CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND JEFF. DAVIS.—
The. Springfield Republican denounces Chief Jus-
tice Chase for refusing to bring Jefferson Davis to
trial, and imputes to him improper and disgraceful
motives. According to our contemporary,
_Mr.
Chase is ambitious of the Presidential chair in 1868,
and dares not commit himself against Davis for fear
cf a loss of Southern influence at the next election.
But the popular feeling, swinging back and forth
through the changing relations and changing
tem-
per of South and North, now more than ever
almost, demands alike Davis's trial, conviction, and
execution. So much is being forgiven to the rebel-
lion and to the rebels, and yet so much of their old
spirit is still present in the country, that the loyal
people, not in passion, but in sober sadness, are
coming firmly to the conclusion that a historical
monument should be erected to the depth and height
of this great crime of treason ; that not so much
punishment but conspicuous warning is needed for
the benefit of the nation ; and that in the person of
Jefferson Davis it can be most simply, most surely
secured. And yet, as everybody can see, with the
position of the chief justice and the motive for it,
and the disposition of other presidential candidates
to gain favour also in the South, such a result is not
likely to be attained. The country is more likely
to be worried into acquiescence in some surrepti-
tious disposition of his person and his case ; some
compromise with the crime and the criminal, through
a rivalry of the men in power for the Southern vote
in 1868. And our contemporary exclaims, in a
burst of indignation, " What a conclusion to the
majestic march of our last five
years' history is thus
before us !"
