no chance to report were marked as de-

application Of the parties aud by the prop

Turbett township, as good and brave
soldier as ever drew blade, suffers from
such an error, and so DO many other gal

Why Jea Davis is not Tried, Sc.

WAsHIYGToN, October, II, 1865
During the interview, on Friday, between
the President aud the South Carolina del.
egates, he said that, if treason has been
committed. there ought to be some test
by the highest tribunal as to the power
Of the Government to punish the crime,
in order 70 assert the vindication of the
Government and the Constitution, even if
the Executive ciemency should thereaf-
ter be exercised. This repetition Of his
intention certainly does not compert with
the assertions Of at least one newspaper
correspondent (and which have been ex-
tensively published) that "the President
has no idea of bringing Jefferson Davis
to trial" The delay has certainly not
been the falt OF the Administr nor
is there any reason TO believe that the de-
sired test has been abandoned. 1t Is
the business OF the judiciary, and not OF
the Executive, to ini,iate proceedings ~
the premises: but there is a difference
Of views among jursts, and the opinion
has been advanced that, in the present
unsettled condition of the Southern
States, which are still under martial law,
in one of which the trial would have to
take place, no general peace having been
proclaimed, additional legislation by Con
gress may become necessary; aud, fur
ther, there would not be time enough be-
tween now and the first Monday in De-
cember 20 try the case, for that period
the Justices of the Supreme Court Of The
United States VIII commence their regu,,
lar term at the Capital Whatever may
be the ultimate disposition Of jeff Davis
and Others, this appears to be the present
condition of the important subject.
1t will be reeolecied that during the
Conspiracy Trial two printers, employed
in the Office Of rhe Selma Dispatch, tes-
tilted that George W. Gale was the au-
thor Of an advertisement which appeared
in the Dispatch, soliciting contributions
to the amount Of 81 100000, with which
to procure the assassination of President
tiuco.'s aud certain members Of his Cab
net. Gale was in Washington when the
estimopy was gwen, and had engaged
counsel to conc;,ct his case, IN the event

TIE LIST OF RESERTERs.


The Democrat makes sad complaint
because the lsst of Deserters was publish
ed The act Of Congress disfrancbises
deserlers and requires that they should be
made known to the public. Cap tain Pat
terson, Provost Marshal, ia abedieoce to
orders had the list made from Tie record
and sent it out for publication. He. puly
ebeyed orders-yet We presume he Is not
sorry for exposing deserters 10 the world.
lie re- rets as much as any one that errors
should exist, but he has no power to
Change ,he record, except on the apPlica-
lion of the parties themselves and upon
proper proof being made. 1t is the re-
cord as made since May, 1868, when the
Board was first crganizei up to the first
week in April, 1865. Captaic Patterson
has only been Proyast Marshal since Jan.
1s65-sbout three months Of the time
As far as known there are no errors On
the record as it stands during that time,
bat there may be, and ii4so, he will be
glad TO have the parties make application
10 have them corrected. With errors
previous to LIST January, 1860, he had
nothing to dc and is no more responsible
than the editors Of the Democrat, and
this they we'll know. The Democrat
charges errors where they do not exist,
an for the sake of illustration We refer
20 the case Of John p. McWilliams, the
first one named by it. Mr. NcWilliams
was drafted in 1864, and after learning
;hsl fe was drafted, started to Pbiiadel
pbia, enlisted ana received bounty
This was ia open violation Of the law Of
Congress, and although he served honora-
plv and was discharged, Jet By the law
be stands as a deserter, and comes under
the penalty provided for deserters. We
wish his cage had not been brough; so
prominently before the public By the
Democrat. as lie is clever fellow but
since the Democrat attempts to cover &
lie by his case, we are compelled to tell
.he truth as We can provo by the record.
Had he beeu reported to the War Depart
mept at any time and his name pointed
ont on the rolls, be would not have been
discharged, but would have been held as
deserter. The law for,';ds bounty to
drafted men, aud yet after he 'Sss drafted
aud knowing it, enlisted and toCS the
bounty from the Government. The dis
position of the Board was to favor M,r. !
Nc Williams as lie very well knows; but
he cannot compiaia Of the record as made
by himself Hjs case is ike that of many
others, ana thsy can blame no one bat
themselves. Their record capao: be
changed by any power short Of Congress.
Another error arose in the following man
uer: When the first enrolment vas made
iu 1853 it was ordered that all soldiers
then in service shocld be enrol!ed and
marked 'in service This was doue to
equalize the draft from the different dis
triets. Those having no soldiers IN ser

has found quarry worthy Of his aspirations, and
one which throws all quondam sur geons completely

well worthy the consideration Of the thousands

and invalids who annually flock to this metropolis

EDIroR DEMOCRAT: Receiving. as you do,

to YOU, il seems difficult to invest with interest
such inside and outside matters US present
themselves to my mind. will, nevertheless,
attempt the task Of giving you an occasional
epistle in regard to shat is going On in Sacra,
mento.
The ali.abSorbing topic, as everybody is
aware, is the Senatorial contest. Ii is generally
conceded that Low, Sergeant and Cole, are the
leading aspirants. AS far us can ascertain,
they are nearly On level both as to popularity
and merit.
II is thought by those claiming to be know
ing ones, that new Richmond has Suddenly
appeared in the field. IalIude to FELTON,. 1t is
conceded that he is a man of a high order oi
talent. Such being the fact, what earthly show
has be at the hands OF party which endorses
men and measures more for their UNttness
than fitness?
1t is certainly noteworthy fact that, in the
so called Union party, the men of the highest
order Of talent are all iu the back ground.

more or less on the Senatorial election.

10 enter into II gradual contraction of the na
tional currency and final return To Il specie
! basis; and
Whereas, California having 81 tenacinnsIy
held to her policy Of god and silver currency
without suffering anv great injury to her in

Resolved bv the Assembly, the Senate con-
curing, That 10 rtinquiSh our policy at this
late dav would be ut once unwisc and mex G.
dent and D- it further
Resolved, That we will resist anv and all
attemps to repeal The Specific Contract Law
Those who profess to be posted with
regard to the complexion of the legi,Ia.
ture, positively state that the Specific
Contract Law will be repealed. Laying
the above on the table, by decided ma.
jority, they regard as equivalent to its re,
peal. We believe an overwhelming ma
jority of the people Of out State, judging
from the feeling in our own county, are
opposed to the repeal of the Specific Con
tract Law. The Democracy are commit
ted against its repeal, but they are in a
hopeless minority, and cannot prevent it
without the assistance Of Republicans -
To prevent It's repeal rcmonstrance>
should at once be gotten up aud circula-
ted and forwarded to the legislature. =
The voice ofth people may be more po,
tent with the majority than the selfish
interests Of party leaders. Messrs. Kid
der and Smith, from this county, voted
to lay the above resolutions on the table /;
Messrs. Campbell ard Taylor against. =
The latter reflected the will cf their con
stituents. the former the will of party
leaders.
