WHY JEFF. DAVIS Is NOT TRIED.
(From The Tribune)
wAsnNeroN. Tuesday. Oct. L. lSt

WAsHINGToN, Tuesday Oct. II, 1865.
During the interview, on Friday between
the President and the South Carolina dele
gates he said that, Il treason has been com
mitsed there ought TO be some test by the
highest tribunal as to the power Of the
government to punish the crime, IN order
to assert the vindication of the Government
and the Const tuition, even if the Executive
clemency should thereafter be exercised
This repetition f his intention certainly
does not comporL with the assertions of at
least one newspaper correspondent and
which have been extensively published },
that "the President has no idea of bring
ing Jefferson Davis to trial" The delay
has certainly not been the fault of the Ad-
ministration, nor is there any reason to be-
lieve that the desired test has been aban-
doned. 1t is known that it is the business
of the Judiciary, and not of the Executive,
to initiate proceedings in the premises but
there is difference of views among iurists,
and the opinion has been advanced that, in
the present unsettled condition Of the South
ern States, which are still under martial
law, in one of which the trial would have
to take place, no general peace having
Dtcl pIOCldlultC, duuillOudl legislation by

Justices of the Supreme Court Of the United
States will commence their regular term
at the Capital. Whatever may be the uti.
mate disposition Of Jefferson Davis and
others, this appears to be the present con
dltion of the important subject.
1t will be recollectcd that during the
Conspiracy Trial two printers, employed
in the Office of The Selma Dispatch, testified
that George w Gale was the author of al
advertisement which appeared in The Dis
patch, soliciting contributions to the amount
Of 81 ,000,0 with which to procure the
