TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIS.

According to old-fashioned rules, the disci.
pine of culprt proceeds in this order: i. In.
formation of bis crime; 2. Issue Of process for
his arrest; 3. Capture; 4. Indictments 5. Ar
ragnment and Trial; 6. Execution Of the SEN

at the wrong end; but the Government has
thus far followed established precedents, and
we presume will do SO to the end. 20 20 20.
IfPresident Johnson has not been misled with
regard to Davis's completely in the assassination
Of President Lincoln, we trust he is to be first
tried. distinctly and avowedy on that charge.
Not having seen the evidence in the Bureau
of Military Justice" we have formed no judg-
ment as to its strength; but we are advised that
y leading New-York Democrat who knows the
arcb.rebel intimately is convinced of his guilt.
Aud II Davis is an assassin, we are anxious that
he should be arragned, tried, convicted and pun
ished as just that and nothing else. We see
nothing essentially incredible in the presump-
ton, after what is known of the massacre Of our
Black and the starvation Of our White soldiers

for it unless the evidence is plainly sufficient to
convict him. Yet, if he should be tried for muir.

And if he is to be 80 tried, we trust that trial

ablcs. lawyers in Tho United States viii prose-
cute, and a Ike number defend the case, and
that every question properly involved in the ~
sue will be raised and decided. We want a dis
tinct, positive adjudication of Che assumed right
of Il State or States to withdraw from the Union
at pleasure as also on their alleged power to
absolve their citizens from their allegiance to
the Federal Constitution. We want clear
adjudication of the import extent and limlta-
tons of that allegiance, 80 that the cadet, the
military or naval officer, the civil functonary,
may know precisely what is the judicial con-
struction Of his oath-what ",he law OF the
land" understands and requires him to mean by
his oath. Properly tried-aS it of course will be
by such a tribunal-this case will do much to
settle auhoritatively and conclusivcly questions
which have too long remained open, and give to
our institutions that Conference and sodity
which their founders clearly contemplated, but
which unsound and caviling commentaries have
tended to weaken and undermine.
Among the great State Trials which illustrate
the jurisprudence of Christendom, that of JET
rer,on Davis and others for treason, in deiiantly
resisting the authority of the United States and
waging bloody war for its subyersion through
out thirteen States, is destined to hold promi'
nent place. Let the American People bear in
mind that they too, are on trial III this case, and
by their calmness, order, and respect for Their
own authorities and tribunals, make plain the
difference between Freedom and Anarchy, Civ

sible Government is that which is based on the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS sER,Rs.

The exhaustion Of the second series Of the
Seven Thirties, and the unavoidable delay in
getting the third series ready for delivery, seem
to have produced temporary lull in the SUBJ
scriptions Yet the sales of the last two days
amount to more than six millions of dollars.
The people show themselves eager to lend that
sum to a Government which has sold It's bonds
SO fast that il lacks at this moment the mechani.
cal facilities to produce and deliver the paper
Ievidence Of its indebtedness To those who desire
to become its creditors.
There remain something less than $3.50 000,
900 Of the loan authorized by the Act of March,
1865. This amount the Secretary of the Treas
ury will issue in Seyen-Thrtics, exactly similar
in all respects 20 the first and second series now
disposed Of, except that the right is reserved
to pay six per cent interest in gold instead of
seven three 'tenths per cent in currency-at the
option OF Government. The deliveries Of the
bonds of this new series cannot begin before
June !, but subscriptions will be received
meantime, and will be registered and filled in the
order Of their receipt. How long the opportunity
to secure these bonds at par is likely to last can
scarcely be Judged from the fact that the pre-
ceding series of $500, 0OO, 600 was exhausted in
six weeks; the subscription opening April /,
and the whole amount being taken by the end
of last week. May l3. For it is TO be noted
that while the subscriptions TO the second series
began somewhat languidly, and during the first
week in April reached only about one million
of dollars, during last week they amounted to
Ninety Eight Millions, and nearly one half of
the whole $500, 900, 900 was sold during the last
two weeks
II is impossible therefore, to predict with
what degree Of rapidity this new aud last loan
will be taken up, nor how long there will re-
main any loan to subscribe to. When the last
of the present. series is subscribed for. people
who want Government sccur,ies-tbe best OF
all securties-must go to the brokers and
bankers and buy them at premium.

THE MONUMENT.

The memory Of the late President will be
kept green in the hearts Of our children, and his
name isrecOrded for all time in the annals of
these distracted years. His best monument
will be the Union. not so much restored as re.
generated--the Union freed very much by his
wisdom from the constant peril of domestic
institution morally hideous and politically ab-
snrd. But the people demand some ma.
terial mcmcnto Of their martyred Presi.
dent-some structure worthy of tho man
and of his pure and great fame. We ask per.
mission to suggest that this should DO well
considered tribute, and TO remind all con.
cerned that clumsy, awkward and uninean-
ing statue is chronic modification from
the shame of which, when once incurred,
it is impossible to escape. Now, if ever,
we should shake off the conventional
trammels of petrifed art, and resolve to have
nothing to do with togas, with horses upon two
legs. with Roman Senators. with stone Jupiters

The American People will hear with satisfac-

eminent subordnates who have led the armies
of the Union to the magnificent triumphs of the
last few months, there exists not merely perfect
accord and harmony, but the fullest mutual
confidence. the most fraternal esteem and trust.
Each feels that the other has acted well his
part, aud that the conclusive victories of the
Union cause do honor to each and all, being the
fruits of their wel-combined efforts and their
perfect cooperation. We sincerely hope that it
may be found practicable to hold the coniem'

JUST RIGHT.

We understand that Collector Draper, in
full accord with the views of his supcriors at
Washington, will heDccforth give a decided
preference, in making appointments for the
Revenue Service at this port, to those who have
dared and suffered in UNFOLDING the authority
of the Union against slaveholdiDg treason. By
this, it is not meant that good officers are TO be
summariIy displaced to make room for soldiers
nor that soldiers will be appointed regardless Of
their capacity fitness and moral worth; but
every soldier who shall have lost leg or an
arm. or been otherwise disabled, i'll the Military
or Naval service of the country, will be regarded
as having peculiar aud paramount claim to
any place which may be vacant that he is found
competent and worthy to FILL and the claims of
rival applicants will not be considered, unless
in very special cases.
We say, therefore, TO the vast crowd who arc
still hanging about the Custom-IIouse in the
hope of realizing their long-deierred aspirations,
There is no use in holding on another hour,
you will not be appointed. But the country is
full of work, and You can all find some if you
try. The Railroads want fuel ties and new
structures; the farmers are generally short
handed, and Haying is just ahead. So quit
lodging and idling around Poverty Corner, and
