WIRz, whose name will be henceEorth
infamous, was. executed
yesterday, in aecordance with the ind
ings of the military commission. before
which he was so elabOrately and inn
partially tried. The wretch had the
hardwood to protest his innocence to
the last, just as IL It Werepossfble, by so
doing, to. reverse the cool and 5unani-
nous Judgment OF the country and the
world. Evidence would no longer be
evidence, and faith among men would
be utterly destroyed, could 1t be shown
that WirZ was innocent OF the awful
and unspealzable bEutalities laid to his
charge. The testimony against him
was mountain high, and from confed-
crate aud federal witnesses alike. The
man was SO stepped and besotted in
cruelties that long ago he lost thesense
ofmoral recognition, and hence 1t is
not strange that he dared to go into
eternity protesting against the Justice
Of his sentence.

The Republican, of this evening, mo-
ttces at great length, q paragraph rela-
tive to the trial of Jeff. Davis, and the
opinion Of Chief Justice Chase upon Il.
Il gives some additional facts, from
came here from Ohio some time In Au-
gust last, at the special invitation of the
President, to consult on the general
subject of trials for treason. Subse-
quently, about the first of October last,
President johnson addressed q letter
TO Chief Justice Chase, informing him
that 1t might become necessary for the
Government to prosecute some high
crimes and misdemeanors, committed
against the United States within the
district of Virginia Chief Justice
Chase's circuit, and inquiring whether
the Circuit Court of the United States
for'that district is so far organized and
In condition to exercise its functions
that the Chief Justice, or either of the
Supreme Courts would hold q term of
the Circuit Court there during the au-
tumn or early winter for the trial of
~ About the middle of October Chief
Justice Chase replied to the Presidents
letter. He positively stated that his
Circuit Court for the District of Yir-
ginia, either to be presided over by
VI 0A4P Vi AA9 &Ans9OIAGAggsp MOAAA
not hold a term during the autumn or
early winter. He stated that the regu-
lar term authorized by Congress would
commence this year on the 9th of No
vember, the present month, only one
week before the annual term of the
Supreme Court, when all 1.-THE Judges are
required to be present; leaving but one
week for the Circuit Court to sit, which,
In the opinion OF the Chief Justice,
would be too short term for the trans
action of any important business. But
the Chief Justice adds that were the
facts otherwise, he SO much doubts the
propriety of holding the Circuit Courts
Of the United States in States which
have been declared by the Executive
and Legislative departments of the
National Government to be in rebellion,
and, therefore, subjected 10 martial law,
before the complete restoration ofthese
broken relations with the nation, and
the supersedure of the military by the
civil administration, that he would be
unwilling to hold such Courts in such
States within his CircCit-which in
cludes Virginia-until Congress shall
have had an opportunity to consider
and act on the whole subject. The
Chief Justice expresses to the President
the opinion that q civil court, in dis
trict under martial law, can only act by
the sanction and under the supervision
Of the military power, and he positive
~ asserts that he could not think that
1t becomes the Justices of the Supreme
Court exercise jurisdi ction undersuch
