Now that jefferson Davis is captured
he may be tried for treason or upon the
charge Of completely in the murder of Mr.
Lincoln. Tie government las dis.ini Il,
charged the gr:it of that crime upon him
a..i it remains now to convince the world
of the truth of the assassination. Let AL
things be done in order We want no back
stairs tribunal. The dignity Of the issue
involved in the trial Of Davis, and the
majesty of the American people, demand
a close compliance with all the most i'm
posing forms Of law, and the adminstra.
tion of strict, rigid, impartial Justice
Upon the trial of this case, the eyes ol
civilized men all over the globe will rest
The noble c>amplc of foise of character
and Moral force, already displayed By our
people in the dreadful experience Of the
past few weeks, and in the conduct of this
long war, must not lie lost. The right.
eous Judgment of the offended nation
must be solemniy awarded, and no trick
or artiGce or sensation, must be suffered to
stand in the way of state trial, which
shall fifty conclude the terrible struggle
already ended III the field.

This event is the great one Of the war
since the surrender Of Lee to Grant, end
Johnston to Sherman, and creates pro
found sensat on. There are many opin-
ions expressed as to what will be done
with Davis, and what it is best to DO with
him. We know his past history the his
tory Of his escape from Richmond, and
his alleged completely in the assassination
of the late president. These last alcga-
tions are already before military tribu-
nal, and the public are ready to believe
anything upon responsible evidence. At
best Mt. Davis cannot expect to escape a
trial, one to take place openly, and before
Il civil court, we trust. 1t is matter of
history that he was long way behind
South Carolina in his demonstrations of
I trpa + ho u ~
tes in the senate. 1t was both his fault
and his misiortunes to be so far conspicli-
Gus in treason as to become the most
available candidate for the presidency of
the SO called confederate government We
believe he did not leave the United States
senate until he was called home by the
! legislature Of the state of Mississippi He
took his departure, it is fair to say, with 50
much dignity that several Of the republi-
can senators shook hands with him, and
yet with 50 much boldness and determine
ton rs TO warn every one that he was no.
only against the then forthcoming ad-
mlnistration, but against the government
of the United States We know the his
tory of the Montgomery government,
including the diabolcal order Of Pope
Walker, secretary of war, to fire on Fort
Sumpter-the first cause of all our woes.
We know, also, the history of the Rich
mond government, and now the chief of
that government is in the hands and at
the mercy Of the government of the
United States.
There is no sympathy with jeff. Davis
crimes any where in the loyal states, and
certainly none in the world, among any
but fcnds in his completely with murder
supposing the charge to be true. The
general wish among thoughtful men is,
that now that the government has this
man in its hands he should be dealt with
deccntly, according to law, and not by
Judge Lynch, of California, as suggested
by correspondent, nor by any other
Judge of a like character.

1t is an obvious suggestion that .hC
revulsion of feeling against the rebel
leaders in the south should be encouraged
Hence there should be no such harshness
or excess of rigor in dealing with any class
as shall excite lympathy in'thcir behalf
1t night be possible by an error in this
direction to turn and set back the popular
current in the south, which is now st
hopefully flowing in the right direction
Justice may be done upon the rebel leaders
without producing this effect, if it be done
calmly and not in the spirit of vengeance
Otherwise we make martyrs of those We
punish, and southern people will fee
themselves condemned and Inundated in
the punishment of their leaders. There
} is nothing more to be desired at the press
, ent moment than that the newly awakened
: hostility to the leaders of the rebellion
should be extended and strengthened
among the southern people. Fit can be
made SO prevalent that these men will be
tabooed and excluded from influence and
power for all time to come, it will be oul
best guarantee for the future peace and
loyalty of the south. If through any il
Judged measures of the government or any
wrong temper on the part of the nortl
the present tendency shall be arrested anC
the southern people merely submit hu
not acquicsce in the restored power of th'
union, the future for another generation
will he thick set with trouble and dissen
