shau treason Be Wade odtou.,

1t was recently announced, on what
seemed excellent authority, that Jefferson
Davis was shortly to be brought to trial
for treason before the United States Cir
cult Court, and many details in reference
to the time Of trial, the counsel employed,
&c, which seemed inherently probable,
were made public. 1t is now stated by a
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune that these arrangements
have been reconsidered, and that, in defer
ence to the supposed wish of a majority of
the people, he is to go UNPUBLISHED. We
earnestly hope this statement is false. In
thename of the brave soldiers of the Union
who have fought with and crushed the
treason which he headed; in the name of
the thousands who have fallen in the con-
test in the name of the widows and
orphans whom his crime has bereaved; in
the name of the dead of Andersonville,
whom his cruelty slaughtered in the
name of our martyred President, struck
down by the fell spirit of Treason and
Murder which he evoked, we protest
against letting this arrh-traitor go free.
We can conceive of nothing more humil-
iating to the national honor, more demon
alizing to the South, more insulting to the
loyal people, han turning loose this great
criminal, un-whipt o justice, to be Toasted
and feted and fattered by his rebel adj
mirers. 1t would be putting a premium
upon treason, instead of making it odfuus.
1t is not necessary-possibly it would
not be wise-that Jefferson Davis should
pay the penalty of his treason with his
life. 1t may be hat it would be beneath
the. dis-=ty % "a PuUlrv " seTvcU IOr pun
ishment one rebel u of millions and
condemn him to death. 1t may be that
the scaffold would make a martyr out of
the traitor, and a heroic death might cause
many to forget the crimes of a treacher-
life. But whether Davis is or is not
hung, it is most essential that the courts
should pronounce his crime treason, and
brand him as a traitor. Secession is
So bayonets have decided, and
it is needful that the courts reafirm
decision. President johnson has de- I
clared that treason must be made odious.
and we lookto see him fulfil his promise !
by bringing Davis to trial. Should he he G
convicted, u Government might find it
'onsonant with its dignity and safety to 3
grant him conditional pardOn-but the l
irst thing is that he be convicted. r

Of the whole number. These Senators are
chosen by the counties of Atlantic, Ber-

and Ocean. All the present Senators
from these counties are Democrats, except
those from Cumberland and Ocean. The
Unionists hope to gain Atlantic, Mercer

one majority in the Senate, and enable
them to carry the Constitutional Amend
meHt The Assembly chosen last year
stood 80 Union to so Democratic, so that a
Union gain of one would suffice to give our
friends the majority. We confidently
expect a much larger gain, and know of
no district which the Unionists are likely
to lose from last year. And our Jersey
friends give US good hope fthe election of
Marcus L. Ward, the Union candidate for
Governor. McClellan's majority last year
was 1901. Mr.. Ward was defeated in
1862 by 1887 majority. To overcome
such odds will be a magnificent victory,
but we have a strong hope that, by the
help of the soldiers, it will be achieved.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Great Base Ball Match for the Cham
pIOnship.

--E H~ Uar
The telegraph has already announced
the result of the great baseball match in
Philadelphia between the Athletic club
of that city and the Atlantic of Brooklyn,
which came off on Monday last. The At
lantic club retain the championship, hav-
ing vanquished their challengers by 81 to
Is. Owing to. the fact that baseball is
rapidly becoming the national game, and
that the two clubs above named are recog-
nized as the best in the United States,
the match has excited great interest. We
extract the following in regard to it from
the Philadelphia Press of Monday. We
must remark, however, that the account
of this paper is eolOred by partisan feeling,
in a mi unwort by of it:
This was unquestionably the finest game
vet played in this city. The Athletics had
their full nine, but Kleinfelder, and,
we believe, Birkenstock, wero both suffer-
ing from sore arms. In the eighth innings
one of Reach's fingers was disabled, inter-
fering some with his play.
The playing on the part of both clubs
was splendid. Their fielding was about
equal, but the Athletics were not up to
their usual standard in batting. To this
may be attributed their failure yesterday.
Both Reach and Berkenstock we're below
their usual mark in that; but their fielding
was excellent. Wilkins played very well
as short stop, but his batting was wretch
ed. Mcbride was unlucky, being put out
on the base. Kleinfelder Jared Il little bet
ter; his catching was very good. Luen-
gene never played better, and Smith ex-
celled himself. Potter and Gaskill also
did very well. In fact the whole club
may be proud of the way they played yes
terday.
On the part of the Athletics, Crane,
Chapman and Calvin did some very fine
fielding. The same can be said of all the
fielders. Pearce's catching was splendid,
and Pratt's pitching so much resembles
McBride's that it is doubtful which Is the
superior. On the last two innings he was
a little switter than Mcbride, but on the
whole he was surpassed by the Philadel-
phian.
We are sorry there was not a better UNI
pire yesterday. The gentleman who acted
in that capacity did not give satisfaction,
if We may judge by the conversation
around us. Some of his decisions excited
a great deal of comment, anything but
complimentary to him. Wehope no other
match will see this gentleman in the same
position.
The New Workers came here, if may
judge by the commotion of their friends,
determined to defeat the Athletics very de-
~cisiyely. but the score shows thew were n
little too sanguine. They did win a vic
tory, it is true, butnot with such great odds
as they expected. The return game will
be played on the Capitoline grounds,
Brooklyn, on Monday next.
The crowd which witnessed the match
was the largest we have seen for a long
time. There were upwards of twenty
thousand persons on the ground and inthe
streets surrounding it. The following is
the score:

The President and snrrrase.

Concerning the latest expression of the
President on the vexed question of suf-

closely with the bill introduced in our

thropic aud primary meaning of the term.
sentiment quoted above from his
own statement is the very same which we
heard repeatedly from his lips. in private
conversation, in this city, three year. ago.
We affirm that the ideas which we have
quoted, and which appear to have dumb
founded some of our contemporaries, are
not new with the President. He has only
reafirmed what we have heard him often
avow before, when the nation was far less
advanced in liberal ideas than it is TODAY.
But we began this paragraph for the pur-
of suggesting, respectfully, to our
conservative friends, who are DESTROYS of
'estoring civil government in this State

What does the President Meanq

President from the view point of a single
citizen. And yet, if there be any thing
more difficult for a white American citizen.
it is not to Judge There Is, to o-anPlieetc
the first difficulty, first, a lack of infOrma-
ton from all sources: a~fterward, a crowded
foreground without just perspective; but
chiefly a lamentable ignorance of the Pres
idential subjeetivity. If we only knew the
grand controlling purposes, ambitions, pre-
fersnees and desires of the Executive mind,
what floods Of light would stream over the
objective manifestations.
Thus, it grieves us to learn that John B.
Haskin, Democratic member elect from
New York, has no more (appareft) difi-
Guilty in securing the displacement of
Republican postmasters in his District,
to make r6Ofi fer the leanest Of the
unterrifed, than if a Democratic Presi-
dent we're in power. 1t grieves S to see
the President order the Government adj
vertising into the miserable Constitutional
Union, of this city, whose lying name is
bit the least, and least n%oxious, of the
torrents of reasonable falsehood with
which its columns have been flooded for
five years past; this in violation of the
law which limits the patronage to a single
sheet, " and SOLELY as His Excellency is
said to have explained, ntO keep the paper
alive" as it has neither subscribers nor
advertising patronage. It grieves us to
find the editor Of this valuable advertis-
ing medium leisurely smoking in the Pre-
sidential Office two hours together, with
his feet, not under, but on the Presidential
table, diverting the Presidential ear with
select anecdotes, while a score of distin-
guished citizens, Department officers on
official business, and others, patiently wait
outside. Now, if we knew the subjective
relations of the Presidential mind to such
unpleasant Objectivitles, our grief might
be largely sOothed, or ever quite removed.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
A Major General, in The confidence Of
the President-if we may receive his own
assurances upon this point-was given to
understand, but a few days since, in o
frank interview with His Excellency, that
the Message would receive and conve to
Congress all Executive responsibility in
connection with reconstruction that His
Excellency would say for instance: "Gen-
tlemen of the Houses Ihave the honor to
represent to your sovereignties that upon
assuming office, 1 found a very concilia-
tory policy already inaugurated, not only
formally, as in the reorganization of Lou
isiana, but lying ready in the councils of
the Administration, for universal applica-
ton, upon the return of peace. Coming
to the Presidency under such circumstan-
ces as Swallowed my coming, 1 could not
think it courteous to my predecessor or TO
his Constitutional advisers, who were al
ready mine, to interrupt the course of
events already shaped, by the introduction
of theories more satisfactory to myself. 1
have, therefore, without essential modif-
cation, carried forward the plans of your
late President, not without the approval of
a large proportion of my fellow citizens,
deferring the formation of a new policy
until 1 could avail myself of your very
valuable ~counsels. And here l pause for
