We owe to the perfect administration Of

The Johnson policy as represented by

track.

DAVIS TRIAL.
1t is known that President johnson has
expressed the greatest anxiety to bring to q
legal issue the question as to whether trea-
son is a orime, and whether, as such, it can
be punished. s
-.fnllnwing, from to-day's National
Republican, Is 05li---ad To be cUTTeUU.-
President has not only consulted his
advisers, his cabinet, and the proper law
officers of the Government on the subject,
but he has also invited to his council some
of the most eminent constitutional and
criminal LAWYERS in the land. Among these
may be named Chief Justice Chase who
came here from Ohio some time in August
last at the special invitation of the Presi-
dent TO consult in general on the subject OF
the trial for treason. Subsequently, about
the first of October last, President Johnson
addressed a letter to Chief Justice Chase iR-
forming him ii 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 or in condition to exercise its
functions, that the Chief Justice or either
of the Associate Judges of the Supreme
Court would hold term of Circuit Court
there during autumn or early winter for the
trial of cases. --
Chief Justice Chase replied to the Presi-
dent that he positively stated that his Cir
cult Court for the District ofVirginia, either
to be presided over by himself or one of his
associates would not hold a term during the
autumn or early winter. He stated that the
regular term authorized by Congress would
commence this year on the 9th Of Novem-
Der, the present month, only one week be-
fore the annual term Of the Supreme Court,
when all the Judges are required to be pres
ent, allowing but one week for the Circuit
Court to cit, which in the opinion of the
Chief Justice would be too short for the
transaction of any very important business,
but the Chief Justice adds that were
the facts otherwise he so much doubts the
propriety of holding the Circuit Court Of the
United States in States which have been de-
clared by the Executive and Legislative
Departments of the national government to
be in rebellion, and therefore subjected to
martial law, before the complete restoration
of their broken relation with the nation and
the supercedure Of military by civil admin
istration, that he would be unwilling to hold
such courts in such States within his circuit
which includes Virginia, until Congress
shall have had an opportunity to consider
and act on the subject. The Chief Justice
expressed to the President the opinion that
the OWL court in the district under martial
law can only sit by sanction and under
supervision of military power, and he posi-
lively asserts he could not think that it be
else jurisdiction under such conditions.
