gle for four years against such fearful odds.
The war is now over, and what sensible,
good men Of both sections most desire, IL
peace and good will. There can be no peace
and good will unless accompanied with kind
actions. Let US meet the North in that
spirit, with the hope that as they profess
to love the Union, they will endeayor to so
control its destinies that il may afford the
blessings of good government to all.

The great question at Washington now Is,
how shall tho distinguished prisoner be
tried? He has been charged with compiled
ty in the murder of Mr.. Lincoln, but it ap
pears that as each day rolls away, there is
less and less positive proof to substantiu,e
the grave charge, and there is strong dis
position now to abandon it altogether In
deed it is asserted, on good authority, by ,hc
Express, that President johnson has this
week declared that he was misled by tho
opinion Of Judge Holt, and he regrets now
that the proclamation branding Davis as
criminal should have been issued. OF course,
unless future evidence can be produced to
substantiatc the accusation made, it is not
likely that Mr.. Davis will be subjected TO IL
trial for completely in the assassination, and
the authorities in whose power he now is,
will have to be content with trial for
treason. And as, according to the Times,
"he has q character that can invoke no sym
pathy, his deliverance to the gallows will
only help to consign the rebellion itself to
infamy."
The trial of the sccomplces in the assas
sination is now going on publicly. Tho
heavy batteries of the New York press and
the unfettered voice of popular opinion was
too much for Mr.. johnson, and in the face
Of Mr.. Stanton's edict to the contrary, ho
(tho President) ordered that the doors should
be thrown open, and full reports Of the tria!
be made.
President Johnson, in view Of the posi-
bility of what may happen has just effect
ed an insurance upon his life for $4,000.
