Of three weeks to order elections for al the
county officers in the stats, and TO have all our
courts, civil and criminal fully organic ID.
He hoped that the terms Of franchise would
be as liberal, or more SO, than those proposed IN
their resolutions.
That, after the county officers were elected, he
intended TO order elections for members OF Con-
gress and the General Assembly of the state.
That when the State was properly and July
represented in the Legislature, they would have
the who subject belO.e them aad within their
own grasp, dependent upon their celebration
and action.
The taxes levied by the last Legislature were
small, only ten cents on the hundred dollars, that
he thought would not be sufficient and should be
increased 10 fifteen or twenty cents, according 10
the valuation OF land in lo6O.
The new license law Of the state is full thirty
three per cent less than that OF 1861. They
would at once proceed to the collection of rev.

COUNSEL FOR Ma. DAVIS.

1t has been stated by the Washington
Star that K. H. Gillette, Esq, formerly of
that city, but now residing in Lebanon, New
York, has given notice TO the clerk of the
court at Washington, in which the indict-
ment was found against Mr.. Davis, that che
had been retained by some Of the friends of
the accused as COUNSEL"
The Metropolitan Record New York; Of
the lO;h inst, contains the following:
1t is with sincere qualification that we an
nvuuce 10 our readers the important fact that
Mr.. Jefferson Davis is to have the advantage
OF the legal acumen and abilities OF Ameri-
cas- greatest living lawyer, the Bayard of
the New York bar, the lncorruptible, con-
SiStent Democrat, the man who has been
from first 10 last true to the principles of
I77G, and whose clear, calm and statesman
ike Judgment could not be warped by the
cllmOr aud excl, ement of the hour. Never
was jusjer tribute paid to one great man
10y another than that paid by the late Arch
bishop of New York TO this eminent iurist,
when be said there was but one word that
properly and correctly rhymed with O'Con-
nor, and that was "hOnOr."
We congratulate our friends, and the
friends of justice and fair plly, that the de-
fence OF Mr.. Davis has been placed in such
competent hands.
On the subjec. of the forthcoming trial, the
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Herald says:
1t is not to be inferred from the fact that
JEFF. Davis has been indicted in this District
that he will certainly be put on trial here
The impression that he was indicted in this
District at the instance OF the government is
without foundation. The indictment was re-
turned by the Grand jury at the instance of
the District Attorney alone, who acted with
out consultation with any member Of the ad-
ministration. He is equally liable to indict-
ment in Maryland and IN the Eastern district
Of Pennsylvania, and il indicted IN either OF
said districts will, doubtless, be tried in that
one to which the government may see tit to
turn him over.

ACCOUNTED FoR-- Surprise has been
expressed at the Sacramento Unions in.
tense hatred of Horace Greeley. 1t is
easily accounted for. Greeley knows the
Shoddy editors and proprietors of that
ShodJy concern. lie thus cruelty venti-
ates them:
A journalist who uniformly represents" the
popular opinion may make bis newspaper
profitable ~ its publishers. but what can he
possibly have done f,r his readers? AS re-
hicle OF Lews. his sheet may be valuable, bnt
his editorials. considered as lamps along the
public highway. and guides to public thinking,
can be Of no use whatever.
The editorials Of the Union, it is con-
ceded by its friends and foes, are models
Of tiatness. Stupidity and meanness in
variably characteriz. them.
