jeff. Davis and the Assassination

Some curiosity is exhibited to know why the
first Official statement of Davis completely in the
assassination should have emsnated from the
pre- sident. IL shon'd be known that it was deter
mined. in the FIRST instance. in council, that the
trial of the assassination conspiracy matter should
be turned over 70 the military authorities, and
tbereupon the whole testimony was put in charge
OF Judge Advocate General Holt. who. upon
thorough examination, made his report, implies
ting Davis. not in direct completely with the
ssss.sinss. but in a knowledge of the plot and
its intended execution Upon this report the
president Issued his proclamation.
So telegraphs the Washington correspondent
of The Cincinnati Gazette. Ii is not probable
that President JOHNSON would charge upon JEFF
DAVIS completely in the assassination Of Mr.,
LINCOLN, direct or indirect, without satisfactory
evidence OF bis guilt. aud if guilty no name will
be more e1ecrsted in all time If the object oil
the assassins was to aid the rebel cause. never
was there a more signal failure. If there had
had been any vitality lef, in the rebellion before
the commission of the crime, i, would have beer
the finishing blow. But few events in histor,
have shocked the moral sensibilities of the world
to a greater degree. The rebel leaders at home
and abroad dlsavow completely IN the crime and
denounce the perpetrators of the infamous act
The publication of tire news in Europe caused
the same sensation and deep feeling there that il
did Throughout, the United States.
II the conspirators had anticipated that The
murder of Mr.. LINCOLN would hsve caused anar-
chy 10 our own country or distrust in the stabili-
ty of the government abroad, they have
been doomed to bitter disappointment The
wheels of government moved forward upon the
announcement OF the sad tragedy without even q
jar to arrest their progress. aud in the estimation
Of foreign powers it is stronger TO day than i
ever has been. The nation has passed safely,
but almost miraculously, through the terrible or
deals to which il has been Subjected with a ten.
scity that few anticipated. and now it only re
quires the exercise of wisdom and moder alton &c
give US that unity. homogeneity and prosperity
which will place US foremost among the powers

THE IvDIANa CONsPIBAIORs

The indianapolis correspondent Of The Gin
cinnati Gazette telegrsphs to that paper az fol-
lows:
Public interest again begins to centre upon the
criminals Bowles, Milligan and Horsey. They
have, ever since their trial six months ago. been
confined in the military prison at the Soldiers
Home. strongly guarded, awaiting, as has been
understood, the action Of the president upon their
sentence IL has long been tacitly admitted
that the finding of The court which tried them
a~djudged them to be shot, though nothing ofii
cial has ever been promulgated to such an Ell
feet.
Some time ago the prisoners raised q large
sum OF mouey. and employed able counsel who
wert TO Washington and urged upon Mr.. Lincoln
the ~propriety OF committing their sentence to
mere imp~ri-onment, and is was rumored that
such mis-io ION Was successful Recently, however,
an order came from Washington that the prison
ers should oe heavily ironed aud securely guard
ed, and the construction placed upon thus order
by the friends of the guilty men and others is.
that President johnson has determined TO carry
the original sentence into effect. The prisoners
themselves have lost all hopes. Milligsn has
written TO his family to be prepared tor the
worst.
There isl statements the Sunday paper pub
lished in this city, that the order for their execu-
ton had been received By the military authori-
ties, butaiter dilligent inquiry. i think i, prema-
ture and unreliable. Certain il il that since the
assassination o. our beloved President Lincoln,
the people here would manifest little or no sur
prise should the sentence of death be carried
out.
IL IS reported that srequisItion has been made
by the government upon the Canadian authori-
ties for X II Dodd. who was convicted of trea
son last summer by the military commission. and
escaped from the post Off e building in which he
was confined. The rumor creates considerable
excitement Among his friends in the city.
The foregoing reports were current 10 the city
on Saturday and Sunday. There is no doubt
bu, that the prisoners have been heavily ironed
but their fate Is only known to a iew. II Mr.
LINCOLN had lived. there is no doubt but their
sentence would have been commuted. The late
president thoroughly understood western politics,
aud with that common sense aud sagsci,y which
ever distinguished him, he thoroughly compre-
hended the case OF these unfortunate men. Most
ed. when be heard of Mr.. LlNcoLs's ssssssins-
ton. that in his death they had lost their best and
most powerful friend. The Gsrette's correspond
cot regards the rumor that their execution has
been ordered 50 premature and unreliable, bu,
circumstances Indicate that there is foundation
for il. We had hoped that the intention of Mr.
LINCOLN in regard to these men would have been
carried out. for no one better appreciated Ill
matter than he. and in the end his action would
have met with general approval.
