Gov. HoLDEN.-In alluding u the recent
dispatches from Washington to Cows.
Sharkey, Perry and Holden, 20 retain their
places till further orders, the Raleigh Sen
tncl saws:
These dispatches have nothing to do
With the recent elections in any OF the
Southern States. The failures of the Con
yentlous and Legislatures of the Southern
States to do all that the Government re-
quires OF them is the reason, and the sole
reason, why the President determines to
continue with US the Provisional Govern
military authority.
Ihere ls nothing in this that ought to
surprise, much less alarm the Southern
people. President Johnson has given the
South the fullest proofs of his sympathy
and kind intentions towards us. The
military rule which he has exercised has
been mild and conservative. While our
people would prefer to have civil law and
rule entirely restored, yet, in North Caro-
lima especially, We have had no cause to
icel that we have been treated harshlv by
the administration of Generals Schofield
OF Ruger. General Ruger has been con
slderate and conservative, and has admin
lstcred his Office in a manner that has met
the appreciation generally OF the people.
With the present military force in the
State. few disorders Of any kind have oc-
CURED, and we feel confident that none
can occur, even if it lasted for months to
come, which would be seriously offensive
to either party. If we are to have military
rule, we hope General Ruger will be con-
iinued, for we nave every confidence in his
ability and in his disposition, to treat our
people with kindness and consideration,
while he observes at the same time the OBJ
hgations imposed upon him by the Govern
ment.
We have felt it our duty to say this
much, because it is due to the President
ana to General Rug. and at the same
time to quiet the fears which interested
persons III the G,lb"r ,torial election.
have been disposed Acite. We repeat,
the election OF Mr.. Worth as civil Cover
nor cannot have the effect of continuing
military rule and authority in the State
day longer than it would have been if Co
vernon Holden had been elected. A know
ledge OF Jonathan Worth's past and pre-
sent position, principles and course, can
but strengthen the State in the confidence
OF the President, tho Congress and the
people of the North.

afford a technical escape for DAVIS,
and leave the great question unde-
Jermined. IL. / ~eIe going to guess,
on the subject, I would say that Davis
is more ely to be paroled during
the next year than to be tried, and f
he is ever hanged, he must do it
himself.
The President is clearly adverse to
contiscatien, and that question is
practically settled. Whatever might
be the views of Congress, confiscation
is not possible with an Executive de-
terminedly hostile to it and with the
pardoning power in his hands. I
lnter, however, that on this point
Congress will harmonize with the
Executive, as q number of even the
radical leaders, such us Greeley and
Sumner, openly oppose it. If our
credit can be sustained otherwise I
am content. Five years hence we
shall oil be wiser on that point than
now.
1 believe that the President will
WELD al his power to effect the ad-
mission of the Representatives of the
rehellious States into Congress during
the next session. The Senate being
organized, the question cannot come
up there until it is brought up in
order; but there will be a strong pres
sure to force the admission Of the
Southern members. by placing their
names on the roll when the House
meets This Mr.. Mcpherson Will not
do, and on all votes of instructions
he will call only those who are re-
turned from States clearly entitled to
representation. The law forbids him
to do otherwise, and he will be faith
tul to it. The question of their ad-
mission will then agitate the House,
and fear make sad breach between
the President and Congress. Tho
South Is encouraged by the position
OF the Administration to be impor-
tunate in it's demand for admission,
and it Is not improbable that it will
III the end be admitted. I have sell
dom seen Congress struggle against
power and hold out to the end.
On the future of the freedmen the
President talks well. He displays
more sense than sentiment on the
question, and means to solve the pro-
blem fairly, as demanded by civiliza-
ton and humanity. OF their ability
to win q position that will enable
them to be Incorporated into our sys-
tenn of Government as citizens he is
not eminently hopeful, but feels that
1t must be fairly tried, with an open
field for the negro. That falling, he
looks upon colonization as the only
alternative.

Jefferson Davis.
ACTION OF CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.


We have taken pains to examine
into the law and decisions touching
the proposed trial of jefferson Davis.
reference to which was had in q recent
article in the hteNigcncer, founded
mainly upon statements published in
the Republican of this city.
AS to the power to hold special
terms, it is provided by the celebrated
Judiciary Act of 1889, that the Cir
cult Judge and District Judge to-
gether, or the Judges of the Supreme
Court, may order a special term to be
held in cases of crime There has
been no statute since to affect this
power.
AS to the charge against Jefferson
Davis, it is, we believe, well settled
that in the crime of treason there can
be no accessories, and that all persons
participating in any way in acts of
treason are principals. The Supreme
Court, in the case of the United States
against Bollman and Startwout, held
that ''if war be actually levied-that
IS, If body of men be actually assem-
bled for the purpose of effecting by
force a reasonable object-all those
who perform any part, however
minute, or homece,' remote from tile
scene Of action, and who are actunNv
haguea in the general conspiracy, are
to be considered as traitors"
This opinion is cited and affirmed
as indisputably the law by Chief JUS
tice Marshall, in the case of Aaron
Burr, page 312, of the report of Burrs
case, edition of 1864.
Therefore, Mr.. Davis may be tried
In any State or Territory where nos
tilities may have been waged by the
rebel miGtary-in Virginia, Maryland,
pennsylvania, the District of Colum-
bla, Tennessee, Kentucky, &c.
Now as to the military aspect of the
question. In the case of the United
States rs. the insurgents of Pennsyl-
vania, which was heard in the Circuit
Court of the United States for the
District of Pennsylvania, iii the year
1897, before Mr. Justice Iredel, of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and MIR. Justice Peters, United
States District Judge Of that District,

Frauds oA the N.rioanI Revenue.

FTauds On the NntiO.1HI Revenue.
P1r-HoLE, November 17-Within the
past few days, the Government officials
have brought to light facts which show
most extensive frauds against the Internal
revenue Department. Yesterday, the
officers seized wells Nos. ~, 81 and 76,

that the bottom has not yet been found.

its discretion, in the proper County,
proceeded to pronounce it's Judgment,
as follows:
''But even if it were practicable on
legal principles to direct Special
Court, can it be thought convenient
or safe in the present state of North
ampton and Bucks Counties to do so?
1t is evident that nothing but an
armed force has recently been suffi-
clent to queu the insurrection and to
arrest the insurgents !; and we hope
that it will never be expected from
the exercise of judicial discretion
that court of justice shall be volun-
tarlly placed In situation where the
execution of its functions and the
maintenance of its authority must de-
pend on the same military auxiliary"
And upon these grounds the motion
for holding the special term of the

ferred to was denied.
National L,ateuigeucer.
JUDGE CHASE AND MIR. DAVIS.
The Louisville Journal is respons:-
BILE for the following adroit thrust at
the Chief Justice:
eve hardly think that Chief JUS
tice Chase would be hardly competent
to try Mr.. Davis. His legal opinions
e1prc ssed years ago would render the
conviction of Davis by him utterly
inconsistent with his past decisions.
A number of years ago, in n fugitive
slave case at Oberlin, Ohio, he de-
cided that the State Court should
take the fugitive from the Federal
officers, and he called upon the Go
vernon to put forward the militia to
enforce the order of the court. 1t
Will be remembered that in this case
Judge Swan interviewed to prevent an
armed collision between the Federal
and State authorities, and was subse-
quently sacrificed for the part taken
by him in the matter. Judge Chase
has been for many years an advocate
of notification, and rs such rendered
the decision alluded to above. BY
fhe same principle upon which he
once urged the military authorities of
Ohio to resist Federal authority,
would he be required, in order to pre-
serve his consistency, to acquit JeHer-
son Davis, whose crime consists in
obeying his own State in resisting the
Federal Government. If, however,
Judge Chase should change his OPT
Mon and convict Mr. Davis, the de-
cision would be lacking in moral force,
because it would be universally said
that he changed for the simple pur-
pose of Furnishing political enemy.
Who shall insist, therefore, that Mr..
Davis shal! be tried by judge who is
to the doctrines of notification? The
trial of Mr.. Davis before civil tri-
bnnal may be productive of much
good to the country, although, as
