Alex. III. StcDhCns,

The Hon. Alexander Fl. Stephens had inter
view with the President on Wednesday, and one
also with the Secretary of State Both interviews,
says correspondent of the New York Duly Necs,
were of the most cordial and pleasant nature. The
President expressed great satisfaction at the pres
ence of Mr.. Stephens in Washington, and said
that he anticipated much good to result from the
influence of Mr. Stephens with the Southern peo-
pie Mr.. Stephens was called upon during the
day by many Senators and Representatives, Re-
pubEcans as well as Democrats. 1t is said that he
made most favorable impression upon all. and
his cheering accounts of the condition of public
feeling in Georgia have had most happy effect.

The Effect of the Proclamation.

The President has accomplished his work. The
patriotic purpose and consistent action OF the
Executive is now apparent Independent of the
power of factiOnists; in the face of the false
representations of the state Of society at the South
and contrary to the smooth tongued sensation
lists amongst us, the President has finally placed
the great seal of State upon proved loyalty.
Faction has refused to aid him in the great work,
many officers of the government have worked
necessarily to retard him, and some designing
men of the South, under the disguise OF 'pecu-
liar Unionism, have lahored to the same effect.
But to no purpose. The South, by ernest truthful
submission to law; by an honest desire to return
to the old relations under the Constitution; by
giving Satisfactory evidence that they acquiesce
in this sovereign and important revolution of the
national unity" have had restored to them, by a
magnanimous and just President, their rights and
immunites as States of the Union.
Subalterns may think are not fit, and Will
not be- for fifty years to come, to be readmitted,
but the great Commander-in-chief of the armies
and navies of the United States, has is ,ued his
solemn proclamation in the exercise of power
invested in him by the Constitution, declaring the
equality of the States as members of common
government the subordination of the military to
civil authorities and the restoration of the right
of habeaS C07p1ls-that great light of liberty, OBJ
scured for a season, by the clouds of war and an
archy.
What the legal effect of this proclamation Will
be, is of such vast mpo3 lance to our people, that
we very readily insert the following we'll consid-
cred, and forcible argument upon this point from
. that sterling paper, the New York World:

courts will have cognizance of murders, rapes,
sons, robberies, and many other crimes heretofore
cognizable exclusively in State courts.

Trial of JEFF. Davis.

We learn from the Washington papers of We'd
nesday, that reliable information was received
there that day from Richmond, to the effect that
a movement is foot to obtain writ of h0beas
c0rpuS for the release of Jefferson Davis. The
writ in question may issue either from the United
States District Court Judge Underwood presid-
ing, or from State Court. 1t is not likely that
man of Underwood S preiudices would grant a writ
for such purpose The Washington papers say
the civil trial of Mr.. Davis will be strongly
urged He can be held, it is added, in the Dis
trict of Columbia, under the indictments pending
against him in the Supreme Court of the District
The correspondent of the New York Times tele-
graphs to that paper, however, that after further
consultation upon this subject, it had been agreed
by the friends of Mr.. Davis to abandon this move
ment for the present, because of the embarrass-
ment it would be 10 President Johnson at this
time. ..a

lures The New England radicals in the
following style:
There arc restless spirits in all parties
and sections, who mean to keep the
country distracted and agitated indefi-
nitely; but they are very small minor
ity of the whole people. Faction and
folly may give them temporary ascen-
dancy, but the great majority, who anx-
iously desire peace and contentment,
must be badly miSled if they do not soon

purpose are in progress between the Presi-
d. Mt and leading politicians of all parties
North and South ; the basis of settlement to
be universal suffrage and general amnesty !;
the President partially acredes TO this pro-
position, but insists upon constitutional
ground, that the questIo;. Of suffrage proper
ly belongs to the States, and is so far averse
to any action Of Congress upon thatsuoiect.
The telegram also states if the assurance
can be obtained from Southern leaders OF
a speedy adoption of universal suffrage, the
President will waive his objections.
