| JEFFERSON DAvIs.-As there is much spec
ulation concerning Jefferson Davis, and as
| there have recently been rumors of process
| being commenced to release him from con-
fnement without trial, it may be stated
that the Secretary of War, in letter dated
Jan. 4, says that Jefferson Davis has not been
arraigned upon Indictment or formal charge
of crime but has been indicted for the crime
of high treason by the Grand Jury of the
District of Columbia, which Indictment is
now pending in the Supreme Court of said
district. He is also charged with the crime
of melting the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln, and with the murder of the Union
prisoners of war by starvation, and other
| barbarous and cruel treatment toward them.
The President deeming it expedient that
Jefferson Davis should first be put upon his
trial before competent Court and Jury, for
| the crime of treason, he was advised by the
law officers of the Government that the most
proper place for such trial was in the State
of Virginia; that State is within the judicial
circuit assigned to the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, who has held no Court there
since the apprehension of Davis, and who
declines for an indefinite period to hold any
Court there. The matters above stated are,
so far as 1 am informed, the reasons for hold
ing Jefferson Davis in confinement, and why
he has not been put upon his trial. The At
torney General of the United States express
ed himself against the doctrine of g con-
structive presence" giving the opinion that
Jefferson Davis and other of the insurgents
ought to be tried in some of the States or
districts in which they in person respectively
committed the crimes with which they may
be charged. None of the Justices of the Su-
preme Court have held Circuit Courts in
these States and districts since actual hostil-
tiles ceased and, he adds, when the Courts
are open, and the laws can be peacefully adj
ministered and enforced in these States,
whose people rebelled against the Govern
ment: when thus peace shall have come in
fact and in law, the persons now held in
military custody as prisoners of war, and
who may not have been tried and convicted
for offences against the laws of war, should
be transferred into the custody of the civil
authorities of the proper districts, to be tried
for such high crimes and misdemeanors as
may be alleged against them. 1 think that
it is the plain duty of the President to cause
criminal prosecutions to be instituted before
the proper tribunals, and, at the proper
times, against some of those who were main
ly instrumental in inaugurating, and most
conspicuous in conducting the late hostili-
ties. 1t will be recollected that the Presi-
dent, in his annual Message, said that strong
objections had been urged to holding those
courts In any of those States where the re-
bellion has existed; and it was ascertained,
by inquiry, that the Circuit Court of the I
United States would not be held in the Dis

The correspondent of the Boston
Commercial, while on his way from
Boston to Washington, witnessed the
following incident, which illustrates the
difference between theory and practice:
"While this political economist was in
the height of his argument, the car filled up,
and every pair of seats was taken except two
directly opposite me. Upon seat in each
of these were two political philanthropists
Their legs were thrown over the vacant seat
beside each of them, although three or four
were standing. One of them was loud in
his protestations of the social and civil
equality of all men. The negro would soon
get his rights. For his part he had no SYM
Dathy with those who would deprive him of
them. Now one of the standing passengers
was a colored man, and he hearing such
words of good cheer, turned to the ardent
defender of the rights of his race, and said,
"This seat does not appear to be engaged
will occupy it," and he sat down. But our
advocate for equality rose in high dudgeon;
he scorned to reply, and went and took a
seat beside his white friend. So much for
preaching, and so much for practice"
A French writer says that there are but
four great social IDEAS viz: Birth, Marriage,
Paris, and Death.

On Saturday last the answer of Gen.
Kruger, commanding the department of
\ rth-Carolina, to the writ of hdbeds
corpus issued in the case of John H.
Gee, was heard before his Honor Judge
| Fowle, in the Court house in this City.
Gen. Ruger declined to produce the
body of Gee. Col. Holland, one of the
counsel for the defence, addressed the
Court at considerable length, maintain
ing that the answer of Gen. Ruger was
insufficient, and closed by moving an
attachment against that officer in the
usual form.
therefore, attempt to present sketch
of Col. Hollands argument. He mani
tested a commendable zeal in behalf of
his client, and his argument was char
acterized by force and ability.
After full and patient hearing his
Honor was understood to say, that ac-
cording to the construction which the
Court was disposed to give to the re-
cent proclamation of the President, the
Court had inferred that it was the pur-
pose of the President to restore to the
people of the State all of the benefits
of the civil law as in time of peace
one consequence of which was, "that
no person could be subject to trial
by martial law, unless he was in
Il
States" 1t was taken for granted that
the petitioner had never been in either
service. The Court had always believed
that in time of peace the civil law of
the State, consistent with the civil law
of the United States, and not in con-
flict Herewith, was supreme, and mar
tial or military law was subordinate
thereto. 1t might be, however, that the
Court had misconstrued the intent of
the Presidents proclamation, and that
it was not his purpose to suppress the
commissions in actual session for the
trial of offenders at the time the proc
lamation was promulgated, The Court,
being DESTROYS of avoiding all conflict
between the civil authorities of the
State and the military authorities of the
United States, deemed it advisable to
take further time for consideration, I'M
til it could have an opportunity of as
certaining the precise meaning of the
proclamation on this respect; and &C
cordingly, the motion was continued
until 10 o'clock, A. NJ, 2sth April,
1866.
Meanwhile the trial of Gee is pro-
crossing before the military court in
this City.
1t is not perfectly clear that the proc
lamation of the President restores the
habeas corpus in all cases, yet we think
the Judge did right under the circu1n-
stances in granting the writ 1t will
test and settle the question; and be-
sides, in every case of doubt it is well
to lean to the side of the civil law
against the law martial.
