Thc Trinl of .Jcfferson Davis.

The Senate the other day, passed reso-
luton of inquiry "a to the reasons why
JEFFERSON DAVIS had not been put on his
trial. Attorney General SPKED replied in a
letter Of considerable length. The princi-
pal point he makes is, that DAVIS must be
tried in the state and District In which his
offence is alleged to have been committed ;
but Chief-Justice CHASE, to whose circuit
the district belongs, refuses to hold any
Court there, and does not even condescend
to state when he will hold one. The Attor-
ney General iustfies the Chef-Justicc for
this neglect and refusal to perform the Of
flcial duties assigned him, by saying that
though active hostilitics have ceased, a
state Of ,cdr stH erists in The territory in re-
6eliioH.'
This announcement will be news to the
people of the United States. If it be true,
they have been grossly deceived, and their
good sense shamefIlly outraged. not only
by Presidential proclamations and the
newspapers, but above all by the thanks
giving rhetoric that has been employed
since April last in rejoicing over the re-
turn of peace. If the position of the At
torney General is correct the surrender of
LRE and JOHNSON, the restoration of the
national flag and the re-establishment OF
State governments all over the South
amount to nothing at all. The whole thing
has been stupid and contemplate farce,
intended solely to deceive and mslead the
people. But we don't believe the popular
verdict will sustain Mr.. Attorney General
SPEED.
The conduct of Chief-Justice Chase is
without excuse and will surprise every
right thinking man. Referring to It. the
Philadelphia Age well says that,
1T deserves the gravest reprehension, and
is good ground for the impeachment of that
officer. 1t is his business, for which he is
paid, to hold courts in his circuit unless he
is prevented from so doing by the actual
presence there of force which is directed to
the prevention of jnsticc and which he is
without power to resist. Every body
knows that there Is no such impcdiment nor
indeed any obstacle of any kind to his hold
ing court in any portion of his circuit.
General Grant can travel unattended from
one end of the south to the other. so can
anybody else that feels disposed to do so.
Mr' 'nasc VIII nhruiy clnlin tilat ms impor-
tance will put him in bodily danger in a
country whore the leader of the Northern
armies can come and go with impunity.
If he needs force to assist him in opening
and holding court, he can have as much as
he wants placed at his disposal. If he Is
suffering from personal fear OF assassina-
ton, he had better resign and make place
for some jurist of less imagination and
greater pluck. who will be more ashamed
of the delay of justice than afraid OF u
Missionary bullet"

Ben. Wade--scnsational Incident.

On Wednesday evening last, at Washing

Mr.. Wade to sign paper of recommends

to procure thesignature of some person to
whom he was known. After listening to
the reply, the strange visitor, whose physi-

malicious and brutal. hooked at the Senator
with significant scowl, which the latter
plainly Interpreted as meaning Iaischief
At this juncture of the Interview Mr..
Wade rose, and stepping into an adjoining
room, armed himself with a loaded pistol
and quietly returned again to the room

Remarkable Longevity.

A few days since we called upon and
had very interesting interview with Mrs.
JONATHAN BRoCKwAY, who has been vis-
iIing her son Mr.. Jesse =. Brockway in
this village. This venerable lady is now
in the 9th year of her age, and retains
her faculties of both. mind and body TO
most remarkable degree. The immediate
cause of her being here at this time was
the recent death of her son, Mr.. Zebah
Brockway, at Rockingham Centre, having
rode over from her home in Washington,
N. H., to attend his funeral, which was
attended 10y his mother and his wifes
mother who is 81 years of age. certainly
an unusual occurrence. Mrs. Brockways
maiden name was Mary Proctor and she
was born in Chelmsford, Mass, Apr. 7,1770.
She removed to Washington, n. Ii. in the
fall of l776, and at the age of nineteen
years married jonathan Brockway, and
has lived on the old homestead ever since,
and being ninety-one years in that town.
She remembers to a minutin events which
occurred during the war of the Revolu-
ton, as well as those of later date, re
lating with glee the incidents of those
times and discussing with intelligence the
issues of the struggle since 1860 Among
the former, she related to us, with lively
twinking of the eye, an anecdote of
Washington, who on one occasion during
the revolution, was travelling and passed
some men WIN hailed him as TO what mil
itary movement was about to take place,
when he said Can you keep a secret ?"
go yes" they replied. $50 can L. said
Washington, and Immediately went on his
way. She also told us the story of one
whom she knew, who in those days affect
ed much patriotism and was going to the
war, but on arriving at church which
had been struck by British cannon ball,
was Immediately taken sick and returned
home This last she related in a decided
vein of ridicule and sarcasm.
She is never idle even at her advanced
age, and only week before last knit pair
of socks Tor her son, in five days, during
her visit there. She has never depended
upon the factories of more modern days
fos her linen, having years ago spun and
wove enough to last her life time.
During the late great civil war she read
daily newspaper with deep and patriotic
Interest besides doing much work for the
soldiers. She is the mother of ten chill
dren. one of whom is Mr. jesse P. Brock
way of this village, and two others, Ray
mond and the late Zebah Brockway Of this
town. She evidently belo3gs to family
remarkable for longevity, her mother be-
fore her having reached the age of ninety
six years and her father ninety-eight.
She has thus become almost centenari-
an, and is beheld with deep interest by all
who meet her.
She went to her home in the beautiful
weather of Monday last, where we hope
her life may yet be heightened many hap
Ply days.
