THE TRIAL OF Mr.. DAv1s-UNDERwoo GOD
AND CAANDLER--UN1rED STATES DISTRICT
COURTS special from Washington to the
Philadelphia Ledger of Thursday says:
United States District Attorney Chandler.
of Norfolk, had lengthy consultation to day
with jeff Davis. Nothing definite was
agreed upon, and Mr. Chandler is preparing
letter to Mr.: Stsnbery, urging the impor-
TANGO of bringing Davis to an early trial. and
asking the cooperation of the Government
to secure that end Mr. Chandler and Judge
Underwood also had al interview with Judge
Chase to-day on thatFabject. Nothing can
be definitely stated except that the trial of
Mr.. Davis will come off, unless he shall be
discharged or paroled by the Executive. 1t
may come on at the next regular term This
will not be in October, to which time the
case was adjourned, the district judge and at
torney finding that the passage Of the act of
Congress recognizing the judicial districts,
subsequent to that adjournment, fixes the !e-
gal term in November, and that the holding
of court in October would therefore be IL
legal There is no doubt that the position
of the Chief Justice with regard to the trial
is unchanged. 1t may not be generally
Known that able lawyers, in view of the fact
that the new law neither assigns the judges
to the different districts nor gives them pow
e1 to assign themselves, have serious doubts
whether any district courts can legally be
held until Congress takes further action on
the subject.

Brownlow vas among the first to raise the
cry Of another war and, in terms as execra-
bic as ever emanated from his denoniac
brain, to call for the determination Of the
Southern people. Forney, the Dead Duck, y
takes up the cry, and says that the next ar.
my that marches South ''will go there to
etay," not only to revenge but to extir-
pate" Brownlow and Forney both know
that the Southern people are as brave rs any
people under the sun, and have acted as hon
orably in defeat as they were daring in the
contest; that they have done all that has
been asked Of them to show that they have
accepted the result of the late war and in
tend to abide by it in good faith. Yet these
Hends in human shape, for the purpose of
keeping alive sectional hostility, for u rea-
son which can not be concealed, and to
arouse again the passions of the North against
the South, speak Of the threatened contest as
" between the South and North That man
must be singular indeed that does not fear
collision, under certain circumstances, but
not +" between the South and the North. -
We are but silent spectators of the passing
events in this country, with no voice in its
afaira, calmly awaiting the time when rea-
son and justice shall accord us rights and
privileges now unjustly denied, with no pow.
er to enforce them, much less to wage an
other var against the unchanged North
Without the desire even to engage in anoth-
er struggle we are charged with it and are
threatened in consequence with bloody ex-
termination. The collision, if it comes, must
be between the men of the North who are
striving to restore the Constitution and the
Union in good faith and those fanatics, who,
to glut vengeance still unsatiated, would
override the Constitution, and destroy forever
all hopes of a Union by again saturating
the land with blood.
We have great faith in the men Of the
North who have, through the trials Of the past,
continued to cry aloud for the preservation
OF the Constitution intact and who, together
with those men who were carried away by
the excitement Of war and forgot for time
the existence of that instrument. are now
banding together with Andrew johnson to
preserve it and the Union, and believe if.
proper cxertions are made by theEsr IN the
Middle and Western States the fell fend of
war will be turned from our shores. How
ever, if faaaticism receives the sanction Of
these States in the forthcoming elections the
collision is likely, but between Conservatism
snd Kadlcallsm and not between any two sec
tons Of the country We Of the South have
no desire even to see conflict Of arms be-
tween the Conservatives and the Radicals
and certainly not to bring about one between
ourselves and any other section. But silent
IN our sorrows and unrepresented in our IN
tcrests We can afford to smile at such mali
eious efforts as Forney and Brownlow are
making to excite Northern passions against
US, and need fear but little from such blatant
blusterers, knowing well that, if left with
them, and those Of their ilk, they will never
attempt to put into execution their extcruli-
aas;on programme.

Elk Gov Hamilton of Texas, one Of the
itinerant Southern Loyalists' (?) now wan
lering through the North and West speak
ing in the interest of Radicalism, has openly
divulged the Radical programme In a
speech at Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 21st he
declared that the President must and will be
|impeached, and clearly foreshadowed the in
tention of the Radicals to marguerite Sec
ond civil war He says:
"What then Z" I am asked I can tell
you part Of it. The President who holds
that this is not the Congress of the United
States, but only fraction Of it, will refuse
10 accept service Of the writ Of impeachment;
the Senate will declare that Andrew John
son being impeached, can no longer exer-
else the functions of the Office Of the Presi-
dent of the United States until he shall have
been tried and acquitted. Under the Con-
sttution the presiding officer of the Senate
will become the acting President of the Uni
tied States. and all officers of the Govern
mcnt civil, military and naval will be called
upon, and it will be their duty to give car
and heed to him, and to obey his orders
then Why, then, if Andrew johnson
should call upon his friends to adhere to him
it will be a question Of this great people to
determine whether they will sustain their
Constitution, their laws and their Govern
ment, OR whether they will be supple tools in
the hands of a tyrant and usurper. And
if any military commander, no matter if he be
the highest in position and reputation, shall
respond to Johnson's call and suffer himself
to be used by him, he will find that he will
then have to encounter the whole power Of
the people Of this great West, and he will be
unmade even more speedily than he has been
made"
