rnIALOT lErF. DAVIS.

TRIAL bF JEFF, DAVIS.
f. ID. Mansfield, in the Cincinnati
Gazette, las long and able article
on the subject of the trial of JEFF
Davis, from which we make some ex
tracts:
The President has addressed a
note to the Attorney General in.
quiring why Mr.. Davis is not tried,
aud the \ ,toney replies with a
statement ol law and fact which is
probably the finest example of legal
nonsense on record. The nonsense,
however, is not the Attorneys non
sense, but that of President, Con
gress and Court. The three cOnsti.
tuti-nal functlonaries of the Govern.
ment seem TO have united in this, il
in nothing else. The Attorney say >
that the Courts of Virginia were to
meet in April and October, but last
Spring Congress changed the time to
May and November, too late for the
opiing term. Soon after that, Con
gress charged tic circuit, and the
Court has great doubts whether u
trial can be had without new aIloL-
nent OF Judges. In the meantime
the President deciars peace, aud iii.
reefs that the body OF Davis shall be
delivered to the Marshal, on q cqpias.
il SO demanded. But Mr.. Under.
wood, District Attorney, makes NO
demand; because, lie says, Davis must
then go into 4 common jail, wheIe he
will not be sale, or rs healthy, or 40
comfortable! The attorney tor Davis
makes no motion, because he also
thinks Davis won't be Us comlorta
bic! Now, this is u solemn farce,
ana satire ON the criminal admin
lstration ot this country. Let US see
1--WE cannot d!sentauglc THIS web oi
nonsense, and put the matter in the
light oi common sense.
Mr. Mansfield claims that a. Dir.

pirates are tIicd; shat had he been
So tried in June, lS65, it would have
been approved oi by tho people; and
that on johnson rests the first fault
OF taking, no steps for the trial OF
Davis. (2.) That Davis committed
treason in Ohio, Indiana and Mary
land, as he did in Virginia, IS the
rebel armies that invaded those
States were rs much under his com.
mand rs were those Of the North
under the command Of Lincoln; that
criminal Law makes these acts the
acts OF Davis and that there is rs
much right 10 iry him in Ohio US in
Virginia; and that il there was any
thing in the statute law to prevent
this, Congress should have repealed
II and had Davis tried Is That
there is no doubt OF the facts, OF the
legal, moral or political power to
try and punish JEFF. Davis; that the
Constitution clearly states how man
shall be tried for treason and shows
on " hat he shall be convicted; that a
traitor can be tried wherever the
Government chooses.

VISIT TO A CONDEMNED FEMALE PoIsoNER.
Mrs Grinder, the Ptsburg Borgia, recently
condemned TO be executed was recently visited
in her cell by correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, who says:
AS the sheriff entered her cell, the women
who were with her looked on is,lessly. Mrs.
Grinder threw her arms around the neck of the
sheriff and sobbed, oh so bitterly, it would have
melted heart of marble to lave heard the
means from the very depths of misery and de-
spair. She seized the hand of the sheriff and
Rugged it to her bosom. That official spoke
very kindly TO her. and bid her keep up good
heart, and not give way TO her feelings so
much. She was too full of misery and woe to
reply, and left her, full of pity that a woman
of SO much feeling as she seemed to possess
could have been guilty Of the horrible crimes
laid to her charge.
You have already had a description of her
personnel, and will not make repetition fur
Their than to say that she has rather an intel-
gent cast of countenance and is not Unlocking.
learned from reliable source that one day
this week she made hn almost successful at
tempt at her own life by poisoning. The resi-
dent physician of the Jail has ordered her a
dose of morphine daily. Instead of taking the
medicine as prescribed, she secreted it about
her person until she had a number Of doses,
and then swallowed them all at the same time.
She was seized with violent commissions. The
doctor was sent for and attempted to admins
ter an emetic, but she obstinately refused to
take it.
Warden White, of the prison, who has won
her affection, as well as that of most of the
prisoners, finally succeeded in inducing her to
take the emetic. He told her tina, he was respon-
sible for her life if she died that ii was his
duty to see that nothing was allowed in her
possession that could in any way iniure her,
ana That he would be subjected to much trouble
u she died from the effects of the morphine.
one SAID that il that were so she would take
Tue emelic' but she would not do so for any
one else lving She took the emetic, and her
lie was saved few days previous TO this
occurrence, woman who came to see her
brought with her some candy. 1t was not al.
lowed to be given to Mrs. Grinder and, upon
critical examination II was found 10 contain
poison. The strictest care is observed in her
room-eveno of newspapers-,hat nothing which
could cause death be allowed her. Mrs. Grind
er's husband visits her almost daily, but there
is very little expression of feeling exhibited in
their interviews. She is attended by Method.
list clergyman of this city, whose name cannot
now recall. She is not professor of religion
but preferred Methodist minister. During
all his interviews with her, she has exhibited
remarkable fortitude and courage under The
circumstances.

MY PHILOSOPHY.

Bright things can never die,
Fen though they fadei
Beauty and minstrelsy
Deathless were made.
What though the summer day
Passes at eve awayY
Doth not the moons soft ray
Soace the night?
Bright things can never die,
Saith my philosophy;
Phebus, while passing by,
Leaves us the light.
Kind words can never die,
Cherished and best;
God knows how deep they lie
Stored in the breast
Like childhood's simple rhymes
Said DER thousand times,
Ay, in NIL years and times,
Distant and near.
Kind words can never die,
Saith my philosophy;
Deep in the soul they lie,
God knows how dear!
Childhood can never die;
Wrecks of the past
Float DER the memory
Fen to the last.
Many happy thing,
Many dalsied spring,
Float, on Times ceaseless wing,
Far, far away.
Childhood can never die,
Saith my philosophy;
Wrecks Of our infancy
Live on for aye.
Sweet fancies never die;
They leave behind
Some fairy legacy
Stored in the mind
Some happy thought or dream,
Pure as days earliest beam
Kissing the gentle stream
In tue lone glade.
Yea, though these things pass by,
Saith my philosophy,
Bright things can never die,
Fen though they fade.
