The Health of the Town.

Many time has it been said that
the dwellcrs in the Town ought to buy
the small body of forest growth lying
just to the west of it. " hat is every
body's business is no body's business,
and ifthe chill and fever were as in
different about taking hold Of the
denizens of this once notably healthy
town, as these are to take care of their
health, we need not write these lines.
Nor do we expect to do one particle of
good by writing them. There has
never yet been found u citizon with
gumpt'on enough to take the whole
matter in hand and by indomitable
perseverance, compel the community to
open their eyes to what is beneficial to
their hygiene. Here one and their
another and everywhere else some
other one is shaking with the chills,
and nearly (if not) every one believes,
who knows the facts of tho case, that
broad marsh only quarter of q mile
due west, whence blow night and day
in the summer and early fall the west
orn winds, is the principal cause of all
this chill and fever. And they be-
lieve further that clearing away the
original forest growth which inter
.venes is peculiarly disastrous to the
health of the town, and yet the clear.
ing goes on. There will soon be nc
trees to shake in that region, but we
opine there will be lots of bones il
this corporation to quiver to the
strokes of the chills.

treason, has been notified that tho prisoner\
would be surrendered TO the United States
Marshal upon % capias under Indictment,
but the District Attorney declines to have,
the capins issued because there is no other
place within the, District where the prisoner
could be kept, or where his personal com.
fort and health could be SO well provided
for. No application has been made within
my knowledge by thecounsel for Mr. Davis
for transfer Of the prisoner to civil ousto-
dy. Recently nm application was made by
his counsel for his transfer from Fortress
Monroe to Fort Lafayette, on the ground
chiefly of sanitary consideration. a. refer
ence was promptly made TO Board of Sur
geons, whose report was decidedly adverse
to the change, on the score of health and
personal comfort, t
am unable to,see what further action
can be taken, en- the part of The Executive,
TO bring the prisoner to trial. Mr. Davis
must, for the present, remain where he is
until the court which hos jurisdiction to try
him shall be ready to act. or until his ousto-
dy is demanded under lawful process Of the
federal courts.
The Attorney General suggests that, to
avoid any misunderstanding OF the subject,
an order be issued to the commandant of
Fortress Monroe, to surrender the prisoner
TO civil custody whenever demanded by the
United States Marshal upon process from
Tho federal courts.

The KNIGHTS OF ARABIA TO TAKE
CUBA.-The Hera1d'sMobile correspon-
dent claims to have ascertained the
object of the secret order of the Knights
of Arabia, of which captain Braine,
capturer of the Chesapeake, is the al
legged Grand Commander. He says: +:
am assured, however, by q high
officer of the K. A's that they contem-
plate the conquest Of some country
which needs to be Christianized and
CIVILIZED, and that they proposed do
ing it in such manner as not to en-
broil the United States in internation-
al difficulty. They declare emphati-
oally that the grand object has moth
ing to do with Mexico; that is entire
ly distinct from our national politics
and the rebellion, and numbers in its
encampments many ex-Northern SOL
diers and Union men. / presume it
will not be difficult for your readers
to place the destination Of the expedi-
tion. Cuba is unquestionably the
spot; but as Braine is under arrest and
the organization is not prospering, the
Captain-General need not be in a
hurry about packing his trunk and va
iises for flank movement from the
island.

DEATH OF A VALUED CITIzEN.-At
late hour last evening, we received
the painful announcement of the death
of DR.. r. w. Gibbes, Sr. He has
been ill for several months, and the
most painful apprehensions were en-.
tertained for him for some days past.
Its unnecessary to attempt to sketch
the life and career of DIR. Gibbes in
this brief paragraph, and we will take
occasion to do his memory justice in q
day or two The doctor was born in
Charleston on the 9Th of July, 1909,
and was, consequently, in his fifty

will be many tears shed this morning,
on reading this announcement. We
record his death as we would that Of

THE CASE OF MR.. DAVIS.

WASHINGTON, October 18-The President
has addressed the following letter TO the
Attorney General in regard 10 the trial OF
Mr.. Jefferson Davis: t"fh| '-sh +
ExEourrvE' MANSION, wAsH1yaroN, b
October 9, 1866
Sir: Aspeciaf term of the Circuit, Codrt
of the United States was appointed for the
first Tuesday of Octpber, 1866, at Rich
mond, Virginia, for the trial of Jefferson
Davis, on the charge Of treason. IL now
appears that there will be no session Of that
Court at Richmond during the present
month, and doubts are expressed whether
the regular term, which by law should COM
mence on the fourth Monday Of November
next, will be held. In view ofthis obstruc-
tion, and the consequent delay in proceed
ing with the trial Of Jefferson Davis under
the prosecution for treason now pending
in that Court and there being so far as the
President is informed, no good reason why
the civil courts of the United States are not
competent to exercise adequate jurisdiction
within the district or circuit in which the
state fVirginia is included, ] deem il pro-
per to request your opinion do to what fur
ther steps, if any, should be taken by the
Executive, with view to q speedy, public
andimpartial trial Of the accused according
10 the Constitution and laws of the United
States.
lam, Sir, very respectfully, yours, &C.,
ANDREW JOHNSON
Hon. HENRY STANsBURY, Attorney Gen.
In response to the above, the Attorney
General, under date Of the 18th instant,
says:
81 am clearly Of opinion that there is
nothing in the present condition of Virginia
to prevent full exercise of the jurisdiction
of OWL courts. Tho actual state Of things,
and your several proolamations of peace and
of the restoration Of civil order, guarantees
to the civil authorities, Federal and State,
immunity against military control or intera
ference. II seems TO me that, in this par.
tioular, there is no necessity for further
action on the part OF the Executive, in the
way proclamation, especially as Congress,
at the late session, required the Circuit
Court Of the United States 20 be held at
Richmond the first Monday of May and tho
fourth Monday of November in each year.

Beauregard and Grant.
A MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO GENE

A MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO GENE
a correspondent of the Louisville
Democrat, writing from New York, un-
der date of the 30th ult., says !.
General Bcauregard is in town.
He is stopping at the New York Ho-
tel, which is, as it has been for years
past, the great Southern rendezvous in
Gotham. The General came. a pas
sengcr from Europe in the Vile d.
Paris, which arrived yesterday from
Brest. He is in excellent health and
fine spirits, as well he may be, seeing
that his mission to London and Paris,
in connection with his Louisiana and
Mississippi railroad enterprise, was
success far beyond his most sanguine
anticipations. He not only received
all the credit he asked for but was
pressed to accept double or treble the
amount. BY this time, at least one
ship frcighted with railroad iron is on
the way from Liverpool to New Or
leans, and others will quickly follow.
"Gcncral Bcaurcgard is not much
of talking man, but he speaks in
glowing terms of tho kindness and
hospitality which everywhere greeted
him among tho great merchants and
money kings of England and France.
Thus encouraged he returns to his own
country determined to do all in his
power to resuscitate the industrial in
terests of his native State, prostrated
by the relentless hand of war, and in
this we can bid him, with clear con-
science, the fullest measure of success.
He goes to Now Orleans In the steam
or of to-day. Yesterday he took H a
drive out to Central Park, and it is
noted, as curious incident, that
while he was dashing along in one di-
rection, General Grant (who is also in
town. was. dashing along in another.
lit is supertluous to add that the cour-
tesics which gentlemen usually cx-
change Under these circumstances
were scrupulously observed. This is
as it should be. tagG U sn .rui
In grasping hands, ON this occasion,
these two great soldiers felt that if
| ohSJ WIZ III war, UlCy
be in peace friends. No two living
men have better reason to respect
each other and to experience in all
its fulness what the poet calls
THAT stern Joy which warriors feel
In foemcn worthy Of their steel
"Now, why cannot the noisy blath-
erskites who are bent on keeping up
the old feud between the two sections
initiate the noble example thus set
them by these two great representa-
tive men of the North and the South ?
IF the men who did all the hard hand
to-hand fighting during the war can
thus shake hands and, forgetting the
past, meet upon terms of perfect
equality, surely the'fcllows who staid
az home to dodge the draft and grow
rich from shoddy contracts can have
no reason to hold back"
