THE DIPFsHEscE.-The Selma, (Ala.)
Times, seems to be proud Of the fact, tina,
Generals Lee, Hood and Breckenridge--and
he might have added Mrs. Stonewall jackson
have firmly declined every proffer Of pc
cuniary aid from their friends and admirers,
whilst Generals Grant and Sherman have
thankfully received all that have been Offer
ed. But whilst the Times points out the
difference, It can see no improperly in the
conduct of the. hist named officers. Neither
can we. The difference between them is a
point Of honor which is the result of educa-
ton and habit, and having no reference to
the intrinsic merits of the act. The peculiar
social condition of the South has tended to
engender restlessness under pecuniary OBJ
legations, in the shape of gifts, and this
sensitiveness has been exaggerated into a
feeling almost of degradation under such
obligations, even when circumstances fully
authorize their acceptance. This spirit Of
independen is certainly commendable, and
we can admire it in such men ms Lee, with
out condemning IL in such men as Grant.

JEFF DAVIS THE STATE PRISONER,

The New York Herald, commenting upon
the protracted and cruel imprisonment Of
JEFF Davis without a trial or any prepara-
ton for one, says that the President is blam-
ed for allowing him to be kept there; but it
is not the Presidents fault. The fault lies
with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
who declines to try Davis for high treason,
because he is at q loss where 10 try him so
rs to secure his conviction. He will not try
him in Virginia. because he doubts whether
jury can be empannelled who can be made
to believe that the accused is or was traitor
He will not try him in loyal State like
Pennsylvania, where overt acts of rebellion
were committed by the connivance of Davis,
because he is afraid that being so far remov-
ed from tho actual theater Of the rebellion,
a jury may be moved TO clemency. Con-
gress fails to provide solution for this d.
lemma, and in the meantime the prisoner
Justice or Congress- lies the responsibility OF
obtaining decision in the case Of Davis
That he is entitled to trial is acknowledged
on all hands, even by the most radical. That
he must he eternally imprisoned-in other
words, made to wear perpetually an iron
mask, according to the fashion Of feudal
times, without trial, is a stigma upon our
republican institutions. Let JEFF Davis be
tried somewhere-in the District Of Column
bia, in the Capitol. if the Chief Justice cannot
find more convenient or suitable placer
let him be liberated under proclamation Of
general amnesty.

A QUEREY.-The Constitution declares
that representation and direct taxation shall
be apportioned among the States according
to their respective population. Since repre-
sentation lie denied to the Southern States,
can they be lawfully taxed? The question
is fair one, and we would like to see
it answered by the Supreme Court of the
United States. So long as the right Of re-
presentation is withheld, taxation should be
suspended; and decree to that effect would
do more for restoration than anything else.

THE SUPREME CouRr.-A dispatch, from

says that the Supreme Court will not decide

Five of the Judges oppose, and four endorse
it, but one of the five joined the four in IA
vor of postponement of the decision upon
the ground of prudence. This high court
seems to have caught the moral and political
infection which is destroying the vitality Of
private and public virtue in the North.
