WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH JEFF. DAVIS AND
THE OTHER REBEL PRBoSERs The commune
cations transmitted to Congress in answer to q
resolution Of that body, with regard to JEFF.
Davis and the other prominent rebel prisoners,
give us clear idea of the case of these mea
and the situation Of the government with re-
ference to it. The Secretary Of War holds them
as prisoners captured in war, and awaits the
action Of the proper authorities Of the United
States before lie transfers them TO the civil
power or releases them, us the case may be.
That is all he has TO do in the matter. Attor-
ney General Speed states the charges upon
which they are held and the object in holding
them. He thinks they ought to be tried, but
sees difficulties In the way, and he seems TO
hold the opinion that II would be better TO let
hem 10 than TO "violate the plain meaning Of
the constitution or infringe in the least par
ticular the living spirit Of that instrument
Chei Justice Chase refuses to try them, be-
cause be cannot or win not hold a court within
The limits OF The rebel States, where only they
can be tried. The President has performed his
duty in The case, and now leaves it with
Congress. II il complicated case for
that body 10 net upon. Constitutionaly
these prisoners cannot be tried by laws
made after the offence WAS committed. Ac-
cording to that instrument they ought to be
tried under the laws and forms existing. Yet
we see what difficulties are In the way.
Suppose the Southern States were fully re-
stored, all the United States courts were per-
forming their functions again, and these men
were brought up for trial, is ii certain they
would be convicted! IL il not as likely they
would be acquitted Would IL not be better,
then, not 10 try them at all than TO fail in
conviction The effect Of such decision
would be very DISASTROUS and the government
ought TO hesitate before taking the risk.
For these and other reasons we agree with
General Cox. of Ohio, that II would be better
to let these rebels GO. Mercy is an attribute
nations may use with good eject as well rs in
dividuals. Magnanimity will do more to re-
store the country and hold IL together in the
bonds OF amity than vengeance. These men
have no disposition, probably, to be trouble
some hereafter, and II they should have they
are utterly powerlsss TO do harm. Let Con-
grcss, then, relieve itself, The President and
the Judiciary At once OF this embarrassing
question. Ills lct to that body, which must
take some action one way or the other. Tho
shortest and wiscst course Is that advocated
by Mr.. Cox-to let them 70.

The CRY FINANCIAL BuDGET.-The financial
budget for the ensuing fiscal year has been
issued. From this it appears that our citizens
are to be taxed for the support Of the city gov
eminent and the payment Of the interest on
and redemption of the city debt about
eight millions of dollars. The whole csti-
mated expenditures for the year amount 10
ten millions; but there are some two millions
revenue from various sources We need not
now stop 70 inquire why the revenue OF this
great city is 80 meagre when n has such vast
resources, nor why among the items Of expendi-
ture we see the sum Of fifty thousand dollars
set down for advertising, the most OF which
goes to the support Of partisan and private
presses We need not In fact, 90 into any par
ticulars 10 show the extravaganza and waste in
the public expenditures, for the subject Il now
thresdbare, and every taxpayer knows 1t BY
heart. But we do care about one thing, and that
the Legislature at Albany can attend to. We
want board Of commissioners appointed By
the Legislature, who shall exercise super
visory and surveillng power over oil our nv
ncipal affairs. We want this board to be COM
posed Of high-mlnded, honorable and respon-
sible citizens, in whose integrity the people
have implicit reliance. There will be no ne
cessity for disturbing those in Office who do
their duty. Brennan makes very good Comp
troller Let him alone Cornell fills the Office
Of Street Inspector acceptably. Let him alone.
Tweed dances with infinite grace among ell
sorts Of city affairs, from q Supervisor down

Of these, or oil OF them, shonld become
