ATTORNEY GENERAL SPEED, in relation to
the case OF Jefferson Davis, writes to the Pres
ident, Jan 4, letter from which the following
is an extract:
II have thought it not proper to advise you
te cause criminal proceedings to be instituted
against efferson Davis or any other lnsurgelt
in States Or districts in which they were not ac-
tually present during The prosecution Ct hostll,
tiles. Some prominent rebels we're personally
present at the invasions Of Maryland and Penn
sylvania; but all, or nearly al Of them, re-
ceived military paroles upon the surrender ofthe
rebel armies. WhllstI think that those paroles
are not ultimate protection from prosecution for
high treason, | have thought it would be a
violation Of the powers to prosecute those per-
sons for crimes before the political power Of the
Government has proclaimed that the rebellion
has been suppressed It follows from what 7
have saidsthat am Of the opinion that Jeff3r-
son Davis and other of the insurgents ought to
be tried in some one Of the States or d. trcs IN
which they in person especially controlled the
crimes upon which they may be charged
Though active hostilities and Gag rant war have
not for Some time existed between the United
States and Insurgents, peaceful relations be-
tween the Government and the peop'e IN the
States and districts in rebellion have net yet been
fully restored. None OF the Justices OF the So
preme Court have held circuit courts in these
States and districts since actual hostities
ceased
When the courts are open ana the Jaws can
be peacefully administered and enforced il those
States whose people rebel!ed against the Gov
ernmenF-when this peace shall have come IN
fact and in law-the persons now held in mill
tary custody, as prisoners OF war, and who may
not have been tried and convicted for offences
against the laws Of war, should be transferred
into the custody ct the civil authorities OF the
proper districts to be tried for such high crimes
and misdemeanors as may be alleged against
them.
I think that it is the plain duty Of the Presi-
dent to cause criminal prosecutions to be instl
tuted before the proper tribunals, and at the
proper times against some Of those who were
mainly instrumental in inAugarating and most
conspicuous in conducting the late hostilities,
[ should regard it as direful calamity if many,
whom the sword has spared, the law should
spare also; bat / would deem it a more direful
calamity stiif the Executive, il performing
his constitutional duty Of bringing those par
ties before the bar of justice to answer for their
crimes, should violate the plain meaning of the
Constitution, or intringe in the least particular
the living spirit of that instrument / have
the honor to be, most respectfully,

Doctors were living long before old Galen,
And since, exceeding learned, grave and sage ;
But the stomachics they were bound to fall in;
Success came not until this later age
Now is the era sick folks are made hale in,
And dread dyspepsia driven from the stage,
Agues, remittents, headaches-reol head-splittersi
Vanish like smoke before HOSTETTER'S BIT

Herbs, barks and roots compose the rare infusion;
No mineral poison mars their juices pure,
And Ryes mild essence holds them In solution;
The taste is pleasant, the effect is sure.

And they, like him, to save the weak are able!

TrvENEss, DIARRHEA-They are taken up by the
absorbents and carried into the circulation,
through which medium they are conveyed to every
part of the body.
If the pain affects the joints, single dose pro-
duces remarkable benefit. And the same rule ap-
plies to costlveness, diarrhea and dysentery
though with the last named they may be required
night and morning for some days before decided
relief is obtained. In affections of the lungs,
throat, head, and pleurisy the relief is certain
the excretory organs throw off with ease the
phegm, and the breathing becomes freer. Spas.
modic asthma is often cured by single dose.
