To VIM. j. Jones' Esq, District Attorney, BaltmnI
President J Johnson

The New York Commercial expresses the opinion
that, .'howe much President Johnson may differ
with the party which elevated him to power, it is
evident that he has intention of throwing himself
into the arms OF any Eation which has the
smell of disloyalty upon its garments The Com
mercial quotes from the World, which wants it
to be undstood that "Mr. johnson is not our Pres-
DENT Democrats praise and support him just equ-
ally shcu,d have praised and supported Mr..
Lincoln. We do not ask OF him anything except not
to desert himself. We do rot ask for offices we do
not want theu,.' Iseontinues:
The President being afraid to ;deas.y z.Hsss,f in
any way wisk tie Republican party (perhaps from
motives of delieacy which appreciase,l can lese
something but that party which needs particular
man can easily do without him. Clay left it, and
though few more able men have lived since Washing

continued to beat him often as he wooed the com
bat. We do not envy johnson his pretended friends

neunced as enemies eff tue Union. subverters of the
Constitution and provokers of civil war. We did net

though he ask it, viii affiliate with them: their

The News likewise changes its attitude toward the
President this morning, and says:

DURABLE FENCE PosT.-We have from
time to time published facts to prove that
posts put in the ground top end down,
will last longer then when placed the
other way. We now add another to the
list, Recently. We met William A Otis,
Esq, of this city, when he told us tha,
he had just been removing some post
and rail fence which he built twenty-four
years ago. The fence posts, set then
butt down, were nearly all rotted off in
ten years, WREN new ones were set, in
the same way. below the old ones, in the
middle of each pannel. and the old ones
allowed to remain. The posts set four
teen years ago were now all rotten but
some gate-posts set twenty years acci-
dentaiis with the top in the ground. and
perfectly sound their entire length. and
will probably last twenty four more, We
might state that the gate-pos.s we're cut
of at the forks of the trees. which made
the upper end largest, and hence the
largest ends were placed in the ground.

How the President Views the Matter,

4 Washington special in the Chicago

Several prominent gentleman claim
that the effect of the passage of the Civil
Rights bill over the veto has been TO
modify the Presidents antasonism TO
Congress. and they predict The speedy
adoption ~ Congress of a plan for The
restoration of the rebel States which
will be satisfactory to the loyol people.

As TO the Civil Rights Bill. .hey say the
President will not fail TO enforce ID, now
that II becomes 3 law 1t Is asserted
that the President, last evening. said
that he exercised his constitutional pre-
roeative in vetoing the bill. and tic Con-
gress had exercised its prerogative in
passing it. and he should feel bound by
their action.

Professor Doremus gave an exhibition
of a new application of electricity as a
motive power. The apparatus consists
of a series of twenty two electric mag
nets, turning in double rows the peri
phery of a cylinder BY a simple com
bination, the electric current is open and
broken, causing driving shaft TO re-

was instantly stopped and reversed

PEACHES There is still conside RI bic
uncertainty as tothe prospect of the peach
crop in this section. Some assert tina,
there will and some that there will no,
be a full crop raised. We examined
some trees few days ago that stood in
an exposed situation. Two twigs were
broken off, one of which had nine and
the other eight blossoms. and all bu
two were alive. 1t is said that many o.
the trees were killed by the cold, bu
that the buds of the living trees are no

approved of it. General Howard says !:

JEFF DAVIS tc be Tried.
w AsHINGToy. Abr

'AaS'AoS, ApHi -.
1t can be positively stated that the At
torney General is busily engaged in ar
ranging for the speedy trial of JEFF.
Davis He will be arraingned before
one of the Circuit Courts OF the United
States, upon the charge of high treason
The Attorney General holds that there
IL no such thing as constructors pressnees
IN the crime OF treason, and on this &C
count the trial will probably be either in
Tennessee or Virginia. VIM NJ Evarts
is the only gentleman whose name has
YET ttanspIred who is to assist the Attor-
ney General IN the prosecution, though
several other very eminent lawyers have
been retained by the Government, and
are now engaged upon the case Charles
y conner and James I. Brady, of New
ork, VIM. b. Reed, of PENNSYLVANIA,
and lawyer from Mississippi, are to
conduct the defense The intention of
the authorities is to secure speedy trial
not only for Davis, but for several other
noted rebels
A despatch from Washington to the
Boston Aduertiser says: preparations
are making to hold the regular term of
the United States Circuit Court in Rich
mond next month, and the trial of Jeffer-
son Davis for high treason may be ex-
peeted within two months
The President has caused TO be prepared = list of
five hundred persons to be tried for treason The list
has been ready for time. At the head OF ii
stands JEFFERSON DAVIS. Three months ago the
President reported To Congress all the circumstances;
from which it appeared that he had done all he could
do tn bring DAVIS and the other offenders trial
and Congress, we believe, has for time had be-
fore it bill designed TO facilitate the trial of DAVIS
but, with others, it is suheredto sleep. Under the
proclamation of the President, the time for holding
term OF the United States Court. Virginia, near
at hand, when it will be for the District Attorney and
the CouSt to determine the steps be taken. Here
tofore tile Chief Justice has declined try DAVIS
Virgins, and Congress having failed to make speciai
provisions for surmountng the objections of Judge
CHASE it is probable that the delay viii continue for
some time yet
The list Of five hundred, which tie President has
ready Is understood to be composed almost wholly of
civilians. and to embrace of the most distinguish
ed Southern names. The matter would seem to rest
with the Chief Justice and Congress, to whom the
President committed it several months ago.

We have received the following letter
from this distinguished gentleman, now,
and for some years past, United States

a lifelong aholitionist or emancipationist
of the most Jealous order, but we are
glad to see that years are distilling wis
