The Trial of JEFF. Davis.

from ute Times.
&We learn from the National HteRigencer that
Judge Underwood and the Chief Justice have
come to the conclusion that because of the leafs
lGtiOn of The last Congress the adjourned Court
cannot be held next month"; consequently the
case Of Mr.. DaoiS, with all others, must be post
poned to future day." The manner in which
this case of Davis is treated by high officials Is
becoming scandal to the nation. It seems to
be a mere football, TO be kicked about between
the President, Congress, and Chief Justice
Chase, each making it in turn the ground of
some new reproach against the others.
The President in his message last December
represented it as very desirable that Davis
should be tried, but stated that the Chief JUS
tice was unwilling to hold a court for that pur-
pose in Virginia, where alone trial can be had,
so long as q state of war still existed, and while
the military law was consequently paramount.
In April a proclamation OF peace was issued,
which seemed to remove this Obecton-still,
no trial was had. The court was held, however,
by Judge Underwood, VINO delivered charge in
regard to this case, and then, for some unkno Wn
reason, the trial was put over until the next
term, which was to be in October. And now we
are told that, in Consequence of the legislation
ot the last Congress- the court cannot be held,
ana the trial must again go over. What legisla
ION we should like to know has brought about
Governor Boutwell,, in a recent speech in Mas
sacnuseus, SAID that Davis could not be tried by
clVll tribunal because he IS not in civil
custody, put Is held under military law. He
Is % not unuer arrest Tor treason, which is civil
otense, but on charge of completely in the as
sassination of President Lincoln. under the pr1
clamatlon of President johnson III this is so
1t may shift the responsibility for his eytraordl
nary detention without trial, but II does no
change the fact nor render it whit more JUS

the best lawyers of the West. 1t is conceded by
MS opponents that he Will win eas sily over his
opponent, Mr.. Granger, q recreant Republican,

Loneyear. The contest in Michigan is measure
bly, between radicals and conservatives though

OF candidates OF doubtful and notorious record
unpopular with the soldiers. The radicals have
at present showing the advantage of popularity

Governor Crapo's watchful industry as an

tendency to recognize the claims and popularity
OF soldiers. General May, the radical candidate
for LieutenantGoVernOT, entered the war in
1861 as Captain, and fought till made BrisadIer

Trade now heavily against US. Speculate as you may
about Protection and Free Trade Specie and Paper

for great nation like ours, in time OF profound
peace and general thrift, to be buying goods by the

Currency Contraction and Tariff Enhancement. When
the passage Of the House Tariff seemed possible,
the premium on gold tended downward since that
bill was postponed by the Senate that premium tends

Gentlemen in Congress we pray you not to adj

flow of Government bonds bearing six per cent inter-

below their nominal value We wish you would both
contract the Currency and increase the Tariff We
pray you not to leave Washington without doing one
or the other And IL any measure which may seem
partial, inadequate, merely palliative, should be
presented, We entreat every champion Of National
sovency and Home Industry to give it a hearty sup.

thing that tends TO diminish, If but by fraction the
inundation of our country with Foreign Goods and
Foreign Debt.

THE CABINET.

The Cabinet crisis continues, and the members who
do not agree with the Presidential policy are resign
ing. Mr. Speed retired on Saturday, and took the
occasion to roundly censure the Presidents policy
in reference to the Convention at Philadelphia and
the general manner of the reconstruction" OF the
South. Mr. Speeds letter is said TO be quite inter-
estng and emphatic, and we are anxious to see 1t in
print.
Mr. Harlan has not yet formally resigned, but it is
known that his place at the disposal of the Preside Mt
and that he will 90 at any time.
Mr.. Stanton has given no indication Of his inten-
tons, but il is presumed that be will go with the
crowd.
Gov. Randall Of Wisconsin has been nominated for
PostmasterG General.
Mr. stansberry of Ohio, it is rumored, will succeed
Mr. Speed aud Gov sharkey Of Mississippi will prob
ably De Mr. lIarlan's successor.
These are among the many rumors that we find
floating upon the wind and We give them for what
they are worth.

embark in the business who have hitherto stood aloo
from il.
Is there any puzzle in this Does any man doubt
that newspapers (or nstance,) are sold cheaper III
New.York--quality and outlay considered-than they
would or could be if British journals received by each
steamer might rival and supplant American journals
exactly as British Iron or Calico, Hardware or
Linens, rival and supplant those of American origin
We firmly believe that American journals are at least
twenty-five per cent. cheaper than they could he pro-
duced in the face Of just such foreign competition as
American Iron aud Cloth are compelled to endure
We happened to pass two or three days, some ten
or twelve years ago. in Iowa City, then the capital oil
the State whereof Mr.. Grimes Off we mistake not)
was Governor. From morning till night farmers
from the surrounding country were coming in Win
great wagons piled high with Indian Corn, which they
were trying to sell for fifteen cents per bushel pay
able in the vest shinpasters that ever dllused Gu
taneous disorders. Some of them found customers IN
the course of the day; Others we believe, had to take
their grain home again. Yet Iowa City, beside being
a State capital was then in unbroken railroad COM
munication with the Atlantic, and was but GO miles
from Mr. Cahoun's Finland sea" the Mississippi.
Now does any man live who believes that those
farmers would not have been greatly benefited by the
transfer to their State of Pittsburg, of Lowell and
Newark, even with Tariff of 100 per cent. on every
metal or fabric brought into the country Who
doubts that they would not only have obtained more
money, but more Iron Hardware and Cloth for their
crops, after such transfer than they did beiore Or
TO put the same truth in another lighD who doubts
that the soil of Iowa would have been worth moro per
acre after such transfer than before it
OF course, we understand that our view OF this
matter is pronounced narrow, antiquated, selfish,
short-sighted, &C., &c, by those who consider the
denzens of the Five Points and the Georgia "crack-
ers far more enlightened with regard to Political
Economy than the farmers of Vermont and OF West
ern York; but Of all the painful surprises OF the
last quarter Of century, few have equaled that OF
finding ourselves widely at variance on this subject
with such men as Messrs. Grimes and Kasson OF Iowa.

Mr.. Nblack of Indiana has reported to the House a
bill which raises the pay Of Members of Congress ana
reduces the present outrageous mileage. We sincerely
but doubtfully hope it may be defeated We readily
admit that the present compensation OF Members ID
moderate but it is entirely their own fault Had they
taken steps last December TO secure an carry He-
sumption of Specie Payments, their pay woIiid nave
been just about fifty per cent more than II Is; 'ney
chose to leave the Currency debssed and tney nave
no right to additional payment. Let us get pach 70
National solvency before increasing any Saaries II VIC
do Mt their augmenton will prove an obstacle TO he
sumption.
But the most scandslous feature of Mr.. Nibecks
schme is ths-,ohiie Increases The pay Of the Members
of THIS Congress, its reduction Of Mileage only akes
feet on the NEXT Congress We beg some honest
Member to call the Yeas and Nays on this feature
especially, and let see how many will put them
selves On record as its justihers.

PEACE IN EUROPK-PERuAPs.

Scarcely has the grea. war in Europe begun in
earnest before we hear Of direct overtures Of peace
1t is no secret that the Emperor of the
French has only been waiting the ripe mo-
ment to intervene but the sudden submission of
Austria to the terms oreshadowed in the late letter
Of Napoleon to NJ. Drouyn l. Hugs, and read to the
French legislative corps anticipates even the forward
attitude Of France and will take the world by sur
prise. battle, exceeding in its losses and impor-
lance any that has yet taken place, was fought be-
tween the Astrians and Prussia, at Sudowa, in
Bohemia, the Sd of July. No details of
this conflict have been received but enough is known
TO make it plain that final and decisive disaster has
beiallen the Austrians and browning victory
gained by the armies Of Prussia. That 1900
Austrians have been taken prisoners is the
brief epitome of all that we know
Of the fight; but it is ample hint that the army
of the Kaiser, Francis Joseph and Marshal Benedek
have sustained an unexpected and crushing blow.
Our dispatches state that this defeat has at once
resolved the Austrian Emperor's acceptance OF the
mediation of Napoleon, the principal terms
of which have been fixed for months,
and are bargain ready made Austria, claiming to
have INDICATED her honor by the victory at CuStozza,
offers to surrender her rights to venea in exchange
for the paciication Of Germany, and her salvation
from further loss and failure
What this diplomacy means is clearly apparent. To
place Veneta at the disposal Of the Emperor is to
take the first step toward its restoration to Italy.
Venetia ceded to Napoleon is gained for Italy; and
thus the work which was before the Italiansbefore
the regular army, led by their gallant King, and the
brave Volunteers, headed by the noble Garibald-
will be consummated more quickly, If not more
surely than il would have been, ultimately, through
the efforts Of their ardent patriotism. 1t will be
strange if through NapoleOn's instrumentality-al'
though not in the way in which he originally contem-
plated-Italy should be made free and become united
from the Alps to the Adriatic."
1t is not known what the exact results Of this var
will be. At the time this is written the news is too
vague to be understood in all its bearings. II the En-
peror ofthe French has really commanded peace then
we have one Of the most inexplcabe views of his in.
applicable policy. Not word about the Rhine prov
inces. Not threat against Belgium which seemed to
trembe in the anticipation Of French annexation. Not
a word about Schleswig or Holstein, nor about the
German Confederation so Sternly dissolved by the
inexorable Bsmark. Austria has the glory-Italy
the gain of the war The doomed empire of the
Hapsburg like the nlk-white limb is not yet to die.
What has Prussia gainedi Only battle If so
then has Bismark played great game for a small
stake indeed.

reached almost as readily. An expenditure OF

calculate the value even of one life 1t is sacred even
in the humble and bad and when it may be pre-
