THE rRIAL OF prR. paws.


The delay in the trial of JEFFERSON
DAVIS who has lain for eighteen months a
prisoner in a military fortress charged with
civil and military crimes Of the highest
magnitude, is attractingth the attention Of every
humane man Of every opinion and Of every
party net only in this country, but in every
civilized portion Of the world. There rests
a grave responsibility somewhere-one that
may become as damning crime as ever
blackencd the pages OF history. We do not
seek to disguise our sympathy for the pris-
oner, but we tlinlE, as doubtless he docs, that
il Is unmanly to appeal for him, or to So
licit pity and compassion. The pen
when il touches the subject, is prone 10
indignant demand for simple justice,
and unmeasured denunciation Of the
brutality which thus far has denied
him trial, and which seems to
seek, through technical evasions, to doom
him TO a dungeon for the rest Of his natural
life. Such result may, in the event Of its
happening, release men as culpable as he,
whatever he may be guilty Of, from an en-
barrassing attitude, bat the refusal to accord
him 'the speedy and public trial" which the
laws Of the land give him, has already tar
nished the escuteheon Of national Justice,
and should he die unohallengsd TO account
and unheard in defense, will be bloody
spot which all the waters on the continent
cannot wash out, aud leave ranking wound
that viii be felt for generations TO come.
The men who have wilfully prolonged
Mr.. DAVIS corporal and mental torture, are
attempting, under the sense Of public odium
which they feel, TO shin the responsibility,
and throw II upon President JOHNSON. The
hrst message Of the President nearly
year ago, and the correspondence OF the 18th
inst, with Attorney General sTANBERRY,
arwuit him Of blame. Il is lea at the doors
OF Congress, and on the conscience Of Chief
Justice CHASE, where the truth Of history
viii f,stcn il to their iuiamy forever.

An American Purchase on Eastern Wa
ters-The Position Of Gen. Dix-What
Was said at the Cable Banquet In Lon
don.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-A Herald's cores
pendent from near Constantino9le, Septem-
Der 18th, announces the completion of the
purchase of the Island of Niclose a most
important naval station in the Grecian Ar
chipeIago by the United States. Government,
and declares st the same time the positive
interest which the American people have
in the progress and Solution of the eastern
question.
The news of Gen. Dix appointed as United
States Minister, is communicated only by
the Paris journls. Some of the writers
think he is charged to take strong position
in support Of the Monroe doctrine as ap-
plicable to the Mexican throne, while others
say the contrary. Mr. Adams, the United
States Minister in London, having visited
Brussels, some of the Belgian newspapers
say his journey was taken in reference to the
Mexican question.
One thousand pounds weight OF gold had
arrived in Paris from Costa Rica, taken
from mines conceded to a French company,
and worked under the direction of French
General by President Castro.
The Paris newspapers say the enterprise
of their countrymen in Central America
will recompense the country for the failure
in Mexico.
The officers Of the United States war
steamer TieOnderoga, enjoyed a very dis
tinguished reception and marked attention
at the hands Of the Tuskish authorities in
Constantinople.
Lord Stanly, in his speech at the Cable
banquet said, think England and America
are both in condition to gain mutually by
fair, temperate criticism of one anothers'
proceedings. They have really no hostile,
no opposite interests united. These are a
match for the world, while quarrel between
them would be fearful injury, not ouly to
themselves, but to the best interests of man
kind in general.

ders issued BY the Attorney General Of The
United States, With the concurrence Of the
Secretary Of War, United States District
Attorney Dart gave instructions to General
Barrie, commanding the Middle District,
to turn over the arms seized from the Fe-
nians Of this city and at other points within
ms District upon their giving bondin double
their value, 70 be approved BY Judge w. K.
Kali, that the arms shall not be used IN vio-
iatltn Of the neutrality laws. There were
twenty boxes valued at $4,000. This gen.
eral order was procured By Hon. JOS. N.
Humphreys. The Cabinet took the ground
that as the Governor had abandoned the
prosecution Of the Fenian officers and sol
diers, the State could not well hold their
private property. Several thousand dollars
worth of arms at various other points will
be turned over upon the same terms. II Is
said by the Fenians that the arms will be
sold to Santa Anna. In this city P. o. Day
and F. B. Gallaher signed the bond.

Grent Fire in 0uebec.

QUEBEC, G. E., October 15.-About 4
o'clock yesterday morning a fire began in
the house of Mr.. Irudel, grocer, ST. Joseph
street, near Jacques cartier market Owing
to the early hour of the morning, there
were but few people about. The wind
which had blown half gale from the east
all night, had slightly abated, still it ragged
with such fury as to cause serious apprehen-
sions. By the time the fire brigade reached
the scene TrudePs house was enveloped in
flames. The sappers were already there,
but there was some delay in laying the hose
and getting force of water, which was not
remedied for nearly an hour, enabling the
fire to make rapid progress and igniting ten
or twelve houses and some wooden sheds
containing lumber. BY halfpast 5 o'clock
eighty houses, all wooden, were in a blaze,
the flames, driven by the wind, spreading in
all directions. At $50 over one hundred
and fifty houses were consumed. The fire
by this time ran along st. Joseph and Notre
Dame and Des-Anges to Duncan and St.
Valliere streets, carrying everything before
it. The Church of La Congregation stood
in great danger, but sudden veering of the
wind saved it.
The fire soon spread into St. Sauviur
street. House after house fell prey to the
flames. Il was Thought the houses eastward
would be saved, bu. the fire crept back,
doing its work Of destruction. At IL o'clock
the whole centre of the district lying be-
tween St. Sauviur and Lower street, running
parallel with the river, was barren waste.
Having nothing to feed on, il distributed it.
self in different directions, the wind increas-
ing and blowing gusts from every direction.
Three separate conhagrations were observed
at once. st. Sanviur church, Dunn's soap
and candle factory, Refs rope-walk and
other large buildings were in flames. Along
St. Valliere street, towards the toll gate, and
streets surrounding the general hospital and
convent, another terrible fire was raging with
even greater fury at Crown street and along
Prince Edward, Jesuit and Ryland streets,
the flames creeping back, enveloping street
after street, despite the almost superhuman
when there was nothing more for it to feed
upon,
Moderate computation places the number
of houses destroyed at $500. Loss between
$4,000 600 to S3OO0.000. Number Of per-
sons rendered houseiess $1,000. The body
of a man burned nearly to a crisp was
dragged out Of a house, but could not be re-
eognized.
Sergeant Hughes Of the Royal Artillery
was blown up and badly burned, though
not dangerously.

RnAn

THE H0BBER1Ea on EkE LOUIS
VILE AND NASHVILLE RAIL
Road
Last week we chrcnicled one Of the most
fendish outrages of highwaymen on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad that hln
ever come within our observation. Thedelib-
crate and pEe=sranged throwing of ths-pay
train from the track Cor the purpose Of plun-
der, and regardless Of human life to any and
every extent, was an act Of cold-blooded
atrocity which has seldom met with paral-
lei in this or any other country. A day or
two aferwards these or similar robbers en-
tered depot on the same road, in broad
daylight, and plundered it Of its money
contents The road managers have offered
large rewards for the apprehension and pun
ishment of these daring parties; but we have
heard nothing of their arrest.
Such things revive the memory of the
most wanton aud cruel SORES Of the bandits
Of past ages, and Of the braves and brigands
of the most unsettled countries Of the pres
entstime. The traveller passing through
the richest and most cultivated portion Of
highly enlightened and christian country
may be any day or night confronted by these
robbers, and deprived Of his life or purse, or
both. Who is safe under such circum-
stances? Who will trust his wife and chill
dren, or himself upon a road on which at
any moment he or they may be deprived of
life? How long, under such conditions, will
this road be safe as lire of travel or COM
merce? These questions are pertinent, and
are addressed to these whose duty it is to
detect and apprehend the robber and assas-
sin. The civil authorities, to whom the
people look for protection, should bestir
themselves, and leave no means unem-
ployed TO ferret out the perpetrators Of
these Outrages, and to prevent their recur-
renee in the future. Hundreds and thou
sands of people are constantly travelling on
this road, both for business and pleasure,
and they have a profound interest in its
protection and safety. Every night there is
train passing over the road with hundreds
Of persons who may be hurled into eternity
without a moments warning, by the Prov
ling highwayman, whose presence along its
line has been so clearly and fearfully de-
monstrated. In the name of the general
public we make this appeal to the authori-
ties along the road and at both ends, to make
immediate and vigorous efforts to ascertain
and bring to punishment the parties guilty
of these outrage thus save the lives of
many in future, and preserve the road to
the use of the people and the objects for
which il was constructed.
