The President yesterday sent Message to
the Senate, in reply to the inquiry Of that body
why jefferson Davis is confined and why he Is
not brought to trial. The Message covers re-
ports from the Secretary of War and the Attor-
ey-General, and does not otherwise respond to
the Senate resolution except by referring to the
annual Message of the President. The Secre-
tary Of War explains that Jefferson Davis is held
on charges of treason, Of melting the assassina-
ton OF Abraham Lincoln, and Of starving Union
prisoners of war; that the President desired to
have him first tried for treason, and that the
Attorney General advised Virginia as the most
proper place for such trial, but that the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court declines to hold
court within the limits of that circuit. The
Attorney General states the substance OF the
opinion heretofore given by him to the Presi-
dent, and there the matter is left.

The readers of The TRIBUNE will remember
that in our last report stated that the Fenan Con-
gress had resolved itself into general court martial
for the purpose Of trying the charges preferred against
It by Col Mabony AS such court martial il met af
Clinton Hall yesterday and resumed the trial Of the
impeacbcd members. There was the usual mystery
and secresy preserved relative TO the business trans
acted. and little could be ascertained by our reporter
from the delegates they came out OF the ball. az
pears however that about o'clock the trial was
oeeded with; that witnesses were put upon The staci
aud examined according TO Fenan legal iorms' that
Mccormick then presented the case ta
the Court who without hours deoerat'on, not even
lea wing their seats rendered verdict ot guilty
1t is stated that the sentence was YET to Je pro.
nounced by Col OMabony. who, !. is expected. will
give the 'erring ones a chance 10 get recon

Another communicative Fenian delegate also stated
that the Finance Committee presented their report in
the afternoon From that document II appeared that
the total receipts from October 1865, TO January l-s
amounted TO sl47 OOO and that at present bu, Sc oe
remains unexpended. The Secretary oi War. Gea.

The Erening Post cannot escape by qulbblc
from the logical consequences of its new atti-
tude. We do trust in the Constitutional
Amendment prohibiting Slavery; but that
Amendment is itself in direct conflict with The
Posts present doctrine II The Post were right
in its fundamental proposition, then the Amend
ment would be not merely usurpation but a
nullity; for we all know that the assent to it OF
what The Post terms Il" the people" of the Cot
ton States is reluctant and constrained. Their
extremity, not their will, consents to ratify;
and if The Post be correct, We had no right to
require them to ratify. And this will be pleaded
in favor of new attempts TO reduce the Blacks
to Slavery, if we agree to Z" restoration" based
on the present ideas Of The Post.
The simple truth is that The Post is, like
Sawney, "ganging book agen." 1t is qualify
ing itself for readmission into the Democratic
party--ior the approval ana favor of Tammany
Hall. We regret this, but cannot help it. We
shall try to prevent its carrying many with it..

And there arc other and greater obstacles
than the rapids which ought to be removed,
viz the bridges. The Rock Island, or the
Clinton bridge, are either of them q much
greater obstacle than the Upper and Lower
Rapids together, and the growing interests of
the Mississippi valley will yet require the re-
moval Of all bridges with piers. The OBJ
structions of the rapids are nothing compar-
cd with one bridge Formerly, boats were
lost on the rapids, but this is not the case now,
Boats are now built SO strong that there is no
danger of sinking on the rapids. The wors.
thst can occur. if they get on the rocks, is lit.
tie detention. There ia no trouble Ut all in
getting off, nor no danger Of the loss of
boat. But If boat runs on bridge she is
almost certain to be wrecked and sunk and the
lives Of all on board are in danger. OF course
we should be glad to see the rapids improved
but it is folly to expend money for that pur:
pose if bridges with piers in the river are al.
lowed TO be constructed.

IN the field and in council, ever signaiized
his devotion TO the union Of states and won
for himself enduring national renOwn. My
engagements, however, will not permit me to
be present.

honor OF an event to which, as you Justly re-
mark, our reunited brethren in every port IN
OF the republic can recur with equal graufi

from the contemplation of eomuun trials,
common victories and national traditions, sa
credly cherished by every American, cannot

The River Trade for Is66---ImpI ovement
Of the Rapids.
We anticipate lively times on the Upper
Mississippi river during the ensuing season OF
navigation. if the stage of water is favorable.
The keokuk Constitution says a joint com
pany Of boat owners OF St. LOUIS and Gin
cinnati are organizing q line of twelve boats
to run between St. Louis and New Orleans to
be called the Peoples Line. The line will
consist of twelve frst-class boats, of which
the following have already been pledged -
The Magenta, Gen. Quitman, Fashion. Henry
Won Fhul, Commonwealth. Clara Dolson John
Kilgour, Henry Ames. and Indiana. AR
fragments have already been made for this
line to run In connection with the Star Line
of packets from New Orleans which consists
of ten fine steamships running regularly from
the Crescent City to New York. In connec
ton with it there is to be another line of IL
boats from St. Louis 90 st. Paul, thus enabl-
ing shippers of the valley of the Upper Mis-
sissippi to ship their grain to New York via
New Orleans, receiving q through bill of land
ing therefor.
We learn from another source that CON-
pany has just been organized in ST. Louis, to
build q fleet of bargss. for carry ing grain in
bulk from st. Louis TO New Orleans, to trans
for grain from river bargss TO ocean crafts for
shipment eastward. ---
This il a move in the right direction, and
shows that the steemboat interests are deter
mined to compete with railroad transporta
tion in such a manner that the prioe of freight
must decline from the ruinous rates which
have prevailed for few years past.
To render this competition still more fatal
tn rsilroad monopolies-to render ii perfect,
and to balance the power so that the produc-
era Of our great valley will be entirely safe
from extortion, there yet remains one obsta-
Gle to remove. The rapids of the Mississippi
river must be cleared. and navigation on the
Upper Mississippi rendered secure and relia
bic during all portions of the season To fur
ther this end, the Dubuque produce exchange
