THE TRIAL OF MIR. DAVIS.

1t will be seen from our news column this
morning, that the counsel for JEFFERSON
DAVIS, on Tuesday, brought before the L. s.
Circuit Court, sitting at Richmond, the ques-
ton Of his trial. Mr.. REED, one of the
counsel, in proper and decorous language,
announced that his client was ready to meet
the issue which the Government had made
in the indictment found on the records Of
the Court. lie further proceeded to inquire
the purpose of the prosecuting officers, and
demanded that if they intended to postpone
the cause they should state the reasons why.
He further notified the Court, that in behalf
Of his client, he asked an instant investiga-
tion-the speedy and public trial" to which
he was entitled
In this connection we publish the follow
ing from the New York Tribune Of the 4th:
Richmond was evacuated by the Rebel
Government on the night of April 2, 1860.
Lee surrendered on the 9th. JohnstOns
final surrender followed on the 26th. The
President proclamation, charging JEFF.
Davis with the assassination of President
Lincoln and offering 100000 for his cap
ture, appeared May 2. His capture near Ir-
winsville, Georgia, took place May 10; and
he was delivered at Fortress Monroe May
10.
For more than a year, therefore, he has
been in the hands Of the Government, and
imprisoned directly under its eye. 1t is not
conceivable that any facts bearing essential
ly on his guilt or innocence remain TO be
| discovered or established. The President
has officially proclaimed the rebellion sup
pressed and the war at an end. All his fell
low prisoners, including one or more who
we're likewise charged with completely in
President Lincoln's assassination and re-
wards offered for their capture, have been
liberated without trial
If Mr.. Davis is to be tried-as it seems TO
us he ought to be-we can imagine no rea-
son for deferring his trial. If he has been
uniustly proclaimed an assassin, he should
somehow be relieved from the blasting incul-
| patton. And, if he is not to be tried, but is
merely neld until public sentiment will adj
init Of his Liberation, we protest against the
policy as unworthy. The people Of this
country are not children. They do not need
TO be hoodwinked and played with.
If a full years inquiry has developed no
| evidence justifying an indictment for any
other crime than treason, and ii it is judged
not best to try him in Virginia or some other
State for treason, let us stop boarding and
lodging him at the public cost Even if
the object Of his Imprisonment were TO rem
der him the sole idol of the late rebels, ma
king them forget all his faults in their SYM
pathy for his condition, it has already been
fully achieved. Let us have an end of
shams! Either try him or let him go.

BUSINESS IN New ORLEANs.-The New
Orleans Podyune comparing the business OF
that city at present with that of former
years. says:
at was, some time ago, the season Of the
year when formerly it was our custom to
contract our columns for the summer but to-
day we feel more the necessity of expand
ing them, in order 10 accommodate all our
patrons. Using as small type as We can,
and be clearly and easily read We day
b. day are compelled TO leave out some
thing that We would gladly lay before
cur readers. And to-day, the third of
June, when many who have INDUCED in
misgivings, thought surely the usually dali
summer season would have overtaken us,
what a yery busy life does it present
Every profession, every department of bust
ness carried on in our city or the South
western country is there represented, and
with gratifying evidences of more than usual
prosperity. Like a sensible community, our
people are generally staying at home, con-
tented and happy, and, instead of spending
the money they made the last season, travel
ing in the North or in Europe, are wisely
investing it in real property and expanding
business to the better interest of their fami-
lies and the common good. The recent large
purchases of real estate in both city and
country, and the permanent establishment
ia business here, not only of all our old
population, but of new Corners from all parts
of the country, indicate present sound and
healthy state Of public feeling, and give
the most encouraging promises for the fu-
ture"

Mr.. HOGAN, a Democratic member Of Con-
gress from St. Louis, recently asserted that
the Supreme Court of the United States had
decided that the Missouri test oath was un-
constitutional, though the decision had not
been made public Doubts having been ex-
pressed in relation TO the subject, Mr.. Hogan
wrote 10 Revordy johnson, who was CONSUL
in the case, and asked his view of the mat
ter. Mr.. johnson replied that he argued
before the Court that the test oath was I'M
constitutional, because in conflict with the
provision in the tenth section of the first ar
ticle of the Constitution of the United
States, that no State shall pass any bill Of
attaindor or cr post tdcio law. To this con-
clusiom, says Mr.. johnson, majority Of the
Court came, but failed TO announce this de-
cision at the late term of the Court Tor want
Of time TO prepare such an opinion as the
importance of the question demanded.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY. - The Albany
argus says; Thad. Stevens declared, while
he was applying the lash to his followers,
who curled under his dictation like whipped
spaniels, that the clause DISTINGUISHING the
rebels until 1870, was the "vitaln point TO
the whole proposition, and that without it
he would not give the snap Of his finger
for it," The proposition has gone before the
Senate, and this vital point has been
stricken oua by unanimous uotc. This shows
that the party has no principle, no fixed
purpose or rule Of action. The whole ma
chinery of the Government is sought TO be
used to perpetuate party. The interests Of
the country are lost sight Of in their efforts
to retain power. What one considers as
vital" the other repudiates.

Confederate Congress from Mississippi, in 4
note to the editor of the jackson Standard,
refers to the recently published statements
relative to the removal of the remains of his

tention Of lis nearest kindred to remove his
body, at an early day, for consignment to its
final resting place, at some appropriate spot
within the limits of his own State, without
taxing the generosity Of others"

The Cincinnati Gazette, having been called
10 task for hunting up and republishing with
gusto, the EXTREMIST expressions Of the ex-
tremest Southern journals, replies:
1T is queer illustration of the instincts Of JUS
tice in the Southern mind, that the only Ohense
it can see in these sentiments Of the Southern
press is in the journals which repub;ish them in
the North, where they do no harm to the South.
But the gazette differs from Southern journals in
this, that 1t is news paper. 1t publishes the
spirit Of the Southern press n part of the intel
ligcnce Of the day. And at this time, when lying
agents are sent out on public pay, TO report the
tale prepared for them. it is just to the Southern
people to let them speak their unconscious seati-
Henfs through their unconscious organs"
The Gazette is mistaken in its claim to
publishing 'the spirit of the Southern press
as a part Of the intelligence of the day" 1t
knows that it publishes nothing from the
Southern press, except what it has reason to
believe will inhame, embitter and intensity
sectional antagonisms. 1t never quotes from
the moderate journals of this section, that
are laboring in good faith to restore the
Union under the Constitution, and that will
not he betrayed into incorporate expressions
under the weight of injustice and oppression,
with which the Radical majority in Congress
is seeking TO overwhelm them now and for
all time to come. There are few or no pa
pers in the South that are not infinitely
more true and loyal to the Constitution than
STEVENS and his followers.
The Gazette is correct in saying that it al
lows through its columns, the Southern peo-
pie to speak their unconscious scntimeats,
through their unconscious organs" The peo-
pie of this section and their organs are
equally unconscious" of disloyalty to the
Government, or of entertaining a feeling of
hostility to the Union and the Constitution
1t will be WELL in view of this frank adj
mission Of leading Radical organ, for the
conductors of Southern newspapers to de-
cline TO furnish that kind of matter which
their distant foes are using as instruments
for their destruction.
