The Trial OF MIR. Davis.

The New York World cites that
provision of the Constitution, which
declares that in all criminal prosecu-
tions, the accused shall enjoy the
right to speedy and public trial; and
the pledge of Judge Underwood, in
the name of Chief Justice Chase,
that Mr.. Davis should be tried IN
October; and takes occasion to con-
denim in most decided language the
delay so long continued. In its
article, the promptness of the proceed
ings in the case of Burr, is contrast
ed with the conduct of Judges Under
wood and Chase. Burr having
escaped from custody, after his first
arrest in January, 1907, was after
wards re-arrested and Immediately
taken to Richmond, where he ar
rived on the evening of the goth of
March. IOn the 30th, he was brought
before Chief Justice Marshall, exa-
mined and committed. He was
then admitted to bail, to await the
action of the grand jury. at the next
term of the Circuit Court, on the
22d May. On the oath of June, the
grand jury, of which the celebrated
John Randolph was foreman, brought
in bill of Indictment for treason; to
which Burr pleaded not guilty, and
the trial was postponed to the Sd
Augusta delay that was needed for
the proper preparation of the case.
Thus prompt was that distinguished
Chief Justice to discharge his con-
stitutional obligation, to give the per
son charged with treason "a speedy
and public trial"
The World adds, that in case like
this of Mr.. Davis, delay in the trial
is denial of justice. Imprisonment
protracted beyond necessity is pun
ishment; and if it ends the days of
the prisoner, it is the punishment of
death. Punishment may properly
follow the sentence, if Mr.. Davis is
convicted; but punishment previous
to trial, is injustice.
We do not think, in the history of
this or any other country, will be
found a parallel case to this long and
needless imprisonment Of q feeble
man; who, when tried, if he should
linger out his existence until that
time, will possibly be acquitted of
the crime with which he is charged

PoLITIcs IN THE PULPIT. The New
York Herald, of Monday, has, among
its other sensations, a report of the
sermons" of the previous day in the
principal Protestant churches. The
heading to its report tells story that
no comment could enforce, when we
remember the scene, the day and the
actors. Read:

The Truth.
A correspondent of the New Haven
Register writes as follows:

a correspondent OF the New Haven
Register writes as follows:
The Southern country is in an aw-
full condition. It must be seen to be
believed-the corn crop, their princi-
pal article of food, having failed this
season on account of the drought. It
is expected starvation must take place
in some sections before next spring.
Corn is now selling for So. so per
bushel, and bacon a. twenty-five
cents per pound. God knows the
radicals need not wish the Southern
people to suffer more than they are
suffering. If they were barbarians
they could not treat them worse than
they wish to.
The negroes have no hesitation in
saying they were better off as slaves
than now. It is evident to candid
mind they have never been worked
very hard, from the fact that since
their freedom they have rented lands
from their former owners, and have
eaten, during the time they have been
raising their crops, moro than they
have raised altogether. This does
not leave a very wide margin for
them to live on from harvest to har-
vest, and yet they claim to have
worked q cheap" harder than ever
before. They have no conception in
managing for themselves.
They deserve compassion. They
have been robbed from good homes,
for an idea, to wander like vagabonds
broadcast through the country to
starve. This same gentleman-Dr.
Tate-in conversation, remarked, with
all the warmth of q parent, "N nat
can we do for our rpoornegroes? We
are unable to assist them, having lost
all; and yet we would willingly Share
with them rather than have them suf-
fer, but we have nothing left to divide
they must starve."
This isreally their condition. When
the war closed, the darkies got it in
their heads they could not be free
unless they left their old homes
under the impression given them by
these Abolition demagogues. The
novelty of freedom has passed-the
reality stares them in the face. He
has no one to feed, clothe and give
him any little notion he may fancy,
as formerly. They begin to realize
fully their condition, o hungry sto-
mach being faithful monitor, and as
soon as they need anything, they put
back to their old masters, begging for
shelter and something to eat They
cannot refuse them, SO they lay
around their old homes until their
former owners are compelled, for
their own protection, to tell them to
go away.

SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN EXPLAINS.
In his late speech at Cincinnati,
Senator Sherman said of the consti-
tutional amendments:
eff it is rejected-if, by the trea-
cherry of the man whom we elected to
power, the Southern people are finally
led to reject that constitutional amend
ment-then let us place our super
structure on the rock of eternal truth,
where all the powers of hell shall not
shake it. Applause. They ask you
how you will do it. say we will tell
them how when the time comes.
Great applause. The day has not
gone by, and l believe the solemn
judgment and determination of the
American people will be, that if there
is no other way to deal with this peo-
pie, that we will take the most radi-
cal doctrine that the widest man in
the country can think of and adopt,
great applause, rather than to sur
render again to this rebellious people
power, not only over negro popula-
ton, but power over ourselves. "
We presume this sentiment needs
no explanation. The plan referred
to is Brownlow's. Everybody knows
what that is. The only consolation
will be that men so atrociously wicked
have not power equal to malice.
