THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAv1s.The

~ 'IHE TRIAL OF JEFF. LAWS He
latest rumor is that Chief Justice Chase
has consented to preside over the trial
ofJeff. Davis, at Richmond, for Treason.
The suspension of martial law by the
President in Virginia is said to have
overcome his previous scruples and de.
cided this course.
The Acknowledgement will be assisted
by VIM. NJ. Evarts, of New York, and
Judge Clifford, of Massachusetts,, IN
conducting the prosecution. Charles
O'Conor will manage the defence, and
will have associated with him Mr..
Gillette, of Saratoga, and other able
counsel.
The trial will be conducted in a man.
ner worthy of It's great importance, and
of the vast influence it may exercise in
determining the settlement by law of
questions that have heretofore had no
other arbitration than that Of the
sword.
1t is useless to complain of what is
already settled. Government having
decided to put this cause into Court,
and abide the issue, we can only hope
that result may be reached which will
vindicatc the wisdom of its conclusion,
and strengthen the foundations. OF those
sound political principles that are the
immutable safeguards of our national
life.
That Davis is guilty of Treason, the
world knows. That fact has already
been adjudged by a tribunal much high
err than the one appealed to, and under
circumstances which impart profound
solemnity to the decision. That he
will never suffer the extreme penalty OF
his crime, is certain. If there ever was
time when it would have been wise to
martyrize him upon the gallows, it pas
sed months ago. Possessing as we did,
the advantages of moral verdict and
of political triumph, it is greatly to be
doubted whether it would not have
been better if Davis had escaed arrest
altogether, than to have him made the
subject of trial which will convert him
into the hero of the day; while it can
result in no definite conclusions upon
his personal case.
For nobody believes Virginia jury
will render verdict of guilty. The
prosecution will prove its charge, by
piling mountain upon mountain of evil
dence. 1t will make a record of con-
demnation clear as MONDAY. But it
will not overcome the power of South
ern prejudice, or prevent the introduc,
ton into the jury-box Of men who re-
gard Davis almost as a .demigod, or
who, having participated in his crime,
view it with yeneration and not with
detestation.
Whatever may have been the differ
ences of ideas upon this subject in the
past, thoughtful men must now agree
that with the adjustment of courts-mar-
tial and the restoration of civil tribu-
mails at the South, it has become i'm
possible to prosecute to successful con-
viction and legal punishment the lead
ers of the Rebellion. If penalties are
to be inflicted, they must be visited by
direct act of Congress. To this source,
also, we must look for those securities
which shall in future prevent disloyal
men taking absolute control of politics,
and guard the loyal in an enjoyment of
their sacred franchises.-Al6dny EUe.

The Rev. THEODORE CLApp, who died
at Louisville on the 18th instant, was a
native of Massachusetts, but for a long
time preacher in New Orleans. 1t is
more than thirty years since he COM
menced his ministrations in that city,
and, though much was said against his
religious ideas, there were few who did
not concede the power of his intellect,
his high tone of spirit, and the exceed
ing generosity of his nature. The church
edifice in which Mr.. CLAPP officiated in
New Orleans was presented to him by
wealthy Hebrew of that city, we think
the late Judah Touro. Mr.. Clapp was
remarkable not only for his pulpit pow
ers, but for his courage and devotion
iu times of pestilence, and his personal
exertions for the relief of the poor and
and Of the stranger. Peace to the ash
es of that good Samaritan!

service during the war:

dent elect
SIR:-This Department has accepted your
resignation as brigadier general and Military
Governor of Tennessee
Permit me, on this occasion, to render to,
you the thanks of this Department for your
patriotic and able services during the event
ful period through which you have exercised
the high trust committed to your charge In
one OF the darkest hours of the great strug
gle for national existence against rebellious
foes, the government called you from the
Senate, and from the comparatively safe and
easy duties of civil life, to place you in front
OF the enemy, and in position of personal
toll and danger perhaps more hazardous than
was encountered by any other citizen or mil
itary officer of the United States. With
patriotic promptness you assumed the post,
and maintained it under circumstances of
unparalleled trials, until recent events have
I brought safety and deliyeranceto your State,
and to the integrity Of the constitutional
Union for which you so long and SO gallant
! ly perilled all that is dear to man on earth.
| That you may be spared to enjoy the new
honors and perform the high duties to which
you have been called by the people of the
| United States. is the sincere wish of one who,
in every official and personal relation, has
found you worthy of the confidence of the
government, and the honor and esteem OF
your fellow citizens. I.
Your obedient servant,
| n EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Secretary Of War.

SENATOR CARL1Ls.-Hon John S. Garlic,
formerly United States Senator from West
Virginia, who is now resident of Freder-
lex, Maryland, is thus spoken of by the
Wheeling IntelHgeneer
: We understand that our ancient friend,
the Hon. John S. Garlic, since he became a
resident of Maryland, has changed for the
better in all respects, and that recently he
has expressed himself as decidedly in favor
of the Registry law in that State, scouting
the idea that men like Bradley johnson, Har-
ry Gilmor, and Marshal Kane ought to be al
lowed to exercise political power in the State
after having for years fought to drag Mary
land into the rebel confederacy.n -

Congress then all i shall wish for win be to
die. This is the summit of my ambition.
9To-morrowI despatch an officer of my staff
to President Juarez to state to him my future
plans regarding my country, and shall also
send Communication to Senior Romero, ex-
planning my views to him., and requesting
his operation in the grand work of the
salvation Of the Mexican republic at this, the
eleventh hour.
Turning from Mexico, after some converse
ton on ordinary topics, We inquired: Do
you expect to meet General Scott, your old
antagonist, during your stay ~
SANTA ANAL have written to General
Scott announcing my arrival. We fought
against each other pretty hard in Mexico, but
ladmire him greatly. and expect to meet
him. He is great general.
The above is but brief resume of the con-
versation between the father of the Mexican
republic and our representative during pri-
waite interview which lasted upwards of two
hours. The General communicated vast
amount of information concerning his early
history-a synonym for that of Mexico and
many personal incidents of interest, which
our space will not allow us topublish.

There is n doctor in our town,

And lays up money every year.

He had but little cash in truth;
But still he'd try his best to do
And make name and money too.
lie attended lectures, studied hard
And very quickly passed the board;
lie opened office. hung out sign,
But many patients could not find.
Each day he sat, with saddened face
For poverty came apace
At last friend gave him advice
Which changed his fortune in a trice
Now patients focked from far and near.
And kept him busy all the year;
Men and women, all declare
No doctor can with him compare
The secret of his great success.
