meaus satisfactorily established that majority
OF the citizens desire or are prepared for the ex

CHARACTER OF THE JURORS.

The officials at Washington, it seems have
at last determined to try Jefferson Davis for
Treason. Looking at all the grave responsible
ties which surround this trial IL was fair TO sup
pose that Government anxious to vindicate its
action in regard to the initiation aud prosecution
of a gigantic war, would have surrounded itself
with such agents to elicit truth and administer
Justice as, at least, might have commanded some
degree of respect
The first act Of the Drama of Treason" has
been presented to the Norfolk public within the
last three or four days, ard closed we are told
with the finding by the Grard Jury, of true
bill against Mr. Davis.
We need not again recur to the character of
,ihe charge to the Grand Jury delivered by
Judge Underwood at the opening Of the United
States Court in this city on Tuesday last All
who have read that scurrilous production must
regret that the Government under which they
live should ever have conferred office upon such
n miserable creature
Descending from Underwood-if it be posi-
big to do SOTO his jury, how stands the case in
regard to the character Of the agents selected
by the Government to say that Jefferson Davis
should be tried for his life on the charge of
treason?
just here, let remark that we have no de-
sire to indulge u personalities, desire to at
tract public Indignation towards any individual
What We shall write concerning these Grand
,Jurymen Is dictated by conscientious conviction
of duty, and not only to MIR Davis but to our
country. If there must be chosen some victim
to expiate the sins OF nation, and it Ms Davis
must be that victim, shall feel called upon
TO use every exerton, to put forth all iDfor,na-
>tlon, to exercise every Influence which coulG
possibly secure for him Impartial trial. As
far as depends on us, Jefferson Davis shall have
justice and if motif in the inception or pro-
gress of proceedings against him we discover
the least appearance Of wrong -1oiny, no power
Garth shall deter from proclaiming it to
the world. But to this jury.
1t is not necessary for purpose that We
should mention names, We therefore omit them
and make the general declaration, the truth of
which will be attested by every re- pectable
man in this community, that So far the Nor
folk uen concerned, who on that jury
a more unreliable set, with possibly two
exceptions, could not be found, in this, or any
other community.
Three of them are deserte-s from the Con-
.federate ranks. Butler Intigated his infamy
in this community, by fixing perjury on one of
them. And another, seeking lower depth"
after he turned Union man, went into the bust
ness of running blockade goods into the Con-
.federacy, and yet juryman, took the oath,
that he had never given laid and comfort" to
the South
This is true bill against some of the men

SUICIDES.

A decision has been rendered by the Supreme
Court Of the State of Maine which manifestly
offers premium upon suicide as far as legal
adjudication Can do so. We have not a
full report of the case, but the facts are briefly
these: \ man committed suicide and his heirs
claimed the amount for which his life in
sured The Court decided, appeal, that
the heirs were entitled to the amount Of the life
insurance.
The oply ground upon which we can conceive
that this decision can be defended is the one
probably advanced by ksacpuusel for the heirs,
and adopted by the Court, viz: The argument
that the suicide occurred trouI insanity and was
the result of special affliciou from Providence,
and therefore natural death. But this reason
ing is evidently unsound, and its adoption and
establishment by Judicial decision would set
very dangerous precedent 1t may be main
tanned, indeed has been, that man commits
set-destructlOn unless insane. Under the slim
illus OF such a decision many man in desperate
circumstances, weary and Indifferent of life,
would be sure to resort to suicide means to
provide for his family. All he would have to
do would be to take out policy, feign few
acts of insanity, and then kill himself He
would thereby place his family in position of
independence, and if he was an idle, dissip ated
fellow he would them in death better
than he had ever done in life
We believe that in nearly all policies of life
insurance companies there is clause which re-
leases the company from payment when death
results from tclo lie Sc But this decision of
the Maine court deprives the company of the
benefit of this clause, if the suicide was the
result of Insanity, because then, by the ruling
of the court, the death would be the act not of
the man, but Of God, and the company would
be held liable, This decision is SO opposed to
the princ pies of common sense, as we'll Of sound
leea! policy, that cannot believe that it will
be allowed to stand long unchallenged Rich

son Davis has been noticed, under the direction
of Major G eneral Miles, acting, no doubt, un-
der instructions from Washington The guard
formerly in his room, of one soldier, has been
removed, permanently, it is said; and there is
every reason to believe that the number OF
guards all arouod the neighborhood OF his cell

1t is understood that the Surgeon of the Post
has complied with the instructions of President

reason to believe that it does not speak in very
hopeful terms of his condition, and urges less
