one glory of the sun another glory of the moon,
and we are glad that these two women Of genius
are 50 different that while we are in the pres

nor to compare her with the other. And if
originality be a proof of genius, then it is not
possible to deny that Rstori has genius. She
recalls no artist that living eyes have beheld.
Least of all is she to be compared with Rachel,
so long misname ed her rival. She can do much
that Rachel mover, did; much that Rachel
would not have attempted; and, for our own
part, we frankly confess that when the tumult
of emotion in which we left the theatre had in

valence of peace and the solemn declarations
of the best men of the South relative to
her peaceful temper and disposition, are
regarded as nothing by her villifers, al

as orthodox desire to change the terms on

but retired place in their system of tactics
Before the surrender, and when the war was
waging, Congress solemnly declared in pc
riod of disaster and gloom, that the war to
be prosecuted was not to deprive the States
of their equal rights and dignity--not to de-
prive them of representation-but was war
simply for the supremacy of the Constitution
and laws. Now, however, new {" tests" are
to be imposed, and amendments to the Con-
.stitution are to be enacted by which, if the
Southern States do not adopt negro suffrage,
they shall bedeprived of their representation in

Radical Sensitiveness and Double
Dealing.

The Tribune makes weak point against
the recent PRONUNCIATION of principles BY the
Philadelphia Convention, The address says,
in general terms, that neither the war, nor
the victory by which it was closed changed
in any way the Constitution of the United
States The Tribune says these assertions
are directly in the teeth of the constitutional
amendment, which abolishes slavery in the
United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction-and which has been certified
and proclaimed as valid and integral part
of the Federal Constitution. The allusion to
the identity of the Constitution was general
one, and of course, as every one knows and
understands it was not designed to ignore or
deny the fact, patent to all, Of the abolish
ment of slavery, and the entire acqniesence Of
the Southern people in this accomplished fact.
We, therefore, regard the point raised by the
Tribune as a..weak one, and without any force
as an objection to the address. This is said
to have been written by AIR, Raymond, who,
the Tribune says, recognizes no obligations
Gated Union to its black soldiers Here we
have the eternal cropping out ofthe everlasting
negro on the brain, and slavery, whose abol-
ishment, which was once regarded as the one
thing to be desired and accomplished, has
not, after all, proved satisfactory to the ne
grophilists. The Tribune harps upon the ne
cessity of what it calls " appropriate leeisla-
ton" in the shape Of the proposed Congress
sional amendment, which is the darling hob
by of raicalism. This now constitutes its
summum 6on,,m, ga prohibitory clause to
prevent the Southern States, from hereafter
rs-establishing slavery. 1t wants Congress

MI. Davis.

1t is stated in letter from Washington
that Mr.. Davis will not be tried next October,
the Circuit Court that met in Norfolk last April
having transferred its session to Richmond,
uuder the erroneous impression that Congress
had SO voted. The act, however, did not pass
both Houses, it seems; 50 that the adjourn
ment of the Court was premature, and conse-
quently it will have to reconvene at Norfolk
and perfect a legal adjournment to Richmond.
When these difficulties are removed, Chief
Justice Chase, it is said, will be in readiness to
call special session of the Court, before which
Mr.. Davis may be tried.
1t is to be hoped that the time is not to he
further protracted. The ex-Presidentis anx-
