The President and the COurts--NO
Military Interference Allowable.

Special Disps oh to the Cincinnati Enquirer
WAsaKGToN, May 5.-Chief justice
Chase had an interview with the Pres :
dent tonight at nine o'clock, relative
| to the trial of jeff Davis and the re.
storation of civil law in Virginia. Mr..
Chase wanted to be assured that the
United States Courts would be unob-
structed by military orders. He recur-
red to his letter to Mr. johnson of last
October, in which he declined to hold
the United States Circuit Court IN Vir-
ginia.
So long as they were surrounded
with bayonets and subject to the inter
ference of military commandments, he
would still refuse to hold court if the
military status was unchanged. He
understood the peace proclamation as
restoring the writ of hGbeas corpus, but
was ignorant of the condition OF affairs
in Visginia, and in doubt whether the
military or the civil authorities had
precedence The President informed
him that so far as his official informa-
ton extended, the civil law is now su-
preme in the State of Virginia, and
the courts could proceed without fear of
interruption from military officers; and
such, in fact, is the case so far as lie
knows all over the land where the civil
courts are organized.
1t now rests with the Chief Justice.
the United States District Judge of
Virginia, Judge Underwood, and the
United States District Attorney, Mr..
Chandler, to determine whether Mr..
Davis shall be indicted and tried in
Virginia or not The United States
Court sits on Monday at Norfolk and it
is understood that Davis case will be
brought before the Grand Jury to be
convened in that city.
I met an officer to-day who saw JEFF
Davis last week in Fortress Monroe.
Davis was a witness of the trial of some
large guns. lie was attended by mil.
ilary officer who stood by his side, and
by two soldiers with muskets who stood
a few feet behind Davis. The ex-Presi-
dent OF the late Confederacy was sppa-
rently IN excellent health. He is per-
mitted 10 walk about daily within the
bounds of the fortress, and walks five
or six miles per day.

a Living CONGRESS.

The preamble to the bill admitting
Colorado, recently passed by Congress,
says
And whereas, il appears by message
Of the President of the United States, ia ed
January Is, 1866, that the said people have
adopted q Constitution, which, upon due eX-
animation, is found 70 conform to the pro-
visions and comply Nth The conditions OF
said act" etc.
Now, this statement is untrue It is
the very reverse Of the truth, as will be
seen upon reference TO the brief mes.
sage of the President He declined to
declare Colorado a State, because her
action had not "conformed to the PFC
visions" and she had not compiled
with the conditions of the act pro
viding for admission. He said
"The proceedings in the second instance
for the formation Of "a state COVE nment
aaUing differed in time and mode from those
specified in the act of March u, 1864, !
have declined to issue the proclamation for
which provision is made in the filth section
of the law, and therefore submit the gues-
ton for the consideration and further action
of Congress"
There is no installing the meaning
Of this.
So here we have the radical Congress

Endorsement of Mexican Bonds.

A recent Washington dispatch says:
The Committee on Foreign relations
are yet earnestly urged to report in ia
yor of indorsing about fifty millions OF
Mexican bonds, 10 enable JuarCz 10
keep up the war against Maximilian,
and it is not improbable that they will
obtain favorable report therefor
The confirmation by the Senate Of
the nomination of Mr.. Campbell, as
Minister to the Republic Of Mexico, by
the unanimous vote of the Senate,
strengthens the impression that the
Congress and the President mean to
give unmistakable evidence that in no
way will the Empire Of Macmillan be
countenanced by our Government. The
Washington Republican, the reputed
organ of the President, told us the 9th
er day that, in no event, would Austri-
an soldiers be allowed to be landed in
Mexico If left 10 himself, Msximillan

More LegisIative Oppression.

Some inscriptions party tricksters
wishing to get possession of the power
and patronage Of the city Of Memphis,
prepared, what they termed, Metro-
politan Police Bill, and brought it here,
cut and dried. TO DO enacted into law
by our Legislature. The radical ma
jority in that body, ripe for any measure
TO Cypress the people and to place pelf
in the way Of those who pander to their
depravity, readily embraced this meas
ure, and passed it in the House.
In the Senate, as is believed, at the
suggestion Of men who have been kicked
out of municipal stations here, which
they disgraced, the bill was amended
SO IS to make its provisions applicable
to Nashville. Why this was done no
one has offered a sensible reason. The
municipal affairs of Nashville have
been, under the present administration,
ably conducted The city wss never
more quiet. even in seasons of profound
peace, and its affairs are improving
daily.
When Mayor Brown and the present
city Legislature succeeded to the gov
eminent Of the city, they found state
of society never so bad even in the
most troublesome periods Of the war
The recedipg tide Of war had left in
our midst large numbers Of Togues and
ruffians, whose depredations made il
dangerous to walk the streets at night
even in the most respectable and popu
lous portions Of the city. The city
authorities Immediately went to work
organized an efficient police, and in g
short whileythe evil spirits we're either
caught or driven away and the city
subsidized into universal quiet and Sc
curity So efficient have been the
Mayor and his police, they have drawn
encomiums from all classes of society
from the military authorities, and the
Freedmen's Bureau. Mayor Brown has
made it point TO permit no unworthy
person TO act as policeman. Drunken
ness or any immoral or disreputabl,
act insured prompt dismissal The frs
offense was never overlooked or ex
cused. Hence, policemen have beer
always upon their good behavior, ready
and efficient, and taking pride in tn,
execution of the law, and maintaining
the good character of the city.
The enactment of law, therefore
to take the police arrangements of ia,
city, out of the lawful custodians anC
commit them to the charge Of Commits
sioners appointed by Gov. Brownlow
is an insult to Nashville, and a mos
inexcusable outrage. No other Legs
lature that ever assembled in Tennes
see would have been guilty Of such &
piece Of stupidity, and folly. But it Ii
characteristic of the latter day legisla
ton OF the men at the capitol, VINO
having, by assumption and tyranny
deprived a large portion of the people
of their representation, take advantage
of their absence TO carry out their OWL
ignoble purposes Nothing better could
have been expected Of them. The
people of Nashville must submit They
cannot, for the present, do otherwise
But their submission will only be such
as will eventually make the miscre
ants who Cypress them, realize thai
there is an aveDging nemesis in the
short future Be patient, fellow-citi
zens, the evil day that is upon you can
not last long.

decree of the court. Judge Dwell be-
came greatly indignant, and refused to
proceed with his court so long as he
was thus menaced by the military. The
President has directed the Secretary of
War to instruct General Candy to re-
scind the order complained of, and to
allow the court unrestricted authority
in the matter The President remarked
emphaticalIy: " 1t has come to 8 pretty
pass if we cannot trust our United
States Judges"

The Horrors of Night Ride in a
Stage Coach.


Stage Coach.
The San Francisco Bulletin has the
following: "One day last week, as the
Los Angeles and San Jose stage coach
was travelling in the night between
San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, an
incident occurred which produced any
thing but pleasant impression among
the passengers. A lady was occupying
one OF the front streets, and the whole
company had been talking and singing
in the most sociable manner. After a
time the lady settled down as if to 20
to sleep, and one of the gentlemen
passengers asked her if she would not
have a pillow under her head. She
made no reply, and the company in
Guleed in another song As the song
ceased one of the passengers opened
the curtain so as to let in the moon
light, and looking down at the face of
the woman, exclaimed, Why, can it be
that she sleeps with her eyes open 2
Another passenger placed his hand
upon her forehead ard cried out, ''She
is dead ! The stage was stopped, and
the inanimate, pulseless form of the
lady carried out into the open air. She
was deathly cold, and her face was wet
with the cold sweat supposed to gather
only on the face Of the dying. After
so long time passing that all hopes Of
life was given up, she recovered under
the vigorous rubbing with whisky in
which all the passengers engaged, and
the journey was finally resumed 1t
turned out that the lady was afflicted
with heart disease, and had the dis
covery of her condition been delayed a
little longer, she would have been past
