Interesting Debate.

We extract the following from a special
despatch to the Baltimore Sun, Of the 18th:
The House was interested to-day in brief
discussion on an anomalous proposition OF Mr.:
Lawrence, of Ohio, TO repeal the statute OF
limitations in trials Tor treason, and proVld-
ing thai any man guilty of treason may be
tried anywhere and a. any time. Mr. Law.
renee gave as reason for the passage OF, this
bill that unless it should be enacted we can
not hang! Jefferson Davis.ssSeveral members
took legal exception 10 Mr.. Lawrence's posi-
ton, but Mr.. Stevens vent still farther. He
said he would rather see every traitor IN the
country escape than see one of them hung by
law passed after his offence and for the pur-
pose Of hanging him. Mr.. Stevens denounc'
ed such legislation as utterly dnjust!hable
and discreditable He did not believe Mr..
Davis could be tried for treason, nor that ne
had been guilty Of teason. His offence was
that of belligerent, not of traitor. he
(Mr. Stevens) had not opposed the enorts
made to bring Mr.. DnVis to trial, but ne had
not favored them. But he was utterly op2-
posed to any legislation Of the kind proposed,
which would make thu mode, time Or place OF
trial different from what they were when the
offence was committed. MIR. Stevens rema1As
were listened to with profound attention. Ihe
bill went over.
There is something unusually refreshing
and hopeful in portions of the legal argument
of Mr.. Stevens. 1t gives assurance that some
of the monstrous propositions and legal ano-
males embraced in certain bills before the
Congress, and threatened to be brought be-
fore that body, will not, receive the unani-
nous support of the radical party aiier h, s si.'
in this session of Congress, seemed to be in
general favor, and only yesterday, very good
lawyer, Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, permitted his
party zeal to run away with his legal knowi-
edge and judgment 20 far as to introduce a
bill to make valid ard legal the acts of mill
tary commissions, which have already been
declared, By United States courts, invalid and
illegal, SO far as they have assumed jurisdie-
t.oa of civilians for civil offences, and for acts
d le after the close of the war.
