The Nashville Union and Adce,4i-

vernon Brownlow for asking General
Thomas to place military guard at
the voting places in Nashville that
day. 1t says: ''This is one of the
Governors modes of creating capital,
and of manufacturing public senti,
ment abroad against the people who
see and condemn the error of his

JEFF. DAVIS, THE STATE PRISONER.
The New York Herald, commenting
upon the protracted and cruel i'm
prisonment Of jeff. Davis, without a
trial or any preparations for one, says
that the President is blamed for al
lowing him to be kept there; but it
is not the Presidents fault. The
fault lies with the Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court, who declines to
try Davis for high treason, because
he IS at loss where to try him so as
to secure his conviction. He will not
try him in Virginia, because he doubts
whether jury can be empaneled who
can be made to believe that the ac-
cused is or was traitor. He will not
try him in loyal State, like Penn
sylvanla, where overt acts of rebellion
were committed with the connivance
of Davis, because he is afraid that,
being so far removed from the actual
theatre of the rebellion, jury may
be moved to clemency. Congress
fails to provide n solution for this di-
lemma, and in the meantime the
prisoner lies incarcerated. In the
hands of the Chief Justice, or of Con
gress, rests the responsibility Of OBJ
tanning a decision in the case OF
Davis. That he is entitled to trial
is acknowledged on all hands, even
by the most radical That he must
be eternally imprisoned-in other
words, made to wear an iron mask,
according to the fashion of feudal
times, without a trial, is stigma
upon our republican institutions. Let
jeff. Davis be tried somewhere-in
the District of Columbia, in the
Capitol, if the Chief Justice cannot
find n more convenient or suitable
place-or let him be liberated under
proclamation of general amnesty.

THE CROPS. Wheat is reported to
have suffered during the severe wca-

at best, be light. The Northern and
Western sections of the District have
suffered most in this respect.
Oats have been partially killed by
the severe freezes of the winter. The
crop is not encouraging.
Fruit-especially the peach crop
was destroyed by the severe frosts of
last week. Very few trees have any

VIRTUE has Ir,s REWARD.

When JEFF. Davis was Grst impris.
oned he was kept in dungeon in
Fortress Monroe. fIis food was Of
the common kind, being such raions
us our soldiers always had issued to
them. jeff did not think this good
enough, and got petulant, refused TO
eat, and all in all, acting like spoil
cd child Such actions, however, had
their effect. Sympatbising friends
found that his health was falling on
account of close confinement, ctc.--
THIS was brought to the notice OF the
Executive, and straight way jeff was
granted "morc room" and feasted
sumptously; his scntinels were re
duccd in number and those retained
had to bear themselves lightly toward
the distinguished prisoner. Again,
he was granted the parole OF the
grounds of the Fortress during the
day, without guards. Perhaps it may
be thought that the matter ought to
stop there, but il docs not. A few
days ago an order was received from
Washington removing all guards
from him, both day and night. And
now the distinguished guest Of the
nation is free to enjoy life as he
pleases, being fGasted to suit his cpl
curcan tastes. Will the next move
be his rclcasc2
1t can hardly be believed that this
manner of treating man, bearing
such load Of guilt as Davis does,
is correct. He should not he abused;
yet it can hardly he considered prop
or to treat him as nm innocent man.
The smallest criminal in county Jail
is kept under a more vigorous dis
cipline than is jeff. Davis, the leader
of the rebellion. We do not favor
cruelty, nor would we want JEFF.
Davis treated according to his pre-.
cedent of treating prisoner of war
If accounts are true, Davis had pris.
ons at Richmond, Salisbury, etc,
and in them kept our soldiers, who
were so unfortunate as to fall into his
power, or what is the same, into the
hands of his officers. They were not
feastcd, their sentincls did not wear
light slippers that they might not dis.
turb the prisoners. Rather than that,
our soldiers were starved, they were
kept in close prisons, redolent with
disease and vermin, or in open yards
without clothes or covering, subject
to the heat or cold. Words would
fail to paint the horror of their
treatment. JEFF. Davis was respon-
sible for this and he is now being
feasted for it at the expense of the
nation. Very considerate.
