THE DAVIS TRIAL.

The all-absorbing topic Of interest in all
| circles now in the capital, as well as in the
Northern and Southern States, is the pro
ceedings which are now at hand in the
case Of JEFFERSON DAVIS. So far there
have been no definite conclusions reached
regarding the disposition as to which Judge
UNDERwooD's court will arrive, though in
some well-informed circles it is believed
that the trial will not take place this week;
but an effort will be made to delay it,
which the counsel for the prisoner will re,
sist-to what effect remains to be seen.
Prominent parties-the antipodes Of the
ex-President Of the late Southern Confed
eracy in almost every essential principle
Of social and political character-are stand
ing ready to declare against his further
imprisonment without trial, and not among
the least Of these is the Hon. HORACE
GREELEY, who, it is understood, has gone t
Richmond to offer bail in defence Of hi
position in the case Of Mr.. DAVIS.
A few days at least will develop much
of what is now subject Of great uncer
tainty in this important trial. Corps Of
newspaper correspondents are in Richmond
in order to be present at the proceedings,
and no matter what action is taken it will
form theme Of the highest interest in the
annals Of this nations history, worthy to
be placed on the same page where are re-
corded the greatest judicial cases of the
past half dozen years.

OUR PAPER.

As q general rule il is best To let your
works and deeds praise you, and to say as
little by way Of Boosting as possible, still,
there are times and occasions when one is
justified in calling public attention to his
business, and in seeking public patronage
and public favor. That time with us is
now. We can safely say that the REruBLr-
CAN is rapidly increasing its circulation,
and as an advertising medium il will soon
be second to none, and we call the atten-
ton Of the commercial and business men
Of Washington and Geofgetowr TO 'fhis
fact. Our paper is being sought after
by the reading public because its local
columns are always filled with an interest
ing and timely record Of current events as
they daily transpire among us. No ex.
pense or labor is spared to obtain accurate
information Of everything occurring, and
every portion Of our two cities is visited
by our local reporters, and these gentle
men by their industry and hard labor day
and night are determined to let nothing
escape which in its character can interest
our citizens. We have long felt that q
FIRST class local paper in Washington was
o desiderdtum. And everybody who reads
the RErUBLIcAS-and its readers are rap.
idly increasing-is certain to confess that
our journal meets this want completely.
The REPUBLICAN is not political, but inde.
pendent; but its locals will be its specially;
hence as an advertising sheet it can have
no superior. 1t is already acknowledged
to be the very best local paper in Wash
ington, and it will continue to merit this
designation.
We ask, then, that the business men and
merchants Of this District sustain us. Will
not all those who desire to see Washington
great city take hold with us and give us
their countenance while we labor 10 this
end. We must induce Congress to aid us
by liberal appropriations, and the best
way to do this is to work for ourselves
We may conclude by saying that the Re-
PUBLICAN will be devoted to every interest
which can benefit Washington.

PRESIDENT sJOaNsON's VISIT
NORTH.

Several gentlemen called upon the Pres
dent on Saturday to urge his acceptance
Of the invitation Of the Masons OF Massa-
chusetts to visit Boston on the Oath Of June,
on the occasion Of the dedication Of the
new Masonic temple Just about being COM
pleted in that city. Among the number
was q committee from the Knights Tenn
plar Of this city, rendering to President
JOHNSON an escort Of two hundred Of their
members 10 accompany him to Boston and
back. The President thanked the com
mittee for the compliment the Knights
Templar were pleased to pay him. He
expressed \ strong desire to visit Boston
on the occasion referred TO, and expected
to be able, some days since, TO determine
the matter finally, and has only delayed
doing SO because Of the pressure Of the
public business, and especially in the At
torney Generals Department That min
lister has been SO much engaged, OF late,
for the Government in the Supreme Court,
and absorbed with the details Of the ar
raignment OF JEFFERSON DAVIS at Rich
mond, that he has not been able to make
his report to the President on the subject
Of reconstruction, the main point in which
is the question Of Acknowledgement raised
by Gen. SHERIDAN. Its expected now that
Mr.. SrASBxRr will be ready to give his
opinion SO that Cabinet action can be had
on II tomorrow. In that event the Presi'
dent will be able to determine at once
whether be will 60 to Boston or not.
A very earnest desire is manifested by
the leading men OF Massachusetts and
New England, without regard to party, to
have the President visit that section. We
hope he will go. The people Of New Eng
land think and act for themselves, and
know how TO respect the first citizen
Of the Republic, though they may differ
from him politically. When New Eng.
land opens to the President her public
marts, her great exchanges, her immense
warehouses, her common schools and higher
institutions Of learning and Of charity, her
/ vi uINb uhh pSiChSCoI hSA
yards and machine and mechanic shops,
her great manufacturing establishments,
her social avenues leading to the most cul,
tivated society in the common as well as
the higher walks Of life, her rock.ribbed
but adorned and well cultivated fields,
her farm houses, beautiful cottages and
costly palaces, her thriving villages and
equally thriving and magnificent cities,
her mountain scenery, her lovely valleys,
her grand, deep and rapid rivers, by the
power of whose waters millions Of spindles
sing the song Of industry, eclipsing the
weavers of the world; her great commerce
and her unequalled fisheries; and he be
holds her ever active, intelligent, frugal,
but yet always benevolent, out-spoken,
freedom-loving people, he will wonder why
he never visited New England before. We
repeat, we sincerely hope that the Presi-
dent will decide to 60 to New England.

AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.

The reform bill in the British Parlia
ment has been amended that rs, sort Of
compromise amendment has been attempt
ed and carried through. The proposition
to amend came from Mr.. DIsRAKLI, and his
bill was earned in the House Of Commons
hy sixty-six majority for the Government.
It is a measure, as it stands, that is de-
nounced by the Liberals and Reformers in
and out of Parliament. Mr.. GLADSTONE
eharacterizes II in these expressive words,
as "a shallow, transparent, dissimulating
measure" He declares it to be mere
"pretence, and despairs of its effecting any
good purpose in extending the franchise"
JoHS BRIGHT delivered telling rebuke
against this bill, as also against the men
who were chiefly instrumental in putting
it through. He said that the Derby bill
was the most unjust and offensive measure
ever submitted to the Commons Of Eng
land.
The bill was defended by Mr.. RoEpucx
and Mr.. DIsRAELI, but according to present
appearance the people will clamor so loud
and so earnestly for something better that
Government will ere long, find itself obliged
to yield. The Derby Ministry would act
wisely if it were to yield gracefully at once;
but it will not. 1t is always the blunder
with what the world esteems great states
manship to hold back with dogged obsti-
macy from doing q good thing, till COM
PEELED to move in the right direction to
save itself from utter overthrow. This is
craftsmanship in the estimation Of many;
by-and-by it will be called stupidity and
mulish folly.
If we are to credit the last cable dis.
patches the war cloud has entirely blown
over, and the skies are bright. 1t is now
quite certain that the peace OF Europe is
not to be disturbed. We have not doubted
from the start, as our readers know, what
would be the upshot Of this dispute for the
possession of Luxemburg between France
and Prussia. The great powers convened
by their representatives in London have
deliberated and spoken, and Lord STANLEY
has announced in the Commons that war
will be avoided, and that peace will be
maintained. So that all those people who
saw In the active preparations which France
and Prussia were making inevitable war,
may now conclude that preparing for war
Is not always certain to lead to it i; in fine,
these preparations are more likely, as a
general thing, to preserve peace.
We do not look for war in Europe TO.

"THE MoSTANAs, OR UNDER THE STARS
CARLETON has just brought out under this title
4 beautifully written story Of American life, BY
Mrs. sALLIE J. HANCOCK, Of Kentucky. The
plot Is we'll conceived and admirably developed.
The scenes and incidents are laid partially
amidst the stirring events Of the war Of the re-
bellion, and throughout the whole Is expressed I
sentiment Of genuine loyalty, creditabio to ont
who was reared under the teachings Of th,
staunchest supporters Of Kentucky's greatest
noblest statesman. The authoress has already
attained celebrity for tho mingled sweetness
gracefulns" and vigorousness Of her writings
both in prose and poetry. In this respect "Th,
Montana" is masterpiece. It Is readabls
and entertaining, approaching near enough tc
the sensational not to bs disgusting to even the
most fastidious and never becoming prosy to tho
seeker for excitement.
