is, that the agents of the associated press.

much truth to suit the purposes OF the nor

In Alabama, a negro has been arrested
who confesses that he was the leader OF an
insurrectionary plot in Bullock county
He claims to have come from Illinois, and

In Columbus, Mississippi; In Perote,
Alabama, and in Elberton, Georgia, bands
Of negro Garibaldians, organized to plum
der and rob, have recently been suppress
ed by armed force. In Arkansas, grand
juries have petitioned General Ord to pro-
tect white men against the propensity OF
loyal Ethiopians to steal their cattle and
mules. The Rev. Colonel Jacques, for
merly of Illinois, and whose loyalty no ia
Goblin ought to doubt, is now on his way
to Washington to represent the state OF at
fairs in Arkansas to the government. He
is now planting in Arkansas. He says no
mans life is safe no matter from where he
comes. The Ethiopian is no respecter OF

from his reverence the ex-Colonel jacques
as from the worst ''rcbel' in Arkansas.
The only question he considers relates to
the value of mules, and the facility OF
stealing them. 1t is enough for. him to
know that he il an American voter. II the
right to vote does not carry with it the
right to steal mules from white men, how
is an Ethiopian to pursue happiness

PERsoNAL.-We print in another.place an
account of banquet given at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, to J. p. C. Cottrill, Esq, for
merly of Montpelier, on the occasion Of his
leaving Milwaukee to establish himself in
the practice of his profession in New York
city. 1t is not often that lawyer SO young
as Mr.. COttrill, has won so high rank at the
bar has been conceded to him in Wiscon-
sin, and this banquet shows. The gen
tlemen who took that way and occasion to
testify their respect were among the leading
professional and business men of Milwaukee,
who have known Mr.. C. as lawyer, prose-
cutting attorney in Milwaukee, and citizen,
and their praise of him for his fidelity and
ability in public and private life is as fully
deserved it was heartily given. Mont
pelier has lost many sons who have emigrated
to find fame and fortune in other states, but
she has sent out few who have borne them
selves more worthily or more successfully
than Mr.. Cottrill and while we regret that
we cannot keep such men at home, we yet
feel just pride in their triumphs in other
fields of labor.

The Trial of Jeff. Davis.

There is most disreputable evasion some
where in respect to the trial of jeff. Davis.
The latest announcement we get is, that Chief
Justice Chase positively declines to preside
at the approaching term of the I. s Court
at Richmond, Virginia, on the ground that
civil law i'll that state is dependent upon the
military power and it is probable that
Judge Underwood will find some excuse for
not trying Davis. \ writ of habeas corpus
has been sued out returnable before Judge
Underwood, demanding the release of Davis /:
and the court can hardly refuse either to try
or to release him. We suppose the writ pro-
ceeds upon the theory that Davis is in fact in
military custody, and that he cannot legally
be held now by the military power. 1t is
rumored-though there is no probable fcun-
dation for the story-that the President will
pardon Davis unless he is brought to trial
at the next term Of the court
We do not pretend to determine who is
most to blame for the refusal thus far to
bring Davis to trial. His counsel have been
ready TO proceed for more than year The
government has all the evidence against him
1t needs to prove him guilty Of treason. if
rebellion was treason. The objection Of the
Chief Justice might have been obviated long
ago, if anybody had desired to obviate it. bv
indicting Davis in Tennessee, which is a state
exempt from military rule. Yet no progress
is made in the prosecution. 1t looks now as
though the Chief Justice did not mean to
10 nt I
evidently means that the Chief Justice shall
try him, or he shall not be tried il is GER
tainly plain enough that his trial would have
been commenced months since, if the govern
ment in all its departments had seriously
attempted to get over the difficulties in the
way of the prosecution
This conduct of officials at Washington is
cOwardly and disgraceful in the extreme
Davis should either be tried or released 1t
is apparent that the climate at Fortress Mon
roe is not unfavorable to his health. and in
spite of the lugubrious prophecies of his
friends, Davis is not going to die at present ::
and the officials who are at their wits ends
to know what to do with the elephant. can
not reasonably expect providential shorten
ing of his life to relieve them from their en-
barrassment If they had the conveniences
and helps which used to be employed by
Philip H. Of Spain, with his wickedness.
they might secretly dispose of their state
prisoner, but not having either the instru-
ments or the wickedness necessary for sue
cessful secret murder, they can hardly expect
to be in better situation tomorrow or next
month, than now. Their conduct has no in
telligent defenders either North or South
and they should persist in it no longer. If
Davis cannot be tried in Virginia, let him be
indicted at once in Tennessee, and then let
his trial proceed. The present attitude Of
the government is too shameful to be longer

make trade of politics, and who care infin-
itely less for the welfare of the common
wealth than for their selfish ends. We have
heard much scolding in years past about the
conduct Of mass conventions controlled by
persons who did not fairly represent any con-
stituency but themselves, and we hope that
class of honest grumblers will take the occa-
sion offered by this Convention to choose
delegates who will serve their country, and
not themselves. Scolding after convention
doesn't amount to much, but little time
and activity before convention, in securing
the choice of honest, intelligent, wide-awake
delegates, may easily reno all occasion for
grumbling-
