jefferson Davis was taken to Richmond on
Saturday, and to-day will be produced by Gen.
Burton in court in obedience to the writ of habeas
corpus. 1t is expected that he will be released
from military custody by order of Judge I'm
derwood, Immediately he rcarrested under an
indictment of treason, and that the District-At
tOrney will ask for a pOstpOnement of his
trial. If this is done, his counsel will demand
his release upon bail, and the point for Judge
Underwood to decide is whether treason is
bailable Offensc.

New-York tribune., 1867-05-13

New-Jersey, dishonOred by the white clause
in her Constitution, may take some credit from
the recent speech of one of her Senators. Like
his colleague, Mr.. Cattell Senator Freling-
huysen believes that the cOlored man should be
as free to vote in New-Jersey as in South
Carolina. Mr.. Frelinghuysen states his convic-
tions with admirable emphasis. The force of his
point with reference to State and Federal con-
troll over the subject of the franchise will not
be missed. He says remarkably that while
"the right to regulate the qualifications Of
voters is with the State, and not the Federal
Government, yet, as the qualification Of
electors for Representatives in Congress is by
"the Federal Constitution the same as tho
qualification of electors for the members of the
most numerous branch of the State Legisa-
"ture. the Federal Government is intrusted
"wth the qualification Of voters We are glad
that acting in spirit with her Senators, a number
of public-spirited citizens of New-Jersey have
just issued call for a Republican State Con-
ventOn to be held at Trenton on the 4th Of
June. The business of the Convention will be
to discuss the principle of impartial suffrage.
1t is to be hoped and expected that the Re-
publicans of New jersey will he finally and
fully committed to change in the DISTINGUISHING
Constitution of the State.

advice that the negroes. out of pure pref
erence, ought to vote against the North. We
do not feel convinced that any large number
OF sanguine South Carolinans are willing 10
rcnounce the pleasures of citizenship for tho
sake of Gov. Perry and not dangerous
majority. of freedmen, or that the freed
men are going TO accept the imDert-
heAJ dose OF counsel offered by Gov. Orr
and send their enemies TO Congress. It
Is doubtless well for the colored men
to cultivate good relations with their whits
neighbOrs; but has it ever entered into the
heads OF Governors and other advisers that A
block majority Is worth a little white concilia-
tiong AT all events the blacks ought not %
want for multitude of Northern coun-
selors in the present uncertainty OF
Southern oracles, Their first exercise Of
the franchise is rudmentary education Of
vast importance; and to make il radically in
telligent ought to be the care of the North.
The South is fair field, and now happily
free one, for the plow of Reform.
Every friend of the North sent thither will
now be welcomed with more than plantation
hospitality, and find himself surrounded by
friends, tried and true. To the handful Of
men sent into the South, our National Com
mittee should add scores of our best speakers;
and their mission should not end till the South
is humanized and made familiar with the ideas
and purposes of the North We think this is
policy; but it is also necessity; and, moreover,
it is a duty which we owe to our friends and
allies

The latest accounts from the interior of
Mexico report the continuance of fighting at
Queretaro. The city was not yet in the hands
of the Liberals, but it was expected that 1t

was also shortly expected, as Diaz was daily

The slight threatcnings and beginnings of
riot in Richmond, on Saturday do not indicate
serious trouble. There seems to have been
white men in that city who have given the col

have been foolish enough to take. Contrasted
with this local and partial disorder is the gen
era excellent and moderate behavior of the
freedmen throughout the South. by which they

AT once 10 the Tobacco Stores Gentlemen by
custom have made this distinction in favor of
the weed, and why not so honor the article OF
Tea the most delicate OF all articles belonging
70 the culinary departments. Tea is one OF
the oryest articles kept by the Grocer and a
powerful absorbent, consequently coming in
contact, when open, with many articles
usually exposed for sale, must have a delete
Ilous enect upon an article SO delicats. This
IN a great degree may account for the great
outcry in the past in regard to good Tea In
Inls city: The remedy is now before you.

tole their entire attention and in all con ndence
ask fair trial. 1t does not re quire life time
TO inform yourself in regard to the qualities
OF any single article. We warrant our goods

uon, In all cases keep our Teas in the very
