The Republican County ticket, with
the exception of Myron w. Bailey, can
didate for Judge Of Probate, and
Bradley Barlow, one of the candidates
for Senator, is elected 10y large ma
jority. Victor Atwood takes Mr.. Bar
lows place, and the present Judge of
Probate, Hon. A. j. Samson, is elect
ed instead of Mr.. Bailey, by small
majority. We do not remember of
ever before seeing SO many split tick
cts. Both Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Sam
sons name appeared on the Democrat
ic ticket, which was circulated by prom
inent democrats. MI Samson's largo
plurality in Fairfield is due to the
{ Democrats. Mr.. Barlow's name was
, printed on some Of the Democratic
tickets, but comparatively few found
their way into the ballot box. We print
elsewhere the vote, in the several
, towns, by majoritios, for Judge Of
, Probate and Senator. We omit the
vote for the other Senators and Coun-
ty Officers as it does not vary much
from the GubOnatorial vote. In

lean Senator, f. r. Hard, and the

The DAVIS Trial and Tribulation.

The DAVIS Trial and Tribulation,
Mutterings of dissatisfaction are
still heard because of the continued
failure to try Davis for the crime
of treason. Whether his arraign-
ment and trial by jury do or do not
take place, is of the smallest conse-
quence. What is of consequence is
already settled--that his conviction
can never be brought about. Con
vict a resident of Richmond, with a
jury Of Virginians, Of treason, be-
cause he claimed to owe a higher
allegiance to Virginia than to the
Federal Government Convict a
conspirator, at the headquarters Of
a conspiracy, with jury of fellow
conspirators2 Find guilty of
crime, at treason's capital, the reb-
els chosen chief, with twelve men,
themselves guilty Of the crime Of
treason? No, never! To believe
this, or even to discuss the posi-
bility of this, indicates q degree of
verdancy almost incredible. Eleven
twelfths of the inhabitants Of Rich
mond county were in the rebellion
against the United States. A jury
selected in the usual way, on the
question Of acquittal or conviction,
would bear this proportion. AS
well might you try to convict an
italian brigand Of the murder Of an
American traveller, before a jury Of
brigands, or the Sepoy murderers
Of the English families at Delhi, be-
fore jury Of Sepoys, as attempt to
convict an Arnold ora Davis before
twelve men who have themselves
been traitors.
Two blunders have placed the
Government in its present ridicu-
lous position. When Davis was first
captured he should have been
promptly tried by court martial and
as promptly shot. AT that time
there would not have been a word
raised against this disposition Of
him, in this or in foreign countries.
The next blunder was in not try |
ing him for treason in the State Of
Pennsylvania, where he had levied
war against the United States, with
the army Of which he was com
mander-in- chief When Attorney |
General Speed, who was no lawyer,
s gned the extraordinary opinion
that Davis could only be tried with
in his own realms and by the par
takers in his crime, he signed the
document which exempted Davis
from all pains. Ohio State Jour.
