JEFFERSON DAVIS CASE The next term
Of the Circuit Court Of the United States for
Virginia will be held at Richmond in May.
At this term Jefferson Davis ought to be ar
raigned for high treason, but there is very
little probability Of his trial being had. Chief
Justice Chase objects to holding court
whilst martial law exists in Virginia, and un-
less the Chief Justice is present no court can
be held Virginia being in the Chief Justices
Crcuit.) 1t is understood that the counsel
for the prisoner will visit Richmond at the
commencement of the term, and will ask for
trial. An Indictment for treason has al
ready been found against Jefferson Davis,
but motion, it is said, will be made 70
quash it on account Of various informalities
The act of 1870, under which Davis is ar
raigned, declares that g no person or persons
shall be prosecuted, tried, or punished for
treason or other capital offence aforesaid, will
full murder or perjury excepted, unless the
Indictment for the same shall be found by a
grand jury within three years next after the
treason or capital offence aforesaid shall be
done or committed" If the present indict-
ment be quashcd, a new one must be found
before April 1868, the rebellion having end
ed in April, 1865 or else trial will be pre-
vented by the above provisions of the law
There is no probability Of a trial being had
in May, and the mystery Of what to d. with
the leader of the rebellion is now no nearer
solution than it was at the time of his cap
ture. PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

II HAVE NO PEOPLE BUT THE SOUTHERN
PEOPLE: HAVE NO STATE BUT VIRGINIA ,
These were the words of Claiborne Scott, an
African freedman, in public meeting at Sa-
lem on Saturday last. He was defining his
political position and giving expression to
his attachment to the people among whom
he had been raised, and his determination to
seek counsel and advice from them rather
than from foreigners, when he uttered the
precise expression above quoted-expres-
sions that equal in eloquence any portion of
the famous speech of Logan, cited by Mr..
Jefferson as the finest specimen Of native ell
oquence.
Let the sentiment Of Claiborne Scott, 81
haze no people but the Southern people; /
haze no State but Virginia" be the watch
word Of enfranchised freedmen throughout
the length and breadth Of the mother Of
States. Roanoke Times.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE SoUTH.-The
New York g Journal of Commerce. publish
es private letter from Carroll Parish, Lou
isiana, which speaks strong encouragement
for the South. Among other things, it says
that !" the South yielded last year about two
hundred million dollars (specie value) in cot
ton for export, the largest amount ever raised
in any one year before. At this ratio there
will be produced in fifteen years enough to
pay the National debt The planters Of Lou
isiana are much better prepared to make a
crop this year, for the reason that the labor
of the country is better organized; they have
plenty of good seed, also stock, tools, &c,
on hand, and which required large amount
last year to purchase. The Freedmen gen
orally have an interest in the crop, in lieu of
wages, say, about one-fourth. Under this
arrangement planters require but little cap
ital, only sufficient to purchase the necessary
supplies.

REASON WHY THE


Mate at W1LIUAK, lLASSA CHUSETT,S.
IS THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle It. frame i.
composed of SOLID PLATES. Nor jar can in
terere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Ctself
famous for its novelty us well as for its effective
ness and is therefore properly made The watch
is what all mechanism should be-ACCURATE
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL Ex-
ccpt some high grades, too costly for general use
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and rivctcd together,
and require constant repairs TO keep them i'll any
kind CT order. All persons who have carried
"ancrcs' "lepines'' and ''English Patent Le-
vers,' are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of enterprise more than
ten years ago. it was first object to make a
thoroughly gooU low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place these foreign imposi-
tions; the refuse OF foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaeable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
low well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that so many years of
public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL TIE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES and that no others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partmcnt of or business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, are at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CiiRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplcst facilities. We have erected an
addition to orr main building expressly for this
branch of our business, and have filled it with the
best worlincn in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per
form their work with cOnSummatc delicacy and
cxactncSS. Ihu choicest and most approved ma
tcrals only used and we challenge COMPARE
son between this rrad. of work and the fines t
imported thermometers. We do not pretend o
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
Watches but we do assert without fear of contra
diccon that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade are fully warranted, and this warrall-
tee is good at all times against agents
in all parts of the world.
CAUTION.-Thc public are cautioned to buy
only Of responsible dealers. All persons selling
countcrfeitS will be prosecuted.

ODE TO ABoB-TAILED CAT.

Felis Infelixl Cat unfortunate,
With nary narrative!
Canst thou no tale relate
OF how
(Miaow y
Thy tail-cnd came to terminate
So bluntlya
Didst wear it off by
Sedentary habits,
As do rabbits
Didst goa
Fishing with it,
Wishing with it
To" bob' for cat fish,
And got bobbed thyself?
Curses on that fish!
Didst lose it in kittenhood,
Hungrily chewingit!
Or, gayly pursuing it,
Did it make tangent,
Abrupt refrangcnt,
From thy swift circuit?
Did some brother Grayhack-
Yowling
And bowling
In nocturnal attack,
Splitting and staring,
Cussing and swearing,
Ripping and tearing,
Calling the " sassagc-t air'-
Abbreviate thy suffix
Or did thy jealous wife
Detect yc
In some sly filtration,
And after Caudal lecture,
Bite off thy termination?
And sarve ye right
Did some miscilicvous boy,
Some barbarOuS boy,
Some murlerous boy,
Eliminate thy fms
(ProbablyD
The wretch
The villain!
Cruelty spiliin'
Thy innocent blood
Let every cat scratch him,
Suck his breath,
Be his death,
Whcre'er they can catch him
Well, Bob, two courses are left,
Since thus of your tail you're berett
Tell your friends that by letter,
From Paris,
You have learned the style there Is
To wear the tail short.
And the briefer the better.
And for prompt imitation
Such is the passion,
That every Grimalkin will
Follow your fashion.
Or else,
Ii they laugh at the stump
That you wag ut your rump,
here are fur-shops where cat skins are re-
tailed
Hurry off, Robert Caudal, and be tailed.

For the Standard:
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Feb. 81, 1867.
To the Colored People Of North Carolina:
should have been glad if 1 could have
been with you all when the news reached
YOU of the passage of the reconstruction bill
by Congress.
We have great cause to congratulate each
other on the adoption of this measure. My
friends, great work is now before us rs a
portion of the loyal people of our beloved
State. We must educate ourselves to the clu
ties and responsibilities of our new relations.
BY our industry, by our love of knowledge,
by our sobriety, Ivy our economy, and
our obedience to law we must show our
attachment to the best interests of the
State and nation, and prove that we are not
unworthy Of the high privileges which the
Congress of the nation has conferred upon
US We are under an immense debt Of graf
itude to those wise and just men, who, moved
by a sense of justice and humanity. have en-
abled us to undertake the task of self-goV
eminent. To this high position we are sud-
denly called by the voice Of God through
the fundamentally of man; that God who
has heretofore mercitully cared for us as
people. and who will not desert us as long as
we submit ourselves humbly to Him. and
take for our guide the counsel and in unc-
tons of His Word. Let US give thanks to
Him who has delivered us from oppression
and exalted us to the dignity of selfgov
erning people. Let us accept our new reIa-
tons quietly and thankfully, making no use
less assumptions and speaking no great
swelling words of vanity" While we main
tain all our rights, and abate nothing of our
manhood AS IL people, let us do nothing to
re kindIe the slumbering fires of prejudice
between the two races Remember. we are
on trial before the tribunal OF the nation and
of the world, that it may be known, and go
into history, whether We are worthy to be
free, self-governing people. Let us move
with caution. Let every step be guarded
and every word be weighed. We have strong
friends in eur beloved State who must not be
turned against US, but around whom we
must prepare to rally, and by whom we must
stand.
Ny stay North has been longer than at
first contempla ed, but l trust l have been
proIitably engaged in our service. l shall re-
turn soon, to labor with you for the good of
our race
May the God of Liberty and Justice guard
and guide you in the right way.
