WILSON'S RESOLUTION To TRY, OR
RELEASE MIR. DAVIS.

The following are the preamble and reso-
luton in full, proposed by Senator Wilson,
of Massachusetts, on the 22d inst:
Whereas, Jefferson Davis, a citizen of
the State Of Mississippi, was captured by a
military force in the service Of the United
States on the llth day OF May, 1865, and
has since been held in confinement as a pri-
soner Of war and as a prisoner Of State in
Fortress Monroe, Virginia and
Whereas, The said Jefferson Davis
stands charged on the highest authority with
the heinous crime Of conspiracy to murder
the late President of the United States,
Abraham Lincoln, and is also indicted for
treason and
Whereas, the said Jefferson Davis has
persistently declared his innocence of the
charges preferred against him, and, through
his legal advisers, by all means kaoun to The
Ia,r has sought and demanded a speedy and
public trial by due process of law before a
civil tribunal Of competent jurisdiction !;
therefore
Resolved, BY the Senate, the House of
Representatives concurFing, that the longer
confinement of tbs said Jefferson Davis,
without 4 trial, or the assignment of a spe-
ciic time for a trial, is not in accordance
with the demands Of justice, the spirit Of
the laws and the requirements Of the con-
s!itution; and that in common Justice,
sound public policy and the national honor
unite in recommending that the said JeffeI-
son Davis be brought TO a speedy and pub-
lie trial, or that he be released from con-
finement on bail or on his own recogni-
zanCe."

NEW YORK DIsPATCHEs.

animation Temporarily Suspended

Gen. Sheridnn's Order Ne 8, etc
New YORK, March 2S.-Aaron Jones
has challenged Michael MeCoole, of St.
Louis, TO fight within two or three months
for one thousand dollars. Rumor has it
that Joe Coburn and John c. Heenan are
to eight for ten thousand dollars and the
championship of America.
The Times Washington special says the
Judiciary Committee of the House have
temporarily suspended the examination of
impeachment witnesses, but will resume
their labors about the first of May, when,
whether Congress is in session or not, all
its members have been notified by the
chairman to be here. II is asserted by
some of Butler's friends that the eighteen
pages spoiiated from Booths diary con-
tanned evidence regarding preparations for
the assassination, and the reasons for the
abandonment of the abduction plot. The
fact is, however, all the evidence that has
ever been ELECTED in regard TO this diary
goes to show it is now in precisely the same
condition as when taken from Booths
body. Detective Baker once affected n
knowledge Of the contents of these missing
pages, but when brought TO a pointed ex-
animation, could remember nothing he had
read.
Among the nominations sent to the Sen
ate to-day, the 9th, were the following:
Gen. II. w. Slocum to be naval officer of
New York, and j. c. q. Kennedy to be
commissioner of agriculture, vice Newton.
The Herald's Washington special says,
az to the impeachment matter, the oldest
member of the Judiciary Committee, both
in parliamentary experience and in years,
has said within the last six hours that the
committee will notify all persons TO bring
forward their evidence, and intimated that
there were none such before the committee
at present This seems to be the opinion
of all who have the most intimate relations
with the chairman Of that committee
The Tribune's New Orleans special says:
Gen. Sheridan's Order No. 5, Just out, in
sweeping from office the rioters Attorney
General Heron, Mayor Monroe and Judge
Abell, and substituting good and loyal men,
is received by the Unionists with JOY and
by the nullifyers with dismay.
The grand army and Butler organization,
representing five thousand voters, recon-
mended ii. G. Yarmouth for Mayor, but
he declined, and a second agreement fail
ing the choice remained with Gen. Sheri-
dan. Such changes are thought to revive
the chances Of the campaign, as the city
may carry the State.
The Tribune's Washington special denies
the statement that Wilson's resolution to
release jefferson Davis will be reported
favorably upon by the Judiciary Commit
tee. The resolution was-not referred to
that committee, nor any other, but lies on
the table of the Senate.

THE FUNERAL OF ARrEmUs WARD

THE FUNERAL OF ARfEMUS WARD
The Savage GLIB Of london, Of which
Artemus was a member, took charge of the
funeral ceremonies. Referring TO the pro-
ceedings, the London Morning Star says:
1t was resolved to bury him temporarily
on Saturday, the 9th, at KensaI Green
Cemetery. Professor Maurice was to have
ofhciated at the funeral, but telegraphed
his inability to leave Cambridge in time.
1t was therefore decided that the rector of
the parish should perform the ceremony,
and that Mr. Conway should be requested
to address Mr.. Wards friends afterward.
The expenses of the funeral were under
taken by the Savage Club of which Arte-
mus was a member. One of his English
ex ecutors is Mr.. T.. W. Robertson, author
of Ours" Society" etc. and the other is
Mr.. Hingst on, who had for some time
acted as his agent
No American who has ever visited Eng
land has ever made more friends than
Charles F. Browne. He had won the af-
fection and regard of the whole hterai of
London, and his funeral was attended by
all the principal editors, correspondents
and reporters Of the London press All
the principal actors also attended, and the
sorrow and grief manifested could not have
been greater had Artemus been own
brother to every man present.
The remains of Artemus Ward will, by
his own express desire, be forwarded to
America for interment. During the whole
Of his illness, while sensible, his great de-
sire was to reach his native land, and die
in his mothers arms. This happiness was
denied him, but his bones win rest in
American soil

suffrage to all who can read and who pay
a certain amount of taxes, and / agree that
ali, white as well as black, who do not pos.
sess these qualifications shall be excluded.
I would not take this right from any who
have heretofore exercised it, but | wish to
see an educational and property qualifica-
tion for voters adopted for the future. Let
this qualification bear on white and black
alike, and while it will cut off from voting
some of both races, it will be strong in-
ducement to all to seek education and to
obtain for themselves real and tangible
interest in .he State. 1t will serve 10 ele-
vate all classes, and contribute not only to
the material prosperity Of the State, but to
the increase Of virtue and education among
her people. No one under tWenty-one
years of age Is allowed to vote, nor can
foreigners do 50 until they have been in
this country some years.

An INTERIOR VIEW AT THE CAPI-
T0L.-THE GOVERNOR AND THE
GECRETAuV

A correspondent Of the Memphis Ap-
peal, writing from this city, gives the
following gossippy exposition Of the rela-
tions between the Governor and Secre-
tary Of State
Don't believe any stories that you may
hear about our Radical State government
not being entirely harmonious. There has
to be two sides to a cake There is always
an upper and a lower crust to pies
and parties. Everybody can't be more
Radical than everybody else. In the very
nature of things our excellent Governor
can be more furiOusly Radical than Thad-
deus Stevens or any other man. On the
other hand, Mr. Secretary Fletcher is the
brains Of oar present State government.
He deserves the credit Of three-fourths Of
the sensible things done at Nashville dur
ing the last two years. He don't get that,
but he is blamed by those who don't know
him with all the meanest and most unwise
measures that have been adopted. An able
lawyer and sensible man, he couldn't be
as Radical as many members of the Legis-
lature. He has been a kind of scape-goat
TO bear the sins of others into the wilder
ness.
If / was Governor | would myself like
to have an able Secretary who would get
no credit for what he suggested, and would
be blamed for all that / did wrongly.
Gov. Brownlow is not to blame. He is too
independent and self-confdent to wish to
take any credit not justly his due; but be
is surrounded by q pack of hounds who
would chase him ii he stood between them
and their game, and Fletcher is too mod
crate to suit them. He don't howl for
more blood. He don't keep all the time
snarlIng at those who are sorry they ever
were Rebels. Well, a short time ago
brOther-in-law, or some other relative of
the Secretary, was pressed for an office.
He was afterward elected, and then the
Governor, poisoned by these who want to
use him, refused to give a commission TO
the young man, who was every way worthy
and qualified This slight, added TO the
modification of having TO father numerous
blunders in and outside the Legislature,
would have induced the Secretary TO resign,
bat he would not crafty his reptile enc
mics. He earnestly desires quiet and re-
lief from the cares of Office. He will be
glad when he can, like Cincinnatus, culti-
vate his little farm. There is no breach
between BrownlOw and Fletcher One is
extreme, the other moderate-that is all.
Yours, ID.

TIE Republican newspapers are already
growing over the Columbia (South Caro-
linal meeting; and over the implied will
lingness Of the South to accept the Sher-
man military reconstruction bill. The
Radicals do not want negroes and whites to
hold amicable meetings, nor do they want
the Southern people to accept this or any
other bill. What Is wanted is to keep the
South ont Of the Union, so that radicalism
will not lose its maiorities in the North.
The only reconstruction bssisupon which
the Radicals will willingly admit the South,
will be one in which all classes shall forever
be debarred from voting unless they will
sgree to vote the Radical ticket Chicago
