States District Attorney for Virginia. are here in
consultation with the Attorney General relative
to the trial of jeff. Davis in November. Mr.
Chandler. who is the prosecuting officer in the
case. will it is understood be governed in his
action entirely by the advice of Mr. Stanhery.
Judge Underwood and Mr. Chandler both Of
opinion that sufficient testimony can be produced
to convict Davis, provided the case is allowed to
take the regular course. without any interference
upon the part Of the authorities here. The
friends of Davis. including his bondsmen, assert
that he will put in an appearance at court when
wanted. and that he is not only willing, but anx-
ious to go through regular trial on the indict-
ment against bin. Mr. Chandler has us yet re-
ceived no definite instructions, the case being
still under considerations

The ntimations that the Executive Depart

delivered to the Judicial authorities in May the
Federal Executive has taken action in his
case"

New YORK. Oct. 1.-General Sheridan visited
the Stock Gold Board this morning. There was
wild enthusiasm. After it subsidized, the mem
bers sung "od John Brown" greatly to the Gen
erals satisfaction.
Why all this parade over an insignificant man
like Sheridan What has he done than
thousands of men of lower grade and in the ranks
of the Federal army? 1t is because President
johnson silly enough to remove him after he
had done all the harm he could in Louisiana aud
Texas. But the members Of the Stock Gold
Board of New York sung "old John Brown
and the Generals satisfaction great! How
ridiculous.

ball was not cut out, and neither is his sight

u From the way some of the citizens of the
North talk and their Represe natives act. it might
be supposed that no one there was unwilling to
associate with colored people on terms of equality
in every respect But such is not the case. The
Anglaize (Ohio) Democrat gives an account of
considerable excitement in that neighborhood be-
cause negroes insisted on sending their children
to the same school with white children. The
School Board turned the negroes out and resolved
that the races should not be mixed in that way.
And neither will they grant the same political
rights to negroes that their Representatives
quire Southern people to allow them.
THE TAX ON LIQUOR.-Mr H. Fl. Helper,
the Assessor of Internal Revenue in this District,
has written letter to the Commissioner at Wash
ington suggesting much better mode of taxation
than the present one. If his plan adopted
the people would understand it better. and there
would be less difficulty in collecting the tax. Mr.
Helper says:
Il am thoroughly convinced that there is but
one practical, fair and satisfactory way of reach
ing the distillers throughout the United States.
If you will issue circular letter to the Assessors
of every district in the States and Territories
quring them 10 furnish you with a complete
census of every still owned in their several dis
tricts. together with the names of the rea!
ostensibe owners thereof. and the capacity of
each and every such still. will undertake to
quaint you in less than "a hours how a tax of
SlOO.OO0 600, in my opinion. can be realized per
annum. by imposing special tax on each still
according to its capacity. thereby celebrating
60 or more sections of complicated law relative
to the assessment and collection of the tax
spirits per gallon. My plan would not only OBJ
iiterate law, but also smuggling fraud inspectors,
labor. heavy expense to Government, and general
decentralization of the taxpayers and officers Of
the Revenue-of the whole country. in fact. AS
a matter of infornaton, think the Department
ought to be put in possession of the census re-
ferred to-"

TIE PARnoNrNG PowER.-A gentleman at
Raleigh. for whom have great respect, writes
us suggesting that we did Gov. Worth injustice
last week in our notice of paragraph stating
that the Governor had pardoned negro who had
been convicted of larceny. We protested against
the pardon of rogues. We could not understand
how, after fair trial and conviction, the Grim
inal could be justly relieved from punishment
But in justice to the Governor give the state
ment of our friend at Raleigh as follows:
The application for L;lly's pardon made
by the prosecuting attorney at the trial. and
handed to the Governor by the Judge, in person.
who presided at the trial and passed the
tence. with his own unqualified endorsement
written thereon. The pros. cutting attorney rep
resented that he had already undergone portion
of his sentence, and that the ends of justice had
been attained. i'll that the prisoner. (wh"m he
had undergoing his srntence.) had been
thoroughly ..cured.'' In addition to this, he rep
resented that unless he released he would
lose his entire crop of cotton and Corn. which he
had worked industriousl y to make and his wife
and children become charge upon the county.
| think know you well enough to feel assured
that under the same circumstances. had you been
armed with the pardnniDg power. you would have
granted the same pardon.
If there be any portion of Governor Worth's
administration upon which more than any other
he may safely challenge investigation, it is that
of his exercise Of the parduning power. He has
adopted it a rule to grant no pardon except
upon the endorsement of either the Judge. Solici-
tor or Jury-the recommendation of the first be-
ing required where question of lap only is in
volved. and that of the two last when questions
of fact are involved-and 10 man has ever received
u pardon at his hands upon promscu"us appli-
cation of citizens only. And in cases in which
the least doubt arises t" the propriety of grant
ing pardons. he invariably requires the combined
endorsement of Judge. Solicitor and jury
Taking for granted that these statements are
correct, we feel that ought not to object to
the pardon of such persons. We are in favor of
helping and relieving any negro who works
honestly for living.

How JUDGE UNDERWOOD WILL DISPOSE
OF Mr. DAvIs.-Rev. Paul Bagley says be told
President johnson 10 the following language of
an interview between himself and Judge Tn.
derwood
Judge Underwood said ne was sure Mr.
Davis would be brought to trial in November,
aud that under existing instructions, in refer
ence to jurors, a jury would be enpanoelled that
would convict him; that he did not wish to see
any blood shed, because he was opposed to cap
ital punishment anyhow, aud that Congress, in
the midst of the war, bad reduced the penalty
of treason to foe aud Imprisonment 10 the dis
erection Of the court; that he would, therefore
only fine him enough to take away his Missis
sipp plantations, aud let them be sold out, at
say half dollar per acre.
