THE TRIAL or JEFFERSON DAVIS.


1t is more than probable, indeed al
most certain, that the government will
not rife Mr. Davis to trial at the May
term Of the Dnited States Circuit Court
at Richmond Chief Justice Chase OBJ
ects to holding the court in Virginia, so
long as martial law is maintained there.
What validity there is in this objection
we are not prepared to say, but If called
upon, would say there was none at all !,
but, that It was either an oyerstraincd
| and fantastic notion Of Judicial dignity,
or a disposition on the part OF that ex-
altel lunetionary to eyade presiding ut
the trial Of the great state prisoner The
exhaustive legal discussion of what con
stitutes treason, and Of the variant views
Of the form Of government under which
the alleged treason was committed, will
not be = very agreeable one to gem
tleman, who, before ascending the
woOlsack, was 80 vehement an adVO
cate Of the doctrine with which this
treason which Mr.. Davis is charged with,
is so closely allied, that many loyal
expounders can find no difference. The
country appreciates the dilemma Of Chief
Justice Chase, and some commissrate
him but just men everywhere win more
commiserate the prisoner at Fortress
Monroe, who has lain for more than two
years, denied Of the right 10 a speedy
public and impartial trial before iyfy
OF his countrymen, which the copstitu-
tiou aeeords to him, and which Il is the
sworn duty Of Chief Justice Chase to
secure to him
If this cruel and shameless course il
continued, Justice and humanity will re-
quire that Mr. Davis should be released
on bail, and We are rejoiced to perceive
that a public sentiment is forming at the
North which looks to a movement in that
| behalf

THE WARNING To THE RICHMOND
TV4rG

Thomas Jefferson declared that Terror
ceases to be dangerous when reason is
left free 20 combat it. But General
Schofield evidently thinks otherwise, at
least as regards the people of Virginia,
and he has accordingly sent the following
warning to the editor of the Richmond
Times
Mr.. Charles H. Wynne, Proprietor Of the
Richmond Times, Of Richmond, "a: The
commanding General directs ne 10 call
your attention TO an editorial article in the
Richmond Times of this morning, headed
"a Black Mans Party in Virginia" and
to say that while he desires not only to per-
pit, but to encourage the utmost free
HdOm of discussion. of political questions,
the character of the article referred TO calls
for severe censure, especially the following
words at is q proposition which implies
that they are ready TO grasp the blood
stained hands of the authors of our ruin"
are an intoIerable insult TO all soldiers of
the United States army, and no less so to
all true soldiers of the late Confederate
army, as they have long since extended to
each other the cordial hand of fellowship,
and pledged their united efforts to restore
peace and harmony 10 our whole country.
The efforts of your paper to foster enmity,
create disorder, and lead to violence, can
no longer be tolerated.
1t is hoped this warning will he sufIi-
cient. s,asr rHaE.# ID

FugIiSla'S MeSSage etc

NEW YORK, May 1.-The Connecticut
Legislature organized to-day. Governor
English in his message, says: The situa-
ton of public affairs in every aspect are i'm
pOrtant. file urges that as citizens Of
the common country we should strive to
extinguish vindictiVe Tesentment4 engen-
dered by the late civil war waged to main
tain supremacy of the Federal constitution
and integrity of the Union. He states the
great object was not yet attained, the Union
was not restored, ten States were denied
representation in the national government
by the action of Congress and should the
measures be persisted in will transform the
republic into despOtism. He deems the
course Of the legislation pursued by Con-
gress wholly unwarraRted and as fatal to
the Union and constitution as the doctrine
of secession. That the legislation of the
thirty-ninth Congress to a large extent was
a series of usuTpatiOns and intractions of the
constitution.
He argues that Congress has no more
power, under the constitution, to establish
a military government in the Southern
States than TO institute an order of nobility
in England, and claims that Congress only
assumed that power for the purpose of
thoroughly accomplishing the subversion
of the State authority. IL Congress can
legislate for those States it is not difficult
to foresee 4 like interference in other Statee,
and the right of State to regulate ifs
internal affairs in their own way is hence
forth subject to the caprice Of Congress. He
speaks of the Senate asnot only sbrogatingits
power to select as well as confirm, but as die
tating tothe President in regard to appoint
aents. 1t was in purpose to absorb the func.
lions which legitimately appertain TO other
branches of the government, that it was
proposed TO take the pardoning power from
the President, where the constitution had
placed it, and confer it, by an er post tacto
proceeding on Congress. He does not
doubt the tacit submis ion of the Southern
people to the rule provided for them, but
serious questions arise from the precedent
established by Congress. The funded debt
of the State has been reduced the past year
$j7l 900 He recommends the adoption
of law making eight hours legal days
work. In conclusion he inyokes Divine
