Trial of Jefferson Davis.

We find the following article on the
trial Of Jefferson Davis, in the Washing
ton Chronicle of Saturday; Nov. Esd:
Hon. L. H. Chandler, United States
District Attorney for Virginia, left
Washington yesterday for Norfolk, in
tending to be present on Monday next
at the opening Of the United States
Court at Richmond, when the case Of
Jefferson Davis, President Of the South
ern Confederacy," Is expected to come up
for trial. There seems to be no doubt
that the trial will come on. Although
Attorney. General Stanberry will not be
present, he will be represented by the
eminent lawyer, Hon. William NJ, Evsrts
OF New York, who will be the leading
counsel for the Government. Hon, Rich
ard H. Dana of Boston, is also expected
to assist. Some Of the grand and petit
Jurors will doubtless be cDlored citizens,
The trial so long delayed will proceed in
due form. The preparations on both
sides are said to be completed, and the
prisoner arrived in Richmond yesterday.
Jefferson Davis will be called to account
for his high crimes against the Ameri-
can Union in the very Building in Rich
mond which was his headquarters dur
ing the war-the custom house--since
fitted up as the United States courtroom.
What will add to the Importance, and
almost to the dramatic effect Of the pro-
ceedings, is the fact thai the man who
led the armies of the rebellion for the
purpose of retaining in servitude four
millions of human beings, will be tried
by jury part of whieh will be COM
posed Of former slaves! The counsel
on the part of the Government are calm,
thoughtful, resolute lawyers, and Judge
Underwood, who will preside, is a pa
triot of unchallenged virtue and cour.
age. Nothing will be done in passion
and everything to settle the question
whether such crime as that Of treason
against the best and purest Government
on earth shall BIZ punished or shall be
made honorable. It will crafty the
loyal people Of America to know tha'
the case proceeds with the full co.opera
tion of the President and the Attorney
General.

Washington Items.

A few Senators do not hesitate to
express their opinion that the President
should be impeached, and that If i'm
peached he will be convicted; but the
majority of those who are to be the
Judges, if there is an impeachment,
mai ntain discrete silence.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany are willing to sell their wires to
the government for postal purposes, but
the authority OF Congress to make the
purchase is doubted. If anything is
done towards a telegraphic postal sys-
tenn, it will probably be only the declar-
alton of certain routes to be let out by
contract, like post roads.
Baron Won Havre Of the Belgian le-

testant. The archbishop will be ap.

There was packed House on Mon
day to witness the presentation of the
Impeachment reports. Mr.. Boutwell, o

resolutions were read. The minorit,
report was then submitted, and Wednes

The impeachers are determined AM

will be strong pressure brought +

are also confident that II the Presiden

THE IMPEACHMENT REPORTS. -" Per-
ley" telegraphs to the Boston Journal
as follows, concerning the impeachment
reports which were submitted to the
House of Representatives by its judici-
ary committee on Monday last:
The Impeachment Of President john
son has at last been recommended to
the House of Representatives by ma
iority of its Committee on the judiciary,
and those who have so persistently
urged it are confident that the commit
tee will be directed to prepare the arti-
cles OF impeachment within thirty days
by decided majority. 1t is understood
that while the argumentative portion of
the report was prepared by Judge Will
liams of Pennsylvania, the conclusion,
which embodies the whole ground for
Impeachment, was prepared by Gov.
Boutwell,. The minority report of Judge
Wilson, which would have been the
majority report had not Mr.. Churchill
| changed his base, takes the ground that
| the President cannot be impeached I'M
| less for some act that is made an indct-
able offense by the statutes Of the United
States. AS the United States has no
common law, as the States have, defn-
ing crimes, the President must have
committed some act which is made penal
by an act of Congress, and would sub
NIT him to an Indictment TO be i'm
| peached.
There appears to be decided majority
OF Republicans against the proposed i'm
parchment, nor does the mass of testi-
mony present any features not generally
known which might effect change.
The particulars Of the payment OF the
Tennessee Railroad bonds, by which the
President was benefited rather than the
United States, are given fully, and the
testimony of judges Chase and Speed
Gen. Grant and other witnesses is now
all made known. There is also the evi.
dence of lot Of detectives and other
disreputable persons which is unsub
stantiated, and some of which is stamped
with falsehood. But we have no grounds
for charges which did not exist sir
months or more ago.

Probably Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

One OF the most unprovoked and Grim
inal shooting ARRAYS which We have
ever been called upon 10 chronicle as
occurring in this immediate locality, took
place yesterday shortly after noon on
the track Of the Rutland & Burlington
Rail Road, about half a mile south OF
the depot, in this place, and but few
rods from the residence OF the wounded
party.
There are numerous conflicting stories
ahoat concerning the affair, but the
facts, as near as we can learn them, are
that Anne, aged about 10 years, Oldest
daughter OF Daniel Dougherty, in COM
psny with younger sister, was stand
ing upon the railroad track, when boy
some two years older than herself ap.
preached her from the direction OF the
depot and upon coming up to her, began
| 4 conversation, in which, as we have
since learned, he used insulting lau-
guage, whereupon she called him liar
aud dared him TO repeat his remarks,
saying that If he did, she would slap
him. The language was repeated, and,
true to her promise, she stepped up to
him and administered blow on the
side of his face, when, without more ado,
he deliberately drew pistol and fired,
the ball taking effect in the abdomen OF
the girl and burying itself in her intes-
tines, where it still remains, and whence
medical skill pronounces it impossible
to extract. A painful hemorrhage was,
of course, the result, and though she
was living up to q late hour last eve
ming, it is not thought possible that she
can recover.
The boy upon discovering what HI
had done, Immediately sought refuge II
flight; but officers, accompanied by
posse of citizens, were soon upon hi
track, and succeeded in arresting hl1
, while entering piece Of woods upol
the farm of Mr.. G. L. Mussey, about
mile southwest of the scene of the shoot
ing. He gives his name as william
Long, his age as II years, and says h
resides in Mount Holly. He was q
once conducted to the County Jail, an
properly secured where he is awstin
examination. His arrest was effected b
=, Mr.. John McGOwen, an employe Of tn
r. g. B. R. r. Co., under the directo
Of Officer Perkins, and to him niue
n credit must be accorded for the fearIes
e and determined manner in which b

How TO MAKE Coal LAsT.-An ex-
change gives a receipt for one species OF
economy recommended to those who de-
sire to practice it. Some housekeepers
act upon the supposition that an addi-
ton of the fuel will cause increased
combustion, and consequently develop
additional warmth. This is an expen-
sive mistake. It's only smothering and
retarding the fire to put in thick layer
of coal, or, as some do, fill the fire-box
from q layer Of two inches of ignited
coal to it's utmost capacity with fresh
fuel.
No more coal should be put upon fire
at one time than will readily ignite and
give off pure white fiame-not blue
flame, as that denotes the presence of un-
consumed gases.
In cleaning the CRATES OF coal-stoves
in the morning, there is always to be
found a quantity of unburnt coal, which
has been externally subjected to COM
bustion. 1t is covered with ashes, and
looks like cinders. 1t is often dumped
into the ash-box.
The fact is, that the lumpis only roast
ed on the outside, not even cooked, and
| it is in q better condition for igniting
than the green coal. Never waste it,
Attention to these few hints, it is stated
will save many dollars in winter. Th'
expe riment is at least worth trying.
