THE CASE OF JEFF. DAVIS.
RICHMOND, Dec. 3

CHMOND, DcC. y.
In the United States Circuit Court,
Chief Justice Chase, on the bench, ar
gument was commenced on a motion to
quash the Indictment against Jeff. Da-
Wis. Robert Ould, counsel for Davis,
argued that the fourntecnth amendment
punished Davis by disfranchiSement,
and this punishment was chosen by the
voice Of the Ameuican people, as a mer-
ciful substitute for the penalties of death
and confscation, contained in the Con-
stitutiou. That the punishment of Da-
Wis commenced upon the date OF the
adoption Of the fourteenth article, and
he cannot now be punished in any other
way. That the latest expression of the
will of the people, in their Constitution,
is the law, and it repeals all former pro-
visions made for those who engaged in
rebellion. That the fourteenth, article
is that latest cxpression-intended ex-
prcssly for, and covering cases of all
engaged in the late rebellion, and that
no man can be punished twice for the
same offence. Il. II. Dana, counsel for
the United States, said Guilds PROPOSE
tion was, in the nature of things, entire
ly new, and was unexpected 10 the Gov
ernment counsel; and he expected also
to the Court. The Chief Justice said
the argument Of the counsel was not
unexpected TO The Court-it having sup
posed, after the announcement that the
motion to quash was based on the four.
teenth article. that this line Of argument
would be pursued. Time was given The
Government counsel 10 confer, and the
court took recess at noon.
3P. M.-Aftcr The re-assembl;ng OF
the Court, H. H. Wells ard District
Attorney Beach Cor The Government, lc-
piled, contcnding that the fourteenth
amendment merely created disability
aud not penalty, which is the subject
of judicial sentence, and was not incon-
sisteut with the act against treasoD.-
The amendment was permanent ard
prospective, and could not reasonably be
construed as intended to repeal exist
ing puuisilmcuts for past and future
treasons. The Court then adjourned.
Dana closes to morrow for the Gov IN
mcnt, and O'Copncr for Davis.
RICHMOND: Dec. 5.
In the United States Circuit Court,
this morning, the Chief Justice gave
a certificate oil division oropinion, on the
motion to quaSh the Davis indictment.
The case of Davis in this Court was
then continued until the May term, in
order that the motion TO quash may be
decided in the Supreme Court before
the case is called again here. The Court
directed renewal of the bail boud of
the prisoner to be made.

FOR THE JOURNAL.
Mr.. E}iUr:

Mr.. Etiitor: -.
We always hail with pleasure the IA
miliar face ofan old and respected friend
after long separation. More especial
ly are our feelings drawn out and intensi-
fed towards such friend, when he has
been under the cloud of misfortune, and
! buffcted by the sharp storms ofadversi- :
ty Such has been our experience, and
we believe that of every true citizen Of
Kershaw, when the welcome information
reached US, and the bustie ofpreparation
assured US, that the timed houored
Camden Journal was once more about
to show its welcome face in our dwell
lings. But we are not moved simply
by considerations of disinterested friend
ship. Self-interest enters largely as an
element. We have heard many com.
plain of being behind the times and
not knowing what was going on in the
outside world, since their weekly sheet
ceased coming There arc large numbers
of persons who live out Of the centres
of commerce, and beyond the reach of
the railroad and telegraph whose means
and employment do not permit them to
read the leading political organs. These
prize.very highly the weekly resume Of
news, foreign and domestic, which. was;
given in the columns Of the Journal.
We have been left completely in the,
dark as to the condition Of all parts ofthe.
District. So that the District, Cor not
to be diSsloyol, County,) newspaper is
a great institution, which we did not
know how to prize, until we were de,
prived oft.
Mr.. Editor, we have passed through
a great phase Of the present revolution,
since the suspension of your paper. At
the time of your last issue We were on
the eve of great conflict. In all Sec
tions of our country opposing political
parties were marshalling their hosts.
counting their numbers and stirring up
their men for the combat. Great vital
issues we're at stake. On one side were
arrayed the friends of the Constitution,
the government under which America
became great and influential, believing
that on their efforts depended the future

TO OUR READERS.

In re-appearing before our patrons
after a temporary severance OF ties,
which have so long connected us, We
ccme with our hearts in our hands, ac-
knowlcdging with fervent and heartfelt
appreciation, the generous aid of the
many friends who have enabled US, after
the total destruction of our press, mate
rials and books, again to renew The
CAMDEN JoURSAL-a paper identified
with old Camden, and its interests for
half century, and dear to the Propri-
etors, by the associations of a lifetime,
spent in the kindly appreciated service
Of this community. .
In times like these, when all our
people are Impoverished, this generous
assistance of our friends is doubly CRATE
full. Where the motive was personal
kindness to US, an overfowing heart
must yield but silent thanks, Where
the motive was desire for the re-pub-
lication of a long tried political, agricul-
tural and news friend, the desire added
much TO the gratitude created by the
aid; but when the motive was love for
the cold Journal" we felt that we were
yet living among our brethren.
We do not purpose to launch our
bark anew, with sails distended by fair
promises of performance, but we must
say thar we feel, in the kindly confidence
and interest of our friends, a higher in.
centive than ever, to earnest effort, to
render The JOURNAL an acceptable visi-
tor.
The politics Of the paper will remain
unchanged; they arc based, as we be-
licve, on principles of public and private
virtue. The antagonism, which exists
in fhis community, against this paper,
we as confidently believe, is based in
public and private vice and plnnder. 1t
