Trial Of Jefferson Davis-ArgumenT of
K. H. Dana, Council for the Pros

RICHMOND, December 4.-In the
United States Circuit Court to-day,
Chief Justice Chase, presided, on the
motion to quash the proceedings
against jefferson Davis.
II. II. Dana, for the Government,
proceeded to show that the Four
teeuth amendment, pleaded in bar OF
punishment, by the defendant, was
not a penal statute, but merely 9
change in the political system, to Sc
cure trustwOrthinesS in Office and
preserve purity in the administration
of the Government. 1t was a meas
ure of precaution TO secure the cOun-
try against the filling of offices with
| persons who once filled them, and
broke their oaths. 1t could not be
pleaded in the bar of conviction for
treason, seeing it applied to these on
ly who had after taking the oath Of
Office, engaged in inSurrection and re-
belIion. II is levying war against the
Government. OF this the defendant

it jeff. Davis could, as he might I'M
der this plea, come to the bar and,
acknowledge that he was guilty of
treason, deny a liability to be punish
ed because OF the Fourteenth Amend
ment.
Mr.. O'ConnOr followed Mr.. Dana.
Mr.. O'Connor showed from the
very nature of the great civil war,
that it was impossible to follow it up,
by trials from treason conducted with
the fairness required by law. How ut
terly repugnant to the worlds idea of
humanity is IL. that after being rec
ognized during the war, in all respect,
as equal and honorable men, the
leaders of the conquered force should
be searched out in peace to be hung
as traitors. He maintained that the

tended to do this, and it was for this
reason that the fourteenth amendment
had been adopted. 1t was q consti-
tutIonal provision, and executed it.
self, and those who fell under il were
now suffering the punishment. He
asked the court to give construction
to the fourteenth article that the
American people intended it should
bear and to accept the great and bele.
ticent boon of mercy in the construc-
ton which they had put upon it, and
which tend to advance what all good
men, who are believers in universal
suffrage, should be accompanied hand
IN hand with universal amnesty o.
supposed ohenses arising out OF the
unfortunate controversy in which
universal suffrage may esaid to have

Court adjourned until tomorrow.
