A new Indictment against Jefferson Davis.
From the Richmond Enquirer.

Judge Underwoods black and tan grand jury,
has, after an incubation of more than six months,
at last Matched new indictment against ex-
President Davis. We suppose he will be tried
under this INSTRUMENTATION he is brought to
trial 1t covers more than fifty pages OF foolseap-
The Indictment states that in 1861 he armed
and equipped troops for the purpose OF levying
war against the United States that he took
torcible possession OF the city Of Richmond, and
excluded therefrom the forces of the United
States; that he armed and equipped military
forces for the purpose OF levying against the
United States ia the States of Virginia. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
banla, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Tennessee and Missouri, and that he gave to the
said forces information. counsel and advice,
| nlalciously and traitorously to assist them in
levying the war aforesaid And that at Manassas
on the 21st Of July, 1861, with number of
persons, amounting to $4,000 or more, armed,
equipped and organized as military forces with
the usual weapons of war, and maliciously and
tratorously fought against, killed, wounded and
captured officers and soldiers of the United States

The remainder of the Indictment consists of

charge that MIR Davis appointed and commits
stoned persons as officers in the Confederate
army. 1t concludes as follows: That during
the whole period of the said rebellion by reason
of resistance to the execution of the laws of the
United States, and the interruption of the Or
binary of judicial proceedings, process for
the commencement of any action, civil or criminal,
against the said Jefferson Davis or for his arrest

The Precepts of our Early Presidents.

Lie fIeceptS vi Oui EdIly TIeSIueHCS.
President Jefferson in his Inaugural Address,
March 4th, 1905, says:
"All. too, will bear in mind this sacred prin-
ciple that, though the will of the majority is in
all to prevail that will to be rightful must
be reasonable; the minority possess their equal
rights, which equal laws must protect, and to
violate which would be oppression. Let
store to social intercourse that harmony and af-
lection, without which liberty and even life itself
are but drcary things. And let us reflect that,
having banished from our land religious intolcr-
ance we have yet gained but little. if we coun-
tenance as despotic, as wicked, and capable ofas
bitter and bloody prosecutions 1t is proper you
should understand what | deem the essential
principles of our Government, and consequently
those which ought to shape its administration.
| will compress them within the narrowest COM
pass they will bear. The support of the State
governments in all their rights as the most COM
pctcnt administrations for domestic concerns.
and the surest buwarks against anti-republican
tendencies jealous care of the right Of cleo
ton By the people; the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority; economy in the pub
lie expense, that labor might be lightly burdened;
freedom Of religion. freedom of the press, and
freedom of person under the protection of the
habeas corpus, and trial by jury impartially Sc
!ected. heSc principles guided our steps through
an age of revolution and reformation. The wis
dom of our sages and the blood of our heroes
have been devoted to their attainment They
should be the creed of our political faith, the
text Of civic Instruction, and the tombstone by
which to try the services of those we trust"
Fellow men. let us determine to apply this
touchstone to the present state Of affairs and to
the services Of those trust, as they conform or
vary with the principles set forth by President
Jefferson. They are the groundwork of Demo-
cracy, whether the Democracy of the present day
be true to this basis of political faith" or not.
They are the sheet-anchor of the patriot. by what
soever name they may be called; and while every
Democrat an aame, must of necessity and con-
sistency cherish them as the fountain of expe-
rience in the past let him be sure to study them
anew; engratt them in his heart; cxemplify
them in his energetic support of constitutional
law, and determine they shall be his rule of
political action in the future. Do this, bend all
abstract theories of expediency to a strict con-
structon Of the letter of the Constitution as the
Ark of the Covenant of our fathers, and we
shall have such an ingathering of Conservatives
by name but democrats by prnciplc--as shall
drive the Legislative nondescripts at Washington
out of the councils of the nation, and bring our
trinity of government back to the principles
enancated by the author of the Declaration of
Independence and the founder of the Democratic
creed of political faith

How TO KEEP WINTER APpLEs.-Thc
fruit grower who is so fortunate as to have
winter apples, can prolong their keeping
by packing them in sawdust, other than
pine if possible. Put it in some dry place
for several weeks before using, spread out
thin so as to be perfectly dry. Keep your
apples on the trees as late as possible not
to be touched by frost. Pick in the mid
die of a pleasant day, when perfectly dry.
Handle with care, and leave all the stem
on. Pack no bruised, wormy or defective
fruit. Sprinkle an inch of sawdust on the
bottom of your packing box. Place the
apples in layers, and SO continue until the
box is full, with layer Of sawdust, leav-
ing an inch or more of the latter to the
top. Put on the lid with slight pressure
gently shaking the box, and keep the con-
tents perfectly tight. Remove to some out
building, and keep there till freezing wealth
er comes on, when the boxes should be
stored in dry cellar, placed on blocks or
planks 90 as to not touch the ground. In
this way the latest keepers will be perfect
" sound the fourth Of next July, and they
will be entirely fresh, with the favor un-
impaired. Packing in sawdust has many
advantages over sand and is in every way
preferable. This is no theory or guess
work, but the result Of years Of experience
