THE JEFFERSON DAVIS CAss-Thc Court
dirtded-The cas- 70 90 e. the Supreme Court.-At
Richmond yesterday, In the United States Cir
cult Court of Virginia, Hon Richard II. Dana,
made an argument on behalf of the United
ferson Davis 10 quash the indictment against
him for treason. His counsel contend that un-
der the Fourteenth Amendment th- only pun
lshment for his crime is disqualification from
office. Mr.. Dana said that tine Fourteenth
Amendment To the Constitution was not intend
ed, as alleged by Davis counsel, TO act as an
amnesty, nor was there single word uttered
in the Congress that framed, nor the Lsgisla-
tuTes that adopted il. 10 warrant such a con-
strLCtiOn. The amendment, he said, could not
be plead in the bar of conviction for treason,
seeing that it applied TO those only who had
OF en taken the oath of Office and afterwards
engaged in instruction and rebellion against
the United States. Ii would be strange indeed
if JEFF. Davis could as he might, under the p lea
of his counsel, go into court, and ackno wIedg-
ing that he was guilty OF treason, deny his liza
bilIty TO be punished becau OF the Fourteenth
Amen dment, aud evade the charge of leyying
war against the Government-the principal
charge against him. Mr.. OConnor, a promi-
nent Democratic lawyer OF New York, follow
ed Mr. Dana on behalf of the prisoner, ad dvocit-
ing universal amnesty aud universal suffrt ge
Upon the conclusion OF the argument of conn
sci, Chief Justice Chase announced that the
Court was divided in opinion upon the IN otOu

Underwood dissented. The now goes 20
