acting as President of the United States in
1869. Ten years sometimes bring wonderful
changes.

BAY VIEW ITEMS.

Religious. meeting in the woods,
near Titan on Sunday last, was we'll attend
ed The order was only reasonable,-a
number of halt grown boys, who think them
selves men, and older ones kept riding and
driving up and down the road stirring up con-
siderable dust, and doing other unmanner-
ly things, while Mr.. Elderdice was preach
ing, to the annoyance of the more moral
and we'll behaved part of the audience. The
congregation raised in cash about 800, and
there was probably about $50 more sub
scribed. The amout required to complete
the building is estimated at $500.
Did Take Place.-The change in propri-
torship of the Bay View Hotel took place on
Tuesday last, Mr.. Ainscow retiring. and
Mr.. Jeffries taking possession.
Fast Young Mea.-On returning from the
woods meeting, on Sunday evening, a young
gentleman having two young ladies loaded
into carriage, undertook to pass and throw
dust in every boly's eyes; and in order to
gain time, drove hurriedly into the creek, at
Reed Ford, above where some other per
sons were quietly watering their horses, but
being off the regular road, the water was
deep and the bottom rocky, which caused
the horse to stumble, partly capsizing the
wagon. The young gentleman jumped out
in the creek, the water being some three or
four feet deep, then called for his lady
friends to do likewise. One of them plunc-
ed in taking the starch out of her crinoline
beyond doubt: the other being more
brave, remained until some gallant young
fellow went to her assistance and landed
her safely on terra firma.

The Jefferson Dayis Trial.

Ia the u s. Circuit Court in Richmond yes
terday, Chief Justice Chase on the bench, the
argument was commenced on the motion Ia
quash the Indictment against Jefferson Davis.
Mr.. Robert Ould, argued that the fourteenth
amendment punished Davis by dlsranchlse-
ment, and this punishment was chosen by the
voice Of the American people as mercliul sub
stitute for the penalties of death and confsca-
ton contained in the Constitution of the us;
that the punishment of Mr.. Davis commenced
upon the date of the adoption ofthe fourteenth
article and he, therefore, could not now be
| punished 10 any other way; that the latest ex-
preston Of the will of the people, in their Con-
stitution, was the law, and repealed all former
provisions made for those who engaged In rebel
lion; that the fourteenth article was that latest
exposition, intended expressly for, and covering
cases of, all engaged in the late rebellion; and
that no man could be punished twice for the
same offence
Mr.. r. H. Dana, counsel for the u. S. said
that Mr.. Guilds proposition was in the nature
of things entirely new, and was unexpected to
the Government counsel, and he expected, also,
to the Court
Chief Justice Chase said the argument of
counsel was not unexpected to the Court, it
having supposed after the announcement of
this motion to qua5b, that it was based on the
fourteenth article, that this line of argument
would be pursued.
&1ime was given the Government counsel to
confer, and the court took recess at noon.
After the reassembling OF the court, Cover
nor II. H. Wells and District Attorney Beach,
for the Government, replied, contending that
the fourteenth amendment merely created q
disability, and not penalty, which is the sub
ject of judicial sentence, and was not inconsis
tent with the act against treason. The amend
ment was permanent and prospective, and could
not reasonably be construed as intended to re-
peal existing punishments for past and future
treason. The court then adjourned.
Mr.. Dana closes for the Government, and
O'COnOr for Mr. Davis, to-day.
