4 CORRESPONDENT of one Of the
New York papers. Iptmates1 that 4tBe
German American naturalization
treaty, recently consummated by Mr.
BANOR0FTl contains clause that will
poison all of its wholesome progf-
sions. The clause, it is said, makes
it incumbent en- the United States
authorities to fhunt up" allemigrants
designated as military "dsserters" By
the Prqssian law aud facilitate their
extraditi0n. IF this is correct, IL is
evident our distinguished historian
has been oHtwitted By the willy BIS
MACK. The treaty itself would
prove a trap, instead Of a protection, /
to.Germans flying to this country for
protection. a /
SENAT0R TRUMBULL has introduced !
most important bill In Congress,
WHICH has passed the Senate and now
awaits action in the House. 1t pro-
vides that jurors may be summond
outside ofthe State where the Supreme
Court IS holding its sessions, aud that
previous expression Of opinion en-
current reports, is no disqualification
of juror. Should this bill become
a law, no difficulty will be experienced
in obtaining jury TO try either DAVIS
or SURRATT. Men can easily be found,
outside of Richmond, Virginia, who
neither fought in the rebel army nor
assented to the attempt to overthrow
the government. They will, also. be
perfectly willing to give traitors a fair
trial, and render a verdict, not upon
their prejudices, but ia accordance
with the evidence. xaHla.4
