We have 10 disposition at this time to

And what does this assault on the host of

editor wishes to be saucy, and say something
severe. He longs to exhibit little Ia

Artemus Ward used to say, is 8 sercasm
So, when Mr.. Boutwell, in the course of his
argument on the impeachment, made some
remarks on the supposed motives of Mr..

War Department, and the facilities with
which he could use the powers of that De-
partment to fost himself second time into

lawyer, farseeing statesman, and sarcastic

With this crushing reply, well may Mr..

STEAM FERRY. 1t is rumored that a steam
ferry boat is to be placed on the Susque-
hanna river at Peach Bottom Ferry, to ply
between the Lancaster and York county
shores. OF an improvement in the ferry
| at this place there is much need, but whether
or not steam ferry could be established,
we are not prepared to say. The river at
this point is about II or II miles wide, and
| at some seasons is quite shallow, whilst at
others the water is too deep and the current
too strong for the boats now used to ply be-
tween the shores. The depth of the river
is chiefly regulated by the fall of n,-thus
in the spring, for instance, when the snow
mets and great deal of rain falls, the
river is deep, and its current almost resist.
| less. AT such a time a steam ferry could be
used to advantage. The present ferry boats
are flat bottom scows, drawing not more than
eight or ten inches of water, and are poled
across the river, the process being tedious.
10 these crafts steam could not be applied,
| and we have serious doubts as to whether
steam ferry could be operated there, al
though the increase of business might de-
mand it.

to the length of the session
that will begin then. There is
really no necessity that Congress
should meet at that time, but as it
is nominated in the law that it shall
meet, it is stated that there will be
no crowding of legislation at the
session which begins on the 9TH

act, There is an impression that ii

posed upon the forty first Congress

should have forgotten that its party
has made the sessions Of Congress

second session of the thirty-ninth
Congress, and approved January

provides as follows:
"That in addition to the present regu-

HHE DAVIS CASE.

The motion to quash the indict-
ment for treason against Jefferson
Davis raised a question which evil
IDENTIFY has given the counsel for
the government good deal of per
plexity. Their attempt to combat
it, after time for consultation and
study granted by the court, is weak.
Mr.. Guilds point that the four
teenth amendment to the constitu-
ton provides the only legal penalty
for the act of treason committed by
parties engaged in the recent re-
belliOn, and that it was intended as
a substitute for that previously de-
elared in q general statute, is one
of great force. The scope and tenor
of that amendment holds all acts
Of treason done in the attempt to
establish the independence of the
confederate States of America as
a special class Of cases, and applies
= special punishment, which is dis
franchisement and disqualification
to hold Office. This is the Consti-
tuition and it is higher than any
statute. 1t supersedes any other
penalty. IF Mr.. Davis has done
treason at all, he did it in his capaci-
ty as the civil and military head OF
the late Confederacy, and is only
amenable to the punishment pre-
scribed in the constitution for that
offense.
The argument that disfranchise-
ment is not punishment will not
stand. The whole current of Judicial
decision in England and recently in
the United States, is that deprivation
of such a privilege is penal in its
character and intent. 1t might have
been plausibly argued that the four
teenth amendment was &c post factC
as to Mr.. Davis offense, and could
not be applied to it; but this is an
argument, if it be sound one, which
would dismiss hi mly, rather
than return the case to the operation
OF the general statute against trea'
son. If, however, the people in THEN
sovereign capacity, have made the
constitution to retroact it cannot be
held as lapsing under another pOr.
ton of the instrument declaring
against e.r post facte laws.
1t would seem, therefore, that tn,
constitution in the fourteen aSiclt
has taken cognizance of the charac
ter of treason charged against Mr.
Davis, and affixed the only penalty
thai can be applied, that it has re
moved the case beyond the action
of the courts, and the only alterna
tive is to dismiss the indictment.
Chief Justice Chase's decision OF
the pending motion will be looked
to with great interest.
