Judge Underwood and the New
York Tribune.

\
The Tribune has, we think, unwitting-
ly done quite an injustice to Judge I'm
Iderwood, which we take the liberty to re-
pair. Says that journal:
1--WE doubt that is was eUer possible
to convict Davis of treason in civil
court, unless by excluding every active
Democrat from the jury box Judge I'm
Ederwood, who would have rejoiced to try
shim with tolerable chance of success,
testified before committee Of Congress
that no verdict could be obtained against
him in Virginia unless the jury were
packed for the purpose-whicl is un
doubtedly afforded one of the. reasons
for not trying him.
The implication of all this is, that
Judge sslefwoed. thought there was
only one way 10 convict Mr. Davis, and
that that way. was inadmissible. On
this last point we prefer,n.to let Judge
Underwood speak for himself, and to
this end we quote from his testimony in
the report Of the Reconstruction com-
mittees part I'd, page 10. The learned
Judge had given a great deA 81 testi-
mony, Mr.. Howard being his interroga-
tor, and had just expressed the opinien
highly important, doubtless, to the
legislation of Conoress-that MIR. Davis
was not as popular in Virginia as Gen
eral Lee. We now give question and
answer:

of treason in Virginia ? s. This to one

In that good time coming it will be re-

loyal committee, on whose report Con

sress should have been made as early, as
the year ofgrace 1866, will be regarded
rs set-off, we hope, to many national
shortcomings. Why not have this dia-
logue printed in the school books, for
children to recite, so that they can; learn
while tender and impressible, the Radical
theory of morals, and what are the sort
of ideas that go best with the efmine !?
The facility with which murderers, bur-
glars, pickpoekets, and the rest of the
penitentlary convicts in Virginia have
been turned loose to prey on society is
fine stretch of loyalty, doubtless, but
tits hardly equal to the ingenious virtue
which sworc before High Heaven that a
jury could be packed by the deponent.
Great care should be taken to preserve
the records of these transactions, 50 that

Hence Noah was born Ammo Mundi,

In Genesis, 7th chapter, 9th verse, we
are informed that Noah was 600 years
old when the flood of waters was upon
the earth. Add 600 years, his age, to
1856, gives the date of the food, 1856.
We learn from the 9th verse, 9th chap
ter of Genesis, that '.all the days of Ma
thuselah were 969 years, and he died"
By reference to the foregoing table it will
be seen that Mathuselah was born Ammo
Mundi 6S7, to which add his age, 969,
and we have 1856, the date of the flood,
which proves to mathematical certainty
that Mathuselah was drowned for his
wickedness.
