The Prospect of the Trial and Conviction ot Jefferson Davis. Wk publish In another page to-dav the replies of the lion. E. M. Stanton and Attorney-General Speed to the resolution of the Senate asking information relative to the confinement of Jefferson Davis and the crimes of which he stands accused. The documents are of the utmost Importance, ex plaining as they do most fully what is the Intention of the Administration in regard to their treatment of the late President of tlie so-called Confederacy. There can remain no shadow of doubt on the mind of any careful reader of these documents, that Da.vis wilt never be tried by a military court. The opinion of the first, law officer of the land distinctly declares against such a mode of dispensing Justice. He says : UI hate ever thought that trials for treason cannot be held before a military tribunal. The civil courts hate alone Jurisdiction of that crime." There is, therefore, so far as Mr. Speed is concerned no prospect of the leader ot the Rebellion being brought before a military tribunal. It is noedless for us to deny that we have read the opinion with the sincerest regret The reasons why we favor a military trial are numerous. Wo hold that the security of the nation in the future, as well as the punish ment of Rebels in the post, require that "trai tors be punished and their crime made odious." To punish all who were engaged in the crime as accessories would be Impossible to punish none would be to set a premium on treason . in the future. In the person of the chief in stigator and his immediate collcazues are found those on whom the dignity of the law should be vindicated. And should the trial of these persons come before a civil court, there is every prospect that they will be ac quitted. Especially Is the prospect increased when the opinion of the Attorney-General de clares that : "The question then arises, Where and when must tan trials thereof be held ? In that clansa of the Constitution mentioned in the resolution of the Senate, it is plainly wriften that, they must be held in the State and district wherein 'the crime shall have 'been committed. I know that many persons of learning and ability enter tain the opinion that the Commander-in-Chief .ot' the Rebel armies should be regarded as con slmctionally present with allthelmurarents who prosecuted hostilities and made raids upon the Northern and Southern borders of the loyal " States. This doctrine ot constructive presence, carried out to its logical consequence, would make all who had been connected with the Rebel armies liable to trial in any State and district into which any portion of these arane had made the slightest incursion. It follows, from what I have said, that I am of the opinion that Jeffer son Davis and others of the insurgents ought to be tried in some one of the S'ates or districts in which they m.y be charged." It Is, therefore, clearly the Intention of the Administration to try Davis in a civil court In one of the Southern States, The law requires that a criminal be adjudged guilty or not guilty by a jury of his peers in the vici nage. Consequently, the case of Davis will be decided by twelve Southerners, his own subordinates and accessories in treason, any one of whom will be able, by his vote, to pre vent his conviction. When all this is thought of the Improbability of his punishment is evident. The case would stand, the United States vs. Jefferson Davis. The defend ant would be acquitted, the country lose the case, and with that loss proclaim to the world that all the blood shed was lost in an unholy cause ; that all the millions incurred are an unlawfully contacted debt; that the South was right and the North was wrong. We would thus lose all for which we had been struggling. The Interests Involved would be most vital ; and yet, because of a legal quib ble, a technicality about which there is at least a doubt, the Government would place in the hands . of a Rebel Jury the decision of the question for which they had been fighting. The lolly of such a course would astonish the world, and expose our whole nation to ridicule. And yet it is advo catod by the chiel law adviser of the President. We are at a loss to understand why the case of those who appealed to the tribunal of war should not be tried before that tribunal. To him must be said, " if thou hadst not appealed unto Cesab, thou mightest have been set at liberty ; but thou hast appealed unto CLE3AR acd to Cjesab thou must go." Or, if he must be tried before a c'vil court, why could he not be made to appear at Clmrabfrs burff, or elsewhere, where he sent his emissaries? In the trial of Aarox Bcrb the question was pertinently asked, whether the case must be so construed as to allow the instigators of treason to go free, while the poor deluded follower be held as guilty, merely becausa he repaired where the author of the crime directed him ? The same question may be asked to-day. Why cannot Davis be tried in Pennsylvania as the Insti gator of the treason as well as at Richmond, from which he issued his commands ? If he is tried before a Southern civil court, lie will be acquitted, and the voice of the whole nation is demanding his conviction. The highest tribunal known to nun, that of force, has forever settled the legality cf seces sion. It has pronounced it treason. Every One knowi that Davis is guilty; he now merely waits the passage of sentence. There Could not a jury be empannelled which had not already made np Its mind In regard to his guilt. Let him then come before that power which has conquered him, and receive his sentence. It does not necessarily follow that he should be hang. De may be pardoned by the President, should Mr. Johnson deem such a course to be advisable. What is needed is a conviction, In order that all the actions of the Administration be affirmed ; for should an acquittal result, all the conduct of the war would be declared illegal, ai a consequence. For the reason that we believe the convlc t on of Davis a national necessiiy, and that we do not believe that it can be secured before a Southern . court, we deeply regret the tone adopted by Mr. Speed and must strongly dis sent from his conclusion. The fact that Chief Justice Chase refuses to hold a court at Richmond shows that he does not believe that the case can leirltlmately come before him ; and the statement that not until peace is restored to the South which may be for years, because the whole social mechanism is at present In statu quo could the trial take place, seems to imply that it will be a long time before justice will be meted out to the most guilty criminal of the age. We, there fore, demand that before a military court ex peditious punishment shall be dealt out, the nation be satisfied, and the cause of Injured aw vindicated in the conviction of the vlo ator of her statutes. j The Edncation of the Negro. The pioper education of the freedmen is fust now attracting public attention, and the initia tory steps are being taken to furnish them with facilities for their Intellectual and mental improvement. The Bureau which is in charpe of Major-General Howard has been established for the express purpose of elevating a race that has been abused and maltreated through long generations. The first duty de volving upon the nation in regard to this 1m- , portant matter is to prepare schools and col leges for the education of colored youth. It is folly to imagine that the prejudice which exists can be overcome in a day. We may regaid it as unwise and inhuman, but it still remains, iropeny considered, there is nothing in color either to degrade or make a man respectable. His life and acts are what should decide his status. A dusky skin is not necessarily a badge of inferiority, but we have been educated to thi belief, and it is hard to get rid of our early training. In the Southwest, where General Clinton B. FreK has chirge, the experiment of hih schools for colored youths is being tried. A day or two ago. one was opened under the happiest circumstances at Nashville. Gov ernor Brownlow made ene of his peculiar speeches a mixture of sterling good sense, mingled with the wormwood and gall for which he is so remarkable. lie has entered into the work of elevating the negro with might and main, and promises t be one of General Fisk's most ardent supporters.' He thinks that with careful, tutelage the negro race can be brought up to a high standard perhaps fully equal to the condition of the! white man. The Southern divines, before the war broke out, held the doctrine that Provi dence had permitted the enslaving of the African lor the purpose of introducing Chris tianity into the benighted portions of Africa. It may be that they were correct, and from the enfranchised race the streams of religious life will flow out for the healing of the nations. It is not at all improbable that some colored men, educated in America, will yet rival Henby Mabtyn. Jcdson, and Dr. Dcff in successful missionary effort. To bring about thi3 most desirable consummation is worthy of a strong effort. If, after years of enslavement, America could loose the bonds of the colored man everywhere, It would be a heritage of unbounded honor to our children's children. Let the people move in the matter, and it will be an accomplished fact. The Eulogy Upon Mr. Lincoln. The Congressional Committee having in charge the appropriate ceremonies in refer ence to' the death of Mr. Lincoln, have selected Mr. Bancboft to deliver the eulogy. Mr. Stanton was first chosen, but declined the position. No better man than Mr. Ban cboft could have been appointed. lie Is our greatest living historian, and Is unques tionably more familiar with our nntiona annals than any other man- lie is a perfect master of a most delicate and beautiful style, and we have not the slightest doubt but that the address will be an important addition to the literature of the country. The theme is one that ought to laspire the most apathetic writer, and every one who has followed Mr. Bancroft's brilliant periods will acknow ledge his entire fitness for the post assigned him. It becomes his lot to embalm the memory of one of the best men that our coun try has produced. The position Is an enviable one, as millions will read the tulogy with In tense delight. The audience before which IV will be delivered will be composed of the leading minds of every section of the country, and everything conspires to make it the great event of the piesent session ot Congress. The Pennsylvania Soldiebs Bubied in inE Southern Cemeteries. The Com missioner appointed by the State to visit the South and examine into the condition of the Southern cemeteries wherein Pennsylvania soldleis lie buried, has made a report through Colonel Gregg, which reveals a condition j ol affairs anything but comforting to the rela ; tivea of the deceased. As It may be of Inte rest to those of our readers who have a relative burled In the South, we will give a condensed account oi the condition of the different ceme teries, aud or the prospects ot being able to secure the reinterment of the bodies. After examining the cemeteries at "Sauls bury, Colonel Gregg has. come to the con clusion that the recognition of bodies Interred at that point Is totally impossible', and that , therefore Wt removal and reinterment In this State, by their friends, would be Imprac ticable. The ground occupied by the Ander sonvllle cemetery is an area of about two and a half acres, on which are burled three thou sand bodies, while altogether there are not a dozen graves marked. At present there is but a small garrison of about twenty men stationed at Andersonville, who are guarding the old stockade and cemetery. At Danville, Ta.,the total number of Union soldiers Interred is one thousand two hundred and seventy-four eighty-four of whom were Pcnnsylvanlans. The praves containing the Union dead who were burled prior to Octo ber 21, 1804, at Danville, are nil marked with ti e name, rank, company, and regiment. No difficulty can attend the recognition of bodies buried in this cemetery. It was impossible to ascertain the number of Union prisoners burled in the immediate vicinity of Richmond. In the cemeteries at Oakwood, Greenwood and Bolle Island, where the bones of a large number of Pennsylvania soldiers are burled, the graves are all un marked. At Petersburg all the graves are marked with bead boards bearing the name ot the soldier, rank, company, and regiment, render ing recognition practicable. From this It will be seen that the proba bilities of removal being possible are ex tremely slight The State is endeavoring to make arrangements whereby such as de-sire can have the identified bodies removed to this State without any great expense. When this arrangement Is perfected we will give the particulars. , FINANCE AND COMMERCE Office of tub Evenino Telegraph, f Thursday, January 11, 1866.
