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. ,
