The Trial of Mr. Davis
It will be seen from the order of Judge
Underwood, published in our columns
this morning, that the trial of lion.
Jefferson Davis has been again postponed
until the seectd day of Nlay prat
ponement, It is understood, was made
on tir,tion of the rounsit for the govern
meat , and. we presume, the same thing
will occur again and again, until at last
a none proveque will be entered, and the
case dissminsed, Of course we do hot
mean to imply anything more than con
jecture hough it is evident that
"the prorecuiton" would - be glad to git
aid of their in any manner,
imaginable
Underwood's grand jury have found a
new indicrnetit against Mr. Davis, of
which we gave a full report hat 'Mon
day, but nothing in regard to the trial
of Mr Davis now seems to afford more
than a nagging remark, and the "new
indicruent" has hardly been tnentior ed
on the streets of this city, so well sat is
fled do the people seem to he that Mr.
Davis is safe from the the malignant
spirit to whiCh poor Wirz was sacrificed.
Contrary to the expectation of a year
ago, the (Treat State Trial is taking
place to-day at Waehitigton instead of
Richmond, and the respondent is the

of the President of the Confederate

three years offforodfin pease,' and yet
the taxe't are not reduced—neither k the

Tax payers were willing I expend
their blood and treasure in a four years'
war to keep the Southern States in the
Union, but they hesitate about being
taxed to the same extent for and inde
finatxyperiod to keep them out of the
Union. The Southern people have re
sources sufficient to pay their own taxes,
if allowed to develop them, and govern
themselves, yet we are taxed not less
than one hundred and fifty millions a
year to govern them and feed and cloth
the negroes
And this is .to continue until the
Southern States agree to hand over the

to accept the retiala of the var as the

Not Repudiation.
Radical politicans call the proposition
to pay nation) debt in greenbacks,
-repudiation " Let ue look at that a lit
tle On The back's( the legal tender
notes, or greenback, issued under the
act of February 25, 1852, if you will ex
amine yourself, you will find these
words:
"This in a legal tender for all debts,
rinbhe and private, except duties on
imports and interest on the publie debt,
and Is exchageable for United Slates
six per cent twenty years bode, re•
(learnable at the pleasure of the United
States after five years.
What does this say? Why it says that
legal tenders, or greenback, are ex•
changetyble for the five-twenty bonds!
That's exactly what it Nays. And these
five - twenty bonds, it says are "redeema
ble at the pleasure of the United States
after fire years." But turn again, If
you please, to the back of the notes, the
greenbacks istunikunder the sot of July
11, 1862, and you will read :
"This note is a legal tender . for all debts
public and private, except duties on
imports and interest on the public debt
and is receivable, In payment for all
loans made to the United States."
What does this say I Why it says that
these greenback notes are receivable in
payment for all loans made to the Uni
ted States." Not only were thee five
twenties loan made to the United States
but also were the other war bonds, all
of them These greenbacks, thei, are
not only recievable in payment for the
fivo-twenties, but Are also receivable in
payment, under the law, for the seven
thirties and tow•forties. It is, there
fore, the bondholder' who propose to be
guilty of repudiation, and not the Dem
