WHERE DOES JEFF. DAVIS STAND ?
Since the trial of the conspirators has
closed, and the doom proportionate to
the extent of their several crimes been
fixed upon every one of them, the ques
tion recurs as to the fate of the incom
parable traitor, Jeff. Davis. No doubt,
he with great anxiety, has been await
ing in his dungeon the finale to the
trial of his accomplices. Ile has, we
infer,-often compared (it would make
a betthr contrast) their case with his
own, and" expected and still expects
their doom to be his. They have per
ishod; their fate has been unalterably
fixed, and the chief of crime and trea
son will meet the same end. Jeff. has
long since run to the end of his string,
and he will shortly be compelled, if we
are not greatly mistaken, to hang at
the end of his rope. He can nowstare
grim death in the face, or prepare to
meet his final separation by making
partial atonement to his God for the
scarlet sins he has committed against
God's creatures—our brave defenders, '
and for the crime of treason. Ile must
surely feel that his ignominious end is
nigh; indeed we can foresee no possi
blo event that will intervene to avert
his execution, except natural death,
and the days left to him aro days of
probation which he can devote to pray
er and supplication.
TIM pecuniary losses to the Confed
erate States, caused by the rebellion,
are almost fabulous. A. South Carolina
journal estimates the loss to that State
alone, at four hundred millions dollars.
This consists of slaves, bank, railroad
and corporate stocks and personal
property; and says that "of all this
property, not a vestige is left." If the
losses of South Carolina wore four
hundred-millions - 7 - KWliia WO scarce y
believe,) and that of the ton other
rebellious States were equally large,
we can aggregate the pecuniary losses
of the Confederacy at four thousand
millions ! This sum is a quarter larger
than the debt incurred by the National
Government in its efforts to suppress
the rebellion— which is estimated at
three thousand millions.
SUMMARY PUNISHMENT.—President
Johnson allowed the conspirators only
twenty-four hours to prepare to meet
their death. Protracted, 'indeed, was
their trial, perhaps necessarily, but wo
can find no fault of procrastination in
the decision of the President, nor can
ivo censure him for stern and prompt
disposal of the conspirators. The spirit
of promptness wo believe is a eharaes
teristic of Mr. Johnson, and there will
be events forthcoming that will re..
quire another display of this virtue.
Prompt but not rash, stern but not
proud, is our present worthy Execu—
tive. Ho is "plebian" President.
Soldiers for Civil Offices.
COL JORN W. FORNEY, in a letter.
from Washington to his Philadelphia
paper, takes strong ground in favor of
filling civil offices with capable and
faithful soldiers. Speaking of the prin
ciple that governed in tho lato Ohio
State Convention, Whereby, mainly
through army influence, Major Gon
oral Cox was nominated for Governor,
he would seem to suggest its applica
tion to Pennsylvania. Ho says:
‘ , l am glad to perceive that in the
State of Ohio, one of the most brilliant
civilians—who proved himself to be a'
most gallant soidior—has been placed
in nomination by the Union party as
its candidate for Governor. We can
not too frequentlY, by extunplos like
this, show that our professions of re
gard for the soldiers have not been
mere profession—that we aro not a
party of words but of works. When
ever a Union convention assembles,
and a bravo soldier, especially if ho
has boon wounded in fightin g for the
old flag, is named as a candidate, and
he is qualified by intelligence and good
deportment, he should be preferred to
all others, and whenever a vacancy
occurs -in a public office, or whonover
a new appointment is to bo made, if
fit soldiers can be obtained they should
be honored , with a confidence, which
is, at the same timo, a substantial re
cognition of their bravery. The Union
mon throughout Pennsylvania, and
the Ueion men in other States, I note
with • great joy, aro acting upon what
is the spontaneous wish of the people
and should therefore secure the
prompt action of the politicians."

The Assassination Trials,
The trial. of the assassins at Wash

of the Court aro now in the hands of
tho President for his approval. The
Court has been in session almost daily

Appearance of the Cutprits.—Scents at
the seebtd. •
WASHINCITON, July 7.--All the con
demned conspirators sentenced to be
hanged to-day were executed. On the
petition of Mary E. Surratt, through
her counsel, Messrs. Aiken and Clam
fdt, Judge -Wylie, of the Supremo
Court of this District, directed an is
sue of a writ of habeas corpus to Gen.
Hancock, Commanding him to pro
duce in court at ter, o'clock this mor
ning the body of Mary E. Surratt, with
the cause of detention.
The writ was served on General
Haneock,at the Metropolitan Hotel, at
S o'clock this morning, by United
States Marshal Gooding. Ho immedi
ately consulted with the Attorney
Goneral and Secretary of war, and at
10:30 the General had not obeyed the
writ. This fact was brought to the no
tice of the court by her counsel, but
tho judge said ho had not power to
enforce the writ.
Early to-day guards were placed
all around the arsenal grounds, topre
vent the intrusion of persons to the
scene of action, none being admitted
excepting those previously supplied
with passes by Maj. Gen. Hancock.
The relatives of Mrs. Surratt and
Harrold spent several hours with them
during the forenoon, and they wore
also attended by their spiritual advis.
ers as well also Payne and Atzerott.
A few minutes after one o'clock the
outer prison door was opened, and
sire:- Bra rr t•;--s-c - supper Led on her
way to gallows by two military officers.
Next followed Atzerott, Harold and
Payne, aecompained by a guard and
their respective ministers of the gos
pel.
Front seats were provided for them
on the platform in the following order:
Ars; Stirratt, Payne, Harold and At:
ze•ott. The officers entrusted with
the execution and the ministers occu
pied intermediate Positions.
Mal. Gen, Hartrauft, who leas been
from the commtmeement in charge of
the prisonors, came forward and read
the order of the War Department, al
ready published, approving the sen
tences and ordering the penalty of
death to be inflicted.
A heavy guard was stationed around
the walls, surrounding the grounds,
While below the soldiers were formed
on two sides of a square. Perhaps
several hundred civilians were present,
anxous spectators of the solemn scene.
Ono of the priests attended on Mrs.
Surratt and prepared a short prayer,
to which Payne, who was seated next
to her,- attentively listened. The min
ister who had been administering Co
Payne. expressed, in the name of the
letter, his sincere thanks to Gen. Hart
rauft and the officers and soldiers who
have had charge of him for their per
sonal kindness. They had not uttered
an unkind word nor given an unpleas
ant look or gesture, but seemed to
compassionate with him in 105 misfor•
tunate. '
The minister then uttered a brief
prayer,• asking - for Payne the forgive
ness of all his sins, and a passage out
of this world iEto the joy of heaven.
The minister who attended Harold
also returned thanks for the kind
treatment of the prisoner, and offered
a prayer that God would receive his
soul. Harold was affected to tears.
The minister who attended Atzerott
returned thanks for him to Gen. Hart
mutt and other officers for kind atten
tions, and then invoked the mercy of
God upon the prisoners,
The condemned were then required
to rise from their seats,when the chairs
were removed. They were now all on
the drops, their hands were fastened
behind them, and their logs bandaged
both below and above the knees, and
the white cap placed over their heads. •
Atzerott, while being prepared for
execution, exclaimed: "G entlemon,fare
well; take care, and good•byo, gentle.
men, now before me," One of the
clergymen standing near, exclaimed'
"May we all meet in the other, world,"
As soon as the noose . was placed
around each neck—Mrs. Surratt's
being the last one adjusted—the sec
tion of the platform on. which they
had been standing suddenly fell, and
the culprits were hanging several feet
from the ground. MC3. Surratt and
Payne scarcely moved a muscle, At
zerott exhibited some ttvitching, but
Harold showed more nervous sensi
bility than any of the others.
The bodies, after hanging sonfolitnO
after• life was extinct, were afterwards
given over for bmial, coffins, shrouds
and everything being ready at hand
for the purpose. The arrangements
for the execution were perfect. Major
General Hancock was present through
out the proceedings.
It is said that Payne last week made
a statement in behalf of Mrs. Surratt,
exonerating her from complicity, and
that another person subscribed to an
affidavit impeaching the testimony of
an important witness against her.
