TIUAI, OF DAVIS.
Among tins other resultsef the Octobe£

clination of President JOHNSON to have Mr.
DRVIS brought to trial for his crimes. For
several months prior to those elections it
was manifest" a favorable" opportunity was

of The Dal rot-box rendered iu four States are
not o'ply consequential in themselves, puti

lai people as revolutionary, and the at
tempt would be met not by such patient
and mudiHlcte incisures of redress us donbb
ihg and .cautions niindb would suggest, but
by such incisive 'and Merofc' measures as
wi uld preserve the rights of the people, if
need he at the saerilieo -of the letter of. the
Oonstitution. In this view of tW case the
President addressed the Attorney General
a letter, e- u; veniciifly daied three days be
fore the eleetjpus, but yot. ,MU
three days after,, inviting information as to
what could be done. by • the -'Executive to
hasten the trial of the grbat'offofider. ' "
, .. i, s rL..yI .i -. ;)
\\ hat the true men of tup fpft, loll want
is uotu trial which,commenced, with solemn
pomp and unwonted wtatilinpss, shall end
in broad farefe. Such a trial a# is demand,
ed could have be pii had 'months ago, and
ought to have been assured. The delay
has been in violation of the spirit of the
law. A man, accused of crime, has a right
to demand a speedy trial, or a relinquish
ment of the charges agaidst him. Iu this
particular Mr. DAVIS lias the same rights
as any other citizen. He has, through his
counsel, signified his readiness and desire
to meet the charges made against him. It
is but reasonable that this desire of his
should be aomplied with.
If anybody supposes Mr. DAVIS can be
convicted iu Virginia,no matter how strong
the evidence or how clear the rulings
against him,that individual misunderstands
iiow universal sympathy witii the rebellion
is in that State, and how effectually it
sways tin; actions of the great majority of
men likely to be summoned as jurors in the
District Courts of the United States in the
various States. Where a fair trial cannot
he had, in any case, owing to the perversi
ty or violence of local sentiment, it is com
moil for the proper Legislature to pass a"
bill authorizing and commanding a change
of venue. The design of such special leg
islation is simply to secure the ends of pub
lic justice. Congress has analogous powers
and responsibilities. It can provide that
Mr. DAVIS shall be tried in any district it
shall see fit to designate. The exercise of
such discretion could not fairly be regard
ed as unjustifiably indvidious or unneces
sarily harsh. Iu such event the trial would
proceed regularly in conformity to the es
tablished rules of adjudication. The re
sult would bo forced neither by the Court
nor by the jury. Justice would be done,
and whatever might be the verdict, the
laws would be vindicated.
When tlie President makes up his mind
that Mr. DAVIS shall have such a trial as
the gravity of his offences and the majesty
of the law require, he will find little diffi
culty in adjusting details.
CLAIMS ON ENGLAND.
Rumors are afloat that the advisers of
the President are urging him to make a
peremptory demand upon the British gov
ernment for a settlement of the claims aris
ing out of the depredations upon American
commerce committed by the Alabama and
other British rebel cruisers. This course
is urged on the score of policy—as a means
of regaining lost popularity, of reconciling
adverse parties, and of rallying the coun
try around the administration on a new and
different issue. That such a policy may be
talked of is very probable ; but we think
the country is in no humor for plungiug in
to another war just now, nor do we think
there is much reason to be alarmed.
Ia England, on the other hand, there ap
pears tote a growing disposition to settle
these claims on the just principles of inter
national law. Even the London Tims* had
a leading article recently advocating that
course. But anything in the nature of a
threat coming from this side would at once
arrest and turn back whatever current of
public sentiment there may be in England
in favor of a just settlement of those
claims.
THE PARAGUAYAN WAR.- -Another compara
tive success lor the Paraguayans is recor
ded in the history of the war in South Ame
rica. On September 'first the allied fleet,
advancing up the Parana river to co-oper
ate with the projected land attack upon the
outposts of Fort Humaita, came upon a
masked Paraguayan battery. The iron-clad
Rio de Janeiro was disabled by a 68-poun
der shot, and the lleet withdrew until the
•id. The combat being then renewed, this
iron-clad was soon blown up by a torpedo,
and all on board perished. The navy,being
thus disabled, took no further part'ln the
attack, but on the 3rd the allied laud for
ces, alter a desperate engagement,succeed
ed in capturing this battery. The Para
guayans, however, withdrew in good order,
and the allied officers regarded the affair
as in reality a defeat for them,so great was
their loss.
The Indians in Colorado are on the
war path, and have aroused great fears
among the defenseless settlers of that ter
ritory. There is unquestionably a wide
spread understanding among the red men, ■
looking to a general war on the whites, !
which can only be frustrated by vigorous j
efforts on the part of the Government. One
stern lesson will end all Indian hostilities, j

A BAD PLACE TO SMOKE IN.— The Winona
(Minn.) Republican relates that two men,
one of whom was smoking a pipe, started
to leave that place a few days ago in a
buggy in which there was a keg of pow
der. Suddenly the powder exploded, and
the result wns disastrous. The men, who
were named respectively Train and Han
son, were thrown some distance up and
forward. The horse, in addition to losing
all the hair on his tail, became consider
ably demoralized, and ran at the top of his
speed. The two men fell upon the whiflle
trees, and Mr. Hanson, to clear himself of
the wreck, jumped over the wheel and fell
into a mud-hole in a half-stupefied condition.
Mr. Train clung to the pieces, and was
carried forward about a mil at a pretty
rapid pace. On coming to a stop he took
an inventory of the concern, and found
that the buggy was completely s!i ttered,
the bottom and scat gone, and the axles
bent nearly double, so that the four wheels
came almost together. Mr. Train himself
had been stripped of all his outer clothing,
about one-third of tire hair 011 his head, and
and all his whiskers burned oil', and his
eyebrows and lashes gone Yet, strange
to say, he was not hurt in any other way,
and after extinguishing (lie fire in his re
maining clothing, he started back to find
his companion. Upon meeting him he
laughed heartily at the ridiculous figure
which lie presented, but Mr. Hanson did
not laugb, for be was badly injured.
Stsf Pick Turner, the fiend who had
charge of Libby Prison, and who brutally
maltreated hundreds of I'enusylvanians
while held I*ll that den,and lion. J. S. Black,
of York county, who sympathized with Tur
ner's acts,are great favorites with the Pres
ident. The worthies can get interviews at
the White House, when patriotic citizens
are turned from its doors. Turner is anx
ious to be pardoned, and Black wants to
be pensioned with a life office.
Tne HOG CHOLERA IN TENNESSEE.— The
Jonesbore (Term.) Flay says several of the
farmers in that section of the State have
lost every hog that they had by hog chol
era. The disease is not confined to partic
ular districts,as usual,but extends through
out the country, and the complaints are
alarming. If this state of afi'airs continues
long there will not he enough left for home
supply, and much suffering must be the re
sult among the poor classes of the people
during the coming winter.
THE BALSTOU ACADEMY BURNED.— The acad
emy at Ballston, New York, was destroyed
by fire Thursday night. It is reported that
the fire was occasioned by an incendiary,
and that two previous attempts to burn the
academy had been made within a few days.
The academy was burned about three years
ago, and rebuilt by the present principal.
Rev. Mr. Gilmour.
A CHILD OFFERED FOR SALE.— At Montreal
an old Scotchman has been arrested because
he offered for sale at lionscours market a
little girl six years old. lie says she is his
grandchild, and he wanted to go to the
States. He offered her for one hundred dol
lars. The child was sent to the St. An
drew's Home.
TNE QUEBEC FIRE.— The Quebec papers
report that the fire iu that city causes an
immense loss to the stockholders of local
insurance companies, the stock of which
has largely depreciated. Nearly all the
English companies have withdrawn since
the lire. At a public meeting the city gov
ernment has been denounced for the crimi
nal neglect and folly which led to so much
loss of life and property. Jt is now sup
posed that twelve or fifteen persons were
killed. The fire originated in a drinking 1
saloon, where some men were quarreling
over a card table ; a lamp was upset and
the oil igniting, and the flames spread rap
idly among the little wooden houses.
fisd"" Tiic Milwaukee Sentinel says that
ou Friday of last week a girl in the em
ploy of the Wisconsin Paper Company,
while engaged in assorting rags, found
about $1,050 in 7.30 bunds and greenbacks
in an old knapsack which had been pur
chased along with some other rags. She
communicated her good fortune to two of
her companions, and shared the money
with them. They attempted to keep it se
cret, but the purchase of some expensive
article of dress aroused suspicion, and led
to an investigation and recovery of over
SOOO by the Company.

ment of u civil trial of Daviß under the in

bility he will be kept in confinement the
entire winter,that is to say until t< e spring
term of the Court, excepting, of Course,that
Executive clemency does pot interpose and
grant him a parole and release him from
his confinement. 1
In December, when the Supreme Court of
the United States meets, Judge Chase will
be too busy to devote any of bis time or at
tention to other legal matters,and the advo
cates of a speedy trial of Davis, both in the
north and in the south,have nothing to hope
for from the present actions of the judicial
authorities ; neither is it likely that a writ
of habeas corpus will be issued upon the
commandant of the fortress, acting as his
custodian, demanding his deliverance to
the United States Marshal fop incarceration
in a Virginia State jail. As long as he re
mains a prisoner in the hands of the Uni
ted States government he will be retained
here in a United States fortress and guard
ed beyond all possibility of escape.
The statement of United States District
Attorney L. 11. Chandler to Attorney Gen
eral Stanberry confirms this view in assign
ing two different reasons which influence
him in not taking any steps for removing
him from their custody, the one relating to
his safe-keeping, the other to his own per
sonal comfort and health.
TRINITY Ciiip.cn TROUBLES. —A year ago
Trinity Church was, financially, as poor as
a church mouse. In May last a large
amount of finely improved property held by
the Astors under a long lease reverted to
it again; and Trinity vestry found itself in
receipt of an income ofsGoo,ooo per annum,
lu its poorest days it had practiced econo
my with great success, and on entering on
its prosperous career it found that it could
do business in the same style at an annual
expenditure of only sixty thousand dollars.
This would have left, and probably will
leave, the vestry a handsome sum at the
end of the year, unless the numerous claim
ants who have suddenly sprung up succeed
in establishing their claims to the property
which has reverted to the Trinity Church
corporation. There are not less than 700
claimants for various portions of the re
verted property ; and Trinity Church lias
the prospect before it of a generation or
two litigation. This state of affairs is an
other of the windfalls for General ITix, and
may have something to do with his declina
tion of the French mission. For forty
years General Dix has been the counsel for
Trinity Church corporation. His son, Rev.
Morgan Dix, is rector of Trinity parish.—

DEDICATION or THE STONEWALL CEMETERY AT
\\ IXCIIESTEB, YA. —The dedication of the
Stonewall Cemetery, at Winchester, Va.,
took place on Thursday, and was attended
by over five thousand persons. The occa
sion was taken advantage of to transfer
and bury the remains of Gen. T. Ashby aud
also those ui Cols. Marshall and Thompson
—all of the rebel army. This was done un
der the auspices of the Masonic lodges of
the valley. The Ashby brothers were bur
ied with one coffin in one grave. Their only
relative present was an aged aunt, their
n'ster being coufiued at home of typhoid fe
ver. Immediately after these services the
crowd gathered around the stand, and the
affair of the day began, Henry A. Wise de
livered the oration.
The oration, as might have been expect
ed, was an exceedingly treasonable one,
and was followed by an original poem not
kiss treasonable. Every sentiment uttered
of a character in laudation of the purposes
of the rebellion was greeted with expres
sions of intense satisfaction. The crowd
having dispersed, the streets of the village
were soon filled with scores of drunken
men, giving utterances to opinions better
in keeping with the past record of the town
than in harmony with its future good. Sev
eral small rows occurred about the railroad
station, the combatants being left to fight
out their feuds.
No CHOLERA AT THE NEW YORK QCARANTIXE.
—Dr. Bissell, deputy health officer of New
Tork, reports that good health prevails in
hospital and on the Illinois, the hospital
ship. He suggests that the passengers
should be discharged before the winter is
upon them.
fiiar The Hurricanes of this season, in all
parts of the world, were the most destruc
tive ever experienced. In this country,
great destruction of property has resulted
from these causes,while in the West Indies
the loss of life and property has been fear
ful. Late accounts from the West Indies
represent the suffering there as very severe
from the effects of these hurricanes.
