if he has ciuimittml ireasou, as the Abo

''divinity of gavsrnment,'' uwert, he is at

Shullz. Tbco springs were discovered

who had previously visited the Wesiurn

a continuance of the war and sti 1 higher

End of the Conspiracy Trial the
Alleged Complicity of Davis.
Now that the evidence is all in and the
arguments all submitted, the deliberations
and finding of the military commission will
ho screl Tho sentences it pronounces
must be fubmitted to tho President for his
approval. The evidenco taken during
tliefiiat three or four tlayy was sufficient to
juftify the conviction of all tho principal
pnrues on trial as accomplices in tbo mur
dur of Mr. Lincoln, Had tho same par
ties been indicted and arraigned beforo a
civil court, there can be no doubt that a
jury would have brought in a verdict of
guilty. ;o far ds regaads these particu
lar prisoners, the cuds of justice would be
just as Mirely attained by one mode of
i trial aj by tbo other: and if no other trial
i "
could ever take place under circumstances
of deep excitement, It would be a matter of
indifforeuce whether these conspirators aro
punished by military or by civil authority
With regard to tho guilt or iunooenoo
of these particular parties the question is,
therefore, of no itnpni tance ; and unless
some end was fought to bo attained apart
from their conviction, there was no nccos
sitv for a military couit. Tho military
commission must seek its justification in
some general principle, and not in the ex
igencies of this particular easa, where pre
ciscly the samo result would have been
reached by a civil trial'. The important
question iuvolvod in the choice of courts is
whether the precedent now set is likely lo
prove salutary ; which, again, resolves
itself iuto tho comparative eaiety of civil
and military trials. The question, thus
stated, should bo deemed lo answer itself.
All the reasons for the indrpentlenco of
judges arc equally reasons against trials
by o military commission, in which tho
judges are iho immediate dependents aud
bright iu appearance as the day the com- pppointees of tho prosecuting authority.
ocratic or Republican, that would not ap
plaud it as u conspicuous proof of tho
President's uprightness, independence, and
sacred ropect for the Constitution. It
would uudo, at a stroke, the jai iful ap
prehensions that havo grown up in so
many minds, that tiro war has perma
nently impaired tho respect of the govern
ment for constitution il restrainst.
Thequostion presented for decision in this
case entirely different from ono with which
it might bo couufoiunlcd' It is nut, as in
tho easo of tho rebel chief, whether tho
persons shall, or shall not, be puni-hed ;
for on that point, we take it, there is no
difference of opinion , but whether an not
shall be done which will prevent Iho dan
gerous praelioes which have pruvailcd dur
lug tho war from being drawn into prece
dents in time of peace. All fears on this
head can be removed by a few strokes of
President Johnson's pen, without at all
impairing tho certainty of Justice upon
these priionors. Tho evidence against
them is so conclusive that no jury to whom
it may bo submitted will fail to convict.
Iu the reward offer d for tho appre
sion of Davis, he was charged with oom
plicitj iu the assassination ; but the evi
dence produced in iho (rial wholly fails
to sustain the charge. In fact, there is
no proof of it whatever, although Judgo
Bingham, in his extravagant speech sum
ming up the evidence, said : "Whatever
may be the conviction of others, "my own
conviction is that Jkpferso.n Davis "is
as clearly proven guilty of this' conspiracy
"as is Joun Wilkes Booth, by whoso
hand Jefferson Davis inflicted the mor
tal wound "upon Aiiraiiam Lincoln."
There is a short and easy way of test
ing the sincerity of this couviction, if anj'
body iu authority should profess to share
If Davis is as olearly provon guilty
as Wilkes Booth ho can bo convicted of
this particular crime. If Booth bad not
been shot, there is no doubt that any
court would have, found him guilty of mur
der. Now, if tho proof against Davis is
equally couclu;ive,the government is whol
ly without excuse if it hcsitate3 for ona
moment in oidering his trial for tho samo
crime. It it certain that the government
will not do this, and that no judicious friend
of the go7ernm;ut would advise it. Every
man qualified to Judge of evidence knows
that an attempt to conviot Davis of this
murder would break down. The govern
ment is so convinced of this, that the at
tempt will never be mado, There is not
a scintilla of proof connecting Davis with
this conspiracy ; nothing to show that hu
over consulted with the conspirators, or
bad any knowledge of their project,
The strained and extravagant attempts
to brand Davis with that most atrocious
crime, prove that, in iho estimation of his

uot rusted in the least. This place I did
not visit, and only relate what was told to

Ml the reasons for trial by a jury, whose
impartiality is secured by their selection
by lot, are equally reasons against trial by
a comiui.-sion whoso members aro scleoted
by choice,the prosecutor being tho chooser
The Constituiion guarantees a jury triil
in all criminal p'osecutions, except in ca
ses aribing iu tlio laud aud naval scrvico ;
the exception resting on the principle that
the dilatory forms of civil proceeduro aro
inconsistent with military discipline and
efficiency. It would bo tho height of ab
burdity to esy, that tho trial of thc.-e con
epirators by a civil court, would obstruct
discipline, in Iho army, or in any way im
part its ifficisnoy. So that there is no
reason founded on the necessities of this
particular caso, for departing from the
ordiuary mode of trial ; and there nro all
the reasons against such deparluro whioh
thore are for tbo indopendouoo of judges,
and trial by impartial juries. This mili
tary trial is all tbo nioro dangerous as a
prccedont from tho fact that, in this par
ticular easo, it works no spcoifio injuitice
to tho parties on trial.
We truU that when Prosidont Johuson
comes to review tho proceedings of this
commission, ho will let asido its sentence
on tho ground that it bad no jurisdiction
and order a trial of tbo samo persons by
a civil court. This is tbo most popular
act be oould tlo There is not an influen
tial newipaper in the United SutesDein
accusers, as well as of tho rest of tho
world, assassiuation is considered as afar
blacker crime than rebellion. If a man
were notoriously guilty of a rape, nobody
would attempt to blacken his character by
strenuous attempts to prove that bo bad
committed a laroenj'. If Judge Biugham,
and tho like of him, considered ireasou as
the most atrocious of all crimes, they
would not deem it so important to provo
Davis guilty of murder. There have beeu
numerous remonstrances, on both sides of
tho Atlantic, against iho execution of
Davis ; but not a voice; has been raised,
anywhere, to say that bo bhould not bo
bung if guilty ol complicity iu the assas
sination. Whioh is as convincing a proof
as could be given that the common ccn-o
and moral judgment of tho world regard
tho ordiuary crimes against soeb'ty as of
deepar turpitudo than rebellion against
a government. And this judgment is em
phatically (though uuwit'ir.glj) iudor-cd
by those who think lo blacken Davis's
charaotcr by atousiug him of murder.
