Will lie be Tried?
Tbe impression seems to have been made
extensively that Jeff. Darts will nol be tried
fur treason in November, or at any other
time. And, however this impression may
have originated, there appears to be no con
tradiction given to it from p.ny quatter. We
have no authority to ray, it is a mistake.—
It mav be entirely true, for aught we know
11 tt'» contrary. It may bo that it is an easy
and adroit way of giving him a release from
'all accountability for his c nductiu heaJi ig
a formidable and bloody insurrection, by
which the government of the country was !
endangered an! hundreds of thousands of
its citizens brought to untimely r.ul violent
death".
But it in easy te see why this imprcapion
should not be corrected, ihe honor of law
and government a e implicated in it. Tbe
Riving of bonde for appearance at court is a
p-oper ground for affecting that appearance
at the specified time. Bail is not buying
off the accused fom trial. And to suppose
such a thin* wou 1 be an iaeul to ths
court receiving bail, as well as to the law.
It would be equivalent to compound ng a
felony. It would affix to tbe court tbe 112 dly
os well as iniquity ol deliberately se.tling
itself to the task of dishonoring itself. The
effect of this impression with regard to Da
vis, if extended to other o isee, would be to
render bail worthless and to bring the ad
ministration of law into contempt It would
have been better, were the design to escspe
trial, to have discharged the culpritby sim
ple proclamation.
We do not, however, believe that the in
tervention of the judicial authorities was to
give Jeff. Davts final discharge- We pee not
any evidence of such an intention, although
it may have been the design and expecta
tion of counsel and of tbe bail. And we
shall only with reluctance change this con
viction j for, although we care little about
the criminal himself, whether he swings or
runs, yet we should regret deeply such dis
credit done to the laws and the courts of the
country, and we should consider every per
son who might have occasion to appeal t:>
the laws a little less likely to get and
right, alter this procedure, than we thought
him before. The sacredness of the admin
istration of justice requires that Davis should
appear at the specified time, and on ap
pearing, shonld he tried for treasori. And
unless we are greatly mistaken in the sen
timent of the country, tbe loyal and justice
loving people look to Chief Justice Chase
with a feeling that he has a responsibility in
the future of the case, and expect him to
protect the law from any wrong or damage
intended by any party.— Put. Com.
Mr. Greeley in the Davis Case.
If the way of transgressors is hard,
that of philonthrophy cannot be 9aid to
be easy. Horace Greeley's philanthropy
in the Davis case has placed him in a
not very desirable position. Poople gen
erally think he means all right, yet some
will reflect that Mr. Davis's war on the
Union cost Horace neither son, brother
or father ; that he lo»t neither arm or leg
in theconfliot ; that his breathing,is in
no way iro peded by a partially healed
wou nd ; that he never had an Anderson
ville dinner or a Uelle Isle bedor that,
he did make 8100,000 by writing a book
on the wary that if Mr. Davis had made
no rebellion, Mr. Greeley would have
written no record of it; that when Davis
get* $5,000, Horace will still have $95,-
000, and that, maybe, without knowing
it, of courso Mr. Greeley may find it
easier to forgive injuria* done to others
than he Would find it to pardon similar
injuries, if doue to himself. It is b. •
right to say that Mr. Greeley denies that
he thrust himself into this business; he
says he offered togo Davis's bail "be
cause the leading counsel for the prisoner
thought it important." He sayt further,
that ''if any other name would have an*
swered as well, they would not have prof,
ffered mine." "I only know that they
would not have required me to face thii
deluge of mud if they had not believed it
necessary." Mr Greeley was convinced
Davis could not be tried by a jury in Vir
ginia that would do him justice, which
being the case he thought there could be
nothing so proper as letting him out on
bail. We infer that Mr. Greeley does
not expeet any further proceedings will be
had in the case.
THI N. Y. Sun asks " what did tho war
■decide," and after reviewing the States right*
difficulty, says :
'• The Kan-as trouble very nearly brought
it on, and tbe John Brown affair likewise
nearly answered the purpose. It was not the
elect'on of Lincoln, nor the anti-slavery
crusade which oaused the war. An old
principle was at stake, and nothing but
blood-letting oould bring the contention to a
close."
'l'ben, after reheareing the result, and
claims set up bv Democrats North and
'South, the writer adds :
" As the matter now appears the war has
decided nothing but the military superiority
of the North."
A mistake. Acoording to the recent in
terpretation at Richmond, it has decided
that treason is hon< ratle and profitable; that
an attempt to break down this government
is so meritorious that whnt would be mur
der, and punished as such if done in private
life, becomes a bailable offence if .done in
that attempt. The end sunotifi.es the nt'ians;
and the destruction of the Uuion is so desir
able an end that, having in view all the
urinies committed by Mr. Jefferson Davis,
make hiiaguilty of an offence the penalty of
which is afioeorshort imprisonment.—rVW.

Union Republican Primary
Elections and County Con
vention.
At a meeting of the Union Republican
C' Uniy Committee, held in Butler, on Mon
day, the 15th ihst., it wu
Retolred, That the Union Republican vo
ters of Bhiler county, arc hereby requested
to meet in their respective election <iistric:s
throughout the county, on Saturday, the
first of Juue, next, between the hours of
one and seven o'clock, p. m., of said day,
and vote by ballots for candidates lor nom
ination for the different offices to be filled
at the fall election, te wit.
One person for Assembly.
One person for connty Commissioner.
One person foi Treasurer.
One person for county Auditor.
One person for Jury Commissioners.
And further, to select one of their number,
in each district, as delegate to convey said
vote, and meet similar delegates on the fol«
lowing Monday, at one o'clock, p. m , in
the Court House, lor the purpose of casting
up said votes, declaring the nominees, etc.
The following resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That the local boards, at the
primary elections, are instructed to receive
the vote of no person not known to he a Re
publican, and that the local boards shall each
return to the county Convention, a certified
list of all persons who have voted at such
elections. C. E. ANDIRSON, Ch'n.

Primary Election.
Republican voters of Butler county are
aware of the fact that Saturday next, being
the Ist. day of June, is the day on which
the primary elections for the nomination of
candidates to be supported at the fall elec
tions, takes place.
It is the privilege of every Republican
voter, and no others, to attend these meet
ings and make choice of those whom he may
desire to support at the general election.—
It may be viewed also as the hounden duty
of every Republican yeter to exercise this
privilege. It has been purchased and main
tained at great-cost and sacrifices, and should
he highly esteemed and never, if possible,
neglected. Every Republican voter should
so ar.ange his business as to be present at
our primary elections, and deposit his bal
lot for the man of his choice- We would
then have a full expression of the party and
every citizen would thus far have performed
his duty, so far at least as the act of voting
is concerned.
Many of our Republican friends are
entirely too careless in the performance of
this high privilege, Circumstances should
be very pressing and urgent to be a sufficient
excuse for a neglect of this high preroga
tive. We would, therefore, urge the per
formance of this duty upon our Republican
friends in every district of the county. The
difficulties through which we have but lately
parsed, as a nation, show the importance ol
every citizen doing his duty politically, ai
well as religiously. We trnst, therefore,
on next Saturday, every voter identified with
the Republican party in this county, will
take time enough to attend the primary elec
lions, atyj thus express his preference of the
gentlemen now before the people fo nomi
nation. •
JQy ALL branches of the Presbyterian
church, except the Southern, are moving for
union, but all «112 the latter decline union with
the Northern branches. The colored mem
bers of these churches wish to form such a
union, hut the white members refuse, and
the congregations are so mixed that a sepa
tion between colored and wLite would de
stroy many if not most, and the great quea
turn of construction, reconstruction, 01 de
struction becomes one of pressing impor
tance.

i THE Jacksou Mi*si#sippian, of the 15th
, instant, sayst " Honorable W. L. Sharkey
has reached his home in this eity direct
from Washington. Our distinguished Sen
ator is very emphatic in his opposition to a
convention, and very wisely concludes that
enfranchisement once bestowed upon the ne«
groes by the act nf the State oan never be
abrogated. Judge Sharkey is clearly of the
opinion that the South is in a great Pleas
ure responsible for her own degradation.—
The rendy acceptance of many of her dis
tinguished men of the humiliating condi
tions proposed has retarded the advance of
conservatism, if it has not hope
of constitutional government. The courae
of journals in tbe South, especially those
edited by secession editors, who have kissed
the black robe of the conspirators, has been
specially landed and gloriecftn by tip radi»
cal press. This is thn everlasting hammer
used by them to crush out the efforts of men
North and South, who are striving for lib
erties."
CoHKissiONxa ROLLINS has promulgated
an important principle, which the Assessors
and others concerned in the administration
of tho internal revenue are apt to forget.—
Their general principle appears to be to in
terpret the law adversely to tbe tax-payer
on every point of doubtful construction, to
take advantage of their power and decide in
favor of the government. Mr. Rollins, on
tbe other hand, reminds line of his official
correspondents that the construction of the
Tax law should be controlled by the dispo
sition of Congress in regard to it; and since
that disposition was last session decidedly
in favor of the tax-payer, tbe rale should be
to decide doubtful points in the tame apirit.

IMPORTANT ORDER. —An important gen
eral order on Registration has just bean is-,
sued by General Pope. The tollowing are
the salient points : The States of Geotgia
and Alabama tre districted and freedmen
placed on every board of Regiatration, Reg
isters to take the iron clad oath, and to ex
plain to all, their political rights and;privi
legts. The right to register and vote is gov*
erned by the military authorities. Violence,
thieats, or any oppressive means to prevent
persons from registering and voting, to be
followed by immed : ate arrest and trial by a
military commieeion. Mo contract with la
borers, depriving them of wages for any
longer time than actually oontumed in reg
istering or voting, will be permitted to be
enforced under penalty of arrest and trial by
the military. In cases of desturbancis at
places }f registration or polls, the civil au
thorities are ta be called upon to afford pro
tection, and in their default the military
will see such protection given. CUvil offioers
refusing to protect registers or voters, will
be arrested by the military, and tried by a
military commission.
TM CROPS— Loss OPCATTLI.— The Report
of the Agricultural Department for April
says : " Never has there been so general
an expression of encouiagement in view of
the fine condition of the winter wheat since
the establishment of the [resent system of
crop statistics. In more than nine-tenths
of the returns received the condition of the
crop is reported as favorable and promising.
From the South the returns are as cheering
as from the West. Here and there it is
stated a smaller bredth, from lack of labor
or from bad weather in the fall, was sown
or drilled. In a few places winter killing is
reported"
The report states that the loss of cattle,
from actual starvation and exposure, the
last winter, is extraordinary. Even in| the
mild climate of Texas, one-tenth of the stock
is dead. In the territories similar losses are
reported. In llall county, Nebraska, one
tentb of the cattle perished in consequence
of the gronnd being covered with sn.'W from
the middle of December until the first ol
April. Such is the tenor of letters from the
South and younger States of the WeSt. The
most of the loss, it is added, was plainly
avoidable with the proper expenditure ol
foresight and industry.

BENZONIA (Mich.) April 18/67.
MUM ANDERSON : ,
Dtar Sir : I eupnosa the readers of ibe 1
Citixen would like 10 hear something about ■
this "wooden country," at least such would
be the case with those who bare an idea of
•miniating and hare not jet determined
where to go. If any one wishes to emigrate
and has plenty of energy to carry him ihro',
let him cone here ; if he has not, we don't
want him. This country is called the "Grand
Traverse Region." If you look at the map
of Michigan you will see, on the East coast
of Lake Michigan about 45° North latitude,
a largo bay running South East about forty
miles into the land. This is called ' Grand
Traverse Bay," and gives name to the coun
try immediately adjoining it.
Just now this country is filling up with
settlers as fast as any portion of the West.
Why it has been overlooked so long I can
not conceive. It unites almost all the qual
ities that are desiiable in a new country.
And first, how to get here. The cheapest
way is unque>tionably to tnke the cars from
Pittsburgh to Cleveland, and a boat from
there to Northport or Glen Arbor. The
fare on the Railroad Is five dollars, and on
the Lakes eight dollars. From Northport
there is a small steamer, the "Sunnyside,"
running daily to T reverse City. If you wish
to come to Traverse City, or to Benzonia,
take a steamer for Northport. If you wish
to come to Glen Arbor take oue of the North*
ern Transportation Co.'s boats and they will
land you at the spot in abiut three days.
From Traverae city to Benzonia, there is n
semi-weekly stage which passes through this
place to Muskegon and Grand Haven. An
other way to reach thia place is to come by
rail, via Cleveland and Detroit, to Grand
Haven, and then take the Stage. A third
is to take the cars to Chicago, and boat from
that place to Traverse city. This is fully
as quick as any route, but you miss the
beautiful scenery of thsStrait* of Mackinac.
We had some difficulty in getting here.
We landed at Glen Arbor, rnd the neitday
James and I walked through to Benzonia,
to find some way of transporting our box<-B
to this pises. (We had failed atGlen Arbor.)
The next day we walked down to Frankfort,
distant ten miles, and found a man wl o
said he could go, in about ten days. We
returned to Benzonia, and the next morn
ing started baok to Glen Arbor whioh we
reached the same evening, having traveled
in three days over seventy miles, nearly all
on foot. At Glen Arbor we fund a boat,
which had been wniting for us for a day.—
I started in the boat, and the rest by land.
(We had brought a horse with a lady's sad
dle from Benzonia ) In a few hours I land,
ed at frankfort in the midst of a storm. The
next morning (Saturday,) I got my good*
into a large scow, and darted to pole my
way up the Betsie River alone, much to the
astonishment of the "natives'' who never
hink of attempting t!ic trip with less than
five men. As tlie scow wns capable of hold
ing fifty barrels of flour, and had about
eighteen hundred weight aboard and the
current was pretty swift, 1 did not make
much progress, and in fact had not gone
more than a mile, when 1 met James com
ing to look forme. He lied his skiff behind
and took another pule, and together, we
succeeded in getting about half way up,
and walked the rest of the wuy. The next
Monday we went back, and by evening had
t:cd up at the landing, a mile below this
place, having established our reputation as
boatmen the first trial. The next day we
got our goods up to town. I must defer a
description of the country to my next.
Yours truly,
W.J. YOONO.
IT it pretty well established now that
Chiel Justice Chase fully intended to try
Jefferson Davis at Richmond, about the
piesent time, and that the fruitruiion of
thie intention by the erratic Judge Under
wood was not deemed within the scope of
probabilities. But a day or two before the
bailment of Davis, Judge Underwood an
nounced this intention of the Chief Justice.
The question therefore arises, why did Judge
Underwood frustrate the arrangement, by a
proceeding so contrary to all his out-giv
ing#? It is true the United States District
Attorney was not prepared to proceed, but
this looks very mueh Ike a part of tho ar .
rangement. There is room tor an explana
tion in the case. Who shall make it?— Pitt.
