JEFFERSON DAVlS.—Treason is the
highest crime known to the Constitution.—
The treason of JeffersoW Pavia 'and his con
federates has been prolonged and bloody be.
pad precedent. The Government of the
United States owed it to itself to spare no of
foit to arrest the acknowledged Chief of. the
conispiracy. It has seehrekhita, and no sound .
mason can be urged lasi'sbOiald . oot
take its course. If convicted he mast be ex
ecuted, unless for biglf reasons , of state the
,Presideni should commute his punishment. .
The sole question will be, how Davis's. fate
can be made the moat emphatic warning,—
Would it be wiser to disable him forever as
an American citizen;, to banish hina from the
country under penalty of death upon his re
turn, and, sadeprive biro of the. opportunity
of making that anal appeal from the scaffold
as a political victim; which always awakens
sooner or later the sympathy, of, mankind; or
to show the country and the world that a
senator of the Uhited,Statee, Who deliberate-.
ly resigns his office at the capital and, with.
draws to wage cruel and causeless war . againat
the dovernment,, however imposing his re
hellion, may, be, however its scope and dura
tion may convulse. his country to the heart
and command the attention' of the world and
the tap:apathy of 'an aristocracy everywhere,
is still a criminal; and when' arrested by the
law - will be brought to trial, and upon lawful
conviction will be made to stiffer the penal
ty,ler&f.ly-like_the obscurest thief, and will
not be shielded from punishment on the
gonad that his crime has involved' the dee
elation of the country, the slaughter of thou
sands of innocent citizens, and the national
embarrassment of a colossal? Can any les
son be so permanently impressive as the final
proof by the solemn sanction of the supreme
authority that treason against • the 'United
States is not a political difference of opinion,
but a crime whose enormity will.not remit
the legal, penalty?
It is clear that, if Davis shall be ]awfully
convicted, the question must be finally set
tled whether treason shall ever bepunished
in this country as a capital crime. If in his
person the penally is remitted it Can never
be enforced upon any other offender. Tres
son so towering, so sanguinary, so causeless
can never again be committed. If magnani
mity or good policy require that Davis shall
not suffer,they—require that treason shall
cease to be•accounted a capital crime.—Har

THEN AND NOW.—During the pro.
'gress of the Rebellion, the first couple of
years especially, it was not an uncommon
thing to hear persons in the loyal, States ex-.
press sympathy with the South, They even
flaunted their "Copperhead", and “Butter,
nut" badges in, the light of day, and boasted
of the superiority of Southern valor. How
must these miserable reptiles now leel? The
great head of the "chivalry," first a prison
er in petticoats, and finally in manacles, a•
waiting a traitor's doom. The disappointment
of those here who Welcomed the rebels so I
cordially and treated them with such mark
ed hospitality in 1.863, must be great indeed.
JEFF.—It now appears in evidence 'ttat
the a'rch•traitor, JefrDavis, with whose cause
soft- , a ted_reinale_seee a sympa a aas a
actually justified the cowardly assassination'
of President LINCOLN , and expressed a re

It is not strange that justice should over
take such a bloody-handed villain.
LEGAL TENDER N.OTES.—A decision
was rendered at Harrisburg on the 25th ult.,
by the Supreme Court of this State, in the
case of Wm. Shelleoberger vs. Mary W.

in this _feeling of sincere. condolence, I am
verily persuided, from can learn of prig

is' not a man,,rwomon, or child, capable of
thinking, widu these tritish Isles, that does .
not fully, join. Mingled with a generous deg
testation of, the 'atrocious crime, there is, I
do believe. , one nniversal expression of warm
est, sympathy and untreated sorrow.
Some of our more popular journals, bays'
actually gone into mourning on the occasion,
as they, would have.done, had the case been
that of the sovereign of these realms. Of
papers, of this,deepription T. send you one as
a specimen. .
Yesterday, according to the usage or cen

the religious mummities in. this pity. And
it moy lamest you and the good people in
America to learn, that in most of our pulpits

country, under the overwhelming calamity
that has overtaken it.

And you may depend upon it, thatif there
was less manifestation of sympathy than
might be expected or desired, this arose
wholly from misapprehension or ignorance of
the'principles involved and the real endisand
objects contemplated in •the mighty warfare.
And rad may be very sure that, just in pro

will continue to rise higher and higher, wi

• lion.
We take from the Tribune the following
interesting facts, from their special cOrres."
pondence:
The terrible news from America arrived
here last Thursday by telegraph. It fell up
on the city like a thunderbolt from a clear
sky. The little American colony here was
almost crushed by it. Business was suspen
ded, and they met together to relieve their
anguish by mutial sympathy. The excite
, eilt amoog_all classes was ve_r_.
In losurrec-
one feeling was expressed by all, of deep sor
row for the loss sustained by the world, of
hearty sympathy with the North, and of in
expressible horror at the crime.
The Ametican comniunity had been invi
ted to meet on Saturday, at the residence of
the United States sinister, to eele'orate our
great victories; but the meeting was chang
ed into one of mourning.
The American minister is receiving ex-•
pressiont of sympathy from every side—froin
the .Porte and the foreign embassies, and,
what is still more significant, from the peo
ple of all the different nations which are con
gregated together in'•Constantinople.
Winstead of a Crown, to possess which
he struck at freedom and civilization, Jeff.
Davis now wears the iron manacles fitted for
a criminal of his grade. He struggled like a
viper when the blacksmith riveted the jew
elry of treason on his limbs, but his rage was
impotent, and the defeated traitor'now lies in
chains. His next ornament will be a hal-

assistant, obedient to , orders, entered the

with them the manacles. It was announced
to the ex-President of the caved-id South
ern Confederacy that they had come to put
irons upon him. looked tat these, sons of
Vulcan with all the sternness of his nature,
and once proud bearing and uoflinehing eye,

net submit to it, etc. • He-asked to see the
pohmander of the ,fort, asserting that there
must be some mistake in thu matter.•

froin. •
The commandant could not be seen, but
upOn being told the orders were direct from
Washirigtob and must be executed, he, still
resisted, threatening vengeance upon the men
if they attempted to perform their work.
Rather than submit to . this ,he exclaimed,
"Take my life 1" "Order the guards to shoot
me'." ete.
Additional guards were called, and the
work was undertaken. b
"HIS flightless" struggled, most obstinate
ly, until finally it belatne necessary, to lay
him upon his back on the, floor of, the cell,
and hold him there while the manacles were
being riveted to his ankles. After conclu
ding the work, owing to great exertions in
resistance, the "mighty fallen" was almost
exhausted.. Never .befgre was so proud a
spirit, so strong' a will, so completely sub
dued.
Like Cromwell, he 'might well repeat the '
soliloquy:—"Firewell a long farewell, to all
my greatness ?" After being thus securely
ironed, and realizing that 'resistance was use
less, he measurably subsided into a calmer
Condition, thinking, perhaps, of the many . 1
poor soldiers who suffered and were - starved
in his Rebel 'lndies, on his account; and by
his order and Permission. Possibly he came '
to a realizing sense that their comfort and

Like "IVl'Fingal's gun", it has "recoiled,
and knocked the owner over." Good, sub
stantial soldier fare is given the prisoner, just
as it is distributed to others. As be has
grown somewhat misanthropic, itdicative, to
a certain degree, of desperation, it is thought
best, in. order that justice may not be cheat

destructive weapons out of his reach. flenee,
