turned gentleman cited various au.
- to show that disqualifications are puu-

qualification for office that the recipients had i his antagoustic position, when he engaged in
never voted for or against a particular caudi- j rebellion, become a public enemy, and thus
date, and thus perpetuate, their power. Tbe vacated -the office which he held. The pa'r-
right of the petitioner to exercise his office is
a species of property and to be considered as
any other right. No man can, under the Con
stitution, be deprived of bis rights until he is
heard according to the forms of law. The
authoTitics sustain the petitioner that he has
rights in this Court, of which he -can be de
prived only by dtie process. The law of Con
gress finds an excuse in the truth that it was a
war act. When it was passed our sons were
falling on many battle-fields. Mothers and
friends were weeping at open graves, and the
public heart was stung te madness and revenge,
but now that peace has returned, let the small
still voice go from this temple to quiet what
ever excitement may exist, and encourage
every one to the performance cf duty, so that
peace and prosjrcrity may shed their blessings
over a once more united people. If we get
from this court sueh a proclamation, then
[hose who believe in a special Providence, and
that not even a sparrow falls to the ground
without His special notice, will-find their faith
strengthened by the accession to the Chief-
Justieesbip of one who enjoys the reputation
of always having been tbe generous friend of
pupular liberty in its most comprehensive
sense.
Attorney General Speed said he rejoiced as
much as Mr. Carpenter, who had just ad
dressed the Court, that peace has agdin retorn-
ed. As he understood the argument that
gentlenftn bad maintained, that while in re
bellion against the United States, Mr. Gar
land was still au officer of this court, with as
much right to it as he had to locomotion and
property. On this Mr. Speed took issue.—
There never was a time when Congress did
not prescribe qualifications for office. The
petitioner arrayed himself with those who not
only endeavored to destroy this Court, but the
Government itself, and thereby ceased to be an
officer. Could not the power that made the
office destroy it? If the position of the gen
tleman was correct, Judge Magrath, who nev
er resigned his place as Judge of the District
Court of South Carolina, but who took part in
the Rebellion,.will be restored to-his position
when he is pardoned by the President. But
the pardoffi would not certainly restore hint.—
Take also the case of postmasters and officers
of the army and navy who participated in the
Rebellion. It certainly would not be contend
ed that a pardon would restore,to them their
offices and regalia. The proposition is that by
his treason, Mr. Garland did not forfeit his of
fice ; and it is insisted that an attorney in this
court holds an office now there are public and
private officers as there are public and private
corporations, and there are offices established
in the Constitution and also by law. t Is the
position of an attorney a private or a public
office? Is it his private property? An at
torney is not admitted to the bar for the pur
pose of giving him office. Congress has said
that the Court may establish rules, and in
1789 tiie qualification fpr the place wgs framed
is it now stands. Other qualifications may be
required, such as the examination by a
hoard of the applicants for admission, Mr.
Speed then controverted the Qther propo- 1
siiiuti of Mr. Carpenter. The place held
by Jan attorney was an office, but what was the
tenure ? When he accepted the otllce did he
not known the court could prescribe such rules
as would deprive hinuof the office ? The power
ot O&ngress over the qualification was known to
him when he entered upon it. The decision had
been made over aud over again that Congress
could prescribe the qualifications. Offices are
held at the will ot the power conferring them,
and the duties may from time to time be changed.-
There is nothing like a penalty in the law ; it is a
qualitje.i'ion. As to whether a qualification isa
penahy depends on the standpoint. A State may
say a person under twenty-one years shall not
vote, or that he shall not vote unless he pos
sesses a property qualification; and this court
oi*F say that a man practicing at its bsr must
hare a fair character, and that he has practiced
for three years in the highest court of his State,
lie would deprecate any act- which would pre
vent reunion, but at the Same time he would de-
sire Congress to pass such laws as would keep
out of high places those who have not been faith
ful to their country in the past. The' time is
Burning, bntwe cannot say so yet with Mr. Car
penter, that peace reigns. The President has not
yel so declared. Those who held office under the
Government, but who went into Rebellion, did
not so behave as to entitle themselves to reocou-
paney. Was there anything irf the spirit of ihg
Constitution, was it so-framed that a pardon ar
rests the arm of justice ? A pardon pre
vents the milictjon of punishment, but it is hot a j'tions
key to enable the patty to unlock
the offices ot Government. .The pardon
was au iron-clad, so to . speak, tor the
purpose of defense. The gentleman re-r
marked that, while the pardon-says the recipient
shall not- be punished, the law of Congress
says he shall; but the President does not say
the petitioner shall practice in this Coart. The,
President only gives him the right of every
otlmr citizen. It is the party’s own fault if he
cannot take the oath. It is simply to give as
surance to the Court that they will not admit
to practice a party wjto has been in the rebel
lion. There is in tbe oath a statement of fact
that the party has not been in rebellion qgainst
the'Unitbd .States. If so, he cannot appear in
this and other legal tribunals. It is,, he re
peated. a fact, and not a test. It has been de
cided by authorities which he quoted, that
while a pardon is a protection against all as
saults for the thing done, it can never be-the
foundation for a claim. If Mr. Garland's of
fice was forfeited wheu he became a public ene-
mv. ie he not coming before the Court with;
the President's pardon apd making it the fbun-
dation Of a claim ? That cannpt be done. It is
a simple protection ; not a weapon of defence,
not a key by which office can be opened. Mr.
Speed admitted that tb cali a man, whobiw re
ceived a pardon, a “ traitor” or a “felon” is
actionable; hut suppose-it'js Said, ‘.‘you iqere.a.
traitor or a felon,” this is not actionable. A
pardon does not wipe eut a fault. It still r<r-
mains. May not CongMSS say speh facts-are
disqualifications ?. Is it not competent for
Congress to say a inu'rderec shall not stand
here ? Is not this embraced in the words
of the bill—of fair' characttf ? -Can it be
said that a man hits a fair character
-who comes here after 'he hat attempted
to destroy the Government? Does tbit that
disqualify him in this Court ? Is it rtot com
petent for- Congress to say that'the pardon
shall not qualify a man. for practice iaTtmW
Court, and cannot the people of a State say,
through their delegated authority, that a man
who has committed a homicide shall never
vote or.bold office? ,VVhqt more power have
the people in convention than Congress b a<l
under the Constitution V Conveptions .ean
prescribe the qualifications of candidate? lor
office. Congress has power just as plenary.—
Mr. Speed maintains, then, that the qualifica
tion in the law is not a penalty. He looked,
ripon it as something which Cepgress may
make it the duty of the Court to embrace —
After farther argument Mr. Speed said be
wanted all the powers of the Government ex
ercised for the purpose of bringing about
peace. No Government bad ever before pass*
eil through so many trials at oar own within
four years. The sjumbering powers
don did not restore him, nor give the petition
er a right he did hot Otherwise possess. He
repeated the oath' prescribed by Congress was
a qualification, and not a penalty, and it was
competent for Congress to prescribe it. Tbe
oath was just both in letter and spirit.
The Hon. Reverdy Johnson will on next
Friday continue tbe argument in support of
the application of the petition.
The remarks of Messrs. Carpenter and
Speed were listened to with marked attention.
The abpve is a mere outline of the prominent
views presented by these gentlemen.

Fcbtbebs, Mgbrob, Dec Iff 1865.
Jeff- Davis, were it not for the occasional stray
paragraphs that work their way into the country
papers so presumptively positive, and yet vague
ly hypothetical, regarding his trial, would soon,
I verily believe, ceaso to he remembered as still a
prisoner here. His self-exiled family, who vol
untarily ^exchanged the sunny South for the cold
climate of Canada, may remember him, and so
the most deluded of his collaborators to overturn
the government, and so the few firoside fanatics
that did so much to get him into his diffionlty,
and, as” a sort of recompense, are now getting up
praying petitions for his pardon; and so his cred
itors, if he has any. But the great multitude
have other cares than curing for him—cares poli
tical, commercial and domestic). Qe has lost his
power, his-prostige, and Is oast aside as no longer
useful—is forgotten. What oare these whether
he lives here or elsewhere; whether he dies in
prison or out of it; whether he breathes hw last in
Christian fashion in bed, or-in a criminal costume,
dangling at the ond of a rope ? He is evidently
fast becoming convinced of his rapidly diminish
ing consequence. His eyes have lost tho con
temptuous Look they once had, and there is less
hauteur of mannor, less reserve and earcasm of
speech. The time may ooino when madly he will
implord life aud pily, when our nation in calm
counoil, and not fevered with thirst of bleed, may
decree his delivery to the executioner, that thou
sands to whom such lesson would prove a whole-
gome teaching, may look on and learn, bow they
perish who betray their country. But this time
is not even yet positive that his trial on the
charge of,treason has been determined upon.—
The nearest approach to anything decisive is the
inference regarding the matter to be drawn from
the President’s Message.
What Davis saj/s About l]is Trial.
Reading the late Message of the President has
not, I am told, ptodiiepd a vary agreeable im
pression upon Mr. Davis as to his trial. He
looked for something more assured on the sub
ject—an assurance, at least t that would have the
effect to quell bis anxiety and- give an inkling
ot the doom awaiting him. As Captain Wu z
slept better when his sentence was made known
to him, as death is frequently preferable to worry
ing,, delay and uncertainty, so Davis would he
more at rest if the simple preliminary tact
Whether he is to be tnedor not, and before what
tribunal, could be made kuo'wn to him.
‘ What do you think ot the President’s mes
sage ?” an officer asked him,
“It is wisely and boldly specific upon every
subject, but the single one concerning me most
vitally—my trial,” replied Mr. DaTis. Quickly
the officer comprehended what the one vital sub
ject was, and his delicacy forbade further ques-
tioning. But there was that in the tone of
response and the look of bitter disappointment
accompanying it, which portrayed more rapidly
and earnestly than Words could hia views and
the keenness of his disappointment.
Jefferson on the Utility of' Bullets.
However Mr. Davis may be disappointed upon
the subject ot bis trial, it has not so far de-
S ressed him but he is yet ready for a joke Gen.
liles came.into his room two mornings since,
and, after exchanging the usual morning saluta
tions, took a bullet from his pocket and careless
ly commenced, whittling it.
•iShpuidn’t waste ballets now,” exclaimed
Davis; “the President’s Message holds out a
possibility of war wrth England, if not also with
Prance,'and bullets may come more in demand
the next four years than the past four years.”
I did Dot think to question my informant
whether the General stopped hid bullet whittling,
but from the fact as now given may be gathered
M r. Davis’ opinion of the President’s Message
from another point of view than that given
above. ,
Jeff"s - Condition and Health.
I started only to write the fact that Jeff Davis
is still a prisoner herfe,"that the fact may,not be
forgotten wholly by the public. He is still in
Carroll Hall; still in a large aud well but plainly
furnished room; still in the enjoyment ot a good
attendance; still allowed abundant reading mat
ter; still permitted bis daily walks on tee para
pet, and last but not least, still granted as re
gards eating, as say hotel bHiff, “fbe best market
affords.” ' Excepting ‘occasional boils, which
trouble him with dob-like persistency, though
happily not quite as plentifully, his health con
tinues good’ The methodical precis on of one
habituated to business, is evident in bis arrange
ment ot his papers and books, and the" same fas
tidiousness upon the subject of dress and clean
linen is stiff a prominent characteristic. Wheu
he walks out he is always neatly gloved, andhfs
jaunty cane bears him unfailing company. Hie
strength of Willis remarkable. It has sustained
him thusfar through a long, ant} what, to ooe of
his active habits, restless energies and grasping'
ambition, must be a torturing . imprisonment.
With this will so indomitable and his resources
of thought and intellect he can stand infinitely
more. . ' -
Mr, Clement C. Clay.
Pate and the national will add purpose that pro
long the 'Imprisonment of Jeff Davis measure,
out the same destiny to Mr. Clay.. From the
lively hope be once h«d for speedy trial and per
sistent writing to Urge for a hearing, he has sub
sided ihto seemipg apathy and patient waiting
for whatever may befiae fitm. He would have
saved mOoh. waste of ink and worry of spirits
be h»d entered on this epurse long ago. Mean-
tiine his health, notwithstanding his Natural deli
cacy of cqashtutfoa continues to improve, as it

Th& Warrant ffor Attachment Against Qe-
neral Wood Vacated—Judge Busteetj > ,
Protests Against the Action of the Presi-
sident,, tfcc.
Mobile, Dec. 12, 1865.
It will be recollected that Thomas G.
A. Dexter, a special "Treasury Agent, was
arrested by the military on tbe charge of
fraud, and that General Wood, com
manding the Department of Alabama,
declined to obey the writ of habeas cor
pus issued by Judge Busteed for the lib
eration of Dexter, on the ground that said
writ was suspended in the Statei by pro
clamation of tlie President, and that the
action of General Wood in this matter
was sustained by tbe President. Yester
day Judge Busteed delivered the final
opinion in this case, saying:
The warrant for attachment against
General Wood will be vacated without
the Court’s consent; but, while acquitting
General Wood, I cannot, even by impli
cation, consent to what I consider an en-.
croachment of the Executive Department
of the Government upon one of its co
ordinate branches. The exercise of these
functions by the President npt only
-allows, but directs disobedience to
these authorities. I claim exemption
from any responsibility of guilt as alleged.
No official station is or ought to be be
yond tbe public watchfulness, and, as
with us all, places and power and acts are
held in trust for the people, I deem it due
alike to them and myself to make the
foregoing statement of facts. I respect
fully protest against the acts of the Pre
sident, and assert that the trial of the pe
titioner, Dexter, cannot lawfully proceed
in any other way than that established
according to the forms now prescribed by
the Constitution, Christian reverence and
obedience to which is the most patriotic
service that either citizen or official cant
render to the Government.

The Great Cotton Fire at Columbus,
- - Miniuippi.
The-Mobile Times of December 2 contains
some interesting particulars of the recent great
fire in Columbus, Miss. Tbe building burned
was known as the “Confederate Arsenal build
ing,” occupied as a government warehouse for
storing cotton. This building was about three
hundred feet long, with two wings, forming
three sides of a square. It was of brick, and
probably cost $75,000 or $100,000.
The fire was discovered issuing from all sides
of the building at once, which fact soon made
it apparent that it would be impossible to res
cue any of the cotton from the flames. There
were about two hundred bales of cotton out
side- the boilding, which were rolled off and
saved by the citizens. Mr. H. Johnson- was
present and personally assisted in getting the
cotton out of the way of the flames. It is es
timated that there were about four thousand
bales of government cotton in the arsenal
building, and all of it was entirely Consumed.
The loss of the cotton and boilding is esti
mated at about one million of dollars.
The cotton and building were guarded by
United States soldiers, and how it could havo
been set on fire, so as to be enveloped in
flames in all parts of the. extensive boilding at
the same time, is a mystery yet to be solved.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of incen
diaries.
