1 HE TRIAL OF MR. DAVIS.
The impression was prevalent tlnooghout
the country that the execution ot Captain ,
Wirx, of Andersonville notoriety, would be |
immediately succeeded by the trial of Mr.
Davis.
Justice to the accused and respectful defer
ence to the popular desire for bis immediate
arraignment before an intelligent aud compe
tent tribunal, if he is to be tried at all, it was
thought, would stimulate the government to
prompt and final action in the premises ; and
this expectation bad been greatly strength
ened bv the occasional confirmatory intima
t: ns w hich escaped from the lips of the
Piesidt-nt in his Irequent interviews with de
putations of American citizens soliciting the
exercise of his constitutional prerogative ot
pard‘ in.
It would seem, however, that a mine of
ttc.micai difficulties, which lay concealed in
the subs:erranean depths of English jurispru
dence, has been suddenly sprung upon the
Executive and the public by the prolound
erudition of Chief Justice Chase ; aud that
our readers may have a perfect comprehen
sion of the wonderful discovery, we give the
following paragraph which has been going
the rounds of the Northern press :
‘'The President supposes that the case ot
Jeff. Davis may be tried before the Circuit
Court in Virginia, of which Chief Justice
Chase is presiding Justice, Virginia being
wituin his circuit. But the Chief Justice
shows that the time which would elapse be
tween the meetiug of the Virginia Court and
the Supreme Court at Washington, would
be so short that it would be folly to com
mence a proceeding that would have to be
abandoned. But the Chief Justice suggests
another obstacle—that the District is sub
jected to martial law, and that he would be
unwilling to hold a court in a State uuder
military control, UDtil C digress shall have
had an opportunity to consider and act ou
the whole subject. He is of opinion that a
civil court in a district under martial law can
only act by the sanction and under the su
pervision of the military power, and that it
would lie unbecoming in Justices of the Su
preme Court to exercise jurisdiction uudtr
such conditions.”
It this statement is rename, it seems iu
the fir»t place, that Judge Chase does not
consider it consonant with the transcendent
dignity of bis Court to sit within a district
held under martial law; and secondly, he
cannot preside over a Court in Richmond,
bi cause he has to be present to preside over
one in Washington. It strikes us that the
two objections of the Chief Justice do not
tally. Is not Washington under mi itary
control? Was it not on that very ground
that the trial of Payne, Mrs Surratt aud
others, was justified?
As will be recollected, an indictment has
been found against Mr. Davis in the District
of Columbia, but upou this the difficulty
presented itself that Davis had uot been per
sonally present in the District, aud could
uot therefore be tried and convicted thee,
says a cotemporary, without overriding very
clear aud positive decisions of Chief Justice
Marshall, which any Court would be slow to
do. It was doubtless this qonsideration, in
conjunction with others, possibly, of less
importance, that has influenced the Presi
dent to postpone the trial for a while longer,
or until the State of Virginia is fully restored
to the Union and the withdrawal of the mili
tary from within her borders; when the mete
technical difficulties presented by Judge
Cuase will have been removed.
The New York World, commenting upon
tbe singular course of the Chief Justice in
this matter, announces a theoretical solution
which is cot without plausibility. That
journal conjectures that the real reasons of
the Judge go deeper. That, in all proba
bility be shares the State suicide opinions of
Sena or Sumner. It is quite certain, at least,
that he opposes the return of the revolted
States without an act of Congress re-admil
liog them. By bolding a Court in Virginia,
previous to such an act, he would virtually
renounce the cardinal principle of the Radi
cal party, by whom he hopes to be elected
President. It is well known the United
Slates Judges have no jurisdiction, and cau
hold no courts except within the limits of
Staten. A. United States Judge holding Mr.
Sumner's opinions, could not bold a court
in one of the revolted States, previous to its
re-admission by Congress. Mr. Chase is
therefore too wary a politician, says the
Worid, to put bis personal influence and the
weight of bis great office, in the scale against
the doctrines of bis radical supporters.

Anguished Masons from every part of the

W. Schroder, and B. Kush Campbell, of

Tbe Courier says :
This high body of distinguished Masons

things .1 interest to tne craft we miy notice
that they appointed lil Bro. Col.Tal'P.Bb.iff

the following persons Honorable members of

His Majesty Christian IX., King of Den

His Royal Highness Constantine Nicola

Illustrious Brother Henry Buist was elect

Prince, deceased.
The Supreme CoudcU adjourned late Sat
urday night, after being in session several
days, to continue their session ou the third
Monday of March next, 1866, at the City of
Washington, D. C.
The prolane world, as Masons call them,
are perhaps not aware that this is the Mother
Council of all the Supreme Councils of the
woild. It comprises among its members
some of the most distinguished men of this
couutiy and Europe.
General Pike occupies the position of the
Supreme Grand Commander of the Council,
and upon its convocation delivered a most
erudite and eloquent address, reviewing tbe
condition ot tbe Masonic Order throughout
the United States and iu Europe.
We make the following extract from the
opening ot the address :
Illustrious Brethren and Sovereign Grand Com
manders :
At the close of the great harvest of that
pitiless reaper, Death, and, while having
paused through mere weariness he rests, we
assemble, from States widely distant from
each other tnd not long since mad with all
the direful passions of civil war, to kneel
together once more around the altar of Scot
tish Masonry, to lament the dead aud to
labor lor the benefits of society, our country
and humanity.
During four terrible years our Temples
have beeu for the most pan deserted, the
ashes ol the fires upon our altars have been
cold, aud the brethren have met each other
as enemies or ceased to commune with each
other. Isolated in most of our States from
the outer world, we have had no correspon
dence with foreign bodies. No attempt has
been made to enlarge the borders of the
At c.eut AcC.pted Scottish Rite. Our sub
ord nvte bodies ceased to meet. The Veil of
the Temple has indeed been rent in twain,
our working tools were broken, aud our
columns lay overthrown and prostrate.
Iu war when hell legislates for humanity
aud all the horrible influences that can de
base and demoralize,men are busily at work.
Masonry can do little eveD to soften the hor
rors aud temper the hatreds of a strife that
she was powerless to avert. In some quar
ters, iudeed, her laws were sought to be
trampled under toot and Masouic priveleges
lobe denied to those whom their brethren
ibought it Masonic piety to brand as rebels.
They torgot that wheu States were arrayed
agaiust Slates in an open war of gigantic
proportions, Masonic chat ity required them
to that their breturen who fought
for political independence, however much
they might be in error, were sincerely and
honestly obeying their conviclious ot duty
without any ol the moral guilt of treasop;
aud they lorgel that, in holdtug them to huve
torleituel their rights as Masons they, them
selves, were led by their passions to violate
their Masouic obligations. But these were
uot permitted to make Masonry, and least of
all, Scottish Masonry, a party to the civil
war waged between Slates. They couipro
mitted themselves alone, and the fire aud
smoke of the battle scorched not her gar
ments. They earned the condeinoaliou aud
contempt of the world of Masoury ; but M-a
soury itself so acted as to be entitled to hon
or aud admiratiou.
With peace tlie opportunity for useful la
bor returns to the Ancieul and Accepted
Scottish Kite. We shall soon be prepared
lo extend il throughoutour jurisdiction ; ami
1 trust that beloro three more years elapse it
will number its initiates by thousands, and
its lodges and higher bodies he found in
every State.
During their stay 111. Bros. Gen. Albert
Pike, Colonel Tal. P. Shaffner and A. T. C.

POLITICAL. MORAL.H Y.
This phrase embraces not only the observ
ance of good faith between nations, but
those lesser moralities that in diplomacy
shuns tbe utterance of falsehood or tbe con
cealment of truth. It was part of the busi
ness of diplomacy in a less enlighteued period
than the present, not only to obtain the se
crets of cabinets by the free use of gold, but
to obtaiu advantages in negotiation by
finesse and other arts which were the oppo
site ol fair and candid dealing. Meu were
chosen as ambassadors more for their in
genuity iu circuinveuliug an oppouenl than
for their ability—more for tbeir powers of
sophistry than lor their knowledge of public
law and tbe usages of nations. One of the
evidences of civilization is that the deceptive
practices of diplomacy have been superseded
by the iugeuuousness that springs from the
love of truth. The negociator of our day
would disdain to employ the arts that form
erly constituted the meaus of triumph in
diplomatic arrangements. Candour is as
much the requisite ol the perfect diplomat as
courtesy.
All who have taken the trouble to trace
the progiess of diplomacy will admit the
truth of this represeulntion. Nearly
allied witli this improvement is that
which rejtcis in parly controversy
the devices that no less involve a breach of
houor, to obtain a political advantage. Iu
this respect we have retrograded. Party
spirit has in our day banished, not only the
courtesies, but that refined seuse of honor
which shuns a breach of its rules as much as
they would a crime that implies moral deg
redation. But party disputes aud contests
lor victory at .he polls have lowered the
standard of political morality. It was ouly
recently that one of the Democratic leaders
at the nominating convention in Albany, N.
Y., of that party, disclosed a purpose com
municated by a leader on tbe other side that
must have been communicated in confidence,
implied if not expressed. Tue effect of tbe
disclosure was to impair tbe strength of the
party, aud to augment that of their adversa
ries.
Such ia the effect of that weakening of
personal responsibility on men who acting
collectively, imagine they may violate with
impuuily the obligations of that moral law
which they consider imperatively binding in
dividually. The party orator who trausends
the line of strict propriety imposed by a re
fined sense of honor is not excusable for
such transgression, because it ia dono for
tbe interests of bis parly and not hia person
al advantage. That the tendency of our
party conflicts ia to degrade and lower the
standard of political morality, is indisputa
ble. While iu the intercourse of nations the
interests of truth and the triumph of princi
ple have marked the records of modern dip
lomacy, party spirit has, in the fierceness of
its zeal, contaminated our domestic dissen
sions.
White Labor for Cotton Culture. —The
Charleston News is informed “by a gentle
man from the Southwest, that he has made
an arrangement at the North for the cultiva
tion of one thousand acres of cotton land by
fifty Swedish laborers; He says that this
plan is being largely adopted in Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. He
also informs us that Northern capitalists are
readily advancing capital for tbe purpose of
planting ou shares ; that societies are formed
that furnish labor for a commission, and that
the effect has already been to advance lunda
that four months ago could have been easily
bought for S2O to S6O an acre.

A correspond cot <>f tbe New York Lx -
press writing ir in Washington under data
of Nov 17th iust., says—
“ It is very dear to my mind from various
unmistakable signs, that the ultra radical
fanatics intend ou the opening of Congress,
10 “cut fantastic tricks before high heaven,”
that if it does not make “angels weep,” may
cause the radicals themselves to shed some
bitter tears ere they a. e the eud and final
result of tbeir ins ine proceedings. My hope,
however, is that there are euougb conserva
tives amoug the Republican members tp
overrule tbe fanatic il portion, and if not,
tbe whole party are destined to go down. _
If they attempt to oppose the President’s
policy of reconstruction, and to insist on
negro suffrage at tbe Sooth, they are des
tined lo overwhelming defeat, for the result
of the reoent elections is no indication of
support to such doctriues, but on the con
trary, these results were an endor-ement of
the President's policyand had they ven
tured to promulgate a platform in opposition
to that policy, or in lavor of negro suffrage,
they would have been signally defeated. ”

Special attention given to Diseases of Females, for
the benefit of whom he will mention that when in
Athena, iu 16ti3, he removed a tumor from the uterus
as large as an infant's head— measuring 7 X inches iu
length—and the patient was perfectly well in a few
days. Tnere has been no return of the tumor, and

Dr. C. has visited Georgia for fifteen successive

We have learned not to be astonished at anything.
Years of experience and a corres-pondence extending
throughout all nationalities of the habitable globe
have turned theories into facts and established a basis
from which we need not err. We are not surprised
at such facts as the fallowing—although the ■'persons
who write them are. We know the persons and cir
cumstances, hence feel at liberty to indorse their
statements;
“New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24, 1863.
Dear Sir,—l have beeu afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet aud
hands, and a general disordered system. I’hysicuns
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends iu New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine-glassful alter dinner. Feel
ing better by degrees, iu a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could sleep the night through, which I have not
doue for years. I leel like auolher being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by me
use of the Plantatiou Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”
