LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THESITT AIN COUNTY
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1806.
THE TRIAD OF MR. DAVIS.
Rumor from Washington says a delegation
of radical Republicans, including General
Butler, waited on the President last week,
and urged hint tc order the trial of Mr Davis
by a military court, to be composed of Gen
crals GraDt, Sherman, Thomas and Sheri Ian
and that Mr. Johnson respectfully but firmly
declined to accede to their wishes, on the
ground that such a proceeding would be a
violaiion of the Constitution, which confers
jurisdiction in all such cafes upon the judicial
department of the Government, aod to
exercised only in the district where the
offence is committed.
This statement if true, indicates that it is
the purpose of the administration to biing
Mr. Davis to trial before the United States
Circuit Court of Virginia, when the diffi
culties at present in the way, as presented by
Chief Justice Chase in his recent letter tp the
President, are removed.
Although concurring in opinion with the
President as to the question of jurisdiction,
and according as we do to him a sincere
desire to secure to the distinguished prisoner
an impartial trial, nevertheless we cannot
but deprecate his arraignment before Chiei
Justice Chase, for the reason that the Supreme
Court of the United States has no appelate
jurisdiction confided to it by the laws
of the United States, and fjiat tribunal
cannot entertain a writ of error, as we
bevo been informed by an eminent ju
rist, to revise the judgment of the Circuit
Court in any case where a party has been
convicted of a public offence. The Supreme
Court announced that to be the law in 1822,
in the case of ex parte Kearnej'. There has
been no legislation since that time to vest
the Supreme Court with the power of review
in such casts. A judicial decision by a
single judge could give no 6uch authori
tative for£e to his opinions as is contemplated
by those who, in common with the President,
mske the point that judicial determination is
necessary to give solemnity to the opinions
entertained on that subject. Mr. Chase has
borne so prominent a part in the political
acliuu of the Government before and during
the late struggle, his opinions have been so
often expressed in official action, that no
weight could possibly attach to the announce
ment of them in a judicial form. His con
clusions will be received by the country as
foregone conclusions, not the calm utterances
of the oracle,of the law, after unbiased and
tranquil investigation of the merita of the
esse apart from any previous coloring of the
mind. Under the circumstances in which
the Chiet Justice is placed, it would be un
fortunate for him, untortunate for the coun
try, unfortunate lor that veneration in which
the judiciary is held by the people, that he
should be the individual to pronounce with
out appeal, upon the question of political
right and personal justification springing
from the doctrine of secession.
Wo think rather than that the matter
should be determined in this manner, it
would be better for the interests of
ety that these political questions should be
i_c* —i—. tbv ouiwiuu wiax oj battle has left
them. If Congress, in view of the point of
difficulty we have suggested, should under
take to legislate upon the matter in their
present temper, any law they might pass
would, it is teared, partake more ot tW.Ylfc
lent parlizan spirit which actuates the ma
jority than the calm justice of a measure dic
tated by a patriotic regard for the public
welfare.
The stainless purity of the Judiciary no
less than the sanctity ot the jury-box lie at
the foundation of all free institutions. They
constitute the barrier between tyranny and
freedom. Political opinions, right! and
powers, constitutional limitations and suar-
autees, are as nothing, if the rock on which
liberty is founded be broken in pieces. If
there be a doubt whether secession be a po
litical right, an amendment of the constitu
tion can settle the question for the future by
explicit declaration, but if the ermine ot
justice is to have a shade cast upon its
purity, then may we have cause to con
clude that free institutions are a vain
dream.

That Sew element Is already found, end baa begun

should not fear but that WS oonld
part of tho world in the cheyneeerfiheir fabric,
tion. If corporation, weilding great capital and
directing large bodies of Ignorant and hireling work
men can achieve oheap production, a community with
eoual capital and a body of workmen who are intelll-
£ ent and interested partner, can certainly equal them
i efficiency-
•• Thus from every point of view, the solution of the
questions which now perplex people about protection,
free trade, the relations of labor and capital, cheap
subsistence, the organization of Industry and the
■olidarity of nations, is found in communism. The
Americans do not go to Europe for their ideas, but
strike out new ones for themselves. If prairies are to
bo reaped they do not cling to the old hand-sickle, but
invent a reaping machine. By machinery they have
thus revolutionized sewing, watch making, shoe mak
ing, fire arms, printing, Ac., sending back the results
of their ingenuity to astonish the Old World. They
are ready now to do tha same thing for society; and
instoad of depending on the old-world system of a
protective tariff for their development, they will meet
the wretched, worn-out, imbecile social organization
that elsewhere prevails, with an invention of unity
such as will produce a universal and untaxed plenty
undreamed of heretofore."
BT TELEGRAPH.
We have quoted the argument of The
Circular at leDgth as Illustrating the influ
ence of machinery on the question of produc
tion. It professes to have solved this ques
tion through the agency of communism as
the means of cheapening production. *‘By
machinery they have revolutionized sewing,
waicli making, shoe making, fire arms, print
ing, &c., sending back the results of their
ingenuity to astonish the old world.” Now,
if in these arts tho artlzens are able to main
tain a competition with the artificers of the
old world, why not in the manufacture of
cloth and iron, and the other fabrics for which
protection is claimed ? -If the workman of
the “Wallingford Community" are able to
fabricate steel traps, by the invention oflabor-
saving machinery, why should protection be
required for ladies leather bags f It would
surely only require to produoe cheaply every
species of manufacture to render pro
tection unnecessary. We have no doubt, as
asserted by the Editor of The Circular,
that the agency in those occupations
which have succeeded without the
aid cf protection, such as shoe
making, watchmaking, the manufacture of
fire-arms, &c., has been in a great measure,
labor-saving machinery. Nor do we dispute
the influence of commuoism in a limited de
gree in producing some of the effects claimed
for it by The Circular. The reduction in
the costs of living among Communists to
$2 40 per week for each person, would go
farther, it appears to us, iu cheapening the
costs of production than labor-saving machi
nery; but the question after all, is the ex
tent to which the principle of communism is
susceptible of applieftion. What would be
adapted to a community of the size of Wall
ingford would not admit of general applica
tion. The experiment, however, is an inter
esting one. After several failures in the
United States, it is the only one that seems
to have met with success.

Speech of the Emperor Maximilian.
PROTECTION AND COMMUNISM.
# There is a social body in the United States
conducted on tbe principles of communism,
called "tbe Oneida aod Wallingford Commu
nities.” It has an organ entitled “The Cir
cular,” which is an ingenious exponent of its
views. Various trades and occupations are
carried on successfully within its limits.
“The Circular” affirms its belief in the prin
ciples of free trade, as consonant to the so
cial and industrial system on which tbe com
munity of which it is the expositor is
founded. It speaks in the following terms
in a late issue on the subject:
“The TBorECTivE System.—Now that the wir is
over, and tbe attention of the
arts of peace and the means
debt, the dispute between tho
tar ill and those of free trade is waxing loud. The
quest-on is indeed imminent and must be answered.
Khali wo protect home manufactures by duties on im
port., and thus enable ogr well-fed mechanics to com
pete with th“ poor classes of Europe ? or shall we trust
to the lawa of trade and development working In an
unrestricted manner, to regulate the general prosperi-
tv that of our nation and ourselves included ?
■ “The subject is a complex one, and susceptible of
befog viewed In many ways. A strong argument—In
fact we oo^ciuBive one—against s protective
t-- u is an *riwto?*irrier-an obstruction
of communication—an assertion” of antagonism ofUt**
tercsts between nations, and as suottsjs opposed to tha
spirit of the ago, which everybody and by all means
is breaking down barriers and blending ti’** interests
of all nations in one. On the other hand, as’ applied
to this country and the present social basic, free Ar*do
seems to offer a formidable impediment to our mane-
factoring development and success. It le true that
our people aro better educated and better
fed mar the European masses, and Ame
rican ingenuity has got the start, perhaps of
tho world, in the disoovery end application of labor-
saving machinery. These facte give us on advantage
lu the race of production; but still with these things,
in our favor, it is hard to see how under the present
state of things, we can compete with foreign labor,
when it la stated that a book or periodical can be Im
ported for two cents from England, that would oost
fourteen cents to manufacture here.
“Our own experience os a manufacturing communi
ty illustrates the situation In opposite ways. In the
case of steel-traps, by the invention of tabor-oaring
machinery, and the production of a better article
than the foreign trap, we succeeded independently of
protection in securing a market for our goods, and
tin ally in superseding with them the use of foreign
traps in the hands of American trappers. In the
case of certain descriptions of ladies' leather bogs
I gachels, on tbe other hand, we are Informed that
immunity manufacture of them is likely to be
rferred with, and for the present arrested, by the
jrtaion of foreign goods at a rate lower than we
produce them.
he conclusion which we draw from the premises
e us is, that a high protective tariff will not pro-
rbecause it is opposed to the sentiment of freedom
inity that is growing strong to the earth, and ill
1 progress works against it, Bnt wa Infer on the
ther hand, that free trade alone will bear very
t on the manufacturing prosperity of the country
fta now situated; sad that If this system Is topee-
¥,
January, to offer sentiments ot oondolence on the
death of his father-in-law, the late king ot Belgium.
The emperor replied is fallows:
" Gzra.EMx>-: I thank yon for the sympathy yon have
manifested in the grief of tha empress end myself for
the trouble that has befallen us. In such a misfortune
there is much to consols ns in tbs remembrance of tbe
eat and noble examples that have been left us as an
erltage by the late king of Belgium.
‘ He, like ourselves, In accepting the throne that a
people offered him, found a nation to oonetitute and a
government to found. Thank* to the disinterested
intervention of Franoe, be was enabled to make peace
■uooeed to war, and devoted himself without inter
mission to institute valuable Interior reforms. He
promised liberty to his people, and during a long
period of thirty-five year* be fulfilled his word. It
promised the country security and tranquility, and he
gave them both .to it, consolidating also lu independ
ence. lie did more—he elevated It to a distinguished
rank among tha states of Europe, and even mode it
one of the first in commercial importance and freedom
of thought, leaving Its eeoutebeon and noble flag with
out a stain.
“We shall endeavor to profit by this greet example by
which God has shown us that His Providence never
forsakes just and honorable monarch! in their nobis
enterprises. His daughter, tbe Empress, hoe just re
turned from s toilsome journey Into distant Unde In a
dangerous climate, with no other safeguard than tbe
love of the people; everywhere she bee met with a
flank and cordial reception that has shown over again
the sympathy that exists between the nation and our
selves—when the dlsoontentd were pleased to say that
my august consort would only meet with Indifference—
when calumniators dared pretend that she would for
get her duty and return to Europe. On this occasion I
am happy to express particularly my deep gratitude to
heroio Vera Oruz and beautiful Yucatan, who have re
ceived the Empress with an iffeotion that will ever re
main engraved on my heart
"As to myoelf.gentlemen.you have been witnesses of
my labors. Leaving aside tbe vain theories which lead
to anarchy, I have consecrated my time to tbe direc
tion of the publio administration, to the development
of the elements of the wealth and prosperity of the
country, and to the solution of the greet questions
which interest it the most.
“In this arduous task I have been obliged to encoun
ter the Impatience of some and tbs backwardness of
others; for wounds opened by fifty years of civil war
are not healed in a day; but strong In faith, I go
straight to my end with Indefatigable perseverance.
My strength may fail; my will, never.
“My object is not to change tbe democratic customs
of the nation, because I am convinced that they ele
vate the mind of the citizen In Inspiring him with the
consciousness of his dignity end value. I have
respected the liberty of the press when It bos not de
generated into licence, at the earn* time that I have
made the authority of the land respected. Be must
be blind Indeed that does not see that a strong au
thority is tbe last anchor of safety for our country.
You have seen my calmness Is the midst of calumnies
that have been pointed against us by foreigners.
Forward, gentlemen, the will pass, but our
works will remain. Strong in tbe support of my con
science and the purity of my intentions, I contem-
E late the future with tranquility. Mexico has put

C Z A R.”
This horse was raised In Southern Russia by a Cir
cassian soldier. Like the Arabians, the nomadic
people of his tribe form the strangest and most In
violable attachments to their unexcelled horses.—
They make their favorite conrsere their special com
panions. and train them to be very fleet and Intelli
gent. This Circassian, during one of his wandering
tours, became very needy, and soon found eager pro
posers for the purchase of his splendid horse. At
last he consented to part with him. He was brought
before the purchaser, and there ensued a scene that
has been need as a subject of a poet’s pen. At a sig
nal from him, the horse,
“ With flowing tall and flying mane,
Wnh nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouth bloodless to tiie bit or rein ;
And feet that Iron never shod,
And flanks onscarred by spur or rod.
The bounding horse—the wild, the free—
Like wave that dashes on the sea,
Came proudly thundering on."
There stood the noble horse, the admiration of
every beholder. No steed of the Tartar, or Ukraine
or Arab breed could be more beautifully formed.—
Never did Landseer or Rosa Bouheur see or imagine
a more perfect animal.
He will also Introduce his thoroughbred Trick
Horse,
