Farewell Address.
Trial of Jefferson Davis.
A motion to qnash the indictment
against Jkffkrsov Davis, the chief
. of the rebellion, is now being argued
• before Chief Justice Chase. The
defence claims that the Fourteenth
Amendment supersedes the old penalty
for treason, ami prescribes only dis
qualification from holding office, and
this penalty is only visited on a small
number of those who engaged in the
rebellion. It is among the singular
incidents of the times that the release
of Mr. Davis should be demanded by
virtue of a provision of the Constitu
tion, which the more extreme South
erners, with their Northern allies,
assert has not been legally adopted.
We do not pretend to be able to decide
tins grave constitutional question.
The distinguished jurist before
whom it is now being argued
will, no doubt, decide the ques
tion in accordance with the in
tent and meaning of the instrument.
If the indictment is quashed, we shall
neither be displeased or disappointed.
It must be admitted, by’ all candid
persons, that the numerous delays of
this trial reflect great discredit on the
officials of the Government. The chief
parties to blame arc the President of
the United States, and its Chief Jus
tice. We are sorry we can not say’
that their controlling motives were
worthy of the exalted positions which
these oftiicials fill. Johnson was afraid
to release him for fear of offending
the Republicans, and he was afraid to
encourage a trial because it would
probably’ render him unpopular with
the Southern leaders. Tho Chief Jus
tice is almost as blameable as the ITcs
dent.
There is no good, we repeat, that
can result from the trial of Mr. Davis
at this late date. None but men of
passion desire it. llis acquittal would
place the Grovernment in the wrong,
legally, in the late “unpleasantness.”
If convicted, the generosity of the
American people would not permit his
punishment. We desire to Sec an
end of this costly farce.

Bad Sign.—No man or party ever
1 gives his or its antagonist (he best
advice. The managers of political
parties are ever anxious for the oppo*
sition to commit ns many’ blunders as
possible, so as to increase the unpopu
larity of the latter. It is said of a
great statesman (now dead) that he
always ascertained what course the
enemy would have him pursue, and
that he then took the opposite
schute ; and that he almost invaria
bly succeeded. A politician, or an
editor, keeps his wise counsels for his
friends, and his evil suggestions for
’ his enemies. He that falls into such
Anares is either an unwary or :t willing
. victim, [f the former, he is unfit to
i lead; if the latter, he is unworthy of
‘ confidence.

The Vulture's Feast
The Xl.lst Congress rciis-embles
next Monday : and already wo have
ample premonition'- that this, though
its short sc'-sioti, will be a Duly one.
There i> much work that can not be
post poms I; the resumption of specie
payments, lor example; but there is
much more that will have to Im 1 , unless
the Treasury is to be swamped and
the National honor tarnished.
The Government is poor, and must,
for some years, continue so. The
abolition last session, of three-fourths
of the Internal Taxes, has reduced the
current income below tho actual ne
cessities of the Treasury. If the re
maining imposts could be fully collect
ed, we should still be solvent: but at
least half the money that should be re
ceived weekly from the excise on
Liquors and Tobacco is stolen by re
venue officers, in collusion with cer
tain manufacturers. We hope this
enormous leak will bc a stoppcd soon
after Gen. Grant's inauguration as
President; but nothing can be realized
from this source till after this Congress
shall have expired; and thus the
Treasury must remain poor lor a full
year to come.
And yet the clever fellows who want
to get rich by the aid of Appropria
tions have no more mercy on us than
if the National Debt were a fiction,
the Greenbacks represented cash in
hand instead of debt incurred, and
the Treasury were bursting with su
perfluous gold. The Engineer De
partment wants ten or twelve millions
for Fortifications; while the Ordnance
Bureau would like as much more
wherewith to arm them. Divers and
•harbors hold up their dish--capacious
and empty as usual; and then conic
the Overland Railroads (whose name
is legion), with their urgent demands
that more and still more lands be con
ceded and bonds be issued, until Pru
dence stands aghast and Bankruptcy
stares us grimly in the face.
Now we believe in the railroads,
mid in kindred works generally. We
hold that the country is not impover
ished, but is really’ enriched by them- -
th.qt even the Treasury’ receives there
from more than it pays. Take the
proposed Northern Pacific Railroad,
and suppose that thirty millions in
money and twenty millions of acres of
I’ublic Lands were granted to secure
its completion within the next ten
years; we hold that our remaining
Public Lands Would be worth far
more, whether to the Government or
to settlers, than the whole would be
without the road, and that the thirty
millions of dollars would be paid into
the treasury because of the new set
tlements and extra consumption of
tax-paying products which that road
would insure.
Having thus admitted the whole
case set up tor these great and benefi
cent undertakings, we most earnestly
protest against the extension of Gov
ernment aid to themat present, simply
because such munificence is not yet in
order. We must vindicate the right
of the Nation to be credited before we
lend any more credit. One Railroad
to the Pacific is so far advanced that
it must be put through forthwith ; all
others, and all kindred enterprises,
must await the Resumption of Specie
Payments and the funding of our
National Debt as, a lower rate of in
terest than six per cent. When, by a
faithful collection of the Federal taxes
and a vigorous retrenchment of the
National Expenditures, we shall have
reduced cur Finances to order, created
a surplus of Five to Ten Hillions per
month to be applied to the reduction
of our National Debt, and made the
market for Federal bonds so brisk and
eager that a few Millions more will be
caught up with avidity, then we may
think of entering upon the construc
tion, by National subsidies, of more
Pacific Railroads and kindred works
on this side of the Rocky Mountains.
Os course, it will be urged that
issuing a few more bonds, to heljxthis
or that laudible enterprise, will not
make much difference; but the plea is
fallacious. We cannot help one new
road without helping others—proba
bly several others; and we could not
issue even one new hatch of 1 Minds
without weakening the national credit
and putting oft’the day of resumption.
We glory iu enterprise, but it must
not take precedence of honesty. We
shall in time have at least three
separate railroads to the Pacific, with
many branches; and the Government
Will help construct them—but n<jt
very soon. We are not able to doit
at present, and may not be for some
years yet.

French Empire Becomes Desperate
In ljf2B the Bourbon monarchy ill
France, when lampooned by the press,
tried to make up in passion what it
lacked in strength; and not only fined
the greatest poet of tho nation, Bcran
ger, a large part of bis fortune, but
shut him up for months in the jail
built for thieves. His crime was a
poem in which he spoke witii some
contempt of “the infinitely little” ; this
phrase l>eing judicially interpreted by
the court which tried nim to mean the
brains and heart of King Charles the
Tenth.
Within eighteen months after the
prosecution of Bcrangcr, the Bourbon
monarchy was driven from France.
The men against whom no paper dared
to print a word in 1829 became the
laughingstock of France in 1830. —
They undertook to edit the press of
a kingdom, and within a few months
fell so low that no journal of large
circulation could be employed to print
their defence against scandalous libels.
“The infinitely little” could not long
keep itself free from comment.
Napoleon 111. is evidently purs ling
the same course; or, if be is person
ally too sick to control the Govern
ment, as the London papers say, or too
stupid from excessive smoking, as M.
de Girardin says, the same course is at
least pursued in his name. Five of
the I’aris papers were, on Saturday,
condemned to heavy fines, and one
editor to imprison ment for two months,
their crime being the publication of
subscription lists for the erection of a
monument to Baudin, a deputy whom
the tools of the President Louis Bo
naparte murdered in 1851 for his de
votion to the constitution of the French
republic.
None of these papers had alluded,
even remotely, to “the infinitely little;”
yet their punishment could hardly
have been more severe had they re
printed Beranger’s song. Whether it
is his excessive use of tobacco that has
stupefied the Emperor, or a general
decay of his powers, the result of
other vices, it is certain that this
treatment of the press is very differ
ent from that which he, in his stronger
days, believed to be politic. It can
hardly’ fail to hasten the time which
public opinion in Europe regards as
not now very distant, when the
second French Empire shall take its
place, with the Bourbon kingdoms of
Spain and Italy, among the degrada
tions which great nations remember
with horror and turfl away from with
hope; and when Louis Napoleon Bo
naparte shall be classed, even by the
o®cial text-books of history taught in
the schools of France, with Nero and
Caligula.
A Strange “What is it.”—Judge
Waddell, on the river, Tuesday, killed
a bird which no one recognises, and
everybody says is a stranger to this
region. We don’t know of any one
in Columbus who brags much on his
proficiency in ornithology. If there is
one, here is a case for him. The con
cern, whatever it may be, is about the
size of the ordinary domestic goose,
which it resembles in respect to legs,
outline and webbed feet. Color, gray.
Tail quite short. Feathers are fine in
texture, and not so long as those of a
goose. The neck is as large as “your
fist,” and the head is numerous where
the “bill” unites with it. The bill,
unlike that of some creditors, is brief
in length and amount, thin and sharp,
in form like a crane's. The chap, or
“ ehapess,” as the case may be, may
have escaped from a travelling me
nagerie or some similar arrangement.
The thing didn’t belong here in the
first place, and, now it’s dead, we are
certain it don't. As many strange
incidents arc seen and heard nowa
days, we wonder greatly at nothing.
May be, Yankee birds are coming
with Yankee ideas and principles.

Spiritualism.—C. W. Jackson,
who claims to be a spiritual medium,
has created quite a sensation in St.
Louis in the tying-up business. He
was challenged to an exhibition of his
skill by Hartz, the magician, and on
the first trial succeeded in freeing
himself from his bonds in a few mo
ments, to the great delight of the
spiritualist- of that city. On the night
of the 27th ult., the trial was repated,
when the gentlemen selected to tie
him insisted on searching him before
commencing operations. They found
a sharp pen-knife concealed in one
shoe and a coil of rope w ound round
his body. His trick consisted simply
in being tied with a rope similar to
the one he had concealed, and then
when concealed in his “cabinet” cut
ting the one with which lie was tied
and secreting the pieces, and substi
tuting for it the one he had concealed
on his body, which he exhibited to
his audience as having been untied by
spirits. When the knife and cord
were taken from him the spirits failed
to respond to his invocations, and be
was released from his “cabinet” bound
as securely as when he went in.
The Decease of Children in
New England. The Kennebec
Journal cites the opinion of a promi
nent citizen of Maine, who is a close
observer of events, in which it is
claimed that the falling off in school
returns, the last two years, is not on
account of carelessness or mistakes in
the return of’the number of children,
but that the children are becoming less
in number yearly, except in manufac
tfiring towns, or where there is an
influx of foreign population. Forty
years ago ten children was quite a
common ntimliei' in a family. The
average in many places was a fraction
over seven in each family of parents
at the age of forty-five; now we sel
dom find more than ten. and the aver
age is but four to each family. The
dinrinntion in the returns mav be ac
conuted lor from the fact tliat the
births in many towns do not at the
present )x*riod exceed the deaths.

“Gentlemen, we must state how we

The Marquis or Hastings.—The
London papers come down remorse
lessly upon the character of the late
Marquis of Hastings, who lost a prince
ly fortune by’ betting on fast horses at
the races. The Times s.qys that he
was as prodigal of his honor as of his
wealth; that he seemed* to owe no
obligations either tc morality or re
spectability, and then writes for him
the following epitaph ; “A short five
years has rendered the name of the
Marquis of Hastings a by-word ; has
reduced the Marquis’ estate to be the
prey of unprincipled speculators, and
has consigned the Marquis himself to
an untimely’ and unhonored grave.”
The Telegraph is rather more mild in
its condemnation. For mental culture,
for enlarged philanthropy, for honest
attention to the duties of his station,
it says, “the Marquis of Hastings can
claim no credit, but for unruffled
composure, either in adversity or
prosperity, it may be doubted whether
Lord Hosting’s match was ever yet seen
upon Newmarket Health.” From tlie
failure of his career the Telegraph
draws a moral for rising British
youth, and hopes it will be long before
another boy, starting with an income
of $150,000 will be found to beggar
himself and to descend into his coffin
before he had reached his twenty
seventh birthday.
Election of Senators.—Letters
from Minnesota state that tho indica

Washburn quarrel, he having sided

they cannot elect Donnelly. In Alis
souri, Ben Loan is reported to have
the inside track for Henderson’s seat,
and in Maine, Hannibal Hamlin is
pressing Lot M. Morrill very close,
with chances, however, in favor of the
latter. Tn Nevada, Stewart has no
serious opposition, and Chandler has
none in Michigan.
