"Watch over the preservation of the Union with zealous eye, and indignantly Jrown upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of the Country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred tics, wkith now link together the various parts?— Washington’s 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. lIoMEbTEAD.s. We notice, from advertisements in the newspapers of the State, that our Democratic friends arc applying in great numbers to have 1 homesteads set apart for the benefit , of their families. W r e are pleased to see this. This is one liepublican measure which was not a swindle. “ Render unto Ceasau the things that arc Ceasar’s.” The \ vlTube s Feast.—Wo invite tlie special attention of our readers to an article with the above heading in this morning’s paper, copied from the New \ ork Tribune. Congress will soon assemble, and the money vultures will take their carcasses to Washington to prey on die Govern ment, which they have done for so many years, not even leaving enough for an honest man’s pickings.

Y Tribune 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. “Mr. Jerrold,” asked a needy Jxin don Bohemian of the creator of Mrs. Caudle, “have you confidence enough in me to lend nic a guinea “Plenty of confidence, my dear fellow,” re plied Douglas, “but ne'er a guinea.” Uncle Sam is in that same predica inent just now, and his legislators must realize it. Senator Sawyer xx Washing ton. —A Washington telegram to the New York Times says: Senator Fred. A. Sawyer, of South Car olina, arrived here to-day’ with his family, who have been spending’the summer in New , England. The Senator himself came North ten days ago, w ith Governor Scott, of his Stale. ’These two gentlemen were in New York for a week, looking after money mat ters, and were able to make entirely sidis-fac tory arrangements for their State.’ Senator Sawyer says things have quieted down since the election. and many of the best men are now feeling thnt South Ciuolina is about to enter upon a now era in her history, and that a prosperous future is before her il the Dem ociwiie party there will stand to their pledge, and abide in good faith by the results of the lute election.

(From the New York Post. 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. [ Columbus >Suii. - • 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. I’ride, fashlou aud folly are iu a great measure responsible for this state of tliingri, in what manner it is not ueccf.- Saij to slate. Till Ct’BAN Lbadeim.— The £><«- ing Pott gives an account of the j lenders of tlie Cuban insurrection. Tim Couinmnderdn-Chief, Don Carlos Manuel tie Ccsp»<les, is a lawyer, a I sugar planter, and a largo land-owner. He is worth $700,000 in Bayamo. Il« ' is n man of middle height, broad fore- j head, bright eyes, and about 4h years ! of age. The calibre of Ccsj»e<les will lx> seen in this little anecdote : In dis cussing the plan of the campaign one of the Commanding Generals said: “Gentlemen, we must state how we shall retire in case of defeat.” Where upon Cespedes arose ami said: “A people conscious of its rights, and re solving to conquer its independence, does not retire from the field. We must conquer or die. Cortes burned his vessels ; we Cubans will cut off'all our ways of retreat.” In Puerto Principe every able-bodied man is under arms. It is also stated that not the Cubans only, but the Porto Ricans are ready for revolt and freedom. In Porto Rico the leader is Dr. IL E. Betances, a man about 48 years old. Among the 2,000 prisoners now in the Spanish jails are some of the first men in the island, physicians, lawyers, priests, professors, wealthy planters, and merchants. 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 tions are that Senator Ramsey will not be reelected, owing to the Donnelly and Washburn quarrel, he having sided with the latter. Donnelly’s friends can control the Legislature even if 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. CHANGE OF ROUTE AND SCHEDULE OF Augusta and Summerville R. R. SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE,) Avgusta A Summbuvxlj.b R. R.
