Adjourned.
It seems almost impossible that this
session can last forty days. Members
are averse to adjourning finally, ’till they
see President Johnson’s Message. Some
of them seem to think that issues may
arise, affecting onr Federal relations,
which may necessitate an extra session,
sboald this body adjourn before the
meeting of Congress. If this be pro
bable, it is certainly more economical to
remain iu session than to be convened
in extra session. Pi.ctQ.
from the New York Trlbnno, Nor. 9.
Jefferson Davie.
Eighteen months have nearly qlapped
since Jefferson Davis was made a State
prisoner. He had previously been .pub
licly charged, by the President of the
United States, with conspiring to assas
sinate President Lincoln, and SIOO,OOO
offered for his capture thereupon. The
capture was promptly made and the
money duly paid ; yet, up to this hour,
there has not been even an attempt
made by the Government to procure his
indictment on that charge. He has a|so
been popularly, if not officially, accused
of complicity in the virtual murder .of
Union soldiers, while prisoners of war,
by subjecting them to needless, inhuman
exposure, privation, and abase; but ho
official attempt has been made to indict
him on that charge. He has befcn
itidieted lor simple treason; and evfen
this indictment has not been obtainedlat
the instance of the Government. It nity'
be so badly drawn that no conviction
could be had on it, whatever the prqof
advanced ;■ yet the-Executive could sqy,
f'l am not responsible for this. The yi-
Bfetment Vrts obtained- Without the
assent or privity of my Attorney Geneijal
or Ufcbinet.”
r- Repeated attempt* have been made,
by the ' prisoner’s counsel tb hfis''
case fotrial; bat to fjo/purpose. The
Government,does pot appear to proje
Cute; the machinery of the Courts 5s
always out, of order. At one time,
martial law standp in tht way; when
that obstacle is removed, there is a cavi
ns to the SdfflciCpCy or completeness pi
its withdrawal; and, when that will no
longer serve, it is found ; that, Congtefs
has somehow disarranged the judicial
districts, so that the case cannot safely
be proceeded with. And Odugeess itself,
having most inconsiderately meddled with
the matfeiV tever took pains, to inquire
what action on Ha part, if any, was if
quishe; so that nbw Congrtti, President,
and Chief Justice-are ip in> eorspjetc
muddle on the subject; each seeming;
inclined t(i throw bH rrtsponsibility for,
t|ic delay on one vr luqtli of the others.
The upshot of all this fe thbt" the
"jWsohcr is not tried, nor lilTely to'lte,;
net! font, if tried, Inf is morally certain
not to lie ; if cqnvicted, not,
to be prfntshcd. There' are Mill jrpany

long after t bet*rebellion w»» suppressed.
Austria, jn 18411, put to death thirteen

forty-right ' Mure.' ■ Had she l waited!
eighteen months and then executed
them, she would have iavoked tbs exe- -
orations of all Christendom.
Binee it is notorious that Davis is apt;
to be punished, why is he still kept
awaiting a trial which he aloneeeeois to
desire, and which be een by no means
obtain? What good end is subserved
by persisting in a menace Bhicli still
serves to irritate, though it no longer,
appals ?
Congress, at its last session, evidently
felt that it had the President at diaad
)YT
tnat TtO was an elephant which Mr.
Johnson ,had too easily acquired; and
was now unable either to keep or dis
use of sevd to’ h|s qirii lVs. 'ln the
state of feeling then prevalent, this
aspect of the dose was regarded by
many with evident complacency. 'Had
the President been a man of high
connate) we thx>t #*C would, hfcve bailed
the prisoner, and called on Congress t 6
demand, if ts«l.Ver«4<ieWwd advisable,
that he should be surrendered and fried,
and to prescribe' the legal condition of
gush trial, since the laws as they, stand
inadequate or But he
sboeiA first, at all events, have publicly
retracted the ,charge of complicity with
t he assassins of President Lincoln,
since he has, virtually abandoned ft by
not attempting to found aq, indictment
thereon. It is neither* Aise to
send forth a prisoner of State with the
brand of murder on his browt; and a
naked failure to prosecute is but equiva
lent to the Scotch verdict, ‘‘Not proven.”
If Mr. Davis is even probably guilty of
complicity with Booth, he should long
since have been indicted ahd tried for
that grime; if he ianot, he should hate,
ere this, been expressly freed from re
proach, even though he were to be ex
ecuted for treason on the morrow. A
great Government may deal sternly
with offenders, but not meanly; it can
hot afford to seem unwilling to repair
an obvious Wrong.
From the London Punch of November 3.
Artemus Ward is Loudon.
Mr. Punch, My Drar Sir . You
didn’t get a instructiv article from my
pen last week on account of my nervis
sistim havin underwent a dreffle shock.
I got caught in a brief shine of sun, and
it utterly upsot me. I was walkin Re
gent street one day last week, enjoyin
your rich black fog and bracing rains,
when all at once the sun bust . out and
actooally shone for nearly half an hour
steady. I acted promptly. I called a
cab, and told the driver to run his boss
at a friteful rate of speed to my lodgins,
but it wasn’t of no avale. I had orful
cramps, my appytite left me, and my
pults went down to 10 degrees below
zero. But by careful nussiu I shall no
doubt recover speedy, if. the present
sparklin and exileratin weather con
tinuers.
All of the foregoin is sarcasm.
It’s a singular sack but I never sot
eyes on your excellent British Mooseum
till the other day. I’ve sent a great
many there, as also to your genial Tower
of London, however- It happened
thuslv: When one of my excellent
countrymen jest arrived in London
would come and see me and display a
inclination to cling to me too lengthy
thus showin a respect for me which 1
feel I do not deserve, I would sugjest a'
visit to the MooseutTl and Tower. The
Mooseum would oekqpy him a day wt
leest, and the Tower another. Thus
I’Ve derived considerable peace arid'
comfort from them noble edifissgs, and I
hope they will long continner to grace
your metropolis. There’s n»y fren Col
onel Larkins, from Wisconsin, who T
regret to say understands the Jamaica
question, and wants to talk with me
about it; I sent him, to the Tower four
days ago, and ho hasn’t got through
with it jit. He likes jt very much, ahd
he writes me that he can’t never thank
me sufficient for direcun him to so
interestifilijbildin. I wrote him not to
mention it. .'The Col. says it ix fortpit
we live in' a intellectooal ajfo-’ l 'Ahijch
wouldn’t countennuce such infamous
things as occurd in this -Tower. Pm
aware thhf’it hf fashin’Blc' to compliment
tl\is age, but I ain't so clear that the
Ool; is altogether right. ThU is a very
respectabfoiflge,;hot/ it’s - pretty easily
riled ; and conaiderra upon how alight; a

(if you will permit me <to say so), the
spirit of the eagle,: which chafes when
shut up in a four-wheeler, and I feel

Bo on the morpiii on Mfcieh T'lwetn to
the Mooseum, I lit a pipe,, and eailiu a
cab, I-told the driver to take -ms there
as quick as his Arabian chargor oqpld
go. Thw driver was under the influence
of beer, and narrerly’ escaped ninbin,
over a aged female in the match trade,
whereuponT ferhbhstraleff with him. I
said ,‘fftyt poor mayito the
vuly mother; of a yoiupg man like ypuJ”
Then throwing ‘estmidorable path ok into
my voice, I said,"You have n mother?”

I first visited the stuffed animals, of
which the gorillers interested me most.
There sjraple-mioded monsters, live in
. Alrikjf, and are believed to bo. human
being to a slight extent, altho[ they are
not alfowed to vote. In tbi* department
is one or two superior giraffes. I never
woulded I were a bird, but I’ve some
times wished I was a giraffe, on account
of the long distance from his mouth to
his stomftiock. Hence, if be loved beer,
ode faugful would give film as much
efijoymeht whije goin down as forty
m'dgfols would ordinary persons. And
be wouldn’t get intoxicated, which is a
beastly way of amnsin oneself, I must
say. I like a little beer now and then,
and, when the teetotallers inform us, as
they frekently do, that it is vile stuff,
and that even the swine shrink from it,
I'say It Only shows that the swine is a
ass: who.don’t know what’s good ; but to
pour gin and brandy down one’s throat
as freely as though it were fresh milk, is
the most idiotic way of goin to the devil
I know of.
I enjojeß 'myself/eery much looking
at tlm Egyptian mumrays, the Greek
vUees, etc., but it occurd to me there was
raytttMrtof many “Roman antiquitys of
a rincertin date.” Mow, 1 like the
British Mooseum, as I said afore, but
jyhen.J see~a lot of erthea jugs and pots
sfbek'fijf'oit shelves', ahd “of a uncertin
date,” I’m at a loss to ’zactly determin
whether jthey . aSe a tbonsanil years old
or was bought recent. I can cry like a
child o.vef a jug one thousand years of
age, especially if it is a UomaD jug; but
a jug of uncertin date doesn’t overwhelm
me with emotions. Jugs and pots of a
uncertin age is doubtless vallyable
perty, but, like the debentures of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway,
a man doesn’t want too many of them.
I was debarred out of the great
readin room. A man told me I must
apply by letter for admission, and that
I must get somebody to testify that I
was respectable. I’m a little ’fraid I
shan’t get in there. Serin a elderly gen
tleman, with a beneverlent-lookin face,
near by, I venturd to ask him if he
would certify that I was respectable.
He said he certainly would not, but he
would put me in charge of a policeman,
if that would do me any good. A
thought struck me. “I refer you to
Mr. Punch,” I said.
“Well,” said a man who had listened
to my application, “you have done it
now 1 You stood some chance before.”
I will get this infamous wretch’s name
before you go to press, so you can <fo
/nounce him iu the present number pf
your excellent journal.
