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 ptmK>BS-who wqqld.|ike so tyvo ford b - ecuted ; but .there Is aStune intelligent man Oil earth who lias the faintest not Iron that hp ever will be. For, though government! sometimes iufliot capital punishment on conspicuous rebels, they never, it lessen modem times, do so long after t bet*rebellion w»» suppressed. Austria, jn 18411, put to death thirteen of leaders betrayed into her home bfwtu iscreenf froryey; but she tried them by drum head court-mar tial directly after- their eerrender, and had them all hanged juried witbip. 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.

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.
