Davis Should be Tbixs.—We publish below a petition, presented in tee Senate yesterday by Mr. Sumner, which, although but tue petitiou of oue man—a soldier in the Union army in the late war against treason—ia a fair illustration of the prevailing leeiing of apprehension that Justice may be cheated in the case of tbe great arcb traitor. Of his guilt they know there ia no doubt. . It ie patent as the aun la Heaven at midday. The conviction of it is aa univer sal and as pervading us the air in which we live and move, and no vail of sophistry can conceal It. Feo- ple scarcely have patience to see days consumed in taking evidence as to facts which have passed into the history of the world, and stand conspicuously in its blackest pages : they feel restive under the prospect of lung, ingenious and elaborate arguments as to technical points of law, when tbo voice of tbs law and the constitution, both of which have been outraged by crimes of hendish beiuousness, cry aloud for the execution of Justice. This feeling may not be an ar. Our Washington Correspondence. [From Our Regular Correspondent.] WasHEtoxos, May 19, 1886. The radicals in ths Senate are very much distracted about tbe Constitutional Amendment now pending. Wade, tbe mo3t violent of the radicals, has intro- duced an amendment of his own, which is much less objectionable than the amendment under considera tion. The clause to disfranchise the Southern people until after the next election meets with great opposi tion. There seems to be very little doubt but that tbe amendment will foil to pass the Senate in its pre sent form. If it passes at all. It will be after important modifications. But it is suspected that this is just what the contrivers of this plan desired. It was necessary to pretend to do something, but if this could keep things as they were without incurring any censure therefor, the sectional irritation would be on the in crease, and the South not being counted in the elec tions, their chanoe of holding on to power would be increased. The question of reunion is approaohed by the radical politicians generally as a mere question gument to set aside the forms of a civil trial and pro- | o'f party; the important consideration with them is ceed to mors summary measures, Out it should be au ! tow t0 manage it so as to keep their party in power • TTI i iPi>Ssi vss ll'urnniir tn »hm.< who «PA ontpnatAfl with . r » r v • The Post Office Department has ordered that the malls shall not be delivered at post offices South, ex- impressive warning to those who are entrusted with the administration of the laws, that should there ba any connivance at evasion ol tneir provisions, or any asylum afforded in mere legal quiOuies, tbe storm of popular lUdignatiou which will oe aroused if the cul prit thus escape will be a feanul one to those who have to breast it : ••ihe petition of the undersigned, late a soldier for the Union, represents : , . 1.

McKinney: 3an Fuaxcisco, Oct. 29, 1365. Dear Friend:—Along time has elapsed since we have heard of each other,^and many'terrible, sad things have occurred since we met; let me hope that time has not altered the kindly feelmgs that existed between our families, aud that Providence has not stricken those you love with the heavy hand that has fallen upon mine. I would like very much to Bee you all once more, and often think of the old days of quiet in Texas, days unhappily never to return. You have heard, I suppose, of the loss of my dear son Sidney, just oue year after his father. He was a grand, noble boy, all I could wish for my child to be, just eighteen a few days before I lost him. God has afflicted me, dear friend, almost beyond my strength to bear. My son Hancock McCiung (dungy) is now clerk and cashier of tbe New Aimoden Quicksilver Miues, about seventy-five miles from San Francisco: lie gels $1U0& month and helps to support me and tne little onea. Maggie, fourteen years old next mouth, is an inch taller than I am, aiid Griffin, born at Sau Antonio, is eight years old, and little Lizxie, burn after her lather left here, now four years old, are all my family now. I am teaching school, and although I have been assisted by tbo Southern people here, I find it difficult to get along. I have thought that, perhaps, you would kiudly take charge of tbs property of my children in Texas, and see that It is uot sold for Uses. It would help me a good deal if I could sell any portion of it advantageously; but Mr. Green tells me he thicks no sale could t now be made. You will be the best judge of that. I have given Dr. Hitchcock apower of attorney to sell tor me, ho has the power to appoint you if you will accept. I send you s list of tho lands; Swenson at Austin waa tbe general agent, and-Starr & Arnory in Nacogdoohea; you can gat all necessary information from thorn. I wouid be glad to hear from you soon. Addrees Mrs. E. G. Johnston, under cover to It. W Heath, San Francisco. Will you give my kindest love to Mrs. McKinney, and accept for yourself tbe friendly re gards of your old mend, E. G. Johnston.

Perhaps these 1 p.-'juod, and do uot want to make a had been raised against the personal character of the P esident, and expressed his firm belief, established by personal experience, that no man was more as siduously and conscientiously engaged in the dis charge of his duty than Andrew Johnson. (Ap plause.] He illustrated the policy of Mr. Lincoln in tho re commendation of Louisiana aud Arkansas to admis sion into the UnloD, which had been indorsed at the Baltimore Convention, and by a majority ia both Houses of. ong css a year ago. to show that Mr. John son's policy was not a new one, but an obedience to the wishes of the Union party. Instead of the Presi dent proving false, the men who were now attempt ing to head it were preventing the grand objects aud intentions—the restorotlou of the Union and the en forcement of the laws. r Mr. Cowan followed in an eloquent argument in do fence of sustaining the law by virtue of which the re bellion had been crushed. Tbe President's plan of reconstruction relies alone upon the authority of the Constitution and the laws of theland. If the South ern people had not forgotten their obedience to this, there would have been no rebellion. He was op posed to any amsudment to the Constitution at tho present time. (Great applause.^ Ad endorsers-of the President’s policy, he mentioned Messrs. Seward, Stanton, Wells, Grant, Sherman, Meade, Hancock and others, whose names were vociferously cheered. On the other hand, in opposi tion, he placed the names of Thad. Stevens, B. F. Butler aud others, tho mention of which created mingled bisees and slight applause. His hopes was in tne virtue and integrity of the people both North and South. The Southern people had suffered severely, and now was the time to ex tend mercy, after they had surrendered to the law. After other speeches by distinguished gentlemen, the meeting adjourned, The Treasury Department has hoped unti 1 a recent period that Congress would permit the payment of such persons at the South as had been holding public office in tbo South since the end of the war without ta king the test oath; but tbe Department have abandoned this expectation. It seema to be thought in the de partment that there ia not a particle of chance of any thing being done on thie line. The dominant party in Congress are resolved to hold on to this policy of the test oath, find while they can control legislation ! no one will be permitted to hold office under the I United States except he can take the test oath. This is a fundamental article of their policy, and all per- , sons Interested might ka well realize this truth at 1 once. The hitch in the Connecticut Senatorial election is a : grqat annoyance to the radioals here. It seems doubt- j ful whether they can elect their nominee. Terry. This was the way matters went in the New Jersey Senate j rial election. The violence of Thaddeus Stevens, the leader of the | radicals in the House, which is constantly displaying itself in some revolting form, is damaging his own party. Republican papers censure his exclamation that " the rebels ought to be put in the penitentiarv of hell, and kept there by bayonets." This morose and malignant old man ia seventy-three years of age, ! and though he must, In the course of nature, be very ; near the beginning of tho end, yet he seems to have acquired nous of the moderation of age. Els violence is in such bad tute that it excites disgust. Low man ners and high position seem to go badly together. Associated with power we look for dignity, and we hope at least for decency. The radicals are very much incensed with Mr. Se ward, who they pretend to consider as the inspirer of the President's policy. Mr. Seward is gone home to pull the wires in New York. Whils Mr. Seward is en tirely with tbs President In his general policy I am informed that he does not seethe advantage of the violent breach the President has, in some degree, himself made between tbe Congress tnd himself. Mr. Seward’s idea was to avoid an abrupt secession of the Republican party, and gradually build up a conserva tive organization within the Republican lines. The President has been obliged to prohibit Raphael Semmes from exercising the offlje of Probate Judge. The election of parsons so distinctly aud prominently identified with the secession movement is a great weight for the President to carry. The Southern peo ple geem to seize opportunities to break tbe Presi dent’s back. They ought to remember every step in a certain direction taken by them is welcomed with delight by the radicals. Are the Southern people never going to learn any policy ? The investigations of Generals Steedman and Ful- larton continue to bring to light circumstances ex tremely damaging to the Fredmeu’s Bureau. All the iufinite ramifications of their rascalities ought to be probed to the very quick. The Southern people might be useful in ibis regard. Lot them, the true friends of the negroes be examined, and report'all the officers oftbsFrcedmen’s Bureau who take advantage of tbe negroes. LYifcssvaa, va.

Granger, of the United States army, passed through this place on Friday night last on his way to East Tennessee, it ie said by order of the President, to let the people thare know that the war had ended end that he had so issued bis proclamation. We learn that the General has ordered oil persons who have re ceived orders from the “Loyal League" to leave the State to report the same to him, and to remain at their homes; that the offenders shall be brought to trial and punished. The General says law aud order has to be restored in Tennessee if it takes an army to do it.

Wheu the doctor learned the terrible truth, be sent word to the family of Evans that be would kill him at sight. When they met, tbe guilty man fell ou Ills knees and bogged for bis life. In vain. Dr. Newlaud sent a ball crashing through his heart. We quote from tho Indianapolis Herald: The Newland-Evans trial Is now in progress in the Floyd Circuit Court, whence it was brought on a change of venue from Lawrence county. The details of the tragedy are widely known. On the 5th of March last, Dr. Benjamin Newland, of Bedrord, learned the fact that his daaghter, a beautiful girl iu tbe first blush of womanhood, educated and accomplished, had been seduced by the Rev. Madison Evans, at one time her pastor, aud as her teacher, the tutor of her early youth, The foul act had been accomplished ere the girl had reached the age of puberty, and while in her girlish innocence. She was a pupil of her seducer. The victim had been led on to tbe frequent commis sion of acts of uuchostity by the villian, and by threats from him of exposure and ruin, and the most odious wiles of the seducer, she had been held for near three years in his venomous coils.
