The Trial of Jefferson Davis,
Washington, May 20—The trial of
Jefferson Davis before the United States
Circuit Court iu Virginia is considered as
settled, but Chief Justice Chase has not
European Politics.
War between Austria and Prussia iB
now imminent, and the latest news from
Europe indicates that its progress will be
short ere Italy and France will become
involved. Iu fact the whole of the conti
nent is spoiling for a fight, and our people
have no salt to spare in saving them.
The ostensible cause of the difficulty
originated between Austria and Prussia,
whose combined forces, a few years since,
robbed Denmark of the small provinces of
Schleswig and Holst.eio. The robbers
cannot agree among themselves as to the
proper disposition of the spoils. Hence
each government has called into the field
nearly & half million of men. The Ital
ians, remembering the cruelty and oppres
sion of Austria towards a portion of their
countrymen, and longing for an opportu
nity to aid their brothers in avenging the
wrongs they have suffered, have armed
themselves and called into the field every
avnilablc man. The reason, however,
givcu for these steps is that they fear
further aggressions by Austria. The
French Emperor has a few recollections
wfliich ho treasures, lie has not forgotten
the part played by the House of Ilaps-
burgh in the overthrow of his uncle,
Napoleon I. Tho treaties of 1815 which,
in his Auxerre speech, he said he
detested, deprived France of much val
uable territory and fixed a limit to her
future expansiou. Unless these treaties
arc broken tbc Franco of to-day will be
as extended as the France of the thirtieth
century. Napoleon III. finds iu these
treaties a check upon the ambitious de-
bigus iuherited from his uncle, and hence
desires their destruction. lie, also, has
a sympathy for the Italiaus iu any effort
♦ hey may make for the expulsion of the
Austrians from Venice and every other
foot of Italian soil. Iu the event of a
war between Austria and Prussia, France
and Italy will beoome the active allies of
the above named power. Then will be
the acceptable time for the Hungarians
to demand and assert their nationality,
and wc do not doubt for a moment that
they will avail themselves of the oppor
tunity. To us, then, the case of Austria
looks desperate. If Prussia occupied the
position of her antagonist.it would be all
the same to us. In this German quarrel,
the eleven disunited States should, in
feeling and action, be perfectly neutral.
Let our advice to them be: “Pitch in,
nobody is afraid but yourselves.’' The
United States, however, (not including
the eleven disunited) may feel bound to
fight for both sides, in return for services
rendered them by the Germans in their
late conflict.
We repeat, the Southern people should
feel the utmost'indiffcrcnce in the contest,
and care not a baubec which whips or
gets whipped. Although it is true that
the few Germans in the South at the
commencement of the war fought valiant
ly for the cause, and for which the South
ern people hold them in kind remem
brance, we received no sympathy from
foreign nations in our time of trial, and
we feel like doing as we have been done
by. Russia and Turkey are arming, too,
but for what they hardly know. We
suppose, however, that they are doing it
just because it is fashionable.
Great Britain is taking no part of lot
in the quarrels of the powers above nam
ed, yet the Fenians seem determined to
give her 6ome trouble. Dispatches from
Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, inform
us that numbers of the Brotherhood, par
tially armed and equipped, have passed
through those cities en route for Canada.
We suppose these parties are the adhe
rents of Roberts and Sweeny, «od Roberts
pays he is determined to fight So En
gland most come in for a email share of
the general trouble that is afflicting Eu
rope. We must confess that our sympa
thies are against her in the quarrel between
her and the Irish. They are the oppress
ed aDd misruled party, and are in the
ing taken on the amendment. The House
then adjourned.
May 28.—In the House, Mr. Williams
submitted a preamble and resolutions re
questing the information from the Presi
dent whether any employees of the Gov
ernment in the Southern States have
offered any public honors to dead or living
Confederates.
Mr. Nicholson objected to the resolu
tion. Laid over.
Mr. Stevens introduced a bill declaring
that the States lately in rebellion have
forfeited their rights under the Constitu
tion, and can be reinstated in tbc same
only through thewetion of Congress. It
provides they may form valid govern
merits, the present one being continued
for municipal purposes until they shall be
duly altered, and their executives and
Legislatures recognized.
The constitutions are to be formed by
conventions and submitted to the people,
a majority of whom is necessary for rati
fication. All male persons over twenty-
one years are to vote. No constitution is
to be presented for congressional sanction
which denies civil rights to any person.
The bill committed to the Committee
of the Whole, Thad. Stevens offered a
resolution instructing the Committee to
double the pensions of Federal soldiers
During the debate on Saturday, Thad.
Stevens referred to a recreant and apos
tate Senator. He was understood to
mean Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin.
TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The stated counsel of Jefferson Davis
will demand an immediate trial, and if
the Government asks a further postpone
ment, which is possible, they will demand
a release on bail, which they are ready to
give to the amount of ten millions.
May 29.—The tax bill which passed
the House contains a provision placing
the export duty on cotton at five cents
per pound.
Washington, May 29.—The Presi
dent issued the following order to day :
Executive Mansion, 1
Washington, May 29. j
The President with profound sorrow
announces to the people of the United
States the death of Winfield Scott, late
Lieutenant General of the army. On
the day which may be appointed for his
funeral, the several Executive Depart
ments of the Government will be closed.
The heads of the War and Navy Depart
ments of the Government will respective

priate houors to the memory of the de

(Signed,) Andrew Johnson.
May 29.—The following Assessors of
Internal Revenue have been appointed :
Alex. Hall, Miss.; Ohas. J. Hazel, Char
leston, S. C.; Horace Broughton, Mar
shall, Texas; Lucius J. Brown, Little
Rock, Ark.; Win. H. Watson, Atlanta,
Ga.; Richard S. Watkins, Russellville,
Ala.; Edward LaCroix, 2d District of
Alabama.
J. B. C. Smith has been appointed
Consul to Greece.
May 29.—Iu the Senate the Colorado
bill was passed over. The reconstruction
resolution was considered, when Senator
Johnson moved to strike out the third
section, which disfranchises Confederates
until 1870. That section was stricken
out by a unanimous vote— 43 yea?; nays,
none ! Several an mendments were offer
ed. Several amendments were offered
embodying views promulgated in the late
Republican caucus. They exclude from
Federal and State offices those who have
been 'members of Congress Legislative
or Judicial officers, and took part io the
rebellion, or gave aid and comfort thereto.
Congress, however, may remove such dis
ability by a vote of two-thirds.
In the House a bill to continue in
force and amend the Freedmen’s Bureau
bill was passed by yeas 96, nays 32.
May 30.— Senate.—The re-construc-
tion resolutions were taken up, and vari
ous attempts were made by the minority
to modify different sections, but every one
was voted down. Pending the conside
ration of the third section, the Senate
adjourned. There seemes to be no donbt.
from the unanimity of the Republicans
to-day, that it will pass by a two-thirds
court for this or any other purpose. The
Judiciary Committee of tbc House arc
now directing their attention to the
grounds presented to them upon which
the charge of treason, not of conspiracy
and for assassination, is founded, and the
Chief Justice may await their final re
port.
The President will no doubt remove
the principal obstacles which the Chief
Justice indicated as preventing him from
trying a criminal case in Virginia. He
must certainly withdraw martiaHaw from
the State before Justice Chase wiB con
sent to hold the court for Mr. Davis’
trial. Thus has not yet been done, but
it i9 thought that it will be.
The law just passed to facilitate the
trial at Richmond authorizes a special
term to be held, as well as the regular
terms in May and October. If the Chief
Justice determines to hold the court and
and try Mr. Davis for treason, it will not
be so early as June, as some have sup
posed ; other engagements will prevent
it. A disagreement, and possibly a new
trial, with like result, is all that will come
of it. Therefore the Radicals are opposed
to a trial for treason by a civil court in
Virginia. Senator Sumner is not alone
in declaring it to be a farce.
Georgia.
We have just returned from a trip to
Columbus, Georgia, and perhaps, can say
a few words of interest.
The Crops in the Empire State are not
very promising. We allude especially-to
the cotton crop. We heard a large num
ber of planters say their crops of cotton
would be a total failure. In many instan
ces the planter has plowed up his cotton
and planted corn, This failure is attrib
utable mainly to the defective seed. And
again, the wet spring weather has serious
ly injured cotton. As to the effect of a
short crop each one can speculate for
himself.
Politically Georgia is an Eden compar
ed to Tennessee. In Georgia there is
quiet and peace, for there arc no disfran
chise laws—taxatian without representa
tion is not the rule there as here where
a petty minority of Radical Jacobins hold
sway. The people of Georgia sympathise
with us in Tennessee, and well they may,
tor certainly wo are cursed with a “ bur
lesque upon all possible governors,” and
the same may be said of the so called
Legislature.

Santa Anna.—The famous Mexican
President, General Santa Anna, is in
Washington. His personal appearance is
thus described :
“ Santa Anna is a man about five feet
nine inches in height, apparently some
sixty years of age, with dark hair, scarce
ly tinged with the chill dcstroyer’t touch,
and strongly marked features, tvphical of
the intelligent Mexican and the resolute,
self-reliant man of the world. He wears
no beard, so that the character of the
lower portion of his features are readily
legible. Although he uses a cane in
walking, a casual observer would not sus
pect that the General had but one “ car
nal ” pin to stand on, the other, ns is well
known, being, like a toper’s last on Sat
urday night under the new exercise law,
a corker.
“ Seriously, however, it is suprising
that, after the hardships which the
General has endured, he should appear
with the missing limb to bear his years
so lustily, "and fight so strongly against
the growing stoop in his shoulders.”
The Reticence of Napoleon.
A Paris correspondent of the London
Times writing, April 30th says ;
The general uneasineS which has pre
vailed so long, and the pertubatiou in the
financial world which has proved ruinous
to so many, are owing-to the impenetra
rivers.
“ In the State of Georgia,” says he
fiercely.
“In a state of uncertainty about that,”
say* L “ We don’t know whether Geor
gia is a State or not. I would like for
you to state yourself, if you know. The
state of the country requires that this
matter should be settled, and I will pro-
proceed to state,”
“ Never mind, sir,” says be. “ How
old are you, Mr. Arp?”
“That depends upon circumstances,”
-jays I. “ I don’t know whether to count
the last five years or not. Durin the war
your folks said that a State couldn’t se
cede, but that while she was in a state of
rebellion she ceased to exist. Now you
say we got out and we shan’t get back
again until 1870. A man’s age has got
somethin to do with h:s rights, and if we
are not to vote, I don’t think wc ought
to count the time. That’s about as near
as I can come to my age sir/"’
“ Weli, sir,” says he : “areyou familiar
with the political sentiments of the citi
zens of your State ?”
“ Got no citizens yet sir that we know
of. I will thaok you to speak of us as
‘people.’ ”
“ Very well, sir,” says lie, “ I’ll hu
mor your obstinacy. Are the people of
your State ”
“ Don’t speak of it as a State sir, if
you please. I’m on oath now, and you
must excuse me for being particular.—
Call it a ‘ section*’ ”
“ Mr. Arp, are the people of your sec
tion suficiently bumbled and repentant to
come back into the Union on such terms
as we may think proper to impose ?
“ Not much they aint ” says I. “ I
don’t think they are prepared for it yet.
They wouldn’t voluntarily go it blind
against your hand. They say the deal
wasn’t fair and you’ve maiked the cards
and stole the trumps, but at the same
time they don’t care a darn what you do.
They’ve become indifferent and don’t
care nothing about vout Guy Fawkes bu
siness. I mean no respect to you, gen
tlemen, but I was swore to tell the whole
truth. Our people ain’t a noticiu you
only out of curiosity. They don’t expect
anything decent, or honorable, or noble
in Rome, right in the fork of two injun from pensions, and public lands; and you

other day because he couldn’t pay your
tax on some peach brandy he stilled for
his neighbor two yeara ago r and eoon
you’ll be sdljn the land for the land tax,
and you’re tryin your best to play the
devil generally, but you'll catch it in the
long run. See if you don’t. Talk about
Fenians. When the good men of the
North and South all get together, they’ll
walk over the track so fast that you won’t
have time to get out of the way. You’ll
subside into obscurity, and your children
will deny that their daddies ever belong
ed to such a party. Excuse me, gentle
men, but I’m a little excited. Five cents
a pound on cotton will excite anybody
that makes it. Tax on industry—on
sweat and toil. Protection tariffs for
Pennsylvania and five cents a pound tax
on Southern cotton—half its average
worth—aud your folks will manage some
way or other to steal the other half. My
advice to you is to quit yonr foolishness
and to begin to- travel the only had road
to peace.
Old Blow couldn't keep up with his
garbled extracts.
“ What makes the President so popu
lar at the South ?”
“ Contrast sir—contrast. The more he
ain’t like your party, the more popular he
is. He would treat us about right, I
reckon, if you would let him alone, but
you bedevil him so, that some times he
don’t understand himself. I don’t think
he knew for a while whether bis Peace
Proclamation restored the writ of habeas
corpus or not. But do you go on and
impeach him, and that will bring matters
to a focus. I’ll bet you’d be in Fort Del
aware in a week, and the Southern mem
bers be here in their seats, and they’ll
look round at the political wreck and
ruin and plunder and stealago that’s
been going on, and they might exclaim,
in the language of the poet,
Who's pin here since I’sh pin gone 7”
“ Mr. Arp, suppose we should have a
war with Eng'and or France, what would
the rebels do ?”
“They’d follow Gen. Lee, and Gen
Johnson, and Longstreet, and Bragg and
old Bory. My opinion is, that Gen. Lee
would head the Union army, and Gen.

the former, upon full war footing, is said
to amount to 579,000 men, and the avail,
