[Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.] 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 ly give orders for the payment of appro priate houors to the memory of the de ceased (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.

May 2<5-38-3m. 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 » a p OOT jjj-jjj'g still in my county the 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.

Right here the man with a memoran dum scratched down a garbled extract, and old Boutwell Eays he : “ What do you mean by that sir ? What inference do you intend ?” “ I’m statin facts,” says I, “ You must draw your own inferences. They are rasin boy children. Any harm about that? Any treason ? Can’t a man raise boy cliildred ? Perhaps you would like to amend the constitution and stop it. Old Pharaoh tried to stop it among the Isaraelites, but it didn’t pay. He finally caught the dropsy in the Red Sea.

The official organ of vote in the shape reported by the Repub- the government has, however, not uttered licau caucus.
