THE STATUS OF MR. DAVIS.
Wo four to tiost oqrsclves either to write or
speak on this snliject. There are some ques
tions with which the heart is so full that pru
dent ntterar.ee becomes next to impossible. —
Still, we feel that it would be moral treason
in Southern men to keep silent, and utter no
word of protest or entreaty regarding the
noblo and heroic sufferer who, for more than
a year has languished in the dungeons of For
treie Monroe, and whose ebbing tide of Hie
uppeals to the sentiment of Christian philan
thropy the world over. All men, even the
veriest criminals, are entitled to at least jus-
tics, it not mercy. This has palpably been
denied 3!r. Davis, and a fearful reckoning is
making up against his persecutors,in the opin
ion of the civilized world. It is shocking
and barbarous, a blot upon the American
name and character, and an open defiance of
the law.
For more than a year this Aged and dying
man—whose only crime was devotion to the
principle of self-government—has lain in pris
on, not even asking for mercy, and demand-
ng nothing but a fair trial under the laws of
he country. Why has this poor boon been
efused ? It is nonsense to talk about the ir
regularities of the courts, and suen like stud'.
A court could have been had at any day in
regular term had ope been desired. The
Constitution guarantees him a fair and speedy
trial, and the guarantee has been set at naught
—and why ? It is impossible to give but one
answer to the question : they know he is not
guilty in the eye of the law, and arc resolved
to punish him with death without law, thro’
the instrumentality ot protracted imprison
ment.
But a trial is promised at some nameless
future day, and by whom ? By two judges,
both of whom arc committed to the world
against him, and have even declared theii n-
tention to hang him if they can. One ot them
has even said that he could pack a jury for
the purposo Cal! you this a “ fair ” trial ?
Yet, guilty or not in the eye of the law, lie
mutt be convicted, and" accordingly we have
it authoritatively announced that he is to be
tried by two courts, one civil and the other
military. The first will be governed by law,
the second by the irresponsible will of a tri
bunal that has already shown its thirst for
blood in murdered innocence. With two
chances, a conviction is not likely to fail, and
that is all that is desired—“ rebellion must be
made odious” by an authoritative decision,
and there the cruel farce is to end, provided
tho dying prisoner should lost till the close,
which is barely possible. The public senti
ment, neither of the JTorth nor of the civil
ized world, would justify Mr. Davis’ execu-
tion,and the President has so clearly intimated
his intention to pardon in case ot a convic
tion, that such a result may be regarded as
certain.
But why all this folly ? At what a terrible
cost is this game to be played f Is it right to
insult justice, and outrage the humane senti
ments of tho whole civilized world, just that
a formal, nominal endorsement may be given
to a political dogma. Humanity cries shame!
shame!!
It is now announced that Mr. Davis is
not to be tried in October, according to the
pledge of the Government—why, then, docs
not the President, or the Court, or somebody
authorized by law to do it, discharge the
prisoner on bail or parole .’ Wc defy any
man to give an honest or legal reason why it
should not be done. Isobody believes that
lie will fail to appear, if ulive; and yet there
be lies, agonizing and pining even uuto
death, for wc are assured that a few months
at best must end nil his worldly troubles and
send him to a ^ar where he will be justly and
righteously judged.
It is not our purpose, in what wc have said,
to be understood as holding up the President
to public condemnation. True, he has power
in his hands ns tho Chief Executive officer of
the Union, but there are difficulties to embar
rass its exercise of which there are few that
dream. Wc have a firm conviction that be
would turn 3Ir. Davis loose to-morrow and
bid him go in peace, could he follow the
dictates of his own inclination; but there are
vast interests at stake, involving the liberties
and welfare not only ot our beloved Ex-Pres
ident but of all his fellow-countrymen of the
South, and the choice is between these and
clemency to a single individual. We believe
the President is actuated by no malice, but is
doing the very best ho can under the circum
stances ; but wo do hold up to condemnation,
and the world's execration, that cntel, re
vengeful, and remorseless public sentiment at
tho North that has thus tied the President’s
hands and made him the unwilling instrument
of a persecution that, in the judgment of
every Christian people, is unauthorized and
barbarous.

arc the principal creditors of the company)
—one due the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

REPRESENTATION UNDER THE PROPOSED
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT..
The Charleston Courier presents the trick
contained in the second section of the above
amendment in its true light. The Radicals,
and even some of the so-called Conservatives,
of the North seem determined to disfranchise
us in one way or another. The Courier says:
The second section lays down the basis of
representation. It' excludes as an element of
representation, all males over 21 years of age,
who are not, under the laws of any State, en-
‘ - fi
titled to suffrage. It docs not exclude from
Mr. Davis to be Tried l>y two Courts.
[Front tbe Richmond Times.]
Wo fear that tlie Government at Washing
ton has, at last, determined to commit a crime
which will bring eternal slmmc and black dis
honor upon the nation.
Ex-President Davis is to be retained as a
prisoner of war until he sinks beneath the
tortures, privations and sorrows of long con
finement. The noble martyr is to be, held in
the grasp of n merciless despotism until God
releases him from his long ugony. And the
reports of those who have" recently visited
him leave jio room for hope that the pale,
tottering, emaciated victim of Miles' savage
barbarity will survive in his dreary prison
the hardships of the approaching winter
months.- Repeated official reports xrom the
surgeon in charge of the i lustrious prisoner
have placed the Government in'possession of
tho lamentable condition of Mr. Davis. Ig
norance of the fact that the iron has reached
tho soul of the great statesman, and that he
is being murdered by confinement, cannot be
pleaded by the Government. A clergyman
Irom a neighboring city, who prayed by '.lie
bed-side of die noble captive, tells us that he
is dying. .
His faithful and indefatigable counsel, since
their last interview with President Johnson,
have assured their distinguished client that
there is no hope for his release. The Presi
dent has declared that Mr. Davis is to be
tried by two tribunals. Underwood and
Hunter are both, theu to sit in judgment up
on him God save the poor victim! It tried
at all, he is to run the gauntlet of some dis
grace to tho army like the hangmau of Mrs.
Surratt, and also of a judge who has declar
ed as a witness that he could pack a juiy
which would convict Jefferson Davis. His
life is to bo twice placed in jeopardy, and
that, too, before judges who hox-t of their
determination to convict him. This will
happen if Mr. Davis is put upon his trial.—
But we do not believe that he will be tried
unless there is a tenacity of life which we are
not pi i mittcd to hope for. Chief Justice
Chase, before whose sect ssion and nullifica
tion heresies, those of cx-Presidcnt Davis arc
insignificant, shrink from presiding i.t the
».._i ..j u statesman

the count in representation the females and
children. Theie are ot course denied suffrage.
ila-
But these form a large portion of the popu
tion of the New England States. To adopt
this principle and make the basis above the
voting population, would decrease the power
of New England. It therefore met with no
favor. It was the representation of the South
that was sought to be decreased. It was at
tbe same time designed to coerce iter into oc
cording suffrage to the black. Tbe amend
ment, therefore, practically declares that un
less these are granted tbe elective franchise,
they shall cense to be a portion of the popu
lation estimated for representation.
The adoption of this constitutional amend
ment will therefore strip the South of a ma
jority of its colored inhabitants as any ele
ment of representation, and this will be
essentially bused upon its white population
alone.
Tiie effect will be the loss of some twenty-
five members of Congress to the South, and
the addition of that number to the already
overwhelming power of the North.
Whilf slavery existed, the Representative
numbers included all free persons and three-
fifths of nil other persons (slaves.)
The representation, as it now stands, is
based upon this element, and will remain un
til another apportionment is made.
According to this, therefore, the preseat
Northern representation is one hundred and
forty-eight (148), and tho present Southern
representation on the three-fifths basis, eigh
ty-five (85), making the piesent Northern
majority sixty-three (03).
Rut, b;

of free persons, and tbe population being the
same, without a change in the Constitution,
the South would bo entitled to an increase
of ten (10) members. The amendment not
going into effect as a law, the result would
be that the number of the Northern Repre
sentatives would be one hundred and thirty-
eight (138), and of the South ninety-five (95),
leaving, under the next apportionment, the
majority lor the North to be forty-three
(43).
But if the amendment is ratified, it will
increase the number of Northern Representa
tives to one hundred and sixty-three (163),
and decrease that of tho South to seventy
(70), and thus make the majority of the North
ninety-three (93), instead ot forty-three (43),
in the House of Representatives.

"W e take the subjoined interesting reminis
cences of Mr. Davis’ adventures, as an army
officer, Irom the Galveston News, of the 14tk
instant:
The regiment commanded by Col. Taylor
was the 1st Light Infantry, and at the time
when young Davis was assigned to it, was
stationed at Prairie Du Ch’en, tar removed
from the border of civilization. Colonel
Taylor had been ordered to keep open the
communication between Lake Superior and
the .Mississippi river, and soon after Lieut.
Davis joined him, the sound judgment of the
commander selected tlie young man to super
intend the erection of Fort Winnebago, now
in the State of Wisconsin. A detachment
was. placed under the command of young
Davis, and lie was sent forth through tlie per
ils of the wilderness, to exercise an important
command, far removed from liis superior offi
cers, to preserve subordination among vete
ran soldiers who regarded him :
stripling, to provide sustenance for his
command as lie best could, to prepare
plans and drawings, and other materials for
the fort. Whilst engaged iu this he was or
dered by Col. Taylor to communicate at once
with a detachment, at some point on Lake
Superior, supposed to be about two days
journey from the site of Fort Winnebago.—
Taking . even of liis command and anlndinn
guide, with what he supposed to be a suffi
ciency of provisions, he set out. His guide
proved incompetent, and soon deserted. Be
coming lost in a boundless sea of grass, the
food and water gave out. For three days
after the lost morsel and drop had been con
sumed, and exposed to the searching heat of
the summer sun, he wandered about in the
waste. Six of his soldiers deserted and left
him, leaving only one old soldier, who de
clared his determination to perish with his
commander. Their sufferings were almost
beyond endurance; their tongues parched
and blistered; and the old soldier became
deranged from excessive thirst. Efforts to save
bis companion greatly retarded progress. Yet
his courage never deserted him. Often, when
he spoke with the most excruciating pain,
he endeavored to restore his companion by
calling his wandering intellect to the scenes
of happier days, and the very tears that were
started by such reminiscences were caught
upon the parched tongue, and contributed to
the preservation of life. On the evening Of
the third day, they found a small pool of dir
ty water, where they lay for hours. Young
Davis had to force his old companion to
move by painting a pistol at his breast and
threatening to take his life. Fortanately, in
a few hours afterwards, they reacted an In
dian habitation, on the shore of Lake Supe
rior, where they obtained food. It was a
long time before Lieut. Davis recovered from
the effects of this trip, but he successfully
accomplished tho object of his mission, and

soon returned to his command and resumed
The Eternal Day.
Mattison, on the “Immortality of the Soul’'
beautifully expresses that death to a good
man is but tbe dawning of an eternal day.—
Not till then does he enter upon a real life—
a life unclogged by corruption. Then is he
“clothed upon,” and ascends to be with
Christ, which is fur better. Then, farewell
earth—farewell toil, and pain, and death.—
He goes to join the immortal company who
sing and shine in the presence of God for
ever.
“And though the hills of death
* May hide the bright array,
The marshaled brotherhood of souls
Still keeps its upward way;
Upward! forever upward!
I sec their march sublime,
And hear the glorious music
Of the conquerors of time."
No doubt, no darkness, no fears 1 The
two-leaved gates of eternity arc gently open
ing before him, and the light of that bright
er world is pouring fourth upon tho scene of
bis departure.
See the dying Mozart, as he stands upon
the hither shore ot the river of death, looks
back upon the toils of the past, and forward
to the joys of the immortal future. How ap
propriate his “cygnean song,”the last he heard
on earth:
“Spirit, tby labor is o’er!
Thy term of probation!* ran,
Thy steps are now bound for the untrodden shore,
And the race of immortals begun.
“ Spirit, how bright is the home
For which thou art now on tho wing!
Thy home it will be with thy Saviour and God,
Their loud hallelqjahs to sing.”
In that “ better country ” there will be no
more hunger, or thirst, no cold or heat, no
weariness or sickness, no pain, decay, ar death
forever! There the wicked cease from troub
ling, and the weary are at rest. Tlie Lamb
that is in the midst of the throne shall lead us
to fountains of living waters, and God shall
wipe away all teats from our eyes!
Reader, docs your bosom glow with this
glorious hope of joys immortal beyond the
grave ? If so, of what account are our earth
ly trials, disappointments, and sufferings ?—
Are they worthy to be compared with the
glory to be revealed ? Should we not rather
>less God for every pang we feel, knowing
that our light affliction—which is but for a
moment—worketh for us a far more exceed
ing and eternal weight of glory ?
“Then, O my soul, despond no more,
Tbe storms of life will soon be o’er.
And I shall find the peaceful shore
i if everlasting rest!
the ordinary duties of bis station
In 1831, Lt Davis was sent to New York on
the recruiting service, with instructions to
report to Ool. Taylor, then at Rock River,
within the region of tlie Black Hawk war.
Having enlisted a sufficientnumbcr of recruits,
he hastily joined Col. Taylor ami earned his
full share of the honors of the campaign.—
The cholera prevailing terribly at Rocklsland,
after the battle of Bad Axe, where Black
Hawk surrendered, General Scott feared that
distinguished prisoner would fall a victim to
the disease, and entrusted: him to the
charge of Lieut. Davis, with instructions to
take him to Jefferson Barracks. The young
Lieutenant understood how to sympathize
with the lofty but sensitive pride of the old
chieftain, and succeeded in gaining his warm
est friendship.
Up near to the time of his catrance upon
political life, Lieut. Davis was oae of the most
active, efficient and self-sacrificing officers of
the army. We need say nothing of his ser
vices to the country in Mexico; bat we may
say that his Congressional and Cabinet ser
vices were marked not only by ability but by
unselfish devotion to the whole tountry. All
this, we think, should plead for him now.

there is aide-ache or back-ache, it ceases; if tbe skin
