The following are the place* and time at which Democratic Congressional conventions for this State are to be held: First District—Y’ncennes, July 25, 1866. Second District—New Albany, June 28.

Morton-IWIIUgai*—Dodd. “ During the day, Milligan was arrested, and taken before the United States Circuit Court, and held to answer for treason in the sum of $5,660 at the October term of the court, which bail he furnished.”—JournalYesterday morning the Journal of this city announced that, on the day previous, the very day of Mr. Million’s arrival in the city, that gentleman was arrested and held to bail in the sum of $5,000, on an indictment for treason. We were struck with amazement on reading the announcement. We had understood that an indictment was also pending, In the same court, found at the same time, viz: last November, against Dodd; we knew that Mr. Dodd had, within the last month, spent about a week in our city, mingling among our people, on the streets, in the public offices, and, perhaps, though we do not vouch for the truth of the rumor, in the executive chamber; we* knew that Mr. Dodd'3 arrival was announced in all the papers in the city,'he day following his arrival. We know that the district attorney and the marshal knew of Mr. Dodd’s presence, and yet we had understood that no arrest, nor attempt to arrest Mr. Dodd was
made.
These facts brought recollections of the past to our mind. Why is Milligan seized upon, with tiger-like ferocity, on entering the city, while Dodd is permitted to come and go at his pleasure, undisturbed, and without exciting any of this virtuous Republican horror of traitors that exhibits itself so indignantly at the sight of Mr. Milligan? We ask, again, why ? ■ We ask and we demand an answer? The public demands an answer. It presents, if the Journal is correct, the most shocking instance of difference of treatment of two accused men, that the history of the world furnishes. If some explanation is not given of this matter, somebody will suffer in reputation. Mr. Milligan was not arrested, mark, the Journal says he was arrested, etc., because he was the more guilty, for the following letter from one of the illegal Commission, called, as the Supreme Court of the United States has said, to perpetrate lawless violence on Mr. Milligan and others, establishes the contrary
of this:
« Terre Haute, Ixd., Jan. 16,1SGG. '• To His Excellency the President of the
“ United States:
“ Dear Sir—As a member of the “ Military Commission,” convened at Indianapolis last winter, by order of General Hovey, to try the so called “Indiana Conspirators,” Messrs. Dodd, Bowles. Milligan, Heflren and others, permit me to say in reference to the ease ot L. r. Milligan, one of the defendants, that I was compelled to dissent from the findings of the Commission, believing that the evidence adduced wholly failed to sustain the charges of the conspiracy preferred against him. My opinion has not changed since the trial; and permit me also to express the opinion that Mr. Milligan's release from further punishment upon these charges is dictated alike by common justice and the popular septiment of the
people of Indiana.
“ I am, sir, with great respect, your obedient
William E. McLean
servant, William i£. mclean. “ Late Colonel Forty-third Indiana. “ Other commissioners have offered Mr.
Coffoth similar letters.”
Why, then, wc ask again, is Mr. Dodd allowed to come to this city, spend days among the Republicans unmolested, and depart at his pleasure, without an arrest or any exhibition of Republican horror of traitors? There is something strange, mysterious in this matter. In this connection, we desire to propound a few questions, which we should like to seofull
answers to:
1. Did Morton and the military commission spend the fore part of a night in one of the saloons of this city after the finding of that commission. 2. Was that commission a legal or an illegal
tribunal?
8. Was evidence given before it, legal evidence? Was it perjury to swear false be-
fore it?
4. Did the members of that commission hesitate to make the finding they did; were they told by any official that the finding was Important for political purposes, and if made, the lives of the accused should be taken care of afterwards? We don’t, of course, know that these things were *o; but if they were, we should not be disappointed if the old say ing that “murder will out,” would again prove true. We do not mean to intimate that if the commission was told what we have inquired about, it in the least influenced their finding, but we should like to know whether they were told so or not. 6. How many of the commission agreed to the finding? Docs the Journal say the trial was legal ? 6. Is it the law, in criminal trials, that the verdict of a jury must be unanimous against a man before he can be said to be guilty ? 7. Is it true that Dodd and Morton were on the most intimate terms up to the hour of the arrest of the former? We inclino to the
.s it true mat a prominent Republican this city, stated not long ago, that he was on a large note, with other Republicans, to raise money for Mr. Dodd at the time he left for Canada? This comes to us in such a way as to force belief in its truth. As we are in the way of asking questions, we will add another, though it is somowhat irrelevant: 10. Did Hon. R. N. Hudson ever tell any person that he made, for himself or anybody else, a large sum of money, say $25,000, by dealing or speculating i n bonds, either federal or confederate, when he was Agent of State, or at any other time, and with his own money, or that of anybody else? We should be gratified to receive answers to the above questions. _ Newspaper Theology. Some of the Republicans object to our talking theology m the Herald. It is not the most appropriaio place, we admit; still, it is necessary that a little gospel leaven should be kept working in the community; and, as the preachers have quit that subject and taken our place as politicians, wc are compelled to leave politics somewhat, and discharge their duties as preachers of the gospel. When they desire us to discontinue the vocation, they will please signify it by resuming gospel subjects in the pulpits. We shall bo promptly governed by their action in the premises. But, on the Sunday question, as the political power, the civil law is invoked to enforce its observance, a mixed question of politics and theology is presented, which we must jointly discuss. Indiana. “ Private letters from Indiana give a very discouraging account of Governor Morton’s condition. But little hopes are now entertained of his final recovery, although his illnets may be protracted for several mouths.” We clip the above from the Chicago Republican- It is an old adage that you must go away from home to get the news. The people of this city do not understand the facts to be at all as stated by the Republican. J. Q. A. Griffin a prominent Massachusetts jMlltician and legislator, died at Boston on the
GiTlng np the Ghost. The miserable old traitorous, constitutiou denouncing and burning, secession advocating, negro stealing. Republican party, under the lead of Chase, Wade, Sumner, Stevens, Julian, Morton and all that species, is in'a dying condition, by the confessions of its past and present ftiends. Secretary McCulloch declares that its days are numbered; that it has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. That it has proved itself incapable of anything but blood and destruction; that it is expert in tearing down, but utterly incompetent to build up. That it is practiced in lawlessviolence, but ignorant of constitutional, legal, civil administration. He says that that traitorous, disunion party now floats a leaky, sinking, old hulk. The Chicago Republican, a radical Republican paper, most bitterly denunciatory of the President, fears the statement of McCulloch will prove true. It
says:
“CONGRESS AND THE COUNTRY. •‘Our Washington specials announce that the Union Senators will meet to-day. when a final programme will be adopted, that will pass by the middle of the week. We trust this report will prove true. The country is tired with waiting upon the slow and eratic movements of Congress. Thus far there has been nothing done In the way of a settlement of the great questions of the day. “ One trouble in the way is this: ive have too many great men in Congress, and each one of these feels himself entirely competent to cure all our national ills by constitutional treatment; and the only thing that prevents the Federal Constitution from being transformed into a voluminous statute book is the inability of these legislators to agree upon each others propositions. The Constitution of the State of Louisiana fixed the compensation to be paid to policemen of the city of New Orleans. If our Washington representatives could only carry out, in the aggregate, the plans of the several members, we might look for something quite as appropriate to be proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. . .. “ We are seriously apprehensive that the adjournment of Congress will leave the country in a worse condition than it was at its meetiug. No plan of restoration has yet been acted upon by either house that will effect the desired object of restoring, in its former completeness, the integrity of the Union, and, unless the Union party shall unite upon some simple and practical measure for the accomplishment of tins end, its days of power are numbered. In our present distracted condition, Illinois may be regarded as a doubttul State; and, without the adoption of some harmonious plan of reconstruction by the Republican party in Congress, upon which we can make a fair and open light, the State will be carried against us in the coming elections. “ These are plain statements, but they are true, and it is time that our Iriends under-
stood it.”
Now, it is very strange that Mr. Dana, or Mr. Luce, or Mr. Whoever, at present, edits the Republican, does not see that he is just as culpable as Congress for prolonging disunion till be admits the people are tired ol it. He insists that the Union must bo restored by some new plan of government. He concedes to the soldiers that the war they fought to restore the Union failed to do it. He insists that the Union is dissolved, and must be restored by some new plan of government. Well, of course, that new plan must be framed and agreed upon by Congress; this will take time; this will prolong disunion; but after this plan is adopted by Congress, it amounts to nothing till adopted by States; and here, again, time is required, disunion is prolonged. Jlr. Chicago Republican does not want the Union restored till after the next presidential election, much as he berates his radical congressional friends for tardiness, unless it is done upon some plan that will be certain to give his party the power, and to try to devise such a plan is just what Congress is consuming time for, This talk of the Republican, so far manifests anxiety for speedy union, is sheer hypocrisy; because, if the Republicans were really friendly to a restoration of the Union, it could be effected in an hour. There is nothing required except simply the admission of Representatives from the Southern States, and there we are; again a Union, again a nation, again the United States of America, again the E Pluribus Unum, made by our fathers. President Johnson says this. Judge Gooding says this. In his speech in this city, last Tuesday night, he is report 'd thus: He claimed that the Executive had done all that could be done to restore the seceded States to their practical relations with the Union, and that Congress could, in one hour, if it were so minded, complete the work of restoration.” Now, then, why Is disunion prolonged? Whose fault is it? The answer is plain. It is the fault of the traitorous disunion Republican party; of the Julians, the Mortons, the Journals who advisa its action and prefer dis union to a loss of political power by that nest of radical traitors. Here is the whole, case Johnson says: admit the Representatives from the Southern States and restore the Union at once. The Republicans say, we prefer prolong disunion till we can make a now Government that will keep our party in power. What worse disunion treason was ever committed than that?

RESOLUTIONS OF A DECIDED STAMP.
oramhllng to Pieces. We understand a portion of the Republicans are scared by the result of the nominating election, last Saturday; say the ticket nominated will be beaten, and insist upon choking off the cornstalk generals and stall fed stay at home patriotic civilians who were nominated. Others of the party say that that will be ruin, that nominations must be stuck up to. and that Morton must satisfy the defeated by some good jobs to be paid out of the contingent funds. This, of course, would cause difficulty with such as wanted to lap those all up without the interference of any more flies. This leads them all to swearing about the ending of the war so soon; while that was kept up there were plenty of jobs could be gotten up, and plenty of the people’s money at hand; they cuss Sherman, and repeat Greeley’s old slander that he surrendered to Johnson, instead of Johnson to him, etc., but what is to be done about it, we don’t know. But doubtless the rebellion will be put down sometime. Defending Traitor*. President Johnson says the men who organized the Sons of Liberty in 1855, to resist the Government by armed force under Chase of Ohio; the men who burnt the Constitution the United States, declaring it, in the language of JULIAN, a bad bargain, a bargain with the Devil (see Julian’s speech quoted by us a few days ago,) and, in the language of other prominent Republican leader, who oke in this city last winter, a league with hell, etc.; the flag a flaunting lie, etc.; President Johnson says these men are traitors, as bad as Jeff. Davis; and yet the Journal defends and supports all these mez. It says it prefers Julian to a Union Democrat. The Journal, in 1861, advocated treason, if to advocate secession and disunion be treason. These matters have all been proved on it; and yet, its Republican radical party friend. District Attorney Hanna, has never caused the Journal to bo indicted and arrested for disloyalty. Why is this? Should not the gander and the goose have the same sauce? The Indianapolis, CrawfordSTille and Danville Railroad. Mr. Wilson, the President of this company, is now in this city prepared to give a bonus of $250,000 in cash donations; also, the road bed between Crawfordsrille and Covinton, upon which there has been expended some $128,000, which will be worth its cost to any party who agrees to construct the road; also the right of way from this city to Danville, Illinois. This work, when completed, will, from the country it will drain, be a paying road, counting the stock at par. The donations and rights of way will reduce the stock to the contractors to six-ty-five cents on the dollar. We should think that our friends of the Columbus and Indianapolis railroad would eagerly seize this opportunity of extending their line westwardly through so fine and productive a country as this road will drain, and bring the great West
within their reach.
FOR ASS3SSORS. Randolph Township—Lewis B. Hunt. Union Township—J. S. Barricklow. Cass Township—John Winings. Pike Townships—John McGwire. Speeches were made by Hon. Richard Gregg, of Dearborn, and Colonel H. E. Dodd.

On motion, the convention instructed their delegates to support Hen. W. G. Holman in the Congressional convention as their choice for Congress. Adjourned. II. E. Dodd, President. R. S. Myers, Secretary. — ^ ^ - Proceeding* Senatorial Convention of Monroe and. Brown Counties. The Democratic senatorial convention lor the district composed of Monroe and Brown counties, met at Unionville on Saturday, May •26, 1866. The convention was oalled to order, and on motion of Samuel II. Buskirk, Stephen B. Cook of Brown county was chosen president. On motion of Eugene Cully, Jacob S. Broadwell, of Monroe, was chosen secretary. On a call of the townships, delegates from all the townships responed. On motion, a committee was appointed to report the number of votes to which each township was entitled in convention. The convention then adjourned until one o’clock, p. M. The Neon vention was culled to order at one o’clock by the president. The report of the committee was- received and adopted. The convention then proceeded to the selection of a candidate for State Senator. The name of William Taggard, of Brown county, was placed in nomination. No other nomination being made, Mr. Taggart was declared the Democratic nominee for senator by acclamation. Hugh Marlin offered the following resolutions which were adopted: Resolved, That we reaffirm and Indorse the resolutions, adopted by the last Democratic State convention, and that we will give the ticket by it nominated, together with our candidate for senator, our cordial and ablest sup-
port.
Resolved, That the restor .tiou policy of President Johnson meets our heartiest approval. and we hereby renew to him our pledges of support in his contest with a radieal rump congress, in favor of white supremacy, and
against negro equality.
Tiie convention was then ably addressed upon the issues between the Democratic party and the party in power, by Ex-Governor Paris C. Dunning and Samuel H. Buskirk. On motion of James S. Williams, the Indianapolis Herald, New Albany Ledger and Seymour Union were requested to publish the proceedings of the convention. After which the convention adjourned, Stephen B. Cook, President. Jacob S. Broadwell. Secretary. The President** Equanimity Tested. “Mack” contributed the following to the CommerciaZ,-under date Washington, May 22: They tell a story about the President, and a severe test upon his good humor, which will do to relate. The Right Way is a small seven-by-hine sheet, sadly misnamed, and devoted primanlv, to the abuse of Andrew Johnson, and, secondarily, lo the advocacy eftiue Sumnerian mode of reconstruction. Lew. Campbell happened to pick up a copy of it a few months ago. which was peculiarly “ rich ” in vituperation and scandal, lie took it to the White House, and, in the course of an interview with his Excellency, drew it from his pocket, with the remark, “ Now. Mr. President, I am going to test your different moral and mental qualities. Let me see how you are
as to philosophy,”
Campbell then read an reticle entitled “ Andrew Johnson and Thomas Paine,” written after the manner of Plutarch’s “ Comparison,” and designed to show that Paine was a very estimable man compared with Johnson. The
President listened to it attentively. “How do you like that?” said Campbell.
“ Well, it’s not bad," said Andrew, good
humoredlv.
“ Now,” said Campbell, “ l want to test your patriotism.” And be read an article showing that as between Andrew Johnson and Benedict Arnold there was a large balance in favor of the latter in the matter of love of
country.
“ How do you like that? ” said Campbell. “Oh, it will do. This is a free eouutry # you know,” smilingly replied the President. “ Well, now prepare for a test of your fidelity,” said Campbell, and proceeded to read an article entitlctl “Judas Iscariot and Andrew Johnson.” to the effect that the betrayal of his Master by the former was us nothing compared with the betrayal of bis party by the “ What do you think of that, Mr. Presi-
dent?”
“ Well, I guess my shoulders are broad enough to stand it,” replied Jiis Excellency, not at all moved to displeasure. “ Now, here comes the climax,” said Campbell, and began to read a double leaded editorial to the effect that the Right Way would be circulated through the agency of the Freedmen’s Bureau, under an order from General Howard. ., . „ “ How do you like that, Mr. President? ” inquired Campbell. The President laughed, looked his Ohio friend in the eye, and said: “Well, now, I don’t mind the other things, but doesn’t it strike you that the Howard part is a little too
steep? ”
Campbell said it really did occur to him In that light.. The President finally took the paper and made some notes on the margin of the order of General Howard—since which time it is supposed the Freedmen’s Bureau hasn’t been Instrumental in circulating the Right
Way to a very great extent. A SERIOUS QUESTION.
THE SPEECHES FEED OF “SWAP.”
Agreeably to notice given through our columns, a large and enthusiastic meeting of the friends of President Johnson was held at the United States Assessor's office, Wednesday evening. The crowd was composed entirely of those who voted for Lincoln and Johnson,
in the last Presidential election.
On motion of Mr. Polke, Deputy United States Assessor, Colonel C. M. Allen was called upon to preside, but Colonel A., on account of peculiar circumstances, which, he said, would readily suggest themselves to the crowd, he felt constrained to decline the honor, at the same time assuring the meeting that his heart was deeply enlisted in this movement—that, although some of the extremists of the party, auch as Thad. Stevens, O. P. Morton, Julian, Fred. Douglass, and all of that ilk were not suited, he. as a conservative, representative man of the party—as one who had no small share in the first bringing into prominence the lamented Lincoln, and also assisting prominently in making Mr. Johnson an appendage to the Republican ticket in the last race, felt his heart leap with joy at this unmistable indication that the great Republican party was yet true to itself and to the country, in the present struggle between our patriotic^ President and the fag-end of a fanatical, Yankee, puritanical assemblage, called Congress. Colonel A. spoke at length, but we will not attempt to give even a synopsis of bis remarks, in this brief notice. We will endeavor to pub-
lish a full report hereafter.
Finally, Mr, J. G Bowman, United States Assessor, was selected as chairman and J. T. Willis, Postmaster at BrucevlUe, appointed Secretary. . . , , Mr. Bowman, on taking the chair, explained the object of the meeting to be the adoption of resolutions and appointment of delegates to the Johnson Union State Convention. At this stage of the proceedings, the crowd had swelled to such dimensions that the capacity of the Assessor’s room was found to be insufficient to accommodate it, when, on motion of Mr. Beeler, the meeting adjourned to the City Hall. , Upon re-assembling as above, Mr. Beeler suggested that the chairman was somewhat premature in his explanation that it was incumbent to pass resolutions. He did not think resolutions were important, for the recent Republican Union State CopvtnBon bad been so full, clear and explicit, under this head—bad discharged its duty so nobly in all respects, [Here the voice of the speaker was drowned in cries of “ order! ” “ order! put him out,” When order was partially restored. Dr. II. M. Smith, postmaster at Yineenues, rose, very much excited, and suggested that the first duty of the meeting was to eject all such persons as were present claiming to bo delegates who were not embraced in the call—that Mr. Beeler could not properly take part in the deliberations, as he was not a sincere and original friend of Mr. Johnson—he (B.) had been an applicant for tbo postoffice in this city, and, ng to get it, felt aggrieved. He therefeu that Mr. Beeler, and his friends, be
faili
move
He therefore
re-
quested to withdraw, which motion was adopted by consent, and Beeler, Caddington,
etc., left the room.
Mr. Ghee, deputy United States collector, moved that Hon. C. M. Allen, H. B. Shepard, United States collector, Joseph G. Bowman, United States assessor, H. M. Smith, postmaster at Vincennes, J. T. Willis, postmaster at Brucevllle, and J. U. Hadden, postmaster at Edwardsport, be appointed to select delegates
and report resolutions.
[ The name of Samuel Judas was also suggested, by some in the outskirts of the crowd, but was received with such a storm of hisses,
that it was quickly withdrawn.]
Mr. Willis, postmaster, moved that Colonel
Allen’s name In
e stricken from the committee.
In his part of the county, the Republicans generally censured Colonel Allen for Unequivocal character of the resolutions adopted by the late Republican State Convention, which had created such discord in the party. As far as he was personally concerned, he had no social objections to urge, but, occupying an official relation to the President, he was fearful of the consequences, if Allen’s
name was left on the committee.
Colonel Allen said in reply, that he had been charged with the authorship of the “equivocal resolutions adopted by the Republican State Convention." He admitted that he had taken a prominent part In that convention, and felt proud of his connection with it. He had labored for the good of bis party, disregarding his own self interests and looking ont for bis friquds all the time. He had never been an applicant for position under the present incumbment of the Presidential chair, though he used to gently hint at something looking to preferment at the hands of the dearly lamented Lincoln, whom God, in Ills infinite wisdom, had called from earth just as he (Allen) was getting matters into a desirable
shape for himself and relatives.
Hundreds of men in the State who had done less for the great party than he had, were now reaping golden harvests out of the spoils of executive patronage; but all be asked for his many sacrilices and disinterested, unselfish course was the gratitude of his friends. He referred to his race for Congress in 1864, where he became a candidate for the good of his party alone, with a full knowledge, alter ho had got in too far to recede, that he would be compelli.| to expend a large sum of money and suffer a sliamelul defeat in the end. He would rather submit to the ordeal of the “ moxu’’ than e<> through another such siege. Someone in the crowd yelled out, “ Tell us. Colonel, if you didn’t make the race for Congress with the unj derstanding that a certain number of soldiers were to be imported to vote for you, whichwas only prevented from being consummated by the raid of that rebel • copperhead’ Wheeler?” “Ah, gentlemen, t s responded the Colonel, j this is no time to touch upon such matters. Let bygones be bvgoncs! 1 was defeated. That’s sufficient. But I must say, in connection with the question just asked, that things didn't turn out just exactly as I had calculated! Whether Wheeler was altogether to blame, l am not now prepared to aver.” Colonel A. wound up his earnest remarks In asserting that, if any politician in the State could lav claim to the honor of being actuated in his political course by purely patriotic considerations and impulses, be was that man. Mr. Shepard, United States assessor. hoped the name of Colonel Allen would be retained— he had no fears as to the character of the resolutions—knew they would be perfectly understood and cordially indorsed by all present. Dr. Smith, postmaster at this place, regretted that this matter had been sprung—it was only calculated to do harm. He was willing to trust the committee, even with Colonel Allen on it, as the balance of the members were office holders, and, as a sequence, friends of President Johnson, about whose position there
could be no difference of opinion.
Mr. Bowman, U. S. assessor, said wc lived in an era of progress, in which the events of
ing crowded into a life-time. He
said it was only a short time since the ques-
and Apprerfatodf by the President, who holds our bread in the “palm of his hand.” The resolutions were adopted unanimously. On motion, Colonel Allen, Dr. Smith, postmaster here, 11. B. Shepard, United States Revenue Collector. J. G. Bowman, United States Revenue Assessor. J. R. Haddon, postmaster at Edwardsport, J. T. Willis,postmaster at Brueeville, and all the assistants and attaches of Government: be appointed delegates from Knox county to the Johnson State convention, at Indianapolis, doth inst. We have not attempted to give anything like a full synopsis of the proceedings of the meeting. As wc have said, there was great cmhusiasq}, and a unity of feeling and purpose rarely exhibited in political gatherings of such a peculiar character. Jeff. Davis. The Chief Justice of the United States having been clothed by a recent act of Congress with authority to "hold a special term of the Circuit Court of the United States in this city, it is now very generally conceded that exPresident Davis will Le arraigned for trial | upon the charge of “ treason ” either m the months of June or of July next. The trial will be the most important which I has ever taken place either in this or any other country. No such State trial eVcr occured in England. It is a remarkable fact in the history of Richmond, that if the trial of ex-President Davis shall be held here, three of the most important State trials which have taken place in this country will have occured in this city. The trial of John Thompson Callender, in 1S00, for a seditious libel upon President John Adams, was the first of th* se famous criminal
cases.
Callender himself was little worthy of the whirlwind of excitement which his trial then
excited,
He was a foreigner who is represented to have been as depraved in morals as he was malignant in temper. His case derives its importance from the fact that the Democratic leaders of that day, having marshaled their forces for a terrible conflict with the Federal party, availed themselves of his trial, and of the rude, contemptuous and indecent conduct of the parlizan judge who presided, to break down the alien and sedition laws, and impeach the Justice of the Supreme Court, who had made himself most odious in mercilessly
inforcing them.
The alien and sedition laws punished with fine and imprisonment any one who discussed with disrespectful asperity the public acts of the President of the United States. Callender published a harsh and vulgar political pamphlet, in which he abused President Adams. For this he was indicted, on the 28th of May, 1800, by the grand jury of the Circuit Court of the United States, Justice Chase presiding. The prisoner was defended by Messrs. Hay, Nicholas and Wirt, am! the whole course of the trial was marked by the most brutal and indecent conduct upon the part of Justice Chase toward the counsel for the defense. He refused all reasonable and proper motions for a continuance, bullied and scolded the counsel for Callender, and played the pan of prosecutor in a manner to completely eclipse the district attorney. Ills rulings were evidently dictated by bitter party feeling*; and not by !
justice or precedent.
When Wirt was proceeding to argue to the i jury that the alien and sedition act was un- i constitutional, .fudge Chase Insultingly or- 1 dered him to take his seat. The counsel for the defence then refused to argue the case. After a long and violent charge from Judge Chase the jury retired, and, after an absence of two hours, brought in a verdict of u guilty,” and the court sentenced Callender to nine | months' imprisonment, and imposed a fine of two hundred dollars. Callender was subsequently pardoned by President Jefferson , upon the express grounds “ that the law was as ab. solute a nullity as if Congress hail nrd. n d us to r fal. down ami worship a golden image." The tempest which this trial oera-ioued ! throughout the United states at that time can scarcely be understood. The newspapers of that day were, for the first time, crammed with detailed reports of the ease. Virginia was tn a flame; for, even before the trial, aflidavits were circulated in which it was stated that, before the trial, Justice Chase had said he would have “ no d—d Democrats on the grand Jury,” and •• that he would teach the lawyers of Virginia the difference between the liberty and licentiousness of the press.” He also likened himself to a “schoolmaster who was about to birffii a low unruly boys as they
deserved.”
HU political admirers got up caricatures of this judicial ruffian stretching, in turn, Wirt, Nicholas, Hay, and other eminent Virginian*, across his knee and flogging them soundly. His rude, coarse and indecent behavior during Callender’s trial was designed to humiliate the aide and spirited bar of this city. The slaps he gave TN’icholas and Hay, at the outset of the trial, were terrible specimens of judicial
rudeness.
The offended and insulted lawyers resented the conduct of Judge Chase so fiercely, that John Randolph, at their instance, preferred articles of impeachment against him. live of them were based upon *i Callender's trial.” He was found guilty upon the article which charged “rude, contemptuous and indecent conduct to counsel,” although acquitted upon other charges. Nothing but party sympathy of the Federal members of the s-cnato saved him from eonvietioq by a two-thirds sole, and the impeachment is sdd to J.ave utterly
crushed Judge Chase.
The next great 8tate trial, whi. h directed the attention of millions to the Circuit Court of the United States at Itichmond, was that of Burr, for treason, which commenced on the 22d of 51ay. 1807, Richmond was then a city of only six thousand inhabitants, and it is said that there were at the commencement of the trial twice that number of strangers in the city. Among the striking scenes of that day was that of a lank, ungainlj* man, named Andrew Jackson, who is described as “mounting upon the steps of a corner grocery, and denouncing Thomas Jefferson for the part he had i.iki ii for fnislrating the schemes” of Aaron Burr. The trial took place in the present hall of tip- Hoiise cf Delegate-, and the struggle for n.tiulisioii was terrible. -So great was the number of distinguished persons claiming scats within the bar, that lawyers of twenty years’ standing were* excluded from their accustomed seats. Among the young nu n of the

The distinguished and unfortunate statesman who is soon to bo tried is the representative of the millions who agreed with hirA in sentiment, and who conferred upon him unsolicited and dangerous honors. His character as a man of spotless integrity, ability, and Christian virtues, is not questioned, nor is it pretended that he is the author and principal promoter of tbo late civil war. Thousands who were far more active in initiating hostilities than himself have been long since pardoned. He alone, merely as a consequence of having held a high office, is tq be tried for bis
life.
In this trial we recognize the arraignment and prosecution not of one man, but of an entire section. Hence in dignity and importance it will be the most Important trial which has ever occurred.

lion at issue was whether a negro 4tra* as good ns a white man, but the great problem now— one which concerns constitutional liberty on this continent—is, whether a white man, who is very circumspect in his deportment, is as good as a negro—at a proper time he intended to read an essay before the Lyceum in elucidation of the subject. Uc closed by saying that although the resolutions of tho State convention perhaps dodged the issues, tho fact that he was named as one of the committee proposed to be appointed by this meeting, was a suflient guarantee that there would lie no dodg-
ing now.
The motion, as originally made, was finally adopted, whereupon the committee thus appointed retired, and, after a brief absence, reported, through Colonel Allen, the following: Resolved, That with feelings of patriotic pride we survey the course pursuedTiy the great Ite-publican-Union party during the past four years, and that we most unequivocally and fully indorse the reconstruction policy inaugurated by President Johnson, and exemplified and effectuated by the Congress of the United States. > Resolved, That we tender our thanks to Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, for the efforts he has made, consistent with our views of the fitness of things, for the restoration of the Union of tho States, as also to the Congress of the United States, in all their measures adopted by it consistent with
the same view for the same purpose.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the largest liberty to the largest number, - without regard to race or color, provided It be consistent with the expenditure of the public moneys in the same channels as at present distributed, and without any material disturbance of the
finances of the powers that be.
Resolved, That as recently enunciated by that pure patriot, E. M. Stanton, the Freedmen’s bureau bill having been vetoed by the President, and the effort to pass it in Congress

A law in the Utah statute books declares that “ no laws, nor ports of taws sh*il be read, argued, cited, or adopted in any Court, during any trial, except those enacted by the Governor and Legislative Assembly of this Territory, and those passed by the Congress of the United States, when applicable: and no report, decision, or doings of any Court shall be read, argued, cited, or adopted as precedent in any other trial.” Brigham evidently has little respeet for the wisdom of British and American lights of jurisprudence, and relies on his own superior intelligence.

Edmund llmidolpb. John j Wickham, Luther Martin, Benjamin Boll-, j mid “JackBak. r” appeared for Burr. The grand juries of thoxt days were composed of the mo.-t eminent and distinguished men of the State, anti we find a United States Senator (Giles) among the grand jurors, who was withdrawn in consequence of his “ prejudices against the accused.” John Bandolph, tho great orator of Boauoke, was summoned in the place of Giles, and was tho foreman of the grand jury. Contrast this grand jury w ith that which so lately met at Norfolk, and after listening to Underwood’s harangue found a
true bill against Mr. Davis.
After the finding of a true bill, fourteen days were spent in getting an impartial jury who had “ neither formed nor expressed an opinion os to the guilt of thp accused.” Out of a venire of forty-eight, but four men were found whose opinions'werc sufficiently undecided to permit them to act as jurors. There was but one juryman challenged by Burr. It must bo borne in mind that he had, but a short time before his trial, killed Alexander Hamilton in
a duel.
A person who was being examined as to his comjieteucy us n juror, sharply questioned and somewhat nettled by Burr’s counsel, turning to the spectators, said: “I am surprised they should be in such terror of me. Perhaps it is because my first name is ‘ Hamilton.’ ” "That remark,’’ exelaimed Burr, “ is a sufficient reason for objecting to him. 1 challenge him peremptorily." Out of a second venire of fortyeight all "had formed unfavorable opinions as to the accused, and mutters looked so desperate that the counsel for the defence moved to quash the trial for the simple reason that no impartial jury could be obtained. A jury, however, was at last obtained by permitting Burr to select eight jurors, w bo were added to the four already selected in the usual way. The procurement of a jury had -occupied from the second to the seventeenth of August, and on that day the examination of the witnesses for the Government commenced. The examination oi the witnesses, and the arguim nt of counsel continued from the seventeenth to the twenty-ninth of August, when Chief Justice Marshal virtually decided the case by that famous opinion, the reading of which occupied more than three hours. No “ overt act ” of treason had been proved against Burr, and the decision of Marshall that “ no testimony relative to the conduct or declarations of the prisoner, elsewhere and subsequent to the transactions on Blannerhasset Island, (the alleged overt act of treason,) can be admitted; because such testimony (icing in its nature merely corroborative, and incompetent to prove the overt act iu itself, is irrelevant until there can be proof of the overt act by two witnesses.” The jury, with these instructions, returned the following qualified verdict of acquittal; “ We, of tho jury, say that Aaron Burr is not proved to be guilty under the indictment by any evidence submitted to us. We, (Aere/ore, find him not guilty.” This verdict greatly excited Burr, who at once sprang to his feet, ami with great excitement of manner protested against the form of the indictment, aud demanded that it should be rendered in tho regular and less damaging form. The verdict was finally simply entered on tho record as “not guilty.” Burr was then admitted to bail, and tried and acquitted of the charge of misdemeanor, on the ground that the offence was not committed in \ irginia. Thus, eight months after his arrest, and six mouths after the commencement of proceedings against him in Virginia, Burr was onoo more free. The trials of Callender and Burr, in their day and generation, enchained the attention of the whole nation, but compared with the proposed trial of the ex-President of the Confederate States, they shrink Into absolute insignificance. Callender was a low, brutal and .drunken hack writer, whose cause was espoused by a party then rising into power, to annihilate the Federal party. Burr was an • unprincipled* disappointed adventurer, whose real oWecfrmust always remain a question of grave doubt.
