Scarcely a republican paper reaches us that does not invoke the powers that be in favor of taking thc life of JetF. Davis. Now that thc government has completed its arrangements for his trial by thc law for treason, and the case ret for hearing in June, the radicals arc fearful of his acquittal, notwithstanding Chief Justice Chase, as unscrupulous a radical as the worst of them, will preside at the trial. They see that his acquittal is almost a certainty, and hence are much disgusted with And' Johnson for not having had him tried by n military commission "ordered to try, and organized to convict" him. These bloodthirsty s .ns of Satan arc bot satisfied with thc blood of hundreds of thousands slain durincr tha rebellion, which themselves and their counterparts in thc south were alike instrumental in bringing upou the couutry. Hate still rankles in their fiendish hearts and their constant cry is '-blood, more blood." What good could possibly Come to the country by hanging Davis ? What harm couM possibly ensue by leaving him to the tender :nercic3 of his own sad menv cries ? The people of thc south have had enough of rebellion, and Davis is powers less for evil. Kesidcs this, thc best legal talent in Kurope and America unite in de daring tint ho cannot be convicted of treason without outraging all the doctrines and principles of National and Inter-State law. Had he been taken in armed oppo sition to the government and during thc continuance of thc rebellion, tried by mil itary commission and executed, there might have been some apparent reason for the act, but even then he was entitled to the ri"ht3 of a belligerent, and hence could not in justice, lmc been executed. This was probably the rC-on why the President refused to allow his trial in ihat manner. Wc can see but one good end to be ac accomplished by his trial now, and that is the judicial settlement of the question ; What constitutes treason ? " Perhaps another incident to this, will be thc disabusing of the public mind of many of thc radical notions inluscd into it during thc lust five years, by a set of unscrupulous and unprincipled, political thieves .ind Kauiblcr3 so rife in the land. So far a3 wo are personally concerned we urc little for the fate of Davis, except as thc principles and practices established in his case may affect thc liberties of thc people. His is but a single life worth no more and no less to him than were the hundreds of thousand. of lives destroyed by thc war, to their possessors. Wc append hereto a few samples of republican expressions relativo to this aubject, to show thc spirit that animates tho party who arrogate to thems felrcs all thc morality and piety of tha ths country, and claim to be in such clote pDximity to thc veil that divides this from the spiritual world, that they can distinctly "hear thc whisperings of thc infinite." Wc must be excused, however, if ie suspect that the "whisperings" which thoy often hoar, arc nothing more or Ics.s than the echoes cf tLcir uvrn evil thoughts and wishes : Jeff. Davii is to be tried ttlast by Judgo" T'ndcrwood, at Norfolk, Virginia. Wc hope the ourt will be as lenient with him as the one "which triod Mrs. .Surrat were with her. Northern ltultunitnt Jeft". Davis, has been indicted for treason in the United State.- Circuit Court, for thc lYudrict of Virginia.

IVeropliobin In Congress What is thc first duty of Congrcsi ? cordiög to thc radicals, it is to f c.0tlc protect and legislate for nc rnoj roe.-. Not Ion? sicco thcr - Wis a riot in Mem phis in which nrTCci anJ whitc3 partici. pated, and -yThjc pretty generally known k.fe originated in the reckless and out rages conduct of tho blacks. Acting under the advice of their abolition allies iu the north and at Washington they became dajgerous to thc community and in many instances carried threats of violence into actual execution. Thc whites cecamc inv censed and thc blacks more and more in sokut until a collision ensued in which thc blacks were worsted. Their allies in Congress forthwith appointed n committee to visit Memphis, avowedly to ascertain the facts, but in reality to whitewash ihcir colored proteges and place them before thc world in thc light of innocent sufferers. This is to be done of course at the public expense the expense of thc toiling millions of white men. We do not recoK lect any similar instance in thc history of the country, although riots have freqently occurred among whites in differcut places. Congress has appropriated nearly twelve million5- of dollars during thc present scs sion for the Frcedmcn's Bureau, which is to bo expended in feeding, clothing, and educating ncsrocs and in thc erc2tion of school-houses for their children. We be lieve that Congress has never yet undertaken to feed and clothe poor white men nor to educate their children at thc cx pense of thc Government. Does Congress think negroes more deserving than whites ? Let the laboring white men think of these things. According to thc Washington correspondent of ihc Chicago Tribune, (Radical,) the Supreme Court of thc United States stands as follows : "Of the eight Justices, three out of four of those appointed by the President, viz: Messrs. Weller, Swaync and Davis, and one of the older ones, viz : 31 r. Swajne, are understood to be in sympathy with Congress. Justices Nelson, Grier, Wayne, Clifford and Field on thc other hand, arc believed to be in sympathy with thc President." Pleading Insanity. Under thc above caption tho Chicago Tribune, thu3 hits off thc somewhat fashionable plea of insanity so frequently put in by offenders against tho majesty of thc law : Tho recent novel and decidedly dangeroiiS treatment of thc man Hopps dangerous to thc community, not to his neck suggests a few parallel cases. 1 Tow would such records as thc following read of translacIIvPS in ine j. once ouri i ' Aa Irishman was brought up on the charge ot brcal;. life's head with the handle of a broom, thcrr?:? FCriC2sl , j endangering thc life of thc woman, an trcikinr thc broom handle in two. Thc outrage was admitted on thc part of thc defence, but it w&3 claimed that thc priss oner was insane, inasmuch as he cherished a delusion that brooms were manufactured for that purpose. Thc plea was accepted, and thc man was acquitted. Application was made by the prosecution to have the person of the defendant secured in somo asylum, to prevent a recurrence of the offence. The justice, however, refused to grant it, on the ground that as thc broom handle was broken, the ohject of Iiis dclu sion wa3 removed, and thc man must now be considered perfectly sane. He therefore ordered the prisoner to be liberated." "Another singular instance of this obliquity of moral vision was brought before the fame Court, where a youth named Timothy Sharpc was accused of picking the pocket of ono Thomas Jones. Thc young man seems to have cherished thc insane delusion that tho money in Jonc's pocket belonged to himself, and seizing a favorahlc opportunity he appropriated the same. Several eminent physicians testified that Sharpe waunmistakably insane when the supposed theft was committed, and that tho cause of his insanity was thc fact of thc .inonflyH)eiiig in Joqes' pocket. Tho charge was accordingly dismissed. The prosecuiin aiiornoy moved that an in vestigation be made into the present tatc of thc prisoner's mind, with a view to have him removed to thc Asylum at Jacksonville in Hie event of his still tdierishing such delusions. Tho motion was overruled by thc Coiin, wJto consiueroa sucu a course Riitirelv unnccessarv. It was clear tohim that thc "object of delusion" had been removed from Joues pocket, so that the prisoner could no longer be regarded as in sane. He therefore ordered bharpe to lc libciatcd." Cold Coffee. Coffee, if kept from meal to meal, with thc intention of renew, inir for use. should not stand in tin. Let it be poured iuto an earthen dish, and thc coffee pot bo washed aud dried each timo of using. There are few things that will take a flavor more readily than coffee. When in thc berry, it often imbibes the odor or ppiccs and liquors, which in transportation may bo placed near it, to such an extent as to result in entire loss to the owner. Ship loads have been spoiled, which tho usa of a little knowledge niiirbt have been eccurcd i from injury.

our readers may have an idea of the feel- , ; , prcvalcnt lllcrc wc repröjucc Vue Vl lowing from thc columns 0I tb, - M. a KM ' .... . Thc army and "T i . i r i .avy .Journal, a paper which feeds ur" ., n , c ' i . nff.in nn a - . n tllc oa of war, is out Tl.. bcllif our i-'ioiicau x oucv. J-iie :rent attitude of thc Journil toward country would appear a little remarka- ! ble were it not for thc fact ahat it is equal ly anxious tor war anywhere and with anybody. It docs not make a speciality of this country by any means, but it clings to the idea that if a fight cannot be got en up elsewhere one certainly can be had with Mexico. It laments deeply over the domestic disscntions in the United States, as thereby thc work of slashing away at the Gordon knots with thc sword will be pre vented. Wc feel to pity thc Journal, over thc existing state of affairs; and inasmuch as its occupation depends upon war sonic where wc could almost wish that there were one between the United States and Mexico. It would be so delightful and profitable to sit back there iu New York and publish in the Army and Navy Journal all those terrible accounts of trui.-cd heads and perforated bodies on thc plains of Mexico ! The object of a war upon this country, the Journal docs not stop to define. Iu fact, it does not appear to have any idea of what is to be the result ot such a war, whether or not it should be attended with success. That is not tho question. War or no war, is thc issue, and upon it the Journal lives and flourishes or dies to be forgotten. Whilst our sympathies are aroused in behalf of this feeder upon the offal of carnage and slaughter, we cannot close our eyes to the consequencies of a war of racas so urgently demanded by that New York Cannibal. The most serious objection wc have to the Journal and its parasites aud satclites is that, studied falsehood and deception lie at the bottom of every line published by them. They raise false issues to inflame public mind in thc United States, and keep hidden the inevitable consequences of the unholy work which they arc endeavoring to urge forward. They accuse thc federal administration of holdinir the hot-blooded American people in check, and thereby preventir g the immediate restoration of thc Mexican republic. They should have said that thc administration was striving to avoid a war with the world, whereby tho work of conquest, of a war of races, of destruction to Mexican nationality was being defeated. That, thereby, soulless fillibustcrs, disbandoncd and abandoned army of ficers, contractors and soldiers, wero being kept from at once inaugurating the work of exterminating this people, this government, this national. They talk of restoring thc 3Iexican Re public, when they know that such a thing never existed. They know that within thc last forty years, seventy-five different rulers 1 avc held sway over tho Imperial Halls of Montezuma. They kuow that, during that time, there have been ?eventy-fivo times seventy-five local revolutions in this couutry. And is this the Kepublic which the "rapid, impatient, not to say, headlong Americans," arc so anxious to re-establish '( In thc name of Beast Butler let this be denied. Evjn he would scorn to own that thc American people were so cntiicly lost and abandoned a3 to desire thc return of any country on earth to so deplorable a condition. And all this without a dollar accruing therefrom to thc United States, nor a silver spoon to Dutler ! All this, without the hope of sending one ship-load of merchandise froai the United States to distracted Mexico ! Put wo can realize that thc federal ' North Americans feci that Mexico, like I tiic ?ou" )e'onn them. And when wo contempiaiG Mc ,iavoc ,nadc uron thc south hy thc northern horuC.K; where tics of kindred blood bind those pcopio il . .-. - of a war by that people upon this country. It means a war oi races, and thc extermin ation of one or tho other. It means conquest. It means the absorption of Mexi co. It means thc swallowing up of tin country, and this people, and thc complete obliteration of both people and nauie. XI c I'rotMliiioxi'M Ilurcnii. u The House Committee on thc Freed men's Dureau agreed to report a resolution tor tho appointment ot a joint committee of Congress, to investigate tho workings of thc Frcedmcn's Dureau system, to trav el through thc Southern State and take testimony aud report to Congre3." Tele gram. These Republicans arc - sharp fellows aftor plunder, but not very thoughtful about tho sufferings of tho pcop'c. Jhoy first take the negroes out the care of their masters. It cost something to do that ! They then create a bureau of masters for them, under whose tender inan agemcnt the negroes die faster than they can be buried, and thc Government pays thc JIuroau eleven millions a year to be getting the negroes out of thc way. What next : v hy, it seems, Congress creates an itinerant negro committee to buroau thc Rureau. And what next? Why jobs; unong them sixty thousand txtra, and more too, for piinting. And what then ? Why the people may work on hour a day lougor, to raise money to loot thc bills. Herald. Thc Yk'wy arc Doing It. We ?aw a lew days ago an item in a Cleveland daily, stating that a lot of twenty or more negroes had becu ßhippod into a city of the State of Ohio, to bo placed in shops along with white laborers, and that more was expected. So it will continue. These fanatics labor first to make thc nc gro dissatisfied with his presont relations and then induca him to como to thc North to compete with white labor. Tho Northern States will be overrun by these colored men, within thc next two years, aud the laboring men now will be compelled to work in competition with them, aud side by side in their daily toil, if Republican policy hall prevail. It is time tho masses wero rouaiug up to tho importance of this question. Dan. Standard.

resolutions were rassed ' TictfJifil Thfif ivn iro n nVr Ormond to granting suffrage to thc negro in Maryland and representation of non-voting negroes by rebels, and therefore we fully and completely indorse thc constitutional amendment to thc Constitution, basing representation on thc voting population, and all laws forever prohibiting the leading rebels from holding any office of confidence or trust. "ItesoIicJ, That wc firmly believe that safety and perpetuity of tho republican government, both State and National, dcN pend on the retention of power in thc hands of loyal men and therefore that we adhere to tho doctrine that none but loyal men should govern a State, even if their number should be less than 5,000." The first resolution declares for thc pending constitutional amendment because it repudiates negro suffrage, and alleges that it bases representation on thc voting population, and forever prohibits the leading rebels from holding any office of confidence or trust. As there are now many indications that tho radicals in Congress hare determined to pass the amendment and go before tho country with it in thc next general elections, thc construction given to it by thc prominent leaders in that party in the Hagerstown meeting is of much interest. They first emphatically conuemn tnc leading idea of thc radical party and commend the amendment for ignoring it. They next aver that the amendment bases representation on thc voting population. That is not true. The South will accept a proposition to make thc number of voters thc basis of representation if thereby her people may be insured against disfranchisement und all difficulties in thc way of admission be removed. The amendment proposes to make thc number of voters the basis in thc Southern States, and to make thc entire population the basis in the other States. It is therefore not only in contradiction of the general principle indorsed by thc meeting, but it would prove partial and oppressive in its workings. Thc resolutions mistake the character of tho amendment. They were framed to meet popular sentiment in Maryland, or what was supposed to be the popular sentiment of the radical party in that State. Such a construction of the amendment would not answer thc purposes of thc party in Massachusetts, nor would General Garfield take thc stump in Ohio declaring himself to be in favor of the amendment because it repudiated "manhood suffrage." Thc resolutions shov the difficulties that will confront thc radicals in their effort to uphold their plan of restoration. Each State will require a different explanation of it, aud the incon sistencies and subterfuges to which they will be driven will more severelv than ever before task their capacity as thimble-riggers. Their first effort has disclosed a split in Maryland. Governor Swann was announced as one of the speakers who would be present and address thc meeting. In a letter to thc Baltimore American he says he gave no authority for thc use of his name, and concludes his letter thus : " I look upon thc war now being waged upon President Johnson as ungenerous, unwise and uncalled for, and I believe that its longer continuance will greatly cmbaras thc national prosperity by keeping alive a state of uncertainty and distrust in thc public mind, both north and south, certain to eventuate in financial trouble affecting thc tide of immigration now flowing in upon us the domestic commerce between tho States and exercising a most destructive and paralizing influence generally upon all the great interests of the country." Ex-Governor Bradford was also advertised as amang those whose attendance was expected. In a card to thc same newspaper he says thc announcement was wifhout iimjiy. huh Jitwumy iiiu rauicais leit 1 -.. 1.-.I. Unn. 1. 1 . . il. . l- l rt i . thc refusal ü; -ucssrs. auuauu jjrauiord to indorse tli3 congressional pjan of reconstruction and their adherence to President Johnson, may be infered from the sub joined comment by the Raltimore American : C 111 If l "The time has arrived when thc Union party must have no concealments of its views and purposes. What lias heretofore been in doubt is now male stubborn tact by this definition of thc views of thc Gov ernor, and as he has thrown his influence into the scale with those who arc endeavoring to sell out tho party in Maryland, the issue must be accepted and manfully met at thc threshold. Wc must now o into the coming contest with new leaders, as most of those irhom wc have, hitherto dclijhdd to honor have, proved aithless to trust rejwecd in them." It is not in Maryland only that the radicals must go into the coming contest with new leaders, because most of those whom they have hitherto delighted to honor have forsaken them. To bring tho discordant elemcuts in tho Republican part' to a hearty support of that which all of those elements detest and have opculy condemned, is a tak such as has never before been undertaken by a political party in this country, and if successfully accomplished, will prove a akill in tho leaders of that party aud a subservience to discipline in thc rank and file which no pres ent indications promise. If tho President was not supported by tho Cabinet and by several of tho most able of thc Republican Senators, and by sumo of thc most widelycirculated newspapers in tho parly which elected him, wc believe that his policy is so plainly just and for tho best interest of tho country that it would bo sustained by an overwhelming majority of thc people. Tho only hope which tho radical had for a successful battlo with him was a faithful adherence to thc principle for which they professedly began their assault upon him. There was in that much that was pwcious and pcemingli just. When they abandoned it, they cast away th j only pretence which would have enabled them, with a show of plausability, to appeal to thc sense of justico in the people which, through misguided sympathy, has piven the Republican party all itJ triuaipli3.

the foundations of the Republican party, aud that they have ever been tho first to declare thc principles and policy which would lead it to success. Chicago Times.

Having assisted them in disposiug of thc (lowers, ho obtained their names, thanked them kindly and withdrew.

The Position of President Jolin-leiit.

A point of objection takeu by Mr. Johnson, in his vetoes, and speeches, and con" vcrsations, is that before any great radical changes are made, or important measures passed, by Congress or the States affecting the whole of the States and people, all the States should be represented iu Con "res. ! This he brings out, distintly, in lus Col orado veto. Johusou's position, then, may bo stated thus : He is for, first, admitting Southern representatives, restoring the Union, and then acting upon important measures afterward, when they can be consulted upon together, by all the members of the family to bo affected by them. This is right. This is the Democratic nosj'tlou. On thc other hand, Congress and the! Republicans are for keeping the Southern States out of thc Union, till the old Government is overthrown, and a new one toggled up, to which the South shall be forced to submit, without having been consulted in its formation. This places the President and Republicans in exact hostility, square antagonism. The President says, admit Southern Representatives at once, so that the family can all be together in consultation, then talk about your great measures and radical changes in thc Government. The Republicans say, exactly the reverse, viz., we desire to change the Government first, and then talk about admitting thc South afterward. There they are. The Democrats step to the side of Johnson; the Republicans to the side of Congress. Where's Morton ? Daily Herald. Are I lie At'sroes Free ? This question may well be asked, iu the light of the acts and practices of the Frecdmen'g Rureau, as wc gather them from r.', ppeetable Southern journals. It ccm from the operations of the agents of this Rureau, that they have assumed the ownership of the negroes of the South and trac'- them off for a consideration usinsr. . or rather abusing, the military power of the Government to force them to a com pliance w ith their demands. It seems to have grown into regular system that those agents should first excite difficulty between the frcedman and his employer, and then, under the plea that the former has violated his contract, scud him off to other States, where the agent has a contract to furnish a stipulated number of hands at a fixed price. The Augusta, Ca., Chrrir-ln ,WWs that these long faced hypocritical ranters about slavery, "habitually arrest negroes about all their cities at the point of thc bayonet tear them from their families and old associations and make contracts to senu them to some distant field of labor." Thc same paper says that in no instance within its knowledge have the Southern people attempted to control the frecdmen against their will. They leave them to work when they please, how they please, with whom they please, and where they please. It continues : Ry a law of thc State, their status, as free men, has been recommended, and the right to sue and be sued, to plead and be impleaded, to hold and convey property, to make contracts, to marry, to inherit, aud to will property, to testify in tho courts, and to do all other things necessary for their protection as freemen, have been conferred upon them. Protection by law has been given to thc same extent as to whito people, in the enjoyment of person and property, and they arc liable to thc same extent for infractions of the law ; tried by thc same courts under the same code, before the same juries, and subject to the same punishments as whites are. This wc have done, aud not grudgingly. With this state of facts, who arc the real friends of tho negro 7 Who arc the slave traders no'v the peoplo of thc South or thc Northern representatives of the "great party of human freedom?" 3fo. Rep. It is currently reportod that Mr. IIoss is to be taken off thc track by the Union State Central Committee, as the Republican candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, and that Mr. Andy Wallace is to be substituted. His wallagraphic style of spelling lias induced this change. There a no doubt that Andy is just as well qualified to take charge of the educational interests of the State, as he is to be at the head of the benevolent institutions.
