T uiai. of J eff D avis .—It is
again announced as a settled fact that
Jeff Davis is to bo tried by civil court
for treason, and tried soon. Certainly
it is best that he should be tried by
civil court if tried at ail, but we think
that under ail the circumstances it
would be much letter that he should
not be tried i<t ail thau by civil court.
I'rt sidont Johnson is reported as say
ing in regard to the case that ho wish
es to have it settled judicially what i»
treason and what isn't It is very natu*
utl and proper that ho should wish
this, but to our tninds it is perfectly
obvious, that, whatever the merits or
demerits of Jeff Davis's case may be,
there can not be the slightest cbanoe
of a decision against him. When wt
consider how entirely every commun!»
ty is divided in opinion as to him and
Iiis course of conduct and tho nature
of the acts with which he is charged,
wo do not. soe how any man can for %
moment doubt the utter impossibility
of obtaining a jury of twelve men in the
common and established mode of ob
taining juries, some individual of
which and even several who will not
refuse to unite in a verdict of treason
against him. We say again and again
that! hit conviction upon that oharge
by it jury got up in the ordinary way
is a tiling wholly out of the question,
ftnd we be pay add, that 'if any ex
traordinary way ba restored to and a
conviction thus brought about, such
a conviction Can do no conceivable
trood but must, on the contrary, be
deplorable in its iniluonoes upon tbe
public mind andheart verywhere
North and South and over the ocean.
We do not sue that there is the least
occasion or even room foi argument
upon the subject.
li the authorities at Washington
with the question settled what is and
what is not treason, they surely err
greatly in making the conviction or
non conviction of .Jeff Davis by a civil
court tho test, unless they desire to
have itdccided and established that the
leading of a rebellion against tho
Union is not treason. The inevita
ble non conviction would give a great
and permanent vantage ground to the'
votaries of secession and rebellion. Il
would be sounded as their triumph
throughout tho civilized would. The
true policy then, the undoubted pol
icy, for President Johnson to pursue,
is to pardon the rebel ex-President
unlets he is to be tried upon some
utiier charge or charges than that of
treason—aud to let the the treason
question "slide." Iiis pardon would
create a general feeling of satisfaction
and harmony throughout the North,
a universal feeling of that kind
through out the South, and a sincere
gratification and admiration through
out Europe, where as, Mr. Davis's
trial for treason would cause exaspera
tion in millions of minds, and result
in tho utter defeat of tho Federal Gof-'
eminent aud the triumph of its en
emies everywhe e.
Il these truths are not clearly evi
dent to the coOtroling minds at Wash
ington, we earnestly trust that they
will become so in time to prevent in
judicious and mischievous action.
That President Johnson would pardon
Jeff Davis if convicted of treason or
at least com mute tho death-penalty to
some milder form of punishment, we
■re not permitted to doubt, but, as wa
have said, .Jeff Davis cannot be con
victed of treason by any jury that can
bo made up in the nation, and tb«
consequence of an attempt to convict
him would be evil, all evil, only evil. f
Louisville Journal.
R kmudy Kort K icking C ows.—
Cows, s.'ty n contemporary, seldom
kick without some good reason for it
Teats are sometimes chapped or the
udder tender ; harsh handling hurts
them, and they kick. Sometimes
long nnd sharp firignr nails cut their
teats and sometimes the milker pulls
the long hairs on the udder while
milking. Shear off the long hairs,
cut long finger nails close, bathe
chapped teats with warm water and
grease thern well with lard, and al
ways treat a cow gently. She will
never kick unless something hurts
her, or she fears a repetition of for
mer hurts. When handled gently,
cows like to be milked. When treat
ed otherwise, they will kick and hold
up their milk. It is quite as consis
tent to whip a sick child to stop its
crying as to whip or kick a cow to
prevent bur kicking while being
milked,
