THKTBIAI. OF EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS—
AKRIVAI. OF A PORTION
COUNSEL.—When the United States Court
(Underwood's) adjourned at Norfolk, in
the early part of May, after the indictment
of Ex-President Davis for treaon, there
was a conditional understanding that it
would he removed to this city and would
res ane its session to-day, and that the
ease of the Ex-President would come np
for a hearing. Intimations, however,
have been from time to time thrown out
that the Chief Justice, whose duty it
would be to preside at the trial, was not
willing to have it come on at this time.—
lie has not reached here, nor do we know
that he is expected. Mr. Davis has not
been brought here nor have we any rea-son
to suppose that he is to be brought at
present. This, of course, is as the prose-cution
may choose, but his counsel are de-termined
not to give the government the
advantage of any default on their part, and
so a portion of "them arrived here yester-day—
prepared, we doubt not, to urge in
behalf of their distinguished and long-suffering
client the right that appertains
to the humblest man, to have an enquiry
into the grounds of his imprisonment or a
discharge from custody. Those who have
arrived are Messrs. .T. T. Brady, the elo-quent
advocate of New York; William
B. Reed, an able jurist and staunch and
sterling patriot of Philadelphia; and
George W. Brown, late Mayor of Balti-more,
and a leading member of the bar of
that city. Mr. (/Conor, the senior coun-sel,
and Mr. Shea, both of New York, are
expected to-day. Mr. Pngh, of Ohio, is
also mentioned as of counsel for the ac-cused,
but we are not apprised as to
whether lie is expected.
A telegram from New York, received
by us Saturday, says that Mr. O'Conor
comes to demand of the court the trial or
release on bail of Mr. Davis.
A telegram from Washington, publish-ed
in New York, says :
It is stated that Mr. O'Conor will be in
Richmond on Monday to appear in the
trial of .left". Davis. It is not expected that
the trial v.ill come on, but O'Conor is to
appear for the purpose of claiming his
right to bail if he is not tried, and to be
set at large under this bail. A similar
statement is current in Johnsonian circles.
Another Washington telegram, dated
last Friday, say.- •
Judge Underwood left here last night
for Norfolk to arrange for the transfer of
his Court to Richmond, as directed by
Congress.
P. S.—Since the foregoing was written,
we have ascertained that tile distinguish-ed
counsel for Mr. Davis, whose arrival
we have mentioned, are here under the
extraordinary circumstances, for the first
time in their lives, of being entirely ignor-ant,
but not through their fault, of the
whereabouts of the court, its judge, or
any one of its officers, or whether there
will be a court at all or not. In common
law practice it is the custom to notify
counsel for the accused that their cliant
will be put upon trial, and when and where.
We presume, therefore, that under these
circumstances, a proper watchfulness for
the interest of Mr. Davis has brought the
eminent gentlemen here.—Rich. Whig.
cise a wholesome restraint upon licentious
oF MB DAVIS' ^tongues ana" pens, and upon the press, which, as
a blind leader of the blsnd, has been, and still is,
one of the chief causes of past, present and pros-pective
calamity and misfortune.
The murders, lusts, assassinations, violent and
unifoverned passions, endi.ig in self conflagra-tion-
and self-immolation unparallellcd in any
heathen country; the poverty, suffering, agony
and degradation which have given this citv, of
all almost unequalled natural capabilities, it* bad
eininei; e are the legitimate fruits of the teach-ings
of its public press; And anything you can
be able to contribute to its reformation will, in
the highest degree, be serviceable to the cause of
t!.e country and of humanity : but, gentlemen,
Ictus act with moderation and discrimination;
for, though a prostituted press is one of the
greatest calamities, a free and virtuous press is
one of the greatest public blessing*—the greatest
ornament and support of public virtue.
The jury then retired in charge of Elliott,
when, as we find reported in The
Whig,
William B. Reed, ot Philadelphia, one
of the counsel for Mr. Davis, addressed
the Court as follows :
May it please your Honor, I beg leave to
present myself, in conjunction with my
colleagues, as the counsel of Jefferson
Davis, now- a prisoner of State at For-tress
Monroe, and under indictment for
high treason in your Honor's Court. We
find in the records of your Honor's court,
an indictment charging Mr. Davis with
this high offence, and it has seemed to us
due to the cause of justice, due the feeling
of one sort or another, which may be de-scribed
as chrystalizing around the unfor-tunate
man, that we should come at the
very earliest day to this tribunal, and ask
your Honor, or more properly the gentle-man
who represents the United States,
the simple question—What is proposed to
be done with this indictment ? Is it to be
tried ? Is it

LATBB—THE COURT IX SKS.SIOX.
The United States Circuit Court of the
District of Virginia, which after the in-dictment
of Ex-President Jefferson Davis,
of the late Confederate Suites, at Norfolk,
adjourned to meet in Richmond, com-menced
its regular session at the court
room in the Custom House of that city
on Tuesday last.
The Grand Jury received from His
linn >r the following charge :
GENTLEMEN OF THE JUST.—I am happy to
meet you again, and t.> know that you still live,
notwithstanding the assaults that have been
made upon you. Little needs in be said in addi-tion
to the instruction given at Norfolk. Your
i:i -: -i-sion iiun made you historical, and I trust
the efforts which have been made to intimidate
you and to impede the course ofjustice will not
render you less faithful and earnest in the dis-chargeof
y< <ax public duties. We ought not to
be surprised that the treasonable and licentious
press of this State and city should wince and
rage and become furious when treason and licen-tiousness
are exposed and arraigned for trial and
punishment: nor should we be surprised at the
enormity and despera+ionexhibited when we re-member
that this city has long been the centre
and -cat ofthe greatest traffic in hitman beings
that has ever disgraced the world—a traffic
which bat annually employed many hundreds
of moral monsters and many millions ofcapital,
fubriaiSIng il.. ,...— .. ,...lr:'. _~ 1 r..i:.:_-■ .'.i
State, rendering Richmond more infamous
among men for its participation in this great
crime than all of the cities along the coast ofSen-egambia,
Upper and Lower Guinea. Congo,
Loango, Angola and IJengtfla combined. The
wonder is that so many traces of kindness and
humanity and Christian civilization should have
survive* such debasing and brutalizing influen-ces
; and let us thmk God and take courage that,
more fortunate than the devoted cities ofantiqui-ty,
we can count more than ten men who have
stood "faithful among the faithless.
The complaints of thn at' u< d violence and in-
■ iti :., whii h have been forward' d tome by
, i ral of v. ur number, for your late hero;, an I
patriotic action, have been submitted to the
highest legal and military authorities ofthe
Government, and I canassurej ou of the earnest
symi athv and firm support of all the offia t i I
the law, notexcepti i ; the Presidi nt, whom the
treasi : able nownatter ai dfawn upon, but whom
they will probably soon curse as heartily as they
did two years ago.
But, gentlemen, 1 am glad to call your atten-tion
to a law of Congress whi h puts your own
vindication,-a» well as that ofthe country, into
your own hands. In is::; Congress enacted, as
you will find on page 188 of the 4th volume of
the statutes at large, as follows:
"Sac. 2. And be it further enacted that if
any person or persons shall, corruptly or by
threats or force, endeavor to influence, intimi-date
or impede any juror, witness or officer, in
any Court ofthe United States, in the discharge
ofhis duty: or shall, corruptly or by threat? or
force, obstruct, or impede, or endeavor to ob-struct
or impede the due administration of jus-tice
therein, every person or | ersons - iff! i
shall be liable to prosecution by indictment,
and shall, on conviction therefor, be punished
by line not exceeding $o00, or by imprisonment
not exceeding three months, or both, according
to the nature and aggravation of the oriccce.—
Approved March 2,1861."
You will thus have it-in your power to awr-and
this is a question which
perhaps, I have no right to ask—to be
withdrawn P Or is it to be suspended ?
If it is to be tried, may it please your hon-or,
speaking for my colleagues and for
myself and for the absent cliant, I say
with emphasis, and with earnestness, that
we come here prepared instantly to try that
cause; and we shall ask no delay at your
honor's hands further than is necessary to
bring the prisoner to face the court, and
to enable him, under the statute in such
case made and provided, to examine the
bill of indictment against him. Is it to
be withdrawn? If so, justice and hu-manity
seem to us to prompt that we
should know it. Is it to be suspended—■
postponed ? If so, may it please the court
with all respect to your honor and the
gentleman who conducts the public busi-ness
here, your honor must understand us
as entering our roost ommmii pmntaa*
We ask a speedy trial on any charge
that may be brought against Mr. Davis,
here or in any other civil tribunal in the
land. We may be now here representing,
may it please the Court, a dying man —
For thirteen months he has been in prison.
The Constitution of the United States
guarantees to him not only impartial trial
(which, I am sure, he will have) " but a
speedy trial;" and we have come no
slight distance; we have come with all
respect to your honor ; we have come with
strong sympathies with our cliant, profes-sional
and personal; we have come here
simply to ask that question—I address it
to the District Attorney, or to your Honor,
shall meet at the time fixed by the Legis-lature,
and form a State constitution,
which shall be submitted to a vote of the
people, and, if ratified by a majority ofthe
loyal voters, shall be declared the Consti-tution
of the State.
SEC. 4. The persons who shall be enti-tled
to vote at both of said elections shall
be as follows: All male citizens above the
age of twenty-one years, who have resided
one year in said State, or ten days within
the election district.
SE O. The word u•citizens" as used it:
this act shall be construed to mean all
persons, except Indians not taxed, born in
the United States of .duly naturalized.—
Any male citizen above the age of twenty-one
years shall be competent to be elected
to act as a delegate tcftvnid Convention.
Sac. C. All persons who held office,
either civil or military, under the Govern
eminent of the so-called Confederate
States of America, or who swore allegance
to said Government, are hereby declared
to have forfeited their citizenship, and to
renounced all allegiance to the United
States, and shall not be entitled to exer-cise
the elective franchise until five years
after they have filed their intentions or
desire to be re-invested with the right of
citizenship, and shall swear allegiance to
the United States and renounce allegiance
to all other governments or pretended
governments, the said application to be
filed and oath taken in the same courts
that by Jaw are authorized to naturalise
foreigners.
SEC. 7. Xo constitution shall be presen-ted
to or acted on by Congress, which de-nies
to any citizen any rights, privileges or
immunities which are granted to any oth- a conservative paper at Buchannon, "for
er citizens in the State. All laws shall be printing, posting and circulating a bill an-impartial,
without regard to race or form-1 nouncing a meeting of the friends of Pres-which,
even if needed ought to be made
in our own shops, the country might
perhaps be somewhat more prosperous.—
There is certainly no necessity for such
expenditure, especially <ncayfrom home.
It is a reproach to our own mechanics,
and is the main cause which retards the
mechanic arts in the South. The labor
and skill of the Southern artisan are not
properly valued and appreciated by his
own people, and consequently he has noth-ing
to stimulate him to exertion. We are
pleased to observe that the N. C. Central
Itoad, under the management of Capt. E.
Wilkes, relies solely upon its own shops
for all the rolling stock of the road. This
is proper. We have the mechanical tal-ent
and genius in the South to accomplish
any thing, and it is the duty of those in
whose power it lies to foster and encour-age
it. As neat work as we ever saw
imj)orted from the North is dcily turned
off at " The Shops" ; and the most hand-somely
painted locomotive we ever saw
any where, (the Gov. Morehead) was pain-ted

war, when he labored under the disadvan-tage
of a want of colors and materials.

The Radical leader whose des-potic
influence over Congress has been felt
dining the six months it has been in ses-sion,
nronosos to draw ■< axtaaaa nvor all
that Congress has yet done, and commence
with a clean slate. He introduced the fol-lowing
bill, which was read twice and re-ferred
to the Committee of the Whole:
WheretUfThe eleven Slates which late-ly
formed the government uf the so-called
Confederate States of America have for-feited
all their rights under the Constitu-tion,

Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That the
eleven States lately in rebellion may form

yet they are hereby acknowledged as valid
governments lor municipal purposes, until
the same shall be duly altered, and their
legislative and executive* officers shall be
treated as such.
SEC. S. Whenever the Legislatures of

FINK CABS.—A g^eat many passenger
coaches have been received at this place
within the past few weeks, having been
brough t from New Y>rk and Philadelphia,
and perhaps other establishments at the
North, destined for tome of the roads in
this State. We nuticed four of these
coaches last Monday, which were built for
the Wilmington and Manchester road.—
This road not long sii ee received two or
three " sleeping-cars." We are pleased
to note these evidences of prosperity;
though we half-way agree with an old
gentleman who remarked in our presence
the other day, (and we know he felt «nd
realized every word he uttered) that if
these corporations would distribute among
ihe stockholders in the roads the surplus
cash which is constantly going to North
em factories for cars aud other lixtur
i,.l!;W'Mr-.,J.,,xt?11'. a petition of Henry
be settled on a farm.
We find the above in the Convention
proceedings of Wednesday. We do not
know who " Henry fagold" is, but from
our knowledge of the name generally, we
think lie evinces a taste not shared by
the majority of his namesakes.
THK FKMANS.—It would seem that the
long-threatened invasion of Canada by the
Fenians has begun. On the morning of
June 1st a body of Fenian troops crossed
from Buffalo, N. Y. at the head ofNiagara
river, into Canada. Some fighting be-tween
them and English troop-, has been
announced, though the intelligence is
somewhat conflicting.
One dispatch states that on his arrival
at Fort Erie, the American Consul was
shot at and grossly insulted by the British
while in the house with his flag unfurled.
He has demanded an apology. [Repara-tion
