TBIAX. or sore, DAVIS posTroita-. A special diapatoh from Washington to the New Tork Daily News, dated May 25, aaya: There ia no more probability of the speedy trial of Jeff. Davis now than there was two or three months ago. Indeed, the opposition to having him tried in the civil courts is so great sometimes it aeoms that the whole projeot of hav ing him so tried will have to be abandoned. The Chief Justice, the Attorney General, and the Badioal leaders generally, are at the bottom of this oppoaiiion, which la found? d on the well known fact that a civil trial would result in the full acquittal of the prisoner. Every possible obstacle, tuereforo, has been put in the way of suoh a trial, and the Attorney Gen eral has now decido?) to postpone it until the next December term of the Court, rho Baiiioala freo ly express the most bloodthirsty vindiotiveuesB toward Mr. Davis, and do not hesitate to expro-a the desire that he should di?- in prison ra'h? rthan be tried and acquitted. The ?House Judiciary Committee are so filly as to continue their efforts to have Mr. Davis tried before a military tribunal as an active accomplice in the -eaassiuation of Mr. Lincoln, and tnoy autuoriz? d the statement to be made only yesterday that thoy bad full proof of his guilt. It is rep ?i-tt-d that Mr. Davis is to be released on parole, in accordance with the request of Mrs. Davis. It is the opinion of the iiik't.oat medical authority that a few weeks more confine ment would terminate his lito. SANTA ANNA. TO BE PBESEKTBO TO TUE FBESID1_T.

On motion of Mr. Morrill, it was resolved that the President be requested tocommunicate to the Senate the transactions of the Executive Govern ment under the several acts of Congro-is of April 10,1 62, May 12, 1862. and Job 17, 1862. for tho transportation, colonization and settlement of suoh persous of the African race aa are mentioned in those acts, respectively, and especially what colonization measures havo boen adopted, if any, and the number of persons colonized, with ex panses incurred. Ou motion of Mr. Wilson, the Joint resolution relativo to the appointment of cadets at Woat Point waa taken up, the' question being on the amendment of Mr. Nesmith, providing that the Superintendent of the academy may be aoleoted from any corps ??f the army.

Mr. Hooper, of M"s., from the Committee on Banks and Currency, reported a bill to aecure and regulato the deposits of public moneys. [It pro hibits tho deposit of public monoyn in tho national banka as depositarios, exoi-pt with tho approba tion of tho Seoretary or the Troasu* y. A violation of this is punishable.] Tho bill was recommitted. Mr. Schenck,of Ohio, o ?Hod up the bid roportod by the Military Committee to equalize tho boun ties of soldiers, sailors and mariuoi*. After a brief explanation, it waa paesed-yeas 189, naya 2.

No bounty ia to bo paid to any one who eerved as a substituto, or who waa a oaptured prisoner of war when ho enlisted, or who waa dieoharued booaueed ho waa a minor. [Five dollars ia the amount named to be allowed any claim agent under this Ao*.] The HoiiBo then proceeded to counirler in com mit tee or tho whole tho tax bill. The free list being under consider at ion, the following "Udos wcro added, and thereby declared exempt from taxation: Machines for -awing wood and shingles, and atovo balla; broome mado of corn; patent alum and sulphate of alum; boraio acid; nitrate of lead, caloiuod and carbonato of mnunosia; muri atio, nitric and acetio acid; sal soda; pot and pearl ?.?hen; red load; lubricating ?ii made of crudo pe troleum; tonic made of rhubarb aud currants; iron bridgea and iron castiuga lor bridges. Pending tho consideration of tho 23d section tho honr of 4.30 arrived, and tho Bouso took a recces. EVENING SESBION.-Tim lion HO, in commit tee of tho whole, ruanui ed the discussion of tho tax bill.

Various amendment? wi.?ro offeroA?, but nono of importance adopted, and that part of the bill romaine substantially aj repurted bv tho com mittee?. An amondmont was adoptad making conspiracy botween inspectors and distillera to de fraud the government punishable with fine and imprisonment. At teu P. M., after disposing of twenty pages of the bill, tho commit- roao and tbo House adjourned. Tho Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore Sun, uudor dato of the 25th inat., from Washing ton, apoaka as follows of tho present position of the Congressional reconstruction mensuro: The S*;nato is in danger of gol ting into an on tnnglemont upon the reconstruction measure. There is no prospoot that they can agree upon tho joint resolution as roported from tho committee of tirtt-ou This scheme is dead, as a perusal of Mr. Howard'- spi edi, introductory to it, well shows. The third soction must, at any rate, be stricken out, and the question in. what ahall be substituted for it? Probably it will be a provision that all men who, abovo the age of twenty-five, gave voluntary tupport to tho rebellion, t?hsll bu incapable or holding office, either under the Stato or Feder?! Govorumeut. Tho Bidicala will hard ly agroo tu support any moaauro that ahall not fnrce negro suffrage upon all the States, aud ahall als ) disfranchise tbo wholo inaau of ?Southern citi zens who participated in tho rebellion. But this extreme position has become untenable, and (tie Republican mijority know it, and are now bout upon such a compromise with the Sumner wing aa wdl enable them to aave their party at the fall oleetiona. If they can agreo upon nothing and adjourn, leaving tho field to the Proa?dent, they wnl bo divided, ?oof-d at, and ejected by tua peo ple at the fall oleotions. The Kepublioan Senators, under the circum stances, hold a CAUCUS this morning from ten till twelve o'clock, and then adjourned to meet again this afternoon. The regular session waa contin ued, therefore, ouly for the morning hour. The subject for consideration is the feasibility of giv ing snoh a shape to the constitutional amendment SB will secure its adoption by a two-thir J* vote of the Senate. Toe committee of fifteen has failed in both attempts to effect this object, nnd it has become necessary for tho Bepublioan Senators to reaolvo themselves into a sort of committee of the whole on the state of their party, which appears to be in a rapid declino. The correspondent of the New Tork 7\ibune from Washington, 25th inet., gives tho following information of cotton planting in Mississippi, and the visita of Commodore S_t_-s and Mrs. DAVIS : COTTON IN -dliSIBSrPJ- AUD MOUTH -_OLI??A. Gen. Tiiomaa, late Bureau Commissioner for the State of Mississippi, and now on Gen. Howard'a ?taff, reports that before tho war that State uaed to raiao about 1,000,000 balea of cotton, or nearly one-quarter the entire yield of the United t- tates. He thinks this year's crop will reach 600,000 balea. Ho a a j-s the best lauds along the banka of the Mississippi River are being cultivated by North ern men with adequate capital, who -tua enjoy epeoial facilities for securing labor and supplies over the old planters who occupy the lands of the interior. Tbe flooding of the river banka, he thinks, will not injnro the cotton crop ; but. if it should, replanting may be continued up to the middle of June with assurance of a good orop. CoL Bryon Laflin of New York, who has a cotton plantation in North Carolina, gives a vory flatter ing account of the prospectivo yield in that State. MllH. DAVIS AND HIIMWES. Mrs. Jeff. Davis has been at the White House, holding an interview with the President. Semines ia in town, and had au interview with tho Presi dent, to-day, in reference to his pardon. Mrs. Jeff. Davis has received many callers to day from those who were desirous of doing her honor and of showing her sympathy. Upon con sultation with her friends, she has concluded not to ask for her nushand'a parole, but merely the range of the fort for the present. She also de sires the removal of Gen. Miles, of whom BIIO complaina aa not respecting tho person and feel ings of her husband. . , ... The Amador (Cal.) ledger tells the subjoined: "A abort timo ago a widow lady, residing in a vil lago not a thousand milos from here, put hor house up at a r-.fll(i, and very aoon disposed of the tickets all feeling dispoaod to assist her. The evening arrived for the raille to come off, and tho house was won by a geutloman who thought himself fortunate in obtaining a homestead so choap. Tho next day ho applied for posaeaaion and a title to the property. What was bia surprise when ho waa coolly informed that it was unnecessary to give any written title to tho house-that thero it was, and to take it ; and the sooner tho better, as she wau anxious to build another on the spot where it stood. The winner discovered that he had drawn an elephant-he had a house, but no lot." mt ? ? . ANNA COBA BITOHIB, in a letter from London, aavs: "The fadod beauties who cling to their vanished oharms have taken great interest in the sudden lejuvenation of Miss BU&DBTT COUTTS, under the hands of the wonderful 'Restorer' Madame RACHEL. MisB COUTTS, it is said, had to pay ?400 before she commenced tho baths with which tbo process of rejuvenation begins. After going through the regular course of treatment, Miss Courra dawned upon the faahlonable world with the -layers of some twenty birthday a' rolled off from her person. Her hair not dyed, but re stored, and growing anew; her defective complex ion olear and soft-tbe linos wbioh tell such tales of tho workings of the human heart and human brain smoothed out, and the impress of time sud denly effaced from her general appearance." .? ... The tide of emigration wost?vard-alroady largo -promises to exoeod that of any previous year. Thousands, Bays a Chicago letter, are coming into tho Mississippi Valloy. Largo numbers aro cross ing tho plains, of whom the bulk aro bound to Colorado, Montana and Idaho. The prospect of a comparativo early completion of tho Pacific rail road induces many to await that event before jour neying to the Territorios beyond, or to the Paoifio States. Canada is contributing quito largely to this tide of emigration, while the Eastern States aro doing their share. All the towns in tho West are full and overflowing, and reports come to us from all quarters that there is a presting demand for dwellings, but a very inadequate supply. -. ? ? Tn?

ALFRED PELOT (colored), for tho murder of Elizabeth Williams. Gen. JOHN L. GABDNEB is the ProBidont of this Commission; Lieut. Col. A. J. WILLAM), Judge Advocato; It. W. SEYMOOB, Esq., Counsel for tho accused. Trial commenced Saturday, May 5. David Burko, colored, a witnoss f >r the prosocu tion, being sworn, testified : That ho is 22 yoars of ago; resides at No. 4 Atlantic-Street; has known (ho accused over since ho was in 55th Massachu setts Regiment; did not know Elizabeth Williams, hut had seen hor about tho streets; that sho had died between two ami three weeks ago, iu State street, Charleston, S. O. She was lying down in a house in Stato-streot, where there waa a dunce; sho waa shoved by tho orowd and foil down; saw the accused slap ?hor; after that witness carno down staii H, and knows nothing further about the matter. Tho slap was "back handed;" she got right up ?Kain, and cunio down tho steps and sat in the yard; did not see tho accused strike her or slap her after sho was down. Cross-examined : Had seen the doceasedon that day, previous to tho tluio whou he saw her on tho floor; she was drunk; she used abusive languago te tho accused; kuows of no previous difficulty be tween the accused and deceased; bad alwayscon eidcred the accused a poacoablo man. Jack Williams, colored, a witnoss for tho proso cntion, sworn, stated that ho dooa not know ex actly whore he livea, hut ho used to live in Churoh streot, now stays on "Neck;" the deceasodwas his wife. Was not present when oho received the in juries that roaulted in her death. Went over to where she waa in State street about 9 P. M. Sho waa lying down; "I called her, and she answered. I then laid down alongside of her, and found the pillow wet; abo told me to got a light; I did ao, .nd found her right oyo swollen and completely ?but up. Ul'i'iil cuno from tho right side of hor mouth; the lip waa out. She said that ahe bad heeu kick? d nu the hoad, on the sido, and on the hip. she di d between 1 and So'clook on Tuesday morning after receivin??- tbeso iojurios." Cross-examined: The maik? were on tho left ?Mo of the face; a mun wa? pre?ont when she re lated thu circumstances Juot mentioned. He lives in the h ?use; does not kuow hi*, name. Dr. Henry Frost, wit no fa for the proe edition, sworn, stated that hu first aaw tho deceased at 7S A. M., on the 113th of April, at au eating house ou State street. She was hiving convulsions when he ?aw her; remained with her till 9 o'clock A. M Sho h.nl more thau a dozen convulsions during that tim? : saw ber 2 or 3 times after that; tho last time at 8 P. M that night; she was thou comatose. She died soon after; declined to give a certificate of death, and told some one to go for the Coroner; made a post-mortem examination at the request of the Coroner, assisted by Dr. Par ker; found considerable effusion of blood on slit ting the dura mater, and a large olot on the side of the anterior lobe of the right hemisphere of the brain. Examined the base of the skull, and found a fracture in the body of the epheroid bono; thinks that tho pressure of the clot on the brain waa the immediate causo of death. Dr. B. Logan, aworn, stated ho had examinod the body of this deoeaaed in April Iaet, with Dr. Frost; found a severe contuaiou in and around the right eye, of a character to indicate that it had been dono by some blunt instrument. In proceeding to expose the brain, found au exten sivo extravaaation between the brain and ita mem branes over the baso and ascending portion of the middle lobe of the right h?misph?re; and, on de nuding the bone surface of the membrane, found a Assure extendiug through a portion of the sphenoid bone, commencing just behind tho roof of the orbit, and extending inwards and back-1 wards about au Anchi There w?i also some laceration of brain substance ou the under sur face of the middle lobe of the brain; membranea not torn over position of fissure; but an evident rapture of blood vesaela had nevertheless occur red, producing the extravasation alluded to, and ultimately causing the death of the patient by convulsiona and com pression of the nor vea spring ing from the baee of the brain. - The cause of her death waa of a two-fold na ture, both springing from the aame mechanical injury, viz. : Compression on the vital nerves at the base of the brain, and the irritation and in flammation of the surface of the brain, corres ponding to the extravaaation. The mechanical arrangement of the parta is such aa to warrant the conclusion that tho in ternal leeiona arose from those external injuries observed by the eye, Such a fraoture may sometimes be produced without any appearance of external injuries. A fracture at the base of the brain might occur from a blow inflicted upon any other portion of the brain, without exhibiting any external evidence of injury at the locality upon whioh the blow im pinged, especially if the force be applied not at a limited point, but over a surface of sumo extout. A person falling from an upright position might receive such a fracture, especially if the system is in a relaxed condition, as in a state of drunken ness; if no off ?rt is made at recovery, i-.nd if the impetus of the weight of the body Is further in creased by a b ow or push. Cr its-Examined : Never knew of a slap in the face, from a man's ?.?peu hand, producing death. [Many other witnesses were examined, both on the part of the proseoution and in behalf of the acousod, but the facts elicited by their ovidenco are not materially different from those alr-ndy given To save space, therefore, we omit their testimony.] II. P. BLIGH, a oitixen of Charleston, waa charg ed with purchasing, for one dollar, a new uniform overcoat from a soldier, Eza. A. GREEN, CO. A, 64th Regiment N. Y. V. The aale of the overcoat to the aoouaed waa proven by the aaid E. A. GnEKtt. The defence offered provea that the coat waa offered to Mr. BLIGH, who refus ed to purchaso it ; thsj a city polioemao, by tho name of MIOHAEL DUFFY, who waa in the store at,the time, followed the soldier, and bought the coat of bim for three dollars. DUFFY was the principal witnoss for the defeuoe, and his testi mony was corroborated by Mr. BOBEE (io the employment of Mr. Biaiou), who waa present at the time. B. W.

Offered no witness but tho wife of the aoouaed, who was .withdrawn upon being ob jected to. Counael for the accused contended that inas much a?) thero waa D9 ?.roof of an intent to aid or abot desertion, that a conviction could not tako place uuder the Aot of Congress, Seotioa 24, Act or March 3, 1803. IT. OA8PAB HART, white, No. 88 King str"t; charged with purchasing of a soldier a pair of panta for a dollar, and a pair of ahoea for aoventy flvo cents. EZIIA A. GBBHH proved the tale of the goods. Tho aoouaed ffored no dofence, but do niod knowing the accused or ever having seen bim, until he waa notified to appear in this case. The Military Commission found Alfred Polot " not guilty.?' BLIGH, not " guilty." OABPAB HABT fouud " guilty" of the Charge, ex cept the words " with intent to aid and ?bet do ser don." Boa ton co, to pay a Quo ol' fifty dollars, and to bo oonflned for the period of six mouths .. ok-ua yls?a ??? tu? ?-ruminai,ding General may dir sot, IainoBE LEWIS, found guilty. Sentence similar to that of OABI'AB HABT. Wo mako tho following extract from tho General Order (No. 44), of donor al D EVENS, revising tho action of thia Commission: V. The proceeding? and finding? in the caeos of Isidoro Lewis and Caspar Hart (citizous) aro ap proved. The evidence in ,hose ?.asea shows t. at the witness Creen, having h-d certain Government clothing turned over to him, temp rarily, for tho special purpose of ?jelling it to parties in Charles t n, sold portions of aaid clothing to different persons, and thereupon informed upon those to whom ho bad sold it. Tho law of March 3d, 1863, makes tho purehaso of soldiers' olotbing, for tho purpose of aiding and abetting desertion, a pun ishable offonce, and the purohaee of tho clothing ia prima facie evidence of such intent; bnt when tho intent is disproved the penalty should not bo enforced, as tim law ia not violatod. The Com mission find that thero waa no intent to aid de sertion, and therefore should have acquitted the prisoners. Tho sentences are, therefore, disap proved. VI. Tho means employed in these cases to pro curo evidonco against theae parties, were not such as, in the opinion of tho commanding General, woro justified by tho oircumatances. Had tho au thorities furnishing the clothing had strong moral grounds of suspioion against the prisoners, then it would have been proper to accumulate proof in this way, and "couvert anapected into positive Suilt." But to givo a roving commission to a Hol ier to sell Govommeut olotbiug to any one who will buy it, for the pnrpuse and with tho bone of arresting and convicting somebody, waa both im proper and unjustifiable.

The following interesting letter, nearly one hundred years old, has been kindly placed in onr hands. It waa written by BOOER PTNOKNBY, and addressed to uis mother. It has never before boen published : "Hon'd Madame :-As I am confident you must have borne a part of the uneasiness caused by tho late differences between Great Britain and hor Colonies, so I am' likewise confident you re joice with your aou in the repeal of that most in famous act destructive to the liberty and righta of every froe-born Englishman. Happy for America she haa such powerful friends at homo; happjer for England she has mon in power that know the value of the Colonies. We, the Colonists (for while I am here I call myself one), return, I believe, our gene ral thanks to that worthy member of sooiety, Mr. GEO. GRENVILLE, who has taken s?much pains to traduce us and call us rebels. I wish his heart was half as firmly attached to his King and the honor of his country as the generality of the Americans aro. I look on him as a JANUS, as a double minded Y-n, who, through an over care to preserve the honor and dignity, as he oalls it, of the K-g and Par-t, has, I am afraid, a deep laid scheme at the bottom. And I dare say a cer tain Scotch Lord is his chief director in the mat ter. Pray God hu may ever be frustrated in every ef his damned sohemes- And as we detest the namea of GUEN VILLE and BOTE, SO we glory in the name of P. J. T. T. We believe him (and I believe justly) a friend to America, a friend to every true friend and loyal subject of bis King, and as such I ven ture to Hay he thinks us, or he would not have espouBod our cause. His heart is too good to be biased by prejudice or gained by corruption. England is happy hi so great a patriot. He has not only espoused the cauoo of Amerioa in this affair; he has asserted for all free-born subjects Uberty, wbioh I hope, while I live in the world, will always be inviolably supported. "South Carolina, sensible of the services Mr. PITT has rendorod them, have voted a statue to be erocted hore of the finest marble, that posteri ty may look upon the man they are under so great obligations to. Had I beeu a member of the House, and it had been consistent, I would have voted it iu gold. a ***** * "Your ever dutiful and affectionate son, "BOG. PINOKNEY. "Charles Town, May 15, 1766." CIVIL BIGHTS IN BAI.IIMORE.-Negroos from all parts soom to bo selecting Baltimore as a theatre for the triul of the virtues of the civil rights bill. The other day we published an account of two ne gro school marms from Pennsylvania having a railroad oflicor arrested for ejeoting them from the depot parlor, and now we have to rec >rd the exploits of a negro named Bradley, who calls himself a "lawyer from Boston." This fellow i ,.ng been refused admission into a car on the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, enpeoially set apart for ladies and gentlemen, im* tituted suit against tho Railroad Company, and claiming damages to the amount of ono hundred dol?an*. Tuo oase was heard on Tuesday by a justloe, who gave judgment in favor of tho Railroad Company. On the same day tbo same negro appeared be fore the United States District Court to obtain an injunction ?gainst tbo city passenger railway as a nulaance. The Baltimore Sun gives the following acoount of thia appearanco : Aaron Bradley, colored, claiming to be a mem ber of tbo legal profession, admitted to the Suf folk bar ot Boston, appeared as a citizen of the United States, under tbe civil rights bill, beforo the comt, with a petition for an injiinotiun to restrain tho City Passenger Railway Company from passing through Lexington-street by the Douglass Instituto, for failing to comply with tbo terms of their charter, &c.
