TRIAL or mr. "?ATM rosrroirjm.
A aped al dispatch from Washington to the New.
YoTi ZtatVy Neun, dated May 25, says:
There is no mors probability of thf> eposdy
trial of Jeff. Davis now than there was two or
three months ago. Indeed, the opposition to
having him tried io tho civil courts is so great
some tunos lt seems that the whole protect
mg bim so tried will have to beAbandvnOL
Chief Justice, the Attorney Gener?, and the
Badioid loaders generally, are at the' botiom of
thttoyposlfioD, which V founded on the we'l
known fact thst h civil trial would result in the |
full aoqai t tai of th a prison er.
Every possible obstacle, therefore, has beenjpnt
in the way of such ? trial, and the Attorney Gen?
eral h&a now decided to postpone it until the next
December tem or the Court. The Badicals free?
ly express the most bl?odthirsty vindioti
toward-Mr. Davis, ?nd do not hesitate to exp?: s
tho desire thatheshopJddie in prieoo rather than
be tried and ajquivu^aTho Bouse Judiciary
Oommittee are so nilly as to continue their efforts
to have Mr. Davis tried before a military tribunal
aa an active accomplie* in the .esasaioatioa of Mr.
lincoln, and tney sutbtrtat-d the statement to be
made only yesterday that they had full proof of
bis guilt. It is rep >rted that Mr. Davis is to be
released on parole, In aooordauoe with the request
of Mrs. Davis. It is the opinion of the bigtieat
medical authority that a few woe ks more confine?
ment would terminate his life.

relative to the appointment or cadets at Weet
Point was taken up, the question being on the
amendment nf Mr. Nesmith, providing that the
superintendent of the academy may be seleoted
from any corps nf the army.
The yeas and nays being ordered, the amend?
ment w-se disagreed to by a vote of 19 to 18.
The joint resolution was then passed.
On motion of Mr. Henderson, the Senate then
adjourned.
HOUSE OF BEPRJtaXNTATTVEfl.
Mr. Per ham, of Maine, reported back House
bill to amend the pension laws, and recommended
noh-oonourrenoe io the Senate amendments, and
asked a committee of conference on the same,
which wa? agreed to.
Tue House th< n resumed the consideration of
the bill to incorporate the District of Columbia
Sewerage and Ganai Company.
Mr. lugereoli, of UL, moved to amend the bill
hy adding the following corporators : George L.
Bester and B. F. Page, or Washington; Charles
H. Sherrill and Amos C. Babcock, of Illinois. The

it went over until to-morrow.
Mr. Hooper, of MASH., from the Committee on
Banks and Currency, reported a bill to secure and
regulate the deposits of public moneys. [It pro?
hibits the deposit o' public moneys in the national

tion of tbo Secretary of tho Troasuty. A violation
of this is punishable.] Tho bill waa recommitted.
Mr. S chen ck, ot'Ohio, called up the bid reported

ties of soldiers, sailors and murines. After a brief
explanation, it was pa. id-yeas 139, nays 2. [The
bill as passed provides that in lien of any grant
or laud or other bounty, there shall be paid to
every soldier, sailor or marine th? aum of $&} per
month (or at the rate or one hu > J red dollars per
vetr), who shall have served between April 12,

certaining the bounty, there shall be deduoted
therefrom any and all bountied already paid, or
payable under existing lawa, by the United States
or anv State, oity, county or town, or by any vol?
untary association. No bounty is to be paid to1

EVKVINO SESSION.-The House, in committee of

tilleries, a long discussion ensued respecting the
manner ot compensating inspectors of distille?
ries. ' Variom amendments were offered, bot
nobe of Importance adopted, and that part of the
bill remains substantially a? reported by the com?
mittee., An amendment wau adopted making
conspiracy between inspectors and distillers to de?
fraud the government punishable with fine and
imprisonment. At ten P.M., after. disposing of
twenty pagea. of the bill, the oommitte rose and
the House adjourned.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Am,.Under date of the 25th inst., from Washing?
ton, speaks as follows of the present position of
the 'Congressional reconstruction measure:
The Senate is in danger of getting into an en?
tanglement upon the reconstruction measure.
There is no prospect that the; can agree upon the
Joint resolution; ss reported from tue committee
of fifteen.. Thia Boheme is dead, as a perusal of
Mr. Howard's sp.^ch, introductory to it, well
shows. The' third section must, at any rate, be
stricken'out, sud the question ia. what shall be
substituted for it? Probably, it will be a provision ,
that all men who, above the age of twenty-five, '
(;ave voluntary support to the rebellion^- shall ba
noapable ot holding office, either undernhe State
or Federal Government. The Radicals will hard?
ly agree to support any measure that shall not
force negro suffrage upon all the States, and shall
also disfranchise the whole mass of Southern citi?
zens Who participated in the rebellion. Bnt this ?
extreme position has become untenable, and the ?
Republican majority know it, and are now bent
upon such a compromise with the Sumner wing .
ss will enable them to save their party at the fail
elections. If they can agree upon nothing and
adjourn, leaving the field to the President, they!
will be divided, scoffed at, and ejected by the peo- I
pie at the fall elections. j
The Republican Senators, under the circum?
stances, held a caucus this morning from ten till .
twelve o'clock, and then adjourned to meet again
this afternoon. The regular session was contin?
ued, therefore, only for the morning hour. The
subject for consideration is the feasibility of giv- :
mg such a shape to the constitutional amendment
as .will secure its adoption by a two-th ir is vote, ot
the de nate. Tue committee of fifteen hie failed
in both attempts to effect this object, and it has !
become necessary for the BepuhHcau Senators to
resolve themselves into a sort of committee of the
whole on the stato of their party, which appears
to bo ia a rapid deonne.

dent, to-day. in reference to bis pardon.
Mrs. Jeni 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, shebas conolnded not
to ask for ber Husband's parole, but merely the
range of the fort for the present. She also de?
sires the removal of Gen. Miles, of whom she
complains as not respecting the person and feel?
ings of her husband. . , .. ^a
The Amador (Cal.) Ledger tells the subjoined :
" A short time ago a widow lady, residing m a vil?
lage not a thousand miles from here, put her house
up at .? riffle, ard very soon disposed of the tickets
all feeling disposed to assist her. The evening
arrived for the raff] s to come eff, and the house
waa-won by a gentleman who thought himself
fortunate in obtaining a homestead so cheap.
The next day he applied for possession and a title
to the property. What was his surprise when he
was coolly informed that it waa unnecessary to
give any written title to the house-that there it
was, and to take it ; and the sooner the better, as
she was 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." *___
ANNA COBA BITCHIX, in a letter from London,
says: "The faded beauties who cling to their
vanished channa have taken great interest in the
sudden jejuvenation of Miss BURDETT COUTTS,
under the hands of the wonderful 'Restorer'
Madame BA< KEL, Miss COUTTS, it is said, bad to
pay ?400 before she commenced the baths with
which the process of rejuvenation begins. After
going through the regular course of treatment,
Miss COUTTS dawned upon the fashionable world
with the 'layers of some twenty birthdays' rolled
off from her person. Her bah* not dyed, but re?
stored, and growing anew; her defective complex?
ion clear and soft-the lines which tell such tales ?
of tho workings of tho human heart and human
brain smoothed out, and the impress of time sud?
denly effaced from her general appearance."
The tide of emigration westward-already large
-promi?ea to exceed that of any previous year.
Thousands, says a Chicago lotter, are coming into
the Mississippi Valley. Large unmoors are cross?
ing the plains, of whom the bulk are bound to
Colorado, Montana and Idaho. The prospect of
a comparativo early completion of the Pacific rail?
road induces many to await that event before jour?
neying to the Territories beyond, or to the Pacific
States. Canada is contributing quito largely to
this tide of emigration, while the Eastern States
arc doing their share. All tho towns in the West
are full and overflowing, and reports come to ne
from all quarters that there is a pressing demand
for dwellings, bnt a very inadequate supply.
THE ARREST OF FREEDMEN'S BUREAU OFFICERS.

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 noun which the blow im?
pinged, especially if the force be applied not at a
Emited point, but over a surface of some extent.
A person failing from an uprigbt position mignt
receive enoh a fracture, especially if the system
is in a relaxed cou dinon, a? in a state cf drunken?
ness; if no effort is made at recovery, end if tbe
impetus of the weight of the body ia further lb
oreneed by a b ow or push. j
Or m-Examined : Never knew of a slap in the I
face, fr om a man's u pou hand, producing death.
[afany other witnesses were examined, both on
the part of the prosecution and in behalf of the
accused, bat the facts elicited by their evidenoe are
Mt materially different from those air ady given
To SATO Ipace, therefore, we omit their testimony.]
LT. P. BLIGH, a citizen of C h ar leaton, was charg?
ed with purchasing, for one dellar, a new uniform
overcoat from a soldier, Eza* A. GanK, Co. A,
Sith Begiment N. T. T. The sale cf the overcoat
to the accused was proven by tho said. E. A.
GBEZN. The defence offered provea that the
.oat waa offered to Mr. BLIOB, who refus?
ed to purchase it; that a city policeman,
by the name of Hicrum, Dum, who was in the
store at the time, followed the soldier! and bought
the coat of bim for three dollars. Dom was tb?
principal witness for the, defence, and his testi?
mony was corroborated by Mr. Bonn (in the I
employment of Mr. BLIOB), who was present at |
the time.
B, W. SEYMOUB, Esq., oo una ol for the defence.
UL ISIDORE LEWIS, white, a store-keeper in
Tradd-street ; charged with purchasing one pair
of uniform pants of a soldier.
EZRA A Unana proved tho sale of the pants
for one dollar.
B. W. SEYMOUR, Esq., appeared as counsel for I
the defence. Offered no witness bat tho wifo of I
tho accused, who was .withdrawn upon being ob?
jected to.
Counsel for the accused contended that inas?
much as there was no proof of an intent to aid or
abot desertion, that a conviction oould not take
place under tho Act of Cougrosa, Section '.'A. Act
o? M*roh 3,18G3.
IV. CASPAR HART, white, No. 88 King Btroet; I
charged with purchasing of a soldier a pair of |
panta for a dollar, anda pair of shoes for seventy
five cents. EZRA A. GBBBN proved the aale of the
gooda. The accused flared no dofenoe, but de?
nied knowing the accused or ever having seen him,
until he was notified to appear in this oaee.
The Military Commission found Alfred Pelot
" not guilty."
BLIGH, fiot " guilty."
OiBPAB HABT found " guilty" of the Charge, ex?
cept the words " with intent to aid and abet-de
aertion " Sentence, to pay a Sae of fifty dollars,
and to be confined for the period of six months
at such place as the Oommauding General may
direct.
Ia ID OB E Lrvrca, found gullly. Sentence'similar
to that of CABTAB HAST.

Order (No. 44), of General Dara?, re-rifling the [
action of tnis Cormruasion:
Y. The proceedings and fi nm'ega in thr> c&sea of
Isidore Lewis sod Caspar Hart (citizeLe) are ap?
proved.. The evidence in iheae easesShows t. at the
witness Green, having h d certain Government
clothing turned over to him, temp rarily, for the
special purpose of selling it to parties in Gbarlts
t. n, sold portions of eaid clothing to different
persons, and thereupon informed upon those to
whom he bad sold it. The law of March 3d, 1863,
makes the purchase of soldiers* clothing, for the
purpose of aiding and abetting desertion, a pun?
ishable offence, and the purchase of the clothing
is prima facie evidence of such intent; but when
the intent is disproved the penalty should not oe
enforced, as tba law ie not violated. The Com?
mission find that there was no intent to aid de?
sertion, and therefore should have acquitted the
prisoners. The sentences are, therefore, disap?
proved. r
VL The means employed in these eases to pro?
cure evidence against thoa? patties, were not such
as, in the opinion of the' Commanding General,
were justified by the circa ms tances. ' Had tho au
thcri?oe furnishing the clothing had otrong moral
grounds of suspicion against the prisoners^ j then
ft would hare been proper to accumulate proof In
this way, and "convert suspected into positive
guilt. " But to give a roving commission to ? sol?
dier to sell Government clothing to anyone who
?ill buy it, for the purpose and with the hopo of
arresting and convicting somebody, was both im?
proper and unjustifiable, [gee Holt's Digest,

The following in tere a tin g letter, nearly one
hundred years old, has beon kindly placed in Our
hands. It was written by ROOD Pnroaasr, and
addressed to his mother. It has never before been
published :
"Hon'd Madame .--AB I ira confident you muet
have borne a part of the uneasiness caused by
the ld te differences between Great Britain ?nd
ber Colonies, so I am likewise confident yon re-*
joice with your sett in the repeal of that most.in?
famous act destructive to the Bberty and rights
of every free-born Englishman. Happy for
America she has such powerful: friends at
h48?^fctfgjj
po*e^';tt^;.
We,; tis Colonists (for ?ma,.,
call- myself one), return, I behave, our ! gene?
ral thanks to that worthy, member pf society,
Mr. Gao. Gaaavrxxa, who lia? taken so much pains
to traduce us and call us rebela. I wish his heart
was half aa firmly attached to bia King and the
honor of bk country as ike generality of the
'Arnoricane are. I look on him as a JASTDJ, as a
doubla minded V-n, who, through sn over care
to preserve the honor and dignity, as be calls it, of
thar K-g and Par-i, has, I om afraid, a deep
laid scheme ai the bottom. And I dare say a cer?
tain Scotch Lord, ia his chief direotcr in the :
ter. Pray God he m ay ever bo frustrated toe
athis damned schemes. Andas we detest tho names
of Gammuxt and Bora, so we glory to the name
Of P. J. T. T. We behave him (and I believe justly)
a friend to America, a, friend te .w,t**MnA
ture to say he ihinks us, or he would nc
espoused our cause. Bis heart is too good to be .
biased by prejudice or gained by oorrup?oa.
England is happy te so great a patriot. . Ha has
not ody espoused ibo cause of Ame rio a in this
affair; hs bas assarted for ail free-born subjects
liberty, which I hope, while I live in the world,
wiT. always be inviolably supported.
"South Carolina, sensible of the services Mr.
PITT bas rendered them, have voted a statue to
be erected here of the finest marble, that poiteri
ty may look upon the man they are under so great
obligations tn. Had I been a member1 of the
House, and it had been consistent, I would have
voted lt to gold.

Ci TIL RIGHTS JH B?LTTMona. -Negroes from ali
parts seem to/be.selecting Baltimore as,a theatre
for the trial of the virtues of the dril rights bill.
The other day we .published an account of two ne?
gro school marms from Pennsylvania having a i
railroad officer arrested for ejecting them from
the depot parlor, and now we have io record the
exploita of a negro named Bradley, who calls
himself a "lawyer from Boston." Thia follow,
having been refused admission into a car on the
Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, especially sst apart
for ladies and gentlemen, instituted ault against
the Bailroad Company, and claiming damages to
the amount of one hundred dollars. Tue case
was beard on Tuesday by a justice, who gare
I Judgment to favor of the Bailroad Company. '
On the same day the same negro appeared be?
fore the United States District Court to obtain aa
injunction against the city passenger railway aa a
nuisance. The Baltimore 8un gives the following
account of this appearance : '..
Aaron Bradley, colored, claiming to be a mem?
ber of the legal profession, admitted to the Suf?
folk bar of Boston, appeared as a citizen of tho
United SUtes, under the civil rights but, before
the court, with a petition for an injunction to
restrain the City Passenger Ballway Company
from passing through Loxington-strret Tay the
Douglass Institute, for failing to comply with
the terms of their charter, &c. Judge Giles, after
listening verv patiently to all tho petitioner had
to a<y, stated that tbe United S ates Court had
no jurisdiction in tho pr?mices, and that the
proper tribunal to caaes of assault was the Crimi?
nal Cou't of Baltimoro; upon which the cUgnihWd
colored Boston lawyer retired.
