Tho spring meeting at tho Hoboken raoo coime

of two milos over six hurdles, a dan h for ono and

\v. Jerome, with tho assistance of Dr. Irring, baa
revolutionized tho masaos boro insomuch aa rc
Sards tho fondness for tbo sports of tho turf, and
io uunouncemont of a race now produces hero
quito aa much excitement ua it would bavo dono
in Charles .on or Now Orleans in tho olden tune.
Tho enthusiasm with whioh night after night at
\Valla:kji, tho great Derby raco scene in tho Flying
Send is received, is a straw which shows bow tho
popular wind blown. In this soono tho mirror is so
hold up to na'uro that the resection looks Uko na?
tara herself-wo behold tho raco track crowded
with mon, womon and children, negro minstrels
among tho ru ans ce, circ?n mon performing their
feats, Punoh shows in full bleat, boys fighting and
tho crowd cheering, gaming tablos and men ploying,
in fact everything prooUjoly as wo soo it on a race
course. And then tho raco-tho horses small'
whon viowo 1 at a dintnneo, iueroastng in size as
thoy near us, and tho winner " Flying Scud,''
coming in upon tho stace covered with foam, and
bobtridod by tho old jockey who bad not ridden
for forty years, but rodo Flying Bond to save tho
race, the rider having been drugged by thoso who
bad bot against tho favorito. . As thoro ia but little
merit in the play, with tho excoption of tho One
effect, produced uv. thia Boone, and aa tho pi eco al?
most outdraws tho Black Crook ltsolf, it showa
that Jerome and Dr. Irving bavo boca successful,
and that tbo people "of Now York have begun to
take a lively interest in the delightful sports of tho
turf.

RICHMOND, May 14.-Well, hero I am, in this
loveliest of American cities,- "beautiful for - situa?
tion," and endeared to every Bou th om heart for her
manv bravo men and fair women- mon, who in the
hour of trial wero found at tho post of duty, and
waihou, Qodbloaa them, who through four hong
and torriblo, years, never caaoed to give - toelr
noblest sympathies and affection to tho cause they
heh) dcor, and to tho h tro u g hearts that Buffered and
bled for it. i The oity sot noon tho hills will ever
occupy a green spot in our memories. But th cao
are by-gone H. This fair city has laid by tho habili?
ments of war and of mourning, and once again ar
ray ed,, .hers elf in tho garb, of youth and beauty.
Tho '?Royal Jeeras" Ja no longer "on tho ram pa g e,"
tho fluids boym-nl the flood (over in Chesterfield^
oro dressed in living green. Tho graceful lindens,
tho lofty elma,- tho Beautiful ailniitiiri," and tho ma?
jestic tulip trocs, aro all docked . in tba latest
"spring fashions." Tho Capital Square, groen
with the Injuriant blue grasa, nativo to tho soil,
looks familiar ; and there ia tho identical statao of
WASHINGTON, jost os of old, though wo observe an
addition to tho family einco hist wo gazed' ripon
that sorono hut determined countenance. Chief
Juatico MAIUJU?IJ. .?mw ' fpryns oner of the group
mourning* round the Fathor of bis country, I
I Tho u tree ta ulm w bot* few traces of, tho wax. The
last vestige nearly 'of tho great Aro of April, 1865,
haa been obliterated, and Main and Cary, Bank
abd Franklin streets,. aud tho crass streets from
15th np to Oth, hayo all been rebuilt, and in a style
for surpassing their former pelves. Those huge
bundill gH, known during tho war ns Hospitals, now
once moro AU their pr?stino'destiny, in tho manu?
facturo of "pluck" tobacco. .? The street cara, too,
oro running again. All la as .of old,' save our
friends tho frecdmon. They aro on the rampage
now. For tho botter understanding of thoso diffi?
culties wi tl i tho negroes .of Richmond, I would in?
form your roaderu, that in this city for many years,
tho negroes have been much lesa docile than was
tho case in Charleston, for instance,' or almost any
oilier city iii tho Routh, Thoy yr oro employed in
large tob?ceo factories, from one hundred to three
hundred sometimes ina single establishment,- and
whether hired or owned, generally received board
wages, that is, the manufacturer paid each one of
them a fixed amount every Saturday night, where?
with to maintain hims alf during the coming, week.
But little responsibility waa felt by. tho ownor or
hirer,'ps for as oonoernod tho conduct of ..tim na-'
groot when off duty. Bad habits of various kinds
were thus, if not enoouraged, certainly not eheck-j
ed, and a degree of freedom - allowed, whioh'' was
not good for thom. ' ' -, ' .??".<*?'-j
When emancipation carno it appeared to have a
more intoxicating offed upon thom here than any-,
whore oise in tho,South, as far as I havo hoard,
and they have been ever since disposed to be very'
"obstreperous" and unruly in this eily. They havo',
bad their "militia companies,*' and etrntted about
in groat stylo, "playiu' sogerj" apd oven since,
thoso organisationi nave been prohibited by tho.
General commanding tho First Military'District,
Mr. Freedman has nevertheless continued bia
study of tactics. Much of this is certainly due to'
tho incendiary IntermoddUniz of hungry adven?
turers Uko HDNNIOUTT (called "the delectable
cuss" by tho papers bore), and others of that - ilk,:
who find tholr profit in such mischief-making. Wo'
have boon bavintr riots here almost every day dor
lng tho past week, and when wo have mue thoro
is a constant appr?hension, which is almost as bad.
As I suppose yon have had tho particulars of these
alroady nom your Richmond exchanges, I will
hasten on to nobler thornes,
Thero was quite a gathering of notabilities darr
lng the last few days, who carno hore to witness I
tho I nal of Mr. DATTB. - Mr. Uzn>?swooT>, I bog his
Bardon. Jndga li. (save. tho. mark I), opened his
onrt last woe lc, and having bad a Grand Jory
packed with mon after his own heart, ho "charged
thom." ..This Judge's charges have become la?
mons, perhaps I should say infamous, and are now
looked for as regularly aa any othpr unavoidable
nuisance/ ' ' : -.
- 'Whether this last charco, tho \Heat ?nd most
Blanaorplia he has yot delivered, was. inspired by
tho tbroo or four negroes whom his r yoe. wore de*
lighted to see on tho Jury, and who'lier be wished
to astonish these colored natives with tho un paral?
la il ed un pud on co with which ho dared, in open
day, to insult a whole community of ludios and
gentlemen, the least of whom are his betters', I, of
co orso, cannot undertake to say. I Bot the Dirty
Dog did it, and the Du&d puck in tho Washington
Chronicle, alon? of all tho knights of the quill,
quackod a."well dono, ocmrado."
Pardon my wasting so mach space on thia un?
just Judge. I must now hasten to the - main topic
of roy communication-ex-president Jefferson Ba?'

Mr. Evarlu Bald tho imprisonment was under tho
military authority and Jurisdiction of tho Unitod
Statin. Ita duration or tho circumstances attend?
ing; it aro not noooeaarily to be criticised or de?
fended in any way. Ila ia now snbjoct to Judicial
control, and tho quo ?lion for your Honor ts,
??bollier tbe prisoner shall bo let to bail, -OB tho
learned gontloman proposes. II your Honor HO
d t?rminos, thon tho question arises aa to what
amount, and tho terms, and tho divinion, if do
sirod. on which tho security may bo taken. Tho
indictment, I havo boon informed, ie under a
re cont set or Congress proscrib? UK tho punish?
ment for treason, passod in 1863, and which, for
tho first timo in our locislation, has niado it
proper for thc court to inflict lesa than tho death
ponai ty for th 3 crime.
Undoubtedly tho Government, in saving to your
Honor that thoy do not propono proceeding against
tho prisoner dunn'.' tho prosont, torin, havo pre?
sented a proper oaao for tho motion nf Ins counsel.
And it la for year Honor to dotermino on tho usu?
al tonna, in tho discretion of the conrl, consider?
ing all tho circumstances of tho caso, as to tho
proprioty of receiving bail. Tho court has noth?
ing; to do with tho cliarueter or utotlvce of tho
sureties. It could only look to what tho law ro
?|uiroa with regard to poounlary responsibility and
or insuring tho proaonco of tho accused. I do
not know that there mil bo any indisposition on
tho part of tho prisoner's counsel to moot tho
amount of ball your Honor or tho District Attor?
ney may think suitable. Indeed, from tho re?
marks of tho prisoner's counsel, they havo thc
nb iii tv and disposition to furnish tho requisito BO
curity.1 AB to tho question of amount, lt waa ior
Eour Honor to Baywhot proper eura, in order to
bo proper administration of Justice.
District-Attorney,Chandler said tho (juration
now presontod ?9, wbothor tho prisoner sholl bo
admitted to bail? l'Un Judiciary act of 176!) pro?
vide? that tho Buprouio Court, ono of tho Justices
nf tho Supremo Court, or a judgo of tho District
Court of tho United States, may, in any caso, oven
in oapital punishment, taking into consideration
all tho circumstances, admit to ball, oxeroising a
sound discretion. If an indictment waa found
against tho prisoner under a law by which ho could
not be punished with death, thon, aa a matter of
right, ho could givo bail. I will atate what I sup?
pose to bo a fair amount of bail, and I do BO tho
moro freely becauso thoro has boen aomo littlo
consultation in lilia matter. 11 bolievo tho learned
counsel associated with mo will agrco in saying
that wc ai o' authorized to aak ball in tho. sum ol
$100,000. I presumo there will bo no question as
to tho amount of bail. It would ho asooay a ques?
tion to determino on. that amount as on $10,000.
Something had boon said about goutlomen from ail
port? of the country ropiosonting all shades ol
politics, Willing to enter surety for tho appearance
of tho prisoner at tho noxt term. So far aa surety?
ship is ooncernod, wo have no objection to lake
thom, but I fool that I owe a duty lo tho Govern?
ment in asking that, In addition lo gentlemen re?
siding outside of thia distriat, gontlomon re? ?dine
within thia district shall niuo enter into aoourity
in ur 1er to socoro tho otteudanco of tho priaonci
at tho next term. ?
Mr. O'Gonor.-Wo can moot that question as tc
ball. , ?
Slr. Chandler.-That ie in tho discretion of th?
Court. I may remark, in order to avoid embar?
rassment In tho futuro, that tho Govcrnmon
would run no risk by requiring some of tho sure
tica to he realdonts of this diatriot; while, on tin
contrary, there might be difficulty. Wo would bi
certain, in CASO of non-attendance, without bavin]
to enter ault in a different jurisdiction, to hold tb
sureties responsible for the no 1-appearance of th
prisoner.
Mr. O Conor,-On a question of residence thor
need be no difficulty, we will giro those who wi!
rospcot their obligations. fl ri
Mr. Erarte.-Wo hare no objection;provided t'.
socuritv is adequate.
Mr. O'Conor_Thoro are ten gentlemen willini
to go security ten thousand doliera each.
Tao court bald tho quoetion is wb other tho ol

sldoriog the natural' effect of a,' groat war, whit

in consequence of the prevalence of thia distar
