THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIS.
WASHINGTON, August 20.
Tbs trial of JEFF. Davis will take place
before the U. S. Circuit Court, but in what
particular one has not been designated.
There seems to be no important attached to
the fact til at tho CsaAd Jury Of tho District
of Columbia some months since found
true bill against him for constructive trea-
son in sending troops to operate against
Washington in the summer of 1854.
The Grand Jury at Knoxville has indict-
ed him for treason for having harsngued|
the people the people there against the ..
8. Government The trial, however, can
not take place in that town, or in any other
place in the 10th Judicial District, for the
reason that the vacancy OccasiOned by the
death of Associate Justice Cstron has not
been filed.
As the military operations against tbs
United States were directed by orders given
from Richmond it is probable that the trial
will take place in Virginia. at Norfolk, inI
which case Chief Justice Chase will preside
as that State is embraced in the Judicial
circuit assigned to him.
Representations in behalf of A. H. Stevens,
R. NJ. T. Hunter and other rebel leaders
have been made TO the Executive authori-l
ty, but there is no decision in their respec-
tive cases.
The counsel for Wirz say they will sum-
mon at least $50 witnesses. If 30, those call
ed by the prosecution will make 800 to be
examined; probably extending the trial
three months.
