Trial of Mr. Davis -ChieG-Ju q
Chase Refuses to Preside.

Correspondence Of the New York Daily News
WAsumoroN, May 81.
The givings.out by those who CONTROL or
fancy they control the Administration-I
have particular reference to the Secretary of
the Senate-show that Davis is to be tried in
this city, before Judge David X. Cartier,
ChiefJustce Of the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia. ChiefJustice Chass, sit
seems, was applied to to preside at the trial,
but refused. The cod-blooded, calculating.
politician knew that a vast amount of feeling
will be created by the conviction of Davis
especially upon the charge of constructive
treason, and while anxious to aid in the deep
damnation of the taking Off Of Jefferson
Davis, he is anxious to impose the burden on
Cartier, 80 as to say with PLATE, wash my
hands of this mans blood. He is hostile to.
Cartier, holds HIM as he holds every man that
refuses to serve him, aud 'thereby hangs n
tale"
Mr. Chase, at the time of Lincoln's first
nomination, wanted to be President as he
wants to be President now, Mr.. Cartier was
u delegate 70 the Chicago Convention, aud
was President Of the Ohio delegation He was
in the ring that was 10 defeat Seward and
make Ben Wade President Mr.. Greeley,
now of the Tribune, then "the gentleman from
Oregon" was also in the ring, bat finding
Lincoln had the best chance, gave his fellow
eonspirators the slip, and went over to Lin
coin. Chase suspected Cartier Of not being
true to his interest, and this was confirmed
when Lincoln lacked but two or three votes
of nomination. Cartier announced changes
enough from his delegation to accomplish it,
Chase never forgaye him, and Chase never
will; and IL he can make Cartier the instru.
ment of execution being done on Davis, he
will reap rich reward, for many will believe
il wrong sentence, not bat that Davis is
guilty, but he committed no overt act within
the jurisdiction OF the District of Columbia,
and those who believe this will hold his triaI,
sentence and execution as legal murder.
