rRlAL OF MR.. DAVIS.

Washington kilograms state that it has bee,
,defoitely settled that the trial Of JefferO,
Davis will occur 10 Baltimore before Chief Jul,

relative to this matter; but the above is semi
official and therefore may be considered reli
able
The New York News contains the. following
statement
j. b. Van Dein, clerk in :he rebel War
Department writes to the Cincinnati Conner
cial that in February last he was present at a,
interview between. Booth and Davis; BOOa
was introduced to the Confederate Chisfb,
Benjamin, and two other young men were
his company.
"Booth commenced by saying that plan W.T.
formed 10 the Northern States aud Cansh
friends of the Confederaoy, to capture or assss,
nate Mr. Lincoln; that be bad full list Of II.
names, and all they desired. was an official rs
cognition on the part Of the Confederate autho.
titles, aud that then the project would ceraitJ
be executed.
ale further stated that they desired no DE-
cuniary assistance from she Government, as thr
was already secured; that they were not lits'
gain, but were actuated only bysu desire to rgu!
der the Confederaoy service by removing the
tyrart who was the cause Of so much suEenNv
to the country, and the only obstacle IN
way of speedy peace. These are the words
near as can remember. Messrs. Davis M
Breckenridge both expressed their hearty COZ
domination Of the plot, and advised Bon h
think no more of it. That they felt that Aeu
cause was just, and that God, in his own geo
Time, would give them the victory. without 70
sorting to anything but the most honorable va
fare, and that they were willing to leave IN
eoln's punishment, for his great crime, to h'|
Providence of just Ged and an outraged PeoP'
"Benjamin said nothing Booth then retired
and the last words he uttered in tire room ver'
'He must dep After Booth and his friends Ts'
gone, Davis said Those fellows came her
merely to see the Richmond sights, and ihs
assassination plot is mere fudge Breckn
ridge and Benjamin laughed, and the latterSlt
Il think So The matter received no more St
tention, and all agreed with Mr. Davis that 10
plot was mere fudge am satisfied that non
of them ever expected what has since become
so deadly reality. In conclusion, let me saT
that am willing to be qualified to the abOv'

THE WORK OF RECONSTRUCTION.

/. Gov. Holden has appointed Justices OF tne
Peace in the following counties:
Brunswick, Buncombe, Carteret, Craven,
Davidson, DupliD, Edsecombe, CASTOR, Gates,
Greene, Haywood, Henderson, Harnett, lredell,
Jones, Jackson, Moore, Meckleuburg, Macon,
Mitchell, Madison, Randolph, Stokes, Trannsyi-
vsnia and Yancey.
The process of reorganzing the civil Govern
ment of the State goes on as rapidly as could be
expected Magistrates have been appointed
for two thirds of the counties in the State, and
Mayors and commissioners have been selected
for all the towns that desired it in these coun-
ties.
The Magistrates are expected to hold county
courts for all civil anG criminal business not re-
quring the aid of a jury The courts will ap-
point the usual county officers, Sheriff, County
Court Clerk, Coroner, Solicitor County Trustee,
aud other usual officers necessary for The county.
The Local Police Of each county will be un-
der the control of the court, aud it is the duty
of the Police to assist the Magistrates in keep
ing the peace and main tanning the laws by obey
ing and executing all orders issued to them by
the courts aud by the Justices out Of court.
Thus there is civil force in two-thirds of
the counties of the State, with military organ
ization under their control, all peaceable and
loyal men, and sworn agents of the Government,
for preserving order. When these organiza-
tons shall have been completed, there will be
in the State nearly four thousand magistrates
AID about seven thousand policemen, distribut-
ed in every neighborhood This will insure the
peace and quiet of all our citizens aud it will
also enable the United States Government to
withdraw their troops and leave us to take care
of ourselves.
All that. is necessary is little patience and a
little forbearancc. The Convention will soon
meet and then we shall have a most able body
of men, we'll knowing the wants and require
meuts of the people, to give the State the bene-
fl of their views and their laws-Raleigh

From the Richmond Commercial Bulletin, June Is.
A DIsINTEREsTED JUDGE.--We are credibly
informed that Judge Underwood, who was 10 this
city few. days ago, making arrangements to
hold term ofthe United States Court for the
Eastern district of Virginia, is at present occu-
plying the dwelling house of Mr. William NJ.
McVeigh, 10 Alexandria, and claiming to be
the lawful owner thereof in Zee simple, by virtue
of decree of confScation and sale entered in
his own court. This house, worth fully $780,
900, was sold by the marshal of Judge Under
woods court for the sum of 81 500, and Judge
Underwood himself became the purchaser. MIR
McVeigh's son was living in the house at the
time of the confscation and sale above referred
to. Mr. McVegh is over ifty years of age, and
never held Office of any sort under the Cohfed-
crate Government. He was indicted, we see,
last week, before the grand jury of Norfolk for
treason The Constitution of the United States
and the laws of every civilized land requires
that man shall be convicted Of treason before
his property be confscated, but Judge Under
wood has, in thiscase, for reasons that can easily
be seen through, reversed the regular sequence
of legal proceedings. 1t also declares that no
attauder for treason shall work forfeiture of
land, beyond the life of the person attainted
We are not surprised, though, at his mistake in
this particular, as we hear he never had a H.
cense to practice law, before he was placed on
the bench. This is the man who comes among
US to occupy tie seat that Judge Marshall once
occupied.

EXIT COTTON AGENTs--lt seems the reign
of cotton agents east of the Mississippi river is
really over, aud henceforth there is to be 10 re-
striction upon the traffic, except the internal
revenue tax of two cents per pound. About
this there can no longer be any doubt, notwith-
standing the ambiguous 'phraseology of the
Presidents proclamation. We are officially no.
tilted of the fact from Washinnton, and Seoreta-
~ McCulloch telegraphed to the same effect,
yesterday, in response to an inquiry by certain
New York merchants. So far SO good; now let
President johnson issue another proclamation,
renting the penalties of the confscation act
against those who are worth more than twenty
thousand dollars. The South wants money to
put the wheels of commerce In motion, and
there is plenty at the North to lend; but so long
as the well-to-do men of the South can neither
sell their cotton nor mortgage. their land, every
thing will be at stsn6-still Suffering and
downright starvation will result, unless all re-
straints are taken away from production and
distribution.--Ne,o York World
