military tribunal had no jurisdiction in the matter.
Mr.. Livingston told them what he had heard from
several Engshmen in regard to this brutal murder OF

horror throughout Europe, and in q few days such
howl Of Indignation would come from the water
as would so and Brighten the Administration
that they would not dare put Davis the stand. It,
therefore, behooved them not to leave stone unturned
but to use every sXeron to force the Administration
TO this work.
Mr.. Cutler said he had expected that Mr.. Davis
would be brought to trial before the District Court OF
the District of Columbia but that the Government did
not dare bring the case before Judge Wyie, who was
Democrat that probably. if there any trial at all
it would be before Chase.
DEPRESSING from the main topic. the question Of
Negro Suffrage referred TO- and 1t thought it
would prove bone of contention among the BLACK
Republicans" Mr.. Livingston always ready for cue,
said he would give them an idea Of the sentiments of
Western soldiers with whom he had conversed. He
found that their hatred of the "nigger" in
tense than that entertained by the Southern people.
" To illustrate this" continued Mr. L., Il will tell you
a circumstance that under my own observation.
Within a short time than 100 niggers have been
murdered in cold blood in Mobile by Western soldiers"
He said the Western people would oppose the Negro
Suffrage queston-that this point they would
assmilste with the East. The inference was that to

the South

at bay for months army Of $1,000 Northern troops;
and Mobile only oapiiaated when her defenders were
worn and exhausted. He then spoke Of the noble
hearted Of the South OF the and contempt
with which they looked upon Northern olicers-that
they would net suffer them 10 approach them-at the
same time taking care to commit no act that would
render them liable TO arrest Mr. l.. continued in this
strain for time, declaring that the universal feel
inc at the South was that "no id Yankee should
ever have foohold there" Mr.. L. explained that he
quoted common expression at the South-he was not
swearing Revertihg TO the. more direct object
Of the meeting. he said: Gentlemen. you will want
great deal Of money. 1 am on my way to England to
raise funds. promise you with confidence that

One of the New. Workers. I believe Mr. Cutler,
responded that there would be difficulty in raising
money in this city.
Mr. Livingston said he spoke advisedly in reference
TO obtaining money abroad.
In regard to President johnson Mr. Cutler said they
did not know what to think Of him. but when ad
yanced a set of principles day. and the next q set
opposed to them, of such he did
not think much.
1t was o'clock the meeting having been in
session about an hour and halt, and / away.
The tone of the meeting unequiyocay and strong
" secession The audience seemed to indorse every
sentiment While bemoaning tie fate Of the assassins.
nothing was said about the murder Of Mr. Lincoln.

not yet over and that they mean to accomplish their
ends some way or another. Their manner spokeeyen
more than their words.
