TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The reports WITH reference to the trial of
JEFFERSON DAVIS: are very conflicting.
Last week we published a. statement from
the New York Herald, that all the prelim.
mary arrangements fora speedy trial had
been made. "A Washington dispatch to the
New York News under date of the 3rd
instant, says ssthere is reason nowto believe
that JEFFERSON DAVIS will fnot be:brought
4 to trial lat;all, bntswilI soon be released and
ultimately pardoned, after consultation with
the most eminent legal talent in the coun--

that the national character Of the question
restrained all private sympathy which they
might have awakened in him. and made
the important statement that arrangements
have been made for the early legal trial Of
Mr.. DAVIS according. to the laws of the

In further confirmation of these facts,

=, ,aWe are able to state positively that it
is the settled purpose Of the government to
give JEFFERSON DAyIsa fair and impartial
trial before jury Of hia peers, in the highest
tribunal of the land having jurisdiction
over such criminal cases I'd It is but just to
state that the delay of the trial cannot be
attributed to ahy act on the part of Presi-
dsnt of the JInitad States 49,.
Again The Philadelphia Inquirer of a
late date has the following .: -
"It appears to have been finally decided
that Jefferson Davis will receive full and
free pardon, and be furnished passport to
Europe, on giving his parole never to return,
The several plans for his trial have all fall
sn through. The Norfolk Court Of Judge
Underwood, was abandoned on account of
doubt as to the question of Jurisdiction,
and the improbability Of obtaining an un.
biased jury at that place. A military
commission had been also agreed upon at
one time, and evidence prepared tending to
convict him of conspiracy in the assasina.
ton of Mr.. Lincoln; but the President has
concluded to have no more military court
martials or commissions It was also pro-
posed to try him in Virginia, by . United
States Circuit Court, over which Chief JUS
tice Chase was to preside, but this was also
found impracticable, as there is yet no or.
ganization Of the United States Court in
Virginia, and il there had been, an impar-
tial trial by jury there would be impossible.
1t is said the President decided that he
should not be tried anywhere out of Virgin.
ia, and overruled che proposition to try him
in Baltimore or Washington, because he,
Davis, "committed' his crimes III Virginia "
Thus the matter stands. II is said that in
addition to the upitsd appeals Of the rebel
leaders in the South, to "fet Davis 60"
Horace Greedy, Ward Beeeher, and others,
have visited the President aud begged for
the life and pardon Of the eminent Southern
Statesman. - =, ..-....,- ..,
