the Tria, OF Jsa. Davis.

WASHINGTON, August 20 The trial of JEFF
Davis will take place before United States
Circuit Court, but what particular one has
not yet been designated. There seems to
be no importance attached to the fact that
the Grand jury Of the District oil Columbia
some months ago, found true bill against
him for constructive treason, in sending his
troops to operate against Washington in the
summer Of 1864.
The Grand Jury OF the Caurt at Knoxville
has indicted him Tor treason, for there Mr
Davis harangued the people against the
United States Government The trial, however,
can not now take place in that town, or in
any other place in the 10th Judicial District,
Tor reason that the vacancy oocasioued by the
death of Associate Justice Catrow has not
been filed
As military operations against the United
States we're directed by orders given from
Richmond, it is probable the trial will take
place in Virginia nj Norfolk, In which event
Chief Justice Chase will preside, as that State
is embraced in the Judicial Circuit assigned
to him,
THE wERrz TRIAL.
The counsel for Weriz say they will sum
mon at least 100 witnesses II so, those
with the witnesses called for the prosecution
will make 800 10 all, to be examined probably
extending the trial three months
