Mr.. ScHADE, Junior counsel for WIRz, had

Of several of the witnesses for the Govern
ment, DO. ...... "'
The President replied that he would give
the most favorable consideration possible to
| his representations Of the case. The Presi-
dent made no promises, but Mr., ScHADE had
some hope, when he left the Executive Man
sion, that mitigation Of the sentence would

the interests Of his client, represents WIRE
| to be in philosophic and Christian state Of
mind. The condemned is, as he says per!
fectly conscious Of his entire innocence of
the charges alleged against him, and there
fore he will die happy. 1t seems, however,
from conversations we have had with the
junior counsel of the condemned, that his
ideas of his innocence rest only upon the
fact that some of the specifications in the
charges were not proved. -
As We understand WiRz, through his coun-
sci, he denies having shot single Union

Tho second objection amounts to the state
mont that II would be undignihed for Chief
Justice csAsE or either of his Associates to
try traitor while Federal bayonets neoes-
ssrily exist upon the soil Of Virginia. With.
out meaning 70 be diSrespectfut TO the Chief
Justice, we sincerely think that such an on
cuse is not only undigni6ed and uucalled for,
but II sounds TOO much like the copperhoad
harangues of the last Presidential campaign
against the Government. 1t is the emana-
tion of q mind dissatisfied with the sitpationj,
for which the President Is not to blame,
Chief Justice cHAsE knows verywell that
the military cannot with safety be with
drawn from Virginia. Because Of that fact,
in order to avoid soillng his ermine by con-
tact with Federal bayonets. the Chief Justice
proposes to let JEFFERSON DAVIS 20 un-
tried Such position would have been
consistent with the record of Chief Justice
CHAsE's predecessor in Fugitive Slave law
times, but II reflects no credit upon the
present judicial head Of the United States
Supreme Court.
If Chief Justice CHAsE Is right in his
opinion that II does not become tho Judges
Of Court to hold term whore the military
power exists, then to be consistent with this
view Of the matter we presume he will re-
fuse to hold tho United States Supreme
Court within the District Of Columbia, and
the District courts, acting upon the same
priuoipls, will also adjourn !, ,.lrrr $40. o
The statement made in the Commsrcial,
that the Chief Justice assigns as I" reason
why he cannot try DAVIS is "that there is
no regularly organized court . in Virginia,
is not true. He recognized n legal court,
authorized by Congress, and informs the
President that the time for 1t to meet is on
the 27th Of this month. '..''--",
We have the highest authority for stating
that the President does not maintain that
DAVIS cannot be tried at any other place
than Richmond, AS is erroneously announced
BY the Commercials correspondent .,..t -'
We hope that the 'impression'' of the
correspondent that DAVIS will be allowed to
escape without trial is not very deep, as 1t
is without thsslightest foundation in truth
So much for the attempt to throw the re-
ponsibility of delaying the trial Of JEFfKRr
SON DAVIS upon the President. werest the
subject here for the present. ,... ..
