THE TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS,
ARRANaEHENrs COMPLETED.
Particular. Of the Programme.
Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
New YoRk, October 27.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga.ette.l
New York. October 81.
The Herald of tomorrow morning
will announce all the details of the arrange
meuts of the Government for the trial OF
JEFF. Davis. It appears that the trial was
decided upon in Cabinet session in An
gust last, and that the Government has
only waited for the close of the Wirz
trial to make the announcement. The
hopes entertained by the friends of Davis
since the speech of the President to the
South Carolina delegation. in which he
intimated that clemency toward Davis
ought to be exercised. are to be dashed TO
the earth. The trial is to be before the Su-
preme Court at Washington. and since
Davis State has nuliiied the ordinance
of secession, instead of repeating it, he
will be tried as il still Senator of the
United States. It is supposed that Mr..
Chase will preside. The charge will be
that of treason, and will be confined to q
few specifications.
The purpose Of the Government is not
merely to punish Davis. but to define the
nature of treason. fix its punishment, re-
veal the cruelties Of which it has been the
fruitful source, and establish legal prece-
dent for the future which will be terror
to traitors hereafter, and forever disgrace
the treason which for time was respect
able BY reason Of its power and formid
able proportions.
The Attorney General has selected TIT
counsel to aid him 10 the prosecution, ant
Mr.. Davis has been allowed to select hi
