THE IMPENDING CRISIS.

Everything denotes that the radicals Of
the North are determined not to surrender
to JEFF. DAVIS without making vigorous
fight The Government Of the nation and
the Fraternity Club Of Boston are not to be
handed over to bloodthirsty rebels-not If
the court understands herself In order to
fire the Northern heart the politicians now
in power there have stirred the gentle
bosoms Of the poetesses Of that genial cline
10 give expression in verse to the burning
radical thought In the Boston Transcript
we find an efusion from favorite female
versewright of that ilk, Miss ELIzABErH
DOZEN, who rouses her warlike countrymen
in strains like these:

There are yet brave hearts and loyal, whose man

Who scorn base preferment, and despise the trail

Amer sketching the trials of our armies by
slaughter, wounds and starvation in prisons,
Miss DorES intimates that the rebellion was
only political scrimmage-in the following
forcible passage:

Jefferson Dayis's Case-The Legal
Obstacles TO a I:fal.
Especial Dispatch to the Public Ledger.

Special Dispatch TO the fuonc LeuBorJ
RICHMOND, Sept 3O.-The facts connected
with Jefferson Daviss case-and have them
from an authoritative source-are these: :
The Circuit Court of the United States for
the fourth circuit originally sat ut Richmond.
In 1864, Richmond being the seat of the
rebel government and Norfolk being held
by the Union forces, Congress passed a law
removing the court to the latter place. The
held ut Norfolk on the first Mondays Of May
and November the place and time were
designated-"and no other" John G. Under
wood was appointed District Judge" and
as such, in the absence Of Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, held the Cir
cuit Court at Norfolk, in May, 1866. The
grand Jury of this court found true bill for
high treason against Jefferson Davis and on
May 5 Judge Underwood, without authority
of law, adjourned this court TO Richmond,
where it met on June 9th. The reason the
Judge gave for this procedure was that I've
supposed an act of Congress had passed au
thorizing the change.
Such an act did pass, but not until May
%, seventeen days after the Judge ordered
the adjournment This act directs the adj
journment as a future thing to be made from
Norfolk in certain way, and the papers to
be transferred. The course directed has
ney,r yet been pursued nor have the records
Leen reno red. Had Jefferson Davis case
been tried last .;2ne it would not have been
properly before the court, and conviction
could not have been sustained Were it to
be tried now at Richmond the effect wG2ld
be the same. All this was known in June
last to Judge Underwood, yet in his remarks
to the counsel. Messrs. Reed and Brady, at
that time he said;
THE Chief Justice, who is expected to
preside on this trial, has named the first
Tuesday in October as the time that will be
most convenient to him. When this court
adjourns, it will adjourn, not until the next
term, which is in November, but until the
first Tuesday in October next"
The time appointed has come and the
! prisoners counsel are here, and say that they
az ready to begin the trial; but the fact i
ascer, aimed that the entire judicial procedure
Is wrong and void from the beginning
Judge Tnderw pod will probably have to trea
ali that was done by him in June last as /
nuliity, and go to NorloIS and begin anew
whilst, in the meantime, the trial which thu
public so generally demand, is indefinitely
postponed. Other difficulties hang aroun'
The case, but this is the main ope j.

menced at quarter past two o'clock on the

Crane on the fly. Mcbride followed, and made his
run. Reach also made his run. wilkins was put
out on the FIRST base on q foul ball. Bsrkenstack

Pearoe led of for the Atlantics and made his
first base. Start, Of the Atlantic, struck q mag.
niacent ball. which was caught by wilkins, who
6elded to Reach, and Psarcs was put out on the
second base. On the FIRST inning the score stood,
Athletics 2, Atlantics out and 2 on the base.
At this time the crowd gradually broke into the
field, and notwithstanding the efforts Of the police,
soon covered 1t. man was dragged by the police
from the crowd with his head covered with blood.
This led to additional excitement, and 1t was i'm.
possible to continue the game.
At quarter past three O'Clock It was decided by
the umpire, Mr.. Bomsissr, Of the Eureka club, to
declare the game of,
1t is understood that Mr.. Berkenstack, of the

with the result.
There was very heavy betting on the game
