jeff. DAVIS.

As our readers may wish to know ~hss
is to be done with this distinguished
" rebel" and in what manner he is to be
tried and what manner Of trial he is to
have we copy The following from the
Washington correspondence OF the New
York World, of the s.h inst. Speaking
of the probability of bis being Sc. q. lib
erty until his trial the correspondent
says:
1t is understood that the question Of
bailing or paroling Jefferson Davis was
discussed in the Cabinet yesterday, and
the opinion oil each member was given.
No decision, however, was reached in the
matter. Mr.. Charles O. Connor to-day had.
another interview with the President, and
it is understood that decision will be had
at once. sThe parties who propose to 90
on the bond ih case he is bailed or paroled
even as security TO any amount which the
government may fix, are some Of tue
leading Republicans of New York and
Pennsylvania. The probabilities are that
he will be paroled instead of bailed.
Speaking Of the demaeogue Judge US-,
DEkwooD, the same corr respondent says:
/: is to be hoped that at the trial Of
Mr.. Davis the I'lesiden. will have suffi.
Giant resrart for ,hn opinion nf 1nanLind
to request the Chief Justice to preside.
Underwood is not fit to be Judge :, he
cannot charge grand jury without max
ing a stump speech, and stump speech
of the most offensive and malignant ma,
ture. lie WIS an importation which
never suited the locality. lie found him>
self as he would probably find bimself
every where, socially repugnant and per-
sopally, disiked. lie felt the bitterness
of hate, bu, had not the courage to in>
dulge it personally, and delights in lec,ur-
ing from the safe elevation Of JUDICIAL
position those whom lie has neither the
rgh. to lecture nor tie heart to compre-
hend. A revolution always throws just
such scum TO the surface. Jefferson.
Davis is indeed TO be brought to trial.
but he will not be tried. The party
actually on trial will be the Republican,
party, and it will not take lawyer OF
one-tenth the intellect If MIR. O'Connor
TO demonstrate with the accuracy Of a
mathematical demonstration, that upon
the utterance Of Seward, Chase, Lincoln
and Sumner, Mr.. Davis vas not only free
from the sIightes, moral guilt, but is en.-
titled to honor. The argument for the
righ, Of secession will be presented in
such form that the world viii read it,
and will contain necessarily such tes,i
| monv from the super-loyai East and tie
eminently loyal abolitionists ic its favor
as will astonish the honest masses. Mar
shall who was little inferior as Judge,
to Mr.. Chase, presided at the trial uf
Burr; and surely, at trial OF so mnc}r
greater Importance, the honor Of the
| United States is concerned that its judicial
officer shall be Of mental caltie more
than enough to decide bar room bet
upon the weight Of hog. Politics and
paper money have pretty we'll debauched
the community; they have so sap1ed the
confidence Of men in. courts; that no one
expects court to be anything but part
isan upon certain questions. After the
utteranee of Underwood, a conviction
will exist that Mr. Davis was indicted by
packed jury, and will be tried by a
packed jury before a judge who has every,
thing of Jetferies bu, bis braits'.
The President having refused to give
Mr.. O'CoNNoR a direct answer, that gen.
tleman has left Washington, and j. is now
pretty well settle that Davis will not be-
paroled or released on bail.
