Judre Mason, the chairman Of the National
democratic Executive Committee, resilient IL

The upalterable determination OF Chief Jus

been thought by some would nectSstnts the

the members of the recent convocation ofgene-
rails. held in this city TO confer with General
Grant on the merits of the different military
bills now pending, called, during their stay,
on the Attorney. General. II would make no
difference if Mr.. Davis should be judged before
such a court, as the President, even if their
decision should condemn him (of which there
is no fear, would interpose his authority, anC
prevent the contamination so deroutly hoped
by the blood thirsty crew who have energeti.
cally demanded his speedy trial conviction,
and execution" at various periods. This am
assured, apart from the result Of the interview
between the President and the South Carolina
delegation some time ago, is certain, and Exc
cutive clemency would completely aeutralize
the action Of any court disposed TO sanguinary
measures that, by any possibility, might be
organized. The assertion, however, that a
military organization is in contemplation for
that purpose is unfounded.
