The intended programme of Judge I'm

been secretly forwarded to us before he
made his advent into that city, but, as
reayealed to us, it was 50 base and villain
Gus that we doubted its genuineness, and
chose not to diyulee>it until we might
wait and see if the real enactment would
correspond with the story told us. Un-

removed from our lips, We proceed to
give. as briefly as possible. full history
of the murderous plot to take the life of
Jefferson Davis:
HOW UNDERWOOD PACKED MS JURY.
Long before the meeting of his Court,
Judge Underwood was secretly devils
ing means BY which he could muster a ju-
ry in this State who would be sure to ex-
ecute his purposes, and find bill of in
dietment against Mr.. Davis This was
the first step in the game, and Under
wood knew the importance Of securing it; !;

the hanging of Mr. Davis This part of
his programme being secured, he goes to
Norfolk and sends his Deputy United
States Marshal "a 9Ir. Duncan to Rich
mond to summon jurymen. list of whom
was furnished the Marshal by Underwood
himself. Upon that list were the follow

James f. Lipscomb, William y Tinsley,

The above list. as will be seen, furnish

wood hinself,) is headed by the name OF
4 Hunnicutt, editor of a dirty negro sheet
published here, called the New Nation
an infamous, nnserupulous old villain
who has been anything and everything
from Whisky-scller to preacher. Several
J, years since he made his first appearance
IN Fredcrielsbure. with the aspiration Of
passing himself off as Baptist preacher
: and journalist. His numerous antics in
dueed the citizens of that town at first t,
imagine that he was crack-brain idiot
But it required not much time to prove
to their utter satisfaction that he wa:
kcraeked all over, and void of all honesty
Iatterly, he removed TO Richmond. where
he has shown himself to be low, stupic

This fellow Tinsley is of good family
? and his connections are very respectable
but they are ashamed Of him. They fee
that he has disgraeed them, and they re
pudiate and tiisown him with the utmos
indignation. A traitor to his kin, hi
friends, his acquaintances, his follow cit
izens and his State, he was justly consid

, atrocious purposes.
