Cnderwood's charge TO the grand
jury on Tuesday. May stb, clearly
sets forth their duty to act fearlessly,
even though their fidelity might
bring them enemies and murderous
assaults, as had been the case with a
previous grand jury. In this con.
ncction. he adverted to his charge to
the grand jury preceding them, and
said he would not express himself
now, as he believed they all knew
the sentiments he had expressed.
Since then peace had been declared,
the writ Of habeas corpus restored Z,
recently President johnson had ex-
pressed a desire that no such subor-
dinates as Wirz should be brought
to punishment for treason, but that
the chief of traitors should be tried !;
it was against these leading offend.
ers that he would have them act
aud punish the principals and not
the tools. 1t had been decided that
such offenders must he tried in Vir-
ginia. At the North there had been
much complaint of the tarliness
shown in bringing them to t'ial.

ments against all the leader in this

Judge Underwood announced
that he thought Justice Chase would
be in attendance to preside in June.
The grand jury then retired and on
Thursday brought in an indictment
against jeff: Davis, when Judge Un.
derwood adjourned the court to
Richmond.
The Jem. Davis lndlctment.
CHICAGO, May 1O.-The indict~
ment OF jeff. Davis and the reported
preparations for trial attract very
little attention, and excite no COM
ment. The New York papers up
to Saturday, 18th, have no editorial
remarks on the subject. The fol-
lowing is the text OF the indictment

cago Tribune:
