The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes to that paper under date of
August Goth, as follows:
In very few days, [ have excellent authority
for stating, the press will be called upon to
nOunce the release from confinement of jeff Da
Wis, parole or bail, to at all times render him
self amenable to the process of the court, which,
it is expected, will dispose of his next Octo
Der.
The conditional release of Davis is favored by
the Attorney General, and, in fact, by every mem
Der of the Cabinet excepting Stanton. and the
latter is far less emphatic in his opposition since
the exposure by the Herald of the Radical con-
spiracy, and the publication of the correspondence
between his friend and counterpart, Judge Advo-
cate General Holt, and his man Friday, Sanford
Conover, and the suborned witnesses Perhaps
another batch of the correspondence between
these worthless will remove the honorable Secreta-
rvs objections altogether.
The following letter, addressed by Snevel, one
of the suborned witnesses, to Sandford Conover, |
at Washington, will give the public some idea of
the manner in which the national exchequer is
robbed to further the unholy schemes of the Rad
icals and their pet Bureaux

Mr.. SANFORD C0norer:
Dear Sir have been looking for more than a
week for the $500 draft promised me from you or
the Judge, Holt, but have been disappointed
don't think L have been treated exactly on the
square, for Campbell has had more by nearly ST.
600 than have, and yet stretched my conscience
just much as he did, and my testimony, as you
and the Judge both said was just as important
his. don't like to find fault but like still less
to beg or to borrow, [ obliged to, from
Campbell, when I ought to be just well off as
he I don't mean to complain, for l know you
have much to attend to, and can't do everything
at once, but all the rest have been better paid
than myself, [ ought not to be forgot. Please do
not fail to send the draft by return mail, for you
know this is an awful place to be in without mon
ey and your petitioner will ever pray.
Respectfully, yours, -
