JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The Impending Trial-The Obstacles In
the Way-A Succinct Statement.

The impending Trial-The Obstacles In
the Way-A succinct Statement.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore San
gives the following additional intelligence
in relation to the trial of this distinguished
State prisoner
THE NEWSPAPERS AND THE TRIAL.
The various speculative paragraphs pub
lished within the past week with reference
to the trial of Jefferson Davis are calculated
to mislead rather than enlighten the pub
lie mind. So far as the President is con-
cerned, Mr.. Davis can be tried without let
or hindrance, whenever Judges Chase and
Underwood, OF either of them, signify their
readiness to take charge of the prisoner,
who is held subject to the proper legal pro-
cess-capais OF habeas corpus.
THE TRUE STATE OF THE CASE.
Of this fact both the judges named and
the attorneys for the prosecution and the
defence are well aware. From the highest
authority learn that there is no conflict of
opinion between the attorneys as to the
proper course to pursue. All agree that
whenever the court is ready to try Mr..
Davis, he will be delivered at once TO the
custody of the United States Marshal of
Virginia, to whom writ will be issued at
the proper time, directing that the prisoner
be brought before the court. There are
but two obstacles in the way now to the
trial of Mr. Davis in October. The first is
found in doubt among the lawyers, and
in this the judges are understood to partic-
ipate, as to the egality of trial in Octo-
Der session, because it is not a regular term
Of the court.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
On account of this doubt it is proposed
not to bring Mr.. Davis to trial until the
regular term in November. SO far as Judge
Chase is concerned, the same objections are
urged by him to presiding in the trial as
We're mentioned by the Chief Justice last
spring, viz That he does not think it is
explicitly understood that martial law is
abrogated in Virginia, and hence he has
advised the President to issue another pro-
clamation making it clear that civil law is
supreme in that State
THE PEACE PROCLAMATION.
Judge Chase himself interprets the late
peace proclamation as the President does.
viz: That it abrogates martial law, but on
account Of the misinterpretation put upon
the proclamation by various military com
mandants, the Chief Justice insists on an
other proclamation. The foregoing en-
braces all we have of an authoritative char
acter with regard to the Davis trial. One
of the objections raised by the civil officers
of the United States Court to taking Gus
tody of Mr.. Davis was that they had no
safe place to keep the prisoner
10 this the President responded that Mr.. |
Davis could be kept in Fortress Monroe, |
under the control OF the United States |
Marshal, with the aid of the military.

&c. DOckery Declines.

We had not supposed for an instant, that
Gen Dockery would accept the nomina-
ton rendered him by the little caucus
which assembled lately in the SttnGard
office, but thought he was only mentioned
in this connection to enable certain 50 uu-
mistakably p0t'iotic politicians to make up
their record, in order to secure Federal
patronage in the event of q Radica. Ad-
ministration succeeding that of President
Johnson Mark our word, that a majority
of the caucus and the Executive Commit
tee, expect to secure appointments or reap
the benefit of the proscriptive clause of the
Howard amendment.

Ge1a Dockery and the Committee
RALEIGH, Sept, 81, 1866
To the Hon. 1ltred Dockery:
DEAR SIR The undersigned were appointed a
committee, by the Union Meeting held i'll Raleigh
on yesterday the goth. to inform You of yoir
nation for the office of Governor OF North Carroll
na and to request YOUR acceptance of the same.
You were selected without dissenting voice
the most suitable citizen to represent the Union
sentiment of North Carolina. The restoration Of
the Union felt by the meeting to be the para
mount, all-absorbing question Of the day. We
have doubt you concur with us in this view,
and we trust the resolutions adopted by the meet
ing will receive your approval.
With your assistance at the helm, the ship Of
State though surrounded by breakers, Oh every
side, will yet weather the storm, and reach the
only safe haven for her people the great nation
al government founded by Washington.
Sincerely trusting, sir, that you will accept the
nomination thus rendered, and devote what time
is left to canvassing public questions have the
honor to be, with high respect
Your obedient servants,
