ington special says:
In previous dispatch stated there was good
reason to believe that in a few days jeff Davis
would be released parole or bail ! received
my information from high official who possessed
excellent facility for learning the views and nten
lions such subjects. The announcement ere.
ated quite hutter among the politicians, and
several very influential ones, favorable to the pres
ident's restoration policy, venturned to call OIL
him to ascertain IL the announcement well
founded. They urged the president TO defer any
action in the matter until after the fall elections
mInding him that he was already accused o.
sympathizing with the rebels and abusing the par
donng power and assuring him that the release Of
the mead rebel ut this time would be handled by
the radicals in the present campaign with powerful
effect aud greatly impair ths chance OF the part,
now ia6orng TO elect to office men who would
ST. pport his (the preslde policy This have
On undoubted authority. The president replied
that many distinguished and loyal gentlemen iron
both the north and the south had appealed to him
for the release of Davis nd presented several con
sideratons which made favorable impression or
his mind why Davis should not be held longer IL
confinement, ana that he had said TO them that i
from any fault of the court or the proper officer;
of the government Davis should not be brought to
trial in October he would, not from any reason
then known to him, deem it his duty to hold the
prisoner for another term but giving the friend
of Davis this assurance, he had not anticipated
the action of the court and had not appointed AM
time for Davis release, in the event Of his not be
ing tried He had from the first desired TO have
Davis tried for treason and had used such infu
ence and authority as he possessed to have tbs
trial take place at early day, but that il there
should be further delay in bringing the trial ht
believed that neither the interests OF the country
nor his duty demand that he keep the prisone
longer in custody he also stated tina
he was enabled to perceive that release o
Davis on parole or bail would furnish
the radicals with valuable weapon, bu
he believed the masses (if there SHOULD
be further unnecessary delay in bringing
him to trial) would approve of his being con
ditionally released.
1t is well understood in the best informed
official circles that Davis will not be tried q
the October torn, SO that his relsase may bt
| looked for soon after, but not till after tha
| time; and that Mr.. Reed, one of Davis coun
sci, had been authorized by the attorne,
general to say to his client that the govern
ment would direct his immediate release OF
condition OF his leaving the country never t,
return, and that Davis indignantly rejected
the offer.
