The Capture of Jefferson Davis.

1t appears from the records of the
War Department that, with the excep.
ton of the Presidents proclamation,
none but verbal orders were given for
the capture Of Jefferson Davis. Major
General Wilson says that Lieutenant
Colonies iamdon and Pritchard are Ell
titled to great credit for the zeal and ac.
tivity with which they conducted the
pursuit, and that is simple justice to
these worthy officers to remark that
they were ignorant of the reward at the
time of the capture. Colopel Pritchard
says 1t was SO dark that he could not dis.
tInguish the uniforms.
Nothing is said in the narrative about
his being disguised

es OF truth. An attempt to filter it out
often proves abortive, because it will
have sediments OF falsehood attached to
1t. It's only when the storm of pas.
sion has subsidized, and when those ele.
ments again become clearer, that truth
appears. 1t then rises spontaneously,
clear and convincing.
We are lead into this train Of thought
from reading the above notice ofthe CAP.
ture of Mr. DAVIS. We all know how
keenly we telt the sarcastic glori6cation
of the Northern press over that capture,
when it asserted that JEFFERSON DAVIS
was caught clad in female attire. Tt is
very gratifying to find that although no
positive assertion is yet made as to the
manner i'll which the ex President was
dressed, yet all the circumslantial evi.
dence leans to refulation of the charge
that his dress was effeminate.
But there is another thought. Was

is one fact OF very Significant bearing.
1t is that, although all the published
editions of the Constitution close with
"Done in Convention by the unanimous
consent ofthe States present" g., yet it
1t an historical fact that only 80 dele.
gates out of 65 signed the Constitution,
and that 10 delegates appointed to the
Convention never attended. This then
corrects the popular opinion that all our
toreiathers were unanimous in their sun

Indeed the whole delegation Of only
three States signed the Constitution, aud
those were Pennsylvania, Delaware and
South Carolina. And this too in face
of the acknowledged understanding that
the government formed was to be
strong one.

THE TRIAL OF MIR. DAVIS.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Therc are
said to be serious doubts to-day
whether Mr.. Chase will consent to try
the case of Mr.. Davis for treason, even
now that Congress has opened the way
for him to Go so. Rumor SAYS that he
prefers ratherto postpone the trial for
some months yet, which postponement
the President is known to be decidedly
adverse to. The counsel for Davis are
said to be all ready to proceed with the
trial, and the President himself has on
several occasions expressed desire that
it should proceed with the least possible
delay.
