This is put down by some as treachery to

sented, to debate the subject a short time
| Speeches being limited, each, to fifteen min

Stevens closed the debate, saying the

they did not recognize the right of the black
man to vote. He, however, trusted that
something on this subject might be done in
future legislation. He took occasion to stig-
Matte the President as a usurper in under
taking to establish civil governments in the
seeding States Under his demand for the
previous question the House concurred in the
Senates amendment to the Constitutional
amendment by vote of 100 to 80. The
! Speaker, therefore, announced the joint reso-
| luton passed.
| Several gentlemen announced the reasons
for the absence of their colleagues, who, they
said, ifpresent, would have voted for the
| proposition.
Mr.. Eldridge, as take-off upon the gen.
tlemen, said that if Messrs. Brooks and Vor-
| hees had not been unseated they would have
voted against the proposition. Oaughter)

had no doubt that if Jefferson Davis was

The Powers of the Circuit Court i'm regard to
the ease Of jefferson Dayis---Sc

WASHINGTON, June 11-Mr. Shea, one of
the counsel for Jefferson Davis, made a mo-
ton before Judge Underwood, in chambers.
in order to test the jurisdiction of the Courts
in Virginia involving the power to hold pris-
oners to bail.
1t being judicial question, with which
the President has nothing to do, Judge I'm
derwood expressed the opinion, which has
always been insisted on by Chief Justice
Chase, that so long as martial law or militia
ry surveillance was enforced in Virginia the
Courts were mere adjunct, and to be used
in aid of the military power. Judge Under
wood declines the issuing of writ of habeas
corpus to bring the prisoner before his court
until he received from the President a relin-
punishment of the accused to the civil author
ities, Davis being now prisoner of war;
Judge Underwood reduced his opinion to
writing, which was delivered to the Presi-
dent by O'Conner.
All action in the premises is suspected I'M
till further orders from the Government.
1t is stated on the authority of one of the
counsel, that no application for bail was
made to Chief Justice Chase i-- aI
Attorney General Speed, Chas O'Connor,
and Ex-Governor Pratt, were among those
present in Underwood's chambers to-day.
Within the last few days Davis friends,
professional and otherwise, have had free adj
mission to him.
The passage of the resolutions by the
House, declaring, in its opinion, that Mr.. Da-
Wis should be kept in custody until tried by
law, was superinduced by the apprehension
that he would be bailed. The rules were sus-
pended for the purpose of passing the resolu-
tions
