that he can he taken into civil custody on

Underwood can then bail him ifhe chooses.
The proceedings regarding bail will be

| of war and revolution over the land dld not

plctc, and he mumbled ii during all the
existence Of the Davis rule. When the
United States came back again, Elicit was
once more in his old place, and now he
cries "Oycz," "Oycz," for Judge Under

any one.
THE RICHMOND PRESS,
this morning, were much mildcr in their
references to Undcrwood's charge ycStcr-
dav than had been anticipated. The
Whiq was bitter, but the others more con
temptuous than anything else. The Judge
is OF opinion that his threatened indict-
ments have had a restraining influence
upon them, in which he may perhaps he
| right, but is more likely to be wrong. 1t
may bc that they have determined to cXcr-
! else discretion until after the departure OF
the Judge and the grand jury, but 1t is the
more likely that they have said all they

The validity of the Civil Rights bill has
