as yet Incomplete but far as they have gone bey
90 not result in confirming the report that the Cana

pairing bill which will soon be reported giving to
the widow of soldier sailor, in addition to her

There is no doubt that the Government would at

bunal.

JEFF. DAVIS.
Judge TnderwOOd's Refusal to Release
Him on Bail.

In the matter of the application forthe release of
ferson Davis on bail.
1have considered the application made by Mr. Shea
of counsel, to admit Jefferson Davis to bail
Under the circumstances, the application might
have been more properly made to me when recently
holding the Circuit Court at Richmond
But under the law it may doubtless be made also
in vacation, and will briefly state myviews of it and
my conclusions:
In the States which lately in active rebellion
military jurisdiction is still exercised and martial law
enforced.
The civil authorities. State and Federal, have been
required or permitted to partially their re-
spectve functions, bnt the President as commander
ln-chie stH controls their action SO tar as he thinks
such control necessary to pacfcation and
In holding the District and Circuit Courts of Vir-
slnia. have uniformly recognized this condition.
Jefferson Davis was arrested under proclamation
OF the President, charging him with completely in
the assassination of the late President Lincoln He
has been bed ever since. and is now held as a mill
tary prisoner He is not and never has been in the
custody of the marshal for the District of Virginia
and he Is not, therefore. within the power Of the
court.
While this condition remains, no proposition for
bail can be properly entertained and do NOT wish
to indicate any probable action under the circum-
stances. JOHN C, UNDERWOOD
District Judge.
