The Trial OF Jeff. DavistO be Postponed
Until November James P. Brady one
OF his Counsel, etc. ,.ua ~ .rh
WAsIrINGToS, May 27.-It is now
considered certain that the trial of JEFF.
Davis will be postponed ,m June to
the November term Of court. The hot
weather and the possibility of epidcmics
are sufficient to warrant the delay until
later in the season. Neither is it expcc
ted that he will be brought to trial un.
der the Norfolk Indictment. The
Grand Jury simply adjourned, and IS
therefore competent to withdraw this
and substitute any other. The Norfolk
Indictment is good in the absence of any
other, and was drawn in almost exact
conformity with the celebrated Burr in.
dctment but the assistant counsel for
the prosecution will probably ask for its
amendment by adding several additional
points. The 18th of juno, 1864, was
fixed for two reasons first, the ind;cl-
ment must by law be found within three
years OF the alleged crime; and second
ly, the evidence that was brought before
the Grand Jury fixed that particular
day. '."' . ''. ~ '.'
1t is no longer secret that James T.
Brady, of New York, is engaged as
COUNSEL for Jefferson Davis. He arriv.
ed in this city IN The interest Of his eli.
ent, and to-day. had interview with
Mrs. Davis at the residence OF DR.. Mil
Ter, where she is now stopping. Mr..
Davis will be prepared at the June
term Of court, to be held in Richmond,
will insist upon an immediate trial, or
being released upon his own recogni.
zance, o., upon bail. He will also be
prepared to givo bail in any amount de.
manded by the. Government to the ex.
tent Of live or ten millions Of dollars.
His counsel will insist that there is
neither law, nor Justice, nor precedent
for longer delay by tho Government,
nor f"r rofusal to accept bail, should
the prosecutors for any reason ask for
rostponcment Of the case. The opinion
is whispered that tie Government will
ask continuance Of the case on rhe
ground of not being prepared for trial /;
but it is believed that when all the con
sequences of delay are considered, and
the fact once know that ten millions of
dollars bailscan be procured in the North
alone, that the authorities will either
proceed at once in the case or release
him upon his owE recognizance or upon
parole, rather than advertize to the
world such a state of public feeling at
the North, and admit such "vacillation
and imbccility in preparing for this i'm.
portant case, 1t is not unlikely that
Mr.. Brady while here will confer with
the President, the Secretary OF War,
and the Attorney General upon the line
Of procedure to be adopted in the case
lie IS expected to return to New York
tomorrow night y" .-'.' I. 80"
