thing but contempt for the miserable
faction Of Southern Radicals who call
themselves Union men, They are
the very scum Of Southern society
without political influence anywhere,
whining for the rewards for which they
bartcred away what little manhood
they ever had, and writhing under the
contempt Of the people they betrayed.
They get no sympathy from the man,
hood of the North, for however the in
telligent mind Of this section may have
viewed the late conflict, they have no
admiration for the poltroons who, when
their country was invaded, refused to
strike a blow In its defence. They are
outside the pale ofsympathy and re-
spcct, both in their own section and
throughout the country, and nothing
that they may do a secure them a
shadow of either. But if they want TO
hold a convention, w say, let them go
ahead. They arc too insignificant to
do any harm too weak to enforce any
thing they may urge. The country

and showing just how strong or how
weak they are. We do not believe they
are strong enough to do anything but

no more effect on him than q hailstorm

Hopes of n Speedy and Fair Trial
for Mr.. Davis, or a Release on
Bail. .
New YORK WOrld.J -"-|
FORTRESS MONROE, Aug 2.


Fortress MONROE, Aug 2.
Great honor is due to Representa-
tive Rogers, from the Judiciary Com
mittee of Congress, for the bold and
lofty stand he has taken, single and
alone, in making his minority" re-
port upon the case Of Jefferson Davis.
fIe did not fear the wrath Of his com
peers, but told the truth, and submitted
his labors to the public, which loudly
approves his action. That there is a
great Importance to be attached to Mr..
Rogers report, is evident from the
fact that the eminent counsel Of Mr..
Davis, Charles OConnor, Esq, has
arrived here, and been closeted for
several days with his client. Only he,
Mr.. Davis, and the massive granite walls
of casemate No. T., second row, front
Of Fortress Monroe, are aware of the
purport of this close conference
There is, however, this much to au-
cured from Mr.. O'Conner's appearance
here at this particular juncture. He
must have received some assurance
from the powers that be, that JEFF. Da-
Wis will soon have a fair trial or be re-
leased on heavy bonds. Certain it is
that great influence is at work with
President johnson, to interpose his
strong arm in this case; and while
such men a Mr.. Greeley and other
noted Republicans are willing to be.
come bondsmen for Davis, why should
the Radical party dissent from grant
ing the unfortunate captive his freedom
on parole? This very day there is a
capital of S5,00O,OO ready to be
pledged for MI. Davis, to appear either
for trial or be on his good behavior.
A few more weeks will demonstrate
how far the Radical Secretary of War
dare yet to go, and when the Supreme
Court of the United States for this Dis
trict again convenes he can still retain
his prisoner under the control of the
mighty bayonet.
Mr.. O'Conner leaves tonight for
New York, when he will lay the result
of his consultation with Mr.. Davis be.
fore Mr.. James T. Brady and his other
colleagues, and they together will work
on that for the defence of Mr.. Davis.
