Reply to the Application for Bail.

Reply TO thc Application for Bail.
AS part Of the record of the trial
of Mr.. Davis, we subjoin the reply of
Judge Underwood to the application
for release of the prisoner on bail:
l have considered the application
made by Mr.. Shea, of counsel, to all
nit jefferson Davis to bail
Under the circumstances, the appli-
cation might have been more properly
made to me when recently holding
the Circuit Court at Richmond.
Bat, under the law, it may doubt
less be made also in vacation, and l
will briefly state my views of it and
my conclusions:
In the States which were lately in
active rebellion, military jurisdiction
is still exercised and martial law en-
forced.
The civil authorities, State and
Federal, have been required or per-
mltted to resume, partially, their re-
spective functions, but the President,
as Commanderin- Chief, still controls
their action so far as he thinks such
control necessary to pacitication and
restoration.
In holding the District and Circuit
Courts of Virginia, 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 held ever since,
and is now held us military pri-
soner. He is not and never has been
i'll 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 in
dicate any probable action, under the
circumstances.

District Judge,

4 Bri,r: Bit of Good A Adviec.

= ,4-r-
The Soathe,7s Cuaipasor publishes a
letter from farmer seventy-eight
years old, who is managing q farm in
Georgia Of $50 acres. In his letter is
this piece of wholesome advice to
young men-particularly applicable
at this time: a.
ssYoung men of the South, consi-
der that a great change has come over
onr domestic affairs. Let an old man
tell you to give up your double-ba
relied shotgun and pointer dog.
Don't think yourself too good to
work; go to ploughing and hoeing,
OF to some good mechanical trade;
stick to either. I can tell you, by my
own experience, that o hard, smutty
pair. of hands can and viii put clean
dollars into the pockets. The men
working regularly, .eitherin shop or
field, enjoy life and rest more than
those in any other employment, and
far more than those who do nothing. 7"
This is the advice Of age and expe-
rience, from man who is practically
exemphfying the theory he recon-
mends to others Should this meet
the eye of any youth of vigorous
health, and the cap fits him, let him
wear it with grace, and betake him
self with good will to performing his
part in retrieving the losses of the
past, and laying foundation for a
future fortune by following this
worthy old mans advice.

NO. 81.

Tho people would cheer Grant, and the
President would come out and bow to
them. When he got up to Columbus
Grant could stand it no longer, He
came out and said to the reporters,
"Gentlemen, have never sympathiZed
with him; l have never approved his
policy; came along with him because
I was invited" lie was invited by his
commanding officer, and he could not
do otherwise than accept. And there
was that brave old sea-dOg, Farragut,
he went along, too. Well, he took Oc-
casion mt the banquet at New York, at
the earliest opportunity, to explain how
he came there. Why" said, he L
have been taught to believe that the in
vitatiOn of my commanding officer was
equivalent to an order" When Farra-
gut got to Cleveland some impudent
Radical asked him Il question. Said
he: 81 would like to know whether you
are n johnson man." "Why," said he,
ITO be sure am. He is my command
ing officer. You ask any subordinate
officer under me whether he is u Farra-
gut man or not"
Yet these men were not for him.
They went with him, but they were not
of him. They will not support his poll
cy. But if they do, if Grant, with all
his great popularity and influence,
should come out in behalf of the Presl-
dents policy, he would only be ground
TO powder. The cause is greater than
any man. I have great confidence in
the result. l don't despair of tho Re
public. l believe the great cause will
yet triumph, that the Union will be
equal protection for all, and that our
country will then>start upon IL career of
prosperity and power such as it has
never before known.

The undersigned learns with much satisfac-
tion that William S. Kirk, Esq, Cashier of the
National Bank Of West Chester, who was In
snred by him in 1.-THE Travellers Insurance
Company OF Hartford" while he was agent
for that company, has been promptly paid com =
pensation for injury resulting from acci-
den: sustained by him while in the act of
mounting his horse to take a pleasure ride.-
The principle Involved in this case ia identical
with that upon which one of the rulings of
that company was based, and compensation
refused, as voluntary exposure to danger"
and which induced the undersigned to relin-
qush its agency, and inssmuch as he was
drawn, though reluctantly, in giving publicity
to his reasons for that resignation, he feels
that 1t would be doing no more than Justice
to the company to acknowledge in the same
manner the fairness and pramptness with
which they have adjusted Mr.. Kinks claim
Mr.. Kirk had q rib fractured while mountin z
his horse, being thrown forward by the NOV :.
ing OF the horse, bringing his side agsint the
pommel of the saddle This injury prevented
his attending to his usual business for about
a week aud half, and he was paid nearly
twice the amount that he had paid for his
whole years insurance, while that still re-
mains AS good against any future accidents as
il he had been paid nothing; aud besides this
the insurance carries its benefits beyond the
limit of the policy for any accident occasi oned
though but an hour before the policy expires,
and though it is never renewed. Who iu view
OF these facts can doubt the great advantages
derived from Accident Insurance,

his bed for the honor OF the town, prostratsd
with ease the challenger and is even said to
have thrown him over the fence. He was
rather a worldly man, and was in the haoit of
letting money ut rates considerably exceeding
tue legal six per cent. A deputation of the
church, headed by one of its good descons,

which had become no slight scandal. Gstting

hesitatingly and mildly for they feared his

call, spoke Of the current rumors of his re-
