Jeff. DAVIS AND THE ASSASSINATION con-
sP1RACY-sTARTLINd REVELATIONS.
A New Yorker of the name of Camp
bell has Just given to the world some queer
revelations concerning the testimony lately
adduced BY the Judiciary Committee of
the House tending to implicate jeff. Davis
in the assassination plot. He shows that
gross system of frauds and perjury has
been resorted to to prove Davis and others
conspirators in the matter, and backs up
his assertion by facts that startle all who
are familiar with the testimony. II seems
that many of the witnesses testified under
assumed names, and that no such persons
as the ostensible and recorded witnesses
exist. In addition to this, he states that
when Mr.. Conory, who was the principal
witness or detective. in the case, was
asked to proceed to New York and pro-
cure some corroborating evidence of his
own statements, which ne had previously
volunteered to furnish, that he gave the
officer who was sent with him the slip IN
New York; has actually run away, as is
supposed, to avoid prosecution for per-
! Jury, and has not been heard from by the
officer or committee for several weeks.
Other witnesses have come forward ana
confessed to having sworn falscly.-Ne'o
York Herald.
MR.. DAVIS CASE.
Mr.. Horace Greeley and Mr.. Scheli, OF
New York, are still here Qlth), and have
been actively engaged in urging upon the
proper authorities the release OF Jefferson
Davis upon bail, which they offer IN any
sum, or by parole. Mr.. Schell stated to-day
that the subject would be considered In
the Cabinet tomorrow, Tuesday, when II
would probably be determined. lfnot, he
should return home. There can be no
doubt that the President and great ma
iority of the public desire that Jefferson
Davis should be released from confinement,
if he cannot be tried. The question now
is, how can it be done? There seems to be
no way that will not virtually, at least, de-
volve the responsibility of the act upon
the President. The Presidents political
opponents desire that he will release Mr.
Davis-by parole or pardon-so that they
can aSSail him for encouraging treason

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
The President is known to have expressed
the wish that Congress would pass, as con.
current resolves, the supplementary bills
declaring the powers of Congress under the
constitutional amendment. 1t is looked
upon as a most cheering omen.-GreeleyS
paper.
THE VIRGINIA FREEDMEN.
A memorial signed by one hundred
freedmen of Charlottesville has been pre-.
scented to General Howard by committee
of the signers. 1t asks for continued mill
tary protection, and recites that they are
deprived of reasonable safeguards against
bodily injury by their former masters, and
that Generals Steedman and Fullerton
during their soiourn in Charlottesville
consulted with forty ex-rebels.and not one
