jeff Davis Trial Postponed till october.

RICHMOND, Va, June 6.-There was quite
large attendance in the court room to-day
Messrs. Reed, Brady and Brown, counsel for Da-
Wis were present. Mr.. Hennessy, asst. dist. at
torney moved the postponement of the trial Of
Jefferson Davis till the first Tuesday of October
Among the reasons given by Mr.. Hennesey for
making his motion to postpone the trial of JEFF
Davis to-day, were that Mr.. Davis is not now
and never was, in the custody of this court but
is held by the United States government as q
state prisoner, and if be were in custody of this
court the at 'orney general could not now come
here and try the case, and Mr.. Davis is in deli.
cate health it would be cruelty in this hot and
unhealthy season, to subject him to protract-
ed trial.
Mr.. Brady one of the counsel for Mr.. Davis,
said the reason his client not in custody of the
court, was that no copy of the indictment has
been served upon him nor any list of witnesses,
nor any other act done required by the statute,
still he anxious for speedy trial; lift was
hot here it was worse in Fortress Monroe.
Judge Underwood said Chief Justice Chase,
who was to preside over this trial, had named
the LIST Tuesday in October when it would be
most convenient for him, and the attorney gen.
eral had indicated that he could not now give
the case that attention which its Importance de-
msnded.
The motion for continuance granted by
Judge Underwood, and tho court was then ad-
journed till the first Tuesday in October next.

THE STEVENS PLAN.


''Paftniuat naorstes, ',aseeter ridiculss mas -
Thad. Stevens, the Boanerges of fanaticism has
presented to congress another ssplan" for pre-
venting or delaying the reorganization of civil
governments at the south.
There is In all the propositions that emanate
from this hardheaded PENNSYLVANIA bigot one
striking element-consistency Thew are all
alike ungenerous; all at war with the recogniz-
ed and established policy of our political system
all impracticable. From the moment when the
Cumberland philosopher sent a broad guffaw
over the country by his anomalous theories Of
finance, to the present time, he has suggested
nothing that could, by any possibility, or with
the least degree of justice, be adopted and ap-
piled to the legislation of the country.
Mr.. Stevens is something of wag. he has a
grim way of joking, which reminds one of the
quilps of Jaffeur at the banquet of death, the
naots of Fourchet in the chamber of terror
Therefore, in submitting scheme which cannot
be regarded otherwise than as denial of the ex-
istence of states, he labels it, with sardonic
| popularity, scheme to facilitate the recognition
Of state thus consigned to political hades.
| 1t will be seen that this beautiful plan embod-
| les the pestient theory, that by the criminal
of their citizens the states committed suicide
| affirms the denationaliZing dogma of secession
| that those states were really out of the Union,
and their relations to it destroyed proposes to
| admit whole race, without condition pre-
paration, into the full privileges of citizenship
| excludes almost an entire population from the
franchise; disposes of the subject of state juris-
diction by consolidating despotic power in the
federal government, and radically subverts every
cardinal feature upon which our republican sys-
| tenn has heretofore been conducted.
| The entire arrangement is worthy of its au-
| thor, and bristles with his characteristics. As
| q specimen of monomaniac exercise and fanatic
| impracticability it viii have its place in some
| future museum of political curiosties. But it
can hardly be possible that it viii ever become
| even much as topic of serious debate. For
the majority of congress, who are earnestly de-
sirous of facilitating the work of reorganization,
can look with no other sentiment than aversion
/ upon this manifestation of temper which would
| postpone reconstruction until the day of doom.

It is stated that of the classes in the Wes-

cent joined the army-a patriotic record, GER

that while professional bullies, and "roughs"
generally the men of muscle and buster,
made but sorry figure in the war, college
students and merchants clerks-commonly
of light physique and peaceful habits, proved
excellent fighting men. So much for the gu
