Trial of Ienersnn Davis.

Messrs. O'COnor and Shea, counsel for
Jefferson Davis, have gone TO Richmond to
attend the opening there of the L. $. Cir
cult Court this morning; and it is under
stood that they intend to bring the case of
their client to trial if possible. If this be
denied, they will endeavOr to procure his
liberation on bail.
Richmond was evacuated by the Rebel
Government on the night of April ,, 1865.
Lee surrendered on the 9th. JOhnstOn's
final surrender followed on the 26th. The
Presidents proclamation, charging JEFF.
Davis with the assassination of President
Lincoln and Offering 100000 for his cap
ture, appeared May 2. His capture near
Irwinsville, Georgia, took place May 10 !;
and he was delivered at Fortress Monre
May 10,
For more than year, therefore, he has
been in the hands of the Government, and
imprisoned directly under its eye. 1t is
not conceivable that any facts bearing es-
sentally on his guilt or innocence remain
to be discovered or established. The Presi-
dent has officially proclaimed the rebellio n
suppressed and the war at an end. All his
fellow prisoners, including one or more
who were likewise charged with completely
in President Lincolu's assassination, and
rewards offered for their capture, have been
liberated without trial.
1t Mr.. Davis is to be tried-as it seems to
us he ought to be-we can imagine no rea-
son for deterring his trial. If he has been
uniustly proclaimed an assassin, he should
somehow be relieved from the blasting in
culpation. And, if he is not to be tried,
but is merely held until public sentiment
will admit of his liberation, we protest
against the policy as unworthy. The peo-
pie of this country are notchildren. They
do not need to be hoodwinked and played
with. If afull years inquiry has developed
no evidence justiiying an indictment for
any other crime than treason, and if it is
judged not best to try him in Virginia or
some other State for treason, let us stop
boarding and lodging HIM at the public
cost. Even if the object of his imprison-
the % late rebels, raHffHn making gRehhe sole idol Of
faults in their sympathy for his conditlon,
it has ali eadv been fully achieved. Let us
have an end of shams! Either try him or
let him go.-N. Y. Tribune, Juae4. ..

Arrival of Five HUNDRED Fe1iaDs
from Springfield, HlIinOis-Fwen-
Twilight Hundred More Coming
Their Uniforms, &c.

The Gallon train. this morning, brought
in five hundred Eenians, officers and pri-
Yates, from Springfield, Illinois. Some of
the officers wore the United States uniform;
Others the full Fenian dress-green rOunda-
bouts, or frOci coats, with buff or black
pants. Some of the coat sleeves were en-
broidered with gold lace. The officers all
wore side arms, and the proper insignia of
rank upon the shoulder. Many of the
privates were attired in green uniforms.
Two or three banners were borne in the
ranks one of them an American flag. The
men were quiet and orderly, and under the
most perfect discipline. A majority of
them had the bearing of old soldiers.
One man told us that he formerly belonged
to the Eighteenth Army Corps, and
showed us his honorable discharge there
from. The men got out of the cars with
out hustle or confusion, and quickly form
ed, by companies, and were marched to the
northern part of the depot. Our reporter
could CLEAN scarcely a single grain of news
from the men. They were more than
usually reticent. One young fellow, with
the most serious countenance imaginable,
told the reporter that they were all going
to California to work on railroads (D The
officers stated that eight hundred more
Fenians were en- route hither, from Chicago,
that they would probably arrive here this
evening, and that the Springfield party
would await their coming, and proceed
east with them. 1t was likewise stated
that two full regiments of Fenians would
soon start for the seat OF war; from St. Louis,
aud would pass through this city on their
way there. We can learn nothing new
about the Fenians of Cleveland and vicinity.
The Seneca street headquarters of the
Order were thronged last evening by ex-
cited persons, who eagerly discussed the
stirring news from the border. ~

in the success of their cause. They consider
the Fort Erie movement as fent, and
merely an inferior accessory of grand
movement yet to take place. "The thing
is hardly opened, yet" as one of the Order
told us this morning.
The party that arrived this morning, was
amply supplied: with provisions; each man
being provided with we'll filled haversack.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirerl
BUFFALoiJune Sill p. NJ.
The largest and most enthusiastic Fenian
mass meeting is now progressing IN this
city that has ever been held here. Tue
Opera House is literally jammed-Over 1000
people present. The meeting was address,
ed by halt a dozen different speakers,
among them Senator Fitzgerald of Cincin-
natl. While he was speaking, dispatch
was brought in announcing that the Fe-
mans now held as prisoners of war would
be paroed not to take up arms again in
American waters, or on American soil, by
order or the President Of the United States.
The excited and overjoyed crowd rose to
their feet, and threw their hats to the cell
ing with wild yells of Joy ct the announce
ment. This continuous cheering and eX-
citement prevailed for fifteen minutes be-
fore they could be made TO come to order.
Senator Fitzgerald says: 'DO not believe
that the war is over it has not yet hardly
commenced" lie said, sin the next forty
eight hours, if yOn do not hear Sweenys
guns, you will read of it in the kilograms"
He ridiculed the stand made by 25OO or
5000 British against Colonel O'Neills Spar
tan bard of 200 men. He says men that
have been oppressed by English tyranny
for 700 years, are capable of whipping four
and five to one.
lie read dispatch announcing the brutal
treatment of Fenian Lieutenant, who was
killed at Limestone Bridge on Saturday
last. His remains were received in this
city to-day for burial, and it was found he
had been scalped and his breast bones
broken in.
The sale of Fenian bonds was then an
nOunced, and the audience were subscribe
| ing freely when your reporter left the meet

The law-and-order meeting, as it was an
nounced by the Chairman, was a great sue
cess, and such enthusiasm was never before
manifested by any SET of people on any sub

The treatment of the prisoners by the
| United States authorities, by allowing them
| to remain in an open scOw day and night
without shelter, was spoken of by a Fenan
| Surgeon, who had been among them to-
day. He says they are packed in closely in
a dirty scow. He was very harsh on the
authorities here.
Rumors are rife again tonight of Fe-
mans near Port Colborne. The operator at
Fort Erie says that firing can be distinctly
heard, and the people of this city say they
can see the flash of guns in that direction
| The Fenians here are in better spirits than
eyer, and anticipate important news from
the Lower Canada border very soon. Fitz-
gerald is very active and energetic. He is
confident an army of $4,000 men will be in
Canada in less than thirty days.

the fact that Brig. Gen. Tom Harris

o'clock the Sistersville train was seen

wagon drawn by four mules engineered
and conducted by the renowned Nalen'
tine. A large flag, which Col. Lockwood
brought with him for the occasion,
streamed above the vehicle, around
which q half dozen long faced radicals
were closely huddled, seemingly fearful
that the day of Judgment for the radi-
cal party was near at hand.

various parts of the county, soon ar
rived at the "scene of action" The
meeting was soon organized, and the
first speaker (Harlis,) introduced, who
spoke about one hour in his usual stereo.

President johnson, but at the same time
was compelled to differ with him; that
Johnson was too lenlent with the rebels,
that his confidence in them was mis-
placed, and he was being carried away
by their professions of sincerity. Harris
