why JeT Davis is Not Tried or Released.
The correspondence published yesterday in
the HERALD between the President and Attor-
ney General Stanbery, with the letter of Mr..
Chandler, the United States District Attorney
for Virginia, regarding the case Of JEFF Davis,
shows why the prisoner has not been tried or
released.
The President notices the fact that "a special
term OF the Circuit Court was appointed for
the first Tuesday OF October chat il, last Tues
day weekly tor the trial Of Jefferson Davis on
the charge of treason; but that II appears now
there will be no session OF that court during
the present month, and that doubts are ex-
pressed whether the regular term, which by
law should commence on the fourth Monday
Of November next, will be held" He then
asks-therc being no good reason, as far az he
is informed, "why the civil courts Of the United
States are not competent to exercise adequate
Jurisdiction within the district or circuit in
which the State Of Virginia ID situatcd'-the
opinion OF the Attorney General as to "what
further steps, IL any, should be taken by the
Executive with view to speedy, public and
impartial trial Of the accused,
Mr. stanbery replies that he 10 "clearly Of

condition Of Virginia to prevent the full
exercise Of the jurisdiction Of the civil
COURTS" that the actual state Of things

Jon PRISrER.--At a printers festival in
Minnesota, some years ago, Judge Goodrich
made a speech, in which he referred the inven;
ton of printing to a niger antiquity than is
usually ascribed to it, He undertook to prove
that the patriarch job knew all about il. by
quoting from him the following passage "oh,
that my words were now written Oh. that
they were printed in book, that they were
craven with an iron pen, with lead in rock
forever!" The Judge considered this undouht-
Cd evidence that Job understood the arts OF
writing, printing, engraving, stereotyping and
lithographing. He mentions them in their
regular order, as they have since been discov-
