TIVE TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
c;,ce military government has been
hSrawn by the proclamation declaring
VIZ NV" rcSstablished throughout all the
pc".u Ch;ef.Justice Chase and associate
S'' .;cc Wavnc have been ready TO join
1s n;,irict Judge In the several districts
't ,n,d;nr the Circuit Court. They could
u. lin ;o;n IN holding them while the military
n" .;rnmcat lasted, but have been always
,,,.y 70 do so as soon as military supervi-
va wiz and control should be disclaimed. In.
,Sa1 the Chief Justice, soon after the
N,ss Of the last term Of the Supreme
Cunt in April last, requested the Pre-
,.,oot 10 issue proclamation, no mat.
'cr how short, but expressly disclaiming
,,,.h Supervision and control by declaring
,rtial law abrogated and the ha5eas cor.
-, restored in all cases Of which the
tied States Court had jurisdiction.
Hal this been done he would have joined
i-3cr Underwood in holding the Circuit
Cunt in May last. Since then an act
Congress has been passed abolishing
Sc Of the circuits, and changing seven
.,rrr> one Of which is that including the
3.lrict Of Virginia, but making no provi-
.eg for new allotment of judges of the
,urrrmc Court to the new circuits. This
Sc> il very doubtful whether those
.ui,cS have any authority TO hold the Cir
...;. Courts, or sit with the district Judges
:, adding them; but il does not affect at
., the authority of the district judges to
rla Them. The Circui; Court will be held
;, Rfrhmond, in November, by Judge I'M
wood. and will doubtless try any case
nI,.h the Government may bring before
