spoBdsnt, writing to q western paper under date Of
tie 27lh bas tie following in relation to the trial of
Mr. Davis:
There seems 10 be no probability that the trial Of
jeff Davis will take place at the adjourned term OF
Judge Underwood's conrt which meets at Richmond n
week from tomorrow. The requirements Of chief
Justice Chase that martial law shall be set aside before
he could preside has not been meet and is not likely
to be at present. Moreover, judge Underwood himself
has declared within three four days that nothing
will be done next week than to call the case and
by consent Of counsel both sides, put it over till
next fall.
