WASHINGTON. August 90, 1856.

In very few days. have excellent authority for stat
ing the press win be called upon to the
lease from confinement OF JcT Davis. parole ball.
all times render himself amenabc the process Of
the court, which is expected will dispose of his
ncs; October. AS his release this condition is now
probable it proper to advert the risk Of appear
ing cgostica TO the agency to which the coming event
may be chiefly ascribed
Tnn EXPOSE
In claiming for the HERALD through its humble
respondent tho credit OF cectng this benevolent design
the part of the Executive, IL is not intended to make
light OF the jealous efforts OF the devoted wife and dis.
ngushed counsel of the prisoner but may safely be
asserted that neither tho tears cnrcaties of Mrs
DAVIS nor the arguments influence OF Mr.
oConor capable Of producing the eas,
effect on the President long there
existed the slightest grounds for believing that Mr. Davis
was accessory to the murder OF Mr.. Lincoln. The
pos1rc by the HERALD OF the conspiracy convic. Davis
by subo.ning witnesses and Of the fraudulent proceed
ngs of the Judiciary Committee, led the President to
direct inquiry be privately made into those subjects
which resulted in satisfying his mind that not only
had atrocous conspiracy been concocled by certain
radicals to hang Davis order to complete the humia
on of those represented by him during the rebellion,
and continue rather revive with increased intensity,
their auimosiy to the people Of the North and thus pre-
tho perfect restoration Of the Union, but that there
really existed evidence of Davis compllciy in the
assassination and grounds for doubling his cntre
ccncc The exposure the time encouraged renewed
efforts tho par. of Mr. OCono and induced tLe Pres
dent to order medical inquiry INTO the physical CONDITION
Of Davis the result and report whereof leave 20
doubt that the health of the prisoner rapidly decln
ing Thus il may Justly be claimed that through the
exposure by the HERALD OF the villanous conspiracy Of
the radicals the President has been placed ia position
to perform act Of magnanmity, not to sayjushcc,
which will reflect credit himself and the government
and prevent the further comparison OF on beautiful
Fortress Monroe to the Bastilc and s.. He'osa.
The conditional release of Davis IS avgted by the At.
torney General and in fact, by every member OF the
Cabinet excepting stanton, and thc later Is far less en-
phatio his opposition since the exposure BY the k
RAID OF the radical consacy and the publication OF tho
correspondence bos~een his friend and counterpart,
Judge Advocate General Holt and his man Friday
Sanford Cosovcr and the suborncd witnesses Perhaps
another latch Of the correspondence between these
wor;hss will remove the honorable Secretary obJec-
toss altogether.
