Mr.. DAvIs-GESFRAL SCHoFIsLp-UN
rvRwooD. The Washington correspondent,
or the New York Tribune says: Judge
Underwood, ~ Virginia, has been here for
several days IN conference with the Attor-
nev-General respecting the trial Of JEFF
Davis. II Is tho intention OF the court to
have this case tried at the May term, aud
u is understood that Chief Justice Chase
viii preside. The objections which were
made by the Chief Justice in regard to the
military having control Of that State are
likely to continue for some time, under the
reconstruction act. General Schofeld, il,
is said, will shortly address letter to
Chief Justice Chase, in which he will state
that the court can hold its sessions and
proceed with the business, whenever he Is
ready, with perfect security and freedom
Unless this matter is disposed Of in som,
way at the next term Of the court, it is
pretty certain that the President will re-
lease Mr.. Davis"

PEACHMENr.-Mixed upwith the ques-
ton of adjournment yesterday was pro-
position To instruct the Judiciary Commit
tee to be ready with their report on i'm
parchment at the session in July. Pre-
fixed to il was long preamble, a lahored
succession of whereaScs, that virtually
committed the House TO impeachment,
and involved the House in the absurdity
Of declaring that it was dangerous and a
betrayal OF public trust TO adjourn, even
while resolving to adjourn. This preamble
was ably opposed by Mr.. Garfield, who, in
a brief speech, thoroughly extinguished its
principal advocate, the immortal hero of
Fort Fisher. We begin to think that the
way in which the real leaders of the House
handle the General borders on the cruel
National Htelfyencer.

A curious case of alleged fraud has
been developed in the Chicago courts. A
man named Rainforth simulated death and
disappeared. His will was read, leaving
all the property he had to certain persons,
accomplices with him in the fraud, but it
was never proven. A rule of court being
obtained to compel the executors to prove
the will, they confessed that Rainforth was
still alive, and that his death was simula-
ted to defraud several life insurance COM
panies, in which he had effected policies
amounting to $4,000. A long search for
Rainforth ensued, and he was found at the
Dupont House, on Hudson and Laight
streets, New York, on Sunday night

The REGISTRATION IN WASHINGToN.-
The Judges of election concluded their Ia
bors in the second ward yesterday, l20
persons being registered during the day
eighty white and forty colored. This makes
total of 2,275 persons registered ,379
colored and $50 white. The Republican
party will have majority in the ward of
not less than 600, as there are 4s9 more
colored than white voters registered, and
the ward contains a large number of citi-
zens whose political principles are Repub-
lican in their character. This, with the
majority in the first ward, fully 400, gives
the party a majority of 1000 in two wards
of the city. This estimate is decidedly
low, and it is quite certain that better ma
jorities in both wards will be given at the
election in June next.-Chroaic!e.
