THE JEFFERSON DAVIS TRIAL


The Opening Of the Court--Charge Of Judge
Underwood 10 the Jury-The Trial Pest.
Poned TO March %, 1865.
RICHMOND, Nov. 26.-Judge Chase did not
arrive this morning as expected, but at IL
O'Clock the Court met There was a detach.
ment of cavalry IN the park. The court house
ia densely crowded The grand jury wee
brought 10, and oil the counsel OF Mr.. DAVIS
were present except Mes.rs Bredy and Reid.
Judge Underwood took hs seat at TX
O'Clock and the grand jury was sworn 10. In
his charge Judge Underwood regretted the
that ID party or class prejutices, should in
fuence her deliberations The offence con-
pscied with the rebellion claimed their first
attention, and If Il be brought to them know
fngiy mat any one had commisted treason, ne
must be convicted, unless he has been sp eli.
ally pardoned by the President or by general
amnesty. He recited the law and penait es for
Etsson. He said the violation of the re venue
laws would claim their attention, and they
should be unsparing In the cases OF public Of
Ulcers engaged IN IL, IL any should be so fonnd.
UP TO noon no steps had been taken in the
Davis case, AID Mr.. Davis has not yet ap.
peared 10 the court About thirty ladies are
preseDt as spectators.
Mr.. Evarts, for the Government, said the
Davis case some day during this term. One
consideration in fixing the day was the time
when Judge Chase could attend here, and the
Government proposed 10 name day after the
ad9ournment OF the Supreme Court for this
trial, when Judge Chase could sit with Judge
Underwood. Mr.. Evarts suggested the fourth
Wednesday Of March.
Mr.. O'Connor said the personal con yenienc CO
OF Mr.. Davis would have been promoted II the
trial bad taken place in May last, and it
would be very convenient now, bat his couu.
sci would agree to the proposition OF MIR
Evarts. He thought the presence of Judge
Ohaae would be beneficial, not alone to the In :
terests OF the accused, but to all interests
Judge Underwood said the arrau cement pro.
posed BY the Government was agreeable to the
Court, and particularly because the Court de-
sired that Judge Chase shouId sit upon the
case. 1t was due to the defendant that two
JUDGES should SIT On the case in order that an
appeal might be taken on disputed questions,
and the csee carried up BY the defendant to q
higher court. The Judge agreed TO fix the aOth
OF March for trial, and on application OF Mr..
O'Conner to extend Mr.. DAVIS bail bond until
that time, and further agreed that IL Judge
Chase could not preside then TO extend the
leave OF absence until the term folio wing
The order OF the extension or the leave OF
absence OF Mr.. Davis, and fixing the 22d of
march for his trial, was entered by order OF
the Judge, and the Davis trial ended for Tits
term.
Mr. . Davis did not appear IN court, nor did
the witnesses for the Government Three
witnesses who came into court were recog.
nized to appear at the next rrial. They were

NENSIRIF ADNIIE

At The meeting OF the Lincoln Co. operative
building Association last night Mr. Cross nan
gave some very sensible advice 10 the color ed
people in recommending them 10 20 to farming
IN Virginia or Maryland, rather than to lounge
aooutthe city living from hsud to mouth. The
truth IL that the number here, both black and
white, seeking employment - very much in
excess Of the demand This ts especially 50
IN the case Of the coIored population drawn
mere during the war, and who still linger'
though there is next 10 nothing for them to do,
and the consequence is that numbers of them
are falling IN TO bad practices rs is shown by
the police records. While there is this excess
OF colored labor in the city the surrounding
couLry Is greatly IN want of this labor, and
large tracts OF land are almost une cultivated in
this immediate vicinity from this cause
IL 10 the duty OF every true friend Of the
eolored man 10 labor TO rectify this ab.
normal condition of things, which Is Keeping
the eolored people from honest labor and train-
ing them 70 habits of Incidence and vice in our
city. Another consideration not 70 be sighted
il the fact that, by Withdrawing these coiored
