"Bchold I" said he "loiok at these five fingers;
their, origin is common; they cannot be parted
without grave wounds; but one Of them is
long, the others shorter. IF all were alike 4

It is now given out upon authority Of the
Attorney General, that the case of Mr.. Jeifer-
son Davis will be disposed of at the May scs-
sion Of the United States Circuit Court to be
held at Richmond in May. There appears to
be no doubt of this, for the United States Dis
tritt Attorney for Virginia has stated the same
fact. What is doubtful ntou,t it, is whether
Judge, Underwood will retire from the Court.
There is no intimaton as yet chat Chief jus
tice Chase, though assigned to that Circuit,
will consent to preside at the trial, inaslnuch as
Virginia Is nndcra Military Government. L,
