WHO Is TO RLAME FOR DAVIS RELEASE.
Judge Underwood and District Attorney
Chandler are not to blame for to-day work.
They were ready to try Davis. William N.
Evarts, however, who is Stewards particular
friend, and who, in connection, with Andrew
johnson, Attorney General Stanbery, Seward,
and Greeley, arranged the whole affair at
Washington, said the Government was not
ready to proceed with the trial. There was
nothing left for Judge Underwood but to
release Davis on bail. The Administration
at Washington is responsible for the whole
affair. While the trial was in progress
Judge Underwood received the following
despatch from Washington: I" Beware Of
Greeley. Remember Libby prison ,Ander-
sonville, and Belle Isle. Millions are look
ing on, and expect you to do your duty.n
The result of to days business viii be the
final release of Davis. Nobody ever expects
to see him brought to trial. His sureties
are willing to pay forfeit of bond ifhe leaves
the country. It is only one hundred thou
sand dollars, instead Of half million. So
ends the last act of the shareholders rebell-
ion.
Horace Greely has all of sudden become
quite a lion with the rebels They have in
yited him to speak tomorrow evening on
the state of the country, in the African Meth.
odlst Church, and he has consented. It ID
probable they will give him public din
ner.

among the people of Richmond.
Part of the witnesses for the Common
wealth were examined and the case contin-
ued st sf ID
Mr.. Hayward claims that really be was
counselling his hearers to refrain from vio-
lence. On the occasion that he spoke the
audience was very much excited and his
allusion to holding high carnival, when
Judge Underwood should leave Richmond,
meant a rejoicing for their new privileges Of
sitting on federal juries, riding in street cars,
and the like.

aminer, testified as follows
He reached the church after the meeting had
commenced, and be suggested to d.. Brock
to get notes from Mr.. Cowardin, the Dis
match reporter, while he would report what
Hayward had to say. The first part of the
speech he did not pay much attention to-
He only noticed that he was about to speak
of the blacks as negroes, but he corrected
himself before he had gotten the word more
than half way out Of his mouth. Witness
head him caution the audience against vio-
lence while their white friends are in the city
and ask them if they would endanger the
life of the illustrious" Underwood. He
also said. "When he leaves, you may
loId high carnival, and do what you
Hease." A reporter near by suggested that
hose words ought to be placed in : c.pi
!. ,als" and witness so marked them. Wit
ness corroborated the report made by Mr..
N1x, Is~. L.
which he then read. The report was in
ubstance, and in some instances in word,
ike that in the Dispateh. Witness was .
outhern man. He did not agree with Hay
wood as to the negro being better than. .
White man as general thing, though he
new great many negroes whom he
hought better than some white men,

,ound in Bosting," or some place far away
from Richmond

He heard Hayward say that he hoped no
"iolence woufd be offered Judge Under.
vood: and ifit was, he hoped the coIored
eople would stand by him and protect
I'm. Witness heard him say that. aftei
Underwood left, they might hold high car
ival. Did not think he meant ANYTHING b,
his. He thought he meant that they shoulf
.old high carnival on account Of the glo
ious reaction that had taken place. HI
meant by glorious reaction, the granting o
he privilege of suffrage and the right b
erve upon the Grand Jury, after 30 man
ears Of oppression. ..el isf.i
