The n. Y. Herald's Richmond special
saws: 1t has now become definitely settled
that jeff. Davis trial will take place at the
November term of circuit court here. Judge
Chase has expressed his intention of presid-
ing, and if the rebel ex-president does not
fail to come to time on his bail. Questions
of great importance will arise which will re-
quire all the diplomacy and ability of the
chief Justice to evade and decide. The opin-
ion is expressed that, allowing Davis will
appear, the trial will be shirked by the gov
eminent and the prisoner win again be set
at liberty on BAIL There is reason to con-
tradict such an erroneous impression. Indi-
cations lead to the belief that the trial will
be proceeded with, and a mass OF the most
| important evidence connected with the his
| tory of the rebellion disclosed. The counsel
| for the defence will demand trial, and if
the government should urge as an excuse
that it is not ready, the court will express its
| intention to remain in session sufficient
time for it 1.-THE government to prepare.
Failing in this, nolle prosecute will then be
entered, by which the discharge of the pris-
oner may be affected. Davis can scarcely
| be convicted.
