Meeting Of the United States District Csur
in VnGinia-The case Of Je ffers son Davis


in Vnainia-The case Of J jefferson Davis
RICHMOND, Va, May 6.-The United States
District Court met hero to-day, with Judge
Underwood presiding.
The grand jury is composed Of John Minor
Bolts, Jos. Segar, Lewis McKenze, Avs col
ored men. and others.
The Judge in his charge congratulates the
jury, and says IL was threatened with destruc.
ton by assassins, yet, thanks to Congress, IL
now meets in security. This promised better
things for Richmond-a city where fne prees
bad eached the lowest depths OF prodieacy;
the pulpit had been prostituted by ministering
Lotharfos. and RIGHTEOUSNESS had uled an tiI
half the births were illegitimate.
The jury would have a good deal OF work,
much OF II created by the Generalization OF the
people BY disloyal press, which had en-
couraged perjury and eounterfeiting TO cheat
the Government He called attention 70 the
fact that negroes were not allowed the freedom
Of the street cars.
The Eraminer has information that the ses.
sion OF the court will be prolonged until the
Adjournment Of the Supreme Court, when
Chief Justice Chase will come here and pre-.
side at the trial Of Jeff. Davis.
L.. H. Chandler, the prose cutting attorney, is
now ia New York consulting with Mr. Ev.
arts, one OF the counsel far Davis, about the
trial.
Jefferson Davis will probably be brought
here on Saturday, and there held by the civil
authorities until trial. Chief Justics Chase is
expected here next week.

DKATH SxNrEFCB AGAINST FRNIAH PRrs.
oEKRs.-The fear that the Fenian prisoners in
Ireland would be harshly dealt with are con-
hrmed by the news that the first two who
were tried have been sentenced to death II
the evidence against the rest are equally
strong, IL is not improbable that they will ali
receive like sentence. The British authori-
ties seem inclined to follow the adv of the
London Times, by infiicnng exemplary pun.
ishment upon the prisoners, with the ob,eot of
putting q summary end to Fenian reyolte
Possibly the sentence of death will be COM
muted. as In the case OF the Fenian prisoners
in Canada, but we fear q different result
John Bull Is re.entless and revengeful. His
wrath was stirred up from the bottom by the
last uprising, and nothing but Fenian bleed is
likely to appease him. But he makes a great
mistake If he expects to crush ont Fenianism
bv gibbeting the men who have fallen into his
clutches. Such course will only strengthen
the cauee, as all experience teaches. II John
Bull desires TO sec ure immunity from Feuian
revolts, the best course for him TO pursue is to
release the prisoners who are now In his hands
and then give TO Ireland a decent and liberal
Royernment.-N y. Sun.

THE EIGHT-HoUk Law IN ILLIyoIs-rbs
elght-hour rule seems to have been recog. :.
nizsd and adopted in Illinois in but fev
places outside OF Chicago. At Rockford no
attention has been paid to it by employers or
workmen. At Aurora, where there hss Ionr
been a powerful workingmen's party. there
was q weak demonstration in favor of tbe
law. About 100 workiugmen turned ont in
procession, and some 200 or 800 attended the
meeting IN the afternoon. Ali the men in the
Chicago, Darlington and Quincy car-shops
stopped work on Wednesday, but over 100 or
the 600 employed went to werk under the
old system on the next morning The worr.
men IN the other m an q featuring establishments
In Aurora have declined TO recognize the eight
hour law. At Galesburgh the employees in
the railroad hops contin a 0 to work under the
old system. In the Illinois Central car shops
D. Amoey the men have all quit work At
bloomington the workmep had holiday on
wednesday, but very generally went at their
work uncer the old system on THURSDAY
morning. There is some excitement at the Chi
cago, Alton and ST. Louis car shops, bat most
OF the men continue to work under the ten
hour system, awaiting the result Of the noye-
ment ia Chicago and other cities.
