The Trial of Jeff Davis.

1t is semi officially announced, that
the Government will ask for further de-
lay, when the trial comes on November
next, and that the counsel for the accused
will then make motion to enter nolye
pros. Judge Underwood will of course
be present, but it is not yet definitely set
tied whether Judge Chase will preside.
The motion to quash will be argued and
decided in all probability during the early
part of the term. 1t is due to Attorney
Gen. Stanberry to say in this connection,
that although he has been consulted re-
garding the matter, and may have advised
the prospective delay, he cannot be held
accountable for the manner in which the
case is conducted. He complied with
District Attorney Chandler's request for
assistance in prosecuting the trial by en-
ploying Hon. VIM. NJ Evarts a. assetan t
counsel. Consequently Mr.. Chandler is
alone responsible.

I" And now, in conclusion, just one
word. Let US conquer our prejudices
Instead Of inviting emigration from Eu
rope, let US invite it from the north. We
want Yankee capital = Yankee enter
prise = and to get all this We must agree
to accept Yankee politicians. After the
Yankee comes his politics won't be much
IN the way; when he sees the dollar he
will throw politics, like physic, "to the
dogs. Let him come with his money
and all his goaheadativeness. There is
no danger of his tamperng with the ne

welcome so far as am concerned. !

workshops; / want commercial vim; |
want life in this dear land of ours. and to
get all this | am ready to forget the past

OF geunine reconstruction. When half
the Southern whites get into that way of
thinking and feeling, the Union will not
only be restored, but the people will
live in concord
