lsfkOIAL DEsPAroH TO THE EVENING TEL acRAPH 4
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 28.-The Court opened
at O'Clock, and was soon densely crowded
principally with white people, and many ladies'
At ll'3O Judge Underwood called the Court to
order. The Grand Jury answered to their names.
They comprise eighteen white and six colored
men, all radicals. The oath prescribed by the
act of Congress June IT, 1852, excluding all
persons from serving on jury who have aided
or been concerned in the Rebellion, was admin.
istered to the members of the Grand jury,
Judge Underwood said that all who had con-
scientious scruples against taking an oath
should inform the Court. None answered In
being sworn, whites and blacks took the Bible
together, which caused smile throughout the
Courtroom.
Judge Underwood then charged the Grand
Jury, defining treason and its punishment
under the laws of Congress.
He said:-Ifi it is brought to your knowledge
that any citizen of the United States has been
engaged in levying war, against them, it will be
your duty to find an indictment for treason
against the offender unless it be also brought to
your knowledge that such offender has received I
special pardon, or is included in some general
act OF amnesty. You are to be abso.
lutely impartial. All personal favor and
disiavOr must be vigorously excluded
from your room. No party and no class bias
or prejudice must be allowed the slightest intlu-
ence upon your decisions. The charge was
brief, moderate in tone, and the authorship of it
is attributed to Hon. Salmon P. Chase. It also
touched upon violations of the Internal Revenue
and Postal laws and Reconstruction acts, which
will be brought before the Court. The Grand
Jury then retired for deliberaton.
At 1890 Mr.. Evarts, on the part of the Gov
ernment, said 1t was intended to proceed with
the trial of Davis at some period during this
term, but the public duties of Chief Justice
Chase prevented his attendance, and he would
name day after Judge Chase's official duties
in the supreme Court had been concluded; and
proposed that the first Wednesday in March be
assigned for the trial.
Mr.. Q'Conor for the defense assented to this
but said 1t would cause the defendant inconye-
nience and hoped the Government would arrange
1t positively for the day named. He preferred
to renew Davis recognizances for trial in Nav.
when Mr.. Chase would certainly attend, but
withdrew this and agreel to the day named, but
hoped Mr.. Davis would be called on previously
MIR. Evarts anticipated no difficulty in the
trial coming off in March, as Mr.. Chase would
undoubtedly be present then. Judge Under
wood assented as it was desirable to have two
Judges present in a case of such import
ance, and it was due to the defendant
and he directed an order fixing the day named.
MIR. Davis was not present during the proceed.

and would have been produced if necessary.
