JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The following extract from the proceedings of
the Senate convey g leam ofhope that the long
and unnecessary confinement of Jefferson Davis
is drawing to a close, unnecessary from the fact
that the most loyal in the land linen like Horace
Greey-have stood ready for more than year
to become bis bail in any amount:
"Mr Wilson introduced the following concur
rent resolution: -
"Whereas Jefferson Davis, a citizen of the
State of Mississippi was captured by military
force in the service of the United States, on the
llth day of May, 1865, and has since been held
in confinement as "prsoner of war" and a
''prisoner Of State" in Fortress Monroe, Va {;
and whereas the said Jefferson Davis stands
charged, on the highest authority, with the
heinous crime of conspirng to murder the late
President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln,
and is also indicted for treason; and whereas the
said jefferson Davis has persistently declared
his innocence of the offences charged against i'm,
and through his legal advisers, by all means
known to the law, has sought and demanded a
speedy and public trial by due process of law, be-
fore civil tribunal of competent jurisdiction !;
therefore.
"Resolred by the Senate, (tbe House Of Rep
resentatives concurring,) That the longer confine-
ment of the said jefferson Davis without trial,
or the assignment ola specific time for trial, is
not in accordance with the demands of justice,
the spirit of the laws and the requirement of the
constitution, and the common justice, sound pnb-
lie policy, and the national honor unite in re-
commencing that the said jefferson Davis be
brought to speedy trial, or that be be released
from confinement, on bail, or on his own recog-
nzance.
"Mr Wilson asked chat the resolution should
be printed and laid over.
Mr. Saulsbur, hoped it would not be laid over,
but that the Senate would proceed to its imme-
date consideration.
THE Chair said debate was not in or
der.
"The resolution was then laid over"
This resolution from Mr. Wilson, alike cred-
table to his bead and heart, will hardly surprise
the country for the very good reason that no man
outside of a lunatic asylum now believes that
Mr. Davis had any knowledge of or participation
in the crime of Mr. LincoIn's death. Had he been
on trial at the time Of the "conspiracy trial,
and before military commission no doubt But
Ter would possess another opportunity to charge
upon men 10 high station the shedding of inno-
cent blood.
The resolution also asserts that Mr. Davis has
been indicted for treason" This is true. and MIR
Daviss counsel have urged and courtcd in every
way trial on that charge. They are ready for
it now and feel perfect confidence in their ability
to ac9ut him of the charge. In fact, few sound
lawyers can be found who will undertake to
maintain the affirmative Of the question. We
hope the resolution will be at once passed, and
the time fixed at early day for his trial or
release Washington Union.
