NEW York, September 27.-The Her
ads Richmond special says it has now
become definitely settled that the trial OF
Mr.. Davis will take place at the NOvem-
Der term of the circuit court here. Judge
Chase has expressed his intention OF pre-
siding, and if the rebel ex- president does
not fail 70 come to time on his straw bail,
questions Of great Importance will arise,
which will require all the diplomacy and
ability Of the chief justice to evade aud
decide. The opinion is expressed that
,allOwing Mr.. Davis will appear the
trial will be shirked by the government,
and the prisoner again be set at liberty
Oh bail
There is reason to contradict such an
erroneous impression. Indications lead
to the belief that the trial will be pro-
ceeded with, and mass of the most i'm
pOrtsnt events connected with the his
tory of the rebellion will be disclosed.
The counsel for the defense will demand
a trial, and If the government urge as an
excuse, mot ready,n the court will ex-
press its intention to remain in session q
sufficient time to prepare. Failing in this,
3 nOlle prosequi will then be entered, by
which the discharge of the prisoner may
be effected. The latter is not likely, and
the trial which the nation at large de-
maRd will be proceed ed with. Mr.. Davis
can scarcely be convicted.

Of the Richmond circuit court ordered an

provsl of his course in Louisiana. A

WASHINGTON, October The Times
special Gays it is officially announced
that the government will ask for further
delay when Mr., Davis trial comes Off in
November, and that the counsel for Il Q
accused will make q motion to enter a
nolIe prOseqtti. Judge Underwood will
be present, but it is not settled whether
Judge Chase will preside.
The motion to quash the proceedings
will be argued and decided probably
during the early part Of the term. 1t is
due to Attorney-General Stanbery to
say, although hss has been. consulted
regarding the matter, and may have
advised the prospective delay, he cannot
be held accountable for the manner in
which the case is being conducted. He
complied with District Attorney Chand-
ler's request for assistance in prosecuting
the trial by employing Hon. VIM. EvaTts
as assistant counsel, consequently ChGnd-
Ter is alone responsible.
During a recent interview with an old
time friend, the purport Of which has
been retailed publicly, Mr.. johnson
stated that he would take his dnal stand
against congress by resisting its right if
it assumed to suspend him during the
progress of his Impeachment trial, if he
was impesched. So many ifs spoil the
threat, but it is probable that if the first
opportunity afforded the president to
take stand against congress, the subject
will be to veto bill providing for a sus-
pension of the Office Of alL public officers
who may have been impsached, until
they have been tried, which will i'm
mediately be introduced and passed early
in the session.

EXECUTION OF GENERAL O'HORAN
IN HEXICO.
A correspondent of the New York
Times under date of City of Mexico,
4 ,,gust 04tb has the folIowino.

AE4hNO-
A correspondent of the New York
Times under date of City of Mexico,
August oath, has the following:
Uniformed you of the capture of Gen.
O'Horan, some weeks since, and that a
trial (so-called) by court martial had
been accorded him. This was concluded
last Sunday, the prisoner being found
guilty Of most unheard-Of crimes or trea-
son, felony, etc, which were all proven
to theseomplete satisfaction Of the ignO-
rant, illiterate and vengeful board, COM
posed of Indian captains, before whom
OHoran was tried, and by whom he was
unanimously condemned to be shot
within twenty four hours.
Every effort was made by many dis
tinguished persons to secure cOmmuta-
ton Ofthe sentence, but without avail.
On the 2lst inst, at q m he was taken
to the Plazuela de Mexicsleo, guarded by
q battalion OF the supreDlOS pOdsTOS.
Reaching the place, he stepped lightly
from the carriage, and accompanied by
two priests, walked briskly TO the spot
designated to him, there to undergo the
dread penalty. He stood a few feet from
a high wall, surrounded on three sides by
troops, with thousands Of spectators fiji
ing the streets and covering the rOofs Of
the houses, which were black with hu-
man beings.
He was aus calm and sell. possessed as II
at review, placing his hand upon his
left breast, and requesting the soldiers to
aim at the heart. Then, gracefully bow
ing to all, he drew from his pocket
white handkerchief, folding it across his
knee, and taking last look upon the
scene before him gazing at the cloud
obscured sun, as it was just rising over
the snow-crowned peak of Popocatepetl,
seemingly bidding il and the worldIadieu,
he raised the handkerchief to his eyes,
tying it over them, and gave the word
to fire. a moments delay occurred,
when he urged the men to fire, exclaim-
ing, VTUa la LndepeHdencid" " FiUd
Merico 20
He expected to be shot in the breast,
but after the pieces had been leveled
upon him he was directed to turn his
back to the eEecuioners. The next in
slant the report of the rifles was heard,
and the brave Gen. O'Horan, the friend
of the foreigner, the hero of Puebla, was
struggling in the sgonies of death. After
he fell be was shot four times in success
sion, and his breast literally torn into
shreds. The fourth shot was fred at an
interval OF not Tess than five minutes
from the third. It was a asickeHing, hor-
rifying sight, but one greatly enjoyed by
the MeXicsns.
