District Attorney Chandler has notified
Charles O'Conor, that the Government will
be ready to proceed with the trial of Jefferson
Davis at the session Of the United States CIR
cult Court in Richmond, commencing OH the
25th of November, unless postponement Is

sidered certain that the trial will come OFT. l

Chief Justice Chase writes Judge Under
wood that he will be in Richmond at the

remain in Richmond after opening the Su-
preme Court here in December.
Tue matter of the Georgia University was
presented to the President, who referred 1t to
General Grant. The latter referred it to
General Pope. All matters connected With
the Military Districts will take the same
course. neither the President nor General
Grant taking any responsibility bcyord refer
ring such questions to the District Comman-
ders. The Georgians here are hopeless of
any 'changein General Pope's election districts.
G." LEO" the Washington correspon
dent oi the Charleston Courier, under date OF
the 23l. says:
The Radicals are alarmed. A panic prevails
througho their ranks. They expect total
rJut. The Congress organ here, in the fright:
declares that the Radical work OF reconstruc-
ton must be accomplished, or another civil
war must be waged. So if New York 90
Conservative, and the ten Southern States
rnly "a VI
must have another civil war.
The Atlantic Monthly is a Radical organ
Of much influence, and the November number,
now published, is frantic with rage and fear.
If New York wont retrieve the Radical policy
at the coming election, it will be necessary,
says this Radical mourhpiece, to send an army
of a million and a halt of men to Washington
tosustan Congress against Preside Johnson.
1t appears to be admitted by the Radicals
that the busiiress men of New York will drop
the Radical cause, ard vote against it, or,
more probably, not vote ut all. There arc
.easons enough for the general indifference
and apathy prevailing in the Radical masses.
The people believe the Union to be safe, aud
now they want Cancellation aud prosperity.
Impeachment is threatened by the Radical
organs auu duCTsJ JUL laaI iucS>uIei h''i
also the threat Of. " another civil war;" has 10
longer any terror for the public mind. The
Radicals dare not take another step towards
usurpatioa Of power.
Movements in the South towards sending
negro Senators and Representative to Con-
gress have alarmed ard agtated the Radical
leaders, aud the Nationa! Radical Executive
Committee have issued instructions to thci,
Southern agents and organizers to stop ;hat
procedure. These agents have been directed
to pledge TIE Radical party ard the mrjcrity
in both Houses, that negroes, however capa
BILE, honest, and faithful" shall not sit by the
side OF white Radicals in Congress. Tie
white Radicals of the South are promised
that they shall have all the Offices Of honor
and emolument.
If, indeed, the South is to be reconstructed
upon The Radical plan, it would be well fol-
the whites to compromise with the blacks
taking the State Legislatures for the white
party, and given the negroes all the Fedora
offices, particularly the representation in the
United States Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives. After that exhibition no more
would be heard of universal negro suffrage il
