MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Intelligence
from Richmond shows that it is again
doubtful whether Judge Underwood will
ASSAY the trial of Mr.. Davis at the May
term of the United States court. If it
adjourns without said trial, the President
is determined to release Mr.. Davis on a
nominal bail. He has letter signed by
leading Republicans, asking that Mr..
Davis be released and also proposition
from Horace Greeley, offering to be one
of Mr.. Davis bondsmen.
Sanford Crucher, alias Chas. Durham,
was to-day convicted Of perjury, and SEN
fenced to ten years imprisonment in the
Albany penitentiary. His counsel has
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
district.
Attorney. General Stanberry spoke at
length in the Supreme Court to-day in
opposition to the petition of Georgia for
an injunction. His argument was to
the effect that the Court had no jurisdic-
ton in the case, as it was not within the
reason or spirit of the Constitution, and
that the Reconstruction act, as executed
by the President, works no hardships to
the people of the South, as they can do
as they please under it, and that this was
a political case and could only be
reached by political remedies.
Mr.. O'Connor argued for the injnnc-
ton on the ground that it was ordered to
be done under the acts of Congress, and
was, in all its length and breadth, uncon'
stitutional
The argument will be resumed next
Friday, when Robert ]. Walker will be
heard in behalf of the State of Mississip.
pi, and the Attorney-General will reply.
The Odd Fellows had fine parade
to-day. An ovation and original ode was
given at the National Theater. The
celebration closed this evening with an
entertainment to the visiting brethren,
widows and orphans Of the order.
The registration of voters in this city,
as far as completed, shows a majority Of
200 whites.

Wilson called on Mr.. Davis to-day, and
spent half an hour in friendly CONVERSE
