DAVIS BAIL BOND.
Charles O'COnOr Recites its
History.

In answer to letter concerning the
bailing of Jeff. Davis, the following lCt-
ter from Mr.. Charles O'Conor is pub
lished:
New YORK, May IA, 1872
NY Dean S1R-From his capture
until the hour within which he was
bailed, Mr.. Jefferson JAWS was in mill
tary custody. He was then confined
as a prisoner of war for about two
years. From the very commencement
of his term his counsel directed their
efforts to procuring his delivery into
civil custody, to the end that he might
have bis trial at once or obtain iber-
tatlon upon bail until The Government
should think fit to bring on the trial
The counsel for Mr.. Davis having first
solicited and obtained the consent of
Mr. Greeley, Mr.. Gerrit Smith and
Commodore Vanderbilt, offered to give
bail in any sum that might be required,
and procure those three gentlemen to
unite in the bail bond. This offer was
never formally accepted; but under the
belief that it was satisfactory, the coun-
sci of Mr.. Davis obtained a writ of
habcas corpus, and brought Mr. Davis
before the court at Richmond. Mr..
Evarts attended by appointment, and,
on the part of the government, he
acquiseed i'll bailing Mr.. Davis in
100000. Conceiving himself bound
so to do, the counsel of Mr.. Davis re-
questea the attendance of the gentle
men in question. Commodore Wander
bilt's attorney acted for him; the other
two gentlemen appeared and signed the
bond in person. They had every rea-
son to understand and believe that their
attendance was absolutely nessary to
the release Of Mr.. Davis,
to be Sc, and he has now no reason to
think otherwise. ] am not aware of
any officiousness on the part of Mr..
Greeley in this business, and never
supposed that he did anything beyond
what he considered essential to the lib

One turning the poor Leaf there
was found one dollar bill, with some
