THE PRISONER OF STATE.
Fall Detail of the Release of Jffria
asavis on
In addition to our rather full special accounts
f the release of Jeff. Davis, at Richmond, pub-
Inhed in Thb Evkninu Tklwirani exclusively,
efiterdaj, we have received the following re
port from the agents of the Associated Press:
Richmond, may 13 J tinge unanrwooa entered
the Court room at half-past eleven o'clock this
forenoon, and having taken his seat, ordered the
Conrt to be opened, the crier proclaiming, "Hear
ve, bear ye; silence Is commanded while the Cir
cuit Court is in session. God save the United
States." . .
The room had rrevlonslv been crowded with
apecuvors, Including a lew ladies and a number of
eoloreu men, wno nuu oeeu oumumu j .ivmnm, m
all probably not more than two hundred, owing to
the limited capacity of the court-room. At one
side of the table, In front of the Judge's stand,
were seated Charles O'Connor, William B. Heed
and Oeorge Shea, Esq?., and on the other, J. Ran.
dolph Tucker, Robert Ould and James Lyons,
Ji., all counsel for Jefferson Davis.
The United States Dinrlcl Attorney Chandler
and William M. Evarte, Eqs , occupied seats near
the gentlemen last mentioned, and appeared for the
Unliea States government.
Jefferson Davis entered the court-room, accom
panied by General Burton and United States As.
Blatant Marshal Duncan, and took seats esp-cially
provided for them on the side of Judge Under
wood. The spectators displayed profound interest
at this featnre of the proceedings.
It may here be staled that in addition to others
present were Governor Pelrpoint and Generals
JSchotleld aud Granger, and a number of members
f ih liar and leading citizens of Richmond.
Jefferson Davis was, a short time after his en
trance into Court, provided with a seat between
.Messrs. O'Connor and Reed.
Jndge Underwood remarked, the Court is honor
ed, on this occasion, by the presence of so many of
the nation's noblext and bravest defenders that the
usual morning routine will be omitted. We are
now ready tor any communication from General
Burton.
There were cries of "sit down" and "order must
be preserved," by an officer of the Court.
The writ of habeas corpus, sued out of the Court
and allowed by Judge Underwood, and which
bns already been pnblixbad, was then read; it bore
the following indorsement:
In obetlience to the exigency of the within writ,
I now here prod nee before the within named Cir
cuit of the United S'ates for the District of Vir
ginia the body of Jelferson Davis, at the time of
the service of the writ held by me in imprison
ment at Fortress Monroe, under the military au
thority of the United States, and surrender the
aaid Jefferpon Davis to the custody, jurisdiction
and control of the said Court, as I am directed to
do by the order of the President of the United
States, under date of May 6th, ih67.
"H. S. Bubton, '
Col. and B"vet Brig. Gen. U. S. Army."
Mr. O'Connor taid tt)2t on this return no reason
was stated for the iraprigOkmeut of Jefferson
Davis, and it now remained for the UouT1 ft) iaCe
such action as was requisite on the pari of toe
civil authorities to brine; tbe prisoner within the
proper lifflila lni.et the mdlctment.
iue Court replied: The return is explicit and
satisfactory. General Burton receives the thanks
of tbe Court for this prompt aud graceful obedi
ence to its writ. lie has thus added another to tbe
many laurels he has gained npon the battle-fields
of the country. He has illustrated the manly
qualities of the soldier of the United Slates, for
courage in the face of danger is not more becom
ing than a ready recognition of the claims of peace
when the danger has passed. General Barton la
bow honorably relieved of the custody of the
prisoner, who passes into the custody of the Court
ander tbe protection of American republican law.
If the laws are silent in arms, they should be
trumpet-tongued and omnipotent in peace. The
Marshal will now serve on tbe prisoner the writ
on the indictment now in this Court.
Deputy Marshal Duncan accordingly served the
'Writ on Jefferson Davis, wuluh the latter acknowledged-General
Burton thanked the Court for the re
marks which had been made in compliment to
him.
Mr. O'Connor said counsel wero now ready to
observe what the Court ordered, and what tbe law
and justice required at this time. In consideration
of certain circumstances which had been disclosed
in Conrt, and in consideration of tbe very long
Imprisonment of the accused, he begged leave to
say tbe counsel in attendance desired to know
whether there was any call upon them with re
gard to the indictment. They acknowledged that
they had received a copy of it, and were now pre
pared for the next step.
The Oonrt remarked We shall be happy to hear
from the representatives of the government.
Mr. Evarta I deem it proper to say that I re
present the government on this occason and in this
prosecution in association wuu my wariiou ineuu
tbe District Attorney, (Mr. Chandler.) Mr. Davis
having passed lrom military imprisonment to the
control and custody of this Court, and as an in
dictment is pending against him, and be is now
under arrest, it only remains for me to say, on be
half of the government, that it Is not its intention
to prosecute the trial of the prisoner at the present
term of the Court.
Mr. O'Connor The condition of this case throws
upon os the duly of presenting to your Honor's
consideration some of the circumstances attending
it. Jefferson Davis has been imprisoned and in
the power of the government, so tnat any steps
thought expedient, just and consistent with sonud
policy might have been taken against him a very
long time ago. His imprisonment commenced on
tbe lUth of April, 16G5.
In tbis Court an indictment was presented
against him in May, 1800. Mr. Davis has been at
all times since his imprisonment, and particularly
during tbe last year or more of that imprisonment,
exceedingly anxions to meet the questions arising
on any indictment which might be presented. He
vraa exceedingly anxions to receive the advan.
tages and enjoy the rights which yoar Honor has
so eloquently and justly eulogized in the ttdJress
made with reference to General Buno.i 'lie bless
ings and advantages of a just, equal, t 1 r, and I
may say benign, for that becomes the occasion, ad
ministration ot law.
No particular civil procedure has been on foot
since the indictment was preuented; and although
the whole period of two years bos elapsed since
the commencement of his imprisonment, on ob
vious general principles and policy, an applica
tion was properly made to the Court, while at the
same time seenring doe responsibility to law and
the ends of justice, to mitigate somewhat the pres
sure ot the prisoner's coudinon, for all Imprison
ment and the holding of the accused tor trial are
adopted for the purpose of securing an answer and
the personal appearance of tbe accused, when the
question of his guiltor innocence comi-s fairly be
lore the Court. This is ample reason on general
grounds.
The Constitution of the United States, which we
all profess to reverence, Insures a tpeedy trial.
But I do not come here to assert that a speedy
trial means instantly, nor to assert that the go
vernment has not, on this as on al I othur occuslous,
had a reasonable time to prepare for trial. 1 do
not assert that considerations of policy and con
venience may not have bad their full weight, al
though they may bear oppressively on the Indi
vidual. I do not complain that tbe government
has failed to prosecute last year, or deterred action
tin the nreeent vear. I have no such purpose, be
cause we are bound to respect the auiuority of the
President, the Attorney uenerm, uu uwr iusoci,
ant advisers, and only suppose there are pub
lie considerations for not proceeding with tbe trial
immediately. But, 11 your nouur jjieaa.a, n 1

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGHAPII PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
I have spoken of the pains of Imprisonment.
-very freeman will understand that any impri
sonment of a free-born American must carry op
pression with It, so far as there was a long period
of Imprisonment. Certainly, during that time Mr.
Davis was nnder the direction and custody of the
gallant officer to whom yon paid so Jnsta compli
ment; and tbat Imprisonment has had as few pains
and as little sufferings as could be expected ander
the circumstances. He was In tbe hands of a
soldier and gentleman. I do not allude to other
times, bnt speak as to what Is before ns. Jefferson
Davis Is now here, nnder your exclusive direc
tion, and 1 ask that be have the liberty of free lo
comotion until you are prepared to try blm.
The Court said it would like to hear from the
Other side.
Mr. Evarts said the Imprisonment was nnder
the military authority and jurisdiction of tbe
United States. Its duration or the circumstances
attending It are not necessarily to be criticised or
defended In any way. The prisoner Is now sub
ject to judicial control, and the question for
your Honoris whether he shall be let to ball, as the
learned gentleman proposes. If your Honor so
determines, then the question arises as to what
amount and the terms, and the division. If desired,
on which the security may be taken. The indict
ment, I nave been Informed, is nnder a recent act
of Congress prescribing the nuniahment ir,r trea
son, passed in I'-fia, and which, for the ItrBt time in
our legielation, has made It proper for the Court
to inflict lees thnn the death penalty for the crime

Honor that they do not nrnnnsn nmdin.
against the prisoner during tbe present term, have
presented a proper case lor the motion of bis coun
sel, and it Is lor your Honor to determine on t.h
usual terras, in tbe discretion of the Court.
airing all the circumstances of the case, as to the
propriety of receiving bail. The Court has nothing
10 do with the character or motives of the sureties;
it conld only look to what the law renin with
regard to pecuniary responsibility, und for insur
ing the pre.-ence ot the accused.
I do not know that there will be any Indlsposl
tionon the part of the prisoner's cnunsnl tn moot
the amount of bail your honor or the District At
torney may think amiable. Indeed, from the re
marks of the prisoner's connsel. thev hnve the
ability and the disposition to furnish tbe requisite
secnilty. As to the question of amount, it was for
your Honor to sny what was a proper sum, in order
to secure the proper administration of justice.
District Attorney Chandler said the Question
now presented is whether the prisoner shall be ad
mitten to bail. The Judiciary act of 17k" ovides
that tbe Supreme Court, or a iudireot a Iimtrinr
Court ot the United States, may In any case, even
In capital punishment, takinsr Into considnrAtinn
all the circumstances, admit to bail, exercising a
sound discretion. If an indictment was found
against the prisoner under a law by which he
could not be punished with death, then, as a mat
ter of right, he conld give ball.
I will state what 1 KnnnhAa tn Via a fair amnnnt.
of bail, and I do so the more freely because there
has been some little consnltation in ihio mot,..

jiiroume uier, 1 be no anestlon as tn the
amount of K
liil. It would be as easy a question to
?""mlr-e on that amount as on
ten thousand
Something had b"en said about gentlemen from
all parts of the country, representing all sbudes of
politics, willing to enter surety for the appearance
of the prisoner at tbe next term. So far as a surety
ship is concerned, we have no objection to take
them; hut 1 feel that I owe a duty to tbe govern
ment in asking that, in addition to gentleman re
siding outside ot this district, gentlemen residing
is this district shull also enter into security in
order to secure the attendance of the prisoner at
the next term.
Mr. O'Connor We can meet that question as to
bail.
Mr. Chandler That is in the discretion of the
Court. I may remark, in order to avoid embar
rassment In the future, that the government wonld
run no risk by requiring some of the sureties to be
residents of tbis district, while on the contrary
there might be difficulty. He wonld be certain, In
case of non-attendance, without having to enter
snit in a different jurisdiction, to hold tbe sureties
TespoOBible for the non-appearance of the prisoner.
Mr. O'Connor On a question of residence there
need be no difficulty; we will give those who will
respect tbelr obligations.
Mr. Evans We have no objection, provided
the security is adequate.
Mr. O'Connor There are ten gentlemen willing
to go security of ten thousand dollars each.
Tbe Court said Tbe question is whether the
prisoner is bailable. It Is a little remarkable that
in tbe midst of a gigantio civil war the Congress of
tbe United States changed the punishment of an
offence from death to tine and imprisonment, but,
nnder tbe clrcumstar.ces, it was very honorable to
the government of the United States, and exhibited
Its clemency and moderation. This Is a fact which
relieves the present case of every doubt as to Its
being bailable, and It is, also, In my judgment,
eminently proper tbat the motion should be treated
with favor, as the defendant has been ready for a
year to submit his cuse to the Courts of the coun
try. It Is trne the prisoner has not until to-day
been in the custody of this Court. I think, how
ever, no person acquainted with the circumstances
of the country would suppose the fact reflected on
the justice of tbe country. Considering the natu
ral effect of a great war, which lashed all the ele
ments of society into lury, it was not to oe ex
pected that the paBions and prejudices aroused
would be 6Ubdued In a moment, and it is in con
sequence of the prevalence of this disturbance, and
tumults wmcn nave neen aoroua in me commu
nity, that tbe government has felt it could not
safely proceed with this case.
Alter consultation with tbe highest judicial offi
cer, it was thought best to omit tbe trial last fall.
Bnt fortunately we nave a more agreeaoie aspect
at tbe present time. We may now hope for re
stored confidence, and that we may not again be
disturbed by violence and commotion. 1 think
there are reasonable assurances in the indications
around ns that we are about to enter on a peace
more permanent than ever existed before.
I ought, perhaps, to state the fact that this Court
expects to be in session all this week; and I have
a letter from Chief Justice Chase intimating his
intention to come to this city if any important
causes are likely to be tried. I ought also to state,
in lustice to the District Attorney, that be ex
pected to dispose ot this case during the present
term. I believe be was lully prepared for the
final disposition of it at this time, bnt I have no
doubt that grave considerations have induced the
government to take a different course. So it seems
the respc aubilily of tbe trial is with tbe govern
ment, aud not with the Court or with the District
Attorney, and no donbt for good and proper rea
sons. Tbe government cannot complain, since the
delay is Its own. I urn glad counsel have agreed
on the amount of ball. It meets with tbe appro
bation of the Court, which will not confine the
sureties to tbe district of Virginia. It would no
doubt be satisfactory it about half of the sureties
be confined to the State of Virginia. 1 here Is no
objection to having tbe remainder of the bail from
other portions of th United Slates. I would in
quire of tbe counsel for the prisoner whether his
sureties are present to enter into recognizance
to day I
Mr. O'Connor They are all prepared.
Mr. Duvie, during these precediugs, exhibited
much cheerfulness, especially as many persons In
the crowd extended their hands to congratulate
him on tbe prospect of his speedy release.
The Conrt Tbe gentlemen proposing to offer
themselves will please to come forward.
Mr. O'Connor, ac dressing Horace Greeley, who
was Beated near to Augustus Schell, inviu d him
to present himself before the Court. Mr, Greeley
did so.
District Attorney Chandler said there were
eighteen gentlemen who would qualify themselves
in the sum of ouuii each, leaving two others to be
come sureties, who would probably arrive tbis
evening. He was entirely satisfied with the list
ot names and the responsibility attached to them.
He asked tbe Court to lake a recess.
Mr. O'Connor I am not so certain they will
arrive to-nieht. It may be not till to-morrow.
Meanwhile the introductions to Mr. Davis and
the hand shaking continued, and there was much
confusion all over the court-room.
District Attorney Chandler suld Inasmuch as
eighteen gentlemen have offered, 1 make no objec
tions as to the Insufficiency of tbe number.
Mr. O'Connor We are waiting- lor two gentle.
men, and while we are waiting twenty others, are
willing to take tbeir places. Tbe names of the
sureties were severally called, and they repaired
to thetCiurk's desk und signed tbe following paper:
tTbeconcluHion ot tbe recognizance is such that
if the said Jefferson Davis shall, in proper person,
welljnudKrnly appear at the Circuit Court of the
United States Kr the District of Virginia, to be
held at Richmond, in the said district, on the
fourth Monday November next, at the opening

Mr. Chandler said the requisite number had been
obtained, with the exception of two or three only.
The Court The Marshal will discharge the pri
soner. Tbe Marshal did so. when deafening applanse
followed. Mr. Davis stood up, closely pressed on
all sides. Old friends heartily congratulated blm,
while a number of strangers were in trod need. As
sistant Marshal Duncan, amid the huzzas and
waving of hats, exclaimed In a loud tone, "the
Court will have to be cleared unless order Is pre
served." The Court was then adjnrned until to
morrow. Davis was greeted with cheers by those
who followed him and the crowd on tbe street.
As Davis entered a carriage after bis release
there was a loud cheer from the crowd of negroes
outside, and about fifty of them gathered about the
conch and shook hands with him. lie has re
mained qr.letly in bis hotel all the evening, and
will visit Canada In a few days to see his children.
Tbe Vli g'Uia residents who signed his bail bind
were prominent clilzens of Richmond, merchants
and lawyers. There seemed to be a general feeling
of relief among the citizens and authorities thut
Davis Is at last at liberty.
It is Btated that tbe Grand Jnry has indicted
Vice President John O. Breckinridge, Jndge 11.
W. Thomas, of Fairfax, and four others, for trea.

The following telegram was received by Judge
Underwood, In the court-room, to-day, shortly
before he admitted Davis to bail:

ware of Greeley. Remember JLiibny Prison, An
derson ville and Belle Isle. Fifty millions are
looking on, and expect you to do your duty, while
three hundred thousand patriot graves cry aloud
tor revenge. Your friend.
Davis, on his release, telegraphed to his brother
in Mississippi the fact, and said he wonld writ
from New York. Davis and bis wife visited th
grave of their son at Hollywood Cemetery, to
night, and afterwards took passage on the steamer
Niagara, which sails for New York at ten o'clock
A. M. to-morrow.
