THE TBIAI OF XEFFEttSON SATIS. letter of the President to Hie Attorney- General, sod the Reply. The President has addressed the following letter to the Attorney-General in regard to the trial or Jefferson Davis: Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., Oct. 6,1866. — Sir; A special term of the Circuit Court of the United States was ap pointed for the first Tuesday of October, 1866, at Richmond, Vk., for the trial of Jef ferson Davis on the charge of treason. It now appears that there will be no session of that court at Richmond daring the present month, and dotibts are expressed whether the regular term (which, by law,. should commence on the fourth Monday of Novem ber next) will be held. In view of this obstruction, and the con sequent delay in proceeding with the trial of Jefferson Davis under the prosecution for treason, now pending in that court, and . there being, so far as the President is in formed, no good reason why the civil courts of the United States are not competent to exercise adequate jurisdiction within ithe district or circuit in which the State of Vir ginia is included, I deem it proper to request your opinion as to what farther steps, if any, should be taken by the Executive with a view to a speedy, public and impartial trial of the accnsed, according to the Consti tution and laws of the United States. I am, sir, very respectfully yours, Andrew. Johnson. To the Hon. Henry Stanberry, Attorney- General. The Attorney-General replies as follows: Attorney General’s Office, October 12, 1866.-—J%e President: Sir: I have the honor to state my opinion upon the question propounded in your letter of the 6th, as to what further may be proper or expedient to he done by the Executive in reference to the custody of Mr. Davis, and the prosecution for treason now pending against him in the Circuit Court, of the United States for Vir ginia. I am dearly of the opinion that there is nothing in the present condition of Virginia to prevent the foil exercise of the jurisdic tion of the civil courts. The actual state of things, and your several prodamations of peace and of the restoration of dvil order, guarantee to the dvil authorities, Federal and State, immunity against military con trol or interference. It seema to me that in this particular there is no necessity for far ther action on the part of the Executive in the way of proclamation, especially as Con gress, at the late session, required the Cir cuit Court of the United States to be held at Richmond, on the first Monday of May and the fourth Monday of November in each year, and authorized special or ad journed terms of that Court to be ordered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, at such time and on such notice as he might prescribe, with the Bame power and juris diction as at regular terms. ' ‘ This is an explidt recognition by Con gress that the state of things in Virginia ad-' mits the holding of the United States Courts in that State, The obstruction yon refer to, it seems to me, cannot be removed by any Executive order; so far as lam advised, it arises as follows: ■' Congress, on the 224 of May, 1566, passed an act providing that the Circuit Court of the United States for Virginia should be held at Richmond, on the first Monday of May and on the fourth Monday of Novem ber in each year, and farther, providing that all suits and other proceedings, which Btand continued to any o ther time and place, should he deemed continued to the place and time prescribed by the act. The special or adjourned session, which was ordered by the Court to be holden at Richmond in the present month of October, was con sidered as abrogated by force of this act. This left the regular term to he holden on the fourth Monday of November; and if there had been no further legislation hy Congress, no doubt could exist as to the competency of the Chief Justice and the District Judge of that court then to try Mr. Davis. But on the 23d of July, 1866, Con gress passed an act to fix the number of Judges of the Supreme Co.urtof the United States, and to change certain judicial cir cuits. Among other changes in the circuits made by this act is a change of the fourth circuit, to which the Chief Justice has been allotted. As this circuit stood prior to this' act, when allotted to the Chief Justice, it embraced Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia. It was changed by this act by excluding Delaware and adding South Carolina. It is understood that doubts exist whether this change in the States composing the cir cuit will not require a new allotment. Whether this doubt is well founded or not it is certain that the Executive cannot inter fere; for although under peculiar circum stances, the Executive has power to make an allottment of the judges of the Supreme Court, yet these circumstances do not exist in this case. A new allotment, if necessary, can only be made by the judges of the Su preme Court, or by Congress—perhaps only by Congress. Mr. Davis remains in custody at Fortress Monroe precisely as he washeld in January last, when, in answer to a resolution of Congress, you reported communications from the Secretary of War and the Attorney General, showing that he was held to await trial in the civil courts. No action was then taken hy Congress in reference to the place of custody. No demand has since besn made for his transfer into civil custody. The District Attorney of the United States for the District of Virginia, where Mr. Davis stands indicted for treason, has been notified that the prisoner would be surrendered to the United States Marshal upon a capias tinder the indictment, but the District At torney declines to have the capias issued be cause there is no other place within the dis trict where the prisoner could be kept, or where his personal comfort and health could be so well provided for. No application has been made within my knowledge hy the counsel for Mr. Davis for a transfer prisoner to civil custody. Recently an application was made by his for his transfer from Fortress Mon rqp to Fort Lafayette, on the ground chiefly of sanitary consideration. A reference was promptly make to a board of surgeons, whose report was decidedly, adverse to change, on the score of health and personal comfort. ■ r . lam unable to see what further action can he taken on the part of the Executive to bring the prisoner to trial. Mr. Davis must fior the present remain where he is, until the court which has jurisdiction to try him shall be ready to act, or until his custody is demanded under lawful process of the Fed eral courts. I would suggest that, to avoid any misun derstanding on the subject, an order issue to the commandant of Fortress Monroe to surrender the prisoner to civil custody, whenever demanded by the United States Marshal, upon process from the Federal Courts. / ... * .. '■ I send herewith a copy of a letter from the United States District Attorney for Virginia, , to which 1 beg to call your attention. X have the honor to be, <Sc., . HBNBY SIANBEBBY, : ~ ■ Attorney General. ! WtS? 011 8 District Attorney fob Norfolk, Oct. 8, 1866.— Hon‘ rS Attorney-General of the in compliance with Sauce onhe ™ herewith the sub ' feV?dtvs H? 1 sta,eme nt I made you a “Why no demknrt to yOQ *' qhestioa military authorm bee fl Inade upon the rsoa m order that hes wied npontheindiotmehtfound*Lin? f a ; T Moffat term held at Norfolk m May last?’’ • ■ r ne ma in not taking any steps for removing kimfrom their custody. The one relates to the safe keeping, the other to his own personal bom fort and health. I have never had any doubt but that he would he delivered to the United Stateß Marshal of the district whenever he should have demanded him on a “capias” or any other civil process. But yon can readily understand that so soon as he goes into the hands of that officer, upon any action had by me, his place ,oi confinement would he one of the State jails of Virginia. . At Fortress Monroe all necessary precau tions can be and are taken to prevent hi 3 escape. Over the internal police of a State jail the Marshal has no authority,, and the. safe custody of the prisoner could not be secured save at a very great expense. Mr. Davis is now in as comfortable quar ters as the most of those occupied by the army officers at the Fort.- The location is a healthy one. His family have free access to him; He has full opportunity for exer cise in the open air. If his health be feeble, rembve him to one of the State jails, and his condition, instead of being bettered, would, in all these in spects, be much for the worse. His counsel probably understood all this, and I think will not be likely to take any stepß which would decrease the personal comforts or endanger the life of'their client. I have the honor to he, most respectfully, your obedient servant, - , L. H. Chandlhr, U. S. District Attorney for Virginia. THE PRESIDENT'S MOVESESTS AGAINST CONGRESS. History of the Ledger Despatch. [From the' Philada, Ledger, Oct. 15.] We are now enabled to give the history of the despatch containing the series of ques tions alleged’to have been submitted to the, Attorney General by the President on the legality of the existing Congress, as pub lished in the Ledger on Thursday last. When the authenticity of that despatch was denied by the Attorney General and the President, it became necessary to make a thorough investigation of the origin of the statement,in order to vindicate thecharacter of this paper for fair dealing with the public, and it was due to the President, as well as ourselves, if the story was false’, that its author should he ferreted out and exposed. To effect these ends,we spent Thursday, Fri day and most of Saturday last in collecting proofs that demonstrate that, the despatch came to us in the regular course of business from an old and heretofore approved corres pondent, and in tracing the “questions” to their origin. On Satnrday, having com pleted everything it was in our power to do, we placed in the hands of the President a package containing files of papers bearing on the foregoing points. Of these, one was the original manuscript given to our corres pondent by one of his Washington agents; the second was the original manuscript, as sent by our correspondent and as it passed through- our printing office; the third was the statement of our corresponpent, show ing that it was sent by him in good faith ; as he sends all his news, and that no person, directly or indirectly connected with the Ledger, had any knowledge of its origin, except his Washington agent, who gave him the original statement; also giving the name of that agent. The fourth was the statement of the agent' himself, purporting to give the sources of his information, but declining to give up names. The fifth contained telegrams from our correspondent and his agent in answer to inquiries, and reiterating their belief in the truth of the despatch. Such is the nature of the evidence laid before the Presi dent, and it proved to him, as it will to all the world, that the despatch came to us through the regular channel from an old correspondent, without any previous know ledge of the proprietor or editors, or any one directly or indirectly connected with the establishment, except our correspondent and his agent, and that the whole transac tion throughout is marked by the good faith characteristic of the Public Ledger, We now come to the origin of the “ques tions.” Our correspondent says that the original manuscript was given to him by a Mr. H. M. Flint, of Washington, who is one of three or four persons who aid him in pro curing Washington news. ,Mr. Flint con firms this, and the substance of his state ment is as follows: He says that a “person in office” told him that a paper, dated at the Executive Mansion, was seen on the table of the Attorney General, containing inquir ies on the subject of the powers and duties of the President in his relations to the pre sent Congress, and relating to its legality when so many States are excluded from re presentation, and requesting the Attorney- General’s answer in writing; and that the “questions” sent to the Ledger are the same in substance as those seen on the At torney General’s table. He further says that another “nerson in office” told him that the President had been conversing with an intimate friend in the Executive Mansion at the same time, on the samequestions on the same subject. This statement of Mr. Flint was subjected to a long and searching ex amination yesterday, in Washington, by a person authorized to speak for t.hfa paper and the interview resulted in several mate rial modifications of his original statement Mr. Flint now says that “the person in of fice” told him that another person had told the “person in office” that he (the other per son) said he had seen the paper, and that his informant about the / alleged con versation in the White House between the President and an “intimate friend,” said that the “intimate friend” had told another friend who had told still another person, and that this fourth person had related the conversation to him (Mr. Flint.) It will thus be seen that the* “offi cial” character of these informants of Mr. Flint is of but little consequence, as they were not narrating what came under their “official” notice, but merely what they had heard other people say. It is but fair to Mr. Flint to say that he olaims to have had a firm conviction of the truthfulness, accu racy and good faith of his informants, and that he still claims to hold the same convic tion. Thus far we have spoken of these al leged informants “in office” as though they had real existence, and as if Mr. Flint, had acted in good faith; bjit we now come to a feature of the transaction that shakes that theory to the foundation. Mr. Flint now admits that, haying no more precise infor mation than the foregoing general and roundabout reports, and that, not having a single note of : the alleged “questions” in writing, he deliberately sat down at his ta ble andframed, in his oWn words, what he supposed to be the “questions,” professing to give the text literally, with accompanying references to articles and sections of the Con stitution, and sent this off for publication, as the specific language of inquiries sub mitted to the Attorney General by the President on one of the most serious topios that it is possible just now to raise. This is his own admission. It is difficult to find proper terms by which to characterize and condemn so unscrupulous a transaction, and we leave it to our readers to-apply such as they deem most fitting to such a subject; In view, of by - the man to whom the story, of the “ ques . dons”, is thus ultimately traced; we oon-i less to having serious doubts as to how-far his statement about haying any informants at all can be trusted, and as to whether he must not be considered,as having manufac tured the whole story from beginning to end. He has been informed',' indeed, that this will probably be the Verdict of the pub lic unless he gives up the name of the mys terious “person in office,” which he had thuafar concealed.' In finally disposing of Mr. Flint, we have to say that if wd had knownthe despatch containing the tions came from him, it would never have appeared in the Ledger, but coming through a correspondent wbb; has -been connected with this paper for upwards of twenty THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN; PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 15,1866. years, we gave itsthat.credit jwe thought it entitled to from his general accuracy. We have now given a full, Clear and un reserved account of a very unpleasant and very unusual business for the Ledger. It has cost us much labor and anxiety, and no small amount of.expense; but if it had re quired a hundred times the effort, and every dollar the establishment can com mand, it should have been expended in vin dicating the Ledger's well earned name for fair, upright and honest dealing with the public. , . Quick Work.— A correspondent of the London Serald gives- this account of a literary feat: Lady Audley’s Secret’ was originally announced for ipublication in three volumes. The manuscript-was punc tually sent to the publishers, but when the work was printed it contained only itwo volumes and ten pages. It had been an nounced that the cook was to appear at a certain day, and when the blunder was dis covered that day wasalmost athand. What was to he done? The precincts of Skint Bride were plunged into consternation. However, not an hour was to be lost, and the awful tidings were broken to Miss Braddon. She paused a little, and then asked, ‘How long can. you give me to fill up the 360 blank pages?’ ‘ Eight days at the utmost.’ "You shall have the copy in good time,’ and the whole copy was in the And mark it. Miss Braddon did not inter polate a single word to the two volumes already printed, although the novel was complete in itself: she started from the last line.” The Union Pacific Railroad.—Brevet Major General J. H. Simpson, United States Army, President of the Board of Commis sioners appointed to examine and report upon the Union Pacifio Railroad, has sub mitted to the Secretary of the Interior the report of the Commissioners on the seventh section of thirty-five miles of the road. The Commissioners represent the section ready for present service and supplied with all ne cessary drains, culverts, viaducts, crossings, sidings, bridges, turnouts, depots, equip ments and other appurtenances of a first class road, and recommend the acceptance of the same. The report was submitted on Friday to the President by Secretary Brown - ingwith therecommendatlon that the section be accepted and that the bonds and patents for land be issued to thecompany on account of the same, which was approved by the President. Indemnity from England Urged.—A number of gentlemen representing claim ants for indemnity from England waited upon the President and urged upon him the necessity of taking immediate action. The delay of the British Government in respond ing to the just demands of onr government was freely commented upon, and it is re ported that the President expressed himself favorably inclined to their views. It was suggested that a demand should he imme diately made for indemnity within thirty days, with a threat that in case it was not complied with Canada should be seized and held as security for the payment of the claim.
