has been known for many years. Dut it

instead, of thus vantonly destroying fhese

The Forthcoming Trial bf Jeff Uayis.
Now that the conspiracy trial is over,
and the sentences ot the Military Com
mission are executed, there will soou be
some definite action concerning the ttial
of Jeff Davis. If it shall be determined
to try him for treason, the proceeding
will, of course, tak place before a civil
tribunal ; but from prtsent indications it
is more probabla tht he will bd tried by
