Fortress Monroe, June 12.?Mr. and Mrs. Jell'. Davis appear to have 110 lack Ot visitors, whom 1'iey receive in the newly tilted up quarters in one of the casemates Inside the lortress, wtliotl were assigned to Mrs. Davis shortly after her arrival here, but which, until uow, she has steadfastly relused^ to oc cuuv. making renewed demands daily upon the patience of the General lor rooms in Carroll Hull, where her husband is imprisoned, which demands have been as porsist eutly relused. Ohyesterday, J. L.oren ehaw. of the wellknowu tirui ol block ade runners during the war, was clos eled with both Mr. and Mrs. Davis, le uiaining iu tho fort till this morning, when lit- left lor Richmond. The object of his visit, rumor says, was in reier ence to pecuniary matters, In view ol the anticipated release or Jeff. Davis. Mrs. Davis accompanied bun to the wharf, and, judging lrom her live y conversation, she appeared to be.in good spirit. Visiting mends "nd syn - pathizers uow often call and hiuve in terviews with Davis and his wile, always tendering assurances of their esteem, and oilers ol assistance us lur as it may be in their power. VISIT OF MESSRS. OBEELEY AND SHEA TO JUDGE UNDERWOOD. The Alexandria Journal of Monday afternoon says: ,..?h the Without being conversant with the inside workings of the manoeuvres ot the counsel and others for the release of Jell'. Davis on bail or parole, we have to state the following rumors, some of Which, we have good reason to believe, are founded on tact. It is well known that immediately upon the ad ioiirnineut of the Uuited Stales Circuit Court at Richmond, on Ihursday last, the ."nnsel of Mr. Davis at once re Dai red to Washington to consult with Mr. Johnson in regard to the?release' Ti'fF Davis on parole. Judge Under wood didnot arrive here until Satur day afternoon, but it appears, from r - mi'^ifor^^h^Tjudge Onderwoi^^SSt botne, and he immediately started, on the reception of this news, in company with Hon. Horace Greeley, for this city. The counsel and ' his distinguished friend in rived here by private convey ance about teu o'clock on Saturday uieht. What transpired between them and Judge Underwood, after their arri val here, is more than wei.oaO tell, buf lice It to,say that they had a lengthy in terview with him, which rumor says was chiefly devoted to an argument in favor of Davis' parole or release. Early yesterday morning it was nois ed about that Mr. Ureely was city, and was stopping with our distin guished fellow-citizen, Judge Under wood The consequenco was that many ol our loyal citizens during the morn ing repaired to the Judge's residence, where thev were met by the host ol the distinguished visitors; to^hotnthey were atonce introduced, hovwil hours were pleasantly spent hero Greeley and Shea, and at the hour ol their departure they were accompanied to the ten o'clock bunt by a number ol ""in" the meantime, it "ferns that a rumor was prevalent in Washington the effect that these gentlemen had vis ited Alexandria in the Interest. of Jeff. Davis, and tbo consequence was that great excitement ensued among certain members of Congress. , Another rumor was started early yesterday morning. In the Capitol, to fhe effect that Judge Underwood, ac comoanied by Messrs. (Ireeley and Shea, had repaired to Washington for tbe purpose of having some consulta tion wilh the President. The city was thoroughly scoured, but no trai-e what ever cSulU be found of the gentlemen on whom seemed to centre such great Interest. This led to the appointment or a deputation to visit AlexuniMa to learn or the whereabouts of Judge Un derwood. This deputation consisted of two prominent members of Congress, who- upon their arrival here, lound that Judge Underwood had actually accompanied Messrs. Greeley nndSbea m Washington. They arrived here at 12 o'clock, M., but found the object ol Iheir search absent. However, they did not have to wait long the return of Judm Underwood. The Judge It seems, accompanied Messrs. Greeley and Shea to Washington lor the pur nose of attending service at one of the many churches of thatcity, and lmme diately after service returned to Ibis oity without wititiug upon Ireaident Johnson or any one else. As to the conference between tu??e distinguished gentlemen we know noth ing We give all we know in the above ah Judire Underwood has for thirty years been abused and villified for bis tirm and unaltered adherence to liberal and correct principles wo are satisfied that the arguments they were finable ol bringing to bear were not antfloient to swerve biro from bis pur pose While not brave in the sense in ".asSS th:rri .as* was made to assassinate b"?1.dur,"l' ihoHPsslon of his court In Richmond, aud while other attempts ot a like?kar bfsecourt taresaUs^JbatTothinK hands of those who commit so great a outrage. JDDOB UNDERWOOD'S DECISION. The following is the decision in full ofJudge Uudirwood in waagHeu in our edition of this morn 'Thave considered the application made hy Mr! Shea, of counsel. to ad m^nJdeeTtrenci~um^n^; the .ppll CiButunder.he K'may doubtless be made also in vacatia* ,W?U brieflyn?J views. ?rit B Y tbe 1&tatee which were lately in active rebellion, mUitary Jurisdiction is still exercised aud martial law en- f forced. The civil authorities, State and Fed eral, have been required or permitted to resumo partially their respective functions, but the President, as Com mander-in-Chief, still controls their action so far as he thinks such control necessary to pacification and restora tion. In holding the District Courts of Vir ginia, I have uniformly recognized thfs condition. Jefferson Davis was arrested under a proclamation of the President, charg ing him with complicity in the assas sination of the late President Lincoln. He has been held ever since, and is now held, as a military prisoner. He is not and has never been ill the custody of the Marshal for the District or Virginia, und he is not, therefore, within the power of (he Court. While this condition remains, no pro position for bail can be properly enter tained, and I do not wish to indicate any probable action under the circum stances. John C. Underwood, District Judge. Alexandria, June 21, 1S0G. CHIEF JUSTICE CHASK'S VIEWS. A Washington correspondent tele graphs, under date of Monday evening: It is true that on Saturday last Attor ney-General Speed and Mr. O'Connor and others of counsel for Davis called on Judge Chase and talked the matter over, with a view of learning whether the Judge would issue the writ and de termine the question of bail under the indictment. No formal or technical application for the writ of habeas cor pus and for bail was made. Judge Chase Ireely gave these gentlemen his opinions 011 the subjects discussed. He intimated that ho did not regard the offense a bailable one, and he says that he stands now as he did some weeks ago, when, after the promulgation of the Peace Proclamation, he stared (hat lie would not preside in a court in Vir ginia until he could have assurance be yond a peradventure that martial law is abrogated in that State. Believing that there is yet a doubt upon that point, notwithstanding he is inclined to interpret the Peace Proclamation as Mr. Johnsou does, Judge Chase will not entertain any motion or proposition relative to the case of Mr. Davis, and so he expressed himself to the gentlemen above mentioned, but he suggested that Judue Underwood might possibly en tertain the motion. JEPF. DAVIS AND HORACE OREEI,EY. The New York Times?which cannot be accused of being "radical" in its views?in its issue yesterday has the following editorial on the case of Jeff. Davis and the exertion of Mr. Greeley in his behalf: Jetrerson Davis was the head and front of a rebellion, in the progress of which a quarter of a million of oursona fell, and lor which the nation is carry ing a debt of over three thousand mil lions of dollars. While JelTersou Davis was in bis glory at Richmond, Uulon prisoners?soldiers?were dying in Rebel prisons of "pestilence and fam ine," by thousands. Undertheauspices of Jefferson Davis, and with the money of the Confederate Government, agents were employed to introduce contagious diseases into our cities. Under the s-nne auspices, and with the same money, Confederate agents in Canada hatched conspiracies and raids to rob our banks, murder our citizens, burn our cities and assassinate our President. These multiform and atrocious crimes were approved by Jefferson Davis. He has never even denied his responsibil ity or complicity in them. When any of the guilty agents were arrested they produced a commission from Jefferson Davis. When this traltor-in-chlef was arrest ed, outraged humanity demanded his trial and punishment. But the Tribune objected! Mr. Greeley was opposed to the "death penalty." Mr. Greeley is a philanthropist! Mr. Greeley's sympa thies warm to the man who struck a blow at the life of the Republic; who deluged our country in blood; who sauctioued piracy, arson and assassi nation! This craven, white feathered spirit, from influential sources, occa sioned delay, aud delays end iu a de nial or justice. Jefferson Davis should have been promptly tried, convicted and sentenced, after which, if the Pres ident had commuted the sentence on conditiou of his leaving the country forever, we should have been rid of a bad subject. And now, while Davis is living upon the fat of the laud iu Fort ress Monroe, Mr, Greelev rushes to Washington tooffer bn\\, so that not even punishment of the mildest character should be inflicted upon a man whose head in any other country toouldhave come offfor any one of his many treasons. In an editorial in yesterday's Tribune Mr. Greeley demands, in behalf of "uni versal amnesty and universal suffrage," that Davis "shall have the'full equal rights secured to him by the Constitu tion and laws of the land," and urges his release on the ground that harsh ness towards him tends to engender new bkterness between the North aud the South; and to indispose the latter to ac cept his plan of reconstruction ubove given?universal suffrage aud univer sal amnesty. ? ? ? A Jewl*h Divorce. The New Haven Journal and Courier has the following: Yesterday a divorce, according to the practice in the Hebrew Church, took place at the residence of the Rev. J. ??abriel. At the present term of the Superior Court a divorce was obtained by Louis Roihscbild. One or the par 1 ties desired that a divorce should be granted after the manner of the He brew custom. Yesterday It was accom plished. As it is somewhat interesting to know what the ceremony consisted of, we give it. It was as follows : The wife, dressed in black, with a black veil over her face, appeared with her hus band before a council often men, mem bers of the synagogue. There were also present three rabbins, one of whom acted as the petitioner, and wrote on parchment a petition in Hebrew, ask ing for a diverce, and also wrote out the decree of divorce; the second acted as the respondent or defendant, and ?he third as a kind of judge, the coun cil of tea acting as a jury. The man and wife having appeared, they stood side by side before the coun cil. The rabbins and council then took an oath, all shaking hands?the oath being to the effect that they would al ways consider the divorce legal aud binding. The wife then removed her veil, and the rabbi who acted as peti tioner read the petition in German and stated the case to the council, who, having heard it, decreed the divorce. The divorce, folded up, was banded to the husband, and the wife, raising her open bands, the husband dropped the paper Into them. The rabbi who acted as judge then took it and cut the ends like a fringe. He theu handed it to the ' president of the synagogue, telling bltn to pluce it among the records of the so ciety, to be preserved as evidence of the divorce. This having, been done, the ceremony was finished, and the parties departed, no longer man and wife. Et tu Brute!?The Democratic par ty, so-called, has not been modest in expressing the belief that if had a sort of Divine right to rule the country. But like Ciesar, who also aimed at empire, it seems likely to receive its stab at the hands of those it has most trusted. This is the ungrateful manner in which the Norfolk, (Va.) Old Do minion returns the flatteries and fawn ings to which it stoops for power: The old Democratic politicians of the North seem to be wedded to the mem ory of tbatorganization, and hopeful of its resurrection. If they would do the South, especially, and the whole coun try generally, a lasting service, .they could do it by dropping the dry bones of the Charleston Convention, and ad mit the fact, that tb& old Democratic party, squatter soverelghty and fotjr veara of bloody war, are tilings of the past. A Political Panic. From the New York Port of Tuesday. Mr. Ancona, of Pennsylvania, acop f>erhead, yesterday caused what travel ers on the western plains call ? ?'stam pede" amongst the politicians of the House of Representatives. He offered a resolution repealing the Neutrality laws, in order to let the Fenian9 freely into Canada. At first sight one would sav that so disreputable an attempt could not find a dozen supporters in the House. Cer tainly when the Tribune the other day blamed the President for taking meas ures to guard our neighbors, with whom we are at peace, from being attacked by men armed and organized within our border, and setting out from here, we did not think that oue hundred and thirteen members of Congress could be induced to give their votes lor a resolu tion to the same general purpose. One hundred and thirteen members of Congress voted against the motion to dismiss Mr. Ancona's resolution. Does it then follow that Congress?or this part of it?would have Canada In vaded I row Buffalo and Cleveland? Is it to be supposed that these one hun dred and thirteen would, as the Tri bune the other,day suggested, treat Eng land with the same evasion with which she treated us, and thus themselves commit the flagrant wrong of which we all for four years so bitterly com plained? Wo do not suppose anything of the kind. Wo suppose only that members were thinking of "the Irish vole," and they voted, as some of them speak, lor Buncombe. Politicians fear that the Fenians will revenge their defeat in the next election; and so they act a part which is prudent, even if it is despicable. But we advise Republicans and Union men not to be led away by their fears. We do not know what dreadful thing the Fenian monster may do to those who do not timely propitiate it, or what important favors ii may grant its friends or adula tors, But, one thing is certain?the copperheads can afford to bid higher for its favor than any respectable Union men; they have more to gain and less to lose: their antecedents, as the sup porters of filibustering against Cuba and Central America, as the palliators of New York riots, ihe defenders of the rebel leaders, and the would-be de stroyers of the very principle of law and order on this continent?these an tecedents will of themselves recom mend them to the more lawless and desperate of the Fenian leaders. Mr. Ancona had a better chance of securing itie Feniau vote, in his district, tban his Republican opponent; for the sim ple reason that they know Mr. Ancona to have but little respect or regard lor law and order, and they presume the opposite of any member of the other party. But if any Republican politician is really desirous or securing a very im portant vote, let him lake ground with Sir. Hale in support of the President, of law and order, aud of the good repute of the nation. Mr. Hale's resolution, which could not even get a reading un til Mr. Ancona's had been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, is right and pointed. It is "Hesolvcd, Tnnt the honor and good faith of tue United estates Imperatively ueinand a Jutland vigorous enforcement or the neutral ity laws, ami thai this IJou*e will eutertaln no proposition looking to their repeal, re vision or violation." That is what the mass of the Ameri can people hold ; they believe in honor and good faith, and good refute, in law and order, and they abhor violence and lawlessness. The people universally approved ot President Johnson's procla mation ; and a glow of gratification was felt by the whole country on read ing General Grant's order, recommend ing the State authorities to **call out the militia on the frontier, to prevent hostile expeditions from leaving the United States, aud to save private property from destruction by mobs." There are many "votes" which poli ticians are tempted to court; the "Irish vote," the "liquor-drinking vote," the "southern vote;" but it will be found, in the long run, that the heaviest vote in this country Is* that of the people who desire their country to deal fairly and honestly with all nations, aud who love liberty and equal rights, and sup port law and order at home. The Weeping Mur(ler*~A ftiirgJeal Lec ture Over die Deiul ffudy of Probst. From the Philadelphia North American, June 10. An autopsy of the body of the exe cuted murderer Probst was made in the clinic room of Jeflerson Medical College on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of as many persons as the apartment would contain, all of whom were present by invitation, and most of whom were members of the medical profession. The occasion was the subject of a lecture by Prof. Pancoast, son to the veteran Professor, now unfortunately suffering badly from inflammotion of the eyes, and not able to be present. The lecture and ihe operation lasted lor two hours, und was to the medical stu dents aud pysicians assembled an oc casion of special interest. The body, dark and discolored at the extremities, was placed upon a revolv ing table on the centre of the amphi theatre. The professors occupied the nearest seats, aud up to the highest bench every inch of room was filled. The result of the examination showed that, aside from its ignominy, the man ner of Probst's death produced but one single pang. He died not from conges tion, from asphyxia, or from the frac ture of the vertebrae of the neck; he died from an immense shock, that shattered In an Instant the entire nerv ous system. There was a livid mark around the neck made by the rope. Wheie the knot had been, there was no discoloration whatever, and this show ed that the constriction was only around a portion of the neck. There was no laceration of the structures or the tissues discernible when the neck was opened. The jugular was distend ed with blood. Tue weight of the man was J7(J-pounds, and the surgeon ex pected that a fall of his body three feet and a half would have sundered every part in this locality. Not even the delicate vein9 were injured. The cavity of the chest being exam ined, showed muscular development to a high degree, and the presence ot strata of fat. Death was not caused by want of air, for ihe lungs were fully distend ed, and eveu perfectly healtny in ap pearance; and the right side of the heart, usually congested uuder these circutnstanoes of death, was found in its natural condition. The digestion was perfect. Though the prisoner had breafciast upon bread and butter, with two boiled eggs, the whole were found to have been absorbed, and the stomach absolutely empty. The brain was healthy, but of less than average size. Its weight was thir ty-six ounces; that of Green, the Mai den murderer, was four ounces less. Looking over the whole ground, the young Professor pointed out the inev itable conclusion that Probst died from the effects or the nervous shock result ing from the fall, and from the com pression of the nerves and arteries. The demonstrator took occasion to say that he considered the size of the brain as having no bearing upon the question of intelligence or its opposite. The skeleton will 6e mourned and wired, and will be preserved forever in the anatomical museum of Jefferson College. Claims Against Venezuela,?1The House of Representatives some weeks ago passed a resolution requesting the President to cause to be furnished a list of the claims of American citizens now pending in the United States Legation at Caraccas against Venezuela. The Secretary of Slate reports that a con vention providing for the adjustment of these claims is understood to be un der the consideration of fhe Senate, and this, it is presuo)e4, makes it unneces sary, as it is believed to be inexpedient with reference to the national Interests, to publish the information called for by the resolution. Guy Romance soil Mad Keallly. Correspondence erf the Xew York lie, aid. ? Santiago dk Cuba, May 19. -In a Spanish theatrical oompany, lately here, was a lady, young, hand some, and talented. She has smitten many they say, and in return accepted pro tiered hearts innumerable. This kind of thing is called love, by cour tesy o_uly; but tbe course of such runs oftentimes with as little smoothness as i"*!!*! true ?ve" A 8en"emaii, who shall be nameless, was smitten by this lady, and paid her unremitting atten tion, so much so, that there were strangely enough, rumors of marriage ?for the lady, though very fair, is very j?6 'JJ"' as the gentleman ir not matrimonially iuclined, was an accepted lover of liie strongest tyi>e In course ot time a rival appeared. One day the rivals met; the one glory iug iti his triumph, the other envious and devoured by chagrin ; by no means in a temper to endure each other. They met at dinner; but no wine was need ed to excite men already excited bv Cher's presence. The seen/, though testive, was not gay; nor did the presence of the lady tend to make matters more agreeable. When she rose, the foitunate lover escorted ThI . .I , d9or? an<1 returned to the table in time to hear a bitter remark from his discomfited rival. To make a long story short, a chal lenge was sent and accepted that very night. A duel to the death was agreed on?just think of two men, one a Colo nel in the army, the other a younglaw yer in good practice, one with a family to take care of, both in good positions in society, agreeing that one or the other, or both, should die for a woman who-cared for neither. I think that tbe old Creole hatred of tbe Spaniards had something to do with the immovabie determination of the young lawyer to accept no apoiogy from tho Colonel, did tt,l Jn hjs power to avoid tbe frighttul alteruauves of murder, sui-, ude, or disgrace. His adversary was , inexorable and they fought. At the second fire the successful lover fell. mortally wounded, and in three days more was buried. The Colouel, of course, has left the island. The lady dines tranquilly every day at tho table where tho dispute occurred, not yet a month ago. She sits opposite me, and we talk about it as we do of theatres or any other commonplace matter. Shej is sorry in a commonplace way. "It is such n pity ho was killed; he was such a /ine-iookingyoung fellow. Would I, be kind enough to give her a wing of1 that chicken, with a little of the breast? Poor lellow, he lived not quite two ? yf' ?if8 tbat P?rkst*"k ? Thank you: don t like pork. The ball passed clean through his stomach." And so we gos siped till dinner is over. The Ku rope an Crisis Culminating. ?Thesteamship Hibernian, with Euro pean dates io the 1st inst., brought news most important and interesting in regard to the European complica tions A congress of powers had been agreed upon and would shortly meet, probably at Paris, with Louis Napoi iHon as presiding officer. The objector J^Sw?P?lere,,CG' uocording to the note of invitation sent to the federal diet by the trench government, is to secure a r|! d1'"I1110 settlement of the questions ot Schleswig-Holstein, Venecia and ,^n ^L? ?,r,nVso fur "s they each and all affect the European equilibrium. I he several powers will be represented by the ministers of foreign affairs, with the exception of Austria, who will probably send Prince Metternich But there Is very little expectation or prospect that this Congress will be able to a vert a war. Austria will not listen to the giving up of Venetia. She had already 000,000 men raised; she had ?f"!?" e,n&aged in building | fortihcatious; the headquarters of her I army were about being moved to Jtrrague, and the commander of the ? issued orders to his troops relative to their conduct in a hostile country. And besides, she had levied a forced loan or twelve millions florins In Ltombardo, Venitia, and was report-1 VT1?* to. ?et a distinguished Polish chieftain to head a revolution in , I russiau Poland. Of course, while the Congress is pending she drops active preparations for war, as do Prussia and Holy, where there has been hardly less warlike activity than in Austria; Out it is easily to be seen that they all alike regard the proposed Congresses a mere form, and mean to be ready for vigor ous bghting as so .n as it is declared a failure.
