Neither this Court nor any of its officers has any resent control over the person of Mr Davis and until they have, it becomes impossible for the District Attorney to say when he wiil be tried, but this I assure the gen- Uemen, who represent him here, that the hour Mr. Davis comes into the custody of this court they shall have full and prompt notice when it ts intended to try him, and so far as the Dis- trict Attorney and his associates are concerned they may be assured their case will haye a just and speedy trial without further let or hin. drance.

In the meantime the crystallize- tion process referred to by the learned gentie- man yesterday will be going on, and his client will be enjoying the cool breezes of the sea at Fort Monroe, instead of inhaling the heared and fetid atmosphere of a crowded court room. James T. Brady, of New York. oue of the counsel for Mr. Davis, then said: If your honor please, 1 did not expect to say one word this morning in reference to the case of Mr. Davis, but some of the suggestions contained in what my learned friend has just read make it proper for me to state that if Mr. Davis be not technically subject to your honor’s jnris- diction, it 1s only because no copy of this ia- dictment so tar as 1 am advised has been served upon him, nor any liet of witmesses, nor any act done of those which are required by the statute. 1t may be true that iu this technical sense he cannot now &nd never has been amenable to your authority: but my brother counsel, Mr. stated that Mr. Davis was not claimmg the benefit of any ot those wants of forms, cut that on the contrary he was here The President required a report from the Attorney General's Office showing the number of pardons granted by hira since he has occu- pied the Executive chair; and to-day the re. quiitd report was made by the Attorney General, stating the number of criminal par- dons issved by President Johnson since April 15, 1865, to be 161, and the number of political pardons 12.381.
