In a very few days, I have excellent authority for stat- ing, the press will be called upon to announce the re- lease from confinement of Jeff Davis, on parole or bail, to at all times render himeelf amenable to the process of the court, which it is expected will dispose of his case next October, As his release on this condition is now probable, it seems proper to advert, at the risk 6f appe ing egotistical, to the agency to which the coming event may be chiefly ascribed. THR HERALD EXPOSE. In claiming for the Heraxn, through its humble cor- respondent, the credit of eflecting this benevolent design on the part of the Executive, it is not intended to make light of the zealous efforts of the devoted wife and dis- tinguished counsel of the prisoner; but it may eafely be usserted that neither the tears nor entreaties of Mrs. Davis, mor the arguments or influence of Mr. O'Conor were capable of producing the least cifect on the President so long as there existed the slightest grounds for believing that Mr. Davis was accessory to the murder of Mr. Li The e posure by the Hxrann of the conspiracy to convict Davie by suborming witnesses, and of the fraudulent proceed- ings of the Judiciary Committee, led the President to direct inquiry to be privately made ii those sulyects, which resulted in satisfying his mind that not only had -an atrocious conspiracy been concocted by certain radicals to hang Davis in order to complete the bumilia: tion of those represented by him during the rebeilion, and continue, or rather revive, with increased intensity, their animosity to the people of the North, and thus pre- vent tho perfect restoration of the Union, but that there really existed no evidence of Davis’ complicity in the assassination, and no grounds for doubting his cutire inno cence. The exposure at the same time encouraged ronewrd offorts on tho part of Mr. O'Conor, and induced the Pres!- dent to order a medical inquiry mto the physical condition of Davis, the result and report whercof leave no ravm to. doubt that the health of the prisoner is rapidly declim- ing. Thus it may justly be claimed that, through she exposure by the Heratp of the villanous conspiragy of the radicals, the President has beon placed iu a pesition to perform an act of magnanimity, not to sayjusiicc, which will reflect credit on himself and the government, and prevent the further comparison of ogt beautiful Fortress Monroe to the Bastile and St, Hela. ‘The conditional release of Davis is favgted by the At- torney General, and, in fact, by every member of the Cabinet excepting Stanton, and the iatter is far less em- phatio in his opposition sine® the exposure by the Hx- RALD of the radical conaptracy, and the publication of the correspondence botween his friend and counterpart, coln.

Wearcursten oust, New York, Nov, 14, 1865, Mr. Saxproxm Coxover—Dran Sir:—1 have been looking for more than a week for the $500 draft promised me from you or the Judge, but liave been disappointed, I don’t think t have been treated exactly on the square, rly $1,000 than I have, and youl stretched my conscience just as much as be did, and my testimony, as you and the Judge both suid, was just as im jant as his, Idon't tike to find fault, but I tike still less to bee or to borrow, as Lam obliged to, from Campbell, when | ought to be just as well of as he. Idon’t mean to complain, for! know you have much to attend to, and can't do everything at ones, but fall the rest have been better paid than myself, I ought not to be forgot. Please do tot fall to send draft by return ma:!, for you know this ls an awful place to be in without money; and your petitioner will ever pray, Respectfully, yours, JOSEPH SNEVEL, ‘Hore it wilt be eeen that this perjurer, as far back as Novembez last, had received from the government crib, through the Bureau of Milltary Juctice, a large sum of money, and was then waiting for $500 more, which had been promised him, and that the perjurer Campbell had at the same time received still more by nearly $1,000, Jt will be remembered that it appeared by the corre- spondence between the Judge Advocate General and Con- over and Campbell, published in the Heratp of the 12th inst., that in March another $500 was sent by the Judge Advocate General to Campbell, and at the same time a sum not stated in the correspondence, but probably not Jess than $500, to Suevel. How much these parties re- ceived between November and March they and their patrons nly know; but Lam credibly informed that they each received not less than $1,000 more. When it is re- membered that seven or eight other witnesses were sub- orned and paid as Wberally as the partios named (and Snevel charges that they were paid more liberally), and that several agents were employed and had to be paid for suborning and training them, it ts not difficult to see that this mdical conspiracy has robbed the governinent of an immense sum of money, CARTER TO CONOVER, The follow! ng letter by another of the suborned wit nesses, a clerk in the Quartermaster's department, is written on the back of @ quartermaster's order in blank for transportation from Balt more over the Northern Central Haiitoad, ond enclosed in an official onvelop marked, “Official business, Depot Quartermaster’s oilice, Battuaore, Maryland: — Quantenmasren's Orrice, April 27, 1866, Dran Coxoven:—F received yesterday morning a lotrer from Campbell from New York, threatening to «0 before the Judiciary Committee and expose ail U dovised in the Davis case, and asking mo. te him, as he and all who will, witt get Ia Jeff's friends for doing 80, I started immediately for Wasbington and saw General Holt, and gave him Camp. bell’ letter, The General assured mo that he had known of Campbeil’s defection for some time, and that you bad written the chairman of the committee not to ex: amine him, aod that he bimeet? had arranged to send a Judge Advocate to New York that evening to see y with full instructions, and that you would no doubt able to get the scamp in the traces gain, or keep away and let only such come before the committee ax can be relied on.

Turner, sent by bim on the business referred to in the preceding letter: — JUPGR HOLT To SANOFORD CoNoTRR Want Deranrarsr, ) Berear oF Marrany Jownce, - Wasurxoros, 0. C April 26, 1806.)

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. HOLT, Judge Advocate General. ‘That the bearer of the above did communicate with Conover in regard to the business which took him to New York, and communicate more than it was easy or prulent to say by letter, there can be no doubt, but novertheless Campbell, as the public are already aware, was pushed before the committee and retracted every word of ‘what he had sworn for the Bu- reau of Military Justice, HOW THN EXPOSR WAS BROUGHT ABOUT. ‘The strategy by which Davis’ friends managed to get Campbell before the committee after his avowed defes- tion and threat to expose the radical plet may be ex- plained in a few words. As soon as the apostacy of the wily perjurer was discovered, extensive measures, as disclosed by the foregoing letters of ‘Carter’ and the Judxe Advocate General, were adopted to return him to the fold, when the reprobate protended to repent his treacherous designs, and promised, in consideration of another largo sum, to repeat before the committee what he had deposed to the Bureau of Military Justice, but no sooner was he ushered into the committee's august presence than be forgot his last promise to the conspira- tors and told the truth, and—need it bo said—actually made Jack Rogers laugh.

Yours, traly, 8, CONOVER. It will be seen by the above letter that the conspira- tors did not despair making outa strong case agaiust Davis fora considerable timo after the open treachery of Campbeli, and had several sharp witnesses in training, to give overwhelming evidence against him; but as soon as the Hruanp exposed the conspiracy and the under- haud proceedings of the Judiciary Committes, and gave & report of Campbell's deposition Jor the Bureau of Mili- tary Jastice, and his contrary testimony before the com. mittee, they abandoned their dovilish ontorprise, and thought only of saving themselves from exposure, But they could not all cxeape; some bave been driven, and others will follow into “the last ditch,” 60 dreaded by Conover, and iu the wud and mire we are content to Jouve them. RYPORTS TO SROURE DAVIS’ PARDON, As Thave already stated it is almost certain that in a few days Mr. Davis will be released on parole or bail; but this bit of clemency, desirable as it is, will fail far short of satisfying his friends, Kver since the exposure of the plot to connect him with the assassination of President Lincola, and the failure of the Judiciary Com- mitteo to flad any evidence to criminate him, and especially sinee the adjournment of the National Union Convention, several prominent Southerners, includiag Governor Perry of South Carolina, backed by influential men of the North, have been quietly endeavoriag to in- duce the President to grant him a full pardon. This clemency is advocated on several grounds, but chiefly as a measure of State policy. It is urged that a general amnesty, including Mr. Davis, or his speciat pardon, would produce the most salutary results, The people of the South have renounced the heresy of secession, have accepted without murmur the result of the war, have endorsed fuily the views and policy of the President on the great tasues growing out of the struggle, and are to a man doing everything in their power to restore their erring States to their original stiftus in the Uniouw, Some of the most prominent leaders of the rebellion are now foremost In the endeavor to restore harmony and revive social and political inter- course botween the North and South, without which the Union cannot be made perfect ; and it issincerely believed that the triat of Davis for treason, and the consequent discussion of the great principles and questions which Jed to the rebellion, and the numerous side issues which would necessarily arise, would produce unpleasait re- flections throughout the South, and detract attention and interest from the all important subject of the resto- ration of the Union, The Southern people cannot be. come indifferent to the fate of Davis, They cannot with « posnre see him tried and punished for having, in obedience to their wishes, assumed the Chief Magistracy of tho Confederacy. He was merely the instrument and servant of the people, and they can see no reason why he should not receive as mach clemency as themselves, What encouragemont they bave received from the Presi- dont will probably transpire in a few days, QUR FORTRESS MONROE CORRESPONDENCE. Proclamation--More Rumors About Davis—A Regatia Race. Fortams Moxnor, August 21, 1866. ‘The proclamation of the President restoring the writ of habeas corpus throughout the Southern States, removing martial law and declaritty peace, order, tranquillity and civil authority to exist throughout the United States, following se close on his speech in reply to the commit- tee charged with presenting him an authenticated copy of the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention, has here and hereabouts, a# no doubt {t has elsewhere through. out the Southern States lately in armed hostility to the government, created a furor of unbounded enthusiasm for Mr. Johnson.

On tracing the ramor I tnd its starting point to have been a teleg sent him by Mra. Davis from Montreal, The telegram was:—‘All well-teave Lere to-morrow.” Some operator, interpreting this as the successful result of & mission to secare Mr. Davis his parole, stated this asthe fet, and thie the story got going.

The game betweea the above named clubs, played on Wednesday afternoon at Hoboken, proved to be sharply and nicely played. The umpire betng prompt and pre- cise in calling balls and strikes, in accordance with the sixth rule of the National Association, kept both sides pretty well down to the work, and made the game more interesting than it might otherwise have been. Bui this strictness on the part of the umpire did not seem to suit some of the players, und it is necessary to on record the fact of an open insult having been given to the um- pire for doing what he knew to be hix duty. Mr. Klein, of the Eokford Club, has played bali long enough cer- tainly to be able to control his tongne, if not bis temper, and acquiesce in the decisions of an umpire, even it they are wrong.

There was a slight increase porceptiblo ém the number of delegates present, the long looked and eagerly hoped for brethren and sisters of the great West having at last duly arrived.

If such a course were age tempted the ranksof the spiritualists would be broken and their usefuiness as the pioneers of progress de- stro} As this outburst seemed wholly unprovoked by any previous public action of the convention, some curiosity was excited as to its origin, and the unhappy trath was discovered that among the most blatant of the truth seekers a conspiracy existed to make the present con- vention subserve the interests of their own private opimons, Itseems that upon certain points, such as the legality of war, there are great differences of opinion, even among those whose steps are guided by converse with the representatives of the wisdom of the seventh heaven, It appears, further, that a large number of tha delegates wish the convention to make public declaration of principle on these contested points, ‘The minority are anxious to avoid this, and as the surest means of doing so dispute altogether the authority of the conventien to take sneh action, They also wish to com- fine the ’speechinaking as well us the yoting to duly eiected delegates. On these questions there was am angry discusston of more than aif an hour, Mir, Cua-#, who spoke several times yesterday, and seoms Intent on doing so every day, said, in behalf of the exclusion party, that the former spiritualist conventions hud ignominivusly failed because of the pre sence of half ® dozen deranged and partiatiy developed mediums. They had hoped to obviate this difficulty on the present occasion by receiving only” such as wore duly elected delegates, and so excluding all that class of persons who conld not behave decently and consistently before the public. If it were decided to open this Convention as the former ones had beem opened to all it would be unsuccessful and only serve to expose their cause to the ridicule of ag mam and people, Mr. Fis spoke ina gimilar strain. In the course of his remarks he said he had been present at political com- ventions, and he bad never heard of unauthorized per- sons being there admitted to the floor. Mr. Tooley, the Fenian spirituahst, then replied with great vebomence to the last two genticmen. He satp Mr. Fish had plumed bimse!f on having been a politician. What the deuce did he (the speaker) care for that? Were the rales of a corrupt assemblage of hungry olfice acekers to apply with any force to proceedings of a com- vention of progressi' iritualists ? Various other geatiemen aleo ex the matters in dispute, bnt the closed by a pale young lady from conn bicesod with a verv ‘© erauiological development, She sai@ that sho was ashamed of the spiritualists of the United States. She had listened with great pan to the discussion which had just pacsed. She begau to believe that true, noble-souled spiritualisis were as scarce a: earnest Christians. She had hoped that the body of peopie them present would have shown thomselves worthy of their principles. She-fenred very much that spiritualism did very litleactual goer What was the use of talking without works? How many poor creatures were at that very moment materially destitute? Jt was the duty of all #piritualists to aid with their last dollar the poor and noedy, and to sutter, if need be, together ,with them. She did not wish berself to be happy if othors must be miserable. If one poor soul was shut out irom heaves and cast into hell, ahe, for one, wanted to go to hell too. After the delivery of a written essay by Mr, Childs oa the wickedness of punishing crime and the sacred dt of tan to adhere firmly to the doctrines of Fourier and Jesus Christ, dating which most of the people fell oaee and the others cat candy, the Convention adjourned the afternoon, At two o'clock the Convention again met. For the first hour the floor was open to anybody for a ten minutes’ speech on any subject he chose, Noth! of any particular consequence was said One old gea- Ueman, however, recited from memory some verses| on the Iate war, purporting to be the composition of Andrew ‘Jackson, communicated to this lower world through a congenial mediom. After three o'clock the speaking was confined toa definite subject—“Tue advantages of spiritualista’ lyceums for the education of children as comparcd witt, the Sabbath schools of the Orthodox church, The re- ma nder of the session was employed in presenting dm evory availablo elocntior form the beneticcnt of inculcating upon the e fant mind the grand truths of the table-turning gee pe! In the evening the delegates again collected together and listened with delight to several incomprebcasible orations, The conveution was finally adjourned umsit Friday morning.
