Mr, Trenholm, ex-Con- federate Secretary of the Treasury, was examined, but what he said remains hidden in the breasts of the honor- able committee, In the newspapors of late a great deal of stuff has appeared as to the proceedings of the Im- Peachment Committee. Tho only merit this stuff can claim is, that it made the members laugh over tho vety absurdity of developments that never had avy existence sayé in the lively imaginations of correspondents. The fact 1s, the proceedings of the investigation are strictly guarded from publication, and all the stories of what this, that, or tho other man said, are pure fabrications, Mr. Ashley is here to stir up the impeachment, and Mr. Covode, of Pennsylvania, also appears on the acene as ehief backer of J. M, A, The ‘Injunction Cases tn the Supreme Court. Attorney General Stanbery was ongaged at the Su- preme Court during to-day in replying to the arguments of Robert J, Walker and Obarles O’Conor in the great injunction cases, The preparation of hia argument in these cases has prevented him from devoting any atten - tion to the completion of his opinion of the Reconstruc- tion law, so that the document in question wili not be ready to submit to the Uabinet at its session to-morrow, Speculations Hegarding the Case ef Jef Davis. ‘There is much speculation still indulged as to what is to be done with Jeff Davis. Mrs. Davis, according to some authorities, is here, and according to others is not, To-night a very bigh authority denies that Mre. Davis has beem here at all during the past fortnight. It is Stated, also, this evening, on excellent authority, that the case of Jeff Davis will form the principal subject for discussion- at the Cabinet meeting to-morrow, Every- thing seems to indicate that this troublesome matter is approaching a solution, and that ene of three things will be done with Mr. Davis before the summer is over. He will be either tried, admitted to ball, or pardoned. It ia, moreover, said that petitions.to the President are in circulation obtaining signatures, which are to accompany the application of Mr. Davis for pardon in case he should ‘be prevailed upon by-his friends to adopt that course. T learn to-night that Chief Justice Chase has written a letter to afriend in Richmond, in which he expresses his intention of visiting that city daring the term of the ‘District Court now im session there. This seems to be ‘one of the straws showing which way the wind blows, and no doubt bas something to do with the trial of Jef! Davis. ‘The Chief Justice may be expected in Richmond on the day called for in the writ wsued by Judge Under- wood. The Chief Justice will mot preside, becauso of military role, &c,, but it is said he will personally super- ‘vise the Judicial proceedings im this long expected trial. 1, H. Chandler, Esq., District’ Attorney of Norfoll, has written to Secretary Stanton requesting him to or- der the commanding officer at Forireas Monroe to de- liver Mr. Davis into the custody of the United States Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, should a writ Of habeas corpus be issued, There seems. to be no one desirous of having Mr, Davis further imprisoned with- out trial. Senator Stewart is very emphatic in the con- demnation of the policy hitherto adopted in relation to the great Stave prisoner, and he declares that his views are the views of nearly or quite all of his party. He thinks that it is an ouirage that Mr, Davis should have ‘been 20 long confined w:tvout a trial, and he thinks that the countries of Evru,«. are surprised at such course of “justice” in Amvrica.

Judge Underwood charged the Grand Jury to see to the enforcement of the laws of the United States; called their attention particularly to the ‘unmitigated isioyalty of the newspaper press”” of that city, and ite mischievous effects; the brutal rejection of colored peo- ple from the street cars, and dwelt upon the leniency shown by the government to offenders against the law, who in other countries would have received the punish- ment of death. John Minor Botts was foreman of the Jary. ‘The most remarkable feature of the occasion was ‘the presenice on the jury of five colored citizyna, They are all very intelligent looking. men. One of them is the firet colored notary ever appointed by the State of Virginia, As the jurors came fn groups of four to take the oath, two whites and two blacks held the book at the same time—s wonderful fact in the history of the Old Dominion. These may be among the immortal twelve to try Jeff Davie. The Suppression of Pollard’s Lecture in Vir- ainia. . Another bone of contention has developed itself in Virginia, I learn here to-night that H. Rives Pollard has. submitted his protest (involving the right of free specch) against the decision of General Wilcox, commanding at Lynchburg, who prevented the delivery of his lecture on “The Chivalry of the South” in that city, to General Schofield, The General, after mature deliberation, sus- tained the order, and refused permission for the delivery of the lecture in that city. Pollard intends now to refer the matter to the President. If unsuccessful in this quarter, be intends to ‘seek # place where freedom of speech will not be denied him. The Postmaster General Has Not Resigned. ‘The statement that Postmaster General Randall bas tendered bia resignation seems to be s misiake. Tho inquiry having been made to-day of Mr. Randall whether the report was true, be replied that he knew nothiag of the matter until he saw it in the newspap>rs, and that the newspapers had no business to say anything of the kind, He bad not offered his resignation in any shape whatover, but if tho President should request it be would req)ga. ‘The Case of Sanford Conever. Im the Criminal Court to day the appeal of Messrs. Lander and Gooding, in the case of Sanford Conover alias Charles A. Dunham, convicted of perjury in con- nection with the conspiracy trials, was allowed ; and the Court, at the instance of the counsel of the criminal, granted a stay of the execution of the sentence—ten years in the penitentiary—until the lst day of Jane. The Arkansas Legisinture Ordered not to Reassemble. Gencral Ord, Commander of the Fifth military district, has instructed Governor Murphey to notify the members of the Provisional Legislature of Arkansas, lately in ses- sion, that their reconvening 1s incompatible with the act of Congress to provide a more efficient government for the rebel States, passed March 2, 1967, and that they therefore wil! not reassemble. The Governor, in agree- ment with these instructions, has by proclamation de- clared the Logisiature dissolved, and that any reassem- bling thereof will be a violation of the Reconstruction act of Congress.

Disbursements of the Contingent Fand, A lotter from Secretary Seward, giving a stavement of disbursements of the contingent fand of his department for 1866 is just published. It contains many interest. ‘tng items, showing among other things that soap and borseflesh are in good demand at the State Departinent. The outlay for soap and washing was two hundred and sixty dollars, while that for livery reached nearly seven handred doliara, The three following Items are worthy of record:—For prosonts to Tunisians, $981; for treaty boxer, $1,022; for board of Queen Emma, $1,867, and to R. & Chilton, State Department, for Quecn Emma, $233, The amount for treaty boxes, it will be noticed, runs ap bigh.

Mr. Colfax’s Speech Before the Union League Last Night. 2 Mr. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, delivered a lecture last evening at Irving Hall in aid of the Southern Famine Relief Fund. Subsequently, by appointment, he visited the Union League Ciub House, in Union square, where he was cordially welcomed by a numerous company. Mr. John Jay, the President of the League, introduced Mr. Colfax to the audience with some appropriate re- marks, SPEECH OF MR. COLFAX. Mr, Colfax, on rising to respond, was greeted with cheers, He spoke as follows:— It is easy, Mr. President and gentlemen of the Union League Club, when trebly armed with the merits of a good cause, to bear or answer the atlacks of enemies; but it is always difficult to reply to the cordial greetings and the partial langnage of valued friends, Waithful as Thave always striven to be to principle and duty, the Tong continued confidence of stituents has been both an incentive and a re- ward, But when gentlemen conspicuous as your- selves in this great metropolitan city, sdentitied with this noble organization on which the government leaned in the darkest hours of trial and peril, join with them in this endorsement, I scarcely know what words to use as @ fitting acknowledgment, and can only say “would that I were worthier.” We scarcely realise (and I must speak again of our country as in the lecture hall an hour age) how rapidiy and yet how gloriously #o are making history; bat posterity will read it om the my immediate con- open of our "s annals.
