Wasmivotom, Nov. 9, 1867, 1 11:30 o'Clock P.M. § Trial of Jef Davis—Efforts of the Junior Coun- eel for the Gioverament te Secure a Hoar- jag This Month. District Attorvey Chandler is exerting himself to the best of bis ability to secure the trial of Jefferson Davis at the present November term of court. Learning that the Attorney General has consented to a postponement of the case until the May term, at the earnest request Of the associate counsel for the government, Mr. Chand- Jor to-day telegraphed to Mr. William M. Evarts, of New York, and R. H. Dana, Jr., of Boston, to meet him and General Wells in this city in the early part of next week, It is said that Mr. Chandler's object in calling @ Consultation Is to endeavor to overcome their objections toa trial this month. Affairs in Virginia—The Threatening Aspect of the Negroes—The Coming Convention. Information from Richmond, Va., to-night states that the incendiarisin of the Hunnioutt radicals is becoming more open and violent. They had a meeting last night, @t which Hunnicutt made a speech in which he de- nounced all the attacks made on bim as slanders and their authors as liars and scoundrels, and denounced the New York Tribune for publishing something about him, Resolutions purporting to express the views of the republican party and. endorsing Hunnicutt were offered, Wardwell, a prominent radical, opposed them and was hissed down. Lewis Lindsay, one of the nogro delegatos elected from Richmond to Ahe Constitutional Convention, made a specch in which he gaid, “I thank God that I bave learned to use tbe musket, pistol and ramrod, 80 that when the time comes for me to do {t I may yse them effectually.’’ To the men who had been discharged for voting the radical ticket he said, “Before my childreo shall be hungry for bread, streets of this city shall run knee deep with blood.” A committee was appointed to petition General Schofield to order a municipal election in Richmond immediately. The names of prominent gentlemen known to be repub- licans, bat not affiliated with Hunnicutt and his set, wore placed on this committee without their knowledce Or consent. Considerable anxiety seems to be felt throughout the State of Virginia in relation to the threatening behavior of the colored mon. In many portions of the State they have refused to make contracts to do farm labor for the next year except as tenants, or for a share of the crops. Reliable information from a number of the counties re- presents that they are drilling regulariy tn evolutions and the manoualofarms. They are armed with shot guns, muskets, sticks, pikes, &c. It is thought that the con- vention will not be in session more than two weeks. No provision was made by the last I-gisiature to meet the expenses of such a body, and many of the members can- Bot remain long in session without their per diem. tis confidently asserted that the constitution has already been prepared in Washington, and the convention will merely have to adopt it avd adjoura. The Case of Lawyer Bradiey—The Juuge Fisher’s Order Exc Him from the Sar. In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to~ day, Mr. Bradley read a etatement in answer to the rule of the court for him to show cause why he should not be excluded from the bar as « practising attorney, owing to his difficulty with Judge Fisher. Three of the judges ‘were present, vin, Carter, Olin and Wylie, Judge Fisher was absent, Robert J. Walker made an argument in Mr. Bradley's bebalf, when the full court, through Chief Justice Catter, sustained the order of Judge Fisher, beretofore suspending Mr. Bradley as a practitioner at the bar. Chief Justice Catter, in the course of his re- marke, ssid it was a painful duty, but it was necessary that the Court should sustain its dignity and punish the contempt. Mr. Bradley thanked the Court for tne deli. cate manner in which it had announced its decision, and said that be had long ago contemplated retiring sltoge- ther from the bar, but that the present manner of sev- ering bis connection with the Court rendered the sepa- ration the more unpleasant.

A Warniug tothe Impenchers to Beware of “*Condign Punishment.” {From the Washington Intelligencer—the President's organ—Nov. 9.) It {a bolieved by many well informed persons in Wash- imgtoa that individuals could be named among the members of the rump, as well as ices ituport- ant personages, who have conspired by force, intimida- tion and threat, to prevent certain bigh functiona- ries from holding and exercising offices, trusts, ‘and places of confidence in the government of the United summation. These suspicions, put forth, however, with uncommon confidence by those who circulate them, are said to be encouraged by recent elaborate re- Pubtications{ of expressions used from time to time by. gentlemen who bave been supposed to represent them- selves as ing the sentiments of a distinguished but reticent officer. We do not profess to know what foundation there may ‘ve for enterprises so desperate and so criminal Leas observation of the infatuation which afflicts pubiic men about to lose power, or who have been struck with am- bition for the Presidency, would, indeed, uave rendered us wholly increduious of any atiempt hoe leaders of the retiring faction to augment their diminishing hold upon the reins of control by undertakings 80 mad, Never- theloes, aserious remark may sot be untimely upon the a ee ers le to @ pro- dishonor and destroy not only all who por hen Mea in fe bat all who had shown countenance or ‘tolerance for a sedition eo senseless, and, in acountry of 1c law, eo audacious.
