LAR6EST CIRCULATION IN THE CUT AND BOUNTY SATURDAY, JUNE S, 1866. To uup. Countby Friends.-t-Aa much interest is It throughout thb country ' fn regard to the pros pecta of the cotton and other crops we will he grate ful to our planting friends and others in the interior for information on that subject. Those who have op portunities for obtaining valuable information in regard to the growing crops, the working of the free- labor system, and kindred matters, of general interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. THE SENATE RECONSTRUCTION SCHEME. The reports lliat the President approves the reconstruction scheme as shaped by the lale action of the Senate, although emanating from Washington, we think need confirma tion. It is true that Mr. Johnson has given his approval to one or two features of the plan. The equalizing the basis of representa tion is not in effect different from what be himself had suggested. The exclusion, for a time at least, cf the most prominent states men of the South who led iu the secession movement is what he has advocated, though we are quite sute he will regard the Senate’s scheme of ostracism as too comprehensive, and involving too many of the best men of the South, who will henceforth, if not pro scribed, be serviceable to the Union. But the great point of difference and divergence is iu the proposition of the Senate to make the adoption of the proposed amendment the condition of representation in Congress on the part of the Southern States. His opinions on this matter are well known. He totally denies the right of Congtcss to exact any condition of representation. He has time and again asserted the right of these States to representation, as they are, if they send loyal Senators and Representatives, and he thinks Congress is exceeding its Constitu tional powers and committing a great wrong iu excluding members from the South.— Moreover, it is known that he believes that the States should act freely in making changes in the Constitution, and that a majority of the States have no right to compel a miuority to accept changes in the fundamental law, under penalty of forfeiting a part ot their constitutional rights if they refuse. These are the well kDowu views ol the President, and there is no reason to ex pect that he will modify them. The bill ol condition, therefore, must pass over the President’s veto, if at all, and his influence cannot be expected in favor of the adoption of the amendment by the Southern Slates il it is presented in that shape. There might be some show of tairncss in the proposition to equalize representation ; but it is hardly to be expected that the Southern people can be willing to ostracise many of their best men for the sake of pro curing power for themselves. To do so would be a voluntary infliction of vengeance upon their own trusted leaders ; an act ol degradation so difficult that il is hardly con eeivable that it would be performed under any stress or motive.

We quote from the Times of Wed-/ t=nfrmts; but it is equally true touch nesday: * ■ * i • * - ** saB -INTRANCE OF THE JUDGE—THE COUBT IS OPENED. At quarter past one o'clock, p. in., Judge John C. Underwood entered the courtroom, and taking his seat, ordered the crier to open the court. The crier, in thcr usual forth, .opened the. Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Virginia. THE GRAND JUBY. The Judge then ordered the clerk to call the Grand Jury. The following is a list of the Grand Jury who served at Norfolk, and on the tenth ultimo brought in a bill of indictment for treason against Mr. Jefferson Davis: R. Bigelow, of Alexandria; Isaac Snowden, of Fairfax; John T. Taylor, Alexandria; Chalkley Gillingham, Fairfax; George C. Hews, R. Hodgkin, L. D. Harmon and C. W. Nowland, of Alexandria; F. Decordy, Ge.». W. Singleton, John T. Daniels, John H. Bornm, Chas. H. Whitehurst, W. G. Webber, O. L. Cole, William T. Harrison, of Norfolk; William N. Tinsley, William Fay, Burnham Wardwell, T. Dudley, Jr., and Bum- ham Davis, of Richmond—21. The panel being called the following only responded to their names: Bigelow, Snowden, Taylor, Hews, Harmon. Nowland, Decordy,Whitehurst, Tinsley, Fay, Wardwell, Dudley and Davis—13. This failure of the grand jurors te appear brought the proceedings to an abrupt stand-still, as it seems sixteen was the minimum number indispensable to the transaction of business. The Marshal was dis patched to liud the absent grand jurors, or to secure the presence of other persons who woulci supply their places. Alter a considerable delay the Judge directed the clerk to call J. £. Lipscombe and £L L. Wigaud, that they might be sworn and added to the Grand Jury. At the call of their names the parties who were in court advanced to the clerk's desk, when, upon Mr. Lipscomb’s stating that he would not take the oath (tiiat he had never given aid or comfort to any person iu insurrection against the United States, had “never sympathized with the rebellion,” &c.,) he was dis charged. Wigand took the oath and was enrolled as a grand juror. Again the Marshal went in search of more jurors, and there was during his absence quiet in the court room. During this pause Gen. Henry A. Wise entered and conversed with Mr. Reed. At two o’clock the name of Gilbert C. Walker was called by the clerk, and a tall man, apparently a stran ger in that city, came forward, took the oaths, and was added to the Grand Jury, thus making up the number necessary for business. The following is the panel as made up: J. R. Bige low,ylsaac Snowden, John T. Taylor, Geo. C. Hews, L. D. Harmon, C. W. Nowland, F. Decordy, Charles H. Whitehurst, Wm. T. Harrison, Wm. N. Tinsley, Wo. Fay, Burnham Wardwell, T. Dudley, jr., Burnham Davis, H. L. Wigand, Gilbert C. Walker—16. To this Grand Jury Judge Uuderwood then ad dressed the following charge, duriug the delivery of which not a sound from the Grand Jury or the by standers broke the stillness of the court room: The Coh stood that the Govatnor di lt< A—JjlillHMMI of dll AM attempt to seize at to-day. It la under- aaka for an imqpe- Jl’DCE UNDGR1VOUD’ £ CHARGE Had we met such a charge as that of Judge Underwood to the Circuit Court Grand Jury in any other form than as it appears in the Richmond papers, as a part of the proceed ings of the Court, we would have been eon- strained to regard it as a malicious burlesque on the radical judiciary of the country. Bui the document is genuine, and though Ameri cans, North and South, may blush to own the fact, it must be admitted that a Judge of the United States Circuit Court has, iu the exer cise of his high judicial office, descended to a level of partisan malignity, aud exhibited a degree of personal vindictiveness u npara- lelledin the annals of jurisprudence. The Richmond Times, in an article com menting on this charge, ironically remarks: Those who shall read the calm, dispassionate and learned charge of Judge Underwood, wiU draw their own conclusion*' as to whether the press of this city or its assailant is at this time ‘'raging,'’ “wincing” and “furious.” The refined, educated, brave^men, and gentle, humane, lovely women, whose charms of intellect and manners have tor eighty years made this city famous for its respect for aU the courtesies of life, will be f amused to find their city classed by this ac complished jurist with those of “Congo, Guinea, An gola, Seuegambiu and Uenguela.” We use the word ■■amused” advisedly, because they will not feel one particle of rage or indignation at this classification. The city where Marshall lived, and whose citizens be loved and associated with for half a century, will not "wince” beneath the assaults of Judge Underwood: No! no! neither will those pure, learned and elo quent divines who have so long been the pride and honor of our city do more tnan offer up at the appro priate time a prayer for the official who judicially charges that they were “subsidized” by the “debasing and brutalizing influences” of the traffic in slaves. On the assaults upon the fearless loyal journals which the people of this city sustain and 'respect, we shall not comment at this time. The recognition of their services by tha Court was what waa expected and desired. Having fearlessly defended right and justice, aud sought to maintain the parity and re- ■ptaftbiiity of the judiciary, they expected and are : gWSSfti: for the commendation which they have rc- ■ JJifiming could have been more felicitous than the' ' rsMftica of the Court to the law of the United States 1 pdaKtaiug the "obstruction of justice” by threats, in timidations, bullyings, &c., aud we thoroughly agree w.lh the Court that “whoever attempts to impede or instruct the administration of Justice” should be punished. In revolutionary times men hare, been murdered by unscrupulous officials who have intimi dated juries aud forced them to disregard the law and the evidence. English history is unfortunately full of horrible instances of these “obstructions of justice.” All of us have read of Jeffreys, for instance. .Juries should not be intimidated by threats or menaces. There have been occasional instances of that sort of - thing iu this country, but thanks to the courage of a bold, fearless and noble press, such monstrous perversions of justice have alway s been exposed and denounced. There was, upon the part of a Judge of the Supreme Court in 1800, in this very city, an attempt, m the case of Jobn Thompson Callender, to “obstruct justice." and an impeachment followed the experi ment. Judge Underwood's Charge—He Congratulates the (Jrami Jury that they Still Live—The Press of the City and State Treasonable ami Licentious— Threats Made Against the Or and Jury—It Must Protect Itself, die., dc. Gentlemen of the Gband Juby : I am happy to meet you again, and to know that you still live, notwithstanding the assaults that have been made upon you. Little need to be said in addition to Interview with the President with Ref erence to the trial of Mb. Davis.-Mr. Bra dy one of the counsel for Mr. Davis, stated in a conversation in Richmond on Tuesday last that he had received a letter from Mr- Chas. O’Connor, senior counsel, then in Washing ton, in which the latter said he had bn Mon day, in company with Governor Pratt, of Maryland, visited President Johnson, and had a lengthy conversation with him in re gard to the case of Mr. Davis and his prob able release on bail or parole, in case his trial should be postponed. The President was very guarded ias tais remarks, but ad vised agaiust aDy hopes being based oa the prospect of the privilege of bail pi parole being granted. Mr. QiConnor further stated that a Cabinet meeting waa to be held on Tuesday, at ■which .the case of Mr. Davis would be considered; that he would see the Attorney General oh the same subject, and remain in Washingtonfor the present, unless something might occur to demand his pre sence in this city.

We ought not to bo surprised that the treasonable and li centious press of this State and city should wince and rage, aad become furious, when treason and licen tiousness are exposed And arraigned for trial and pun ishment. Nor should we be surprised at the enor mity and desperation exhibited, when we remember that this city has long been the centre and seat of tbe greatest traffic in human beings that has ever dis graced tbe world—a traffic which has annually em ployed many hundreds of moral monsters and many millions of capital, subsidizing tbe press, pulpit and politics of the State, rendering Richmond more infa mous among men for its particination in this great crime thau ail the cities along the coasts of Senegam- bia, Upper and Lower Guinea, Congo, Loango, Angola ami Bcuguela combined. The wonder rather is that so many traces of kindness, humanity and Christian civilization should have survived such debasing and brutalizing influences; and let ns thank God and take courage that, more fortunate than the devoted ci ties of antiquity, we can connt more than ten men who have stood hero faithful among the faithless The complaints of threatened violence and intimi dation which have been forwarded to me by several of your number for your late heroic aud patriotic action have been submitted to the highest legal and military authorities of the Government, and 1 can assure you of the earnest sympathy and firm support of all the officers of the law, not excepting the President, whom the treasonable now flatter and fawn upon, but whom they Will probably Boon curse as heartily as they did two years ago. But, gentlemen, I am glad to call your attention to a law of Congress which puts your own vindication, as well as that of tbe cotlntry, into yonr own hands. In 1831 Congress enacted, as you will find on page 468 of the fourth volume of the Statutes at Large, us fol lows: “Section 2. And be it further enacted, That if any person or persons shall corruptly, or by threats or force, endeavor to influence, intimidate or impede any juror, witness or officer, in any Court of the United States, in the discharge of his duty, or shall corruptly, or by threats or force, obstruct or impede, or endeavor to obs met or impede, the due administration of jus tice therein, every person or persons bo offending shall be liable to prosecution therefor by indictment, aud shall, on conviction therefor, be punished by fine not exceeding fire hundred dollars, or by imprison ment not exceeding three months, or both, according to the nature and aggravation of the offence. “Approved March 2,183L” You will thus have it in yonr power to exercise a wholesome restraint upon licentious tongues and pens, and upun a press which, aa a blind leader of the blind, has been and still is one of the chief causes of past, present and prospective calamity and misfor tune. The murders, duels, assassinations, violent and un governed passions, ending in self-conflagration and self immolation unparaleled in any heathen country; the poverty, suffering, agony and degradation, which have given this city of almost nneqalled natural capa bilities, ite bad eminenom are the legitimate fruit of the teachings of its public prats, and anything yon can bo able to contribute towards Us reformation, will, in the highest degree, be serviceable to the cause of the country and of humanity. Bat, gentlemen, let ns act with moderation and’ discrimination, for though a prostituted press is one of tbe greatest calamities, a free and virtuous press is one of the greatest public blessings—the greatest ornament and support of public virtue. At the conclusion of his charge the Judge said: In the absence of the foreman Mr. Morrison will act as foreman df the Gruid’ Jury. The Grand Jury having retired to their room. Judge Underwood said: We shall be bappy to War from members of,the bar, always glvmgqwefcretiee to nsembfera from a distant ,' wuat n ion pone" With- the atmCtukifr V is MB. DAVIS TO BE TBIED ? William B. Heed, Esq., of Philadelphia, arose aud addressed tbMQonrt aa follows : May it please your Honor, I beg to present mysely in conjunction with my colleagues, aa the counsel of Jefferson Davis, now a prisonor of State at Fortress with this,high offence, and it has seemed to ns due to Monroe, and under indictment for high treason in your Honor's Court. We find on the records of your Honor's Court an indictment charging Mr. Davis the cause of justice, due to this tribunal, due to the feeling of one soft or another which may be described us crygtalizing around tha unfortunate man, that wc should come at the very earliest day to this tribunal and;ask of yoimjlonor. Or more properly: the gentle man who represents tbe United States, the simple question. What is proposed to be done with this in dictment ? Is it to be tried?. Jilt (sad this is a ques tion perhaps that Ihave no right .to ark.) is it to be withdrawn ? or Is it to be suspended? If it is to be tried, may it please yonr Honor, speak ing for my colleagues and for myself Hid ,for, the ab sent client, I say with emphaaia—anij 2 toy It with earnestness—that we come here prepared Instantly to try that cause; and we shall ask no 'delay at yonr Honor's hands, further than is nqeeasary to bring the prisoner to face the eourt, and to enable him, under the statute in such case made and pro vided, to examine tbe bill of indictment agailuthim. Is it to be withdrawn ? If so, justice and humanity seem to prompt that we should know. Is it to be sus pended—postponed? If so, toay it please the court, with all respect to your Honor and the gentleman who conducts the public business here, yonr Honor mast understand us as entering opr most earnest pro test. We ask a speedy trial on any charge that may be brought against Mr. Davis here or in any other civil tribunal in the land. We may be now here represent ing, may it please the Court, a dying man.

A* a citizen of Savannah I must enter my protest against the building of this road, until the citizens who are identified with the interests of Savannah are consulted on the subject. An act to incorporate a company for the pur pose of laying down carriage railways in cer tain streets in the city of Savannah, ibr ope rating the same under a grant or ordinance of the City Council of sAid city, and for other purposes, was passed by the last Legislature on certain conditions. When the bill came up on its passage, Mr. Russell, of Chatham, violently opposed it. It was referred to the Committee on Internal Improvement, who reported against the passage of the same. When the bill was put upon its final passage Mr. R. was addressing the House in favor of sustaining the report of the Committee. General Harrison, who introduced the origi nal bill, as I am informed, interrupted Mr. It., and made a proposition to amend the act by inserting the following, viz : “That this charter shall have no force or effect until the subject shall have been referred to the legal voters of said city of Savannah and county of Chatham, and be affirmatively en dorsed by a. majority of the legal voters;” which proposition was accepted by Mr. R.

Your last session ijpnla nf n,; a • has made you historical, and I trust the efforts which ‘Uents Ot this City or State, or in any way identified with our interests to take upon themselves to build railways in our streets, without first submitting this qqes tion, a9 tbe law requires* to the legal voters of i his city and county. Are you, fellow citizens, quietly to submit to this monopoly, and to allow ihem to obstruct our streets, and carry freight from one end of the city to the other, to the great injury of a large num ber of poor men who depend upon their drays and wagons for the daily support ol their famines? Look to it that injustice shall not be done to the poor class of our citi zens. A Native of Savannah. Militaby Intebtebencx with Orra. Ooubts.—In the case of Anthony Lawson t>«. Henry Davis, which was a suit in the Alexandria Circuit Court to recover property sold by the United States for taxes during the war, whan it was called for a hearing the other day, the clerk submitted to Judge Thomas an ordor the United States Provost Marshal had sent him, stat ing that— “To allay uneasiness and prevent litigation con cerning titles to lands and other property confiscated and sold by authority of the United States Govern ment during tho recent rebellion, it is directed that no person wilhiu the limits of this department, who has duly acquired title to property by such sales shall be disturbed in tbe possession or control of the same by the action of any State or municipal court. “The action of the Federal courts in relation to such property will alone be regarded. “ Commanding officers and the Provost Judge at Alexandria will report to these headquarters, imme diately, any attempted violation'of this order.” This order was given by direction of Gen. Auger, United States army. Judge Thomas protested against such violation of the rights of the courts, and directed the whole matter to be referred to President Johnson. Lincoln's Opinion of Neoboes.—The folio wing ex tract from a speech of the late President Lincoln would not make a very good campaign document for the radicals : I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making jurors or voters of negnen nor intermarrying them with tho white people; SMI will say, in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the black and white races, which I believe will ever for bid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And, inasmuch as they so live while they remain together, there must be the posi tion of superior and inferior, and L *s much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior posi tion assigned to the white man.

Brown, of Missouri; Mr. Dixon, of Conn; Mr. Nesmith, of Oregon, and Mr. Wright, of New Jersey. Hie final report of the Reconstruction Committee, setting forth the reasons for the action of the majority was read in both Houses of Congress to-day. The conclusions of tbe Committee are briefly as follow! : That the pcoplo of the South have proved them selves to be insurgents and traitors, and aa such have forfeited all political rights and privileges. That the so-called Confederate States are not entitled to repre sentation in Congress. That before allowing them such representation, adequate security 'for Qe future peace amfesafety of the country should be required from them, and this can only be found in such changes of the organic law aa shall determine the civil rights and privileges of their citizens in all parts, of the Republic. That representation should be on an equitable basis, and that a stigma should be fixed on treason, and protection given to loyal people against future claims for expenses incurred in carry ing on the rebellion aud for slaves emancipated by the war. The^p should also be an express grant at power in Congress to enforce these provisions to their end. The committee advocate the joint resolution an datory of the Constitution, and two separate bills designed to carry the same into effect. They also claim, in conclusion, that these bills are the rseult of concilia tion and concession. The report is signed by ten Republican members of the committee. Tha dissentants are Senators John son, of Hd., and Representatives Grider, of Kentucky, and Rogers, of New Jersey. FENIAN MEETING AT COOPER INSTI TUTE. THE PRESIDENT DENOUNCED.
