It now ap pears that there will be nu session of that court at Richmond during the present month, and doubts are expressed whether the Regular term (which by law should commence on the fourth Monday of November next) will be held. In view of this obstruction, and the consequent delay in proceeding with the trial of Jefferson Davis under the prosecution for treason now pending in that court, and there being, so far aa the.President is informed, no good reason why the civil courts of the United States are not competent to exercise adequate jurisdiction within the district or circuit in which the State of Virginia is included, I deem it proper to request your opinion as to what further stepe, if any, should be taken by the Executive with,* view to a speedy, public and impartial trial of the Vvmwd, ac cording to the Constitution and laws of the united States. I am, sir, very respectfully, yours, j. £ * Andrew Johnson. To the Hon. Henry Stanbfery, Attorney General. REPLY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The Attorney General made the ftfflowiug reply: Attorney General*s Office, 1 Washington, Oct 12,1866. / The. President : Sir—I havc.the honor to state my opinion upon the question propounded in your letter of the Gth, as to wpat further may be proper or expedient to be done by the Executive in reierence to the custody of Mr. Davi9, and the prosecution for treason now pending against him in the Circuit Court of the United States for Virginia^ g . 1 am clearly of opinion that there i9 nothing in the present condition oi Virginia.to prevent the full ex ercise of the jurisdiction of the civil courts. Ike ac tual state of things, and your several proclamations of peace and of the restoration of civil order, guaranty to the civil authorities, Federal and State, immunity against military control or interference. It Beema to me that iu this particular there is no necessity for fur ther action on the part of the Executive in the way of proclamation, especially as Congress at the late ses sion required the Circuit Court of the United States to be held at Richmond on the first Monday of May and the fourth Monday of November in each year, and authorized special or adjourned terms of that court to be ordered by the.Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, at such time and on such notice ?s he might presMibe, with the same power and jurisdiction as at regular terms. This is an explicit recognition by Congress that the state of things in Virginia admits the holding of the United States Courts in that State. The obstruction you refer to, it seems to me, can not be removed by auy Executive order. So fkr as I am advised, it arises as follows: Congress on the 22d of May, 18G6, passed an act providing that the Circuit Court of the United Srates, for Virginia, should be held at Richmond on the first Monday of May and on the fourth Monday of Novem ber, in each year, and further providing that all suits and other proceedings, which stand continued to any other time and place, should be deemed continued to the place and time prescribed by the act. The spe cial or adjourned session, which was ordered by the Court to be held in the present month of October, was considered as abrogated by force of this act. This left the regular term to be holden on the fourth Monday of November; and if there had been no fur ther legislation by Congress, no doubt could exist as to the competency of the Chief Justice and the Dis trict Judge of that court then to try Mr. Davis. But on the 23d of July, 1866, Congress passed an act to fix the number of Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, and to change certain judicial circuits. Among other changes in the circuits made by this act, is a change in the fourth oircuit, to which the Chief Justice has been allotted. As this circuit stood prior to this act, when allotted to the Chief Justice, it embraced Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Caro lina and West Virginia. It was' changed by this act by excluding Delaware and adding South Carolina. It is understood that doubts exist whether this change in the States composing the circuit, wijl not require a new allotment. Whether tbi9 doubt is well founded or not, it is certain .that the Executive cannot interfere; for, although, under peculiar circumstan ces, the Executive has power to make au allotment of the Judges of the Supreme Court, yet these circum stances do not exist iu this case. A new allotment, if necessary, can only be made by the Judges of the Supreme Court or by Congress—perhaps only by Con gress. Mr. Davis remains in custody at Fortress Monroe, precisely as ho was held in January last, when, in an swer to a resolution of Congress, you reported coin- municationsjtrom the Secretary of War and the Attor ney General, showing that be was held to await trial In the civil courts. No action was then taken by Con gress in reference to the place of custody. No demand has since been made for liis transfer into civil custody. The District Attorney of the United States for the District of Virginia, where Mr. Davis stands indicted for treason, has been notified that the prisoner would be surrendered to the United States Marshal upon a capias under the indictment, but the District Attorney declines to have the capias issued because there is no other place within the District where the prisoner could be kept, or where his personal comfort and health could be so well provided for. No application has been made within my knowledge by the counsel for Mr. Davis for a transfer of the prisoner to civil custody. Recently an application was made by his counsel for his transfer from Fortress Monroe to Fort Lafayette on the ground chiefly of sanitary considera tions. A reference was promptly made to a board of surgeons, whose report was decidedly adverse to change; on the score of health and personal comfort. I am unable to ace what further action can be taken on the part of the Executive to bring the prisoner to trial. Mr. Davis must for the present remain where he is, until the court which has jurisdiction to try him shall be ready to act, or until hia custody is de manded under lawful process ol the Federal courts. 1 would suggest that, to avoid any misunderstand ing on the subject, an order issue to the commandant of Fortress Monroe to surrender the prisoner to civil custody, whenever demanded by the United States Marshal, upon process from the Federal courts. I send herewith a copy ot a letter from the United' States District Attorney lor Virginia, to which 1 beg to call your attention. I have the honor to be, Ac., Henry Stanbbrx, Attorney General. Office U. S. District Attorney fob- Va., I Norfolk, Ootuber 8,1866. f Bern. Hem'llStanbery, Attorney Gene*alofthe United States: , _ . Sir:—In compliance with your request, I submit herewith the substance of the verbal statement I made you a few (lays since in answer to your inquiry, “Why no demand had been made upon the military authori ties for the surreBder of Jefferson Davis, in order that he might be tried upon the indictment found against him in th6 United States Circuit Court’ at the term held at Norfolk in May last.” Two reasons have influenced me in not taking any steps for removing him from their custody. The one relates to his safe-keeping, the other to his own per sonal comfort aud health. I have never had any doubt but that he would be delivered to the United States Tt^rahai of the District whenever he should have de manded him on a capias or any other civil process. But you can readily understand that so soon as he goes into the baud* of that officer, upon any action had by me, his place of confinement would be one of the State jails ol Virginia. At Fortress Monroe all necessary pmesuoona can be, and are taken, to prevent his escape. Over the internal police of a State jail the Marshal haa no an- thority, and the safe custody of the prisoner could not be secured save at a very great expense. ‘ite .****« bru»«Sh7t MaTmtat afMt'oii^l rwHnuttuettOT 1 rataon by emigre...

The red-mouthed Rads, being largely In the majority at Cape Girardeau, were overjoyed at the disappoint ment of uen.

What taw decent people there are in that'town, when the; betid the General was at the St Charles Hotel, proceeded to gether in front of the building, and load calls being made fur him, he appeared Upon the balcony of the hotel and commenced to speak, when the organised band of murderous cowards commenced to boot and yell at bins, cdliug him a liar, and, although many ladies were present, shouting the meat obscene lan guage they could lay their foul tongues to. General Blair stood unmoved snd undaunted, and looked quietly at tbs btrions rabble. He then told them they were a Bet of contemptible cowards and ruffians—the stripe that garroted honest men in d.vfc alleye, and that mobbed unarmed men for daring to defend tbe -Onion and Constitution. He told them that he had seen traitors before—armed traitors, who dared take up arms and figbrfor their treason, and be wonld not be intimidated w cowardly stay-at-home rattans. When the imarttrooe crew found they could not scare the old soldier, they gathered in a done mob and commented staging “John Brown,- so aa to drown the speaker’s voice. The General and his friends then retired to a hall near by, and organized a meeting, and then the rioters, when they could sneak around without lacing the old soldier, commenced stoning the buildiug, breaking the windows, and at tempted to set the building on file. Many of tbe stones and bricks that were thrown into the windows, tell with great force among the audienck, one of them hitting Gen.

President Johnson and ihe Result.— The Philadelphia Inquirer's Washington correspondent writes under date of Thurs day : Until this afternoon tbe President was con fident in the belief that Clymer was elected jn Pennsylvania, and that there was. no loss in the Congressional delegation, but that there was a gain in tbe Fifth District.
