and required bail, which Summers declined
giving, and was committed. Application be-
ing made to Chief Justice Bowie, he declined
to grant a writ of habeas corpus, giving a writ-
ten opinion sustaining the magistrate. He
admits there are doubts as to the constitution-
al idea of the Civil Bights bill on other points,
yet not seeing clearly a breach of the Federal
Constitution on the particular point bearing
on the case and following the usages and
decisions of the highest coarts, he was bound
to assume that Congress had not violated

Mr. Adams wrote to Mr. Seward so long
ago as June 15, 1865, that intense interest
was manifested in Europe concerning the fate
of Jefferson Davis; that in his opinion there
had been slaughter enough, and that he (Mr.
Adams) would be content if Davis could be
disgraced and allowed to Sink into oblivion.
Mr. Seward replies to Mr. Adams: "Your sen-
timents are deemed just and wise." After
this explicit declaration, will it be pretended
that Ibis Administration has had any serious
purpose of punishing Jefferson Davis ? Why,
then, havo kept him in prison and not tried
him?— .V. Y. Tribune,
It would be difficult fo assign any plausible
reason for continuing the imprisonment of
Mr. Davis.

investigation of the Memphis riots, mad* , to
Col. Johnson, Inspector General of the De-
partment of Kentucky, and Tennessee, and
Major Gilbraith, t aid to G«n. Howard, and
Assistant Commissioner of tht- freedmen's
Bureau, has been made public. They say that
the remote cause of the riots was the ill feel-
ing existing between the low whites and blacks,
both of whom are about equal in intelligence,
beings as degraded as human beings can be,
and eaoh advancing claims of superiority «ver
the other. , f.jq
The direct cause was a collision between ths
police and the discharged colored soldiers,
The eivil authorities took no offiaial action
in the matter whatever. The City ftecorder
made a speech to the mob,imging them te
kill the entire negro race, and burn up the
cradle. The quartern ol' Gen. Bunkalwers
also thTsateneu with destruction. Three ne-
gro churches, eight school-houses, five of
which belonged to the United States, snd
about fifty private dwellings, ocoupitd exclu-
sively by negroes, were burned. Tha loss te

The friends ot Jeff. Davis have abandoned

Clark, an inspsootor of the Bureau, of its ope -
rations in St. Marys and Cfdvert counties,

a very unsettled condition. The most en-
conraging feature is the fact that a consider-
able number of colored people rending in
