Davis, being tried! before Judge Underwood, or by a negro jury. Mrs. Howel!, Jeff. Davis's wife's mother, died at Montreal, Canada, on the 2oth inst. Judge Underwood has ' granted Hie prayer of General Imboden, for a mandamus, to compel General Schofleld to peiit him to vote. Jeff. Davis's trial, it appears, has again been postponed. The 13th of March is now fixed upon as the time for it to take place. His bail-bond is extended to that time.

The Louisville Courier is particularly cross about it, and concludes that all such proceedings will surelyrtesolt.la the aisan vantage li!ifce negroes. WDIAHA ITEMS. ' ' Joseph T. Long, of the Indianapolis Journal, goes to Washington City as a correspondent for that paper. ' ' f . 1 .fT Andrew Coon, aged seventy-two years says Hie Decatur Eagle, took out license la that plaee to marry a damsel of twentytwo Summers. What an old coon ! The total number of children eligible to attend school in Madison is 3,524 Iu that city twenty-two teachers are employed. The average daily attendance at the schools is 1.122. - A son, with a highly filial affection, and one of the heirs of Daniel Carpenter, deceased, puts in a claim ol S.00, for shaving and caring for his lather while on bis death bed. , The house of Mrs. Lue McCarty, at Michigan City, took fire last Thursday. Mrs. Mc. escaped wi'-h her children, but returning lor .her clothes, was followed by one of her children. It was burned to death. ' The woods on the knobs, near New Albany, have been on fire fotsome tirhe, and a great deal of damage? to property has resulted thereirom. A fanner named Benjamin Tea, who l esides in Tippecanoe County, about fonr miles west of Delphi, on the Lafayette road, was shot in tue back, on last Monday evening, about six or seven o'clock, and lived but two or three hours. Henr. Lee and James Ivuckle are under arrest, on suspicion. ' Miss Amanda Way, of liandolph County, in this Statg5.is ft.ui oji a Jactortag. tour. She is the Grand, Worthy Chief of the Good Templars, and is in favor of a prohibitory liquor law. She appeals to young ladles not to recognize or tolerate in their society young men who tlrink of the ardent. A mean rascal and alow borr. thief stole the carpet from the floor of the Fir-t Presbyterian Church, at Tene Haute, a few days ago. This is mcao ness next to " steal ing the livery ol the court of Heaven to serve the Devil in." - In our commercial columns will be found a. special letter from our friends Messrs. Barton & Pool, of Cincinnati, on the. state of the Provision and Produce Market of that city. We are also favored with an cdvance copy of Milward's Circular of the Chicago Hog Market We publish the testimony of Chief Justice Chase before the Impeachment Committee last Summer, on the second page. It relates mainly to the trial of Jeff. Davis. The speech of Vallandigham at the Democratic jollifica,ioa in Cincinnati on. Saturday pight,s?will be found on the second page. It is significant. Democratic victories bring to the surface the defunct traitors of war times, and gives them great boldness in the utterance of their views. The Absurdities of Fashion. The Lynn Reporter describes a French j style of shoe now manufactured in I that city in large cumbers for , the !:New Orleans and California markets, which is admirably contrived for proi ducing deformity and discomfort. j'Upon the sole, which is as thin as;a i1 wafer, is 'fixed a heel an inch' and three-quarters thick, and tapering off ; so rapidly toward the base thai it i does not allow the space of a new cent ' piece to stand on. In consequence of ! the excessive thickness of the heel, the foot, instead of being' level and parallel with the floor, is sloped down toward it at an angle of perhaps twenty degrees, so that only the imer edge of the heel rests' upon the ground, and the flat of the foot is without support. How women can walk in such shoes without spraining their ankles or meeting with other accidents it is difficult to conceive. But they do it, and laugh at the idea of injury. Political Matters. The Omaha Republican, the chief organ of the Republican party in Nebraska, hoists the name of Grant for President and Reuben E. Fenton for Vice President in 1SC8. Secretary Stanton, when in Pittsburg, last week, spoke in warm and decided terms of General Grant, and gave such indorsement of him as only those having had his opportunities for judging can give. The Courier does not have the effrontery to repeat its falsehood about Judge Df.Bruler attending the session of the last Legislature to procure the present District apportionment, since our denial of the same.

IJta-fimftjo .Thomas. omi's&, Martin County, is the latest name on the Democratic state for Lieutenant Governor, . He has a first-class Copperhead record, and is a .representative man. We second the nomination. ..-.., Speaker Colfax and other prominent Republicans have recently written letters in. favor ,o.f the repeal of the" cotton tax. "One "of the first motions in Congress, after it convened lasj; week, was to tbat effect, and it will,5 doubtless, speedily, be removed. It -should never have been imposed. It is reported iri certain circles that Colonel Charles DsNBV.of this city, is to be fhe De'nioct a-ric1 Candidate for Congress in the. First District. We scarcely credit the rumor. The Colonel would hardly abandon a lucrative practice to risk so doubtful a race; and then the active workers of the party think he has been too closely attending to his own business of late years to merit the nomination. Coksidebable interest is already

being manifested as to" the time and place of holding the Republican Presidential Nominating Conveattor.. Grant's friends, it is reported, want it held in April or May,; while Mr. Chase's friends want it postponed until August. Tbe contest for the place of holding it is between Chicago and Cincinnati, withehacoes in favor of tjh& latter oq account: of ita litre central location. The Committee will settle it definitely on the. 11th of December. A correspondent of the, Indianapolis Jaurnal gives the following personal items relative to Indianians I in Washington: f. . .. ;,J A larpe number of Indianians are erej ;;nd the probability is they will contitiue to come in considerable numbers for some uays, yet.

A Convention in favor of so changing the discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as to secure the a'dmission of Lay Representatives in the Annual and General Conferences, met in this place this evening.
