' Case ot JefTcrson Dsivis in Congress The Report on tlie Sii1Jt-ct. The Committoc on the Judiciary, to whom was referred the resolutions of the House of repre sentatives of April 0th and April 30th, 18GG, in structing the committee to inquire into the nature of the evidence implicating Jefferson Davis and others in the assassination of President Lincoln, and als( whether any legislation is necessary in order to bring such persons to a speedy and "im partial trial, if it should appear that there was probable cause to believe that said persons, or any of them, are guilty of inciting, concerting or procuring the assassination of the late Presi dent of the United Stetes, and also whether any legislation is necessary in order to bring said per sons to a speedy and impartial trial for the crime of treason, submitted a report to the House on Fri day. The report is very long and contains a num ber of letters and documents belonging to the of ficial records of the late Confederacy, now in pos session of the War Department, relating to what was termed the secret service" of the Confed eracy. We take from the Baltimore JSun the fol lowing summary of the report : With regard to the trial of Davis, the commit tee are of the opinion that there are no obstacles to a speedy and impartial trial which can be re moved by legislation. The evidence in possession of the committee connecting Jeff. Davis with the assassination of President Lincoln justifies the committee in saying that then; is probable canst; to believe that he wa3 privy to the incisures which led to the commission of the deed, but the inves tigations which have been made by the War De partment and by the committee Lave not resulted in placing the Government in possession of all the facts in the case. The committee are of the opin ion that a further investigation will result in a full, development of the whole transaction. The ex amination of the captured rebel archives, though not complete, has gone far enough to throw light upon the general policy of the rebel authorities, which in many particulars involed a total disre gard of international law and the usages of civi lized war. The committee in this connection give a de tailed history of the course pursued by the Con federate Government towards slaves found in the ranks of the Union army. Most of this is taken from the published orders of the Ilebel War De partment. The summing up of this part of the report, the committee says :" "The declarations made, and the acts done in pursuance of the declarations, are conclusive proofs of the brutal and malignant feelings by which the leaders of the rebellion were controlled, and rendered it not only possible, but probable, that they would at once engage in projects for the destruction of the chief men of the Repub lic." A considerable portion of the report of the com mittee is devoted to the evidence in the case of C. C. Clav, Jr. Clav's letter to President John son, dated November 23d, 1805, is quoted, where in he denies having been in Canada at the time of the assassination. This the committee say is shown to be a falsehood, according to the evi dence before them. They say the falsity of the statement goes far to show that he has some rea son for attempting to conceal the fact as to the time when he left Canada, and inasmuch as the statement was made in order to relieve himself from ihe charge contained in the President's pro clamation, it lias a strong tendency to connect him of complicity in the deed. A number of letters are produced to show that Clay was in Canada at the time, and also that he was the originator of the various raids on the northern border of the United States. The first allusion in point of time made to the presence of Clay in the South amougall the papers in possession of the government yet ex amined is a letter dated at Richmond, March 8, 1805, and written by H. L. Clay to C. C. Clay, Jr. The statement of Clay that he has never known any of the persons accused and convicted of par ticipating in the assassination of President Lin coln is shown to be false by the evidence before the committee. Clay, while in Canada, acted un der the following commission : Richmond, Virginia, April 21, 18C1. Hon. C. C. Clay, Jr., &c., Arc. Sir : Confiding special trust in your zeal, discretion and patriotism, I here by direct you to proceed at once to Canada, there to carry out such instructions as you have received from me verbally, in such manner as shall seem most likely to conduce to the furtherance of the interest of the Confederate States of America, which have been entrusted to you. Very respectfully and truly yours, jEFFERson Davis. The committee say it is well established by let ters and documents derived from rebel sources that Clay, under this commission was instrumen tal in organizing and executing, with more or less success, the raids upon the cities and towns nlong the border, the plans for the introduction of pes tilence, the organization of conspiracies tc liber ate the prisoners confined in Cam) Douglas, Chi cago, to destroy our commerce on the rivers, lakes and ocean, and finally to thwart and overthrow the Government by inciting a new rebellion in the North. It is also ascertained that Jacob Thomp son, Beverly Tucker, George N. Sanders, Wr. C. Cleary, Bennett II. Young and R. J. Stewart were all employed in Canada as secret agents for the Confederate authorities. In proof of this, the committee produced a large number of letters, orders and dispatches which passed between these men and the officers of the Confederate Government at Richmond, showing that they were acting directly under its authority, and that they received orders to make the raids and other offensive demonstrations on the Northern borders of the United States. Testimony taken at the trial of the assassins, together with that taken by the committee, justi fies them in the inference that the murder of Pres ident Lincoln was procured by the use of money furnished by the Richmond Government. The remarks said to have been made by Davis, on the receipt of the intelligence of the death of Presi dent Lincoln, is in harmony with the conversa tion of his agents, Thompson, Tucker and others, as given by Richard Montgomery, a witness who was before the committee, and also a witness in the trial of the conspirators. Thompson told Montgomery, in 18G4, that he could have the tyrant Lincoln put out of the way at any time. He said he had his friends all over the Northern States, and it required but his nod to have them do anything that he wanted done. Clay is said to have talked in a similar vein about the assassination of Lincoln. The committee says there is substantial harmony between the evidence furnished by the official documents found in the hands of the Rebel authorities and the testimony of the various witnesses brought before the com mittee, as to the participation of Davis, Thomp son, Clay, Cleary and others in the scheme for the assassination of the President. With reference to the testimony in possession of the bureau of military justice, taken by Judge Holt, and on which President Johnson based his proclamation, the committee makes the following statement : . . 'When the committee entered upon this inves tigation, in Agril last, the evidence in the War Department, if accepted as true, was conclusive as to the guilt of Jefferson Davis. The Judge Advocate General had taken the affidavits of sev eral persons who professed to have been in the Berries of tbe Rebel GoYexnmeat, and vho had 'St in- been present" at an interview Tie'tween Surratfc and Davis and Benjamin. Those affidavits were taken by the 'Judge Ad vocate General in good faith, and in the full ber lief that the persons making them were stating that only which was true. The statements made by these witnesses harmonize in every important particular with facts derived from documents and other trustworthy sources. The committee, how ever, thought it wise to see and examine some of the persons whose affidavits had been taken by Judge Holt. Several of the witnesses, when brought before the committee, retracted entirely the statements which they had made in their affi davits, and declared that their testimony, as given originally, was false in every particular. They fai ed, however, to state to the committee any in ducement or consideration which seemed to the committee a reasonable explanation for the course they have pursued. The committee are, there fore, not at this time able to say, as the result . of their investigation, whether the original state ments of these witnesses are true or false. But the retraction made by some of them deprives them of all claim to credit, and their statements so far impeach or throw doubt upon the evidence given by other witnesses whose affidavits were ta ken by Judge Holt, that the committee in the in vestigation which they have made, and in this re port, have disregarded entirely the testimony of all those persons whose standing has been so im peached. On the other hand, the committee have relied very largely upon documents found in the rebel archives, and have in roduced only the tes timony of those persons whose reputation for truth and veracity has not been impeached by any of the "i.vestigations that have been made. Nor has it b.en the purpose of the committee to draw un natural or forced inferences from the trustworthy testimony which they nave examined, but rather to present a truthful statement of facts." The report concludes with an expression of opinion on the part of the committee that it is the duty of the Executive Department of the Govern ment, for a reasonable time, and by the proper means, to pursue the investigations, for the pur pose of ascertaining the truth. If Davis and his associates are innocent of the great crime with which they were charged in the President's pro clamation, it is due to tliem that a thorough in vestigation should be made, that they may be re lieved from the suspicion which now rests upon them. If, on the other hand, they are guilty, it is due to justice, to the country, and to the mem ory of him who was the victim of a foul conspira cy, that the originators should suffer the just pen alty of the law. The committee are therefore, of the opinion that the work of investigation should be further prosecuted. - LATEST NEWS ' BY TELEGRAPH. i Another Report of tlie Cas of .TefTcrson Davis. On Saturday, Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, from the minority of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, made a report on the case of Jefferson Davis. The Washington corres pondent of the J Ten ib I says : The report declares the charge of complicity made against. Mr. Davis is not only absurd, but the mere work of malice and avarice, and claims that the testimony adduced was a chain of flimsy fabri cations. And these assertions Mr. Rogers bases upon the testimony of the accomplices Canover and Montgomery. Mr. Rogers believes that the exposition of this plot so invalidates any testimony coming through the hands of Mr. Holt that it renders all belief in the charges against Davis, Clay, Tucker, et al impossible. The nature of this testimony is best shown by extracts therefrom. May 8, 1P.G3 Campbell's testimony. The tes timony of this witness, taken by Judge Holt, was read to him in the committee room, and he was asked if it was true, and ho replied : No ; it is all false. " Why did you male it ?" "I was informed by Mr. Conover that Judge Holt had offered a reward of 3100,000 for the cap ture of Jefferson Davis ; that he had no authority really to do it ; that now that Jefferson Davis was taken, that they had i ot enough against him to justify them in what they had done ; that Judge Holt wanted to get witnesses to prove that Davis was interested in the assassination of President Lincoln, so as to 'ustify him in paying the $100,000." Speaking of the woman that had testified in Holt's office to corroborate Conover, Campbell says, at this examination, "Sarah Douglass is not her real name. Her name was Dunham. There was another woman sworn. Her name given was assumed. One was Conover's wife, and the other his sister-in-law. The one that called herself Mrs. Dunham is Conover's wife. Conover's name is Charles Dunham. Conover told me that if I engaged in it it was not going to hurt anybody ; that Jeff. Davis would never be brought to trial ; and that if this evidence got to him he would leave the country. Conover directed me to as sume the name of Campbell. There was a person described by that name who was supposed to be implicated in that affair, and I was representing this party. He met Conover, in the first place, by the appointment of Snevel. Snevel said I could make money out of it. Money was my mo tive. I received 025. I received $100 from Conover and $500 from Judge Holt. I got $150 at Boston and .15100 at St. Albans. I went to Canada to hunt up a witness to swear false, who was to represent Lamar. Snevel and Conover to gether arranged with me to go to Canada. Sne vel saw the written evidence I was to swear to after Conover wrote it." May 24, 1866. Joseph Snevel sworn ; his right name is William II. Roberts. His deposition be fore Holt read to him, and signed Joseph Snevel, he stated to be false from beginning to end. " Conover wrote out the evidence, and I learned it by heart. I made it to make money. I re ceived $375 from Holt and $100 from Conover. I told Conover that I was coming on here to testify to the truth ; that I had not had any rest since I swore to what I did. He paid I would be in a worse fix than I was now. This was on last Satur day. He said things would be settled and there would be no further trouble. When the false evi dence I was to swear to was read over to me by Conover, Campbell and Conover's brother-in-law (Mr. Anderson) were present. Conover toidmehe knew what Holt would ask me, and Conover asked me the same questions. I gave this evidence before Holt. When I was wrong Conover would nod his head. Conover was present when I was sworn by Holt. WTien Conover would nod, I would then correct it as near as I could. Campbell, Conover and Holt present. Campbell and I rehearsed at the hotel in Washington. Conover said 'I war asked if such a sum would be satisfactory ? I said it would. I can't tell how much I received. Con over was an agent of the government to hunt up evidence. ' " Conover I as escaped, as already stated. Mr. Rogers was itept from seeing the evidence in pos session of the; committee, for selection and ar rangement, till 12 o'clock on Friday, the House adjourning on Saturday. Mr. Rogers closes his report by urging the speedy trial of Mr. Davis, and agrees with the majority of the committee in seeing no need of additional legislation to try Mr. Davis for any thing, unless it be the design to try him by ex post facto acts of Congress. Tennessee Politics. Mejtphis, July, .26. A large and enthusiastic convention of the conservatives of West Tennes see was held to-day to appoint delegates to the Philadelphia Convention.

To the Editors of the National Intelligencer : Gentlemen : I beg a place in your columns for the enclosed letter to me from Hon. Alexander H. Stephens. In committing it to the press I am ta king a questionable liberty with him, for the let ter is marked private, but in the present circum stances of the country, I think it so desirable that the people should know the real temper of the South, that I feel justified in publishing this let ter from one who, at the outbreak of the war, was the representative-man of the Union Party of the South, and is the recognized exponent of the Southern sentiment at this moment. President Lincoln had great confidence in Mr. Sthephens. He told me repeatedly that he had offered him a seat in the Cabinet, and he retained great regard for him to the last. Yours respectfully, M. BLAIR. Ckawfordsville, Ga., July 23, 1866. Hon. Montgomery Blair, Washington, D. C: Dear Sir : Your letter of the 17th inst. is before me, I thank you heartily for it. No man in the United States did or could more cordially a)prove and indorse the objects of the proposed Union Convention at Philadelphia, as I understood them, than I did, and yet, from considerations of expe diency, I doubted the propriety of me taking ac tive part in it. I was also in doubt, to some ex tent, whether, with other views on the part of those who made the call, the words were not so phrased in the call as to exclude all who occupied a similar position to my own, and from other con siderations as those which had occurred to me. Your letter relieves me from the last class of doubs; but those of the other class still exist, notwith standing your strong views to the contrary. Indi vidually, my whole soul is enlisted iu the cause of a'speedy, full, and perfect restoration of the Gov ernment under the Constitution, and its perma nency under that Constitution, as it now stands. There is nothing within my power that I am not willing cheerfully to do to effect and accom plish that end. Indeed, you will excuse me in saying it, but it is the truth, I would be willing to offer up my life itself, if by so doing this great result could be obtained, and peace, union, har mony, prosperity, happiness and constitutional liberty be thereby secured to the millions now living, and the untold millions hereafter to live on this continent. There are many personal em barrassments or difficulties in the way of my go ing to the Convention. These I alluded to be fore, but I am resolved to be there if I can. In no event shall it be ever truthfully said of me that I failed to do everything in my power to save the country and its institutions. I did in 1860 exert my efforts to their utmost extent to avoid the late most lamentable war, and to save the Union on constitutional principles without a conflict of arms. This I did, too, while many of those now so clamorous for what they call the Union cause, were giving encouragement at least to the extreme men at the South, by clearly and decidedly intimating, if not fully expressing, a perfect willingness on their part that the Union might slide if the peo ple of the South so willed it. I was even taunted with endeavoring to hold our people on to a Un ion that was no longer cared for by leading men of the dominant party at the North. I withstood these taunts, even when I knew, or was informed truly, as I believed, that there was an organized body of men in Savannah to seize the Custom House and Fort Pulaski in case the Senate did not secede. All this I stated to you, and to which you allude in your letter before me ; nor should I have any hesitancy in stating it to the public if any public good could thereby be effected. Tlie public good is my only object. How best to sub serve that, consistently with truth, honor and up rightness, is the only question with me. Personal interests have no influence with me whatever, at least I think so, and maybe excused for saying so. Had I been governed by personal feelings I should have had nothing to do with the late troub le, further than entering my earnest protest against them. And had I been governed by personal feeling I should not now be in the situation I am. If the Union shall be restored under the Constitution, as I earnestly desire to see it done, and I am willing to do all I can toward that end. it is my fixed purpose to retire forever from all connection with public affairs, so that, while it would seem that my present efforts are tending to a result in which I have more or less personal interest that is, admission as a Senator in Con gress yet I assure you I never expect or intend to hold that position long, even if the seat should be awarded to me. Yours truly, ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. TfiE FAiiL EiiECTiONS. The first election this fall takes place in Kentucky, but not for members of Congress.

ItfTERESTIVQ WAR NEWS. The Austrian Losses. 80,000 TO 100,000 MEN KILLED, WOTNDED AND . .'--. MISSING. A correspondent of the London News writes : " According to the gloomy reports of the Vierjua papers, the losses of the Austrian army at the battle of Korniggratz considerably exceed all that was ever imagined by the victors. The Austrian journalists frankly confess their army to be in a state of perfect dissolution an announcement which has taken us wholly by surprise, and is pro bably as wide of the truth as were their former boastings. The Volksfreund (supposed to be the organ of Cardinal Rauscher) estimates the losses sustained in a ten days' campaign at 100,000 men; while the NeuePresse, a paper which about a fort night ago looked upon the downhill of Prussia as a certainty, now consoles itself with the hope that of an army formerly given at 300,000 to 400,000 men, 150,000 effectives are left after all, and will probably assemble at Olmutz. Buoyed up, no doubt, by this unexpected intelligence, the Prus sians are pursuing their advantage with the ut most ardor. From the energy with which they have resumed the chase and after a day's respite, it seems as though they intended scattering the rear of the Austrian army before it can take re fuge in the Moravian fortress. A PANICS IN VIENNA. The Vienna correspondent of the Times, writ ing under date of July 9, says : The inhabitants of this city are almost beside themselves with fear, as it is now currently re ported that the headquarters of the northern army are about to be removed from Brun to the in trenched camp at Florisdorf, near Vienna, but I have reason to believe that the shattered remains of the great Austrian army are being collected at Olmutz, and that its commander will for a time pitch his tent there. It is very evident that the Imperial authorities have lost their presence of mind, and are at a loss how to act towards Prus sia and Italy. Count Belcredi, the chief of the police department, and Count Larisch, the minis ter of finances, are the only members of the cabi net who have energy left, and they display it in a way which must needs increase the discourage ment and discontent of the nation. The former effectually silences the local press by expressing a hope that it will not be necessary to place it under martial law, and the latter coolly informs the bank that the state requires from it a loan of 200,000,000 florins, 60,000,000 florins of which must be ad vanced at once, as the 150,000,000 floiins which were borrowed a few weeks ago aie already spent. As dismemberment and bankruptcy are now star ing Austria in the face, it is no matter of wonder that her people are terribly cast down. "The Prussians must have suffered very heavy losses at Koniggratz, as they were for many hours exposed to the raking fire of the Austrian ar tillery." THE DEMANDS OP PRUSSIA. The official Staetsanzeiger of Berlin, of July 11th, has the following : " We are authorized to make the following de claration. Treaties existing between Prussia and Itally render impossible an armistice or the con clusion of peace with Austria without the mutual consent of Italy and Prussia. Italy is therefore unable to accede to Austria's wish for a one-sided peace by accepting Venetia, and thus putting an end to the war. Europe knows that it was no sor did love of conquest that impelled Prussia to go to war. Prussia fights for the highest national aims. She demands for herself guarantees of ter ritorial security, and for Germany the establish ment of its unity, embracing at least the majority of the States. Herein Prussia has the support of most of the patriotic princes of Germany. The people of Prussia are sacrificing their blood and treasure, and her sons are inspired by the holiness of the conflict, as were their fathers in 1813. Everywhere the Prussians give proof that they are fighting not against the people, but against the governments which vainly attempted to incite the lormer against Prussia. In all parts the feelings of hatred give way to more noble sentiments to wards us. The army, sustained by the conscious ness of its lofty task, will conquer or die."
