Postponement of Mr. Davis9 Trial. - Richmond, Nov." 26. -Mr. Everts, for the Government, said the intention of the Gov ernment was to try the Davis case some day this' Term. One consideration in ! fixing the iday, was the time when Chase would attend here, and the Government proposed to name a day after the adjournment of the Supreme Court for this trial, when Chase could sit with Underwood. 1 Everts' suggested (the fourth (Wednesday in March. O'Conner said the personal convenience of Mr. Davis would have been promoted, if that had taken place in May last, and it would be very convenient now, but his counsel would agree to j the proposition of Mr. Everts. He thought the presence of Chase would be beneficial, not alone to the accused, but to all interests; Judge Underwood said the arrangement proposed by the Government was agreed to by the Court,' and particularly, because the Court earnestly desired that Judge Chase should sit" upon the casej It was due; to the defendant,' that two. Judges should sit in the case, in order that an appeal might be taken on disputed questions, and the case carried up by the defendant to a higher Court. L The Judge agreed to fix the 20th of 3Iarch for'the trial, and on the application of Mr. O'Conner, to extend ! Mr. : Davis1 bail until that time, and further agreed, that if Judge PpPflllEiT Chase could not preside then, to extend the leave of absence' till the term following.

Wood worth, while yet he was a journeyman printer working in an ofiice at. the corner of Chambers arid Chatham streets, New York. Near by, in Frankford street, was a drinking house, kept by one named Mai lory, where Wood worth and several particular i friends used to resort. One afternoon the liquor wis super-excellent. Wood worth seemed inspired by it ; tor, after taking a draught he set bis glass upon the table, and smacking his lips, declared that Mallory's eau de vie was. supe rior to anything he had ever tasted. ! "No," Mid Mallory" 'you are mistaken ; there wos one which, in both our estimations far surpassed this as a drink." j "What was that ?" asked vvood worth du biously. .

The Ala bama State Convention is giving the lie to the sneers and aspersions which are hurled against it by the enemies of Republican re construction. It is hardly necessary to say that the reports published in the Democrat ic and unscrupulous sheets of New York are. caricatures, and afford no basis from which a correct judgment can be derived. The real reports of the proceedings show them to be marked with dignity and broad views, and the kindest feelings towards all. No restrictions or disabilities are sought to be imposed, with any view, further than to se cure the fabric of freedom and equality against the overthrow by ; the casual pre dominance, in future elections, of the rebel, negro-hating elements. Doubtless the , de bates afforded frequent examples of awkward use of language, ungrammaticai sentences and mis-pronunciation, but the ideas of the speakers are right, and show enlightened judgment, laudable motives, arid charitable hearts which-would do credit - to any - con vention, n Saturday morning the Convention ofloui- siana meet in the Mechanic's -Institute Hall, at New Orleanes' to form -a new constitution under the - reconstruction . laws.
