ttient until Wodnesday, May 23d, and
mado tho Colorado question the spe
cial order for Tuesday, May 29th.
Tbo Colorado Senators elect and otber
friends of tho bill, are working strong
ly to pass it over the veto.
New York, May 24tb. The U. S.
commissioner .has ordered the dis
charge of Otto Burstenbindcr, deciding
tba he could not bo bold for trial here,
lie not having been personally engag
ed in tho shipping of nitroglycerine
to San Francisco, and being absent
from tho city at the time, and also
that he cannot be held responsible, for

Columbus, May 24. Tbe Democrat
io State Convention nominated Chas.
Wikey, of Cincinnatti, for Judge of
the Supremo Court, and II. S. Levern,
of Shelby county, for Secretary of
State, adopted resolutions declaring
that the Domocracy will adhere to its
organization and to its ancient faith
as enumerated in tbe wcll'settled prin
ciples of Thomas Jefferson ; but tho
one great question of the day. being
tho immediate and unconditional res
toration of all the Stales to the exor.
iso of their rights within tbe Federal
Union under the Conutilution, wo will
cordially and actively support Andrew
Johnson as President of the United
States in all necessary and proper
means to carry out his policy as di'
rooted to that end, and for the purposo
above set forth we will cordially ct)
operato in publio meetings, conven
tions and at tbe polls with all men
without reference to past party posU
tions, who honestly and by their acts
as woll as by their professions support
the President's policy as now declar
ed. Goorgo II. Pondloton addressed
the Convention, congratulating the
domocracy on having once moro re
gained its legitimate position in the
hearts of the people lie limited his
endorsement of the President, but re
garded him as tho present salvation of
tho country. Vnllandighain spoke in
tho evening, saying the support given
by the Democracy to Andrew John
son was tho most honest ever given by
any party to a Presidont. It was un
selfish support with no demand for of
fice. The Democracy owed nothing
to the liepubucan party and did not in
tend the Kopublican party should owe
it anything. Tho battle would be
fought out on this lino. lie was Cop
perhead and gloried in it, and would
tell the Republicans that in five years
they would bo making affidavits to
provo that they were -real Copper
heads and wb tho pretenders; but
Copperheads did not intend to be
swallowed up by the Prceidont, nor
the President by the Copperheads
The Presidont was not going over to
the Copperheads, for they would noith
or ask nor lake office at his hands
though they intended to hold all the
offices after March Ibb'J.
New York, May 25. The Herald's
Washington special dispatch says:
The trial of Jeff. Davis under the Nor-
folk indictment will probably bo posti
roned till August or September
Much animosity prevails in Virginia
against the memberB of tho grand ju
ry who returned the indictment, and
until tho popular feeling somewhat
subsides the Attorney General thinks
it best to dolay tho trial.
Judge Thomas, of the Circuit Court
of Virginia at Alexandria, rctusea to
admit negro testimony in" case where
a white man is concerned on trial be
fore him, declaring Congross cannot
decide that persons or classes of peri
sons may testily in Virginia courts
Fortress Monroe, May 25. Instruc
tions from Washington were received
this morning by Gen. Miles to give
Jeff. Davis, on his parole tho freedom
ot the tort, retiring to his room at Car
roll Hall at eight. His counsel Sbea
and O'Connor, have been allowed ao
cess to the fort and can have private
interviews with him at any timo.
Mrs. Jeff. Davjs arrived vesterdav
for the purpose of asking the Presi
dent to remove Davis from his pres
ent quarters, as suggested by tho
Surgeon's report. Unless hi triai is
to take place in Jono.it is believed
a change ot the locality of his confine
ment will be muuo.
Wilson of Massachusetts, called ur
his joint resolution allowing incrilori
ots soldiers over twenty one years of
age to bo appointed cadets at Wont
Point. Nt'sikith moved an amend
ment that hereafter the Superintend
ent of the Military Academy may bo
selected fiom any corps of the army :
lOBt, la to l'J iho joint resolution
was then passed. The Senate ut half
past one adjourned till Modday, 28th,
and tho Republican Senators immedi
ately wont into caucus upon tho con
stitutional amendment, to determine
the basis for united action in opon
session. Thirty four Senatorial votes
were, it is understood, cast in caucus
this morning lor whatever may be
adopted by the majority.
Terrible Affray Between Whites
andNkqko Soldiers. A 'fatal affray
recently occurred near San Antonio,
iexas. Captain JNolen, of tbe Thir
teenth Regiment of uegro cavalry,
was sent with sixteen men, to arrest a
bad character by the name of Porlor,
who had killed, an old gentleman last
August, and for whoso arrest an order
had been issued. A son of tho mur
dered man informed Captain Nolen
that Porter and bis comrade would bo
at a neighboring house to attend a
weaaing. The uaptain went to the
house with a squad, entered it, placed
his band on Porter's shoulder, and or
dered him to surrender. A man then
stepped up and shot tbe Captain
through the wrist. A bergeant then
shot tho assailant dead. Porter drew
a pistol and shot thb Captain through
tbe breast, nour the heart, the ball
coming out near tho shoulder. Tbo
Captain then shot Porter doad, and
mortally wounded two others. By
this timo the soldiers had entered the
house, where they drew up in line and
were ready to nre into tbe crowd.
when Nolen stopped them, exhorting
them not to kill the women. Twen
ty of the wedding company were ar
rested and are under heavy guird.
The recovery of Captain Nolen-is
doubtful.. .
