It is supposed that Jeff Davis will be brought to Washington and tried for murder. The Negro Problem in Kentucky is one of great practical moment. Negroes are leaving their homes by the thousands and are crowding into the towns, demoralizing and being demoralized.... the plantations are without labor, and crops cannot be grown. Uncertainty and confusion take the place of order, and poverty and disease must follow upon idleness and dissipation. Negro Suffrage--the Abolitionists, not content with negro freedom, are clamorous for negro suffrage. Continued account of Assassination Trial...Mr. Lloyd, who kept a hotel at Surrattville, testified that several weeks before the assassination Booth and his accomplices came to his house, and brought two carbines and a rope...

By telegraph from Washington: The Assassination Trial proceeds slowly. Jeff Davis will not be tried with the assassins now on trial for the murder of Mr. Lincoln. It is expected that nearly all the rebel governors will be captured and tried. The Nashville Press learns that Gen. Forrest has been killed by Capt. Walker of the rebel army to revenge the killing of his son by Forrest. Editorial detects a "streak of bad faith" in the present treatment by the Johnson administration of the Southern people. President Lincoln's assurances of fair treatment of Southerners did much to hasten the end of the war. A delegation of negroes called upon Andy Johnson (President) and got, we reckon, more than they bargained for."Some think they had nothing to do but fall back on the Government for support, in order that they may be taken care of in idleness and debauchery...

Sheridan's and Canby's departments say 10,000 of Kirby Smith's forces were paroled and 90 pieces of artillery and 20,000 stand of arms surrendered. Kirby Smith (Confederate General, 1824-1893) has taken refuge in Mexico. Trade in cotton was recognized by Maximillian, and about $2 million worth was carried into Mexico through the connivance of Mexican authorities. Editorial notes that the labor system of the south is disorganized and the blacks well started on the road to utter extinction. "Exterminating the Negro" --Freedom is doing its work well in our midst... it goes about as if it were, a thing unknown and unseen, enticing the poor, ignorant negro away from his humble but happy home...Death is the doom of the negro, as of the Indian.
