upright lawyer, who could rise above political prejudice in the assertion of a great principle, and an ignorant partisan who permitted his personal bitterness to guide his judicial finding. The result of this disagreement of the judges was that the motion to quash failed, and thereupon the case was continued until the May term, 1869. The fact of the disagreement was certified to the Supreme Court, that it might be there decided. This was the end of this celebrated cause. Later in December, 1868, President Johnson published his general amnesty proclamation, which by common consent was held to cover Mr. Davis' case, and upon the 15th of February, 1869, the following order was entered in the Circuit Court of Richmond: Monday, February 15, 1869.
