co,on., Davl. VS.. General Cas-, and HIMSELF


A pamphlet presenting sketch of the life e.
JEFFERSON DAVIS has been put into circulation
in Mississippi since the advent of that gentle
man as candidate for the gubernatorial chair.
This publication, which appears to have been
prepared under the direct authority of the
colonel, and has received the sanction of his
electioneerng friends, contains the subjoined
statement:
SIN the Presidential election of ls4s Colonel Da-
Wis placed in delicate and in some respects,
rather painful position. His father in law, Cen
eral Tay or, had become the candidate OF the Wing
party, while he. ever Democrat, faithfuand true to
his principles, felt constrained to support General
Cass, the candidate of the party to which he be-
longed. The principal difficulty tciM Colonel Davis,
hoiOsus, gre,D out Of his distrus IN the sincerity of
General CASES arotDal Of principle. The Nicholson
letter, he felt satisfied, intended 10 deceive the
South and that General Cdss tpas ,oe oppriz ed that
southern Democrats placing construction upon
iohich, ,chen 10 shot favor interests he tcould
disGuoiD. The doctrine of 'squatter sovereignty
which the Wing party charged, was contained in
that letter, and at war with all rights in the
Territories he kneto 10 be true, from confidential
conversation which he wac not permitted to dis
close. He acted, however, upon the principle of
choice of evils, and resolved stand by his party
principles, in opposition to the claims of his ia
Their in-law to the highest office in the gift of the
people"
We have here plain confession that Co
lionel DAVIS doubted "the sincerity Of General
CAss's avowal of principle" and felt satisfied
that the famous NICHOLSON letter "was in
tended TO deceive the South" He knew that
the doctrine of "squatter sovereignty" charged
as being contained in that letter. was true. al
though "not permitted to disclose" the fact;
and yet he sustained General CAss's preten-
sions 10 the Presidency, and undertook an ac-
tive canvass in his behalf.
The whole statement is the reverse of flat
tering to either of the parties concerned. The
imputation of insincerity on the part of General
CAss comes with crushing effect from one of
his staunchest champions, who, however, up
sets his own character by the admission that,
for political purposes, he connived at game of
deception begun and carried on at the expense
Of the South.

This is pleasing book, abundantly teeming
with the thrilling casualties of ''har-breadth
'scapes" which beset the paths Of those who
plough the enchafed bosom of the deep and is
strikingly characterized by the winning graces
Of nodesty of tone and refined simplicity of
narration.
Lieutenant LYNCH makes several dpressions
OF attractive interest from the main thread of
the narrative; these we would fam evidence.
did not our restricted limits preclude their in
sertion.
Our author runs through the history Of his
eventful career, even from his boyish DAYS; vet.
despite its rigorous adherence to truth there is
much in this volume that, to the cursory glance
of sceptic, would seem profusely fringed with
romance.
In emitting the numerous characteristic Incl
dents of sea voyage, Lieutenant LYNCH has
pursued plan admirably polite, and relieved
his book of much repellent reading. 1t contains
almost pTeponderance of episodical matter.
which, though remotely withdrawn from d-
rect bearing upon the personal history of the
author, is one of the constituent charms of the
work
Lieutenant LYNCH was engaged in an exter-
minating expedition, despatched to effect the
ejectment of those numerous hordes of pirates
who infested several of the West India islands.
His recital Of the adventures and hardships
which befell the participants of this expedition
IS thrilling and Of stirring interest With
force Of comparative inslgnifcance, this gallant
band bearded the tiger in his lair, and effected
total dlslodgment of several swarming gangs
from their hitherto undiscovered places of re-
treat.
We cannot debar ourselves the pleasure of
remarklng an amusing instance Of abruptness
and incoherence occurring on page l0l, where
the humorous details Ct rencontre of maudln
officers is Immediately followed by the notice
of an unwonted deviation from the usual nlodus
operandi Of naval funerea rites in the final
consignment of a defunct marine officers re-
mains.
The Midshipman" is the precursor OF a Sc
ries Of works, as is vaguely limited, which will,
in time, emanate from Lieutenant LYNcH's
pen; and we hope that they may follow in
rapid succession.

The Cotton Trade-ooncIuded.

That our readers may understand accurately
the object Of the Union in now seeking to
avail itself of this fraudulent misstatement on
the part of some person connected with the
Treasury during the administration of Mr..
WALKER, we will now briefly state the facts.
From 1912 to 1915 the crops were immense,
exceeding by more than two millions of bales
those of the previous period of four years, and
these large crops occurred at period when the
domestic consumption was but beginning to re-
vlve from the prostration produced by the ac-
ton of the compromise tariff. At the moment of
the occurrence of the first of these large crops
the home consumption had fallen off no less than
thirty thousand bales, and so entire was the pros
tration Of the country that there existed little
power to purchase cOttons from abroad Half of
the mill of the country had been ruined,
and it required time to bring into operation the
old mills, while still more was needed to
bring about state of things that should prompt
to the erection of new ones. Under these cir
cumstances, almost the whole of this vast in
crease of product had to seek market in Eu-
rope, and II was to the incapabllity of the
foreign consumption to expand itself in accord
ance with the expansion of our power of pro-
duction, that was due the enormous fall of prices
that then took pace-a fall that never would
have taken place but for the almost total de-
struction of the home demand produced by the
compromise tariff. An honest report from the
Treasury would have proved that the low prices
were necessary result of increased dependence
on foreign markets, consequent upon the dimi-
mutton of home consumption, and that the
remedy for low prices was to be found in a
diminution of that dependence. That how
ever, would have been fatal to the policy
of the party that had just ridden into
power on the strength Of the cry of Polk,
Dallas, and the Tariff of 1872" and therefore
it became necessary to connect low prices with
ga diminution of the product" We see, accord
ingly, in Mr.. WALKERS first report, the bales
were stoeated do,Cn about fifty pounds, and those
of the period above hundred pounds; and, had
the passage of his tariff bill been postponed an
other year, it is not unlikely that we should
have found them reduced to less than three
hundred pounds 1t might be interesting to
examine the files of the Treasury with view
to ascertain where this sweating work was done.
We now invite the attention of our readers to
the following paragraphs in the Unions article :
IL is worthy Of remark, in connexion with this
subject, hoto much larger quantity of cotton is
proved in price in the last four years, compared
,oih the precious four years. Thus, estimating the
weight for 1851 at 500 600 900 pounds, the compar
ison of the past four years with the four previous
years, under the tariff of 1912. is follows:

M. GRARDrN.-The Paris correspondent of the
New York Journal Of Commerce (Mr. Walsh)
makes the following remarks in reference to the
report of Girardin being called to the ministry of
Louis Napoleon:
"London leaders, in the Times and the
Morning Chronicle are often founded mere
Paris dits-the rumor of the hour story of the
dawn hastily transmitted by paid correspondents
anxious for the credit of precedence in knowledge
Of events A few days ago the Chronicle scolded
and specuated on this text:
" 1T is observable that amid all that has been
said or written in Paris sincc the crisis began no
fact seems to be better established to have more
profoundly affected the expectant public of France,
than the summons addressed by the President to
M Emile dc Girardin'
CHOW, no evidence exists, no beliefprcvails, that
M dc Girardin received summons, even an
audience, for any purpose. lie necessarily urges
in his journal repeal and revision, and would rem
der Louis Napoleon re-eligible in order TO put the
whole matter of the chicftainshp int the hands of
the universal people But in the struggle Of par
ties be has always ioundcred from side TO side; al
crisis he faces about in order to recruit import
ance and notoriety. Louis Napol. on is too shrewd
and wary to call Girardin into his serious councils
and, surely, never thought of him for the compost
ton of a cabinet"

The Tsmmuny Hall Version OF Democratic
Doctrine.


The passage at arms" which we predicted
would take place between Colonel FoRNEY and
the New York reporters, has come at last; and
at present the odds are against the colonel
1t can hardly have escaped the recollection
of our readers that, in an article suggested by
late gathering Of the "unterrifed Democra-
cy" in Tammany Hall, we commented on
the falsity of declaration imputed by the
New York Herald reporters to Colonel For
FEY to the effect that the recent elections in
Georgia and other Southern States were in re-
atty Democratic triumphs; and on the fragrant
immortality of the same speakers exposition of
"invincible doctrine''-to wit, that he would
rather vote for the worst Democrat that ever
lived than for the best Wing that ever lived
In the Pennsytranidn the colonel impugned
the accuracy Of the report, and denied that he
had given atterance to either Of the statements
in question.
The Herald has now come to the rescue of
it's reporters, and, we think, fairly uses up the
doughty colonel. II shows that the report was
substantially the same as the report of the Ma
tionaL Democrat. and that the particular pas
sages referred to were exactly similar in both
papers; it states that Colonel FoRNEY, although
IN New York on the day Of the publication of
the report, took no exception to its accuracy; it
reprints the inscription one Of the transpa-
rencies 10 prove that the story about Democratic
triumPhs was believed by the promoters of the
meeting; 1t cites expressions from the Demo
Gratis report as evidence that the dishonest pre-
ference for bad Democrats over good Wings
was received with applause by the audience:
and, lastly. it publishes an affidavit, by the re-
porter of the speech, affirming the precise ac
curacy Of the report, and appealing to the cor
roboraiive testimony of all the reporters IRE
cent on the occasion.
80 the matter now stands. OF itself it pos
sesses no importance except to the parties i'm
nediately concerned; but it is worthy of pass
ing notice, because it affords tolerably conclu-
sive proof that the leaders of the "unterrifed"
do sometimes seek ephemeral applause by dec
larations Of which in cooler moments they are
utterly ashamed. Another thing to be remem-
