WASHINGTON, d. C. Oct 18th, 1853.
Col. w. d. CHAPMAN
Dear Sir

Yours of the 9th instant has Just
been received and comply with your request for
prompt reply, hoping it may reach you by the date
fixed.
1851, viz that for the proceeding special session of
the Senate H. S. Foote had received mileage but that
Jefferson Davis had not.
End. 1t is not true stated by Gov Foote that
"when (he) first received constructive mileage the
whole Senate had done the same thing. including
(his) my former colleague Col. DaUiS." | was one Of
abe last Senators who received that mileage, some
time after Senator Foote had drawn his and when
had not only been convinced that the allowance was
legal, but found myself in the position in which furh
decline TO receive it would have been to set up
special standard in opposition to that of those with
whom was associated.
The morality of the act of taking the mileage of
the special session depends upon the belief of the in
dvidual to its legality unless it be contended that
a public officer is bound to inquire beyond the allow
ance iXedby law into the proprety of the law which
regulates his compensation.
The amount of mileage allowed in the Senate de-
ponds upon the statement of the Senator as to the
distance of his residence from the Capitol. That
statement is not submitted to the examination Of Il
committee as in the House of Representatives and
there would to be the special obligation imposed
by such confidence to restrain honorable man from
making an over charge. | made calculation by Ia
king the post distances along the river route,
that usually travelled.
Though not included in your enquiry | should not
be willing TO omit the tact that after had lett the
Senate upon showing that the mileage for the special
session OF 1891 still stood subject my draft, direct
ed the amount to be sent to and received think
in the summer of 1852. | said on former occasion
Us much evil of Gov. Foote my self respect would
allow, though much less than long and close observa-
ton of his Gepravty would have justified Since then
have thought due to myself to take notice Of him,
and whilst have felt at liberty to withhold this
answer from you, have much reluctance that the pub
lie should see in the attitude Of noticing any thing
which Cinauates from II. ). FoOte.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
JEFF. DAVIS.

Great triumph Of the Democracy Of Georgia.

The Georgia paper brings the very gratifying in
telhgence, that FL. v JOHNSON, Democrat, has
been elected Governor of the State, over CHARLES
j. JENKINS, one of the most popular men of the
State, and of the nondescript and nameless party
to which he belongs, by majority of FIVE to EIGHT
hundred. Six out Of the eight members of Con-
gress are democrats, and there is a democratic
majority OF some thirty elected to the Legislature
Is in the Senate, and II in the House The
Congressman are, James L. Seward, A. H. Col
quit, David j. Bailey, w. B. W. Dent, E. w.
Chastain, and-Hiilyer, democrats, and Ste
Phens and Reese, wings.
This is certainly noble triumph for the de-
mocracy Of our sister State. The contest was as
bitter as any that has ever occurred in that State
The wings dropped their old name, and called
themselves Conservative men," "Unon men, .
and every other name they thought likely to catch
vote. With them the Union was in emminent
danger again, and they made the very welkin ring
with the once slogan cry of fire eaters and
secesslonists They invoked the democrats to de-
sert their party--to come out against the admin
stration, and rebuke it for what they were pleas
ed to call its appointment of Ffre caters and
''tree-sollers" to office. Hamilcar Toombs and
Randolph of Georgia Stephens traversed the State,
with the hypocritica cry of danger to the South on
their lips-accusing Pierce of being free -soiler,
because, they alleged, he appointed free-soers to
office; and OF being fireeater, because he had
appointed Southern Rights Democrats to office
But all wouldnot do. The day of humbug had
passed, and the ne organized democracy of Geor-
gla went on to achieve victory not only highly
honorable to themselves, but which is noble and
deserved vndication Of the administration Of Gen
gia The democracy of the whole country are un-
der deep obligations to you.-Nontg0mery Adver-
