his private business, and attending X. Moth

concern than the public good Banner.
The Banner" knows, or ought to know,
that Col. Davis was called home by sickness
in his family, and that private business had
nothing TO do with his leaving Jefferson be-
fore the adjournment Of the Legislature
and we venture the assertion he has not at
tended Know Nothing meeting since his
return. He devoted more time to the ''gub-
lie good" than most members, as is shown
by his position in the House. Mr.. Graves
did nothing more than his duty, and nothing
more than Col. d. would have done, had he
been present. His vote would not have
