In the absence Of positive Information, We
take it for granted that the reports which
obtained currency in the city yesterday,
that Mr. Jefferson Davis is dead, are with
out foundation in fact We are ready to
believe that the rumors of his illness are
ccrrrct; but we are deyout enough to
hope that Providence will not take him
away until he can be punished lin the
hesl" for the misdeeds of which he is
guilty. And again, should he be now de-
clared def1nct, the rebels, after
their reduction to obedience to
the laws, would never tire Of saying
':H-d Davis lived, this never would have
happened" OF, "Toa know that Davis
<'1ied just at the critical time, and that
"act qua17els among ourselves brought
"a feeble man in as his successor, else
syou never would have overcome Us!'
We want to hear no such excuses during
the double decade that the acrimonious
meuory Of this rebellion will lose. The pol
iey,ss the South must be spanked into sub
miss.on,i is to take her ather best, Davis and
eli, and deal with her as unit-to make
E clean job Of the business as we 60 along,
that there may be NO subterfuges
ncr excuses behind which the chivalry may
tk,;k. There must be 10 saving Of pride,
10 vovirg Of revenge The victory must
lie complete; and to make it SO, Davis
must live, and, # he lives 8 year, swing in
txria;ion Of his Ligh crimes. We pray
1lcn that he may be restored, if he has
teen sick, or that he may sober up if he
has .een drunk. # he dies now, the TR1
EyxE will hang Grape at its door!
