john G.. Davis's speech at Franklin is q
pretty direct confession of his reasonable
symP.ihes and purposes. No man can read
il and doubt that he is as foul a traitor at
heart rs JEFF. Davis. But his confession was
not necessary. He is known to be a member
of the X. G. O.. an order whose very existence
Is based on reasonable designs against the
Government. And it is known that he Is in
correspondence with Jesse ID. Bright, whose
treason is proved under his own hand. With
these evidence Mr.. J. G. Davis might have
spared his franklin outburst of treason, and
still leit himself far enough within the grasp
of the Government whenever it may choose
to put it, hand upon him. He may plead
successfully that he hasn't sense enough to
be responsible for his acts. but that Is all the
the excuse he can fnd.--Iad. Jour

There are presses, for the most part in the

found in cities more remote from the scene
