tVJeG Davis may be dead and he may
be alive. The report, ave so conflicting that
we can as yet IN no way ascertain thoir truth.
But dead or alive, here is brief notice of him
which we take from the New York World
JEFFERSON DAVIS was born in Kentucky
in 1905. and IN infancy was removed with his
family to Mississippi lie received a Militia
~ education az West Point, where he was
graduated in 1923. and was appointed brevct
second Lieutenant. During the seven years
that he remained in the army, he served
with credit in several Indian wars, but re-
signed his commission in 1885 and turned
cotton planter. Ills frat appearance in poll
tics was in the Polk presidential campaign.
The next year he was elected to Congress,
but he resigned in 1916 to command regi-
ment in the Mexican war. where he served
with distinction. After his return he was
elected to the Senate, and, in the stormy
debates which preceded the compromise Of
1850. he distinguished himself as the most
uncompromisiug champion Of extreme south
ern claims. lie was u lotcitc d6bater Of a
highly intellectual cast Of mind, with subtle
pride which perverted his whole moral nature.
lie was President Picrce's Secretary Of War,
and despite the superior abilities Of Marcy,
was the leading spirit OF that Cabinet. His
interruptions and domineering nature gave
him complete a'ccudcncy over n mediocre man
like Pierce and "A man Of supple principles
like Cushing; aud Marcy. though he did not
approve, was powerless to resist the bold pro-
slavery Vaccinations in that really able cabinet.
IL was then that jeff Davis sowed the
dragons teeth from which hosts Of armed
men have sprung up The Kansas imbroglio,
which was fomcn,cd by that cabinet, was the
entering wedge which has cleft the Union
Douglass repeal Of the Missouri Compromise
would have worked little practical mischief,
had it not been Tor JEFF Duviss successful
plot in the cabinet to abet the attempts to
thrust slavery in Kansas in spite Of tho will
Of its inhabitants
Davis was an able man, but he did not rise
above the intellectual level OF a score Of his
contemporaries tie was guadcd on by a
consuming ambition which gave to his talents
their principal impetus. and was the chief
source Of his errors. IN private life he had
no vices, and was as estimable as an intensely
sell-conscious man Is capable of being But
the criminal ambition 10 which he was willing
10 sacrifice both the peace and prosperity oil
his country aud his own personal honor, will
hand his name down to PROSPERITY that OF

new sensation; and the way it sharpens
