pREsIDENT DAVIS AND GENERAL

II - Il
The late procaamation OF President Davis,
published ON the outslde OF this paper, threat
sning retaliation egainst the commissioned
officers serving under Gen. Butler, IL preceded
by a tedious recital Of certain assumed facts,
the verify Of which, a. whole, may be judged
Of from the falsifcation Of the case Of. Mum
ford. Presldent Davis makcs II special point,
that Mumford was executed for no act done af-
Ter Tie capture Of Ness OrlenSs, which In exactly
contrary to the real fact. II was after our
army had captured and were In possession of
the city, that Mumford attempted to stir up
revolt, for which he was, after fair trial and
conviction, sentenced to be hanged. Instead
Of suffering for anything he might lawfully
have done as soldier In resisting our attack
yidual effort to get mp disturbance, after the
proper civil and military authorities OF the
enemy had surrendered and evacuated the city.
False In one thing, false In all, Is an old and
approved maxim, and Is well Illustrated In this
proclamation OF President Davis. II he did
not scruple to misrepresent the Mumford case,
with which the whole country Is familiar, 1t
aeNe NV ~ N'effoe~N.'s 's''s - - 'N's
about other things, which he can falsify with
less certainty Of being known to do so.
President Davis complains OF arbitrary as
sessments upon the citizens OF New Orleans by
General Butler. These assessments have been
arbitrary, only In the sense that they are the
acts Of military power which Is essentially
despotic In Its own nature. They have not
been arbitrary, either In the object for which
they were levied, or In the manner In which
they were apportioned.
General Butler has levied no contributions
for the support OF his army, and has exacted
no tribute to be sent homo to his Government
Finding the administration OF New Orleans
thrown upon his hands, he has made neces
sary provision for the starving poor, In the In
terest, not only OF general humanity, but OF th'
quiet OF the city, by contributions imposed
upon the rich. He has, In fact, merely com
PEELED the rich to do what they ought to hay'
done without compulsion.
In his method OF apportioning assessments
General Butler has pursued course which i
the reverse Of arbitrary. Instead OF actlni
according to mere will, pleasure and caprice
he has adopted rule, and this rule founded
upon data which seems adapted to the purpos

made the rebel confession of faith, partook

And this man was the master-spirit ofthe

can doubt that this whole purpose was and
is to subserve the interests Of the rebels.
