The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-12-22


Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS has his days of
absence from the duties Of his Office. Hours
of Illness come to him,as they come to all men.
Intervals occur when he is Withdrawn from
the world, and when he has every opportunity
Of being troubled with thick-coming fancies
He cannot always expect to be punctual at
Cabinet conclaYes, nor TO always an his chair
at the proper moment in his office at the
Treasury Building. And although the day
has not yet come when Richmond shall know
him no more, yet the story of his official life
from year to year, is broken in upon, as that
Of every other man is, by occasional absences.
The dispatches inform us that he has been
ILL., though the Richmond papers anxiously
contradict the report Of his poisoning. He has
been suffering from one of his severe neuralgic
attacks, but on Friday afternoon last attended
Cabinet meeting, and the next morning
showed himself in the streets on his way to
the Treasury.
As he lies in the quiet and remote sick
room, what can this man, this JEFFERSON
DAVIS, be thinking about? Solid, serious
reflection win come to the most thoughtless
and Gippant at times, and Mr.. DAVIS is nei-
ther fippant nor a thoughtless man. Con-
strained reflection is one of the elements OF
retribution, and is a visitation which will
surely occur to such a man as he. 1t has
passed into proverb that illness softens the
heart, as suffering puriaes the affections. Mr..
DAVIS needs both sohening and purifying,
II the keenest darts of remorse ranllle deepest
in hours Of weakness and depression, we may
imagine the experience preparing for this
man, as the pictures OF the past group around
him in his lonely and silent hours. The very
short past of the last four years is sufficient to
furnish many an unholy and remorse-inspring
panorama for him. Whatever step he takes
now, retributlon win meet him halfway, ready
with foretaste Of death.
Mr.. DAVIS cannot afford to de yet. Ha
has the work TO complete which, he has begun
He has to get the South out of the scrape in
which he has involved her. at least, this is q
performance which the Southern people have
the right TO expect of him. He has, too, to
witness the death OF all bis own hopes in
regard to the Confederacy, aud the rcsurrec-
tion of all that was once included ia the word
Union. lie has to behold Union Tag float
ing over every fortress OF the S)uth, and 10
observe hands Joined together which are now
raised against each other. He has TO witness
the perfect realization Of 3 Republic which
shall be one entire and perfect chrysolite, and
Justify itself TO the world. Let him think OF
these things in bis days Of absence.
