The PetiicOat Story Authoritatively
Exploded.

The story that JEFF. DAVIS was dressed
in his wife's petticoats when captured, was
promulgated by STANTON, the Secretary of
War, over the telegram lines. 1t now
turns out that the account, including every
detail Of it sent by telegraph, was fic-
ton, possibly manufactured at Washing
ton. The Chicago Republicans paper
edited by the late Assistant Secretary of
War-makes the following statement:
The story that the rebel chief when taken
was disguised in female apparel, was a canard,
originated we presume as q good joke by
the soldiers who witnessed the event. though
possibly by the mistake of some one who new
er before saw gentleman's dressing gown.
According to the statement of persons who
were of he'party captured with Davis, it was
such q garment he had on, and the same gar.
ment he had slept in during the night. This
statement is corroborated by members of the
Chicago Board Of Trade Battery, who accom-
panied the Wilson expedition and heard the
event narrated, with minute details by the
"boys" who captured and brought in the rebel
CHIEF. They say the petticoat story, lady's
waterproof cloak, ''tin water bucket" and all.
was a fiction, and that the onlysgarment re-
sembling female attire he had on was dress
ing or morning gown.

bricks this evening. The occasion is one in
which desired to participate, both as an adj
mirer of the public course of the distinguished
gentleman who is to be your guest and as o
citizen of Minnesota, interested in its future.
The especial service which Senator Hem
bricks, has rendered our own State and his
fidelity as public man to the general inter-
ests Of the West give . peculiar significance
and propriety to this testimonial of apprecla-
ton. g.. $3.50
Irejoice that this occasion has been provid-
ed by st. Paul as Municipality. Ovations to
public men which have always been character
istic of Republics have of late fallen too much
into desuetude in this country. The reason
is found in the fact that they have come to be
regarded rather as thenexponents of political
views than as representatives of the people.
This should not be so, The hour has already
struck when it is of the highest importance to
the West that its public men should be selected
and supported as servants of its material inter-
ests; and am pleased to hope that the pres
ent is but inaugural to other similar festivals
in honor of distinguished citizens which will
signify that the people of this Capital are not
unmindful of the necessities of the times %
am requested to respond to the toast The
legal profession" That profession is always
present in force where good cheer abounds. I
regret my absence less In the belief that Col.
James Gilfllan, of the Eleventh Minnesota,

yers are not. With my thanks for the COM
