Galveston, like most cities under reb.
Ell control, fell into dilopidated cond;-
ton. A correspondent who recently
visited it, says there is not glass lamp
left in the city, and very few whole win
dows. Most of the houses were com
pletoly gutted, the furniture carried off.
and doors and partitions torn down and
used for FIRE wood, and !be hotels turn
ed into stables. The wharves and ware
houses were also destroyed, and now
the city presents most miserable, d.
lapidated and squaIid appearance.

The friends and admirers Of Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis, who want to give him a
respectable appearance in history, as
the martyr of great, though unsuc-
cessful cause, have infinite difficulty in
determining what he had on at the in
teresting period in his history whom he
was taken under the protection of the
United States. They evidently think
that he wore some article of apparel not
usual to his sex. The Enquirer will
have it that it was Mrs. Davis water
proof cloak. The New York News in
sists that it was the ordinary calico gown
SO frequently worn by gentlemen during
hours of relazatiou-particularly mil
itary gentlemen. Recently Southern
paper received assurances that at the
time of Mr.. Davis capture, his atten-
tive wife threw her vail over him, and
scouts the idea of the waterproof cloak
the calico gown, and all that. Really
the exasperated friends Of the mo5ol
Statesman and Christian President, have
as much difficulty in arriving at the
facts, as the gossipers, in the "SchOol
for Scandal" in determining what was
the character and occasion of Sir Peter
Teazle's wound.--T TCin. Com.

The bellies OF CHIoAGo.--Tbe great
event of Saturday week in Chicago
was the counting Of the votes cast in
the Sanitary Fair for the prettiest girl
in that city, the victor to receive an
elegant one thousand dollar dressing
case The fortunate fair one was Miss
Anna L. Wilson, who received 1913,
being a majority of FIVE over Miss Hill,
the next highest competitor. The con =

The most important event which has
yet occurred in the way of Church re-
construction in the Soath Is the recent
organization of an Annual Conference

the Loyal States, admitted into it no

Cen. Grant ON NEGRO sufrrage.

Gen. Grant on Negro Suffrage.
The Chicago Times, Oopperhcad or
gan of the Northwest, publishes the
following editorial paragraph :
General Grant, in conversation with
his friends, says that it is too soon to
declare that the loyal blacks In the
South shall not be allowed TO vote.--
Aside from the distracted right, and the
legal problem of what authority can
confer or withhold the franshise-
whether it be Congress or the States
the question may assume the shape Of
a political necessity. The Government
and people may have to choose between
keeping a standing army Of 100000
men, at an expense of 500, 900, goo 9
year to the tax payers, to support the
white majority, or of enfranchising the
blacks, and thereby enabling them to
support the white loyalists. General
Grant foresees that the suffrage ques
tion may take this form"

Louis Kossutb, in q recent private
letter to Horace Greeley, says in rela-
ton to the suppression of the rebellion:
GLOW happy you must feel in having
been spared to see the triumph of those
grand principles for which you have
been contending all your life! The
stain of slavery is removed from the
fair escutcheon of your noble land.
The curse is dispelled which clouded
the bright prospect Of her future. The
manner in which the genius Of your
people carried through the Democratic
principle in its first application to a
vast community affords sure guaranty
that, to the benefit of all humanity, you
will know how to consolidate by wisdom
and moderation what you.havo. achieved
by bravery and admirable pcrsevcr-
ance."

The Herald's Richmond letter says
At the late time of tho Hampton Peace
Conference the first obstacle in the way
Of adjustment was the Introduction by
Davis, contrary to the wishes of Benja-
min, of the words, "The two countries, -
in the preliminary proposition for neg.
citations with view to the restoration
Of peace. The proposition as origin
ally drawn by Benz contained the
words "With the view to the rcstora
tion of peace to our country But the
last words we're stricken out by Davis,
and the words "both countries" substi.
tuted. The in structions to the commits.
siouers are embodied in this idea as the
sole basis upon which they we're to pro-
coed. The commissioners used all the
influence in their power to induce Davis
to modify his instructions so as not to
foreclose all hope of adjus tmeut; but
in vain. He was infexible in his de-
termination to make the recognition of
independence the indispensable condi-
ton of peace by negotiation.

Virginia manifest total Indifference re-
spectihR the fate of JEFF Davis.
