WHO Is PRESIDENT OF THE CoNFEDERA-
cY.-We are in the receipt of numerous com
municstions raising the constitutional ques.
ton as to who is acting President of the Con.
federacy, now that jeff Davis is in our pos.
session, and Mr.. Stephens will not assume
the responsibilities OF the office. The query
is timely one, but moments reflection
would have satisfied our correspondents that
Mrs. Davis is the Legitimate successor to her
husbands duties. When he ran off with her
petticoats she had no alternative but to pu,
on the breeches. And 10 view OF the Ian
guage she used on that occasion, we venture
TO predict that foreign nations will make all
haste to recognize her as belligerent.--M T.

The testimony taken in the assassination
conspiracy case last Friday is now made pub
lie. 1t shows that the conspiracy dates back
to the summer Of 1868. and that Booth was
then engaged in it. The conspiracy contem-
plated the capture Of President Lincoln, his
murder, burning Of Northern cities, creating
disafeotion among the Northern people at the
war, and bringing about revolution in favor
Of the Confederaoy.
Booth was the leading agent in the matter,
visiting variouc points in the country and
holding secret consultations in Canada with
Geo. n. Sanders (who has since said he did
not know Booth,) Clay, Halcome, Thompson
and others. Booth was furnished with mon
ey from Richmond and was agent 10 hire 9TH
ers. An actor named Chester refused to have
anything to do with the affair, though Booth
promised him S2500. He was only to see
that the back door Of Growers Theatre, where
it was at frat contemplated to perpetrate the
assassination, was kept open for exit. Booth
at first coaxed him and then threatened him
with death If he divulged
The above is a summary Of the lengthy les-
imony taken on Friday.

, The FLIGHT OF JEFF. DAvts--Hs Opi-
/ mon Concerning the Rebel Oause.---South
Carolina correspondence concerning the flight
Of Davis, after the failure Of Johnstons ar
rangement with Gen. Sherman and the con-
clusion Of the armistice agreed upon between
these parties says
At eleven o'clock on the day the srmis-
tce expired, Davis horse, handsome blood
ed bay, was brought to the door Of the priv
ate house in which he was stopping, at Char
lotte. At twelve, having learned that the
terms Of the aforesaid convention were re-
jected, he mounted his horse, and, accompa-
ned by numerous friends and officials, rode
off, At the same time two thousand cavalry,
under command Of Maj Gen. Dbbrel, moved
off with him, acting in the capacity Of an es-
oort.
That night Davis reached the vicinity Of
Lexington, where he encamped. The next
morning be took breakfast with James Madi-
son Leach, ex-member Of the United States
Congress, and one Of the body who styled
themselves confederate states Congress. Mr..
Leach was reported to be strongly in favor Of
reunion.
In passing through Lexington Davis was
introduced by judge Freeman OF Mississippi,
who was travelling with him to DR.. Dusen-
bury, native Of the place. The doctor in
vited Davis to take drink Of apple brandy,
and be did so. A brief conversation ensued.
The doctor remarked: Mr.. Davis, our
cause is lost
Davis replied Our cause may be lost,
but the principle for which we are contending
will present itself at another time in another
shape
He meant that there would yet be con-
tiict between the great agricultural interests
Of the South and the manufacturing and com
mercial interests Of the North and Northwest.
The conversation continuing. DR.. Dusen-
bury again observed The masses of the
people Of the south were not prepared for
self government
To that be replied by saying; Unfortunate
ly it was So
During the whole conversation Davis
looked cateworn, fauRued and dispirited.
He complained of suffering seAerely from
neuralgia.
Mr.. Davis private secretary told friend
that one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
would cover all the specie they had with
them"

MURDERER AT LARGE.-On Monday Of
last week, ]. C. Eggleston OF Guilford, VT,
was shot dead by Andrew Knowles. 1t il
supposed that the murderer passed through
St. Albans on Saturday. A reward of two
hundred dollars is offered for the apprehen.
sion of Knowles, or for such information az
will lead to his arrest. We give descrip'
ton OF the murderer: He is five feet foui
inches high. weighs one hundred and forty
pounds, has brown hair, fair complexion, q
full face, wears black round top hat with
a stiff brim, black frock coat, hght-colored
pants, and has sort of rocking or shambling
gait when he walks.-1imes.

JEFF.s FRoCK.-There is great demand
for the dress in which the fugitive President
Of the confederacy attempted to escape from
mis- pursuers. Barnum, of course, is after it,
and bic agent offers five hundred dollars for
it; the managers Of the Northwestern Ssni-
tary Fair are begging for it, to place it with
their other trophies a" returned volunteer"
offers $3.50, 900 for it with JEFF. IN it, to ex-
hibii in all the states, and he promises halt
the proceeds to disabled soldiers another
person proposes that the government put him
on exhibition at Washington, in " costume, -
at five dollars ticket, the proceeds to be
used in paying the national debt another
wants it sold and the proceeds distributed
among the confederate bondholders in Eng
land. If the government was short Of money,
which, fortunately, owing to the great popu-
larity Of the 730 loan, it is not, it might be
well to put it up at auction and let these va
rious sspirants for the honor of its possession
compete for it, Probably its final resting
place will be among other curiosities in the
patent office, where it will be exhibited in
future years as all tina, remains of the once
proud and naughty and defiant souther con-
federscy.

BADLY BROUGHT UP.

1t is 'aid that JEFF. Davis was the son Of a
Kentuckian, who left his country for his coun-
try's good-being little too strongly sus-
pected as horse thief. However this may
be, it is tolerably certain that Jefs earliest
education did not inspire him with any very
strict regard for honor or honesty. A trait
or to the country that educated him at West
Point; traitor to the commander under
whom he saw the frat service--we mean good
old Hack Taylor, whose daughter Davis in
vegled into matrimony against her fathers
will; thief Of money extorted from theVir-
ginia banks, and plate and jewelry begged
from Southern women and at last coward.
1t can truly be said that he has been an apt
scholar in the Devils school, and far out
stripped the Kentucky horse-thief. What
makes his case still more lamentable is that
he has ability enough to make him both a
brilliant aud useful man. 1t was stern moral
principle that was lacking, and like many
more humble criminals be is like to feel the
result at the end Of rope.
