THE PRESIDENT, MR.. SEWARD AND
JEFF. DAVIS.


The Baltimore Gazette gives some
what different version from that hereto
fore published of the interview had with
President johnson by delegation Of la
dies from Baltimore with petition signed
by fifteen thousand women for the par
don of Jeff Davis. The conduct of Mr..
johnson is said to have been courteous in
the extreme, and after listening to what
the ladies had to say, he replied as fol-
lows: rrrr| .sl.fEts
"That he regretted more than he knew
how to express. that he could not grant
the petition, and that it would give him
far more pleasure to accede to the request
of the ladies present than it would give
them to have it granted. If, added he,
it we're simply question. however be
tween ma n and man, would release Mr.
Davis at once; but it is great National
question. Mighty issues might be in
volved, and now is not the time to take
such step, | think, continued the
President, Il have the courage or as you
term it ladies, pluck, to do my duty and
have proved it. When the proper time
comes for the exercise of magnanimity, |
trust shall not be found wanting.
( In reference to the trial of Mr.. Davis,
Mr.. johnson said:
almost every arrangement has been
made for the trial of Mr.. Davis, but no
one can tell what changes may be brought
about in the course of few weeks. A
hasty and injudicious action in this mat
ter might produce incalculablo misery.
Mr.. Davis has been great leader in the
war against the Government, aud it is
but right he should be tried, by the laws
of the land ! sympathize with him in
sufferings. His quarters have Lcen
changed and his condition amcliorated. "
| In conclusion, Mr.. johnson said
"All men, ladies are under the infu.
ence of women, and not less than 9th.
er men. You are my jewels want
your help and your prayers.
A New York correspondent of the Ma.
con (Ga Telegraph writing on the 18th
of October, gives currency 20 the following
story: ......
"Since | have introduced Mr.. Seward

had a few days since with Thurow Weed
Jefferson Davis being the subject
Weed said Mr.. Davis should be hanged
and expressed himself quite warmly or
the subject Mr. Seward then PROFOUND
ed the query, why should you hang
him {? to which Weed replied: i would
hang him for treason
Mr.. Seward responded in his energeti,
way: We cannot hang him without frs
convicting him, and think no Impair
tial jury would do that Weed said hi.
guilt is already established, and bis con
viction should not be difficult : but Mr.
Seward maintained that no jury could be
formed to convict him, and added in {
significant way And even if we SHOULD
hang him it would be no great moral les
son to the world Gentleman who wer
present during the conversation infe
from it shat Mr.. Davis life is cafe u

The Providence Journal. probably
through the pen of Senator Anthony pays
the following tribute to the late Senator
Collamcr
Judge Collamer was the Ncstor of the
Senate. We think that if his colleagues
had been called to designate the wisest Of
the body, the general suffrage would have
fallen upon him. On every occasion his
opinion had great weight, whether in the
open Senate, or in the informal delibera-
tons which often preccde the settlement
of important measures. He was not a
frequent speaker, and he spoke always at
ter mature deliberation; and although al
ways with a consciousness of the weight
Of his arguments, and the value of his
judgments, yet without attempt at display
and with no mcretricious aids of oratory.
He was listened to with respect and at
tcntion seldom shown to speakers in Con
gress for every one knew that he spoke
only when he had something to say, and
that whatever he had to say was worth
hearing Whenever he addressed the SEN
ate, it was always upon matters actually
under consideration. and with the purpose
of influencing those who heard him. lie
never spoke for Buncome.' No man could
have a greater contempt for that oratory
which is intended to exalt the reputation
of the speaker, not to affect the judgmen
Of the listeners.
Judge Collamer was man of simple ant
sincere piety, member, we believe dea
con, of the Presbyterian Congregations
Church, and illustrated, in his public ant
private life, the faith he professed. II
had the virtues and was not without tn
prejudices of the Puritans, and was sucl
q man as could have been produced onl,
in New England.

FOREIGN NEWS.

After all the terrible ons!aughts OF the
london Times. Earl Russell is the new
Premier of England. There was no get
ting over his. aye and position and con-
ccit that is to say. his sublime idea that
his talents fit him for anything. Lord
Granville. it is said, to make matters ca
sy, will have Che mission to Paris, which
is as honorable as place in the Cabinet
War has broken out between Spain and
Chill, in consequence of demands made by
the former power, to which Chill could
not honorably accedc. The admiral in
- command Of the Spanish fleet in South
American waters has proclaimed the
blockade of the Gillian ports, giving neu-
trail vessels ten days to clear in. Chin
takes up the gauntlet with great spirit.
The people subscribe literally for the
support of the government. Letters-ot-
maraue have been issued by the CHILEAN
authorities, and there is every prospect
of very lively time in that part of the
world.
There has been a little fighting in
3Hayti. On the 25th ult. the commander
of the British war.ship Bull Dog, OF II
guns, at Cape Hayti, demanded sat'sfac-
ton of the rebels for an insult to the
British flag. and receiving no answer
opened fire on the rebel fort He was
awkward enough to run his ship aground
during the bombardment, and was COM
PEELED to escape with his men in boats
from his pc,ilous position in boats. Ratn-
err than suffer his vessel to fall into rebel
hands, he set fire to her and blew her up.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says. 1t is generally, reported in Paris
, that the French army in Mexico will be
withdrawn by instalments, aud that by
August or September. next year, the
whole will have returned to France. This
resolution is said to be adopted, not only
from a desire to afford no reasonable
ground of complaint to the United States,
but also on economical grounds.
