/ The PARDON OF JEFF DAvTs.-The Baltimore Gazette
relates the interview of the delegation of Baltimore Ia
dies With the President the occasion of their
sentng petition signed by 600 ladies of that CITY
for the unconditional pardon of the late rebel chief
lstrate. The petition presented by Mrs Coleman
daughter OF John J. CrttendeR. The Gazette saws.
"Ihe conduct of Mr. johnson was courteous in the
extreme He listened with marked attention and hes.
ltated some moments before he made reply Finally
he said:
That he regretted more than he knew how to ex
press, that ne could not grant the petition and that it
would give him far more pleasure to accede to the re-
quest OF the ladies present than it would give them to
have granted. If added he, 1T were simply cues
ton between man and man, would release Mr. Davis
at once; but it is great national question Mirhtyis
sues might be involved and is not the time to take
such step. ! think, continued the president 4 have
the courage or you term it, ladies' pluck to do nv
duty and have provedit. When the proper time comes
for the exercise of magn animty trust that shalnot
be found wanting.
in reference to the trial of Mr. Davis Mr. Johnson
said:
j" Almost every arrangement has been made for the
trial OF Mr. Davis but tell what Eanges NAV
ty and injudicious action might produce ncacuable
misery Mr.. Davis has been great leader in the war
against the government and it but right he should be
tried by the laws Of the land. | sympathize with him
n his suterings His quarters have been changed and
mis- condition ameliorated.'
In conclusion Mr.. johnson said
All men, ladies, are under the influence of women.
and not less than other men, You are nv Jewels
want your help and your prayers
No knight of old, said one of the ladies' could have
been more courty in his Difference nor more gentle in
MS refusal The committee left deeply impressed with
the earnestness Of Mr.. Johnson and convinced of his
kindly feelings and good faith"
