How jefferson Davis is Looked Upon
i'm His Old Home.


From the Cincinnati Commercially
A few days ago an editorial article ap:.
peared in this paper relating to the ap-
parent total desertion of JEFF. Davis by
his old friends of the South. We observe
it is used as text by the Yicksburg Dali
ly Herald, of August S; and as the public
will be interested to know what the old
neighbors of DAVIS have to say of him,
we reproduce from the Herald the follow
ing paragraphs:
From the vicksburg Daily Herald Aug. S 1885,
Warren County was once the home OF
jefferson Davis. He was in retirement
here, on his plantation at Brierheld,
when the Southern seeded States
called him to their leadership. Whatev-
er NAV have been Jefferson Davis faults,
he was not the leader of the rebellion I'M
til after the masses, who were then on
the high horse of separation, made him
their leader. The manner in which he
fulfilled the trust confided to him, when
the passions of the excited hour have
cooled down, must certainly elicit the
admiration of those who admire fidelity
in public servants. That the people who
placed him in high position, promising
the last drop of blood and the last dol
lar became weary and tainted by the
way is most true; but Jefferson Davis
never betrayed them They refused, by
their representatives in Congress, to re.
lieye him of the responsibility they had
thrown upon him. but preferred to save
themselves, while they left him the vic
tim of their acts as we'll as his own.
eve are no apologist of Jefferson Da-
Wis. We never knew him except as a
citizen of this country. A determined
opposition to the doctrines taught by his
pa ty in this State, continuing down long
after the audience of secession; all un-
changed belief, (while acquiescing lin
the decision Of the people of the State III
1861, )that there could never be the same
happiness and prosperity for our people
under new government rs we epoyet
in the United States-certainly places
the writer beyond any suspicicion of Sc.
cessionism Yet, when we are tainted
with ingratitude for not speaking, we
can not be expected to withhold an e1-
preston now Manifest reasons OF pro
priety should suggest themselves to ev,
cry one, why there has been no voice
from the South in behalf of the late lead
er of the Southern people We can say
this however: We know that nothing
would give greater satisfaction to the
people of MISSISSIPPI, of all shades of
opinion, than that the Government
should deem it consistent with the inter
ests and welfare of the nation to release
Mr. Davis, at least Oh parole The idea
of his being executed for treason, has
never seriously entered the mind of any
one in this section Should such fate
befall him, it would send a thrill OF hor
ror through the South such as has neyei
been known in Christendom.'

A similar onslaught has been made
upon Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and
every other Southern State aud the radi-
cal journals have studiouslv and zeal
ously endeavored to create the impress
sion that the South had not yet had
enough of war hut that the great rebel
lion would burst out afresh if the strong
grasp of the military power were one
moment relaxed It is not true: il is
merely subterfuge in which bad men
are trying to cloak their designs upon
the liberty and property of the people.
The people of the South are honest in
their submission to constitutional au-
thority and have suffered too much dur
ing the past fonr years to he anxious to
renew their struggle for independence.
There is no necessity for any longer
maintainance of the military occupation
of the Southern States. and every day it

unnecessarily added to the national
debt and fresh wrong is done to the

in the editorial department Of that paper
that the incoming editor was sort of civ

Consequently, those who thought this OF
him were surprised when he gave utteranre
to views In relation to Charleston on the oc-
b casion of its falling into our possession, the
indulgence of which "would shock every
christian principle and every civilized SEN
timent," and swould reduce SHERMAN and
his army at once to the level of Blackhawk
and the Kickapoos." No sooner had they
recovered from this surprise, than they
were again surprised by his declaration that
he had made the discovery that Charleston
came into our possession on the 18th day of
February, and that that day was st. Pat
rick's day. Neither of these surprises was
as great as the one he produced yesterday
morning by his declaration that he was

ference on the part of the military authors

he proposes to give to his readers next, we
certainly cannot imagine. This is the man

Mrs. ELIZABETH JONES, native OF Wales in the
6sth year OF her age.
The funeral will take place at 10 oOcock this morr-
ing, from the residence of her son-in-law, Dr. }. H.
Coulter, No. so North Third street. The friends of
the family are respectfully invited to attend.
Noone performed more faithfully the duties of
life than did the deceased. She encountered deep
aflction with great fcrtitude never murmuring or
repining at the dispensations Of Providence. One
who has for many years been blessed with her tender
and motherly care over his children and household
can feel what words will not express-deep devotion
to her memory.

Yl-s sLincolm Prayer Meetings ON

1--WE observe that the ''loyal'' Preachers in
the city OF New York originated move
ment, to hold prayer meetings throughout
the United States, on Saturday next, March
4th, from IL to ! o'clock, to pray for ABRA-
HAM .LINcoLN--that being the time when
he willbe reinaugurated; and their brethren
In the other cities and towns seem to be re-

ment. We believe that nothing of the kind
has ever been attempted before in this
country-nor have we ever before had a
"smutty joker, in the Presidential chair
The Preachers evidently recognize the fact,
that LINooLs needs their prayers far more
than any of his predecessors ever needed
them. 1t is all right, therefore, that they
meet and pray for the old sinner, at the
time he takes the oath Of Office anew. Let
them pray that he may become better and
q wiser man, and that he may, during his
second term, administer the Government
Alright. This movement would indicate'
that they believe his first term was fail
