From The Cleveland Piai uLealcr We
learn the following facts Of o most fcbdish

About six years ago man named j.

teen months ago he became acquainted
with young lady of respectable connec-
tlon OF Bedford. named Tam,en Parsons,
to whom he represented himself as uum ar

persuaded her to accompany him to Pitts
bnrgh and there married her, There they
resided for few weeks when she learning
that he had a former wife living in Cleve

! he has three children. His life since has
been one continual found of dissipation
and recklcssnsss, He had sought to speak
with Miss Parsons at Bedford but she per
sstently refused to have anything to say
to him.
About thrcc weeks ago he sent his wife
and children 10 bis former home in the
Isle OF Man, promising to follow as soor
as bis business could be closed up but the
sequel shows it was with vastly differen
intentions
Night before last, in company with OS'

The Poverty of Statesmen.

Statesmen who are worthy the appella-

A Plea for Davis.

The Nicksburg HeroW, one OF the most
loyal papersin the whole South, sets up
plea in behalf Of JEFF. Davis, which we
commend to the attention Of those who
still cry out for more blood It says:
"Warren county, in Mississippi, was
once the homo Of Jefferson Davis. He
was in retiremen. here, on this plauiation
at Brerfeld, when the Southern seeded
Statos called him to their leadership -
Whatever may have been Jefferson Davis
faults, he was not the leader Of the rebels
lion until the masses, who were then Oh
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 cool.
ed down, must certainly elicit the admra-
ton Of those who admire fidelity in public
servants. That tho people who placed
him in high position as their leader, prom.
ispg the last drop Of blood and the lasl
dollar became weary and tainted by
the way is most treu but Jefferson Da-
Wis never betrayed them. They refused,
by their representatives in Congress, to
relieve him Of the responsibility they had
thrown upon him, but preferred to save
themselves while they left him the victim
of their acts as well as his own"
ave are no apologist Of jefferson Da
Wis. We never knew him except as a cili.
zen Of this country. A determined oppo.
sition to the doctrines taught by his party
in this State, continuing down long after
ordinance of secession an unchanged
belief (whle acquescing in the decision Of
the people in 1871 } that there could new
er be the same happiness and prosperity
for our people under new government as
as We enjoyed in the United States-cer-
tainl places the writer beyond any sus-
picion of secessiouism. Yet when we are
with ingratiiude for not speaking, we can
not be expected to withhold all expression
now. Manifest reasons OF propriety
should suggest themselves to every one
why thele has been no voice from the
South in behalf of the late leader of the
Southern people. We can say this, how
ever We know that nothing would give
greater satisfaction to the people Of Miss
sippi, Of all shades of opinion, than tha
the Government should deem it coHsisten
with the interests and welfare of the ma
ton to release Mr.. Davis, at least on pa
role, The idea of his being executed 70
treason has never seriously entered th
mind Of any one in this section, Should
such a fate befall him, it would send
thrill of horror through the South such a
has never been known in Chritendom."
Neither are we the apologists of jeff
Davis, or his champion, in any sens
whatsoever. But We can see no good
the country or to any individual in it fror
prosecuting or imprlsoniug him. On tn
contrary, if the restoration of permaner
peace and kindly feeling between the Sc,
tions be at all desirable, then sound polio
would seem to dictate that no blood shoul
r be shed, and no further suffering or al
initiation should be inflicted CoDcIliatio
is the best and wisest course for all sec
tions, parties and individuals now II scL
