To HIS EkeeUeaey, Cor. PsP0ftt, RICK
uIOEd, 20:
DEAR SIE-I feel it to be my duty to
inform you of the following facts, viz:
About the 9Th of last May Mr.. ]. a.
Towers, Of Wheeling, Va, and ]. G.
Spinner, of Baltimore. Nd, came 70
my house, from Charlotte, n. G. Spin
ner being an old friend of mine, in
sisted on their stopping with me.
About the first of June Spinner went
back TO Charlotte, leaving Col. Towers
with me. Being much pleased with him
Mrs. w. and myself insisted on his
making our honse his hOme.as long as
he desired it. In July he had slight
attack OF chill and fever, which has
been very prevalent in this place dur
ing the entire summer. AfSer his re-
coTeEy. his mind began to wander and
IS entirely gone He also has dropsy,
and the Doctor that is attending him
says that he is not long for this world,
and advised me to inform his friends
Not knowing who they are, and being
aware that he had written You some
time since, Is my reason for now adj
dressing you on the subject. If his
friends wish to see him alive think
they had better come on at once or
write, for my situation as regards him
IS very delicate, not knowing his family.
but have and will continue to do ali
that can be done for his comfort. Again
apOlOgizing for treSpassing on your
time, beg to remain,
Yours very respectfully,
Jos. f. WALLER.

THE controversy in Kentucky goes
on with bitterness, Notwithstanding the
Presidents attempt to settle 1t byremo-
wing martial law and retaining Gen,
Palmer In command. The Kentuckians
say that there is just as much military
rule as before. The grandJury of Mason
county has presented Gen. Palmer for
Overawing the elections by force and
for illegally freeing negroes. Gen. Pal
mer has issued another long letter to
Gov. BramIette in defence ofhis conduct.
He acknowledges that he considers
slavery dead in Kentucky and has acted
upon that idea in giving passes 70
negroes togowhcre they pleased, in and
out Of the State. As what remains of
slavery In Kentucky has n legal exis-
tence, and will have till 1t is abolished
by the State or by the adoption Of.the
amendment to the United States consti-
tuition, Gen. Palmer is wrong in theory,
and he could probably have accomplish
ed just rs much for the welfare of the
negroes without any such exasperating
measures. The KentucIIinns, however,
may rs well anticipate the abolition OF
slavery by the milton, and get what
credit they can by making 1t voluntary
in their own State.

THE leaders Of the Democratic party
have afEeeteda special regard for Gen.
Sherman, hoping to ride Into power In
1875 upon his military and personal
popularity; and Il mus be confessed
that many earnest friends fthe Union
have feared that he might accept a
presidential nomination at their hands.
ne following letter, however, shows
fhAf the party 1nnst be transformed in
its professions, If not IN its spirit, before
II can take him for its leader:
Ges. Jultsoa RIlPnh1ek:
DEAR SIR: I have observed with In
terest your political conflict in New
Jersey. It Is really provoking. hardly
worthy of . serious thought, but rather
of satire and ridicule, the squirming of
the politicians called CopPeTheads, Who
opposed the war from every eoncefva BILE
motive Some from sheer cOwartiice
others to oppose political party. Some
because they thought NE could NOT
whip the South, and, now that it is re-
duced 10 demonstration, have hard
work TO explain their conduc4, even to
themselves have no patience with
that class Of men, and believe the peo-
pie Of the South have more respect for
us who belabored them soundly, than
for the COpperheads, who, nominaIly
their friends, led them deeper and deep
er into trouble.

Petitions for the Pardon OF DayfS.
II IS believed that the cabinet has had
under consideration lately The question
OF the trial Of Je6 Davis. The report is
that Chief Justice Chase does no wish
% preside at the trial, and that seyeralI
members Ofthe cabinet are for a trial
by military count, while the President Is
determined that II he is tried at an II
shall be by a civil CONT The opinion
gains at Washington that there viii be
no trial, but that Davis VIII soon be
PandOnsd or in some way released.
Memorials to the President in behalf Of
Davis have recently been adopted by
the Mississippi Legislature and the
GeOrgiA State convention. The former
is calm and strongly reasoned dOcu-
ment. It sets forth the strong attach
ment of the people of Mississippi to
Davis, and declares that he was merely
their agent and representative in the
rebellion and is no more deserving OF
punishment than they. The memorial
lists say
'Itwasno lawless spirit ofmere revolt
that prompted the people Of Mississippi
TO their course during the late contest.
They coutended not sfor power, or plnu-
der, or extended rule hut As they
honestly believed, for their hearths,
their affairs and their homes The at
tempted revolution was the peoples
word, and Jefferson Davis WAS their
chosen instrument. Called TO the promi-
nent position he occupied, he was but
the representative Of the people Of the
reTolted states. His sin, lift be a sin,
was our sin. > The liberation OF
Jefferson Davis and his return to the
State of Mississippi can work no danger
TO the great nation over whose councils
you have, in the providence Of God,
been called TO preside. His arm Is
poWerleSs for injury; his intellect too
great and noble TO inspire him with a
single thought Of renewed contest, his
heart too much in sympathy with our
people not to compel him 10 live with us,
a loyal citizen hencefoTth. The people Of
Mississippi, who know Jefferson Davis
so well, know that IL there Is such a
thing as u moral impOsibility, it Is
morally impossible that his name can
he justly chargeable with assassination,
with cruelty, or with crime. His heart
never entertained, his hand never gave
help to any such atrocity. Is IL lust or
wise, or can it be beneficial, that another
costly sacrifice shall be made of our
blood and treasurer And Jefferson
Davis is of our blood, and he is our
treasured We believe it true policy for
You, for us, for the nation, for the world,
that the gulf offeeling which has separa-
ted the North and the South should not
