JEFF. DAVIS AND HIS DRESSING Cow.
Two graphic" descriptions of the cap
ture of Mr. Davis are given in the Jour
mails Of yesterday. Every incident re-
lated in the one il contradictsd in tile
other. We have not the slightest doubt
that both are equally correct, and purely
tue inventions of imaginative cOrrespon-
dents. One account says that
mo aiarfa was given until the advance
guard, under command of Capt. G.. 5.
Hudson, were within a few rods of the
tent--all being folded in the arms Of
Morpheus. A rush was Immediately
made, the tents surrounded, and the entire
party gobbled without difficulty ..
Supposipg this to be true, it may ac-
count for the ridiculous story that Mr..
Davis was captured in female apparccii

so rudely awakened, would naturally

THE NEGRoEs.-It was scarcely to be ex-
pected that the negroes, thrown as they were,
into such strange and unexpected relations with
thcr former owners, should all at once behave
with good sense. They are b. nature highly
imaginative, very credulous, and utterly i'm
provident of the future. Notwithstanding the
honest and well meant advice given them in
nine cases out of ten by their masters. they
have preferred to believe the glowing tales Of
the ignorant amongst themselves, or the wanton
representations of white people who deceive
them often in sport. Many Of them are giving
up good homes, where they might remain CON-
Portable, with moderate work; for the sake of a
present holiday to be followed bya future of
bitter regret
sadness in it too, in witnessing the crowds OF
gaily dressed negro women and girls grouped
upon the streets, or trudging through the sand
Where their meat and bread is to come from
when the army has left, or any clothes after
those tawdry ones wear out, is hard to imagine
They will find it difficult to resume places which
they have abandoned, some of them making
the first use of their freedom to insult their mis-
tr-sses, thus cutlug off >all hope of return.
They will now aaunt awhilr and come soon to
starvation, or crime.
1t is hardly dealing killly with H. posr
creatures, evidently unfit as they are 10 take

tecicd. Those who leave their homes have of
course given up all claim upon the advice Or
assistance of their iormsr owners, and the latter
of course are powcrl - to coercc them The

the operations of the ir-rliD ms bureau b. not

in this and the adjoining counties, the country
will become desert. For it is beyond all ques-
ton that the negro will steal or beg before he
will voluntarily work, and thai he takes no
thought of the morrow
1t is of the utmost importance, also, that the
true relations between the white and negro
be understood at ONCE. for the benefit Of both,
that all may adapt themselves without loss vi
time, TO tac new system. Our agriculturists
are all afoat in their plans, and DO not seem
rightly to understand any part of system
which atfScts them 50 vitality. They know not
how much they will be required ~ pay the
negro, or what obligations they may b. under
to feed and clothe the infrm. They do not un-
derstand how the negro is to be compelled to
fulfill his contract or what powers Of coercion,
if any, will be entrusted to the employer
Meanwhile the crops are lost in the weeds. and
the negro is dancing away his tim with his
head filled with crazy dreams of ,n Hess holi-
days.
We respectfully call the attention " tho

ResuIt of 1he ELECTION.

The returns of the last day or two
have disappointed us greatly, the laggard
counties not having done near as well as
those first in. Our table, it will be seen, is
still incomplete, from thirty-three counties
there being no report whatever, as yet. Tn
many of these, however, no vote was cast.
Our figures on the home vote make the
majority against the Constitution 3,50l.-
There are reported soldiers returns which
reduce this by 2,342, still leaving balance
against OF 1,l59. The reportof the soldiers
vote comes in questionable shape, and we
are somewhat incredulous with regard to it.
The counties to be heard from entire gave
in the election for Supreme Judges in 1863,
majority of 406 for Clover, Wagner and
Krekel, the Radical candidates. They ought
to and may give majority against the
Constitution. Some of the counties from
which we have received butpartial returns,
as Nodaway and Usage, are expected to
give handsome additional figures on the
negative side. The bulk of the soldiers
vote is already in, much of 1t being counted
with the home vote. Qnuthe whole, it is a
pretty close contest, and the majority cam
not be large either way.-MisSo,ri RepubR-
can, June 13.

The peacock that is kept in the State Trea-

sorry he had not been in the army. Had it
not been that the War Department ruled
out feather beds, pomatuml cologne water,
and kid gloves, he would have been; but,
nevertheless, he and Governor BRoUGH had
done great service. They had put down

The Commonwealth newspaper thinks the
process of contiscation is too slow, and
SAYS what we want is such alaw as some of
the purest patriots of Rome once asked and
died for !; such a law as would have saved
that, republic. from perdition, If it could
have been had in season; such a law as
aristocrats In all centuries since have ex-
pended all the eloquence that money would
buy to render odious; In short, an agrarian
law. Such law, made immediate by the
supreme will of a regenerated and disen-
thralled nation, is the logical sequence of
the fall of slavery" We suppose The COM
monwealh would be impartial and enforce
this law in every State. With Mr.. Phillips
repudiation scheme, and an equal division
of all the land of the country among its in
habitants, everybody would be rich enough
to buy out his nei ghbor.- Boston Post.

Put This and That Together!

The Cleveland Leader is evidently an or
gan OF Gov. BRoUGH. 1t is the jealous adj
vocate of his denomination, and in its is
sue of Wednesday, it congratulated its
readers that the denomination Of the Gov
ernor was assured beyond doubt. In the
same issue it commented on the Presidents
Proclamation appointing Judge SHARKEY
Provisional Governor of Mississippi, and
restoring Civil Government to that State.
The Proclamation is satisfactory in all
save its material point-that is, it
is not satisfa :tory because it does
not confer Suffrage on the Mississippi
Negroes. Would it support so zealously
Governor BRoUGH for denomination, If his
position were not satisfactory on the Ne
gro Suffrage question? ........ ... ..

What we should NOT DO.

The New York Times manifests some
sense in some Of its views as to how the
people of the South should be treated. 1t
has come to the conclusion-and we wish
all our people could bring their minds to
the same conclusiOn-that sit is not for us
to poison the wound we have inflicted on
their pride, nor to stab, with insulting
blows, the dead body Of their ambition.
Far wiser will it be for us to prove to them,
by our civil policy, that they have been
quite as much mistaken in their judgment
of our principles as they were in their esti-
mate of our physical power"
The Times is not an advocate of forcing
the South to confer suffrage on the manu-
mitted slaves.

THURSDAY MORNING. 80 JUNE 10.
Restoration Of Civil Government
I'm NlississipDi.

fft .f.Hr IA NAhnShSSARRts
President JOHNSON has issued his Pro-
clamation appointing Judge WILLIAM 8.
SHARKEY, of Mississippi, Provisional Gov
ernor of Mississippi, and providing for the
restoration of Civil Government in that
State. This Proclamation will in no degree
add to the happiness of the Radicals. Not
withstanding they have stormed and pro-
tested against the Presidents policy of 're-
construction" as enunciated in his North
Carolina Proclamation, which does not re-
cognize the blessed Negro as present or
prospective Observation-Disclosures ASH
LEY held up to his view, by way of intimi-
dation, the ghastly spectres of parties that
the Abolitionists claim to have slaughtered
for their opposition to the Abolition move
ment--notwithstandi Senator SHERMAN
refused to approye-notwithstanding Gen
eral SCHENCK's adherents at Dayton voted
on to the table Lieut.. Governor ANDERsoN's
practical indorsemeDt--the President has
reiterated his North Carolina policy In his
Proclamation for the restoration of Civil
Government in Mississippi. The two Proc
lamations are the same identically-the
same word for word, except wherein the
State, the Provisional Governor and the
date of the adoption Of the secession Or
dinance, are named. In it the Consolida-
tionists and the Negro-Suffrageites can find
no anchorage. For this grand act, that gives
the country the right to hope the President
will continue to spurn the theories of the
Consolidationists and the visionary notions
of the Negro-Suffrageite we thank the
President with a hearty sincerity. The
cloud and the pressure that have for weeks
weighed oppressively on the minds of the
practical well-wishers of their country be-
gins to lift, and hopefulness is once more
giving buoyancy to their feelings. And if
the President shall continue in well-doing
in this good work, and shall abolish militia
ry courts and military commissions, restore
the ha6eas corpus and temper justice with
mercy, we are not sure but we may become
believer in special Providential dispensa-
tions after all.

The inference left on the mind of the
reader who read AsHLEY's speech at Tole-
do, in which he detailed his interviews
with the President, is that he was not salts
fled with the President. The telegraph re-
ports the arrival of ex-Gov. AIKEN at
Charleston on the 9Th, on which occasion
the citizens gave him cordial reception.
He is reported as having been favorably
Impressed with the President of whom he
spoke in high terms. 1t is not improper to
look upon this as among the hopeful signs.

DouhffnI.

-Weinotice that the opinion is expressed
that President JOHNSON, while In his Proc
lamations establishing civil government in
the late insurgent States, he refers the dis
position of the question of suffrage to the
respective States, he will, nevertheless, use
his personal and official influence in favor
Of the extension of suffrage to the Negroes.
We don't think he will do anything of the
sort; for were he disposed thus to use his
personal and official influence, Gen. SrEED-
MAN would have been sure to have made
proclamation of that factin his Cincinnati
speech. al1 SaF .i af atr or

may be influenced when home, to vote the
'unscratched Democratic ticketl'" There are

Cans Administer the Government
Except I'm A Accordance with Dem.
Ocratic Principles.

1t has been stated by some journal, on
what the editor thereof claims to be au-
thentic intelligence, that President JOHN
son has expressed his inability to admins
ter the Government except in accordance
with Democratic principles. Whether he
has SO. expressed himself or not, it is never
thsless true. The theory on which our
Government is founded will not admit of
its being administered successfully in any
other way. You might as well seek to
propagate Christianity by ignoring Christ's
Sermon, on the Mount.

True.

The Louisville Journal Of the 18th, in
speaking of President JOHNSON, truly says:
II he pursues the course he is now taking
of which there is no reason to doubt, so
far as we know--he will not only command
the support of all moderate, fair minded
men in the North, but the respect, love, and
gratitude of the great mass Of the Southern
people, including not a few who have been
secessiOniste. .-.L n. naML N nI
