The Washington Republican says: We have
reason to believe the Government is in pos
session of letter written by JEFF Davis, the
day after the Sherman-Johnston armistice
was signed, in which Davis declares that
while It did not grant all he would have liked,
vet that it was conceding more than he had
sny reason to expect That, in his judgment,
Il acknowledged the rebel Government; gave
them authority to continue that Government
in the late rebellious States, to which the reb-
81 soldiers were allowed to return and deposit
their arms. Out Of this recognition, he ex-
pressed, the opinion that the United States
could be made to pay the rebel debt we be-
Iieve the letter will soon be made public.
