Charles O'Connor has been spending sew
eral days at Fortress Monroe, most of which
time has been consumed in protracted pri-
vate interview with his client, Jefferson Da-
Wis. 1t is thought that this visit was occa-
stoned by Their reports of the Judiciary Commit
tee, from which it appears that all the efforts
brought to bear, not excepting the suborn-
ing OF witnesses to swear his life away, by
Holt and others, have totally failed to impli-
cate Mr.. Davis in the assassination plot
And that, as he now stands charged with
that alone, for which others likewise charged
have been released on parole, an effort is
now to be made to obtain his release on pa
role. However this may be, Mr.. O'Connor
is in Washington, and his business is said to
be rather with the War Department than
With the Attorney General
The Judiciary Committee have signally
failed to elicit anything save that the wit
nesses who swore positively as to the impli-
cation of Mr.. Davis and others in the assas-
slnation conspiracy. not only swore falsely
but were paid so to do by Mr.. Holt and 9TH
ers. That written statement was given
them to learn and repeat when Intercepted
which was learned and repeated, and on &C.
count of this pretended implication Of our
anti H.
a cell, handcufed, and misused as no one
but himself of can realize.
Little by little the infamy of those men,
who would have consigned Jefferson Davis
to the gallows, dishonored and DETAINED, leaks
out, and while it sinks them lower and low
er In the estimation of the civilized world,
raises higher and higher the character of the
nations distinguished captiye-a man who
never did an act he was ashamed to own.
and who will stand peerless among his coun-
trymen when those, who, by perjury and the
suborning of witnesses have endeavored to
tarnish his good name, will be sunk in the
depths of merited and everlasting execra-
ton. We earnestly desire to see Jefferson
Davis brought to speedy trial With
OConnor, Brady, Reed and others as his
counsel there will be great deal of equirm-
ing in radical ranks, which will be amusing
to witness. But if a speedy trial can not be
had, we trust Mr.. Davis may be released on
parole, whether that is MI O'Connot's OBJ.

Before and during the war, the Southern
master confded in his slave and the slave in
turn relied upon his master for the sustenance
of himself and family, and protection from
wrong at the hands of others. Nor need we
say to those who are familiar with that of
which we write that this confidence on the
one hand and reliance on the other, was but
rarely abused. Since the emancipation Of
slaves, however, an influence has been at
work to sever the friendship which has SC
long existed between the whites and blacks
of the South Those men in high places,
whose duty it was to have aided in restoring
amicable feelings between the lately hostile
sections, with but few exceptions, have the
rather endeavored to make the alienation
more permanent and lasting. To accom-
plish this more surely have their many acts
of Legislation been passed, which, in no small
degree, have tended to create distrust, want
of confidence, and even ill-feeling between
Southern whites and blacks, who are still, to
vast extent dependent upon each other, and
especially are the blacks dependent upon the
whites. Men have even been sent to, Or
are found in certain communities, so depraved
or lost to all principle, as to instigate the
eolored people to deeds which must rebound
to their future disadvantage, if they do not, as
in several instances already, result in the
death of many of them.
With the allurements held out shortly af-
ter the close of the war, it was not to be
wondered at that many negroes ceased to
work and gave themselves up to idle or vi
cious lives. Soon, however, their necessi-
ties or good sense, together with the contin-
ned kindness of their former masters, indu-
ced the vast majority to resume their work
and they bid fair to become again useful
members Of society. This did not suit those
men who had arisen through intestine strug-
gle to the surface. They must needs keep
alive an internal strife or sink forever. The
various disturbances we hear of are the fruits
Of their efforts, and, while advantaging nei-
Their party to the struggle, serve to advance
the interest of the instigators and their abet-
tors. We have not, and we are glad to see
that others do not lay the blame to the poor
emancipated slave, who, without false tutor
ing, would have accommodated himself to
his changed condition and been useful as a
laborer, as is witnessed where the vile teach
ings of malicious agitators have not insinu-
ated themselves, and our treatment to those
who conduct themselves with the propriety
should be just as kind as at any period Of our
past lives.
But to those pretended friends of the poor
African, who teach him to distrust his early
friends, the Southern whites, and incite him
to open hostility against them, in order that
they may be advantaged thereby, too much
Of culpability can not attach. All the blood
that has been spilled by their teachings is
upon their heads and fearful reckoning is
In store, which sooner Or later must and will
overtake them.

The radicals do not like the course taken
by President johnson in reference to the
New Orleans riot growing out of the instiga-

ted by the converting of set of revolution
lists, styling themselves the Louisiana State
Convention of 1864.
Wonder if they are any better plesed with
the description of their pets by Gen. Sheri-
dan, who, in dispatch to Gen Grant, says
GA political body, calling itself the conven-
ton Of 1864, met On the 30th for, as it is al
legged, the purpose Of remodeling the present
constitution Of the State
The leaders were political agitators and
revolutionary men, and the action of the con-
vention was liable to produce breaches of the
public peace. I had made up my mind to
arrest the head men if the proceedings of the
convention were calculated to disturb the
tranquility of the department, but | had no
cause for action until they committed an
overt act"

only after Col. Hardin, who was stranger,
was vouched for by well known citizen of

was ascertained to be a forgery and that a
man calling himself Col. Jas. II. Hardin had
used similar forged drafts before We learn
that the National Valley Bank of Staunton
