The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1866-05-11

The Radicals in the Senate refuse to
repeal or modify the test oath, one of
the grounds being that there are Union
men enough in the South, who can take
it, to fiji all the Offices And yet, when
the President selects Union men Of this
character for responsible positions, they
are generally inclined to reject them
A notable instance is that of Gen +. =
Blair, of St Louis, one oil the ablest OF
our officers taken from civil life, true
man, and a gentleman Another is
that Of Albert klmore, of Alabama, who
was nominated for the Coliectorship Of
Mobile. He was rejected by reason Of
alleged participation in the rebellion.
A letter from Montgomery, where Mr..
Elmore resides, says, the donizens OF
that place were somewhat surprised by
the announcement Of his rejection for
such reason, and adds-"If there was
q consistent Union man in this State
curing the war, VINO was the objective
point Of oblOquy and criticism for his
answering Unionism, that man was
Eimore. lie did not disguise his SEN
timents, but toed the mark like
man, honest in his convictions. 1t is
regarded as a good joke by the Senate
here, as he is highly competent and de-
serving"
Another case, still, is that Of Hon F.
W. Sykes, who was rejected as Commis-
sioner Of Direct Taxes for Alabama
The objection to him was that be was
q member of the rebel Legislature Of /
that State. Nevertheless, Mr.. Sykes is !
q thorough going Union man, and

are interested. Mrs. Davis is probably
not an exception. 1t is certain that
she is enthusiastically hopeful regard
ing the future of Mr. Davis. She ex-
presses the sure belief that be will very
soon be released on his parole 1t is
possible that the wish In her case ID
father to the thought, but she talks
with that degree of assurance on the
topic carrying conviction of stronger
basis for the belief she expresses than
idle surmises founded on delusive hope.
There might be persons she says who
would like to rescue Mr.. Davis from
prison, but she scouts the idea of his
accepting any such release. He will
not 90 away from here, she declares,
unless in a manner COMFORTING with
his sense of high honor; and she
claims for him a puncLillio of honor
partsking Of the chivalry of the old
knights of the medieval ages. On the
subject Of parole she insists with equal
emphasis, that he would sacrifice his
life before violating his parole-Cor. NJ

The President and the Georgetown
Conference.

conference
The President to-day, by appoint
ment gave an audience to the dele.
gates of the General Conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church, now in
session in Georgetown, D C.. Alabama,
Virginia, Maryland and the District of
Columbia only are represented, it hav-
ing been said that those appointed from
the other Southern States had not the
means to pay the expenses of travel.
The presiding officer of the Confer
ence introduced the dtlegates seVeTslly
to the President, remarking that they
had, in accoIdanceawith d resolution
unanimously adopted, come to pay
their respects to him. Abiding to the
fiery ordeal through which the South
ern people had passed, he needed not
remind the President of the difficulties
which environed them, and the power
ty which they we're now suffering,
though this might be ascribed as the
cause of the small number of ministers
and delegates present at the Confer
ence. He might continue his remarks,
but he feared to trespass on the Presi-
dents indulgence. He, however, pray
ed that the blessing of Almighty God
might rest upon the President, and that
the Lord would give him the requisite
wisdom and strength to perform his
important duties
TO this the brethren responded with
an enthusiastic amen.
he President thanked the delegates
sincerely for the compliment which
they had paid him by this visit He
trusted that the prayer they had offer
ed would be heard and answered by
the Power to which it was addressed,
and that all the honest efforts of the
Conference would be crowned with sue
cess. He hoped the day was not dis
tant when peace and prosperity would
be restored TO a divided country.

The Anair at Stevenson.

TWAS reported to us by gentleman
who came down on the train from Ste
venson, on Monday night, that the citi-
zens Of that place were in considerable
state Of excitement in apprehension of
a difficulty with the negroes there,--a
negro woman having been killed by q
white man that evening, and the
pegroes having threatened retalia-
ton upon the citizens There was
some uueasiness felt lest there might
be q repetition Of the horrible affair at
Memphis We are glad to learn from
a conductor on the freight train, Mr..
Pullen, who left Stevenson at 9 o clock
yesterday morning, that the anticipated
outbreak did not occur, and that there
was, indeed, but little foundation for
fear at all. The woman was not killed,
nor more severely beaten than she
deserved to be from the facts stated to
US. An employee of the road was
coming out Of the door of the Hotel,
when the woman used some very
insulting epithets towards him, and hit
him in the face with her hand He
Knocked her down, but getting up she
UAinefeu a Clidlt tsilu dlbbIu Dbtu ~
strike him, but he again knocked her
down, and kicked her time or two
when down. Parties interfered, and
the woman took herself off, those vino
witnessed it approving the drubbing
she got. The collection Of the crowd OF
negroes was on account of a different
affair altogether. a charge OF unfair
distribution Of the TatiOns for the des-
titute was brought against the agent Of
the Bureau at that place by negro
school teacher, and large crowd OF
negroes collected in the village to wit
ness the examination before a justices
court
We are not informed Of The facts in
the case, and cannot give any intorma-
ZION as TO the truth or ialsity Of the
charge. 1t is best always to receive
with caution the first reports OF any
thing.-Hult8UUe Independent, Nay 9th.

MIR. AND MRS. JEFF. DAVIS.
Mrs. Davis the Guest of DIR. Cooper.
The Conditions of her Visit to Mr.
Davis.


Fortress MONROE, May 4, 1866 Mrs
jeff. Davis has taken up her quarters
inside the fort She remained there
last night, having previously cent for
her baggage ana man servant Doctor
Cooper, post surgeon, and, 10y virtue Of
such position. the medical attendant Of
Mr.. Davis, has given her apartments in
the house occupied by himself and
family. The Doctor, it will be remem-
bered, is not only the medical adviser
of Mr.. Davis, but also furnishes him his
meals from his own table. Although
entertaining no shadow of sympathy
for Mr. Davis, as head and front OF the
late rebellion, he naturally feels deep
professional interest in him; and, In
the discharge of his professional duty,
has been unialtenngly Jealous and
faithful; and to his admirable skill
and watchful care there can be no
doubt that Mr.. Davis is immeasurably
indebted for what Of health and vitality
still remain to him Holding such re-
lations 10 Mr.. Davis furnishes all the
explanation that need be given Of his
receiving Mrs. Davis as guest IN ms
family. As for Mrs. Davis, she may con,
graduate herself that she has fallen
INTO such hospitable and considerable
hands.
CONDITIONS OF MRS DAVIS vIsIE
As stated il my letter OF yesterday,
Mrs Davis obtained permission to visit
her husband direct from President
Johnson. But the permission was
given under certain restrictions, though
with a hberality of indulgence that
greatly surprises very many here The
restrictions are that she is not TO use
any influence or contribute any aid to
the rescue of Mr. Davis or his release |
otherwise than through the proper |
government channels. The indulgence
granted her admits her 20 uurestTained |
interviews with her husband, and at all |
hours of the day between reveille and |
sunset 1t is not enjoined that an Of |
icer shall be in the room with them,
neither il il forbidden In the absence |
of such Injunction, Gen. Miles to-day |
allowed her 10 visit her husband unat- |
iead,d by an officer 4 sentinel, how
ever walks back and forth continually |
IN front OF the barred windows of his
room Last and not least, 10 limit is
placed upon the length of her visit
The TINE NRs DAVIS PROPOSES To REMAIN
In answer to question how long she
to make her visit, Mrs Davis
said emphaGcally, 81 intend 10 remain
until Nr. Davis is ordered away for
trial, or he is released from prison or
dies And she is a woman OF that de-
,ision and spirit that she will do what
she says, unless some intermediate in
-eTdicli5a occurs 10 prevent j. She
evidently has no such fears, and it is
she knows too well the tenure
IF her scjourn, to allow herself to en-
.ertain any suck apprehensions

iastic, particularly when their strongest

The United States Court in New Or
leans.

From tn, Washington Republican.
We noticed in Saturdays edition that The
President had sustained in louisiana the
laws of the United States as represented and
expounded by the United States Court pre-
sided over by Judge Durell, and had direct
ed General CanOy, the commander of the
department, to obey the mandates of the
Jodri, and not in future TO interfere in its
proceeding. Judge Durell had closed his
Court, emu martisl law alone relgned in New
Orleans city where since May, 1862, all
has been order, peace and allegiance to the
United States. Whilst c1ngratulating the
citIz ms of Louisiana on this triumph OF civil
rights and law as represented by the recon-
struction policy Of tue Presid, Mt, we quote
below a synopsis of Judge DurelPs address
from the bench, on the occasion referred TO.

AS this subject is one Of great interest,
we will here present our readers with almost
the exact words of Judge Dutell

A Condition Precedent.

The New York Commercial AdYerti-
ser (radical) concludes an article on
the subject Of erecting East Tennessee
into a separate State, with the follow
ing remark: "The North will make but
one request of East Tennesseans as a
condition Of their being admitted into
the Union as a State, and that is pro
viso in the new Constitution stipulating
that ParSon Bro10nloa0S voice sFaH neyer
be heard IN Congress in an official capacity.
We can conceive Of no greater national
calamity than the presence in the Sen
ate at the same time of Garrett Davis
and The Parson.
Messrs. Rogers, Temple IL Co, must
bear this condition in mind. The par
son can be provided for in some other
way. Make him Governor for life; or

Tennessee.
