Health of Mr.. Davis.

of Jefferson Davis as being considerably
emaciated the fatty tissue having almost

Special dispatch to the Republican,
ATLANTA, Ga, May 22.-On Wednes
day night two men went to the house Of
T. M Jones, of Clayton county, and
called him to the door. As be passed
he was fred upon through the door
shutters and instantly killed. The muir
derers escaped without leaving clue by
which they can be possibly identified
Gems. Steedman and Fullerton paid a
visit to the S. c. Conference of the M.
Z. African Church in Savannah, on Sat
urday. Gen. Steedman invited full
and free expression of the sentiments OF
the Conference in reference to the con-
dition of the freedmen, their status and
future prospects. Rev. Mr.. Williams
(colored) responded. He enlarged upon
the disabilities which cling to the race.
He said one great want was protection
upon the highway.
He had paid in his travels upon South
ern railroads as much as white men, yet
was forced to ride in inferior cars, and
listen to the vulgar talk of ignorant white
people. He regarded the Legislature of
Georgia as in advance of the other States
in giving negroes their rights. 1t was his
opinion that the wealthy classes were
more favorable to the rights of negroes
than were the poor whites, though the
latter were, perhaps, cat s-paws TO the
former. The freedmen wanted the right
of trial by jury of their own color; or if
they must be tried by white men, white
people ought to be tried by negro juries;
but he had been told bya member of the
Legislature that the next session OF that
body would amend his rights. He under
took to say that the press of the country
is unfriendly 10 the negro.
General Steedman then addressed the
Conference He said the object of his
mission had nothing to do with politics.
The Government was disposed to protect
those to whom it had given freedom in
the enjoyment of all their rights, and it
was this object that sent him upon his
mission. He said if freedom hat come
fifty years ago it would have been val
ueless boon, because of the prejudices
which had happily been destroyed. He
closed with some good advice, admonish-
ing them that bread and meat was their
first consideration.
Three Of the representatives of the
Church declared in favor of the continu-
ance of the Bureau, and three others tes-
tilted to mslfeasance on the part of the
officers of the same.
Generals Steedman and Fullerton left
for Florida on Sunday.

Tombstone for Little Joseph Davis.

The public will recollect that, not
many months previous to the evacuation
by the Confederate Government of Rich
mond, an interesting little son of Presi-
dent Davis accidentally fell from the
piazza of the residence occupied BY his
father, and was so injured by the fall as
TO die soon afterwards. The little boy
was buried at Hollywood. That no mon.
ument marks his grave is well understood
by all. 1t is pleasant, however, to know
that it will not so remain. The little
boys and girls, many of whom played
and sported with him whose memory
they now propose to perpetuate, have IN
the last few day raised from those of their
own age, by contribution, sum sufficient
to place Over his remains neat and ap-
propriate monument Richmond Wing

summer attack. A Fortress Monroe
letter, upon this subject, says;
II is currently reported that the ques-
tioning as to the state of health of Mr..
DAVIS is likely to start up. other CUES
tons, and call for general submission
of stewardship as to the treatment he
has received during his confinement
here as prisoner Should such render
ing of accounts be called for, it is al
legged that some very unpalatable facts
will be developed, and revelations Of
very unbecoming indulgences in very
small and petty feelings. Much OF this
is doubtless merest talk. The gravest
fault-fnding find at present is with a
recent verbal order forbidding officers
from taking off their hats to DAVIS, or
shaking hands with him. While there
are those who would both approve and
applaud On humbling and contemptuous
course of conduct toward Mr. DAVIS in
his present position as prisoner, there
are those whose natural gentlemanly IN
stincts and lifelong mingling with polite
and refined society would revolt against
such treatment toward almost any pris,,
oner, and particularly one OF Mr.; DAVIS
antecedents, rare culture and the hon.
ored social and political associations OF
his past life. Secretary McCuLLocH did
not think it unbecoming in himself to
remove his hat when introduced to MIR.
DAVIS. and shake him warmly by the
hand at meeting and parting with him.
OF the treatment of Mrs. DAVIS, while
she is on visit to her husband, is thus
referred to by the same letter
1t was not my intention in my present
letter to diverge of into topics discon,,
nected with the health of MI. DAVIS and
the showing how entirely the official re-
port lust made on the subject confirms
what / have all along been writing, but
being in the diverging way l will refer
10 another recent order which is also the
basis of good deal of fault finding This
latter order concerns the treatment OF
Mrs. DAVIS, and likewise involves point
of politeness. After her arrival IT was
customary for an officer TO escort her
back and forth from her own quarters IN
her visits to her husband. This work
has now been deputed to an orderly
and officers whose gallantry might induce
such acts of attention are prohibited
from exercising their polteness in any
such way. Interdicling politeness toward
lady-and Mrs. DAVIS most unques-
tionably is one--is rather startling
novelty in the way of military etiquette.
We have no comments to make upon
military etiquette. We can only say
that the treatment of Mrs. DAVIS BY those
who have the custody of her husband is

CHINESE REBELLION.

The Chinese rebellion has ended, The
rebels sustained an utter overthrow The
last great battle took place in the north
east of the province Of Kwangtung. The
conflict occurred on the 9Th of February,
and lasted two days The entire body OF
rebels, under the lead of the Rang Wang,
numbering some fifty thousand, and
forming the last residuum of the Taep-
ings, were either slaughtered or taken
prisoners. About twenty thousand per
ished in all At last accounts the Impe-
rial commanders had already commenced
the work of disbanding their troops, while
the civil authorities were busy with ar
rangements for dispensing prisoners,
with whom to the number of thirty thou
sand, they found themselves burdened.
The victorious General P'Ao CHAo had
already left for Hankow This success
wipes ont the last trace of the Tapping
rebellion, which has been in progress
several years.

not affect it in the Senate, and it will no

The English Panic.

We have the comments Of the New
York press on the English panic:
The Express says Of the great fnan-
cial panic in Europe The material for
some such explosion had been gradually
accommodating in all the great financial
and commercial centres for some time
past, yet the spark that finally produced
the catastrophe turns out TO have been
a speech from the Emperor Napoleon on
the 9th of May, 10 the workingnen and
farmers Of Auxierre, Of q character to
almost justify the conviction that the re-
cent professions Of neutrality in the i'm
pending German war, professed by NJ.
Rouber, Minister Of State, was not meant
TO be kept
The Commercial says two circumstan-
ces have tended to this result lst The
undue extension given TO joint enterpri-
ses in which large amounts OF capital
have been embarked, to be managed BY
agents, little or not at all interested in
the results Of their operations. The sec
ond cause is the imminent danger Of war
in Europe A war when once commenced

for il is probable that one after another
Of the great European powers Will think
