The COSTUME IN WHICH DAVIS WAS

The COSTUME IN WHICH DAVIS WAS
ARREsTED.-The Chicago Republican,
edited by Charles a. Dana, who was Assis-
tant Secretary of War at the time JEFF.
Davis was captured. says of the toggery
worn by the rebel chieftan upon that
memorable occasion:
"When caught he was entirely enveloped
in large aud ample aqua scntum CLOAK,
belonging to his wife, which fell to his
heels, and was buttonec up to his neck in
front, having its hood spread over his soft
felt hat 80 as altogether to conceal his
face. In external appearance this disguise
made him seem to be o woman, and that
1t was assumed in the hope that he might
thus escape, there can oe no question:
The garment captured with him is safe,
and will, we presume, be produced when
ever necessary to prove the circumstances
of his capture"

the. debates of the Opposition there is
nothing constitutional bat slavery aud
rebellion, nothing so unconstitutional as
coercion and emancipation. Judging from
these debates, the Constitution was espe-
cially framed to repress liberty, punish
fidelity to the Union, shield oppression,
and honor treachery and great crime
These war measures are all constitutional
now. Great light is thrown upon the
Constitution by the surrender of Lee. The
gleam of successful bayonets illumines the
dark understanding of pro-slavery quib-
blers. But alas the light of success
shines only on the past. All the future
is still unconstitutional. The "unconsti-
tutional, disunioD, abolition war" is rem.
dered constitutional by the victory of our
soldiers, but the effort to secure to the
country the fruits of that victory by ap-
propriate legislation is as unconstitutional
as ever.
Here close my defense Of the Repub-
lican policy of restoration. Shall that
policy be adopted Not by this Con-
gress, it is said, because enough conserva-
tive Republicans will unite with the
Opposition to defeat it. Then, by falsely
charging upon the Union party non-action
and lack of purpose, it is hoped that q
congress can DC eiec'eu next 1all which
will repeal the test oath and admit the
rebel States without guarantees or condi-
tons Of any kind, and with arepresenta-
ton always excessive and now enlarged by
emancipation. Wlnout the eniargemene

aa exaetness, bnt ~near easoaah for
argument and inference. You viii
allow me to say that while L do NOT
rejoice in the present, Iana not des-
pondent of the future. The egtinmte
is this: q
The crop OF 1860 was 4, 500, 600
bales; the number Of laborers vas
1,00O, 600 black, $50, 600 white. thus
making mn average OF 3as bales per
I dispose of the black labor thus:
OF the army, dead and alive, 16O, 600;
dead by destitution and disease,
150, 600; left field work, zoe, 900;
black faborers now at work iu' the
cotton States, SOC, 900. These, under
the old regime, by the average above,
ought to make 1 1916, 900 bales.
They viii not make so much for
these reasons: Under the old s.egime
they We're in the field 64 hours Der
week, under the new arrangement
48shours per week. They thus must
do one-fourth less work than formerly.
But they are not worth "a much
while at work, as formerly by one
fifth at least. Thus the possible pro
duction-l,S75 900 bales-muste be
diminished one-fonrth and one fifth,
leaving 1850, 900 as the probable
production of black laborers.
The white labor {25O, ,00O) dispose
of thus: Killed and crippled and in
other employments, 125, 600, leaving
in the cotton field 125, 900. These,
at the above average, make, say
40, 900 bales. Add to this the pro-
duct of black labor, 1000, 600, and
we have total, for 1885, 1,5OO, 600
bales.
Ii any are disposed to question the
accuracy of the hours of labor land
| write what l know I will reduce
the slaves hours to sixty per week,
advance the freedman's to fifty, and
that will make the aggregate
100000. The relative value in the
field have put too low, but we will
let it stand. Many will say it ought
to be reduced one-fourth, instead of
one-fifth
An incidental and important fact
should not be omitted; the rich allu-
vial lands, to large extent. are idle.
The dependence must be on the hill
lands, and the best of these wasted by
the neglect of two or three years.
Take these facts for what they are
worth, and L think they are worth as
much as the unconsidered trifes of
those who are addicted to looking at
the world through gimlet-hole. In
fact, 1 think they are worth as much
as General Sherman's dictum, who,
after visiting Little Rock, Ark, felt
sanguine that 4 large cotton crop
would be made. And Liverpool re-
peats the propA acy, and cotton falls
one farthing! BY such absurdities,
cotton is 6edred down to its present
unworthy price.
