Tribute to jefferson Davis.

When the smoke and dust of this conflict shall
clear away and the record of the great asslze OF
history be made up, and the sentence pronounced
on this most stupendOus struggle Tor nationality,
there will stand forth figure 50 sublime as that
of this gallant soldier brilliant orator, sagac1ous
statesman, and christian gentleman, berett OF
every earthly possession, shut out from all con-
verse with the human family, guarded by mutes,
tailored by a tyrant accused by assassins, trem-
bling with paralysis blind, manacled, tortured
with an ingenious cruelty, which denied him
sleep, with brutal mob OF millions clamOring
for his blood, yet calm, defiant and undaunted,
asking no favor of the best, and no guard against
the worst, save a pubic trial in courts of his
foes
Life has been allotted to him well nigh to the
verge of his three score years. Honors have
poured on him for more than bali his life, hlllDg
full the measure of American fame. I ct were
his life to rival the ages of the patrlarchs and his
bonors to double the gories of the lllustrlous
son OF David, the bright particular year OF his
history would be that in which chained captive,
the last victim of lost cause, he raised his voice
in perpetual claim for no favor OF twenty million
of enemies, but justice.
A feeble tongue, it may be, that makes the ap-
peal but the cry pierces the triple iron OF his
dungeon pierces the massive wallis OF MS Bastlle,
browns the multitudinOus roar of the nelghbor-
ing sea- rises above the victorious nations paeans,
and fallen nations will, and will go sounding
down the ages" to assure the world that the
virtue men call Roman, aud the courage they
call Spartan, died neither on the Tlber nor the
Euphrates.

OUR MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
From WashingfO n-ParGons by the Presi-
dent-The Mississippi Delegation in the
Case of MIR. Davis.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov 14-P M.
Within the last few days, the President has di-
rected pardons to be issued to the following NAM
ed persons, one of which sought pardon under the
first exception of the amnesty proclamation, hay
ing held petty office under the late Confederacy.
The remainder applied under the twenty thousand
dollar cause: Willis Benham, Ca; William A.
Pegraw, Louisiana; d. H. Reynolds, Arkansas; J..
D. Eppes, mississippi; W. A. Henderson, William
Jones and John M. Brown, Tennessee.
Messrs. Hillyer and Lowry called upon the Pre-
sident to-day, by appointment, having previously
sent to him the resolutions of the Mississippi Le-
gislature in relation to Jefferson Davis. They al
so presented an accompanying letter from Gov.
Humphrey based on the idea that there will be no
trial, but he says while they do not seek to
him from this, they believe that his Imprisonment
is not necessary to secure his presence when de-
sired for trial, and only be attended with IA
tai results to his health; and that the ends of JUS
tice will be reached by admitting him to bail or
parole The President gave them courteous re-
ception, and promised to take the subject into
consideration.

Ibe no barrier to q corrupt Congress in car
frying out4their purpose, as We know, by the
sad experience of the present Congress in
disreg afddg and tramp1ing on the Federal
Constitution
The fifth section of the proposed amend
ment declares that " Congress shall have
power to enforce, by appropriate legisla-
ton, the provisions of this article" Here
we have power given Congress to destroy
all the rights of the States, ard centralize
all power in the National Government
Under the pretext that a State has abridged
the privileges or immunities of citizen by
refusing suffrage to the negroes, Congress
may, under this section, declare universal
suffrage to that class Of persons Under
the preteXt that some one has been de-
prived by State Courts of his liberty or
property, they may give the United States
Courts entire jurisdiction of all litigation
in the State The Legislative, executive
and Judiciary departments of the State
Governments may, under this section, be
entirely swallowed up by Congress, and the
American Union made one grand CONSOLE
dated empire.
The proposed amendment was not sub
mitted to the President for his approval,
as required by the Constitution, before be-
ing submitted to the State Legislatures,
and they should not, therefore, consider or
regard it at all as a proposed constitutional
amendment for their adoption. Eleven
States were excluded from Congress when
it passed, and the President never sane
toned it.
But feel we'll assured that Congress did
not expect or wish the ratification OF this
amendment by the States The people
were to be made to believe that Congress
intended to reconstruct the Union This
f,,lN 10, tl,n L. 10
a1nuse them till the fall elections were over.
Congress does not intend to have the States
reconstructed till after the Presidential
election in 1868. The Southern States are
to be kept out of the Union till after that
period, in order to insure the radical tri-
umph.
The object of the Radical leaders is to per-
petuate the power of their party. This they
| think they can do by negro suffrage, and 10y
that alone. But they were afraid to put
that plank in their platform at present. 1t
will be inserted two years hence. When
Stewart proposed universal Suffrage and
universal amnesty, the leadsrs of the Radi-
cal party expressed their willingness to
adopt it. They were willing to forego the
pleasure of hanging rebels and excluding
Southern members, if this could be accom-
| plished.
have thus, my dear sir, given you my
views in reference to the constitutional
amendment. Let me conclude 10y assuring
you that as feeble as South Carolina may
be, and as "powerless as you say she is
g to protect herself" she is, nevertheless,
able to maintain, amidst all her expressions,
her honor unsullied, and will never, volun-
tarily, accept her own degradation.
| am, with great respect, yours, &C.,
B. f. PERRY.

lance of tbs struggle through which the country
is passing. and of the necessity of preserving the
results gained by its triumphs III the field, and
more recently at tue polls, the undersigned, a
Union Of Washington, d. c., do in their name
earnestly invite their comrades, the loyal veterans
of the Republic, with all other friends of the great
cause Of Union and liberty, to meet III a national
mass welcome and council to be held in this, the
Federal capital, on Saturday, december the LIST,

ssWe ask your presence to honor and assure
protection to the loyal majority in the Thirty
ninth Congress, in whom recognize faithful
guardians of our assailed institutions and able
supporters of the principles involved.

how sternly loyalty rebuke treason. PrOUe
thereby that the threats and insults Of O. t'edcheOus
Erec,ire against the legsldtire branch Of the Co..
er7neent cannot intintiddte free people. Here IN
the Federal Capital must oar great struggle cuLnt-

The National HateAigencer of Saturday
says: eve are panied and shocked to an

SO formation, that the above call looks to the

g organized force, to be subject to the Or
"ders of Congress. What they may be,
and what disastrous calamities impend
g over our beloved country, Heaven only
knows. But the ferOcious counsels OF
s. Butler, Wade and Forney may be carried
tout by the sword, smoking with bloody
" executions.
The following is the conclusion of anoth-
er card, which also appears in the Chronicle,
and the signers to which we take to be ne
groes. 1t is doubtless a part of the plan
shadow ed forth in the above CALL
&C We intend to go earnestly and actively to
work with the view to demonstrate that zee k1tO1C

1t is our purpose to give this labor organized

the coored citizens of the District at early date.
Eminent speakers will be invited to address the
