THE New York Eoening Post says, in regard
to the denomination of Western members of
Congress, that the Republican party is Sc
lecting new and moderate men as its candl-
dates, and discarding the present Representa-
tives, because of their radical course. 1t urges
upon the Eastern and Middle States like
course. We do not know where the Post gets
its information. II may have secret means of
communication unknown to us. But we can
testify that by the Associated Press dispatches,
that With some six exceptions all the men,
bers of the present Congress, on the radical
side, have been renominated in the Western
States. OF the half-a-dozen exceptions four
have declined to run, desiring to retire from
public life. .

General Baird justified.

THE publication in full OF the official
dispatches concerning the New Orleans riot,
ought to disabuse the public mind of any
misconceptions heretofore entertained con-
cerning the course of General BAIRD on that
terrible occasion. That he had no sympathy
whatever with the Rebe Mayor and his muir
derous police is evident from his manly and
unanswerable letter to MONROE, concerning
the proposed breaking up of the Convention,
written several days previous to the riot.
That he did not interfere sooner after the riot
had broken out, or in season to have pre-
vented it altopether, must be attributed to
the fact that he was thoroughly hampered by
his orders. He had telegraphed explicitly,
on the 29th, for directions as to the course he
should pursue, but no reply was made. On
the contrary, on the very morning OF the riot
he was virtually placed under the command
of the Rebel authorities. With his hands
thus tied, our only wonder is that he felt
authorized to go as far as he did in suppress
ing the riot and placing the city under mar
tial law.

CAPTURE OF LINCoLNs MURDERERs
Letter from Host ON Corbett to LIeUitena nj

Letter from Egost on Curbctt to I.ieuitenant
~. n. Ooherty.
No. 81 ATTORNEY STREET, NEW YoRK, August 6:
--God Glees you. NV dear cir; the slandeT ana
lie that was told BY Mr.. Hotchkiss. in Congress,
about you, makes me love you more than
ever. And 1 do not believe that such a wicked
lie and such malicious elander will be allowed
to go altogether unpunished, or to have the
effect on the public mind that was intended.
1 DO not doubt, though, that 1t did have tne
effect desired in Congress; and do truly pc
heve that 1t was told and used there for tne
express purpose OF getting the largest share OF
the reward for the detectives and getting the
military into DISGRACE, and consequently the
small apport;onment that was made to uS l. do
without hesitation pronounce the assertion tnat
you was under shed, and that the detecuve
could not force you out. to be wicked lie. For
| well know that you not only commanded the
party, but that you commandedit well; ana at
the time that the house ana barn of MIR. Garrett
was surrounded, 1t WAS done by your orders;
and that you took the leading part in ali that
was done there, as also in the whole expedition.
i en- aw are, also, that you placed me next IN
command 10 yourself before leaving Washing
ton, giving me- charge az acting orderly sergeant,
and had you been killed l should myself have
been in command of the party, and not the de-
tective. | am also aware of the TACT that when
you got track OF the assassins, you had TO send
men after the detective (Conger), who was
off in another direction at the time. The
injury that has been done us by giving us
small share, instead OF the principal share
OF the rewards. cannot now be remedied, since
it has passed Congress in that way. But be
assured dear sir, that stand ready to give q
certificate az any time, properly attested 1t
needs be, that have ever known YOU TO be
brave and efficient officer, and never in my life
saw any act on your part that Indicated
coNo1dice in the least degree. 1 always liked
to 60 on 8 scout with you, because | knew you
TO 60 forward in the work, and a true officer
and soldier, having the welfare of the men
under your command always in view. and losing
no opportunity of doing good service for your
country. With kindest regards and earnest
PRAYERS for your welfare, and that you may
outlive all such wicked ISLANDERS, l remain, as
ever, Boston CoRBETT.

Jefferson DAVIS First Marriage-A Mis-
representation Corrected.


From the Nashville Banner of Peace.
BRoTHER PROVINCE In she Banner Of Peace
of the eth instant, | find statement respecting
the first marriage of Jefferson Davis that j.
wholly untrue and should be corrected.
Il is true that the first wife Of jefferson Davis
was a daughter Of ex-President Taylor, and that
the father was opposed to the match, but the
parties did not adopt the plan which appears in
the Banner to consnmmate the marriage. The
following the facts:
Tie father. for reasons that no doubt seemed
proper, would not suffer the marriage to take
place in his house, but permitted his daughter to
go to his brothers, residing in Louisville, with
the full understanding, between father and child,
that the union might be formed there. Mr., Da-
Wis did not even accompany Miss Taylor in the
Journey but met her at her uacle's where the
marriage. with the consent of the father, was
celebrated. But, alas a few days alterward,
the melancholy news reached Prairie du Chem
that the daughter was dead, which produced
great distress in tue family, and spread gloom
over Fort Crawford, and throughout the com
munity, for Knox a most lovely girl.
/, at this time, resided near Fort Crawford,
and business transactions often threw Colonel
Taylor and myself together, and / frequently
visited his family. Indeed, General Dick Tay lor
and sister, afterward Mrs. Bliss, obtained the
rudiments of their education from me /: so that
know tho foregoing statement to be true.
high regard for the memory of General Tay-
lor and family has induced me to correct the
falsehood that has been circulating for some
time in the secular prints respecting the marriage
of his daughter. She was too amable TO let
herself down with rope from the window of
herfather's house, under cover of the night, and
run off with Mr.. Davis in an Indian canoe. As
already stated, Mr.. Davis did not even accom-
pany her TO Louisville. sr.r
III ever heard the objections of General Tay-
lor to Mr.. Davis, they have escaped my memory.
1t is understood, however, that Mr.. Davis be-
came quite favorite with the general in the
Mexican war.
You do not tell Us where you found the fab
ricated story that calls forth this correction.
presume, however, it was in some secular paper
whose editor loved TO deal in the marvellous"
There is strange propensity in many persons
which prompts desire to tell something won
derful respecting those who have become motor
ious Travellers on steamboats,, while passing
Fort Crawford, often point their friends to the
house in which Mr.. Davis was married, seeming
to know ali about the case.

Thomas j. Turner (who has resigned the

says:
We regret that the gallant colonel, who has n
dersd good service to the Union at home

garded upright and conscientious man in all
his professions should have abandoned the repub-
organization, and gone Off after strange gods
with the adherents of the president.
We haven't the least doubt that you regret
his loss, as well as that of thousands of other
republicans in Illinois, who voted TOR Andy
johnson, and who are hot going to desert
him, but who will stand by and sustain the
man they elected. The republican organi-
cation" has abandoned" itself, and gone af-
ter the strange gods" of disunion. Colonel
