was made by his counsel for his transfer

able to see what further action can be taken
on the part of the Executive to bring the
prisoner to trial. Mr.. Davis must, for the
present, remain where be is, until the
Court which has jurisdiction to try him
shall be ready to act, or until his custody
is demanded under lawful process of the
Federal Courts. The Attorney General
suggests, that to avoid any misuuderstand.
ing on the subject, an order be issued to
the commaudant of Fortress Monroe, to
surrender the prisoner to civil custody,
whenever demanded by the United States
Marshal, upon process from the Federal
Courts.
Mr.. Stansbury encloses a letter of the
United States District Attorney for Virgin
ia, who states, in answer to the question
why no demand had been made upon the
military authorities for the surrender OF
Jefferson Davis, in order that he might be
tried upon the indictment found against
him in the United States Circuit Court, at
the term held in Norfolk, in May last, that
two reasons had influenced him in not re-
moving him from their custody. He says
the one relates to the safe keeping; the
other to his own personal comfort and health.

necessary to ask this question, after na
tional existence of eighty years under the
Constitution of the United States, one clause
of which declares that "no State shall pas,
any law impairing the obligations of con-
tracts "
Now, every man is bound to support that
Constitution, and every sentence of it. And
every person who may become an officer of
the State or member of the Legislature is
compelled, as necessary qualification be-
fore taking bis seat, to swear that he will
support said Constitution which he cannot
do, and will not do, If be shall pass, or try
to pass, any law impairing the obligation Of
contracts Every law which annus con.
tract or repudiates it, impairs the obligation
of contract, and is, therefore, unconstitu-
al and void Every man who votes for it
commits perjury and lifts his hand against
the majesty and honor of bis country.
Surely, sir, 10 man in our country would,
if be could, so dishonor himselfo or his State,
as to invite all men to break their faith
each with the other, and afix stigma on
the name of North Caralina, which 40 time
may efface. God forbid that my eyes should
ever behold this disgrace upon the "Old
North State" Such a condition would
place her lower than any people of whom
we have any account.

somewhat beyond, but my surprise has been
the cause. am, respectfully, yours,
B. F. MOORE.

and of every State, have declared such leg

merly, may be accounted for in part by the
reason contained in the following brief para,
graph, from the Springfield Republican t:
"The Crew Paper Company, of South
Hadley Falls, have declared yearly divi,
dend of 100 per cent, besides reserving a
fund sufficient to build an addition to their
mill. Last year, the dividend was l20 per
cent"
Surely some capitalists at the South might
be found, who would be content with less
return for their investment than to double
it every year. The Southern States have
water power and all other facilities for the
erection of paper mills, and why do they
not ? There's the rub. Nothing will bring
down these enormous dividends, or the price
of paper, but competition 10 the business.
