Mr.. DAVIS QUARTERS AND FARE
Bitter complaint is made that the
Government is supporting Mr.. Davis
in style of more than ordinary com
fort. By whose authority these re-
ports are framed and circulated it is
impossible to say, but we can say very
positively that they are not true. The
rooms occupied by Mrs. Davis are
scantily furnished with furniture of
the most ordinary kind, purchased by
herself. Mr.. Davis condition Of
health precludes him from living on
the Government rations offered him.
and he consequently draws none. His
table is supplied by food bought by
himself, and it is of the simplest sort.
AT night he occupies room in Car
roll Hall, or three sides of which are
grated openings, and he is thus COM
PEELED to sleep under the ever-watch-
ing eyes of sentinels. All these tales
about the luxurious accommodations
and fare offered Mr.. Davis are but
repetitions of one of the earliest in
vented stories of the war. When
Fort Lafayette was crammed to re-
pletion with prisoners, most of whom
were living on foul water and half
cooked or half-rotten pork, the New
York journals constantly published
reports to the effect that those suffer
ing men were enjoying all the luxu-
ries of n tirst-class hotel. Faisehood
is never respectable, even if it rise to
the magnitude of bulletin or pro-
clamation. But it was reserved to a
large class of writer's during our late
war to present the world with a sys
tenn of lying which had, atan events,
the questionable merit of being as
new as it was base and low.

Connecticut.

The radical Governor (the Legisla-
ture of that State being in SESSION.
has received a copy of what is called
''The New Radical Platform" which
has been submitted to the Legislature
and already adopted by the Senate.
The Legislature is radical
so-and it is probable the measure
will pass the Lower House.
There is strange inconsistency in
the Legislature of a State whose
people, by an overwhelming vote, re-
jected negro suffrage, in thrusting on
the people of the South measure
which their own citizens could not
stomach. The vote on the measure,
in the Senate of Connecticut, shows
that the party lines are now clearly
defined. The radicals (so-called, PEI,
Sc, are going to act as a separate Q
party, independent Of loyaists, and
even of the original Republicans. So
w ~, AOA III SUCH u movement we
think we see the speedy and fna,
overthrow of the destructives through
out the country.
There are Tor should beg thirty-six
States in the Union; three -fourths of
these-twenty- ty-seven-must ratify the
proposed amendment to make it valid.
There are at least ten Southern States
that will not ratify it, and it is highly
probable that there are some of the
old so-called n-slaveholding States
will reject it; SO that the prospect for
its rejection is very encouraging. In
deed, we never believed the radicals
imagined it would be adopted.
The only development land, per
haps, it was the only object of pass
ing the amendment and report of the
Reconstruction Committee is that
the radicals are determined to define
clearly their position, and on it put
the issue before the country. Our
opinion is, they will be swamped
even by the aid of their former friends
and allies.

CAUSE OF THE War BETWEEN PRus-

CAUSE OF THE WAR BETWEEN PRUs-
sIA AND AUSTRIA. are many
readers who, not having kept up with
the current history of political affairs
in Europe, now that war has actually
begun between Prussia and Austria,
desire to know the exact cause that
has set these two great powers By the
ears. Everybody knows that it is
something about Schleswig and Hol-
stein; but what is it? Here it is:
By the defeat of Denmark, whom
England encouraged to go to war and
then deserted, the two great German
powers became, in 1864, Joint pos
SCISSORS of the Duchies of Schleswig,
Holstein and Lauenburg. Less than
a year afterward, Austria sold her
rights in Lauenburg for $500, 600
thalers, and by the Convention Of
Gastein, it was agreed that the joint
occupation should terminate, that
Austria should take possession of
Holstein and Prussia Of Schleswig.
This was one step in the negotiation
by which Prussia expected ultimately
tobecoue master of both the Duchies;
but beyond this point Austria refused
to go, and rejected every proposition
for the final cession of her rights to
Holstein-a province of little value
to Austria, but of great value to
Prussia, on account of its nearness to
her frontiers and of its seaport, Kiel.
AS the diplomacy of Prussia grew
more and moro urgent, Austria, on
the 1st of June last, handed over the
question to the Federal Diet Of Ger
many. This step Prussia instantly
denounced rs violation of the Con
vention of Gastein, since by that
Convention it had been agreed that
all matters relating to the Duchies
should be settled between Austria
and Prussia Independently of the
Confederation. Prussia, therefore,
declared that Convention Mt an end,
and insisted that, Us consequence,
her right to the joint occupation of
Holstein was revived. She marched
troops into Holstein, and at the last
advlces had crossed the frontiers of
Saxony and was marching on Dres-
den. Benedek, the Austrian COM
mander, will also attempt to seize
dresden, the possession of which will
be most important advantage to
either side obtaining it, RS an army
once established there could not be
dlslodged without long campaign.
just South of Dresden lies the ground
which the wars of Frederick made
famous, and which has since been
reckoned an impregnable position.

Newspaper Discu..ions.

We have no desire to continue the
discussion which the editor of the
South Cm'olinian has deemed it. ne.
cessary to make an important feature
in the conduct of his paper. When
we wrote the first article, noticing q
! very reprehensible practice Of adver-
tising quack medicines at-yes, sri.
diculously" small prices, we did SO as
practice we have always, before
and since the war, denounced as
wrong in Southern journals; and the
sophistry and the shortcomings Of
the Carolinian have not changed our
opinion on the subject.
We now reiterate what we have
said, that the whole system of thus
advertising patent, but worthless,
nostrums is inimical to the best inte-
rests of the community; but it is
very strange that the SomA Cnroliniaa
is the only paper, with which We ex-
change, that considered this intended
rebuke as u personal matter. He has
been itching for some such opportu-
nifty to make his paper famous
notorious-as his violently toned re-
ply to a cotemporary on mild re-
buke on very reprehensible article,
which had appeared in former issue
of the Carolinian, certainly indicates.
We have no taste for such discus
sion as the valiant champion of the ca
7'olimiam invites. Private and personal
matters are not subjects Of newspaper
discussion; we never invited il. nor
will we be drawn into ii by any
evasive whirligigs of the editor of the
Carolinima. The proprietor and the
veteran editor of the Phynir have
discrimination enough to discover
that the game of the conductor of the
Carolinian is shallow bid for the
home advertising patronage, which is
so slow coming to his columns, not
withstanding his assertion that he
charges three times the rates to TO-
reign advertisers he charges domestic
patrons-this sham is fully under
stood.
He may rest assured that we will
rebuke and reprove anything we, in
our humble conception, may think
wrong in the Southern press just at
this time, Notwithstanding his as
sumed censorship. twill not be our
fault if past mistakes of Southern
papers be continued-if the dog
should return to his vomit, or the SOW
return to its wallowing in the mire.
The editor Of the Carolinian may in
dulge in his taste in this way; for
ourselves, We have done with it, as
we have with the Carolinian and all
such discussions as he is anxious to
provoke.

The PRESIDENTS ORGAN on THE
NATIONAL CoNvENTIoN-The Nation
al Repu6lican,..of Thursday, gives the
following excellent reasons why the
proposed National Convention should
be held:
"The reason for calling the Con
vention is to give an opportunity to
every Union man to decide whether
he is for the Constitution or for Con
gressional usurpation; whether he is
for governing this land according to
its laws, or as II nation of conGuerors; :;
whether he is for one whole, united
nation, or for one-third of its States
to be shorn of all their rights, and
one-third of its people degraded into
vassals and subjects; whether he is
for the rule of section and q reign
of political terror, or for tho return
of harmony and fraternity; whether
he is for flag lustrous with glory, or
for one with eleven stars obliterated
or obscured. And when these ques-
tions arc replied to at the polls in
November next, we expect to find the
masses OF the Union men who voted
in 1864 for Abraham Lincoln and
Andrew johnson supporting Prcsi-
dent johnson and the Constitution,
instead of Congress and usurpation.
The voice of patriotism and national
ity which will go up from Independ-
ence Square on the 14th of August
will sound the knen of sectionalism
and radicalism throughout The land"

The women OF our Southland,
Who loved 'the cause" so we'll!
And whose devotion faltered not
Until its banners fell,
Now weave the garland's y rosy bouphs
To deck each humble grave,
Where sleeps soldier OF that cause
He vainly died to save!
The women of our Southland
Though that cause went down in gloom
Their deathless love still fingers
Round those dwelIers OF the tomb
Who sleep the sleep Of heroes,
brave and gallant band,
And gave up all but honor
For their loved and stricken land!
The women of our Southland,
BY mountain vale and void!
Where,er our heroes sleep in death,
Their loving hearts enfold
On many a wel-won field,
BY sons and brothers they had taught
That lesson--ne'er' TO yieid!
The women of our South land!
Let all with one accord,
For them, and for their works or love.
Rise up and bless the Lord
The soldier, on his dying couch.
Amid the throes of pain,
Has blessed the soothing hand and voice
He never sought in VAIN.
The women Of our South land,
In their memorial bands,
Seek to honor the departed
With work of loving hands;
But the ivings not forgotten,
Mid their garlands and their flowers;
For the stricken one. still suffering
Are spent the toll! hours.
The women Of our Southland!
How nobly have they won
The need of praise and blessing
flr r.lll hn1p nal
In the stricken homes OF thousands.
Where the spoilers foot has trod.
Their names in grateful praise and prayer
Uplifted are to God.
The women of our Southland!
Yea, the daughters Of State,
