Guilt of Jen: Davis and Others.

The judiciary Committee of the House
is now holding daily session for the
purpose of examining the records submit
ted to it by the War Department concer-
ming the alleged guilt of Jeff. Da7is,
Sanders, Thompson, Breckenridge and
other Confederate leaders in the assassin
alton conspiracy. These records are Of
the most voluminous character and startling
import. Judge Advocate Holt is present
each day, and vouches for the validity of
the documentary evidence produced, and
explains to TIE committee the circum-
stances under which it was deposed.-
Thus far the testimony has been of the
most variable character, and given by men
of all conditions in life, from those who
assume to have been Wallets in the house
hold Of JEFF. Davis, to wagoners in the
Confederate army Of General Lee. The
great mass of proof thus obtained, abounds
in decided statements eliminating all the
above named personages, beside host of
others, among whom is Mallory, the ex-
rebel Naval Secretary. So decisive is
this testimony considered by a number of
the members of the committee, that at
such time as it may report, minority, at
least, will urge the immediate trial OF
Davis

1t is well at this present political juno
ture, when the probable course of Abra-
ham Lincoln, had he lived, is a matter of
general speculation, to reproduce passage
of his own recorded opinion. In letter
to Maj. Gen. Wadsworth, written while
the battles Of the Wilderness were in pro-
gress, he speaks as follows
"You desire to know, in the event OF
our success in the field, the same being
followed by loyal, cheerful submission
on the part of the South, if universal am
nesty should not be accompanied with
universal suffrage. Now, x if our
success shall be realized, followed by such
desired results, | cannot see, if universal
amnesty is granted, how, under the cir
cumstances, [ can avoid exacting In return
universal suffrage on the basis of intelli-
gence and military service. How to bet
ter the condition of the colored race has
been a study which has attracted my
serious and careful attention. Hence |
think | am clear and decided as to what
course | shall pursue in the premises
regarding it religious duty, as the ma
tons guardian of these people, who have
SO neroically vindicated their manhood on
the battlefield, where, in assisting to save
the life of the Republic, they have dem
onstrated in their blood their right TO
the ballot, which is but the humane pro-
lection of the flag they have so fearlessly
defend ed"

by the House:
"Resolned, That in the name of the

Curtin our thanks for the fidelity with
which, during four years of war, by which
our country was ravaged, and its free in
stitutions threatened, he stood by the Ma

wealth aud the strength of the State.
''ReSolved, That by bis devotion to his
country from the dark hour in which he

support of our people, he has gained for
his name an historical place and character,
and while rendering himself deserving of
the nations gratitude, has added lustre to
the fame and glory, to the name of the

GEN. GRANT ARRESTED. "A Washing
ton dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
gives the following account os the arrest
of General Grant for fast driving in that
city:
Yesterday afternoon, as Lieutenant
General Grant was driving on North
Fourteenth street, two officers attempted
to stop him, as he was going rather faster
than the law allows. They, however, at
first failed, but one being mounted on a
fast horse, after race of about three hun
dred yards overlook the General and in
formed him that it was his duty to place
him under arrest. Gen Grant offered to
pay the officer the fine, but the latter, not
having power to receive fines on the high
way, nformed him that he should report
himself at the station The General ques-
toned The right of the officer to arrest
BIN, and Immediately drove off at full
speed. The facts were yesterday reported
to Superintendent Richards for such ac-
ton as he may seem fit to take. The
General subsequently, reported himself ct
the statiou-house, paid his fine, and was
dischareed-like any other man."

for US to notice in this connection. We
refer TO Hon. Samuel M'Kee, of the ninth
district of Kentucky. Mr.. M'Kee was
born in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, in 1888,
and was brought up as a farmer. He
entered Miami University, Ohio, at the
age OF nineteen years, and graduated at
that institution IN 1857. He studied
law, and commenced the practice of that
profession in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, in
the county where he was born, in 1858.
He was reared Whig in politics, and
remained a member Of that organization
while it existed. When the war broke
out, Mr. M'Kee took strong and firm
stand for the Union cause, and unlike
many other Kentuckians, was a strong
cOcrcionist, and he adhered to this doctrine
when it needed Federal bayonets to enforce
it, He also now, unlike some of his
colleagues, stands up like a man and
pleads the cause of those who have been
and are still oppressed. He entered the
army oc the Union in 1862 as captain in
the 14th kentucky Regiment of volun-
teers, and was taken prisoner March %,
1868, and was confined in Libby prison,
Richmond, until April Sd, 1864, when he
was exchanged. While in prison, he was
set apart for execution by tie Rebel
authorities, in retaliation for the execution
of the spies whom Gen. Burnside shot in
Kentucky; but the Federal authorities
promptly iuterfered, and prevented this
barbaritv Mr. MKee took an active
part in favor OF Mr.. Lincoln's reelection,
and did good service on the stump in his
native State The majority for Mcclellan
in his district in 1864 was some 1900 !;
but when Mr.. M'Kee ran for Congress,
in August, 1866, his majority was 1000
over all. Mr.. M'Kee is quite young
man, and gives unmistakable promise of
usefulness. He has those elements of
character which are so necessary to the
public man in a country like ours and in
an age like the one in which we live
He is sincere, patriotic, intrepid, and
intelligently so. 4e can give a reason
for his faith in humanity, justice, and
right, and is not afraid to ally himself
with the right, though it may be unpopu-
lar in his own State. He does not take
counsel of his fears. but knows his duty,
and dare perform it, regardless of conse-
quences. He apparently wastes no time
in going where duty calls. He is repre-
serted as having done eminent service to
| the Union cause in the late elections in
New Hampshire and Connecticut Some
days ago, he electrified the House by an
explanation, as terse as it was truthful,
sensible and just. He said: "Mr. Speak
er, arise for personal explanation'-
| the House was in a listening attitude at once
I'll have been represented by the associ-
ated press as saying that Kentucky is one
of the most dsloyal States in the Union.
did not say that, but did say, that she
was the most disJQyal State in the Union" 7"
He is bold, fearless, truthful, sanguine,
determined, conscientious, willing to do
his duty-his whole duty-and abide the
consequences. May Kentucky ever be
represented by true and noble men Ike
| him.
