Interview Of Mrs. Davis With her Ilusa
band
Our Old Point correspondent Of

4, says:
1t is now understood that Mrs. Davis.
with her little child, had an interview
with her husband, atshalf.past s o'clock,
Yesterday morning. The interview last
ed nearly two hours, and must SURELY
have been extremely gratifying to both.
In the course of a twelvemonth, MANY
very noticeable changes occur 1t was
on the evening of the Goth of April,
1865, that the steamer William p.
Clyde, from which a few hours before
Jefferson Davis had baen landed, slowly
set sail, and while the steam and smoke
issued from her engine and boilers she
moved slowly out OF the harbor. The
sole passengers on the Glide were Mrs.
Davis and Clay, and her destination was
Savannah, the Southern port from which
she came
For nearly year Mrs. Davis has
been refused She privilege of visiting
her husband. The result OF the many
entreaties on her part, and those of her
friends, has at last prevailed on the
clemency Of President johnson, and the
desired boon has been finally granted.
Yonr correspondent presumed ycster
day morning, at an early hour, so much
as to call on Mrs. Davis, as she was
awaiting in the sitting. room of the Hy.
geia Hotel the presence of an officer
from the fortress. Sending IN my card
by the colored waiter lnY attendance, the
desired object was at once accedei to.

never, by any means, been noted for it's
comfort or the extensiveness of its
adornments. Entering the room and
passing through the requisite etiquette
occupied but a few seconds, and the
agreeable conversation with Mrs. Davis
which ensued was far more than re.
compcnse for the courage which it re.
quired to solicit such an Interview. The
manner and conversationo of Mrs Davis
was that Of one perfectly at home on all
subjects, and extremely lady.like in all
her remarks on the vario q topics of the
day which perchance were brought up.
She had been allowed the privilege Of
correspondence with, her husband, but of
the exact state'of his. health she sdared
not hope. The favorable opinions form.
ed from the occasional correspondents of
Northern papers were often dissipated
by assertions perfectly contradictory,
and in the long time which has elapsed
since she has seen her husband it has
often been mere matter of doubt, ow.
ing to the reticence of Mr. Davis in
speaking Of the subject of his general
health. Of the terms of her visit she
was not aware, but hoped it would be
her privilege to remain at this place
until her husbands fate was decided
After conversing for thS space Of ten
minutes, your correspondent retired,
much impressed with the interview.
Mrs. Davis was accompanied by a
large quantity of baggage. All of this
was moved inside the fort last night.

TIE ENaLIsH REFoRM BILL We are al
length supplied with some of the details Of
the English reform bill, as explained by Mr..
Gladstone in a speech in the House OF Com.
mons on the 18th inst. The main features
are reduction of the qualifications Of coun.
ty voters from fifty pounds to fourteen poundi
occupancy, and for boroughs to seven pounds
rental, and to dodgers paying ten pounds oil
upwards for apartments. The measure adds
about 40, 900 to the number of voters.
The total number of voters in England,
Wales, and Scotland amounting in 1864 ia
l, 1873, 1854, the new bill (Which will not affect
Ireland) will increase the aggregate number
of voters in this part of the kingdom to about
l, 500, 900 voters in total population oil
20, 900, 900. The bill deals only with the fran,
chise leaving the redistribution of repre-
sentation for another session.
Mr.. Bright is said to have expressed salts,
faction with the measure, and the liberal
journals generally approve, although il
scarcely comes up to their wishes, and Its
chances continue the subject Of discussion.
The conservative journals demand its rejec'
ton. Others call for amendments.
The Daily Telegraph declares that 1t IL
growing quite clear that the bill will become
a law. The real crisis of the measure was
