jeff. Davis.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, reports that Jefferson
Davis had been or was to be bailed, and the
names of several gentlemen are mentioned
as to 90 on the bond. He omits to give
these names which are elsewhere stated to
be those of Horace Greeley, Horace Clark,
Augustus Schell and Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Positively no success has attended their eff
forts thus far. Mr.. Chase declined to issue
the writ of habeas corpus and intimated that
he did not consider the offence charged in
the indictment bailable. Attorney General
Speed, on the contrary, is of the opinion that
it is a case of bail. The counsel, at this
iuncture of the affair, are urging Judge I'm
dcrwood to issue the writ, but his decision
has not been given.
Jefferson Davis is held as a prisoner Of
war, and not as a prisoner of State, as many
have supposed. A writ of habeas corpus
if granted, would bring him under the con-
troll of the Court; in other words release
him altogether from present military custo.
dy. In this the government would not in
terfere, as it would then be judicial matter
leaving the Court to determine whether ornot
it would release the prisoner on bail without
any interpositon by or consultation with tho
| President.

COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-The citizens of
Windham County are reminded again Oft the
Convention to be held at Fayetteville on
Tuesday the 10Th. 1t is important that ev-
cry town have its full delegation there, and
if the delegates are not already chosen no
time should be lost in holding meetings and
selecting them. AS the choice of Senators
to congress will be the chief interest of the
next session of the Legislature our citizens
will be careful to select candidates to repre-
sent their wishes in this respect. AS Mr.
Morrill, is our choice we of course shall de-
sire to have men friendly to him selected as
candidates. We have heard it suggested
that Mr. Flagg and Mr.. Barrett will be re-
nominated but as this would vary the usu-
al custom it may not suit the convention.
Should Mr.. Flagg not be taken for the
Marlboro District we have heard Judge
Kellogg mentioned, who, if he would accept
the office. would doubtless be selected as
everyway suitable man. We hope there
will be a full and harmonious convention,
and that the wishes of the county will be
fairly represented.

Our Next Representative.

AS Mr.. Morrill, positively declines a re-
election to the House of Representatives, il
is time for the voters of the District to be
casting about for his successor. In select
ing our candidate we should look at the best
welfare of the District, the State, and the
country. Local interests and personal pref
erences should give place to the general
good. 1t will be difficult, perhaps impossi-
BILE, to find man who can fill Mr.. Morrill's
place. In fact we must not expect ii of a
new man; time will be necessary for his
successor to acquire the influence, the knowl-
edge and the confidence which Mr.. Morrill,
now possesses after many years of toll and
study. We must select the very best man

EQUALITY IN CHURCH.-A New Or
leans letter says One thing is quite observ-
able at the Catholic churches, which Prot
estants might well learn everywhere, that
all persons, rich and poor, black and white,
kneel together in equality. True, there are
pews, and pews sold or rented but these
pews, especially in the old or French part of
the city, are unfortunately rented TO black
and white alike. l noticsd in the old Catho-
lie church of 81. Louis, which confronts you
as you come up the river, some of the pews
nearest the altar are occupied by colored
people, and other > scattered about the churcn,
without any effort to discriminate between
them and the white. The Catholic maxim
is, and catholic one it is truly, that "All
men are equal before God"

are from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New
