The New York World has made the follow
ing sensible remarks npon the presence of Mr..
Davis in the city of New York:
The faint exhibitions of public interest
which have attended the presence in this city
Of man who so long commanded the atten-
ton of the civilized world, are the bubbles
emitted by the last gasp of drowning influence.
MIR. Davis will now pass, like Mason and Sill
dell, out of public view; and this is the last
occasion on which anything pertaining to him
can be appositely discussed by the newspaper
press before his reputation is delivered over to
the Judgment of history. 1t is probable that
he will again become planter, on reduced
scale, in the State of Mississippi; that the res
idue OF his days will be passed in meditatiye
seclusion; and that humiliation and broken
hopes will tinge his life with chronic sadness,
under which he will ere long sink into the
grave.
We profess the above is very cold treatment
of q particular friend. 1t shuffi4s him off
rather unceremoniously just at the moment
he has obtained sort of freedom. But then
the editor of the World is shrewd and hopes
to cover up the tracks the Democratic party
has made for few years past But, Mr..
World, that thing can't be done. Those tracks
are too deeply indented in American soil, too
plain to ordinary vision, to be easily covered
up from the view of the loyal people OF the
country 1t i, indeed desirable that "Davis
like Mason and Sidell, should pass out of pub
lie view" at least, that is very necessary ior
the success of the Democratic party, and the
New York World knows it. But that party
has lost its prestige and power, and if they are
not restored to it until the rebels are forgotten
we think several generations will have passed
| away before such contamination takes place

The editor OF the Savannah Republican,
who still occupies quarters in the county Jail
for telling the truth in his paper about an ex-
rebel, says that it is not true now that IT Is uh-
safe for persons of radical political sentimehtS
to travel or locate in the South, Whatever
might have been the case eighteen months ago

49, which the Tories tried to prevent until
satisted that further opposition would only
nroyoke violence, is thus narrated by special
correspondent of the Tribune:
One of the finest episodes OF the debate last
NIGHT May 81 was brief and manly speech
from Thomas Hughes, who, although he has
subscribed to and helped the Reform League,
of which he is Vice President, did not ap-
proye of their resolution to hold their meeting
In HYDE Park. He explained his position
briefly and frankly. In response to the hold
ing up of his name by Sir Charles Russell, no
said with great effect: Il have been urseu ,'o "

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsrEEx 4 Co. are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thule Of
instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting TO mako mn,

to admit that the limit of Improvement can ever h,

Before they had brought their Pianos to their Dra-
sent excellence, they had submitted them to CONNIE
tition with instruments of the best makers of thi
country and Europe and received the reward of me-
IL over all others, at the celebrsted Worlds Fair l.
Is soutjustce to say that tt udgmentthus pronor,od
has not been oyerruled by the musical world.
Still, by the Improvements lately applied bv them
to their Pianos II Is admitted that more perfect in
strument has been made, They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely after this they are entitled 70

views expressed are 50 sound and logical
that there can hardly be found any differ
ence of opinion among cur citizens as to
their propriety; Yet 4 majority of the Sen
ate passed the bill over the veto, and then
most inconsistentIy entertained a bill re-
peaiing one Of the leading objections. In
the House, an attempt was made 70 call

was reported, meeting the objections Of
the Governor in the main, passed, senJt to
