They have tackled special clause on

this is n shameless and infamous viola
tion of law.

Mr.. DAVIS We published, says the N.
O. Crescent, q paragraph recently in regard
to Mr.. Davis and his pecuniary condition,
which has called out the following letter.
The Baltimore Gazette youches for the high
character of its author:
If Gen. Miles received remittances for
Mr.. Davis to the amount Of $25 900, Us re-
ported, the fact was concealed from Mr..
Davis. 1t is not true that all restrictions
upon Mr.. Dayiss correspondence have been
removed.
Letters addressed to him are still sent to
the commanding officer, and as they reach
AIR. Davis consist Of applications for au-
photography and northern letters Of low
lnalignity. The only pecuniary evidences
are notes, purporting to be issues OF the
Confederate government, but generally, If
not always, counterfeits Of the style adyer-
tlsed tor sale in Philadelphia some years
since.
About Christmas some friends ia Mary
land and Virginia did send boxes Of pro-
visions as presents appropriate to the season
= say three or four boxes. There was also
froGl Boston box Of books, sent by one
whose kind nature reyolted at the barbsritY
towards aprisoner so constantly witnessed
by one residing there.
Our noble and generous people have from
time to time, out of the scanty means left
to them by the incendiary, pluadering
armies Of the North, sent to Mr.. Dayis's
wife and children means Of support. Some
times little children offer assistance to the
little children ofthe imprisoned father,
Had the usages Of civil war been obser-
we'd, Mr.. Daviss private property would
have sufticed them, or had he been permit
ted to labor for their support be would have
rendered such aid unnecessary; but The
people act upon the knowledge that he was
robbed ofeyerything, including his books,
furniture, diplomas, commissions, testi-
even a large part Of his wearing
apparel, aye, and that Of his wife and Little
children, whose trunks were pillaged on the
ship where, after taking him and their ser
sants from them, they were still kept
prisoners. The mendacious newsman, writ
ng for such as himself, desires to make
because Mr.. Davis is no longer
Uttered and guarded in cell.

the following letter to WIN. K. Graffenreid,

UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
Washington, March 12.1S67

iii.u oihlEo OENAfE CHAMBER, I
Washington, March II, 1867. {
Dear Sir-Your letter of the sth inst,
is received. The bill you referred to was
passed in the earnest hope that it would
tend to the full restoration of all the States
to all their rights in the Union. The sixth
section think too harsh, but it was put in
the House as the result of opposition from
both extremes. At the request Of large
numbers from the South, we are passing a
supplementary act to provide machinery of
reconstruction. The original bill left all
TINS to each State, but there was danger
OF double organizations and conventions,
and therefore, to avoid further strife OF
difference, this new act will be passed. 1t
is merely sca1olding.
My earnest conviction is, that the South
should not forego this opportunity to be
restored to representation; and you may
rely upon it, that majority in both Houses
will adhere to this offer, and execute it in
good faith, and to the letter, ifyour people
will do likewise. Neither section can be
while the present condition Of
military surveillance prevails.
You can do as you please with this.
Very truly yours, JOIN SHERMAN.
