Tuesday evening Judge Kelley, while peace
ably addressing the citizens of Mobile, was in
t.zrrnpted by med rioters and driven from,
the platform amid a shower of pistol shots.
Whether his language was discreet or injudi-
cious conciliatory or defiant, has nothing to do
with the case. He had right to discuss ma
tional topics in his own way, wherever the
tional flag flies. The speaker is one and the
hearer is another, and if the party of the sec
ond part is dissatisfied he has perfect right to
go away. A pistol shot is o cowardly reply to
an argument. Mobile was disgraced by the
riot in the eyes OF all right-minded men.
Wednesday afternoon the details of the affair
appeared in the Northern newspapers. Thurs
day morning the Argus suppressins the testi-
nony of the reporter of the New York Herald,
who was an eyewitness of the scene, comment
ed ON the affair as follows: i-e
The bloody tragedy which we believe to be in
store for the South has already commenced at
Mobile. The villainy taught by Judge Kelley
and his followers is being executed; and the
Judge may find visited upon hls own precious
person the hatred with which he has been hll-
ing the Southern heart We foresee massacre
-fiendish massacre of whites and blacks
nlike throughout the South. Most OF the he
groes are AIMED with pistols and long, sharp
Knives and when they are deeply enough i'm
busd with the spirit OF hatred and revenge, as
instilled into their hearts by their radical
teachers, they will strike for murder and
rapine. b.
1t is a sufficient reply to these extraordinary
misrepresentation to say that tho Mayor OF
Mobile invited Judge Kelley to remain and
speak again, offering him the protection of all
good citizens. If the Pennsylvania orator
had been merely an ncendiary, stirring up
evil passions and preparing the way for scenes
of violence, would he have been invited to re-
main in Mobile and continue his work? The
question admits of but one answer, but if any
further doubt were possible it would be remov-
ed by the resolutions adopted at the public
meeting of the citizens of Mobile held Thurs
day evening. Those resolutions fix the stigma
of the unqualified disaprobation" of the as
sembly upon-not Judge Kelley, there is not
a word of censure for hm-but upon the rioters.
The opinion is further expressed that the dis
turbances were unprecedented, and that the
people of Mobile are not disposed to interfere
with any mans freedom ofspeech. Accepting
this statement as sincere on the part of the
better portion of the community, it only re-
mains to be said, that such an assault with
firearms could not have occurred in any North
ern city unless premedtated, and that the mis-
cradle consequences of what the Mobile people
call an accidental excitement" are directly
chargeable to the cowardly practice of carrying
cencealed weapons. The state of society is i'm
proving, we hope, at the South, but there is
still room for amendment in this and other
norticulars

1t is matter of surprise TO many, that Hor-
ace Greeley and other prominent Republicans
of New York and Philadelphia, should take
the trouble to go all the way to Richmond, for
the purpose of giving bail TO Mr.. Davis, and
many questions are asked as to what it can
mean.
Rumor has it that political considerations
led to this singular proceeding, an arrange
ment having been made among leading radi-
Gals to run MIR. Davis for either President or
Vice President, upon the radical ticket, with
the belief that he would be sure to carry the
Southern States and thereby secure the sue
cess of the ticket.

jeff Davis, who has at length spent abou t
two years of his improbable life in Fortress
Monroe, is now at large, under bonds of S1oo,
coo, to appear and answer an indictment for
treason, when wanted so TO do. On Monday
last he was formally delivered to the civil au-
thorities, and bail given. Horace Greeley IS
one of his bondsmen, and by becoming thus IS
he not heaping some very hot Goals ON tne
head of the chief of the great rebellion!

AT length the great majority of the people of
the country will be grattied 10 learn that the
ridiculous and wicked farce of keeping a dis
hnguished gentleman and eminent statesman
in prison for two long years is at an end, and
that jefferson Davis mas been released from his
long and weary confinement.
The Portland daily press., 1867-05-20


The removal of Jefferson Davis from his
quarters at Fortress Monroe, occupied by him
two years, and his transfer to the soil OF "Old
Virginia" excites scarcely ripple in the pub
lie mind. Such change affects the rebel
chief and his intimate friends and relations
more than it appears to anybody else. With
the certainty of his inability to do any more
harm has decreased the public anxiety as to
his fate.
