RICHMOND, May l3.--As Davis came out
OF the court house and entered the carriage,
after his release, there was loud cheer from
the crowd of negroes outside, and about fifty
OF them gathered around the coach and shook
hands with him. He remained quietly in the
hotel all the evening. He will visit Canada
soon to see his children.
The first name signed to the bail bond,
after that of Jefferson Davis, is Horace Gree.
ley, then Schell, of New York, and Jaekman
of Philadelphia. A little lover down is the
name of John Minor Bolts, of Virginia.
The residents who signed were prominent
citizens of Richmond, merchants and law.

of relief among the citizens and authorities
that Davis is in the city.
1t is stated that the grand jury has indie

Gen. Schofeld has ordered the Lincoln

Under our Geographic head will be found
a report of riot in Mobile. Judge Kelly,
of Philadelphia, most violent, vindictive
and offensive radical, goes before a mass
meeting, in Mobile, insults the people, and
Extensively threatens them with bayonets il
they interrupt him. This threat kindled the
ancient southern fire into a blaze and the
meeting was broken up, instanter, Kelly be
ing taken out of sight by his friends, and
his hotel guarded by the military.
1t is about as much as poor human nature
can bear to be unlawfully governed by the
military-hut when in addition to this, al
offensive man goes before the people, insults
them, and threatens them with bayonets i
they do not quietly submitto his insults, il
is more than they can bear. We are not
justifying mobs or riots-we are speaking o.
facts, as they exist. 1t would have been
wise in Judge Kelly to have refrained from
insulting powerless and down-trodden PEG
pie.
1t should be borne in mind that the tele
graphic account is from radical source and
gives the most favorable view for the radica
side.

Speech is very free in the south under the
operations of the military reconstruction bill
that is, it is free to approve negro suffrage,
it is free to eulogize congress and pronounce
the president reprobate of the most unmiti-
gated sort. Governor jenkins, of Georgia,
and the Richmond Times, some days ago,
were given to understand that they must not
speak in tone importing reflection upon
congress or any of its doings; and now we
have General Wilcox forbidding Fl. Rives
Pollard lecturing on the chivalry of the
south. Very free, indeed, is speech in this
country under the rule of the republican par
ty. 1t was similarly free in France at the
time every body was at liberty to vote as ne
saw proper, but was threatened with shoot
ing if he voted against the Emperor.

Where the Funds Go to.

Wendell Phillips, in writing to the Anti-
.Slare,y Standard, from Alton, H., under
date of April 18th last, complains that no
fitting monument is erected over the grave
of Elijah P. Lovejoy, who was killed at Al
ton Id 1868, by mob. Mr. Phillips should
blame no one but Owen, Z. p. LoveIoy's
brother. He procured large sum of mon
ey for the purpose of erecting magnificent
monument over his brothers grave, but no
monument was ever built and Owen LoveJoy
became rich. This fund went in about the
same manner as Gov. Bross' "knud lverson
five cent" Sunday school money, and General
Prentiss' "soldiers' monumental home fund, "
all for 'expenses," in Michigan Avenue, in
Chicago, in Princeton, Bureau county, Love
Joys home) and Quincy, Illinois. Books are
still opened at these places, where "Subscrip-
tons are respectfully solicited" as living is
high.

1t is curious, to say nothing more, to OBJ
serve with what unaniInity the radical press
have dropped all allusion to the stories OF
southern outrages. We hear nothing now
about "burning schoolhouses, y murdered
freedmen" expelled unionists," and all the
varied catalogue of crimes charged upon the
south with which the columns of the radical
press teemed for months. Kentucky now
seems to be the focus of radical assault
