President Davis.

The Springfield Republican has the
following sensible remarks on Jefferson
Davis condition: lea
Mr.. Greeley is reported to have used
his influence with the President, while at
Washington last week, in connection
with Charles O'Connor and Mr.. Shea,
counsel Of Mr. Davis, to procure the re-
lease Of the nations prisoner; and it IS
said that there is prospect that he will
soon be released on bail or parole. Mr..
Greeley will be blamed by some Of his
friends for his persistent efforts to obtain
the release of Davis, but they are cred
liable both to his head and heart The
President, with all his obstinacy in some
things, has shown great want Of courage
IN this. The detention Of an alleged
criminal without trial for more than a
year and half, is in violation Of the
spirit Of the Constitution and the gene
raj sense of justice, and in this case the
hardship is aggravated by the nature OF
the crime for which Davis was arrested
that of completely in the assassination
of President Lincoln. Guilty as he is,
of conspiracy against the nation life,
that furnishes no excuse for holding him
under accusation Of more cowardly and
monstrous crime, without apparent evil
dence. IL President johnson had been
both Just and brave, he would have re-
leased him long ago.

From Washington.

II is known to persons resident here,
though, perhaps, not to the country gen.
orally, thatJohn d. Surratt had brother
Isaac, who was ia the rebel army during
the war. 1t has come to light that his
brother went to Mexico Immediately
afterthe downfall of Richmond. Nothing
was known of him till October, 1865,
when General Sheridan, then, as now, at
New Orleans, learned that he had APP
peared in Monterey, and crossed into
Texas with the ayowed intention OF
coming TO Washington to assassinate
the President General Steel, in com
mand on the frontier, very soon con-
frmed this intelligence; and Secretary
Stanton thereupon felt justified in placing
the guard about the White House, which
was kept there for some time. NO intl-
nation of the matter was given to the
President, as it was feared that be would
refuse such protection. He finally got
an idea into his head that the guards were
detectives, and called the Secretary to
account 10 violent language. This led
TO explanations, and the consequent
withdrawal OF the guards

ment to the State constitution, to allcw
negroes to vote, aud negro children to

was laid on the table, in the House Of

corrrnRRATE MONEY IN THE sU-
eo"f ~ PREME COURT. r+t.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee, an
exchange informs US, has just made a
decision in regard to Confederate mo-
ney transactions which will settle many
cases now pending in the courts. The
question was this: A clerk Of the court
had received Confederate money in pay
ment Of judgments, and had entered a
satisfaction of the Judgments and execu-
tons on his docket A motion was
made to have the satisfaction set
aside, and for the issuance Of
new executions, The Supreme Court
decided that the transactions will not be
disturbed--and therefore refused to set
aside the satisfaction or to issue new ex'
ecutions. They say that for the repose
Of society, tits best not to disturb trans
actions that have been settled and con-
summated The question whether the
clerk is responsible for receiving Con-
federate money, was not involved in the
case, and therefore was not decided.

The Montgomery Advertiser peril.
nently says: The business men who are
just now lamenting the prostration Of
trade, and whistling for a fair breeze of
active business seem to think their trade
will be bettered by useless inactivity
and general waiting for something TT
turn up" Instead of seeking for Gus
toners, by giving publicity through the
newspapers to the fact that they have
goods for sale, they seem content to plod
along, unwisely preferring slow sales to
the quickened trade which might be com
manded by iudiciously making known
their places Of business, where the peo
pie could be assured Of being supplied
with goods at the market rates. The
remedy, therefore, for dull times, is to
advertise what you have for sale.

years old In his letter he says he made
it his special business to see how our
Government was officially represented
abroad, and found it greatly misrepre
scented, and as patriot he deemed it his
duty to inform the Secretary of State of
the fact. Speaking of Mr.. Motley he
calls him a "Sumner man, who con-
stantly said he owed his position to Sum-
ner, and not johnson, and Endorsed Mr..
Summers politics, Minister Hale, he
says, takes every opportunity to say
Congress is right and the President is

held by Massachusetts Puritans, con.
trolied by such men as Phillips, Butler
