J. P. Benjamin, ex-United States Sena-
tor from Louisiana, and ex-Secretary OF
State of the Confederate States, is meeting
with great success as an advocate in the
English Courts. In regard to a very able
argument in an important case in which
MI Benjamin was employed, the Lord
Chief Baton complimented him very high
ly, and the editor of the New Orleans Times
says: GA compliment from a Lord Chief
Baron of the Court of Exchequer, and es-
pecially from one so distinguished as Sir
Fitzroy Kelley, is a rare, and therefore
high tribute to lawyer. It will be source
of qualification to the members of our bar
who were contemporaries of Mr.. Benjamin,
to hear of his great and unprecedented sue
cess in his entirely new sphere, under such
severe tests, and against such powerful
! rivalry"

Pardon of Jefferson Davis.

The Rev Mr.. Bagley, formerly mission
airy to Japan and India is said to have paid
a visit few days ago to Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, at Fotress Monroe, for the purpose
OF inducing him to ask the President for a
pardon. The letter stating this fact adds
MIR. Bagley believed that if regular ap-
plication should be made by Mr.. Davis, he
could support it with a petition presenting
such an array of influential names, q large
proportion of them from the radical reppb-
lican party, that the movement would be
as successful as that made by him in the
case Of Governor Vance, of North Carroll
na. Mr.. Davis, however, declined accept
ing the proposition. He said to ask for
such an application would prejudice his
case at the trial, which he was given to un-
derstand was close at hand. Mr.. Bagley,
nothing daunted with the i'll success he
met with at Fortress Monroe, went to
Washington and called on the President to
ascertain whether pardon could be grant
ed to Jefferson Davis without an application
if petitions were presented of a satisfactO-
ry character. 1t is understood that Mr.
Ragley was equally unsuccessful at the
White House. In the exercise Of the par
doning power, the President has been guild
ed by an infexible rule-never to grant a
pardon on petitions, unless such petitions
were accompanied by an application from
the individual seeking the executive elem
ency. The Attorney Generals office has
now on file huge budget of fpetitions, sign
ed by hundreds of people, North and South,
praying for the release and pardon of JEFF
ferson Davis, all of which are of no avail,
owing to the before mentioned rule.

A grumbling correspondent, evidently
an old bachelor, complains about the large

which ladies wear on their dresses and says
some carry as many as fifteen head of oxen,
while others move around with a large stud
of horses. He suggests that by making
these buttons plain, concave and detacha-
