his absence, has published what purports to

Mississippi, to some unknown person. This
letter tall Of which may be a forgery is at.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis and family, a. we are
informed by telegraph and mail have left for
Europe. As it has been stated that he has
gone there for the purpose of engaging in
business it may be proper for US to state
that while he goes abroad mainly for his
health, and for that recreation which his
most eventfu life for the past seven years
especially makes Eeedful to him, be has
been likewise induced to 20 to England upon
the invitation Of an eminent commercial
firm, which desire him to become partner
in its business.
1t is very possible that Mr.. Davis, who
has been deprived by the events of the war
Of any means Of support, will accept this
very generous offer but we believe we may
assure our feliow.citizeus of New Orleans,
that unless the other members of this house
shall think it best that he should remain
with them in England, he will make his
home with US, and represent in this country
the interests of the house.--Ncw orleans

SN Louis, Aug. l4.-The Adams EXPRESS
Company was robbed of about $1,000 this
morning. 1t appears that two men rented
an office on the second floor of No. II Sec.

the Express Company received a package
from OdIn, Illinois, addressed as above pur.
porting to contain $l47,4O. This morning
the package was delivered by messenger
who, while waiting for receipt, was seized
by the throat, by man ia the Office, and
another applied chloroform to him.
The messenger struggled violently, and not
yielding readily to the influence of chloro-
form was struch three heavy blows on his
head with an iron bar and knocked down.

sengers pauch of its contents and escaped .
The package was, no doubt bogus one,

messengers name is Isaac Cross. He is
badly hurt, having three ugly wounds on
his head and severe injuries on ane hand.

Adams. he was formerly whig, after.
wards, and until recently a republican, and
WAS soldier, who served faithfully and
creditably in the Union army. He has been,
for some years past, an active republican,
and one of the leaders Of that party in this
part of the state. These facts in connection

attention Of thousands who might not other.

we have no doubt he will, make himself use

II is proposed that the carpet-bag leglsla'
trres elect the presidential electors. lfthey
a.. the fourteenth amendment depriyes their
respective states from representation in con
gress. In its second section that amendment
SAYS Of each state that
when the right to vote at any election for the
choice Of electors for president and vice president
Of the United States, representatives in congress
tho executive and judicial officers Of state, or the
members Of tie legislature thereofis denied TO any
of the male inhabitants ofsuch state, being twenty
one years Of age and citizens the United States
or in any way abridged, except for participation
in rebellion or other crime, the basis Of represen-
tation therein shall be reduced in the proportizn
which the number of such male citizens shall bear
to the whole number Of male citizens twenty one
years Of age in such state"
When the right of voting for presidential
is denied to all the voters of state, then the
basis of representation in such state must be
reduced by the number of all the voters,
which is to say that it is to have no basis Of
representation at all.--N J. World.

The radicals will have it that southern
democrats are anxious for battle at arms ;
but the democrats declare it is only con-
test at the ballot box they contemplate or
desire. The Richmond Examiner SAYS;
"0ur notion is that the people Of the United
States this fall ARE going to use the peaceful rem
edy of the ballot-box to put down the mad rev.
oinuoniss Of radicalism. They are goingto out
vote them. 1t is possible that the radicals NAV
arm and resist the verdict of the ballot-bo1, but
