THE NEW INDICTMENT AGAINST
IEEF DAVIS

A Richmond dispatch has already an
nounced that new Indictment had been
found by the grand jury of the United
States Circuit Court for Virginia against
the Hon. Jefferson Davis. The Richmond
Examiner says:
The Indictment states that in 1861 he
armed and equipped troops for the purpose
Of levying war against the United States;
that he took forcible possession Of the city
of Richmond, and excluded therefrom the
forces Of the United States; that he armed
and equipped military forces for the pur-
pose Of levying war against the United
States in the States Of Virginia, North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri, and
that he gave to the said forces information,
counsel and advice, maliciously and trail
torously TO assist them in levying war
aforesaid. And that at Manassas, on the
Dist Of July, 1861, with a number of per-
sons, amounting to $4,000 or more, armed,
equipped and organized as military forces
with the usual weapons of war, and mali
ciously and traitorously fought against,
killed, wounded and captured officers and
soldiers of the United States army,
and destroyed and captured muni-
tons and materials Of war; the pro-
perty Of the United States; and that he,
with Robert i. Lee, Judah 2. Benjamin,
John C. Breckenridge, VIM. Malone,
Henry A. Wise, John Letcher, VIM. Smith,
Jubal A. Early, James Longstreet, David
III. Hill, Ambrose p. Hill, Gustaye T.
Beauregard, VIM. II. o. Whiting, Edward
Sparrow, Samuel Cooper, Joseph f. John
ston, John B. Gordon, c. +. jackson, and
T. o. Moore, did, maliciously and traitor
ously, cOnspire and levy war against the
United States.
The remainder Of the indictment consists
of a recapitulatiOn of the battles of the
war, the charge that Mr.. Davis appointed
and commissioned persons as officers in the
Confederate army, and concludes az follows:
Chat during the whole Of the said rebel
lion, by reason of resistance TO the execu-
ton Of the laws of the United States, and
the interruption of the ordinary course of
judicial proceedings, process for the COM
mencement Of any action, civil or criminal,
against the said Jefferson Davis, or for his
arrest could not be served and the said
Jefferson Davis could not, by reason of such
resistance of the laws, and such Interrupt
ton Of such judicial proceedings, be ar
rested or served with process for the COM
mencement Of any action, civil or criminal,
within the intent and meaning of the sta
tute Of the United States in such case made
and provided"

A NEW TICKET.
CoIrax and Anna Dickinson.

"Trix,' the Washington correspondent
Of the Chicago Times, has heard the "Re-
jected Stone" Anna Dickinson's lecture,
and suggests the following political stock
iobbing arrangement:
Miss Anna Dickinson, forgot TO men
ton in my last, lectured here on Monday
evening, 10 a large audience The lecture
was on "The Duties of the hour" But
she could not avoid ringing in her old
subject, THE Rejected Stone" which this
time turned out TO be Gen. Grant, and
very rough, uncouth, and unpublished stone
Miss Dickinson made him out to he.
She says she stands for justice; denounces
A. T. Stewart, his purse. his shoddy mo
doubt that intended for petticoats az well
as pantaloons,) his two hundred Vice
Presidents, and the Cooper Institute gath
ering, all in unmeasured terms. Miss ID.
says they are attempting to throw over
board the principles and policy of the
Radical party-hoping, in what will prove
a failure if attsmpted-to march to victory
with the name of soldier on their banner,
and in the smoke Of a cigar; that the par
ty is guilty of the Inconsistency and wick
edness of attempting to force upon the
South negro suffiage, while it gives no
negro the ballot in any Northern State 1t
was amusing to watch the countenances
of the leading Republicans in the audi
ence, who writhed aud squirmed beneath
the hastings of the fair lecturers plain and
biting speech She demanded a bold and
clear enunciation of principles on the part
Of the Republican psrty, and a candidate
who Is known 10 be disciple of those prin-
ciples. She declared her preference for
Mr.. ColiaX. The little Speaker of the
House was present, and looked as shame
faced as a youth about making his fair lady
a formal proposal of marriage. By-the-by,
would not 1t be a good idea for the Little
Robin" and Miss Anna to unite their hearts
and fortunes in matrimony, and their in
telleots and forces generally for grand
Presidential campaign on the basis OF
woman's rights, universal suffrage, and all
that sort of thing? Mr.. Colfax coulG
take the Presidency, and Mrs Colfax the
| Congressional nomination from the South
| Bend lind. district, and thus ill the va
| cant Speakers chair. After the eulogium
| by the fair lecturer on the little Speaker
on Monday night, | do not see how any
gentleman so landed, and possessed Of or
binary gallantry, could refuse to respond
with The offer of his hand and heart. Go
in and wiz" Schuyler; now's your time.

IMPORTANT ARREST-A WHOLE
SALE LIQUOR HOUSE SEIZED.

From the Memphis Avalanche, April 5th.
About six o'clock yesterday evening,
Deputy United States Marshal Bingham,
on a warrant issued by United States Com
missioner Morrison, arrested Mr.. ID. II.
Evans, the well known and extensive liquor
dealer, No. 254 Front street, (lately IA
Monroe street,, on the grave charge of
fraud on the internal revenue, making false
entries on his books in connection there
with, for aiding and assisting TO conceal,
and in fact concealing, whisky on which he
knew no government tax had been paid
1t appears that about five weeks ago Mr..
Evans contracted for fifty barrels of whisky.
a. oae dollar ahd hity cents per gallon,
which was fifteen per cent. above proof Il
was duly delivered According to the
charge, after the delivery of the whisky,
Mr.. Evans caused nine gallons to be drawn
from each barrel, making four hundred
and fifty gallons in all. TIE vacancy thus
caused was filled with water, thereby rem
dering the contents Of the fifty barrels ex-
actly proof. Aiterward the four hundred
and fifty gallons that mad been drawn were
distributed among other barrels in the es-
Enlistment, of old stock.
1t is alleged that the object of this action
was TO deprive the seller of the difference
between whisky at proof and fifteen per
cent. above; also to enable Mr.. Evans, with
the four hundred and fifty gallons, to make
with liberal admixture of water seventeen
additional barrels, making, in the aggre-
gate, sixty-seyen gallons of proof whisky
upon which il is charged not a cent of gov
eminent tax was paid.
At two o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector, Mr..
Leake, seized the establishment, together
with the books, papers, etc.
We learn that Mr.. Evans former book
keeper is the prosecutor in the case. This
is one of the most important seizures that
has ever been made in the South. The
stock seized is worth about 100000. Mr..
Evans Is said 10 be quite wealthy.

COZ. ST. LEGER GRENFEI-HIs Es-
CAPE

The telegraph informs Us Of the escape Of
Col. ST. George Leger Grenfel from his
place ofimprisonment on the Dry Tortugas.
We are heartily glad that this bold and
rough rider has thus once again become a
freeman. He is a most singular man.
Born of aristocratic parentage, he entered
the British army, and distinguished him
self in several campaigns. He was through
the warfare in India, the Crimean and
Danish Schleswig Holstein disturbances.
In each Of these he distinguished himself,
receiving honorable wounds.
At the inception of our domestic troubles,
seeming the battle afar of, he joined the
troops under the leadership of Gen. John
II. Morgan. His great military knowledge
and experience made him at once favor
lie in the command, and his keen leader
placed him in the position Of Adiutant to
his force.
During Morgan's first daring raid in
Kentucky st. Leger Grenfel was especially
useful In the attack on Cynthiana, in
1862, at the head Of the 2d Kentucky, with
Col. Jas. W. Bowles, Of this city, he led a
charge which, for danntless courage, has
never been equaled. We are glad that the
gay, proud, noble old Britisher is away from
prison bonds. There are other fields where

DIVERS AND SUNDRY." The Paducah
Herald of the Both ult., publishes a letter
from Union City, Tenn, which gives the
particulars Of the suicide of Mr.. Sneed of
the latter place. Sneed was a man forty
years old, and had recently married
young lady of Union City. Having occa-
sion to visit Mobile on business, on his re-
turn he pressed his wife fondly to his
bosom, kissed her, and expressed his salts
faction in knowing that he was the only
man that had ever enjoyed that privilege
Upon which his wife replied, "You are
very much mistaken; | have kissed divers
and sundry men in my life" Sneed re-
piled in kind tone, You told me l was
the only one, and | believed you" To
this his wife made answer, az told you
that l loved --, | have kissed and
Rugged him often, and felt Just as free with
him az if we had been married" The let
ter states that after this cruel confession,
Sneed wandered about the town like one

short time afterwards dead, having COM
mitted suicide by taking laudnum.
