JEFF. DAVIS IN THE HOUSE OF Commons
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, in
the course OF description of a visit to the gal
lery of the House of Commons, gives this
glimpse of a man once distinguished
s'While 1 am standing IN this group, eagerly
watching the police sergeant, who will pres
emily call the names of the privileged few, I
hear
"Isn't this Mr.. Davis?'
Il turn round, and right behind me stands
Jefferson Davis But POUNDS! what a change
in mortal man! L would scarcely have known
him If my attention had not been called to
him. And can it be possible, unused, that
this shrivelled faced, thin voiced, shrunken
limbed, slouchy little old man is the eloquent
and commanding Senator from Mississippi, the
prompt, resoute and courtly Secretary of
War that was really President when Franklin
Pierce was ostensibly? i tell you the truth
A feeling of pity stole over me. ! was
touched, and there is no knowing what my i'm
pulse of tender magnanimity to our fallen foe
would have driven me to do and say if it had
not met in the impulse of the man who put the
question I have quoted that obsequious syc-
ophancy toward the shareholders rebellion
which for these ten years past has been the
preeminent characteristic of anti-slavery Eng
land. Mr. Davis quietly replied, That lis my

Englishman who deeply sympathizes with you |;
L have often wanted to see you; 1 have your
pictured hanging up in my house and prize
it very highly"
This was said in an agitated, feryent way,
while hands were shaken, and then Mr.. Har-
ris, who was gray haired, well-to-do-ooking
gentleman, put his mouth close to Mr.. Daviss
ear and whispered what l did not hear, but
what could not but imagine was, England
was with You; and if you could have held out
another year we would have joined France in
recognizing your government Mr.. Davis
smiled feebly, and, / thought sadly. His name
was called and in he went. followed imme-
diately, and saw him met by one OF the House

before him, whispering to everybo dy, THAT is

recess and where Mr.. Davis sat down with
Archbishop Manning and Dean Stanley.

WHY is the Advertiser trying SO hard to in
jure Gov. Chamberlain? 1t is laboring to
prove that he is unpopular, and that inauen-
entail men have arrayed themselves against
him. We do not know what ground there
may be for such copjectures, but as we see
them in no other paper, we construe the malc-
ious paragraphs of our contemporary as pitt
full effort to crafty some personal spite against

The QUARREL" BETWEEN CONGRESS AND
THE PREsDENT.-The hostility" between
Congress and the President, of which we read
SO much in the Democratic papers, is seen in
the promptness and unanimity with which the
House Committee on Reconstruction reported
yesterday a bill embodying the recommends
tions of the Presidents message of the day
before. 1t will be remembered that before the
President sent in his message the subject CT
reconstruction had been postponed by coali-
ton between minority of the Republicans
and the Democrats, the more radical Republi-
cans for the most part opposing an adjourn
ment until further provision for rcconstrue ion
could be made.

THE CONCERT To-NIGHT.-We are glad to
hear that great interest is manifested in the
complimentary concert to Mr.. Chandler which
comes off at City Hall tonight. This is as it
should be. Mr.. Chandler has worked hard for
many years to make our Portland Band
worthy not only of our city but of any city,
and he has now incorporated among it's mem
bers musicians of no mean ability. The class
of music that will be offered to the public is
such as will please the taste of the fastidious
as we'll as the popular ear Nothing has been
left undone by him or by the band to render
the affair great success as far as they are
concerned. If every man, woman and child
in the city who has ever passed q pleasant
evening through the efforts of Mr.. Chandler
show their appreciation of his untiring zeal
and energy by taking ticket City Hall will
be far too small to hold them. Tickets can be
procured during the day at Paine's Music
Store and Gilkey's Drug Store, and by pur-
chasing them there you will avoid the crowd
at the ticket-ofice.
