Cameron said that he had remarked to Mr.
Jefferson Davis, as the latter lett the Cham

successor. Mr.. Davis has now written the
following letter Ga the subject
MEMPHIS. Tenn, March %, 1870.

explain the delay in this reply. Senator
Cameron made no such statemen. as that

ut the time of my withdrawal from the Senate
other than the expression OF his good wishes
for me- His relations with me had been
uniformly those Of personal kindness, and
have exposed him, as dlty to himself and
to truth, to deny having made such remarks as
have been imputed in the newspapers.
Men then had not reached the degree Of
stu'tifo4tion which caused thesyithdrawal of
States fiom the Union to be called ''rrtclion;"
and the only remark, so far as | know, made
by any Senator, which hal the least practical

New Hampshire, that he expected US all soon
TO come back. Very rosptc:iu ly and truly

Gov. WISE SWORN In - From the Wash
inglon correspondent OF the Charleston Court.
err T"c veteran statesman, Henry \. Wise,
o! Virginia, was yesterday admitted to the bar
ct the Supreme Court, on motion of Caleb
Cushing, who in the ~ Ter administration con-
s'ituted, with Wise, the famous 'corporals
guard, aud gave wonderful degree oil
strength to that administration, which had
neither Wing nor Democratic support.
A. the same Tim, John w. Johnston, the
new Senator from Virginia, no scaawag, and
no CARPET Dagger, tut 4 statesman OF the day,
not II the past century, was admitted 70 the
same bar on motion Of ". ". Boyce, OF South
Carolina, who was a claSsnate Of Johnston in
college. 1t was funny enough to notice that
while thiS group OF life long friends were engag-
ed ia h" tormalities OF the occ .SioD, Mr.. Rid.
die, ci New Jersey, was making motion in
court ABOUT the coortd man Bradley case.
Meanwhile Governor Wise and Senator John
sion passed the book. swearing to support the
constitution of the United States. 1t was an
interesting scerce. Governor Wise had a
thousand times protested against the United
States government, ''in ali its basket and in its
store, as say the religious, Of whom the ex-
Governor and ex-Gencral and exCongressman
is one. Henry \. Wise took the oath 10 sup
port the thi'teeoth. the fourteenth, and the
fifteenth amendment. He swallowed the whole
dose. Now, as to the thirteenth amendment,
Governor Wise had hut one difficulty. He has
always thanked God fer the abolition of slavery
but never gave Lincoln nor the Federal govero-
ment the slightest degree Of credit for it.
While the gentlemen whom l have named,
aud some others. we're standing together, Gov
crnor Wise heard Mr. II ddle making a motion
to the Court, which he wished to understand.
Why said Mr.. Boyce, that is motion about
the admission Of black man to toe bar OF the
Supreme Court.

The movements 10 reference to Presidential
candidates, and the next Presidential c!ectlon'
are generally regarded as premature, ard not
likely to be much considered 10y the pubic at
this time. 1t is too soon yet awhile TO enter
upop what is called presidential campaign.
So many things may happen between this and
the election, that people are unwilling to oom'
NIT themselves. Only one thing, we tbl"k, Is
quite sure about the matter, and that Is that
Gen. Grant will be the candidate nom!nated by
the Radical party, following the advice Of their
