A FABRICATION ABOUT JEFF DAvIs.-The
Baltimore Sun, referring to the story going the
rounds that Jefferson Davis ran off with another
mans wife on Tuesday night, the 18th instant.
from Memphis, Tennessee, says:
" AS there is class of people who are ready

Confederate ex-President, it will not he amiss 10
state that he was at Barnum's Hotel, in Balti-
more, on "wednesday, the 18th instant, which
would have allowed him about twenty-four
hours In which to make trip of some 900 miles
Of course the story is a pure fabrication and a
very disgraceful one for its author"

The Nashville Banner is very sensitive
and eminently proper when its Demo
cratic leaders are assaulted. The New York
Times bluntly calls those eminent Demo
cratic leaders Mayor Hall and Comptroller
Connolly, of New York City, thieves, be-
cause it says it can prove them such. This
the Banner calls coarse and indecent, and
thereupon assails Mr. Jennings, the man
aging editor of the Times, and calls him
an EilgliShmdia. Dreadful isn't it, The
Banner thinks it awful. But which is
worse the thieves or the man who calls
them that and offers to proue it. Now we
think thief good English word, and we
think Furthermore that when men become
there's they ought to be posted as such.

in, New York, must know that the Times
is right in its chargeS-at least it must
know that there is a vast amount of cor
ruption there, and every reason in the
world to belive that Hall and Connolly
are the there's charged. This being the

THE JEFF. DAVIS STORY AGAIN.


We do not propose to take lessons in the
ethics ofnewspaper publications froma sci
of migratory Bohemians, who join Loyal
Leagues and publish radical newspapers in
one place where they temporarily squat,
and the vilest kind OF Democratic sheet
at this their next temporary location, and
we want them to distinctly understand it.
Men who merely make their political con
victiofIs matter Of merchandise cannot
prescribe for us what is proper or improp-
er for publication.D But what paragon Of
virtue is this sheet that complains of the
publication of the JEFF. Davis sleeping car
story? 1t is the same, that but few
weeks ago filled its columns with
a vulgar, indecent assault, upon one
of our Revenue Officials. 1t is the same,
that few months ago forafew cents line
gave circulation to a beastly obscene libel
upon prominent and honOred citizen of
this community and,his highly respected
and unoffending family. 1t is the same
sheet now criminally indicted in our coun-
ty criminal court for a libel on good citi-
zen of Blount county. This, is the paper
that presumes to put itself forward in this
city, where its record is well known, as a
standard for decency and propriety. .-
As to the gentleman who is periodically
announced as assuming its management
we have only to say, that a personal CON
troversy can only come through direct
provocation on his part. Respect for his
friends forbid us assuming the offensive in
any way, but if such controversy mu st
come, from bis own choice, it will be.plain
andto the point as is our custom.
AS to the Jeff Davis story, we have only
to say that careful investigation here and
at Chattanooga satisfies. us that our course
in the matter is fully Justified. Mr.. Trice,
the conductor, is Virginian by birth, and
fs,las he, says, = as good a rebel as jeff.
Davis" so the cry of Radical Slandersp
is hardly justified. He is very outspoken
in his statements, and evidently disposed
to stand square by his written report
which we are Informed he has made and
filed with the officers of the road. We
have, if called upon in proper way, fur
,ther facts and circumstances to justify the
publication as we gave it. Newspapers
that have published the vilest SANDERS on
President Grant and other Republican,
Headers, can't intimidate or suppress publ
cations concerning their leaders, by the
course they are pursuing in this matter,
