and front OF it still, and no opportu-
nifty will be lost to stab the fostering
corpse Of secession through him. We
are convinced that this story of the
sleeping car and the wakeful beauty
is a SANDER upon Mr.. Davis, instiga-
gated by partizan hatred of him and
of the cause he once represented.
MIR. Davis, as we have already said
is human, and is, therefore, not infal
'lible; but he is man who has al
ways been more than ordinarily joal-
GUS of his reputation-so much SO,
indeed, that through all the long
years of his public career his private
character has always been far above
reproach->and to believe that there
is the slightest foundation for this
story is to believe that he has taken
leave of the last vestige of his senses
and is q fit subject for the madhouse.

ssa- & lion dead has often fright
ened the iackaIs; and Jefferson Day
is, says the New Orleans Times, in
the honorable retirement of private
life, is still source of alarm to his
political enemies. They envy him
the possession of that Roman virtue
which survived defeat and contume-
"; they envy him the possession OF
that moral rectitudo which has tri-
umphed over temptation and disas-
ter; they envy him the respect and
yeneration in which he is held by an
admiring people; chastened instead
OF impaired by misfortune. In vain
they search the galaxy of greatness;
even beneath the laurel crown, for
his peer in man-like grandeur. We
are not to wonder that shafts of NAL
ignity fall thick and fast around him;
that the grossest Of immoralities and
the pettiest of faults are charged in
the same breath. Let them fall; his
name and fame win live illustrious,
in history when all traces of his de
tractors shall have vanished from the
earth they so signally disgrace.

A.-Certainly; he was going down
peaceably with me. Guerin was a
weak man, very easy to be handled.
/ AT the conclusion of Mr.. Daunnoy's
testimony he was asked if he knew
any further facts bearing on the case.
lie said he believed he had told all :;
ana that he knew nothing more ex-
cept the remarks and comments of
others, and these he was not DISPOSED
to repeat unless forced to do so. A
juror having insisted on his disclosing
everything, he proceeded to relate that
after the shooting he received a writ

sicot, directing him to call and see him
at an early hour the next morning on
important business; that in obedience
to that summons he repaired to Mr..
Massicot's residence at the time an.

of him to know what he knew about
Mr.. Guerin having thrown his pistol
ut Mr.. Conrad's feet, and what Conrad
did with it. Witness said he replied
in terms of great vigor that there was
not one word of.truth in the statement
which the question implied that
Gnerin had no arms of any kind. To
this Mr.. Massicot replied that a state
ment of that kind had been made.
Witness in> further reply said to the
Sheriff that there was not the least
necessity for the killing of Guerin,
and that i'll his opinion the act was not
justified. The narration of this inter
view between Deputy Daunoy and
his principal left the impression that
an attempt had been made to fix up
the testimony in the case in the in
terest of Houston.
