M- A Memphis letter to the Cincinnati Com
mercial says: Jefferson DaTis has tason up his
permanent abode in this city, after drifting around
at hap-hazard for the first few years after tts
war. He has rooms at the Peabody Hotel, where
he transac;s the business devOlving upon him US
president, not of the Confederate States, butoi
| the South Carolina Insurance Company. He re-
ceiyes salary of FIVE thousand dollars year,
hut no great amount of work falls to his lot. His
name is what the insurance company wanted
more than his business capacities. Mr.. DAVIS Is
remarkably reserved concerning the condition OF
the country 1t is useless to mention politics in
his presence with the hope of drawing him out.
He refuses to be drawn out, and it is said that
even to his intimate friends he has little to say
nbout politics The subject either has no charm
fer him, or else he considers himself failure MS
politician No, that is hardly it, either, for his
success as a politician, up to the breaking out OF
the war, isl matter Of history, and mono arc
yersed in that history better than himself. Ho
never appears in public except at church, or to
say few words to the surday-Echool scholars.
Save on such occasions, Jefferson Davis is never
seen or heard Of rnless called upon at his roOms
at the Pcabody." -

We call attention to tho advertisement oftthe
Piedmont darlington Life Insurance Company
in another column 1t offers to its patrons as as
many advantages, and as great security, as o'her
COMPANIES can, and in addition invests its surplus
in this State, and among its policy holders Thus
making it in every essential Home Company,
and better inasmuch as it offers ycu the security
of its good management, tested by its prosperity

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
The New York Ttb,mc remarks that
the British members OF the joint high
commission, which have arrived in this
country, come in the interests Of peace
at an auspicious time, and under cir
cumstances more promising than have
ever before surrounded the vexed ne
eotiations which two great and kindred
nations eypcctthem to bring to a happy
close 1t predicts that they will be
met everywhere with the courtesy and
cordiality Of people grown old enough
to have lost some Of lis first sensitive
ness, and grown too great to be eager
for quarrel or slow to reconciliation. 1t
is to be hoped that this prediction will
be realized. Mr.. Disraeli, the conser-
vative leader in the House Of Commons
complained in late slashing speech in
the House, that the tone Of the Ameri-
can Government towards the Govern
ment of England is different from that
used towards the Government of any
other country, and although he had
once attributed it to "the rude simple
ity of Republican manners, " it was not
that, for nothing could be more courte-
GUS than the American tone to the Rus
sian Government. He referred also to
speeches in the House Of Representa-
tiyes, and said that if there is to be a
commission, +" it will be good oppor'u-
nitv for US to come to a clear under
standing on that point-that England
cannot be insulted' or injured with i'm
punity and, although l should look
mon it as the darkest hour in my life
to support or even to counsel in this
House a war with the United States,
the United States must understand that
we will not permit ourselves to be treat
ed differently from other countries.
In the same speech Mr.. Disraeli denied
that the cause of the Southern States
during our late civil war was taken up
by either party in England Mr.. Glad
stone, the premier, in a brief and point
ed reply, expressed the opinion, which
was received with cheers, "that our
(their) best and safest course is to trust
to the Judgment and good sense of the
American nation" This is sound ad-
vice, and the confidence will not be
thrown away, SO far as it assumes a
prevalent disposition here among the
people to obe just and expect justice, spite
