COLUMBIA, 'S. o., May 20.
Jefferson Davis arrived here no
Tuesday on business connected
with the life insurance company
of which he is president. l was
introduced to him yesterday in a
lawyers office, where lie was hold
inf an informal reception, and had
a hulf-hour's conversation Mr.. Dl-
Wis bears little resemblance to the
,pictures with which everybody was
familiar during the War, and he
might walk the streets of any North
ern city without chance of being
known by people who have seen
only his photographs. In entering
the back room ofthc lawyers office
| found seated consplcuously in
the mi st Of about dozen persons a
qaic;- looking gentleman Of medium
height, with gray hairs, thin gray
beard and mus,achc, light blae eyes,
slightly aqniIine nose, rather sallow
and sanken checks, and hi igb, wrin-
kIcd forehead, dressed with sGrupu,
lous rcatncss in = suit of somewhat
worn black clothes. This was the
guiding spirit of the great rebellion
Nothing in his appearance indicated

except a large black cat that wa
found above the ceiling. Nugent wa
released after a few DAYS, q senate
. having acknowledged that he ha

= there was no harm In it.
Mr.. Davis carefully avoided polite
during. the conversation, saying tha
, he did not desire that publicity shoul

, subjects. There was some tall, abou

The Register is very generous, though

snranccs about what a Convention will do
and will not do, in case one shall be called
One would expect from It's tone that the
Convention would be wholly under its
control. On the contrary, we have no
doubt the event would be very different.

the Convention il one be called, have Ger.
