THE explanation of jeff Davis which
we publish in our dispatches this morning
comes rather late. The factis, his Augusta
speech was reprinted North just as report
ed by the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel,
paper entirely friendly to Mr.. Davis;
and his Atlanta speech was republished,
just as given by the Atlanta papers. Now
Mr.. Davis read these reports the morning
they were published, and if hewas mis-
represented, why did he not promptly cor
rect them? Is it ikly that it would have
escaped his observation, or MS it likely
Democratic papers would misrepresent
him? 1t looks very much to us as though,
now when he saw the effect of those
speeches, he was trying to hedge against
them. The press of Augusta and Atlanta
would certainly have discovered their mis-
take long ago, if any was actually made.

THE PRESIDENT AT LONG BRANCH.

The "mussr made by the Democratic
journals over the efforts of the President to
obtain little recreation, after the press OF
official duties at the capital is relieved by
the adjournment of Congress, is aptly
compared by the New York Times to the
personal attacks of similar character
made on President Washington by the OPP
position press of his day, because of his
retirement to Mount Vernon whenever
the condition of public business permitted.
Washington was likewise assailed for re-
pealed tours through some of the States
where he was most popular. In fact, some
of President Washington's most import
ant State questions Were decided away
from Washington on written opinions
proposed by his Cabinet officers.
To us, all this unkind criticism is fool
ishness. The people do not expect the
President to wear himself out at the
White House, subjected as he is every day
during the year to visits, opportunities
for office, and the manifold cares of his
position. He is entitled to his recreation,
and we are glad he takes it. 1t only ena-
bles him to bring to the discharge of his
more important duties, more vigorous
mind, and secures for the public better adj
ministrative ability. 1t is not contem-
plated that the President should person.
ally superintend the details of executive
duties. No man with the slightest knowl-
edge of their number or nature would ex-
pect it. He is by law, provided with Cabi-
net advisers, heads of bureaus and subor-
climates of every grade. If he is possessed
of sufficient sagacity and judgment, to Sc
cure for these positions men of integrity of
diligent habits, who dispose of the public
business with despatch, so that he is so
far relieved of the drudgery of supervising
details, as to give him time for recreation,
the country has no need of complaint, and
sensible minds will not complain.
The whole matter is i'm nutshell. The
country has the most satisfactory and con-
vtncing proof that President Grants adj
ministration is economical and honest, far
more so than his predecessors !; that with
diminished taxes he has greatly reduced
the public debt, and so long as this is the
case, they care very little whether he
spends his summers at Long Branch or at
Washington.
When during the war, just after the bat
tie of vicksburg, President Lincoln was
5 asked to remove Gen. Grant because he
drank whisky, he loosely remarked that
ifGrant's whisky made Generals win such
victories as Donelson and Vicksburg, he
would like some of that kind for his other
( commanders. We think the people will
say in this case, that if President Grant
can reduce their taxes, pay off their debt,
and stop the stealing and rascality that
robbed the Treasury under Andy john
son'sladministration, by spending portion
OF his summers at Long Branch, they will
want summer White House built there
for all their Presidents

How Fortunes are Made.

Helmbold declares, without advcrti-
sing should be a poor man to-day"
Very probably. There are many men
who arc poor to-day simply because they
were afraid to risk few dollars in prin-
ter's ink. Some business men make a
feeble attempt Mt Keeping themselves be-
fore the public, and then, because bust
ness does not Immediately crowd in upon
them, come to the sage conclusion that
advertising won't pay. If they fail to
trace large sales directly to their few
little advertisements, the impression is
indelibly fixed in their minds that the
investment is poor one, and hence they
refuse to repeat the experiment.
If Hclmbold, Bonner, Jay Cooke, and
other parties who have realized immense
fortunes as the result of extensive and
judicioils advertising, had been as timor-
Gus as these hnlf,way advertisers, would
they ever have achieved their present
success?

The May Convention.

The proposition, originally emanating
from the Charleston Chamber OF Commelce
and Board of Trade, to hold a convention
IN this city in May next, to take into con-
sideration our financial affairs has been
received with general favor throughout the
State In almost every County, arrange
ments have been made for representation.
As we nave before intimated, re consider
1t wise for such body to assemble for the
purpose Of devising practical and discreet
measures Of relief-measures. TOO, which
shall look to the future. 1t important for
usto know exactly how and where VIC stand,

point ofview A body of able, discreet and
patriotic citizens meeting together for the
purpose of cool, calm and thorough ex-
animation of the States resources and iia-
bllities, and Of suggesting measures OF re-
lief and security, must result IN good.
Such meeting seems demanded by the
situation. OF course, Richland will be
duly represented in the convention. We
learn that the Columbia Board Of Trade
have the matter in view, and under the
necessary steps will &c talsn iOr the rep

to deal with. We have read the State;
ment Of this Companyfor the year 1870,
and been very much impressed with its
convincing facts:' - S.a,ss <
1T shows tha, financial condition
is one of the gy It security, and that
the principle which the company
is conducted-thal of reducing the pre-
miums to the lowest possible scale ana
abandoning the garnish of periodical div,
idends-is both sound in. practice and
acceptable to the great body of those who
seek life insurance The number OF poll
cies issued by the company in 1870 was
2,304, insuring Sc, It's, ,965, and the net sur
plus at the end of the year was S223, l32.-
26, which furnishes a ratio OF. assets oyer
liabilities Of 1856 per cent, or, in other
words, the company possesses FSl36 Tor
every 800 of It's liabilities. Il, - .
The company has attained this proud
position in less than six years, although
it claims rates of premiums Twenty-Five
per cent. less than those charged by other
companies. This low cost of life insu-
rance ought to prove an attractive fea-
ture, and the advantage will be plainly
seen in the fact that the company has re-
ceived in premiums from its policy hol-
ders the sum Of 81, ,5l7 900, whilst to ef-
foot tln con,a amo,1nt nf incnranoa in q
mutual company would have cost 81, 00O,-
600. Thus by allowing its policy holders
to retain this excess of S4S3, 900, the COM
of S4S3, 900, and paid it i'll advance instead
Of at the end of one or more years.
The managers of the company claim
that it is impossible to find any exam
pie of mutual company furnishing in
surance at so low cost by. returning to
its policy holders an equal amount upon
similar receipts. f. a9S i9s
This is the principle of business advo-
Gated by many accomplished actuaries,
who agree that the sums returned to the
policy holders under the designation, of
dividends are monies that never ought to
have been taken from them, and that
these dividends are nothing more than u
restitution of property falsely charged.
The Universal Life, has had the sagacity
to test this theory, and the result has had
the effect of distinguishing this conlpa-
nv above fourteen rivals of it's age that
pursued the old well-trodden patti, The
success of the company IS n proud Victo-
ry for the management, and we are con-
tidept that as the equity. of the system
becomes moro widely known it will be
more largely patronized.

Another account says the Government
troops attacked the Communist position
at Vanvres on Saturday morning. The
attack was sudden and took the insur-
gents completely by surprise, but they
soon rallied and after most determined.
fight, in which many lives were sacrificed,
succeeded in compelling the Government

The fighting at this point continued the.
