JEFF" DAVIS A YANKEE.

A curious fact has come to light
here concerning Mr.'Jefferson Davis.
Evidence has been found to be in
existence that, instead of being born
in Kentucky, as has always been
supposed, and as he has always
asserted, he was really born in
Massachusetts, and therefore, in
stead of being a pure-blooded son Of
Southern chivalry, he is only a Massa-
chusetts Yankee. Lanman's Die
tionary of Congress" puts Davis
down rather indefinitely as having
been born in Christian county,
Kentucky, in 1908. Persons who
claim to be well informed say that
"Jef" was born in old Stockbridge,
Mass, in 1908, and removed to
Kentucky with his father when
small child. His father is said to
have been wheelright by trade, and
the house where be lived on one
side Of the road and the shop where
he worked on the other side, are
well remembered by living witnesses.
After all, the illustrious rebel comes
from plebeian stock.-N. Y. Times.

spite in particular anathemas Of
Governor Warmoth. Yesterday

Excellency for his cheap patriotism
in recommending the repeal of OBJ
noxious bills and not signing them
after they were passed.
Does mt the Pic. know that only
the Senate passed the repeal bills
introduced by Senator Thomas?
Doesn't it know that both Houses
must pass them before the Gov
ernor can sign or veto them ?
Doesn't it know that the Senate
has determined since the return of
the Wilderness Senators" that
eighteen the number present when
the repeating bills were passed do
not form a quorum I?
If it knows these things, as it
ought to, where is the sense in its
repeating and harping upon silly
questions put by a Congressional
Committee who may be pardonably
ignorant of them

A ANOTHER r FALSEHOOD
NAILED.

DR.. Southworth who has been ac-
cused of inducing Senator Lewis to
vote for the election of Mr.. Pinch
back as President of the Senate,
feels that while on his own account
he might be unwilling to ''notice
newspaper impertinencies" yet in
Justice to Senator Lewis he writes
to the National Republican, from
whose crowd it originated and in
whose columnsiit has been perpe-
tuated, and over his signature re-
pudiates the use of any improper
means to procure, or to change the
vote of Senator Lewis on the occa-
sion named.
The Doctor says emphatically
CATER Senator Lewis had voted for
Pinchback, and while Senators and
others were urging him to change
his vote, l approached and laid my
hand on his shoulder with fami-
liarity justified by our Tong ac-
quaintance, and, in the presence
and hearing of those around, said,
"Don't do it. It is better as it is.
Don't change your vote )" and this
is the sum of the whole matter.
Will the Fags stop repeating this
fabrication after this ?

s~We clip the following inter-
esting item from a recent number
of the Louisiana Sugar Bowl:
"OvERsEERs' WAGEs-We learn
that overseers' wages are now twice
or three times as high, as before
the war. This, to a stranger, seems
edd, since the crops are less profit
able; but there are good reasons for
it. Labor is much more difficult to
manage, and a good overseer is in
dispensable unless the planter fully
understands all the details of culti-
vation. We often hear of overseers
getting as high as $4,000 to $4,000
per annum, and we learn Of one or
two managers, who hire under-over-
seers, and have charge of several
places, who get salaries greater
than the President of the United
States-but not SO many perqui-
SITES" -

h6r The Governors testimo,

b4 The Governors testimony
before the Congressional Committee
contains the distinct charges, sup
ported by documentary proof, that
the troubles and connections here
of late are caused by the interfer-
ence of Federal officials in the con-
troll of the government of the State.
Nor is this charge solely the result
of partisan feeling, it is true. Had
the Customhouse been a Democratic
stronghold, as it was before the
war, such conduct could be expect
ed, but making pretence to Re-
publicanism and at the same time
making an attempt to destroy the
Republican party is inconsistent and
revolutionary, and has been the
topic of universal condemnation.
Had the office-holders, who ordered
the military here in August to pro-
tect their own crowd and intimidate
their opponents, been removed, no
turbulence would have existed, no
blood would have been shed, no
time wasted and genuine reform
would have been the result.

TIME TO HARMONIZE.

The peacable election two or
three days ago of officers. for the en-
suing twelve months, in the Third
Ward Republican Club of this city,
furnishes us the opportunity to sug-
gest the absolute Importance Of
hence forward laying down that
bitterness and hostility which has
divided our people, and in view Of
the great work to be accomplished,
and the great battle to be fought in
November, organize and harmonize
all the Republicans of the Ward.
No good, temporary nor permanent
can be accomplished by division
and strife. Nothing but unmixed
evil can come to the Republican
party of split in its ranks. In
view therefore of these facts and
considerations let every Republican
discountenance and frown down
any attempt at division in the Re-
publican ranks in future.
Let the leaders and controllers OF
the party, give no countenance
whatever in the future to the efforts
of the demagogue and the unscrupu-
lous aspirant after notoriety. Let
our organizations be preserved in
tact. Each ward with it's one
mother club, and every member Of
such club be willing at all times
to subordinate his private prefer
ences of one Republican over an
other, to the will of the majority
and for the benefit of the whole.
The time is fast approaching when
as party we will need all the unity,
all the oneness of purpose, and all
the numbers that we can secure and
command to successfully contend
against the serried legions of our
'well drilled" enemies. And now at
this early period, at this initial step
of one of our wards we throw out
these remarks for the consideration
Of our friends.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

If the tone of the principal jour
nails of England is fair indication
of the popular sentiment of that
country on the settlement Of the
Alabama claims on the basis as in
terpreted by the American commits
sioners there is great danger OF q
cessation of further consideration
at present and the dismissal of the
general conference. In the present
attitude popular sentiment has been
aroused by the indirect claims"
put in by Americans, while the
English only intended to recognize
and adjudicate on direct claims" :"
The London Times the organ of the
government says England should
demur to the American claim of
indirect damages, and if the Court
of Arbitration reject the demurrer
she should withdraw from the sit
ting and from participation in the
case"
On this side of the Atlantic the
sound has not been disregarded, and
although the Government at Wash
ington has received no official mott
ication of rupture, members of
Congress have already taken the
matter up. The Queens speech,
delivered at the opening of Parlia-
ment on the 9Th, informs us that
"the arbitrators appointed pursuant
to the treaty of Washington for the
purpose of amicably settling the
Alabama claims, held their first
session in Geneva. Cases were laid
before the arbitrators on behalf of
each party to the treaty. In the
case so submitted by the United
States large claims are included,
which are understood on my part
not to be within the province of the
arbitrators. On this subject I have
caused a friendly communication to
be made to the government of the
United States"
Senator Edmunds has made a
speech, in the United States Senate,
calling for the correspondence on
the subject, and altogether seems
to abrogate "the treaty of
Washington"
Diplomatic arrangements will
doubtless induce a happy state of
things on both sides of the Atlantic
and the arbitrament of the sword, |
which for the moment may he i'm
pending, be averted.
