all the fish he catches as long as
the season remains good, but
when there is a failure of the sal

every depOsitor is entitled to Dor

JEFF DAVIS is UDNER A SOCIAL CLOUD 1t
Memphis. according to George Alfred Town
sends last letter to the Chicago Tribune. He
is the deadest man resident in Memphis, and
the money paid him as president of an insur-
ance company is generally regarded as thrown
away. II asked the reason for this" says
Townsend, "and found it entirely attributable
to the sleepng-car affair. Nobody familiar
with the facts cntertains doubt that Davis
dsgraced himself, and played the traitor to
his family in the most public manner, in view
of his fellow travellers of the sleeping car, the
conductor, and even the negro porter. Some
palliate his offence by saying that he wa,
drunk at the time, and that the first thing he
did, after being ordered out, was to take a
pull at the bottle. He is not generally, how
ever, drinking man, and the act which dis
graced him sits so incompatibly upon his
arstocratic shoulders that the man has lost
recognition even to himself. In youth,
Davis was brave, positive and unyield-
ing man; but he had not the qualities
to command the confidence of Gen.
Taylor, whose daughter he mar
red, and that old hero refused to recognize
him as a son-in-law until he was wounded AZ
Buena Vista. BY his second marriage Mr..
Davis has half dozen of children, and dur
ing his confinement at Fort Monroe, and dur
ing all the subsequent scenes, he was borne
up by his wife's steadfast domestic sympathy
and comfort Had he been person of real
force of character, he would have identified
himself. like Gen. Lee or Gen. Malone, or
even Gen. Forrest, with some of the material
interests OF the South, and labored to rehabili
tate the land, and inspirit it to new
hopes under the new condition of things.
But Jefferson Davis has regarded the whole
war of the rebellion az merely part of his
personal biography, AMI, in the fall of the
cOnfederacy, he has regarded his life as end
ed, and has labored ever since to make it con-
sistent by sincerely and bitterly hating the
Union" Mr.. Davis has already annihilated
one reporter who sought an interview regard
ing the sleeping-car affair; and should he
happen to meet "Gath" after the above,
there will doubtless be some warm and inter
esting passages.

Political Notes.

Some small sized Democratic politicians in
this city have been telling Irish voters that
Senator Wilson was one of the leaders in the
mob that destroyed the Catholic convent in
Charlestown, Mass. over thirty years ago. 1t
is needless to deny so improbable story.
The Republicans of New York are now car
rying on a vigorous campaign. With mag
nificent State ticket headed by Gen. Dix, VIC
tory is no longer doubtful. Messrs. Frye,
Caldwell and Milliken of this State are
speaking and everywhere the enthusiasm even
surpasses that of 1860.
Observant travellers in Minnesota, Illinois,
Iowa and Michigan state that Greeley stock
was rapidly declining-and that was before
the flood of Tuesday the 8th.
The Albany Journal says that there is to
be big game of cheating between the Dem
ocrats and Liberals in that State next Novem-
Der. The Greeleyites will generally cut Ker-
nan or swap him off for vote for Greeley,
and the Democrats will swap off Greeley for
Herman. The whole thing was a cheat from
the beginning

KENTs HILL MATTERS. -Friday was given
to the scholars of the seminary and college as
their customary holiday. Several large wagons
took two hundred and fifty students and teach

THE Toronto Globe in an article on tn,

THE Toronto Globe in an article on the
elections of the Sth inst. says:
The election of General Hartranft as Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, by majority of over
$1,000 seems to imply that the people do not
place any belief in the charges of fraud and
embezzlement brought against him by his OPP
ponents. In fact, one lesson of this election
10 that mere personal abuse and detraction
without foundation recoils upon the vilifiers,
and creates popular sympathy for the per-
son abused.
A better illustration of this fact is the case
of President Grant who has been so con-
stantly abused and vilifed by the Greeley
press and orators that it has produced a reac-
ton in his favor and no one cause has tended
more to strengthen him with the people than
his dignified bearing under this flood of cal
umny. .. a... tfg ...
THE Maine Farmer notices the fact that
several of the most prominent papers in
Maine advocate woman suffrage and ventures
the prediction that it is not altogether i'm
probable that the Legislature of 1873 will
recognize the fast changing public sentiment
on this subject by enacting law to enfran-
chise women. 1t is certain that Maine is
making good progress in that direction. At
the present term of court in Washington
County, Mrs. Clara Hapgood Nash of Col
umbia Falls already, holding commission of
Justice of the Peace, was admitted to practice
as an attorney at law in the Supreme Courts
of Maine.

Steam Whistles.
Editor of the Press

To the Editor Of the Press:
Many thanks for the article in your issue Of
to-day. When whistles have become an in
tolerable nuisance to many parts of the city.
The locomotives of the Maine Central and
Ogsdenburg railroads, on West Commercial
street, hold a daily concert, commencing at
about four O'Clock. A. NJ, preventing any
sleep after that time to the people in that Vi
entity. To the sick on Danforth street, from
l Bracket to Vaughan, it is almost unbearable.
Ihere Is no necessity for the Maine Central
locomotives keeping up such nuisance. A
few mornings ago the writer counted twenty
two unearthly whistles of a Maine Central
locomotive standing on the track in front of
the glass works-not to warn any one to get off
the track, but to call a lazy conductor of the
freight train who had oversight. Will Judge
Rice do us the favor to abate this nuisance
at least in part, if not altogether?

IT may be assumed that the heretofore in
complete link of the European and North
American Railway between st. John and
Halifax has been so far completed as to run
trains over it. More than week since less
than two miles of track remained to be laid
and this was going rapidly forward. 1t is un-
derstood that several weeks will be required
to ballast the road, after which through trains
will run regularly. In connection with the
immense travel at all seasons between Eu-
rope and this country, this road, which. with
its connections obviates seven hundred miles
of sea voyage, must inevitably become one Of
the great passenger lines of the continent.
