sures the community that the reports OF
the various revenue officers were care
fully compared with their vouchers and
found correct. This fact is gratifying
all around. The proposed financial
plan for conducting the affairs OF the
county, which could only be fully put in
operation by az act OF the Legislature,
is rather intricate, but opens field OF
discussion which might be occupied to
advantage at the approach Of a Consti-
tutioual Convention. The system would
not suit the interior counties, where
daily deposits could not be made for
want OF a bank, and where they
never employ the services of financial
agent, except nominally, and then he
may not keep an Office at the county
seat. The system, while reducing the
number of officers, looks like too much |
red tame, and certainly could not be
adapted to more than three or four
counties in the State. The present laws
are good enough, and sufficient to pro-
tect the county from fraud, if enforced.
That has been our misfortune--slack
rather than deficient laws.

A CURIOUS LEAF FROM HISTORY.


A distinguished party of gentlemen
from Massachusetts were recently enter
tanned at Charleston, S. c., by select
party of gentlemen at the residence Of
Colonel Richard Lathers. The visitors
from the North were the Hon. John II.
Clifford, who has held successfully the
positions of Attorney-General, Cover
nor and Supreme Court Justice of Mas
sachusetts. and who is now the president
of the Boston and Providence Railroad
Company; the Hon. John c. Hoadley,
Of Lawrence, Mass, Major II. c. Brooke,
and one or two other gentlemen The
Charlestoniass who were invited to meet
them included q number of the most
prominent gentlemen of the city. The
Charleston News, giving an account OF
the meeting, states that it was an ex-
ceedingly pleasant one, and was the oc.
casion OF comparing many "reminiscences
of the late war, and brought forth from
Judge Clifford statement of the reason
why jefferson Davis was not prosecuted
by the Federal Government, which can
be condensed into small space. 1t ap-
pears from his statement, which was full
and consecutive, that he participated
in a solemn consultation Of a small
number of the most able lawyers of the
North, few months after the war, upon
the momentous question as to whether
the government should commence
criminal prosecution against the Hon.
Jefferson Davis. The council was sur
rounded with the utmost secrecy. In it
were Attorney General Speed, Hon. YIN.
NJ. Evarts, Judge Clifford, and perhaps
half a dozen others, selected from the
whole Northern profession. The result
of their deliberation was the sudden
abandonment of the cpse by the gov
eminent, in view of the insurmountable
difficulties in the way Of getting final
conviction which we're revealed by the
partial investigation of the law bearing
in the case. "The Federal Constitution,
the law of nations, the decisions of the
Supreme Court in the trial of Aaron
Burr, and other causes celebre, having
more or less bearing on the case then
under consideration, and the whole list
OF State trials in the history of the civ
ilized world, we're studied, weighed,
analysed and dissected. The council
was divided upon some points and
agreed upon others. Some we're at first
strenuous for prosecution; others, who
had weighed the subject more carefully,
insisted, from the first, upon the futility
Of such course, and finally the wiser
counsels of the latter prevailed, and the
proposed prosecution of Mr.. Davis was,
as will be remembered, suddenly aban-
doned, although it may doubtless be
news to many Of our readers to learn
that this sudden change Of policy was
the direct result of this solemn con-
claye."
