Meeting of the Southern Historical So
oiety at White Sulphur Springs, Va,
Address of Hon. Jefferson Davis.

Hon. Jefferson Davis addressed the
Southern Historical Convention at
White Sulphur Springs last Monday.
In speaking of the late war, he said
1--WE have been more cheated than
conquered by declarations of the fed
eral president, the congress and the
generals, for there could never have
been a surrender had we anticipated
what followed, and we would to-day
have been free" He still had hope of
the South, because whatever men
might be, he never yet had seen re-
constructed women while the men
of the day are mightier than the
principles for which they had strug-
gled, he yet hoped the children who
succeeded them would grow up to
maintain and perpetuate them, and
redeem all that we had lost.
Mr.. Davis remarks contain no
statement of hostility to the federal
government.
A resolution was offered by Admi-
raj Semmes that President Grant be
requested to permit the Secretary Of
this Society to examine al the papers
and archives of the government cap
tured by the federal forces from the
confederates during the war, and to
