Speech mt HFhito sulphur Springs.
Special Dtspatch 10 Tho Chicago Tribune:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Tho Virginia Consorva-
tfvos are very much annoyed at tho speech Of
Jefferson Davis, published just ut tho beginning
Of the campaign. Some go 30 far In thoir in-
dignation as to inttmnto that he is In collusion
with tho nepublicans, and in support OF
this theory Davis clomonoy to Grant,
when ho was oourt-marialed at tho timo
Of the Mexican war, and Grants influence In
Davis' favor after the Ear, are cited as confirm
atoIy evidence. Some Of tho Conservatives hcro
claim that Grant could have no more cfllciont
supporter than Joff Davis constantly proyea
himself to be.
Ex-senator Footo, in published lcttor this
morning, bitterly denounces Davis and
says: Mr. Davis has not boon
quito 90 Bolect Of late in hia
choice Of political counBel1ors Of tho
gontlor BOX as ho might haye boon. II be
expects to str up rebellion again in tho South
by such pitiful commendation Of Southern
women az trick1el 80 deceitfnlly from his lips
three days ago at tho Montgomery White sul-
phur Springs, ! can toll him that ho mover
made greator blunder In hts lfo. Our women
Of tho South arc not yet all Amazons, and oil
