From the Davenport Gazette.

Many expressions of sorrow over the
downfall and death of the California
Banker, W, G, Ralston, were heard in our
city yesterday. Not few of the older
residents of Davenport were acquainted
with him, Thirty years ago he was in
Davenport often, and at times spent weeks
here. His parents lived on farm near

father resided a few years ago. In 1874

and position, he seemed delighted to meet
persons from Davenport. and his enter

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 20, 1875.
JACOB DAVIS, ESQ. Ny Dear Sir: In
addition to the telegram sent to you of
this date, L write in order that might
state fully the reasons which induced me
to notify you not to expect me at your ag-
ricultural fair. l sensibly feel the cordial
invitation which you extended to me, and
hoped that the contemplated address
might be useful to the material interests
common to all portions Of the Mississippi
valley.
Nothing was further from my purpose
than the discussion of political questions,
and, therefore, J did not ask whether nv
audience would be in accord with myself
on political subjects, or of q creed wholly
antagonizing my own.
From your letter of the 18th inst, learn
that you consider there may be hazard of
opposition to my reception as orator of
your approaching fair, and that yourself
and otlIers--ofhcers of the organization
unanimously decided to stand by the ar
engagements you haye made.
thank you for the courtesy and consid-
Grafton thus manifested, but cannot agree
that your regard for what is due to me
should subject yourselves, or your associa.
ton, to any risk of censure or injury.
am not the less, but rather the more, care
full to avoid such a consequence, because
OF the magnamimity expressed in the fact
that over two-thirds of the officers in your
association are of the political party most
opposed to myself.
=, It's gratifying to me to know that the
Union soldiers of your section do not partic-
ipate in whatever opposition exists to my
coming among you, and | will add that. for
public considerations, it is to be regretted
that any class in the country should be less
liberal than they.
With my best wishes for the success of
your association, and for you individually,
have the honor to be yours, respectfully,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
