JEFFEGESON DAVIS.

The Charleston NcUs and Courier
| commenting upon the opposition of
certain Radicals in Illinois, to the in
vitation of Jefferson Davis to deliver
the annual address before the Wen
nebago Agricultural Association says
The gentleman, il accepting the
lvltation, was prompted, we are con-
fident, by no other wish :l:an that OF
doing his part to set at rest the bitter
memories of the Confederate war, and
his self-respect will not allow him to
go to place where he has been cru
ely stla -Datizad as coward ard muir
derer. In the South Mr.. Davis was
censured during the war fer suppos-
ed wrongheadness and nepotism and II
the South lie has been rebuked, since
the war, for intemperance of speach.
But the South even i'll this era Of
gocd-feeiing, will not hold as her
friends any set of so called patriots
who denounce him who, from Ball
Bluff to Appomattox, was the head
and front of the Confederacy, and who
in the cells at Fort Monroe, suffered
more than any other Southerner sui
fered after the war closed. Mr.. Da
Wis, in devoting himself to the Con
federate cause, did moro, III his de-
gree, than the officers and soldiers Of
the Confederate armies did in their |
degree nor is he more, guilty or |
bjameworthy than they. AT all events
t would be bad omen for the county
f the South were to turn her back Oh
Mr.. Davis merely because his posi-
ion WAS the most conspicuous, and

L asE NEW TEN NffSSEE SENATOR.
The Atlanta Co1as,itutiOn congratu-
lates the people Of Tennessee upon the
appointment Of Chancellor David M.
Key OF Chattanooga to the United
States Senatorship, made vacant by
the death Of Andrew Johnson and
SAYS:
''The mantle of the ex-president-
senator could not have fallen upon ono
of his follow East Tonnessoans more
worthy of the honor or better fitted
for the position.
Senator Key has been for several
years chancellor Of the judicial district
in which Chattanooga is, and is ranked
as one of the best jurists in the state.
He has, we believe, been prominent in
the politics of Tennessee at various
times, tho last being in the canvass of
1872, when through the demoraliz:ng
Influences of the johnson Cheatham-
Maynard contest, he was defeated fer
congress by "Bili'' Crntchield.
Senator Key is man well advanced
il years, of strong intellect, fine edu-
cation and attainmeLts, and one Of the
most popular men in his section. The
governor has done we'll in securing tC
East Tonnes see the continuation o.
the senatorial incumbency voted tt
her. and in securing one of its ables
citizens to be the incumbent"

to have been caused BY The falling and scattering
of pieces of wood from one Of the old-fashioncd
large 1ire-placcS in the room, in which large
chunks OF wood were usually heaped up to Il
height which made il possible for pieces to roll
out on the floor when the lower wood c1um-
bled. The loss to the building will amount TO
about $25, 1000, while the consequential damage
caused by the destruction of records and docu-
ments will not likely be near as great as at the
fire about one year ago, although this is mere
surmlse. great many papers, books and
