Blaine's Luck.

Now another and supreme piece of luck be-
falls the fortunate gentleman from Maine.
Jefferson Davis has replied to his speeches.
The perverse ingenuity Of the ex-President of
the Southern Confederacy was never more
characteristically exercised than in this angry
letter. When Mr.. Blaine proposed to distin-
guish Jefferson Davis by refusing to include
him in general amnesty, a majority of the
Republicans of the North believed that he
made a great mistake. More than half of Da-
vis's letter, however, is taken up in showing
that Mr. Blaine was right. Whatever may be the
feeling of the rest of the South, it is plain that
Davis as least is unchanged In his mind
still the reconstructed States are conquered
and outraged provinces; the Northern hordes
are INVADERS it is the privilege of the
South to forgive, not ours. He does not wish
for amnesty. He has mo view of the future
which makes it desirable for him to be in
cluded in an amnesty bill. He does not look
upon it as an act of grace. To impose disa-
bilities was an infringement of law. To
remove them by.ac of Congress is usurpation.
He will have none of our forgiveness. He
only asks now, as he did of old, to be let
alone. And the comment of the multitude at
the North will be, swell, Blaine knew jeff.
Davis best, a ter all"
On the question of the treatment of Union
prisoners at the South, Mr. Davis takes po-
sition which can only be defined as aggressive.
10 - hot ha bol
any personal responsibility for their suffer
ings, but he asserts that the familiar story of
Andersonville is in part fiction, in part
gross exaggeratlon. He repeats the ;ale which
in the official report, that Confederate prison.
ers in our hands were worse treated than the
Federal prisoners in his. He charges Advo-
cate General Holt with attempting. by "a
vict him of crimes he had not committed. He
alleges that the Government resorted to the
awful baseness of trying to suborn Wirz, by
promise of his life, to criminate the President
vile prisoners" And finally he lays the
whole blame of the horrors of the prison pen
upon Gen. Grants refusal to exchange. Thus
Mr.. Davis throws down a gage which the
North can hardly avoid taking up. The liv-
Ing witnesses to whom he appeals will be call
ed upon for their testimony. We shall have
the official reports on both sides, if both sides
can be obtained. Probably even such evidence
will not settle controversy which has pro-
voked more deep-seated and enduring bitter
ness than any other bitterness of the war but |
it will revive many sleeping hatred, and |
break many a new bond of friendship.-[N. |

Reverdy johnson Found Dead.

BALTIMORE, February l0.-Reverdy
johnson, the distinguished statesman
and jurist was found dead this evening
at Sis in the grounds surrounding the
executive mansion at Annapolis. Mr..
johnson was the guest of Gov. Carroll
and dined this afternoon with other
gentlemen at the executive mansion.
He was found dead in the yard by a
servant.
ANNAPOLIS, February10.-Mr.John-
son came here last night, to argue the
Case Of Baker vs.. Frick, argued in the
Court OF Appeals to-day, and by invita-
tiOn Of Governor Carroll he became his
guest at the Executive Mansion to-day.
The Governor invited Chief Justice
Barton, of this State, and several other
gentlemen to meet Mr.. Johnson at din
ner. They dined about P. NJ, and
Mr.. johnson appeared in excellent
spirits and his usual health, and enter
tanned the company by his conver-
sation and relating anecdotes. AT
dinner he took one glass of Madeira,
and refused any more. After dinner
he suddenly asked the Governor to
take him into the parlOr. He took the
Governors arm and walked in there
quest of Mr.. johnson the Governor re-
Joined the guests at the table. Shortly
after servant appeared at the door
and beckOning the Governor out, told
him Mr.. johnson was laying in the
yard on the stones. Gov. Carroll went
immediately to the place and found
Mr.. johnson lying ON the cObble stone
carriage way that passes under the
porch of the mansion, close up to the
wall and near the door leading to the
basement. He had evidently gone
down from the steps and around to the
side of the house and fallen where he
was found. This was about 8:15 P. NJ,
and the impression is that he had been
there at least half an hour. He was
then dead, and was bleeding proiusely
from wounds on the ri hit side of the
head and face. His body was at once
removed into the basement room, and
physicians summoned. DIR. w. g..
Tuck was the first to arrive, and after
examining the body pronounce life ex-
tinct. Drs. Ridient and Cloude arrived
afterwards. There are two large wounds
ON the right side of the forehead, two
fractures of the skull from the upper
portion of the forehead to the eyebrow,
dislOcatiOn of the fingers of the left
hand and cuts and bruises on the hands
and legs. Physicians are examining
the body to determine the cause of his
death.
Mr.. johnson would have been sol
years old next May.

IT goes sadly against Russia's grain
to be compelled to admit that her
breadstuff producing regions have been
completely outstripped in the compe-
titive race with the United States.
The latest statistics show that while
nine years ago, foriy-four per cent Of
the grain exported to England came
from Russia and only fourteen per cent
from America, now forty-four per cent
is received from us and but twenty-one
per cent from Russia. The Odessa
merchants are fearful that matters will
be still worse in the future, and are re-
ported as being ''lost in painful thought
when considering the quantity of corn
America will soon be enabled to ex-
port"
THAT energetic paper, the Chicago
Times has got one eye open, and here
is what it sees. 1t says:
1t is becoming daily more evident
that what SagaciOuS men anticipated
Lefore the meeting of Congress will be
realized, namely, that this Congress
will not even seriously attempt to take
one step on the way of placing the vast
commercial and industrial interests of
the country once more on stable and
safe foundation of honest money. 1t is
becoming daily more evident that the
majority of the controlling combination
in the House, instead of being compo
sed Of men actuated by an honest de-
sire to reutrn to the rule of economy, ia
composed of men who favor a rule of
fraud, which converts the nation, in
spite of its better desire, into nation of
gamblers and rOgues.
Congress has been in session nearly
two months. Two months more of
like performance and non-performance
will probably serve to satisfy the most
trusting believer in the ability of hu-
man nature to remodel itself that the
country has had enough OF that crowd.
What will it say when the other eye
sheds its scales?

Cure for a Sick Cow.

For the benefit of my brother farm
ers by whose contributions have been
much benefited, will send you a re-
cipe for the cure of a bovine which has
taken cold or lost its appetite in any
way, and it is also good for the disease
termed shollow-horn" or ''horn-ail."
Take two pieces of salt pork, about the
size of the two fore-fingers, split them
oren and put in each q teaspOonful OF
cayenne pepper, stand on the right
hand side of the animal, and elevate
the laws with the left arm, and put the
pork between the grinders with the
right hand, keeping the jaws elevated
till the dose is chewed and swallowed,
only putting in one piece at a time.
After they are administered give two
more pieces of the same size If you
choose without the pepper, and il the
animal seems affected by cold, give
water with the chill taken Of to drink
and put on a warm blanket. I have no
doubt that saved the life of valu-
able COW by the above procedure.-LH.

objection Of Attorney General had
questioned the evidence Of one of Mr..

We have been on the lookout for great
Democratic principles. We have discovered
some points, but not enough to equip great
party for National campaign.
The first point is that the Democratic party
is devoted to the Confederate theory of State
rights.
The second point is that the Democratic
party is in favor of all the jobs called improve
ments that have been fixed upon in the late
Southern Confederacy.
The third point Is that, as the majority of
Democratic members of Congress, and the
backbone of the party itself, are of the section
late in rebellion, it is the rebellious part of
the country that must govern the whole coun-
try if the Democratic party comes into power.
