mistake in the choice of material.
The northern papers of all shades of
politics are discussing the letter of Davis.
The Springfield Republican characteristics
it as the chickering's of an idiot" The
N. Y. Herald and Tribune both denounce
it in strong language. For, say what
they will, it is well understood that JEFF,
Davis does, in his bitterness and hartred
represent very large element of the
South. Such men, the party of which
they are component parts. are unsafe
to trust with the destinies of the nation.
If the people. of the country can see
how they express themselves they will
not be trusted.
There is really nothing of interest in
the proceedings of either House, or in
foreign affairs except that the Alfonsists
of Spain seem to be about to succeed in
driving the Carlists out of the country.
The Centennial appropriation has be-
come a law and the buildings are being
rapidly completed. The exposition at
Philadelphia will be the grandest that
the world ever saw. MAXWELL.

as Mr.. Davis assumes, that of the nIion
soldiers captured by them, taking the
whole number OF captures as basis
of calculation, the deaths among the
476, 169 confederates in our hands would
have been 81, 900, instead of 30, 15l; or
calculating it upon the reduced basis of
the prisoners retained in custody on both
sides, 70 wit, 227, $40 confederate priso-
ners III their hands, the mortality would
have been SS, 600 instead OF 30, 152, In
stead OF this the mortality is reversed,
and ont o. 072 prisoners in confinement
by the rebels, 80, 401 died, while ont of
227, $40 Ill the hands of the federais only
80, 152d.ed. In other words, nearly two out
of five, or thirty nine of each hundred,
died in their hands; while one in eight,
or thirteen of each one hundred, died in
ours. This shows the mortality to be
about three times as great among the
prisoners in their hands as among the
prisoners held by the federal author1-
ties
AS Jefferson Davis has appealed to
the records, let him be judge by them.
Is it not just that this crime against
humanity and common decency be
fastened upon its proper authors rather
than great, brave though mistaken
people should longer bear the stigma OF
these crimes, which surpass in needless
inhumanity oil the crueltles recorded IN
history2
fit be urged that the passion Gnd excite
ments which are incidents of war caused
this cruel treatment Of the living, this
explanation does not apply to the dead,
and does not explain the malignant man
ifestations of hatred displayed to wardthe
dead. have no space to enter upon the
discussion of the subject at large, but 1t
is sufficient to say that the total number
of unknown dead buried by the United
States authorities of rebel soldiers held
by them was only 726, while the total
unknown union soldiers dying in rebel
hands was 20, $50. These facts and figu-
res show, more plainly than any more
rhetoric can show. the miseries under
which union soldiers fingered and died.
In addition to this I might add testl-
mony from rebel sources to show the
needlessly crowed condition OF the
Andersonville prison, and that there was
no necessity for the starvation OF prlso-
ners; but have already trespassed too
much upon your columns in thus dis
proving the position assumed by MI.
Davis, by testimony to which he him
self has appealed.

THE BENEFICIARY CONTEST.

The deadlock in the Assembly, grow
ing out BENNErr-GRAY contest was bro
ken this forenoon about 8 O. clock, by the
bringing Of the missing member Mr..
PAIL, into the Assembly and the call
of members was had, when Jort,y-nine
arose in their places, and stated that
they had voted for the resolution, on
Thursday afternoon, declaring Mr..
JOSEPH BENNETT entitled to the seat oc-
cypied by Mr.. ANsLEY GRAY. There
being but forty-eight votes against the
resolution, it was declared adopted, and
Mr.. BENNETT became member from the
Northern District of Iowa county.
Thus ended contest that had kept the
Assembly in dead-l lock nearly twenty
four hours.
The whole point in the case was, the
Clerk made a mi5count, when the vote
was taken on the resolution, and report
ed 49 to 4S, tie, which defeated the
resolution. But investigation showed
that fortynine members voted for the re-
solution, and forty-nine names were re-
corded. No one has attempted to dis
pute this fact. Honorable dealing would
have permitted the Journal to have been
corrected, yesterday morning without
moments delay, III accordance with
the facts. But Mr.. GRAY, backed by
his party friends, seemed determined
that it should not be done and COM
menced a course of fllibustering, that
lasted throughout the day and the en-
tire night, and finally resulted in glor-
ious triumph for the Republicans. Our
friends stood nobly they were firm and
cool. and showed excellent pluck through
ont. They had the right on their side,
and they maintained it like honest and
true men. We heartily commend their
| conduct as being manly and just, and
congratulate them on their signal tri-
umph.
| In the first place, from the report of
| the committee on elections, there was no
doubt but MIR. BENNETT received ma
| iority of the legal votes in the district.
Next. there was no doupt but the reso-
luton declaring this to be the cause,
was adopted by vote of 49 to 48.
| Again, there was no doubt but it was
Just and right, that the error III the
count should be corrected. These three
points rendered firm the foundati Oh
upon which the Republicans stood. The
| opposition had no ground to stand upon
except desire to retain in the Assem-
| bly,, a member who was not elected. In
such q contest, it was right that the Re-
bublicanE hold out till the end Of the
session, rather than yield their .jtis1
grounds. They did hold ont, and they
won thanks to their firmness and
pluck Their course viii be subtained
by united people, when the facts are
| understood and the course of the De
mocracy will be as unitedly condemned!
