The Case of Jefferson Davis.

There is probably no man in America
who is the object OF such intense aversion
on the part OF so many persons as JErFER-
SON DAVIS. This Is due partly to the posi-
ton he held during the civil war; and
partly to certain peculiarities of his char
acter; and when Mr.. BLAINE recently
made his ferocious attack upon the PROPOSE
ton TO include him IN n new amnesty bill,
that shrewd politician knew very well that
he was addressing n very strong and very
deep sentiment, and that the EXTREMIST
bitterness and virulence which he might
display, would meet with an earnest re-
spouse in the minds of an immense body OF
people. That such feeling exists toward
Mr.. DAVIS more than toward any other one
among the men conspicuous in the South
ern Coniederacy ought not, however, TO
prevent the candid and the thoughtful
from rendering entire justice TO him both
rs n public functionary and ms "A man; and
his letter to Judge Lyons of Virginia,
which we published yesterday, contains an
appeal which we do not disregard.
This letter shows clearly, we think, that
the Confederate authorities, and especially
MI. DNvIs ought not to be held response
BILE for the terrible prvations, suflerings,
and injuries which our men had TO endure
while they were kept in the Confederate
military prisons. The fact is unquostion-
able that while the Confederates desired
to exchange prisoners, to send our men
home ana to get back their own. Gen.
GRANT steadily and strenuously resisted
such an exchange. While in his opin-
ion the prisoners in our hands were well
fed and were in better condition than
when they were captured, our prisoners in
the South were i'll fed and would be re-
stored to us too much exhausted by famine
and disease TO form a fair set of against
the comparatively vigorous men who would

Some of the Republican organs are
making "A feeble attempt to deny the truth
OF the reports that there is opposition to
Mr.. BRIsrow on the part of GRANT and III
the Cabinet, because OF the uurelenting
war of the Secretary of the Treasury on
the whiskey Rings. These dcnials are
couched in language that plainly indicates
that there is such an assault on Mr.. BRGs-
TOW in progress.
Whatever they may say, it is undoubted-
ly true that Mr.. BRIsrow' 5 zeal against the
whiskey thieves has made the Cabinet OF
GRANT hot place for him. We print this
morning n circumstantial account OF the
efforts OF members Of the Cabinet to check
mate Mr. BRIsTow, and to drive him from
the Treasury.
The removal OF Mr.. HENDERSON "a coun-
sci for the Government in the st. Louis
whiskey cases. caused n breach between
Secretary BRIsTow and Attorney-G oueral
PIERREPoNT, which, instead of healing, has
grown wider since the indictment of Bah
COCK. Mr.. PIERREroNT unwarrantedly in
terfered in the prosecution with a view TO
saving BABcoCK, aud Mr.. BRIsrow, like an
honest and determined man who was striv-
ing only TO do his duty without regard to
consequences, strenuously objected to such
interested interference GRANT, OF course,
us BABcocK's hacker, supports Mr.. PIERRE-
PoNT, and carries with him in the assault
against the Secretary OF the Treasury all
the other members of his Cabinet.
BRIsrow stands alone. but his position is
stronger than that OF his assailants, for he
Is intrenched behind truth and the conf
dence OF the people, while GRANT and the
Others are leagued together to ward OF
due punishment from public plunderer.

All these comprehensive preparations
for the revival having been looked after,
the work itself has now begun, the opening

this paper. The meetings will go on in the

are pretty sure to be crowded to the ut

There ha never been any other revival
so organized here; and even that which
has Just closed in Philadelphia was ordered
with less sagacity, skill, energy, aud COM
prehensivcness. Tho city of Now York Is
looked on IA the grand centre OF the
revival labor.

Some ministers hold and promulgate
queer ideas concerning the relations Of the divine
providence to human affairs. Here Is the Rev.
JoHN LoRD, saving, in lecture on MoHAMMED,
delivered last Monday at Association Hall:
An history goes to show that Christianity was as
sisted by the supernatural force communicated 10 M

A number Of citizens of Arkansas have

Enlistment OF United States District Court In

present, processes from the United States Court
for the Western District OF Arkansas run through
the Indian Territory, and this has been urged In
explanation of the enormous cost Of that court.
In fact, the greater portion Of the business done
In the Federal Court at Fort Smith has been that
in which occupants Of the Indian Territory have
been parties, and this has afforded opportunities
for stupendous frauds and the most outrage Gus
