THAT Jefferson Davis should make re-
ply to the accusations brought against him in
connection with the treatment of prisoners of
war was to be expected. Certainly no obec-
tion can be made to that. But if the de-
fence advanced by him is the strongest that
can be made he would have done as well to
remain silent. There is overwhelming testi-
mony as to his responsibility for the Ander-
sonville atrocity, and quite as strong test-
mony as to the general good treatment of
rebels in Northern prisons. Curiously enough
the same issue of the PRESS which contained
the letter of Jefferson Davis stating that the
National authorities permitted the rebels to
send cotton to New York to exchange for
supplies for their imprisoned soldiers, con-
tanned letter from Neal Dow stating of his
own knowledge that the supplies sent from
the North to Union prisoners in the South
were confscated by the Southerners for their
own use. That illustrates the difference in
