4 Speech Worthy of MIR. Davis.
Mr., jefferson Davis said, in speech
at Mobile few days since:

Mr. jefferson Davis said, in a speech
at Mobile few days since:
For the honor Of the comrades
whose un,imGy death you mourn, for
respect due the cause you love, for the
hopes you feel in your ancestry, for the
hopes You cherish for your postewty,
let not your eyes revert constantly to
the past hut confronting the present
and looking periodically on to the
future, let your efforts be made to re-
par what has been injured, and build
again, higher and broader, on more
solid foundation, the temple Of human
liberty, after the model left yon by
your fathers. You engaged in no wal
for sectional aggrandisemont, you
fought no battles for personal ad,
vantage, you were prompted by no
malice, and your knlghtly escutcheon
is furnished by no sordid hate or de
sire for mean revenge, The war left
you stripped Of al! save honor, and
your chivalry was as incapable Of in.
llicting wrong as it was Of submitting
to it tamely,"

circles at Washington as indicating un
mistakably his purpose to contest the
title and the tenure Of Mr.. Hayes if the
period should ever arrive when such
contest can be conducted on the broad
ground of the merits OF the case, and
decided outside Of any partisan or per
sonal influences.

A NEW YORK TRAGEDY.

The New York papers have been largely
occupied for a week past in ferreting out the
facts and discussing the details OF fearful
tragedy that occurred in the Office OF Jewett
a. Sons, manufacturers of white lead and lin.
seed oil, on the corner Of Front street and
Burling slip, in that city. The firm consists
of J. w. Jewct, and his sons Orville ID. and
Chas. Jewett, and JOS A, Dean. 1t appears
to have been dong prosperous business, and
all the members were more or less wealthy.
except Orvillc d., who being not only dsso-
lutte and spendthrit but subject to fits of
alteration OF mind, the other members of the
firm were taking steps to have him excluded.
About | / O'Clock a. IN. on Thursday of last
week the members of the firm Except Orville)
we're IN the back Office on the ID floor, when
Orvllle came in and it is supposed the sub
iect of the dissolution Of the firm was discuss
ed, Charles leaving in the midst OF the talk
to attend TO some business. There was some
loud ralk, when Suddenly noise as OF pts.
toll being discharged was heard, Immediately
followed by fearful explosion. Presently
Mr. Dean came ont begrimed with SCOT,
dazed and evidently badly hurt. Being in a
faintng condition and unable to speak, he
was at once taken TO his home on Staten Is
land where he still remains confined to his
bed from his INJURIES but not SO badly hurt
as to be likely to die. On entering the office,
lying on the floor were found g. w. and Or
vile ID. Jewett the former dead and the 9TH
or so badly injured that he died 0 hours offer
ward. BY their side lay two revovers and a
dirk knife. The explosion was caused by
hand grenade, or conical shell, 0 inches
long and inches In diameter, by which the
elder Jewett seems to have been killed, the
other having several pistol wounds on his
person. As Mr.. Dean has been thus far un-
able or unwilling to make any statement as
to what occurred in the Office, the most gen.
orally received theory Is, that Orvlle Jewett,
in a fit of rage or insanity, or both, had, by q
pistol shot, exploded the grenade, and suppos-
ing he had killed the elder Jewett and Mr..
Dean, had then shot himself. There has been
a coroner's inquest IN progress since Satur-
day, but thus far no facts have been brought
to ligh; to contradict the above general theo-
ry of the murderous act of Orville Jewett and
his immediate attempt at self.destruction.
