DID JEFFERSON DA Wis SAVE AN
DREW JOHNSON'S LIE?

Had President Johnson a special rea-
son for sparing the life of Jefferson Da.
Wis, and delaying his trial till popular
excitement had in measure subsidized?
This question the Atlanta Constitution,
in recent issue, puts and undertakes to
answer, adduCing documents copied from
the originals in Pre- 'ident Johnson's pos
session. The first is letter to the Pres
ident from Humphrey Marshall, dated
April 26, 1866, and inclosing the state
ment from Alexander G. Greenwood, of
New Orleans, then engaged in the ser
vice of New York firm, but during the
war Colonel in the Confederate army.
He was not friend of Mr.. Davis's, con-
sidering that he had been unfairly treat
ed by him during the war. This state
ment was to the effect that cont piracy
had been entered into at Bristol, Tenn,
in 1861, to hang Mr.. Johnson on his re-
turn from Washington, the people being
infuriated because of his great Union
speech in the Senate, but that President
Davis, hearing of the danger that threat
ened, warned Greenwood of it, and or
dered him to run the train on to Jones
borough, thus battling the lynchers. In
inclosing this, Mr.. Marshall wrote to Mr..
Johnson:
l know, were 1 in your place, and
such facts we're connected with me or a
crisis in my life, and he who had 30 serv-
ed me was situated as Davis is, should
like to know the facts. l write then,
more in kindness to you than to your
state prisoner.

In his grafton at the Burgoyne Cen
tennial, Governor Seymour spoke as fol-
lows of that eminent man of the Revolu.
ton, Gen. Philip Schuyler
The judgment of George Washington
and of the patriots who surrounded him
with regard to men of their own day and
affairs with which they were familiar
cannot be shaken by those who seek to
revive exploded scandals and unfounded
suspicious. The character of General
Schuyler grows brighter in public regard.
The injustice done him by his removal
from his command, at time when his
zeal and ability had placed victory al
most within his reach, is not perhaps to
be regretted. We could not we'll lose
from our history his example of patriot
ism and of personal honor and chivalry.
We could not spare the proof which his
case furnishes, that virtue triumphs in
the end. We would not change. if we
conld, the history of his trials. For we
feel that in the end they gave lustre to
his character, and we are forced to say
of Gen. Schuyler that, while he had been
greatly wronged, he had never been in
jured.
The fact is, that Gates got the glory of
Burgoyne's defeat when he by no means
deserved it, To such height of popu-
larity did Gates rise after this, that an
effort was made to displace Washington
and make Gates commander.in.c chief.
His high reputation, was, however, short
lived. He was sent South to demolish
CORVALLIS, but instead of that Cornwall
lis defeated Gates at Camden, who acted
disgracefully, in being one of the first to
run, and did not stop till he had put fifty
or sixty miles between himself and
CORVALLIS. 1t was here that the gallant
Dekalb was killed, for he and his gallant
regiment stood their ground, hoping that
the militia would rally and come to their
help and redeem the fortunes ofthe day.
If Gates had acted like brave officer
something might have been done.

THEDLARY ORA SIEGE.


One OF the most remarkable episodes of
the present war, which, however, has not
as yet received all the attention it de-
serves, is the defense Of the fort of Bay
ezid in Armenia by Russian garrison,
600 strong, g,against Turkish army num-
bering 10000 men. The Moscow Gazette
gives the following interesting extracts
from the private journal of one of the Off
GERS of the garrison: June l0.-The en-
emy has blockaded us on all sides, and
intercepted the aqueducts. One cistern
and few bags of biscuits is all we have
to live on. At night by the light Of the
burning town beneath us, we saw the
atrocities perpetrated by the Kurds on
the helpless inhabitants. 1t was horrible
beyond description. Women and chill
dren were thrust aliveinto the flames and
carried about the streets on lances, ,horri.
bly, mutilated and shrieking with anguish.

our officers was quite overcome by it and
had an attack of brain fever that night,

claiming the seat on the certificates of the
Packard government, now no more.
Judge Spoford stated orally that he
rested his case upon the facts, which
were known to the world, of what had
occurred in Louisiana. There was but
one government there now. He repre-
sented that government. AT the date of
Mr.. Kellogg's credentials there were
two governments, each striving which
should be the government.
Mr.. MITCHELL the chairman, asked
Judge Spofford if he correctly under
stood him to rest his title on events that
had occurred since the meeting of the
Legislature,
Judge Spofford replied in the afirma-
tive, after which the Commission asked
him to put his views in writing, and
then went into Executive session.

TRIAL OF THE READING RIOTERS
"A SURPRISING VERDICT.

READING, Pa, October 19.-The business
portion of the community was astounded
when the jury trying the riot cases ofSun-
day night of July 22,returned a verdict to.
day Of not guilty"in the cases, except one,
making thirteen not guilty on that indict-
ment alone. The one not acquitted was
George E. Goodhart proprietor of a saloon
and the jury found him guilty of melting
to riot. No such crime is recognized In
the laws Of this State. One who incites
to riot becomes a principal, and no one
man alone can be convicted of riot in the
case under consideration. 1t is not prob
able that Goodhart will be sentenced.
Business men and property holders
generally are greatly indignant from the
fact that, out of the seventy arrested as
being concerned in the riots and incen
diarism of that terrible Sunday night, but
two are now held. and they themselves
pleaded guilty-Samuel Humphreys and
Edmund Smith. That night trains were
detained, engineers stoned, tracks barri-
caded, cabooses, freight cars and mag.
nifcent bridge burned, all amounting to
about one hundred thousand dollars lost.
Humphreys and Smith pleaded guilty on.
ly to the burning.
To-day forty more alleged rioters of
Monday, July 23,were marched into Court
under strong guard of armed police.
Their trials will commence next Monday,
The prosecution are greatly discouraged,
and there is no telling but what every one
of the accused will be acquitted, with
probably two exceptions.
Law-abiding citizens are becoming
alarmed at the state of affairs. Three

A call was published this afternoon in
viting all the friends of those who were
shot dead by the military during the riots,
and all who we're wounded and are able
to come.to assemble tomorrow afternoon
for the purpose of taking steps to bring
suit against the military commanders, and
those who were instrumental in having

The New York Herald sings funeral
song over the dead body of the Republi.
can party. 1t recites
In the west its conventions cannot
make up their minds as to whether it is
honest or not to pay ones debts. In
Pennsylvania its existence is dependent
upon the will of spectators in railways
and the ambition of the House of Cam
eron. In Maine it is the personal prop.
erty of Mr. Blaine, and responds to the
necessities of that shifty and necessitous
statesman. In New York it is rent in
twain by the rivalry of Evarts and
COnkliDg. Wherever we look we see
the party in trouble. Old leaders are
abandoning it. The ancient enthusiasm
has died away. Rings here and rings
there mar its discipline. The tremen-
dous personality of Grant, which was to
it's organization what Marlborough was
to parties under Queen Anne, or what
Wellington was TO parties under George
lV., no longer sway it, and where Cesar
was master yesterday, twenty bastard
Caesars are struggling for his sceptre
and his crown.
