Jeff. Davis Charged with Falsifying

JUL. OdVlS OudISo WIIu u1oAl J AhS1
The screed of "the grayed eyed
man of distiny." read at the Macon
meeting, does not receive favor at the
hands of some Democratic editors,
who are unwilling to endorse his fall
sifcation of historic facts. The edi-
tor of the ST. Louis Republican IA
Democratic paper thus comments
upon this last effusion of the extinct
jefferson:
fLtfs not true, as Mr.. Davis init
mates, rather than openly asserts,
that the Union cause was war
waged for the robber-like purpose of
conquest The history Of the past
13 years, discreditable as portion Of
it must be admitted to be, and more
particularly, the present attitude of
the Southern people, emphatically
disprove it. Not only have all the
victorious Federal armies been
withdrawn from the South; not only
has the South been completely re
stored to the Southern people, with
only such changes as the war itself
made; but the vanquished have been
recognized as the coequalS the con-
querors in the Federal household {:
nay more than this, champions of
the lost cause are the chosen Cover
nors of the Southern States, and to,
day, there are over one hundred par
tisans of the lost cause sitting in the
United States Congress assisting to
make laws for the country. The
vanquished people have their full
voice in the conduct of the victorious
Government; they have done much
to modify its policy it is even some
times said that they control that
policy ; and it is certain that they are
so well satisfied with the marked adj
vantages and privileges of their
present condition, that they could
not be persuaded to exchange them
for the independence they 50 gallant
ly and eXhaustiyely strove for II
years ago. In fact, after all that has
been, and can be said about the
matter, it will have to be admitted
that the Northern people have proved
the most gentle and benign victors
that the whole history Of modern
human struggles presents"

On the night of the 9Th instant Their

On the night of the 9th instant there
was a general Jail delivery at Rock
vile, all the occupants-two horse
thieves and three petty offenders
making their escape. The prisoners
had the liberty of the entire prison
part of the Jail, with the exception of
one room, where the tools for repair
ing the Jail were kept. This room
was fastened by common paddock.
The prisoners picked this lock with a
nail and obtained rope. They fast
ened this rope to barred window in
the second story, on level with the
top of the yard wall and a foot and a
half from the wall, threw it into the
yard, and then gained entrance into
the yard by forcing the door leading
from the Jail into the yard. BY
means of the rope they climed to the
window, and easily stepped to the
top of the wall and jumped to the
ground ouside, height Of about
twenty-five feet. No news has yet
been received from the escaped.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-05-18
Southern Claims.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
"It requires no prophetic eye to
see that one of the most important
questions now before the country, if
not indeed, the most important, is
that relating to the nations liability
for losses caused by the armies in the
South during the late war. 1t is not
new one, by any means, for when
our erring Southern brethren accep-
ted the olive branch of peace with
one hand, they also presented the
other filled with claims for the losses
sustained by them in their unfortu-
nate enterprise. Gradually these
claims have been rolling in. During
the decade that followed the close of
the war they came less rapidly; but
since the Democratic secured control
gains in the Senate, they have poured
in with speed that is quite astound-
ing. Nearly one third of all the bills
introduced in both houses during the
present session have come from the
South. and are demands for reim-
bursement for property destroyed, it
is alleged, by our troops, for cotton
tax and for pensioners living in that
section. The New York Tribune has
published list of these claims and
their amounts, and the figures are
starting. The public claims for
damages done to State, county and
municipal property, and for aid in
the construction Of public improve
ments, foots up Sl92, 100000. The
private claims presented in the same
time amount to S10.247 ,793-making
total of claims actually presented
during the present session ofupwards
of S202, 100000.
"But this is not all. In this emu
meration no account is taken of the
stacks of money demands now be-
fore the Court CT Claims. nor of the
cotton tax, captured property, and
army supply claims. Judge Barley,
who appears as an attorney for a
large number of the private claimants
has recently written letter, in
which he gives his estimate of these
last three classes, as follows:-
Amount ofcotton tax..................SS $1,000 900
Balance of captured and abandoned
properly l3OOO,OOO
Army supply claims.................... 20,000,000
Grand total OOO,OOO
"Adding this to the above amount
shows that the modest demands of
the South till now amount to about
1920, 900, 600. 1t is not pretended that
this list covers the whole amount to
be asked for by the citizens of the late
Confederancy. 1t is but beginning.
If one Individual can bring in his
claim for injury done him by the
Union troops another can do the
same, and when there is a possibility
of getting money out of the public
treasury, it requires very small prov
ocation to make most people appear
as claimants. The hope, the belief
that the Democratic party is about to
secure control of the Government has
had a,wonderfully stimulating effect
on the Southern patriots. Each seems
anxious to enter his demand as early
as possible, for they all feel that be-
fore their cravings are satisfied the |
nation will be bankrupt, and in that |
event the last corners will fare
badly"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-05-18

1t is said that conference of
leading Democrats was held in this
city last Friday night to consider the
proposed action Of Congress in rela-
ton to the Florida election frauds.
The name of Mr.. Pelton appears in
the list of persons who were present.
Perhaps it would be we'll enough for
the investigators over in Washing
to look up the antecedents of Mr.. Pei
