only thing that can justify revolution Is
success. Unsuccessful revolution he calls
the worst of crimes, for those who inspire
it know that it means bloodshed and de-

them rests the great burden Of blood and

They have been forgiven, and elemency

SIGNHICANT.-In the memorable debate
in the Senate over the remains of JEFF Da-
Wis half dozen ex-Confederate Senators
defended the action Of Davis, and some of
them declared that they still held that States
have the right to secede. After all of these
eulogies upon Davis's character, after
Thurman's defence OF the man, the vote
was taken and every Northern Democratic
Senator voting, including Barnum and
Eaton of Connecticut. went on record in
favor of pensioning Davis. These men
would not have dared to vote as they did
six or eight years since. They do so now
because they are laboring under the I'M
preston that the associates or Mr.. Davis
are soon to control the Government.
