JEFFERSON DAVIS FOR SENATOR.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The extraordina-
ry debate and proceedings in the Senate that
followed the motion to exclude Jefferson
Davis from the benefit of the Mexican pen.
sion bill, have given additional interest to the
report that his friends in Mississippi are
thinking of sending him to .the United
States Senate Judging from the converse
tions of the Mississippi delegation, it is possi-
BILE that Mr.. Davis will be the successor OF
the colored Senator (Bruce) from that State,
in March, 1881. A brief paragraph, stating
that there was such movement on foot, has
been going the rounds of the press for several
weeks. It was started by the very general
discussions the newspapers of Mississippi are
giving the question. Members Of the Missis-
sippi delegation in Congress inform your cor
respondent that the expression of the Demo
cratic papers of their State is universally in
favor of the election of Mr.. Davis to the Sen
ate. Several weeks ago one of the leading
papers of the State suggested the propriety Of
Mr.. Davis election, and the spontaneous wish
of the people of that State was given express
sion as above stated. There has been no con-
certed action, use of political clap-trap or
wire pulling of any kind whatever to secure
this end.
1t is claimed by Mississippi Democrats that
the election of Mr.. Davis would put an end to
the cry of Southern supremacy being danger
Gus to the welfare of the country. They con-
tend that Mr.. Davis, as natural result OF
his position at the head of the Confederacy,
gained the general reputation of being an
extreme and dangerous man, while in fact he
is, and always was, conservative thinker.
They recall that he was one of the strongest
and most persistent opponents of secession,
and only Joined the Confederacy after his
State had gone out of the Union; that he
did not resign his seat in the United States
Senate until he felt his duty to his State re-
quired that he should leave his place in the
Senate. If he should return to the Senate
now, they say he would soon, by his conduct,
show to the country that he is not the dragon
he has been painted. On the same principle,
these Southern men in Congress say that if
when they first came into power in the House
they had elected Southern man for Speaker,
the Radical cry of raid on the treasury,
and warning to the North to beware of
Southern supremacy, would, by the course Of
the Southern men in Congress, been refuted,
and the political issue of the Radicals wiped
out long before this time. Until the wrong
impression of the Northern mind regarding
the Southern people is thus cleared away,
there will be no peace in the country.
Mr.. Davis is now getting old, being In his

A MOVE IN LIFE.

In New York hotel, some twenty years
after the events chrouicled in the last chapter,
a young man sat one evening in a private
room, into which he had been ushered, on his
arrival, about an hour before.
He was a tall and remarkably fne-looking
young fellow, with certain air about him
which seemed to stamp him as foreigner !;
though there was nothing foreign-looking in
his physiognomy, which was of the frank,
cordial, refined, and somewhat delicate type
often met with among the youth of the higher
class in our Southern States. His complex

RE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
In speaking of PERSONS faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes OF glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide,
Some may have faults and who mas not !
The old as we'll as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell ysu of better plan,
And find it works full well;
To try nv own defects to cure
Before of others tell;
And though hope sometimes 10 oe
No worse than some l know,
NV own shortcomings bid me let
The faults Of others go.
Then let US all, when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may 90
To those we little know.
Remember curses, sometimes, like
Our chickens, 'roost at home;'
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.
