onel of the Twenty-third infantry and brevet
brigadier general, United States army. died

lungs.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
Gen. Jefferson @. Davis was born in Clark
county, Ind, March O. 1928. and was therefore
nearly 50 years of age at the time of his death.
He left the seminary in his native county
upon tho breaking out of the Mexican war to
join Col. j. 81. Lanes reg iment, participated in
the battle of Buena Vista and in the entire
Mexican campaign, for gallant conduct during
which he was, on June H., 1848, made
first lieutenant of the Second United States
Artillery. He became first ieu-
tenant of the company in 1852, had charge Of
the first garrison placed in Fort Sumter in
August, 1858, and was there during the
he was promoted to captain of artillery, and
shortly after appointed TO be colonel of the
Twenty-second Indiana volunteers. Joining
Gen. Fremont in Missours, he was given the
command of brigade, holding the
same positions under Gems. Hunter
and Pope. For gallant conduct at Milford
that State, where he captured superior force
was made brigadier general Dec Is, 1861. and
at the battle of Pea Ridge commanded one of
the four divisions of Gen. Curtis army. On
March 7, 1862, his division fought the battle of
Leetown, one Of the most sanguinary and de-
oisive of the war. The next day he stormed
and carried the heights of Elkhorn, capturing
five cannon, and deciding the battle of Pea
Ridge against the rebels. He was then trans
fcrred to Gen. Halleck's army at Corinth,

army. After being short time in arrest,
he was restored to duty and ordered
to Covington, Kentucky. At the battle
of Stone river his division had the center of
the line, doing gallant service under his in
spring leadership, for which he was strongly
recommended for promotion to major gener-
alship. Subsequently he was in the bat
tie of Chickamauga, the Atlanta cam
paign, and commanded the Fourteenth corps
in Sherman's march to the sea. He was
breveted major general, q. s. A., March 10,
1865, and appointed colonel of the Twenty
third infantry July %, 1866.

SECRETARY HERMI N,S REPORT.

SECRETARY SHERMIN,S REPORT.
The report of the secretary of the treasury
has been published. 1t is an important doc
ument probably the most important that
has been issued from the department for
many years. The tabulated statements of
the condition and future prospects of the
treasury will be valuable for reference, and
national finances, for the receipts of the past
year are shown to be more than equal to the
expenditures, while the promise for the two
succeeding years is bright with the hope of
far larger surplus, giving hope of the extin-
guishment of an important fraction of the
national debt. Yet the estimates for. the
future indicate a disposition to live up to
the limit of the income of the government
very reprehensible inclination indeed. The
secretary asks too much for tho expenses of the
army,and too much for the navy-a perfect
ly useless branch of the service. Congress
will, however, take his estimates in hand
and trim them down to such proportions as
will leave still larger balance on hand
which can be devoted to the extinguishment
of the national debt
Mr.. Sherman's self-gratulation on the
success of the funding operations is per-
haps excusable. It would be natural in any
person similarly placed to feel great salts
faction at a reduction of the rate of interest
amounting in the aggregate to nearly two
per cent, and saving in the annual interest
of nearly ten millions of dollars. He re-
trains, however, from statement giving the
amounts paid in bonuses, such as double in
terest, commissions, etc., in order to bring
about the desired result. Had he included
such statement, he would not have made
as good showing for himself as he does.
On the silver question Mr.. Sherman ex-
hibits his usual perversity. He declares that
the present coinage of silver is excessive,
and that to permit of unlimited coinage
would be equivalent to driving gold from
circulation, and depreciate the silver cur
rency to its bullion value. His argument is
fallacious from the fact that though gold is
nominally part of the circulating medium
of the country, it Is not 80 in fact. Gold is
seldom seen in the ordinary transactions of
business, and cannot be fairly. reckoned as
belonging to the currency. Again, Mr..
Sherman ignores the fact that the guaran-
tee of the government gives value to the
money in circulation, and that that guaran-
tee is as good upon piece of silver as upon
a piece of paper. If we follow his argu-
ment to its legitimate result We must con-
clude that the paper currency will soon be
deprecated to the value of waste paper.
He further asserts that every effort has
been made by. his department to
secure the general circulation of silver, but,
nevertheless, but little more than thirteen

CoLFAx it is said, advised Grant recently
to 90 to lecturing as means of making q
livelihood, instancing the fact that he had
made forty thousand dollars in the business.
While admitting that he could write better
lecture than Colfax, Grant declared that
there were other requisites than brains for
successful lecturers, and thus caused the
chronic smile to vanish from the facs of the
ex-vice president.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 26.-Jay Gould's
great railroad programme is being gradually
unfolded. The St. Joe g. Denver, which has
been extended to connection at Grand Island
with the Union Pacific, is to have another ex-
tension of much greater Importance, Gould
and his associates having purchased that part
of the central branch which lies west of Water
vile. 1t is to be extended westward along the
south bank of the Solomon river through the
counties of Graham and Sheridan to a connec-
ton with the Kansas Pacific road at Monument.
The gap of thirty miles between Marysville and
Waterville, to be built at once, will form an
important through line to be operated by the
St. Joe & Denver. Waterville, on the central
branch. and Monument, on the Kansas Pacific,
are beyond the points to which the government
paid subsidy for the construction of these
roads,

HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION.


LONDON, Nov. 3O.-The gathering in Hyde
park, to-day. in response to . call for an or
ganized demonstration in favor of tho Irish
agitators, consisted of an immense mob. A
fair sprinkling of green favors was observable,
but by far the greater number of persons pres
emit seemed to be attracted more by curiosity
than by sympathy. goodly number of bands
of music enlivened the march from Trafalgar
square and many banners were displayed, but
not all of these belonged to hcme rule
associations. The procession was swollen by
the T!chborne Release association, the DEM
ocratic Workingmen's club and similar bodies
not in any way connected with Ireland or Irish
agitation. The orators of these outside asso-
Citations addressed separate groups, while the
main meeting was in progress in the park.
One of the principal speakers of the Irish sym
pathy meeting proper was William Archer
Redmond, home rule member for Wexford.
The speakers here were surrounded by dense
throng which cheered so enthusiastically as to
render the speeches utterly inaudible, except,
perhaps, to those on the stand. The resolu-
tions protesting against the recent arrest of
Irish agitators, and favoring peasant proprie-
tary in Ireland, were carried by reclamation.
The less noted speakers, particularly those at
the meeting, used most seditious language
and their utterances seemed to
the maintenance of order. Only about three
policemen were in the vicinity of the meeting.
When darkness came the throng dispersed and
the delegates marched back to their respective
headquarters with their bands playing Irish
airs. 1t is estimated 10000 people were pres
ent.
COUNTY MAYO ABLAZE.

present. DAILY was enthusiastically
present taking notes. The gathering number
ed about ten thousand persons. In the course
of his speech Daily said he did not advise the

DISPATCHES from Washington represent
the Southern members of both houses of
Congress who have arrived there as decidedly
opposed to the re-opening of the issues that
engaged the attention of those bodies at the
extra session. In this, perhaps, they are
wise. 1t is questionable if any thorough
change can be effected as long as Mr.. Hayes
occupies the executive chair, no matter
what may be the action of Congress, and it
is probably best that action be deferred
until such time as both the executive and
legislative branches of the government are
in harmony.

follows:
CIRCULAR.
ST.. PAUL, Minnesota, Nov. %, 1870.
To whom it may concern
In the contested election case arising in this
Congressional district, between Ignatius Don
nelly and William D. Washburn, the counsel
and friends of Mr.. Washburu are, we learn, in
their printed brief, and otherwise, trying to
mako it appear that the Democracy of the
Third Congressional district did not desire the
election of Mr.. Donnelly, and do not now ask
that he be seated their representative.
We do not see as this has anything to do with
the merits of the controversy; and we cannot
believe the House of Representatives will list
on to any such partisan appeals; but siace the
issue IS raised We feel that it is due to the
Democracy of the district we'll as to our
selves their official representatives, to
state that, with the exception of few indi-
viduals who are personally hostile to Mr.. Don
nelly, or who held friendly or business rela-
tions with MIR. Washburn, the Democracy
of the Third district cordially and heartily
supported MIR. Donnelly il the election and
now earnestly and almost unanimously desire
his success in the pending contest.
They believe that if money had been
spent against him, he, Mr.. Donnelly, would
have received n certificate of election; and that
corruption apart-he was really elected.
His nomination was the result of a spouta-
neous cooperation of the Democrats and Green
hackers of the district, without any solicita-
ton on his part. ROBERT A. SMITH,

The only Democratic daily published in the
State of Minnesota.
We have every reason to believe that this
circular is genuine document, and it was
called forth by the extraordinary attempt of
Mr. Washburn to retain his seat, not be-
cause he was innocent of bribery, but on the
grounds that some Democrats are opposed
to Mr.. Donnelly. As the GLOBE has repeat
eddy stated, this whole matter is not personal
to Mr.. Donnelly. His personal success or
failure is of no consequence, but it is i'm
portant to deter nine whether the popular
will is to be overthrown by the corrupt use
of money.
The Minneapolis morning newspap ar
which prints the circular follows it with the
usual cry that it is absurd for Washburn's
seat to be contested, because he has three
thousand majority, This is the constant
cry of the Washburn gang, but it should
deceive no one. The ground for ousting
Washburn is that he bought his election
Everyone admits that he received a majority
of the votes cast, and at the same time any
honest man who is familiar with that can
vass, whether Republican or Democrat, will
concede that he would have been defeated
