JEFF. DIPIS INTER WE'D.

The Boston Uc,uIG of recent
date contained an interview with
MIR. jeff. Davis. He is represented
as saying, in referring to the gener-
al belief which exists ut the North
that he was chiefly responsible for
the late war, that he WAS but one Of
a vast body Of the South, and no
more responsible than thousands of
others; that the war would have
taken place without him as inevit;,-
bly, as it did with him. Ultimately,
be comedies that the abolition Of
slavery Will result il gool 70 the
South, but that the condition OF tAc
present generation OF the black
race is all the worse for emNncipa-
! tiJn. He doubts the wis lom Of an
| attempt to e;iuc:itc tAe negro, and
d.soelcvcs in giving him the bAl-
