WASHINGTON, =. C., June l9.-Weh in-
formed Republicans from M,.-i-~irpi say
there is 10 question bat JEFF r4,,a Davis

if he lives and his disabilities are removed.
All Indications point very strongly in Ihrt
direction, and MANY Democrat, from the
same State do not deny that Davis will he
a candidate. they say il al rests with
him, and that II he is Il candidate the Mis-
si-sippi Legislature cannot refuse to elect
him. The friends OF Mr.. Davis here ieei a
little core that his possible elevation 10 the
Senate shOnld afford amuseInPnt and COM
fort to the Republicans. They saw that
Davis was not an original SeC--s'ODisi, ard

ale, said that Davis did no more for the
success of the Southern cause III "a he La
