We have nowhere seen such terse and
,,ahins review Of JEFF Davis speech to
,hr Mississippi editors the other day as we
find in Yesterdays Cincinnati Commercial.
lls iorrc consists in the exact justice which
it does to the author. Says the CONNER
cm: ........
"The size Of Jetr. Davis appeared in his
yirious little speech to the editors at Pas.
,agona. He had never, he said, seen q
southern woman reconstructed. This was
n hoas, that the South was still, through
the influence Of the women, enraptured
with the rebellion. 1t was boast and dc.
fianrr, and an attempt to keep alive and
cultivate all the hatrCds aroused during
the war. The next point Of JEFF. was
that he had been u friend OF Mississippi
Ilr loved Mississippi He had been her
friend when he was in chains. Not a
word about his country. The speech was
as narrow, mean and malevolent as could
possibly have been made, and shows that
Davis is the same small man he was be-
lore the war, for which he was more re.
sponsble than any other man, and which
III his side lie miSlnanaged, through his
yanllies and irritatiOns, until the Southern
people should have hanged him on their
own account"
There is "a continual whine coming up
irom the South about the injustice Of pub
liz sentiment at the North in regard TO
JrlI. And Northern Democrats affect to
believe that jeff has been reconstructed,
and are always berating the hostility of
Republicans toward him. The truth is
that JeI Davis has been always best shown
up by his own rebel utterances at the
South since the war, whenever an eppor-
iunity occurred to express himself lie is
As tnlI Of enmity to the results OF the war
AS he was to the Union ut any time during
the thickcst of the rebellion.

NEw YoRE, June 10. The Rev. Henry

among large number OF members Of the

means controlling, opposition to his cleo

WAslnSGTOS, June l0.-Before the pas.
sage Of the judicial bill in the House to-
day, the Republicans succeeded in show
ing Conclusively that it did not make sutli-
cient appropriations to enable the courts
to do efficient work. The Democrats,
however, would not give away oil any
point, there being bitter feeling on the
part OF all the extreme men that there had
already been lar too much yielding 10 the
Republicans.
There has, in fact, been SO much of this
that it may now be possible for the Presi-
dent to signit.
The GrGenbaCkers were treated 10 the
"cut direct" by a solid Democratic vote
against m amendment proposed by
Weaver, to the effect that the Greenback
party should be recognized in tho section
concerning the drawing Of jurors, in the
same manner as the two other parties.
The Democrats hooted ut this idea, al
though the Republicans voted solidly for
it. @
There is nothing in the bill, as passed,
which prohibits the appointment OF Su-
pervisors and Deputy Marshals, but no
money is appropriated for the latter class.
Supervisors are paid under permanent
appropriation, The army bill will be
taken up tomorrow. The majority Of the
Republicans will vote for It.
