LONDON, Fl iday. April 1. 1879.
A special supplement TO The London Gazette has
been issued containing dispatch from Lord
Chelmsford, inclo,ing report dated March from
tie Border Agent at Umyou, to the effect that
messengers from King CeycwayO had arrived there.
,gcyewayo asks the missionary bishop TO explain
that lac did not desire war, and was sending the
persons, whose surrender had been demanded by
the British to be delivered to the General at Rorkes
Drift when his messengers and pickets were hTed
upon and the battle unpremcditatedly occurred.
The Zulu General who permitted the bat
tie 10 occur is now in disgrace. Ccyewayo
now asks resumption of negotiations with view
to "A permanent settlement of all contested ques-
tiOns. The messengers, IN reply 10 questions,
stated that the Zulu army had dispersed to their
homes. -
The above confirms the reports which were cur
rent at Cape Town on March II, that Ceyewayo
had made 0vertures for peace which reports were
dscredited at the time The ovcTtuTes do not seem
to have caused more peaceful feeling.

SEDUCTION.
The Seducer of Miss Emily VOss Is
Found Guilty, and AdjudGed to
Pay Three Thousand Dollars
Damages. but he has no
Property whereOn
Execution can be
Fastened.

The hearing OF the seduction case of Miss
Emily Voss Us. John j. O'Brien, which has
b9en on hearing before Special Judge Fix
pm, at the circuit court, for several days, ard
which has created so much public feeling and
interest, closed yesterday The Jury was a6-
dressed by Me-. R. Dudley Frayser for the
plaintiff, and by General Wright and Mr.,
Folkes for the defendant Judge Flippin
delivered the charge, and the jury retired to
consider the verdict. On retiring to the jury
room, vote was at once taken as to the
guilt or the innocence of the defendant.
The twelve jurors voted him guilty of the
act of seduction; the next thing was to fix
the damages. Miss Voss had sued for five
thousand dollars, but the jury found for her
three Thousand dollars. Within fifteen min
utes after the jury was charged by the court,
a verdict for three thousand dollars damages
was returned. Miss Voss was exonerated
from the base charge of being a woman of
the town, which charge was attempted to be
sustained by the defendant The jury set
tied the question that John ]. O'Brien Sc
duced Miss Voss under promise of marriage,
and is the father of her child OF course
there is no expectation of collecting a cent
from the defendant, he having nothing upon
which an execution would hold for second.
The sensational case Is over unless the de-
PENDANT takes an appeal to the supreme court.
It was rumored last evening that civil and
criminal suits would be commenced against

JEFF DAVIS
As a Candidate for the United states
Senate-What the Radicals In
Washington Have to say
About 1t.

Washington special to the Cincinnati Com
mercial: "Well-informed Republicans from
Mississippi say there is no question but Jetfer-
son Davis will be returned to the United
States senate If he lives and his disabilities
are removed. All indications point very
strongly in that direction, and many Demo-
Gratis from the same State do not deny that
Davis will be candidate. They say it all rests
with him, and that If he is a candidate the
Mississippi Legislature cannot refuse to elect
him. The friends of Mr.. DAVIS here feel
little sore that his possible elevation to the
senate should afford amusement and comfort
to the Republicans. They say that Davis
was not an original secessionist, and that he
was no more responsible for the rebellion
than any one of thousand southern men who
might be named, many of whom are now
living, and some holding high positions under
the government. They allege that Davis
did No mere in support of the Confederacy
than Alexander II. Stephens, the Vice
President, who is received with open arms in
the government councils. Lamar, In recent
speech IN the senate, said that Davis did no
more for the success of the southern cause
than he (Lamar) did, only that Davis had
greater ability, but each did all that he
could. In reference to whether Davis will or
Will not be candidate, the recent speech
of his before the Mississippi Press asso-
citation is regarded as significant. He said
nothing which could be construed into bid
for the senatorship, nor was it necessary he
should, but the whole affair, and especially
his enthusiastic reception by the moulders
of public opinion in Mississippi. is con-
strued as meaning a great deal. 1t is said
by his friends that, should he be chosen to
the senate, his course will be such rs to dis
arm passion aud criticism; that he will rot
be in his seat three months before it will be
shown by his speeches and votes that his
presence is conducive to harmony and good
fellowship between the sections; in other
words, that he will become the leader of the
moderate men from his section, and that he
will win back the respect which he always
enjoyed in the north before the war.
1t is cited that, when the Vice President
of the Confederacy was returned to the house,
there were mutterings of discomfort and
sharp criticism In the north, but that he had
not been In his seat year before he became
one of the most popular of southern men,
viewed from northern standpoint, and to-
day no southern Democrat has the good will
and respect of the north to a greater degree
than Mr.. Stephens. None of the friends of
other candidates give credence to the report
that Davis will be a candidate, or that he
wants the place. They know very well that
If he manifests any desire in this direction he
will go In. There are a number of candi-
dates already in the field, among them A. r.
Singleton, at present a member of the house,
and General Walthall, popular ex Confed-
crate"
