THE LAWYER OF MRS. DORSEY, who left her
money to Mr.. Jefferson Davis, has published
letter which ends In the following able manner:
"Would to God that her lustrous eyes could
wake from the lethargy of the grave and pierce
with their scornful glances the foul ghouls who
under the guise OF relationship, seek to biacken
her noble reputation, and to dim the halo that
shines around her name" This fine outburst ia
signed edward Howard Farrar" Mr.. Farrar
says that, as Mrs. Dorsey's solicitor he drew up
the Will; that she was not worth more than
$3O, 600; that she had intended to endow In some
american college "a chair of Sanscrit language
literature and religion, her own profound
studies having been turned In that direction for
many years." that she changed her mind and
Dequeathed her property to Mr.. Davis, because
she wanted him to go on with his History OF the
ReDei!ion unhindered by any want OF money:
and that she had done all for her relations
which she felt bound to do. Mr. Farrar is
strongly OF the opinion that the will is a SOUND
Will, and says that, according to the code of
Louisiana, evidence cannot be given OF "the
disposition having been made through hatred,
anger, suggestions or captatiOn." lie afrirms
That the talk about the undue intiuence ia
"senile and juvenile babble;" and, altogether.
ne seems ready for the toughest kind OF fight in
defence OF Mrs. Dorsey's will, and MIR. Davis

longed contest will soon use up the estate. 50
