Jefferson paws. memoirs.
A New York letter says

"A ACW OIh 1CflACI
"The Memoirs of Jefferson Davis''
are expected To appear next month.
For three years Mr.. Davis has been
at work ON this book. But for the
si0wnees Of his ainanuensis the man
usc7ipt would have been ready for
the printer over a year ago. Maj
Walthall, an ex-conieIerate soldier,
was ut first engaged TO assist Mr..
Davis, bat he proved unequal to the
task, and Judge Tenny, editor of
the "Annual Cyclopetlia, was sent
to Mississippi to complete the work
so long since begun. The effect of
this change was felt at once. The
first volume was soon nude ready
and dispatched North, and the sec
ond will be in the printers hands
either the last of this month or the
first of next. Mr.. Davis preface
has been written for some time, and
isone ofthe most interesting portions
ofhis book. These nefnoirs belOngtO
the subscription department Of APP
peton's, which is under the control
of j. G. Derby, who has been in the
publishing business for half Il centu-
nv. 1t was Mr. Derby's Southern
connections, believe, that got Mr.
Davis Memoirs for the Messrs. APP
pIeton. Other firms tried hard for
this rare morsel. Mr.. Davis has al
ready been paid a large sum of mon
ey on the book, and ii is estimated
that he will make the snug sum OF
100000 from it.

Mr.. WILSON is very severe in his

If the 'sgOverning class" is such a

what in the devil and Tom Walker

so hard to belong to this class? Does
he want to destroy human liberty:-

JUDGE BLACKS hast letter settles
Garfield. Tie says i'm substance
that Garfield acknowledged to him
that he had accepted both the stock
and the dividends, and that he, as
his counsel, advised him to acknowl-
edge it publicly, and put his defense
upon the ground that he did not UNI
derstand the character of the trans
action at the time. Instead of do
ing this, however, Garfield preferred
to swear that he never received
either the stock or the dividends.
Judge Black has been a witness for
the republicans. They introduced
him. They accepted his first state
ment. They cannot now impeach
his credibility. They must accept
what he says. Garfield is convict
ed then by the testimony of his own
witness. He is convicted by the
Judgment of his own party. There
is no escape for him. The case is
plain. IF elected president he must
enter the White House with the
stain of corruption and perjury up
