Ris Reply TO the Charges In JefTer.
son Davis Book

The New York Posts Washington cor
respondent telegraphs as follows: 90
seph E. Johnston tells me to-day, in re-
ference to the disparaging statements
which Jefferson Davis has made of him
in his recent book, that he has not seen
the book yet, but only such extracts as
some newspapers have published, as well
as the report of General Sherman's re-
marks. He said he did not think that
when he come to read the book he
should feel 1t necessary to make any pub
lie statement in contradiction of any
thing that Davis might say regarding
him. He did not believe that Davis
could or would say anything rejecting on
his personal character. He, however, was
quite willing to make such a hasty and
informed denial of Davis statement as a
brief interview would allow. In the first
place, in regard to the charge that he
ought, after the first victory of Bull Run,
to have taken his army into Washington,
he said that that came of the hue and
cry raised at the South a little after the
battle. Davis knew very well that it was
impossible for him to have done it.
because there was a river mile wide
which 1t was necessary to cross before
the city could be taken. This was so
palpable thing that the idea entered
neither his head nor Beauregards, and,
If Davis thought of it, he said nothing
OF it IN the forty hours he was at Manas-
sas. In addition, the Confederate
army was in no shape to undertake
the task. The mass of the Confeder.
ate army supposed the war had ended
with that battle, and were disorganized.
In regard to another charge. that he had
yielded the command to Beauregard.
General Johnston characterized it as ab.
solutely false, and added that if Davis
had made such statement, he made
one which he must have known was in
correct. Touching the charge that he
had violated Davis orders, and refused
to invade East Tennessee, he said that
he did receive such orders, and at time
when it was absolutely impossible to
execute them. He was in North Caro-.
lima with an army of 10000 and his or
ders required him to provide wagons,
horses, provisions. and other means of
transporting an army of 10000. In
order to get these necessaries most of |
them must have come from Atlanta and |
beyond. Sherman was at Chattanooga
with his army, and he would have pre-
vented the execution of this plan. john |
ston informed his spperiors that the only |
way to invade East Tennessee was first |
to receive Sherman's attack in the neigh |
borhood of Atlanta, defeat him, and |
then undertake the invasion. He moved |
his army toward Atlanta, prepared for
battle, and before an action took place
was superiored by Hood, and, when
Hood subsequently evacuated Atlanta /
Johnston said that il lis opinion the
end of the war was near at hand.

THE ONTARIO HORROR,
The Captain and Manager of the
Victoria Held TO Bail for Man
slaughter.

LONDON, ONT, June 14.-The Coroner's
jury, which has been investigating the re-
cent Victoria steamboat disaster, by which
more than two hundred persons lost their
lives, rendered their verdict to-day. They
find that the eapsiEing of the boat was due
to water in the hold, that the boiler was
not securely fastened, and that the supports
of the promenade and hurricane decks
were not properly braced and were too
slender. They also condemn the engineer, the
Captain and the government inspector for not
reporting the above defects. At the close
of the inquest Capt. Rankin and Manager
George Parish were quietly arrested in the
lobby Of the City Hall, on information of
Postmaster Jones, of London, on the

The Convention then adjourned.

The convention then adjourned.
The Assembly bribery investigation was
continued this morning. Mr.. Bradley, who
was still on the stand, was questioned at
considerable length by Mr.. Peckham as to
the statements which It would seem he (Mr.
Bradley had made to various people, both
in Albany and Olean, to the effect that
That the money in the alleged bribery
case was given him by an outside lobbyist.
That he could get s., 600 for voting for
Depew. That he could get 81 500 for voting
for Depew. That Senators got 81 900 each
for not going into cancus. That there was
going to be "big time' In Albany. That
he had voted for the last time for Conkling
and Platt, and that there was CONSERVATION
in store for the people of Albany. When
asked If he had made the above statements,
Mr.. Bradley replied In most cases that he
didn't think he had, or was pretty positive
he hadn't. or couldn't remember saying so.
He admitted, however, that he might have
told Mr.. Dunnell, the correspondent of the
New York Times, that money was given
him by outside lobbyists, and also that he
might have said he could get s., 900 for
voting for Depew.
In his redirect examination Mr.. Bradley
admitted having said he could get $5 900
for his vote. He said so because it was
common rumor that votes were being
bought He admitted also having referred
to startling developments as forth
coming, but he meant develop
ments In connection with the star
routes in Washington. He denied that any
one had ever suggested to him making a
false charge against Senator Sessions. He
knew of no conspiracy to get up such
charges. He had no knowledge OF any
other case of bribery or attempted bribery
except his own, unless, perhaps, 1t were the
case of Mr.. Young.

By such thoughts was the soul Of
Louis A. Wilt animated.
He came from the people, he stay
ed all his life with them and strug-
gled against death even1to bring to
them such blessings as he thought
could be grasped in the race towards
progress and prosperity.
HE stood by his friends and died
poor is an answer which ought to
hush forever the denominations Of
those of his fellow men who met with
disappointments at his hands.
To the creole population of Louisi-
ana, whose chivalrous leader he un
doubtedly was, thu name of Louis A.
Wilt, now that the Anglo-Saxon ele-
ment controls the destinies of the
State, ought to be forever dear; for he
rallied all classes to him and reached
the highest honors. His onward
march was never arrested save when
death threw itself across his pathway.
Endowed with a personal magne-
tism which accompanies distinguished
merit, he had drawn around him the
love and confidence of the mass of his
fellow citizens. He possessed that
invaluable gift which enabled him to
be the peer of the most refined and
highest, while he knew how to grasp
with genuine cordiality the hand
Of the humblest among the people.
With all, and everywhere, he was a
true type of the courteous, chivalric
gentleman.
We feel that the large hearted peo-
pie of the State will sincerely mourn
his loss, among whom prominently
stands the gallant man who succeeds
him.
To the noble woman on whose de-
voted head his last dying glance rest
ed, and to the offsprings whom he
leaves among his loving friends, the
people. we express the feelings Of this
community, where the bells tolled re-
sponsiyely to those at New Orleans,
our heartfelt and deepest sympathy
in the great loss they have sustained,
one that is also that of common
wealth OF which Louis A. Wilt will
ever be numbered an illustrious son.
