little Is thought OF the conditions un-

How jeff Davis Got Away with
so Much Gold.

Il is but due to the Press Of Phila-
delphia, which has just discovered the
substantial truth of history, tbough
not all the details), to make public my
account of how Jefferson Davis got
away with that 100000 in gold and
81 900, 900 in silver that has been
proven be bad with him on The night
previous to his capture. And 1t is
but due to the people who have always
believed Mr.. Davis 70 be man of
great euhtletv aud mighty muscle
that they should be vindica,ed liz their
belief.
That Mr.. Davis, o prisoner Of war,
devoid of friends, for many long
months an inmate of ponderous
easement, should have succeeded in
getting away with S2,500,O00 of coin
is fact SO in keeping with the mar
velous power be had of putting in the

the rest, wanted to swoop down on

country, who had to crush, with such
inferior numbers, the more pOpulous
South, will readily believe my story.
am an old man now, but in the
hey day of my youth knew Mr.. Davis
well. Then he was the SaturniDe
god that shone in tie war department
and sent all the small arms aud can
non, aud all the machinery for max
ing them to the South, so that a poor
North, having neither men nor mus
kets must bow submissive when the
Dies Irae, on which he had fixed bis
eve far in the future, should have
come. A little later, too, | knew him
well, when, with bis masked batteries
anG great troops of black horse caval-
~ he dashed upon poor McDowelrs s
starved and Harmed little posse, as
the great storm waves dash upon the
rocks and sbatter them, even as the
deadly Irlshman captured his four

and much doubt expressed as TO the power

whatever they may be, devolves upon

hence ! 90 not assume their appointment.
Should the party interests, however, do.
mand the calling Of a convention in anv
