THOSE who have been so persistent in
speaking of the immense amount of time,
trouble and shoe-leather expended by
Vice-President Hendricks in his endeavors
to turn all the Republicans out ofoilice and
put Democrats in, are respectfully referred
to that portion of his speech in Boston last
night in which he says that he never adj
vocated policy of prescription towards
the opposite party. "I know" he says,
that there are honest men among them,
and / would not If could take the
charge of this entire Government away
rom them. They pay their taxes; they
contribute to the support of the country;
they help to fight its battles, and it is but
fair that they should share in the honors. "

Chat with Jefferson Davis.
HIS PROPOSED REPLY TO GEN. SHERMAN-TER MEN {


HIS PROPOSED REPLY TO GEN. SliERMAN-TER MEN OF
THE PAST.
Jefferson Davis, who joined the party In charye
OF the liberty bell from Philadelphia as the train
passed through Beauyoir, Miss, on the way TO the
New Orleans exposition, and accompanied them TO
the latter city, had chat on the train with
that MIR. Davis mind Is still clear and active but
there are signs OF a physical break up in bis ap-
pearance. He is IS years of age. In speaking OF
the recent controversy the letter OF Gen. Sher-
man, Mr.. Davis says that Sherman has not fur
niShed any proof or the charge that he Davis con-
templated the establishment or despotic power In
the south during the war, and denies in the most
emphatic terms that he ever wrote lettaf upon
which such accusation could BIZ founded Mr.
Davis says that he has In his possession copies OF
all the letters he wrote during the war; including
his messages These valuable records were saved
for him by Catholic priest who recovered and lid
them for him until after his release from prison
Mr. Davis answer to Gen. Sherman viii contain
extracts from these papers. On being asked who
was the greatest man he ever met In public lie,
jackson was greater man il we judge by results
but he was not learned. He was a safe man, and
had more sound common sense than any man
ever knew. Gen. Taylor was also great man, and
one OF the best friends had In the world, but did
not support him Tor President. John Quincy Adams
was also great statesman, and perhaps the best
equipped man ever knew"
To the question as TO who. In his opinion, was
the ableSG general In the confederacy, Mr.. Davis
unhesitatingly answered: "Gen. Albert Sidney
John Ston was the abieSt man, either civil or MILL
tary, that was in the confederacy. Had he lived
he would undoubtedly have annihiiated Grants
