Another Letter from Jefferson Davis.
tE1avaia M pla It, naaIer


In reference to the proposition OF the
Southern BiUOudc TO PRINT the letters ana
documents OF the late Jacob Thompson
relative 10 the conspiracy in the North
during the war TO release Confederate pri-
soncrs in Union camps and burn northern
cities, jefferson Davis has written the fol-
lowing letter TO the editor of the Cdth0hc
UnirerSe, Of Cleveland, o.:
BEAUyOIR, Miss, November II, 1886.
Nv Dear Sir Yours Of the S'h has been
received. and | fully concur in your
opinion as TO the improprietv OF publish
log the correspondence Of our northwest
ern friends with the Confedcrates who
held intercourse with them. Though their
conduct in resisting sectional pressure aud
striving TO check fraternal strife and discoun-
tenancing the unconstitutional coercion Of
the southern states was most praiseworthy.
the exposure at this day OF their efforts
could not fail to be injurious to them. In
taking the hazards they encountered they
OF course relied upon the good faith OF the
Confederates with whom they held inter-
course, and ! do not think there i any
higher obligation upon our people than 10
shield those gallant sympathizers as best
they may from harm.
As for myself and those who c06peraied
with me | have no wish TO avoid dlSclo-
sures. We had learned that our men in
northern prisons were suffering inhuman
treatment. and oftentimes done 10 death in
cold blood. Our effort to liberate them was
duty TO neglect which would have been a
shame. While, therefore, We may claim
no credit for our conduct IN that connec-
ton, we certainly have no motive for wish
Ing to conceal il, and the only regret there
with connected is the sacrifice Of brave men
engaged in the attempt, and the want OF sue
cess which attended their efforts. Without
knowing the scope OF the proposed publl-
cation can only say that trust it will not
lead TO revelations against our northwest
ern friends. who magnanlmou>ly came 10
our aid in our hour Of need; and, as for
the rest, can have no wish TO suppress the
narration OF gallant deeds done by Com
fedcrateS for the relief OF their imprisoned
comrades, and hope there is nothing to be
told Of them which they are not willing 10
avow. Ever faithfully yours.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

alone" At any rate he did drink, but never
let it alone. He drank and drank, and soon
HE riches took wings and flew away. Once
{. mar OF pleasing and perfect speech, when
the horrible tiend OF intemperance cooled
closely about him, paralysis seized his
tongue, and never again could ho utter
plain syllable, but doled out in weak and
Whee2lng voice the words that he could
only half say. We have known him to come
to town and get drunk, and then lie III an
alley like brute, unable to COLL or even
esq for help to get him or his
poverty stricken horse. Then disease
began to work upon his limbs
The once powerful arms dangled loose
" at his sides, his trembling hands could
hardly grasp the staff he carried, and his
tall body became q burden too great for his
tottering legs. But now and then he would
drag himself to town and drink until
stHpos overcame him, when he woul,. fall
IN ditch Or fence corner and lie until some
one would take pity on him and send him
home.
For several years We have not seen him
on the streets, and had almost forgotten
that he ever lived, but our recollection Of
him was revived by IN overheard conversn-
ton among some men the other day.
"Oid Windy said Que, "has become 80
weak that he cannot move himself. Whep
he gets across his room he must be carried.
he lives out near Perote. AT the head of
his bed, where he can get his hands to the
faucet, to turn it off and on, he keeps q
key of hadwhislsy, and sells it by the drink
to whoever will buy; and while his bust
ness 10 prohibited there, no one will re-
port him, because OF his deplorable con-
ditlon.'
"Old Windy" will not drink or handle
much more whisky. 1t has been black
shadow over his life, and will follow him to
the end. He is only one Of the men around
here for whom alcohol has done its worst

In this county there is q man named Viii

him we do not know. Once he was IL respect

hundreds OF thousands. In olien times he

She Sails by the Stars.

We call especial attention to the follow
ing poem. written by Mrs. Lide Merri-
wethcr, President of the W. g. L. U. of
Tennessee. We have seen nothing better
from any pen. We learn that when Miss
Frances Willard heard it first she PRO-
nounced it IAN inspiration, and rejoiced
that it was written by Southern woman"
And when Mrs. Merriwether was intro
duced to the National W. c. L. U. Con-
vention ut st. Louis by Miss Willard, she
said: "And, ladies, this is Lide Merriwether,
who wrote She Sails by the Stars" And
for whole week Mrs. NJ. was the recip-
len lent OF thanks and congratulations tor
"the inspiration" Miss Willard has ar
ranged with the Chicago Temperance Pub
LEGATION House to have it set to music of
the best order and brought out in first
class style, and we predict large sale and
good results from its use. Here is the
poem:

Truth is her compass sails by the stars.

s. SalOOlls.s'

No matter what mans opinions may be
about the feasibility of prohibition or the
physical or moral effects OF alcoholic
drinks, he can not deny that SALOONS" are
the curse Of American politics and sociaty;,
that none Of them, whether Democratic or
Republican. are entitled to any protection;
whatever; that il they could be all shut up,
it would be great thing for the country;
and that even if they can not be all shut
up, they can be at least diminished in num-
Der and made less mischievoes. For pass
on the liquor question ore Necessary. The
teetotaler, the moderate d,;nker, the high
license man, and the prohibitionist can all
unite against them.
To say that the saloons are all over the
country nurseries Of vice and crime, is to
repeat a commonplace. In this respect
they receive plenty of denunciation from
reformers and philanthropists of all shades
Of opinion. But their effect on politics
does not receive half enough attention. 1t
is they. more than any other single agency,
| which make the problem Of municipal gov
eminent in America SO formidable. They
give political power and Importance in all
cities to probably the worst class Of men il.
America. All party managers are almost
compelled to accept the services of liquor
dealers as captains Of tifties, and captains
OF hundreds, aud having accepted them,
the party becomes dependent on the liquor
! interest and bound to conc.liate it. The
| resort for society AMI exhilara.ion. 1t is
almost Invariably political club, Of which
the liquor dealer is the head, and he goes
into politics for precisely the same reason
fox which he sells liquor. All! his political
influence is corrnpting. Everything that
he tells his customers Of what il
going on in politics confirms ther H.
the belief that ii is simply ID means OF
robbing the taxpayer. When they put
him in Office it is for the a,owe,s purpose
of plundering and sharing with them.
Whatever he may be III politics, too,
whether alderman or schoo! trustee. his
voice is always raised ON the side Of cor
ruption and disorder. We have had III
Vulnerable liquor dealers in Office in this
| city during the past forty years. but We
in which one Of them raised :: finger OF
said q word on the side of GOOD govern
ment, and did not stand as far AZ he could
in the way OF every attempt at pl:rl,icatiop
and improvement. or failed to till his
pockets with public money whenever he
got Il chance.
! There never has been, in fact. liz any age
or country,;. trade SO distinctly marked
out for legal reprobation and discourage
ment as liquor dealings in the United States
in our time. Whatever be the merits o.
dement's OF alcoholic drinks, the man who
sells them seems always prone 10 become ;
social nuisance, and his shop u fountain o:
evil. Whatever cuts down the numbers o
the class, or lilninishes it's power and i'm.
porance, is good legislation, whether j
diminisbes the actual consumption o
LIQUOR or not.-Neic York Eteatng Post
