Jefferson Davis ". Gen. W. T. sherman.

The Baltimore Sun has a long letter
written by Jefferson Davis from Beauvoir,
Miss, to Col. 7. J. Scharff OF Baltimore,
replying to Gen. Sherman's so-called re-
port to the war department, and which
the United States senate ordered printed
as 'Ex-Doc. No. SO, Forty eighth congress,
second session." Davis says: "a contin-
uing sense of the great injustice done to me
and to the people I represented by the
senate, making the malicious assault OF
Gen. Sherman q public document, and Civ
ing to his Islander the Importance which
necessarily attaches to an executive COM
munication to the senate, has recently
caused the request for q reply by me to be
pressed with very great earnestness. For
this eason l have decided to furnish my
reply to youf for publication. Mr.. DAVIS then
proceeds to dispute and deny the charges
brought against him by Gen. Sherman,
i'm which he declares that he did all in his
power to prevent the al and did not seek
the post OF chief executive. For all acts
OF my public life as president OF the Con-
federate states I am responsible at the bar

which / shall do without the least appre-
hension that it will be swayed from truth
by the malicious falsehoods of Gen. Sher-
man, even when stamped as an "Ex-doc,"

that made by Gen. Sherman, in
1884, before Blair post, g. A. R., that he
(Sherman) had a letter in Davis handwrit.

Lees army against any state that might
attempt to secede from the Southern con
federacy. Davis concludes: 1 have, in this
vindication, not of myself only, but also
of the people who honored me with the
highest official position in their
gift, been compelled to group to-
gether instances OF repeated falsehoods
deliberately spoken and written by
Gen Sherman. The Blair Post Islander OF
myself, the defamation OF the character OF
Gen. Albert s. Johnston, the disparagement
of the military fame OF Gen. Grant, and the
shameful and corrupt charge against Gen.

Of the United States has given to Sherman's
Islander an Endorsement which gives it,

an habitual slanderer, and not having q

Chief Justice Waite, having been
asked if the convicted Chicago Anar.
chists could get their case before the
Supreme Court of the United States,

they could show that their constitu-

They were convicted of an offense
against the State of Illinois, and the
Supreme Court of that State is GER
tainly far enough to carry their case.

Found Drowned.

About IL o'clock yesterday morning the
body of a man was found floating in the
river, between the San Joaquin Company's
barge and the levee. 1t had been in the
water several days-perhaps two weeks
and was much decomposed. The deceased
was apparently about so years of age. Par
ties who saw the remains thought they
were those of Benjamin Lembach, car
penter who has been employed on the river
boats but it was subsequently, learned that
such was not the case. The deceased was
5 feet 81 inches in hight, would weigh
about 175 pounds, was bald, wore gray
beard, cut short, and had on blue wooden
overshirt, coat and pants of dark, pepper
and-salt material, and shoes. Ii is thought
he may have been a tramp, from the cloth
ing and the fact that there were in his
pockets a towel, piece of soap, piece of
candle and the butt of cigar. Coroner
Clark held an inquest last evening, the
jury finding a verdict, in effect, of "un-
known man, found drowned
