In the interesting article on "JelTer.

in the Southern BiroUac for August,
the Confederate President is spoken Of
as "a citizen of no land under the
sun" This, says Mr. Edwin Martin
of Savannah in the Bic0uac for Sep.
tember, is popular error that ought
to be corrected. There is no such
thing as outlawry in this country.
Every person-evcn convicted Grim.
inal or fugitive from justice-is en-
titled to the equal protection of the
laws Of the United States and Of
every State in the Union Were MIR,
Davis to remove to Maine he would at
once become citizen Of that truly
loyal State, and no legal power in
Maine could prevent him from be,
coming such. Mr.. Davis has not only
not been convicted of any crime
against the laws of the United States,
or of any State, but ne is not even
under legal accusation of any crime.
1t Is true that he Is dis.
