JEFF DAVIS AND COERCION.
A Letter Which Comes Very Close to Substan-
iiating General Shermans Charge.

BALTIMORE. Nov. l9.-Anent the charge by
General Sherman made some time ago, that
Jefferson Davis, as President of the Southern
Confederacy, had threatened TO use Lees army
10 coerce the Southern States, the Sun will pub
lish tomorrow letter which WAS written by
Davis to Governor Vance, of North Carolina, in
January, 1863, and which was published in the
Raleigh IN. ca Standard, at that time. The
document, which is quite lengthy, refers to the
futile efforts by Davis to obtain conference
with Northern leaders looking to peaceful set
dement, OF the differences ana concludes as fol-
lows:
II fear much from the tenor of the news re-
saive fran North Carolina, that an attempt
will be made by some bad mon to inaugurate
movements which must be considered an equiv
alent to aid and comfort to the enemy. and
which all patriots should combine to put down
at any cost. You may count on my aid in every
effort to spare your State the scourge of civil
warfare. which will devastate her homes If the
designs of these traitors be suffered to make
head. know you will place yourself in your
legitimate positon-in the lead of those who
will not suffer the name Of the old North State
to be blackened by such a stain.
Will you pardon me for suggesting that my only
source of disquietude on the subject has arisen
from the fear that you will delay too long the
action which now appears inevitable, and that
by your overearnest desire to reclaim by con-
ciliatlon mon whom you believe to be sound at
beart but whose loyalty is more than suspected
elsewhere, you will permit them to gather such
strength as to require more violent measures
than are now neededl With your influence and
position the promoters of unfounded discords
now prevalent in your State would be put down
without the use of physical force if you would
abandon the policy of concliation, and
get them at defiance. In this course,
{ ankly and firmly pursued, you would rally
al ouEd you all that is best and noblest in your
ate and your triumph would be bIoodless. If
che contrary policy be adopted. l much fear you
vii be driven to the use of force to suppress
treason. In either event, however, be assured
that you will have my cordial concurrence and
assistance in maintaining with you the honor
and dignity and fair name of your State and in
your efforts TO crush treason. whether incipent,
rs balieve it now is, or more matured as be-
lieve if not firmly met, it will in our future in
nvitahA. become. / have the honor to be, very
respectfully, JEFFERSON DAVIS"

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

Congress and the Presidency-Cleveland's
Coming Annual Message.
Speciai to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 10 1T is the belief of all
the influential men who have arrived here since
the elections this month that, although this ses
sion of Congress will be very short one, it will
in all probability develop Presidential candi
date for either political party. 'It will demon
strate the power of the men to concentrate,n
said one statesman at the Capitol this morning,
''and will forge to the fore front those who can
propose practicable schemes for lifting the coun-
try out of the dllemmas it is in. There are sew
eral emergencies calling for statesmen, and op-
portunities present themselves for genius"
Everywhere the remark is made that Mr.
Cleveland is making ready to prove himself
equal to the occasion in his message to Congress.
It is said that he is exercising the greatest care
and judgment, and that he expects to make this
the document of his life. The message will be
anticipated by Congress with the most intense
interest. Mr.. Cleveland, it is said, will try to
solve the problem now presented in the threat
ened wreck of our =: tional banking system; that
he will make an effort to point out to the nation
al legislature what should be done in the for
eign issues arising what disposition ought to be
made of the public land commerce, and many
other matters before the people and crowding
Congress for action. It is predicted. also, that
the labor question will be touched upon
very forcioly, and the whole field of technical
tiles in craftsmanship gone over. The message
will be the best evidence of the fitness or unfit
ness of Mr. Cleveland to occupy the position he
is in Of anything he has shown since he came
into the White House, and it will, Congressman
say, make or break him for the struggle of 1883.
Mr.. Cleveland has now been in the executive
mansion over twenty months. He has had
taste of every possible phase Of Presidential life
in time of peace, and he is able to lay down, at
this distance from national campaign, his un.
biased conclusions and give out his best advice.
He lacks not experience nor familiarity with his
duties, and should not be wanting in the neces-
sites of the hour. Those who have talked to
him recently about the needs of the times and
the probabilities of Congressional work. say he
feels the gravity of the position he occupies and
intends to try to be master of the situation.
Whatever he says in his message may surely be
said to be his own. He is credited with direct
ing the details Of the work of the officers under
him more minutely than has ever any of his pre-
decessors. With the opportunities before him
the forthcoming Presidential message may be
regarded as very important document in every
respect

Attack ON the Government.

The Spanish Opposition Makes q Fruitless
Attack on the Government.
MADRID, Nov. 19.-In the Senate, last night
the opposition declared that Premier Sagasta's
policy was responsible for.the military mutiry
in September. Senor Sagasta replied that any
one who should have predicted that year
could elapse after the death of King Alfonso
without any disturbance more serious than an
uprising of two hundred unorganized men,
which was entirely suppressed within two
hours, would have been ridiculed Continuing,
the Premier said the suppression of the revolt
was due more to the improved customs of the
country and the virtues and talents of the
Queen than to the efforts of the government,
which, however. had done its best to preserve
order.
General Salamanca attacked Premier Sagasta
personally, and amid general murmurs declared
that the only way to bring about the fall of the
government was by resorting to military up
rising.
General Castillo, Minister of War, condemned
the efforts to make the army political engine.
He saic the policy of the government was to
make the men composing the army good soldiers,
who would ever be ready to serve their country
and follow its flag
The general opinion is that the government
carried off the honors of the debate, and that
the opposition made nothing by its attack.

recently discovered what will undoubt-
edly prove to be the most valuable tin

wide, and easily traceable on the surface
for more than a thousand feet. Crystals
weighing more than three pounds as

The last issue Of the Argus contains
an elaborate account, descriptive OF
Buffalo Gap, with the apparent purpose
OF displaying her marvellous resources,
in view Of attracting attention from
abroad. We have read the article very
carefully, and noted with some degree
of surprise that Custer City was not
mentioned, or in any manner referred
to. We would have supposed that in
summing up her vast resources, she
would have included Custer in the list
of points supplied. Our more absorb
ing neighbor of the valley would under
no circumstances have let such an
opportunity pass. We can always de-
pend upon her for a mention in such a
connection. Is il not a little premature
for such an exhibition of jealousy ?
One year later, and may be less, it
might be justifable, but at this j%uncture
when we are to some extent tributary
to the Gap, it seems somewhat absurd
to ignore the simple mention of Custer.
We are o fthe opinion that the Argus is
vainly trying to hide Custer from pub
lie gaze, but Custer has stood the shocks
Of time and chance for a decade, and
has now acquired proportions which are
by far too great to be eclipsed by m OBJ
