ABOUT JEFFERSON DAVIS.
HOW NE II HATED BY GEN. JACK
SON OF GEORGIA.
Wbas the Ex-PreSident OF the Con-
federaey Has 10 Say About The
AndersOnvIIIe Prisoners.

~ NEw York, May ll.-An Atlanta
Ga special to the Tunes says; Al
most simultaneously with the return
OF Jefferson Davis to Beauvo r, Gen.
Henry r. Jack,on, United States Min
is er to Mexico, returned to his home
in Savannah. Gen Jackson came from
Mexico in April, almost solely to be
present at the centennial in Savannah,
held last week He was to take
leading part du ing the celebration;
was to deliver the Grafton at the I'M
yelling of the Green monument. and
was down for toasts at half a dozen
banquets. Four days before the CEN
tennial opened, the Confederacy's ex-
President was invited to visit Savan-
nah. As soon as it was known that
he was going, Gen. Jackson wrote let
tiers regretting that he could not fill
the engagements which he had made.
He assigned as an excuse the sickness
of member OF his family at his coun1
try residence in the interior of the
State, and he left Savannsh be-
fore Davis got within 100 miles OF
the city. During a the festivities
Of la t week, Gen. Jackson remained
away. To him the ovations the ex-
President received were NORWOOD,
The bad blood between the two dates
back to the Mexican war, when
Davis's command on one occasion
joined Jsckson's. Both were young
officers then, and Jackson took his
company and arrested someof Davis's
men. In the civil war Jackson inn
portuned the President of the Con-
federacy for a command, and was
snubbed. He has never forgiven
Davis, and the feeling was so bitter
that he would not remain in the city
while the President was there.

SUMED.
A Witness Who Declined to Give In.
Observation-Disclosures of the
Various Companies.

WASHINGTON, MAY ll.-When the
Telephone Investigating Committee
met to-day, NJ. George Augustine, q
stakeholder in the Washington Tele
phone Company, was placed upon the
stand. He said that Doctor Roberts
and several other persons about two
years ago had requested him to en-
deavor to effect a sale OF tbs Pan
Electric patent to the Rell company
The negotiations with Mr. Vale had
failed, as the prices named BY the
Pan-Electric li5,C00,000) was dispro-
portlonat4 to the value of thu patents.
Witness had seen only Col Looney
OF the Pan-Electric in connection with
the sale. DIR. Rogers and his son had
nothing to do with the negotiations,
and Mr.. Young opposed the sale.
Mr.. Arthur b. BrisOn of New York
was the next witness. He said that in
March, 1885, he bad been retained by
the National Telephone Company to
defend the Pittsburg suits. He told
of his interview with the At orney-
General, in reference to the govern
ment suit and of his action in tbat
AID other matters, substantially as
described by other witnesses. As to
the Wilbur affidavit, the witness said
that Wilbur wanted $3.50 for his SER
vices in making the affidavit, but wit
ness had given him only $50 which had
been paid in Van Benthuysen's pres
ence. Witness produced and sub
mitted Wilbur's rece pit for the money.
Neither Mr.. Young nor Mr.. Harris
were present, be said.
Mr. Ranney desired the witness to
tell what had been said at the Ebbitt
House conference between the Pan
Electric and National Telephone Com
pany's representatives, bu he declined
on professional grounds to state what
had been said, saying there was good
deal said that he was not at liberty to
repeat.
L. N. Hill testified that he had been
tod OF the Pam Electric meeting at
No. 1927 q street by another person
not connected with the Pa Electric,
whose name witness absolutely re-
fused to divnlge His informant had
said that Mrs Rines, the landlady of
the house, would make an affidavit
that Mr., Garland had attended that
meeting.
The committee directed witness 10
give the name of the informant, but
he refused. Thereupon Mr.. Ranney
moved that the witness be presented
to the House for contempt, but did
not ask immediate action.
Witness pleaded illness and asked
to be excused at this point, and his
request was granted.
The committee then discussed for
some time the contumacious conduct of
the witness, and it was resolved to Sc
cure answers from him if there was
any power in Congress to enforce
them.
Adjourned.

To the Editor of the New York Tribune:
SIR Having been for time at the
beginning of the war of the rebellion
a soldier in the Union army, have
always had desire to know from some
authentic source why the Southern
Confederacy, being at one time unable
to agree upon terms of exchange of
prisoners, and being at the same time
unable to properly subsist the Union
prisoners confined at Salisbury and
Andersonville, did not send them
North on parole, until they we ex-
changed, as humanity required and
accordingly addressed respectful
letter to Jefferson Davis, ex-Pr, sident
of the Confederate States, requesting
him to explain the matter and remove
the stigma which in the minds of
macy Peep e in the North rested upon
his name. l received the r,ply which
follows. Yours truly,
