Death OF Jefferson Davis.

Jefferson Davis, ex-President Of the South
ern Coniederacy, died at 12.45, on December
9th, at the residence of his friend, j. w.
W. Payne, in New Orleans His death,
though expected al any time for month
past, has created a profound sensation
throughout tue country and messages ex-
pressive of deep sorrow for the fallen leader
of"The Lost Cause" and Of sympathy in the
anguish of those bound to him by tenderest
ties are daily and hourly being received
Governors and Senates are speaking his
praises-but they fall on the dull, cold ear of
death, alas Well may the South delight to
do him honor ; be who has been truly called
their vicarious sufferer in defeat" His bril-
liant career has ended-shall we say he was
unfortunate in having out-lived the unreason-
ing enthusiasm that might have thrown
around him unreal splendor? Nay, rather
let US who loved him rejoice that he lived to
show himself the truly great man-greater in
disaster, defeat and suffering.
Mr. Davis was not only great man but he
was one of the best and purest of men, The
language which he applied to the amented
Lee is equally applicable to him: This citi-
zen, this soldier, this great general, this true
patriot left behind him the crowning glory
of a true Christian. His Christianity en-
nobled him in life, and affords US grounds
for the belief that he is happy beyond the
graye.''

OF that State are very wide and well made

formed by road engineers and others that
$4,000 mile would make fine turnpike

Mr.. Chandler introduced Federal cleo
ton bill, in the Senate, on Tuesday. 1t pro-
vides that whenever in any congressional dis
trict ten voters from each county make an
affidavit that they believe the election will
be unfair if held by the State officers and
shall petition the United States Circuit Judge
to have the registration of voters and the
election conducted by United States officials,
the court shall appoint all necessary officers
to carry out the prayer of the petitioners.
This is in accordance with recommends
ton in President Harrsons message 1t is
the Republican scheme to get control of the
election machinery in the Southern States
and make that part Of the country soidly
Republican. Of course, if the bill became
law there would be no difficulty anywhere in
finding men who would make the required
affidavit. Such law would be gross viola
tion of the rights of the States, and should be
resisted by every man who has spark of
patriotism in him or any regard for the per-
petuty of our republican form of govern
ment.

epileptic fits having had seven or eight in sue
cession, few weeks ago. His wife feared lie
