JEFF. DAvIs's LETTER
In Regard to the Recent Charges Against
tho Ex-Confederats Oficiais

IN Regard TO the Recent Charges Against
tho Ex.Confederate officials.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 20.--Joilersor
Davis has written letter to the Rev. j.
William Jones, formerly Of Richmond
who is well known as secretary of the
Georgia Historical Society. The letter wa,
in answer TO one sent him by Mr.. Jones
inclosing the following paragraph from the
Philadelphia Presbyi1ride
at is late but somewhat singular rev
elation that the leaders of the late Conied
eracy in the South, now happily buried
and much mourned, proposed amongothel
novelties to establish church in connec.
ton with the State. The story rests upon
the authority OF the Rev. DIR. McFerran, O
leading Methodist divine, who died lately
in Nashville, Tenn. II was his inference,
he said, from all he gathered while serving
rs Chaplain in the Southern army, and so
persuaded was he OF the correctness of his
inference that he was enabled thereby to
bear the result Of the great conquest with
eduanImity."
Mr.. Davis, in his reply, dated March 10,
says: 81 have received yours OF the 10th
instant, with the incloscd slip. The story
referred 10 is not only untrue, but absurd.
The Constitution OF the Confederate States
differed from that OF the United States by
having in its preamble a recognition OF the
Supreme Being and invoking the favor
and guidance OF Almighty God, and in
Section 8, OF the first article, Il said. Con.
gress shall make no law respecting an
establishment Of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof No such prohib-
ton was contained in the Constitution OF
the United States originally adopted, but
the same prohibition was made as an
amendment. The original observance OF
the spirit and letter OF the Constitution by
the Confederate States Government was 40
marked feature as never 10 have been
denied by its worst enemies. But, II these
silly ISLANDERS be worthy OF any investiga-
ton, il may be asked, what church or sect
was 10 constitute the establishment Was
II 10 be the largest church in the Conied-
eracy? Then that. | suppose, was the
Methodist Church South.
"And would this have been such a
grievance 10 the author OF the story as 20
reconcile him to the downfall OF the Con-
federacy2 Was the church TO be selected
Indicated by the composition oil the chosen
officers Of the Confederate Government
and the counselors directing lbs policy2
II 80, how does the matter stand?
''The President was an Episcopalian,
the Vice President Presbyterian, the
Secretary of State Hebrew. the Secretary
Of the Treasury an Episcopalian, the Sec
retary OF War Presbyterian, the Secre-
tary Of the Navy n Catholic, the Post.
masler-Gcncral a Methodist and the At.
torney-General Baptist, or at different
times n member OF all these denominations
except the Catholic. Hence appears the
absuriity Of the supposition that church
establishment was contemplated, or, II 80,
was possible achievement.

special Dispatch to The Appeal
WASHINGTON, March 20.-There was a
rumor in the Senate today that President
Harrison had told a Senatorial caller that
he regretted his inability to send in his
important nominations fast enough TO
permit OF an adjournment this week.
confirmation Of this report could not be
gained, but the opinion was quite general
among the Senators that owing to the
Presidents delay adjournment is now not
likely to be reached until near the end Of
the month. A few OF the Senators are
glad that this is so, but a majority
regret their detention here. Those
who are not anxious TO get away
are determined TO have discussion of
the Southern outrage question, and in
order TO bring this about they must 6rst
show that the Senate has the constitu-
tional right to transact legislative busn css
at called session. This question, ii
seems, has never been satisfactorily an
swered, and it is thought that now is a
good time to reach decision. Leading
Senators on both sides Of the chamber dif.
fer widely in the matter. The Democrats
present a united front in opposition, be
cause they do not want the Texas outrage
mill set in motion. Senator Sherman SAYS
II is perfectly clear that Congress can do
anything at called session that il can do
at a regular one, and other leading Repub-
hcans take directly opposite grounds.
Some OF the Senators who are great de-
tenders, expounders and friends OF the
Constitution are determined also to force
n discussion on the right Of the Senate TO
elect permanent President pro tempore.
In the Republican caucus a few days ago
II was formally decided that the Senate
had such power. This is not satisfactory
10 the Constitution stickers, and they pro.
pose TO raise the point in open session.
Nice-President Morton intends TO give them
an opportunity in day or two by notify
ing the Senate OF his intention to take a
trip TO New York. Two or three clerks in
the Senate have been employed for several
days looking up the law and precedents in
the case, and more than one Senator has a
speech already prepared. They may get a
, chance TO deliver them at this session, and
they may not.
