Butler said: "While secretary of war
between 1853 and 1857, Mr.. Davis
made tour Of New England, speak
ing eloquently Of the preservation of
the Union, and the constitution, and
receiving everywhere most enthusiast
tic ovations."
AS an illustration Of Davis high
sense Of honor, Butler related to nae
the following: He said, "Massachu-
sets had a claim for several hum
dred thousand dollars against the
United States government which was
nearly as old as the government it.
self; that for more than a generation
congress had refused to pay 1t be-

was the character Of Jefferson Davis
for integrity
While recently in Mississippi Mr..
Roosevelt favorably mentioned Mr..
Davis for his gallantry at Buena Wis
ia. It did not need Mr.. Roosevelt s
testimony to establish that General
Zachary Taylor, communicating chief,
and every other officer and soldier IN
that battle, freely acknowledged that
Davis, as colonel of the First Missis-
sippi Rifles did more to win that bat
tie, which made Taylor president Of
the United States, than did any other
officer And when the conqueror Of
Napoleon, the Duke Of Wellington,
read how four thousand volunteers
and five hundred regulars had routed
at Buena Vista an army Of twenty
two thousand well-armed and drilled
men under experienced officers, he
said: cit was one Of the most Won
derful victories in all history"
What He Was Advised to Do.
[ advised Mr.. Roosevelt to make
the amende honorable nearly three
years ago when my attention was
first called to the matter. This is
what General Jackson and General
Grant would have done, hard fighters
and stubborn men as they were. The
first officer to scale the Indian forti-
fication at the battle Of the Horse
Shoe was Col. William King, of Sui
livan county, Tennessee. In his Of

piled, through the North American
Review, that "the charge that he had
ever favored the reputation Of his
State s debt was false, and he chal-
lenged proof to the Contrary This
put a quietus on the charge.
Whatever Mr.. Davis faults, the
greed for money was not among
them, nor was personal dishonesty
trait Of his character. His reputation
for personal integrity was unblem
ished. Prior to the civil war, though
not rich, "like the thrifty New York
Roosevelts," he was in comfortable
financial circumstances and, being a
man of transformations and economic
al manner of living, and of high sense
OF honor, neither necessity nor in
cination prompted him to swindle his
creditors.

Twas mine, it's his, and has been

ans who were contemporaries Of Da-

as the chief of political sinners, but

Ben Buffers Opinions.
After the war General Benjamin f.
Butler, of Massachusetts, made a
speech in the House of Representa-
tives in which he said that "Davis, as
the leader of the Confederate move
ment, ought to have been hanged. "
Hon. Samuel S. Cox, in reply, twitted
the doughty general, who never won
battle, with having voted in the
Democratic national convention at
Charleston in 1860 for Jefferson Da-
Wis ffty-seven times as a presidential
candidate. I asked Butler why he
had so ardently supported Davis, and
if he was not embarrassed by what
Cox had said. Of course, it was
foolish question for me to ask Butler
if anything could embarrass him, but
I did. He replied: emo sir; | am not
embarrassed; | am proud Of having
voted as I did. Subsequent events
have indicated my judgment. 1 be-
