Senator Davis MisrepreseGtcd.

As is Well-known to the readers of the Herald, this paper has never supported Senator Jeff Davis and still regards his election to the United otstes Senate as great mistake on the part of Arkansas. But this is no reason why he should be mlsrepresented. On January 26 he delivered an anti trust speech. In reporting the matter
 9eral pa a4ers stated that all but a very few of the senators left the chamber when he began to speak aud ct the close of his address he had only pages and the presiding officers for an audiance. An Ar kansas lady. who is spending the winter in Washington, was present the day Senator Davis spoke. She noted the reports sent out and has written the Herald about it. We take the liberty of publishing the letter. but the name of the writer is withheld as she requests. That her view of the matter is unbiased is fully set forth, and her character and standing is such that there can be no doubt about the facts as she states them. The Herald believes in clean fighting and fairness. hence we are glad to give our junior sen- ator all the credit due him:
 They write me from home that the papers reported that everybody left the senate when Senator Da- wis spoke on the 26 inst. should like you to correct this unless you are very much opposed to Eayis. As 1 was present and not on ac- count of Davis himself for as you may know my family ot Davis voters, but for the sake of Arkan- sas. wish to know this accusation is not true. The senators did not leave the senate. and Davis had the undivided attention of both sena
