Shame, Where is thy Blasli I
Since the close of the war nothing has
happened which will so shock the moral
sense ot the civilized world as the recent con
duct and remarks of Gov. Pierpout in ref
erence to his refusal to permit Gen. Colston
to deliver his lecture on General Stonewall
Jackson in the Hall of the House ot Dele-
pates. We had supposed, during tbe great
Evolution just ended, if there was one char
acter who hud acted his part in the terrrible
tragedy, and had passed from among us -to
render an account of his stewardship on
earth, in whom all the elements were so
blended as gave the world the assurance of
a man, it was Gen. T. J. Sackson. We had
thought that the exalted reputation of the
citizen, the exemplary character of the'Chris
tian, and the brilliant exploits of the soldier
lmd rendered the character of Jackson wor
thy the admiration of every man who
honored virtue, truth and manliness, and
hud made him not only worthy the
pride of Virginians, but a pride to the
American name; nay, an honor to the
human race. We venture the assertion that
Gov. Pierpout will remain for all time to
conic almost, if not a solitary exception,
without distinction of party, section or ua-
lionulity, Who sees nothing in the character i ^ meeting must naturally be after such a protracted

[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.]
Fobtbess Monboe, May 3, 1866.
Mrs. Jeff. Davis arrived here this morning. Her
youngest child, a sprightly girl, twenty months old, a
colored man-servant, possessing the stalwart form and
fierce moustache of a Kussian grenadier, four trunks of
Immensely large proportions, and a travelling basket
of the largest pattern, bore her company. Upon land
ing she went to the Hygcia Hotel, adjacent to the wharf,
and without stopping to change her travelling dress,
or even removing her bonnet, breakfasted and then
sent a message inside the fort, announcing her arrival
and the permission from President Johnson she bore
with h«r to visit her husband. Meantime tbe news
of her presence at the hotel spread rapidly, and a reti
nue of anxious persons soon gathered about to get a
look at her. With admirable imperturbability, not to
say an agreeable equanimity of temper—probably the
result, to some extent, of past similar experiences—
she submitted to the painful necessity of being gazed
at. Time, that old and stern teacher of wisdom, and
unerring revelator of the mutabilities of earthly dy
nasties and hopes, has very sensibly changed her from
the haughty and defiant woman she was a year ago.
Her tone is more subdued, her manners more quiet
and reserved, and she does not seek tp shine as re
splendency in flashing diamonds and costly laces.
She has a much older look—the look of a woman who
has long borne the burden of grief and waged war with
conflicting doubts and hopes. But a poor student of
physiognomy is he who does not still read in that face
and penetrative glance of those eyes a power of will and
determination as strong and pertinacious as life it
self.
At half-past eight o’clock Lieutenant Fessenden-
Fifth United States Artillery, waited upon her to es
cort her inside the fort. Her child accompanied them.
She was taken to General Miles’ headquarters, who
received her with every politeness and consideration
duo her position. Under other circumstances she
might have striven more sedulously, perhaps, to
evoke the most favorable impression possible upon
the custodian of her husband, but her great anxiety
was to proceed at once to her husband's place of con
finement and see him. She wanted to see how he had
borne his imprisonment, whether he was sick or well,
and learn all al?out him. She was not long kept in
anxiety Mr. Davis had been apprised of her cqming.
Within fifteen minutes from the time of her admission
to the fort she was with him in Carroll Hall. Lieut.
Fessenden still bore her company. She has remained
with Mr. Davis all day, and took her dinner with him.
An officer has been constantly in the same room.
Their meeting was a tender and affecting one, as such
Washington, May 4.—An interview has taken place
between the President and a committee appointed by
tbe Texas State Convention, who delivered to him an
official copy of the ordinance adopted by that body.
J udge Hancock concluded^his address, by saying:
“We should feel that we had only partially performed
our duty to the people of our State, were we to omit
expressing to your Excellency our cordial approbation
of your course as President of the United States, and
particularly our approval of your restoration policy
Your wise and patriotic course in behalf of the equal
rights of all sections of the country- has revived fresh
hope in many a desponding heart that the generation
which has exeperienced the most terrible shock of
civil war in modern times, will see civil and costitu-
tional liberty restored throughout the entire land.
“We thank you in the name of the people of Texas
for the noble and patriotic stand you have taken in
behalf of Constitutional Government The olive
branch of peace extended to us by your kindly hand
we accept in grateful spirit, and pledge to you the sup
port, earnest and thorough, of the people of Texas in
all measures that will tend to restore the State to* its
pristine position among the States of the American
Union. May God preserve your Excellency many
years in health and prosperity—an instrument under
His guidance to restore the Government of our fathers
and preserve the liberties of the people.”
THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY.
lowiu^ extract from the report ot the Rich
mond Examiner, of the opening ot Gen. Col
stons lecture, we propose to leave this wor
thy Governor alone in his unenviable glory :
UulU'6 and Gentlemen :—I had hoped to-night to
have addressed you in another place, but in a convor-
nauon which has been accurately reported in one of
the morning papers, [the Examiner] the Governor of
Virginia ret used me the use of the Hull of the House
of Delegates for uny “such purpose as to deliver a
• ulogy on the most honored and beloved son Virginia
nas produced in modern times, triisses.)
(In order that the reader may better know
tiic character of this ‘‘conversation’’ to which
General Colston alludes, and the accuracy of
which lie testifies to, we reproduce it here,
as printed in the Examiner ot la6t Thursday,
tin. Examiner.]
* * The Hall of the House of Delegates should
invtt been offered to Gen. Colston without solicitation,
but, m default of that fitting courtesy, he approached
thu so-called “Governor” of Virginia to ask for it.
The following brief dialogue will A show how he and his
application were received.
Uu entering the Governor’s room, Gen. Colston pre
sented to him the letter of invitation he had received
from many of our most jiromineut citizens, which
was taken and read. As the Governor returned the
letter, General Colston remarked pleasantly:
••Governor. I suppose now that the war is over, that
every Virginian feels a pride in the fame and charac-
Urnf ‘Stonewall’ Jackson.”
Cierpoint.—“Nosik ; 1 feel nojiride in Jackson as
a Virginian, and can see nothing in hie character wor
thy of admiration.”
After some further remarks, Pierpout asked, con
temptuously, “What is there in the character of Jack-
sou to admire ? He was a kiud of crazy enthusiast,
with a good deal of bigotry otX’romwell in him. That
vyas all.”
*}< it- 'ill Colston,—“I merely called, sir, to ask you
it l .-••uld get the use ot the hall for my lecture.”
Pinpont.—“No. sir!” (very emphatically.) “I
will nut lend the Hall of the House of Delegates for any
Nith purpose !”
Amt then he again asked, derisively, “What was
there- in the character of Jackson to admire *
•it un til Colston.—“It is useless for us who difl'er
?= • widely, sir, to discuss that subject. You must ex
cuse me lor doing so. Good morning.” And the
General departed.
lu viotuug bid ttblo ami eutertaiQiug
lif.ure, General Colston, Limselt' a ills
tmeuisbed and worthy follower of the dis
tinguished soldier, very truthfully remarks:
Hi WHS beloved by his soldiers, admired by bis
enemies and tbe world. Jarksou’s name WA3 honored
- an [ j,,. world over, by friends and foes alike, and It
iv'ia reserved for one to no eaUs himself the Governor
c .r Virginia to sag that he felt no soil of pride in
Jackson, and could see nothing for admiration in
character, but the soldiers who fought- him did
not think so; the soldiers of the Federal army always
respected and appreciated him. The soldiers of both
armies had not been unmindful of the generous spirit
exhibited by both of their great leaJers; it was only
iku demagugnes, who kept out of the battle, that kept
howling tor blood and confiscation.
Tile Policy of Humanity.
.General Frank P. Blair, of Missouii, one
ot the few Republican politicians who ilia-
tiuguished himself by personal gallantry, has
lately written a letter to a meeting in 8t-
Louis, in which he gives utterance to the fol
lowing magnainmous and generous senti
ments He says, in speaking of the Radicals:
••Such persons are most persistent in urging meas-
'livs .1 unnecessary harshness and indignity, in order
i 'imtjteand goad our vanquished opponents into
not a >ii resistance which will justify the infliction of
still greater cruelty. If those brave and unfortunate
people could only be driven by their insults and con
tumely to such acts it would fill the soul of their ma-
iiguant persecutors with unspeakable joy and satisfac
tion, b- cause it would afford the pretext they seek to
d-iiv to the iSoUtbcrn people the rights of freemen and
tree States. These Jacobins feel and know that it is
necessary to disfranchise the white race at the South
affording them their only chance of retaining power
and position.
“What civilized nation on earth would hesitate an
instant, if the opportunity offered, to incorporate with
themselves the brave and heroic people of the South,
who?.- Fortitude and endurance, in a mistaken cause.
1 kallcLge the admiration and respect of the world ?
Would France or England, or any other civilized
paver, heistate to give such men the full and equal
rights accorded to all other citizens ? Would not those
nations be most happy to claim as their own such men
■if- Lee and Johnston, and a host of others, and to con
fer upon those living heroes the rewards which genius
and courage have always commanded? Would they
fail to Louor and cherish, as apart of their own glory,
h.'- memory ot that illustrious throng of the dead, led
,; y Stonewall Jackson ? Their fame belonged to our
tisino and nation, and their survivors, animated by an
c lual courage sud devotion, and inspired by what we
iiopeand believe is a better cause, will hereafter con-
triouto equally with the noble spirits of the North to
ftie renown of our great Hepublic.
‘ Kilow-citizeus, those who wish .well to thecoun-
• > and would secure its greatest happiness, can have
b fiigber aspiration than that the peace you celebrats
be perpetual.

finding Mr. Davis in better health than she had ex
pected; but still avers that he is much feebler than
when brought here. She is every way satisfied with
the treatment he has received, and acknowledges that
everything, saving his restoration to liberty, has been
done for him that could be. To Dr. Cooper, his medi
cal attendant and adviser, she is especially thankful,
and gives the unqualified credit of keeping him so
well and cheerful as he Is. It is not known yet
whether she will stay at Dr. Cooper’s during her so
journ here or at tho Hygeia Hotel. It ia also not
known yet how long she wiU remain here.
Mrs. Davis left Montreal on Monday at three P. M.
She has traveled night and day to get here.
Tho President thanked the Committee for tho kind
and complimentary manner in which their Chairman
had alluded to hia efforts in restoring the States lately
in rebellion and insurrection to their primitive rela
tions with thu Government of the United States. He
was gtetified to learn from them the unanimity of the
people ot Texas who had accepted the results of the
war. He expressed the hope that the State of Texas,
together with all of the other Stato9 so recently in re
bellion, would soon be restored to their normal con
dition in the Federal Government, and that their citi-
zens, while bearing its burdens, would be admited to'
a full participation in its blessings and protection.
Tbe President said he had the utmost confidence in
the ultimate restoration of the Union, and that time
and patience would solve the problem. Much would
depend on the people of the state of Texas, if they
coutinued in the good work bo auspiciously begun)
and by obedience to law demonstrate their loyalty to
the Government. Then, he trusted, the * day would
not be far distant when the work of restoration would
be completed by the admission of their Senators and
Representatives to fill vacant places in Congress.

Gen. Lee’s Testimony—The True Pollcy
to be Pursued Toward the South.
[From the London Times, April 19.]
The utmost that can reasonably be expected from a
people situated like the Virginians is such a political
conformity as Gen. Lee declared to exist. It ia barely
twelve months since these men were engaged in one
of the most desperate wars of modem times—a war
fought out to “the bitter end” with every circum
stance of passion and fury. To expect that tbey
should now look with positivo affection on their con
querors, condemn their most eminent countrymen as
traitors and repudiate as abominable the principles
for which they sacrificed their fortunes and staked
their lives is beyond all reason. It is enough if they
know themselves beaten, if they accept the results
without reserve, if they cherish no idea of deferred
rebellion, and if they are prepared to return to their
former position with a resolution to perform all their
duties as citizens, and with a readiness to roceivo the
warmer impressions which time and intercourse may
bring. These are actually the feelings with which
Gun. Lee describes them as now animated. More, it
must be evident, could not be expected; but if more
is desired it is manifest that the result can only
be secured by that very policy which the President
has avowed, and which the radicals are so fanati
cally opposing. If something is still to be done—as
nobody need deny—before a Virginian can look upon
the'Uiiion as he looked ton years ago, it can only be
accomplished, as Gen. Lee affirmed, by liberal anti
conciliatory conduct on thn part of the Government.
If passivo acquiescence is to be converted into cordial
sympathy, it must be by kind and generous treat
ment. ”
Civil Authority Kully Restored.
The following order has just beeu issued by com
mand of the President It clearly defines the extent
of military authority, and restores all the privileges
and protection of the law to all citizens who have uo
connection with either the army or navy. At length

Whereas some military commanders are embar*
rassed by doubts as to the operation of the proclama
tion of the President, dated the 2d day ot April, 1866,
upon trials by military courts-martial and military
commissions. To remove such doubts, it is ordered
by the President that —
Hereafter, whenever offences committed by civilians
are to ho triad where civil tribunals are in existence
which can try them, their cases are not authorized to
be, and will not he brought before military courts-
martial or commissions, but will be committed to the

to improve Southern feeling, they propose to iiimet
political disgrace and humiliation on the Southern
people. They pronounce them to be still disaffected,
or not-sufficiently well affected, and, by way of coucil-
aling them, would condemn them to alienation and
outlawry. Such a policy stands self-convicted, ror its
only result must be to make bad worse.
It is not probable that a Virginian looks upon the
Government of the Union exactly like a New Eng
lander; no reasonable person would expect that he
should do so. It is enough for the purposes of pru
dent reconstruction if the States lately in secession
have abandoned all ideas of independence, aud are
prepared to make the best of their position us mem
bers of the Union once more. The rest must necessa
rily be a work of time, but it will be accomplished
most speedily, as well as most surely, through such a
policy as the President now advocates. He does not
desire to swamp the South with a swarm of black
voters, nor to place the. negro m a position of invidi
ous and perilous antagonism toward the white man.
He asks only for simple professions of political hones
ty. s . He stipulates that the Southern States shall fore
go their views oi secess.on, acknowledge and confirm
the abolition of slavery now and forever, deal fairly
with the enfranchised slaves, aud repudiate the debt
contracted for the purpose of tho rebellion.' To these
conditions they are willing to assent, and tho Presi
dent would open the doors of Congress to them and t>o
restore the Union. What his opponents desire, or
profess to desire, we may collect from the examina
tion to which General Lee was subjected. They de
mand impossibilities, for it is simply absurd to re
quire that the South should humbly and thankfully
kiss the rod after tho fashion they prescribe. The
policy of the President, on the other hand, is a policy
not only of moderation, but of promise. It bids fair
to bring back the South to those sentiments of per
fect concord which the radicals pretend to demand.
It is Gen. Lee’s opinion that such a policy, aided by
the indispensable co-operation of time, will really pro
duce this effect, but it needs no argument to show
that a policy of provocation and oppression continued
after victory must intensify and perpetuate that very
hostility which it is intended to extinguish.
T reason In Georgia.
An extract from a private letter from Georgia, to a
gentleman in this city, says:
“Our country here is in turmoil, and talks loudly of
war. To the shame of many who have held high po
sitions formerly, they prophecy another clash of arms.
The President, according to their plan, is to l»e tho
head of the rebels, and then ‘wo poor secesh will get
i .x.* ” lg ia to be all on the
„ _ man talks war. What
>lish heads! They do not inina that a |K>wer ner»
to do in that event. I hope that this will prove only
a temporary Hurry. It all depends on Johnson; though
I believe that at his nod all this section would rally to
him against Congress in twenty-four hours, and be
ready to organize for another con test.”—Detroit Dost.
We give the above as a specimen of the letters that
are written North by radical enemies in our inid9t.
Tlie Caster Celebration at Rome.
The London Times' correspondent ia Borne writes
that the Easter observances in April were impres
sive. As soon as High Mass was finished in St. Pe
ter’s thousands thronged out of the church, and then
the Papal procession, each individual clothed in the
gay and splendid habiliments of Ea9ter, emerged and
ascended the “ Scala Begis,” pausing now and then,
however—canons and bishops and cardinals—to turn
round and gaze downward and through the long cor
ridor, on the mass of human beings which extended
far as the eye could see to the Ponte St. Angelo.
Meanwhile the great bell of St Peter’s announced the
approach of the Vicar of Christ; there was the most
profound silence, and then a few moments later, the
buzz of a multitude of voices, the shouts of officers to
their troops, and the sound of the trumpets told that
Pius IX had taken his place in the balcony from
which he and his predecessors had so often blessed
the city and the world.
A scene of marvelous grandeur it was, and yet one
marked by contradictions. Full eighty thousand faces
gazed upwards on one venerable old man who, though
physically weak, controls the minds of millions, and
holds empires in continual agitation. # Below were
swords and bayonets aud cannons—above were the
crosier and the cross ; below were brilliant uniforms
and men of war on foot and on horsebaok—above were
priests of Christ aud the representative of the Prince
of Peace himself. Raised aloft in his chair of State
the Pope recited a prayer, and in so clear a voice that
not a tone was lost; then stretching forth his arms as
if to embrace the multitude, he gradually withdrew
them, clasped them in the attitude of silent prayer,
and finally bestowed his bemliction on the city and
tho world. The cannon of St. Angelo announced the
fact; cannon from other points repeated it; one after
another they thundered away, while all the bells in
Rome chimed in and swelled the general chorus.
The day terminated with that magic spectacle, the
brilliancy and fairy beauty of which no political or
religious feeling can mar. Standing on Monte
Pincio, for instance, there is soon after Ave Maria, a
sudden burst of light, and by some invisible architect
a temple rises in the heavenfi, tlie cupola of such ex
cellent proportions that the mere beauty of its form
attracts and fixes the eye ; but then also it is radiant
with and formed of light. Once, twice it changes,
and then at the sound of the great bell the silver is
changed for the gold. It is almost too beautiful, as
an Italian would say, and otten as I have seen it, I
joined in them voluntary exclamations of wonder
which burst from the crowds about me. Aud

In Coahuila, at Santa Isabel, the liberals had (to

off' Oakville he picked up a skiff containing two boys
nearly exhausted, and a girl who had died from expo

from Oakville with the two boys and three girls, but
two of the girls were washed overboard and drowned.
Their ages were under 15.

from Forney’s Chronicle:
The course of Andrew Johnson reminds ns of a man
who deserted a bad cause (with which, in spite of all
his professions, he heartily sympathized.) when con
vinced that it was sure to fail, and who, after years of
professed devotion to a good cause (to which he was
as heartily opposed,) deserted it when he apprehend

“Pepper,” Joe Neil’s dog, of this city, which resulted
in the death of Jennings’ dog, after a hard-cortested
fight of two hours and twenty minutes. The dog
killed, during the last three months, has fought iu

for large sums cf money, and, until this last encoun
ter, defeated his opponents in eWty instance.' No
money was staked on the match. TYVas to have been
for $500 or $1,000, but owing to some misunderstand
ing, the money was not put up, and the dogs were
fought on their “respective merit*.” Jennings, we
understand after the fight, which result* ‘
of his “champion” dog, bought the Bail
per,” the victor, paying $600 for him.—Buffalo Ex
press.
Disgraceful Scene in a Church.—A disgraceful
scene, worse if possible than any ot the riots which
led to Mr. King's retirement from St. George’s in the
East, was witnessed at Northmoor, near Bristol, on
Easter Sunday. The incumbent of Northmoore is an
extreme “ritualist,'’ and great preparations were
made in his church for the Easter Sunday service. On
Satnrday night, however, the church wag entered, the
decorations were destroyed, the clergyman's “rib
bons”—aa tbe Bishop of London would ssy—were ent
to pieces, and the sacramental wine was drunk. On
Sunday morning the church was crowded to auffoca-
tion by a mob of ruffians, some of whom coolly
lighted their pipes and began to smoke, while others
raised -the most discordant noisea. “We won’t go
home till morning” being among the sounds which
rendered it impossible to proceed with the service.—

Whitewashing a Fine Abt.—There is a
strong probability, says the Richmond Times,
of “Bummer Butler’’ being whitewashed
into a Rtqte of moderate respectability.
During the past fortnight his prospects have
brightened very materially. In the first
place, two valiant bank officials rushed into
print to vindicate Butler from all suspicion
of having pocketed the funds of a savings
bauk. In the seednd place, the counsel of a
New Orleans broker, named Smith, from
whom Butler took fifty thousand dollars in
gold, gave him u certificate last week that
the seizure was properly made, and the cer
tificate so delighted B. F. that he straight
way paid over the fifty thousand dollars to
Smith’s attorney. The certificate was well
worth the money, and so emboldened Butler
that he at once swore that the great rebel
lion had bankrupted him.
After the skillful whitewashing of Cata-
line by Louis Napoleon in his life of Caesar,
the elaborate defence of Nero and Calligula
by Thomas De Quincey, and the complete
vindication of-Judas Iscariot by a German
philosopher, we think there is a strong prob
ability of somebody’s making one of these
days, a “whited sepulchre,” at least of But
ler’s reputation.
—It ia reported that “trichina spiralis” has ap
peared in Quebec, breaking out upon tbe Ain of
bosun beings.
