How Jeff. Davis Should be Tbixs.—We publish
below a petition, presented in tee Senate yesterday by
Mr. Sumner, which, although but tue petitiou of oue
man—a soldier in the Union army in the late war
against treason—ia a fair illustration of the prevailing
leeiing of apprehension that Justice may be cheated in
the case of tbe great arcb traitor. Of his guilt they
know there ia no doubt. . It ie patent as the aun la
Heaven at midday. The conviction of it is aa univer
sal and as pervading us the air in which we live and
move, and no vail of sophistry can conceal It. Feo-
ple scarcely have patience to see days consumed in
taking evidence as to facts which have passed into the
history of the world, and stand conspicuously in its
blackest pages : they feel restive under the prospect
of lung, ingenious and elaborate arguments as to
technical points of law, when tbo voice of tbs law and
the constitution, both of which have been outraged
by crimes of hendish beiuousness, cry aloud for the
execution of Justice. This feeling may not be an ar.

WasHEtoxos, May 19, 1886.
The radicals in ths Senate are very much distracted
about tbe Constitutional Amendment now pending.
Wade, tbe mo3t violent of the radicals, has intro-
duced an amendment of his own, which is much less
objectionable than the amendment under considera
tion. The clause to disfranchise the Southern people
until after the next election meets with great opposi
tion. There seems to be very little doubt but that
tbe amendment will foil to pass the Senate in its pre
sent form. If it passes at all. It will be after important
modifications. But it is suspected that this is just what
the contrivers of this plan desired. It was necessary
to pretend to do something, but if this could keep
things as they were without incurring any censure
therefor, the sectional irritation would be on the in
crease, and the South not being counted in the elec
tions, their chanoe of holding on to power would be
increased. The question of reunion is approaohed
by the radical politicians generally as a mere question
gument to set aside the forms of a civil trial and pro- | o'f party; the important consideration with them is
ceed to mors summary measures, Out it should be au ! tow t0 manage it so as to keep their party in power

The following letter, published in tho Galveston
News, was addressed to CoL Thos. McKinney:
3an Fuaxcisco, Oct. 29, 1365.
Dear Friend:—Along time has elapsed since we
have heard of each other,^and many'terrible, sad
things have occurred since we met; let me hope that
time has not altered the kindly feelmgs that existed
between our families, aud that Providence has not
stricken those you love with the heavy hand that has
fallen upon mine. I would like very much to Bee you
all once more, and often think of the old days of
quiet in Texas, days unhappily never to return.
You have heard, I suppose, of the loss of my dear
son Sidney, just oue year after his father. He was a
grand, noble boy, all I could wish for my child to be,
just eighteen a few days before I lost him. God has
afflicted me, dear friend, almost beyond my strength
to bear. My son Hancock McCiung (dungy) is now
clerk and cashier of tbe New Aimoden Quicksilver
Miues, about seventy-five miles from San Francisco:
lie gels $1U0& month and helps to support me and
tne little onea. Maggie, fourteen years old next
mouth, is an inch taller than I am, aiid Griffin, born
at Sau Antonio, is eight years old, and little Lizxie,
burn after her lather left here, now four years old, are
all my family now. I am teaching school, and
although I have been assisted by tbo Southern people
here, I find it difficult to get along. I have thought
that, perhaps, you would kiudly take charge of tbs
property of my children in Texas, and see that It is
uot sold for Uses. It would help me a good deal if I
could sell any portion of it advantageously; but Mr.
Green tells me he thicks no sale could t now be made.
You will be the best judge of that. I have given Dr.
Hitchcock apower of attorney to sell tor me, ho has
the power to appoint you if you will accept. I send
you s list of tho lands; Swenson at Austin waa tbe
general agent, and-Starr & Arnory in Nacogdoohea;
you can gat all necessary information from thorn. I
wouid be glad to hear from you soon. Addrees Mrs.
E. G. Johnston, under cover to It. W Heath, San
Francisco. Will you give my kindest love to Mrs.
McKinney, and accept for yourself tbe friendly re
gards of your old mend,

had been raised against the personal character of the
P esident, and expressed his firm belief, established
by personal experience, that no man was more as
siduously and conscientiously engaged in the dis
charge of his duty than Andrew Johnson. (Ap
plause.]
He illustrated the policy of Mr. Lincoln in tho re
commendation of Louisiana aud Arkansas to admis
sion into the UnloD, which had been indorsed at the
Baltimore Convention, and by a majority ia both
Houses of. ong css a year ago. to show that Mr. John
son's policy was not a new one, but an obedience to
the wishes of the Union party. Instead of the Presi
dent proving false, the men who were now attempt
ing to head it were preventing the grand objects aud
intentions—the restorotlou of the Union and the en
forcement of the laws. r
Mr. Cowan followed in an eloquent argument in do
fence of sustaining the law by virtue of which the re
bellion had been crushed. Tbe President's plan of
reconstruction relies alone upon the authority of the
Constitution and the laws of theland. If the South
ern people had not forgotten their obedience to this,
there would have been no rebellion. He was op
posed to any amsudment to the Constitution at tho
present time. (Great applause.^
Ad endorsers-of the President’s policy, he mentioned
Messrs. Seward, Stanton, Wells, Grant, Sherman,
Meade, Hancock and others, whose names were
vociferously cheered. On the other hand, in opposi
tion, he placed the names of Thad. Stevens, B. F.
Butler aud others, tho mention of which created
mingled bisees and slight applause.
His hopes was in tne virtue and integrity of the
people both North and South. The Southern people
had suffered severely, and now was the time to ex
tend mercy, after they had surrendered to the law.
After other speeches by distinguished gentlemen,
the meeting adjourned,
The Treasury Department has hoped unti 1 a recent
period that Congress would permit the payment of
such persons at the South as had been holding public
office in tbo South since the end of the war without ta
king the test oath; but tbe Department have abandoned
this expectation. It seema to be thought in the de
partment that there ia not a particle of chance of any
thing being done on thie line. The dominant party
in Congress are resolved to hold on to this policy of
the test oath, find while they can control legislation !
no one will be permitted to hold office under the I
United States except he can take the test oath. This
is a fundamental article of their policy, and all per- ,
sons Interested might ka well realize this truth at 1
once.
The hitch in the Connecticut Senatorial election is a :
grqat annoyance to the radioals here. It seems doubt- j
ful whether they can elect their nominee. Terry. This
was the way matters went in the New Jersey Senate j
rial election.
The violence of Thaddeus Stevens, the leader of the |
radicals in the House, which is constantly displaying
itself in some revolting form, is damaging his own
party. Republican papers censure his exclamation
that " the rebels ought to be put in the penitentiarv
of hell, and kept there by bayonets." This morose
and malignant old man ia seventy-three years of age, !
and though he must, In the course of nature, be very ;
near the beginning of tho end, yet he seems to have
acquired nous of the moderation of age. Els violence
is in such bad tute that it excites disgust. Low man
ners and high position seem to go badly together.
Associated with power we look for dignity, and we
hope at least for decency.
The radicals are very much incensed with Mr. Se
ward, who they pretend to consider as the inspirer of
the President's policy. Mr. Seward is gone home to
pull the wires in New York. Whils Mr. Seward is en
tirely with tbs President In his general policy I am
informed that he does not seethe advantage of the
violent breach the President has, in some degree,
himself made between tbe Congress tnd himself. Mr.
Seward’s idea was to avoid an abrupt secession of the
Republican party, and gradually build up a conserva
tive organization within the Republican lines.
The President has been obliged to prohibit Raphael
Semmes from exercising the offlje of Probate Judge.
The election of parsons so distinctly aud prominently
identified with the secession movement is a great
weight for the President to carry. The Southern peo
ple geem to seize opportunities to break tbe Presi
dent’s back. They ought to remember every step in
a certain direction taken by them is welcomed with
delight by the radicals. Are the Southern people
never going to learn any policy ?
The investigations of Generals Steedman and Ful-
larton continue to bring to light circumstances ex
tremely damaging to the Fredmeu’s Bureau. All the
iufinite ramifications of their rascalities ought to be
probed to the very quick. The Southern people might
be useful in ibis regard. Lot them, the true friends
of the negroes be examined, and report'all the officers

negroes.

The much abused town of Weldon is giving evi
dence of a brighter future. Every vacant house has
been occupied,' and demand made for more, to ac
commodate the iuoreasiug population. Several new
business establishments have been opened, all of
which are doing a prosperous business. All this
prosperity Is owiDg to the almost positive certainty of
this place becoming a town of manufacturing Interest
as soon as the country somewhat recuperates from its
present prostrate condition. The superior water

wealth, to pay this place* visit.

Granger, of the United States army, passed through
this place on Friday night last on his way to East
Tennessee, it ie said by order of the President, to let
the people thare know that the war had ended end
that he had so issued bis proclamation. We learn that
the General has ordered oil persons who have re
ceived orders from the “Loyal League" to leave the
State to report the same to him, and to remain at
their homes; that the offenders shall be brought to
trial and punished. The General says law aud order
has to be restored in Tennessee if it takes an army to
do it.

We have published the deliberate murder of s politi
cal preacher, of the radical school ol pulpit politicians,
at Bedford, Indiana, by Dr. Netvland of that place,
the murder being committed because tho reverend
villain bad seduc. d aud ruined the doctor's daughter,
who used his influence aa a preacher over her, while
she was yet at the childish age of 14, to accomplish
her ruin, and by threats had maintined his asce ndency
over her tbl sue was 18, without the knowledge of her
parents. Wheu the doctor learned the terrible truth,
be sent word to the family of Evans that be would
kill him at sight. When they met, tbe guilty man
fell ou Ills knees and bogged for bis life. In vain.
Dr. Newlaud sent a ball crashing through his heart.
We quote from tho Indianapolis Herald:
The Newland-Evans trial Is now in progress in the
Floyd Circuit Court, whence it was brought on a
change of venue from Lawrence county. The details
of the tragedy are widely known. On the 5th of
March last, Dr. Benjamin Newland, of Bedrord, learned
the fact that his daaghter, a beautiful girl iu tbe first
blush of womanhood, educated and accomplished, had
been seduced by the Rev. Madison Evans, at one time
her pastor, aud as her teacher, the tutor of her early
youth, The foul act had been accomplished ere the
girl had reached the age of puberty, and while in her
girlish innocence. She was a pupil of her seducer.
The victim had been led on to tbe frequent commis
sion of acts of uuchostity by the villian, and by threats
from him of exposure and ruin, and the most odious
wiles of the seducer, she had been held for near three
years in his venomous coils. The girl finally became
enctente; longer concealment Of her situation was
impossible, aud her father waa informed by her of her
ruin, and in the frenzy of hi3 grief and despair at this
calamity whidt had fallen upon his household and
one h« held dearer than his life, he slew ther destroyer
of hia daughter’s virtue and his family’s happiness.
He was indicted for murder by tbe grand jury of Law
rence county, and arraigned to answer the charge.
Tho case excites the deepest interest.
James B. Glover, on* of the- witnesses for ths de
fence, testified as follows : Saw Dr. Newland at Carl
ton's drug store about 8 o’clock ou the evening of the
5th; as 1 stepped in, Newland remarked, “Do you
want to arrest me?’’ I said, “what for?” He said,
“I have killed Madison Evans." Newland was much
excited—mere than ever I saw him before ; I asked
him why be killed Evans ; be said Jus daughter bad
come borne from College rnlned ; that Evans ruined
her in the garb of a preacher—commencing when she
was but fourteen years old > can't remember distinctly
what Newland said about Evans being her school t
teacher; I think he aaid Evans had accomplished his
designs under the garb of a preacher ; he had no die- 1
