Bald Eagle—Mr. Davis on Senator Benton, Ex-
President Buchanan, and Fresident Andrew John-
son—l*rcjparatlons to remove Mr. Davis to Carroll
Hall.
September tith.—Called upon Mr. Davis once or
twice. I remember, between the interval of my last
date and this, but have lust notes. Called to-day, ac-
ompanied by Captain Titlow, Third Pennsylvania ar
tillery, officer of the day, and found prisoner in a more
cumiortable state of mind and body than he had en
joyed for some days. Healthy granulations forming
m the carbuncle.
Mr. Davis said the clamor about “treason” in our
Northern newspapers wa6 oniy an evidence how little
our editors were qualified by education for their posi
tion?. None seemed to remember that treason to a
.State was possible, no less than to the United States ;
and between the horns of this dilemma there could be
Uttle choice. In the North, where the doctrine* of
irate sovereignty was little preached or practiced, this
difficulty might not seem so great; but in the South a
man had presented the unpleasaut alternatives of be
ing guilty ol treason to bis State when it weut out of
the Tuion, by remaining what was called “loyal” to
me Federal Government, or being guilty of treason to
the General Government by remaining faithful to his
State. These terms appeared to hhve little significance
at the North, but were lull of potency in the South,
•ad had to be regarded in every political calculation.
Mr. Davis said he had been much interested all the
morning watching from the grated embrasure, near
which his bed lay, the free night of fish hawks, so
plvntiful during the summer iu Hampton Hoads, and
some of which still lingered. The bird was a sacred
fcuest, visiting the coast on particular days in every
season, and carrying with its appearance the glad tid
ings to so many fishermen that the shoals of shad,
alewives—mossbmik«*rs*he believed they called them
m the North—and blue fish, were upon the coast.—
The fish hawk or osprey was associated with the bald-
headed eagle in such intimate relations, that to de
scribe the habits of the one, necessitated some de
scription of the habits ol the other.
The osprey or fish hawk visited the coast in early
9pnug, on the same day that the fish he had named
made their appearance. It built its nest in some dead
tree standing near a barn or a house, long experience

upon, the osprey took nothing but the support of a
sincie decaying tree. Here it huddled together in the
forks nearest the ground, a couple of cart loads ol twigs
and brauches to form i .s nest—sticks varying in thick
ness from a man's little finger to that of a cart rung. On
these were laid coatings of meadow-grass, aud finally
the feathers from its own breast, and so the nest was
made and in it the eggs deposited. From this perch
the fish hawk mother kept a wary eye upon the waters,
its male being close at hand, either to firing it food or
protect the eggs or young during its absence. At the
hrst tipple, betokening a shoal ol fish in the distance,
away sailed the inaio or female parent, poising over
the surface of the waters on balanced wing until the
tub— who had seen its shadow coming and struck for
the bottom—should reappear. Theu it folded its wings
and dropped dowu like a bullet, re-emerging presently
wiih a shad, or blue fish, or alewifc. varying in weight
irom half a pound to four pounds, clutched firmly in
its talons—the head of the fish being always directly
under its own head, which was not idle iu picking out
the eyes. Thus it sailed along the wateT for half a
dozen yards up til the grasp of its talons was made
more secure ; then suddenly rose on perpendicular
wing in the air aud struck off for its nest near the
urn yard
“Bat there is another bird on the coast,” added
Mr. Davis, ‘for whom these fishing operations have
luuch interest. It is the bald eagle, who builds on
some crag, it there be any crag within vision of the
■**; and it not, in the tallest tree that he can find, and
iiirtkcSL tromthe haunts of men. As he sees the fish-
Lawk sail forth, the eagle rivets his far-piercing eyes
° n bird’s motions. Then, as the osprey rises
vith ins prey, the eagle shakes out the broad vans of
tiis wuigs, looks at them to see that every feather is in
tisce, and sullenly swoops upward into the air with
Uit assurance of a conqueror. There is a wild scream
irom tue osprey as it endeavors to rise higher, not
aau?ficd as yet but some other fish-hawk with its prize
bt the eagle’s quarry. A few moments more and
me hunt is certain; the fish-hawk drops Its prey, and
aifes out to sea with redoubled soreams, while the
kfave eagle rapidly decends with unblinking eyelids
u P° n the prize than has been dropped for his morn-
mg or noon repast, often seizing it before it strikes
zt*. ground or water, and proceeds to make a meal.
is the history of these birds,” concluded Mr.
‘and I have watched them with the most lively
•uterest, though the circumscribed view from my iu-
‘doiure gave me no means of observing more than the
«ploi § of the gulls aud fish-hawks in the capture of
their prey.’*
“Ihia rule of prey and being preyed on,” added Mr,
fia\i8, “appeared universal through nature. Up to the
toot*tool of man, no beast, or bird, or fish, could
pointed out who did not prey on some minor crea-
*}° n tit? animal or vegetable world, and was not
preyed on iu turn. Even with man, the stronger by
^ re - Vfccl upon and absorbed the weaker; and
UUs ' ’‘hough a harsh philosophy, was the sum and re-
* ail of worldly experience. The terms virtue and
V* w . fere comparative, not absolute. The man of
LAturai virtue might have no virtue at ail. It is the
who restrains his passions when they are stfong-
. who is entitled to wear the crown.” Mr. Davis
•cl quoted, though rarely quoting poetry, the well-
knuwu hues from limns:
Who knows the heart—if* he alone
Decidedly can try us;
He knows each chord—its various tons,
Each spring, its various bias;
Then at the balance let's be mute,
We never can adjust it—
What’s done we partly ihay compute,
Hut know not what resisted.

Wm be, or seem to wish to foel at homein thedr
society. Some casual word dropped in debate, though
uttered without a thought of his existence, would
seem to wound him to the quick, and again he would
shrink back into the self-imposed isolation of his
earlier and humbler life, as if to gain strength from
touching his mother earth. In a word, while other
members of the Senate were Democrats in theory or
as their political faith, Mr. Johnson was a Democrat
of pride, conviction, and self-assertion—a man of the
people, who not only desired no higher grade of
classification, but could not be forced into its accept
ance or retention when friendly efforts were made to
thatend. He was an immense worker and student,
but always In the practicalities of life; little in the
graces of literature. His habits ware marked by
temperance, industry, courage, and unswerving per
severance; also, by inveterate prejudices or precon
ceptions on certain points, and theso no arguments
could shake. His faith in the judgment of the peo-
people was unlimited, aud to their .decision ho was
always ready to submit. One of the people by birth,
he remained ao by couviotion, continually recurring
to bia origin, though he was by no means the only
Senator of the South iu like circumstances. Mr.
Davis mentioned Aaron V. Brown, ot Mississippi, who
Had been Postmaster-General under President Bu
chanan and several others, who were of like Demo
cratic education with Mr. Johnson, but who seemed
to forget, and in regard to whom it was forgotten by
their associates, that they had ever held less social
rank than that to which their talents and industry
had raised them. Of Mr. Johnsou's character justice
was an eminent feature, though not uncoupled—as
true justice rarely fails to be—with kindliness and
generosity. He was eminently faithful to his word,
and possessed a courage which took the form of
angry resistance if urged to dp, or not do, anything
which might clash with his convictions of duty. He
was indifferent to money aud careless of praise or
censure when satisfied of the necessity of any line of
action. But for bis decided attitude against seces
sion, he would probably have been given the place of
Mr. Stephens on the Presidential ticket of the Con
federacy. Mr. Stephens, indeed, held the same atti
tude up to the last moment; but on the secession of
his Stkfrr had two alternatives of State or Federal
7 * treason,” as it was called, presontod, and chose the
latter.
Mr. Davis remarked that Mr. Buchanan more ful
filled tbo European ideal of a Chief-of-Statc iu his
social relations than any American since Washington.
He was dignified, polished, reticent, and suave; fond
of lady gossip and the atmosphere of intrigue; a
stickler for the ceremony of power. His misfortune
was, as regarded his reputation North, that he could
not forget in a month, and at the dictation of a party
only representing the majority of one section, all those
principles which had been imbibed in his youth and
formed the guiding-stars of his career through over
fifty years of public service. Of Mr. Cushing, oi Mas
sachusetts, Mr. Davis spoke iu terms of praise,
eulogizing his general talents, and more especially
hlB soundness as an exponent of Constitutional law.
He also referred to Mr. George M. Dallas as his model
for the externals of a diplomatic representative, quot
ing something he had once known Mr. Cobden, of
England, to say or write: iu substance, that Dallas re
minded him of some stately courtier-portrait iu an old
picture-gallery, suddenly clotbiug itself with flesh and
stepping dowu from the wall to gain pace with living
men, while preserving all the passionless immobility
of its pictorial experience.
After quitting prisoner, proceeded, by invitation of
Gen. Miles, and iu company with that officer, to make
an ina pectipn of the fort, for the purpose of selecting
mors healthful quarters for the State prisoner. De
cided that rooms in second story of the south end of
Carroll Hall would best suit—a building long used as
officers’ quarters, near the main sally-port, and in
Which nearly every officer of the old army was for
some months quartered after quitting West Point, and
before being assigned to general duty elsewhere. It
is a tradition in aud arouud Old Point Comfort, that
both Grant and Sherman occupied iu their day the
very chambers selected for the second incarceration of
Mr. Davia. As with the casemate, there were to be
two rooms used for the prisoner’s confinement. In
the outer one.a lieutenant aud two soldiors were con
stantly stationed on guard, having a view of the inte
rior chamber through a grated door. Opposite this
door was a fireplace. To its right, when facing the
door, a window heavily grated, and with a sentinel
continually on duty before it, pocibg up and down the
piazza. Opposite the window a door leading into the
corrodor, but permanently fastened with heavy iron
claps, and iu this door a sliding-panel in which the
face of a sentinel was continually framed by
night and day, ready to report to his officer the first
sign of any attempt on the prisoner’s part to shuffle
on this mortal coil by any act of self-violence. It was
of this face, with its unblinking eyes, that Mr. Davis
so bitterly complained in after days; but this is antici
pating. The prisoner, as was said of Lafayette, is per
haps “not sick enough yet,” and has to suffer some
further weeks of exposure iu his present casemate.
The rooms being selected, Gen. Miles gave orders to
the Engineer Department for their speedy conversion
from quarters to a prison, the piazza being prolongated
and raised by a flight oistairs, so that access to theiram-
parts could be had by Mr. DaviB without a descent to
the ground-tier, which invariably caused a crowd to
collect, with its usual unpleasaut attendants of staring
aud whispering commentaries.
Scpt4rn\0er 1th.—Called on Mr. Davis, accompanied
by Capt. Corlis, aide-de-camp to Gen. Miles, officer of
the day. Found the health of prisoner not differing
from the preceding day, and so reported to the Gen
eral commanding in the bulletin required of me at
this time.
Told Mr. Davis, thinking it would olieer him and
help to Bootho his n £ rTOUI,ne '’' J t i, a L«J.fe a 4ofSSS?£Lol2
quarters. Was sorry for this afterwards, as the pro
tracted and unforseeu delays in his removal only made
him more paintully fretful in regard to the poisonous
atmosphere of his present casemate. Had only a brief
interview with Mr. Davis, there being much sickness
in the fort then, and many demands upon my time.
Mentioned that 1 thought in a few days oi paying
Richmond a visit, Gen. Alfred H. Terry, my old com-
nyindor in the 10th Army Corps, having now his head
quarters at that place. I bad spent many days in front
of the city as Chief Medical Officer of the 10th Corps,
and Acting Medical Director of the Army of the James:
had once caught a glimpse of the promised laud from
the Pisgah of a battery on tbe south-east, and about
four miles removed, but had not then been permitted
to enter. Mr. Davis pleasantly replied that if Rich
mond were my land of promise, the Caleb and Joshua
visiting it would carry back but slender bunches of
grapes. His people had suffered terrible privations,
but with the severities and necessities of war removed,
he hoped they would now be better supplied.

September 11 (h —Called on Mr. Davis accompa-
panied by Capt Biekly, 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, offi
cer of the day. Found him convalescent in all rcspect3,
able to walk on the ramparts ahd in good spirits, consid
ering bis situation. Told him, as he was well, I was
about starting that day for Richmond, to begone about
a week, aud would be happy to carry any social mes
sages he might wish to send any frieuds in that city.
Mr. Davis asked me to call upon his former pastor, the
Rev. Dr. Minncgerode, Rector of St Paul's; also upon
other friends, giving me their names, who would be
glad to receive me.. He requested me to make his
afflictions in jirison appear as light as possible, for
they had sufficient troubles of their own without bor-
rowiug moro from bis misfortunes. He also said
Richmond bad been a very beautiful city in the days
gone by ; but what with years of military operations
aud tbe lire, he feared its appearance must now be
sadly altered. “Ob, the anxious moments I have
spent in that city!” exclaimed Mr. Davis. “Cares
that noue can understand who have not been called to
fill the first positions of responsibility m revolution
ary times. What hopes aud fears, tried by enemies
without and murmurors or mutineers within—though
of the latter there were comparatively few., Taking
all they suffered into view, my dear people stood firm
aud upheld my hands with a devotion aud unanimity
for which I can never be too grateful, God bless
them, one aud all, aud grant them the sustaining in
fluence of His grace I”
Mr. Davis spoke the last sentence with great fer
vor, his thin hands clasped, aud tears brimming up iu
his eyes, though not allowed to run over. It was in
such moments that his face though not handsome,
judged by any mere artistic standard, became very
striking and noble in the delicate expression of lts in
tellectual power and fervor.
Mr. Davit became aolicitous for removal from his
casemate, and wished to know when his new quarters
in Carroli Hall would be ready ? Would he be likely
to be transferred there before my return ? Told him
I hoped to find him there on coming hack, but could
give no definite -assurance—the engineers having to
makt some alterations in the rooms, and possibly
some authorizing order being required from Wash
ington.
To question of Mr. Davis, replied that Mr. Clay was
far from well, extremely nervous, a prey, to dyspepsia
and want of sleep, but not in any immediate danger.
Clay was my complaining patient, but Mr. Mitchell
was a model of patience and good humor, though ter
ribly afflicted at times with asthmetic difficulties. Mr.
Davis answered with a smile, Uist Mitchell was used
to It—had been In tbls or a worse strait before ; but
allowance must be made for himself and Clay,
who wero only serving their apprenticeship to Baron
Ttwnck’s profession. Took leave of prisoner, assu
ring him I would call on the friends he indicated in
Richmond, deliver his messages of affectionate te
rn ambiance, and bring back all the social news.
September 220.—Called on Mr. Davia for the first
time since returning from Richmond, accompanied by
Capt. Titlow, 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, officer of the
day. Found be had been inquiring for me several
days, in consequence of suffering premonitory nymp-
toiaa of a return of the erysipelas to his free. Re
ported hit condition to Major uen. Miles, respectfully
asking permission to call in Col. Pineo, Medical ln-
apector eff the Department, for consultation.
Mr Davis inquired about friends in Richmond, ask
ing with a smile, was he soil remembered there, or
whether it had been found convenient to erase his
name from tbe tablets of memory f Asaared him that
hia friends appeared most solicitous for bis welfare,
especially the ladies, who had overwhelmed my wife
Gen. Jackson ("Stonewall,") appeared to have some
lively presentiment ot death shortly before its occur
rence, aud bad asked that his only monument might
be a battle-flag hoisted over hia grave until such time
as the cause for which he fought was crowned with
victory and secure from aggression. Speaking of a
message of condolence and cheer the Rev. D. Minne-
gerode had aeut him, Mr. Davis spoke In warm term*
of the learning, zeal, eloquence, fidelity, and Christian
courage of that gentleman. Gen. Leu had occupied a
pew io the same church, and unless when absent un
avoidably in tbe public service, was one of tbe moat
regular aud devout attendants. Gen. Lee was, un
doubtedly, oue of the greatest soldiers of the age, if
not the .very greatest of this or any other country;
but bad be drawn sword ou the Federal side, must
have been remitted to obscurity, under our system, ui
the first six mouths of the war. Nothing, however,
shook the confidence of military meu, competent to
iorm a just opinion, in bia superior qualifications for
high command, and his career had nobly vindicated
tbe calm estimate of professional judgment.
Mr. Davis inquired anxiously what sigus there,
were, if any, of his removal to. the uew quarters I bad
mentioned before my Richmond visit ? He was niore
than ever satisfied of the unhealtbinees of his case
mate, aud tbs nights were now growing so chill, that
oue might as well be condemned to sleep in a stone cof
fin—a little better, for when tbe coffin comes tbo body
has no feeling.
September 23d.—Called frith Lieutenant A. H. Bow
man, 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, officer of the day.—
Found the condition of Mr. Davis not materially
changed, and so reported to Geo. Miles.
Prisoner renewed his questions about the proposed
change iu his place of confinement, begging me, if I
knew anything, even the worst, that he was to be kept
as now until death put au ehd to hia sufferings, not to
conceal it from him any longer; that suspense was
more injurious to him tbau could be tbe most painful
certainty. Assured him that I had no further infor
mation. A place had been selected for bis incarcera
tion in Carroll Hall, tbe requisite changes in the
rooms made, and I beard no reason for bis non-trans
fer. IT I did so, he shonld be informed immediately.
Recurring to my Richmond visit, Mr. Davis made
many minute inquiries relative' to former friends, the
i apparent condition ot tbe tradcs-people in regard to
prosperity, the social relations, if any were allowed,
between the occupying army and the inhabitants. He
said bis people, having done all their duty in war, bad
now the two duties of forgetting the past, preparing to
accept tbe future. Ono of their great troubles In
agricultural districts must be tbe difficulty of getting
draft animals—horses, mules, and oxen having been
so nearly swept away by the wtr. .With nothing to
regret in tbe past but its failure, the failure aud its
consequences shonld be accepted-in good faith, aud
without a murmer. The futuro la always under tbe
control of resolute men; and with industry and the
influx of Northern and European capital, which must
soou be tempted by the preabuudaut natural re
sources in the South, there could be uo reason why
national prosperity shonld not be fully re-established
within half a dozen years—that U, if the Federal Gov
ernment pursued a wise and generous course, allay-
iug irritations, and diverting the minds of the people
from their unsuccessful sacrifices, bypointing out and
encouraging the splendid rewards of industry.
Mr. Davis renewed my attention to the steady
deterioration of his health, which he regarded as
chiefly due to the unfitness of his cell for a hitman
habitation. Hia head had a continual humming in it,
like the whizzing of .a wound watch when its main
spring is suddenly broken- Little black motes slowly
ascended and descended between his sight and what
ever page he was reading or object inspecting; and
his memory likewise gave distinct indications of losing
its elasticity. The carbuncle, however, was quite
well, having left a deep-red cicatrice where it bad
been, precisely like the bealeil wound of a,Minle bul
let. Mr. Davis bad not much flesh to lose on entering
the fori; but believed he must have lost what little or
it could be spared while still preserving life. Was
glad to see from the papers that General Lee bad ac
cepted the presidency of Washington College, in Vir
ginia. Happy would be tbe pupils who would grow
up under the tutelage, and with the noble exemplar
before them of his pure life, Christian faith, stainless
integrity, aud varied acquirements. The crying sin
of our present educational system is a neglect of the
moral nature, while overloading the Intellec
tual with premature food, which it must bo strained
in digesting.
September 2till.—Called on Mr. Davis, accompanied
by Capt. Bickley, 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, officer oi
tbe day. Prisoner much better. Tbs symptoms of a
return of erysipelas gone. Had enjoyed his walk on
the ramparts, and had seen a young lady on horseback
who saluted him prettily as she passed. Did uot know
when raising his hat that he was bowing to his young
hostess, but was informed she was my daughter. Re
marked that she rode gracefully, sending her his com
pliments, and then commented on the little attention
paid to horseback—the most healthful and delicious
form of exercise—in the Northern States, and more
especially amougst the ladies, who from, their seden
tary habits Would derive most benefit from its prac
tice. When ladies unaccustomed to the saddle did
begin horseback, they bad something like a mania for
fast cantering, or even galloping, it being not only a
pride but wonder to them at the termination of each
ride that they were still iu their seats. This was un
graceful, which shonld be a sufficient bar to its con
tinuance; it was also a strain both on the rider and
beast. A short burat now and then along good parts
of the road was very well occasionally, to warm the
horse and quicken the rider's blood; but a gentle trot
or rack was tbe true gait for all who wished to derive
health from this exercise—more especially ladles; and POBtOr

from the fire (lad been groat, but iu teas than two years
the city would have retrieved a prosperity not only
equalling, bat surpassing any it had yet known. Over
looking Richmond from the top of Gamble Hill, the
clamor of trowels and hammers everywhere resounded
beneath me, snd it seemed like an enormous beehive,
so i icesaant was the Industry. Mentioned that Gen.
Derry, my olfibemmander, had kindly placed the car
riage of Mr. Daria, at my disposal during the visit;
and that I had visited with much interest, and not
without sympathy, tbe beautiful ground of Hollywood
cemetery, where Gen. J. E. B. Stuart andM many,
ether distinguished Officers of the late Southern army
now lie in graves, not nameless indeed, but as yet
with no enduring monuments. Also spoke at having
seen Mr. Lyons, Jndge Quid, the Grants, and many
other friends of his during my stay at the Ballard
Mr. Davis laughed about hia carriage, and mid that
since some “Yankee” pad to ride in it, ha would pre
fer my deling ao to another. During tbe war thac’ had
no Bme to bund monuments to the illustrious ‘ dead—
scarcely time enough or means enough to take cam of
the wounded living. If their"teuse had been satotM
ful, the gratitude of a new nation would., have built

lost their lives in founding it; but with tbe fsitor* of.

T*exan7 Mexican, and Indian riders were among TKe
best he had ever seen; the men of these countries—
for the women never ride, except ou journeys of ne
cessity, horseback as a pleasure or for health—being
several grades beyond their advauce of civilization.
Mr. Davis then spoke of ludiaus dismounting and re
mounting while their ponies were iu full gallop,
swinging their bodies down and picking up stones,
etc.; but added-there were nouc of these feats which
he had uot seen some of our dragoons do better and
more certainly when once taught by tbe Indiaus. As
a general rule, his people were better horsemen than
those of the North. This was due partly to some
remnant of cavalier origin iu their education and sen
timents, but still more to tbe distance between plan
tations, tbe want of good roads, sud their devotion to
agricultral pursuits. Their cavalry had been superior
to ours iu the commencement of the war lor these rea
sons, but their stock. of horses gave out sooner, aud
towards the close of the struggle it became difficult to
mount a Confederate regiment, except by capturing a
regiment of their enemies. Gen. R. Stuart had been
styled the Prince Regent of the South; but the name,
as in many other cases, bad not been to hiB advantage.
He was a rarely gallant and noble gentleman, well
supporting by his character the tradition that royal
blood flowed in hia veins. Subsisting his command
gave him great difficulty—the cavalry having to be
scattered for winter quarters in the Shenandoah val
ley, aud other places more remote, where forage was
plentiful, thus relaxing Its discipline and bringing it
already somewhat jaded iuto the field on the return of
spring.
Air. Davis then spoke of Macauley’s History of Eng
land with a freedom and unreservedness of admiration
anch as he rarely expressed. The portrait painting it
contained was more vivid and subtle than anything on
this side of Plutarch, and gave the surrounding cir
cumstances to serve as a frame with broader scope and
more liveliness of panoramic effect. The sketches of
Clarendon, Shrewsbury, Marlborough, etc., etc., were
uot lifeless simulachre, but instinct with the turbu
lence and intrigues both of the social aud political at
mospheres in which they moved. No events of his
actual life seemed more real than the life into which
he was transferred by the absorbing power of Mscau-
lay’s genius. The portrait of Marlborough, Mr. Davis
thought the great masterpiece of the work, though
drawn with a pencil not sufficiently tempered by al
lowance for the unsettled, revolutionary, and con
spiratorial times in which the-scenee were laid.

Holt’s Perjuror*.
Rev. Stuart Robinson, of Kentucky, one of
tbe most distinguished clergymen of the
country, was in Canada daring the greater
part of the war, and was Bought to be con
nected with the assassination of President
Lincoln, by the chief of the Bobu of mili
tary justice, Joseph Holt, 'When he was
making out a case against ex-President Davis,.
Senator Clay and others. Lately Mr. Robin
son', in a public address at St. Louis, referred
to-this matter as follows:
Suddenly liars and perjurers were at a pre
mium, Government agents were out in search
of them, and they became the heroes .of the
hour, * * * Tbe result was the famous
“suppressed testimony” iu th* Bureau of
military justice. * * * As a matter of
literary curiosity, 'I have lookad over the
witchcraft trials and treason.trial! of the dark
and bloody times -in England to compare
with these proceedings in the bureau of mili
tary justice, and 1 hesitate not to give the
judgment that gullibility more voracious on
the part of the recipients of the testimony,
lawlessness more outrageous on die part of
those who gathered and drew out the testi
mony, perjuries more barefaced,"villainous
and preposterous than the whole of the testi
mony itself, cannot -be- found ail .history
than what ia known as the y tftppressed‘
testimony" - Toannot here go into that ques
tion, but must refer you to my letter to Mr.
Emmons, and still more particularly to the
protest of W. W. Cleary, appended to which
will he found the “suppressed testimony"
examined, and the evidence carefully taken,
In due form of law, establishing, beyond the
possibility of qnesTion that every o»e of. the
three witnesses—Montgomery, Merrit and
Conover—not only perjured themselves in
every statement, but that their perjnries are
of the most preposterous character, and im
possible to be true—that not a nan of a
score or more m&med. by them could possi
bly have been at Montreal fo be seen and
spoken to by them as they represent; that
Meriit himself was not within five hpndred
miles of Montreal daring the month that be
pretended to have been present at conspira
cies there, and to have heard a letter read
from Jefferson Davis, etc.; that Montgomery,
who claimed to be Thompson’s messenger,
never was in Jacob Thompson’s service at all,
being detected as an impostor the first time
he ever met: that Conover, who swore to ail
the interviews and plots with Thompson in
in Montreal, daring the memorable January
and Feprnary, 1865, never saw Thompson,
who was not within three hundred miles of
Montreal daring the time, nor, as Conover’s
own letter shows, had be any acquaintance
with Thompson up to March 20, '6$, when
Conover wrote, proposing himself to destroy
the Croton waterworks, and was dsnounced
by Thompson as a fool. * * * * *
It was the last nsmed of these witnesses
(Conover), and the absurdest Bar of them all,
through whom Mr. Holt sought to' taint my
reputation os a minister by qsking if be bad
not seen me associating with the so-called
conspirators at Montreal, and got the lacile
perjurer to answer “yes,” though I never have
been in Montreal since in Jane, 1861, I at
tended a wedding there. * . * *
And yet this bare laced liar swore to seeing
me in Montreal from January to March,
1865, assenting to schemes of murder, though
a thousand people knew I coaid not have
been in Montreal since Jane, 1864. This lie
was the more disgraceful to Mr. Holt from
having been suggested by hifi question to a
peijurer, whom Mr. Holt must nave known
to have just perjured himself in swearing di
rectly the reverse ot what be Bad sworn only
three months before, in tbe trial of tbe St. Al
bans raiders—a peijurer who, within a week
or two, swore that he had never been to
Washington to swear at all—that some im

Statistics to Be Frond of.
Tbe New York News extracts from the last volume
of the census for 1360, just issued from the govern
ment printing press tablet, some facts illustrating the
comparative amount of pauperism and crime in the
Northern and Southern States, as well as of each of the
States composing the respective sections, for the year
ending June SO, 1860. Not having room for the tables,
we aggregate results a* follows : ,
The nineteen Northern States of California, Connect
icut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Varmont snd Wisconsin, contained a popula
tion of 18,917,753. Whole number of paupers sup
ported within the year—native, 140,238; foreign, 156,-
241. Whole number of criminals coiivicted within
the year,—native 29^W9; foreign, 62,269.
The .fifteen SDuthern States ot Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ma
ryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee. Texas and VinMjfr contained a
population of 12,240,593. Whole niftab* of paupers
supported Within the year—native, 48,518; foreign,
4,646..
Whole number of criminals convicted within the
year—native, 3,tiT*T; foreign, 3^477. |
year—native, 3,67i; foreign, 3,477. pnr
This-exhibit for the Soutb, wfthjdl tfbe barbarian
of slavery," is soifietHing to*be Viewed^?ith compla
cency, if not pride. Not disposed, however, to blow
our own trumpet, we let the News speak.for us. That
journal s.iys : \ ’
“From these tables it appears that the amount of
pauperism in the Northern States during the twelve
mouths which they include, was 1.57 per cent, of the’
population of those States—0.73 per cent of tbe
paupers being naiive.boru and 0.63 of foreign birth.
The amonqt of pauperism firths Southern States du
ring* the'same period is found to hake been O.IS per
cent, of tlie population of that section of the, coun
try, of which 0.15 per cent, was supplied by native
horn paupers, and 0.04 per cent, by those of .foreign
birth. „„
“The criminal statistics show-that, within the year,
the npmber of persons convicted in tbe Northern

foreigners. The couvictious in the Southern States.at
the same time* wero 0.06 per cent of thoir population,
a fraction moro than half being native born^aqd*
fraction less than hair being of foreign birth. ‘
“Thus the ratio of pauperism and crime in ah*
North were, 4n I860, each eight times greater than
they were in the South.
■■Oh, but it is the large number of foreigners we
have among ns that fill our work-houses snd our
prisonst” we faney wuhsar some radical remark.
“But let us take merely figures that refer to native
American born, and see how the. matter then stands.
Why we find that the ratio ,of nstivs xasuperism fit
even, then the North was five time* tofeti than what it
was in the"South, abirthat the ratio of crime among
the native born was in the North also five-fold what it
was in the South.
“These frets conclusively demonstrate the high tone
of morality that existed is the . Sooth, and the small
•meant of pauperism that was found there prior to the
war The Southern people can look upon the record
thev are to stand in tbe foremost rank of American
eltiseas, and to enjoy all the rigUa and privileges
which that position ought positively to guarantee.

peril oFTTia life (torn a crowd of desperadoes,
headed by one ot tbe most prominent law
yers io Montreal! Such was tbe creature
whom Mr. Holt used to taint tbe good name
of a gospel minister.
The other tool employed was a miserable
Jew-Christian-Atheist, whom Mr. Emmons
knew, as he admitted to myself and Gov.
Magoffin—before the creature was shipped to
the bureau of military justice—-to be a wretch
who kept his oath for sale, and boasted for
live dolars he would swear anything to suit:
who had sworn a Kentuckian out of Fort La
fayette as a British subject, aud who, of
course, for the $150 which Mr. Emmons
gave him as a retainer, would swear thirty
lies as great. This miserable creatuie, whom
a stranger had written me to assist in his
wretched poverty to the amount of $20, *
f took advantage of the premiums offered
for petjurers to turn a penny, and finding
that something towards defaming me would
be an acceptable article in the market, took
advantage of that accidental meeting .to
weave me in as one of the heroes of his filthy
and devilish yellow fever romance. * *
But when this poor creature was called back
to Toronto to testify in a case before a real
court of justice * * he handed to the
American Consul his solemn recantation of
the lie, to be given to me. * * And yet,
remember after all this, the wretch was
shipped off from Toronto, where he was about
iq be indicted for a dozen perjuries, to figure
a s a great witness before the bureau of mili-a i
ta ry justice. '

Health of Mr. Dsvii. .
In a local item in the Times of yesterday it was
stated that “a gentleman of this city, who spent last
Friday in oompany with ex-President Jefferson Davis
at Fortress Monro*, reports his health much improved.
A gentleman of this city, of distinction and scrupulous
veracity, haring seen tbe above paragraph, at once
wrote to the editor of this paper a letter, from which
we make the following extract:
“ As I was the only parson who was with President
Davis on Friday, I presume the wntpr. must have in
tended to refer to me. 1 '.therefore beg to ask yon to
contradict the eteieiaeat. So for from its being the
truth, I am lattsfled of tbe reverse. He is very foible;
has difficulty in walking upright; “his stomach has
1 ist its tone,” to use hia physician’s language, and
altogether he ie bnt a wreck of what be was when iff*
Richmond. And this condition is much aggravated
by his place of confinement He baa the freedom of
the fort during the day. and remains with his wife in
the casemate appropriated to tor. bat at sanest he Is
locked in his room of Carroll Hall, and guarded by
sentinels on eachaide of the room. A brilliant light
is kept shining Mthe grated door, and the reflection
on the white walls of bis room, milted with the noise
inseparable from the duties of tbe guards keep him
awake and restless. He gains no flesh, and the con
stant irritation to which his nervous system It sub
jected by being'watched and guarded serves to pre
vent him from improving. Mr. Davie requested me
to thank you especially for the article* in hie fovor
which have appeared m the Time*.’’
