He is a very good man; there is nothing against him, I believe; and you will thus avoid giving offence to thirteen of the applicants.’ Buchanan started at the propo sition, but acknowledged that the idea had not struck him before. “But,” added Mr. Davis, "the cream of the joke was that the incumbent had been appointed by the Ad ministration of which I was a member—the Cabinet of Mr. Pierce.” This conversation about removals sug gested the question of Stanton’s position.— “Why is ho not removed?” said Mr. Davis.

As an evidence of Mr. Clay's powers aa an extemporaneous orator, and particularly, as an instance of Mr. Buchanan’s talent for repartee, Mr. Davis related the following anecdote with inimitable grace: In the course of a speech before the Senate Mr. Bnchanan remarked that he had, at any rate, forced the Senator from Kentucky to reply to him. Henry Clay arose, very much excited, and replied with some vehemence to the Senator from Pennsylvania, “ He forced me to speak, indeed. I spoke because I do- sired to do so. No man can force me to speak when I do not wish.” When Clay had fin ished Buchanan rose, and in a calm, collect ed manner, commenced his reply: ' “The honorable gentlaman has said that I did not lorce him to speak. I will prove to the Senate that 1 did force him to reply to my remarks. The honorable gentleman bad announced bis intention not to speak further on this subject. No other Senator occupied the floor between the time when 1 addressed this honorable body aDd when the Senator from Kentucky arose to his feet. Nothing had occurred to induce the Senator to change his resolution but the speech which I delivered. Beside, all those present have doubtless noticed the superior eloquence which l’ dresses pratioo. Every one will bear witness that on this occasion the Senator from Ken tucky has displayed more tbau his ordinary power, aud has even surpassed himself. The Senator’s speech being extemporaneous, aDd Dolbiug else having occurred to iuduce him to change his resolution. I think that 1 have shown to the satisfaction of the Senate that I forced the Senator to reply to my remarks.” Buchanan’s rejoinder was so graceful that Clay is said to have aiisen from his seat, crossed the aisle and taken his opponent by the hand. . be cannot sleep until.it is any conscience, he.could noAave the execution of Henry Wit*. THOM ASH. Kmr OB lu . There is certain to be several applications for autographs in every mail thaicome* to Mr. Davis. They are all North ern people, and generally iorfbOe~h stamped envelope, with the address of tne writer. Sometimes a writer is cool enofgh£o affMor the autograph without mentioning the post age. Mr. Davis very seldom ntftices any of these applications, unless they an from par ties with whom he is acquainted. :,He summed up thejjhilosophy of autographs by mentioning two classes who an ajpne excu sable for making these demands. sons who believe that they esjxiu communion with a fellow-being by meai his autograph, and those who think they can read character by seeing one’s handwriting. Mr. Davis said that sometimes in the Senato, when he had nothing to engage his attention, he would answer some of these coeamahifa- tions that he received in gffeat ngtabdrWat’ that time. One day he was cle«p4Nlis desk of such incumbrances, when Mr, Benton, who had a seat very near him, noticed' his occupation.. “Davis,” said old Tom, “do the Senator displays when he ad- you answer those people?” ‘'Sometimes, > this body withoat any previous pro- replied Mr. Davis, ‘‘when I have nothing = diplomacy with England.

But the 1 seeds of a serious evil are still existing, where the-central authority exercises power belonging to localities in favor -of one class of the population and against another.— Those negroes who accepted the offer of the Government to settle on public lands were the best of their race, thus unfortunately taken away from any reproductive system of labor. Those colored people who remained in the large cities were generally worthless and dis solute. With almost prophetic tones, Mr. Davis said : “The solution will hardly be iu your time.”. Ttieu he repealed several times, with deep feeling: “What is to be the future of the South ? If laborers of a Cau casian or Asiatic race are introduced, it is 1 very far from certain that they are physically able to endure the extremes of a Southern climate." He had found by intercourse with the En glish travelers, that the social sympathy be tween England and the people of the South ern States was still very cordial. He be lieved that this resulted from the similarity of institutions and the existence ol the same social standards of prominency in both countries. This fact was a strong indication of the superior devotion to our ancestral cus toms and spirits in the South aud of their neglect in the North. This a3.siuulatioD, so long retained and stronger in the present in stance than in any other known to history, was doubtless the cause of much of the En glish sympathy evinced during the war.

Hunter banva himself in his room for days | preceding.the delivery of his great speeohe^ SloD^e, ot the eontrary, went out mto tite IDEAS ON TOPICS OF THE DAT. Mr. Davis seemed to think that the Gov ernment wouldeucouuter some difficulties in settling the currency question, but he bad great confidence in McCulloch’s financial ability. In reply to the opinion that the Ad ministration might have gained considerable capital from a vigorous execution ot the Monroe Doctrine, in Mexico, he said that it slruck him that Mr. Johnson had other ot) jects in view than gaining political capital— that t he public good might influence him to some extent- We smiled, and remarked that such ideas were rather novel to a person coming from Washington City. “Yes,” Mr. Davis remarked, “I suppose that my opin ions are those of a prisoner, sbnt out from contact with the every-day world.” He inquired particularly about Mr. Ben jamin, and appeared to entertain great res pect for his abilities. . He was interested in his success as a lawyer, and thought that his short but promising career as an English barrister was unprecedented. THOUGHTS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL TOUR- He spoke feelingly of the insults offered to President Johnson duriDg his tour to the West- He recurred often to this subject and always in tbe most interested manner- The outrages were not only shameful to a Presi dent, but to Johnson’s* character as a gentle man. - He thought that such conduct evinced great political degradation, aud a deteriora tion ot public morality. Iu referring to tbe historical character of the journey he spoke of similar events that had preceded the pres ent one- Monroe’s tour was the only one tliat could compare with it in extent; Jack- son's was more of a local affair. Monroe traveled'very quietly, with his staff, paying his bills wherever he went. The lbllowiug iucideut occurred duriDg this progress: When the party were about to leave some little country town early one morning, an Adjutant on President Monroe’s staff was waiting impatiently tor the hotel-keeper to make up his account. Mine host seemed very much troubled about the kill, and could not determine toelose his column of charges. Boniface was auxious to insert as maDy items ns possible, but not being an adept iu charging a Presidential party, he cudgeled his brains in vain to select some appropriate beads under which to enter an extortionate demand- The Adjutant was getting impa tient at the man’s hesitation,'and the inn keeper was as far as ever from summing up his account. Firally, be seized the pen, scratched off something aud handed the bill to the officer. The items were scanued and found correct but exorbitant, until the last one was reached, when, “by the shade of Mrs. Quickly,” the fellow kadexpeuded him self in one lrantic effort, aud charged $10 for "kicking up the devil generally.” It is rela ted, however, that there was so much justice in the demand that it was paid without a . murmur. During his imprisonment, Mr. Davis lias relieved many weary hours by a return to his fondness for literary pleasures. In tbe early days of his confinement lie was deprived of books, the Bible excepted, and newspapers; but when this rule was re laxed he immediately diverted himself by a perusal of several historical and philosophical works. Since his removal to Carroll Hall he has indulged in a course ot diversified read ing. There is a nice garrison library at the fort, but Mr. Davis has purchased alittle col lection of tavorite authors, and about two hundred volumes bear evidences of his meu- lal energy and taste for literature. Ills FAMILT. Referring to tbe education of his children, Mr. Davis spoke very highly of the thorough system of iDStructiou pursued in the Cana dian schools. Their devotion io the niaike-. matical branches produced some infantile prodigies. Even the little girl3, it seems, absorb algebra and geometry. He mentioned, in this connection, an instance ot aptness for mathematical studies- in a female, which ri valled the proficiency of Mine. Duchatelet, the friend of Voltaire. The child was tbe daughter of a laundress iu Mr. Davis' family, before the war, and at 11 or 12 years of age ibis little female Newton was solving alge braic problems. The girl’s proficiency in the higher mathematics at a very early age was ihe subject of general remark. Any topic Klating to. one of his connections or house hold always excites the liveliest aud warm est recollections in the mind ol Mr. Davis. UNDIGNIFIED CONDUCT OF CONGRESSMEN. The rudeness displayed by members in not listening to the remarks of their colleagues, and depriving the Congressional halls of any deliberative character, was severely com mented upon. This led to an inquiry from Mr. Davis ais-lo' the prevalence of a custom, of which he had heard, of both Representatives and Senators putting their relatives in sub ordinate positions about the capitol. He was astonished to hear of the degree to which tbe custom had descended. In his time, no Senator would have thought of such a thing, but he was sorry to say that in the latter years of his -Congressional career, two or three members of the Lower House had re nounced their sense of propriety by adopting such a course- No relatives of Congressmen were formerly employed even as clerks of committees, and the idea of making door keepers and sergeants of them would have been scouted. THE TRIAL OF WIBS. Mr. Davis seemed to feel deeply tbe injus tice of Capt. Wire’s trial. The refusal to re ceive Duncan’s evidence was an indication of the desire to make (be ->whole affair a mock ery. As a still stronger evidence, however, a Catholic priest who lately visited Mr. Davis gave him the following account: He bad been with the Andersonville prisoners, in bis ecclesiastical capacity, during the entire period of their incarceration, having been captured by the Confederates. During the trial of Capt. Wire he went to Washington voluntarily and offered his testimony. Mr. Bingham, the officiating Judge Advocate, ex amined him during tbe night, and at the next day’s trial refused to receive his evidence. The priest took a long journey, in the holy cause of humanity: but because he was ready to testify that Wire was a kind-hearted mao, though sometimes captions and not cruel, he was disregarded by the same Judge SENATE. .

The functions of State government, so magnani mously bestowed by that far-seeing statesman, yeur noble and generous President, may be taken from ns; we may be made as helpless as infancy itself, yet, trusting to that same Eternal Spirit that protected the babe born in the manger, we, too, may w safely con ducted from the rod of Herod. The voice of truth and reason cannot always be kept silent. If ws have not greatly misapprehended tbe character and nature of the Government of the Untied States, no State or individuals can be made to depend upon tho capri cious and arbitrary will of legislators. Vile arts may be need to defame and blacken the pnreat and best bai actors, sophistry may evade, falsehood aaaert, and impudence deny, thereby semiring a temporary tri umph to wickedness and error, yet the great chart of liberty—the Constitution ef the United .States—around which so many gracious and benevolent hearts cluster.
