A LfHTKU FROM JKr PERSON DiYIK— Calm ami Dispassionate: Reply to Blaine's Attack on the Pkotlb of unc South Ffi>ei:ai. and CONFEDERATE PRISONERS --T II K Fugitlesa Ait'ual to Chant. Washington, I). C., February 0. Jefferson Davis has written the fol lowing letter to Judge Lyons, Rich mond Virginia: New Orleans, January 27, 187 C Hon. James Lyon*: My Dear Friend —Your very kind letter of the 141 li instant was forwarded front Memphis, and has beeu received at this place.— I have been so long the object of ma lignant slander, and the subject of unscrupulous falsehood, by partisans of tire class of Mr. Blaine,.that though I cannot say it has become a matter ot indifference, it lias ceased to eXeit# tny surprise, even in this instance, when it reaches the extremity of ae acusing me of cruelty to prisoners.— What matters it to ono whose object is personal and party advantage that the records both Federal and Confed erate, disprove the charge ; that the country is full of witnesses who hear oral testimony against it, and that the effort to revive the bitter animos ities of war obstructs the progress to wards the reconciliation of the sec tions. it is enough for him if has sclfseeking purpose be promoted. It would, however, seem probable that such expectations must be appointed, for only those who are willfully blind can tail to see the (fallacy of Mr. Blaine’s statement. The published fact of an attempt to suborn NVirt*, when under sentence of- death by promising him a pardon if he would criminate me in regard to the Ander sormlle prisoners, is conclusive as to die wisii of the government to make such charge against ina, and tbo fail ure to do so shows that nothing could be found to sustain it. May we not say the evidence of my inno cence was such drat Holt and Cono ver with their trained baud of suborn ed witnesses d,ared not to pinko against me this charge at the time whieh Wim for his life would not make, but which Blaine for the Pres idential nominal ion, has made. Now let us review the leading facts of this case. The report of the Confederate Commissioner for the exchange of prisoners shows how persistent and liberal were our efforts to secure the relief of captives. Failing in these at tempts, I instructed Cen. It. E. Lee to go under a flag of truce and seek au interview with General Grant to represent to him the suffering and death of Federal prisoners held by us; to explain the causes which were beyond our control, and to urge in the name of humanity the observance of the cartel for the exchange of pris oners. To this as all previous appeals, a deaf ear was turned. I w ill not at tempt from memory lo write the re port made to me .of the incidents of this mission. Lee no longer lives to .defend the cause and oountry be lov ed so well and served so efficiently, but General Grant cannot fail to re member so extraordinary a visit, and his objections to executing the cartel .are well known to the public.; but whoever else may choose to forget my efforts in this regard the prison ers at Andersonville and the delegates I permitted them to send to Resident Lincoln for the resumption of ex change of prisoners cannot fail to re member how willing I was to restore them to their homes and to the com forts of which they were in need, pro vided the imprisoned soldiers of the Confederacy should be in like man ner released and returned to us. This foul aocus*tion, though direc ted specially against me, was no doubt intended and naturally must be an arraignment of the South by whose autliority and in whose behalf niy deeds were done. It may be pre sumed that the feelings and the hab its of the Southern soldiers were un derstood by me, and in that connec tion any fair mind would perceive in my congratulatory orders to the army after a victory in which tike troops wiere most commended lor their ten derness -and gencrousity to the wounded and other captives, as well as the instincts -of the person who .is sued the ikiiigirtly temper <A'tblte. soil ■daers to wlrcnn .it was addressed. It is admitted that the prisorters in our hands were not .as well pirovkled for as we would hav.@ liked but it is , ■claimed that sue did as well iwr them as we ttxuhL Can the ttihex ide any j las much? To the hold allegations of ill t realuient of prisoners bv our sine and itumini treatment and adequate J supplies by our opponen', it, is only ! necessary to offer two facts. First, it appears fiom the reports of the Unit ied States War Department that though we had <50,000 morn Federal prisoners than they hd of Confeder ates, 6,000 more of Confederates died in Northern prisons; second, tire want and suffering of men in North ern prisons caused me to ask for per mission to send out cotton and sup plies for them. T* request was gr&iited only on condition that the cotton should be sent to New York and the supplies be bought there. General Beale, now of St. Louis, was authorized to purchase and distribute the needful supplies. Our sympathy rose with the occasion and respond ed to its demands, not waiting for ten years then to vaunt itself when it could serve no good purpose to the sufferers. —Under tit® iHolleivirng in fluence of time and occasional de monstations at the North of a desire for the restoration of peace and good will, tire Southern people have for gotten much, have foagiveti much ol wrongs they bore. If it be less so among their invaders it is bat anoth er example of the rn'e that the wrong doer is less able lo forgive than he who has suffered causeless wrongs. It is not., however, among those who braved tiro hazards of battle that unrelenting vindictiveness is to be found—l.hc brave and generous and gentle. It is tiro skulker* of the fight -—the Blaines—who display their flag on an untented field. They made no sacrifice to prevent th£ seperation of the States. Wiry should they bo ex peeled to promote the confidence and good will essential to their anion? When closely confined at Fortress Monroe I was solicited to add iny name to those of many esteemed gen tlemon who bad signed a petition for my pardon, and an assurance was giv en that on my doing sir the Pr esident would order my liberation. Confident of the justice of our cause an 1 the rectitude of my own conduct 1 declined to sign the peti tion, and remained stihjuct to the in— cxemaide privations and torments Dr. Craven has but faintly described. When after two years of close con finement, 1 was admitted to hail, a often as required I appeared for trial under the iudiotmuut found against me, hut in which Mr. Blaine’s fid one do not appear. The indict ment was finally quashed, on no ap plication of mine.; nor have I ever evaded or avoided a trial upon any charge the general government might choose to bring against me, and have no view oi the future which makes it desirable to nae to he in cluded in an amnesty bill. Viewed in the abstract, or as a general ques tion, I would be glad to wee tbo re peal of all laws inflicting the penalty of political disabilities on all classes of the people, that it might he pre scribed by tho Constitution, bo left to the courts to hear and decide causes, and to affix penalties accor ding to pre-existing legislation. The discrimination made Against oar people is unjust and impolitic. If the fact be equality, and the purpose be fraternity among the clt i/ajns of tho United Stales, conviction and sentence without a hearing, with out jurisdiction, ami affixing penal ties by ex pout facto legislation, are part of the proceedings which had its appropriate end in tlwa assumption by Congress of the executive function of granting pardoDs. To remove po litical disabilities which tlnere was not legal power to .impose, was not an act of so much grace as to form a plausible pretext for the reckless di atribe of Mr, Blaine. The papers preserved by Dr. Stevenson happily furnished full proof of the cause of disease and death at Andersosiville. They are now, I believe, in Rich mond, and it is to be hoped tb+zir pub lication will not he much longer de layed. I have no taste for recrimin ation, though the sad recitals made by our soldiers returned from North ern prisons eati never ho forgotten, and you will re mem her the excite ment those produced and live censo rious publicatiikus which were uttered against me because I wftWild not vi-it on the helpless prisoner* an our hands such barbarities ns, according to reports, had been inflicted -upon our .men. Imprisonment is ,-a hare lot at the best, And prisoners are prone U> cxagnrai&e Jib tar andfantugs and such was propablv the ease on both' sides. But we did not seek, by reports of commit tec*, with photo graphic illustrations, to inflame the ilie passions of the people, How was it with the enemy ? Let one ex ample sfliuoe. You may remember a published report of a committee of tiro United .Stales Congress which was sent to Annapolis to visit some exchanged prisoners, and which hud appended W it the photograph* of hoiuo emaciated subjects, which were offered as sample* of prisoners I', turned from the South. When a eoppy of that report was rcoivod, I sent it to Col. Oulrl, Coinmiommer for the Exchange of prisoners, and learned, as I anticipated, that thn photographs, a* far as they could he identified, had becu taken front men whp wore in our hospital* when they were liberated for exchange, and whom the hospital surgeon regarded as convalescent but too we*k lo bo removed with safty to themselves. The anxiety of the prisoner* to he sent to their homes had prevailed over the objections of the surgeon. Butythis is not all, fori have re cently learned from a priest who was at Annapolis that the must wretched Looking of these photographs was ta ken from a tuan who had never been a prisoner, but who had been left on the “sick list’’ at Annapolis when the command to which he was at tached had passed Dial place on its southward march. Whatever may be said iit extenua tion of such imposture because of the exigencies of the war, there can bo no such excuse now for tire attempts of Mr. Blaine by gross misrepresenta tion and slanderous accusation to re vive the worst passion of the war, and it is to he hoped that much as the event is to he regretted it will have the good effect of evoking truth ful statements in regard to this Battle underfeit ood subject from men who would have preferred to leave their sorrowful story untold peacefully to sink into oblivion. Mutual respect is needful, for the common interest ines sential to a friendly union, and when slander is promulgated front high pkocs the public welfare demands that truth should strip falsehood of its sower for evil. ] am, respectfully and tardy, your friend, Jefferson Davis. How to Keep a Subscriber. An indignant farmer recently en tered the office of a New Jersey pa per and ordered his paper because he differed from the editor in his views regarding die advanta ges of subsoiling fence ralis. The editor, of course, .conceded the man's rights to stop his paper; but ho re marked, coolly, looking over his list: “Do you know Jim Sawders, down at Hardscrabble?’’ “ Very well,” said tho man. 11 Well, he stopped his paper last week because I thought a farmer was a blamed fool who didn’t know that timothy was a good thing to graft ou huckleberry bushes, and Iso died in four hours.*’ ■“Lord, is that so?’’ said the as tonished granger. “ Yes ; and you know old George Erickson, down on Eagle Creel; ?” “ Well, I’ve heard of him.” “Wail,” said tho editor, gravely, he stopped his paper because I ,aid ho was the happy father of twins mid congratulated him on his success so late in life. Ho fell dead within twenty minutes.
