A VINDICATORY LETTER FROM THE EX-CON
FEDEIIATR CHIEF —HIS SCATHING AN
SWER to blaine’s charges
ABOUT ANDERSONVILLE.
Jefferson Davis has written tlio fol
lowing letter to Judge Lyons, of
Richmond, Virginia :
New Orleans, Jan. 27.—1i0n. Jas.
Lyons—My Dear Friend :—Your very !
kind letter, of the 14th instant, was
forwarded from Memphis, and has j
been received at this place. I have
been so long the object of malignant
slander, and the subject of unscrupu
lous falsehood by partisans of the j
class of Mr. Blaine, that though I j
cannot say it lias become to me a
matter of indifference, it has ceased ,
to excite my surprise. Even in this
instance, when it roaches t lie extremi- j
ty of accusing me of cruelty to pris-!
oners, what matters it to one whose !
object is personal and party advan
tage that the records, both Federal
and Confederate, disprove the charge,
that the country is full of witnesses
who bear oral testimony against it,
and that the effort to revive bitter an
imosities of fno war obstructs the
progress toward the reconciliation of |
the sections ? It is enough for him
if his self-seeking purpose be promo-1
tod. It would, however, seem proba
ble that such expectations must be
disappointed, for only those who are I
wilfully blind can fail to sec in the
circumstances of the case the fallacy
of Mr. Biaiuo’s statements. The pub
lished fact of ah attempt to suborn
Wirtz while under the sentence of
.death, by promising pardon if lie'
would criminate me in regard to An
dcrsonville prisoners, is conclusive as'
to the wish of the Government to
make such a charge against mo, and
the failure to do so shows that noth
ing could bo found to sustain it. May
we not say the evidence of my inno
cence was such that Holt and Conover,
with their trained band of suborned
witnesses, dared not make against
me this charge, which Wirtz for his
life would not malm, but which
Blaine for the Presidential nomina
tion, lias made ?
Now, let U3 review the leading facts |
in the case. The report of the Con- j
federate Commissioner for the Ex
change of Prisoners shows how per-1
sistent and liberal wore our efforts to j
secure the relief of captives. Failing i
in these attempts, I instructed Gen.
It. E. Lee, to go, under a flag of truce, J
and seek an interview with Gen.
Grant, to represent to him the suffer- j
ing and death of Federal prisoner.-;
hold by us ; to explain the causes, I
which wore beyond our control, and
to urge in the name of humanity the i
observance of the cartel for Bio ex
change of prisoners. To this, as to
all previous appeals, a deaf ear was
turned. I will not attempt from
memory to write the report made to
me of the incidents of this mission.
Leo no longer lives to defend the
cause and country he loved so well
and served so efficiently, but Gen.
Grant cannot fail to remember so ex
traordinary a visit, and his objections
to executing the cartel are well
known to the public. But whoever
may choose to forget my efforts in
this regard, the prisoners at Ander
sonvillc and the delegates I permit
ted them send to President Lincoln
to plead for the resumption of the 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 bo in like man
ner released and returned to us.
This foul accusation, though di
rected especially against me, was, no
doubt, intended, and naturally must
be, the arraignment of the South, by
whose authority and in whoso behalf
my deeds ivere done. It may bo 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 \vould perceive in
my congratulatory orders to the ar
my after a victory in which the troops
were most commended for their ten
derness and generosity to wounded
and other captives, as well as the in
stincts of persons who issued the or
der, as the knightly tempers of the
soldiers to whom it was addressed.
It is admitted that the prisoners in
our hands were not as well provided
for as we would like to have hnd them,
but it is claimed that wo did as well
for them as we could. Can the other
side say as much ? To tlio bold alle
gation of tlm ill treatment of prison
ers by our side, and the humane treat
ment and adequate supplies by our
opponents, it is only necessary to of
fer two facts : First—lt appears
from reports of tlio United States
War Department that, though we had
GO,OOO more Federal prisoners than
they had Confederates, G,OOO more of
Confederates died in Northern pris-
I ons. Second- The want and snffer-
I ing of men in Northern prisons caused
me to ask fo) permission to scud out,
cotton and buy supplies for them.
The request was granted, but only on
condition that the cotton should bo
sent to New York, and tlio supplies
be bough t there. General Beale, now
of St. Louis, was authorized to pur
chase tlio needful supplies. Our sym -
pathv rose with the occasion, and re
sponded to its demands, not waiting
for ten years, then to vaunt itself
when it could serve no good purpose
to the sufferers.
Under the mellowing influences of
time, and occasional demonstrations
at the North of a desire for tluq,resto
ration of peace and good w u ,e, the
Southern people have forgotten much
and forgiven much of the wrongs they
boro. If it bo less so among tlicir in
vaders, it is but another example of
the rule, that the wrong doer is loss
able to forgive than he who has suf
fered causeless wrong. It is not,
however, generally among those who
braved the hazards of battle that un
relenting vindictiveness is to be found
—the brave and generous and gentle.
It is skulkers of the light—tlio Blaines
—who display their flag on an un
tentented field. They made no sac
rifice to prevent the separation of the
States ; why should they bo expected
to promote confidence and good will,
essential to their union ?
Yfheu closely confined at Fortress
Monroe, 1 was solicited to add my
name to those of many esteemed gen
tlemen, who had signed a petition for
my pardon, and the President would
order my liberation. Confident of the
justice of our cause and rcct.iltide of
my own conduct, I declined to sign
tho petition, and remained subject to
the inexcusable privations and tor
tures which Dr. Craven has but faint
ly and ci ibid. Wbfii, i iter two years
of close confinement, I was admitted
to bail, as often as required I ap
peared for trial under the indictment
found against me, but in which Mr.
Blaine’s fictions do not appear. The
indictment was finally quashed, on no
application of mine, nor have I ever
evaded or avoided a trial upon any
charge the General Government
might choose so bring against me,
and have no view of the future which
makes it desirable to me to be inclu
ded m an amnesty bill. Viewed in
the abstract, or as a general question,
I would bo glad to see (lie repeal of
all laws inflicting the penalty of politi
cal disabilities on all classes of people,
that it might, as prescribed by the
Constitution, be left to the courts to
decide the case, and affix penalties ac
cording to legislation. The discrim
ination mado against, our peoplo is
unjust and impolitic, if the fact be
equality and the purpose be fraterni
ty among citizens of the United
States. A conviction and sentence
without a hearing, without jurisdic
tion, and affixing the penalties by an
c.r pout facto legislation, and part of
the proceedings which had its ap
propriate counterpart in the assump
tion by Congress of the executive
function of granting pardons, to re
move political disabilities which there
was not legal power to impose, and
was not, an act of so much grace as to
form a plausible pretext for tho reck
less diatribe of Mr. Blaine.
The papers preserved by Dr. Ste- j
venson happily furnish full proof of
the onuses of diseases and death nt
Andersonville. They are now, I be- j
liove, in Richmond, and it is hoped j
their publication will not bo much
longer delayed. I have no taste for
recrimination, though the sad recitals
mado by our soldiers, returned from
Northern prisons, can never be for
gotten, and you will remember the
excitement those produced and tho
censorious publication which was ut
tered against me because I would not
visit on helpless prisoners in our
hands such barbarities as according
to the reports had been inflicted upon
our men. Imprisonment is a hard
lot at best, and prisoners are prone
to exaggerate their sufferings, and
such was probably tho car" on both
sides ; but we did not seek, uy reports
of committees, with photographic il
lustrations, to inflame tho passions of
our people.
How was it with our enemy ? Let
one example suffice. You may re
member a published report of the com
mittee of the United States Congress
which was sent to Annapolis to visit
somo exchanged prisoners from the
South. When a copy of that report
was received, I went to Col. Quid,
commissioner for the exchange of
prisoners, and learned, as I anticipa
ted, that tlio photographs had been
taken from men when they wore in
our hospitals, when they were libera
ted for exchange, and whom the Post,
Surgeon regarded as convalescent,
but too weak to bo removed with safe
ty to themselves. The anxiety of. the

prisoners to bo sent to their homes
had prevailed over objections of the
surgeon.
But tbir. ’’ not nil, for I have re
cently le°' in " from a priest, who was
then a'. h'Mfnnpolis, that tlio most
wretched looking of those pho
tographs was taken from a man who
had never been a prisoner, but who
had been loft on the sick-list at An
napolis when tlio command to which
lie was attached had passed that place
on its southward march.
Whatever may bo said in extenua
tion of such imposture because of cx
-1 igences of the war, there can bo no
■>. uch excuse now for tlio attempt of
I Mr. Blaine, by gross misrepreseuta
: turn and slanderous accusation, to rc

truthful statements in regard to this

An Unnatural Mother.
THE EXECUTION OF WOMEN IN FItVXOE —A
A wife’s last request.
Sophie Gauthier had been found
guilty of a horrible crime ; she had
killed all her children by means of
pins, which she stuck into their brain.
The death of this revolting criminal
recalls a few interesting facts con
nected with tho execution of women
in France. Since 18U) nine womc.
have been executed, and they ail i.-v
their death with great firmness. Ten
years ago a man and woman ivere ex
ecuted at Chartres for having mur
dered their parents. In those days
the guillotine was not the horribly
neat and compact little instrument
that it is now ; there were steps to
ascend before coming into con a t
with the executioner. When the
criminal couple roached the foot of
the scaffold the woman said, “I should
like to embrace my husband before
dying. Pray untie my hands ; yon
can tin them again immediately after
ward.” This supremo wish was re
luctantly granted, for it was contrary
to tlio regulations. Her hands were
no sooner free than ;;ko gathered up
all her strength, and gave her hus
band a ringing box on the ear. Ac
cording to custom she was tho first to
suffer tho extreme penalty of the law.
Before tho man had recovered from
the stunning blow she had dealt him,
her head had fallen into the sawdust.
Another woman, who had created
great sensation at the time, was Vir
ginie Dezon, who had murdered her
husband and two children. She was
only twenty-five years of ago, wonder
fully beautiful, and belonged to one
of the best families of Franco. She
had not the slightest fear of death,
and tho moment sentence was passed
she sent a letter to the Emperor, beg
ging there might be no delay iu car
vying it ont. Prison life and the loss
of her long black Lair produced a
much more disagreeable impression
upon this delicate woman than the
sight of the hideous chopping block
and knife. Many summary execu
tions of women took place when the
regular troops entered Paris during
the insurrection. I remember seeing
one of the advanced Republican la
dies placed against a wall behind the
Great Northern Railway station. She
had just been taken with a recently
fired rifle in her hand and standing
by the side cf a dying sentry. “Did
you shoot this man ?” inquired the
officer, pointing to the writhing body
of the sentry. “I did,” was the re
ply, “and I am only sorry that T did
not see you before, as you were bet
ter worth tho trouble." Two min
utes afterward she was lying on her
face with twelve bullets in her body.
Death had been instantaneous; her
victim, the soldier, lived two hours
after her, and expired in horrible
pain.
Girls Fishing.— A. tells us how la
dies fish. Ho said ho saw four of them
who had succeeded in landing a lit
tle flounder. No sooner had the
poor fish struck tho ground than all
exclaimed in one voice:
“Ouch 1 Murder! take it way. Ugh,
tho nasty thing!”
Then they hold up tlicir skirts and
gather around the fish, and all the
lime tho one who caught the fish is
holding the line in both hands, with
her foot on the pole, as though she
had an evil disposed goat at t lie
other end, which she expected
to butt her any moment. Then they
talk over it:
‘How will wo get it off?’
‘Ain’t it pretty ?’
‘Look how it pants.’
‘Wonder if it ain’t dry?’
‘Poor little thing, let’s put it back.’
‘How will wo get the hook from it ?’
‘Pick it up,’ says a girl, who backs
rapidly out of the circle.
‘Good gracious! I’m afraid of it—
there its opening its month at me.’
Just then the fish wiggles off the
hook and disappears into the water,
and tlio girls try for another bite.

Some Eases that Resemble the
Greenpoint Tragedy.
Proofs Against Murderers Furnished by
the Tory; Means that they Employed
for Concealment -Parallels for
Fluids Crime,
(From the Now York Sun.)
Tho discovery of tlio mutilated ro
! mains at Greenpoint calls to mind
I some notable cases that scorn to con
j firm the popular belief that whatever
disposition may bo made by a mur
derer of the corpse of this victim,
| sooner or later it will “cry out from
the ground” against him. In Eng-
I land what was known as “Tho Yi'a-
I turlco Bridge mystery,” about fifteen :
j years ago, created grout excitement j
there, remains of human body being j
found crammed into a carpet bag, as
1 did recently tho discovery of tin, mur
! dor of 1 larriet Lane by her paramour :
I Wainwright,.a&jtlie finding in a cab j
a package ea training part of her re- i
! mains In America, the kilting, of;
! poor Alice Bowlsby of Patterson 7,.,
! J., bv Bosonweig, discovered by the!
! finding of the body crushed into a i
drunk for transmission to Chicago, is;
still fresh in the of the
public. From a number of casos j
showing the difficulty of keeping j
murder out of sight, the following j
three cases, which have become his
torical, arc interesting examples:
The ease of Prof. Webster, who was
liangoit for the mu-iler ol Dr. Park
man, was one in which guilt was
brought home to tho perpetrator
through tlio identification of a body
after it had been seperated limb front
limb, submitted to chemical processes,
and to the inordinate beat of a fur
nace, and mingled with tho unnum
bered bones, of anatomical sr’ Gets.
It was shown that Prof. We wa. • had
urgent pecuniary motives f 'y: 'jjling
y-r.iiirkunm out of the i- r . The
v dinner lived at the Medical College,
boston. He made an appointment to
meet Dr. Furman at 2 o’clock on Fri
day, Nov. 23, 1849, to discuss money
matters. Dr. Parkman was seen en
tering the collego at a quarter to 2
o’clock, and was never again seen 1
alive. The prisoner said that the
doctor did not keep his appointment,
and was not iu the college at all that
day.
For a whole week no traces of the
missing man were four. 1 . On the
Friday week and the day following
were found in a furnace connected
with Web,iters labratory iu tho cok
lc:,v, fused together indiscriminately
with the slag, tlio cinder-;, and tlio in
fuse of the fuel, a large number of
bones and certain blocks of mineral
tooth. Some gold that had been
melted was also found. Other bones
were discovered in a vault under the
college, and iu a tea chest, embedded
in a quantity of tan, the entire trunk
of a human body and more bones were
found. The parts thus collected from
different places made the entire body
of a person of Dr. I’arktnaii’s ago,
about sixty years, and the form of the j
body, when reconstructed, had just;
the peculiarities of Dr. Parkman.
It was further shown that tho re
mains had been separated by a per
son possessed of anatomical skill,
though not for anatomical purposes.
Finally three witnesses, dentists, tes
tified that the mineral teeth were
those made for Dr. Parraan uirt-c ■
years before. A Mould of the doc- ;
tor’s jaw was made at the time, and it
v.as produced, and shown to be so
peculiar that no uociJontal continui
ty of the teeth to the jaw could pos
sibly account for tho adaption. This;
clinched the evidence against the j
prisoner.
The murder of Samuel Adams, a !
printer in Now York, by John 0. Colt, 1
a teacher of book-keeping, and broth
er of the late Col. Samuel Colt, of re
volver fame, is another example. As
in tho case of Prof. Webster, the mo
tive was to get rid of an importunate
creditor. The scene of tho murdor
was the building on Broadway and
Chambers street, now occupied by
Delmooico, the restaarateu.
John C. Colt occupied a room in
this building tor his business. One
September morning in 1841, Adams,
who was printing for him a work on
bookkeeping, called for SSO or SGO
duo him, and was not soon again alive.
Inquiries were made by his family,
and it was ascertained that ho was
last seen going into Colt’s appart
raent, in Chambers street. On the
day of Adam's disappearance, suspi
cious noisos were hoard iu Colt’s
room. Tho body finally came boxed,
directed to a gentleman in St. Louis,
by way of New Orleans, and was trac
ed back to New York to Colt, and lie
was arrested.
Colt’s story was that Adams and he j
had a dispute as to the correctness of
bill presented, and that tho latter call
ed him a liar, which ho resented Lq
slapping him in tho face. A scuffle
ensued; Adams seized him by the
throat and Colt, in self-defense,
caught up a hatchet lying near by
and struck him on tho forehead, kill
ing him. He went out of liis room
and locked the door, hurrying to the
City Hotel, where his brother, Samuel
Colt, was staying, intending to tell
him his h< cret and take his advice.
Samuel Colt, who was in the barroom
with some friends, told his brother to
go up to his room and that ho would
join him in a few minutes.- The pris
oner waited, and his brother not com
ing, ho went back to the room in
Chambers street TLe body lay there
, covered with blood. Tie took a large
I box, crammed the body into it, wrap-
I pod in a piece of canvass, tying up
j the logs close to tho trunk, and then
seatt.Tod .alt and sawdust overall.
He washed off the marks of blood on
the wall and floor, and smeared them
with ink to hide their traces. He
stayed in tho room until late at night,
and thou returuod to his lodgings in
Monroo street. Next morning lie
j nailed up the box, sent for a cartman,
and had it put on board the steamer
Kalamazoo, lying at tho foot of Mai
den lane.
Colt was convicted of wilful mnr
; dcr, and was sentenced to bo banged,
iOn the day fixed for the hanging lie
; stabbed himself in the heart,
j A remarkable murder trial in Bos
[ ton, m many respects like that of Pro
; feasor Webster, but resulting in tho
. acquittal of tlm prisoner, was that of
l Leavitt Alley, who was accused of
! killing Abii.ill Ellis. Home workmen
near tlio Bumbiidgo gas works dis
covered two barrels containing the
mutilated body floating in tho Charles
river. They were packed with horse
manure and shavings, and in ouo of
tlm barrels a pi.ee of brown paper
>v„; and with name of 111. Schooler,
n biifiav i'i <IG .i. it was shown
that Leavitt Alleycluster, was in
the habit of removing these shavings
to his stable. Following tlio clue to
tho stable, it was found that a dry
manure heap had been disturbed and
blood was found on some boards near
by.
It was proved that on tlio previous
morning Alley started from bis stable
with four barrels, and a teamster, in
jumping from a wagon, had ascertain
ed that two of them wore heavy. Two
of the barrels wore not satifactorily
accounted for, and a man testified
that he saw tho team and barrels with
a man strongly resembling Alley on
the mill dam, whence they were sup
posed to have been thrown into tho
river. Alley owed Ellis about S2OO,
needed money, and Ellis was known to
have been looking for the suspected
man on tho night of tho murder. A
now axe that Alley had bought was
missing. Stains were found on his
clothing, which experts declared to
be the blood of the murdered man. A
.woman had heard strange noises on
tho night of the murder, liko the roll
ing of barrels. Alley, it was shown,
had plenty of money after Ellis’s
death. An examination of the stomach
of the murdered man showed that he
must have died between six and nine
o’clock on the fatal evening. Scem
ingiy, here was a perfect chain of cir
cumstantial evideuco. But the de
fence met the theory that Alley had
committed tho murder in a quarrel by
Glowing hi.-,; caoeublo disposition and
his high repntaiidn for honesty, and
controverted tho assertion of the pros
ecution that Alley was in debt to El
lis, and without money to meet an en
gagement that fell duo at the time of
tho murder, by showing that tho pris
oner owned real estate in New Hamp
shire and had money in a bank. Al
ley’s abundance of ready money after
tlio murder was explained by his son
having repaid him $125 tlio evening
before. Ho gave a satisfactory ac-1
count of how ho had spent bis time
on tho day of the murder. Experts
called by the defence swore that the
blood on tho prisoner’s clothes, being
dry, could not be distinguished from
the blood of a beast. This conflicting
scientific testimony confused the jury j
to the advantage of the prisoner, and !
lio was acquitted, it no was not the
murderer, tho murderer was never
found.
Marriage Forbidden Inthe City of
Ciiuvelics.
The Apostle St. Paul tells us that
“ marriage is honorable in all,” yet
the Brooklyn Commissioners of
Eudcation says that it is to bo repro
bated in female. teachers, and refuge
to repeal tho clause providing that
“Should a female teacher enter into
matrimonial relation, her place shall
become vacant.” Tho phrase “ matri
monial relations” is rather a dubious
substitute for tlio word marriage, and
loaves the mandate of the Board open
to an interpretation by no means
complimentary fo the Commissioners
or tho teacher.
We are m the habit of boasting
that the liberty of tho individual is
held sacred in this free land, and yet
an ignorant and unchristian com
mission does not hesitate to make it a
crime for a most deserving class of
young ladies to enter into that most
solemn contract which Christ raised
to the dignity of a sacrament. In
England and Ireland teachers are
not merely permitted, hut even en
couraged, to marry. Yv by they should
bo forbidden in Brooklyn is
altogether unaccountable to us. Sun

A Queer Cat Story.—Middi.etown,
N. Y. Feb. 8. — \ four-year-old child,
in a family named Fleming, iu this
place, was recently taken ill. A doc

must die. An old woman named
Morgan, who has the reputation of
being a fortune teller and clairvoyant,
said she could cure tho child. She
procured a black cat, tho nose of
which she held in the child's mouth
for Mime time, chanting words in an
unknown language. Thin lasted for a
few seconds, when she put tho cat in
a bag. and buried it alive. The child
