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 QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUABY 17, 187(5. 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 i vivo the worst passions of the war, ! and it is to be hoped that, much as the event is to bo regretted, it .-. ill have the good effect of evoking truthful statements in regard to this little understood subject from men who would have preferred to leave their sorrowful story untold, if the | subjcctTfflSiild have been allowed; liriict.'ully to sink into oblivion. | Mutual respect is. needful for the j common interest, is essential to a! friendly feeling, and whoa slander comos from high places the public j welfare demands that the truth should strip falsehood of its power for evltPt I am, respectfully and truly,>*nr! friend, Jefferson Davis. . * [Pans Correspondent, ol H>q London Felo graph.] 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. ainuint that worn. on. 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 day Democrat. 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 tor was called, who said the child 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 has recovered. Mr. 0. ('.Galloway, ofl’akcr coun ty, is dead Miscellaneous Advertisements. W. E.
