Case of Jefferson I>aris in Congre
—The Report on the Subject.
The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom
was referred the resolutions of the Hou-e ..
Representatives of April 9th and April 30th,
18G6, instructing the committee to inquire
into the nature of the evidence implicating
Jefferson Davis and others in the assassination
of President Lincoln, and also whether any
legislation is necessary in order to bring such
persons to a speedy aid impartial trial, if it
should appear that there was probable cause
to believe that said persons, or anv of them
arc guilty of inciting, concerting or procuring
the assassination oi the late President of the
United States, and also whether any legisla
tion is necessary in order to bring said per
sons to a speedy and impartial trial for the
crime of treason, submitted a report to the
House Friday. The report is very long and
contains a number of letters and documents
belonging to the official records of the late
Confederacy, now in possession of the War
Department, relating to what was termed the
secret service” of the Confederacy. TVe
take from the Baltimore Sun the following
summary of the report:
With regard to the trial of Mr. Davis, the
Committee are of the opinion that there are
no obstacles to a speedy and impartial trial
which can be removed by legislation. The
evidence in possession of the Committee con
necting Jeff. Davis with the assassination of
President Lincoln, justifies the Committe in
saying that there is probable cause to believe
that he was privy to the measures which led
to the commission of the deed, but the inves
tigations which have been made by the War
Department and by the Committee have not
resulted in placing the Government in pos
session of all the facts in the case. The Com
mittee are of the opinion that a further in
vestigation will result in a full development
of the whole transaction. The examination
of the captured rebel archives, though not
complete, has gone far enough to throw light
upon the general policy of the rebel authori
ties, which in many particulars involved a to
tal disregard oi international law and the
!8 of civilized warfare,
e committee in this connection give a
detailed history of the course pursued by the
Confederate Government toward slaves found
in the ranks of the Union army. Most of this
is taken from the published orders of the
Rebel War Department.
In summing up this port of the report, the
committee says:
“The declarations made, and the acts done
in purenancc of the declarations, are conclu
sive proofs of the brutal and malignant feel
ings by which the • leaders of the rebellion
were controlled, and rendered it not only pos
sible, but probable, that they would at once
“igage in projects for the destruction ot the
ucf men of the Republic.”
A considerable portion of tbe report of the
committee is devoted to the evidence in the-
case of C. C. Clay, Jr. Clay's letter to Presi
dent Johnson, dated November 23d, I860, is
quoted, wherein he denies having been in
Canada at the time of the assassination.—
This the committee say is shown to be a false
hood, according to the evidence before them.
They say the falsity of the statement goes far
to show that he has some reason for attemp
ting to conceal the fact as to the time when
he left Canada, and inasmuch as the state
ment was made in order to relieve himself
from the charge contained in the President’s
proclamation, it has a strong tendency to con
nect him of complicity in the deed. A num
ber of letters are produced to show that Clay
was in Canada at the time, and also that he
was the originator of the various raids on the
northern border of the United States. The
first allusion in point of time made to the
presence of Clay in the South among all the
papers in possession of the government yet
examined is a letter dated at Richmond,
March 8, 1865, and written by 31. L. Clay to
C. C. Clay, Jr. The statement of Clay that he
has never known any of tbe persons
accused and convicted of participating
in the assassination of President Lincoln is
shown to be false by tlie evidence before
the committee. Clay, while in Canada,
acted under tbe following commission:

The Committee say it is well established by
letters and documents derived from rebel
sources that Clay, under this commission was
instrumental in organizing and executing,
with more or less success, tbe raids upon the
cities and towns nlong the border, the plans
for the introduction of pestilence, the organi
zation of conspiracies to liberate the prison
ers confined in Camp Douglas, Chicago, to
destroy our commerce on the rivers, lakes and
ocean, and finally so thwart nnd overthrow
the Government inciting a new rebellion
in the North. It is also ascertained that Ja
cob Thompson, Beverly Tucker, George N.
Sanders, W. C. Cleary, Bennett II. Young and
R. J. Stewart, were nil employed in Canada
os secret agents for all the Confederate au
thorities.
In proof of this, tlie committee produce a
large number of letters, orders and despatch
es which passed between these men and the
officers of the Confederate Government at
Richmond, showing that they were acting di
rectly under its authority, nnd that they re
ceived orders to make the raids and other
offensive', demonstrations on the Northern
border of the United States.
Testimony token at tlie trial of the assas
sins, together with that taken by the com
mittee, justifies them in the inference that
the murder of President Lincoln was procured
by the use of money furnished by the Rich
mond Government. Tlic remarks said to
have been made by Davis on the receipt of
the intelligence of the death of President Lin
coln, is in harmony with the conversation of
his agents, Thompson, Tucker, and others,
as given by Richard Montgomery, a witness
who was before the Committee, and also a
witness in the trial of the conspirators.
Thompson told 3Iontgomery, in 1864, that
he could have the tyrant Lincoln put out of the
way at any time. He said he had his tnends
all over the Northern States, and it required
but his nod to have them do anything he
wanted done. Clay is said to have talked in
similar vein about the assassination. The
Committee say there is substantial harmony
between the evidence tarnished by the official
documents found in tbe bands of tbe rebel
authorities and tbe testimony of the various
witnesses brought before the Committee, as
to the participation of Davis, Thompson, Clay,
Cleary and others in tlie scheme for the as
sassination of the President.
With reference to tlic testimony in posses
sion ot the Bureau of military justice, taken
by Judge Holt, and on which President John
son based liis proclamation, the committee
makes the following statement:
“When the committee entered upon this
investigation, in April last, the evidence in
the War Department, if accepted as true, Was
conclusive as to tbe guilt of Jefferson Davis.
The Judge Advocate General had taken the
affidavits of several persons who professed to
have been in the service of the Rebel Govern
ment, and who had been present at an inter
view between Surratt and Davis and Benja
min.
“Those affidavits were taken by the Judge
Advocate Gemral in good faith, and in the
fall belief that the persons making them were
stating that only which was true. The state-
ments made bv these witnesses harmonize in
every important particular with facts derived
from documents and other trustworthy
sources. The committee, however, thought
it wise to sec and examine some ot the per
sons whose affidavits had been taken by
Judge Holt. Several of the witnesses, when
brought before the committee, retracted en-
ln compliance wicli a notice given in the
several churches of the city, the following
persons met at the office of the Southern
Christian Advocate, 3Iacon, Ga., July 30th,
1866: Rev. E. II. 3Iyers, D. D., Rev. David
Wills, Rev. Homer Hendec, Rev. T. B. Rus
sell, and Jlcssrs. Peter Solomon, J. W. Arm
strong, Jas. I. Snider, Henry L. Jewett, W. D.
Williams, and O. A. Caldwell.
On motion, Rev. Dr. Myers was called to
the chair, and Rev. II. Ilendce was chosen
Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explained
in a letter submitted by Rev. David Wills.—
In this letter the Agent of the American Bi-
ble Society for Georgia (Rev. G. J. Pearce)

The paper was however, doubtless, issued
by the. Governor, and is in that repect a gen
uine production; but it is one he has not the
shadow of authority for issuing, and is of no
more legal force than it would be if it had
been issued by any other person, in or out of
the State. ’
It has been demonstrated 07er and over
again, that the Convention of 1864 has no
legal existence in 1866. It expired by the
conclusion of its labors, and the adoption of
tbe constitution it made. It attempted to
prolong its own existence by providing that
t might be reconvoked by the presiding of
ficer.
This authority to convoke the defunct body
was in itselt a usurpation; bnt it was a' con
ditional authority vested in a particular per
son to be exercised in a single event; and
there was no provision made for the interven
tion of the Governor at all. That person was
the President of the Convention, and that
event the failure of the people to ratify the
Constitution. The President of the Conven
tion was directed to Call it together if the
Constitution were rejected. It was only in
that event that the provision to fill vacancies
should come into force in that way. “Then

The proclamation docs not call elections to
fill vacancies in the Convention as it existed
when it adjourned in 1864; but to bring in
hew members to the number of 51, from par
ishes which were not represented in that Con

vacancies which have occurred among the
members actually chosen and taking part in
its proceedings.
The real fact we suppose to be, that a raa-

designed to bring iu by the hew elections, in
which it is thought that no citizen of the

irregular, and depend on the Executive and a
partisan judiciary which is iu confederacy
with him, to overthrow a unanimous Legisla
ture, all the State officers elected by the peo
ple, and impose a new government on a dis
franchised peopta.
How this revolutionary scheme is to be
met and baffled peaceably and within the
terms of the law, is a subject for the most
serious consideration for the people of the
State. That there are means, wc cannot
doubt; nor can wc doubt that these will be
taken with a deliberation befitting the gravi-
ty.of the occasion, and carried through with
the firmneis which such high duties, in such
emergencies require ot patriotic citizens.
horizon from northeast to west during the
afternoon, rapidly concentrated north of this
point, and at the above-named hour the storm
bnrst upon us with irresistible fury, uprooting
trees, prostrating houses and doing much
other damage.
The magnificent new bridge of the Phila
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company, spanning the river at this point,
some twenty-five feet above tide-water, en
countered the violence of the storm. It treni
bled for a moment, and then was hurled down
from its piers into the river with a terific crash.
Ten spans of the bridge, each 250 feet long,
the labor of months were rendered a com
plete wreck, the river and bay being strewed
with its debris for miles. Only one span on
the Cecil side remains.
The loss cannot fall short of $200,0C0, and
is perhaps much greater. Several workmen
were carried into the river with the falling
spans, but were rescued. Without this dis
aster the company confidently expected to
have the bridge ready in ninety days.
To-day several tugs are traversing the river
and bay, saving the wrecked material, and
the disaster, although serious, will be prompt

Wigwam for the Philadelphia Conven
tion.—A great “wigwam” for the accommo
dation of the National Union Convention is
to be erected in Philadelphia. The News,
referring to it, says ; ,
The plans arc now in the hands of tlie
architect They will be rapidly carried into
execution, and the building probably comple
ted by the 10th of August. Tlic wigwam
will be the most extensive pyramid of canvas
ever erected in the United States. It will
exceed in size the ever memorable wigwam in
which the Chicago Convention of 18G0 assem
bled. It will seat ten thousand persons. A
special gallery for ladies will be a prominent
feature of tbe building. It will be erected
on the Central Skating Park of Dr. Jansen,
at Fifteenth nnd Wallace streets, and will
occupy nearly all of that quadrilateral. The
Convention that is to assemble within three
weeks will be the largest and most important
body of statesmen ever convened in America.
The wisdom and forethought of the National
Union Johnson Club of this city In erecting
it is commendable. Without it, no place ol
meeting lor tlie Convention could have been
afforded in the city.

Patterson; but we have an indistinct recol
lection that several years ago, the present
Government of Tennessee arraigned him as
the basest of men. For weeks, there was lit
tle else in Brownlow’s Whig, but Patterson,
and the matter, to say the least, was anything
but complimentary. ’ If we recollect aright,
one M. L. Patterson, a brother of the recently
appointed Judge, was specifically accused by
Brownlow, in his paper of horse-stealing. The
present Judge instituted suit against Brow
low in belialt of liis brother, for slander, lay
ing his damages at sonic large sum, perhaps
$20,000. Thereupon the Whig opened upon
both the brothers and denounced N. A. Pat
terson with equal severity with his brother.
Brownlow then thought that the Patterson
lately appointed Judge, was no better than
horse-thief. How the case was finally decid
ed we do not' remember. It may be that all
Brownlow said ot him and liis brother was
false. Wc cannot say as to this. But if
Brownlow told the truth in his abuse of him
he is not fit for a Judge, and if he was slan
dered, then Brownlow is the proper subject
of an action for damages.
Commercial Independence.- The Mem
phis Avalanche concludes a leader upon
Southern interests as follows:
There is but one remedy for tbe South, so
far as we can sec. It is for us to begin to
turn our attention to the manufacture of all
tfce fabrics we need. This will be a slow ad
vince toward independence, but it will be
sare. During the war thousands of spindles
and looms were started in the South. 31a-
chincry for the manufacture of cotton goods
was slowly but surely getting a foothold
among us, and our people took pride in be
ing seen in “homespun dresses.” If we can
but begin this improvement in earnest, we
can in a few years snap our fingers at all the
impositions of New England. Nations do
not count their existence by years, but by
decades and centuries; and if we but begin
this work now, the next generation will find
us able to manufacture not only all the cotton
wc need, but all we can desire. TTiis process
will cramp us. It will compel us to live with
rigid economy. It will compel us to discard
all the present ruinous inunia of luxuries.—
Wc must raise all the food we need as well as
manufacture all the cotton goods we wear.—
We must depend more upon ourselves and on
our land for wliat we eat and wear than we
have ever done before. In doing this wc
shall perhaps prolong our years of poverty
and toil, but we shall hare won our true and
lasting independence.

The Iron Band and ‘ Arrow Tie” for
Baling Cotton—An Insurance
Against Fire, Wastage and
Stealage.
T HESE BANDS and TIES arc a complete substi
tute for Rope in Baling Cottou, combining
tlie utmost simplicity, with tbe greatest possible
They are Cheaper Than Jfepr—arc fastened quick
er, and bold tlie Bale less in size. Every
Band is long enough tor the largest Bale, and can
be instantaneously adapted to tbe size of any Buie,
while in the Press, as quickly, and with the same
ease as Ropes.
They arc manufactured, in Liverpool, of the l-est
English Iron, cut to uniform lengths of 10 feet,
ana put up in bundles of 85 Bands and Tics each-
complete and inseparable, nntil opened out for
use. They are thoroughly painted, and arc not
subject to damage—being equally adapted to Bales
made by Plantatio n Presses in every section ol the
country—merchants in the interior may deal iu
them with greater security than Rope; and tlie
uniformity of the bundles enables both merchants
and planters to determine precisely how to order
for any given number of Bales.
Since the close of tlie war, they have been intro
duced into the Mississipi Valli y and Texas, where
they have met with great favor, and arc fast super
seding the use of Rope. The workiDgof the “Ar
row Tie” is so simple, that the Compressors ol
Cotton in New Orleans bane been unabl • to sustain
themselves in their o. -position to Iron Bands, and
they are now usiug these Hauls and Ties, without
any objection, and with entire satisfaction.
Tho undersigned—Agent for this District—is
