The citizens of Richmond have
tisked Mrs. Davis that the late ex-
president, Jefferson Davis lie buried
in that city. Sirs. Davie responds as
follow*:
T'i> the Hon. City Council and Hoard of
Alderman of Hirhnnmd:
Genti.emex—I have received your
resolution and thank you for the
handsome dress in which you embod
ied them, and most sincerely for the
noble tribute you have paid to my
husband. These are the more gratify
ing because some of your members
were our neighbors when we hoped
everything and feared nothing, and
the reverses and disappointments we
sustained drew us closer together.
Believe me, the aflection you express
for him who served you gladly while
be could and 1otc:1 your state aud
city sincerely while life lasted, brings
such comfort as is now possible to me
andmine. I uoteyour resolutions as to
the disposition of the revered remains
My friends, do not press for an
swer now. I cannot decide the ques
tion yet, but can only say I will do
what seems to our family and friends
best when we come to determine the
final place of interment. One of my
dead rests with you. and most tenderly
have you cared for and feuded the
little grave,and a grateful memory is
ever present with me. Please accept
singly and collectively, for yourselves
and beloved city you represent, the
best wishes and sincere thanks of
Yours faithfully,
V. Jkkfekso.n Davis.
They Have a Test Case.
Washington, April 30.—The Star
to night says: The democrats now
lirve a case they may get into the
supreme court to test the constitution
ality of the act of the speaker in
counting members who do not vote
to make a quorum. They refrained
from voting on the Dingcly worsted
bill and it was passed by 138 affirm
ative votes, the speaker counting i
quorum. It is the purpose of the im
porters to resist the operation of the
hill, if it is passed by the senate and
receives the president’s signature.
By taking a test case to the courts,
when an attempt is made to collect
the duty on worsteds by the bill, the.,
can get the question before the su
preme court.
Charlotte,JN. C., will celebrate the
anniversary of the Mecklenburg dec
laration of independence on the 20th
inst. Wonder if,Sam Jones will take
a part in the programme. Mr. Cleve
land has been invited, but from the
following it will lie seen that he can
not attend:
810 Madison Avenue, April 20,
18SM). II. H. Orr, Esq., Secretary:
Dear Sir—Your kind invitation to be
present at the 115th anniversary of
the declaration of independence,
made at Charlotte, N. C., is received.
1 am sorry that ray engagements aud
plans already made render it imposs
ible for me to accept the invitation.
Thanking you and members of the
committee for thinking of me in con
nection with the occasion, 1 am y>urs
very truly,
(>hover Cleveland.

Greece legalized piracy and made
its captivis slaves. Rome defied em
perors and degraded the people. In
Athens, when Demosthenes was pro
nouncing his orations, you could buy
a man for 83!>, half the price of an
ordinary horse. Plato was exposed
for sale in the slave market. JKsop,
whose tables you read and study, was
a slave. In Rome, when Christianity
dawned upon the earth, a slave was
worth about 800. That was the
price at Rome, with all her wealth,
splendor, palaces, strength and vic
tories, put upon a man.
You could not buy men at that
price now. Something has changed
the whole matter. “O,” says one,
it is progress, human progress, that
has made the change.” Very well.
A friend of mine was in the Fiji
Islands forty-five years ago. They
have had just as much time to pro
gress as any one, since they started
from the monkeys, as some of our
skeptical friends claim to have done.
What was a man worth there 1,800
years this side of Rome ? You could
buy a man for about SG. Put the
best specimens of iufidels obtainable
into the Fiji market forty five years
ago and they would not have brought
87.50 apiece. But you cannot buy a
man now for 87.50, nor for a million
dollars. Why not? Twelve hundred
Christian chapels will tell why not.
They have read that book which says:
“Ye are not redeemed with corrupt
ible things, as silver and gold, but
with the precious blood of Christ.”
Now I judge that a book which raises
the principles of humanity in that
way is worth beeping for the good it
has done. So yov see “progress” has
not raised the value of humanity.
They have had 1,800 years to progress
in, and from Rome, at 800, have
come down in Fiji to 87.50 Now
v hat has changed these things n
Fiji was not “progress”—it was sal
vation It was not improvement, it
was not the merely changing of apes
into infidels, but the sudden changing
of sinners into saints. There are men
to day preaching the gospel of Christ
who, forty years ago, would sit at
cannibal feasts. They have been
changed, and all the “progress” of
ten million ages would not work such
a chang# at that. It is done by the
power of G«l.
Sam Jones and the Negroes.
Charlotte, N. C., May 1.—Fully
8,000 negroes were crowded into the
tabernacle here this afternoon to hear
Sam Jones. It was a special meeting
fo.- negroes. lu a town of 12,000 pop
ulation such a sight was never before
witnessed. Sam Jones talked to the
negroes about stealing, lying, whisky
drinking and immorality. As long,
he said, as the race sells its vii tue for
a spool of tmead, or a ribbon, it can
never amount to much.
The most striking scene ever wit
nessed was at the close of the sermon,
when Jones asked all those who were
going to quit stealing, lying, whiskv-
drinkingand immorality, and here
after lead a Christian life, to stand up.
The entire tlnong rose in a solid
mass.
According to a special from Wash
