There are good reason* for thinking that way; but our government to taking tbe proper ooore*.

He will speak io every county in tbe district, whether he ba* opposition or not- A* usual be intends doing bis full duty to democracy. It is not known if tbe populists or republicans will put out a candidate against hifa. But this does pot matter, for Mr. Barllatt i* stronger than ever in tbe Sixth district, and will be re elected by a large majority. Miles and Davis Tbe Confederate veterans have •lever had very much affection for Gen. Nelson A. Mile*, say* the Colum bus Enquirer. Io fact they have long cherished a grievance against him. In May, 1865, by order of Miles, fetters were placed upon the feet of Hon. Jefferson Davto, president of tbe Southern Confederacy. This indigni ty was oot demanded by circumetan* cea, and it wa* apparently done for tbe sole purpose of humiliating Mr. Davis and bis friend*—the people of the South. Gen. Mile* loog since recog nised bi* mistake, aa be has endeav ored to make It appear that he acted under compulsory order* from the war department. Mile* has been so poaitive io bi* denial* that the ques tion has remained an open one, but it to uow settled beyond doubt, by tbe publication of th* official order under which Mile* acted. This order is prin ted in facsimile in the current number of McClure’* magaaine, in a aerie* of article* being published in that m*ga<> sine, over th* signaler* of Charles A. Dana, th* aseistant secretary of war. Here i* tbe order: “Fortram Monroe, May 22, 1865. Brevet Major General Mile* i* hereby authorised and directed to place man acle* and fetter* upon tbe band* and feet of Jefferson Davi* and Clement C. Clary, Jr., whenever be may think it advisable in order to render their im prisonment more secure. "By order of the secretary of war. “C. A. Dana, Asst. Sec. of War.” This order is convincing proof that Geo. Mile* did not, have ‘ imperative order*/* such as be ba* always claimed to have. The aclbsnliclty of this *vi deuce cannot be controverted. When President Davi* and a number of other gjntlemeo were captured near Irwin ville. May 10, 1865, and carried to Fortre** Mouroe, Secretary of War Stanton sent hi* a*»i*taol secretary to th* *c*o* in person He proleaeed fa fear that Mr. Davi* would either *t tempi to escape or commit suicide. Mr. Dana prepared the order for Mile* and It I* sale to **y that if the general bad obeyed it* true intent, Irttet* would never have been placed up< n Mr Davi. ——— — Friend* repreeenl capital to many men in this town whom aowrow of Income are no* generally known.
