Dffkty JitrUigrurr. ATLAHTi^ GEOEQIA, Wednesday, May 16, 1866. Tbe Lawyer*’ Test Oatb. Wo devote most of our space to-day to the publication of Ex-Governor Brown’s argument l>cfore Judge Erskine, of the United States Dis trict Court, for Georgia, at Savannah, against the 1 constitutionality of the test oath prescribed for attorneys practicing at the bar of said court.— We could not lay Ijeforc our readers more inter esting matter; we may add considering the prin ciples discussed, moral, as well as legal, we could not lay before them more important matter. The principles discussed are to the people, North as well as South, as well as to the legal profession, vital ones. They involve rights claimed in every civilized country by the citizens thereof, in time of peace, even though they had been conquered in war, and rights that have been no where denied them. The attempt now made to infringe upon those rights, has been made in the United States, and by its highest judicial tribunal.— Against this assumption Governor Brown’s argu ment is directed. We commend it to the atten tion of our readers. It is not only a clear, forci ble, and conclusive legal document, but it is elo quent withal. As a statesman and jurist, Gov ernor Brown has already won an enviable repu tation ; this effort ol his, will add largely to the sime. The Constitutional Amendment Which passed the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States on the 10th instant, by a vote of 125 to 37, apportions repre sentatives according to numbers, and disfran chises, until 1870, all who voluntarily adhered to the cause of the late Confederate States during the war. The whole intention of this act of the radical majority in that body is set forth in the following extract from tbe speech of a Pennsyl vania member, Mr. Randel, when the bill was put upon its passage. “ It was,” lie said, “ to prevent the possibility of any Southern State voting for tho amendment. The whole scheme was one of procrastination and delay, looking to the exclusion of the Southern States rill atler the next Presidential election. The President’s plan, on ilie contrary, was plain and simple, just and effectual, and as lie belived, acceptable to a vast majority of tbe people, North and South. The issue between the President and Congress was made up, and the appeal must be made to tbe people. He believed that nothing could avert the speedy possession of the legislative branch ol the Government by the conservative men of the country, under the lead of Andrew Johnson.” This is the whole scheme. We believe the President will veto it. We notice also a report that even Chief Justice Chase has pronounced the hill an unconstitutional one. + - 1 " ■ Only Eleven Million* of Dollar*. The Hon. Henry J. Raymond, a republican member of Congress from the city of New York, and chief editor of the New York Times, is re ported assaying that— “ The nation has done so much for the negro, and at such a cost, that it does not feel called up on just now to do much more,” and he is also of opinion that “there can’t he a doubt, that the country is tired and disgusted with the extrava gant style in which the claims of the negro have been pressed.” Mr. Raymond doubtless thought, when he ex pressed himself, of Gen. Howard’s modest call upon Congress for only eleven millions of dol lars to sustain 1.1ie operations of tbe Preedmen’s Bureau, tbe present year. And why should he not. call for it, and more; for they, the operations of the Bureau, will rcquire'inuch more ere, the expiration of that institution, judging as we may from the progress it makes in developing the na ture. of tbe negro, and the interests of the race one prominent characteristic of which is, if lie be given bread in his idleness, in idleness he will remain, indulging in all the low vices of his nature. General Howard lias not ask ed for too much. True, he hits asked for a sum that astounds the public, and a sunt that the national treasury can hardly spare; hut the ope rations of the bureau demand the sacrifice, and although the sum nearly equals the amount ex pended to cany on the government during the administration of John Quincy Adams, the ex travagance of which was the theme of the oppo sition to him when lie was n candidate for elec tion, causing his defeat, still the radical Congress must stand up to it and appropriate the money. The bureau must be sustained ; its host of offi cers. male and female, must lie paid their salaries; its agents must be paid ; its dependents must be provided for; tbe negro pauper must be provided with food and clothing; he is the national pau per, and il it requires twenty instead of eleven million, the nation must now make the sacrifice, from which may it be freed in 1867, else fifty million annually will not suffice. Mr. Raymond may well say that “ the country is tired and disgusted with the extreme and ex travagant style in which the claims of the negro have been pressed.” He is one of the republican members ot Congress, and ought to know. He is one of the editors of a leading black republican newspaper in the metropolis of the United States, and he surely ought to know. Corn for tlio Widows and Orphans of Sol* tilers and Others. The Milledgeville Federal Union, in its last issue, under the foregoing heading, contains the following important notice: In response to a special message from Gover nor Jenkins, upon the subject, the last Legisla ture, iu March, authorized the Governor to bor row $200,000 lor t he purpose of purchasing corn for the indigent widows and orphans of deceased soldiers, and for disabled soldiers and infirm white persons unable to support themselves. Since the adjournment of the Legislature, the Governor lias been using every exertion to raise this money, but in consequence of tlie condition of the country, has not been able to do so. We are glad to learn that there is now some pros pect of his concluding arrangements that will enable him soon to distribute this corn to the destitute persons provided for in the Act of th« Legislature. But even were the money or corn all in hand, and ready to be distributed* there would be diffi culty in a general distribution, or in knowing ex actly liow to distribute the same, as we learn that only about one-third ot the counties have made their returns of the beneficiaries. If the delay in making returns is iu consequence of there not being many beneficiaries iu these veri- large number ot counties to lie heard from, so much the better; but whether the number be large or small, it is to lie hoped that the remain ing" counties will soon make their returns, that the Governor may have little or no difficulty in making the distribution when the corn is secured. Ir will bo seen from the foregoing that those counties failing to make their returns as request ed by the Governor, will not only embarrass him in making distribution of the corn, but will in all probability deprive the suffering poor within tlieir limits ot their share of the State’s bounty. Such neglect would be cruel to the poor. We trust that the Inferior Courts of every delinquent county in the State will at once pro ceed lo make out their returns and transmit them to the Governor. C. C. Clay.—We had the pleasure of meet ing, yesterday, Judge* Clay, who was released list week after an imprisonment of eleven months, conducted with a rigor which we are wont to associate with the letter dr cachet and the worst days ol Bourbonism. Judge Clay has grown prematurely old, has be come quite gray, and suffers evidently from the nervous strain of an imprisonment, aggravated by_ those injurious subtleties of anuoyauee which it is] the delight of men to inflict, and the torture of proud men to endure. _ We trust he may rapidly recover, now that his shackles are off, and may live to write his chapter in that great volume of offsets which is to tell the history of the Butlers, the McNiels, the Schencks, and scores of their compeers, and which will reveal the secrets of Johnson’s Is land, of Fort Delaware, of the Old Capital, of better country than any other; for the rich man Tbe Lawyer** Teat Oatb. AHOCMEXTS BEFORE THE EXITED STATES DIS TRICT COURT AT SAVANNAH. The Savannah Fetes dc Herald reports the ar guments of Judge Law and Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, upon the constitutionality of the Test Oath as applicable to attorneys, the question hav ing arisen from the motion of the former to be permitted to continue his practice in the Court in which he had practiced lor forty-nine years, without taking the oath. Judge Law, that paper says, first addressed the Court, and gives the substance of his argu ment. He was followed by Governor Brown, whose argument is reported in full. We liave only space to-day for the report which follows, of the argument of the former gentleman—that of Governor Brown, we shall lay before our readers in our next issue. Judge Law addressed the Court, Judge Ers kine presiding, as follows : He opened tlie case by producing before the court the Amnesty Proclamation of President Johnson, the oath of allegiance which lie had taken under that proclamation, and an affidavit covering his acceptance of the term pardon as required by the proclamation—the original letter having been sent to Washington as required. He remarked that he had not designed to enter into the full consideration of the legal question, in consequence of indisposition ana the limited time in which to prepare such an argument as would do justice to the question; bnt inasmuch as the case has been brought forward upon his own application for admission to practice in the court of the United States, he felt it necessary to open the case by indicating tbe main point upon which he relied. In an eloquent tribute to the fidelity of the Supreme Court, to the great trusts committed to them, the distinguished gentleman expressed his entire confidence in the results of tlieir delibera tions upon the subject. The judiciary, however, powerless in times when great convulsions agi tated and threatened the destruction of the coun try—when sectional strife, extending to all class es and parlies, had destroyed, for a while, its vitality—when its righteous decisions were un heard in the din of war—had always been true to the constitution of the country—the great charter of American liberties—He could not, therefore, doubt what the decision of that tribu nal would eventually be. The first proposition laid down was : that on the 18tli of February, 1865, he contended that he had been fully and freely pardoned by the Executive, which pardon embraced a full release from all the pains and penalties incurred by any act or acts commited anterior to it; that the test oaili was the inflic tion of pains and penalties, and therefore null and void; that the pardoning power is a consti tutional power conferred upon the President, and no act of Congress can take away the benefit which the exercise of this power bestows upon the subject of the Executive elemency. He elaborated Uiis point, contending that the act was a penal act, and in its operation, especially fn his own case, the infliction of pains and penalties. The second proposition discussed was that the test oath, mutilated with that provision of the Constitution which forbids that the accused shall be made a witness to criminate himself. You cannot put the witness upon the stand to crimin ate himself that would offend against the law and the constitution. You cannot set up the in quisition, aud by the application of the torture, compel confession. That would shock humani ty, and he abhorrent to the civilization of the age, but by an ingenious device you apply an inqusi- tioual test to his conscience, searching out its most secret thoughts and emotions, by which you accomplish so effectually and completely the destruction of the rights of person and property, as though lie were stricken upon the rack, and the screws aud tortures of the inquisition applied to his person. This is repulsive to the nature of our Government, to her lree institutions, danger ous to the liberty of the citizen, and virtually de fies the 5tli Article of Amendments to the Con stitution. What does it propose? You must purge yourself by an oath that you have not com mitted, suspected, or imputed, or imagined offences, before you shall exercise or enjoy rights and property which otherwise are tlie un alienable inheritance of an American citizen. But the benign principle of the law, and the claims of the Constitution already referred to, considers every one innocent until the}' are proved guilty, and further declares that “ no one shall be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law.” This principle of magna charta, engrafted into the Constitution and interpreted by the highest legal authorities, is well defined and indisputable. \Vhnt is meant by due process of law? That the person charg ed with crime shall have the benefit of an im partial trial by a jury of his peers, and by in dictment or presentment, arraignment, and com pulsory attendance of witnesses, and the full investigation of the charges, the benefit of counsel in his defence, and all the provisions which the humane maxims of the law throws around him. This whole arrangement of a test oath militates against the clause of the Constitu tion. With one single stroke his head is cut off; and by the contrivance of a test oath he is as effectually executed as if the axe had done its work. The third proposition is that an attorney has a franchise aud a property in his office and its emoluments, and that this act divests him of this franchise, this property, and is consequently null aud void. He is not an officer of the Govern ment. The whole matter by the Judiciary Act, 36, his qualifications and admission is pointed out by the legislatures and is referred to the court.* He is an officer of the court. To cany out the provision of the law the license is granted without limitation. It is “ dum bene segesserit,” and cannot be revoked by the government but for crime ascertaned by due process of law. Nor can it be revoked by the court while he conducts himself properly. He acquires, therefore a vest ed interest in his office and its emoluments. His mind, soul and body are given to his profession al labors; and by these labors, protected by law, his rights of property in, and the emoluments of, his office become vested interests. What are vested interests ? They have been defined—see “ Charlton Rep,” 332. A vested interest is “ when a man lias the power to do certain ac tions so to possess certain things, according to the law of the laud.” This power is taken away and he is divested of his vested rights secured by the law of the land, aud the Constitution of the couutry by this Test Oath Act, and it is therefore void as militating against the Constitu tion which declares, as already noticed, that no one shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Fourth proposition. This is an ex post facto law, and the Constitution expressly prohibits Congress from passing an ex post facto Jaw. What is an ex post facto law? Making an act punishable which was not punishable at the time of its commission is ex post facto. See 1 Kent, 408 ; 3 Bell, 386; 6 Craneli, 138. What is tlie crime charged ? What the act committed? which, bv this running contrivance of a test oath, seeks to disclose and punish. Not treason. That is punished by impeachment and trial by due pro cess of law but for imagined offences,* supposed misdemeanors, the natural emotions of humanity, the sympathies of a father whose son was from home and suffering, these are the offenses, and the refusal to take an oath is made the evidence of guilt, and his property taken without trial and for supposed offences which hnd no legal penalty' attached to their commission. The law therefore is rx post facto, clearly for bidden by the constitution, and consequently in operative and void. Before the act of January, 1865, there was no Jaw which forfeited the property of the attorney in its office or its emoluments for crime, and if there had been, it could only have been enforced by due process of law. In conclusion, the gentleman made a forcible appeal, which, as we are not able to do justice to in this report of the proceedings, we shall not attempt. We have only given an imperfect sketch of the line of argument gathered from imperfect notes, our object being simply to grati fy our readers who are interested in the question. Governor Ai.i.en gives this advice in his new paper, the Mexican Times : “ To our friends in Griffin and Atlanta, Georgia ; in Jersey' City, Mississippi; in Montgomery, Alabama; in Day- ton, Ohio; and in New Orleans, Louisiana- -we say to come to Mexico immediately, if you have any money. Even a small capital will answer. The t*est bargains in land ami stock can now lie had for cash—a small portion for cash and the balance on long time. To lie plain and candid: if you have no money don’t come; stay where you are until you can accumulate some.” We clip the foregoing from an exchange. As much as we sympathise with those of our late fellow-citizens, who have expatriated themselves because of the results of the late war, and who now dwell in foreign lands, we trust that no one who owes his first duty to the laud of his birth, and that of his fellow-countrymen, to his friends, and his relations, as Southern men do to theirs, whether he has, or has not money, will be tempt ed to desert, or be deluded into a desertion of it and theirs. For the poor man, the South is a The Credit ot Georg I*. Y e see it stated in a telegraphic dispatch that at a meeting in London of bondholders of the State of Georgia, it was resolved that the offer of the State to refund the coupons and over due bonds into a new debt, carrying seven per cent, interest, be accepted. This prompt acceptance of the offer of our State, on the part of its for eign creditors, speaks well for its credit abroad, however extended the efforts may be to discredit it in Northern financial circles, by, up to a very recent period at least, a refusal to negotiate for the bonds she has authorized to be put upon tlie market save at a most outrageous discount for “greenbacks.” Georgia has ever maintained a high credit abroad and at home. She is perhaps at the present time less encumbered with debt than any State in, or out of tlie “Union,” if she may be so considered by the South’s radical foes. More than this, her resources, aside from taxa tion, are not only more than abundant enough to meet her liabilities, but they can be converted, were it politic and wise to do so, into gold more than sufficient in amount to relieve her from all her liabilities. What other State, North or South, can claim so much for itself ? In Lon don this is well known to capitalists, and appre ciated by them ; in the Nortli it is well known, and were it not the fact, that a set ot malicious and crazy politicians, iu the madness ol tlieir ambition and thirst for power and place, stand between the President and the work of recon struction, Georgia Bonds would rate as high in New r York or London as any other securities, and command as ready' sale. We are proud of our noble old commonwealth; proud ot the statesmanship of her sons that has placed her in so enviable a position; proud of the enter prise and integrity of her people. Tiie time, wc trust, will soon come, when her securities in Eu rope and America will attain the point they' had reached before the war, aud he sought after as they' then were, not as stocks thrown upon the market to be speculated upon, but as permanent investments by' capitalists, for it is fact that they had reached that point, and had been withdrawn from the financial markets on this and the other side of the Atlantic. Tlie Destruction of Valparaiso. There is considerable speculation in the coun try' now' as to W'hat will be the final result of the recent bombardment of Valparaiso by' tlie Span ish fleet. The entire press of the North de nounce it as an outrage unparalelled in history, having, of course, forgotten about the little affair at Charleston ! The total loss sustained at Val paraiso is estimated at twenty millions dollars. A correspondent of the New York Herald say's that there is scarcely a mercantile house in that city' which has not suffered more or less, and the writer gives a few' of the American firms who are involved in the ruin. Among these are Alsop & Co., of New York, damaged to tlie amount of $35,000; Laninan, Kemp & Co., of New York, $4,000; Hememway & Co., and Loring& Co., of Boston, the former $.'>0,000, and the latter $25,000. England and our country had fleets in the harbor at the time this outrage was perpetrated by r the Spanish forces, adequate ly powerful to have suppressed the bombard ment altogether, but by some misunderstanding or timidity they never budged an inch—except to take positions from whence the*’effects of the Spanish shot and shell could be better observed— to prevent the wanton destruction of life and property. Commodore Rogers of our navy has made an official report of the matter to Wash ington. He excuses himself upon the ground that the English Admiral declined to interfere, and that lie did not feel authorized to take the entire responsibility. French and English inter ests, in the shape of goods, deposited in the Cus tom House, against which the Spanish guns were particularly directed, suffered more than American; and it remains to be seen in what way the authorities of those nations will receive this act of Her Catholic Majesty’s Admiral. Com modore Rodgers admits that with the iron-clad Monadnock he could have silenced the Spanish guns and sunk their vessels out of sight. It is hard to say, just at this time, what the feeling is at the capital about this matter, or w hat sort of diplomacy will grow out of it; but one thing is certain, the American people will enjoy no grat ification at the course pursued by their naval commander. -* »- Tlie Proeaamme of the Directory. By' the “Directory” is meant the Sumner-Ste- vens clique now directing the legislation of Con gress, and planning the approaching political canvass. It is termed the “Central Directory,” whose one great thought, a spicy Western paper —the Milwaukie News—tells us, “above all others is how they shall perpetuate their power, and benefit themselves”—truth, eveiy word of it.— The programme of this Directory, the same pa per states, is stated to be as follows: 1; To exclude the Southern States from rep resentation till after the Presidential campaign. 2. To exclude the entire Southern vote for Pres- dent and Vice President, upon the precedent es tablished by Congress in the last election. 3. If the Southern and Northern democratic vote together should elect a President, to be pre pared to resist that election by a new rebellion. 4. To nominate none but thoroughly radical candidates; to avoid all doubtful men, and espe cially men of “democratic antecedents,” aud to go before the country' on negro suffrage, negro superiority, Southern territorialization and radi cal centralization. Wliat a programme! How’ selfish, and how uujust! How' unstatesmanlike, and how unpa triotie! How revolutionary, and how destruct ive to the “ Union” in all its tendencies! No des potism that could be imposed upon the nation, could be worse than this. Tlie red republicans of France, red as and from the blood that flowed from the guillotine iu the days of their power, sought for no more than just such power and just such supremacy' to exercise power. History re peats itself now, in the assumptions and designs of this Central Directory. That it will repeat itself, in their success, may Providence avert!— The more than unnatural conflicts between tbe North and South that have already taken place, the oceans of blood that have been shed, the re sult ot these conflicts—ought they not to suffice ? Will mad ambitiou, strife for place and power, the hatred of sections, never cease ? Must “rule or ruin” be still the motto of the South’s enemies ? Have they not yet been glutted in their triumphs over us ? Shall we have no justice extended to us ? Must we be slaves in every political sense to such a despotism ? We solemnly utter our protest against the designs of this “Directory,” and appeal to the right-thinking conservative men ot the North to save the country from the terrible calamity that would befall it, in the event that success should attend the designs of those leaders of the radicals, who have assumed to give direction to the future policy of the government. Is the South “a dog” that it should submit to such as they would inflict ? MEMPHIS CORRESPONDENCE.

FROM OCR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Memphis, Tenn., May 8, I860. I had just mailed my letter of May 1st, when tidings reached us in the interior of tlie city of a disturbance between the police and negroes in the extreme Southern portion, which has been the subject of so many wilfully perverted and exaggerated telegrams for the past week, that I have regretted since that the occurrence hap pened at too late an hour for me to have inclu ded a calm and truthful account of it. Even,' one of these dispatches, telegraphed from this and other points, that I have seen, are so sensa tional that truth was lost sight of in their getting up. Even some of our local press have exceed ed the bounds of reason in their descriptions of the affair. It is impossible to get at tlie truth of its immediate origin, but'the fact soon became apparent that it was the result of a concocted scheme on the part of the negroes*!o rob and murder, and even make themselves masters ot the city. A regiment of negro troops, who had been quartered for some time past at Fort Pick ering, were paid off and mustered out of service April 80, and being thus suddenly freed from re straint, after imbibing quantities of bad whisky during the day, were well prepared for attempt ing to carry out the hellish designs which they had been engendering for months past, on the evening of May 1st, Th$ police, assisted by a few citizens, however, were fully equal to the unexpected emergency, and after a few hours ot pretty earnest fighting, the negroes were driven into the Fort, when the r&l disturbance, or riot as it has been called, ended. Under cover of the Fort they kept up a desbftory firing at passers by for the ensuing two dsr.'s, which effected no thing more than to add tdbAlie number of sensa tional reports. One firemP^one policeman and ten negroes at the outSfr^ *ere all that were killed; as many more wounded, but none mortally. As is usual in incH cases, we have to condemn several acts of/lawlessness that were committed. Under the Excitement several in nocent negroes were shot down in different parts of the city, and on the night of May 2, a negro church and two or three'Manties were burned. Tlie Post, a radical sheet, 1b the only city paper that has taken the part of the negroes. That was to be expected, however, as it is paid to do so, being supported by subscriptions among those of that party at the^Nortli. From it we learn that the whole batch of Yankee preachers and school teachers took-the first boat up the river—we hope, never to return. “A guilty con science needs no accuser,” is admirably verified in this action on their part. In fact, they have made their guilt so apparent, that they cannot blame us for denouncing them as the principal instigators to this unhappy disturbance. General Stoneman, commanding this district, has taken the matter in hand, and $as appointed a com mission, consisting of three,United States officers and one citizen—General M. J. Wright, who is well known to the citizens of Atlanta—to inves tigate the whole affair, in another week we hope to see it thoroughly sifted and justice done both parties. The river has reached its highest, and is now slowly falling, without doiqg any further damage. At this point it did not reach as high a point as was expected from tlie accounts from above, where at some places it came within a lew incl of the great flood of 1859, ,qgfi no damage was done in this immidiate vicinity. The number of boats to be seen at our wharves is becoming painfully less every day, and those that are run ning are hardly paying expenses. A party who arrived here Thursday on their way to New Or leans remained over Frida^d^ Saturday on the lookout for a New Q-ykna packet, then were compelled to take a Vicksburg boat. The Germans had a grand procession and pic nic yesterday. The procession as it passed up Main street was a magnificient spectacle, and attracted the attention of our entire population. The Geimans are behind no nation in their ap preciation of true enjoyment, and go into such things with a zest that is very commendable. We have had little rain in the past week, and the weather is becoming quite warm and sultry. Gardens are flourishing, and we are having an abundance of nearly all the different varieties of vegetables. The bad water, liow'ever, continues, but with some prospect of that draw-back to liv ing here being remedied. The subject of water works is now demanding the attention of our citizens. J. B. L.

The demand for Bacon, Flour and Grain was greater than has been felt in this market for some time, and prices are con sequently very stiff at our quotations in another column. There were more buyers than sellers yesterday morning. The receipts are light, and the present stock on the market very low. The best article of White on the market is now being held at $1 40 though we heard of orders filled yester day at $1 30©1 32 from store. Yellow and mixed ranges from $1 25©1 27#.

Bacon is firm with an upward tendency. Supply fully equal to the demand. THE MONEY MARKET Remains without change, save a slight advance in a few Southern bank bills, among which may be mentioned the Bank of Fulton, Bank of Savannah, Bank of the State, Merchant’s and Planter's, and a few others. Holders of bills continue to offer them freely. Gold and Silver remain quiet, with few transaction in either. See our regular quotations in another place. Loulsyille Market. The Courier of Saturday morniDg says “ the market was again excited for both breadstuff's and provisions, consequent in part upon the upward tendency of the East ern markets, together with a speculative inquiry. Our market, however, does not keep pace with the advances elsewhere, and prices here continue to rule at less rates than at either Cincinnati or New York. The meeting at the Board of Trade wa3 full, and all parties exhibited much interest in the dispatches, which were still very highly favorable for breadstuff’s and pro visions. The demand for Hour is active, with an upward tendency for the higher grades, which are the most sought for, while common superfine is neglected. The stock of low grade flour is in excess of other descriptions and rules dull to-day, being in no export demand. Holders of mess pork have advanced their rates, and some holders are asking $32 for June delivery. The sales quoted yesterday at $30 50 should have read $30, the actual figures, but one would sell at the higher rate to-day.

Davis to a Tender of S\ MPATHY FROM NORTH CAROLINA.—The fol lowing letter appears in the Southern papers: Fortress Monroe. April 22,1S66. Mrs. J. K. Kyle, Fayetteville, X. C.: My Dear Madam.—I have the honor to acknowledge yours of the 14th insL, inclosing a check to be forwarded to .Mrs. Davis, as a present from the ladies of Fayetteville. Sadly remembering how your homes were deso lated during the war, I could not have expected you, in the midst of ruin, to have been mindful of those at a distance. Nothing could add to my Admiration for the heroism and virtues of ray couutrywomeu, for the measure was full to overflowing, nor could anything increase the gratitude with which I will ever recur to their confidence and sympathy. It only remains to assure you and the ladies whom y ou represent that I am, most gratfully and respectfully, your friend and obedient servant, Jefferson Davis, j The Sword of Cromwell. With pleasure we insert the following from our brother of the South Carolinian. It appears that at the capture ol Columbia, S. C., by r Sherman’s army, there was lost an arti cle of great antiquity, and highly treasured by South Carolina Masons as a relic of a great man and of the past : This was the famous sword of state, called among our Masons, “ The Cromwell Sword,” and commonly believed among them to have been once possessed by the Lord Protector of Eng land. We draw attention to the fact of the loss and to the descriptive particulars which follow, in the hope that public attention being drawn to its history, it may be recovered, drawn from some obscure hiding-place, and restored to the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, to which it be longed. “This antique weapon was a subject of pecu liar interest as a relic, rather than for its use and beauty. Its histoiy is given by Dalcho in his Masonic reader. It was a large, once elegant, and curious two- tdged weapon, in a rich velvet scabbard, highly ornamented with Masonic emblems, and with tbe anus of the Grand Master. It had been pre sented to the Grand Lodge by the Provincial Grand Master, after the installation of the grand officers; was given as a consecrated sword, and received with reverent assurances to keep it safely, so far as human effort could accord safety. The weapon had been long in the possession of the Grand Master’s family, and was said to have once belonged to Oliver Cromwell, a legend to which some degree of probability may be given, from the fact that the Provincial Grand Master was a descendant of Sir Edward Leigh, who was a member of the Long Parliament and a Parlia mentary general in the time of the Protector,; from whom, perhaps, he received it. “The farther history of this sword may as well be given here. From the time of the presenta tiou it continued in the possession of the Grand Lodge, and was borne by the Grand Sword Bearer, or in later times, the Grand Pursuviant, in all public processions. At length, at the con flagration, which in the year 1838 destroyed so large a portion of the city of Charleston, and with other buildings the Masonic hall, the sword was with great difficulty saved by brother Samuel Seyle, the Grand Tiler, with the loss of the hilt, the scabbard, and a small part of the extremity of the blade. In the confusion consequent by the fire, the sword thus mutilated was mislaid, and for a long time was supposed to be lost. In 1852 a committee was appointed by the Grand Lodge to make every exertion for its recovery, and at length, in the beginning of the year 1854, it was accidentally found by the Grand Tiler in an outhouse on his premises, and was by him re stored to the Grand Lodge in its mutilated con dition. The lost piece of the blade was ingeni ously replaced by a cutler in the city of Charles ton, and being sent to New York, was returned with new hilt and velvet scabbard, aud was used in its appropriate place during the centenial cer emonies of that year. “With such a history', aud blended with such a tradition ot its origin, we need not feel sur prised at the universal and keen feeling occa sioned by' its loss.” ALABAMA.
