Tho Death ot Jefferson Dav’s—
President of the Confederacy,
- Jeffersen Davis died in
New Orleans Friday morning,
12/30 o'clock. During Thurs
day it wa3 thought by his physi-
cians that he was inn proving, but
a relapse taken place, and dur
ing a severe coughing spell, at
12:30 he quietly passed away
at the ripe old age of $1 years.
Mr, Davis was the first and
enly president of the South.
During the late war he was the
foremost hero et the Confedera
cy. GslUntly he stood by her
and bravely he bore her defeat.
Ail&r the different states se
ceded to the union of the federal
government, and took the oath
of allegiance, Mr, Davis, with
that proud and haughty spirit
of southern sire—carried down
from ancestry, would rather die,
than suciumb against what he
■bettered To-be fight r ad for the
cause, Lad stained southern soil
with southern blood, and mark
ed her broad plains with ihe
graves of southern heroes. He
was right. Never did i thought
enter this southern hero that he
must betray his people, after
they had spilt their lite blood.
Thus he lost his citizenship and
died an allien to lhe unien—
having never cast a vole since
before the war.
Mr. Davis was horn ia Chris
tian county, Ivy. His father
was a large planter,
Jeff. Davis is more.
Though the people’s sins he bore;
While the south, his loss mourns,
He has gone higher to receive a
crown.
Yet the pages ol history mart maik
his tomb —
He was a hero, brave and true—
For tie south, and for her cause,
Ho led her color* a* ho was.
some thought him mean.—others a
fool.
But neither wa* he—he was Cool.
While he may not have seen as
they did,
Yet, he did not put himself before
the north for a bid.
Abe Lincoln offered hia one,
Bat he sever accepted on
Any terms —not even for a day—
A southerner he was, and fought

The Killing of Peltus.
It now turns ont that' Mrs.
Southworth, who killed Pettus
in New York a few days ago,
was no 4 such an ang*l after all.
She had bet on horse racing,
chartered excursions, dressed in
mens’ clothing and weal to mas
querade balls. Sho is now a
full-fledged murderess clamor-
ing for " Woman’s RighU.” Can*
you set? ,
The lamented Ben. Hill, ono
of Georgia's -Lining statesmen*;
safd at one lime on lire stump,-;
“Me and Mis, ilili -
ed to have nolhitfg to do vvitK
politics, but rise to the einineuco?
of the L'ut we talked tme
niatteriMrer, and Mrs. dill con
:luled I must take the stump.
I like petticoat government- I
believe it is lha best govern
ment under the sun!” Right?
here there was something lack
ing in Mr. Hill. Had ho beea.
an eye-witness to the as: ajsina
tion of Pettus, lie would havo
thought different. There he
would have seen the serpent’s
eye piercing in all its rag# and
madness of sin, in the dark eyes
o! thodashing young widow as
she tiredfive shots into fh* dying
Pettus, as he reeled fo and fro
on the great and thronged street
of New York. Had he been aa
eye-witness when the serpent
slipped around Adam and got
next to Eve, perhaps he would
have thought different. ’Tis
strange how Mr. Hill’s big mind
concealed these things.- Per
haps he went en the line that
woman had redeemed herself
when she bore desist; but Em
bore a greater burden than b 8
mother, when He died on th
cross to intercede and redeem a
lost world.
Whatever may ba the sym
pathy of a New York jury in
Mrs. Soufhworfh’s case, the
erime is murder/ lhe Supremity
can sea if in no other light; the
werld must frown upon it. If
Airs. South worth is freed, she is
a murderess at liberty; if she
goes fo a prison cell, she is a
murderes*; it the hangs, she is a
murderess. With all thaf, only
a woman, dealt with as a wo
man, suffering for a woman’s
crime.
Rettus’ remains were emtered
last week at his homo ia Chatta
nooga, Tens., amid the tear3 of
leving relatives and friends.
He was one of New York’s fin
est busineis men.

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 5.—A few of
the iaitiatodones collected last night
at a resort within fifty miles of At
lanta to witness a prize fight.
The contestants were Beddy Flyna
and Billy Cummings, ef Memphis.
Both men are lightweights, and
each has won considerable reputa-
tion as a fighter.
Cummings rushed the fighting
in the first two rounds and appar*
sally had Flynn at his marey. In
the third round, however, Flynp
lauded heavily on Cumming’* neck
and brought him to the ground.'
After the lapse of ton seconds tha
refeiee called time, and as Cum
mings was arable to come to tha
scratch the fight was awarded to
Flynn.
