Thk convention ot chairmen and secre-

taries ol the Democratic Executive Com-

mittees of the counties composing theThirty-6rs- t Senatorial I) strict, which met

yesterday at the Peabody Hotel, nouii-nite- d

Mr. John P. Eklmondson, of Somer-viil- e,

to fill the seat in the Senate made

vacant by the death.of Sir. Blackwell. Mr.

Edmondaon is a n member of

the bar of Pomerville, and one of themost promising of the younger politicians

in this part of the Sute, and, it is pre-

dicted, will make a reputation in the Sen-

ate cf which the people he is to represent

will feel proud. We say this, feeling sureof hie election, asuuiin that all thou"

who voted for Blackwell will vote for hi- - .

He is worthy of ail that an be tone fahim by the party.

"Joe" McCriAAGH, of the St. Louis. one of the most pro-

gressive journa'ists in the country, and

the managing editor of one of the

best nawepapers, s?ems to have got him-

self into as deep a hole aa to fit. John as

Gen. Sherman has aa to Mr. Jefferson

Davis. The man Innate, whom he relied

upon to substantiate his charge that thegreat temperance advocate was anxious

to sell out to Blaiuo for a price fixed by

himself, denies that' he" has" or had any

such knowledge, or ever by letter or

"word of month" suggested such a thing.

And thus Mr. McCuUagh, the shrewd and

enterprising, the end g,

"is left," 3 the boys say. St. Johnis still an uosmirched evangelist of cold

water.

ScnvTLER Colsax dropped dead yesterday at Mankata, Minn., and thus sud-

denly closed a career that at one time bidfair to find its ending in the White IIouein the Presidency of the United States. As

Speaker of the House for three terms andPresident of the Senate f,r one, Mr. Col-

fax was the most popular man of hiparty, and even by his opoonents was

held in something like esteem. Ilia repu-

tation was good, and he had built it up by

the most painstaking methods from thehumble position of "printer's devil" to

the second place in the government cf

iha United States. He wa in the zenithof his power and influence when the ex-

posure of tha Credit Mobilier took placf ,

by which his reputation was so smirched

that he was compelled to retire al-

together from public life. His cul-

pability in the matter was reac'- -

i!v and it would not nave i

injured him permanently, but tuat ho

tried to lie out of it. It was the humilia-

tion of falsehood moie than his connec-

tion with the Credit ilobilier that pushed

him into disgrace and comparative ob-

livion. He since did penance for Lis &ii).

and gave himself up to temperance andSunday-schoo- l lecturing, eschewing poli-

tics altogether.

The interview with. Col. M. J.

as to Mr. Davis.

Wsiiinotos, January 13. In the Sen-

ate on motion of Senator Hawlev,the Sherman-Davi- s resolutions were takenup, and Senator Vance Fpoke upon them.He quoted from Geu. Sherman's letter al-

lusions to fiutitrg Gov. Vance's officialcorrespondence in the Executive Mansion.He said no part of the official correspond-ence and word3 were ever kept in the Ex-

ecutive Mansion. The letter referred to byGen. Sherman was not found in the copy-book referred to, for the reason that nosuch letter was ever there. He asserted,on the honor of a gentleman, that no let-

ter making the threats Gen. Sherman al-

leged to have been made Was everrcceived-b-y

the speaker from Jett'ersou Divis.Men who fought on the Northern nnd vic-

torious side seemed to think it & shamethat those who fought for the South andlost did not join in the attempt to heapobloquy on the head of Jeferson Davis.The speaker had, it was well known,been drawn into secession quite nn- -willia2ly. bnt. once in, there was nota day nor hour that he had riot done hisbest to make it successful. Gen. Shermanwould rob bim of this satisfactory reflec-

tion. It was true the speaker bad sent anembassy to Gen. Sherman to ask protection tor his people, but tne tjonteueracywas then at an end. Gen. Sherman hadfound in the fact that he did not awaitthe return of his embassy evidence thathe was afraid of Jefferson Davis. "Afraidof Davis, then a fugitive; was ever aproposition more absurd?" The reasonwhy he did not await the return was because it was reported that the commissionhad been captuted by K if atnek s cavalry, promptly robbed of their personaluossessions and taken to Gen. bnerraan sheadquarters. Thereupon he joined theline of the retreatiug army.

senator llawley Earn the purpose ot nisresolution wa" simply to make accessiblewhat he regarded us information of his-toric value. He did not seek this debatenor wish to prolong it. He had no dispoanion to wantonly asatl or exult overmen who had lost, Lut whenever issueswere presented which had been broughtinto view in this discussion he mut main-tain tbe standard he had' maintained inwar and characterize as conspirators' andtraitors (hose who encased iu ci.spiiacyand treason.

about the opposition in the Confederacy to Davis s administration.

benator Brown was tho next speaker.He said he was willing to stand npon hisrecord and did not propose to discuss it,but would briefly reply to one or two as- -erti?iis that had beeu nude rrc-ar- to

his alleged obstruction to President Davis sadminit-lration-. He differed with Davisvery materially on several questions, anddiscussed the differences with him veryfrankly, out threw no obstacle in tue wayof his miliwry operations, nor didever disobey any legal order which thePresident of tho Confederatv had theright to make. When Gen. Sherman in-

vaded Georgia, be itov. Browm had organized a military force of old men andboys who'.were not liable to conscription ormilitaiv duty under the law of the Confederacy. ' A requisition was made by President Dvis to turn this hotly of t 'oop-i

over to the regular Confederate commander and ho refused to obey it, because thePresident had no right to issue the order, and undoubtedly had iesued it undera misunderstanding of the nature oi thecas. He quoted from his own mess.igosto the Georgia Legislature to show his relations to the Confederacy at tha- time,and his earnest efforts to support inilhnryoperations. He oiotel irom Gen. fcher-man a letter ana tne oonesj-ondenc- e be-

tween the latter and president Liucoln.

pose, lie had been invitee, through Sir.King, by Gen. Sheiman to visit him totreat for terms of peace aa far as Georgiawas concerned, but he replied that he hadno autnority to neEMtiate. The speakerwas not an ordinal linion man : he wasa secessionist Irom the beginning. Therewere tew oi the lami'v left now. lieagain quoted from his reply to Gen. Sherman nis aeciarauon tha:. "come weal orwo, the fctate oi Georgia BhouM not,with his consent, abandon the Confederacy."

Senator llawley said he thoucht therecord woul l not be complete without afew quotations from the matter alreadypublished. He read from tbe Shermanpapers a communication from the Confed-erate Secretary of War to Gov. lirowu, di-

MR. bTEPHENri'S OPINION OF DAVIS.When in Atlanta I had possession of a rat

amount or captured letter Rod newspaperswhich enabled me t trace the current of pubticopinion in the bouth, which is as much an element of force a that ol muskets. I have 'nowbefore mean oriyn:il I. tter from Alexander HStephens, of tbe Southern Con-federacy, to Herschel V. Johnson, of almostequal f:t me, dated Crawford-viU- Ga.. April ft,Iv'A. This letter was printed in full in the Ap- -PKAL a few dsv 1 hnve nnvtsr sitoken orwritten uf Mr. Davis ks pla nly as Mr. Stophensdid in Apvil, alter he had leen nssoemtedW!th him three yo ff in the government of thoConfederacy. At tho time of uiy remark at theFrank P, Blair Post I was not in possession ofthip particulsr letter, but I knew of the opinionof Mr. Stephens, which were then shared Ufmany ot tbe most intelligent men of Georgia.

WRATH AGAINST THEI feci lor Brown and Vance a strong

personal rerpest. and believe their action duringthe war aud since has been iunly and fair; butthere was a correspondence between the Gov-ernors of States in wi'h the Richmond

about the "conscript law, the sus-pension of the writ of fta''a corpw and the use

j oi crate Troop, wan-a- , n wouiu oe

times." I never ha, any fee1 ing of bi'terne-toward the soldiers of the South wuo fought andtook all tbe chanc-- s of battle, because I knewthe influences which had made them believe theywere for their own country and for free-dom; but toward the original conspirators I d dtpi a wrath somewhat akin to that oi Mr.Stephens in April, lSo4, which he described asenough to burst 10,000 bottles. Vet, even as tothem, it that 1 nave been deceived or"bamboozled." I shall not hesitate to admit it,although it will take more denials than any Ihave yet heard or seen in print.

PERFIDY OFI have never teen personally acquainted with

Mr.Davis. because I wa in Califi ruia during thewh'de t eriod of hi administration of the WarDepartment but during the civil warana since his name has ben vred universally aswnon vinous with treason and the cause ol 'he rebellion, with its lifat of hundreds of thousands ofthe bravest youtu tt our land dead orwith the necessary wsste and devastation ofproperty, with an awful debt and with a Pensionroll of SnO.u 0.U01 at this very date. If lamprejudiced against him personally it arises fromthe fact that he more than any living hasbrought reproach on tbe Military Academy and

army, with which he was associated from124 to impairing the fair fame they hadearned for tidelity to their oa hs, to recoverwhich we have had to battle with an adverse pub-lic opinion ever since. While he was a edet andan army officer he must have had tak&a the

oth to "supt ort, maintain And defendthe constitution of the 1 n ted Statoa against allIter enemies and npposcrs andwuile Secretary of War and Scna:ur in Congressbe must taken aimilar oath yet he didconspire with others as early as January, 18. 1,after Mr. Lincoln was fair y andelected President of the United States, to destrovthe very government which he had sworn to de-fend, and he did set up another governmentnecessarily hostile to it, of which he became thehead, and did, while Provident of the SouthernConfederacy, change his S'&tel rirhts principles,the very Uoctrine on which be had justilied seces-sion from the I nited Suites and, then opposedMite sovereignty. Those are plain, palpablefa its, not likeiy to b forgottoo by tho presentgeneration or the next, if ever. I say, therefore,with full knowledge of the consequences, he en-rolled his name with tho? e of Arnold and Burr,instead of as he might have done with Washington and Lincoln. This is all 1 propu e to sayat this time. .Mean tire the govemnieat will, Itrust, to publish the records and

of the war, both Union and Conf c-

itrate, and I can await the res nit withcuiuih euro.

The Urand Army of the Renublie also, with its4900 posu and its old Union soldiers, willcontinue to meet, interchange thei thoughts, sine

patriotic sorcs and perpetuate the memoriesaud traditions of tbe war of the rebellion, quiteas important and quite as lasting as can be themore formal documentary b story.

No nation can a fiord to put hJelity anda par and hope to and that this

government means to survive and perpetuate itsinvaluable advantaves I have abundant faith.
