Jiff. Davis The Alleged riot lor Hi
Rescue.
The Southern account of the alleged plot to
rescue Jeff. Davis is given by tlie Richmoad En
quirer as follow;
"The 'Rebel' sojourners at O'.d Point Camfbrt
most of whom bave been encaged there iu the
United States Ordnance Department were
startled and surprised on Sunday morning by
the promulgation ot an order requiring them to
leave ibe piace. tine hour was given them to
depart; and, as no steamer was at band, they
passed the uiprht at llamplon, and yesterday
morning 'run the gauntlet' to the wharf at Old
Pou.t, and took the steamer to Richmond. They
numbered between forty and fifty men, many of
whom lelt their baacuge behind in their hurry.
The airent ot the National Express and Trans
portation Company, located at the Point, being
in the 'Rebel' category, unable to bring off his
office property, turned over his keys and the con
tents of the office generally to the acent of the
Adams Express Company who happeued to be a
Northern man.
"The reason assigned for this summary order
was a report that 'a plot was in progress to res
cue Mr. Davis. Upon what amount of truth
this report was based we have no means of
ascertaining, as the whole procedure was in
accordance with an order from the War Depart
ment at Washington, which, it is to be pre
sumed, acted upon secret evidence, the particu
lars of which it has not yet thought proper to
divulge. In pursuance of the details of the
order, the guard on duty at and around the fort
was trebled, and the bridges over tho moat were
drawn. The 'exiles' who reached the city last
night report that the restiictions upon the privi
leges of Mr. Davis had been increased, and that
now he was not even permitted to speak to the
lieutenant of the guard placed over him.
"It seems that the alleged plot to rescue Mr.
Davis has been suspected for some days past,
and the sentries had beeu increased, and a strict
surveillance instituted throughout the fortress
and its environs. No vessel arrived without
being searched; not even a canoe or a fishing
smack was permitted to touch the shore with
out being met and inspected by a military guard;
while dining the night an armed vessel has been
put on patrol duty in the Roads in front of the
fortress. Every' defensive preparation neces
sary to anticipate uud repel a formidable assault
bas been made."
The Death of Captain Rnfus Choate.
t?Hufus Choate, only son of the late Hon. Itufus
Choate, died at Dorchester on the 15th instant.
When our civil war broke out Mr. Choate was
in the practice of the law in this city, having,
for a young man )ust starting In bis profession,
a large clientage. Everything looked prosper
ously for hira. There was every inducement
selfishly speaking for him to remain at home.
But the echoes from Sumter had scarcely ceased
before he had offered his services to the Govern
ment" lor the war."
lie was determined, to use his own language,
'to see the thing throuah." and lor this reason,
among others, joined the 2d Massachusetts Regi
ment, w bich was, we believe, the first in the
country organized for that length of time. Mr.
Choate remained w ith hi rcgiiueut till the au
tumn of 1H62, when the disease which attaoked
him shortly after he joined tho army compelled
lim to resign his commission.
' Hw sutieiing.H during the last four years have
been almost uninterrupted and almost incredible.
Yet during the whole he showed the same
sweetness of temper, the 6ame patience, the
same uncompluininKue;s that had always char
acterized him, "And yet they ea.y I suffer,"
said he, when the horrors ol Audersoaville were
read to him.
The testimony of hie brother officers is unani
mous as to his wit, his humor, and his uutailing
humanity. When he retimed his commission
one of them wrote, "Choate has left, and with
him goes the life of the regiment. No more fun
now, but simple duty." At the battle of Cedar
Mountain he and thiee other ollicers of tho sane
regiment were so ill that none but themselves
thought of their takintr pnrt in the impending
conflict. Not so they, however. They were
helped or carried on to the field. One present
wrote: "All our officers behaved nobly. Those
who ought to bave stayed away wouldn't.
Goodwin, Cary, Choate, and Stephen Perkins
were all quite 111, but would not stay away from
the fltrht. Choate is the onlv one of the four not
killed It was splend.d to 6oe those sick fellows
walk right up into that shower oi bullets, as if
they were so much rain."
The reveille has now sounded for the last of
the noble four, and he has gone to join his com
rades and answer to his name when the roll is
tfiillt'd. Jioston Traveller,

fttcphcaa r abllcatlona and Bcnt
Eveatit Tn O'Maaony Dlflsloa-rat
Activity Imparted by Stephen' In
daratmeat The Two Hyatemit in Fall
Blunt.
The Fenian Senate met yesterday afternoon at
their v" 'quarters. No. 734 Broadway. The
papet it nat they mot to try the O'Mahony
Senators (Sinnott, Mcany, and Mnllea); but it is
a graver cause tVat summons them lrom their
ulhtunt abodes. The question of holding a Con
gress to organize thch division as O'Mahony has
his seems the principal question pending actisn.
The teleeraphic report from Buffalo regarding
this matter is piemature and unauthentic. The
question bas not been acted upon as to place or
time, or in any of its bearings. It will be heard
lrom during the coming days.
The Stcphens-Malionv publications will of
of course come up. The.e publications the
Senators d not regard m "a decision" in auy
lieht, even if genuine. They say the Senatorial
division of Pcnianitmi comprises two-thirds of
tho working brotherhood tnfonghout the coun
try, and that Stephens knows better than to
wipe that body oil In the gladiatorial parlance
of "cutting and backing, ' which appears in the
alleged letter of the 22d December.
THE ?FA10HS JtCKNOWLEPriB STEPHENS, BUT RE
rciHATK THE LFTTFRS TnEY KXrEJT M'EI'HENS
TO "ult'KEJl" ND TC11N TO THEtf.
The epithets "wretches," "traitorV "dogs,"
etc., applied to ta; three hundred theusand
w orkers as "nueli as much as to the Sena'.ors (for
the Si natnnal rank and tile are immeasurably
more radical nnti-O'Aiahony men than Michae.l
Scanlnv, or any other Honator), shut off tlm
letter in any event they claim from the charac
ter of "ajmipnient in the case,"' and mark it as
"a blind ebullition of passion worihy of no re
spect, wherever It comes Irom." Thry, therefore,
repudiate this document in into, and it is not
expected lo receive a moment's attention in their
councils.
Still, tliy do not pretend to repudiate 8to
pheus ami his 1. R. C, for the,y still lad to realize
that such sentiments ever proceeded from him,
and they do not tax him with them. Some few
concede that O'Mahony, having bis car as Head
Centre, tray buve startled him with stories of
"the Senate's ttiving up Ireland for Canada," de
serting his I. It. 11., etc., and by havinur further
liound himself to a reform of his "drag chain
policy," as it is termed by Stephens; and to give
cordial aid bereaiter may have evoked from
Stephens the appointment as his financial agent
here.
In that cae they say they are content to let
Stephens eujov his pre.-tigc, satisfied, they say,
that "if he does not die of the dose, he will
surely sicken in quick time," and turn gladly to
V'C sterling power of non-O'Jiahonyisuii, which,
they say, will ever be ready to lend their stronc
hmid to the Irish republican work. But the
Senators from far and near protest, in tho most
solemn manner, that thoy "could never again
touch O'Jluhony and his establishment with a
forty foot pole."
THE BENAT01UAL DIVISION TO SOUND THE TOCSIN
HINIiLE-ItANDED, AND "HAD OFF .o'.UAHOMV"
HEltE AND IN IRELAND.
The coiirce, then, on the assumption of
Stephens' recognition of O'Mahony, seems to lav
on their own account for the tmio being. And
in this position they would assuredly be on tho
outride track, and O'Muhony's party, if in rap
port with the 1. 11. B., would have a decided ad
vantage. It is only as part of a eeneral system
of which tho Irish, movement will be the chief
central figure that an American body can claim
consideration from Fenians.
Tho Senatorial party, with their dash, genius,
and military talent, may, it is true, come to a
sprightlier culmination, and it the tocsin cry
Hounds, and the work is followed up well against
tho ied ccats anywhere, they will engross public
Attention and sympathy here and head off the
O'Jlahony system, and become a more available
body. Then, they assume, Stephens would
gladly smile, fraternally upon them, and, for the
rest, tho 1. It. 15. would see to it that such pow
erful co-operators should not be ostracized and
"backed off" lor the sae of any man or estab
lishment. "With hopes like these" do the noble Romans
cheer themselves, and hence they are working
hiariily for the good day coming. For the pre
sent, however, and as lche as they seem to rest
tinder the ban ol Stephens, they are literally
destined to have up-hill work of it.
THE EESSICM YESTERDAY,
The proceedings of the Senate yesterday were
mostly ot a preliminary character, notbine of
public interest havine transpired. To-day they
will meet again, and be in better working order.
The manifestations lrom the country are coming
in fast in the shape of remittances and docu
ments of endorsement. These latter, however,
have now acquired a sameness in tho public
prints, and it is only acts, not words, that will
command any attention.
the o'mahonv division vitalitv imparted by
stephens' letter.
This division of the F. B. manifests the greatest
possible activity and cheer at present. Collectors
wiih their books swarm the city, canvassers are
all through the country, organizers ac every
where at work, and on all sides there is evidence
of success and vitality, owing, no doubt, to the
assurance lrom Stephens that the old "drag
chain policy" was forsworn at last, and that
"John" had given assurance of pulling bravely
bereaiter in the eomwon Uaruces.
now the work goes bravely on endorsements
and BCrrORT ov tub workers.
The effect of the whole proceedings through
the country were not at first very encouraging.
But when Stephens' commission was received
and communicated by O'Mahony to the circles,
many a waverer took better heart, and the
O'Mahony mercury quickly rose up above zero
again. At present there is great devotion mani
fested towards O'Mahony by his followers, and
thousands of true patriots in the city and country
are pulling strongly aud all together lor the
Irihh Republican brotherhood uuder his manage
ment. Ihe most exieent now have little fears that
there will be auy rove sion or detention of any
tunds from the I. R. B., for the sharp eye kept
upon each other by either manaeement will pre
clude bhufmng and Insure directness and faith
fulness all around. The O'Mahonyitos have
literally buckled on the armor, and are tipect
imr to do a grand work now by the side of "the
men in the gap" lor the promotion of the com
mon object.
O'Mahony will mott probably strain every
nerve to sustain the home body; in tact, he
must from motives of 6cif preservation, if nothing
elbe; for a return ol blackness or coldness to
wards the home men might evoke at any mo
menttrom Stephens a revocation oi his decree
ot approval, aud that would leave the loruincs
of the house of O'Mahony In the poorest pliaht
imnginable, while the rival division will "be
watching tor every chance to instal themselves

seems to be a necessary pnssport to the hearts

31 R S. GRIND E R.
rn prisoner's owDmotf.
The rittsburg Commercial of last evening con
tains the following:
Report of ihe Medical OommiMion. Harris
bubo, January 17. The medical commiwioners
appointed by Secretary of State Sliter, consisting
of Doctors John Cnrwin, of the State Lunatio
Asylum at Harrieburtr, J. R. Reed, of the DiT
mont Hospital, and James 8. Kini, of Pittsburg,
for the purpose of inquiring 'into the mental
soundness ol the unfortunate Martha Grinder,
tinder sentence of death for poisoning Mrs.
Mary Carnthers, have transmitted a report by
telegraph from Pittsburg to the Secretary of the
Commonwealth. The commissioners give a full
account of their interview with the prisooer.and
unanimously agree that she is not even tainted
with insanity. Secretary Slifcr has decided, in
view of this tact, not to Interfere with the de
cision of the Court. No respite will be eranted,
aud, therefore, the execution mnst take flace
on Friday.
AN AFFECTING INTERVIEW.
George Grinder, the husband of the prisoner,
was arrested some time alter his wife lor sup
posed romplicity in the murder of Miss Jane
litichannn, but nothing was produced to crimi
nate him, and the Court ordered his discharge
Since that time ho has visited his wretched
wife in her cell several times, and their inter
views have been of an ordinary character.
Yesterday another interview was allowed them,
that was, however, particularly affecting. The
prisoner had been informed tuat all hope of
a respite was past, aud when she met
her husband, the thought of being at last
lorced to bid him a long fare ell seemed to
flash across her mind, and as she related to
him the painful intelligence, she completely
broke down, and for some time could not be
restored. Iler wholo nervous system gave way.
She sobbed as though her heart would break.
She con'iuucd to be hysterical lor a considerable
time, and so affected her husband that he too
gave way to his lecliniss and the unhappv pair
mingled their tears together. Warden White,
w ho was present at the time, relates the facts as
trying to the leelinus of nny human being. He
saw that the presence of the husband was likely
io render his prisoner more helpless aud feeble
than ever, and he accordingly ended the inter
view as soon as possible. When Mr. Grinder
lelt the jail he went out like one utterly broken
in spirit and inconsolable.
11RP. GRINDER'S SPIRITUAL CONDITION.
The prisoner is fortunate in having secured for
ber fpiiltual adviser the Rev. Dr. Holmes, of
the Melhooist Episcopal Church, a man of deep
piety, whose sympathizing nature finds ample
vent in unremitting attentions to her future aud
eternnl weliarc. Since her conviction he has
bem regular in his visits to the cell of tho con
demned one. Mrs. Grinder has usually shown
an adequate appreciation for the kindness thus
manifested in her behalf, and 6ince the commis
sion closed its labors, she has felt a stronger
desire than ever for the prayers other pastor.
Yesterday, she requested that he might be sent
to see her in the evening. We unueMand that
her wishes were complied with, and that tne un
fortunate woman gave unmistakable tokens of
heartfelt contrition.
WIIL THE PRISONER CONFESS?
In view of this fact It has been suggested that
Mrs. Grinder will, probably, make a fuli confes
sion of her crime. The evidence produced at
the trial was so clearlv against her that no one
wro rer.ds it over with care can entertain any
doubts about her guilt. If she is really preparing,
then, for the solemn scene flt a judgment bar
more terrible than any here below, lot us hope
that tho first step towards that end will be an ac
knowledgment of her offense against both human
and divine laws. We were told, last night, that
her condition had considerably Improved, but
we could not discover any reliable facts concern
ing her confession, which, we believe, has not
yet bi en made.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION.
Sheriff Stewart, upon learning the result of
the Commissioners' visit to tho ja'l, concluded,
without further delay, all thenecessary arrange
ments lor carrying out the sentence of the la v.
w-morrow. The scaffold upon which Marschall
and Frecke were executed still remains standing
in tho jail yaid, with the fatal tvap-door down,
just as it was left last Friday a'ternoon, at the
close ot the terrible scene which took place at
that time. This same scaffold will be used at
the execution to-morrow, and either one of the
hempen cords which strangled the wretched
Boyd's Hill murderers be placed about the neck
of the modern Borgia.
The Sheriff' has issued a limited number of
passes to witness the fate of the prisoner. But
the demand for them is exceedingly great, even
females of respectable families having expressed
a desire to be present on the occasion. The sight
will, in all probability, be unusually fearful.
The physical condition of the prisoner is such as
to warraiit the belief that she will have to be
cniried to the scaffold a scene almost too terri
ble to contemplate and without the power oi
standing on her feet, be. launched into eternity.
It w ill be seen by the special teleeram of our
Harrisburg correspondent that the report of the
medical commission was received at the office of
the Hon. Eli Sliler, Secretary of State, yesterday
aifernoon, and that that official has decided, in
view of the opinion of the commission, that no
respite shall be granted.
