Your city superintendent found it neces
sary te devete considerable of his tlme te
the new building new rapidly approaching
completion, and hence was unable te visit
the remaining schools us eften as he would
liked te have visited thorn.
The completion of the new building will
enable the beard te open an additional

attendance in the schools or the primary
frade en James street and en Mary street,
would respectfully recemmend the open
ing of an additional primary In the new
building, and the transfer te It of the sur
plus In these two buildings. This will net
increase the teaching force, as Miss Wiley
lias been employed Blnce the opening of
the term as au assistant in the Mary street
building because of the overcrowded con

The James street intermediate and the
Mary street intermediate and the second

On motion of Mr. Warfel the matter
of placing the scholars In the new building
and the necessary transfers referred te in
the superintendent's repert was referred te

' Admissions may take place Inte any of

children of the age of six years shall, how
ever, only be admitted during the first

respectively."
On motion of Mr. Marshall the com
mittee en furniture and apparatus wes
authorized te place a gong and clock in the
new Chestnut street building.
Mr. McCemsey moved that us seen as
the new school building Is accepted from
the contractor, a sufficient amount of In
surance be placed en the building and also
en the furniture. The motion was
adopted.
Dr. Wlckersham moved that the finance
committee repbrt-at- the next meeting of
the beard the Itiiurance carried en the
school houses In the city. The motion was
adopted.
THE HCI.E AS TO niLLS.
Mr. Cochran, of the finance committee,
taali that the committee had decided te

vreguiftr meeting of the beard for the ap

with Jehn I. Hartmaa, Geerge A. Marshall
and James Marshall aa aaretles, and en his
motion the bend was approved.
Mr. Coebran also offered the following
resolution providing for a lean, which was
adopted.
.Resolved, That for the purpose of paying
the indebtedness contracted by order of
tula beard for the erection of the West
Chestnut school house, registered bends of
this beard te the amount of f 10,000 shall be
issued In denominations Of $500. The said
bends shall bear interest at the rate of four
per cent, par annum, from January I, I860,

cent, en all subjects of taxation for school
purposes Is hereby levied te pay the princi

ible and payable as ether school tax.
TUB KKW CHESTNUT BTRXKT BUILDING.
Mr. Reilly moved a reconsideration of
the motion adopted at the last meeting,
net te have a room en the third fleer of
the Chestnut street building. The motion
te reconsider was adopted.
Mr. Reilly said the ehlef reason why
there should be a fleer was that in Its
present, condition it was perilous te the
ceilings belew. Anether reason was that
If floored, it would be used as a storage
roem.and if left without a fleer, It presents
an unsightly condition.
Mr. Hegener said the building was net
strong enough te stand a fleer.
Mr. Jehnsen opposed the proposed fleer
because It would weaken the Joists. The
fleer can be strengthened, but he was sorry
that the building had te be braced before it
was taken off the contractor's hands. The
Joists in the building will scarcely bear
their own weight Te lay a new fleer Is
going te cost considerable, for It will re
quire Joists from one end of the building te
the ether. The celling can be .made per
fectly strong and safe at an expense of one
third of what It would cost te fleer it. The
school beard owns but one building new
that has the third-story floored. There
were no holes broken in tbe ceilings of
these ether buUdings and there should be
none In this.
Mr. McCemsey understood that for f S75
the contractor will find all the materials,
make a complete job, and guarantee the
third fleer te be as strong as any ether.
Mr. Warfel said that If the Joists In the
new building de net bear their own weight
the beard should knew It.
Mr. Jehnsen said the joists were 3 by 8
inches of hemlock, and the celling having
given way was an evidence of their weak
ness. Mr. Reynolds thought the question
should be divided se as te tint consider
the best means of making the celling
strong.
Dr. Wlckersham said It was a serious
question te consider. The beard should
be assured of the thorough safeness of the
tmtlillnir before children are nut Inte it.
The impression may have gene forth that
the building Is net safe. Te, ascertain
whether or net the building is safe he
moved te refer the matter te the property
committee, with instructions te have the
building examined by experts and te report
te the beard the conclusions of these
experts in writing, at a special meeting te
be held en next Thursday evening.
Mr. Jehnsen said that there was no
danger if the building was let alone.
Mr. Cochran thought the reference of the
matter te the committee te report at a
special meeting might create unnecessary
alarm and he moved te amend that the
property committee have the power te
have the necessary work done en the build
ing, at a cost net te exceed f500, but with
drew the amendment.
Dr. Raub said the impression has gene
out that the building is net safe and It was
but proper that the impression be re
moved by the report of a committee of
experts.
The motion of Dr. Wlckersham was
adopted by a unanimous vete.
Mr. Hegener reported that the sills of the
windows were flush with the wall and the
result of the dropping water was te keep
the bricks green. lie moved that the prop
erty committee be authorized te remedy
the defect. The motion was adopted.
ABOUT SCHOOL HOURS. ,,
Mr. Reynolds offered an amendment te
rule 70, in reference te the hours for
opening the schools In the winter months.
He held that they were opened tee early.
His araendment was that during the
months of December, January, February
and March the schools In the forenoon
shall beirin at 8:45 and clese at 11:45. in
stead of opening at 8:30 and closing at 11:30.

TIIE ACTION OF COUNCIM.
Opinions en the Matter or Granting
PrlvltesTOS te the Electric nail
way People.
The publication In the Intet.lieenckr of
tbe illegality of tbe resolution giving the
New Yerk syndicate the right te erect poles
and wires for the electrical railway caused
a sensation in the city.
It was discussed wherever men gathered
together te talk ever the hasty action of
councils.
A prominent member of councils was
seen this morning and he was asked his
opinion as te tbe legality of the resolution.
He held that It was legal and said the Joint
rule referred te did net cover the case.
If this resolution is Illegal, he continued,
then many ether resolutions passed by
council are illegal. He enumerated a
number of cases In which Important acts
of legislation were by resolutions passed
in the same manner as the one of Wednes
day evening. Among them he named the
building of the new market house, the
building oftbe new water works, and the
granter the use of the city streets for the
street railways, whose franchises have just
been sold te the New Yerk syndicate.
City Solicitor Brown was also seen. He is
of opinion that the resolution passed In the
manner it was Is net legal. The follow
ing act of assembly is quoted In support of
the position that an ordinance is required
te allow the erection of poles.

Christ Church Cheral Sectety Entertain
a Large Audience.
Christ Church Cheral society gave one
of tbelr delightful concerts last night
in the church en West King street.
Notwithstanding the threatening weather
early in the evening, a large and ap
preciative audience greeted the opening
chorus, "We Reck Away en the
Billows," followed by a sole, "Jesus
Lever of My Seul," by Wm. Powell. A
well rendered chorus of thirty-five voices
next rendered "When tbe Morning Sweetly
Breaking," after which tbe pregramme was
slightly varied by Miss OUle Burner's read
ing et " Ladv Beuntlfnl's Triumph." Miss
Stener Is a special favorite In this line
of work, and her. reading almost equals
these of professional elocutionists. A
chorus, "Balmy and Seft," was then
followed by a sole, "If the Waters
Could Speak te the Flowers" by Miss
Clara Krauskop, whose beautiful volce
delighted as well as surprised the audience.
The Cheral society followed with a chorus
entitled " Evening Hymn," after which
Miss Carrie Maurer, one of Christ church's
most premising readers, recited " A Little
Pilgrim," which, both because or the ex
cellence or the deUvery and the beauty or
the sentiment conveyed, touched all hearts.
" Fairy Seng" by the society and " Leve's
Sweet Seng "by Miss Ada lluber brought
the musical pregramme te a close. Miss
Huber is one or the Cheral's foremost
representatives and her singing last night
convinced all that her position as last en
the pregramme was a fitting close te an
excellent musical entertainment. The
exercises were concluded by a humorous
reading by Lutber D. Reed, after which
the audience was treated te refreshments
and then dismissed. These concerts are a
regular feature with the Cheral society.
and they will probably In the near future
give the public au opportunity te attend an
" Old Felks Concert " when a rare treat
may be expected.

LANCASTER,. PAm FRIDAY,
MONTANA AND THE ARMY.
Extracts Frem a Private Letter Frem
the Northwest.
FORT ASSINABOINE, MeU., Nev. 30.
Mentana Is a state, but the horizon Is Just
as boundless and the buffalo grass just as
sparse and short as when It was a territory.
Just as before, you can ride day after
day without meeting a human being or
seeing any live thlngblgger than the omni
present prairie deg. By the way, the
game Is se nearly exterminated that the
Legislature has prohibited for ten years the
killing of any kind of deer or fur-bearing
animal.
There have been no fires this fall, as the
dry summer did net allow the grass te
grew long enough te burn. The stock
wilt have a rough time of It this winter,
but they will net be killed off, as they once
were, for, If necessary, the railroad can
bring In baled hay.
One effect of the statehood of Mentana Is
te relieve us of much of the chasing of out
laws and horse thieves. The civil authori
ties are new mere Jealous of thelr authority
and are net constantly calling en the army.
The Indian question up bera appears te
be a dead Issue and there Is net much mere
reason for a garrison here than there would
be in Lancaster county; while It Is a
much mero expensive place te supply ene.
We have out here plenty or elbow mom,
however, and our Ideas can exrand for
hundreds of miles east, west and south,
and thousands or miles north. But
we can't expand bodily very much in these
directions, ourselves for ir we go the
army mule must go with us and he Is tee
busy hauling legs and stone. Practically
we only use a squure mile or our magnifi
cent domain.
There seems te be much general Interest
In the army and military matters gonerally
Just new. And thore have been a number
of changes in our cast-iron regulations
lately which lead us te bope that " old
fegylsm " is being shaken from Its podes pedes
talin the war department. The cause of
thone changes has been principally the
large percoutage of desortleus.
But whlle the changes nre all for the
better, they will net materially lessen the
number of doserters, for the real cause of
desertion lies in the independent and
wrong disposition of the meu we enllst.
They consider the oath as nothing, and
have always been accustomed te throwing
up a ob and trying something else when
ever they get tired. The peeple or the
country at large de net regard dosertlon as
dlsbouerablo, and It Is new very easy for a
man te beard a railroad train and be hun
dreds of mlles away bofero he is missed.
If thore ward were or.e hundred or five
hundred dollars instead of 930 for appre
hension of a dosertcr the evil would be
stepped at ence as the outsider gauges tbe
criminality of the otreuder by the reward
ettered.
If the man was allowed te purchase his
discharge at the end of ene year for S100, he
could wive this amount easily from his pay
and this rule with e large reward would
Boen Bcttle the matter. A large proportion
of doserters are repeaters who enllst, time
after time, when they happen te want te
soe a no w part of the country or find them
selves out of uioney.
They spend the winter comfortably, fit
themselves out with undorclethlng, shoes,
Ac, fatten up and strike out as civilians
in the spring. They are an army -of
tramps.
At this pest a large proportion of the re
cruits leave within n month of thelr arrival,
when they rocclve thelr first pay.

"An Amerlcan mau who had long llved
In Germany said te me: 'Yeu German
men leek out for yourselves first, secend
and third, and then for your wives.' That
is pretty true, and Is no doubt responsible
for the fact that our marriages are net se
happy as the marriages lu Amerlca. Ac
cording te my experlence the happiest mar
riages are tliose between Amerlcan men
and German women. Thore the husband
is surrounded by the dovetloti and un
selfishness of the German wife, who best
understands bow te innke a marriage true
an'A happy, and the wife gets a husband
who treats her with respect and dovotien. "
"The Amerlcan woman Is generally
beautiful, or at least understands hew te
make herself leek se. I have net seen such
beautiful women any whom clse old
women tee, w ith magnlilcent wulte hair.
The American girl knows hew te dress
herself tastefully and stylishly, She knows
hew te make the simnlest garment
' fetching' by means of a little buw
or reld or flower. All the hemage
A'hlch Is paid the American woman
iu private and publie life has, bowevor,
Its very shady slde. Te glve up your
seat te a woman in a hnrse car Is new and
then a trlfle uncomfortable Te wait te
have your baggage checked till a woman
who arrived atXer you has been attended te
Is In the highest dogree burdensome. Te be
delayed at a hotel table whlle women who
came late te dinner are being served Is al
most unbearable. There are also many
ethor occasions en which the man must
step aslde for the woman in America.
Custom demands lt.and custom In America
Is mightier than the law."

JEFFERSON DAVIS DIES.
THE PRESIDENT OFJIIB CONFEDERACY SIC
CUflBS AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS.
A Sketch of Ills Eventful Career The
Part lie Had In the Rebellion-Ills
Last Words te Ills Wife.
New Ont.iiANs, Dec 0. Joftersen Davis
died at 12:45 this morning.
Frem the beginning of his fatal Illness
Mr. Davis had Insisted that his case was
nearly or qulte hopeless, though dread of
pain or fear of denth nover appoared te
take the sllghtest held upon his spirits
which were brave and even buoyant from
the beginning of his attack. In valif did
the doctors strlve te laipress upon him
that his health was Improving. He steadily
Insisted that the re was no improvement,
but with Christian resignation he was con
tent te accept whatover Provldeuce had In
store for him. Only ence did he waver In
bis belief that his case showed no Improve
ment, and that was at an early hour yes
terday morning when he playfully re
marked te Mr. Pay ne: "I nm afraid I
shall be compelled te agroe with the doc
tors for ence and admit I am a little
better.''
All day long favornble symptoms con
tinued and late in the afternoon Mrs.
Davis sent such a encoring message te Mrs.
Stamps and Mr. and Mrs. Farrar that they
decided for the flist time stnee Mr, Davis
has been taken 111 te attend the French
opera. AtO o'clock last evening, without
any asslguable cause, Mr, Davis was seized
with congestlvo chills which soemed te
absolutely crush the vitality out of his
already enfeebled body. Se weak was Mr.
Davis that the violence of the assault seen
subsided for lack or vitality upon which
te prey. Frem that moment te the mo me mo
ment or his death the history of his case
was that of gradual sinking. At 7 o'clock
Mrs. Davis administered seme medicine,
but the patient declined te rocclve the
whele dose, fihe urged upon him the
necessity of taking the remalnder, but
putting it astde with the gcntlest of goe gee goe
tures he whUperetl : 'Tray, excuse me."
These were his last words. Gradually he
grew weaker and weaker, but nover for an
Instant soemed te lese consciousness.
At 12:15 he passed away, surrounded by
members of his family. It Is bolleved tbe
foundation of the ex-presldent'slast llluess
was malaria coinpllcuted with acute
bronchitis. Careful nursing mid skllled
medical attention had mastored the latter;
but It is supposed that u cengestive chill,
which was the Iminodiate cause of death,
was attrlbutable te the return of malaria.
Mayer Shakespeare has Issued a procla
mation announcing Mr. Davis' death, and
Inviting the presidents of various ex
changes and commercial bodles, and num
bers of prominent cltlzens te meet at City
hotel In order that preper arrangements
may be made for the funeral.
The mayor says : "II Is wlth'deepeat ro re ro
irret that I anneunce te the people of New
Orleans the departure from this llfe of
Mr. Davis. He needs no ouiegy rrem me.
His life Is history and bis moinery Is en
shrined in the heart of overy man, wemau
and child In this bread Seuth. We all
loved him and we all ewe him' honor and
roveronco."
Messages have received from Atlanta,
llllexl, Memphis, Leuisville, and many
ethor points, all expressive of respect for
the dead and of sympathy for Mrs. Davis
In her affliction.
The lllness of Mr. Davis bad been
watched with deep anxiety here, and ar
rangements had been made te announce
his death by the ringing or lire bells.
Werd wbs therefore telephoned te the
Central station at I2:W) this morning, and
lu a few nilnutes the mournful notes of tbe
bells conveyed the Intelligence or the death
te tbe city. Many peeple gathered ut the
hotels, and at 3 o'clock hundreds were dis
cussing the event.
A 8KETCU Or UIS CAUKHIt.
Jefforsen Davis was bem June 3, IH08,
In Hardin (new Larue) county, Kentucky.
Ills ancestors were of pure English stock.
Ou both sides they served In the war for
American indopeudenco, his futher,8amuel
Davis, winning seme distinction lu the
mounted troop of Georgia. Of his two sons
JeUersen early became a soldler, while
Jeseph, a man or talent, scarcely, If at all,
inferior, gained n local success as lawyer
and planter In Misslsslpdl.
Soen after tbe birth of Jeffersen, Samuel
Davis remeved te Mississippi, Jeffersen
entered Transylvania college. Kentucky.
Presldent Menreo appointed him a cadet ut
West Point, and he graduated in 1824. Iu
1831 Black Hawk entered ou his famous
campaign, and Joflerson Davis was at ouce
soutte muster in and organize recruits.
Early in 1833 Lleut. Davis was transferred
from bis olace in Company B, First United
States infantry, and promoted te a first
lieutenancy in the First United States dra
goons, of which command be was seen
made adjutant. In this osltleu he tuadu a
very brilliant record, In soveral active
campaigns against the Comaticbes, Paw
nee and ether Indians.
He then married a daughter of General
afterwards Presldent, Zachary Tayler
The general was strongly opjesod te the
match but when after the battle of Uuena
Vista he found Davis badly wounded he
exclaimed:
"Colonel, veu have savctl inociey ueu
bless you I When Delly would llae you,
she was a hotter judge of u man than I
was.
June 30, 183!j, Lleut. Davis reslgncd Ids
commission and located lu Mississippi as a
cotton planter.
In 1815 he was elected a representative In
Congress. Mr. Davis took au active part In
the discussions en the tariff, the Oregon
boundary issue, the Mexican Imbroglio,
and the slavery question, but his speevhes
at that tlme lndicate u position fur mero
moderate than was afterwards attributed
te him. It is worth noting as curious mat
ter of history (hat lu the heated discus
sions regarding Texas the threats of dis
union came largely rrem thu extreme
Northern men, whlle the most elequent
eulogies upcu the union came from the
Seuth. In a spoech en the Oregon question,
reuruarye, ieiu, ir. jjaviawiiui
" Frem sire te seu has descended the
love of union in our hearts, as in our his
tory are mingled the names of Concord and
Camden, of Yorktewu aud Saratoga, of
Moullrieand Plattsburg, or Chlppewaand
Erie, of New Orleans aud Burker Hill.

te the common glory or our common coun
try; and whero Is the Southern man who
would wish that that monument were less
by one of the Northern names that consti
tute the mass?"
The First regiment of Mississippi volun velun volun
teors enrolled for the Mexican war elected
him their colonel. He resigned at ence,
ovorteok his regiment at New Orleans,
organized and drilled it te a high state of
efficiency, and early In September was en
the Rie Urande, In the armjajaf his father-in-law,
Gen. Zacharay TaylerT A few days
later he bore a coiitplcueus part In tbe siege
and storming or Monterey. Five months
after this he greatly distinguished hlmseir
In the battle or Buena Vista, February 23,
1S47, holding his ground with his regiment
against an Itnmensly superior force and
remaining in the saddle though severely
weunded. At the expiration of his term
of enlistment he was appointed by Presi
dent Polk brigadler general of volunteers,
but declined te receive tbe commission en
the ground thst the constitution reserves
te the state the appointment of officers of
the mllltla.
In August, 1817, the governor of Missis
sippi appointed him a United States
senator le fill a vacancy; the Legis
lature In 1848 re-e!octed him te
complete the term, and In 1850 re
elected him for a full term, In the Senate
he was msde chairman of the committee
en military affairs, and took prominent
parts In debates en slavery and state rights.
In 1851 he resigned his seat te accept the
Democralle nomination for governor of
Mlaslsslsslppl, but was beaten by 099 votes.
March 4, 185.1, President Franklin Pierce
named Cel. Jeffersen Davis as secretary of
war. His administration of the war de
partment was marked by ability and
onergy, and many old officers testily that
of all secretaries In their time Cel. Davis
was the most popular.
At his retirement from the cabinet in
March, 1837, the Legislature of Mississippi
had elected him United States senater for
for the term te clese March 4, 1803. He
plunged at ence Inte the heated dobatesef
the time, maintaining the oxtremo south
ern vlew, and with an ability and courtesy
which elicited warm praise even from bis
fees. He led the se-called " Locompten
party" lu Congress In opposition te Sena Sena
eor Douglass, and in dobate with the lntter
proneunuou me ence ceiouraieu querics
and prepositions which drew from the
Illinois senator his famous theory as te
the right el a territorial Legislature te adept
" unfrlendly legislation" against slavery.
and his creod.ef the "Douglass Democrats."
In the first Domecratla con ventlpn or I860
Mr. Davis received seme votes, Benjamin
F. Butler voting for him 57 times. In the
subsequent election the twoNerthern candi
dates rocelved all the votes of the Northern
states, save a mere handful, less than 100,
000, whlle Brockenrldge and Bell recelved
the almost solid vete of the Seuthern states
Seuth Carolina led off In secession ; Mis
slssipul seen followed.
With only two or three exceptions the
doparture of Seuthern statesmen rs thelr
states scocded was singularly calm and
dignified. On the 21st of January, 1801.
the senators from Flerida, Alabama and
Mississippi withdrew. Mr. Blalne pralsed
'the manner of Senater Davis, adding;
" Ne man gave up mero than Mr. Davis
in Joining the revolt against the Union.
In his farewell address te the Sen
ate thore was a tone of moderutlon and
dignity net unmixed with regretful and,
tnnder emotions." Mississippi had ap
pointed hlmcoinmander-ln-chler of all her
forces, with the rank of major general.
Ou the 4th of February, lwil, delegates
from soveral states convened in Ment-
Jfoniery, Ala., and ndopted a constitution
or the Confederate states. On the 0th the
convention unanimously elected Jefforsen
Davis president.
Commissioners were sent te Washington.
In vain did President Lincoln proclaim
that he "certainly had no desire and be
lieved he had no authority te interfere
with slavery." In vain did President
Davis reiterate that he longed te avoid the
effusion of bleed. May 20, the Confederate
fevernment was transferred te Richmond,
lisjourney was a continued ovation ; his
speeches were cblefly exhortations te
unity and variations of the clause
In his first message viz., "All we ask. Is
that these who never held pewer ever us
shall net attempt our subjugation by
arms."
But the Congress had already previded
for "a vigorous prosecution of the war"
that is, for a lean of $50,000,000 at 8 nor
cent,, In addition te n previous lean of f 15,
000,000, aud the creation of an army which
"might, lu the dlscrotleu or the presldent,
be Increased te 100,000 nieiil" In a sur
prisingly short time 00,000 nien were or
ganized in Virginia, and fifteen vossels
commissioned as urlvatoera.
The victory of Bull Run nroduced great
exultation In the Seuth, out appears te
have had a decidedly sebering effect upon
Presldent Davis and cabinet. It may new
be considered proved that he was for ag ag
grcssive action Immediately after the bat bat
tle. but yielded te the nd verse opinions of
Johnsten and Beauregard, and thereafter,
with rare exceptions, Insisted upon a de
fensive policy.
In November, 1B0I, a general olectlon
was held, and President Davis and Vice
President Stephens were ro-elccted for the
full term or six years. February 18, HOi,
the first Congress under the permanent
constitution assembled in Richmond ; en
the 22d, President Davis was inaugurated.
II e assented, somewhat reluctantly,
te a conscription law, which was
among the first acts passed by the Coil Ceil
gross. A little later the habeas corpus
was suspended in a district ten miles
around Richmond, and a military police
organized under Gen. Wlnder. The sum
mer closed favorably te the Confederates.
In April, 1803, he issued a rather exulting
address, The Confederacy was then at Its
maximum as a mllitaiy power. The dis
asters of that summer trem Gettysburg te
Ylcksburc need net be detailed.
The abilities of Jeffersen Davis shone
conspicuously as disasters thickened. A
commlttee of Investigation entered upon
Its work in a hostile spirit, and ended by
indorsing almost every ene of the presi
dent's acts. All the rest of the year pre pre
sents a record of dosperato struggle
against the lnovltable ; every .victory
was barren, every defeat Irremediable.
On the 2d of April, 1805, in his pew iu St.
Paul's church, Richmond. Presldent Davis
rocelved the dispatch from Gen. Loe, an
nouncing his complete discomfiture. At 8
p. IP. the presldent. cabinet and otber oli: eli:
clals left for Danville, at which point Presi
dent Davis lssued his last state paper. A
week later he baited at Charlette, whero he
first learned that f 100,000 reward had been
olfered for his capture as an instigator of
the assassination or Prosideut Lincoln. All
men new admit that tbe charge was false.
Anotber week found him n fugitive In
the forests of Ooercla. with his wife and a
few devoted adherents. Op tbe 10th of
May. he was captured near Irwinsvllle,
Ga.,'hy a body of cavatav under Lieut. Cel.
Prltchard. "Mr. Davis," says ene of bis
captors, " had en when urrested an ordi
nary suit, with a very long raglan overcoat
and a shawl en his shoulders." In the
dim light of morning he was at first taken
for a woman, hence the story se widely
published. He was conveyed at ence te
Fortress Menree, te remain a captive for
two years.
His eldest and most Inveterate oppo
nents were first te Beften ; the Abolition
ists asked clemency, and in May, 1807, be
fore the Uuited States circuit court at Rich
mond, Herace Greeley and Gerrltt Smith
folned with many Seuthern men In sinn
ing; his ball bend. He had been formally.
inuicieu ier treason; uui, iu iecumuer.
18C8, by the same court, a nolle presequi
was entered. He went te Europe for a
short time, aud then took up his residence
in Memphis as president of an insurance
company. He seen retired te private life,
and a bequest by a Southern lady gave him
a lovely home at Beauvetr, Miss., en the
shore of the gulf.
