Will tlio Telegraph take the pains
to furnish the people with a finan
cial statement before the election,
and do this without jugglin'; the
figure*?
Our contemporary is in close
touch with the administration which
has the books and therefore in a
position to do this.
Itut If it 'Undertakes such a state
ment, please do not try to show a
large balance -in favor of the city
before the election and then show a
large deficit afterward.
Let the Telegraph tell how much
It costs to run the city per capita
and compare it with other cities.
Surely it can raise no objection to
doing this.

Tho ring has shown the white
feather. It is customary for the
party In power to rail their conven
tion first, outline their platform and
name their ticket. They have bro
ken every precedent and fixed the
date of the convention at the last
possible moment the candidates can
be named to got their names on the
ticket.
The administration forces dread
the Issue. They are afraid to show
their hand. They have shown the
white feather early in the game.
People of Hluefleld have gotten
tired of ring rule. The present offi
cials will be relegated after the next
election. With all their illegal votes
they will lie unable to muster
enough to elect their ticket.
Tho people have become tirc* 1 of
a city council dominated by a few
Interests. They are tired of a sj*t
of men who take a stand at one
meeting and reverse themselves at
the next.

(From Carl Sehurz's “The South At
tor the War." In McClure's.)
The capture of Jefferson Davis
was a very serious thing, and it was
regarded by not a few cool-headed
and long-sighted men as a very un
fortunate one. It has become well
known that President Lincoln
wished that the downfall of the Con
federacy would not deliver th** chief
or the Confederacy into his hands.
A Lincoln anecdote current at the
time seemed to have good authority
I ehind it. After Lee's surrender a
friend asked Mr. Lincoln whether
h.* did not think it would be best to
I t Jefferson Davis get out of tin*
country Lincoln answered by tell
ing a story of a Methodist preacher
out west, a strict temperance man.
who was offered a glass of water
with a dash of brandy in it, and
who replied that he would not ob
ject to a drop of something strong
In his drink if that drop could be
put in “unbeknownst’’ to himself.
Lincoln no doubt saw clearly that
the capture of Jefferson Davis would
burden the government with a most
embarrassing dilemma. The public
voice would Insist upon the chief of
the rebellion being tried and pun
ished for treason. Now, his crime
of treason had been committed in
the south. A trial for treason by a
regular tribunal in the south would
h * a mere farce, for it seemed a
foregone conclusion that no jury in
the south could be found that would
pronounce Jefferson Davis or any of
the heads of the rebellion guilty of
treason. A trial by a military com
mission might result in a verdict of
guilty; but resort to a military trib
unal for the trial of a political of
fense after the close of the war
•night have looked like a stretch of
arbitrary power befitting an old
world despotism, rather than this
new world republic.
