Charkaiou Xt:w*and Courier as to partus and jiolities in the State and especially j as to his alleged connection with the , trano's as disclosed in the recent Parker trial. The (Jowrnor states that lie willj. not volunteer a denial of such a charge, and that self respect required him to wait until such a charge was put in a i 0 form which would enable him to meet; it. lie, however, in answer .to a ques- * lion of the reporter gives the charge an 1 eVuj'hatic and uiujuaiilied denial, lie .-ays; "! say to you that the statement to < which you allude is false in every actual p 1 uilKP HI' ! 1 Ol" CWlltini'.UH"' .^vkwv meaning. 1 not only never had anyjt pa. tor loUin, or knowledge of, such ai transaction, but 1 never in auy way 1 01 (U ;l'"| an^ ^amic^r in- | you etui frame a broader or more cx- ( piicit denial of everything connected ? .villi the coupon busiuess I will adopt it. i t have no knowledge of it whatever, < except what the public have through the investigations of last winter and the reeent trial.

Jie states that it is unpleasant and dls-1 disgusting to have his name connected: witli such charges, but that nofair-j. minded man should be at looted hy them ;, until they assume such shape that he! could answer liiem. Willi regard to the proMfciuiwu of corrupt ollicials, the f (jlovernor says. 'I am in iavoi* of holding every public ollicer i,o a ngul accountability, and if iie violaics the iaw I am in favor of; Ilia puniohuieut. f shall do my w hole,* duty in every such c;ise.

I eon less, however, that | *i am not so much interested in what i> ( past and gone as 1 am in what is pies- ' ent and coming. JtwiH, 1 think, task j all our energies to the utmost to stop up i i the open leaks, and staunch the run- ( ning wounds. Another thing; when prosecutions are started, if they are to ' coin maud the public confidence, they 1 must oe so conducted as to give evidence thai the motive actuating the rtiate is the public good. The moment they seem to oe used as political machines iliey wid be worse than useless. Where- : ever I see or shall be shown an opportunity to aid in punishing crime or preventing crime 1 shall do my duty, and 1 venture now to say that I shall not be Lite lirsi to cr> 'Hold, enough !' Time wili show whether 1 or others win nnu prudential reasons tor dealing gently Willi public oti'ehders. In the meantime malicious rumors ami tales tliat till .lie air will not disturb me. lie stated that his powers and duties in this particular had been largely overestimated; as he had no voice in the actual prosecution of offenders, and could only like any other citizen bring i1 the evidence before ti.~' solicitors ami grand juries, but that to the full extent of his powers, he would enforce the * law. 1 r As to the Solomon Bank failure and 1 the (onsecjucul loss to the State he dis- 1 claimed any responsibility. The do- 1 posits of the Bank at one time amounted to a million of dollars, and it had 1 !? 'ii his policy to reduce the State de- ' posits to fiiuO.Wi, which amount had J been fixed by the Board,.and was the : usual amount during the past wiuttr. The failure of the Bank was an unforeseen calamity. The Governor is hopeful as to the future of good government in the State, ' and relics as well upon the support of . die thinking Republicans, as of tiie i Conservatives, lie says: 1 "Tliere are carpers, malcontents, re- ' aellormry politicians among the Con- ^ servatives and the Conservative pnss, j who seem seem to think it wise to seek to discredit me and niy work, but 1 am ] satisfied their 'influence is limited as their numher is small. There are do/.- , ens of letters lying on this table from!, the best and most trusted men of this ^ State deprecating such a course, and as- , suring uiv of thfir ardent and constant support. At any rate their course will j not a fleet u:e." ' The (lovt-rnor states that his course j has njot the cordial endorsement of the i authorities at Washington, and that the 1 only fear entertained there is, that | there was not wisdom enough in the Slate to continue the good work of reform. With regard to the Tax-Bill he j states that his views have not changed and that owing to the failure of the Hank and Trust Company, it would he necessary tiiat the Legislature should ( briu;; in a new bill. The course of Governor Chamberlain, we think, commends itself to the cor1 j dial support of all the friends of good j government in the Stale, and we regret j to see that he ha? been made the subject) | of repeated attacks at the hands of the Conservative press. Such assaults, to say the least of it, are unwise and im*| politic and give aid and comfort to thosel enemies of good government who arel( seeking to advance their own selfish! ends Jl>v obstructing the cause of reform. They are also in violation of those pledges of .'.vmpathy and co-operation, which were everywhere extended to the j Governor upon his entrance into office. j !t is worse than folly to be seeking now to unearth the records of past adininis-i tr:>iions to find some charge against an 1 iiiiih ol'liciaMvho is li^htin^ our battles! ami making common cause with usj. jtgainst the puhlie enemy.

This would lie folly supreme. Let us stand by the Governor as long as j lie stands by us.

The New York "J Tribune, while commending the q thoughtful courtesy of Mr. Davis, saysi j, "it is better for all concerned that we'ili should have this letter (revoking his J1' acceptance of the invitation to address! 1 i the society,) instead of an address from ai the President of the late Confederacy." j tl The Herald thinks that he could not J Li i have done otherwise than to decline, at I the same time that he axpccted too] ! much in supposing that all the fools in j j,, the West were dead, and that his ad-1 ci I dress would have excited no opposition. ':s It pays liim the compliment of saying; ^ "no man in the country was betterLj I qualified for the task, and the letter!(J shows that the interests of the West and ii the Southwest would have been bene- si . filed by the full expression of his views. a; i Both sections must gain by promoting T _ mutual confidence and cointelligence, ti : and in calling attention to this fact Mr. u > Davis has done much toward tlio res to-! |; ration of a better feeling, and, while wei n . regre? that he is not to have the oppor- ? | tunity to make the address that he had|u !|contemplared, we are pleased that thejri occasion of the invitation was turned to i such excellent account.

Had hejii gone to Winnebago, the probability isi 1? he would have made a very sensible ad-J a . dress, and told his hearers a great many i things tney did not know before." r The JS'cto York Sun says: v '' "The letter which we published yes-jr -jtcrday from Jefi'erson Davis to the Win-ic II neba-jro C'ountv Airricultural .Society isjti j marked by dignity, intelligence, and aji sentiment of patriotism* It does credit; li I to its author; and without containing a|<l . single word in condemnation of thosejv . who have violently opposed and pre-jc I vented his contemplated visit to Illinois, i t ' | it leaves thorn in an unenviable position, j c II We take pleasure in saying these words n I on such an occasion. 4 I - We are glad that Mr..
