Paul Bagley, who has interested hiniself in procuring a pardon for Jeff. Da vis, has givenia account of his efforts aind rebuffs in the Chicago Tribuae. Ho says that with flie knowledge that Governor Vatno, of North Carolina, and the signature of Sentor Sunieur and otier ilutiential public mon to his application for pardon, on the ground lint he would consent to advo onto negro suffrage at the south, he endeav. ored to induce Jeff. Davis to consent to the sante condition, and thereby securo his pitr don. This Davis declined to do. Subse quently Mr. Bagley waited upon (lie fallen cief and solicited hin to maike applicat ion for pardon, assurilig him tlihat he bid every reason to believe tho application wvould be successful, To this Davis replied : "llad you uttered these senlint:; som time ago, they would have pItt you in 11le old capital pris m. I fully appreciale your motives, but you miu1ist be Iwai o that I can not approach lie executive wit It stan appli cation for piirldon, as y-m propose.

If Mr. Davis would go to work and help us to give epttal rights to the ne groes and poor white people or the south, there is to pwer in the country that could koep himl) out in congress ;utt to tellyou that lie couldn't apply for pardon is nonsense."
