' -The President, by proclamation of May 2, 18C5, offered $100,000 reward for the capture of Jefferson Davis, and Congress, by act approved July 27, 1868; appropriated money to pay thc reward.

Holmes, whose funeral was then being solemnized. Every person who knew the deceased started in surprise as he pulsed the office in the tran? sept where he had beer, assigned to duty by Captain Hoddin. One lady insisted, that the coffin should he opened, as she was fully con? vinced that the Grand Master was standing as an officer In the church. -An episode occurred in the Iowa Senate on the ilth instant Soon after the Senate was oalled io order the doorkeeper announced "Mcssago from thc House," and Miss Mary E.

At the conclusion of the message the senators approved of this first official act per? formed by a woman in the Iowa Senate by ? .general clapping of hands. -"lajor-tieucral James W. Ripley, who died t v t t t r r ii fl n e 8 a il t F a tl tl \i y II P P a t< c a tl v fi ll 3 U n tl tl t fi c s II t t P n ti at Hartford, Connecticut, last Wednesday, was a native of Ctonnectic?t, and at .he lime of his death was 73 years of age. He served in the war of 1S12-'15 in the defence of Sackett's Har? bor, and in the campaign of General Jackson against the Seminole Indians and the invasion of:Florida, in 1817-18. ? In 13"2-'33 he was sta? tioned in Charleston Harbor, during South Car? olina's threatened-nullification. In 194S, lor meritorious services in the Mexican war, he was breveted colonel. In 1SG0-'G1 he went on special duty to Japan. Ho filled many positions of trust In the anny, and on March 13th, 1865, was made a brevet major-general "for long and faithful services in the army." He was re? tired from active service September 15th, 18G3 under the law of 1S42, '"having been borne on the army register more than 45 years." -The escape of Colonel Verger from jail in Jackson, Mississippi, has already been an? nounced by telegraph. At daybreak on Sun? day he scaled the board fence which surround? ed the prison yard. Thc first two nights after being handed over to the civil authorities, he was confined in one of the iron cages. Sub? sequently more comfortable quarters were as? signed him In a room without fastenings on either window or door. About five o'clock on the morning of the escape he sent the Jailer for a cup of coffee to the adjoining market-house, and during his absence availed himself of a convenient empty barrel and a j box, and by their aid easily reached thc top of the thirteen-foot fence, taking with him in his flight the jailor's revolver. Verger mn.';: direct for the boarding-house of Colonel Ham? ilton, his former newspaper partner, abruptly entering the bed-room of Lieutenant Appleton, inquiring for his friend, and was told that he roomed immediately below. Thither he bent his steps, md subsequently left in company with Ham Hon. In thc faint light of the morn? ing, Lieutenant Appleton failed to recognize his early visitor. Squads of military, on the requisition ot Governor Alcorn, have been con? stantly searching for the culprit, but at latest I accounts without success. Thc* remissness of | the sheriff in permitting thc escape is very generally censured. TUE significant leading articles from the country press, which we print thi3 morning, show how thoroughly the public mind is in accord with the four resolutions of the Press Conference, and the principles advocated and explained in the columns of this paper. The Tarn of the Tide. -The popular mind ia slow in giving ex? pression to the convictions forced upon it? luring long seasons of silent thought, and when the decisive moment comes for the pent-up sentiment to be uttered, the change, ;o the unobservant and careless, is as sharp? ly sudden as the breaking up in spring of .he ice fields of the North. To those who io not watch and wait for the turning of the ide, who do not remember that long ten lion will bend the stoutest bow and snap the oughest cord, who do not reflect that ab itract idea cannot, in the long run, over? come thc concrete need of daily bread-the pontaneous uprising of a whole people, vheiher against a form of government or a orm o? political belief, is as startling and itrange as the quick thunder-clap which >reaks the calmness of a summer day. The imes and manners change, and the people iMgn the same. They cling to the old war !ry,? and follow the accustomed leaders. Che fools who rush in where wise men fear o tread, are greeted with hoots and jeers or rorse. And yet in the twinkling of an eye he people will elevate the new and degrade he old, changing in an instant from thc ex reme of one idea to the extreme of its exact everee. In truth the transformation i3 not | apid but slow-it is only the result which ? sudden. Under the calm and smiling sur ice th? new sentiment and new resolve ;ather strength and force. They make no ign until, with resistless power, they burst sunder every barrier, springing full-armed oto th? arena of life. It is evident, then, hat it is as dangerous to be in. advance of lublic opinion ia the crisis of the destiny of . nation, us it is ruinous to log behind when he public tongue ?3 loosed and its steadfast ?oughts are spoken. A vast and momentous change is now .orking in' South Carolina, tho fruit of four ears of insecurity, hardship and unrest, a the curliest days of so-called peace, thc e?ple looked for deliverance to a mighty nlitical party which, defeated again and gain, was still strong in the affections of ailing millions. But th'i3 party had mis alculated the force of accomplished events nd . was itself overthrown. They turned bein gaze to thc first man in thc republic, rho had been our foe but was now our riend. And he, also, was hurled from do ainiou and could not save. They receded tep by step from their advanced positions, nd the moro they gave the more was de ianded of them. They joined battle with heir political antagonists, and fought with he desperation of despair. But once more hey encountered disaster and defeat They liled in all that they a''empted. No politi al crj% no political contest, no political truggle, availed them one jot. And in the ?leanwhile the public mone .vas squandered, be public means was eaten up by taxation, he laborer was turned against his em loyer, trade languished and would not be uickened into heal.hy life. The golden rain waved in the fields, and the fleecy cot? on bleached the parching soil; but the State as still prostrate, and her people, however hey walked erect, had no certainty for to ay and little hope for thc morrow. Peering into the past, the people saw that diat they wanted was PEACE-a peace which alf a decade of toiling and striving had not iven them. They demanded an honest and qual government, economy iu the adminis .atiou of public affairs, an union of all lasses for the improvement of the State, a eneral joining of hands,that every man might 0 his part in restoring our ancient wealth nd increasing our ancient prosperity. And l?ese they saw were wholly distinct from the olicics of the past or the political parties of ie present. They demanded no triumph of its party or that, of one color or the other; ll that they demanded was such a govcrn ien? as would give equal and exact justice ) all, and combine the CITIZENS of the State 1 one grand PARTV to give South Carolina the .isac men aud thc public measures neces iry to the consummation we aliso devoutly csire. And this is the meaning of the spontane U3 declarations which come to the seaboard ?om the mountains-which are murmured by ie palmettos of the low country, and swell ito broader harmonies among tho pines of j ie North and West. Thia is the meaning f the sturdy avowal, coming from every Marter of tue State, that the people have abandoned for the time political thought and political action, and address themselves now to the mighty work of retrenchment and re? form. This is the meaning of the declara? tion of the Press Conference, that all the friends of good government must band to? gether to obtain the good and avoid the bad. The people of South Carolina stand to-day upon a platform as, broad as civilization and as strong as the universe itself. They cast aside personal jealousy and party feeling: they put away from them sectional thought and prejudice of race. The skirmishers in front have been withdrawn, and the mass of CITIZEN'S of South Carolina move forward in line, bearing on their ban? ners thc watchwords of the day-EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL THE CITIZENS OF TEE STATE, AND AN HONEST AND ABLE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT FOR ALL SOUTH CAROLINA. This is the war-cry of thc people. And they who will not move forward and swell the grand refrain, will be buried with the past which we love, and for? gotten with other obstacles met and over? come on tho road to fame and fortune. Wronged by Fame. We have received a letter from Mr. George F. McIntyre, a member of the State General Assembly, in which he denies that he was connected with the organization known aa thc "Forty Thieves." Mr. McIntyre says: "Not only was I not the 'captain' of this combination you apeak of, but also not even a member, as my record on thc journal of the House will prove, having voted no on every important measure, l pass which, money, it has been said, was used; as for instance, the Gold bill, Consolidation bill, and sustained the veto on the Phosphate bill." If the facts be as stated by Mr. McIntyre, it i3 certainly very much to be regretted that he should, as stated in THE NEWS, "enjoy "the reputation of having been the captain" of the "Forty Thieves," and that he should have been one of those legislative lambs "heard of outside most frequently" in con? nection with that organization. Asserting their Party Claims. We hear it stated that the friends of Whip? per nre preparing to put him in the field for election to Congress in the place of Bowen, and that Whittemore will haye a formidable antagonist before the black constituency of his district in the person of Elliott While neither Whipper DOT Elliott has ever been a special favorite of THE NEWS, wc must do both the justice to say that either would make an incomparably better representative in Congress than the mean white men whom they aspire to succeed. AT THE late conference of the press in Co? lumbia, it was resolved that a permanent association of its members in this State should be formed. A committee consisting sf the following gentlemen was appointed io report upon this subject to a meeting to x held on the 15th June next ensuing, viz: D. P. Pelham, J. A. Selby, A. A. Gilbert, J. A.
