From the Louisville Courier JoumaLl
Written immediately after hearing, for the first
time, the song, "You'll Think of This Again Some
Day."
I sat beside a maid so fair,
So pure, so noble and so young,
With bright gray eyes and flaxen hair.
And listened while with angel's tongue
In sweetest melody she sung;
"You'll think of this again."
She said It carelessly, but then
Her words (because I loved them so)
Sunk deep into my heart and when
My head with age is bending low.
Sweet memories In my breast shall glow
When shall think of Oils again.
"YouH think of this again, some dayF'
I'll think of it as long as breath
Is with me, and I can not say
But when the Icy hand of Death
Hath laid me low, my spirit' t rest
87tall need these memories of thee!
When years have flown on Time's swift wing,
With failure" written on my brow
A wretched man I'll hear you sing
In those sweet accents Just as new,
And It shall soothe my aching .brow
To think of this again.
That time, "some day," to me Is dark;
I know not of Its bringlngs now:
Nor know the years when "time shall mark"
Deep signs of trouble on my brow
Oh, Godl In love can'st Thou allow
Such horrid things to man ?
"Some day" In death's calm happy sleep,
To wake no more to earthly cares;
Oh, may there be some one to weep
When thus I'm laid some heartfelt tears!
If this be true, I'll have no fears
Of what hereafter Is I
"Some day," perhaps, there'll wave above
My head, In death laid low,
Sweet flowers put there by hands of love !
If this be true, last prayers shall go
To God, who, in His love, will show
His mercy on my head!
I say, perhaps; for, O, how sad.
To know such things will never be;
To know when in the sod I'm clad
There'll be no one to mourn for me;
No one whose heart will sadder be
That J am then no more!

JEFFERS0? DAVIS.
An Intervietc with the Distinguished
Ex-President.
Boston, March 30. The Herald this
morning contains an interview with
Jefferson Davis. After speaking of his
experience in Pierce's cabinet and the
Mexican war, he was led to express
himself on the late rebellion, saying:
" It is generally believed in the !N orth
that I am chiefly responsible for that
great calamity. I was but one of the
vast body of the South, and no more
responsible than thousands of others.
The war would have taken place with
out me as inevitably as it did with me.
It was one of those things which was
sure to come in the progress of events
and in solving the great problems of
government upon this continent." He
conceded expressly that the abolition
of slavery would prove to be of ulti
mate good to the country and that it
was a manifest advantage to the white
race, for it would lead to the develop
mens of the South and multiply her
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries. From the advantages of the cli
mate alone the future of the South is
more promising than that of any other
section of the country, but the condition
of the present generation of -the black
race is all the worse by reason of the ab
olition of slavery. He very much doubts
the wisdom of attempting to educate the
negro and bitterly disapproves of giv
ing him the ballot. It was his opinion
that wherever the negro race was found
it must be as an inferior and servile
race and in the long run would give
way to a superior race under any and
all circumstances. Mr. Davis acknow
ledged, however, that he had changed
his mind entirely on one question, viz:
that the great staples of the South
cotton and sugar could be produced
with greater economy and greater
abundance by paid labor than by the
labor of slaves. This has already been
demonstrated, and that fact alone goes
far to prove the advantage which the
abolition' of slavery has been to th
whites.
Referring to the political status of
the negro Mr. Davis said that the freed-
men had naturally been misiea uy poli
ticians, thinking Northern men were
their best friends, but of late years they
seemed to have reached the opposite
conclusion, and in the long run it would
be found that the neero, having but lit
tle self-dependence, would vote in ac
cordance witn tne wisnes ana senti
ments of those who employed him.
For this reason the negro vote ' would
be a less important factor in the politics
of the future than the Northern men
supposed. In speakiug of national af-
laiTS, no BaJU lie auucucu wio oiiuauuu
as decided by the arbitrament of the
sword arid was very hopeful of the fu
ture of the country. He did not believe
there was any; existing cause for sec
tional estrangement or mat mere couia
be any hereafter. One of the results of
the war already apparent was that the
South was less dependent on tne jn ortn
than heretofore, for while she would
supply the great staples as before, her
people had oegun to produce a greater
variety bf crops for their own use than
ever before and would eventually com
pete with other sections in manufac
tures and mechanical arts. In conclu
sion he said: "You may assure your
people that I have no unkindness in
my heart; to them or any of the people
of the North. I am not the devil the y
have painted me. I have neither horns
nor hoofs, and if they knew me they
would find I am very much one of
themselves. " " "

AUDREY VS. ATKI5S03.
An Incontrovertible Statement Showing Wlo
Saved the Money to the State.
To the Editor of The Obserter-
When the Legislature adjourned I
was willing to leave my record with my
constituents, and retire to my country
home and to the" peaceful pursuits of
the farm. It hasbeen highly gratifying
to me and my colleagues that we have
had expressions 'of , satisfaction from
you, and also from the editors of the
Home and Democrat, wMch we con
strued to be the exponents of the senti
ments of the citizens of our county ; and
while we hear no-complaint from those
who have a rightl) criticise our course,
I regret exceedingly to receive criticism
all the way frora- Buncombe, from a
personal friend and f ellow-membei ,
Oapt. AtkinsoTJiid, regret more that
you are censured jpa my account. I
thought that he and I had fought oat
our political; differences in good f aitjty
in the Legislature, and had shakelf
hands across the bloody chasm, and the
lion of retrenchment and the lamb of
economy had lain down in peace to
gether; and while I disclaim any pur
pose of injuring Capt. A., or inflicting
any undue censure upon his committee,
and while I acknowledge the remark
was made in a heated discussion, that
" his retrenchment movement has cost
the State more than he had saved to the
State," it was not made thoughtlessly
or from any baoV'splrit, but based upon
facts and figures, which show for them
selves :
Appropriations for the past two years:
Penitentiary, $240,000
Insane Asylum, 130,000
Deaf, Dumb and B. Asylum, 85,000
Printing, 13,000
Geological Survey, 5,000
Outside Lunatics, 50,000
Morganton Asylum. 60,000
$583,000
Appropriations for the ensuing two
years :
Penitentiary, $180,000
Insane Asylum, 100,000
Deaf, Dumb and B. Asylum, 65,000
Insane Asvlum, supplemental to, 8,000
Printing, 6,000
Additional K. R. appropriations, 50,000
Oxford Orphan Asylum, 3,000
Morganton Asylum, 50,000
$46?,000
Amount of reduction, 121,000
Now, he gives all the credit to the
committee on retrenchment and reform.
Be it far from me to detract one iota
from the honor due his committee, for
it was composed of as good men as the
Legislature afforded ; but I do say he is
claiming too much for it, for the fol
lowing reasons: 1st. The $6,000 saved
in printing was proposed by the Ral
eigh News before his committee was
appointed, and it I am not mistaken be
fore the Legislature convened. 2d. The
$5,000 saved in abolishing the geologi
cal survey was recommended by anoth
er committee and was never considered
by his. 3d. The $50,000 saved from sup
port ot outside lunatics involved a
constitutional question, and of course
all such questions are referred to the
judiciary committee. 4th. Give one-half
the credit of the reduction in the sup
port of the charitable and penal insti
tutions, to the regular standing com
mittees, for they held joint sessions
with the committee on retrenchment
before the appropriations were recom
mended to the Legislature : one-half of
the savings in these institutions
amounts to $55,000. That added to the
$61,000 recommended by the other com
mittees, and the Kaieigh JSews and you
have $116,000, leaving a balance of
$5,000 in favor of his committee. Now,
l believe the superfluous discussions on
retrenchment and reform cost the State
more than that amount that would be
only five or six days and for some time
l reared it would absorb the entire ses
sion, l think the auditor s reports and
the acts of the Legislature will sustain
my statements.
As to pledges in the campaign of 1878,
he could not have referred to me, as we
had none in Mecklenburg, as I am truly
thankful that our people are so united
that we did not need any. ho l was un
der no pledges, save the undivided in
terests and untarnished honor or my
constituents. As to the influence of the
State officials upon the representatives,
ror myself 1 never had much to do with
them except on business, for I always
feared that they would think that I
might be hunting an office, and I did
not desire to delude them. And I am
sure they all will bear me out, that I
never asked anything for myself or my
constituents, and one of the high offi
cials remarked to me once that Meck
lenburg never asked any f avors. I must
say for all onr State officials that they
are, in my opinion, too noble and patri
otic to stoop to such a course. And I
believe they have more respect for my
county, if not for me, than to attempt
such influences, either directly or indi
rectly, for they know that I have the
honor to represent the second tax pay
ing county in the State, the home of
Vance and the cradle or liberty.
1 did not consider the item ot $17,000
for the Governor's mansion, because it
was the proceeds of property sold, and
not from taxes, and does not come un
der current expenses.
Now. Mr. Editor, I have made these
simple statements for the sole purpose
of setting you and myself right before
the public, and not with the view of
criticising or condemning Capt. Atkin
son's course in the Legislature, nor of
magnifying my own.

objectionable characteristics, by mixture with cof

which Impairs its efficacy as a nutrient.
