WHO BEAR IT.
\\ 6 yesterday visited the cemetery,
God’s acre. Our mission fulfilled, we
wandered among the graves, and to
those of the soldiers, whose last rest
ing places woman’s taste and hands
have made so beautiful. On many a
mound we found the word “Un
known,” hut the nameless have as
neat a head-board and as sweet flow
ers blooming o’er them as the wealth
iest in the grounds. Shall the “Un
known” he forgotten ? The Southern
women say not. They have demonstra
ted that they shall he ever recognized.
While heaven smiles on loveliness
and hearts are true, they shall be
known as Confederate heroes. The
inscription, “To the unknown God,”
accidentally discovered, will ever
live in history as long as a divine
impulse animates humanity.
Viewing these graves, we could not
avoid thinking of the monument to
be erected to our Con federate dead—
the funds for which have been raised
by the endeavors of the noble women
of Columbus. There are more fe
males than males in the world, that
man might see wherever he looks,
upwards or around him, less of earth
than heaven. The “Unknown”—
what a volume it speaks. Names
are forgotten, though they may
have been among the bravest in the
ranks, and loving mothers may have
guided with tenderness their infant
minds in deeds of honor and high
emprize. They died slain by the bul
let, the hurtling shell or on the hard,
bed of the hospital, but obeying their
mothers’ teachings they were true to
country and principle.
When the monument was first
broached the writer opposed, because
lie thought an asylum for the wives
and orphans of the sainted dead a
more fitting testimonial. Enough
funds could not be procured for that.
The ladies decided to raise a shaft to
remind the living of the deeds of he
roes. Since that decision this journal
lias aided in every way to advance
the cause with all the ability and
means it |>ossessed, and to-day nearly
all the fund required has been se
cured, and a proud pile will soon be
reared. When men halted and ob
jected, women led the way, fit proto
types of those who were first at the
cross and earliest at the grave. They
have toiled for years through doubt
and tears, and find at last the goal of
their labors and toils realized.
The funds for the monument have
been nearly completed. Little more
Is needed. To our ladies belongs the
credit. Without tiieir persistent en
deavor the work could never have
been accomplished. With them it
has been a labor of love and remem
brance. Location has been deci
ded by popular vote. That has
been settled, beyond recall, by a
decision left to the people.
The only question remaining is to
determine what names shall be
ascribed thereon. This, too, should be
settled by the ladies. It is their work
and their movement. We simply
suggest the inscription which their
own hearts dictate. All have noticed
the difficulty of procuring a corrected
list of the dead during the war. The
gallant Henning, Hodges and hosts of
others have since gone to join their
comrades who fought under the stars
and bars. Then, there is the large
number of the “unknown”—men
without fear and reproach—who were
true to cause and country. Then,
there are the survivors who in pro
cess of time must join the martial
array of those who touched shoulder
to shoulder, and stood the brunt of
battle on earth. We know men in
Columbus, few they are, who were
exposed to their foes in every con
test of the command and they barred
their breasts to shot, shell and disease
equally with their followers and
associates. Shall they not have a
place in the roll commemorated to
Confederate braves ? That the bullet
spared one and sped to another was
not their fault. Shall they not be
written among the immortals, that
coming generations may love and
admire,? The, answer belongs to the
ladies alone. Outsiders have no
voice in the matter.
A solution may be found. If the
ladies think best, let the monument
bear alone the inscription, “To the
Confederate Dead,” with all the sen
timent that tender woman’s heart
can dictate. We opine the “Lost
Cause" is what is desired to perpetu
ate. In the corner stone deposit all
the names. In the Southern heart
have the deeds been embalmed, and
will remain in enetfaceable characters
as long as truth and valor are known.
Memory outlives marble. Put all the
names where they will be preserved
longer than the marble pile will en
dure. We may not seek on its pure
faces for names, but as long as the
Southron gazes on it, each individu
al will recall those who fought and
bled and died for us; be reminded of
woman’s deathless devotion, and as
our great chieftain. Lee, declared, re-
the gloaming till dewy, mom the
darkness breaks, it is repeated in dif
ferent forms, but all bear a God bless
you. Even in the wee hours when
all the air a solemn stillness holds, it
is refreshing to meet a stray wander
er,exchange a salutation,and pass the
merry good night. Only this and
nothing more.
Parting discloses far more than a
welcome. It tells whether a repeti
tion of the call is desired. Wno would
not give many howdy-do’s for a ten
der good-night with all its soul-re
vealing, trembling on the lip, beam
ing from the eye, and shown in the
change of coior in the rich-hued
cheek that blushes all over noble
shame. All dream of the good-nights
they’ve known, when quiet and
alone, and fragrant smoke wreaths
open and show the glowing mists of
cloudy fancy. Memories come thick
ly teeming on the brain and cluster
in magic beauty. Happy homes lie
in all their beauty before the eye.
The kiss of childhood is upon our
brow, the cherished “now I lay me”
drowsily muttered, the good-night
said, and the little people soon
have passed through the ivory
gates, always left a little ajar
for them—through into the land of
dreams. We, perhaps, may call
back the time of the gladdest exulta
tion of boyhood—that which the
bravest and richest of us can never
wear but once, if we try—the first
pair of pants. Then, too, we think
of those whose last good night and
kiss still linger as a benison, though
they have'floated away in the serial
ocean, sounding a note of joy clearer
and more triumphant as they wing
their way to the purer ether and to
happier spheres. The “Good night,
God bless you darling,” constitutes a
joy forever, and in hours of strongest
temptation their recollection makes
dimmer the fascination and en
ticement of wrong. Their spir
its remain, though visible forms
have vanished and often in the
breeze that fans the brow, gentle as
the kiss on the thistle down by the
recreant Zephyr, we feel the sweet
loving caress and wait to catch the
endearing message. ’Twas a mere
good night, an interval before the call
of incense breathing morn shall
gather all together. Those who bade
the pleasant good night and whom
we so sadly miss in the wakening
moments are merely sleeping. Do
not be disturbed; they merely slum
ber.
And then the lover’s good-night.
They are as prodigal of moments as
the spendthrift of his coin, yet hoard
them as closely as the miser. The
seconds depart in goldeu showers and
fall in dying sparks at their feet.
All vanish like a vision. In other’s
arms they may breathe out the
tender tale, but hours know no
mercy. They will not say good-bye;
he in faltering tones says good-night,
and she in murmuring accent,
like soft music in the pines, with
lips shyly upraised, inviting the
caress and strong arm around her,
whispers “good night,” and he de
parts in elysium. Her night visions
may tell of love’s sweet trance, and
through the mental fancy may float:
Linger not long! How shall I watch thy
coming ?
As evening shadows stretcli o’er moor and
dell.
When the wild bee hath ceased her busy
humming.
And silence hangs on all things like a
spell.
Linger not long.
Ah! the good nights form the poesy
of life. They linger in the brain.
They sing sweet songs—their memo
ries form a benison on life. They
join in all that is rich, blessed and
harmonious. E’en while thinking
of the death in life, the days that are
no more, sweet as remembered kisses
after death, wakens the thought to
the cherished memories of the dear
“good night.” Cynic, laugh not, for
if you have not known the delicious
sensation of a darling good night, life
must have been passed in vain. You
have not lived, but simply existed.
Florida Legislature.—On the
loth the Senate defeated the bill for
holding a constitutional convention,
by a vote of 15 to 13.
Of all the Florida papers, we know
not one that reports legislative pro
ceedings. Some of them are dailies,

The Memphis bondholders are mov
ing down upon the charterless city.
They claim, first, that the act repealing
the charter of Memphis is void, be
cause impairing the obligation of con
tracts; second, the State itself, in
vacating the charter of Memphis,
assumes that city’s debts, and it is
bound to provide for them by taxation;
lastly, the debt of the defunct city
adheros to all the property within its
former limits, “and United States
courts can, by the appointment of a
receiver and the imposition of special
taxes upon such property, enforce the
collection of debts for the protection of
non-resident creditors.” The United
States court, Judge Baxter presiding,
has put the city in the hands of a
receiver, and he proposes to take full
possession of all its assets of every
kind.

equally divided in their opinions
the face of these facts, I have no doubt
it is generally conceded that these
questions have been disposed of with
an eye single to the greatest good to
the greatest number, and that to hav
elected a body which would have ren
dered more wise, consistent and correct
decisions would have been utterly im
possible. The session, too, has been
conducted with much harmony, anil
true spirit of friendiHiip and good will
has been plainly noticeable on every
Land. The gentlemen composing the
body have labored together in a most
commendable manner, and a brotherly
feeling has been plainly visible. Of
course differences have arisen between
them, and it would have been remark
able had this not been the case, but
they have in every instance been
amicably adjussed, and nothing has
occurred which could have the least
tendency to form hard feeliugs,
THE TAX BATE.
No proposition which came before
the body created a greater interest
among the whole people, and none was
handled with greater care, than the tax
rate. For many months before assem
bling of the Legislature the question
of reducing the rate was discussed by
the people generally, and during the
canvass it was alluded to from tie
stump. In many counties it was at
first urged that members should pledge
themselves to support and vote for a
reduction, but a short time before th
various nominating conventions were
held, it was foud that the proposition
was a grand mistake, and that to rob
Representatives of their honest con
victions by instructing them as to their
action on this or any ether question
would be extremely unjust. Hen
the idea was abandoned, and they were
allowed to enter the halls of legislation
with the firm resolution to gratify the
wishes of their constituents in reducin
their taxes if possible to do so without
injury to the credit and good name of
the State. The matter was taken hold
of early in the session, and examined
from evrey stand-point, the suggestion
of all, even to the most humble, being
thoroughly considered. The commit
tee of ways and means of the House, to
which the bill was referred madea unan
imous report in favor of reducing the
rate to sixty cents on the one hundred
dollars, and after a most able discus
sion, continuing more than two days,
the bill was amended by inserting
seventy cents in lieu of the amount
recommended by the committee and
giving the Governor power to reduce
when possible, and sent to the
Senate. The latter body also gave it
thorough and attentive examination,
ind consumed much time upon it, but
failed to arrive at the same conclusion
reached by the House. Senators liked
the proposition to give the Executive
and cabinet authority in the matter,
for they considered its adoption equal
to a reduction in case the Constitution
did not conflict, but upon this point
they entertained much doubt, and were
unwilling to risk its test. They, there
fore placed the amount for the present
year at seventy cents, and for 1880 at
six and one-half cents, and struck out
the authority given the Governor. The
House refused to concur in this action
and held its position firmly until two
separate committees of conference had
been appointed to consider the differen
ces between the two houses, and had de
cided to accept the proposition of the
Senate. It is doubtful whether an
agreement would have been reached
even then if the session had not been
so near an end. I cannot but think
that the action which was finally taken
will meet with general satisfaction, bnt
if it does not, it will not be the fault of
either Senators or members, for they
did the best they could under the cir
cumstances.
DELINQUENT TAXES.
A law was passed at the session just
closed regulating the redemption of
lands sold for taxes and purchased by
the State, which, it is thought, will
work well. It provides that where
such lands have been sold for taxes and
bought by the State at any time between
January 1, 1S66, and January 1, 1878,
the owners thereof may redeem them
by paying into the State treasury, or to
the judge of probate of the county
where located, one-half the taxes due
when the lands were sold, and one-half
the amount accruing since and up to
the time when they are redeemed, with
out interest or penalty; but application
for redemption must be made by the
first day of January next. It also
gives the owner the right to redeem
only a portion of his lands, or any par
ticular piece, if, for any cause, he
should not see fit to redeem the whole
tract. The funds arising from these
redemptions are to go into the State
treasury, after the counties in which
the lands are located have received a
pro rata share. Legislation on this
subject has been long and greatly need
ed, and it is to be hoped that this law
will prove a sufficient remedy.
COLLATERALS.
A law has been passed requiring
bankers and others engaged in the bus
iness of lending money, to give re
ceipts for collaterals. It requires that
in each case where money is loaned on
collateral a receipt or acknowledgement
in writing must be given, whether de
manded or not, which shall designate
or describe the collateral, the amount
and character of the debt and the time
when due; and if the same be negotia
ble bonds, the series number thereof
shall also be given in the receipt. If
any corporation or person lending mon
ey willfully fail or refuse to give or
tender such acknowledgement, such
corporation or person shall have no
title to collaterals until a receipt or ac
knowledgement is given or tendered.
THE COURTS.
The reorganization of the Chancery
divisions and judicial circuits, to take
effect at the expiration of the terms of
the present judges and chancellors,
were perfected during the session just
closed, and laws were passed as to each
one. The Southern division comprises
twenty-one counties and is divided into
fifteen districts. Pike composes the
9th district, Barbour the 13th,
Russell the 14th and Bullock the 15th.
The Third Judicial Circuit comprises"
eight counties, among which are Bul
lock, Russell, Lee and Barbour. In
Bnllock county court will meet at
Union Springs, on the fifth Mondays
ELECTION BALLOTS.
The new law as to elections ballots
requires that they must be composed
of a plain piece of white paper without
figures, marks, rulings, characters or
embelishments, not less than two nor
more than two and one-half inches
wide, and not less than five nor more
than seven inches long, on which must
be written or printed only the names
of the persons for whom the elector
intends to vote, and must designate the
office for which each person so named
is intended by him to be chosen, and
any ballot otherwise than described
will be rejected.
THE CLOSING SCENES.
The closing scenes at the capitol to
night were exceedingly interesting,
and were witnessed by a large crowd
of spectators. At seven o’clock the
hour expired in which legislative busi
ness could be transacted, and both
houses took a recess until ten o’clock.
At that hour they reassembled for the
purpose of receiving messages from
the Governor. In the Senate, after the
approval of the journal and the adop
tion of resolutions of thanks to its vari
ous officers, the President delivered a
short speech and announced it adjourn
ed sine die. Everything passed of very
quietly in this end off the building, and
very few spectators were present. This
was owing, no doubt, to the fact that
the Senators are most all “old fogies,”
as the ladies term them, and are “not
much on the laugh.” In the House,
however, quite another scene took
place. The galleries were literally
jammed with ladies and their escorts,
at so late an hour as midnight, and
standing room was scarcely to be had
in the lobby. Mr. Wiliiams of Elmore
county, and Congressman from the
fifth district, introduced a preamble
and resolutions expressing the thanks
of the House to the Speaker, Clerk
and “employes, having preceded them
with a most eloquent speech of
probably twenty minutes duration,
which was listened to with great atten
tiveness and frequently applauded.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted by a rising vote. Mr Speaker
Clopton then replied in a brief but
most eloquent speech, in which he ten
dered tiianks for the kind sentiments
expressed in the resolutions. Durin:
the whole proceedings the best order
was kept, and all seemed highly inter
ested in them. Resolutions of thanks
to the ladies, for their frequent visits
during the session, were adopted, after
which fun was the order, and members
passed jokes upon each other as to oc
currences during the session, and many
a hearty laugh was indulged. Mr. Mar
tin, of Russell, the acknowledged hu
morist of the House, was called upon
and indulged in a few witty remarks,
which were received with shouts of
laughter. Thus closed one of the most
pleasant sessions of the House ever
held in Montgomery.
THANKS.
I desire to return my most sincere
thanks to Major Ellis Phelan, chief,
and Messrs Elmore Garrett and Sid D
Phelan, assistant clerks of the House,
for the many courtesies shown me in
preparing the proceedings for the En
quirer. Those gentlemen have been
kind and attentive, and have often
shown me favors at the inconvenience
of themselves. J. H. P.
WiTn Conk'ing likewise fell the Sen
atorial oligarchy which has so long dis
pensed pretty nearly all the patronage
of the Government. The oligarchy
succumbed not to any convictions on
the part of itself of the wrongfulness
of such an institution, nor to thegrow-
popularity of the Administration,
but to the fact that the Democrats, in
consequence of the division among the
Republicans, were enable to destroy it-

A duel has been fought in Algeria
under singular conditions. M. Poivre,

lenged M. Feuillet, editor of the Zcr-
amma, lor libelling him in his paper.
The editor agreed to fight, if M. Poivre
would sign a paper authorizing him to
continue his attacks in case neither
party should be hurt. This was done
and an exchange of bullets took place
without result, and now the Zeramma
is in possession of a letter of license to
abuse its adversary at pleasure.
There are twenty-five drinking
places in Knoxville, Tennessee. They
retail on an average 5,01)0 drinks a day,
showing that the male adults average
15 drinks daily at the bar-rooms. The
total yearly amount of all kinds of
liquor consumed would fill 33,800 kegs.
The daily expenditure for liquor is
8550, or §200,750 per annum.
In passing upon the application of
creditors to have Memphis placed in
the hands of a receiver, the Judge of
the United States District Court said
that “all the property in the city was
liable for the payment of the public
debt.”
The next President of the United
States, according to the St Louis Post-
Dispatch, “cannot be a Western man,
but will be Thomas Francis Bayard,
the biggest Senator from the smallest
State.”
The liquor register or bell-punch is
not growing in favor. The Virginia
House of Representatives has voted to
abolish its use and substitute a strin
gent license law.

failure to enter satisfaction of a mort
gage; notice or request to one is notice
or request to all.
2. It is not essantial to the recovery
of the statutory penalty for failure to
enter satisfaction of a mortgage (Code,
-S 2223), that the mortgagee’s failure
should have been willful and inten
tional, if it resulted from mere inad
vertence, inattention or indifference,
the penalty is incurred.
Quere.—Whether physical or mental
inability to eomplv with the request,
would not be a defence.

Forsyth et al. vs. Preer, Hges A Co.
Appeal from Russell Chancery Court.
Brick ell, C. J.
1. As betw-een the parties to it, what
ever might be its effect as to third per
sons, it is not essential to the validity
of a mortgage taken to secure a pre
existing debt and future advances also,
that it should express on its face that
it is to operate not only as a security
for a present debt, but also for advan
ces; nor that the agreement that it
should have such effect should be in
writing.-
2. Where a note is given for an ag
gregate sum, including not only a pre
existing debt, but the amount" it was
contemplated the mortgage would ad
vance before the maturity of the note,
there is not as to such future advances,
or the sum intended to cover, any want
of consideration for the note,' and a
mortgage given for its security is a
valid security for so much as the' mort
gage advanced.
3. Prior to the enactment of a statute,
prescribing any particular mode
in which the wife’s concurrence
in a mortgage of the homestead
sflbuld be expressed, if a wife joined
with her husband in executing the
conveyance, and it was acknowledged
before and certified by a proper officer,
the constitutional requisition of the
voluntary signature and assent of the
wife was satisfied.
4. Where a right or defence is claim
ed in our courts, under a statute of a
sister State, the party relying on it,
must set out the law by appropriate
pleading, that the court may determine
■whether the right claimed falls within
it. A mere statement bv the pieaderof
the substance of the statute or the
duty or right of parties under it the
statute itself not being set out or proved
will not suffice.

Sherman’s Letter.
Washington, February 15.—The
committee on ways and means to-day
considered Secretary Sherman’s letter
in relation to appropriations for the
next fiscal year, suggesting that meas
ures betaken for meeting deficiencies.
No action was taken and it will be
further considered Monday.
RIVER AND HARBOR Bibb.
Chairman Reagan, of the House
committee on commerce, will on
Monday report the river and harbor
bill back to the House and move its

necessary two-thirds vote will be so
cured.
SEWABD INVESTIGATION.
In the Seward investigation to
day Carpenter, of the counsel for the
prosecution, called the attention of
the committee to the fact that no
decision had yet been rendered on
the question arising from the non-
compliance of Seward with the sub
poena duces tecum served upon him
sometime since, namely, whether or
not he be required to produce the
books called for. A secret session was
held on the subject. It is understood
the committee were divided in opin
ion, the majority holding that the
books should be given up for exami
nation, and the minority that they
were books of a private nature and-,
the committee had no right to com
pel their production for public in
spection. At the meeting Monday,
Seward will probably lie informed of
the action of the committee, and if lie
still refuses to produce the books he
will be reported to the House as in
contempt.
The House committee charged
with the investigation of the best
means of preventing the introduction
and spread of epidemic diseases have
prepared a bill similar to that report-
en by a special committee of the
Senate. One of the principal differ
ences is tlie omission of a provision
for a bureau of health, but it adopts
the Senate features for a hoard of
health to consist of seven members to
be appointed by the President, by
and with the advice and consent of
the Senate. Not more than one mem
ber is to be appointed from any one
State and the compensation of each
during the time when actually en
gaged in the performance of his du
ties is to he ten dollars a day, and
reasonable expenses. The surgeon-
general of the army and surgeon gen
eral of the navy are to be members of
the board without additional pay.
The duties of the board are such as
defined in the Senate bill, and the
precautions tor preventing the intro
duction of infectious diseases into
this country are generally the same.
The House bill contains the pro
viso, That it shall be unlawful for
any vessel engaged in the transporta
tion of goods or persons from any
foreign port, where any infec
tious or contagious diseases exist, to
and in the United States, except in
accordance with the provisions of
this- act.
RAILROAD TELEGRAPHS.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.'
Washington, Feb.15.—The Sen
ate committee on railroads, heard to
day the conclusion of the argument of
Mr. Lowrev, counsel for the Western
Union Telegraph Company against
Senator Jones’ bill authorizing rail
road companies to construct and
maintain telegraph lines for com
mercial purposes. Lowrey said tlu-
act of 1866 gave the Western Union
Company nothing which it did not
already possess, except the right to
enter a State with its line in opposi
tion to the will of a State Legislature,
as was done in the Pensacola case, and
that there was no reason why other
telegraph companies should not build
their lines along the railroads on
the oppositic side of the track from
the Western Union wires, if they so
desired.
General Butler then addressed the
committee in favor of the bill
dwelling on the difficulty of
controlling such a gaeat
corporation as the Western
Union on account of the immense
power which it possessed of corrupt-
Legislatures. He enumerated
the great advantages which would
accrue to the public from tlie passage
of the bill, and said the buying up of
rival lines by the Western Union
Company as soon as they began to
be successful, was proof that tele
graphing could be done more cheaply
than it now is.
At the conclusion of Butler’s re
marks the committee adjourned until
Monday, when Mr. Simonton will
state the nature of the relations be
tween the Western Union Company
and the New York Associated Press, i
ENGLAND.

Special to the Enquirer-Sun.
London, February 15.—The Stand-
ard publishes the following, dated
Martzburg, January 25: Shortly af
ter the commencement of hostilities,
Lord Chelmsford and Col. Pearson
successfully engaged the enemy near
the place where Lord Chelmsford had
been fighting. He left six companies
of the 24th regiment under Pnlleine
where Durnford was to join with the
natives. Fifteen thousand Zulus at
tacked the united forces on the 22d
inst. Fire from the British caused
immerse havoc among them, but
they rushed forward with indomitable
pluck, and when they had come to
close quarters the great numerical
superiority of the Zulus se-
secured a complete victory. The six
companies of the twenty-fourth were
totally destroyed, and the Durnford
natives were utterly routed. Tbe
victorious Zulus attacked a small
force in the vicinity ofRoroke’s Drift
the same day, but were repelled. In
the attack made on tbe Roroke’i-
Dritt on tbe evening of the 22d, after
the destruction of the camp, a hun
dred men succeeded in keeping off"
over 4,000 Zulus. They fought from
5 o’clock in the evening until day
light, when the main column arrived.
Tlie British lost thirteen men, five of
whom were massacred in tbe hospital.

that until a new source of revenue
from indirect taxation wa- created in
Germany, and until it was ascer
tained what portion of the surplus
could be transferred to individu
