Friday Morning, September 10, 1875.
A Home For Jefferson Davis—Homes
for the Widows and Orphans of the
Confederacy.
It is to Mr. Davis’ credit that he re
fused to receive, while in Texas, sub
scriptions for a farm which it was in
tended should be donated him. Noth
ing daunted by that experience, Mr.
Wm. H. McCardle, editor of the Vicks
burg Herald , and candidate for United
States Senator from Mississippi, wants
the people to give Mr. Davis a home,
which he does not ask. for, has already re
fused elsewh&re, and probably does not
need.’ Tifis is McCardle’s plan in his own
words- “I have authentic information
that there are 675 subordinate Granges
iu the State, with an average member
ship of a trifle over 50, and an aggre
gate membership of 35,000. If each of
these 675 subordinate Granges will con
tribute six bales of cotton—which is
less than a bale to eight members—we
shall have an aggregate of over 4,000
bales, which, at present prices, will
realize the sum of §200,000. This will
furnish a comfortable home for our
grand old patriot aud his family, and
leave for investment a sum the interest
upon which will be ample for the fu
ture support of Mr. Davis and his fam
ily, and the proper education of his
children.”
Mr. Davis has had some lucrative
offices since the war. He knows the
value of life insurance and has most
likely secured his family against want
in the event of his death, and, from all
the circumstantial evidence of his sur
rounding, neither asks nor wishes any
such gift as Mr. McCardle suggests.
We honor him for his independence
aud trust he will maintain his present
attitude. We would suggest to the
Vicksburg editor that, while he may
not prosper in his scheme concerning
the illustrious ex-President of the Con
federacy, he will confer undying honor
on himself aud a blessing upon thous
ands of women and children, if he shall
divert his project toward the widows
and orphans of those Confederate
t soldiers of Mississippi who fell on tjie
-jijplil of battle or died in the hospital or
the prison-pen. It is within our own ex
perience, in this aud neighboring
States, that, while living heroes of our
war have, in almost every instance,
either prospered or had the opportu
nity to do so, many tender women and
children who lost their all when hus
bands and fathers fell, in defence of
their country, as privates or subalterns,
have been reduced to grinding poverty,
in some cases, to a degradation,
worse than death, and one too that
makes the blood of a generous man boil
vvitli indignation in his veius to hear of.
Not long ago, Mr. Derry, of this city,
sorrowfully romarked, when writing
from one of the North Georgia towns,
that the cemetery wherein the Federal
invaders of our soil reposed was kept
iu perfect order, while, on the other
hand, the Southern braves who fell in
their effort to roll back the tide of war
, from this State sleep in graves that are
most disgracefully neglected. It is true
that a rich and powerful Government
can well afford to keep trim and neat
the surroundings of those who, what
ever their deeds to us, may he num
bered among the valiant dead. But
love and pride and patriotism should
be stronger than mere Government
money, and there is little excuse for
that people who have the honor of a
s Confederate graveyard within their
mtlnes, and yet allow it to goto decay.
: os But it is of the living that we speak,
l*u3ore particularly, and not of the dead.
' Let Mr. McCardle continue his good
work, not for Jefferson Davis, but for
the surviving relatives of the “men” of
the grey lines, who have left us as a
sacred trust those who once depended
upon them for support. If Mr. McCai?-
dle can raise §200,000, let that sum be
put out at interast, say seven per cent.,
for the purpose we have indicated. Ap
?ply the §14,000 thus raised annually
to the succor of all widows and orphans
of the Confederacy who need such as
sistance, whether in the way of bread,
or what you will. In ten years
from now there will be but few left
who can justly make demands upon
that fund. Many recipients of that
bounty will have gone to join their hus
bands and fathers with “the silent ma
jority many will have married or
grown to man or woman’s estate.- Then
let the principal, §200,000, be devoted
in part to a monument in memory of
our departed soldiery, and mainly to
the erection of a Home for the aged
subscribers to the original fund, or a
refuge for their unfortunate offspring,
if, perchance, in the vicissitudes of life,
the noble Grangers who helped others
need help for themselves or their chil
dren.
Without pretending to have any
more wisdom than our fellows ; and
without intending any slight to Jef
ferson Davis ; and without assuming
to teach so prominent a man as Mr.
McUardle wherein true duty lies —we
yet. with all humility, make these sug
gestions, which, if he shall carry out
successfully, will do more for his own
and his children’s honor than a thous
and years in the United States Senate,
or even the Presidency of this Ring
public.
Confederate Currency. —Col. Blan
ton Duncan, who ought to know, has
written an article to the Cincinnati
Commercial on the Confederate cur
rency. He says the total issue never
reached §350,000,000, and its deprecia
tion was less than is popularly belived.
He saya the paper dollar was worth 85
cents in gold la November, 1861 ; 60
cents in May, 1862 ; 45 or 50 cents in
November, 1862 ; 16 cents in July, 1863 ;
8 cents in November, 1863 ; 5 cents in
May, 1864, from which period to the
termination of tne war it fluctuated,
going up once to 6 cents, and only fail
ing entirely as a medium in the last
two months prior to the capitulation,
when every one saw that defeat was
inevitable. Our last §IOO bill, so-call
ed, went for what the butcher told us
vras a leg of of mutton, but was really
p, leg of dog. Fact 5
Binding on Henry Wilson—A Radical
Editor Foams at the Mouth.
Very recently we published Vice
President Wilson’s confession that the
Republican party was on its last legs.
Mr. Wilson’s candid declaration has
fallen like a bomb-shell into the sanc
tum of the Washington Republican, and
the heathen who conducts that sheet,
after recovering from his consterna
tion, rages in this style:
It (the interview) does not contain oae
word of cheer fur the men who are en
gaged in completing the work of asserting
equality before the law. Although he (Wil
son) began that work, or was ranked with
the beginners of it, he seems to have aban
doned it just at the critical moment when
a determined and combined effort is all that
is required to secure its success. At the
instant of executing the finishing stroke of
the groat campaign, this former leader
sulks growls and deserts his former follow
ers. The spirit which nerved him to
do and to dare in the past seems
to have been exhausted. The un
selfish devotion to principle which
ha3 heretofore enabled him to surmount
the greatest obstacles, seems to have been
replaced by a selfish, truckling cowardice
that unmans him, and has practically
closed his eyes to everything except dys
peptic visions or imaginary things. He has
no faith in the loyalty of the people or party
principle, no elastic confidence born of as
suring hope, and no toleration for the acts
ot those who appear iu his disordered view
to stand in the way of a realization of his
own selfish ambition. Soured and gan
grened, his political belief no longer rests
upon integrity and stern devotion to duty
and principle; but he wavers, and has
fallen an easy prey to those who have no
further interest in him than to use him as
a tool to destroy the party which has so
often honored him, and the administration
the reputation of which should be dear to
him, as it is to every true Republican.
But the humiliating aspect of the case is
that Mr. Wilson talks with such wide and
gabbling indiscretion to every person with
whom he comes iu contact. Even the hotel
waiters do not escape him. Our private o.d
vices from Saratoga are to the effect that
lie discusses politics with the
and that the constmt burden of his strain
plainly shows a condition of mind, fre
quently resulting from paralysis, border
ing on dementia.
He is not mad, you howling fanatic,
but speaks the words of truth and
soberness, in notable contrast to the
shibboleth of the drunken Helot who
assails him. Mr. Wilson, none more sor
rowfully and more clearly, perceives
that the great party lie helped build up
has fallen into the hands of rogues and
harlots; that it has survived any use
fulness it may have had; and that it
but follows in the footsteps of all orga
nizations which have been corrupted
by too much power. In the subjoined
extract he talks like a true philosopher
who has read the records of the past to
some purpose:
“ Tho old Federal party,” he said, “held
the country for twelve years, but not even
the veneration for Washington could keep
the Republican party from coming- to the
front. That was ably handled, and it con
stantly represented new topics of reform,
made great territorial acquisitions, and
fought victorious battles on sea and land.
The Republican party stayed in six terms;
its regular nominee for the seventh term
was ( rawford, and he was beaten. Then
the Democratic party held the country for
three terms, barely electing Van Bunns
The Whigs held office one term, then the
Democrats a term, the Whigs again and
then we had two Democratic term-. The
Republican party came into power by a
scratch, being hundreds of thousands in the
minority. Extraordinary circumstances
have given us four terms. If wo expect to
hold power we must not lot the opportuni
ties siip, for the people of the United Stat es
are not hereditary partisans. They have
shown a stability in supporting tho Repub
lican party such as n > constitutional gov
ernment in Europe has observed. Glad
stone and Thiers and Casielak and Rica
soli go down before tho breath of momen
tary unpopulat itj*.
The overthrow and unpopularity of
the Republican party he attributes
mainly to Grant. Well, he is as good a
scapegoat as any other, but, in driving
Radicalism to perdition, the President
has logically used only such thunder
bolts as Wilson and Sumner forged. If
he is to be condemned for carrying out
rigorously the original policy of these
men, they have only themselves to
blame. The awful phantoms that con
front Hf.nrv Wilson are the monstrous
demons of Abolition and Reconstruc
tion—“ execrable shapes ” indeed.
A “Barren Ideality.”— The substi
tution of debased silver coin for our
postal currency will be the champion
financial folly of the Government. Tle
New York Bulletin supplements Gen.
Spinner’s attack upon this new way to
pay old debts as follows : “The pur
chase of silver by the U. S. Treasury
has undoubtedly greatly contributed to
the monetary crisis in California, and
to the present scarcity of gold there
and here. Silver purchased would
otherwise have been exported to
Europe in place of gold. The equiva
lent amount in gold has had to be
shipped from California to the Atlantic
States in liquidation of purchases from
the latter section, and tho Atlantic
States have had to ship gold to Europe
in place of silver to liquidate our in
debtedness to Europe. And what
benefit has the community derived
from these purchases ? None what
ever. The silver purchased, coined or
uncoined, lies idle in the U. S. Treasury;
and when issued will no doubt immedi
ately disappear from circulation either
to be hoarded or to bo exported to
Europe; and we shall havo nothing iu
circulation to replace the postal cur
rency that will be withdrawn aad
destroyed.’’
Mosquitoes.— We have never been
more plagued by mosquitoes than at
this season. Their attacks are as for
midable in the day as in the night. The
female mosquitoes are the annoying a ad
blood-thirsty members of the tribe, and
they Dave no pull-backs to irritate
them, either. We feel very much as
the man did who was told by his lar d
lady that then was not a sitiglo mos
quito in her house. “ Madam,” ho
gravely responded, “ I believe your
assertion. Personal experience has con
vinced me that they are all married
and have remarkably large families! ”
A Difference. —We have been study
ing the habits of the mosquito. The
night marauder is vocal, but not melo
dious. Some fellow has said that Iter
song is ‘grace before meat.” The
day phlebotomizer is tuneless. As she
does not say grace before meat it is
fair to presume that she is an infldel.
Timely and Sensible Advice.
The editor of the Norfolk (Va.) Land
mark is a clear-headed and sagacious
man. Treating of the recent Missis
sippi embroilment, he gives this sen
sible advice : “W,e may fairly demand
from the white people a wise reserve in
their intercourse with the negroes. In
this case it appears that white men,
through idle curiosity, wsre
and provoked the unauthorized inter
ference of the Marshal, whose action
precipitated the collision. It is true
they had a right to be present; but
every consideration of policy and self
respect should have restrained them
from attending the meeting. Had
they left the negroes to their own de
vices this tragedy would not have been
enacted, aud the unhappy .man whose
illegal whiskey brought about the
trouble would not have been murdered
after his surrender. In one word, our
friends in the Gulf States should hold
themselves aloof from tumultuous
meetings of the blacks, and leave them
to their orators and leaders, the idols
to whom they are irrevocably joined.
There is but one course Tor tho white
people to adopt in the intensely black
States, and that we havo indicated.
Whenever they depart from this they
will be liable to the same treatment
Sivelley received, aud will run
the risk, as happened in this case, of in
volving others, remote even from the
scene of action. There is ample room
for the two races, aud in the present
agitated frame of the Ethiopian mind (?)
in some of the States to the South of
us, the very best tiling for the white
people to do is to abstain from all con
tact with the negroes on public occa
sions, of a political unhire. To violate
this sound rule, alike enforced by con
siderations of public peace and per
sonal dignity, will be to incur the risk
of just such scenes as that which has
been enacted in Mississippi.”
By Proxy.—We once heard of a pious
preacher who lost his hat in tho streets
while a gale of wind prevailed. After
chasing it a mile, he leaned against a
lamp-post, panting and exhausted. Ac
costing a long-haired barbarian who
sauntered past him, he gasped;
“Stranger, I am a minister of the gos
pel and cannot swear; you look like a
person to whom oaths are familiar.
Will you be kiud euougli to damn that
hat for me?” While tortured by day
mosquitoes we feel like having a sub
stitute to do our swearing. The la
mented Bishop Polk was once prostra
ted by tho explosion of a cannon, in
company with several officers, one of
whom, on recovery, said: “General,
aiu’t that hell ?” “It smells like it, ray
friend,” tho Bishop-General waggishly
replied. We hope the mosquitoes, fe
male Mortons, who are this minute
moving their ensanguined garments
around us, will read this and make a
note of it, instead of presenting a bill.
We know it is true, that a million of
acres of land are now “on the market of
the South, for the value of the improve
ments erected on them,” and that “the
South contains to-day the cheapest im
proved farms in the world.” Why, then,
are they not purchased and occupied ! At
the close of the late war thousands of
Northern men went to that sectiou with a
view of purchasing- sucli lands and Impro
ving them. They returned home disgust
ed, because Southern men—“ranting dem
agogues”—instead of receiving them hos
pitably, exhibited nothing but hate and de
nounced them as carpet-baggers.— Wash
ington Chronicle, Bth.
At the close of the war thousands
of Northern men came South, pur
chased farms and failed utterly in ma
king good or paying crops. They were
not maltreated. Iu the pride of their
minds they,thought they knew more
about cotton, sugar and lice culture
than the Southern planters, not to
speak of the negro nature, and they
simply reaped in bankruptcy what
they had sowed in folly.
Finale.— A correspondent who saw
it all, thus describes how the editorial
duel ended : “After the interchange of
a few words Edwards concluded to
make the thing up. He approached
Foster, who was coolly awaiting the
issue, pistol in hand, and shook hands.
There was mutual congratulation all
round, and it was interesting to see the
brotherly love displayed by tho men
who two minutes before bad faced each
other with death in their eyes. Tho
genial Bourbon was produced, and the
agreeable termination to tho affair
toasted. A short time was spent on
tho grass in mutual explanation, and
everything was forgotten and for
given.” Chorus—“ We’ll drown it in
the bowl, my boy, we’ll drown it in the
bowl!”
Ships.—A great increase of shipping
is noted throughout the world. Ac
cording to a report presented to the
LondoD Statistical Society the total
tonnage of the great nations indicates
their relative rank as follows : First,
Great Britain ; second, the United
States; third, Sweden and Norway ;
fourth, Italy; fifth, Germany; and
sixth, France. In 1874 the total ton
nage was 5,226,886.
Grant.-— The newspaper Bohemian,
who plays the spy on Grant’s whiskey
bottle, says the President has been on
another spree. Well, what of it ? The
more sprees he gets on, the slimmer his
chances to be elected for a third term,
and the sooner he will get to that con
dition prayed for by his enemies. There
are big rascals who never get on sprees.

hear of “religious riots.” The men who
engage in them generally have as much

It must make a woman feel moan to take

upbraid her husband, and then be saved by

The Philadelphia Times says that Emir
SadiJussef Zia Alkhalidi has vacated the

“Bishop Gilbert Haven, of the Metho

The Song of the Period sentimentalizes
over senility in all its phases. Not merely

has had its day, and so has “Darling, now
tny eyesight fails,” we hope. But the next
tiling may be “Why, dear, our feet so
