-A-XTGKJSTA, C3-A,: 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. The United Ftates Government is spend ing- a good deal of money on torpedo ex periments just now. Exactly wliat it in tends to blow up, however, has not trans pired.—[Richmond Enquirer. From present appearances it will blow Itself up. Tho engineer will be hoist by his own petard. Monumental. —The New York Herald marvels that tho people of San Fran cisco are talking about building a mon ument to Ralston. It will probably end, as such momentary outbursts always do—in talk. Religious Riots.—Now and then we hear of “religious riots.” The men who engage in them generally have as much true religion as a brass monkey has bowels of compassion. PERSONAL. It must make a woman feel moan to take poison, write two or three farewell letters, upbraid her husband, and then be saved by a stomach pump, A lady at Elmira, N. Y., whose husband has an income of SIOO per week, says that she can't afford to dress more than half as well as her hired girl. Hannibal Hamlin carries a sword-cane with him wherever he goes, but a dozen sword-canes wouldn’t defend him against the contempt of the people.—[Detroit Free Press. According to a Vicksburg newspaper there is not a broom factory in the South. If there was a market for broom corn farm er's could realize SIOO per acre by its pro duction, and the capital invested in its man ufacture would pay 40 per cent. The Philadelphia Times says that Emir SadiJussef Zia Alkhalidi has vacated the Arabic chair in Vienna and gone back to Jerusalem. What’s the “Arabic Chair?” It couldn’t have meant gum Arabic, for then he would have s'.uck to it longer, you know. “Bishop Gilbert Haven, of the Metho dist Church, is really r good deal of a nuisance, and it is not surprising that the respectable people of Georgia, in whose midst he resides, do notcour „ iiis acquaint ance. He is accustomed to preach amal gamation and carpet-bag politics in about equal proportions.”—Chicago Tribune. Commissioners pronounce .the Hermann monument at Detmold to be a very crude piece of art workmanship; Both in form and substance quite barbarous. Iu that case it is all the more fitting, for no ono can deny that Mr. Hermann, in his day, was a first-class barbarian, like Spotted Tail in ours. Never min 1, Don Carlos. Come over here, and iu less than six months you can bo naturalized and made a candidate for alderman on the Democratic ticket.— [Rochester Democrat. Never mind Colonel Baker, when you come overbore, Plymouth Church Radicals will put you in holy or ders, and won’t the “wuite-souled” women make a hero of you ? Tupper is the name of a family in Dos- Moi ies, lowa, which is noticed in tho pa pers of that section as worthy of attention. The mother, Ellen Tupper, has written a standard work on the culture of bees. Her sister is a preacher, her eldest daughter is studying medicine, and her youngest daughter is an efficient officer of the State Poultry Association. They are not known to be related to Martin. The Song of the Period sentimentalizes over senility in all its phases. Not merely such general statements as “Darling wo are growing old” will answer, but tiie concrete and symptomatic paitlculars must be noted. “Silvet threads among tho gold” 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 Cold ?” or “Could we climb the stair, Annie, as in the old days,” or even “Tell me, does your back still pain you ?” James Wharton, woaichy, but with a reputation for fastness, married recently. On tho morning after the we< ding the bride asked her husband to perfor u an office ot the toilet for her, made ne< issaryby the absence of her maid. Her li sbaml did it willingly, and when it was (included was astonished to find his prett; wife in tears. “Why, my own precious,” sa J he, “what is the matter with her hubby’s >et?” “O Jim mie, Jimmie l” replied the po >r girl, crying as if her heart would break., ‘ir you hadn’t laced a thousand corsets yoi never could have done it like that.” The Providence Journal e .ys there is a good deal of diss i isfaction' a the French Church at "Woonsocket, wit i the pastor. Rev. Father Berkins, an] 1 on Friday morning ho was hang : in effigy in the churchyard, the f< lowiug pla card being attached to the figure: “Rev. Berkins, Disgrace i o Canadians. Don’t touch me, I may explt de.” A largo number of parishioners hav; petitioned for the removal of Mr. Berkin , but without avail, and at a public meet ig it was re solved to pay no more mono; for the sup port of the church until a cli mge ie made. A remarkable accident v as that which recently resulted in the do; h of 11. Bal dock, an ex-member of the i ouse of Com mons and prominent Londoner. In in specting the grand residence of Alexander Collie, the absconding swi: dlor, he was very much struck by a mt gnificent con servatory, and in advancing to look at it more nearly, he walked atral mt through a large sheet of glass, which lie had not ob served, and severely cut o ie of his legs above tho knee, besides reoei /mg other in juries Erysipelas set in and he died. POLITICAL NO" ES. The Canton (Miss.) Mail sa rs thirty-two subscribers of this county to :he New York Tribun returned their paper: and ordered them stopped after re ding t to editorial on “An Orator Not Wanted at Winnebago,” which was a tirade against J 'T Davis. The Cincinnati Oomm rcu makes the remark that Grant is not inghe contest in Ohio. Tho hnquirer regards tliat statement as remark bly cool, when ilvery Radical State Convention intheUnioif lias indorsed his administration, and onlj one lias de clared that Grant should |>e supported for tho third term. The Courier-Journal has incurred the dis pleasure of the rural Dem* ratio press of that State. They are pitch eg into it hot and heavy, and blate right oi b in meeting: “Sold out to the bondholders ’ It is all bo cause the C-J. refuses to sup >ort Bill Al len and his inilation platfori . Forty pair of these sort of heels are i ow heroically employed kicking it out of tl 3 party. The Columbus Enquirer li is a word to say about Gov.

But they cannot as. be Governor for the next term, and we afe of tho opin ion that thoy will so effectually checkmate each other that either o j them will find it difficult to obtain th| nomination, Iu such a contingency thft position of strength will bo outside ofsthe circle of electioneerors. Indeed wo Ire not certain that there is not a strongiaider-cunent even now in favor of the re-e|3ction of Gov. Smith. It is generally admitted that he has made a most excellent |jovernor. It' any fault at all is found wiljj\ his adminis tration, it is of so trivial a character as only to show liow hard-run his oj ponents were for any objection Whatever.
