| THE LAST SPEECH OF JEFFERSON
DAVIS BEFORE A POLIT'CAL
CONVENTION.
Probably no tnan who lias ligur-
I in American politics lias been
more misunderstood, or more tuis-
rej resented than Jefferson Davis
It lieu tlie south, in defense of
what she conceived to he her con
stitutional rights, seceded, Mr.
D.ivis went with his section. And
then, as everywhere else during
I,is long anil brilliant career, he
performed his duty conscientious-
i v.
A gentleman who was present
at a political convention in Mis
sissippi and heard tilts last speech
of Mr. Davis, says:
“Some ill-feeling had been en
gendered and a happy thought
occurred to some one who had
learned that. Mr Davis was in
town, to request him to address
the con vent ion. A com m it tee was
quickiy appointed and. half an
hour later, the venerable ex-chief
of the Confederacy entered the
hall.
“It \\a- a scene never to he for
got ten. The tail, quaint, form
clad in black broadcloth, as erect,
as a soldier on parade, proceeded
down the haii to the lOstium and
paused to exchange greetings
with some personal friends. Out.
side the hall is heard the mourn
ful hum of the Mexican gulf arid
the ripple of its waters as they
iave the shining sand Through
live oak and orange groves t.lie
soft sea breeze murmurs. .Silence
pervades the hail Mr. Davis
turns, as tie does so a long red ray
of ti e setting sun falls athwart
tiiin and rests a« a halo about, a
head silver white, hut now ting
ed with the crimson glow of the
setting sun it was suggestive:
(lie sun soon to fide into the
blackness of night; the incarna
tion of the Confederacy soon to
pats away from eartli forever. As
this thought Hashed through my
mind 1 was startled by the sound
of that eloquently resonant voice,
t.liat had rendered Mr. Davis fa
mous. hut through which now ran
a note ot mournful patens. As
nearly hs ! can rec.'.il it. tie said:
“•Mr. Chairmen and Fellow
Citizens: All, pardon me, the laws
of the United Statpsno longer per
mit me to designate you as fellow
citizens, but 1 am thankful that 1
may address you Mv Friends, i
fee) no regret that I stand before
you this afternoon, a man without
a country; for my Ambition lies
buried in the grave of the Confed
eracy. Aye, the grave of the
Confederacy. There has been
consigned not only my ambition,
but the dogmas upon which that
government was based. The fa
ces I see before me are those of
young men, and had 1 not known
this I would not have appeared
before you. Men in whose .hands
the destinies of our southland lie;
for love of hor, i break my silence
to speak to you a few wi rds of re
spectful admonition. The past, is
dead, let it bury its dead, its
hopes and its aspirations; before
you lies the future. A future full
of goluen promise, a future full
of recompense for honorable en
deavor. A future i.f expanding
national glory before which ail
the world skull stand amazed.
Let me be-eecb you to lay aside
all rancor, all hitter sectional feel
ing, and to take your places in
the ranks of those who will bring
about a consummation devoutly to
be wished—a reuu ted country.”
BISHOP WALTERS, COLORED, ON
LYNCHING.
New Haven. Conn., May ti. — At
the New England conference of
the A M. E Zion church, in ita
session here to day, an address
was delivered by Bishop Walters,
of Charleston, S. C . preside d of
tiie Afro-American League, on
“The Condition of Negroes in the
South,” during which he said:
“In spite of all the lyiichiugs,
the thing for tiie good negro to do
is to trust in God, make himself
solid with the better class of white
people, and await the result.”
LOOKING for the dawn of peace.
Washington, May ti.— The ofli-
1 rials of the state and war depart-
| meets ate looking for a speedy
| collapse of the insurrection in the
Philippines.
i . Not. only is this expectation
based on tiie private advice,- that,
have come from the Philippine
commission as to tiie negotiations
that, have teen going on between
that body and the insurgent, rep.
resentativeg, but also upon tlie
successful development, of Mac-
Arthur’s and Lawton’s campaign.
No far as the ceiumission’s re
ports are concerned, they indicate
that the insurgents have at. last
recognized the inevitable break
down oT their struggle and are
simply striving, by protracting’
tiie resistance, to secure the most
liberal terms possible in tiie ercc
lion of a government in the Phil
ippines.
United States officials properly
distributed throughout, tiie is
lands in supervisory capacities,
charged to interfere as little a-
possihle with local affairs as long
as they are conducted without,
abuses, and a fe.v garrisons of
troops at strat.egetic points sup
ported by a naval contingent, it
is thought hy officials here, may
prove to he all that is necessary
for the effective maintenance of
the United States’ sovereignty
over the islands, while meeting
the native aspirations of home
rule. /
The Philippine commission has
been instructed on these points
and President Schurraan is espec
ially sanguine of the commission’s
ability to bring about the accep
tance of these conditions by Ilia
insurgents.
It is now thought, by well in
formed parties, those on the in
side, as it were, that the founda
dation of the new railway station
will be laid in Atlanta about the
year 2,ODD
