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 Fresh Chocolate Caramels.
