HOW PRESIDENT DAVIS WAS MANA
CLED.
Jerome Titlow, late captain Third
Pennsylvania regiment artillery, has
published a letter telling how President
Davis was put in irons while he was a
prisoner in Fort Monroe. It was done
by order of Gen. Miles, who did it of
his own volition. Capt. Titlow says lie
was the officer ordered to iron him and
did so.
Mr. Davis violently resisted, striking
one soldier a heavy blow that nearly
felled him. The soldier gathered his
irons and was about to strike the prisoner
when Capt Titlow interfered and prevent
edit Mr. Davis tried to wrench a musket
from the hands of another soldier. Four
other men were ordered in. Mr. Davis
struck the foremost of these, but they
all rushed upon and overpowered him.
The captain says:
Davis showed unnatural strength; It was
could do to hold him while
the blacksmith riveted the clasp around his
xler, has been captured in the City of
Mexico and is being held by the police
for extradition.
Singing hymns is said to be the latest

Cholera is raging at Mecca, there
being 140 deaths Saturday and 380 Sun

among Turkish pilgrims.
The Georgia State Alliance will meet
in Atlanta on August 10, and the third
party question will probably take a lead
ing part in the proceedings.
Tiiere is a rumor in Washington to
the effect that President Ilarrison has
some thought of visiting Bar Ilarbor be
fore the close of tho summer.
The Philadelphia Press says that tho
Democratic rooster will give ptyce to a

a crow would bo a sorry sort of a roos

Russia has indefinitely suspended her
persecution of tho Hebrews, and the
press has been ordered to publish noth

Major O. A. Bacon pronounces ab

Congress. lie cannot afford to abandon

The Atlanta Herald, the new evening
paper of the Gate City, has failed to turn
up at this office yet. Is the demand
greater than the capacity of the big new

off?
Says tho witty editor of tho Darien

The trouble In Tennessee between the
governor and the miners is about to be
adjusted. Tho governor lias agreed to
call a session of the legislature and leave
the matter with them. The law which
leased tlio convicts is obnoxious to the
working people of Tennessee, ami a
strong effort >vill be made to have it re
pealed at the special session to be held.
Congressman Bkltzuoovku, who
represented Pennsylvania at the Tam
many Fourth of July demonstration,
said, in reply to tho question whether
Cleveland or Hill is Tammany’s choice:
“Tammany is unquestionably for Cleve
land, and while Hill has many friends
there, tho preponderance is for Cleve
land, nlno to one. Tho issue iu the
next campaign will be tariff, pure and
passed out. Davis lay perfectly motionless.
Just as I was going out Davis raised from his
cot and threw his feet to the floor, and with
the clanging of the chains he gave way. I
will say here that It was anything but a
pleasant sight to see a man like Jefferson
Davis shedding tears, but not one word had
he to say.
This is very touching and very dis
graceful. There was not the slightest
occasion for manacling a feeble old man,
shut in a strong fortress and guarded by
hundreds of men perhaps. It was sim
ply an act of depravity and brutality.
When Capt. Titlow first came to ex
ecute the brutal order President Davis
protested and begged for delay, and
asked to see Miles, but he bad left for
Washington. Davis said it was obvious
that there could be no necessity for such
an order to make his imprisonment
secure. I said: “My duty is to execute
this order and it is folly to resist.”
Davis’s answer was that he was a soldier
and knew liow to die and pointing to a
sentinel, said: “Let your men shoot me
at once.”
Dr. Craven, the northern writer, told
the truth in his book. Mrs. Davis lias
treated Miles precisely as he deserved.
The south will not forget Miles.
OEN. JACKSON’S MONUMENT.
A splendid monument was unveiled at
Lexington, Va , on the 21st, to the mem
ory of Stonewall Jackson.
The sculptor is a Virginian, Edward
V. Valentine, who designed the Lee
monument. The statuo is of bronze, he
roic in size, and portrays Gen. Jackson
with uncovered head leaning on his
sword and left leg, and looking out upon
a field of battle. Iu the right hand, at
his side, is a field glass. The figure is
clad In the full uniform of a confederate
lieutenant general, with the’gold lace on
the sleeves distinctly visible, and with
heavy military boots and spurs. The
carriage is easy, and the attitude is ono
of close observation, with the right foot
advanced, ready and alert for instant,
vigorous action. The scabbard of the
sword upon which the gauntleted left
baud rests, bears tho letters “U. S.” a
historical fact, as it was modeled from
Gen. Jackson’s own sword. The statuo
proper measures eight feet, and sur
mounts a granite pedestal ten and ahalf
feet high, consisting of a baso course
die and capital.
MURDER AND INSURANCE.
An English court decides in the cose
of Mrs. May brick that a wife who lias
murdered hor husband is not entitled to
tbe insurance money on Ids life.
A somewhat similar case was recently
decided by the court of appeals of New
York. A boy of sixteen, knowing that
his grandfather had made a will in his
favor, killed the old man to get posses
sion of the property. lie was convicted
of murder iu the second degree and sent
to tho state reformatory. Nevertheless
a claim to the property under the will
was prosecuted in Ids behalf. Tho lower
courts and two judges of the court of
appeals maintained that the boy was en
titled to it. But the majority of the
latter tribunal decided otherwise. “To
hold,” said Judge Earl, “that a legal
title to property may bo acquired by
murder would be a reproach to tho juris
prudence of our state and an offence
against public policy.”
That is evidently the reasoning which
the judges adopted In the Maybriek case.
Kxtxact from the speech of Con
gressman Crisp before Tammany Hall
on the 4tli: “Because it is tho duty of
the citizens to support tho government,
it does not follow that the government
should support the citizens. Tho state
should protect the citizen in his life, his
liberty and his property. The citizen
should contribute of his substance an
amount sufficient to enable the state to
A RINGING SPEECH.
! On the occasion of the unveiling of the
statue of Stonewall Jackson in Lexing
ton, Virginia, Tuesday, Gen. Jubal A.
Early was the orator of the day. The
venerable chieftain delivered an elo
quent eulogy of his old friend and com
rade, and concluded with these ringing
words which should stir the heart of
every Confederate veteran:
“Let me conclude by saying, and let every
bonest-hearted Confederate who fought
bravely in the war aay, If I should ever apol
ogia for any part or action taken by me in
the war may the lightning of a righteous
heaven blast me from the earth and mav I
be considered a spawn of tbe earth by all
bonest men.”
The Confederacy, indeed, went down
overpowered by the numbers and the
resources of the Fedeial government;its
flag no longer waves among the ensigns
of the earth; but the principles upon
which it was founded survive in the Con
stitution of the United States, and they
are gaining a firmer footing throughout
the Union than they have had for sixty
years.
Defeat is not dishonor; the loss of a
battle is by no means the extinction of a
principle. The Union soldiers fought
for tbe Union, constitution or no con
stitution; the Confederates fought for
the constitution, for principles, even, if
need be, to the dissolution of the Union.
The latter lost the battle in tbe field;
their plan to preserve the principles of
the constitution was overthrown. But
their cause is the cause of liberty; their
principles constitute the foundation of
the Republic if not of the Union; but
let us trust that they may underlie both.
Men who fought thus can never re
pent until they become traitors; they
can never apologize until their manhood
has withered and dried out of them.
EVIDENTLY NOT TRUE.
The St. Louis Republic has the fol
lowing:
The Associated Press credits the following
to Governor Campbell, ot Ohio:
If I were to offer any criticism on the part
of the platform, it would be that if it declares
In favor of the unlimited coinage of both na
tive and foreign silver, I believe it would
have been better to have lestricted the coin
age to native silver. That would have been
far enough lo go at present.
1o believe this, it must be believed that
Governor Campbell has no more sense now
than Hancock had when he backed off his
platform In IMS') It l« not reasonable that
Governor Campbell would cut his po itlca!
throat past ho je at the outset of the cam
paign. The Associated Press in Ohio Is un
der Republican control, and until he Indor
ses this report over his own sig
nature, it will be considered a canard.
Governor Campbell is too good a poli
tician and too good a. Democrat to wob
ble in this fashion on a plank of the
platform on which lie was nominated.
The statement that ho said such a thing
is altogether fishy; but if it is true it
does not set the governor down as in
sympathy with the goldites, but as pre
scribing a very moderate qualification
for sllvor coinage.
The campaign In Ohio will be pitched
mainly on the tariff. That is true be
cause tariff reform must necessarily be
a leading issue in all campaigns, and par
ticularly so In Ohio because McKinley is
the Republican nominee for governor
there. But the Democrats of Ohio also
dcclaro for free and unlimited silver
coinago, and of courso Governor Camp
bell stands on tho platform.
SAVANNAH IS FOR MR. CRISP.
It is the duty of every Savannahian to
use any influence ho has to help Judge
Crisp’s election to the speaker’s chair.
lie is the man for tho place, and we are
glad to see that ho leads in the race.
With Mr. Crisp in the chair Georgia con
gressmen will cot fair recognition. It is
a hard matter for any member who is
not a veteran to got tho floor. Georgia
will have a strong delegation in the
fifty-second congress, and, with Mr,
Crisp as speaker, and Messrs. Lester,
Turner, Blount, Livingston, Watson,
Moses, Winn, Pickett and Lawson on the
floor, tho Savannah river will get more
attention than it has ever had before,
because it will have greater influence
working for It.—Savannah Times.
The contest for the speakership of tho
next house is getting warm, ami conse
quently Interesting. Tho popular idea
of tho positions of the candidates has
undergone a change in Washington, and
now Representative Crisp is thought to
have taken the lead from Mr. Mills.—

Us. II. C. llitotv.v, editor of the South
ern Alliance Farmer, was arrested in
Atlanta Wcddesday by a deputy 1’iiitcd
States marshal, charged with violating
the law which prohibits newspapers
containing lottery advertisements going
through tbe malls, Mr, Brown’s paper
of June 30 contained a printed editorial
from the San Francisco Examiner that
deals with the constitutionality of tbe
lottery law and with the case of the
United States against George W. Dupree,
of the Mew Orleans States, and he ad
mits that it was paid for. The trial
i postponed until Saturday,
should not look to the government for
aid or assistance in business. He should
be self-reliant; lie should ask'nothing
but a ‘fair Pu^d and no favor.’ That is
the American idea.”
Mr. Sibley of Cobb has introduced a
bill in the house, which, if it becomes a
law, will make ilio holders of bonds and

His bill provides that it shall bo unlaw
