In the stormy days when the grtat Benj. H. Hill was a Geor gia senator in congress, he char acterized Senator Jambs G. Blaine, of Maine, “a hyena,” in replying to a speech of the New England “statesman," traducing and maligning the South’s dead heroes. The Southern papers caught at the appropriate pseu donym and for years the flatter ing title stuck to “The Plumed Knight,” as his admirers sought to have him called, by way of an offset to the other charm ing appellation. His ghoul-like conduct, in the case referred to may have cost “Hyena Blaine” the United States presidency, when later he became a candidate for that high office. From time to time, since Blaine’s day, the halls of con gress, in one house or the other, have been the scenes of similar coffin-riflings, by various small bore demagogues; but about the pygmiest of all the ghoulish gang is a certain Northwestern senator named Hey burn, who has over and over again disgusted the upper-housemen, of both parties, by his splenetic abuseof the South In reply to that foul calumnia tor,Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan, who, like many other Northern men, is A gen tleman, recently uttered the following words: “You on the other side are asked to forget the war, forget what you" suffered. Why. Mr. President, I would desp : se a Southern manjyho would ever forget the loyalty and the bravery ana the daring and the heroism and the sacrifices 'that people made in a catfse they believed to be right, -’ffihat isippart of the history of our country, written by the sword and attested by the gallantry of our own country men on every battlefield in the South. I respect the men who wore the gray; I honor their in trepidity and skill, attested on a hundred battlefields, from -Bull Run to Appomattox. Sir, their daring touched the highest mark ever.attained in patriotic devo tion to country and the valor dis-r played on both sides is our rich est heritage. But, sir, I do not know a soldier in the North who is not broad and generous and catholic, who does not look upon the Southern soldier living with kindness’and sympathy and at fection and good will. Their loyal devotion to a principle which they themselves thought dear will excite the admiration of future generations of men the whole world round, and is the proud legacy of the sons and daughters of the Southland. Sir, those men have cared for their wounded and suffering; they have asked no pension from the govern ment against which they rebelled. With a solicitude which we may wellemulate, they bound'up their wounds and nursed their own sick and dying and cared for their dead and rebult their own devas tated states ahd voluntarily bur dened themselves that we might pension our heroes and house them in comfort in their declin ing years.” H.

Miss Lawson And Mr. Grant Wed. A quiet wedding of interest was that of this morning when Mr. James D. Grant, of Jackson ville, Fla,, and Miss Maggie Lawson, of this city were marri ed. The ceremony took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs..,J. D. Harrison, on North Foster street, this morning at 7 o’clock, and Rev. F. A. Rogers, of the Foster Street Methodist Church offici ated in an impressive manner. The parlor was prettily decora ted for the occasion with cut flowers and potted plants and a number of candles tastefully ar ranged about the room shed .a soft light over the happy gather ing. The ceremony was opened with Wedding March, softly rendered two beautiful solos, “I Love You Truly,” by Miss .VirgieHarrison, and “What is the World without You,” by Mrs. F. M. Gaines. The bride and groom entered to the strains of Mendlesshon’ by Miss Virgie Harrison, and in the presence of a few friends^ Rev. Rogers spoke the words that joinecTthem as a man and wife. Thet bride wore a tan suit with hat, gloves and Shoes to match. Mr. Grant was formerly of this. city, with- Gude <k Company, the -federal building contractors, anc! holds a fine position with them now at Jacksonville, Fla.; where he and his wife will reside for the present. Mrs. Grant had been an im portant attache of the clerical force of the Coast Line depot at this city for several years. By her kind disposition and pleasing manners, she has made many friends in Dothan who extend their best wishes for a long life of happiness. Mr. and Mrs. Grant left tlis morning for Jacksonville, Fia., where they will make their home for a while. They will go from there toLaGrange, Ga., and from there to Aberdeen, Scotland, the groom’s old home. The above is a clipping from the Dothan Eagle.
