Ladies of the Memorial Association
and Gentlemen:
Twenty-five years ago the bom
bardment of Fort Sumter heralded
to the world the culmination of that
strife which had long been brewing
between the Northern and Southern
sections of this union.
A spark of jealousy and mutual
mistrust bet .veen these twopoitions
of the country, manifested itself in
the first legislative bodies that ever
assembled in the young republic.
And though, smothered for a time
by the urgent demands of common
safety, yet while smoldering in a
dormant staff*, it was only gaining
strength and accumulating material
to feed the fire of destruction when
ever it should flash its irresistuble
flame.
The authors of our government
flattered themselves that their wis
dom and precautions, in framing
the bond of union, had forestalled
the evils of sectional animosity.—
They boasted of a constitution alike
impregnable to foreign aggression
and internal disruption; which
would secure for its subjects the
blessings of liberty and the advant
ages of unity. With pride they con
templated its transmission unim
paired through countless genera
tions of posterity as a worthy type
of the motives and genius that in
spired it. But scarcely had these
doting authors become cold in their
graves, when the spark, which they
thought dead, kindled, sparkled and
beamed, darting its rays over the
whole nation, and rapidly convert
ing jealousy into hatred, and sus
picion into bad faith.
Wise men foresaw the portentous
evils and warned the contending
parties. But all efforts to restrain
its dangerous progress were equally
powerless and vain. The matchless
eloquence of Webster, and the
patriotic appeals of Clay and Cal
houn were all ineffectual in avert
ing the forthcoming storm. The
germs of strife were begotten with
the nation, fostered by its prosperi
ty, and nothing short of war, or the
destruction of the constitution could
•end their existence.
Veritably has it been said, “war
is a necessary evil,” for there are
•corruptions and vices attendant
upon the birth and riso of every
nation that can only be eradicated
by an appeal to arms. Revolutions
are the emetics that purge a coun
try of its constitutional infirmities,
and, though, for a time they leave
their patient weak and exhausted,
yet is only a temporary debility;
the work of recuperation will more
than restore its former strength
free from all chronic defects.
The parties to this struggle were
descendants of a common ancestry,
and received their first impress
from the same mould. But on fur
ther development their characters
and manners rapidly diverged into
very different channels. The pion
eers who laid the foundations of
settlement in the South Atlantic
states, and who pierced the dark
recesses of our southern swamps
with the earliest rays of an eastern
civilization, were Loyal Cavaliers.
French Huguenots and Prostestant
Salsburghers, all fleeing the tyranny
of the “old world” despotism and
seeking a virgin soil, where they
might plant anew the tree of liber
ty, and peacefully rest beneath its
•branches. They preferred the yell
■of the savage, the sting of the scor
pion, and all the horrors of an
American Jungle, to the bigotry and
oppression of European fanaticism.
But thoae hardships and environ
ments which our forefathers had
deliberately chosen served to harden
their muscles, strengthen their
nerves, sharpen their vigilance, and
made them a cool, intrepid people,
a dangerous enemy, a fearless foe.
But thero were other elements that
entered largely into the composi
tion of their character. Nature had
smiled upon the land of their adop
tion and endowed it with a delight
ful climate, a fertile soil, and
countless streams of sparkling wa
ter. She gave them a modern Arca
dia in which to foster the young
scion of Liberty. These advantages
together with an abundant supply
of labor soon made the South a
powerful and wealthy land. Her
sons, rich In the goods of this world
were not compelled to participate
in the struggle for existence. They
variety of products, and a rapidly ! surrounded by a small band
increasing population compelled | veterans of Gettysburg and
her sons to battle fiercely with each j tarn, half fed and scantily clothed,
other and with the native elements marching beneath a flag all tatter-
for the means of daily subsistence.
Consequently they soon became a
thrifty, scheming, economical peo
ple; prolific in devices for saving
labor, and adepts in the art of
merchandise.
These were the two people, who,
marching, side by side, under the
same banner, bid defiance to the
British Lion, renounced their oath
of foreign allegiance, and carved
from Columbian forests a peer for
the reigning nations of the earth.
With the common blood of both
they stained the grass on Bunker’s
Hill and crimsoned the waters of
the Deleware.
But the first gun fired on Sumter
seemed for a time to have sounded
the funeral knell of that Union
which had been in existence for
eighty-five years. The North had
long considered the existence of
slavery at the South as a relic of
barbarism, and Inconsistent with
American veneration for liberty.
Blinded by interest and a philan
thropic zeal, and emboldened by
superior numbers she denied to the
Southern states their rights and
privileges guaranteed them by the
Federal constitution. The South re
sented the insult and injury by
withdrawing from a compact which
had been so faithlessly kept, and
prepared to defend herself against
a threatening aggressor. The news
of the first bloodshed flashed
through the land with lightening
speed and inflamed the minds of
the whole people from the Potomac
to the Rio Grande. The warm
blooded southern planter, fiery in
spirit, imperious in manner and
long accustomed to sway authority
in his petty domestic kingdom,
cheerfully abandoned his home of
luxury and comfort, committed his
loved ones to the protection of
Almighty God, and linking his for
tunes with those of his country,
plunged into the struggle with a
zeal worthy the birthplace of free
dom. Brave lads! nothing daunted
by visions of death and woe, eager
ly dreamed of the forthcoming
scenes. The young volunteer saw
mountains send forth missiles of
fire that illuminated the skies with
a lurid glare.
“'Twus the fire-shower of ruin all dreadfully
driven
From his eyrie, that beaconed the darkness
of Heaven."
lie heard the dying groans, and
saw the bleeding limbs ot countless
thousands mid all the horrors of a
battlefield. Yet courage Incited his
noblest ambition, gave bouyancy to
his spirits, strength to his limbs,
and a flush to his cheeks. With a
smile, did that loving boy say to his
mother, or sisters, perhaps, a last
farewell on earth. But this ardor
and enthusiasm was equaled, if not
surpassed by that of our Southern
women. They readily surrendered
jewelry and ornaments to purchase
equipments for their soldier boys,
and like the women of ancient Car
thage would have given their tresses
for bowstrings had modern warfare
demanded such a sacrifice. With
toiling fingers they spent sleepless
nights in preparing garbs to clothe
them on the battlefields or shroud
them in death.
Oh, the heroism of the Southern
people! It seemed akin to rashness
and desperation. They saw the
mighty foe gathering her forces for
a leap upon its prey. They heard
her taunts and menaces like those
of the Phislitino giant. Yet calmly
and resolutely they marched into
her very jaws.
Soon the contending armies were
vicing to excel each other in pro
ducing death and destruction. If
the North presumed that the South
had exhausted her supply of the
milk that nourished her Washing
tons and Marlons, she was soon to
be undeceived. When the greatest
soldier of modern times, Into whose
brain Minerva had infused the
genius and military policy of
Napoleon, leading a little army of
lf>,000, darted through the valley of
Shenandoah, defeated in detail four
Federal armies aggregating three
times his number, and before the
smoke had cleared from his last
battlefield, changed his sceno of
action, flanked the army of the
Potomac, and by the thunder of his
cannon alarmed the authorities for
the safety of Washington. Well
might McClellan exclaim, “When
ed and torn, stood between his coun
try and the aggressor, an impene
trable barrier to powerful on
slaughts. Inch by inch, over the
bodies of their fallen comrades and
on a soil drenched with the blood of
brothers, these gallant remains
of Southern chivalry disputed the
advance of the enemy; suffering in
the Wilderness, bleeding at Cold
Harbor and dying at Petersburg.
Add to this picture the visions of
home that haunted these men
whether wake or sleeping. Strag
glers and deserters stealing the
bread from their famishing children,
a heartless foe insulting their wives
and daughters, a victorious army
marching triumphantly through
their once proud land leaving it
one vast heap of ashes and ruin.
But with all these rumors ringing
in his ears and all these fiendish
deeds crowding his dreams, the
scarred veteran clung to his shat
tered ranks with an unparalleled
firmness. Go not to the annals of
history to find examples of forti
tude! Point not to the Pass of
Themopyhe for the greatest display
of daring courage! Cite not your
children to Balaclava as the most
noted instance of a reckless charge!
But detail to them the countless
deeds of valor and intrepidity their
own fathers and brothers wrought
on Southern soil. And explain to
them how there can be glories even
in defeat.
But at last the contest was ended,
the war clouds slowly vanished
from the southern sky, and revealed
to the living remnant of those val-
liant ranks, homes burned, fortunes
gone, their land trod beneath a
spoilers heel with the brightest jew
els plucked from her crown.
of the our ambition has been turned, has
Antie-1 corrupted the lofty motives and
stainless purity of former Southern
character. Generosity, confidence
and chivalry seem to have given
place to avarice, suspicion and self
ishness,and should these latter traits
finally predominate, the South will
have been but a meagre gainer from
the greatest of modern revolutions.
In the name of the fathers of the late
war, in the name of the wives and
mothers of ’62, in the name of the
whole Confederate dead I appeal to
the rising generation, to honor the
memories of that grand people, by
resurrecting and re-ndoting the
brightest of their qualities. Strive
to regain those chivalrous senti
ments, and to reclaim from oblivi
on’s remorseless chasm, all those
relics of pristine virtue, once the
proud boast of the South.
Mothers, let not your children
grow up in ignorance of the story
of our war. Fathers, tell those hoys
of yours why you fought, and why
your comrades are now lying be
neath the sods of a battlefield. Re
hearse to them the daring deeds
and worthy traits of our fallen sol
diers, until their cheeks shall glow
with young ambition to emulate
their examples. And if we can em
body in our national character, in
telligence, culture, honesty and
chivalry, we will have raised a mon
ument to our dead more enduring
than marble and more benificent
than eulogies. A monument which,
when empires have sunk in decay,
and the conquests of war have been
forgotten, rearing its spotless sum
mit towards the stars of heaven,will
emit forth rays of sparkling light,
the glory of the South! the admira
tion of the world!

Nothing low, mean, or grovelling,

The North, on tho other hand, had
not received such a bounteous sluiv
of nature’s munificence. Her clim
ate was but a bitter change of fierce
extremes, Her soil produced a less

encamped at Mantissa Junction re

the Union. And still more, when
after an elapse of four years, which
had witnessed various vicissitudes

“All, realm of tombs! Itut let her bear

No nation rose so white nnd fair,
Or fell so pure of crime.”
How fierce-must have been the
mingling of pangs and joy, between
husband and wife, mother and son,
after a separation of four such
yearS!
During the dark days of adversity
that followed, there sprang up those
who condemned the South for at
tempting the war, and who with
held from the memories of her
dead the veneration they had so
richly won. Shame upon such im
pious hearts!
Had the southern people silently
submitted, without resistance, to
the insults and treachery which
had been heaped upon them, the
world would have contemned them
for their cowardice. Their revolu
tionary ancestors would have risen
in legions from their earthen
mounds and marble tombs to re
buke a degenerate posterity who
had so soon dishonored the richest
legacy bequeathed bv the veterans
of’70. The voices of Adams and
Henry crying for war, would have
resounded in their ears during
midnight slumbers. Thp ghost of
Washington would have appeared
on Vernon wielding a sword of in
dignation and scorn. They fought
for principle, and though unsuccess-
cessful in some of their objects, yet
they gained the esteem and respect
of their enemy.
When Troy had fallen,the surviv
ors of her pride and valor, turned
their backs upon the ruins of form
er grandeur, and embarking on a
perilous sea, sought a new land in
which they might rebuild their
shattered fortunes. But the spirit
of tho Southern people had not
all been crushed by defeat. Their
Troy had fallen, their land lay
desolate, their social state threat
ened with the darkest danger
that ever existed on earth.—
But with energy and will, they set
about to retrieve their losses on the
soil that had been hallowed with
the blood of their slain. Whore
weak bridges had been swept
away stronger ones were bulit, the
funeral pile of wooden houses be
came tho site of brick mansions,
and where small cities had been
rased to tho ground larger ones
sprang, Blucnlx like, into existence.

Our statesmen and orators have re
sumed their former influence in the
national council. Steam ships ply
her rivers, railroads traverse her
wasted battlefields, spindles are
buzzing and furnaces are glowing
all over the land. In shrewdness
and commerce tho South presents
to-day no mean rival for tho thrifty
North.
Washington, April 20. — The
United States Supreme Court to-day
decided case No. 11)8, Junius S. Hart,
administrator of the estate of Simon
Hart, deceased, vs. United States,
appeal from Court of Claims. V
der Act of congress of June 23, 18(58,
the Secretary of War transmitted to
the Court of Claims the claim of
Hart for 150,891, for supplies furnish
ed the government in 18(50, and
prior to April 14, 1861. Hart enter
ed the Confederate service and after
the war was granted a full pardon
by the president. The Court ol
Claims applied to Hart’s claim the
provisions of a joint resolution of
congress, which made it unlawful
for any officer of the government to
pay any claim against the govern
ment which accrued prior to April
18, 18(51, and in favor of any person
who in any manner sustained the
rebellion, and held that the pardon
granted Hart did not operate to set
aside the provision of that law, and
declined to take jurisdiction further
than to find the facts.
The Supreme Court affirms that
decision. In its opinion, delivered
by Judge Blatchford, the court
says:
“In approving as we do the rea
sons assigned by that court for the
view it took of the question of the
pardon, we do not depart in the
least from what w*as held on the
subject of pardon in the cases of ex-
parie Garland, Armstrong’s Foun
dry vs. Pudelford, and the United
States vs. Klein. If the Joint rest)
lution had said nothing on the sub
jeet of pardons, no pardon could
have had the effect to authorize
payment of the debt, out of the gen
eral appropriation which the law of
congress had said should not be
paid out of it. The pardon cannot
have such effect ascribed to it mere
ly because the joint resolution says
that it shall not have such effect.
It was entirely within the compe
tency of congress to declare that
claims mentioned in joint resolu
tion should not be paid till further
order of congress. It is now within
its competency to declare that they
may bo paid in like manner; as by
the act of March 4, 1877, it provided
that section 8880 of the revised stat
utes, which is the joint resolution in
question, should not apply to pay
ments to be made out of tho gener
al appropriation made by that act,
to pay mail contracts for mail ser
vice performed in cortaln states in
1859, I860 and 1801 and before they
respectively engaged in war against
the United States.

Atlanta Constitution, April 20th.
W. I. Hodges, a South Bend far
mer, blew a hole as largo as an
orange through his heart yesterday
morning, because he was tired * of
life.
The suicide happened about five
o’clock at Hodge’s home, four miles
from the city. Hodges was a man
of about forty-two years of age, and
had been a confirmed opium eater
for years. Two years ago his family
consisted of himself, wife and five
children, but within that time his
wife and four children have died.
These deaths prayed upon Hodge’s
mind so continually and constantly
that Ins friends were not greatly
surprised when they heard of his
tragic death yesterday morning.
Hodge’s has been living on Mr.
Milledge’s place in the South Bend
district. There was no one about
his home except himself and an
11 year old girl, his only daughter
and his help. On Saturday after
noon, as though preparing for the
desperate deed, he carried his
daughter to a relative’s home and
left her promising to call during
the day Sunday. Sunday being sort
of rest day with farmer’s help every
one of the hands on the place left
the farm Saturday afternoon. That
night Hodges was alone in the
house, and what he did no one
knows. Early yesterday morning
he arose from his bed and after
dressing and shaving himself picked
up a double barrel shot gun and a
long, slim piece of iron. The gun
was loaded—each barrel—with a
double hand full of No. 7 shot, and
in the hands of a desperate man,
was a most dangerous weapon.—
After picking up the gun Hodges
cocked it nnd reversing it so as to
bring the muzzle next to him,
grasped it firmly in his left breast,
just over the heart, and with a
steady hand placed the iron rod
which ho held in his right against
the trigger. A touch only was nec
essary to throw the hammer, and
with a smile on his face, which re
mained there in death, Hodges gave
the touch. He pushed the rod and
the rod pressed the trigger. The
trigger caused the hammer to fall,
and as it struck the cap a deafening
report rang out on the still, calm,
Sunday morning air, and Hodges
dropped to the floor dead.
The report of the gun was heard
by a gentlemen passing by. A gun
on the Sabbath was an unusual oc
currence, and in order to ascertain
the cause of the discharge the gen
tleman entered the house. The
door to Hodges room was standing
ajar, and from it emanated the smell
of burned gunpowder and burning
cloth. Following the smell, the
gentleman entered tho room and
was horrified at the tableau which
presented itself to his gaze. There
on the floor, flat upon his face, was
Hodges, whom he knew well. In
his left hand he was still clinching
the double barrel gun, while near
his right lay the piece of iron. A
slight smoke was rising from the
floor, but nowhere could fire be seen.
The gentleman, however, correctly
surmised that the smoko emanated
from Hodge’s clothing, he first call
ed Hodges by name several times,
and then receiving no response
turned him over. He saw at a
glance that the man was dead. His
clothing had been tired by the gun
when it was discharged and were
still burning. The lone witness ex
tinguished the fire, and then leav
ing the house gave the alarm. In a
short time several persons respond
ed and the body was examined. It
took no trouble to discover that the
entire load had penetrated the
body and passed entirely through.
Where the charge entered there
was a hole as large as a man’s fist,
and where it came out was one
twice as big. Every one present
knew Hodges’s sad history, and
none were greatly surprised at his
death. In searching tho room to as
certain whether or not Hodges had
left anything, some one opened his
memorandum book. On one page
was found a note evidently written
just before ho killed himself; a por
tion of the note howovor, had been
erased. Tho note read:
I love you all. My
dren In less than two years so
preyed upon his mind that ho be
came excessive in the use of opium,
and that it so unhinged his mind
that he killed himself without
knowing what he was doing.
