The report in yesterday’s paper that
cx-Senator Conkling bad offered to buy a
re-election to the Senate for himself by
selling out Piatt, is very surprising. If
there be nothing in it, what could have
given it currency with the press associa
tion? If, on the other hand, it had a
good foundation, what a tumble from the
vainglorious pedestal of Senator Conk-
ling ! The man who flung his gage of
battle down before the administration,
obviously very confident that he could de
feat and drive it Into terms, is brought to
the pass of sacrificing bis friend and fol
lower and his penonal honor to win votes
from the Garfield combination, and that,
too, while attacking its integrity by
charges of bribery and corruption! So
great is the saerifi;e of personal pride and
self-respect which Is understood to be
implied in this action of Mr. Conkling,
that few or none arc ready to credit it.
It is pronounced impossible that it should
betrae. It is impossible that the New
York Ajax, who, a few weeks ago, tore
the Senatorial garlands from his brow and
flung them at his enemies, confident that
they and the whole State of New York
would falee the rues over the idea of his
leaving the Senate, should now be bar
gaining and Intriguing for a re-election at
the expense of the confiding follower,
whom he had personally influenced into a
similar piece of folly.
The compositor made us tell Conkling
to take to a cane. But neither cane nor
crutch could relieve the excessive imbe
cility of such a course. We thought he
should take to a ease and hide himself
out of sight and mind. Should tho news
of to-day confirm this story, wc say Ameri
can politics will not furnish an instance
of more shameful self-degradation, of
a more wretched blunder in personal
policy, or of a more self-humiliating eflort
to redeem it. It will figure in all politi
cal history as the strongest illustration of
the dlllerence between personal vanity and
fact. For Conkling’s ruin is due to his
Inordinate personal vanity. He did not
believo the country could get along with
out him, and actually staked his own
opinion of himself against the powers of
Federal honors and gold. Ho lost, be
cause no man besides Conkling himself
could possibly Imagine that be could, by
his personal influence, outweigh a hun
dred thousand offices and three hundred
millions a year in gold.
Bnt Conkling thought so when be
flung down his senatorial commission;
but when he wallowed around the New
York Legislature on Wednesday, begging
votes from the Garfield men in exchange
for poor Platt’s hide and tallow, the
marvel that entered into his head wa3
how he ever came to form such an exal
ted idea of his own importance to New
York and the United States in general.
He will never indulge that egotistical
fancy to so great an extent again. The
treatment of Conkling for the big-head
has been efficacious to (lie last degree.
One or Two Comets.
We saw Prof. Hnnter yesterday Illus
trating with a paper diagram why tho
one comet of the 23d is so often mi.i.VAn
for two comets as of the 23d and 20tb.
It is due, in his opinion, to the regular
diurnal rotation of the earth which, in
tte six hours intervening every day be
tween the appearance of the evening
comet, tay about nine o’clock in the even
ing, and the appearance of the morning
comet, say at two to three o’clock In the
morniug, changes the position of the
viewer, i. e., the stand-point from which
he views the same comet, and causes it to
appears as if in a different quarter of tho
heavens and pursuing a different track.
No astronomical authority, as yet, has
given any definite information rs to the
character and track of this comet. One
reason for doubting tho identity of these
apparently two comets is their difference
in.pppcaranca and size—the early even-
ingxomet being apparently much larger

Tbe Wheat Harvest.
The New York Tribune of Tuesday
says tho grain merchants on the Pro
duce Exchange were elated yesterday
because of favorable reports In regard
to tho winter wheat crop. Several dis
patches were received In regard to the
quality, quantity, and the harvesting*of
the crop in the West. The ditpatches
from Kansas were to to the effect that the
crop had been successfully harvested and
housed; that It is of better quality than
last year, and that the increase is estima
ted at fully 25 per cent. From Ohio it
was reported that the grain was ripe and
being harvested, that its quality Is good,
and tho crop Is greater than was antici
pated. From Odessa, Russia, and the
ports of the Black Sea, there were also
dispatches in relation to the outlook, one
dispatch saying, “Everything m most
splendid condition;” another, “Every
where magnificent.”
Tub Comet.—Tbe Vor/d of Tuesday
says: “The World on Saturday noticed
the appearance of the comet In tho north
west, as reported above, and explained
yesterday that it was not a new one at all,
saying: “After having risen at a point
west of north tho comet passes towards
the north pole and disappears behind tho
earth, or at least goes out of view of those
who have an obstructed horizon. Later
in the night the comet apparently rises
again at a point a little east of north.
The northwardly direction of the mys
terious visitor, moviug as he does at tho
rate of about four degrees a day, his right
ascension, which Is about the same as that
of the sun, together with bis declination
of about fifty degrees north, are tbe reas
ons given by tbe astronomers for tbo be
havior of the comet in tills respect.

“DldenltlM.”
The common pronunciation is “dtfkil
ties.” The real difficulties of life are great.
With most of us life itself is an ever
recurriDg struggle to overcome difficulties,
The most prudent and sagacious meet
them at every turn, and get up eveiy
morning to renew the struggle with a for
titude that is consciously weakening in
tbe joints as we grow older. Things go
awry in tbe shop, and then when we get
home difficulties beset us and call for new
effort when we want to sit down and rest.
We are short in the pocket and short
in the larder, and there are a great many
screws loose in the kitchen. The bottom
has dropped out of tbe meal tub, tbe well
buoket lias dropped into tbe well, tbe cow
lias broken into tho garden, tbe fowl
bouse has been robbed, the wood is out,
the molasses jug is empty, the children
sick, the horse has the cholic, the salt-box
is empty, baby has tbe toothache, cook
has given warning, and says if sho wasn’t
a speretually-minded woman she would
have quit long ago.
In short, difficulties multiply la our
daily pathway like stumps in a swamp
road. But we could all' get along with
theso difficulties, if it were not for the def-
fikilty we allude to. Son or husband has
gone to town—got drunk, and, as a mat
ter of course, has got into a difickilty, and
likewise,as another matter of course, killed
or wounded somebody. This is the kind
of defikilty that takes the hearts out of the
family—turns the old heads gray and fills
young eyes with tears of shame and sor
row. These defikilties put a mortgage on
farm income and earnings for ten years to
come, and breed mischiet and sorrow,
crime and poverty for generations.
And yet it is the first paragraph in eve
ry local. We all know it by heart. Sam
Jones and Doc Walden met in Jim Bar
low’s saloon, where, shortly after, a defik
ilty occurred, iu which Sam or Doc emp
tied three barrels of a revolver, aud then
the defikilty was to decide whether the
recipient would live or die, and to find
bail and counsel. That seems to bo al
most a routine report of a visit to town
and a consequent defikilty—tho most vex
atious, silly and needless defikilty which
harasses the farmer's cot—the legitimate
outcome of the bar-room and whisky bot
tle.
When a man visits town conscious that
he is likely to drink before ho gets back,
the taking of his pistol with him makes it
almost certain that a defikilty will occur.
The pistol is itself a pregnant suggestion
of belligerence, and its absence is an
equally pregnant suggestion that be did
not come to sboot and is not prepared for
a defikilty—for when a man has fixed him
self up for a defikilty ho is going to
have it.
We are of opinion that too much of the
responsibility lor theso defikilties is laid
on the whisky. A great deal of it ought
to be traced to native devilment. A drunk
or two only brings out the natural mean
nets and ill temper of the man. The Lat
ins say in vino veritas, and no good na-
tured or well disposed man is going to
make a glass of whisky an apology for
murder. It is a shame to any country to
have so many of these defikilties. Let us
move the abolition of the word, and* let
everybody try to put a stop to the prac
tice. If it can’t be done in any other way,
let the mayor of every town establish a
depository of arms at his office and re
quire every man to haDg up bis pistol
when he comes to town and take a certifi
cate of deposit for it, to bo held until he
leaves.
Getting; Richer or Poorer?
Apropos to that powerful conundrum
which lias 50 lung exercised the minds of
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens, whether
Georgia and other Southern States have
been making or losing money amco the
war, we find an interesting article in the
Columbia (South Carolina) Register of
last Wednesday. This article is, in brief,
an elaborate comparison of the crop
products of South Carolina, as shown by
the census returns of 18G0,1S70 and 1SS0
respectively. Omitting the figures for
i860, the Register shows tho following
excess of products in 1880 over 1870 at
cash valuation:
GAIN OX 1870.

As by statemant of previous articles:

Total gain on 1870 $22,508,230
Showing an excess of income amounting
to $22,503,230 in 1880 over 1870. Now,
this docs not prove that South Carolina is
growing richer, but makes the fact ex
tremely probable. So large an Increase of
income lias hardly been squandered in
Increased expenses.
A similar statement compiled for tbe
Slate of Georgia would be Interesting aad
profitable. Oar cotton crop, which swelled
up to 814,000 hales last year, at an average
of $44 a bale, will this year, ending 31st
August, have brought $35,810,000; but
that is all gone, and millions on millions
more, for hay, corn, bacon and guano, for
each of which a mighty bill is now matur
ing—a large part of which will not be
liquidated in a hurry.

WbatSorae Georgia Papers Say Abont
Hr. Speer’s Reported “Flop.”
Perry Home Journal.
It is reported positively that Speer ho3
had an interview with Garfield and entered
into a compact with him. Garfield, to com
ply with the wishes of Speer in certain ap
pointments to office in Georgia, nnd Speer
to vote with the Republicans in electing
tho officers of tho House.
This may be simply n canard, but we aro
inclined to believe that it is true. Be ns it
may, Speer has never been averse to creating
a sensation and gaining cheap notoriety
for himself.
Though a so-called Independent Demo
crat, Speer has several times in Congress
cUsplayed an inclination to claim feliow-
ro-
good
Georgia.
Behoving that Speer stands roady atony
timo to prove himself a traitor to tho Dem
ocratic voters who gavo him his seat in
Congress, we nro not afraid of the results.
A pronounced Republican can be more ef
fectually fought than a Republican who
professes to be a Democrat. An enemy in
the camp in tbo guise of a friend is a host
in himself, while in open opposition he is
bnt one man.
Lot the Independents in Georgia join in
thoMahone movement if they will, the
Democracy will be only the more solidly
united, and will score victories more de
cisive than over.
Some Courier.
Mr. Speer, in his step, has done nothing
but what every tnie Democrat expected ho
would do. A private citizen may maintain
his Democracy, and most of them do, bat
send an Independent Democrat to Con
gress and yoa may count on him courting
the Republican party, and soon ho will bo
found in its embrace. All he wants is an
iportunity, which he seeks nine times out
ten, and ho is suro to wallop over into
its ranks.
Latcreneevtlls Herald.
A man who attempts to rido two horses
at the same time has a difficult role to per
form, and daring his first term, under the
leading strings of Stephens and Felton, he
managed to tread the dangerous heights
without loosing his balance. He voted
generally with the Democrats, attended
concusses and was accepted in Congress os
a Democrat, although, occasionally voting
against tbe party to satisfy his Republican
constituents that be was an Independent.
The Democrats then had a clear working
majority in both houses and upon party is
sues bis vote either way was of but little
importance.
In the next Congress the vote will be very
close and the organization of the Houbo
depends upon the Greenbackers and Inde
pendents. Their votes become of great im
portance to each party. Wo have a right
to expect that in this emergency Mr. Speer,
as he claims to be a Democrat, will act
with that party; on that ballot each mem
ber must oily himself with one party or the
other as a strict partisan, there being no
question of principle involved. But within
the last week rumors have come from half
a dozen qnarters.all in'snbstance)tho same,
that Mr. Speer proposes to play Mahone in
the house. In other words for the promise
of certain appointments in Georgia, he will
unite with and aid the Republicans to secure
tho organization and vote with them.We do
not believe the story. The temptation to
grasp a little temporary power is great, but
we do not believe Mr. Speer, ambitious ns
he is, will be so carried away by his recent
success u to forget there is a future, in
which tbe honors ne may have gained in his
young manhood will be withered by one
false step that can never be regained.
Maboneiam may succeed for a day, but it
can never secure tbe confidence of tho
people it betrays or the party who receives
the benefit of the treachery. Independence
In voting upon publiu measures on which
men conscientiously differ is one thing, but
bartering one’s vpte and influence, is
another and very different proposition.
Tho latter will be condemed and execrated
by the good men of all parties.

friend, of whose society be is proud, whose
words he weighs. The idea of offering
money to such an influence jars him. We
have no doubt that if the subject could be
reasoned out it would be found that the
failure of mankind to pay for the last
year’s paper arises from a sense of rever
ence for the editor. When we revere any
one the last thing we think of is giving
the object of our reverenoe money. But
while the moral infiuenoe is proud of this
devotion it must eat or die. Tbe country
editor may grow warm in his work and
threaten Russia with his wrath if Poland is
not reformed, but in time be will want his
dinner. This practical point is what the
average subscriber overlooks. The true
way is what experience has taught Mr.
Smith, to see that tbe subscription is paid
in advance.
This is good for the editors and good for
the readers. The paper is bettor. Noth
ing adds so much vigor to tbe oountry edi
tor’s style as the knowledge that there is a
bag of meal in tbe house and a barrel of

good in reference to the editorial business
is none the less good in other business. The

A Lively Tussle for tbe Next House.
Washington Speci.l^to Philadelphia Times.
There is likely to be a very pretty strug
gle for possession ot the next House of
Representatives. Something like tho open
ing weeks ot tho extraordinary session of
the Senate may bo confidently expected.
To bo sure, os the roll stands the Republi
cans have a clear majority of two over all—
Democrats,Greenbackers and nondosoripts.
Such Greenback men as Judge Kelley will
vote wita the Republicans. Judge Kelley
has been sufficiently explicit on this point.
Probably none of tho Greenbackers will
side with the Democrats on organization.
Seven or eight of them, however, will un
dertake the job of swinging the balance of
power. Of these three aro notoriously in
the market. In fact it is not far short of
the actual state of affairs to assume that
the Greenback party of Congress is in the
market nil the time. They are purchasable
with committee chairmanships and House
patronage. The only object of their stand
ing together is to make a favor-
nblo dicker. ThiB is one element
of the Congressional broth. Another iu
the number of contested cases. There are
fifteen seals contested. The files of the
clerk’s office contain voluminous testimo
ny in these cases, thirteen of which are
from the South. Alabama alone has four.
One is from Maine and one from Iowa.
The House is nn unwieldy body at best.
With a narrow margin of two to half a doz
en majority a practical dead-lock may be
expected upon any andevery question upon
which tbo Democrats and Republicans may
divide. “It is almost too. early to speculate
on the probable oomplexion of tbe next

“but I anticipate a state of nffrirs at the

Mr Dayls nnd (he Confederacy—
What he Told a Philadelphia Press
Correspondent.
Washington, Ga., June 27*—This is
a charming little place of about two
thousand inhabitants, situated on a branch
eighteen miles from tbo Georgia railroad,
running from Augusta to Atlanta. It was
founded in 1775 by the father of General
Robert Toombs, and was tbe first town in
America to bear Washington’s name. It
is the spot where the Confederacy collaps
ed and the last conference between Jeff
Davis and his cabinet took place. A part
of the C’oufederate treasure was tliro ivu
into Toomb’s door yard and by Ills orders
taken away and finally divided among
General Joe Johnston’s soldiers. So far
as Georgia is concerned this is the place
where secession was born in the brains
and eloquence of this one man who still
lives here.
Tbe stories that aro told of the last
days of the Confederacy here are nuiu
erous ami marvelous. A photograph of
Jeff Davis and his cabinet when the de
cision was reached that they must aban
don their people and flee from the
country, would, if reports are true, make
a far greater sensation and be as great an
addition to the history of the war, and
nearly as great a financial success, as
“The Rise and Fall of tho Confederate
Government,” by tho man wbo hurriedly
left this beautiful little Southern town, in
tbo spring of 1805, and nine days after
wards, some hundred miles to the south of
this, was overtaken and secured,
Washington Is an interesting place, not
more for the reminiscences of tbe late con
flict, than for its present contribution to
its war history which can be gathered
here. It is the homo of General Robert
Toombs, the first secretary of state in Mr.
Davis’ cabinet.
GENERAL TOOMBS’ HOME.
He resides on a charming estate of 320
acres in an old-fashioned bouse built 100
years ago, in a yard filled with original
oaks of dignified mem which still stand
like guards about the ancestral home.
Toombs’ ancestors were English, descend
ants of the best Saxon stock. His mother
was a Miss Hugblln from Juniata county,
Penn., noted as tho brightest and most
beautiful of women. His father was a
revolutionary soldier and obtained the
land upon which Toombs now lives as ■
grant from tho Governor of Georgia in
those early times, and it has never been
sold. Its present proprietor-prides himself
upon the old place, tbe home of his ances
tors, and welcomes his visitors with
friendly hospitality and unexcelled gen
tility. It is his boast that a hotel cannot
live in Washington. He says “a gentle
man able to pay Ins bill and fit for a com
panion is always welcome at hisbousc,
and therefore a good hotel is useless.'’
His wife, who was a Miss DuBois, of
South Carolina, a Huguenot descendant,
is still living and vies with her husband
In lavish hospitality and the kindly wel
come a stranger is sure to receive at the
Toombs mansion. Sho is a beauty at
seventy.
“We have,been fifty years married,”
said Mr. Toombs to me to-day, “and have
celebrated our golden wedding here in
this beautiful town and in this charming
old home. My wife lias traveled with
me all over the world to every land
where civilization has yet planted its
feet.”
Gen. Toombs ha3 the reputation of be
ing a bluff, blunt, and by some, a vindic
tive man, but I read underneath all the
apparent rudeness good, generous im
pulses and great mental force.
THE LAST GASP.
“Washington was where the Confeder
acy died, I believe,” said I to-day, as I
was ebatting with this interesting man
upon tbe war and its results.
“Yes, this was the place where It final
ly served notice to the world that it was
dead. The Confederacy died when Rich
mond was evacuated. The conliictended
even before Lea surrendered. It is a
wonder that it lived as long as it did, con
sidering the manner in which it was man
aged and the men and policy which con-
trolled its aflairs.”
“Have you read Mr. Davis’ book?”
-“No, sir; I never intend to. I do not
recognize Mr. Davis’ history. It would
have been a great deal better for him and
the South if it had never been written.
Most of tbe people In this country regret
that it ever was written. The truth is,
the bulk of the people ot the South pity
Davis, rather tbau admire him. The
trouble with Davis was, and is, that be
had an exalted idea of liis own import
ance. He has som9 ability, but no nerve,
andbas not tbe slightest capacity for
mauaging men. He and I Lave never had
any quarrel, and I have not athlng against
him except his follies. He wanted my
ipU to put in liis book, but I de
clined'to give it. I didn’t want my pic
ture to go dowu to posterity in such com
pany. They say he has ono in the en-
giaving showing his original cabinet,
which makes me look about 10 years
old.”
“WE WERE NOT FRIENDLY.”
“Were you present when Mr. Davis
bold bis last cabinet consultation in your
beautiful town?”
“No, sir; I did not even invite Mr. Da
vis to my bouse—never spoke to him after
I left tbe service. Breckcnridge aud Rea
gan, of his cabinet, wore ray guests dur
ing their stay In Washington. Davis
stayed at a Mr. Robinson’s. I offered to
seud my carriage for bis use, aud to do
any other courtesy I could, but I could
not receive him at my bouse. When the
thing had finally bursted, I told Brecken-
ridge and Reagan to say to Mr. Davis
that I would get him out of the country
without trouble, aud any member of Ills
cabinet wbo desired to go. I said it
would only take five days to reach tbe
Florida coast, and I would havo a vessel
there to take them to some foreign coun
try. I do not know whether they told
him or not, but I did assist all the mem
bers except Mr. Reagap, wbo decided to
stay with Mr. Davis, and Mr. Benjamin,
who left the party some twenty miles be
fore they reached this point. It was a
sorry party, indeed, but what else could
you expect?”
“You were his first secretary of state?”
“Yes, sir; I was in bis first cabinet, but
ltwas not a very enviable position. I do
not believo that there was a man in the
cabinet that had a thousand dollars’ worth
of credit or money when the war broke
out. I had both. In Europe I bad al
most unlimited credit, and used to indorse
tbe drafts of tbe Confederacy to get funds,
and I bad to pay twenty thousand dollars
of the Confederate debt after tbe war in
tbe shape of a draft I had indorsed when
secretary of state.
“They had a queer way of running the
Confederate government. Memminger,
the secretary of the treasury, was of an
economical turn, and I understand he
used to hire niggers to print tho Confed
erate money, and instead of paying them
for their labor he gave them the use of
the presses at night to print for them
selves.
“In the army It was the same slip-shod
way—no one had any official authority.
Somebody said I was a general, and I
went and took command, but I never
knew It officially, and I think no one else
ever did.”
EMANCIPATION.
“What were the differences that took
you out of the cabinet?”
“I could not get along with Davis, or
with the other members of tho cabinet. I
was vindictively hostile to conscriptions
and Impressments. My policy was to sup-
by direct cc

There was no trouble about that. Our
people would have given their last dollar,
and what I wanted to do was to ship all
tbe cotton to Europe and draw against it.
It Would have glveu us unlimited means.
Couscrlptiocs and impressments kept our
people dissatisfied. There was no trouble
about getting recruits for tbe army, but to
drag a man away from borne and put him
in a strange regiment with strange officeis
over him mado him a prisoner rather than
a soldier. When I took a command in the
army 1 sent every cussed conscript Davis
sent to me back home. They put me un
der ai rest for disobeying orders, but that
I went on duty tbe
potion freeing every slave by tbe stroke
of the pen, as it was finally done. Davis
and the cabiuet neither had the sense or
the nerve to take such a course. It would
have made the success of our cause as cer
tainly as tbe sun will rise on another day.
Davis had n’t tbe courage. The proclama
tion could have been for gradual emanci
pation and then repudiated, as Washing
ton did the neutrality treaty, If necessary.
We had plenty of precedents for such ac
tion. I would have taken the responsi
bility, and ought as secretary of state to
have been allowed to, but Davis wasn’t
a diplomat, neither was he a statesman
nor a soldier. There are many queer
things about tho Confederacy which have
never been told. These so-called histo
ries don’t touch the bone. One of these
days I may conclude to write the inter
esting facts. No, uot I, but I will leave
the facts aud documents for some one to
write after I am gdne.”
Iu 18551 had talked over this question
of the abolition of slavery with Napoleon
HI, and with Gladstone and Palmerston.
I foresaw the war then, and waspreparing
for it. Both Napoleon and tbe English
government would have recognized us in
a moment but for slavery, and I knew it,
but Da7is stood in my way of meeting the
objections of tho foreign powers as ex
pressed to me; therefore I resigned. I
knew that our success depended upon
such recognition. When I went to Europe
after the war I was more than ever con
firmed in the wisdom of the policy I
would havo adopted. Yes, wo had a
queer government. I remember one day a i
secret agent of the English government 1
stepped up to me aud said:
“Mr. Secretary, where will I find the
State Depjitment?”
“.‘Ill my hat, sir;J.wd the archives in niv
coat pocket.’ And that was true, too
We were doing business on a very small
scale at that'tlme, and it naturallyseemed
strange to the representatives of a great
government that wo hadn’t a pretentious
building for our departments.”
“What do you think of Mr. Davis* dis
cussion of the constitutional rights of tbe
States?”
“I do not care anything about Mrl
Davis’ discussion. Wbat earthly sense is
there in discussing questions that aro the
natuial outgrowth of our form of govern
ment alter the war has destroyed them,
It is the sheerest nonsense, and will have
no earthly effect upon any section of the
country. Mr. Davis’book may be bought
either from a desire to do a char'
itable thing for the author or out of curi
osity. I do not want to say anything un
kind about Mr. Davis, because he has
never done mo any harm. It is fair,
however, to say that Mr. Davis’ book isH
very rble disquisition on the rights of the
States. I agree with him.”
“THE FIRST CABINET.”
“The first Cabinet was a queer crowd,
and had a queer history. I remember that
when tho government was moved to Rich
mond, and we got in five or six moro States
than wo had when the Cabinet was origi
nally organized, I told Davis that I would
not stay with such a crowd as he had
around him then. I placed my peremp
tory resignation iu his hands unless he
would dismiss the whole of them. He
told me he did not like to do that arbi
trarily, but ho said ho should deeply de-
gret my retirement, and asked mo to say
to every member of tbe Cabinet that as
more States bad been added to the Con
federacy since the cabinet was created, he
thought all ought to resign and give him
a chance to mako a new one. I did as
Davis told me, and told every one of them
exactly what Dsvissaid.and told them that
he told me to tell them. But all of them
stuck and insisted that Davis himself
must bring the word. The trouble was
none of them had a place to go to-if they
got out of the Cabinet. It was ground
hog or no dinner with them.
“What is yourjudgraent about the con
troversy between Mr. Davis and General
Johnston?”
“Johnston is right. He is as petulant
as au old maid, but he has got tho right
of the differences between Mr. Davis and
himself. The trouble is that Davis was
constantly interfering with his military
commanders, slid rewarding his pets at
the expense of better men. The real
gravamen of the difficulty between John
ston and Davis grew out of the question
of rank. Why, after the government was
moved to Richmond, I had a great time
itting Lee into tho Confederate service,
o was a major-general of Virginia troops,
and Davis had a pet by the name of Cooper
that he wanted to make the ranking gen
eral of the Confederacy. The com*
mission appointed by "Virginia insisted
that Lee be made tbo ranking
officer, and £ bad to go to Davis to
fix it up. 1 told Davis that we had a bard
time getting Virginia out of tbe Union,
and we would have to make some conces
sions to keep her out. Davis finally con
sented, and that fixed Lee’s position in
the army, but it was not done until in the
fall of 1 SOI, after we had been at war
moi* than six months. Settling Lee’s
rank offended Joe Johnston. He was
always In bad humor about his rank.
All these old army officers were as jeal
ous of each oilier as a lot ot old maids. 1
never cared a cuss about rank. They had
me under arrest for some infraction of
military rule, but I never minded that,
and went into tbe second battle of Ma
nassas wbilo under arrest. At Sharps-
burg tbey gavo me a division. Half of
these regular soldiers cared a cursed sight
more about rank than they did about tbe
cause iu which they were engaged.”
THE GREATEST SOLDIER.
“Which were your best generals ? ”
“Lee and Joe Johnston. Longstrcet
was a good soldier, too—one of the best.
He’s a radical now, bnt a gentleman.
Stonewall Jacksoa was tbe best of them
all. Jackson was the greatest soldiei
since Napoleon. He was a military ge
nius and had a power over men which
few men ever possessed, and yet if it bad
not been for me Davis would have got rid
of Stonewall Jackson the first year of tho
war. During tbe campaign in western
Virginia he put one of his pets over Jack-
sod, and be resigned and Davis accepted
it. When I heard of it I went and made
him recall it, else the greatest soldier of
the Confederacy would have been virtu
ally set aside at the very beginning of tho
conflict. There was a funny story about
this. The man whom Davis bad put
over General Jackson had been a mem
ber of Congress from Arkansas and once
challenged Bob Johnston. Davis was his
second and I was Bob Johnston’s second.
Davis bad one merit and that was of
sticking to his friends.”
“Senator Hill says the war changed this
government.”
“That is the sheerest nonsense. The
character of the government has not been
changed; it cannot be changed. I deny
even that the constitution has been
changed. I say that the 18Lb, 14th ami
15th amendments are not parts of tbe
constitution or the United States, and I
have no respect for the _ government as
now organized and administered, and if I
was in politics I would go before tho peo
ple upon that Issue. That is the reason
why I have never accepted amnesty. I
do not recognize the' government in Us
present shape as having the power to
grant amnesty. Of course I am only
peaking formyself, but this is my posi-

The Wsty to Calculate Interest;
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
There has been a good deal said abont
lawful interest, and wbat per cent, a man
ought to have for his money. I think tbe
correct plan would be to let those who
borrow money pay whatever rate they can
get it at, and wnen a payment Is made on
a note, let tbe payment draw tbe same
amount of interest, because the holder of
the note has the use of each payment till
the lastione Is made. In other wordsjet the
interest on each payment be calculated
from tbe time it was made up to the set
tlement of the note, at the same rate that
Is expressed in tbe face of tbe note.
