The Philadelphia Press referring to
the demonstrations over Mr. Davis,
says: “But we are not disposed to
apply any strict standard of judgment.
It is a harmless demonstration—not
agreeable in-its-tone to the loyal senti
ment of the country, but still only an
eddy of the moment and not a deep
and resistless current.**
The Atlanta Constitution says:
“Tne farmers of South Carolina have

more cotton at least cost they have ac

Atlanta Constitution, Hay L
An unexpected anil interesting drama
was played at the Kimball bouse yes
terday afterpoou.
The time was three o’clock.
The scene was the arcade.
The audience was. composed of an
Immense througof ladies and gentle
men, the former liuing the railings on
the floors above, and most of the latter
occupying the first floor.
Uolouel M. D winell, of Rome, was
the actor first to make his appearauce.
Without even ringing the bell, he sent
the curtain flying toward the ceiling,
add jumping upon one of the cushioned
seats in the center of the improvised
stage, he spoke these Hues:
“Fellow citizens: Without having
consulted him, and fully aware of lit*
great modesty, I propose that all those
j who are in favor of requesting that
noble gentlemau and gallant soldier,
Geueral John B. Gordon, to deliver an
address here at 8 o’clock to-night, say
aye.”
* A large part of the audience shouted,
“Aye! aye!** and theu broke into
cheers.
Colonel Dwinell jumped down from
his seat and, raising his hat in tiie air,
called in stentorian tones: “Gordon!
Gordon! Gordon!” The name was
taken up by many others, aud in less
tlmu au instant the arcane resounded
with frantic calls for “Gordon.” The
ladies on tiie upper floors looked on
witli intense interest. The men over
flowed with excitement.
Amid the cheers which succeded the
call for “Gordon,” somebody shouted,
“Bacon! Bacon! Bacon?’*" This name
was a!so greeted with cheeis, and then
a confusion of voices yelled “Gordon!
Baton! Gordon! Simmons! Gordon!”
“Where is Geueral Gordon?” ex-
chiimeif Mr. H. Dunn, 01 Cobh couuty,.
“bring him out and let us see
THE GREATEST MAN IN GEORGIA !
Hurrah lor Gordon!”
“Hurrah for Jeff Davis, we pan all
unite on that!” shouted a stumpy tittlfe
man, throwing his hat toward the ladies
above.
“Gordon! Gordon! Gordon !**
“Bacon ! Bacon! Bacon!” .
“Hurrah for Tom Simmons!”
“Three cheers for Lee’s first lieuten
ant !”
These, anti similar cries, went up
from the throng of excited men.
In the midst of itrail, General Gor
don suddenly walked hurriedly from
the direction of the Wall street side of
the Kimball, ami mounted the seat
vacated hy Colonel Dwihell.
Mew appeared to be insane with ex
citement. The old Kimball never wit
nessed such a scene. People on the
streets heard lhe calls and cheers, aud
rushed iu aud tilled every available
space. TJie cheers became deafeuiqg.
It seemed that Geueral Gordon’s mere
presence sufficed to breed enthusiasm.
Hats were thrown into the air, hand
kerchiefs were waved, aud hundreds
of expressions of admirutiou were lit
tered. <
General Gordon extended his right
hand, aud waved it back and forth.
The surging, excited throng was
stilled as if by magic.
Then General Gordon’s voice rang
out, clear and bell-like:
“My friends,” he said, “this is the
happiest day of my life. My heart is
full, aud it is 'ill yours.”
* He jumi>ed down iroui the seat aud
quickly disappeared.'
Again the cheers rang through the
arcade.
Up on the second floor, stanilhignear
a pillar opposite tiie elevator shaft,was
Hon. T. B. Cahauiss, of Forsyth. Sev
eral times during the confusion that
follow, d Colonel Dwinell’s proposal,
he had attempted to speak, but he
could not„be beard. When there was
A LULL IN THE CHEERS
with which General Gordon’s brief
speech was greeted, he shook his right
hand at the wild throng beneath iiim
and exclaimed:
“I protest against this outrage! I

Cheers aud calls for “Gordon.**

LIBERTY LIVES FOREVER.
I felt last night as l approached the
Exchange Hotel, irotii the gallery of
which your peerless orator, William L.
Yancey, introdueed^Hlb to the citizens
of Montgomery, anil ’commended me
iii language which only his eloquence
could wield aud which for exceed
ed 111V merit, I felt, I say again that I
was coming to my home—coming to

ous sentiments will live forever. [Ap

I have been promised, my friends,
that 1 shoqld not-be called upon to
make a speech, and therefore l will only
extend to you hiy heartfelt thanks.
God bless yon, one and all, old men and
boys* ami ladies above all others, who
never faltered in our direst need.
[Loud and long continued .applause.]
When lie, red red the shouts were so
long and loud that Mr. Davis had to go
to the front again. He bowed his ac
knowledgements and thanks.
Training the Children.
Chris* Wilson, London.
Children should be spared from sor
row as much as possible; their sun-
shiue of hope and Joy should never be
dimmed, so as to leave them without
even the memory of its glory. The
perfume of a thousand roses soon dies,
but the paiu caused by one of their
thorns remains long_after; a saddened
remembrance In the midst or mirth Is
like that “thorn among the roses.”
When an accident occurs, learn
whether it was through misfortune,; said:
Jeff Davis,” prevented the speaker
from being heard. He raised his voice,
but in vain. Finally lie left his posi
tion and descended to the first floor.
As he walked to the seat upon which
Colonel Dwinell and General Gordon
had stood, he raised both hands high
above his head and again exclaimed:
“I protest against this outrage! 1
did not come to Atlanta—”
A young man standing behind film
jumped upon the seat, aud waving his
hat about his head, shouted.
“My name is Smith, of Dekalb, hur
rah for John Gordon, the bravest sol
dier that ever put foot upou Virginia
soil! Hurrah for John Gordon, who
never yet was whipped.in a fair field
with equal numbers opposing him!”
The wildest cheers greeted Smith, of
DeKalb, and Captain Cabaniss was
agaiu unable to be heard.
A heated controversy ensued be
tween him and Smith, of DeKalb.
The great noise caused by the con
tinued calls for “Gordon,” “Bacon,”
“Gordon,” .prevented any but them
selves t from hearing wha$ they said.
A Constitution reporter forced Ith} way
within three feet of them, time as far
as the result was concerned, he might
as well have been as deaf as all the In
mates of the asylum for the deaf and
dumb, at Cave. Spring, rolled into one
big fearles- individual.
When pirtial * quiet was restored.
Captain Cabaniss and Smith, of De
Kalb, were' themselves again, and
were conversing peacefully in ordina
ry tones.
* A man standing near the register
STARTED THE BALL AGAIN.
“If Gordon becomes a candidate.for
Governor, i’L bet a hundred dollars
that he will go into the convention
with a hundred counties!”
This caused the cheers and calls to
be renewed.
Near bv a stout man was wildly
hurrahing for Bacon. Mr. H. Duun,
of Cobb county, approached him and
from 30 to 50 per cent, lower how than
then. The solution of the present dis
tressing situation and depression is,
that tiie people have cultivated expen

.Hillionairei»m Rising in Popular

New York correspondence Indianapolis News.
But nifllionaireisiii so far as it is em
bodied by the Vanderbilts has certain
ly risen high in popular esteem. The
half million given by the late William
H. to build and endow a college of
physiciaus and surgeons has been
doubled by bis heirs. One of his
daughters, Mrs. Sloan, added a fund
for a maternity hospital, and now the
four sous contribute a quarter of a
million iu a lump for a clinical annex.
Of course, we began to s.ttnnise right
off how the gift was apportioned, tor
we knew that Cornelius and William
had about seventy millions each, while
Frederick W. and George only |>ossess-

learned from an authentic source that
the richer brothers gave $200,000 ami
the other two $50,000.

who she was, ami found that she was
a Vanderbilt grandchild—a daughter
of the Mrs. Sloan who had endowed

Davis said:
It Is dimply gratifying to me to be

the other night after years of separa
tion. Some people in the room give a
sardonic smile 10 see two old 'weather
beaten men embrace, but our hearts
were young, Though our heads' were

memories thrilling ami tender, I have
felt that it were dangerous for me to
attempt to speak to you ns mjr heari

Jeff Davis aud Gen. Taylor.
Col. Pat Donan furnishes the New
York Sun some very interesting rem
iniscences of Jefferson Davis, among
which we find this one:
“Mnj. CJe;pe:it C. Clay.of Alabama,
whose husband shared Mr. Davis* im
prisonment after the .civil war, ami
who is one of the most remarkable
women tiie Softtb ever 'produced, gave
me the sequel of this elopement scrape.
Gen. Taykir never forgave either Davis
or his daughter until the night after
Davis led the famous charge of his re
giment of Mississppi riflemen at Bueim
Vista. About midnight an orderly
presented himself atCof. Davis* tentan’d
announced that Gen. Taylor wished to
see him at'headquarters immediately.
The two men had nerer spoken since
tiie one had stolen the daughter of the
other. Davis knew the passionate tern
per of the old man, and instantly con
jectured that the sudden ami pere
mptory summons boded no good to him.
In deep anxiety he hurried to the Gen
eral’s tent, eutered the door aud sakit-'
ed without speaking or moving a step
inside. The door was closed i i a mo
ment-. and ‘Ola Rough and Ready,*
with his arms ont-tretched, rushed for
ward and embraced his long-ignored
son-in-law, exclaiming, ‘By —, niy.
daughter knew you better than I did.
Forgive me! Forgive me!”
Tta<! Devil and Tom fVmlker.
Congressman Tillman, of South Carolina.
You may ask, who was Torn Walk
er? He was a Boston man,,who was
meaner than the devil, as was .proved
in this wise: According to Washing
ton Irving, our American Walter
Scott, Tom Walker was a Boston usur
er who formed a partnership with tiie
devil to (Recover Capiaiu Kidd’s treas
ure and open a broker’s office in Bos
ton on condition that they should di
vide the profits for ft long term qt years,
at the end of which time Tom was to
deliver himself up, heart,, body and'
soul, to tne devil as part of contract.
Torn had a wonderful ruu of busiuess
and made immense sums of filthy
lucre, but some time before the con
tract expired he was driving such
hard bargain with a poof, helpless
debtor that the devil himself got enrag
ed that any one should be meaner than
he was, and in his wrathful indigna
tion he mounted a big black horse dur
ing a dark, bowling storm, dashed up
to the broker’s office, and, snatc.dng
l’oin by the hair of the head, bore him
off to hell When a mail Is phenomen
ally successful and 'adroit in any busi-
tliat requires subtlety aud skill,jure say
‘lie beats the devil arid Tom Walker.”
He Get cue Appointment
When Colonel -Bradley B. Smalley,
the leader of the small but no louger
forlorn hope .of Vermont Democracy,
weut over to Washington receuUy, lie
carried with him the petition of a
Democratic friend to be appointed
postmaster in a little country town.
As the Secretary of the Democratic
National Committee, Col. Suialley
went directly -to Postmaster-Genera 1
Vilas, expecting to get hi* uian’s com
mission at once. The Wisconsin states
man has a notion that he Is a civil ser
vice reformer ou a high plane,-and
when he glanced at tiie petition aid
found only three names on it, he said,
“Why, Smalley, really this won’t do,
you know. 1 can’t do this thing on
three uamea. You must have a more
general representation of the Demo
crats of the town. I am willing
enough to appoint your man, but you
must get more Democratic backing’for
him!” Smalley’s reply was: “Well.
Vilas. I know Vermont from A to
Izzard. 1 know that town particular
ly, well. Ii polls just five Democratic
votes, and two of them can’t write
their names. What more do yon
want?” He got the appointment.
Mount Olivet (Kj.J Tribune, March 11.
i of th
o. 46.799 iu
John M. McDowell, one of the suc
cessful holders
of ticket
November drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery, which drew $75,000, has
invested a portion of his proceeds in a
tract of land near Olivet and adjoining
his home farm. He purchased 54
paid $40 per acre. Since he made his
war of the Revolution, and the State
sovereignty, freedom and independ
ence wiiich was left ns au inheri
tance to their posterity foreve . These
rights tiie compact of the Union was
formed not to destroy,. but better to
preserve aud perpetuate. W hoso denies
tub, cannot have attentively read the
articles of confederation or the consti
tution of the United States. The latter
was formed and designed better to effect
the purpose of tiie first.
THE EVENTS OF THE WAR.
It is not my purpose to uwell upon
the e vents of the war. They were laid
before you yesterday by that great sol
dier iu so able a manner a* to require
no supplement frolu me. They were
laid before you by one who like Aeneu»
“cuneta quorum vidi et niagua par-
fui.” Geu. John B. Gordon was a sol
dier who. wheuour times seemed dark
est at Petersburg was selected by his
Chieftain, Lee, as the man to lead the
charge to repel the besiegi ng army, to
make a sortie and attack in the flank
aud reverse, to double up Grant’s army
and if 1 may say so in his presence
failed, but his failure was due to the
failure of his guides to carry him where
he proposed to go.
CALLED AT APPOMATTOX.
Again, that man and gallant soldier
was the one person whom Gen. Lee
called at Appomattox wlieu he wanted
to know whether it were possible to
break the line that obstructed Mis re
treat towards tne mountains of Vir
ginia. * He answered that it was im
possible; that after four years of hard
fighting his division was worn down
to a fragment. It being theu impossi
ble to break the line that obstructed
Id* march to the mountains, Geu. Lee,
like Geu. Washington, without »now
lug perhaps that Geu. Wishington
ever used the expression said it' he
could reach the mountains of Virginia,
he could eontinue tiie war for tweuty
years. But wneii he found that the
line which obstructed his retreat could
not be broken he said t.:ere was noth
ing to do but surrender.
LEE’S WORDS TO GRANT.
-Be it rememliered that Lee was not
a man who contemplated surrender as
long as he had power to fight or re
treat, and when he came to Hie last
moment of surrender he said to Gen.
Grant: “I have come to treat with
you for the pnrjiose of surrender, but,
Gen. Grant, understand, I will sur
render nothing that reflects upon (he
honor of my army.”
Gen. Grant, like a. man, said he
wanted nothing that would have that
effect, aud that Geu. Lee might draw
up the„ papers himself. It is uot my
purpose either to disen-s political ques
tions, on which uiy views have else
where and iu other times been freely
expressed, or to review tiie jwst except
in vindication of the character aud
conduct of those to whom it i* pro
posed cO do honor ou $hls occasion.
STANDING BY HIS COLORS.
That we may not be iui*iu.derstood
by such as are not will fully blind, it
may be proper to state in the fore
ground tliai we. have no desire to feed
the fire* of sectional bate, while we do
uot seek to avoid wliatever responsi
bility attaches to belief in the right*
cousuess of our cause and in the virtue
of those who risked their lives to de
fend it. [Loug applause and cheers.]
Reveuge is not the sentiment of a
chivalrous people and the apothegm
that forgiveness is more easily to the
injured than to those who inflict an
injury has never had a more powerful
illustration than iu the present atti
tude of the two sections towards each
other. Policy, in the absence of mag
nanimity, wou.d have indicated that
in the restored nnion of the States
there should have been fall
tion of equality, privileges and bene-
fitsas they pre-existed. Though this
has not been tiie case yet, you have
faithfully kept your resinned obliga
tions as citizens, and in your impov
erishment have borne equal burdens
without equal benefits.
PROUD OF HIS PEOPLE.
I am proud of yon, toy countrymen,
for this additional proof of your fideli-
children’s children shall ask
* *1l then? wUl be
having charge of all domestic affairs,
both of person and of ph>pcrty, re
mained unchanged. To call it a*revo
lution is gross solecism, [applause] as
.-overeigus never rebel, aud as only
sovereigns can form a national league.
If the States had uot been sovereigns
there could not have been a compact
ofuuiou. [Applause.]
WAR SO- WANTED.
That the South did uot anticipate,
much le-s desire, war, is shown by the
ausence of preparation for it, as well
as by the efforts made So secure a
peaceful separation. The. successful
party always holds'the defeated re
sponsible for wkr.' But w*hen passion
snail have subsided, and reason shall
nave resumed. her. dominion, it
ue decided that the general govern
ment had no constitutional power to
coerce a State, and that the State bad
a right to repel invasion. It was a
laiioual aud constitutional right.
[Applause.] From the early part or
t »e century there had been prophecies
aud threats of dissolution of the
Union. These began at the North ou
the question of preserving the balance
of power aud culminated during the
war of 1812 on tiie decline 01 their
trade, though the war was waged for
the protection of sailor’s rights.
WENT TO THE NORTH.
In the course of years trie balance of
power passed to the North aud that
power was so used that the South,
lespairing of a peaceful enjoyment ol
their constirational rights in the
Union, decided to withdraw «from it,
this without injury to their late asso
ciates. The right to withdraw was
lenied and the North made ready for
war. The distant muttering* of the
storm were readily understood by the
lieople or Alabama. Gray-haired
sires and beardless boys, all unprepar
ed as they were, went forth to meet
trie storm ere it burst upon their homes
aud their altars.
NO LEADERS NEEDED.
It required uo Demosthenes to arouse
them to the duty of resisting the in
vader*, no Patrick Henry to prepare
them for the alternative of liberty or
leatli. It was the people, not the
leaders, who resolved aud acted. One
sentiment iuspired all classes, yet I be
lieve :bere were very few who did not
regret the necessity which left them no
alternative between fighting for their
Suite or against it. Mothers, wives
ai.d daughters, choking back their
sobs cheered them on the path of
honor and duty. With fearless tread
these patriots, untrained to war, ad
vanced on mauy battle-fields to look
!eath in the face. Though Alabama,
like Niobc, must * mourn her children
iu deat.i. yet is her woe tempered by
the gl *riuus halo which surrounds tbeir
memory.
DEAD ON THE FIELD OF HONOR.
For more thau a century after his
leath it is said that Phillip Delagone’s
name was borne ou the roll of the
Grenadiers to whom he belonged, and
when his name was called it was an
swered from the rauks: “Mort surle
champ d’hoimeur.” Long, very long,
would be the list which woiild contain
the names -of Alabama’s sons whose
valor aud fidelity would justify the
-ame res|>onse. To name a few would
lie unjust to mauy. They are all
therefore left where they securely re
pose, in the hearts of a grateful peo
ple. This mouuiueut will rest upon
the laud for which they died and point
upward to the father who knows tiie
uotives as well as the deeds of his
ciiildren am! at tiie last resting in tin*
land where justice may be rendered
which may have.been deuied them
here.
DUTY OF THE HOUR.
In conclusion, permit me to say
though the memory of our glorious
past must ever be dear to us, duty
points to the present and future.
Alabama having resumed her place in
the Union, be it yours to lulfill all the
obligations developing upon all good
citizens seeking to restore tiie genera)
government to its pristine purity, and,
as best you may, to promote the wel
fare and happiness of your common
country. [ Long continued applause.]’
Citizens of Alabama and ladies
[facing the ladies on the stand], for to
whatever side you may beloug it is
your sex that has been true always in
war aud desolation, we hear of the
valor and virtues and enduring names
of Spartan mothers, but tell me where
in all the history o* nations was ever
such a spectacle seen as was witnessed
in the valley of the Shenandoah?
OCR BRAVE LITTLE BACKERS.
How tiie tide of war ebbed and
do wed. Sometimes the Confederates
retreated and sometimes they pursued.
Those lieople who claimed to be our
brethren had burned everything ex
cept the fences .” [Ex-Gov.
Waits (interrupting): “And they
would have burned them bad they not
been stone.”]
Mr. Davis turned and smilingly con
tinued:
Add why do you suppose they Aid
Dot buru the feiices? Because they
were stone. [Loud applause.] And
ye: there never was a time when a
Confederate body of troops marched
lown that valley that the ladies did
not hang out little Confederate flags
from their windows and give bread to
the hungry soldiers. [Tremendous
applause.] 1 have promised 1 would
not speak extemporaneously and 1
will uot do it. God bless you, one aud
all. I love j'oti all from the bottom of
iny heart, and give yon thanks now for
vour kindness. [Tremendous and long
continued applause and cheers.]
THE UNION IN DANGER.
Jett Dari* 10 Site Front—A Call to
Arm*!—Tarn Loose the Dogs of
War!-Blood! Blood!
In anticipation of what some North
ern newspapers may say about the
preseut visit of Jeff Davis to Mont
gomery and Atlanta, and the ova:ion
he is receiving in the first capital ol
tiie Southern Confederacy, the Charles
ton News and Courier steals the wind
from the Northern sails by the follow
ing:
Bound the tocsin! Beat the long roll.
Let the beacon fires blaze ou every
hill from Penobscot Bay to the Gaft
whose waters washes our Southern
-bores—the Union which our fathers
formed is destined to disruption. The
Governors of the Northern States

There is uo time for delay. We cr>*
peace! peace! but there is no peace,
aud the next breeze from the South

of resounding arms. Jefferson Davis

Does it not make your very blood boil

intends to deliver an oration at Mont
gomery* ’he first capital of the Con
federacy ? Does it not make your
white livers shake with envy, hatred
aud uucbaritableness to know that the
ex-chief magistrate of the Southern
Confederacy intends to speak for the
lienefit of au association that has been
formed to erect a monument to the
soldiers who offered up their lives
upon tiie altar of their country ? It is
not enough to make you call upon the
rocks and hills to fall upon him when
you remember that Jefferson Davis

Dan,” said His Excellency, fixing
his stern, civil service reform eyes
upon bis debonnaire secretary, “dost
know that June, rosy June, is near at
hand?” And the stern eyes melted
with tender anxiety.
“Aye, my Lord,” replied De La-
inont, flipping to the breeze tne ash
from the fragrant weed, “I have ob
served that so the almanac hints.”
What then wilt do with the jugs
the demijohns, the bottles ami the
flasks that in exceeding number do
cumber our White House garret?
Const remove them, think you, with

“I shall not try, my Lord.”
What! and tills to me. -By me

ha! and ha! Why this is rank rebel

the Presidential neck like rattan vines
upon the sturdy pine, and a great som
bre, angry cloud o’erhung aud dai k-
ned the Central New York brow.
Dost think,” be said with tine sar
casm, “dost think I* mean to wed and
tarn loose a wife to dally with the re

Thou playeth with me indulgence

The gay secretary laughed a gentle,

“Not smashed, my Lord. That

“What then?”
“My Lord, each empty flask, each
