One afternoon iu the early spring of I860 two Georgia* women might have been seen strewing flowers on the graves of the Confederate soldiers who are buried iu our sister city, Columbus. They were Mrs. Jane E. Martin and Miss Lizzie Rutherford. They bad been distinguished, even among the women of Georgia, for the zeal and devotion with which they had minis tered to the stricken and suffering heroes of the Confederacy. When the cause was lost their love for those who had striven and died for it did not languish, and they gathered the first flowers of (he first spriug that suc ceeded to the fall of the Coutederacy to lay them, wet with their tears, upon Che biers of its lamented dead. As •hey walked homeward lrom thataeif- aipooledjntosion.4)f love-in the snn March twilight. Miss Rutherford said o her companion that she had been reading a German story which told now, in that couutry, the widows aud children of deceased soldiers every year gathered to place blossoms on their graves, and this noble daughter of Georgia a*ked why should uot the womeu who had ministered to the wants ol the living soldiers of the South, now that such work was no longer before them, organize associa tions to cherish the memory ot the dead, aud to set apart a day in each year for the decoration of their graves. As these two earnest souls discussed the proposition they met Mrs. John A. Jones, widow of the gallant colonel ol the Twentieth Georgia, who fell at Gettysburg. Airs. Jones gave her hearty approbation to the idea aud the three women thus aroused to enthus iasm, went to Mrs. Charles J. Wil liams. whose honored husband had die! in the service as colouel of the First Georgia Regulars. The result of the conference of this quartette was tne formation of the Ladies’ Memorial Association of Columbus, with Mrs. Robert E. Carter as president and Mrs. Charles J. Williams as secretary. It was the first organization of the kind iu the South, aud the correspon dence opened by its officers with the ladies of other Southern cities speedily led to the general* adoption of the plans suggested. The Columbus asso ciation chose the 26th of April a* Mem *rial day, because on that day the iast flickering hojie of tlte Confederacy expired in me surrender of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. The women of Columbus within a few weeks had so perfected their organization that Mem orial day of 1866 was observed iu that city in a most impressive manner. The whole people turned out to honor the m ;mory of their heroes, and to Lear an eloquent oration of Col. James Ramsey, wiio hao led the first Georgia Volunteers. Sucn was the origin of the custom whien has brought us together. Thus was this day set apart and sanctified to lie sacred of'j^ct with which it will be iorever sacrificed in the South. It w as nevitable that among a people who cherish their traditions and love the memory of the brightest exemplars of heir heroism ami virtue, a day oi memorial should have been chosen, nut as a Georgian, 1 am proud that Georgia women sugges.ed ami per- .eoted this blessed anniversary, and .fiat its first observance was upon the ■**41 of Georgia. All honor to those laughters of Columbus who established bis Memorial day! Ail honor to the women of the .South, who, for twenty- years, huve kept it as fresh ami fra- graut in their hearts a* the sweetest or the flowers with which they have made its observance eloquent beyond tin* power of speech ! It will be well for us if we may rise to the lull meaning of this day ; it we may recognize the beauty of tne silent influences which through a<l these years have gone torth from } under graves. Wherever to-day there lies the dust of a Confederate soldier, whether above it rise a shining shaft bearing the legend of lofty deeds, or me spot be marked only by the mean est of mounds, so that it is hardly dis tinguished from the common earth, to every true “Oul in this land for which ti e high and the lowly among those heroes accounted it sweet to die. such a place to holy ground. Nowhere among the monuments of men’s triumphs is there testimony of better d eds than theirs; nowhere among the in-mortals of sot row is there pathos m re profound than that which ^realties from the story of their strug gles aud their sufieriugs in a hopeless cause. The government for which they offered themselves a willing -acritioe vanished lik** a dream; the Jag they carried far oltener to victory than defeat has faded from the air It •nriched for lour years; thousands of our beat beloved he in uutueiess graves, ■scattered from beyond Potomac’s lancing wave to the Rio Gratide's turbid flood. is this all that resulted from their endeavor? in this tiie full story of heir lives, their passion, their tribula- ion ami their death? Xo, thank God l There is a higher application of the .no W ledge which tells us that not a voice that has sounded since creation ...is ever yet buried in silence; that uot a beam ever “hot forth from the “sun’s r*d heart” that is rot safely -tored somewhere iri the host m of na ure; am! that not the wildest sui hat seemed to fly from its track Into ■othingness lias failed to find another -here, or in transmuted form has given its elements to other service in the uni versal economy. Let our vision from this beneficietit conservation of physi cal power and we may apprehend the grander trutfi that In theaflairs of men there lives and operates a divine Provi dence which has never yet let one no ble impulse come to naught, one true deed utterly tail, or one hero e life strive and endure in vain. It is this riuinph of failure which has trans formed the despised cross m'w the mightie>t symbol on earth, which has made the fires of martyrdom the brightest becomes that have lighted the pathway of ihe soul. The poet clearly saw this lofty truth when he sai.g: Wbil° the voice of the world shoots its choros. its | scan for those who have won; While the trumpet is sounding tnumph.it and high to the breeze and sun uilad b indent are waving, hands clapping and hurrying feet Thronging after the • nrel crowned victors. I stand on the field ot defeat. In the shadow w*th those wlm ore fallen, and wounded, and dy:nz, and tr*ere Chant a n ({uiein low, place my head on the pam-Ln.Hted ‘ rows, breaiue a prayer. Hold the hard that is h lpless and whisper, •They o Ir the victory win Who ha\e fought the gooo ii<hi and hav** van quished the demon that tempts us within- Who have he.d to their faith. un*»eriuced bt the prize that the world h l.ie on l*:gh; Who nave dared for a high cans.* t j suffer r tf - gist, fight, if need be to die." So those whose memory we bless to day met death, and so from defeat wrung the supreme victory which crowns only tiie true and dauntlds* soul, not for the accident of success, but for the virtue of a worthy striving. Of this we may be sure that they will not find or need before the calm tibunal of history anv better plea than the simple ?tory of their deeds, of now they lived and fought and died. Xot only will they justify themselves, but they will win tne final verdict of man kind for the justice of the cause in which they fell. Xo statesman has ever argued for its righteousness with a logic comparable to their absolute devotion; no historian may present Ir to the minds of men with a power which can approach the eloquence of their patient endurance, their awful and uncomplaining sufferings, their ■steady aud unshaken march to death. That cause is as sure of vindication In story of the nations as those who made it gloria us are safe in tiie everlasting love and gratitude of this people. This day of all the year brings us to the closest contemplation of the great les- son of their sacrifice. It exalts ns to a fuller appreciation of their virtues and inspires the ambition to attain to the i tfood that courses through our veins, these knightly gentlemen who showed j the world how beautiful Southern • manhood may be. We are proud of j the past of which they are the chief or nament, and when we seek to serve ; our re-united country, in prosperity or in peril, they stand ever before our eyes, immortal witnesses of tbe power of patriotism. How happy was the conception of this anniversary, and how it has fas tened itself to the he.-trts of the people! It has been twenty-four years since it wag instituted. A new generation has come into being and ripened to maturit}, ami every succeeding year has witnessed a larger outpouring ot old and young, of rich and |>oor, to narticipate L; ceremonies like these. Thousands of the young who never ►aw a Confederate soldier stand to-day reverently over the graves of this heroic host, while beside them are men and women now stricken in years, the joy or whose hearts lies buried somewhere in a soidier boy’s grave. Generation is handing this day down to genera tion as a precious aud sacred heritage. Let us be thankful that its present ob servance is signalized in tbe capita! of < Georgia by a practical proof of love* lor the living heroes of the Confeder al* y as well as Us dead, and that the sun shall not set U;i«. day before its U-anis fall upoa the corner stone of the Confederate Veteranaf-IFrine. An E igihh historian, after describ ing the irighful slaughter in one o» the encounters between the armies of England and frauce soon after the ac cession of the Prince of Orange to the British throne, says: “The next sum mer the soli fertiliz'd by twenty thousand corpses, broke forth into million of poppies. The traveler, who on the road lrom St. Trond to Tirle- ment saw the vast sheet of rich scarlet spreading from Lamlon to Xeerwin- oeu, could hardly help fancying that the figurative prediction of tbe He brew prophet who literally aceom- p ished, That the earth was disclosing her blood and refusing to cover the slain.” Far different are the sugges tions of the flowers which shall cover these graves. They spring not here in natures blind chance, but are loving hands with benedictions over the dead ; they speak not of destruction and death, hut are emblematic of the resur rection ami the life.; .1 fancy that to the spirits which once animated the ihe dust within these graves this ex pression of tender remembrance and love is dearer than would be monu ments of bronze or marble, though they were reared until they did kiss the elouds. Let us, my countrymen, e steadfast inour devotion to this day. Let no lapse of time bedim its signifi cance. Let it continue to be a day for the uplifting ot our thoughts aud the purification of our hearts. Let us teach our youths that not in the dim legends of some antique age, nor in the clearer annals of classic history aie they to find the best models of the viihi*, s which make men truly noble, but that they see these in their fairest flower ami their fullest fruit iu the lives of these to whose memory we dedicate this day. And for the daughters of the South there can he among the throng of the heroines of history, or in the number of the enchanting queens of poetry and fiction, no figure clothed about witn so sweet a grace as the modest, tender wouia-i, who, in the day of her country's calamity, cast a-dde ail fear and went forth a miiitoteriug angel to s. rve aud to suotlm wherever a Con federate, soldier suffered. Bv the providence of God we have been led through ways that we knew not of.

The responses from thV delegate* of the different schools were encouraging, and we note the fac . that there were more conven-ions from the Sunday Schools to their church than any y ear prevtom. Dinner w»» announced, and such a dinner ! There under the large, and wide-stretching oaks, casting forth their shadows from rays of the king of dav, a pleasant reminder of the (bne an I place when our father Abraham v onr father in the sense that *e have faith in God) entertained tbe ■mgels sent by God, to warn him ot th<* pending doom < f the wicked cities of the plain, and at our feet flowed the sparkling waters of the Chickasaw- harchle, also suggestive of the e»er- flowii.g stream of the love of God, called in ihe Book of Revelations the “Water o?'

After dinner the convention wfis called to order of business, and a resolution was made and carried that we make this place one of permancy • to hold our annual convention, on the account of nature being so lavish in her blessing of making the place so ; beautiful and con venient one.

Mr. Bolies to a Northern man who came to the Sjuth from Connecticut after the war, bringing with him, no doubt, the prejudices that a majority of Northern people seem to (have against the South —prejudices that are based on a laek of iufoi (nation. Mr. Bolies is now identified with the interests of Atlanta, but when be first c.tuie to me Soiiih. his business carried him into every nook ami corner of tills section. 11c has been iu every South ern Stite, uot once, but time and again, and lie ha% had ample opportu nity to study tbe situation from every point of view, and to familiarize him self with every detail and ramification thereof. It is no wonder, therefore, that he is filled with indignation at tiie slander ous aspersions which Mr. Reed casts on this section, or that lie is moved to file a vigorous protest against tiie par tisan raucor displayed by the Republi can Speaker of the House. The attitude of Speaker Reed and the Republican leaders is uot only ag gravating but discouraging. Fur li*e sake of making a display of friendship lor the negro—a friendship widen every body knows they d<* not feci— they are willing to sacrifice the best interests of l*oth whites aud blacks by ihe renewal of a political crusade that can only result iu disorganizing bu*»i- ness at the South ami creating contu sion in every direction. Federal con trol of elections in the South has al ready been tried by the Republicans and without avail. Ail that w’as ac complished by it was to defeat tiie in tentions of tiie re-constructionists, and delay the advancement of the biacks. Tiie results ol the war gave the ne groes tiieir freedom and tiie ballot. All that the Republican -party ha- evpr given then i- in tiie nature of a heritage of prejudice that lias stood mightiy in the way of their progress and development. Ail that it can give liiem inrough the medium of par tisan politics is a renewal and revival of tiie race is-ue which time lias some what allayed.

It was my lot to l*e in command of a regiment in tbe battles in front o! Richmond under General McClellan, an 1 at Fair Oaks l was in General C-a- sey’a uivision Mippo ring Regan’s ami Bites’s batteries on the VYiilianreb; ig road, and thought at that time that i n* v-r saw a grander sight or more courage displayed than was shown. I think by General Feaihersion’a bti- ti e when he made those repeated charges on Bates’s ha tery thaX my regiment was supporting, an 1 the ground in front of our little ditches snowed with what hraverv and de- tenuination those charges were made. I think General Featl»er*tcn admitted in his report a loss of six huuUreu ami eighty-nine men, but finally succeeded in capturing Bates’s battery, and send ing us to the rear on the double-quick after losing nearly one-third of my own men. Such old soldiers, but citi zens now, will honor any military ability, whether shown by those that wore the blue or gray, ami would be glad U* meet each other as citizens or ex-soldiers, regardless of which side they fought on. I think if more of 'helpers published in the Southern States were circulated among the Nor 'hern citizens it wculd do much to allay that prejudice that still extois in the breasts of many enured by memory of r-ad events and loss of friends cause'! by that bravery all old soldiers so much admire. I am pleased to read in your paper that the Southern citizens are trying t* make their maimed and crippled s ddiers that done what they consid ered their duty, so nobly comfortable in their declining years. Your editorial on “Honoring Gener al Lee” to w hat caused me to mak- the atiove remarks, for I always admired him a*« a general, and Mr. Grady as an orator since his speech at Boston. Hoping tor more friendly feeling be tween the North and South, I remain yours truly, J. S. Belknap, Late Colonel Eighty-Fifth Regiment New York Volunteers. a northern man to speaker reed. Atlanta, Ga., April 28. 1890.—Hon. T. B Reed: Dear Sir—I read in the Constitution your recent partisan Pitts burg speech, aud dropping my paper, ponder as to whether I should give way to my aroused indignation and make reply, or believe it by silence. Your course will be the ultimate des truction, and not tbe “continued vic tory we must have,” foi your party you talk about. My indignation, however, will not down, and the first thought that comes to my mind is to beseech you for tbe sake of humanity, for tbe'sake of tbe black race, for the sake ot our common country, for the sake of my people up in Connecticut, for the sake of my peo ple here in the South, both Northern and Southern born, to bold yonr “si lence” Iu the future as you say you have in tbe past, and thereby let tbe people continue to work out their sal vation, peace and prosperity as they are now doing, and, thank God! will continue to do, whether your partisan tongue continues to wag about tbe South or not. Mr. Speaker, after reading, will you be taught a lesson from it, in the pre amble herewith inclesed of our Nor- preamble indorsed and adopted by a large botfy of Northern men, repre- renting every section, and now resi dents in the Soti-h. *ome o! whom nave had long experience in this fa vored land. What a commenting on your Pitts burg speech, an *1 what |»o«tive proof that the “people” are. moving and that partisan politician* of>our sump must get out of the way ! We offer no dlseus-iou of the “fun damental principles” prated about iu your wil l talk of federal bayonet elec tions will never he, nor. if a reality, could it be, a solution ot your funds- j mental principles Therefore, not only yourself, Mr. Reed, but let ail who follow your steps or teaching**, cease to create a semi- meul or manufacture capital over the Southern ballot, for grant, ii need be, what you charge concerning it. Tell me why you st*i*k this promised land to sow seeds of disedrd when tbe world knows you have millions of purchas able votes in every State of the North, and that millions of money are poured out to buy them—a far greater crime to the nation and tenfold more demor alizing to the people and ballot than is the condition of things in the South. Too late! too late, Mr. Speaker Reed, to longer deceive the masecs of our in- **}iigeut thinking people, V«Hh *n*» South, as to any injustice or crime er ovour Southern ballot. Too late for y/Mir political schemes, for the North and South are alike mourning! My yankee brothers from Connecti cut are coming, aud from all section* are they coming, ami out of every one hundred ninety come over to our side. The writer would gladly invite you to come with the ever-increasing throng. Perhaps you would go back * toer, your views bioadened, and, with a charity akin to that of the great apostle of your party, Lincoln, be bet ter able to legislate for our whole country and better fitted for the posi tion you occupy before the nation.

In bygone days when the dread mes senger had borne from our midst a member of the bar, we were wont to assemble around his vacant chair in the court room, to pay a feeble tribute of fraternal respect to his memory by recalling from the shadowy p*»t hto ureda of worth, hto many virtues and high attributes of iniud and attain ments io hto profession. Borne few of practice of law, with renewed zeal and energy. In a short time he regained and increased hto former business, and with his fast growiug surplus means, ne embarred also in planting which with hto close attention, and fine busi ness capacities, wss with his law prac tice fast making him a wealthy man; but at the solicitation of friends, aud at a considerable sacrifice of personal Interests, he consented to beixitne a candidate against Chas. J. Munerlin, in the election for the Confederate Congress. He was elected and took bis seat in that body in 1863 Faith ful to every trust, he remained in the discharge of his duties as a Reprcsen- tadve ot his District, until the Confed erate Government colapsed. He then resumed the practice of fils profession, aud attention to agricultural pursuits with a vigor that insured success. I< he never again had entered the arena of politics he would iu all probability at the time of his death been among the most wealthy of the wealthiest, in this portion of the State. Happw iu his domestic relations, surrounded by many warm friends, and prosperous iu business, there was no reason to in duce an abandonment of private life for the ephemeral honors of political rank, but Whlteiy had defeated Tift and Wright successively voted for the Civil Rights BUI, and was tiro idolized God of deluded ignorant negroes who were in the majority in the district. Tn their triumphant political victories they us are left, like the withered, nearly t were becoming unmanageable and in- limbless and leafless oaks in the pri nieval forest, benJing over the decay ing trunks of fallen companions, who remember the tributes to Rugg, Hon. Lott Warren, Win. Slaughter, John A. Vason, Henry Alexander, and more re.cen Jy, Hons. I\ J. Struzier, L. P. D. Waireu and Lewi* Arnheiu. They nave passed away aud gone never more to return. Their memory to lading away like the sbHdow of a *hade, and but for the faded, almost obliterated, decayed, records of their actings aud doings, found in the ar chives of the clerk office, we would know them no more. Like the fleeting dream of night’s dark hours. The evanessent fragrance of fadiugfflowers, they were once here, but are now for ever gone. Such is frail mortality. We now come again to mourn the death ot one honored and beloved in life, aud who, though dead, still lives and will long liveiu memory. William E. Smith was born, 14th of M irch, 1829, in Augustn, Ga., whence . is parents moved to Macon, Ga., and m 1843 oi 4 removed to Albany, where he has since resided. His grand an cestors, on both father’s and mother’s ddes, were revolutionary soldiers, one •f [hem wounded iu the battle ot GuilfoYd Court House, and another kiiied or lost at sea ic tne naval ser vice. His lather, Samuel Smith, was i carpenter, and when he cauie to Al bany with hto family had but little of any visable menus, but being a man ot good practical, hard, common sense, by dent of industry and frugality, iu a lew years acquired property suflicent u> be in easy circumstances. His mother was a pious, good woman, oi considerable intelligence and strong mind. Both united in a desire to edu cate their only sou, by affording him very opportunity with all tiie means in their reach. Their devoted at tachment aud sacrifices for hto mental cultivation and preparation (or the luties of after life were warmly re ciprocated by his ardent love aud life- •oug affection. He never forgot cither the one or the other, but was ever a devoted, dutiful son. He received tiie limited education !»e obtained in an academy, taught by Seth N. Bouton, after he caine to Al- "any, consisting of the usual banches, geography, graoimer, arithmetic, and little latin, and then entered the solent. Whitely was backed by un limited radical means uuscupolously furnished in order to keep thjji under rail ou top, and was a schrude manag ing man of no mean ability. Some champion of Democracy was sought who could defeat him, and Captain Tete was selected. It was a wire selection, for he carried the district by a large majority, yet it was done by a great personal sacrifice on hto part, the loss of time, a great expease in money expended, the neglect of hto business, both professional and agri cultural. The triumph was complete and the people exalted in his success, but few knew or though of the cost. 'I he noble, unselfish, patriotic Smith bore the loss without a murmur, and rejoiced with Ills fellow-citizens at the overthrow ot Republican rule in tbe Second Congressional District. Soon after he took hto seat in Con gress, the ever odiously famous Elec- Lorial Commission Bill craftily design ed by its author’s to defraud Samuel J. Teldson, of the Presidency to which lie had honestly elected, and seat the Republican candidate, Rutherford Hayes, iu his place was brought before Congress lor adoption. The cool penetrating segacioU3 mind of Smith, accustomed by loug habit to carefully investigate aud analyze every proposi tion submitted to hto judgment for ac tion saw at once the motives and covert intentions of the schrude conspir ators in the Republican Sanhedriau: There was threatened colison—a gath ering ot armies—an impression art fully gotten up ot impending civil war; the people all over Hie country were aroused, alarmed and anxious for any peaceful settlement ol the exciting question involved; but Capt. Smith, uninfluenced by .hreatening appear ances or the fearful apprehensions of constituents, calmly determined, though differing with his colleagues, to pursue that line which right and duty uictated, regardless of conse quences aud the opinions of others. Under the menace of hto own political ruin he hud the manliness, integrity and firmness to loilow hto conviction* oi constitutional right, and vote against it. Like that nob ; e old Roman, Gov ernor Troop, he iared to do right and fa* s the obloquy. Few men, under the circumstances, would have had the nerve to do it.

C.nirli o ....... ii moro t ..f t li o nttrost tdmission a partnership was forme with L. P. D. Warren, who atter- aards became a judge of the Suprerim court. Their practice was mostly in he justices courts, and grew into an enlarged and lucrative professional business in a short time. Wheu Dougherty county was or- gtuized, at the first election for county ■ificers, in a closely con teste* 1 election, he was elected Or linary of the county, tnd held tiie office, ably performing its duties, until hiseieetion for Solicitor of the Southwestern circuit. As So licitor, lie was faithful, energetic and able. No guilty violator of the law- escaped if it was possible toeonviet,an.l no4nnocent man, though charged with crime, was convicted if a leisouable loubtof his guilt was made apparent. Hto administration of the office be longed to that old type of former days —iionoraLle, high-toned, vigilant to punish crime, but forbearing to the irnilties of impulsive nature. In 1860 he married Miss Carrie Wil iams, daughter of Reuben Williams of Baker county. In the midst of his duties is Solicitor, and a rapidly growing practice in his profession, ihe toxin of war sum monsed him to arms. Abandoning all hto bright prospects in civil life and tearing himself aw ay from tiie tender res of domestic love and affectiou, wl hout a moment’s hesitation or delay ie went with hto company to Virginia. I’he companies (of which the Albany Guards was one) forming (he famous Uh Georgia Regiment, commanded by he gallant Doles, were among the first o reach what was then suppose! and *i ter wards proved to oe tiie seat of war—the great battle ground of tiie Confederacy. He held the rank of 1st Lieutenant, and on tiie retirement oi Capt. Ruet the captaincy of hto com pany was conferred on Capt. Smith. The regiment was stationed at Norfork, then considered the port of danger, where the first invasion of the South .vouhl commence. Tne war however •pened in another quarter, aud the brigade to which he belonged remained for twelve mouths inactive. While tiie lut.es of camp life occupy but a small portion of the time of an officer, and tiie time to usually passed auTav iu dis sipation aud idleness, he, with tiie laudable ambition of one on whom the responsibility of command rested, de voted his hours of leaaure to the dili gent study cf military tactics, and made himself one of the best tacti cians in the whole corps. Tnat he had tbe virtue of a rare courage, in its utmost perfection, to undeniable; but the equally dis tinguishing and more beautiful quali ties of his heart accord him an eoii- Qt-nce among hto cotemporaries which none has ever presumed to question. Like Chivalier Bayard, he was saus pute but saus reproche also. He never naughtily presumed upon hto superi ority in rank, or abused its advantages, bur, deferring gently to hto inferior-, he made his way to »H hearts, and, with the virtues of a Stoipio blended the graces of an Alcibiades. Admira ble In council, hto opinions won their way to the understandings of hto hear ers by their native justness and strong practical sense, urged without pre- si mpiion, and enforced by that mod est deierence with which he listened to the opinions of'others. Always eager for gallant undertakings, he be trayed no disquiet if their results added to tbe renown ot rivals, but wae ever foremost in yielding to them the ju«t mead of applause. With his high martial attainments and natural qual ifications, both of mind and heart, his ultimate promotion to high rank was unquestionable, but the loss of his leg at the battle of Kings School House, in front ot Richmond, while gallantly repelling an attack of the enemy closed bis promising military career. He came home from the battle field All questions which arose fn the in- i vestimation were first examined by the by the crucible of elementary I principles and then the exposition ot these principles in the decisions of the courts. He had a great fondness for these investigations and always prefered them to the forensie contests in the court room. Law and facts were hto weapons and with these he fought his battles before the court and jury and hto only appeal to the feelings of a jury was in an array of facts plainly stated with close logical percislon. No theatrical intonation of voice or grace ful gestures, no florid words meta phors figures or pictures of the imagi nation or clap trap usually resorted to were ever used by him, but all was plain simple and addressed to the mind and not to the passious, not to pur- suade but to convince. His pleasant manners, social, genial, frank disposi tion, warm hearted greeting on all occasions just and up-right dealing and libera], generous acts retained hto clients and friends always when these convictions had commended. All re spected, loved and honored him, with out a foe he lived among a world of friends.

While lie was not a gifted orator, or debator, yet he was a deep thinker and good reasoner lor possessing a strong natural mind cult vateu by habits of analyzing every subject however ab- struee, presented for tils consideration —be was a natural self-taught reasou- er. He presented his views of every subject to others ii. simple-placed lan guage devoid of auy art or effort at rhetoric, without any play of words or beauties of immagination or fancy, concise and directs, his fact always arrayed and a clear logical way aud made oft-tiraea more lasting and deep er impressions than the highest flights of oratory could impart. Hence as a public speaker before the largo mass of men who are more pleased with round than sense he seemed tame and uninteresting when compared with such men as Hill, Gordon and others. He was & man of thoughts and deeds out not of words. His two speeches in Congress, one upon the bill for the Electorial Com mission and the others upon the Cur rency, evince in the first place a thor ough knowledge of the subject under discussion and a logical arrangement of tiie facts bearing on each point, made, in seutences compact wurds coucess illustrations forcibly put and all leading to conclusions almost irre futable yet simple, plain, clear and urged in a modest artless way. His argument on the Electorial Com mission bill, was that the constitution had prescribed the mode, manner and way of counting the electorial vote and Congress had no k power to chaage it by another course. The argument was unanswerable, though presented in hto usual modest way. No one could reply to hto impregnable posi tion and exposition of the plain lan guage of that immortal instrument. This alone, if nothing else, entitled him to the high encomeum of the im mortal Daniel Webster. “He who shall prove himself the truest among the true men of his country; he who serve it best, among those who serve it well; he on whose labors all the stars of benignant fortune shall shed their selected influence, will have praise enough, if, at the en'J.of hto political aud earthly career, though that career may have been as bright as the track of tbe sun across the sky. 'The mar ble under which he sleeps, and that much better record, the grateful heart ot hto living countrymen shall pro nounce. him “the defender of the Con stitution.” The God-like Daniel, Had, been living he could not have said more although tie may have done in more forcible language than did our little one-legged captain in his masterly soeech on the iniquitous Electorial Commission bill incite House of Rep resentative in 1876. The Currency speech is perhaps as an elaborate argument, a more com plete and fiuisiied effort than the one on the Electorial Commission. It was a terse, compendious, unanswerable argument in favor of that portion of the St. Louia|platform relating to the Currency and the repeal of tbe re sumptions act. He grappled with and mastered the most obstruce question connected with the Currency and with out any display of science or arts oritorical presented in a clear and lucid manner, the important issues involved in tiie discussion before the committee of the wloie. H* avoided anything era! plantations, wfcgfciMt could attend to them, with- gra*L strtetoeas and care.

His first wife having died in 1874 he married her sister, Mary William- and who, with three children by r « first and two by the last, survive him In 1886 he was president of the St-f* convention to nominate electors •** the State and delegates to the De*f> cratic convention at Chicago, w» . Grover Cleveland was nominated. Iu 1888, when hto eyes had com - menced to fall and his general healii was greatly impaired, lie was elect**' Senator without opposition from th. Teutli Senatorial District to the Legis lature of Georgia, but owing to hto fast increasing blind ness and enfeebled condition, was unable to participate much in Its deliberations, and cam** home before the adjournment com pletely prostrated. After a long lime he partially recovered, b it never re covered his strength or vigor, and grandually declined until he was con fined to his room, where he lingered until he died, on the 10th of March in the sixty-first year of hto age. A bright spirit, a noble man, a chiv alrous, gallant soldier, a true states man, a pure patriot, a genial, gener ous, social companion, a warm true friend, an honest, upright, gifted law yer, an esteemed citizen, as far as his fellow-mortals could discover, without a spot or blemish, has, by the hand of death, been swept away into that gulf from which there to no return, and to which there to no bottom or shore.
