small thing to do, to be -sure, but a wish
that is genuine is sometimes worth more
than a gilt that is ungracious. As for the
old year, let it go. We could not blot out
its memories if we would. The new is
before ns, and for aught we know it will
bring us nothing but pleasure and pros
perity. If it should be otherwise, we
can at least content ourselves with the
thought that the sorrows that ring our
own door-bells likewise enter the hril-
ways of our neighbors. Wo may listen
in the night for voices that will never
more be heard, bat it is better to remem

that the new will bring greater happi

The recent decision of the United States
supreme court in the case oi Brofiey, ad-
miniatrator, is very broad in its apparent
scope. The facta in connection with the
case are briefly these: Two Penney Ivani-
ebs sold s Virginian some Roods in March,
1861. The purchaser of the goods died,
and the Pennsylvanians brought a suit
against *he man's estate to recover th«-
value of the goods. The suit was brought
id the circuit court of R»ckin$ham c- un’y
Virginia—a state ' court; it should
be kept in mind. The adminis
trator pleaded the act of the
confederate government sequestrating
debts to alien enemies, and the pay bum?
under that law of the amount to th»
state's officer. He pleaded, In other word.-,
the payment of the debt. Tr.e local coor
readily threw the Pennsylvanians ontol
court oa the plea set up by the adminis
trator. The court of last resort in Vir
ginia refused an appeal to reopen th»
case, holding the judgment of the Rock
ingham court to b<* “plainly right.” Th»
caae was then taken to the United State*
supreme court.
In this court the case assumed a
broader form—a form relating not »•
much to the validity of ante-wa*
wlaims, as to the power of federal
courts over state courts. The
federal court first directed the action of
the Virginia court of appeals tb be re
versed and the case to be heard before
it. To this mandate the Virginia court
replied, declining to take action on
grounds mainly technical, soch as that its
action had been final ia the premises,
and that the Virginia statutes expresaly
prohibited the issue of process on ap
peal, writ of error or suspersedeas after
a certain interval of time had elapsed,
which was the case in this instance. The
supreme court of the United States then
decided—Mr. Justice Field delivering
the opinion—that the Virginia court
should have reopened the cate;
but in order to get that court
out of a hole, the supreme court finally
decided to withdraw its mandate to the
Virginia court of appeals and to issues
new one addressed directly to the infe
rior court in Rockingham county. This
mandate to the R *ckingham court calls
npon it to reverse its.judgment, and to
give judgment in favor of the two obsti
nate Pennsylvanians for the amount de
cided to represent the claim upon an
agreed statement of facts, with interest
fromfmaturity, except for the time of ac
tual war, the judgment to be paid by the
administrator in like manner na other
claims against tho.estate.
\Vhat the Rockiugham court will do
remains to be seen; but if it obeys or
should obey the mandate of the supreme
court of the United S ates, coming as does
the one in the Bruffey case, there seems
to be no limit to the scope of the recent
decision except the pleasure of the fed
eral court ol last resort, either in respect
of debts discharged in confederate cur
rency, or ot coupons or bonds issued by
a state. Tne further development of the
case will be closely watched. It involves
millions npon millions ol claims that
have Jong been comddered out of court
and divested of all legal rights. The su
preme Court of the Uuited States is evi
dently marching on quite as rapidly as
the most ardent centralist could e’esire.
Tit* IrUh Trial* iuia Traablm.
The English government is empU ying
the courts, the police and the army in its
efforts to put down the secret organiza
tion known as the land-league—an or
ganization that has grown in fifteen
months until it has in many respects
rendered British rule a nullity in Ire
land. Just now the trial of fourteen
lea lere of the league, before the court of
queen's bench, Dublin, is attracting wide
attention. The defendants or traversers
are Mr. Charles Stuart Parnell, M. P.
Mr. John Billon, M. P.; Mr. Joseph Gil-
lis Bigger, M. P.; Mr. T. D. Sullivan, M,
P.; Mr. Thomas Saxton, M. P.; Mr. Pat
rick Egan, treasurer of the league; Mr
Thomas Brennan, its secretary; Mr. M.
Sullivan, undersecretary; Mr. P. Boy ton,
Mr. P. J. Gordon, of Clan-morris; Mr.
Matthew Harris, of Galway; Mr. J. W.
Nelly, of Balia; Mr. J. W. Walsh, ot
Balia, and Mr. P. J. Sheridan, of Tubher-
curry.
They are charged with “conspiracy"
under a very elastic law; but the jury,
composed of eight Catholics, three
Protestants and a Quaker will
probably have judgments as elas-
as the law. No one
anticipates a conviction, and few a dis
agreement of the jury. The government
seems to rely almost solely upon the ut
terances of the defendants at league
meetings.
But the government does not wholly de
pend upon these trialsfor the suppression
of disonler. It is filling the island with
soldiers and a formidable police force.
Flying columns are to be dispatched
through the turbulent districts. The
land is to be trampled by artillerymen,
and cavalrymen, and foot soldiers. And
yet there is not an intel-igent man who
believes the league can bo quickly crashed
out by the employment of force—by
trials or by military expeditions.
The trouble is, the tenants can not pay
the rents imposed by the landlords, and
either one or the other must go. If the
government keeps the landlords in fall
possession by force, the tenants will be
compelled to fly to other lands or starve.
If the government, on the other hand,
decides to conciliate the snff* ring people
by making them proprietors of the soil
they till, the landlords will go back to
England. The two classes cannot longer
occupy the island in peace.
But how to bring about this great
change is no easy matter. If the Irish
landlords are forced to sell their lands,
the English landlords would feel insecure
—and then upon what ia the throne to
rely? Then again the league is demand-
im: too much. Instead of being content
with a demand for land reform, it
also demands an Irish parliament
or home rale on local affairs.
There is even talk of Irish independence.
Mr. Gladstone is between two fires—be
tween the impracticable schemes of the
leagners and the rawwity and fears cf
the relentless landlord system, both of
England and Ireland; and this includes
the privileged classes of the kingdom.
Never had a minister a more difficult
problem to solve. Ireland has no Desk,
and the landlords no Kossuth. Mr.
Gladstone has to deal with impracticable
leaders on the one side and with the en
trenchments of a powerful land grabbing
aristocracy on the other. He ia full of
resources; he is the true friend of all in
terests, and if any man can find a good
aoluiion of the existing difficulty, he can.
But Irish independence is a dream* and
Irish ownership of the soil a matter ol a
century. The kagne have however de-
ccnfiding Germans, who were so unfor
tunate mb to have a lot of bogus Georgia
bonds palmed off on them by the sharp
sod lively parties in terwted in the finances
of thia state under republican rule, feel
that they have been made the Victims of
most outrageous proceeding. The
Coxarrrcttos does not hesitate to say
that it sympathizes most keenly with
these honest and confiding holders of
bogus securities and with all other inno
cent holders of alleged Georgia bonds
which have been shown to be fraudulent
and void. Indeed, The Constitution docs
not hesita'e to go a atop further than this
and declare that they have a valid
claim for reparation. They have not
only been made the victima of sharp
practice, but they have been deliberately
robbed. In a matter of this kind, it is
well to call things-by their right names,
and when we say that the innocent hold
ers of the bogus bonds of Georgia have
been robbed, we merely give plain ex
pression to a fact which must be appar
ent to any person who knows the history
of the transaction by which they were vic
timized. They paid oat their money and
received in return a lot of alleged secure-
es that were not the worth, the paper
npon which they were printed. In other
word*, the alleged seenri ies were palm
ed off on the innocent Germans by par
ties who knew that the so-called bonds
were not what they purported to he.
The point we desire to make in thie
connection, however, is that the German*
and • other innocent persons who pur-
based these so-called bonds have been
made the victims of injustice and out
rage and are entitled to reparation.
-Strange as it may seemHo these German
holders, nobody in Georgia will deny
this. They are entitled to reparation,
nd there is not a man, woman or child
n the state who would net be pleased to
learn that they had recovered all the
money of which they have been un
justly dispossessed. Thus far every-
•ody is agreed, but by going a step
further, as we propose to do, we fear the
holders of the alleged bonds will conclude
that our sympathy is not genuine. The
people of Georgia, inclnding The Consti
tution, simply insist that these victimized
Germans 6eek restitution at the bands of
the parties by whom they were unjustly
and fraudulently dispossessed of their
funds. This is not only a common sense
view of the matter, but it is strictly fair
and just. These Germans make a great
mistake in supposing that they have any
case against, the state, or any claim
against the people of the state, and, as
we endeavored to point out the other
day, they are losing time and more money
in the absurd effort which they have in
stituted to have the consti
of the United States amend-
d in their behalf. They have
just as much prospect of amending the
organic law of this country by obtaining
a tfocree from Bismarck as they have of
pushing their ridiculous proposition
through congress and through the state
legislatures.
The sum and substance of the whole
matter is that Georgia owes them noth
The state did not swindle them in
the first place, and they have no right to
come to the state for reparation. If The
Constitution allows itself to be swindled
i»y accepting a counterfeit note purport
ing to have been issued by the First Na
tional Bank of New York, wo have no
right to demand restitution from the
bank. Our coat se is to catch the swin
dler who paid us the note, and if we fail,
the bank has no responsibility in the
matter.
In a general way, people who invest
money in Ef'curities’toLiSiLort aro snp-
poeed to know somethin*^ their value
—something of their history): bat it ap
pears that thes) unfortunate Germans
handed over their money to (Sews A Co.
without making any inquiry or investi
gation whatever. Had tney taken the
trouble to look into the history of these
b jgus bonds they would have learned
that the people of Georgia had put the
world on notice that these alleged se
curities were worthless and would never
be paid. They would have learned
that the treasurer of the state,
though in political sympathy with those
in power, had visited New York City iir
person in order to put Wall street upon
notice that these so-called bonds were not
what they purported to be, bnt fraudu
lent and invalid. If the Germans had
been ordinarily cantious they would have
learned that the people of the state,
through their press, had given timely
warning of the character of these bogus
securities. This is why the bonds were
placed in a foreign market. They could
not be disposed of in this country, where
their character was known, except at
great sacrifice, and Clews, through his
foreign connections bundled them off to
countries where they had not been ad
vertised as invalid.
But, all the same, the German holders
bought at their own risk. They had no
warning, bnt they might have had can*
tion. The very fact that the securities
were offered for sale In a foreign country
ought to have excited their suspicions.
When was it ever necessary to go outside
of Wall street to negotiate a valid Geor
gia bond? It is true, the cry of “repudi
ation” was raised in New York and else
where when these bogus bonds were
formally declared* invalid; but the
cry was not raised in financial circles
—it was not raised in Wall
street The stern justice of those who
transact business on the pound of flesh
policy knew that Georgia had not re
pudiated any of her bonds, and they
were as ready and as anxious to get hoi J
of Georgia bonds the day after the fraud
ulent securities received formal condem
nation as they have been since; and all
because Wall street was never for a mo
ment deceived as to the manner and ex
tent of the swindle which was practiced
when the bogus bonds were offered for
sale in foreign markets.
It is in all kindnsss and sympathy,
therefore, that we advise the victimized
Germans to go for restitution to those
who swindled them. Neither the state
nor the people of Georgia had any part
m it.

earnestness, that is impelling the powers
to bring about a settlement of the tfoilblfi

This is the last day of the old year, and
to-morrow the new year will inevitably
be upon us with all its responsibilities,
opportunities, hopes and promises. Let
us, in the course of the good resolutions
we are about to make, firmly resolve that
we will do all that in as lies to make
Georgia richer, mere independent and
nearer self-»ustaining than she has ever
been. w e cannot conceive a more pa

All the way from Maine to the South
Carolina line there fell on Satorday and
Sunday snow in large quantities. In
some places the storm lasted three days,
and the accumulation of snow greatly
impedes travel Even in Baltimore there
is a foot of snow, and the sleigh bells
could jingle all through Virginia and in
the greater part of North Carolina. The
atly. winter is almost unprecedented in
severity. There is no snow in Georgia,
t>ut the air is as keen as a Greenlander
would he apt to desire.
The state trials have been begun a
Dublin. Mr. Parnell and bis associates
are relieved of the unfriendly spirit that
Chief Justice May has manifested, for
that gentleman declines to set in their
cases. IIo claims that his language on a
former memorable occasion was miscon
strued; but now that he is not to takf
part in the coming trials, it matters very
little what he said or intended to 6ay.
The course of the trials will be closely
watched.

But I don’t believe in prophets—Special

tighten up things, but speculation haseu'l

f all industries, aud 1 don’t see what Jay
Gould cau do except to burst up a few
speculators like hinueif. A few years ago
our people owed for their farms and they
stocked them ou a credit and got advanc
es of provisions to make tbeir'crops. Iron
men built furnaces and bought mules and
wagons and spread out extensively while
iron was fifty dollars a ion—railroad men
issued bonds and built their roads on acred
it—merchants bought largely ou time at
high prices and sold them the same way
and shore enough tbe panic came But its
not so now. \ was iu the little thriving
city of B&rnesville the other day and saw
many signs of substantial prosperity
There were two firms making wagous'and
buggies, four to five hundred each in a
year, and they sold them for cash and there
was a large furniture factory, and the farm
ers’ wagons were there hauling off bureaus
aud bedsteads and tables aud chairs and
they all had tbe money. Mr. Stafford tolu
me their firm sold about $130,000 worth iu
a year, and it was all cash or a safe equiva
lent, and what they had acid on time to tht
termers was promptly paid out of their cot
ton crop. He is a splendid gentleman ol
the olden time, but hasentany ageto^eak

'largely in fruit and lumber, which, in the

gitter got two dollar* a day and was always
cross-eyed—got eo from habit, for while lie
had bis right eye on the pole he was cut

COTTON.
Last year Messrs. Turner, Inman A Parrott
erected a large compress, which is not excelled by
any in the Uuited States, and finding that it has
not capacity enough for the business, have
determined to erect another oae, which will be
ready for next season’s badness. In addition to
this Messrs. Maddox, Rucker & Co. baTe
erected a large cotton warehouse, and we hear
others are to be built the coming summer, which
will add much to our cotton receipts next Henson.
Onr receipts this season havebeeu curtailed for
the want of sto.sge room. Although we expect
to increase our receipts folly £0,000 bales, with
the facilities thus afforded, aided by our cottou

why our cotton trade should mot continue to

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Worni-Pruor Cotton
Jasper (Tex*.-) Newsboy.
This worm-proof extra prolific, rapid
growing and early maturing cotton, whose
fame has already spread throughout the
American continent, and beyond the seas
among tbe French and English and in
Spaiu and India, was grown aud mixed
with native weeds in the quiet little village
of Jasper.
The land on which this cotton was grown
has beeu in cultivation ever since 1824, and
is said to be the first spot of land ever cleared
and cultivated in Jasper county. The land
(not by any means a fair representation of
east Texas soil, for we have much better) is
a sandy hillside, with a slope of about six
leet iu a distance of seventy five yards, aud
too poor for anything but goober peas,
apes and hybrid cotton.
Mr. White first began experimenting
with the hybridizing method in 1862, since
which time lie has made a success of his
undertaking, aud has given it the test on
every hand, it bearing out eveu beyond his
most sanguine expectations.
The cotton has now been thoroughly hy
bridized for three years, each cropping sea
son of which a crop has been raised, aud
though worms have ravaged tbe cotton
farms in close proximity to it, and worms
have been placed on the growing plant,
they have never dined upon its foliage. Mr.
White has gathered 182 matured, open bolls
from oue stalk of the second crop of this
season, which is elaborately explained in
the following, which appeared iu the News
boy about two months since:
"The hybrid cottou is all right.
Newsboy reporter strolled arouud to Mr.
While’s garden, a few evening* since, aud
was shown a large cotton stalk, which sports
something over 200 bolls, blooms and
squares, of which abjut seventy-five bolls
will mature and open within the next ten
days. The interesting feature of thus plant
is the fact that it has grown from seeds that
were raised this year—the first planting
being on the fourth of April
lost, aud the whole crop matured, opened
and was gathered by the 15;h of August,
and the second planting, from which grew
the stalk which is the subject of this ar
ticle, was made in July Irom seeds gather
ed at first planting. Mr. White also has a
young plant from seeds of the second
crop, making oae young plaut third
growth of the ^ason. Of course the young
plant cannot mature cotton before frost,
but it is something strictly new to see cot
ton of the third generation, each of the
same season.
The following, which Is somewhat com
plimeutary to the grade of lint produced by
the hybrid of cotton, we clip from the Gal
veston News, of 1879:
‘ Mr. L C. White, of Jasper, Jasper coun
ty, Texas, sends Mr. A. G. Mills, secretary
or abe Galveston cotton exchange, two sam
ples of worm-proof ixnt cotton, to be sub
mined to the classification and quotation
committee for their views, etc.; the samples
«re numbered oue and two. The commit
tee, after a careful inspection of the samples,
reports both staples of fair length, remarka-
b.e strength aod very silky—No. 2 the beat.
This cotton has been produced by Mr.
White alter some sixteen or seventeen
years of labor, and study, by nmalgamaticj
ordinary cottou with a weed—the weed am
his procttss are his secret. * * * *
Mr. White further states that the weed
with which this cotton is mixed was never
known to be eaten by worm or insect of
any kind ’’
The writer examined the cotton growing
the stalks were large and healthy, a brown
iah red color, the leaf resembling ordinary
cotton, with a very rank weed odor; the
oolls weie larger than ordinary cotton and
well filled with lint. In the centre of each
tell there is a small pod containing evi
dently tbe seed of the weed When the
boll is fully opened this pod of seed is also
opened, and tne seed drop* out, leaving the
liui cotton iu tbe boll. The bolls will all
mature within a few days of each other.
This the planter could remedy
by planting at different times.
Editor McClure in Philadelphia Times.
The one great peril to the south for which
[ can see r.o immediate reuiedy is the now
inevitable division of the white vote of the
south and the certain appeal of contending
ftfctijr-s to the blacks as the arbiter of
disputing ambition. I h»ve until recently
shared the very general belief of the north
that the division of the white vote of the
south must be fortunate for the black
voters, as it would create rivalry in extend-
ig the fullest proti c.ion to the blacks,
now thoroughly convinced against all
my wishes, that tbe necessaiy and now near
division of tbe whites will be fruitful of
great demoralization to both races and that
will be the severest trial of the wisdom of
universal suffrage. There is now
nothii s to demoralize the black

bis industry and the education of his child-
He is rapidly*beconiing the owner
lessee of lands aud is his* own farmer, and
iy instance. 4 , accumulating wealth
with habits of industry; but when the
white man locks horns with his fellow iu
the battle of ambition, the most artful dem
agogues will best control the ignorant freed
>» and the degradation of borh race*
must follow. Mahone teaches the lesaou
most pointedly in Virginia, where he ha
outstripped the bourbons in the devices of
Ibe demagogue and has consolidated eighty
thousand propertyless voters to stamp the
ineffaceable stain of repudiation upon an
honored commonwealth, and repeal the just
tax that opens the free school to the colored
children. The division of the whites in Geor
gia under the Colquitt and Norwoxd fljgs,
seut a hurricane of debauchery among the
colored vote of that state, and all the thrift
lei s cupidity of ignorance has been whetted
for future contests. This severe trial ef
universal suffrage must now comb, and it
will present the problem in au unexpected
phase to the nation. Tne whites can do
nothing else than divide. They cannot and
should not do otherwise. They are full of
human uature; they have now no common
danger to make them forget all differences
of opinion and alt the impulses of ambition
repressed jealousies and longings
of this people will burst out in wide
spread and bitter antagonisms, and the
lack man will be the umpire between them.
Tne seductive appeal of the agrarian and
the cry of the communist wiil be heard by
the courted olack man, and his prejudices,
his passions, his appetites and hi* indolence
will be appealed to rather than his reasou
mid his interests. I now fear this surely
approaching trial of the black man a* the
sorest that no has yet grappled with in all
smauy misfortunes since his liberation,
d I apprehend that it will, at no distant
day, demand the searching consideration of
the whole nation, as did universal suffrage
iu Washington before it was effected to cure
its intolerable evils.
The factory and the school mast be the
great civilizer* of the south, aud I am glad
to see that the northern aud southern radi
cals agree iu the Uuited glares senate in
nationalizing education. It is needed in
the south to an extent far beyond what is
generally understood in the norih. and there
will be no material elevation of the black
race until the ignorv*t c’asses of both
whites and blacks can be educated. There
is cordial sympathy, a* a rule, between tne
intelligent whites aud the blacks, much
more than there is between the white* and
blacks in the north, but tbe ignorant white
man never forgives the black mau for being
as intelligent as himselt. In nine cases
out of ten, the black man will prefer intel
ligent white to any Eort of colored jurors, to
try his case in court, and he prefers the
former owner of slaves to any others, simply
bt cause that clas* is certain to judge ihe
aegro most generously. Ail of me recon
structed states have equal educational
facilities for both races, out their poverty
has prevented Either the number of school*
or the length of terms which should be
attained to afford proper opportunities
general schooling. The fact
that the intelligent whites have
no difficulty in harmonizing
with the blacks, clearly points to hastened
education of both races as the surest means
of their mutual elevation and prosperity.
.And uex: to tha school the faotory ia-des
lined to be the gteat civilizer iu the new
south. Every factory I have seen looks
like a green spot in tbe desert, aud it is
steadily advancing every class of people
about it. Manufacturers should go south.

The Boalntn of the Dead Year Bt-
viewed.
Saturday was a general holiday throughout
the commercial trorl-J. Hence, no market re
port*, and it is only left for us to brisly review
the year that has just bee * closed.
The year 1880 has been one of unparalleled pros
perity throughout the length and breadth o! the
United States, and all section* have cause for
rejoicing. Of course there have been mazy up*
and downs during the year: but we strike the
balance. We find in the aggregate that the pro
fit ride of the ledger makes a very satisfactory
showing. We occasionally hear notes
ot warning of probable panics, etc; but
we are U*tb to believe them, especially a* some
of the warning* come from parties who think
th?y might be benefited pecuniarily by panic*.
It Is true panics generally follow inflation. It is
also true that talue* have largely increased in the
last few month*, flat at the same time our great
country is being rapidly developed and new en
terprises are springing up in every direction; and
while it may be that tome of our railroad stocks
have advanced too rapidly—and we. may be, ex
pect reaction—the rapidly increasing population,
and increasing productions of the country most
certainly make the stock of all trunk lines good

COMtSO JCEAKEC HOME.
In the south, we think we can safely %xj, that
there has never bren a year of such general pros
perity aa the oue just closed. Our farmers have
raised good cn-ps. much of which has been mar
keted at very satisfactory prices and are in good
financial position, aud will not b-i compelled to
pay exorbitant prices for supplies aud heavy
interests for money to raL-e another crop,
corros a>i> fertilizers.
The popular estimate of the crop, now being
marketed is 6,000,000. We don’t think it will vary
much from these figure*; aud U would have betn
muen larger, but for the very bad weather we
have had for the post month*. Bat In
the aggregate ve think there will
as much money realized to the farmer, for
6,000,000 as there would hare been for 7,000 000.

in all sections of the stato—aew cotton factories,

with the age and its improvements, and we think
in a few year* will compete with some of our sis

THE HEW YEAR.
A Resume or tbe Basluess or Ibe Past
Tear.
New York, December 31.—The Even’ng Ex
press in it* annual review of toe past year’s busi
ness oi the country, says: "Viewing from
business standpoint, toe year has be .n a remark
able one, probably the most remarkable in the
history o! toe country. There has been a great
revival in t ede and the volume of legitimate
bunincst done during the year was beyond all
precedent Tbe improved conditio
affairs was the natural result of large crop-
export demand for our products, growth
country, heavy Influx of gold from Europe, and
complete restoration of confidence growing out of
tne success ol specie payments. One
ef the most gratifying fes
ol 1S-0 has been the great falling off in the
berof failures aud tho amouutof liabilities of
Kuapenaed merchants. The growth ol toe coun
try and the large additions to the catioual
wealth during 18 0 are strikingly illus
trated in the products of the soil, of
which we retired 475,000,0;.0 bushels wheat,
165.iOO.OCO bushels corn, 23i.OOJ,0 4) bushels oats,
24.U00.iL0 butoels rye, 4j,000,> 00 bushel* barley
aud 0,000.000 bales cotton, to say uoihing of to
bacco, sugar, rice, hemp, hay and other crops,
anti hug* aud dairy products, which will yield
an immense sum ol money in toe aggregate.
Iu plain word*, toe United States now ratres
enough to fe*M her own fifty million people and
supply the deficiency of the balance of the civil
ized world. During tbe year more miles of rail-
road have been built, more conrollda-
tous aud combinations have been
entered iuto, mote freight and pas
sengers have been transported, more money
earned, and more luteresl and dividends paid
than in auy former year. The commerce of toe
country during the year ha* made rapid progress
and caused tbe Uuited States to lake a still higher
rank, being uow third among the commercial
nstlous of the globe.

Nzw Yoxx.Dccember 21.—I went up to the Fifth
Avenue the other night to ace Mary Anderson—
that divine girl with the slouching Stride of a
race horse, play The Countess In "Love.”
I found her toe same thoroughbred she aicvajs
was—the best product of the blue grass region.
Her neck arches as prettily as ever—her .Ipa
flicker and tremble just as they used to do, and
tha same dewy spring like freshness bangs os the
breath of morning about her garments. She has
the same crude inartistic movements as free and
easy oa a young filly running down the wind—
that the prig* used to criticise aud the audleucc
applaud. Her arms are quite as long aa ever, and
she fl.uga them about just as caisluitiy. 1 auj*-
pose she ho* the longest arms iu the world—toougi*
Heaven knows, as I watched them flash, to
white and virginal, wantou in their
very length and loveliness*, I thought
a necklace bod never been
designed lor toe bliss of one mob and the envy
of all the others.
But it was not concerning the charming actress
that I started to write, but a very different person.
In the stage box on the left, watching every curve
of tho milk-white ne k, every upfly It g of the glis
tening arms and every tremor of toe red lip*, oat
G eacral YV. T. Sherman, sternest and most grizzled
of soldiers. A handsome bouquet found its way
from this box to the stage, and a dazz.ing smllo
was flashed toward the box that would have paid
for all the fl iwen in the gardens ol Baby ion. All
through toe play the general led the applause
with all the zeal that ho ever led bis veterans,
lie has long been one of the staunchest and truest
friends of the fair Kentuckienne, and 1 marvelled
that the bright-eyed old veteran that sat there,
clapping his hands to toe echo of a girl’s voice,
w«s the most merciless invader since A lane, and
who had swept through Georgia like a
scourge of God.
After toe play was over I called at the Flftls'
Avenue hotel and spent a pleasan* half hour wlu*
General Sherman. I found him iu a
jaunty sack coat, and pant* cut trimly,
giving his body a youthful look, that the grizzly
beard Bcarce denied and tho b ight eyes, mobile
mouth and quick, sff*ble motions most decidedly
affirmed.
I doubt if there waa a mors conscientious sol
dier in the northern army than General Sherman,
t here was no sentimentalism about him. To his
notion, war meant cruelty—It meant death—de
struction—and the sooner this wa* realized the
iooner was there chance of peace. The heaviest,
toarpest aud most decisive blows he contended
the most merciful, and the. real scourge, he
held, wash* who connived at the prolonging of

horror* over with a show of pity. * r hU was

logical and ju.u On tots argument he fought,

with him, b*ld that tbe relentless severity with
which he marched through the heart of toe con
federacy, first brought the people to know what
was really meant, and hastened peace. Bo this
it may, we need not judge General Sherman.
Hbtory will bring him to its bar—and after hla-
•ry—God!
I culled the general’s attention to a short letter
iat he had written to Captain Burke, of the Qato
C.iy Guard, in which be said that he h d never
ordered the burning of the city of Atlanta.
"Oi course that!* tr«e,” he responded quickly.
Tne city of Atlanta was never burne-l as a city.
I notice that the headquarter* 1 occupied, all the
b-mses about it, and toe hcadquarteis of the
other officers were all standing when I revisited
ic place a year or two *iuce. The residenoe
.nets were not burned at all."
"It waa your intention, then, to bmn only the

My Intention was clearly expressed in a writ-
order to General Poe. It was tdmply to.bum

"Ye*," I repll 'd laughingly—"and don’t you
