Of the millions who have uttered tins ravot few, perhaps, huvo suuici- or.tlv ctnsklered their own ol (liga tions lint to lead their fellows into temptation. The store-keeper puts his wares on the pavement without guard, oblivious of the fact that :i:n'n-v men and '.vomen pass his door who are sorely tempted to help j themselves by the combination of j want and opportunity. Voting ehil-1 d:vn and servants are similarly j tempted by careless people, who al- j low money or valuables to lie within their reach. The evil is particularly! grave when the young', who do not . know the value of reputation, are thus tempted to wrongr-doing. The ly tempted who commits his 1'rst theft, not altogether inno cently, but because ho docs not fully ; realize the character of his crime, is ; disgraced by arrest, thrown into the company of hardened criminals and' refused an opportunity to reform. ; The disgrace of his arrest clings to him: he finds dif.iculty in obtaining ; honest employment, and is, therefore, ! exposed to fresh temptations to steal. If ln again yields he is regarded as incorrigible and has no other re course but to leave his home and start life afresh or become a profes sional thief. And all this may be a' ' tvsu'.t not altogether of his evil disposition, but of the carelessness: j of s' an; one who, while praying to , delivered from temptation, has at temptation m the way of Ins fei iwmeii. Consideration of this mat-; t..f would lead, moreover, to a more judicial view (.if the offenses of young' . culprits than generally obtains. j u u yvvy ca-v for iK'ui'lc uh" ai'el not tempted to be virtuous. To ap- j nreciate the condition of those who ! have fallen one must consider the j force of the temptations to which j they may have been exposed. The j familiar example is that of one suf fering from hunger in the midst of i plenty. Hut there are many kinds of hunger, and though one's desires j ought to be controlled, and where they cannot be honestly supplied j should be resisted, yet it is easy to j understand how a weak person or j one whose moral education has been neglected might succumb to a strong' desire when coupled with opportun ity for relief. Very often the young' p rson wno goes wrong uuis u, wclhu t ) opportunity. lie has had the de sire for money to spend like his as sociates for a long' time, but has made no effort to g'et it by dishonest nn.'an purse Suddenly he comes across a mislaid just as the desire is strong upon him. With scarcely a thought of the consetpiences he com mits his first theft, and in a moment j Ins reputation is uia;;-u ,oni -, i perhaps, ruined. He should not have yielded that may be granted but he should not have been unnecessari ly exposed to the temptation. The thoughtful and considerate people will protect their children, their ser vants and all others with whom they come in contact from unnecessary temptation. They will not leave money or valuables lying' about to serve as temptations to those whose strong desires are weak characters may make them easy preys to temp tation. ( haracter. Two factors enter into the compo sition of character, the one voluntary, which we may be said to control, the other involuntary, in regard to which we have no choice. It is of necessity that we should recognize the limita tions under which we work out our destiny in life and character. In the tiivst place, theiv is our mere nature, our constitution of body and mind, received from our parents, over which we have no control at all in the first beginning', although afterwards it may be considerably modified by ac tion and habit. Next comes the early training of home, in which the child is little"more than a passive recipi ent of impressions and influences; but, as life progresses, the two fac tors become mingled, until at last the involuntary becomes more or less subordinate to the voluntary. .inx.i: i:i:a; vvs aimuikss. An Eloquent Discourse at the Uocoiit (.'oiifctlr-nrie Ketinion at Nashville. (CONTINl ia FROM last v, i:ek.) In this connection I desire to say that it has been frequently asserted of late years that at the conference between President Lincoln and Sec retary Seward, of the Federal side, at Ilamjitou lloads, on the 3rd of January, l.-Ga, that President Lin coln offered the Confederates SiOl, 000,000 for the slaves if they would abandon the war and return to the Union. This story has assumed va rious forms to suit the rhetoric of the speakers and writers who have given it currency. I wish to assert most solemnly that no such offer in any form was made. All the papers relating' to the Hampton Roads con ference are given in "McPherson's History of tlu IlebeHion,'' as he calls it. They show that the joint resolu tion for amending' the Constitution of the L nited States was passed by Congress, submitting to the States the question of abolishing slavery in the United States, two or three days before the date of that conference. The report of the commissioners on the part of the Confederacy, which was published at the time, shows that no such offer was made or refer red to in that conference. The state ment of President Davis and that of President Lincoln and of Secretary Seward show that no such offer was made or talked of at that conference. This false statement lias been often made. It is disproven by every man who was there, and by every paper which has been written by or for the men who were there. Neither President Lincoln nor any other man on the Federal side would have dared to make such an offer at that time, j It was stated at the time, and 1 be-' lieve the statement to be true, thai the Congress hurried the joint reso lution above named through so as to forestall the possibility of any such proposition. The object of this untruthful state ment was no doubt to cast odium on the Confederate President and au thorities by trying to show that they would accept no terms of peace and were responsible for the continuance of the war. President Davis appoint ed Vice-President Stephens to go to ' Washington in lv(ll, ostensibly to secure a renewal of the cartel for the exchange of prisoners, but the real purpose of his mission was to see President Lincoln for the purpose of ascertaining' on what conditions the war could be terminated. Hut he was not permitted by the Federal authorities to pass through their military lines. Then he appointed the commissioners to the Hampton I Joads conference for the same pur pose. And afterwards, in 1 (!.", he authorized Cen. II. K. Lee to try to negotiate through (Jen. (I rant for the same purpose. I mention these facts to show that it is a mistake to suppose that President Davis neg lected any means in hi power to end the war on honorable terms, and mention them because of the many misrepresentations which have been made on this subject. He could not have made public all he did in this respect at the time without discour aging; our army and the people. And if at any time he had proposed or consented to unconditionally surren der he would have been in danger of violence at the hands of our own peo ple. Neither he nor they proposed or intended to surrender uncondition ally unless overpowered. After the overthrow of the Con federate government and the sur render of the Confederate armies, the work of the restoration was com menced, while the excitement and I passions and prejudices of the war j were in full blaze, and were intensi j tied by the assassination of President j Lincoln, with which it was unjustly ! assumed the Confederate authorities j had some connection, but which was j regarded by them as most unfortu 1 nate for the people who had adhered j to the fortunes of the Confederacy. ' Under the statj of feeling' which ! then existed on both sides, it was I hardly to be expected that a wise and temperate policy of reconstruc jt ion would be adopted, while many j of the churches of the Northern 'States were resolving', and some of : their ministers of the religion of ' Christ were preaching a crusade i of hate, proscription and revenue against the Southern people. The ! plan adopted for the pacification of j the Southern people was to deprive ' them of all political rig'hts, put them : under military rule, and suspend the right of the writ of habeas corpus, so that there could be no relief or re : dress for any wrong done to a-citi-! zen, however unlawful or outrageous. ! Our citizens were subject to arrest , by the military authority without an affidavit or formal charge, or legal ; warrant, and to detention without knowing; what the charges against them were, and to trial by a drum ; head court-martial without the in , tervention of a jury. ! A large part of the Southern States had been devastated by war; the ! people had exhausted their resources in the endeavor to maintain their i cause, and tens of thousands of their ' bravest and best men had either fall en in battle or died in the service. Heaten in battle, denied political rights and the protection of law, governed by an unfriendly military authority, and by the negroes, carpet-baggers and scalawags (I men tion them in the order of their re spectability.) plundered and robbed by employes of the Treasury Depart ment, and constantly menaced by loyal leagues composed of the ele ments above named, their condition seemed to be as hopeless as can well be imagined. If under the Provi dence of God the life of President Lincoln could have been spared, so that reconstruction and the restora tion of the Union could have been brought about under his supervision, and that of the officers and soldiers who fought the battles of the Union, I believe the country would have been saved from the introduction of abnormal military government which are so unfriendly to civil rights and political liberty, and so contrary 4.o the genius of our government; and that the people of the Southern States would have been saved from much of the enormous sacrifices and suffering which they were compelled to endure during the period of re construction; the demagogues in poli tics, the unchristian persecutions by religious bodies and the thieving treasury officials would not have had so wide a field for their operations. It is unpleasant to me to make the foregoing recitals, and the more so because the purpose for which they are made may be misunderstood or misrepresented. Thevvestoration f peace, good government, the rule of law, and of good will between those who were once enemies, is gratify ing to me as it can be to any other citizen. But the charge has been constantly made since the war that the Confederates were rebels and traitors, and the effort in all the time being made to educate the ris ing generation into the belief that their fathers and their mothers were rebels and traitors, and therefore lawless crnnma.s. Without malice against any of our fellow-citizei feel it to be my duty to the memory of our heroic dead, to the surviving associates and those who are to come after us. to make the foregoing state ments in vindication of the truths of history, and in justification of the patriotism, the manhood and love of justice of those who defended the lost cause, and offered their all in an effort to preserve their constitution al rights against the aggressions of a hostile majority. And now that we are again citizens of the United States, living under the same gov- j ernmer.t and constitutional flag', our j late adversaries ought not to desire i to degrade us in the eyes of poster-1 iiy, and if they would be wise and! just they shou.tl not wish to puiee our peopiC in History ui uie position 1 of being unworthy ct the rights, lib erty and character of citizens of our great common country. And while I have accepted, and do accept, in good faith, the legitimate results of the war, and while I am, and will be, as true to my allegiance and duty to our common government as any other citizen can be, 1 shall insist on my right to tell the truths which show that in that great strug gle we were guided and controlled by a sense of duty and by a spirit of patriotism which caused us to stake life, liberty and property in a con- test with a greatly superior power rather than basely surrender our rights without a struggle. It is lit- i ting and proper at this point that I were sitting on the side of the track ! should refer to a matter which fitly asleep, killed three of them and bad ! illustrates the character of the South-1 iv wounded the fourth. ern people. There was never a time during all the perils and suffering of reconstruction that men of promin ence who had been on the Confeder ate side could not have obtained po sitions of honor and emolument un der the Federal government if they would have consented to surrender their convictions and betray their people. A very few diil so and there by earned an everlasting infamy. But nearly all of them stood by their convictions and preserved their hon or, and thereby proved themselves worthy of citizenship in the greatest and proudest government on earth. Having attempted to fulfill an un- vlonsnnt dntv in what, T have so far said, I now turn to the consideration of more pleasant subjects. From the desolation, absence of civil government and political rights of law throughout the Southern States less than thirty years ago, we now, in all these States, have good civil government, good laws faith fully enforced, liberty protected, so- ciety reorganized, peace and industry : performance, was actually shot dead re-established with many valued en- by his rival in the play, terprisesput into successful opera-1 At West Point, Tenn., Thursday, tlon, and with a steady and wonder-; -m ttie presence of at least 500 peo ful increase in population, wealth pie Anthony Williams, colored, was and the comforts of civilized life.

Business during the past week de veloped no jeneral activitv. There was a little improvement in some di rections, but trade as a rule has con tinued seasonably quiet. The situa tion, however, is very favorable for a gradual expansion of business a lit tle later in the year. The big bitum inous coal strike is the most discour aging feature, as its continuance for any length of time would involve se rious industrial disturbance and cause great loss and inconvenience to the business interests of the coun try. In other respects the industri al and trade outlook is very encour aging. The delay in tariff set tlement is a stumbling block to im mediate recover' in many depart ments; but this cannot last much longer, and in the meantime Nature is preparing bountiful harvests that will greatly facilitate the recover- of business during the coming fall sea son. Indications point to continued activity in the export trade, the vol ume of which exceeded all previous records in the fiscal year ended last month. The total value of the mer chandise exports for the fiscal year was ?l,031,f)87,0!)l; the largest previ ous total was $l,0:;i127$114$, in i The imports for the fiscal year were $704,37:;,!0r; and in spite of the big increase under the tariff stimulus in recent months the year's aggregate was smaller than that of lSl'O and has been five times exeeded since 1800. Business failures during the last week, according to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered 2t: in the United States and 27 in Canada, against 2ii0 in this country and .'If in Canada dur ing the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices have advanced 1-1 (j of a cent, owing to light receipts and stocks of old cotton, and to specula tive apprehension about the continu ance of a drought in the Southwest. The general outlook is favorable; but the crop is in the critical stage of its growth, and in some sections more moisture is needed to insure satis factory results. There is a fair sea sonable demand from exporters, and a moderate call from spinners; but at many points in the South a scar city of old cotton has necessitated a curtailment of output by the mills. Some of the New England mills, which closed down before the Fourth uly, have resumed operations: but others have stopped, and the re duced production, together with the strength of the cotton markets, tends to cause a steadier feeling as to cot ton goods values. Prices, however, have not improved, and buyers have shown little disposition to contract for supplies in advance of early wants, although a more active condi tion of trade is expected before the close of the month. The wool mar kets are active and strong, with a rising tendency, due to speculation in anticipation of the further price lifting effect of a tariff embargo on future imports. Wheat prices have risen 4 to 5', cents per bushel, the greater advance having been in Juh' deliveries. The relative strength of the latter has been due to the moderate movement of new wheat, which has occasioned uneasiness among the "shorts" in the July option and maintained the price of that delivery at a premium in all the markets of the country. The backward movement is not due to any disappointment about the yield or quality of wheat, but is a result of the lateness of the harvest and the liberal absorption of available supplies by the winter wheat millers in the interior. The general strength of wheat prices reflects the effect up on speculative sentiment of the con tinued reports of crop deficiences in Russia, Australia and France, and of the activity displayed by exporters. Foreign buyers have been operating as freely as has been consistent with a rising market and limited off erings, and a large amount of new wheat has been contracted for that will be ship ped to Europe during the next three or four months. The situation at present appears to be very favorable for a large export trade in w heat. The effects of adverse conditions at the time the corn crop was plant ed are being rapidly overcome, and the crop is making excellent progress in all sections. The improvement in crop prospects accounts for a decline of 1 to I of a cent per bushel in most of the markets during the week. In New York, however, the price of the July options is of a cent per bushel higher than it was a week ago. The interior movement is of fair volume, and there is a steady moderate out flow to Europe, although the export demand for com is not active, foreign buyers giving most attention to wheat. Values of hog products show little net change for the week; but the markets have lacked strength, owing to the continued comparative ly liberal movement of hogs to pack ing centres and the more favorable outlook for an abundant yield of the feeding staple, corn. There is a good home trade distribution; and the ex ports of meats and lard continue on a liberal scale and considerably in excess of the shipments for the cor responding period last year. AM.
