What matters it, my curious friend, where lies Our heavenly harbor and our land of rest? Whether it be beyond the azure skies Or in some lower world, God kuoweth best, It offers safety from our cares, and so What matters whether it be high or low, It offers rest; what more should mortals know ? Rest from the weariness of burdened days, Of bitter longings and of evil hours?. Of duties leading us through darkened ways And Into efforts far beyond our powers, Of dark temptations into secret sin, Of constant labor, earth's poor guards to win, Of spirits deafened by the strife ond din. It matters nothing as to when or where We find the haven and the welcome home ; Let curious doubt give place to trusting prayer, And no weak soul through speculation roam. We seek for scaled up secrets, hidden things ; Enough for us if on eternal wings We reach the country of those better things. Vex not thy spirit, O, aspiring man ! But live thy days as earnest workers must ; Nor try to pierce through God's myster ious plan, Which obligates thee to a life of trust. Some day, somewhere, while countless ages roll, The hungry heart can comprehend the whole, The veil be parted for thy thankful soul. Mr. Davis' Reminiseenses. HE WAS IN THE SENATE WITH WEBSTER, CLAY AND CALHOUN, HIS ESTIMATE OF LEE, JACKSON AND JOHNSON. "I had peculiarly intimate relations with Clay, Calhoun and Webster. I went to school in Lexingtou, Ky., MLhim the same reply that I gs Clay's town. His favorite son, whof:i' Taylor. was named Henry, was killed while with me in Mexico, and he. always as sociated me with that boy. Mr. Cal houn gave nie my first warrant to West Point, and, by a sigular coinci dence, when I went to the Senate my seat vfas by his side, and he always seemed, to take a fatherly supervision over me. While in the House had been upon a committee charged ' vith investigating the State Department under Mr. Webster's administration. He-had been charged with misappro priating some of the Secret Service funds but the investigation showed that he had simply used it to prevent the introduction of the Ash burton Treaty into the politics of the State of Maine. 1 drew and championed the report which exonerated him. Mr. Webster never forgot that act. He was the most grateful man for any act of kindness or interest in him that I TV ever saw. He was a irrcat oiator. bur, not in the sense in which Mr. Clay was. Mr. Clay possessed the grace of oratorv to a greater extent than any man that ever lived in this country. His gestures, his manners and his speech were perfect. Mr. Calhoun had none of the graces ot oratory, but did have a perfect contempt for them, and his pronunciation was wretched. But no orator of the present day could in fluence the people or have the position that these men had in those days. The newspapers have taken the place of the speaker, and a greater engine than the newspapers has superseded the orator that is, the telegraph. People want news and information, and want it in paragraphs. They will hardly stand much more than a paragraph of editorial, and rebel at anything like an essay. Speaking of the men and measures just before the war, he said: "Mr. Buchanan was an able man, but a very timid one. If he had had the nerve to deal with the situation as its gravity demanded, I doubt exceedingly whether any other State South would have followed South Carolina into se cession. Had he withdrawn the troops from Sumter, it would have been such a conspicuous act of conciliation that the other States would not, I believe, have called conventions to consider the question of secession, or if they had the ordinances would not have been passed. I was not one of those who believed that there could ever be a peaceful separation of the States, but could not convince our people of it. I had years before become convinced by my association with public men, and especially with Mr. Webster, that the North would never consent to it. I knew that secession meant war, and 'therefore did my utmost to prevent it. When the war came however, it had to be met with spirit. The chance for a peaceful separation of the States was lost years before the war. It could have succeeded when the North wanted to go, and again when Texas was au nexed, but not after." Speaking of his Generals, he said: Albert Sidney Johnston was the most perfect man I ever knew. He divided his life between military and civil pursuits, and showed wonderful capacity in both. He had such a grand character, such perfect self poise, such an analytical mind, such ready concep- tion of men, marvellous quickness of perceptions and ability to deal with events. I never before saw a single individual having so many sterling qualities, i had Known him intimate ly many years. Gen. Lee and myself were canets at West Point together, but Albert "Sidney Johnston and I had been much together in active life, in the held, in bivouac, and in private intercourse. Early in our association I was struck with his marvelous quick ness of perception and perfect com mand of himself. AT THE SURRENDER OF MONTEREY. "We were together in Mexico one morning when both thought we lives not worth a fig. I was the officer se lected to arrange the terms for the stir render of Monterey, and had spent sev eral hours with Gene:, I Vmpudia, the Mexican Commanding General, ar ranging the terms. It was getting quite late and there was sdspicious de lay in signing the papers. I said to General Ampudia, 41a ve the articles signed and I will call for them in the morning.1 I arose early the next day, had my horse saddled, took a cop of coffee and started for the headquarters of the Mexican General, in the eitv of Monterey. As I passed the headquar ters. of General Taylor, who always got up with the chickens, he stuck his head out of the tent to see who was passing, and seeing me, said: " 'Hallo, D avis! Where are you go ing?' kilI am going to General Ampudia to receive the terms of surrender, which he was to have signed and ready for me this morning.1 " 'Not by yourself.' " l0ne man is as good as twenty. If they mean foul play, they would de stroy twenty as well as one, and if there is danger nothing but an army will do." " 'Get down and have a cup of cof fee, and wait a few moments. "I alighted and went in, and while we were talking, Colonel Albert Sid ney Johnston, who was then acting Inspector General, came alone. He asked me where I was going, and I gave aye Gener- " 'Let me go with you. " 'Certainly: I shall be glad to have von. 'After our coffee, Johnston and I started. When we reached the streets we found them stockaded, and only room for one horse to pasn between the ! stocfotGe and twe btnidmgtfc, Artillery was guarding the entrance and the men stood at their guns with pori-fires open. The tops of the houses, which were flat, were also covered with in fantrymen standing at their guns. The whole scene had an ominous look, and as we approached, Johnston called my attention to it, and said: " 'Have you a white handkerchief? If so, you had better show it.' "I pulled one out and rode up to the stockade, and, summoning the officer in command, said: " 'I am here by appointment to meet with Ampudia. Please notify him of my presence.1 "The officer turned his back to us and gave some orders, which I did not understand, and we waited some time, and things began to look still more suspicious. ' I then called the officer's attention again to the importance of our mission, and another man was sent, and then another delay, and a third was dispatched. VV bile waiting we saw Ampudia's Adjutunt-General coming down the street. We knew that he spoke English. Johnston, in a very low tone of voice, said: " 'This man cannot affect not to understand us.1 "As he came up we saluted, and ex plained to him that I was there in obe dience to an understanding with his commanding officer, and there appear ed some delay, and I expressed a wish that he would have us conducted to General Ampudia's presence. " 'Oh, certainly,' said he, and he call ed an orderly to show us the way. Johnston in an undertone said: "He had better do the conducting." "I would be obliged if you would ac company us to the General's presence yourself,1 said I. "0h, with pleasure, with pleasure, he replied, and lead the way. "As we turned and passed through the stockade, Johnston took one side of the Adjutant-General, and I the other, and we were soon with the Mex ican general, and had the papers relat ing to the capitulation in our hands. "On our return, in jumping the ditch the flab to my holstorflew up and I was informed that my pistol had been stolen by his orderly while I was with the Mexican General. It was a very valu able one, although a very plain one. It had been given to me by Colonel Johnson, my companion during the Black Hawk War, and I prized it highly. COMPLIMENTING EX-CONFEDERATB OF FICERS. "Albert Sidney Johnston was doubt less the best soldier of the war on either side. The battle of Shiloh was the only battle of which I have any knowledge that was fought just as it was planned. He sent me a dispatch, which litis been lost or destroyed, giv ing the plan of his battle, and if it had not been for a delay in some of his troops coming up, every incident of his plan would have been carried out and each movement would have fitted in like clockworks. "Stonewall Jackson was the greatest executive omcer ot the Confederacy. General Lee uttered a great truth, and rrom ms neart, wnen he said, upon braringof Jackson's death: 'I have lost my right arm.1 Lee was a great soldier and a ereat man. Most, npnnl Unistake his character. He had the reputation of being a slow, c ireful, cautious man, but he was one of the most combative men I ever knew. He was always willing to fight. At times he was even impetuous, especially in the f ace of disaster. He would nffpn rush into places and dangers where he did not belong, and manv times show- red his disposition to be an executive leaner, rattier than the controlling mind of a great armv. He was one o? the purest men I ever knew a man incapable of subterfuge, evasion, de ceit or indirection. He won and hidd deservedly a high place as a man and a soldier at home and abroad. When Jackson lived he was Lee's dependence. tie recognized Jackson s ability as an executive officer, and trusted him im plicitly when he gave him his plans. Jackson never waited for orders a sec ond time, nor sent back for instruc tions. After the battle of Opfr.vsh Lee wrote to me that, he had met with a reverse, and asked me to find some younger and abler man to take his place. I replied that if I could find a 'younger and abler man' I might de sire to make the change, but as I had so much more confidence in him than in any other man I knew, I would not consider it. We had many other strong Generals, but these were our great leaders." THE CONDITION OF TnE SOUTH. Mr. Davis once talked to me long and earnestly on the condition of the South. Among many other things, he said: "If the South can establish a system of tenantry or get immigration to oc cupy and till its lands, there is no question but that it has a great future. Whether the colored people will ever reach that point is a question yet to be nettled. Man is now in a struggle with nature upon these problems. There is no question but that the whites are better oft for the abolition of slavery, lt is an equally patent fact that the colored people are not. It is an arithmetical proposition easily determined that it is more profitable to proceed with free labor, where only the !umm employed to be paw, imtn where the whole family is to be sup ported to get the labor of those com petent to work. Then there is also a saving in capital. Before the war, when a colored man died, the owner lost from 81,000 to $1,500. Now, he loses nothing, except, perhaps, the cost of burial. If the colored people shall develop a proper degree of thrift, and get a degree of education to keep pace with any advancement they may make, they may become a tenantry which will enable the South to rebuild the waste places and become immensely wealthy. "Negroes become greatly attached to localities, and most of them love to re main where they were raised. Almost all of our old servants are yet on the plantation near Vicksburg. The col ored people have many good traits, and manv of them are religious. Indeed, the 4,000,000 in the South when the war began were Christianized from barbarism. In that respect the South has been a greater practical missionary than all the society missonaries in the world. I had an old man, who, for the colored people in our section, was as complete a ruler as was ever born. He was as free from guile and as truth ful a man as I ever knew. The Fed eral forces treated the old man with great indignity. He was a very supe rior servant, and his quarters where he lived were fitted up with taste, some people might say with luxury. He had everything about him for his comfort, and when the soldiers came and looked into his neat and well-furnished cabin they asked him whs those things be longed to. To me,' he answered. They denounced him as untruthful, and said that he had taken those things to keep for his master, aud they took them away from him. "Nothing that was ever done to me," said Mr. Davis, "made me so indig nant as the treatment of this old col ored man." "War was not necessary toJJie abo lition of slavery," continued Mr. Davis. "Years before the agitation began at the North and the menacing acts to the institution there was a growing feeling all over the South for its aboli tion. But the abolitionists of the North, both in publications and in speech, cemented the South and crush ed the feeling in favor of emancipation. Slavery could have been blotted out without the sacrifice of brave men and without the strain which revolution al ways makes upon established forms of government. I see it stated that I ut tered the sentiment, or indorsed it that 'Slavery is the cornerstoue of the Con federacy." That is not my utterance. His day is done, and his discussion of the mighty problem of this republic are over. His estimate of men is inter esting, as it fixes his relations with those who played in the mighty game with him. Central Express. If matters cannot be lietter, let us be ghid they arc no worse. The Boston Banquet. On Thursday night there was a no table banquet in Boston. Mr. Cleve land fvas the bright star particular of the occasion. His address began with pleasaut words for the Boston mer chants of old, and their successors of to-day. He then passed to the tariff, saving: Equal rights and impartial justice and stipulation of the compact we have entered into with each other as Ameri can citizens, and so nicelv ad i listed is this plan of our political association that favoritism for the sole advantage of any section of our membershin in evitably results in an encroachment upon the benefits justly due to others. But these things sit so li?rhtlv nmn the consciences of many that a spirit of selfishness is abroad in' the land which has bred the habit of clamorous importunity for government aid in be half of special interests imrjerfectlv dis guised under the cloak of solicitude for the public good. Can we see no contrast between the sturdy-reliance of the Boston merchant in me aays tnat are put and the atti tude yon are invited to assume as de pendent upon the favor of the govern ment; ana Denehciaries undents taxing power? Is there not a difference be tween the ideas that formerlv rn-P- vailed concerning the iust and whole some relations which should exist be tween the government and the busness P l i . or tne country and the present tenden cy toward a government partnership in trade? And was there a hint in form er days that especial advantages thus once secured, constituted a vested right wnicn in no event should in the least be disturbed? From the tariff he passed to corrnn- tions at elections and warmlv advo cated ballot reform, and also civil ser vice reform. Henry Grady then made a much long er and more eloquent speech. He did not weigh his words, but spoke out the faith that is in him. If this does not iuvite your patient hearing to-night, hear one thing more. My people, your brothers in the South brothers in blood, in destiny, in all that is best in our prist and future are so beset with this problem that their very existence depends on right solution. Nor are they wholly to blame for its presence. The slave ships of the republic sailed from your ports: the slaves worked in our fields. You will not defend the traffic, nor I the institution. But I do here declare that in its vvise and humane adminis tration, in lifting the slave to heights of which he had not dreamed in his savage home and giving him a happi ness he has not here found in freedom our fathers left their sons a saving and excellent Heritage. In the storm of war this institution was lost. I thank God as heartilyasyou do that human slavery is gone forever from American soil. But the free man remains; with him a problem without precedent or parallel. Note its appalling condition. Two utterly dissimilar races on the same soil with equal political and civil rights almost equal num bers, but terribly unequal in intelli gence's responsibility, each pledged against fusion; one of the century is servitude to the other and freed at last by a desolating war; the experiment sought by neither, but approached by both with doubt these are the condi tions. Under these, adverse at every point, we .are required to carry these two-races in peace and honor to the. end. - And again he said: The white people of the South are banded. Mr. President, not iu predjudice against the blacks, not in sectional estrange ment, not in the hope of political do minion, but in a deep and abiding ne cessity. The negro vote can never control iu the South, and it would be weH if par tisans at the North would understand this. I have seen the white people of a State set about by the black hosts until their fate seemed sealed. But, sir, some brave man, banding ihem to- it 11 va m geiuer4 wouio rise, as JUitaa rose in beleagared Samaria, their eyes with faith, abroad to see the verv the chariots of Israel and touching hid there look air "filled with and the horse man thereof. It there is any human force that cannot be withstood, it is the power of the banded intelligence and responsibility of a free community. Against it numbers an corruption can not prevail. It cannot be forbidden in the laAv or divorced in force. It is the inalienable right of every free com munity the just and righteous safe guard against the ignorant or corrupt suffrage. It is on this, sir, that we rely in the South. Not the cowardly menace of mask or shotgun but the peaceful majesty of intelligence responsibility, massed and unified the protection of its homes and preservation of its liberty. That and for the sir, is our reliance and our hope, and gainst it an tne powers ot earth shall not pre vail. It was just as certain that Virginia would come back to the unchallenged control of her white race that before the moral and material power of her people, once more unified, opposition would crumble until its last desperate leader was left alone, vuinly striving to rally his disordered hosts, a"s that night should fade in the kindling glory of the sun. Yeu may pass force bills, but they will not avail. You may sur render your own liberties to federal election law, you nm submit, iu Te.ir of necessity that may not exist, that the very form of the government may be changed, that this old State, which holds its charter the 4oast that it is a free and independent Commonwealth, , it may deliver its election machinery into the hands of the government it bellied to create, but never, sir nitl n. single State of this Union, North or South, be delivered again to the con trol of an ignorant and inferior race. We wrested our State governments rrom negro supremacy when the fed eral drum beat rolled elopp to the bal lot box and federal bayonets hedged it deoper about than will ever again be permitted in this free government But, sir though the cannon of this republic thundered in every voting district of the South we stilt should find in the mercv of God the means and the courage to prevent its re-es- taotisnnienr. They Should Beginltt Home. Wilmington Star. There are a half dozeu or more Re publican Statesmen. o called, who seem to be verv much disturbed in spirit over the suffrage question in the South, and have drawn upon their in ventive genius to devise plans by which it may be fixed up satisfactory, at least, to them. It is not thesuffrage question on general nrincmles thufc they are so much concerned in ns the suflrage of the "brother in blaeL" which does not pan out satisfaetorilv to these afon said statesmen. That's what they are taxing their colossal brains now to fix up. If they were in earnest and jvere really intent upon correcting abuses in the matter of the ballot, and of bringing about a healthy reform we would suggest that they begin at home, for they would find a fine field for missionary labors of this kind, or even force bills, which they seem to prefer. Is it not a matter of fact that the -Republican party, of which these gen tlemen are so solicitous about the suffrage-question in the South are shinning lights, never goes into the political campaign these Jays without a great fund for the purpose of investment in . doubtful States and districts "where it will do the most good?" Is it not a matter of fact that they levy contributions on Government officials and employes who hold of fice through the votes or appointing powers of that party, tosuell thisf un 1? Is is not a fact that these critrrrbtr-- Loos are forced from those on whom they areievied-at the peril of having their party loyalty questioned in case of refusal, and of losing the places which they hold? Is it not a fact that such contribu tions were levied in the last State cam paigns to help out Billy Mahone in Vir ginia, Foraker in Ohio and other Re publican candidates, in violation of the civil service laws, of which these same gentlemen pretend to be advocates and supporters? Is it not a fact that this was done with the full knowledge and silent ac quiescence of a Repudlican President who also professes to be a supporter of the civil service law? Is it not a fact that assessments were levied upon manufacturers who reaped the b merits of the high protec tive tariff, and when they failed to re spond cheerfully or liberally that the "fat was fried" out of them? Is is not also a well known fact that in some States votes were bought open ly and above board with the money thus contributed? Is it not a matter of f act that Dud ley, with money from this fund, organ ized his blocks of five svstetu in India na, and had men bought like Cattle, marched to the polls and voted, ac cording to the terms of the sale? Is it not a a matter of fact that in many of the manufacturing districts of the North workmen were coerced into voting for the candidates whom their employers supported, through fear of losing the work by which they fed, housed and clothed their wives and children? Is it not a fact that all this was deemed perfectly legitimate from the standard of Republican ethics, that they rejoiced in the victories thus won and enjoyed and' now enjoy the fruits of these victories? Grover Cleveland, in bold ami man ly language, at the merchants1 banquet in Boston last Thursday, referred to this intimidation and corruption of the dependent voters which has been car ried to such a notoriously scandalous extent in some of the Northern States, and incidentally asked how much bet ter was the briber who enjoyed the fruits of the bribery than the oor : al vender of his vote whose necestitie, rather than his cupidity, induced him " to sell it. The man who sells his vote may be pitied or despised, but the roan that buys it is infamous. And yet there is no Republican code of etl ics which teaches that it is wrong to corrupt the voter, and no Republi can of prominence who hasyet had the honesty or the manhood to de nounce it. And they never will, be cause without purchased votes their tenure ot office would soon terminate. Iu view of these facts, ami they are facts, we would suggest that these Re publican suffrage reformers who are now turning their attention to the South had better start out consistently, begin at home and clean up their own premises first. i I -it-- I V 1 1 I I : NV YOU IV.
