lee and davis.
The Sooth is honoring both the
living and the dead. While Geor
gians and people of other States as
semble at Macon in immense numbers
to do honor to that pare, upright,
very able, eminent citizen, Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, who was chosen
by the people to be the Chief Exec
utive of the young and puissant
Sduthern Confederacy which they
r; sought to establish by their own
strong arms, the people of Virginia,
- and visitors from other States, are
doing honor to the memory of Rob
ert Edward Lee, the knightliest
soldier of all the world. There is no
treason or stratagem in these things.
It is a brave, great people showing
their love and admiration for devo
tion to principle and to the highest
types of. Christian manhood. With
the utmost deliberation we have again
and again asserted that the noblest
qualities of manhood in highest de-
veiopmen were most nappny united
in Lee. Where else but in Shakes-
peare, the greatest master of expres-
sion this world has seen, can you find
fitting words for the portrayal of
such a grand and peerless character?
1 he great poet thus described Lee
in two passages :
. "He sits 'mongst men, like a descended god.
r He hath a kind of honor sets him off,
More than a mortal seeming."
'This was the noblest Roman of them all.
-
. - His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that nature might stand
up
And say to all the world, This teas a man."
Lee was chivalrous, courageous,
noble, generous, great. He was
more: he was gentle, sweet, just,
lovable, full of human sympathy and
human attachments. He loved
truth and duty as but few men ever
loved those cardinal virtues. He
Joved his wife, his children, his
friends, his country, as only the ten-der-hearted
and good ever love
them. With all of his high genius
, for war he was as gentle as a lamb
' and open to every appeal from the
Slowly as well as from the high. He
lacked that sternness of character
that was sometimes necessary in a
r great leader in a great crisis.
There was too much of gold and
not enough of iron in his character
for a perfect leader in a time of ut-
: 'most peril. He had all the' other
high qualities, and no man was ever
loved more by troops that the rag
ged and often bare-foot soldiers of
: - the Army of Northern Virginialoved
.;uee. mere was nothing that he
could ask them to. do that they would
not try to do. Hit' appeal to them
' was as the appeal of the - honored
father to the . devoted son . : In" Eu-
' , rope-he ' is? justly regarded as the
greatest' soldier ever bornon ih
American continent.

m and and in action. Long's fine life
of the great' Confederate soldier, will
do muoh in letting the world see the
trne nubility And grandeur and beau
ty of Lee's superlative character. . j;
Vireima has ' been1 indeed the 1
mother of States and Statesmen. No
American State ever produced -anything
like the number of great men
that she haB produced. The roll of
her men is long and illustrious. We
can name a half hundred and still
leave the list incomplete. A Com
monwealth that can name as its sons
Washington, . Jefferson, Madison,
Henry, John Randolph, Henry Clay,
and many other men of celebrity and
high abilities in statesmanship and
oratory may well be proud of her
offspring. A State that can point
among her children to such soldiers
as Washington, . 5'Light-Horse Har
ry," (Gen. Lee) father of the great
Confederate, to Robert E. Lee, Jack
son, Jo Johnston, Thomas, Jeb
Stuart, Early, and A. P. Hill may
well claim that she stands foremost.
We honor Virginia for what she has
been and what she has done. When
her living sons gather in her beauti-
ful and delightful city to rear a mon
ument in memory of the greatest
American soldier and the most exalt
ed type of manhood they do well, and
all manly men in the North will say
well done.
The venerable President of the
Southern Confederacy, now nearly
eighty years old, still livee, feeble
and broken in health, but with his
mental faculties preserved in full
vigor;with the same high convictions
of duty; with the same undying at
tachment to liberty and to a consti
tutional government; with unfalter
ing love and erratitude to nis coun-
trymen; with brimming ardor for the
right and an unconcealed dislike for
the wrong; with the' virtues that sur.
pass all stoicism; with a soul without
taint and a character without sUid,
a lover of truth and honor and manli
ness and of his own Southern people;
with the faith of a believer in the
Son of God, N the Saviour and Re
deemer of sinners; with high in
tellectual faculties disciplined by
study and broadened by age
Jefferson Davis is this day
the highest expression of Christian
manhood and statesmanship that
walks the American continent. The
Southern people but honor them
selves in honoring him. They would
deserve the censure of all men if they
failed to pay just homage to the vie
arious sufferer of the whole South.
With this noble Southron we rejoice
to believe old age brings much of
solacement and joy. There is "mu
sic at the close." When the last
summons shall come, we have no
doubt all will be well, and then it
may be said,
"He gave his honors to the world again.
TV 1 . . . TW . .

When Southern people assemble
to receive 8uch a manso typicaif BO
representative -they are discharging
a duty and are ennobling themselves,
Long live Jefferson Davis !
Both Gen. Lee and Mr. Davis
were members of the same Christian
communion the Protestont Episco-

BEFOR9I IN RHODE ISLAND.
Tariff reform has even struck
manufacturing .Rhode Island. So
great is the ehange of sentiment in
that remote corner of the country in
regard to the robber Tariff that
Judge Charles S. Bradley, the Dem-
t.1 n y-i
uurawu cauuiuate ior vjongress, is
running on the Tariff reform plat
form and making speeches against
the Republican Barbed Wire Fence
arrangement. He makes the Tariff
the issue in the contest. In a recent
speech he said:
"is it not for the interests of a manufac
turing community like Rhode Island to
have raw materials introduced free of du
ty f Uan anybody doubt about that it
would be the best plan for Rhode Island to
have these duties removed? Of course it
is. it bo happens that in the two adjoin-
mg districts of Massachusetts, old Repub
lican districts which, have the same diver
sity of occupation that we have in these

would have bad that relief to the manuf ae-
turing industries to-day which is so naces-
sary. And it may be, gentlemen, that it
uepenas upon your vote in this . election
wneuer you get it or not."
Just as. New England, and the
Northwest are getting -siok at the
stomach over the. excessive doses of
protective Ipecacuanna, the political
I quacks in the South are trying to
force huge doses of the same nause
ating and distressful- drug into the

In the' November ' number of ' the
American Monthly there is a charm-,
ing paper by that gifted son of ! the

"Paul Hayne and His Poetry." As

delicate, appreciative and sympathet
io. We are glad to Bee so well known
a man of letters discussing with bo
much delicate insight and discrimi
nation one of the greatest of Southern
poets and one of the most admirable
of men. The whole paper is excel
lent and is worth reading. Mr.
Thompson thinks Laaier the greatest
poet born in the South. Where is
Poe ? Does he class him as Northern
because it is alleged he was born in
Boston by aocident ? Thackeray was
born in India, but he regarded himself
as purely Eogiish.
Julian Hawthorne, a writer of
unique and original powers a veri
table genius, as was his great father
discusses in the American Monthly
the present aspects of "Literature."
He doea not take a roy view of
American literature, however high
his opinion of English literature. He
sas:
"Very few independently American
books are written; and. when they are
written, it will occasionally happen that
the reader fails to regard them, with much
patriotic enthusiasm. On the other hand,
the reader, if he be enlightened to the de
gree of possessing a conscience (which is
perhaps a wild supposition, unless he hap
pens to he also an American author), is
somewhat regretful of the merits of Tolstoi,
Daudet, Rider Haggard and Stevenson,
and is indignant at, while he profits by. the
fact that their books are. not only better
reading than most of our native growth,
but are aUo purchasable for twenty cents
or lee 8 Congress ia accordingly petitioned
to put a stop to the robbery of foreign au
thors, prominence being given to the argu
ment that such. robbery ,s contrary to the
dictates of abstract morality." -
It would possibly bemore to the. point if
we were to ask Congress to pass a law mak
ing it incumr-ent on American .authors to
write better books, or at least to prevent
foreign booVa from being so good.
"At yet, having in mind our years and
necessities, my only surprise is that there
are any good American books at all. The
strongest and most imaginative minds
among us find other things to do than to
produce literature."
Mr. Hawthorne thinks Tourgee's
laBt novel. "Button's Inn" is the
m
best American novel for the vear.
He says :
"Everything in his book is strong, pic
turesque and genuine; there is a touch of
poetry tn the treatment, which raises it
above the level of the ordinary by apply
ing these descriptions to human life and
character."
Tourgee long ago impressed us
with his own superior abilities and
meanness. His "C" letters were very
able and remarkable productions.
His novels burlesauintr the South
were faite,. wbetb, a. ,H-
erature or politics. They were lies
and travesties.. If he has really writ-
ten a eood novel, he but confirms oar
judgment of him as an uncommonly
able man. .

CURRENT COMMENT. m
As the scattered legions of
the late Confederacy gather at
Macop, and pass in improviied col
umns before the living representa
tive of a heroio cause, what painter
is there who should not aspire to put
the scene npon a glowing canvas?
Honor to Davis! No man, in the
tide of time, ever stood more grand
lymore imperially for Principle.
No victor's wreath encircles the
brow of Jefferson Davis. So hath it
been ordered by the Supreme Ruler
of men and nations. Not the less
will history enroll his name high on
the lists of statesmen and patriots.
Nor less true is it that the period
will come when a living Union will
unite with an extinct Confederacy in
honoring his name. This will be
when time shall have obliterated the
traces of passion and made clear to
all American eyes the inherent glory
of genuine manhood. Columbia

Green fc Co.. in their cotton circular, aav
Cotton options have shown animation and
numerous 1i net nation, many of them sharp
ana unexpected, yev the ruling feature of
the situation was its absorbing capacity and
Its tendency to stand up well against the
pressure. Considerable long cotton was
spilled out, and there has been evidence of
fresh short selling, especially on behalf ot
the South, but confidence in cotton met the
supply with an investing demand, and the
bulk of the business was dose on an ad
vancing scale of 6&8 points for late mnntftj
and 11 12 points on October. At the close
the extremes were somewhat modified, but
ue reeling was steady.
