SATURDAY. - - JULY 1, 1893
We have read some odd things
in the papers lately, but nothing
quite so odd as this from the At
lanta Journal: “There is great un
certainty as to what sort of legis
lation we are to have on the money
question and the tariff, and such
uncertainty destroys confidence and
paralyzes business.”
That the uncertainty of what Con
gress is to do about the tariff is an
element of the situation is going
round one’s elbow to get to the
thumb.
Wheat has touched the lowest
price on record for forty years, and
quantities are now being bought for
Europe. This is hard on the West.
The South also has some new wheat
to sell, for we have raised more
breadstuffs this year than usual.
But our chief crop being cotton,
which has been sold and paid for,
' the South is not so much affected
by the present low prices as the
West, and we are much better off.
When the money scare is over, the
South will go ahead on an un
parallelled career of prosperity,
without having had any serious set
back.
Educated Southerners will be
glad to learn that the Johns Hop
kins University, of Baltimore, has
turned its attention to Southern his
tory. That this great American
University has decided actively to
enter the inviting field of historical
research may be taken as evidence
that others will follow. What may
be called the Johns Hopkins School
of American History is already well
known in both America and Europe.
The prospect now is that within
this group there will be formed a
sub-group devoted to the Southern
work.
The recent announcement of
courses in the historical department
for the coming year contains the
follows:
“Mr. J. S. Bassett will conduct a
conference in Southern History for
graduates (fortnightly throughout
the year). In this course special
attention will be called to the origi
nal sources of the colonial history
of the Southern States and to their
institutional, economic, social, and
educational development. The ac
quisition of the Scharf, Birney and
McCoy collections by the Univer
sity and the resources of the Pea
body Library and the Maryland
Historical Society make it possible
for students in Baltimore to prose
cute original investigations in this
fruitful Southern field.”
Mr. Bassett does this work un
der the direction of Dr. Herbert
B. Adams, the head of the
historical department. He is a
Southerner himself, a native of
of North Carolina, and though still
a young man has prepared, and will
shortly publish, a treatise on “The
Constitutional Beginnings of North
Carolina.” The method followed in
the course will be that followed in
the German universities, known as
the Seminary method. Students will
be encouraged to write and publish
original papers on special topics.
This feature will be supplemented
by papers from various older and
more noted men. All papers will
be lead and commented on around
the conference table.
There has long been cause for re
gret that Southern history has not
been written by Southern men.
Now that a leading university, itself
a Southern institution, goes sys
tematically to work to push South
ern men into the field of Southern
history* there is good ground for
hope that our history and its les
sons may soon be rewritten by ap
preciative hands.
But it is not every man, no mat
ter how high his scholarship and at
tainments, no matter how diligent
and studious he may be, who un
dertakes to write history, who can
do it. He must possess a judicial
turn of mind. Tnat being lacking,
his labor will be spent in vain and
his work, like that of Prof. Trent,of
Suwanee, will only serve to bring
him unenviable notoriety.
A writer in the New York Even
ing Post, deprecating the tendency
to give so much time to athleticr,
says that there is a feeling that the
classical colleges are not doing
their best work. Some of the trus
tees feel that athletics have as
sumed too important a province,
and that there is not enough earnest
work, high thinking and seriousness
of purpose. Comparison is made
with the technical schools to the
disadvantage of the colleges. Al
ready it is said that young men who
are willing to buckle down to hard
work select the technical schools
rather than the colleges. Business
men prefer the technological grad
uates to those from a classical col
lege. The latter do not know how
to do anything in particular, while
the former are able to take up some
particular line and do valuable ser
vice. In a word, there must be more
book work, with a particular object
in view and less sport.
When we suggested some days
ago that our Raleigh Chamber of
Commerce should take the initiative
in urging the President to cal*
Congress at once together, we little
suspected that the same thought
was in the minds of others. But so
it seems. Cincinnati led off, then
Atlanta, and now other towns are
failing in line. Yesterday Raleigh
not only added her voice, but called
on the chambers of commerce gen
erally to express their views.
The President early in the week
was very positive that he would not
alter his determination to have Con
gress meet in September, but the
action of the business men is
beginning to tell on him, and
it is said that he has still un
der consideration the advisability
of naming an earlier day.
We do not believe that he will be
indifferent to Llie viev»o of lire busi
ness men of this country, although
perhaps net inclined to listen to
New York bankers with especial
interest.
In fact we do not doubt that he
will act as desired.
It must be recollected that he and
Secretary Carlisle have been con
cerned about the condition of the
Treasury, and all their attention
was directed at that point. That
was their business. This other
matter, which required them to
take cognizance of the busi
ness interests of the country, is
of a different character, and while
they doubtless observed it, yet until
business men directed their atten
tion to it particularly, they were not
led to consider its great importance.
And yet the President seems to
regard that the overshadowing mat
ter is the silver question, while tkai
has become only a aide-issue. With
silver down to fifty cents in the dol
lar, no one can reasonably expect
Congress to continue ita purchase
as a policy. If other measures be
agreed on that will give relief to
the country, the Sherman law will
be repealed by an overwhelming ma
jority.
Bimettalists, and we are among
the staunchest, must realizo quite
as fully as the President does, that
it is not expedient to insist on try
ing to do what cannot be done.
This country has made an effort to
secure the restoration of silver to
its old place as international money,
but the effort has failed. It would
be folly to go further in that direc
tion under preeent circumstances.
And yet we believe that the world
is making a great mistake in dis
carding silver and relying only on
gold for money. But the world
will have its way, this country to
the contrary notwithstanding. It
has discarded silver, at least tem
porarily, and we can only submit to
its decision.
Since the above was put in type
we have received the President’s
proclamation convening Congress
on August 7th. It would have been
better to have had it even earlier.
But this call will doubtless of itself
do much to ease the strain. Now
let the people let go their currency,
and start the wheels of trade and
industry afresh. All is well that
ends well.
It seems that the President had
to give in when the Raleigh Cham
ber of Commerce addressed him.
The Baltimore Sun has something
to say as to the use of slang. It
remarks: “It would be impossible
for an historian to explain the ins
and outs of American politics, ‘who
could not state frankly that the ma
chine made a slate and that the >n ug
wumps broke it Such an historian
must needs master the meaning of
laying pipe for a nomination, of
pulling wires to secure it, of taking
the stump before election, and of
logrolling after it; he must appre
hend the exact relation of the boss
to his henchmen and his heelers, and
he mußt understand who the half
breeds were, and the stalwarts, and
how the aw allow tails were different
from the short-horns’”
Many words and phrases that are
now slang, have, however come
down to us from the past. Thus,
in the old decisions of the English
courts we read that “that is too
thin;” and so many expressions of
today are found to have been in
common use in Shakespeare’s time.
Os the old words which have
come to life again, “what would
seem more modern, more Western,
even,” asks Mr. Matthews, who has
written on the subject, “than deck
for pack of cards, than to lay oict, or
to lay out cold for knockdown, than
to fire cut for to expell forcibly. Yet
these are all good old expressions.
Deck is Elizabethan, and we find in
Shakespeare’s “King Henry VI” that
“the king was slily fingered from
the deck.” To lay out in its most
modern sense is very early English.
And fire out is in Shakespeare’s
141 h sonnet—“ Till my good angel
fire my bad one out.” There are
doubtless other examples of Eng
lish words, now regarded as slang,
which could trace their origin to
creditable sources. The word
“hustle,” for instance, seems to be
used by Scott in something of its
American sense, and the Century
Dictionary gives “hustler” a place
in its pages, although it marks it
“colloquial, United States.”
Ij«e, Longstreet and Grant,
Communicated,
A second statement contained in
the article in the New Orleans Times-
Democrat by General Longstreet,
copied in your paper of the 21st
inst, is as follows :
“On the defensive General Lee
was absolutely perfect. Bat of the
art of war, more particularly that
of giving offensive battle, I don’t
think he was a master. In science
and military learning he was greatly
the superior of General Graut or
any other commander on either side.
But in the art of war I have no
doubt that Grant and several other
officers were his equals.”
By this distinction Longstreet
means to say that while General Lee
knew the rules of offensive battle,
he did not know how to apply them
any better than Grant and several
others. Science means to know.
Art means to do. (Century Dic
tionary )
This statement is imprudent, and
unworthy of Lee’s great Lieuten
ant, particularly since it is utterly
without foundation in fact. The
world has bowed too long at the
shrine of Robert E Lee, in love
of his sublime character, and ad
miration of his matchless military
genius to give much attention to
the carnim? criticisms, groundless
opinions and unjust couiparißuus oi
Longstreet in regard to his ability
as a military commander.
But as Longstreet is expressing
opinions derogatory to the fame of
Lae, which might be heeded by
some because of his great name, or
through ignorance, it may be well
to marshall against him on this
point the opinions of some of the
greatest actors and witnesses of
that period.
General Scott, Commander in-
Chief of the United States Army,
who led our arms to victory in Mex
ico, said :
“Lee is not only the greatest sol
dier in America, but the greatest
soldier now living in the world.”
General Meade, his opponent at
Gettysburg, said to a Southerner
after that battle, “Lee is your
greatest man.”
Stonewall Jackson said: “Lee is a
phenomenon. He is the only man
whom I would be willing to follow
blindfold.”
Had they been on the same side,
can any one imagine Stonewall
Jackson making such a declaration
as that about Grant. Would he
have been willing to follow Grant
or Longstreet blindfold ? Here are
the words of another Confedrate
General:
“It is said that Lee was strong
only in defence and was averse to
taking the offensive. Nothing
could be more false. He proved
in the last year of the war his fer
tility of defensive resource and un
rivalled tenacity of resistance. But
his genius was aggressive. WitneES
the bold transfer of his army from
Rich mo*'* iU - I4 r r ia ““,
McClellan’s troops rested on the
James River. Witness the audacity
of detaching Jackson from the Rap
pahannock lino to seize Manassas
Junction, and the road to Washing
ton in Pope’s rear. Witness the
magnificent swoop on Harper’s
Ferry of which accident Geneial
McClellan had knowledge, and by
which timidity forbade him to profit.
Witness the crowning glory of his
audacity, the change of front to
attack Harper, and that march
around what Harper called “the
beet position in America held by
the finest army on the planet”
Witness his invasion of Pennsyl
vania—a campaign whose only
fault, if any, was the generous
fault of over-confidence in an army
which had proved invincible and he
was a commander who had met no
equal. If giving battle at Gettys
burg was a fault, it was the fault
of Marlborough at Malplaquet, of
Frederick at Torgau, and of Napo
leon at Borodino. Lee chose no
defensive of his own will.”
Does Longstreet find in Grant,
at Cold Harbor such splendid offen
sive ability that bis admiration is
aroused to the extent of daring to
compare him with Lee. Did he not
there in disregard of both the
science, and art of war, and of hu
manity as well, hurl his brave
troops to horrible slaughter, until
they stood still in their ranks and
refusing to further obey his orders,
silent witnesses to the genius of
Lee, and the heroism of his troops ?
Did he not confess in his memoiis
his want of skill at Cold Harbor ?
What evidence of military genius
comparable to Lee’s, can Longstreet
find in Grant’s famous expression
“I will fight it out, on this line if it
take 3 all summer.”
Grant at that time opposed the
shattered, starved and ragged rem
nant of the army of Northern Vir
ginia, with an army four times its
strength, fully equipped and sup
plied. That boast might have been
made by the commonest sol
dier in his army. That sentiment
evinces no military science or art,
and certainly no brilliant offensive
tactics.
The Cincinnati Enquirer said :
“There is no man bo bigoted today
as not to believe that, if Grant had
commanded the ill provided, half
fed army that stood like a wall of
fire around Richmond, and the com
mand of that grand army that went
down to the Wilderness could have
been given to Dee, the lhg of the
Union would Lave lloated over the
Confederate Capitol long before it
did.”
The Montreal Telegraph said:
“Posterity will rank Gen. Lee above
Wellington or Napoleon, before
Saxe or Turenne,above Marlborough
or Frederick, before Alexander or
Canar. He is the greatest General
of this or any other age.”
The London Times, in an able
review of Col. Chesney’s book, after
an extended notice of Gen. Grant,
concludes as follows : “This deter
mined soldier (Grant) is not, how
ever—and Col Cbesney agrees with
our judgment —tube compared with
his greatest opponent in the highest
attainment of the military art; and
as Hannibal towers above Scipio,
notwithstanding Ztma, so does the
figure of Lee eclipse that of Grant,
though he succumbed to the North
ern chief.”
I quoto from a high Northern
source an extract as follows: “The
Army of the Potomac was better
than its commanders. It marched
and fought for four years hardly
ever animated by victory. Ifcßhowed,
in all it achieved and endured, that
it was an admirable instrument for
the hand that knew how to wield it,
but it never had the good fortune
to be commanded by a soldier
worthy of it. While Lee led his
ill supplied army from victory to
victory, year after year, defeating
with terrible losses tli9 wonderfully
organized, perfectly equipped, lav
ishly supplied, constantly reinforced
Army of the Potomac.”
I conclude this article with seme
extracts from the war articles writ
ten for the North American Review
by Gen. Vi3count Wolesley, of the
English army. “Few of the North
ern genc** 1 *^ 0 Knew ail the Cir
cumstances would have liked to put
the question of the greatness us the
two leaders (Lee and Grant) to the
vote of the army. The Confederate
soldiers acknowledged Grant’s dog
gedness, and they bad begun to re
alize at the end of the (Cola Har
bor) campaign that if the North
would allow its soldiers to be ex
posed to such frightful butchery,
the North at that price might tri
umph; but not for a moment did
they lose confidence in their own
great leader. * * * *
“With the greatest respect for
Gen. Longstreet as a soldier, it
must be admitted that there is at
times a tone in his writings about
both Lae and Jackson which grates
on the ear.” * * * *
“Gen. Longstreet may possess, and
he certainly does possess, some very
brilliant qualities, but that of ap
preciating the military genius of his
great commander cannot be reck
oned among them ” * * *
“Longstreet mercilessly criticized
Gen. Loe's Chancellorsville cam
paign, in which Lee outgeneraled
Hooker, and, with only GO,OOO men,
overwhelmed the Union army of
130,000 men, and not only stopped
the invasion of the South, but
opened the way to the invasion of
Pennsylvania. Longstreet criticiz3d
this campaign, yet it was Lee’s con
duct of this very campaign that
caused Stonewall Jackson to de
clare, ‘Lee is a phenomenon, I would
follow him blindfold 1”
“I do not know how it will strike
others, but to me there is something
unspeakably pathetic about the pic
ture of Lee, that man of marvellous
» wJtv/ Uv TV liV)
by his skill and daring, was then
exciting the admiration of the world,
thus criticized by his carping lieu
tenant. (Longstreet.) * *
“Gen. Lee was the most remarka
ble man the civil war produced, and
I cannot admit that Gen. Grant pos
sessed at all the same genius for
command.”
The conclusion from the authori
ties reviewed in the present and
preceding paper, is that:
Longstreet lost the battle of Get
tysburg by not obeying the order of
Gen. Lee, upon whom he endeavors
to fix the responsibility of that loss.
The policy and plan of that bat
tle, both of which have been criti
cized by Longstreet, have been en
dorsed by the greatest warriors of
the world.
Longstreet’s attempt to distin
guish “Lee’s science and art of]
battle”, saying he was perfect in thr
one and defective in the other, it
without foundation, since the ablest
military critics of this and
countries have long since J-o
--nounced him perfect in both; 4nd
lastly, Longstreet’s audacity in Com
paring Grant with Lee in any re
spect as a soldier, is so unsupported
by the military, scientific, artistic,
expert opinion of the world, that
we are forced to suspect h’s motive,
or to believe he was in one of his
“bad moods” that Gen. Wpoleeey
speaks of, at the time he mfcde the
comparison. /
Longstreet was great ip battle.
The South will cherish tbq memory
of his brilliant battles and splendid
heroism, but she demands that he
shall keep his hands off of her idol,
the embodiment of chivalry and the
very incarnation of the spirit of
war—the beloved and incomparable
Leo.

Communicated.
Thomasville, Juue 29, 1893.
A few days ago Mr. Thomas J.
Finch, of Wheatmore, Randolph
county, received a B ; isf oma news
paper containing a notice of the
death of his unci \ Mr F. G. Finch,
in his eightieth yt-ar.
The old gentleman took his gun
aud started to visit one of IDs chil

thought that he must have had
either soma heart trouble or
paralysis, and died out in the
woods. His body was not found for
ten days, and it was almost entirely
devoured by hogs His watch aud
a part of the clothing and gun were
laying near by, which caused every

greatly beloved by all who knew
him. His brother, the father of Mr.
T. J. Finch, still lives near Wheat

The mayor of TuomasvilJe sued
out a warrant against Mr. Gray,
who is a resident of Lexington, but
carrying on the stave business on
an extensive scale near this place.
Mr. Gray, as it appears from the ev
idence, received permission from
the receiver of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company’s office,
giving him authority to erect a shed
on the line of the road in the cor
porate limits of Thomasville for the
storage of his staves. In accordance
with this authority Mr. Gray com
menced to erect a shed of dimensions
prescribed by the Danville Rail
road Company, and after he had
about half completed it, he was en
joined by a warrant from the Mayor
not to proceed with it further, as it
was upon what was known as the
town Commons and the erection of
the shed was regarded by the town
as a nuisance. Mr. Gray completed
his shed, and was today trlod be
