For many years we have known of the action of General Grant before the cab inet when he unbuckled his sword and told Stanton and the others with him that if General Lee were molested he would resign from the army and appeal to the American people. He showed a fine sense of military honor. It was in money matters that he was very weak. In: all that touched his honor as a soldier he was sensitive and reso lute. We got our information soma years after it happened. A well known citizen of Wilmington had been . in Washington and told us of it soon after returning. He did not name his in formant, but from the whole tenor of the conversation we concluded in our own mind that it was a distinguished officer of the army. In our editorial work we have several times mentioned Grant's highly honorable and, nobla bearing in the matter. It is perhaps ten years ago since we first wrote of it. Only the -Other day we mentioned it again in an article on "Lee, D. H. Hill and Grant." Yesterday we saw copied a late article from The New York World, headed "Grant's Defence of Lee." It Is stated that President An drew Johnson, a very vindictive man by nature, we add, desired to prosecute General Lee for treason. The World says of one of North Carolina's three presidents: "Andrew Johnson, a renegade south erner, i with all the renegade's intensi ty and with conscienceless desire for self-aggrandizement, which soon af- terwards led him to the other side, undertook, in his celebrated phrase, to 'make treason odious.' He ordered the arrest of General Lee and his lieuten ants, and their indictments for trea son." ! The World gives this account, the first we have ever seen in print save our own repeated reference to it, and it confirms all our friend told us he heard in Washington: "To President Johnson he made a - vigorous personal remonstrance. He told the president that in accepting Lee's surrender he had promised him and 'his .officers and men entire immu nity so long as they should observe their paroles. He told the president that he regarded this as a pledge of his honor as a man and a soldier, and asked that it be not violated. As Johnson remained obdurate, Grant rose in his wrath and said that the ar rest of Lee would be a distinct for feiture of his (Grant's) honor, and that if the president's purpose were persist ed in.i he (Grant) would 'resign the command of the army and leave the American people to decide." i General Grant was probably the greatest nortnern soldier born , "up there." Said an intelligent gentleman to us. quite recently "Did you ever think of the ordinary men in command of the northern armies. Take . Burn side, Hooker, Pope, etc. They had. not the first qualification of a commander in the I field." General Grant bore him self generally better than the Sherman. - Sieridan gang of "moss-troopers." At Vicksburg, at Appomattox, and at Fort Donelson he behaved well, like a sol dier and gentleman. When asked In 1871 about the. scene given above, The World gives what a correspondent fur . nishedl It is too interesting to be over looked: i - . . "I shall never forget the calm em phasis with which he replied to my ' question of what he had intended to do had Johnson not yielded, and as to the form of his proposed appeal to the people. "I meant simply to resign my sword, he said; 'rather than have it dishonor ed. I meant to make a simple state ment of my reasons for my resignation I should have left it to the American , people ; to find a way of rendering their verdic as between Andrew Johnson ana me. '. If ydu will go back to those troubt lous, dark, doubtful days soon after peace, you will -better appreciate the honorable, elevated bearing of Gen eral Grant. The north was in a furor of exejitement, and many of the leaders were bitter and revengeful and talked of "treasons, stratagems and spoils." The great and noble and humane Lin coln had been most foully assassina ted an immense loss to' the south, and it even feels results to this hour, and there were designing malignants who tried to fasten the awful crime upon the south. It was, in such a juncture, in such a crisis, when reason had de serted the heads of the Johnsons, Stan tons and the other plotters, that Gen eral Grant rose above such surround ings and asserted his manhood, hie soldierly honor, his innate kindness. What a contrast there is between him and the base fellow who burned At lanta and afterwards Columbia, and then lied about the latter, trying to put it upon General Wade Hampton. That Sherman ordered the burning of Atlanta, we think even he never de nied, brazen as he was in his effront ery. We have long preserved the evir dence showing it. General Bradley T. "Johnson, in his work on General Jos. E. Johnston, has gathered much evi dence, and conclusive, as to Sherman's guilt in burning not only Columbia, plantation houses, etc. Major S. H. 'M. Byers wrote "fiher man's March to the Sea." It cele brated the most vandalic and destruc tive performance in the wars of the last fifty years, excluding only the butcher Weyler in Cuba. Major By ers has written a narrative poem 'of 2,000 lines celebrating the same out rageous vandalism. We find much of it published in Current Literature for May. From it we copy a few prose lines in explanation that serve to put the, vandalism on Cump Sherman, one of the meanest of the mean. The critic all northern, mind you singer, critic and monthly says: "The burning of Atlanta emphasizes the terrible earnestness of Sherman and his uncompromising method of warfare. After the fall of the city General Sherman ordered all the peo ple to leave the town, and for weeks it was deserted and silent. The unarmed people of Atlanta found, homes where best they could, in viies and on plantations, many of them never to see the city again." - " - , The poet says:( , - . ; "The "city fell and "through. Its every . gate v - " " The people went, and left-it desolate-'! The critic says'.' . -' " " . " The breaking of camp, the marcl? from Atlanta the wide waste xt ruin left by the conquering army is de scribed at length." .. - .We make room for a short sample of Poet sByers' satisfied description, he perhaps thinking it noble" , work and making Sherman, the Goth, . immor tal, but unmortal in his Infamy: "For many miles the serried column spread, . - On many roads their daring horsemen flew, A sight it was, most "beautiful, ?yet dread, . . - ; t : ; ' War's wasting bosom sweeping Geor . gia through, - Destroying all that in its pathway lay, " And threatening towns a hundred ' miles away." He describes the abandoned condi tion of the country through which his vandals marched, and the desolation and ruin wrought so mercilessly. He also describes the "conquering hero." The critic says there is "no narrow or sec- ttnnnl rlrlr in the ooem." but there was great and mastering bitterness and cruelty in old Sherman's heart. It was a bad time for 'Geopgia and the south and a very bad time for the" name and fame of the American destroyer, t whose cruel deeds should be long treasured by the manly men and the true women of the south. One of the best evidences that Ayer'i Hair Vigor is an article of exceptional merit Is the fact that the demand for It is constantly increasing. No one who uses this incomparable dressing thinks of trying any other preparation for the hair. -. ' SPECULATING SENATORS. Are" the laws powerless in their ap plication to United States senators? Is it impossible to bring gambling, ayer icious senators to justice as to public condemnation? Is there no way to un cover corruption and bring speculating rascals with the senatorial toga to the bar of justice as they are now at the bar of censure? It was reported some time ago that certain senators had tak en advantage of, a measure before the senate to make "big money" by private, outside speculations. The big sugar trust fellows. H. O. Havermeyer and J. E. Searles are to . be put on trial In Washington because three years ago they refused to answer questions to give information to a- senate investiga ting committee. The supreme court has lately decided that the committee had power to compel attendance and answers. We hope these sugar rascals may be severely punished- and sleep for some time behind the bars. With' this decision of the highest court why cannot the recent trading, speculating senators be brought to the bar and convicted by the testimony of the fel lows who did the buying or selling for the corruptionists. The new sugar rates in the senate bill open the way for speculation among senators. How much truth there is in the report we of course cannot know. If true it is very bad and should- be Investigated. Senator Tillman is particularly earn est in trying to bring about an inves tigation, and it ought to be held. If men like Allison and Aldirch and others have been really speculating, having taken advantage of the knowledge they have obtained as-members of the sen ate tariff committee they deserve to be jibbeted in public opinion and driven in disgrace from the senate. There are flying reports that the su gar trust rascals have brought to bear upon certain senators "undue in fluence," and if well based thev are most disgraceful and damning to the men concerned. The senators who trade, who levy taxes upon the people for pay, who speculate successfully be cause of information obtained in com mittee are base arid a disgrace to the body, in which they sit and to the states that send them. We share in the opinion of The Houston Post that a scrutiny is necessary and, that if "the upper branch of congress is, corrupt, if any member of that body own sugar trust stock, or is influenced by trust of ficials, the country ought to know it The severe punishment of contuma cious witnesses, followed by another searching investigation, would doubt less be productive of some -satisfactory results. Either the fact would be dis closed that popular rumors were base less and the senate above suspicion, or that there were black sheep in that body who ought to be unmasked. The senate owes it to itself as well as the country that the light should be turned on." Those trust robbers of the people now in the meshes of the law. Haver-? meyer and Searles, can perhaps "a tale unfold" that will shock the Amer ican people, arouse the somnolent! sen ate, and "blow the horrid deed in every eye" and provoke curses both deep and loud.

The new combine superintendent of the state penitentiary has had his bow els of sympathy seriously moved. He expected to find the inmates with the striped clothes a body of poor miserable, impenitent sinners. But, lo! he is over whelmed with surprise and joy ' and gladness fills' his soul. He finds "a religious community." Thesa barba rians who are m for various terms; (un less Tsar Russell concludes to empty the whole collection upon the people by one swipe of his all-powerful pen) for various and most flagrant crimes manslaughter, rape, theft, incendiar ism and so on are not bad men at all, but are a body of saints, who spend their time in worshipping the Lamb and singing praises to Almighty Fath er. Never before was there such a thing heard of since Noah stepped forth from the Ark on Ararat. It should be celebrated in song and story. A peni tentiary filled with religious beings the victims of a cruel law that" punishes crime! Marvel of marvels!. How that new fledgling of a superintendent gazes and wonders at the-marvellous scene! We may suppose that the White Tsar must sympathize and rejoice tob-as he learns of this new" religious aggrega tion of penitentiary victims. He 'must be profoundly moved, and we can be lieve that his great, sympathetic, tend er heart must go out in great yearning towards this saintly body, of stripes If this should be real then we may all look out for an immediate emptying of the 4pen" on the ground that the saints had received already ; enough; punish ment (such are his pleas often) and should be restored to liberty, and with full opportunities to burn .and steal and kill again. We fear that if these fellows should br turned loose by wholesale pardon or in detail,. thai with the gang it may prove like did with the negro recent ly baptized, as reported in an exchange, and who next day was guilty of a dou ble theft.' Rabelias, we thing it .was, long-ago told of the conversion of old Satan himself but he would not stay converted. His well known distich in celebration of this most curious event runs thus: . The Devil got sick; the Devil a monk would be. The Devil got well; the devil a monk was he. . e - "Ten people out of a dozen are inva lids," says a recent meaicai aumonty. At least - eight out of these ten, it is safe to allow, are suffering from some form of blood-disease which a persist ent use of Ayers Sarsaparilla would be sure to cure. Then, don't be an in- valid. HOME FOLKS. The state papers have had something to say latterly of school histories. Some have been discussing the records of North Carolina state troops, an oia theme with The Messenger. It is an important topic. A history of North Carolina in the great war is much heed ed. The editor of The Warren ton Ga zette has an editorial on "North Caro lina History." and reproduces sojne war figures concerning the North Car olina soldiers. The article begins in this wise: ' "The people of North Carolina have ever been too modest to properly put before the world their achievements. and the result is Tnany of her younger sons and daughters do not fully know their extent. TFhis, however, thanks to the efforts of Judge Clark, Dr. Kings bury, Captain Denson, Colonel W. J; Green, Judge Avery and others, will soon be remedied. The schools are now beginning to take up the matter not in a,' spirit of sectionalism, but simply for information and the sake of Truth. Last week the public school of Raleigh made North Carolina his tory during the late civil war a special study." '-' . ' , TO CURE A COLD 1JT ONE DAT. Take- Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

It is gratiflying to know that theSen ate is not asleep as to the enormities perpetrated in Cuba by the bloody Spaniards, and the great sufferings from disease and famine among the people non-combatants. Americans in Cuba are among the famishing. This seems to arouse somewhat the Ameri can lethargy, and even to push the new president to the act of asking the con gress for relief. Old John Sherman, who can flop in twenty-fonr hours upon any public question, is silent as a clam after being as blowing as a por poise. He is playing the part of the dumb man in. the tragedy of "Suppres sion by Killing." The revelations of what is doing and what has been done in Cuba are to be given after very long delay to the Senate. Weyler has brought to the full his devilish plans, and has satiated his cruel nature to surfeiting, and now the country will be informed of it, and the perishing Ameri cans may be looked after, while deso lation and starvation and death do their dolef ul work and smite humanity. Weyler has made a war of desolation and swept everything before the march of his armies. All supplies have been destroyed and the people behind left to perish. It was indeed a war like that of Alaric and Philip the Second of Spain a war upon the people by de stroying all food supplies. It was the devil turned loose in the end of the boastful nineteenth century, and a rep etition of the cruelties of the savage warfare through 4,000 years of misery and crime. It is enough to move a heart of stone, but not a real occasion for fresh foreign complications and and a precipitate war. The Washing ton Post is on the safe side in this view it takes: "The call is one which appeals to pa triotism, as" well as to humanity. We do not, however, follow those who would make this demonstration of Christian' mercy the occasion for an outburst of belligerent feeling against Spain. There seems to be no present occasion certainly no more now than there was six months ago for such an overture. Indeed, there would be a certain discourtesy, as well as danger, in overt action' at this time, since the president has sent his own personal representative to Cuba to make inves tigation, and we may expect his report within a very brief period. At least we can afford to wait for Commissioner Calhoun's testimony before departing from the conservative and considerate policy which has thus far been pur sued." - . ' The people of the United States might render succor to the starving, dying Cubans. Whether the United States government has constitutional power to provide for people of another government may be doubted. But the benevolence of a great, rich people might easily rise to the demands of mercy to relieve the sufferings almost at their very doors. . We are gratified that Virginia's very faithful and eloquent senator, Mr. Daniel, has spoken so forcefully. He does not want -war. He does not advo cate any step that ought to lead to war. But he is opposed to silence and cowardice. He favors the recognition of belligerents after two and a half years of war nay of murder and de struction on the part of the Spaniards. He holds it to be an act of simple man nness and justice to recognize the patriots as belligerents. There are many millions in this country who share in that opinion with the senator. The finer and nobler sensibilities of all true lovers of right and liberty must be" deeply . moved in the contemplation of the bloody record of Weyler and his cut-throat army, with their vandal methods of "pacification," as the butcher calls it. The accounts are har- luwmg, aie uuraiymg. weyier, as - In all the worl d there in no other treatment - so pure, so sweet, so safe, so speedy, for pre- serving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, ; scalp, and hair, and eradicating every hu- mor, as warm baths with Ccticura Soap, ; and gentle anointings with Cuticuiia.
