BILL ARP'S LETTER.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
As old Uncle Bob Rodgers said,
"The southern people are the most
forgiveness people in the world."
They will suffer more and suffer lon
ger, and then if their enemy smiles
on 'em and feeds 'em with a littje
sugar, they will lick his hand and
forgive him.
I was ruminating about this when
I read of the president's visit to
Charleston, and the grand ovation
they gave him. It hasn't been two
months since he said in public at a
banquet that our secession was an
archy. It hasn't been very long
he wrote in his life of Tom Benton
this sentence, "Before Jefferson Da
vis took his place among' the arch
traitors, he had already been known
as one of the chief repudiators of
his state, and it was not unnatural
that to dishonesty ; he should add
treachery to tho public." Mississip
pi did repudiate her public debt,
and so did Michigan aiid some other
northern states, but Mr. Roosevelt
singles out a southern state to give
a slam at Mr. Davis aud the south.
Now the-truth is that Mr. Davis had
nothing In the world to do with it
It was done before he came into
public life or had anything to do
with public affairs. I reckon Roose
velt got it from John Stuart Mill's
slanderous history when he says "Mr.
Davis was governor of Mississippi,
and when the legislature passed a
bill to pay the repudiated bonds he
vetoed it." What a monstrous'Ee !
Mr. Davis never was governor of
Mississippi, and no such bill was ever
The greatest ambition of Amer

passed. "The moral difference be
tween Benedict Arnold on the one
hand and Aaron Burr or Jefferson
Davis on the other is the difference
between a politician who sells hit
vote for money and one supports a
bad measure to get a high political
position." What malignant venom
there must be in a man who would
class Jefferson Davis with Arnold
and Burr: what amazing ignorance
of historical facts to call him an arch
traitor and a chief repudiator when
at the very time of the repudiation
he was organizing a regiment to
fight the battles of hi3 country on
the soil of Mexico. There he was
desperately wounded, and for five'
years went on crutches. Our south
ern people regard Jefferson Davis
with emotions of the highest admi
ration, and I have supreme contempt
for the ignorant or malignant his
torians and politicians who assail
him. It gratifies me immensely that
the president and General Miles have,
fallen out, and that Miles got the
worst of it, though I don't know
who deserves the most scorn, the
president for slandering Mr. Davis
or Miles for putting shackles on him.
Now if Roosevelt was man enough
to retract what he wrote and ascribe
it to ignorance or misinformation,
he could restore himself to some ex
tent to the favor of our pjople, for
it is a fact that we are the most for
giveness people on the earth, but I
have never yet known a Yankee pol
itician to apologize for anything he
did. They are the saints. The G.
A. R.'s invito our boys to banquet
with them, but they don't apologize,
and they woulden'tvote us a pension
to save our lives, I don't understand
the president, and my opinion is he
don't understand himself. I don't
believe he has mind enough to know
his own mind. If he is really for
civil war reform and an honest gov
ernment, what did he turn out
Evans for and put in a figurehead,
unless it was to tickle the G. A. R.'s
(grab all rascals) and get their influ
ence in the next nominating conven
tion. Perhaps he is himself the man
''who supports a bad measuru to gut
high political position." Well, of
coarse any son-of-a-gun can get a
pension now and some who uever
had a gun. I believe a confederate
soldier can get one by greasing the
pension agent. Only last week one
of our esteemed fellow-citizens had
business that called him to a city in
New York state and on being intro
duced to the pension agent as Cap
tain he was asked what service
he was in. He replied, "In the Vir
ginia army." "So was I," said tho
agent. "Have you gotten a pension?
"No," said the captain. "Well, let
me make out your application ; it is
time you had one." The captain
humored him for some time while he
was filling up the blank. "Were
you at the surrender ?" said he. "1
vas," said the captain. "Whose
command were you in then?" said
the agent. "General Wade Hamp
ton's." said the captain. "The devil
you say; you were a rebel, then.
Gentlemen, here is the first rebel I
have ever made out a pension claim
for and he looks line such a gentle
man. I've a good notion to send it
up and get him one." The captain
says he could have gotten one as eaxy
as falling off a log, if he had just
lied a little. Newt Tumlin told me
a long time ago that the only way to
get even with the republicans was to
grease 'em or jiue 'em, but it was
safer to do both.
But our people will forgive Teddy
if he will apologize for the past and
behave in the future. lie has some
srood traits which he inherited from
hid mother, but his impulses and
emotions are uot well balanced. His
gun goes off. half cocked and he
shoots with the double waubles. J
think he has about lethe nigger
alone and 30 has the north, generally.
We lynched one in Rome the other
day and I have never seen any men
tion of it in their papers. Our gov.
ernor didn't even offer a reward nor
has the circuit judge made any fuss
about it. I reckon the towns and
cities will now sympathize with the
country people, for the crime in this
case was committed in the very cen
ter of the city and so was the lynch
ing, and nobody was disguised. I
have been in favor of lynching ever
since they burned that negro iu Dal
las, Tex., and I am still. When
they lynch one they ought to pick
out about a dozen bad ones and whip
them and make them leave the coun
try. That's the way they do in
Texas. Every community is in dan
ger from mean, idle negroes. Whose
wife or daughter will be the next
victim ?
If Teddy had been in Rome, I
wonder what he would have done.
I believe he would have joined the
lynchers. Why not? He is killing
them by the thousands in the Phil
ippines for no crime except loving
their country. Our so-called sold
iers are putting them to torture of
the most horrible kind, and burning
