Tbs Vasli Dai toss si tbs Mm Wbo Muscled tbs CsbIWm> ey’s Cigirst ChlaUaia.—Osty tbs Curt Rats af a Gentleman. Richmond Nnit T coder This controversy between Gen eral Nelson A. Miles1 and the members ol the family of Presi dent Davis, of the Confederate States of America, is a very re markable chapter of history. Certainty nobody would have dreamed forty years ago that tbe ranking general of the United Stale* army would find it neces sary to make painfully laborious explanations of his treatment of the man who was then a prison er in his bands, captive chief of an obliterated country and the object of tbe execrations of twen ty millions of victorious and an gry people. Time is tbe old justice who tries all offenders ana puts things right. These pawing year* have brought thought, knowledge and comprehension and have given the people of ell sections of this country the opportunity to weigh things justly and to judge men and events by tbe realities. The result is that whatever may be thought of i Jefferson'Davis as a stateaman and commander-in chief, tbe belief in the purity of bis personal character and the honesty of his purposes has be come universal Equally uni versal is the condemnation of tbe unnecessary and barbarous cruelty to which he was subject ed. Therefore, General Miles after all this time, tec agnizes tbe necessity of trying to defend himself and to justify bis acts as a young, popular and rising of ficer toward his once discredited and helpless prisoner. The de fense is pitifully weak. It rests upon as curt and nouoommital a ■ote as a gentlewoman ever w»v»v. • «|iparcuujr bad received from General Miles on the day sbe wrote. Msy, 23 1863, some concession or kind ness ' which sbe promptly ac knowledged, taking the occasion to add s special and urgent plea to him to be kind to ber impris oned husband. Nothing in that note indicates that General Miles had been kind, ipercifnl or len ient to Mr. Davis. 'The implica tion is all to the contrary. If the general coarse of treatment toward Mr. Davis bad been kind ly, respectful, or even decent, it is fair to assume that Mrs. Da vis would have used the oppor tunity to say so. To the contra ry. sbe confines herself strictly to the conversation of that morn ing. When a woman thinks it necessary to make special ac knowledgment or a courteous and kina answer on one occasion she gives abundant reason to be lieve that she baa been sadly ac customed to other treatment. General Miles msy explain and explain. He cannot soften the facts.. We do not believe in reopening old sores-*1 or keeping alive the bitterness apd the re sentments of a most lamentable strife, which, was worth how ever, all it cost us becanst of tba illustrations it gave of the qualities of American manhood on both sides. Nevertheless, it is true that General Miles, nnder the orders of his superiors, was left free to shape bis own course toward Mr. Davis sod that he cboae to adopt a policy of un necessary cruelty and humilia tion. He cannot escape the consequences of his own act. TV. -- .1 .■_ _ country, clarified by lapse of time end sober thought, revolts against that act. General Miles, catering weakly to the frenxy of time, did e thing unworthy of e gentleman and a soldier end went out of his way to insult, ^humiliate and torture an eMerhr and heipleaa prisioner whose character, position and misfor tunes alike appealed for respec All consideration,, The defeated peeple of the South) who rfere unnecessarily insulted through their former president peveMsfO forgive this, and there is every reason to believe that the peo Ci of the North respect that ling and share it. General Miles will carry the burden of Jefferson Davis’s fetters as long M he lives end bis name and fame will suffer from them. It is a strong illustration of poetic justice that long after the assn who suffered and was fettered is dead sad in bis quiet grave, the living, atm* end prosper oua men responsible for his stir ferings is condemned to carry the shaase of the man sales he forced on another. —--v— Concord ie to have a new $100,000 yam still.

In 1881 be withdrew from tbe Clark firm and organised an other banking bouse, with him self at its bead. This was tbe firm of Jay Cooke & Co. that speedily became tbe most nota ble banking house ef its day. and bad a great deal to do witb tbe constant stream of men. provis ions and munitions of war that the Uoieu government was able to pour into the Sooth. 'Tbe Cooke firm Negotiated nearly all tbe war loans and be came immensely wealthy. Thru came tbe crisis of 1873, that rej suited in tbe greatest panic this country baa ever seen. Tbe market was tottering, when sud denly tbe failure of the great banking firm of J. Cooke & Co. was anuouoced. The greatest figure of the time in American finance bad fallen, and the shock wat felt not only in New York and all tbe American cities, bat also shook tbe exchanges of London, Paris snd Berlin. The crash carried with it hundreds of small firms and canned tbe moat stringent times financially that tbe country has ever known The firm had 3.200 creditors, and tbe man who bad raised $2, 000,000 for his government had not a dollar of his own. Cooke lost $5,000,000 in one day. He started life anew ‘ as a broktr, and in a short time be gan to maka more money and secured credit. Through men be bad favored in bis more pros peroms days be got into a deal with Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon and others, bsilt s rkflroad to tbe Horn Silver mines, in Utah, and acquired a fifth interestin that property.

It is somewhat remarkable that the people In large cities are willing to make greater sacrifi ces for good country roada than ate (.he farmers the sisals as. “Of course, good roada im prove tbc whole state and every citixtn la more or lessbcotfitted.

The New York of commerce, by a naanl mow vote, baa adapted a committee * report urgiagtfae improvement oftbe cood try roada as indispensable to tbe economical conduct of tbc internal com ms res of tbe state. rne euabei of commerce, in adopting this resolution, approv 'd tba proposed amendment to the coDititution of the state of New York, which provides that a defat or debts of the mats mav be authorised by law for the im nroyement of highway*, tfae ag freeate of the debts so antbor. iaed not to excaed $50,000,000 at one time. It is recommended that the legislature pass as eaa Mine act to submit this amend ment to the people at the elec tion next fail. TPhe opposition is expected to come almost entirely from the farmer*. It is estimated that the farm products imaed far inaihet in the ■tate of Mew York ansually weigh 12.000,000 tons. All of this vast tonnage ha* to be haul ed over the public roads to the railroad station or to the nearest market town. The average dis tance is apt leas, probably, than the coat of b-dHng that tonnage over a bad road is not less than 23 to 50 cents a too a mile, or an ag gregate of $9,000,000 a year and ®P* A good mad saves nearly half tbiscoet,and hence the coat of bad roads is one of the benvieti burden, the farmers mast bear.
