This distinguished soldier aud patriot
has written a letter to Governor Porter
in which he properly characterizes the
despicable men who attempted to black
ball him at a recent meeting of the com
mittee at Chicago. which proposed to in
vite prominent ext onfederates to attend
the reunion of Federal soldiers al Chi
cago next month. He pays his special
respects to one General Frank Sherman,
who seems to be more valiant in peace
than he was in war, and to others Of that
ilk who kept themselves out Of harms
way when there was fighting to do, but
have been at the front aver since in stir
ring mp strife and sectional prejudice.
Gen. Beauregard further explains what
his position was. He, with Stonewall
Jackson, after the first battle of Man
assas, favored a war " to the knife" be-
lieving that it would thereby sooner
cone to an end, with less destruction
finally Of life and property, He says he
always treated prisoners we'll and never
made a war on old men, women and
children. The number Of Federal pris-
oners taken South was 26O, $40; died,
22,596; Confederate prisoners taken
North, 100000; died, 26,435. That is
two Of the former out of every twenty
two and two of the latter out of every
fifteen, which settles the question Of
treatment North and South. The Gen.
erals letter is long and bristles with
facts and points.

The subject of the reform of the mar
riage laws of Great Britain was brought
up in the House of Lords, March 10,
by Lord Chelmsford. After the cor.
clusion of the well known Yelverton
case, a Roysl Commission, which o n
sisted Of the most distinguished lawyers
of England, Scotland andIreland was ap-
pointed in 1865 to inquire into the mar
riage laws of the United Kingdom, and
to arrange them, if possible, into our
uniform code. This commission made
a report in 1868, which contained a com.
plete summary of the marriage laws Of
the kingdom, laid down the principles of
a sound law of marriage, and recon-
mended the steps necessary to secure
the desired uniformity. The report has
never been acted upon, although Lord
Chelmsford, who was the Chairman Of
the Commission, stated that he had urged
every ministry. upon its accession to
power, to act upon it. he inquired
what course the present ministry inten-
ded to pursue. In reply, the Lord
Chancellor declined to pledge the Gov
eminent to any legislation IN the mat
ter. Lord Selborne then said that the
remarks of the Chancellor left on his
mind the impression that government
in this country had lapsed into a deplor-
able state Of weakness and indecision
with regard to the largest social subjects
and to their dealing with the most gen,
eral interests Of the community" The
London Times in its comments upon the
discussion, says that Great Britain has
to look to Indiana for worse marriage
laws than its own; quotes Lord Sell
borne's statement, and adds that a
government like the present, with a ma
jority in each House of Parliament,
could settle such questions IF it had
any backbone OF its own

FAILURES FOR 1875.

The total number of failures in the
country for the first three months of
this year is 1888; amount of liabilities,
$685. 22. Of these failures only %
were in Tennessee; liabilities, $l43, 765.
By comparing these figures with the an
nual reports of former years, it will be
seen that the failures this year have not
been much greater than usual. Taking
all things into consideration, the pros.
pect is rather encouraging. These fig
ures and conclusions are well set forth
in a circular from Dunn's Commercial
Agency. AS the result Of the hard times,
people are keeping out of debt. 1t is a
matter of necessity, if not of choice,
and once in the habit of paying as they
go, they will realize the great advantage
Of the cash system, and will learn to
greatly prefer a small certainty to large
futures. The year of the centennial is
a proper time to return toward the hab-
its Of our more frugal and prosperous
ancestors.
