THE VERDICT OF HISTORY.

THE VERDICT OF HISTORY.
1 know full well that, ia the person of
Jefferson Davis, thousands of men in the
North see incarnated the genius of rebel
lion. Those politicians who, ghoul-hke,
live upon what ought to be buried will
never welcome a truthful picture OF the
chieftain of the lost cause. We give full
credit to Lees superb generalship, and
acknowledge the prowess of Stonewall
Jackson, and, in doing so, exalt the tri-
umphs of our arms over fOeman so worthy
of our steel. But upon Jefferson Davis,
as the civil head of the Confederate
government, we visit the ardcr1 Of pa
triotic hatred. He is the popular scape-
goat. The dispassionate muse OF history,
who stays her pen till the murmurs OF the
passions excited by fratricidal war die
away, will, in the future, pronounce her
calm judgment on the puollc deeds of
Jefferson Davis.
The history Of civil war can never be
written in the generation in which it oc-
CURED. Fundamental questions underlay
the war between the states. 1t was the
BILE conflict" The consideration OF that
vast war, and the causes which led to it,
belong to the realm of philosophlc history.
| have in this hasty sketch given my indi
vidual impressions of a man conspicuous
in the annals of our time. No one can be
brought into contact with Mr.. Davis and
hot receive the impression of his intelectu-
al superiority to the mass of men. He is
born leader. In private life Jefferson
Davis is kindly and courtly gentleml n i,
admired by his friends, and beloved by his
humble dependents.

CLOSING EXERCISES OF MONTE VISTA
SCHOOL.-This excellent school near
Waynesboro, of which Mrs. Virginia c.
Hamilton is the accomplished and success
full Principal, held it's closing exercise
yesterday. The school room was very
prettily decorated with cedars and flowers
and across the wall in evergreen letters
was the name sMonte VISTA" The pro-
grammes in white and gold set forth a
very charming entertainment by the little
ones which included the chanting of the
Lords Prayer, several pretty songs and
some good elocution. An appropriate ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. F. Kuegele of
the Evangelical Lutheran church. The
exercises were followed by a picnic at
which the table was loaded with the lux
uries of the season which were greatly en-
loved by those fortunate enough to be
there. The patrons of the school vera
warm in their praise of the manner in !
which the school had been conducted and /
the progress Of the pupils. q

WARRANTS FOR SMALL DEBTs.-The

act now reads:
1. Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly,, that section seven Of chapter one hun
dred and forty-seven, Code of Virginia,
edition Of 1878, be amended and re-enacted
so as 10 read as follows:

exceeding twenty, and not exceeding tblr-
ty dollars, he may stay execution on it six
ty days from its date; if the judgment be

stay execution on it ninety days from it's
date, on such securities being given in eth
er case for it's payment As he may deem suf-
fcient From any judgment rendered by
justice in any case OF which he has juris-
diction, the justice rendering it may with
in ten days on such securities being given

The American Rifeman's Exhibition Before
the Prince of Wales.

The New Haven palladium" publishes
the following extract from private letter
giving an account of DR.. Carver's exhibit
tion of his shooting before the Prince of
Wales:
The doctor received a message from
the Prince Of Wales requesting hlm to
shoot on Easter Monday with his rifle at
Sandringham, which is some distance from
London. The secretary Of the prince es-
corted the doctor to the grounds. Soon
after the prince came out and welcomed
hum most heartily. The princes friends
came On the ground to the number of
about one hundred. The weather was not
as pleasant as could have been desired.
All was ready, the prince acting as scorer.
The trap Was sprung. Bang! bang! went
the truSty rifle. Doctor shot with the
precision of machinery as far as ninety,
when the prince desired him to cease, and
offered to bet with his friends that Carver
would break one hundred balls without a
miss. Some bets were booked The rifle
Was again poised in the air. Bang! bang!
and one hundred glass balls were broken
without a II ISIS. The prince and friends
were surprised at such an exhibition with
a rifle. After shooting about one hour.
several ladies-members of the royal house.
nOld-came on the ground to witness the
shooting. They were dressed quite plain,
generally in BLACK. They were as enthu-
siastic as the gentlemen over the exhibi-
ton. After the programme was finished
the doctor was shown all through the
grounds, then invited into the hall, where
an elegant dinner Was served. The prince
was DESTROYS of learning all about the In
dams, their manners, customs, hunting,
ETC., etc. After dinner the prince reques-
ted the doctor to shoot through the pro-
gramme again, which he did. One of the
princes sons pulled the trap portion of
the time; two little girls, daughters of the
prince, were on the back of Winnamucca
1.-THE horse) anxious to ride. Then COM
menced the greatest fun of the day, the
coin shooting. You would have laughed
to have seen the gentlemen, like lot of
boys, hunting for the souvenirs of shot
coins. AS the doctor was leaving the
prince made him valuable present. A
few days after the shooting we were more
surprised at further remembrance from
the prince at receiving an elegant badge
in the shape of horseshoe, three gold
feathers and crown. The shoe is set with
diamonds, the crown has ruby, emerald
and garnet, with the motto Of the prince
engraved Itch Dien,' accompanied with
note expressing the real satisfaction
which himself and friends experienced at
the shooting at SandriEgham.

FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 80. 1879

The Republican State convention of
Ohio, on Wednesday, nominated Hon.
Charles Foster for Governor. Mr.. Foster
will be recollected as the friend of Mr.
Hayes during the ELECTORAL commission
excitement who did good deal of talking
to members of congress and other promi-
nent men from the South about the COM
ing liberal administration if Mr.. Hayes
should be seated. He is a popular man
and it will take Thurman to beat him.
Foster was nominated by just nine votes
over Judge Taft, the representative of
Grants administration, so that the
ssboom'' for the honorable ex-President''
may be said to have received slight
check.

Secretary Sherman has very fully enter
ed the Presidential candidate field in the
following letter from Washington under
date Of May 10th:
should decide to make me candidate for President
would be to unite in corporation WIN ine fepuDn-
can party all the national elements OF the country
that contributed to aided in any way IN the sue
war would do this, not for the purpose OF irrita-
ting the South or expressing them IN any way, but
to assert and maintain the supremacy OF national
authority to the full extent of all the powers confer
red by the constitution This, as understand it, is
the Jacksonian as well as the republican view Of
general ideas would lead me to lean greatly upon
the war democrats and soldiers in the service who
have been influenced by political events since the
war to withhold support from the republican party
The true issue for 1880 is national supremacy in
tional matters, honest money and an honest dollar"
Mr.. Sherman should have added to this
codicil disavowing the soldiers-at-the-
polls-policy of the Republican party which
will influence many more to withhold
t heir support from it. AS Mr.. Sherman
we suppose, hardly expects the support of
his party in any Southern State in the ma
tional convention it is hardly worth
while to discuss his purpose of irritating
the South or depressing them, at this early
period. In the mean time the ''true issue
for 1882 is whether Americans shall be
a free people, something even higher than
the 'shonest dollar"

William Lloyd Garrison, whose name
has been known for forty years as an anti
slavery agitator, died at New York Sun
day night. The success of his cause did
not, however, end his labors, which have
since been directed against the former ow-
ners of the slaves he helped to free. His
hatred of the evil blinded him, and his in
tellect, which was undeniable, was para
lyzed by his prejudice.
