The Cincinnati Gazette says that
the Fort Donelson victory was one
which Grant had taken no measures
to gain, and which he did not expect.
1.-The victory came, in fact, through
his neglect, which was redeemed by
the gallantry of General G. f. Smith,
and the new volunteer troops, of
which the Second Iowa regiment had
the lead in the storming assault.
When Buckner proposed to surren-
der, Grant rose to the height of the
occasion. His brave answer obscured
his extraordinary absence, and made
him the hero of the capture of the
fort, and submerged General Smith,
who did it. The sarcastic humor Of
military honors is illustrated by the
promotion of Grant for Donelson. and
of Sherman for Shiloh. The blunder-
ing slaughter OF volunteer troups is
compensated abundantly 10y honors to
generals who had least to do with
winning victories"

DEFENSE OF THE SOUTH.
Senator Butler Carries the War
into New England.
special to the courier.Journal.l !

| Special TO the Courier-J Journal.l
WASHINGTON, April 28.-The most
notable event of the day in the senate
was the speech of Senator Butler, of
South Carolina. The first part of it
was devoted to carrying out the prom
ise he made the other day to Burn
side, to the effect that he would show
why he had been convinced that there
was a bargain between the republicans
and Malone. Nearly all the points
made by Butler have been brought out
repeatedly by other senators during
the deadlock, but his logical. argu-
mentative method of stating them was
very effective and telling.
The most interesting and novel
feature of his speech was his reply to
the wholesale, bitter attack on the
south made recently by Frye. The
latter had a good deal to say about the
low state of southern civilization and
morality. Senator Butler showed that
Frye, in placing himself on lofty
plain and preaching a sermon to south
ern people on civilization and moral
ity, had put himself in a vulnerable
position. He then proceeded to vary
the monotony OF the debate by calling
attention of some phases of the local
affairs of Maine. If northern repub.
lican senators insisted on discussing
the condition of society in the south,
why should not something be saio
concerning the unfortunate social and
political condition of certain north
ern communities
Senator Butler cited a long series of
afidavits made by citizens and voters
of Maine, relating in detail cases of in
timidating, social ostracism and bar
barity practiced during election con-
tests in recent years in that state. He
read an article from the Portland Ar
gus on the same subject; also an edi-
torial from the Lewistown Gazette,
paper published at Frye's home,
wherein was given a detailed state
ment of several horrible murders, in.
fanticides, brutal outrages, debauch-
cries, and loud lament on the part
of the Gazette because of the shock
ing immoralities becoming commt n
in that community. An article OF
like purport was cited from the Easton
Argus, calling attention to the alarm
ing increase OF murders and crimes in
Maine.
During the reading of these articles
Hale, Dawes and Hoar were very rest
i've. They didn't enjoy the manner in
which the tables had been turned |
Senator Butler protested that he was
in no sense making an attack on New
England communities, but he had |
simply read extracts from local papers
to show that, instead of preaching
sermons to the south, Mr.. Frye and
other New England senators should
not ferget that the southern commun-
tiles were not alone in needing re-
formation in the matter Of civilization
and morality.
1t was a rather entertaining specta-
Gle to see Eugene Hale brought to
his feet in defense of Maine republi.
cans against the charge contained in
the afidavits referred to by Senator
Butler. He made a long, labored
speech, which was listened to by but
few senators. He gave a republican
version of the details of the last two
elections in Maine. His voice was
weak, and he spoke with difficulty.

money is to come from to retain law
yers to test the constitutionality of the
1908 bill. Perhaps they could tell if
they would where the money came
from to lobby that so.called settlement

One thing is certain, if any lawyers
are retained in the case, the money
will not come from Wall street, or
from any bond holder.

1t is the opinion of some of our con
tempOraries that in the next canvass
in Tennessee the 1908 bill, a measure
by which the people Of the state are
sold into bondage for SO years, will be
the ruling political issue and that re-
publicans and democrats will alike be
lost sight of. We understand by this,
that the people in voting will look to
the best interests of the country, and
not to party ascendancy, and placing
ambitious men into Office.
