southern Historical Society Papers.

The January number of the Southern
Historical Society Papers" is one of de-
cided interest, and gives promise that
there is to be no abatement in the great
importance and historic value Of this
publication. The reports of Generals
Beauregsrd, Finegsn aud A. H. Col.
quit, and Colonies George P. Harrison,
Jr., and Caraway Smith (none of which
have ever before been in PRINT give a
very interesting sketch of the brilliant
victory of Ocean Pond Tor Olustee),
Florida. General Pickett, General Hoke
and General Barton, in their hitherto
unpublished reports, give readable and
valuable details concerning the expedi-
ton against Newbern, n c. Gen.
James H. Lane continues his history of
his brigade of gallant North Carolinians,
and in this number gives letter on the
battle of Gettysburg from Gen. l. r.
Trimble (who commanded on the third
day the brigades of Lane and Scales.
in which he details the gallant conduct
of the men he led, and maintains that
Pickett's Division were not the only
"heroes of Gettysburg" The cores
pOndence of Governor Geo. w. Camp
bell, of Tennessee, in which original
letters from Andrew Jackson and James
Monroe are published, shows that this
new feature of the Papers, the
devoting Of some space to the
general history of the South may be
made deeply interesting and valuable.
Rev. DR.. j. B. Hawthorne's Courage
of the Confederate Soldier" is an
eloquent and very striking presentation
of the idea that the courage of the Con-
federate soldier was born of intelligent
conviction that he fought for the great
principles of justice and right. The
paper on "Stonewall Jackson in Lexing-
ton, by an old student of Washington
College, and ]. D. Davidson, Esq, of
Lexington, Va, is very interesting
chapter in the life of the great leader Of
the Foot Cavalry" and illustrates
striking features in his character. Edi-
torial Paragraphs and Literary Notices
complete this number.
The Southern Historical Society is do
ing grand work in collecting and pre-
serving material for the future histori
an" and in indicating the name and
fame of the people of the South. 1t has
already completed eight volumes of pa
pers, which should find place in every
library; and in entering upon their ninth
volume they should have the general
and practical support of every lover of
the truth of history in the shape of at

Who Did 1t?

The New York Star, Kelly's organ, is
still publishing labored articles to show
that somebody besides John Kelly was
responsible for the defeat of the Demo
cratic party at the last election. Still,
the fact remains that Hancock would
have been elected if there had not been
treachery in the city Of New York.
Certainly Mr. Barnum was not RESPONSE
BILE for that. If John Kelly had no hand
in it, then he is most unfortunate in
being saddled with the sins of another,
for it will be extremely difficult to make
the public believe that the man who de-
feated Governor Robinson and gave the
great State of New York into the hands
of the Republicans in the fall of 1879 did
not have something to do with the
treachery in the fall OF 1880, especially
as it is known that Republican
tickets were freely peddled from
many OF the Kelly booths. 1t
cannot be denied, however, that the
odium of the treachery by which Gener
al Hancock lost the vote of New York is
to be borne by those untrustworthy
Democrats who allowed themselves to
be bartered by their "bosses" like sheep
in the shambles There can be little
doubt that Kelly led his plant dupes in
the treason to Democratic principles, but
he is not alone to blame. Democracy
that is composed of no better stuff than
Tammany Hall produced last November
will not do to tie to.

As the fact grows upon the Grant fac.
ton that it is to take back seat in the
Garfield administration, its organs begin
to speak out their anger, and the know
ledge that TO the labors of their leaders
Mr.. Garfield owes his election in the
greater part does not moderate the fer
vor of their language. The Washing
ton Republican says:
"The Republican party seems TO be
divided into two factions, one Of which
thinks it ought to achieve victory, while
the other thinks it will best thrive on de-
feat. The former are called Stalwarts,
and the latter Reformers. Men COM
pose the first of these factions, sneaks
the other We warn the President-elect
against this pestilent tribe. Assuming,
though they do, all the political virtue
extsnt, he will find by and by, il he
does not know it now. that they are
the basest of hypocrites and the most
dishonest of men. The corrupt and rot
ten crew, which we have but feebly
described, have done much toward dis
migrating the party since Its grand tri-
umph in November. No art is left
Impractical TO ALLEVIATE from the incom-
ing administration the men who are
regarded as the especial friends of
General Grant. The daily gossip is full
of pretended information, which, il half
of it were true, would consign the new
President to infamy and the party to
the tomb"

In communication TO the Washing
ton Star. in reply to the statement Of
the New Orleans pilot published in the
Memphis AOaldncAs, representing the
jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi
river as failure. Captain Eads says:
The jetty channel has been maintain
ed for the last fifteen months. according
to the requirements Of the law without
any intermission whatever. 1t is an am.
pie one, and no vessel has grounded in
it, nor has one been delayed an hour for
want of abundant depth in it during this
period, even at low tide This much
cannot be said of New York harbor, as
none of the largest class of steamers,
when loaded, can leave or enter it during
low tide. The jetty channel is measured
every week or two by United States en-
gineer officers, and the last survey, made
only few days ago, shows that the
stipulated depth exists in it.
''The Memphis ACGEanchs predicted
the failure of the jetties when they were
begun, and it has so constantly misre-
presented facts connected with them
since, that scarcely any respectable paper
III LAS COuAtIJ Will uOH 4CPOab Ato StdhS-
ments. A pilot who prefaces his story
by slandering every newspaper south of
Cairo will not be likely to restrain his
abuse of the jetties, as an excuse for his
bad plotting, when he gets his ship out
of the channel The grounding of the
German steamer Braunschweig in this
way, although two miles above the jet
ties, and drawing but twenty-one feet,
was recently made the pretext for de-
claring that the bar was reforming at the
ends of them.
The absurdity of the ApdlaRches
statements may be inferred from the fact
that although the jetties have not been
completed two years, the shipment of
grain from New Orleans last year was
twenty eight fold greater than when they
were commenced. This year it will be
forty fold, the shipments being only linn
tied by the tonnage on the river.

A Washington special states that the

A Washington special states that the
Grant men are considerably alarmed as
to their position in the next administra.
ton, and some of them have suggested
that it would be eminently improper to
make Blaine Secretary of State because
Grant will not speak to him. This would
certainly be national calamity.
Nevertheless, if Mr.. Garfield does not
give Blaine a commanding position
in his Cabinet he will be
one of the most ungrateful of men. Blaine
not only was the prime mover in secur-
ing the defeat of Grant and the nomina-
ton of Garfield in the Chicago Conven-
ton, but it is now said that he has
promised to do all he can to secure Gar
field second term. Even the terrible
fact that Grant will refuse to speak to
Blaine should not be permitted to out
weigh all these considerations.

The Chicago Times thinks that the
Vice Presidents are themselves response
bic for the contempt into which the sec
ond office in the gift of the American
people has fallen. In the earlier days Of
the republic the Vice Presidency was a
stepping-stone to the White House; now
it is stigmatized and ridiculed as super
fiuous. "What we want" the Times
says, sis Vice President who will keep
open house, live in fine style, and treat
Congressman. If this were done, the
Vice Presidency would soon be regarded
as representative of the government
and have some chance Of political pre-,
fermen.."

A Philadelphia reporter has been look

sell coal to the poorer classes by the pail

New York. Repulsed by a vender, be
carefully measured ton Of coal and
found it to contain 1853 pailfuls. The
vender charges s cents per pail, and the
poor buyer thus pays $13 Al for ton
which can be bought in Philadelphia for
s.. But this is not an isolated case.
The poor, who buy coal, wood, and
many other articles in very small quanti-
ties, always pay two or three times more
than those who purchase large quaint
ties. Those who purchased their sup
ply of coal for the year, as early as last
May, got it for s. so or S. 90 ton.
Those who have purchased only a ton
at time have been required to pay at
the rate of 81 90 ton this winter; and
those who have purchased it by the pail
full have paid at the rate of about $14 a
ton

Republican ranks. as well as a fearful
panic in the Democratic camp. all of
which seems to indicate that the hour

Republican votes will be diverted from

The State of Nevada is bankrupt. Its
only wealth has been its mines and its
cattle. The mines have ceased to be
profitable and the cattle erazers have
moved their cattle to Colorado. The
result is heavy deficit in revenues each
year. As it is not in the power of Con-
gress to annul the existence of a State,
there is strong talk of annexing Nevada
to California, by the citizens of which
State nearly all the property in Nevada
is owned.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.-It seems
that the electric light is being rap
idly introduced in the Western cities.
Columbus, Ohio, has resorted to the new
method in lighting its streets, proceed
ing which gives satisfaction to everybody
but the gas companies. Cincinnati, In
dianapolIs and Louisville are preparing
to follow. The New York experiment
on one of the uptown sections of Broad
way is not less satisfactory, whether as
regards economy or eyesight, and the
people are beginning to clamor for its
general introduction in that city.

The Congressional investigation of al-
legged Democratic abuses of the Thanking
privilege during the campaign of 1880
has already shown that from the begin
ming to the end of the campaign there
was wholesale and systematic abuse Of
the privilege by the Republican Congress
sional Committee, and that the only
time when the Democrats were guilty
was an oversight.

Speaking Of Captain Eads' ship rail
road project, the Chicago Tri5Qne says:
''But he never has explained to the
satisfaction Of the public how he can
take loaded steamer out of the water
without straining it. No shipowner
would let his vessel so much as go into
dry-dock without discharging its cargo,
and unless the platform car arrange
ment has qualities hitherto unknown to
shipwrights It would not have patronage
to keep tie wheels creased. even if it
should be built"

Mr. Denman, from Angelina, q law-maker
at Austin, arose in the legislature, on The
return of that body from San Antonio, and
laid before it a list of grievances, which in
number and weight, are calculated 10 break
down greater man than Providence ever
intended Denman should be. A CORES.
pondent OF the Houston Post stated that Mr..
Denman, while on the legislative jaunt
hud looked on tho wine while it was Of the

son and went dewn under its innuene ;.
That this was fabrication, unjust, wrong
and criminal was vouched for by divers and
,undry persons, who accompanied Mr.. Dem
man ON their trip One legislator went SO
far as TO say that he had gone to bed with
MIR. Denman and knew the whole story
to be false In every particular
After the tstlmony of several legislators
had been taken, 1t was agreed that time
should be given 10 the Houston Post to
apologize and II that sheet didn't come to

that he used the expression TO court favor

saying that Mr. Denmsn was demsgovue
III we were right in this particular. we we're
justified in defining the class of demarogues
to which Mr.. Dsnmsn belonged. A large. fat.
orosd'shou'dered demagcgue is detestsble-
there is something to admire in a
Keen, active, wiry, rszor-bscked demseorue.
We. therefore, called MIR. Denman a srszor.
osoS' This We apologize for. if We are
wrong IN eur opinion that he did not brsg of
ms lack of education for the purpose of
'ouFling popularity. We don't believe Mr..
n, imam TO bean Ignorant man, whatever be
his s. 'sertions. His knowledge of the poets
as de,. 'onstrsted in bis speech in the
legislaim on the Pos. and the Times, shows
thu. He said: 'Of all the fools beneath
the skies, the educated fool | do dospise."
We have seen the lines, slightly changed,
written on the walls Of small private houses
attached to hotels, in many towns. Mr..
Denman may have picked up his knowledge
of the poets in such houses. But it is better
to have picked up an education somewhere
than never to have picked it up at
all. Mr.. Denman further says that
be had never noticed the remarks of the
Times, and would hurl back the cpithe's at
the sulhor as too vile to notice. An right
we catch them on paddle when they here
hurled. MIR. Denman has very tresc ar
Gus memory, though. Hs wrote us letter,
strict middling in penmanship and low or
binary in grammar. We didn't publish it.
We still have respect for Angelins. We
now hope the legislature will not, with il
boot, lift our correspondent out of his place
as reporter. We have done ali we could
in the wey of an apology to Mr.. Denman,
and hope it will be received and fled as sat-
