THE SURRENDER OF LEE.
General Sheridan's Account OF the Memo
rable Event.

In the meantime General Lee came
over to McLean's house in the village of
Appomattox Court House. am not
certain whether General Babcock, Of
General Grants staff who had arrived
in advance Of the General, had gone
over to see him or not. We had waited
some hours, and, l think, about II or
O'Clock General Grant arrived. General
Ord, myself and many officers were in
the main road leading through the town
at point where Lees army was visible.
General Grant rode up and greeted me
With, "Sheridan, how are you?" replied,
II am very well, thank you" He then
said, "Where is Lee?" replied, "There
is his army down in that valley; he is
over in that house (pointing out Nc.
Lean's) waiting TO surrender to you"
General Grant still without dismounting,
said. "Come, let us go oyer" lie then
made the same request to General Ord,
and we all went to McLean's house
Those who entered with General Grant
were, as nearly rs | can reCollect, Ord,
Rawlns, Seth Williams, Ingalls,, Bah
cock, Parker and myself the staff
officers, or those who accompanied, re.
naming outside on the porch steps and
in the yard. On entering the parior we
found General Lee standing in company
with Colonel Marshall, his aide de camp.
The first greeting was TO General Seth
Williams, who had been Lees Adjutant
when he WAS Superintendent of the
Military Academy. General Lee was
then presented to General Grant, and all
present were introduced General Lee
was dressed in q new gray uniform,
evidently put on for the occasion, and
wore a handsome sword. He had on his
face the expression Of rclicffrom heavy
burden. General Grants uniform was
soiled with mud and service, and he
wore no sword After few words had
been spoken by those who knew General
Lee, all the officers retired except; per.
haps, one s!aE officer OF General Granite
and the one who was with Gen. Lee.
We had not been absent from the room
longer than five minutes when General
Babcock came to the door and said, THE
surrender has taken place-you can come
in again. When we re.entered General
Grant was writing on little wooden,
elliptical. shaped table (purchased by me
from MIR. Mclean and presented to Mrs.
G.. A. Custer) the conditions Of the sur.
render. General Lee was sitting, bis
hand resting on the hilt OF his sword, to
the left of General Grant, with his back
to small handicapped table, on which
many books were piled. About
one hour was occupied in drawing up and
signing the terms, when General Lee
retired from the house with cordia
shake of the hand with General Grant
mounted his chunky, gray horse, ant
lifting his hat, passed through the gate
and rode over the crest Of the hill to hi

him, or bee ause of satisfaction with hi

IT is an unwritten law of the United
States senate, that no senator shall speak
during the first year of his term, no mat
ter what his prominence may have been.
Blaine, Conger and others, who were con-
spicuous in the lower house. were mute as
tombstones through their first year in the
senate. Mr.. Tabor, the new senator from
Colorado, who was elected in January for
a term which expires March 4, so highly es-
teeming the honor, chartered special
train for Washington, so that he might
not lose any time. He also. it appears,
did not intend his term should expire
without at least one speech from him. So
the day before yesterday he rose to address
the senate. Conversation was hushed.
The galleries grew solemn in their silence.
All eyes were turned upon the new sena-
tor, and all ears strained to catch his
words. Mr.. Tabor addressing the chair,
said: "Mr. President,I am paired with
the honorable senator from Hampton"
That, for maiden speech, was model of
brevity, but the senator made his first and
only speech in the senate!

The rigor of the present winter is uni
versal, and it is probably true that the
warm climates, where it is practical sum-
mer all the year round, have felt the hy-
perborean wave more seriously than the
sections where winter has its proper place
among the seasons. Those who have
sought winter resorts have suffered disap-
pointment, and suffered with the extreme
cold. January 25th for the first time since
1870 there was a storm of the genuine
blizzard character. snow, sleet, and bitter
cold, that made pleasure sojourners de-
cidedly uncomfortable, and in the absence
of facilities for producing warmth they
wished themselves back in the Northwest
where climatic discomforts are more of a
fancy than a reality. Change of scene /:
not always productive of happiness OF

The German empire, evidently needs
something of the rigor of the western con-
tinent. Figures are given to show that
there are two hundred thousand beggars
and vagabonds, including thieves and
pickpockets in the German empire, and
their beggary, theiving and swindling

The German laws are said to be so mild,
that vagabondage enjoys sort of premi-
UNI, and the German courts are even more
lenient than the statues. The evil has
grown to be so abominable that the gov
eminent is preparing to make short shift
with that element of the population. Those

to steal should be marked for severe treat

PROHTBITTON CoFFTNED.

The house made quick work yesterday of
the proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton of the state prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of alcoholic liquors. 1t was
debated pro and con for about four hours,
when vote was taken on the question of
indefinite postponement, which was car
ried, 40 to SO, and the proposition effect
ually cofined by defeating motion to re-
consider. So for this session of the Iegis-
ture this much mooted question is finally
disposed of.
1t must not be supposed that all-or in
deed any-of those who opposed this
enactment are in favor CT free whisky, or
are willing to palliate OF approve of in
temperance in any degree. That was not
the issue before the house. 1t was whether
the legislature thought such an
amendment was proper one
to be engrafted upon our
constitution, and whether, if adopted,
it would conduce to the greater sobriety of
the community.
First, as to the right of the legislature to
submit such an amendment, there is an
honest difference of opinion. Many hold
that the right of the people to eat and
drink whatever, whenever and wherever
they choose is inviolate, and that to inter
fere with this right is unconstitutional and
outside of the province of the legislature.
Many of our best constitutional LAWYERS
are decidedly of opinion that such an
amendment would be declared void by the
courts, and that therefore time spent in
discussing it is clearly thrown away.
AS to whether a prohibitory clause in the
constitution would tend towards greater
temperance there are grave doubts. The
experiment has been tried in Maine, Con
necticut, Massachusetts, Kansas and Iowa.
and the result has been to increase rather
than diminish drunkenness, and to take
from the communities the very LARGE
revenue they now derive from the license
of the liquor traffic. If liquor is to be
drank it is manifestly proper that the state
should derive some benefit from its sale.
1t is absurd to charge, as some indiscreet
prohlbitionists have charged, that those
who oppose prohibition oppose temper
ance, for such is not the fact. tThose mem
bers of the house who yesterday voted the
prohibition PROPOSE ton into its grave are,
we have no doubt, as sincere advocates of
temperance, and have as great horror of
intemperance as any of those who voted
on the other side. They thought. and
thought wisely, that prohibition will not
prohibit, and to keep useless, invalid or
pernicious clause out of the constitution.
they exercised their privilege of voting in
dependently and squarely against it.
The state isIto be congratulated on the
issue of yes terday's debate. The demands
of the prohib itionists were treated respect
fully, but bearing lin mind that there were
other important matters to come before
the egislature-matters that vitaIly con-
Germ every CT tizen-no time was wasted.
All was said in favor of the amendment
that could have been said in months de-
bate, aad the merits of the question hay
ing been presented vote was promptly
taken. The house acted temperately and
wisely, as 1t always does when Il follows
the advice OF the GLOBE.

THE great cities of the country are i'll
debt New York city owes one hundred
and thirty million dollars; Boston owes
eighty millions; Chicago owes twelve mil
lions; Cincinnati has railroad debt of
twenty millions, and owes ten millions
besides; Philadelphia owes about eleven
millions; st. Louis owes twenty-five mil
lions. The tax rate per capita, as stated
by the census, is as follows: New York,
$23.9S; Boston, Spills: Cincinnati, $2O.31;
Philadelphia, $12.O2; Chicago, 1922.
The tax levy in 1881 in
New York city, was S2S,937, 1872; in
Boston, $3.50, 237; in Cincinnati, $5,193
600; in Chicago, $4,166,6OS. These figures
show conclusively that the municipal debts
and taxes are the greatest burdens the
people have to carry. The East it appears
is more lavish and extravaganza than the
West, or, perhaps, it is better to say, more
luxurious and esthetic.

The Joint committee on railroads of the

railroad magnates and those interested in
railroad legislation we're present. Senator
Sabin presided and the meeting was called
to order shortly after 8 o'clock by the
chair, who announced that the first thing
in order would be the discussion of the
bill introduced i'll the house by Mr.. John

and management of railroads.
On motion the clerk was directed tC
