There were two Confederate Secre-
taries of the Treasury-C. G. Mem
minger, who still lives, and G. A.
Trenholm, who has passed away with
Chase and Fessenden. Davis had
only one Secretary of the Navy, S.
R. Mallory, and he and Gideon
Welles have both gone to their final
rest. There were three Confederate
Attorney Generals. OF these, Thorn
as Bragg is dead, as is Judge Bates
of the Lincoln Cabinet, and Thomas
H. Watts and George E. Davis are
still living.
There was only one Confederate
Postmaster General, John II. Rea-
gan, and he survives Montgomery
Blair and Governor Dennison of the
Lincoln Cabinet, and is one of the
| leading members of the present
House from Texas. He was in Con
gress before the war, was in the
provisional Confederate Congress.
and was Postmaster General from
the organization of the Davis ad
ministration until it held its last
Cabinet meeting at Charlotte, after
Appomattox. As soon as made eli
gible, he was returned to the Unior
Congress, where he has continued
until now, and is likely to remain
his life time if he shall desire it.
"There are five members of the
Confederate Congress now serving
in the Federal Congress. They are
Senators Vest of Missouri, Pugh o.

THE LINCOLN AND DAVIS CABI

The Philadelphia Times, speaking
of the living and dead members of
Lincoln and Davis cabinets, says
that the grim reaper has been more
sparing of the chief members Of the
Confederate government than of the
chief contemporary members of the
Union government. Jefferson Da-
Wis is still living, while Lincoln and
johnson are dead, but Alexander H.
Stephens has joined the great ma
jority. There were three Secreta-
ries of State under Davis-Judah P.
Benjamin, Robert Toombs and r.
NJ. I. Hunter, all of whom are liv-

There were four Confederate Secre-
taries of War. OF these, L. Pope

LET THE COURTS HAVE SWAY

liz a 4 II - w AhAO AA1s H - W II 4
The following from the Florida
Herald is so eloquent in It's state
ment Of an important principle, that
we take pleasure in its reproduction
and endorsement. To the court, the
jury, the counsel and the press be
longs the performance of a solemn
duty often painful; but the path Of
each is separate and distinct from
that of the others, and encroachment
by either on another's sphere would
bring discord, and mar the perfect
music of the voice of human justice
which to us is next that of God.
The sons of the morning sung in
sweet accord till Lucifer broke from
his orbit and drew with him a third
even of the angels of heaven:
''The Circuit Court meets to-day.
Let no voice of passion or prejudice
disturb the calmness and equity of
its deliberations. There are some
solemn issues of life and death that
will come before the men who sit in
the iury-box this term-questions
that will demand their profoundest
attention and coolest Judgment, and
whose consideration will impose up
on them a responsibility almost APP
palling. The one thing for jurymen
to do at this time is to keep their
eyes steadily fixed upon the eternal
principles of justice and equity as
illustrated in the law and emphasiz-
ed by the court, and let nothing di-
vert them from these guiding stars.
The voice that instils passion and
prejudice at this time INTO the minds
of jurymen is the voice of treason
and outlawry. The men who sit
upon these solemn issues need no
counsel outside of themselves, the
court and the God of Justice and
Mercy that should inspire their i'm,
partial verdicts. Least of all should
their minds, intent in serious things,
be vexed by the clamor of the preiu.
diced or byinterested persons. We be,
lieve in the purity and justice of oul
courts of law, and we are willing tc
rest upon its decisions.

We agree fully with the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger in this
healthy expression of opinion: ''The
paper that isn't pure enough to up
hold the true interests of society and
brave enough to defend the right, at
all times, in all places and against
all corners, isn't the paper for the
times. The paper that will not de-
nounce wrong-doing in public life,
that won't expose outrage by its own
party ofiicials-is a sham, fraud, a
curse. The times demand fearless,
free, outspoken press"

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
THE TIMES Will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its histOry-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended. and more
fiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganlZatlOn, and an able ssOf of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right to honest government, and the pub
nc Weltafe. ana, While maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia it
will aim 10 be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to newspaper
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care the
cOnclSencSS and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends iavishly for news
from all parts 81 the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape. and with
1t q large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and 10 make it journal adapted both to the

citizens Of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day OF those papers have gone by.
The telegraph ana better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient uSageS have lost
their hold on our Mountaineering people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness. but il
is gone: and, with it. they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers: II was the i'm
pTOyement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they

PROMINENT PEOPLE.

Robert G. Winthrop is to deliver the
grafton at the dedication of the Washing
ton monument.
1t would appear that Gen. Adam Ba-
1eau's grievance is that, in his capacity
as consul at Havana, he was not allowed
to run the government at Washington or
Madrid.
Flanagan was the ruling spirit of the
Texas Republican convention. Blaine
was the favorite candidate, but an unin-
structed delegation goes to Chicago who
will vote for any man who will give them
offices.
The present Lord Lytton, who is by no
means the biggest,of the Bulwers, seems
to be on the descending scale. He was
quite inconspicuous as Governor-General
of India, and now he is going in private
capacity to Italy for the express purpose
of writing play for Mary Anderson.
The Hon. Mr. Barksdale, in his plea for
the improvement of Big Black river, in
the House last Thursday, said: It's val
ley is the finest region on the face of
Gods earth, with, perhaps, the exception
of some other portion of Mississippi"
This is pretty careful hedging on "some
other portion" of Mississippi.

in love six times or more before he is
twenty; and every maiden ought to feel
little fluttering in her heart before she
reaches the same age. If were a young
maiden and young man should get
down on his knees and swear that his lips
had never touched those of another
maiden, I wouldn't have him; Ishouldn' t
want anything to do with him.
The Austin Statesman announces the
death of Colonel Frank johnson, who
commanded the Texans after the fall of
Milan, when they captured the Alamo,
in 1885. The grand old hero was eighty
| three years old. The announcement
comes in the form of letter to Mr.. Joe
H. Stewart, of Austin, from the proprie-
tor of the Hotel de la Plaza, at Aguas
Calientes, Mexico, whittier Colonel John
son had gone in pursuit Of health.
The late VIM. Maxwell, Milwaukee,
millionaire brewer, left $5OO,0O to be de-
voted to experiments in aerial navigation.
Prof. Charles F. Richie, of Bridgeport,
inventor and constructor of the flying
machine exhibited in 1878, had been
named as one of the executors for the
disbursement Of the first 100000 for the

machine. Ideas illustrated in Harper's

The EIoquence of the Empty Sleeve.

Cochran Letter in the Atlanta Constitution.
An incident that recalled the sad mem
cries of twenty years ago met my obser-
vation on Saturday last. Passing along
the street saw Captain Charles J. Will
hanson, of Macon, in conversation with
three other gentlemen; sitting in the
pleasant sunshine, all in lively talk about
the events of the war. I surveyed the
crowd and found every man had an
empty sleeve, the entire arm of each
being sacrificed to our lost cause. They
were Captain Williamson and Mr.. R. J.
Anderson, of Macon; Mr. r. j. Arlington
and John Martin, of Cochran-two with
their right arms and two with their left
arms gone.

Only "Cotton Raisers."

The following from the Pioneer Press
of St. Paul's, Mimi, is just as applicable
here in our latitude, if We substitute
"Cotton. .Raisers" for wheat Raisers -
ga farmer came into Mr.. Fink's store
to. day to settle for load of wheat, and
made a number of purchases, and among
them were several pounds of ordinary
butter aud three or four dozen packed
eggs. l enquired if this sort of thing
was common practice of the farmers in
the vicinity"
Farmers I" replied the merchant con.
tempuously, "why we haven't got twenty
real farmers in this county. They are all
nothing but wheat raisers, aud that Is a
long way from being farmer. A large
number of farmers in Dakota, who own
whole quarter sections of land, seldom
have q drop of milk in the house, and
the butter they eat is bought at the near
est store. They don't even keep pig,
or try to raise vegetables enough to pro-
vide for winter"
This is one of the evils of depending
too much upon the staple of country
and its effect is seen wherever there is
one great staple, like cotton or wheat
overshadowing all other things. This
staple culture interferes with real farm.
ing. 1t tends to dwarf or exclude all
those home comforts which have charm
to farm life, viz, abundance of food fol
man and beast, meats, poultry, eggs, milk
butter, vegetables, fruits and pleasant
surroundings. 1t is not the whole of life
to make money.
