BOOK NOTICES.

One of the most valuable works that we
have seen for many years is that entitled
"Noted Men on the SOUTH published by
r. II. Woodward & Co., of Baltimore, and
sold in Staunton by G. w. Warden & Co.
1t is acomplete, calm and analytical history
of Reconstruction in the Southern States
by prominent men in those States. In Viz
ginia the history is written by Maj. Robert
Stiles Of Richmond, than whom no better
man could have been selected in Alabama
by Hilary A. Herbert, NJ. c.; in North
Carolina by Zebulon B. Vance, S. Sen
ator; South Carolina by John J. Hempbill,
M. c.; Georgia by H. G.. Turner, M. G.
Florida by Samuel Pasco, U. S. Senator;
Tennessee by Ira z. Jones; West Virginia
by VIM. l.. Wilson, M. c., and o. S. Long;
Missouri by Geo. G.. Vest, U. S. Senator;
Arkansas by VIM. M. Fishback; Missis-
sippl by Ethelbert Barksdale, Ex-M. c. /;
Texas by Charles Stewart, M. e., and
Louisiana by B. j. Sage. 1t is reliable
history and the only one we have seen in
which the broad field of Reconstruction is
gone over without excitement, and without
exaggeration by authors living in the
Confederate States during the civil war.
THE Memorial Volume of Jefferson
Davis" by Rev. J. William Jones, ID. d.,
published by B. f. johnson u Co., of Rich
mond, has proved as great a success as it
deserved. Though the first copy was sent to
the public only about three months ago,
the publishing firm has already sent a
check to Mrs. Davis (under an. agreement
made by the author) for $2,3l922 and a
like sum to the author. Both the widow
of the Southern leader, and the author are
likely to derive a handsome sum from the
book.

In every Congressional district, and espec
tally in the 10th-the richest portion of the
State in minerals-We ought to bring out and
support and elect a protective tariff man,
whether he be a Democrat or Republican. 1t
can be done, and done easily, if representa-
tive man ON this question announces himself
and goes before the people. Mr.. Tucker does
not represent the interests and the people OF
this district in his tariff views. and for that
reason ought to be opposed and defeated. And
this should be the policy throughout the State
where there is free trade Democrat running
for Congress- Valley Vugipian.
Notwithstanding the Republicans of six
out Of the ten Virginia districts do not
agree with our esteemed contemporary about
the policy of putting into the field candi-
dates to advocate the new and oppressive
tariff taxation adopted by Congress, we
heartily endorse his suggestion that it
should be done. We want the question put
fairly before the people of Virginia by
the Republican party without any
complications-high Federal taxes or
low Federal taxes-and this off year is a
good time to do it. AS for the sentiment
III Vic lUUu lilStlICt, I'D NobC III 1000 udo
left little room fol- doubt. Mr.. Tucker ran
on the Mills bill, Mr.. Yost ran on the then
existing tariff, but also advocated the Nc
Kinley idea about a new tariff and ably ex
pounded it-far more ably than any Re
publican in public life then in this district
could have done. His views were rejected
by a decisive majority of nearly 800, after Il
more thorough canvass and fuller and more
exhaustive joint discussion of Federal tax
alton than had been heard here for a quarter
of century. What MI. Tucker majority
would be this year, with a Republican can
didate in the field, now that the farmers
have thoroughly walked up to the beauties Of
their share of the Federal tax burden, and
now that many new towns in the district
are preparing to go into the production Of
manufactures which will want the mark
cts of the world to be sold iD, it is hard to
estimate. Let the Republicans hold a con-
vention and put a representative man in
the field, who, like Y ost, is qualified to in
diligently present the attractions Of the
high Federal taxation contained in the
new Tax bill, and let us have a thorough
canvass. MI. Tucker will be glad to change
his appoin tments to suit the new candi-
date.
