THE CONFEDERATE WAR JOURNAL"

Our attention has been called TO the
first number Of a monthly magazine pub
llshed al New York and Lexington, KY"
called the confederate War Journal.
Its title page states that it is edited by
General Marcus J. Wright, assisted by
Ben. La Bree We know very well who
General Marcus ]. Wright is. but we DO
NOT know who Mr.. Ben. La Bree Is. ana
we strongly suspect that the War Jour
nal" is edited by the latter assisted by
General Wright, If General Wright has
really any connection with 1t at all
The opening sentence of its salutatory
reads thus
"As fits title indicates. the Confederate
War Journal will be devoted to the col
lection and reproduction of facts and In
cidents of the Great Rebellion, as seen
from the Confederate side
We must say frankly. that we should
never have expected TO see General
Wrights name or that OF any other dis
tinguished Confederate soldier attached
voluntarily to an official statement that
our struggle was a Great Rebellion,
which causes our suspicion that General
Wright never saw the magazine.
Some people may think it unjustifiable
senstiveness on our part. but The Times
thinks it a very important matter that
charges or insinuauons that the Con-
federate struggle was a Rebellion
should never be allowed to pass unchal-
ienged. To call the struggle that We made
a Rebellion does not necessarily imply
reproach. The resistance Of the English
people TO the tyranny of Charles the
First was the most glorious contest for
the rights Of freemen ever made by any
people. Yet 1t was essentially a rebel
lion" and is spoken Of to-day by all
classes of Enelishmen and English writer's
as 1.-THE Great Rebellion" Notwithstand-
ing which all Englishmen glory in it.
But our Yankee friends always speak
Of our fight as a rebellion to cast re-
proach upon vs ard incorporate Us with
those who are traitors. To this we will
never give in our assent. We Will never
consent to have our children brought up
70 the idea that their fathers broke faith
and fought in 4 traitors cause. They
shal know, as FAR as The Times can
make them know. that there was no
treason or rebellion in the case. but that
the people Of the South exercised right.
IN going out Of the Union. that was as
plain and elementary as the right of any
one Of them TO the air that he breathes
and that they had "a cruel. vindictive.
malignant war forced on them and prose-
cuted against them until they were con-
Quered and destroyed, because. as men,
they refused to accept dictation from
master and preferred 10 fight and die
rather than submit TO being coerced into
abandoning their plain rights.
IL the Confederate War Journal" IS
going TO aid us heartily and earnestly in
intoxicating this lesson upon the rising
generation. We welcome il as an accession
TO the ranks Of those engaged in good
work. But If II is going to talk 10 our
people about tae Great Rebellion" we
want to see no more OF il and its reception
here Will not be one very gratifying TO it.

court We have not kept strictly upon
tho track of what has taken place. but
we learn that the ofense consists
IN the reporter publishing In the Virgin
ian his opinion that transferring licenses
for selling liquor. which licenses had been
revoked for violations OF the law, TO
friends OF the offending liquor sellers
was "a hocus-pocus arrangement not I'M
derstood by the average citizen. This
IS the case. as we understand IL, and our
remarks will be addressed to this case
alone.
Newsnaners may undoubtedly commit
contempt of court by publications con-
corning proceedings being heard IN court
and the court has the same right 10
punish newspapers that It has 10 punish
any other parties guilty Of contempt
The right 10 punish for contempt Is part
Of the authority that court has 20 en-
force the laws. II. while the court Is
engaged in investigating cause In order
10 apply the law TO II. parties should he
nermitted TO create disorder in that con-
npCftOn
terfered with that IT would be unable 10
do justice in the cause. Therefore, whilst
the cause Is under investigation. the court
has a right 10 suppress any conduct that
may have such tendency. II a news
paper were permitted 10 make any pub
llcations It pleased concerning a cause
on trial, II might do things that would
seriously interfere with the course of
the trial and cause detection OF the law
from its due course. The Judge, there
FORE has the right to prevent news
paper making any such publication, just
as he may prevent rowdy in the court
room committing acts there tending 10
produce disorder. The right in the court
to deal with a newspaper. then. for pub
lcations concerning a cause on trial can
not be denied. Whether a particular PUB
lication amounts or does not amount to
a contempt Of court must, Of course. be
determined according to the special facts
of the case under the principle herein
discussed.
II we are correctly informed concerning
the Norfolk case. the cause conc rning
which the Virenian made remarks was
ended and done. II had passed beyond
the control Of the court The remarks
were concerning past actions Of the court
in a cause that was disposed Of. II these
are the facts the Judge had no sort of
authority TO call the newspapers com
nents into question. They We're com
ments on ancient history; as completely
so as If they had been remarks on the
assassination Of julius Caesar. TO permit
the principle that would justify his CEN

pute a sacredness TO courts Of justice
which no person or power can have under

legis, that the law may not be detected
or perverted But when the cause is
ended and disposed Of, the court is under
our laws no more than any other public
agency invested with no prerogatives

canisrn. this is that Difference which the

AIEC7URE on LONDON.
DR.. Landrum Tells His Congregation what
HeHas Seen in the British Capital.

A large and attentive audience assem-
bled at the Second Baptist church last
evening to hear a lecture on London" by
Rev w. W Landrum. The lecture was
illustrated by about seventy-five stereOpu-
con views, and was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
DR.. Landrum began by expressing his
thanks to Mr.. Arthur Clarke, who. he
said, had kindly consented to furnish
the screen, pictures and magic lantern.
He then sketched in brief the history
Of London, giving some idea of its size
by saying that in the great metropolis
there was "A birth every two minutes
and a death every five minutes. There
were about 10000 known criminals I'm the
city, and the fronts Of the bar-rooms
would reach from Richmond to Newport
News. What a glorious time the topers
have" added the speaker
Views were exhibited Of ST. Pauls
cathedral. the masterpiece Of Sir Christie
pher Wren. with its magnificent interior
and majestic dome; the famous busting
thoroughfare, Cheapside the great column
marking the contiagration Of 1865 Of
which Dryden wrote so graphically; the
historic Tower Of London. interviewer
with the annals of the British metropolis;
the palace of the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury, the House of Parliament. West
Minister Abbey and various other views
Of interest. on which Or. Landrum spoke
in an instructive way interspersed with
witty references and entertaining bits OF
hUmoT.
Perhaps the largest collection of Lon
don views ever seen in Richmond were
cast upon the canvas. and the lecture was
one Of especial interest TO every one in
attendance.
