| was so glad TO see Mr.. McCarthy's
letter commenting on Thomas n. Pages
Little Stories" which they are in every
sense of the term. l shall never forget
my Indignation and disgust when | read
'Meh Lady" and "Newfound River"
If Mr.. Page ever knew a Virginia or
Southern lady who would accept the
favors shown her by n Federal officer,
and live. as she was said TO live, alone
with an old negro, teaching a negro
school. she must have been the excep-
ton TO prove the rule that none ever did.
Mr.. Page is evidently not aware that the
three Henry brothers," Robert. Patrick
and John, were educated gentlemen. or
Patrick could not have been a clergy
man Of the Church of England, and
served ST. Georges church as its rector
for two years; or John could not have
been tutor in the family OF Colonel
Semms. in Hanover. whose widow he
married. Lord Brougham and Robertson
the English historian, were first cousins
of our Patrick Henry on their mothers
side. But of course Mr.. Page IL too
young to know everything. although it is
generally assumed that authors do.
would say much more, but forbear.

A Noble Record.
Ashland. Va. April II. IS


Mr.. G. Mccarthy:
I have gone over the roll OF my old
company. which. while / had command
Of II. numbered eighty-ive. OF these
thirty-three were oyerseers or overseers
sons. OF these every one but six were
killed. wounded or died in service. Some
OF the six were discharged early as unit
for service. Not one OF them was
deserter.
There were twenty mechanics. or these
four only escaped death in battle or by
disease and wounds. Not one Of them
was a deserter.
i DO not know whether these would be
classed as poor white trash" out they
were men OF humble parentage. About
400 men were in the Confederate service
from my old county-Nottoway. While
some were not what they should have
been. / never heard Of a case OF actual
desertion among the 400
There were bummers. but my observa-
ton leads me TO say there were no more
among tho humble people in proportion
to numbers than there were among the
Quality people.
II the Confederate cause had not re-
ceived the hearty, and might say, dis
interested support of the men in the
humber walks of life. II would have been
crushed out at once. History has never
recorded sucn ulslntereSteu ueNotlon 10
n cause. for these humber men had no
negroes 10 fight for. and were just as
we'll of after the surrender as they were
before, and many OF them better off.
/ cannot believe Mr.. Page would have cast
such undeserved odium upon brave men
as he seemed TO do. II he knew the men
as you and did. ! could give instances
OF heroism displayed by these poor
trash" men. but l forbear, lest weary
you. Doubtless you have at your COM
mand many such, and do not need any
more Yours truly.

Mr.. PAGE will write history OF the

Editor Times:
In Mr.. Thomas N. Pages paper on THE
Negro Question" recently published in
the North American Review, and now
bound in a volume of essays called THE
Old South" may perhaps be found the
antidote for the 'incalculable harm done
the South" in the character sketches OF
his stories.
Such construction as that OF the
Times editorial OF Tuesday may well
make the author OF these stories feel

The order Of the U. p. company re.

hostllities.

By the terms Of this proposition the
Republicans secure undisputed posses
sion OF Representative Hall in the Cap
itol, the main point for which they have
been struggling. The Populists secure
the hollow privilege OF making laws un-
disturbed In some other place. The
failure OF the Populist plan to drive the
Republicans from Representative Hall
after they had barrIcaded themselves
there Wednesday morning WINS due to
the refusal to obey orders OF the very
force upon which the Populists had do
pended to carry the plan into execution
the State militia.
Consequently the Popullsts were COM
PEELED to sue for peace. The Governor
claims the Populists have carried their
point, which was the prevention OF the
arrest by the Republicans OF Chief
Clerk Rich, OF the Populist House,
which started all the trouble last
! Tuesday.
The events OF the last few days and
their result will have no effect on the
unfortunate legislative middle. There
will be no amalgamation OF the parties.
The Populists say the Populist House
will go right ahead making laws the
same as II there were no such things as
courts, no matter what the courts may
do. The Senate will recognize the
House and the Governor will sign the
bills passed by them. Should the bills
be declared to be invalid by reason OF
having been passed by an Illegal House,
then, say the Populists, the blame will
rest upon the courts. In case such a
thing comes to pass the State institu-
tious-the colleges, asylums, schools.
etc. would doubtless have 10 close.
Tonight the city is very quiet. The
Republican members have gone TO their
homes to spend their Sabbath. The
Popuists have all left town, and the
deputy sheriffs VINO have been on con-
tinuous duty ssnce yesterday morning
have gone home for much-needed rest.
