The Richmond Dispatch In Its editorial
on the usurpation of the power Of taxation
by the Federal Congress refers to Gen.
erai Putnam, OF Revolutionary fame. as
the man who once demanded surrender
'in the name of God and the Continental
Congress" We have never heard this
demand attributed to General Putnam.
though It may have been made by him
in the words quoted. but We have always
heard 1t ascribed to Ethan Allen.-Staun-
ton Post.
Undoubtedly our staunton contemporary
IS right. 1t was a case Of heterophemy.

THE SOUTHERN SOCIETY. NEW YORK
Suggestions in Order as to How the Presl
dent SbOuld Re Decorated.

dent Should BE Decorated.
The Southern Society have not yet
made any move from their old quarters.
on Twenty-fifth street. says the New
York correspondent of the Baltimore Sun.
Before they do 1t is likely that there will
be several very enjoyable reunions at the
house, to which prominent men will be
asked to come as guests. No important
public dinner Is now held here to which
the president OF the Southern Society is
not included as one OF the guests OF
honor. This involves nice difficulty,
out of which some tasteful southern ar
list may help the society. There are now
eight local societies, whose presidents are
usually invited TO all big banquets.
They sit at the table Of honor. and make
a grand array OF magnifcence. displaying
the badges OF their respective organiZa-
tions-all except the man from the South,
who has none as yet. These badges are
large and elaborate gold designs, usually
suspended by a ribbon from the neck of
the wearer. The head OF st. George So
clety sports the royal arms, hanging from
a blue band: st. Patrick's son has his
medal on its national green; ST. DAVID
Welshman has white ribbon; the Dutch-
man OF the Highland Society sports the
deep orange of little Queen Wilhelmina;
the Son OF the Revolution has the CONT
mental buff, and red. white and blue; the
Frenchman his tricolor; the New England
Society has a gold badge as big as
saucer. but there Is no ribbon to II. The
exile from Dixie must, therefore, be
proyided forthwith with badge OF Office,
and the question Is: What shall 1t be?
The badge of membership I'm the society
is very handsome. 1t is a combination
OF the red cross from the Confederate
battle-nag, and the arms from the wind
mill on New York's escutcheon. sug-
gestions as to how the president OF the
society should be properly decorated Will
no doubt be gratefully received at head
uilarterS.
