he dined and where he remained until the
afternoon. when he was driven over the city
by Mr.. B. w. Wrenn. Before leaving his
car for the drive however, General How
ard was visited by great many old friends
and admirers. Among them were some of
the men who fought under General How
ard during the war, and who are still of
the opinion that he was one Of the grand
est soldiers the country has ever produced.
1t was during and after dinner hour that
he was at home to those who came and to
every one of whom he was most pleasant.
Yes said the general. discussing mat
ters generally. Il was down this way sew

warmer than it has been at any time since.

General Howard is one of the most pleas
ant and most entertaining gentlemen
imaginable. and is a warm and ardent adj
mirer of the south and the wonderful re-
Operative powers she has shown. he
puts it. He is Il native of Vermont, but
thinks after his own home, there is no coun-
try deserving more from the government
than the south. He IS an extremely pleas
ant and entertaining taller. and tells of
the war and his experiences in a manner
so modest that none would know that he
had been figure in the work he was re-
counting. a pleasant. easy, happy smile
marks his face all the time, and his voice,
though clear and distinct, is never loud.
His face is one remarkably strong and in
dicates great character. He a full
beard which is nearly gray, but in which
the black which once made him so dStin-
guished. is still apparent. The empty coat
sleeve is the only thing which would induce
any one to think that he had been in the
war so pleasant and sociable is he. That
sleeve was emptied at Five Oaks, Va, and
was done by some of LongStreet'S men when
General Howard, under Meade, was facing
that department of Lees army. IN speak
ing of General Longstrect, General Howard
says many kind things.
General Howard is a graduate of West
Point, and is now next to the commander
of the army, General SChofield. General
Schotield, though, has not seen as many
next officer to retire. At present General
Howard second and General Miles third.
The retirement of General Howard will
bring Genera! Miles up to second place and
goes out. General Miles. the Indian fighter,
will be in command. The vacancies then,
as now will be filled by promotion, and the Of
ficer who succeeds General Mica after he
is promoted to the position now occupied
by General Howard, will come from the
brigadiCrS.
General Howard goes from Atlanta to the
Florida posts and is now on his last official
visit south.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March THE Times,
of this city, is in receipt of a letter from
General Fl. V. Boynton, announcing the
postponement of the dedication of the
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National
Military park from September, 1891, to Sep
TENDER, 1898. The reasons given for the
postponement are that the tariff question
occupying the attention of congress would
prevent final action on the bill. appropriate
ing funds for the dedication in time for this
year and that the Grand Army of the Re-
public would probably meet in Atlanta Ga,
next year and could thus easily participate
in the dedication

generally satisfactory to the democrats of
the house.
Representative Montgomery, of Kentucky,
another of the democratic members of the
ways and means committee, said:
Outside of the duty on sugar, coal and
iron ore, L think it is a good bill, although
/ have only had time to give it a cursory
examination. However. these items which
I speak of better than L expected they
would be-"
What will the house do with the bill?"
'If they pass it through the senate the
conference committee will be able to re-
cOncle whatever differences may arise.
The restoration in part of the duty on coal
and iron ore does not make so much differ
ence. The sugar duty ought to add $45000,-

saved on the bounty"

ooh. ] don't care, so long as they pass it
quickly. Even if it were worse than it is
ana we had speedy action on it, | would be
better satisfied with it than a more COM
plete bill upon which action was delayed"
He thought that a good many concessions
would have to be made by both sides before
the bill was agreed to, and in the end it
would be generally satisfactory.

The Columbia Register seems to
doubt the appropriateness of a State
exchange. informing its readers ''that
Christmas will come on the 25th Of
December this year" When We re-
member that these are "record,b break
ing times," and that, unexpected and
startling events are always happen
ing, the announcement that there
will be no change in the accepted
birth day of the Savior this year,
comes with peculiar force and appro-
priateness. This much has been
accomplished by the announce
ment. The Juveniles through out
the State were fearful lest Gov.
Tillman should postpone the festivals
of this occasion, and by the assurance
that they would not be postponed
was joyous news to many a despond-
ing little heart.

Tribute Of Respect.

We, the members of Terrell ALI
ance, No. 997, Lorena, Lexington
county, S. c., adopt the following
tribute of respect:
In the early morning hours Of
October 25th, 1894, our beloved
Chaplain, Brothers. J. Ballentine,
in obedience to his Masters sum-
mons, lay down by the wayside, and,
with His sweet promises for a pillow;
fell softly asleep.
The loss our society sustained is
irreparable. His death causes a
void that can never be filed. His
unfaltering, untiring ard unceasing
efforts for the advancement OF the In
terest of the society, of which he
was the efficient Chaplain, were
recognized and esteemed GrieV-
ously do we, the members Of Terrell
Alliance, realize that we have lost
wise counsellor and liberal contribu-
tor, in whose noble life and practice
was so consistent. His whole life
was a sunny reflection Of his religion;
and that religion was to love God and
keep his commandments, the per,
feet measure of all Christian worth
and excellence. To the stricken
family, we extend our dearest sym:
pathy and compassion, and, as God
alone can heal such wounds, we com
mend them to Him for consolation II
their hour of afliction. We know
full we'll, no tongue can tell how
keenly they must feel the loss Of one
so near and dear, yet after all, it Is
Gods call and He will make it plair
for He is his own Interpreter, and tc
our listening ears there comes the
sweet assuring message, grleve not
for me, for all is well, yea all IS well

Heretofore Gen. Butler has had a
warm place in the hearts and effec-
tions of the people of this State.
They have honored him with one OF
highest Offices in their gift and re-
tanned him in that Office for a
number of years, and it shows a
spirit of ingratitude, to say the least
of it, by betraying the confidence OF
the people by attempting to defeat
his successful opponent by trying to
establish the fact that our election
law is unconstitutional.
In our humble opinion this last
move of Gen. Butler places him in
an awkward position before the
country if he is successful IN his
efforts before the courts, for it will
show that he has been receiving
money as salary as United States
Senator to which he was not entitled
and to place himself right he will
have to refund this money.
