Memoirs of Jefferson Davis.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis wrote the
memoirs of Mr.. Davis after his death.
and the Bedford Publishing Com
pany, of New York, published the
book, and sold about 5000 copies just
before the failure of that company.
She lost by the failure large
amount due her for royalty on the
copies sold. Some of the creditors of
the company got possession of the
plates, cuts, and the stock on hand
unsold. She brought suit against
them and the company to recover
the book. That suit, which has been
pending about three years, has just
been compromised, and Mrs. Davis is
now the sole owner of the plates,
cuts, and about 1000 copies on hand.
She proposes selling the balance of
the edition on hand and then pub
fishing a new edition. As yet she
has not selected publisher.
ga Short History of the Confed.
eracy," which was Mrs. Davis last
work, was also published by the

before its failure, and Mrs Jefferson

ReY. DR.. Talmage Resigns.

The association of the Rev. T. De
Witt Talmage with the Brooklyn
Tabernacle has been formally
severed. His resignation is due, he
said, to the fact that he does not feel
that he should ask his old congrega-
ton to build a fourth church for
him. He advises them to either join
other churches or build for new
pastor.
AS to his future plans he says that
he will either take Il new pastorate
or enter evangelistic work, preach
ing the Gospel to all people, without
money and without price.

The Republicans in every part OF
the State of Virginia are crying
fraud and every Republican candid
ate for Congress who was defeated
will contest. They are relying upon
a Republican Congress to give them
the places to which they were not
elected, and they have the right to
expect that their claims will be re-
spected if the next Republican
Congress is like the last one
they had-one Democrat IN that
CONGRESS being ousted by them,
who had majority of $4,000 Demo-
cratic votes behind him. The claims
of the defeated Republican candl
dates in this State for the most part
are so ridiculous, that it does seem
that they are not worthy the consider
alton Of any respectable body OF men,
but with Boss Reed as leader OF
party no one can tell what the out
come will be. 1t is hardly possible,
however, that the claim of Mcdonald
in this district can be entertained Tor
moment, as he is not backed even
by the respectable Republicans OF
prominence in the district, and the
righteousness of his claim must APP
pear to everyone, as he entered notice
of contest before the election came
off even.

The Hero of the Fight.

Under this caption the Washington
Post, an Independent Republican
paper, pays the following splendid
tribute to Senator David B. Hill, OF
New York:
"There is one figure which, in the
lurid light of the Democratic
catastrophe, becomes heroic: 1t is
the figure of David B. Hill. No
demigod of myth or paladin OF
romance ever made sacrifice or kept
q tryst with more unselfish fidelity or
brilliant courage. That he led a
forlorn hope was no fault of his. That
the chance was desperate casts no
blame on him. He answered the call
of duty, The discharged the debt OF
honor and obligation, he led as
CALAMITY as any knight that ever
laid a lance in rest, and, though he
has been overthrown, the lustre OF
his shield is without a blot and the
brightness of his loyal falchion is I'M
stained. Man cannot do more than
keep faith according to his lights.
Richard Cmur de Lion, with a nun
dred thousand warriors behind HIM
on the plain Of Acre, was not greater
than Leonidas at Thermopyl;e or
Horatius at the bridge.
From friends and foes alike DAVID
Is. Hill will receive the applause that
he has so richly earned. Everywhere
and bv all classes of his fellow citi
zens he will be recognized and cele-
brated as the most gallant, the most
admirable. and the most interesting
actor in the drama that eliminated
on TUESDAY last. That he met de
feat will not dim-it will even lnten-
sifv-the briliancy of his achieve
ment. He has shown that he is faith
ful in calamity as we'll as in triumph;
that misfortune does not dull the
edge of his devotion, and that peril
does not check the splendid valor OF
his charge. He is the beau ideal OF
the soldier, whether in politics or
war-the man who never sulks or
shirks. He stands by his cause IN
foul weather as in fair, and If any
thing, adversely only spurs his cour'
age and lends new power to his arm
The American people will not soon
forget this episode of which Hili was
the gigantic central figure. He Will
live in mems admiration as long as
men honor loyalty, and reverence
what is great and brave.

Tho Rsnublic.ps of Delaware seem

The Republicans of Delaware seem
to have IAN elephant on theirhands
in the person Of one Addicks. de is
to be the next United States Senator
from that State, and for no better
reason, than that he has a barrel OF
money and used it very literally IN
the late election in debauching her
citizens. He is not native OF the
State and seems to have come there
to purchase a senatorship from a
people waiting like dumb cattle
driven to the SHAMELESS TO be sold.
He took them at their price and now
some of them are kicking and IN
their despair are crying out to the
Democrats to save them the disgrace
of being represented in the United
States Senate only by money bags
The Democrats will not help them
because six years of Addicks means,
it is said, long farewell to Republl-
can supremacy in the little State,
and they cannot afford to affiliate
with either branch Of the Republi-
can party, equally culpable in cor
rupting the voters by the lavish ex-
ponditure of money.

In our opinion the Walton cleo
ton law has come to stay. We were
inclined to be critical, at first, as to
its operation, perhaps, because it
was novelty, but it was demonstra-
ted to our satisfaction on Tuesday,
9Th inst, to be an excellent inven-
ton for conducting an orderly, quiet
and fair election. Many persons.
white and black threw their ballots
away on the 9th, because they did
not take time, to learn how to make
them out, and many, doubtless, did
so, because being smart "alecks >
they did not ask the constable S
assistance. AT our precinct, Acco
mac, G. H., every mans ticket was as
he wanted it and there has never
been fairer election held here-and
we believe that honesty and fairness
prevailed throughout the county
Mr.. Mcdonald in contesting the seat
of Hon. w. A. Jones in Congress will
find very little to comfort him in the
vote of Accomac.

District of Kentucky, compiled by
the Secretary Of State, gives Owens,
Democrat, plurality of 101 votes.
In district usually Democratic by
several thousand votes, this looks as

as if vice might still be alta premium

right have we, as a nation on the
high road to progressive who
build public schools and churches,
and exempt the lands of charita-
BILE societies, we who urge the ci-
tizens to be sober, clearly, honest
to expose our people to the per-
nicious contact of these squalid
hordes? What have we a right
to expect?
Lord Salisbury in speech and
resolution recently in the House
of Lords has shown the danger
that is coming to England from
unclassifed immigration. Anar-
chism and communism are exotics
both to England and America.
These have their root and germ
| in other countries.
The labor troubles which SO fire.
quently confront us and are so
damaging both to the employer
and to the employed, are the pro-
duct, for the most part, of foreign
thought and discontinued spirit
which had a planting and growth
in other countries. To prevent
future trouble arising from these,
the gates should be closed.
Warnings are in the air. The
great railroad strike, nearly block.
aiding the commerce of seventy
millions of people; the miners
strike, in which millions of pro.
perty was sacrificed; the Coxey
, movement, which spread from
, ocean TO ocean, are warnings of SC
r plain a nature that they SHOULD
, not be passed by UNDECIDED.
It is time that something prac
r tical was done. The dangerous

CLOSE THE GATES.

It is about time that the restric-
ton of immigration take practical
form, and that the gates Of the
country be closed to the ignorant,
lawless and impractical people
that swarm to this country. True
our country is wide of area and
capable of sustaining a much larg-
er population than at present.
Possessing as it does great de-
versity of soil and climate, the Sc
mi artic regions of the great wheat
fields of the North and the semi
tropical regions of the cotton and
sugar plantations of the South,
there is no harvest that cannot be
gathered necessary for the susie
nance of mankind Again, it is
true that the great feeding re-
sources of our country are not ex-
hausted, in fact only experiments
have been made. Yet the time
has arrived when the gates should
be closed against the indiscrimi-
nate swarms of people that come
to this country.
The theory that this country il
al asylum for the distressed of al
nations is played out. What nigh
prove a glorous sentiment ont
hundred years ago, when the ma
ton was but a fringe of colonies
ON the Atlantic seaboard, is an alb
surdity now. Our labor market j
glutted, our poor need all tn
help of the considerate, and GU
public institutions are filled t

THE Chicago Inter Ocean. common

The Chicago Inter Ocean. comment.
ing upon the speech of Senator Allison
at Ottumwa the other day, says that
1.-THE audience was made up mainly of
farmers. They could not fail to see
that free wool, and nearly free barley,
were blows at their interest,"" The
Iowa farmers know that free wool has
advanced the price of domestic wool
from l to 3 cents pound, and are
doubtless in mood to receive further
blows in that direction. One turns to
the market reports of the Chicago Inter
Ocean of the same date in vain to see
the price of barley in order to ascertain
what the effect of NEARLY free barley"
is Oh prices. Its market reports con-
tain no mention of barley whatever.
This is probably due to harmony OF
action between the market reporter and
the editorial writer, as we find in the
market reports of the Chicago Record
that barley at that date is quoted at "a
to So cents. AS the Iowa farmers con-
template the prices they received for
barley last year and those they are
getting this year. they will not be ap-
prehensive of further Democratic blows
at their interests.
