CHASE CITY. VA, April 2s.

CHASE CITY. VA, April rs. 1895.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In your issue of the 9th instant there
occurred in the editorial columns this
sentence:
There Is, too. in the presidential chair
an occupant who believes that the States
are as distinct as the pillows, but one
as the sea- -,
The words in quotation marks recall
TO my mind a discussion many years ago
as 10 the author Of the sentiment During
the war jefferson Davis, while President
OF the Confederacy, frequently used 1t
in his writing and speeches;
AS we'll as l remember. about 1853. at a
Fourth-of-July dinner in the city OF Rich
mond, the Hon. Raleigh 4. Daniel closed
one OF his speeches with this toast: The
States OF the Union-Distinet as the BILL
lows, yet one as the sea-. The toast
went the rounds OF the newspapers all
over the country as original with Mr..
Daniel. When the sentiment had pc
come famous a very gifted Methodlst
preacher. then located in Alexandra. va,
wrote letter to the Richmond Enquirer.
claiming that he had delivered Fourth
of-July Grafton twelve months before; ana
that It had been published. in which as
original were the Identical words OF Mr.
Daniels toast. The published speech was
produced, and there were the words. Mr.:
Daniel denied that he had ever heard or
the preachers speech, or had ever seen
II, but there were the ldcl5. w ME uie
matter was being ventilated In the VIZ
gina papers Co.onel s. Bassett French
entered the contest for authorship. ana
produced Fourth-of-July Grafton written
by him two years before with the words
as original with him. Neither Daniel or
the Methodist preacher Cwhose name. l
believe. was HemmetU had ever seen or
heard OF French's grafton. But while
the controversy increased as 10 author
ship and originality, and the matter was
stil fresh before the public. Miss Julia
Johns, a daughter OF the Bishop OF that
name. made the confusion worse con-
founded, for just about that time she hap
psnsd 10 be reading a volume OF Mont
gomery's poems, and In his "Ode to the
Ocean" there she found the IDENTICAL
words-"Distinct as the pillows, yet one
as the sea-" The poem was published as.
perhaps. a key to the mystery OF author
snip. Mr.. Daniel at once explained his
part in the matter. His deduction was
that Montgomery's ode was one Of his
fayorite pieces of verse; that he knew
IL thoroughly and could at any moment
repeat the most OF II. But he claimed
that when he offered the toast he was I'M
conscious that he had ever heard or seen
the words In Montgomery's ode. How the
two other gentlemen escaped as to the
words and sentiment being original with
them do not remember.
There seems 10 be nothing new under
the sum-" and II Is entirely possible TO
perpetrate an unconscious plagtartsm and
adopt the IDEAS Of others without being

The Case of Prof. scheie DcVere.
lchnrlottesyille ChrOnIcIe)


Some Of the papers of the State ana
many protesting friends OF the univer-
sity are INDUCING in much harsh criti-
cIsm OF the Board OF Visitors on account
of the recent retirement OF Professor
NJ Schele DeVere. We had hoped that
the press would not take up this matter
The Board OF Visitors, composed OF nine
honored and respected gentlemen, acted
nnanimously. after carefully considering
the whole subject. They were prompted
by no motive other than the good OF the
university, and the performance OF their
duty, However much DIR. Schele's re-
tirement may be regretted. we think
that the least said now the better for
the university and the better for Dr.
schele. With all OF the facts before
them. the Board OF Visitors acted with
one accord. and doubtless had good rea-
sons for not making public In detail the
cause OF Professor Schele's resignation
papers and people would do well not to
speak too freely concerning subjects on
which they are not fully informed.
