.sourHERN HISTORY.

rebel Ghost Dance at Richmond was
| the report of the "United Confederate
Veterans Historical Committee" which
occupies nearly eight columns in the
Richmond papers.
1t is quite clear that the matter of
writing and teaching the history of the
War between the States" as they insist
it shall be called, has assumed great i'm
portance to the Southern mind, and ex-
traordinary efforts are being made to
prevent the truth and present to pos
terity picture of the Southern people
as having long endured with astonishing
patience the greatest wrongs and insults,
and then, appealing to the God of
Justice, they drew the sword, and for
four years fought with unprecedented
gallantry and fortitude against over
whelming numbers.
All this is set forth in the report in
ornate, famboyant rhetoric of the
Sunny Southland"
The practical portions of the report
urge the establishment in every college
and university in the South of a" Chair
of History" literally endowed, and the
professor of which shall be given ample
leisure, means and opportunity to col
lect all materials relating to the war,
and present them in the best form for
the instruction of the rising generation.
This means a number Of soft berths for
lot of unreconstructed rebels, who
will put in their time writing ford
eulogies of the men in their States who
instigated, aided and carried on the
rebellion.
1t is further urged that instruction in
the true history of the struggle " be
made a regular and considerable part of
the course of all public and private
schools.
The question of textbooks takes up
large part of the report. A list of
school histories, allwritten by Southern
men and women, and substantially all
the books written on the war by rebel
politicians, Generals, and others, from
jeff Davis's "Rise and Fall of the
Southern Confederacy J" to John Esten
Cookies cheap limitations Of Walter
SCOTS romancesL cordially in
dorsed; but, in spite of all pretenses of
fairness and imrariiality, not book
written by one who sided with the
Union is recommended or even men
toned. All the books Endorsed give
fagran:ly distorted view of the rebel
side, and are grossly unfair to the
Unionists.
One Of the funny things in the report
is the denunciation of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica" which is having q
considerable sale in the South. IF there
is any sympathy in the minds of the
writers in the Encyclopedia Britannica
it is with the rebels, but they aim to
tell the exact facts in cold, historical
way, just as they treat of events and
persons in any country. This is pre-
cisely what the rebels do not want.
They would quarrel with the multiple
cation table because it does not eulogize
rebel heroes.
The whole thing is very alarming 1t
shows a widely-organized, most deter
mined effort to pervert history, to shut
out knowledge from the youth of one
third of the country, and to poison their
minds with the most dangerous teach
ings as TO the glory of plotting rebellion
against the Government of the United |
States, and of fighting desperately to
make that rebellion a success.
1t cannot be too strongly condemned. |

THE court records show that in
Greeneville County, S. c., there have
been 80 murders in the past three years,
or nearly one a month, and the Charles
ton Ne,cs and Courier says that "Greene-
vile is not much worse than other
Counties in the State" Common, plain
people will be apt to think that the best
place for Senator Tillman to begin his
reforms " would be by making human
life little more secure in his own State.

G. Blaine was a rising power, and
sharply antagonized by the Grant
faction, led by Roscoe Conkling.
Rutherford b. Hayes was nominated as
compromise candidate, and the
Democrats nominated Samuel J. Tilden,
on a platform accepting the Constitu
tional Amendments, calling for resump-
ton Of specie payments, denouncing
the Administration, the Tariff and
Carpet Bag rule. The Greenbackers
held a convention at indianapolis, at
which they demanded the immediate and
unconditional repeal of the Specie Re
sumption Act, denounced the purchase
of silver for fractional currency, as
" taxation of the people to enrich
owners of silver Mines" demanded that
the Government issue all paper money,
and nominated Peter Cooper for Presi-
dent. The Prohibitionists nominated
Gen. Green Clay Snuth.

A MOST interesting letter relative to
Arizona politics appears in another
column. The writer is entirely reliable,
and the statements can be accepted as
completely true. They show an amaz-
ing condition of things in the Territory,
with the old, bitter, proscriptive, rule
or-ruin spirit of the Secessionists as
vigorous as ever. All that is wanted is
opportunity, and it will manifest itself.
IT is very unfortunate for Senator
Hill that no one will trust him polite
ally. The Gold men were confident
that he would try to sell them out in
some deal with the Free Silver men.
and the Free Silver men were equally
sure that he had some trap laid for
them to get them into the claws of the
Gold Bugs. Thus character counts for
a good deal even in politics.
