tion to the authorities began almes1 i'm mediately at the outbreak of the war. and continued to the close Of his aetixe life. MT. Davis he regarded as a self constituted leader, possessing none of the qualities of leadership, infatuated with his own self-importanee and pre- conceived notions, blindly following He chImera of his own Authorizations, and reeklessly guiding the ship of state into the maelstrom Of certain defeat. The heads of departments he looked upon as puppets serving the will and obeying the behests of an autocratic superior. The legislative department he deemed an inefficient, effeminate organization, a mere plaything to be handled and dangled about as a show performance of doing something. He honored Lee, Jackson and Johnston. but for Bragg. Hood, and Pemb4rton he felt a contempt that bordered on hate. For the presi- dents selection of such men, and his re- movaa of Johnston. there were no words of censure adequate to express his dis gust and condemnation. To the soldier in the trench he was devoted, and, in turn. the soldier believed in him. In his battles with the authorities he had the sympathy of the rank and file of the Confectionery, and, supported by this sentiment, he was enabled to make his voice heard in the councils at Richmond He did not contend, with the pen alone, but was actively engaged at intervals In the field. While serving. on General A. P. Hills staff in the battles around Richmond. he received a wound which disabled him for further service.
 He yielded an aggressive and bitter pen. Men feared and admired him. He was absolutely fearless and indepen- dent. a Virginia of the Virginians. de- voted to the cause of his native south. Disease perhaps warped his mind. Some idea of his religious belief may be gained from the statement that his fa- vorite writers were Swift, Voltaire Theodore Parker and Emerson.
 He finished his career at the early age of 40, and died just three days before Richmond fell into the hands of General Grant.
 In some respects he was the greatest of southern Journalists, though it is doubtful whether he would have been in sympathy with the enterprise and meth ods of the newspaper men of today. But the same may be said of other famous journalists of the past.

A Reasonable View.

It is admitted by prominent repubri- can finaDciars Itlaat 1t would be better fop the south, and for bus,ness gener- ally, if tle southern banks could issue Q focal currency. After a while our Statesmen will recognize the fact that this is a very big country. It is incon- ven'ienIt 70 both sections for the south to depend upon New York for the money needed to move her caops.
 Tihere must be a change in our finsaa- oial system and the best improvement tfiat could be made would be the estalb- Elshmer,t of stiate banks of issue. Such banks, under proper regulations, would be blessing to the country and in this section they would accommodate the farmers and save them from the shyrocks, who now lend them money at a nuinous nate of interest.
 Emlfrent norlthern authorities on fran clal and economic subjects, such as Ed ward Atkinson, for instance, express the opinion tiIat state banks could be made as safe aus the national banks Then, why mot restore them?
