HONORING JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The Legislature OF Georgia Makes His
Birthday Lega! Holiday
columbus (GaD Enquirer-Sun.)

COLUMBUS NtfdJ i4ll'luilcl-touu-J
The Georgia Legislature does credit to
the State when II hOnors the President
of the Confederacy. The bill lnro-
duced to make the birthday OF Jefferson
Davis a legal holiday was adversely re-
ported by the committee TO which Ii was
referred, but the House disagreed to
that report with hardly a dissenting
voice. Why should not Jefferson
Davis be thus honored He was
hero long before the birth of the Con
iederacy. As far back as the Mexl-
can war he wore the trophies of con
queror, for it was his military genius
that sent flying wedge into the very
heart of Santa Annals army at the
great battle of Buena Vista and won
the plaudits not only of his superior
officers and his soldiers, but Of the
entire American public. And 1t was
not alone in camps that the greatness
of Jefferson Davis was nantes. In
the halls of the American Congress his
influence was felt and he took his place
in the front rank of the statesmen OF
his day. His later record, his con-
nection with the Coniederacy, was
alone enough 10 lead Georgia 10
honor his memory as proposed by the
bill now pending iii the Legislature.
Georgia will not refuse this tribute to
the life and Character of Jefferson
Davis
