Of war. which Grant and stanton caused
by their non-exchange policy; he defends
the conduct OF Butler in New orleans;
he calls the horrors Of reconstruction
transient woes" which he says were
well deserved, and he pursues President
jefferson Davis relentlessly. AS speci-
men Of his poetry, as well as OF his
venom, suppose we make another quota
ton:
JEFF. Davis-mark himi foul secession's
head.
Ingloriously bafied, hiding fed;
But retribution followed as he sped,
And. captive. he to Fort Monroe was led
There Ger the carnage he had caused
20 brood.
But not with vengeance he was then
pursued.
His life the North magnanimously
spared.
Though he to seek his country's life had
dared.
Thus charity and mercy, near divine,
Were grandly. in forgiveness, seen 20
shine.
The evil spirit, conquered by the good,
No more could drench his native land
with blood"
The authors duency is so great that It
more than borders on volubility, and his
facility Of versihcation is as extensive as
the scarcity of his poetic affiatus and the
inaccuracy OF his history.
THE CASE OF THE SOUTH AGAINST
THE NORTH Or Historical Evidence

American Union in Their Long COntro-

third Congresses Of the United States.

The Hon. Mr.. Grady has here furnish
ed a good antidote 10 the baneful poeu-
cal twaddle OF Mr.. Kinahan CORVALLIS
in his war for the Union" Besides the
preface is prehxed 10 his work an auto
biography. He was born in North Caro-
lima in 1881. When a boy and youth ne
worked on a farm most Of his time. but
also attended school. BY his industrious
perseverance, however, he obtained COL
legiate course Of four years, and was
graduated at the University of North
Carolina in 1851. He was q teacher, SUI
perntendent OF schools, a professor OF
mathematics In a Texas college, a Con-
federate soldier, and a prisoner OF war.
After the war he resumed teaching until
1915, when he went to farming for the
sake of his health. He was appointed a
Justice Of the peace and Superintendent
of Public Instruction In his county OF
Duplin, and held that position for eight
years.
In 1890 and in 1892 he was elected 90 tho
Congress Of the United States. as repre-
sentative OF the Third District OF North
Carolina. He was not a nulliter. nor a
secesslonist. as his father was. but yet
was a firm believer in the sovereignty or
each State. so that, like General Robert
T.. Lee, he did not hesitate which side TO
espouse I'm the war between the states.
Now he brings all his experience and his
matured powers TO the vindication or the
Southern States. not only in regard 10 the
subject OF slavery, but in their long con-
troversy with the Northern States" HIS
examination of the historical evidence,
which tustihes them. has been thorough,
and he has marshalled II with system and
convincing force.
ANY one who desires the work can ap-
ply to the author or his publishers, IN
