And now still another claim is put
in for the Last Cabinet Meeting" of
the Confederacy. III. g." in the At
lanta Journal, writing of Capt. Sam
uel e. White, bank president for Fort
Mill, S. c., who has erected a monu-
ment to the women of the Confed-
eracy," and who belonged to the first
company organized to fight for the
Confederacy," says 1t was at his "old
home the last full meeting OF the
Confederacy was held" The only way
this claim differs from the Burt
House" and the "Heard House" and
Col. Woods house is in calling full
cabinet meeting. Now. If I am not
mistaken, the officials records show
that the last full cabinet meeting
was held at Charlotte. N. c., and then
and there the fate of the Confederacy
was finally settled. From that point all
members of the cabinet were free to
choose their own way of escape. Post
master General John H. Reagan was
the only one who stuck to President
Davis to the bitter end" and was
captured with him at Irwinsville. Ga.
on May 10, 1865. And yet, so far as
his official duties were concerned, he
was the only cabinet officer who was
not needed. Secretary of War Brock
enridge was active and jealous, but
Reagan Is the one to whom the most
credit is due.

The Royal Publishing Company, of
440 West Main street, Louisville, KY,
sends me a little book entitled How
to Gain Admission to Annapolis, to
West Point or to the Schoolship st.
Mary's," that should be in the hands
of every young man or boy who wishes
to become a naval or army officer, or
even a sailor or soldier. 1t gives all
she desired information, and much
more, that newly appointed cadets to
Annapolis and West Point need, as
we'll as boys seeking to be apprentices
in the navy. l notice one error in the
book, where 1t claims to quote from
ex-assistant secretary of the navy,
Theodore Roosevelt, and makes him
say keeping clear of court-martials.'
l don't think Col. Roosevelt ever uses
the false term court martials" for
courts-martial. But lots of editors
have lately spoken of Knight Templars
at Louisville, instead of knights Tenn
plar. Sam Jones says Knights Tenn
plars, as one of my Oldest army reg
listers, printed before l was born, the
false term "adjutant generals" is used
in an act of Congress in place of adj
jutants general.

The Rev DIR. Walker Lewis of At
lanta and Hon. X. A. Mis-
bet of Fairburn, are strong
ly urging revision of the
Georgia Confederate pension roll, that
the present enormous and unjust PEN
sion burden may be lowered in the in
terest of overtaxed property owners.
Down in Alabama the State Board of
Pensions has just added S,71S new
names to the pension rolls and rejected
742. There were already 11,224 pension
ers on the rolls. these divided into four
classes. Seventy-five of the above have
died, but their widows are applying
for a pension, so that there is no de-
crease. Now the rejection of 742 appli-
cations shows that many apply who are
not entitled to pensions. The same
frauds, errors, etc, have crept into
state pensions that have made the ma
tional pension system sub
ject of severe censure. Com
missioner Lindsay of Georgia
is already preparing a bill for teh
Legislature that will not only lessen
Georgias burden, but cut off unworthy
pensioners. The state now pays more
in proportion for pensions than the ma
tional government. While it is true that
pensioners die. it is also true that new
ones come in to fill their places, and
soldiers widows are said to be ever on
the increase.

The Rev. r. H. Sassnett. in letter
TO the press from Sandersville, writing
of some Washington county notables,
says: "Col. Lee Warthen saw Presi-
dent Davis and his party as they were
fleeing through this county to escape
capture in May, 1865. He predicted
his arrest on account of the size and
snowy appearance of his retinue, a
prediction which was verified four days
later in Irwin county" While il is
true that Mr.. Davis might have es-
capped had he "cut loose" from all his
followers and abandoned his family to
the care of others, independent Of his
presence and oversight, l commend his
devotion to his loved ones even at his
own peril. Gen. Toombs and Gen.
breckenridge and other distinguished
officers "cut loose from all official and
family ties and escaped each man for
himself. / am satisfied that Mr.. Davis
might have done the same thing: but
to his honor, be il said, and with due
reverence--that he preferred capture TO
the abandonment of his beloved fam
lily. and for their protection a large
"retinue" was deemed necessary.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt must have
been lin his cups" or the reporter of
his Minneapolis address to the old SOL
diers must have distorted his remarks
on the Spanish American war when he
is made to say: II have been glad al
ways that my regiment in the cavalry
division at Santiago was under Joe
Wheeler and that ! had in 1t hundreds
of young fellows whose fathers had
fought in the armies OF the Confed-
eracy, just as I had in 1t thousands of
men whose fathers had sprung to arms
when Abraham Lincoln called them"
Now, to Justify my statement, think
of what brigade or division or corps
regiment Col. Roosevelt must have
commanded If 1t contained hundreds"
of sons of Confederate veterans and
thousands" of sons of Union veterans.
/ would be the last person to speak
lightly of those heroic Rough Riders"
either the real cowboys of the West or
the college-bred millionaire boys of
New York. They did grand service at
Santiago, enough for more than double
their real number, still their brave
commander is a good way off in his
estimate of the number.

In my letter Of Aug. IS spoke Of the
burial Of Capt. Randolph Ridgely of

Monterey, Cal. He is the same officer
l referred to some weeks ago in connec-
ton with Francis o. Wyse, both of
Maryland. as the only cadets at West
Point before the Civil War who sue
ceeded in graduating on their second
appointment. Gen. Charles King, in an
article on West Point, stated that many
cadets who failed on the first appoint
ment succeeded on the second, clearly
proved from the official Academy rec
ords that such was not the case. Ridge
iy was first appointed in 1880 and re-
appointed July /, 1882. Wyse was first

turned back" both graduated July /,
1887, Ridgely AZ and Wyse 40, in a class
of Georgia was 46, and Gen. r. H. Clin-
ton As, in the same class. Wyse re-
signed from the army in July, 1863, as
lieutenant colonel of the Fourth United
states Artillery, and became farmer
In Maryland, leaving behind a fine mil
itary record. But the heroic Ridgely,
after war service in Florida and Mex
leo, where he won high honors, was
thrown from his horse in the street at
Monterey Cal, and killed, aged only
80 years.
