The Truth Of History.

The truth OF history seems, at times,
syery hard TO determine. Recently,
Senator Tflman asserted, In the Sen
ate, that Mr.. Lincoln, at the Fortress
Monroe conference, offered any terms
the Confederates might, through their
uthorities ask, IL the Union were
restored and bostiities cease. Sena-
Tor Vest denied this. on information,
as he recollected from the commission
ers. Messrs. Stephens and Hunter,
Themselves This would appear to be
conclusive, but Henry Watterson, who
& thinks he has the truth of history on
his side, says:
-. .,ddr. Vest chatters like very old
man. Mr. Stepehns told dozen
living witnesses that Mr.. Lincoln did
say Let me write Union at the top
of this page, and you may write
beneath it. whatever you please. Mt:
Iincoln did intimate that payment
for the slaves was possible to an agfee,,
ment Of peace and reunion, afterward
committing himself to this by the
preparation of two documents which
stand in his own handwriting, which
nav be seen by anybody who cares to
sea them. The Confederate Commls-
sioners we're limited to treating only
On the basis Of the recognition OF the
iindependence Of the Confederacy,
and the conference came to an end
without accomplishing anything at
all. =
And there you are. AS the Com
uissioners could only treat on the
has;s Of Confederate independence,
any aoe offer Of Mr.. Lincoln's, if he made
any. as Mr.. Watterson suggests,
must mn have been purely sentimental
At the time Of the conference, the
Confederacy was near to physical col
lapse, and the Federal authontles
knew it. So under those circum,
stances, any offer from them short Of
unconditional surrender, must have
been mere vaporing. Still Mr. Vesl 81
and ME-. Watterson will probably go to
their graves each insisting on his view
OF the truth of history.-Augusta

The Theological Seminary.

The loud talk Of removing the Tneo-
logical Seminary from Columbia has
been revived. It is said that the
Southwestern University, OF Clarks-
vile. Tenn, will be united with the
one here and both will be given to the
town making the best offer. The
officers here would say little about the
matter, but it was certainly discussed
at the last meeting and will be laid
before the Synods Of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Alabama, who
control the institution. The Atlanta
Constitution says:
ga movement is on foot which may
result in merging the Southwestern
Presbyterian University, OF Clarks-
vile, Tenn, and Columbia Seminary,
Of Columbia, S. c., into great
Presbyterian university, to be located
in Atlanta. .,
seThe combined endowments OF the
Southwestern Presby yterian University
and the Columbia Seminary amount to
something over $500. 600. 1t is thought
that the schools can be induced to COM
bine and come to Atlanta if as much
as $3.50. GOO can be raised with which
to purchase suitable site and erect
and equip the necessary college build
ings.
sA committee from the Synod OF
Georgia, which has the matter lr
charge. will Immediately take the mat
ter up with the authorities OF the two
schools and will also confer with a
number Of Atlanta's prominent citI-
zens as TO the best method OF raising

A peculiarly sad burial took place
on last Thursday in neighborlng

Wednesday morning at her home near
Union Church, Just over the line IN IN

Bette, seeing her mothers accident,
ran out and very excitedly called for
assistance, then fell across her moth
er's prostrate form and in few

about three hours, when she too, died.

McBryde and myself, am zLne one
who was wronged' and not be.
When asked as to what trouble he
was referring, Senator Tillman said !:
g / DO not care to go into particulars
in regard to that matter but there are
many people In South Carolina, who
are familiar with all the facts, and
the particular incident to which /
allude. Perhaps the editor Of The
State considers the establishment OF
Clemson wrong to DR.. McBryde.
Tt is we'll known that they were both
bitterly opposed to it, and if Mr.. Con
zales is now the friend Of Celmson col
leee, it is because be dare not longer
oppose either it or Winthrop. We
built the college and have run it sue
cessfully in spite of bis opposition,
and without his advice or help, and
his attempt, to dictate in its affairs
now will not be permitted to succeed
if can help it. His editorial OF Tues.
day can only mislead the people and
incite the boys to continued efforts to
run off DR.. Hsirtzog, and every other
man they do not like. No real friends
of the college will want the trustees
to yield to such clamor unless there
is good and sufficient reason, and no
such reason has yet been shown. We
nav arrive at the conclusion that Dr..
Hartzog's usefulness is destroyed,
but it is indecent to PREJUDICE the case
and condemn him without a trial.
