Others, two OF them saloon keepers.
OF course an indictmentcan be found,
and often is, where there is no chance
for a conviction, and we feel rather
inclined to the opinion that in these
cases it will be hard to convict. The
witnesses upon whose evidence these
indictments were found may not tell
the same story when brought in open
court and have to undergo a search
ing cross-examination, and it may
be shown to the satisfaction OF the
public that the indictments should
not have been found.

wHo~wAs RESPONSIBLE?
About the time OF she retirement

About the time OF the retirement OF
Miles and his severe snub-
ss.bing by the president, much was said
sabout General Miles cruel treatment
a'oi President Davis while in prison at
Monroe. Most OF those
Whose writings we saw charged Gen.
eral Miles with the whole RESPONSE
I bIlity of placing Mr.. Davis in irons
and shutting him upin his cell. Some
few took the ground that General
Miles was a subordinate officer, act
ing under orders from Mr.. stanton,
secretary of war, and what he did
was BY direction of Mr. Stanton, either
expressed or implied. We are rather
inclined to think that the latter is
the correct view, yet we have no
doubt that the general approved the
orders and carried them out with
relish, and may have gone further
and heaped indignities upon Mr.. Da-
Wis that the secretary did not sug-
gest. We refer TO this matter again
because we find a communication In
the Baltimore Sun, by s. W. H., In
which he undertakes to prove by the
writings OF Mr.. Davis that General
Miles was alone responsible. He
quotes from an article from Mr. Da-
entitled "Andersonville and Other
War Prisons" In that article Mr..
Davis says OF prison life: at is not
only requisite that enough OF some
kind OF food should be furnished; 1T
Is needful that the power to use and
assimilate it should exist. OF this |
have personal experience. During the
first year OF my imprisonment at
Fortress Monroe l was reduced to
little more than a skeleton under she
needless privations inflicted by that
heartless vulgarian, Brevet-General
Nelson A. Miles. He was, at the time
OF my Imprisonment, selected to su-
persede Colonel Joseph Roberts, an
educated soldier, whose regiment had
been the garrison OF Fortress Monroe
In the latter part OF the war. Why
was this officer deemed competent to
command the post in war and not IN
peace2 My acquaintance with both
would suggest the answer-a gentle
man was not suited to the cruel pur-
poses OF f. NJ. Stanton, then secre-
tary OF war"
So it will be seen that while Mr..
Davis says that General Miles was a
heartless vulgarian and not an edu-
Gated soldier, he was selected to carry
out the cruel purposes OF L. NJ. STAN
ton. And we believe that MIR. STAN
ton Is alone responsible for the plac-
ing of irons upon Mr.. Davis, and it
was done to break his spirit and
humiliate the South.

Germany is largely increasing cot
ton culture in her South African pos.
sessions. Much OF the territory last
year was under the care of colored
men from the Tuskegee Industrial
School, and there was large in
crease of the product. For the next
season the territory will be under the
direction and supervision Of Mr..
Becker, of Texas, and the crop will
be almost double that OF last year.
This move may transfer much OF the
cotton product to countries south,

clare they will remain in their homes.

pany announces that all miners who
Join the union must consider them

FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HIGHWAYS

FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HIGHWAYS
The bill reintroduced in the House
10y Representative Brownlow, of Ten
uessee, to appropriate $24, 100000
for the improvement of highways in
the U. s., ought to have the hearty
endorsement of the people every
where, and should be passed. The
people directly or indirectly pay all
the taxes which go to swell the reve-
nues of the public treasury, and tue
passage ofno act should appeal more
strongly to thepublic than one which
seeks TO appropriate a portion otthe
immense surplus which the govern
ment has Units treasury where it will
benefit all the people alike.
The deepening of river channels, ir-
rigation of lands. building levees
along the Mississippi, erecting pala-
tial public buildings, are all well
enough, and while these expenditures
rebound to the general welfare, they
benefit more particularly the imme-
date vicinity in which the eXpendl-
ture is made; but a general law look
! ing to the Improvement of the most
important highways OF the whole
country, would come nearer an ideal
appropriation OF the surplus funds
| in the treasury than any measure We
have yet heard advocated.
One clause OF the bill declares that
no State or subdivision can secure
any part of thisfund without raising
an amount equal TO the share re-
ceived. and this feature OF the bill Is
as commendable as the bill itself.
The government should not help
those who do not help themselves,
and we believe that this bill would
be very much more readily enacted
/ into law, il there was a we'll defined
and set purpose on the part OF every
State and county in the union look
ing to road improvements. Virginia
/ is behind nearly all of the other
States in the matter ofroad improve
ment, and poor roads and povety OF
the citizens go hand in hand.
The question, therefore, is not
whether we can afford to be taxed to
build good roads, but whether We can
afford the expense OF travelling over
poor roads. We commend this idea
to the Legislature of Virginia and to
the people OF this community. Let
US show some disposition, as a state
and as individuals, to help ourselves,
and let us endorse the BrOwnlOw bill
and secure the assistance OF the ma
tional government in this all i'm
pOrJant matter.
