Is there the slightest resemblance

The Pilgrim, published in Michi-
gan, does not only charge General
Miles as being alone responsible for
placing irons upon President Davis
while In prison, but states that for
many years afterwards he exhibited
the schackles as though they had
been a trophy of honorable victory. a"
Many have been inclined to believe
that Mr.. Stanton was responsible
for that disgraceiul act, either d.
rectly or indirectly, and that Gen.
Miles was merely his agent to exc
cute the will OF the Secretary OF War,
and that seems to have been the
opinion of Mr.. Davis expressed in an
article written by him and published
some time before his death. In
speaking of the rudeness OF General
Miles towards him and his lack OF
military polish and education, Mr..
Davis stated that he was Just such a
man as Mr.. Stanton would select to
carry out his harsh orders, and it
was for this, probably more than for
any direct order verbal or written,
that Mr.. Stanton was charged with
being the author of the outrage. But
this exhibition of the shackles by
General Miles for years afterwards
shows that he was in full sympathy
with Mr.. Stanton, whether the order
was given or implied in his dispatch
TO "do as you think BEST" and that
he looked upon himself as the hero
Of this browning act OF shame, and
so, like the shirt OF the famous indi-
vidual OF old, it must stick to him.
