A Eulogy And An Indictment
Of Powell Clayton

The Gazette preferred to let the
court records answer in part at least
the remarkable speech delivered by
United States District Attorney w. G.
Whipple before the Lincoln club last
Tuesday night in which he eulogized
Powell Clayton as governor of Arkan-
sas and sought to palliatt. the awful
Gays Of reconstruction, says the Lit
tie Rock Gazette.
In this strange and unacountable
speech. which was SO strange and IN
accountable that some persons have
even advanced the idea that Col.
Nhipple was speaking in humorous
vein, he declared that the administra-
tons OF Gov. Clayton and Gov. Hadlev
were productive of more good 10 Ar
kansas than any subsequent admins
trtons, and that it Was pity that
the same men had not been permitted
t. remain in charge of the states
affairs to this day. He said the story
Ct reconstruction was brilliant and
grand story. In other states the fed
eral government was appealed to-" he
said, but in Arkansas that heroic
governor, Powell Clayton. took the
matter in his own hands, Col.
Whipple also declared that not SIN
gle act of corruption had ever been
IIoved against the men in control in
the reconstruction period
The records in the United States
court show that in ISL when w. G.
Whipple was federal district attorney
and that heroic governor, Powell Clay
ton, was heroically governing with
the gentle aid of his murderous mil
itia that heroic dis attorney, ".
G. Whipple, had that heroic governor
Powell Clayton. indicted for an cleo
tion fraud. The Indictment alleges
that the heroic governor, Powell
clayton, did wiIIfully. unlaWfully and
traudulen,ly make and grant under
seal Of the state and deliver to
John Edwards a certificate stating
that it appeared from the returns thaz
Edwards had been elected congress
man from the Third district Of Arkan-
eas. whereas. according 70 the iadiet-
meat. ho said certificate was false

majority of one hundred votes. all oil
which Clayton we'll knew.
Two striking and significant facts
remain to be told. One is that al
though Col. Whipple was removed
from the Office of district attorney, he
continued in the prosecution of the
heroic governor. Powell Clayton, on
this indictment for fraud. The o5hel
| is that the heroic governor Powell
Clayton, heroically demurred to the
irdictment instead of pleading not
Gpilty Gov. Clayton made the tech
meal plea that the Indictment did no,
aIlege that Gov. Clayton was an elec
tlon officer: that within the meaning
, Of the federal statute under which
the indictment was returned ths
. defendant. being governor of the
state, was not an officer of the con
Gresstonal election mentioned in the
Indictment. etc, The demurrer was
sustained and the heroic governor es
capped
Since the days of reconstruction
are gone, thank God. and since the
people have torn from public place

Arkansas in those dark days; since

ROMANCE OF AN OLD HOUSE.
Where Jefferson Davis Married the
Daughter Of Zachary Taylor.

A little frame house that stands
amid great beech trees in the rear OF
an imposing structure of recent date
near Crescent hill and a record Of
Jefferson county court are all that Is
left to tell of romance involving ia
nous names that was consummated
sixty-nine years ago.
1t is little known by Louisville peo-
pie that in this house, which is now
used as a servants quarters Jefferson
Davis, afterward president Of the Con
federacy. on June Il, 1885, married
Miss Knox Taylor, daughter of Gen.
Zachary Taylor, afterward conqueror
States.
In the Jefferson county court s
al chives there is q record of MARRIAGES
for 1885 which contains the following:
Jefferson Davis and Miss Knox
Taylor, of legal age, daughter of Zach
ary Taylor"
It was a romance with sad Sc
quel. Davis took his bride to his plan
tation in Mississippi. The climate
was not favorable and the young wo-
nan, accustomed to the purer air of
Kentucky, could not stand the mas-
ratio exhalations of the swamps.
Soon after her arrival in Mississippi
she grew i'll, stricken with fever.
Within three months of the time she
became a bride she was dead.
The pathetic sequel makes Gen. Tay-
lcrs objection to the wedding seem to
have been due to the prophetic feel
ings of devoted father. He strongly
disapproved of the match between his
daughter and Jefferson Davis, who
was then a soldier, with nothing to
indicate the great, though mournfu!,
career that was before him.
This opposition was not due to dis
like or mistrust of Davis, it seems
tut to Gen. Taylor's fear that as the

A sign of the growth in Importance

action of the school authorities of
the German government in making
English an optional study in the pub

was induced by petition addressed
to the government by the Dresden
Schoolmasters' association. The pc
t:tion was an excellent syllabus of the
arguments in favor of English as
subject for study in the German pub
lie schools. A portion of II was as

Second-It is the most important
language for Germany's international
