Among them were Robert Z. Lee
who became the Commander-in
chief of all the Confederate armies
Alexander Hamilton Stephens,
who became the Confederate Vice.
President, Benjamin H. Hill, who
was a confederate Senator and one
OF theConfederate administration
most ardent and perhaps its most
eloquent supporter, and even JEFF
ferson Davis himself is said to
have shed tears when at his seat
in the United States Senate he re-
ceived a telegram announcing that
Mississippi has actually passed an
ordinance of secession. The
speech of Mr.. Davis on taking
leave of the Senate shows his loyal
devotion to the Republic flag for
which be shed his blood in Mexi-
co. In profoundly sincere and
pathetic words he thus alludes to
his unfeigned sorrow at the
thought Of parting with the stars
and stripes. He said / shall be
pardoned if / here express the
deem sorrow which ALWAYS over-
whelms me when / think of taking
last leave Of that object of early
affection and proud association,
feeling that henceforth it is not to
be the banner which by day and
by night am ready to follow to
hail with the rising and bless with
the setting sun. He agreed, how
ever, with an overwhelming ma
jority of the Southern people in
the opinion that both honor and
security as we'll as permanent
peace demanded separation. Re-
ferring to the denial Of the right
of Southerners to carry their
property in slaves into the com
mon territories: He said 'sYour
votes refuse to recognize our do
nestle institutions which pre- ax-
listed the formation of the Union,
our property which was guarded |
by the Constitution; you refuse
US that equality without which we
should be degraded if we remain
ed in the Union. Is there Sena-
tor on the other side who will to-
day agree that we shall have equal
enjoyment Of the Territories Of
The United States. Is there one
who will deny that we have equally
paid in their purchases and equally
bled in their acquisition in war.
is the fault then if the
Union be dissolved. If you desire
vt this last moment to avert civil
war 50 be it; it is better so.
If you will but allow US to sepa-
rate from you peacefully since
we cannot live peaceably together,
o leave us with the rights we had
before we wefoaunited since we
;arnot enjoy them in the Union,
hen there are many relations
irawn from the association Of our
common) struggle from the Rev
stationary period to the present
lay which may be beneficial to
you as we'll as to us. Abraham
Lincoln, on the other hand, the
newly elected President, was deep
y imbued with the conviction
hat the future welfare of the Re-
public demanded that slavery
should be prohibited forever ia
i'll the Territories. Indeed upon
'nch platform be had been nomi
mated and elected. He therefore
irged his friends not to yield on
his point. His language was, on
he territorial question, that is the
question of extending slavery

iexible, | am for no compromise
which assists OF permits the extern
zion of the institution on soil own

Edah Hunt was a member of the
Richmond high school for three years,
until failing health compelled her to
abandon her hope of completing the
course. Her record for faithful and
conscientious work has rarely been
equaled in the history of the school.
"She was the most conscientious pu-
pill | ever had said one Of her teach
ers in a recent conversation. That
was the keynote of her character,
loyalty to duty anywhere and every
where Whatever her hand found
to do she did with all her might, with
no thought of selfish gain or personal
advantage Always kind, considerate,
cheerful, ready to help, she was a gen
eral favorite, and her memory will be
cherished by all who knew her real
worth and her unselfish devotion Dur
ing the last five years her home was
with Mrs. Hannah Graves, where her
loss is mourned as that of a daughter.
In hope of regaining her strength,
she went to Kansas last fall. but her
health gradually failed and she passed
quietly and peacefully away at
Wichita, Kansas, March z, 1904.

Notes.

The action of the polo managers
at Anderson yesterday was a great
disappointment to Richmond, and it
is claimed by the local polo managers
that it betokens the death of polo in
the west. The games will become lit
tie more than farce, since it is made
possible for one team to borrow play
ers from other Western League teams,
as has been done. NJ c. Henley says
he will not loan any Richmond play
ers, though the rules permit it. and
neither will he ask Western league
club to loan him player.

This is the way the Anderson Her
aid talks about Richmond's players
in the game last night:
"Shorty Jessup and his crew of
pugilistic offsprings were beaten IN
the stretch by the band of Norton
men last night after one of the free
est and fastest games ever witnessed
i'll the local rink.
Mr. Waller is learning rapidly and
he bids fair to rival the famous Billy
Lush Old man Cunningham s fall
ing stunts did not bother him a bit
and, as for Barney Doherty, he seems
to understand that gentleman thor
oughly.
From the first tap of the gong the
playing was as fierce as the most con-
firmed "knocker' could have asked
for. Early in the game Blondy Doh
erty donned his fighting garments
that have made him famous, but no
sooner did he make himself fairly at
ease in them than Mr.. Waller pro-
ceeded to disrobe him. Time after
time the blonde giant tried to carry
Lewis to the banks, and, failing in
that, he showed no hesitaney in using
his big hands. Three fouls were
called on him I'M quick succession
and he was informed that another
would result in his leaving the floor.
Jessup demonstrated with the referee,
but without avail, and, when a fine
was threatened, he quietly sneaked
back to his cage. Walters display of
nerve in the early part Of the game
served to make the rest Of the contest
fairly clean.
