LINcOLN'S TERMS.

1t has become the fashion for many
people TO assert that when our commits
sioners, Stevens, Campbell and Hunter,
met Lincoln and Seward at Fortress
Monroe in the spring of 1865 that Lin
coin offered terms of compromise very
liberal in themselves and which, but
for Mr.. Davis opposition, would have
beed gladly accepted by the people OF
the South. That such was the case is
untrue in every word. The terms off
cred were absolute surrender, return as
conquered provinces, and accept such
treatment from the North as it chose
to give. Below is what Mr.. Davis
wrote Senator Ben Hill just after the
conference, and sets out the fact that
nothing was offered as acceptable, as
could have been gotten by surrender,
and by no means as acceptable as Grant
gave Lee two months later.
"Richmond, Va, Feb. 6, 1865.
Hon. BENZ. H. Hill, Senator,
Macon, Georgia.
The commissioners (Stevens, Camp
bell and Hunter) have returned. They
met Lincoln and Seward at Fortress
Monroe; were informed that neither
the Confederate States nor an individ-
ual State could be recognized as having
power to enter into an agreement pre-
scribing the condition of peace. Moth
ing less would be accepted than I'M
conditional submission to the govern
ment and laws of the United States,
and that Congress had adopted a con-
stitutional amendment for the eman-
cipation of all the slaves, which dis
posed of that question.

JUDGE MANN'S WAR RECORD.

An attack was made some time age
by the Richmond Journal on Judge
Hann's war record. 1t is too late in
life, we think to affect Judge Mann
seriously by such attack. He and
his friends have seen cause to have the
Pickett-Stuart camp Of Nottoway coun-
~ pass resolutions On the subject. We
cannot publish the whole on account
Of space, but we give below tae Bird
resolution which in effect smbodies all
the others, and say in doing so, that
Judge Mann need not have answered
that charge at at all, o. his friends gem
orally did not feel uneasy on that score.
Here ID the resolution:
8. That, knowing Judge Mann as we
do, We take pleasure in declaring to the
people Of this Commonwealth, that n
soldier, judge, senator, . neigh
Dor, . friend and a Christian gentle
man, he has measured up to the full
standard Of all that we would require
of him; and that he enjoys the full con
f1dence, affection and esteem of his
nsighbors, his countymen, and all who
know him best.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY.

Lynchburg, or possibly Amherst
county, but we give the credit to
Lynchburg,i in addition to heavy sup
ply already on hand, has obtained the
entire outfit of epileptics of Virginia.
The colony goes there. The Hospital
board will do well to build ample
buildings and strong, because the
premises, Judging from it's location and
the fits thrown about the location of
the colony, in and around Lynchburg,
are likely to be overcrowded. We trust
everybody is now happy in that dry
town, after pllfering from the West
ern State Hospital legacy Justly be-
longing to it. Said Mr.. Sidney R.
Murkland in hir will-"I give to
the trustees of the Staunton Hospital
where my son, Sidney Price Murkland,
il now cared for, the entire balance of
my property, real and personal, the in
come from which is to be used by said
trustees to purchase extra comforts for
patients of said hospital for all time"
The object of this devise has been
and is now so plain that it looks like
breaking the will, indeed like robbing
his estate and hooking his desires to
divert it to the uses now undertaken.
In all conscience if the State Of Virgin
10 is going to use the property as pro-
posed, against the direct and expressed
order of the testator, the Legislature
ought to hunt up the heirs of Sidney
r. Murkland and return the property
to them. His intention admits of but
one construction which is that the
monev was to 60 to 'the hospital at
Staunton, where my son now is cared
for, to be used by said trustees for
for the purchase of extra comforts for
patients of said hospital" Not dol
lar will ever purchase comfort for the
patients of said hospital now, much less
''for all time" If the State of Virgin
ia does not feel that she is violating the
plain and manifest intention of the
will, her officers have no feeling. But
after all, epileptics are possibly like
others in misery-they love company.
They will find it at Lynchburg, we
hope.

ROCKINGHAM ROADS.

Rockingham county is taking the
lead in road improvement if reports be
true. Say what you will there is some
life IN that county. 1t set the pace in
courthouse building, and if it now sets
the pace in road building AS it seems
determined to do, Augusta and Rock
bridge may do as they did about court
house building profit by the example.
We learn that each district has pnr-
chased steam roller and are going into
road building with vim. 1t has been
nearly two years since the Churchvills
road was started in this county. At that
rate before our other leading roads are
macadamizsd many will have been
called to their long homes. The exam
pie Of Rockingham may profitably be
studied.

of Mr.. Lincoln, his lack of candor, if,
indeed, not his untruthfulness, caused
Virginia to join the seven already Sc
coded states, though she had done all
in her power to avoid the war. They
saw they had no friend in Washington
nor was the president a man upon
whom reliance could be placed. His
"duplicity'' was laid bare, and no Won
der the South saw there was but one
course, when confronted with such two
faced actions by the head of the gov
eminent, the now sainted Lincoln.

FRANKLIN MCVEAaH, Secretary of
the Treasury. Here we have fitness of
course. 1t has been the object of the
National banks to manage the finances
Of the government, to put themselves
into the banking business, and the gov
eminent out, to handle all of Uncle
Sans cash without paying any inter
est On it, and to handle every body elses
cash without any guaranty that the
depositors will get back any of their
money. Mr.. TAFT has picked man
perfectly fitted to these views and ca
pable of carrying them out. He has
chosen National Bank president from
Chicago and il there is anything the
banks have left uncaptured they will
now pick it up. Mr.. McVeagh was ut
one time lawyer, making, with the
possible exception of Secretary Wilson,
family of lawyers surrounding law
yer, and they should be very congenial.
One particular recommendation to Mr..
McVeagh, Is that he has been able to
train with both the Republican and
Democratic parties. lie left the Re
publicans and went into the Cleveland
camp in 1884, thus improving on his
Republicanism and getting into that
kind of Republicanism which has
proven to be the real thing. Of course
he could not stand Mr.. Bryan. He is
now, Republican of course, of the
brand most sought. Having at one
time and another renegaded from both
parties, he has qualifications not ordi-
narily possessed, and which may better
be described as unique.
Last, but not least, is JACOB MEGA
vocK DICKINSON, Secretary of War.
Mr.. Dickinson is a lawyer. He was
until just now the chief counsel of the
Illinois Central Railway. This Is said
to have been a $35, 900 job he surrenders
to take a job at $4,000. But he can
still serve his old clients, better here
possibly than as their paid attorney.
They need his help at Washington
maybe more than at Chicago Mr..
Dickinson belongs to that celebrated
class of Southern men who by associa-
lion with those of the North and hay
ing felt the pleasures of wealth have
''rene.aded" from that party Of power
~ known as Democracy, and is trying
to brkad the Solid South. He no doubt
makes due apology for the course of his
father during the late war, worships
Cleveland's memory, and is willing to
see both North and South solidly Re
publican, provided he prospers, and
negro equality is not brought to his
2oor, though beyond that cares not who
suffers from it. He is to be relied on |
to increase the army and spend SO much |
money that taxes must be kept up or !,
indeed increased, thus protecting the
protected even further than now. Hell
is the third renegade" Democrat from |
Tennessee to occupy cabinet position |
under a Republican administration. |
The first was David NICK. Key, then
Gen. Luke Wright, and now the pres
emit appointee. His State enjoys having
more s'renegades' who have proven a
target for political lightning than any
other in the South, and enjoyed being
the most disloyal to the South during
the war, although it seeded. This
ends the list which is to safeguard the
nation and hold the trusts at bay. Mr..
Dickinson says, 81 am a Democrat.

A NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

"Gen. Luke E. Wright, recent Secre-
tary OF War, will return to his home in
Memphis at the end of the week.
He will not resume the practice of
law, as has been announced. He will
rest until early in the summer. Then
he will be named as chief justice Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
Chief Justice Fuller is to retire.
Gen Wright is Roman Catholic.
His appearance on the supreme bench
will make two members belonging to
that faith, President McKinly having
appointed Justice McKenna, from Cali
fornia.
President Cleveland appointed f. D..
White, senator at the time, from
Louisiana, to the Supreme Court. Thus,
for the first time since the civil war, a
Southern Democrat was elevated to a
seat ON the highest judicial tribunal in
the world. Now comes another"
Gen. Wright, a Democrat. When the
party is compelled to claim men whose
aim has been to destroy it, May it soon
thereafter be blotted out. So Mr.. Taft
will appoint Gen. Wright, Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court. This is
news. For our part we wish he had
stuck to the traditional habit of all Re-
publican Presidents and appointed a
long lifed Republican from some
northern or western state. We lose con-
fidence in Southern men when they 60
tagging after the Republican party still
calling themselv YES Democrats. We know
there is lie out somewhere. All who
have been placed on the lower federal
courts in the South Of this stripe are
more truculent to the interests which
endanger the body polite, than any
others, and now that Gen. Luke Wright
is &c be made Chief Justice makes us
sad for the name of Southern men, be-
cause it has come to him by the sacri-
fee Of SO much that in life is called
principle. 1t is good to be Taft Demo-
crat.
The New York Central Railroad is
sued report that it would at once give
orders for $11,OOO,OOO worth of steel
rails, and new equipment. Coming as
this did on Inauguration day, the loyal
press seized upon it as evidence of great
industrial improvement. But on the
same day wheat fell 4 cents per bushel,
and the wages of labor were cut heavi-
ly in Pittsburg.

Peace on
Earth
CHRISTI MAS

We Americans have great many
holidays and the most of us can sue
coed in convincing ourselves that we
should celebrate all of them when they
in turn arrive, no matter whether it be
Labor Day-and we are living in rural
community far removed from all labor
strife-or the Fourth of July, Thanks
giving. Washington Birthday, or what
not, but there is no time nor holiday in
the whole year when the whole world
becomes one great family, all bent upon
the same purpose, as at Christmas.
There are, of course, a few people
who are so pessimistic, so narrow in
their views. so stingy that they cannot
and will sot, even this one time in the
whole year, try to make some one else
a little happier and some one eIse's life
little more pleasant, but the great
majority of the entire civilized world
are planning and scheming, and have
been possibly for weeks or months, to
bring happiness and good cheer into the
lives of others.

Good Will
Toward Men

much our lives may differ from some
creed doctrine or dogma laid down by
church or society, we all have, way
down in our hearts, the Christ Spirit
the spirit of Peace on Earth, Good Will
Toward Men.
It's the foundation this old world
rests upon, and if it was not for that
spirit, we would not, could not exist.
A corporation may grind its men to
the very breaking point during the
year, but it's this underlying spirit that
gives those same men turkey for
their Christmas dinner. It's that same
spirit that prepares the Christmas din
ners for the poor and the trinkets for
the kiddies.
Santa Claus may be a myth, but to
our minds he is the greatest saint of
all, for it's through his agency that we
bring the gifts, especially to the chill
dren, and through them in turn we are
rearing generation which shall make
this old world we are living in not
greater or richer, but better.
