when did the leaders OF the Confed-
eracy first realize that their attempt
to establish a new nation was doomed
TO failuree That is a question that
has always interested students OF our
Civil war, and one which has been vari-
ously answered by not few Confeder-
ate leaders themselves.
The venerable Frederick W. Seward,
who was nearly murdered while de-
Tending his father the night Lincoln
was shot, and who was assistant ana
acting secretary Of state under Presi-
dents Lincoln, johnson and Hayes, told
me one day that he almost Invariably
put this question to the many former
leaders OF the Confederacy whom II
was his good fortune to meet on terms
OF friendship after the close Of the war
'Of course said Mfr. Seward, who is
now in his eightieth year, "the answers
were widely varied and all OF them
were interesting, but, / think, the one
that interested me most was that given
me by the late George A. Trenholm,
who was secretary Of the treasury for
the Confederacy from June of 81 on,
and who, before then, ran past our
blockade a lot OF much needed sup
plies for the Confederacy. He was
one OF the most successful merchants
the South ever produced, and he was
born and lived in Charleston, South
Carolina.
Il said 10 Mr. Trenholm one day,
after we had come 10 know each other
as friends. following his pardon by
President Johnson and release from
prison: 4 would like TO know just
when II was that you began TO despair
OF the success OF the Confederate cause.

ment.
