federacy from Feb. 9, the date OF JEFF
ferson Davis election as president, to
May 81, 1861, when the change was
made to Richmond, Virginia.
Lees Army Disarmed in 1865.
The movements of the Federal army
leading up to the final surrender OF
Gen. Robert e. Lee at AppomattoX
Courthouse, after his army had been
driven to the last straits of suffering
by the irresistible and persistent cam.
paign adopted by Grant, was largely
owing to the advice of Phil Sheridan.
Richmond had been evacuated April 3,
1866, by the Confederates. after having
set fire to portions of the city. Lee had
not entirly given up the appearance
OF hope, and issued a proclamation to
his forces to keep on the struggle still.
But Sheridan followed up Lees re-
treat from Richmond toward Danville,
where the Southern commander hoped
to escape by crossing over the Apo
mattox to the mountains, and endeav-
or to join Johnston.
. Upon reaching Amelia Courthouse
Lee found that supplies he had or
dered were not to be had, owing to a
misinterpretation of his order. This
was terrible blow to Lee, and caused
him two days delay, which days he
had hoped to spend in pushing on be-
yond his pursuers. This delay en-
abled Sheridan, with eight thousand
mounted men to seize the Confed-
crate line of retreat at ;etersville
This movement gut an end to Lees
hope of reaching Danville and joining
Johnston. A battle was impossible,
for Sheridan had a force nearly equal
to his own and Grant was hurrying on
with the rest of the Federal army.
Lee, therefore, turned off and retreat
ed toward Farmville, hoping to be able
to reach Lynchburg.
At Jetersville Sheridan, seeing the
position of the Confederates and a hu-
name chance of ending the wnT with
out causing further loss Of life, wrote
to Grant in the following language: II
wish you were here yourself. l feel
confident of capturing the army Of
Northern Virginia, if we exert our
selves. l see no escape for Gen. Lee"
Sheridan, after passing Farmville,
pushed forward again, and by forced
march reached Appomattox station on
the night of the 8th, and planted his
forces squarely across the Confederate
line of retreat. The next morning
Lee, when near Appomattox Court
house, discovered this obstacle in his
way.
Lee had now but ten thousand men
with arms In their hands. AS soon as
he discovered Sheridan in his front,
Lee attempted to cut his way through
the lines, but, failing in this effort and
being convinced that further resist
anct would merely be useless sacri-
flee of his men, at 9 O'Clock on the
morning Of the 9th waved flag of
truce in front of his line, with the in
formation that hostilities had been sus-
pended in order to arrange terms of
surrender. The two commanders met
at house near Appomattox Court
house. and after brief interview ar
ranged tho terms of the surrender.
The defeated army was treated with
great liberality. The hungry Confed.
crates were fed by the victors, and
after laying down their arms were
permitted to return to their homes

on April 9. Three days later the
army of Northern Virginia formed in
divisions for the last time, and, march
ing to a designated spot near Appo-
mattox Courthouse, laid down it's
arms and disbanded. Out of the
twenty-eight Thousand men in the
army ordered to disband, there were
less than eight thousand who had
arms left. Fatigued and famished,
they had been unable to carry their
muskets during the last terrible days
CT their pursuit and presented a most
abject picture of wretchedness on the
day of their disarmament and parole.
The Federal troops treated their van
quished opponents with true soldierly
kindness, and carefully refrained from
everything which might seem to insult
the valor that had won their earnest
admiration.
The surrender of Lees army was
followed by the voluntary surrender
of all the troops in Northern Virginia,
including those in the Shenandoah
Valley. The news of the capture OF
Richmond and Petersburg and the sur
render of Lees army was received in
the North with the greatest rejoicing.
Bel's were rung, cannon fired and illu-
mlnations flashed in every town and
village, and thus closed the feats OF
Grant, Sheridan and Sherman in that
memorable elimination of the great
est war in modern history. The last

DIFFICULT PROBLEM

Should Marriages Between White and
Colored Persons be Forbidden?
The South african Parliament is
confronted with the question Of the ad-
visibility of prohibiting, marriage be-
tween white and colored persons.
Mgr. .Gaughren,- Vicar ADostolic of
Kimberley, has stated the Catholic
position in the matter as follows:
While all are agreed that mar
rlages between the White and black
races are, generally speaking, very
undesirable, and while we can, there
fore, give Mr.. Grobler credit for the
best of intentions in introducing the
pr0hlbitory clauses in the marriage
bill, nevertheless, in view of the de-
plorable consequences certain to re-
suit from the adoption of this clause,
1T is the duty Of every lover of the
country to protest against it, and to
oppose it by every legitimate means.
"The result of mixed marriage of
the kind referred to is, at worst, but
a physical evil, while the prohibition
will issue in flood of moral evil in
comparably more ruinous and degrad-
ing. An effect probably not foreseen
by the author Of the clause is that it
will, if accepted, bring men, whose
great desire is to live as dutiful and
law-abiding citizens, into conflict with
the law.
whatever the new law may enact,
it will be the duty of the Catholic
clergy, for whom | speak with au-
thority, to bless marriages of the
kind referred to, if their people call
upon them to do so.
"They must take the consequences
of their opposition to the law of Par
lament, in order to be faithful to the
law of God.
II have no right to speak for the
clergy of other denominations, but l
feel sure that many of them will take
the same view of their duty.
"A law which thus conflicts with
conscience can not long be main.
tanned. Universal experience proves
that, speaking generally, the less the
state interferes in the matter of mar.
riage, and the more the freedom of
the citizen is respected, the better.
Beyond prohibiting what the moral
law plainly forbids, and determining
the legal status and rights consequent
on marriage, it ought to be enough
for the state to be satisfied that mar
riage has been contracted according
to the formula of any recognized re-
ligious body, and to accord it formal
sanction.
'In a country such as this It is only
by certain self-restraint on tie part
of our lawmakers that serious diff
culties and complications can be
avoided"
