A NEW HISTORY
OF FLORIDA IN
THE CIVIL WAR
w. w. DAVIS, PROFESSOR IN CO.
LUMBIA UNIVERSITY, HAS FIN
ISHEO HIS BOOK ON THE RE-
CONSTRUCTION PERIOD AND
CIVIL WAR.

W. W. Davis, a young graduate and
professor in Columbia University. New
York city, has just finished his history
of the Reconstruction Days and the
Civil War" in this state. Mr.. Davis,
who is a first cousin Of P. K. Yonge,
of Pensacola, and is well known in this
city where he has often visited his rel
atives, spent more than two years In
Tallahassee diving into the official and
unofficial archives of Florida, many of
which are stored in the vaults of the
capitol. He also visited other towns
and cities of the state, including PEN
sacola, once the capital city, to study
their history. The following criticism
of his book which has just been pub
lished, appeared in the New York
Evening Post yesterday:
prof. w. w. Davis's stout volume
on The Civil War and Reconstruction
in Florida Iongmans, Green) adds
another to the long list of monographs
on American history, economies, and
public law for which we have to thank
the Columbia University School of Po-
litical Science and to which the palm
of definitiveness may confidently be
awarded. The author modest1y dis
claims any pretence that his work adds
greatly 10 the eSSSnIldl UNDERSTANDABLE
of the period with which it deals, or
that much that is new will be found
in his pages. Students of American
history are coming to see, however,
that the working of public policy I'm
the broad field of the nation is only
to be understood fully when its course
has been traced in the states also;
and as an exhaustive study of a state
during it's seventeen most critical
years, Professor Davis's work leaves
little to be desired. Where the whole
is so thoroughly done, comment upon
the excellence of particular features
is hardly necessary. Especially inter
esting and important, however, are the
chapters on the economic adjustment
of Florida to the war. with the sur
vey of industry, state finance, and ag
riculture during the war period; on
the conduct and treatment of the ne
gro from 1861 40 1865; on the opera
tions of the ill-starred Freedmen's bu
reau: and on the period of laWlessness
and crime which attended the tmposf-
ton of republican reconstruction.
Never, perhaps, has the course of
great political party suffered such
condemnation from histo-
rians as has that of the republican
party for the twelve years following

LAz POWELL, WHO HAS a
NUMBER OF CHARGES DOCKET
ED AGAINST HIM, Is AT LAST
IN THE TOLLS.

Laz Powell. colored, wanted for car
rying concealed weapons, assault with
a. knife and also as a dangerous and
suspicious character, was captured
late yesterday afternoon and locked up
at the city jail, where he was kept
all the afternoon. He Will be tried

white shoemaker near the old pas
senger depot, charged with assaulting
him with a knifa nd of threatening
him bodily harm. The police aIlege
that Powell went into a shop near the
depot and when he started out, was
said to have been carrying an appro-
priated pair Of shoes. When the pro-
prietor is said to have demonstrated,
Powell was alleged to have whipped
out a knife, slashed the shopman on
the arm and then fourished a danger
Gus weapon. An old charge, about one
year old, is standing against the same
negro, and the aged warrant was pro-
duced last evening when the negro
was taken 10 the station. This will
also be docketed against his this
