vigorously kicked General Longstteet's

It was the self-commissioned Senator Smith
who kept the Atlanta negro, Lincoln Johnson
in fat office in Washington City-$4, 900 a
year-where he is the boss Of white girls and
white men who have to obey the "burly
black"
It was the newspaper organ of the self
appointed Senator Smith which levied on
and sold the diamond wedding ring of Gen
eral LOngstreet's widow, because she was una
bic to pay Smiths Atlanta Journal the sum
of 5000, for publishing an article against the
Power-site grabbers at Tallulah Falls.
It is the self-appointed Senator Smith of
Georgia, who failed to make any fight in the
i. S Senate, on the nomination of the negro
Robert Terrell to be presiding Judge of the
Municipal Court of the Nations Capital!
What do you think of thut, my son!
Any Senator could have talked that shame

This decision to cheerfully 1iberate the Con-
federates was not reached until the Cabinet
had disconsolately debated the question for
two whole days.
Mr.. Rhodes states that this disavowal of
the capture, accompanied by restoration of
the prisoners, was accepted by Great Britain
"as sufficient apology" (See VOL w. p.
53S.)
According to this historian, Great Britain
was SO considerate of nation engaged i1o
CivI War, that she did not even demand
formal expression of apology, much less a
salute to her flag.
And Great Britain had not been prating
about Universal Peace, the Prince of Peace,
the Dove of Peace, and similar Wilson-Bryan
slobber-gosh.

why Didn't the American OFF,
GERS Shoot These Mexican
Priests?
Priests :?

TT is rule of war that civilian, caught
shooting at uniformed soldiers must be put
to death.
Germany enforced that rule against the
French, hanging every non-combatant who
fired on the troops
In the Tinoes-Democrat and Daily Picaye'ae
of Friday, April "a, last, there is long arti-
Gle from Vera Cruz headed,
"PRZESTS BATTLE WITH TROOPS"
Those Catholic priests not only fired upon
our bluejackets from the windows of
churches, but they climbed to the belfry, and
from that high point of advantage shot down
the American marines.
The priests were finally captured, being
taken en- the act.
WE'RE THEY HANGED OR SHOT?
BY no means, The paper says
"A search of La Parroquia (the Catholic
church) by Ensign Townshend. revealed
large quantity of ammunition and guns which
we're stored there.
The priests of the church were placed under
arrest and, with Father Blanco, their supe-
rlor were taken to American headquarters.
E0ery consideration, hoaoever, IS 6einQ
sb0ao1o the lor1estzy prisoners of qoar."
WHY THIS REMARKABLE' TENDER
NESS TO THESE PRIESTLY MURDE-
RE'RS OF OUR AMERICAN TROOPS?
Those Mexican priests, being non-combat-
ants, and being cuaght redhanded should have
been hanged on the spot
That's the law of war. Had French priests
fired on German soldiers in the war of 1870.
they would have dangled at the end of a
rope, within five minutes after their capture.
Will other Mexican priests feel encouraged
to make forts out of their churches, and to
snlpe-shoot our soldiers from the belfries?
Verify, the craven fear of the italian pope
IS making towards of our rulers, our editors,
and even our military officers.

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
When Our Federal Government
Seized Mason and SIideII ON a
British Vessel, Great Britain
Did Not Demand that Her
FLAG Be Saluted.

you may read a full account of one of the
most sensational incidents Of the Civil War
of the Sixties.
For some reason, not apparent, Woodrow
Wilson gave but a few lines to the episode;
although it came near embroiling Mr.. Lin
coins administration with England, and is
considered leading case in International
law.
The facts are these:
The Confederate Government appointed
James NJ. Mason and John Slidell to act as
Commissioners to Great Britain and France.
They ran the blockade, Nov. 1861, and reached
Havana. From that port they took passage
to England, in the British mail-ship, Trent.
In the Bahama channel the Union man-of-
war San Jaci71t0 fired two shots across the
bow of the Trent and brought her to. Cap
tain Wilkes Of the San Jaci41t0 sent a force of
marines on board the Trent, and forcibly took
off her passengers, Mason and Slidell, and
their secretaries, in spite of their appeal to
the British flag and in spite Of the protest Of
Captain Williams, Of the royal 'o0vy of Eng
land, who was in charge of the mails.
The prisoners were taken to Fort Warren
in Boston harbor.
Too hastily, the Northern people iubilated
over the capture of the Confederate Commits
sioners, who were threatened with hanging;
and Secretary Welles, of the y. S. Navy wrote
Captain Wilkes warm letter of congratula-
tions.
Boston gave banquet to the Captain and
laudatory speeches were made by Governor
Andrews, and by the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts,.
The lower House of Congress passed reso-
luton thanking the gallant Wilkes for his
glorious feat.
Secretary Welles stated afterwards that Mr..
Blair was the only member of the Cabinet
who doubted the legality of the act of the San
Jaciaato.
Mr.. Lincoln, however, was a good lawyer;
and a mighty level headed man: he did not
join in'the general iubilation. "He knew that
the act of Wilkes was not in line with the
principles for which he had contended, &C."
(Rhodes ". p. 1927
Charles Sumner was a great Constitutional
lawyer, with a special aptitude for inter-
national law: and Sumner also declared that
the act of Wilkes was in violation of the law
of nations.
Instead of releasing the prisoners at once.
as the Mexicans did at Tampico; and, instead
of apologizing at once as the Mexican author
tiles did at Tampico, Mr. Lincoln and his
Cabinet procrastinated, because Of the p0pu-
lar cz0na0r at the North.
Secretary William II. Seward waited until
1AOrd Lyons, the bflClSn minister at WASH
ington told him that the captives must be
released. This was Dec Is, 1861. Seward
asked for time. But on December. %, Lord
Lyons read to Secretary Seward the formal
demand of the British Government. In the
meantime, England had been getting ready
to fight.
MI. Lincoln called the Cabinet together on
Christmas morning, and the deliberation was
prolonged. Senator Charles Sumner
attended, and urged compliance with the
British demands Seward took the same
ground, and so did the minister of France

The voters of Ben Hill county

at the last session of the State
Legislature creating the new
commissioners bill. The new bill
does away with the $1,000 road
commissioner and places the
supervision of all of the county's
affairs back into the hands of the
county board. The new members
of the county board, Messrs. M.
Dickson, R. V. Handley and M.
W. Garbutt are of well known
ability and the voters of the
county will not hesitate to place
the entire business affairs of the
county into their hands.
