iTHECLOSING SCENES AT APPOMATTOX.
Glowing Tribute to the Vanquished.
X.; It is exactly ten years this morning
since the surrender at Appomattox
Court-houee terminated tho splendid
defence of Virginia against the most
fearful odds with which in the memory
of man, soldiery courage and military
genius have ever had to contend, and
brought the existence of the Confederate
States to a close. Never was a more
glorious national history crowded into
a few years; never was a more brilliant
record m the annuls of war than that ot
the vanquished army. To say nothing
of.the three years of incessant lighting
and almost unbroken though fruitless
victory that proceeded it, the final dofence
of Richmond and Petersburg is an
achievement almost unsurpassed in
martial history. The lines of the Virginian
army extended over a space of
lull thirty'miles, protected only by a
ditch and an earthwork which an English
hunter would easily surmount,
and which a child might climb without
difficulty. This vast extent of hasty
fortifications was held by a force which
at no time exceeded 4-5,UOU men; while
in their front lay a host which always j
> exceeded 100,000, and which could draw
on unlimited reinforcements and un-j
bounded resources. The defenders!
could not hope for another battalion, I
could not replace one of the men con- j
tinually wasted by casualties, by sick-;
ness, and q,t last by desertion. The
assailants had everything they could j
desire in unstinted abundance; the do- J
fenders had a scanty supply of bread'
and powder, and no more. The enemy:
could choose tlu-ir pointof attack; the be-!
leairnered armv had toornaril their whole
line. - Yet only once in the course of!
six months were the defences pierced.;
On that occasion the explosion of the?
mine shattered the fortifications and J
dispersed the forces of the Confederates, |
and a Federal Division marched in ; but,
before the enemy had been able to make j
lip their minds to push their advantage,}
a single brigade of Southerners came]
up, and with one volley and one charge
droveoul the intruders, outnumbering j
them'fivefold, at the point of the bavo-1
net, and strewed the narrow space "between
the opposing lines with the dead
and dying. And when at last the de-1
fence was overpowered, the lines were!
not pierced, but stretched to breaking;!
General Grant pushing his ci renin vail a-j
tion westward, so as to threaten the
only line of supply find retreat left to
Lee, and compelling him to extend his
defences in like manner, till his wasted
forces could no longer muster even a
skirmishing line to hold the trenches
and the masses of the besiegers broke
the tensely stretched thread by mere
weight. The story of the desperate de-;
fence which held them at bay for twen-j
.ty-four hours longer, and made good the
Confederate retreat; of the terrible six
.days' march without provisions or supplies,
pressed by an overwhelming enemv
in flniik nnil rnnr nml nt In^f infur.
cepted by the rapid movement of Shor-j
.idan's dragoons, wlio by themselves]
outnumbered the entire army of Virginia;
the final capitulation of 8,000 sabres'
and bayonets to more than 100,000, and j
the bearing in that painful hour?on the]
9th April, 1865?or General Lee, commanding
the reluctant reverence of his
enemies, and calling forth one last!
burst of passionate affection from the
comrades to whom he spoke his simple
farewell, "We have fought through the I
war together; I have doue my best for
you"?these things no one* who has
read them can ever forget. And it isj
mot to recall their memory that we note!
the tenth anniversary of Lee's surren-j
Uer.
We desire rather to remember the
hopes which were entertained, and to
inquire in what way and by what agen-;
cies they have been disappointed. In
the first moment of victory there seem-'
ed to be almost as little of bitterness in |
the temper of the victors as there was of j
unllon nmnntninri*' in f lm iLhv?ao??/m? r\ f I
the vanquished. Indeed, except on the
principle that "they ne'er pardon who'
nave done the wrong," the North had!
nothing to revenge. They were aggres-j
sors in that attack on Southern institutions
and Southern independence which j
provoked secession, They were the!
assailaute in the war. The Confederates!
were willing to accept their fate, and j
forbear to comment on the savage Van- j
dalism of their conquerors; the extinction
of slavery was a necessary con-j
sequence in the eyes both of conquerors
and conquered ; the North had nothing
to revenge, and no right to punish, fori
(the charge of rebellion was felt by all!
sane men to be a mere term of abuse,!
and that of ill-using prisoners was refuted
by the simple fact that a larger percentage
died in Northern prisons, where
every hardship suffered must have been
<lolih[.rn^hr ?.wl ivoritnnl.T
'than in tho South, where it was scarcely
possible either to feed or .shelter them, j
It was felt for the moment that the!
Union might really be restored ; that |
the war might be regarded simply as a
trial which had decided once for all!
issues that could be solved in 110 other!
way, and might be remembered 011 j
either side without shame and without
bitterness; the glory achieved on the
weaker side compensating the victory ['
won by sheer superiority of force on the
stronger. We in England certainly
hoped it might be so. The Xorth had j
grofessed to fight for union alone; tliej1
outh had surrendered 011 the faith of
innumerable and most solemn assuran-1'
ces that all was required of her was that i
she should resume her place and her j
privileges?slaveiy alone excepted, j
There can be no doubt that we were |
greatly mistaken. The bitter vindic-p
.five t?mr>pr dianlfived hv thr> Rennhli- H
can faction ever since the war, and the j <
tactics of their leaders, who resolved to! i
make of the Southern States rotten
borroughs to return Radical senators |
and representatives, and subject pro-:i
vinces to furnish patronage, pay, andj<
plunder for Radical creatures and camp- <
?*- ... -36
followers, show what was, from the
first, the spirit of .New England Pnritanism
ami Western Republicanism.
But if Mr. Lincoln had lived there
would have been no such outburst ol
popular fury as made these men masters
of the situation. If he had lived
his influence would have been directed
to moderate his party ami to reconcile
his countrymen. His death, the crime
of two or three mono-maniacs, was
avenged by the murder of several innocent
persons, by a shameful attempt to
I implicate the Southern leaders, which
I those who made it knew to be utterly
I dishonest and attrociously wicked, but
j which for -v time really imposed on the
Northern populace, and by a reaction
'which gave uncontrolled ascendency,
, during ten years, to the chiefs of the
I party which professed to his?and
i which reversed his most clearly-defined
[policy, and deliberat* ly sacriiiced his
Boost cherished objects. The result of
{Their government and legislation during
| ten years of peace is that, in the opinion
! not of hot-headed Creoles or fanatic
Carolinians, but of calm Virginia Englishmen,
rhe feeling of the South is
i more bitter, more resentful to-day than
' it was on this day ten yoars ago.
No one who remembers the facts can
'wonderat the result. The protracted
| imprisonment of President Davis, the
| wanton indignities and cruelties inllietjed
on the chief of a great people* could
j not embitter and exasperate threir feellings.
The robbery of General Lee's
i family (for robberpt is by Federal law)
i was a piece "of niean and paltry spite,
i which would tio more harm than graver
and more real wrongs. But of public
| wrongs the worst and gravest there has
j been enough to madden any people once
accustomed' to liberty. Not only has
I equality been given to the negro, but
i his heel has been set on the neck of the
I white man. No justice has been obtainable
against negro criminals, while nelyroes
illiterate, iirnorant. insolent, have
been appointed to magistracies once
tilled by the foremost gentlemen of the
South, Suttiers, camp followers, electioneerers,
all the tag-rag and hob-tail
of the Radical party have been sent to
govern States in which not a lamdred
men who can read or write are Radicals.
They have grown rich on the plunder
of a country wasted by war and ruined
ed by emancipation. They have encouraged
the negro to idle and steal, so
that land cannot be cultivated; and
then have sold these lands to pay the
enormous taxes required by their tinanj
cial extravagancies. They have incurred
gigantic debts, and stolen the entire
proceeds. And they are upheld in power
while doing these things, by Federal
bayonets?a fact which makes General
Grant and his supporters their accomplices
in the the fullest sense of the
word. The South has been lirst devastated
bv the war; then robbed by uncompensated
emancipation and by the
confiscation of State debts; then ruined
by the idleness to which the negroes
were encouraged ; and lastly crippled in
all her efforts to recover "herself by a
j fraudulent administration, a gigantic
taxation and systematic mis-govern|
ment. She is almost as poor to-day as
I sue was in isuo; wnereas, it- icit 10
j herself, she would long ago have repaired
the ravages of war, and recovered
more than the wealth she possessed
! in 1S00. A more complete censure 011
the government and legislation of the
I last ten years than her present condition
a fiords it is impossible to imagine.
Happily ; it would seem that the tide
| has turned. The Conservative reaction
is still in progress, and we may hope
next year for a House of Representatives
which will arrest Federal interference,
ami in two years more for a
Senate and a President who will do
their best to repair the crimes and follies
of the last ten years, lint we shall
none of us live to see the traces of those
crimes and follies wiped - out. Five
years of peace and self-government
might have ellaced the traces of Sherman's
savagery and Sheridan's havoc;
fifty years will not undo the work of
the' "carpet-baggers" and adventurers
whom the Radicals have set over the
South, or remove the feelings which
their rule has engendered in the heart
of a proud, a free, a self-respecting people,
who have inherited English ideas
and an English spirit with their E11
gnsn dioou.?jLonaon stantiarti.

Money Untax able.?Under the United
States law which exempts from taxation
".stocks, bonds treasuary notes and
other obligations of the United States,"
it has long been held by many that national
bank notes as well as greenbacks
were exempted, and a recent opinion of
the comptroller of the currency fully
confirms this view. It will be seen that
the whole question turns upon the meaning
of the word "obligation" as expressed
in the law and this is the comptroller's
definition of it:
The words "obligation or other security
of the United States," shall be held
to mean all bonds, certificates of indebtedness,
national bunk currency,coupons
United States notes certificates of deposit,
bills, checks or drafts for money
drawn by or upon any authorized officers
of the United Stales, stamps and other
representatives of value, of whatever denomination,
which have been or may be
issued under any act of congress.
This construction renders itquite plain
that nothing in the nature of what is
understood to De "money" is legally taxable,
and that the exemption applies to
all forms of taxation, whether federal,
state or municipal. This is a consideration
of no little importance to those who
are in*the habit of returning money as
part of their property. j

uncommonly late last night, and 1 was

in discussing ritualism that we did not;
notice the fleeting hours, papa." "Dis-I
cussing ritualism?" sternly queried the!
father, and then ho walked slowly away
with his hands under his coat skirt, trying
to remember what they called it

He is a little fellow, just toddling, but

laughed. Papa pretended to be oflend- j

.
. If Byron's ancestry was a dark oneonliis
father's side, it was an evil one on his mothI
er's, who was an incarnation of all unrea- ]
. son. She was ignorant, she was silly, she i
was passionate; in her rages she was uncontrollable.
Sho would indulge him to
II exccss ono day, and the next he was "a
I Aamo Drat." Yvnen tney were oa gooa
I terms he would call her "Kitty Gordon,"
! and when they were in their theatrical 1
j ragcB ho would throw open the door of the
j drawing-room and say, "Enter the honor!!
able Kitty."- She was fond of him, in her
: wild, foolish way, and was generally at war
j with his guardian and his tcacher. lie
| was allowed, while at 6chool, to spend Sun;
day with her; but that did not satisfy her,
for she frequently kept him a week and
would not send him back. When his teacher
refused to let him visit her she went to
the school and abused him so loudly that
the scholars and the servants could not help
hearing hey. "Byron, your \ t is a
fool," said one of his schoolma: * i know
it," he answered gloomily.
Whether Bjrou loved his mother may be
doubted, but it is certain that he treated
her with respect and deference. He repaired
to Newstead Abbey and placed her in it 1
when he went abroad, and frequently, wrote
to her, addressing her as the Honorable
Mrs. Byron, a title to which she had no
claim. She was proud of his genius, ar*d
read with eagerness all that she eaw about
I
him in print. When ho returned to England
after hiu two years' travel, she was
anxious to see liim. ^ wrote from his hotel
in London tlv.it ho would soon see her,
and in the postcript e? the note said: "You
will consider New^tead as your house, and
Hot mine, and 111c only as a visitor." Su- ,
perstitious at all times, she remarked to ,
her waiting woman, when she read the
i note: "If I should be dead before Byron
comes down, what a strange thing it would
be !" The strange thing came to pass, and .
was brought about by a fit of rage into |
which she was t'nvv.u by reading over her
i upholsterer'o uiils. Byron received notice of
her illnoss. and started imrru'ilintplv Vi.m* i
but arrived t.j Lite. She had breathed her
lost. "My poor mother died yesterday," he
wrote his friend lJigot, "and I am on my
way from town to attend her to the family
vault. 1 heard one day of her illness, the
next of her death. Tliank God, her last
moments were tranquil. I now feel the
truth of Mr. Gray's observation, that we
can only have one mother."
Byron was deeply touched by his mother's
death. On the morning of the funeral
he would not follow the loily to the grave,
but stood looking from the Abbey door, until
the procession had moved off.
AN ANC1KM AlUiUlC SYSTEM.
The library of Asshurbanipal, King of
Assyria, found during Mr. Layard's excavations
at Nineveh, shows that science had
made no little progress in Asia twenty-five
hundred years ago. This curious library
consisted of flat, square tablets of baked
clay, having on each side a page ot closely
written cuneiform cursive letters,"which had
been impressed on the clav while it was vet
I ?""
; moist.
j The great majority of these tablets are now
in the British Museum, and have been found
j to contain the remain* of an immense grami
inatieal encyclopedia. There are also fragj
ments of many math .'Uiatical and astronoj
inical treatises, with catalogues of observations,
tables, calcula 'ons of eclipses of the
moon, and observations of solar eclipses,
the earliest of which occurred nearly a thou!
sand years before the beginning of the
I Christian era. There arc also fragments of
| law books and legal records, books of chronology,
manuals of history, accounts of Assyrian
and other divinities, collections of j
hymns in the style of the Psalms of David, |
1 a geographical encyclopedia, works on nat- j
! ural history containing lists of plants and |
auimal3, of timber trees employed in build- I
' ing and furnishing, of stones fit for architecture
and sculpture, etc.
! Perhaps the most interesting of all these 1
! lists is a classified catalogue of every spe. 1
j cies of animals known to the Assyrians,
I showing a scientific nomenclature similar *
; in principle to that of Linnasus. Opposite ?
j the common name of each animal is placed
a scientific and ideographic name, composed
I of two parts, a family name and a charac- (
j teristic epithet denoting the species. ?
A still more remarkable indication of the -I
scientific advancement of the ancient Assyrians
appears in their system of weights
and measures, in which, as in the French
system, all tho units of surface, capacity 1
and weight were derived from one typical G
linear unit. Tho basis of the system was ^
tho cubit (equal to 20'67 inches).' This
i was amaea into sixty parts, corresponding T
j -with tlie minutes of tho degree. The cu- ?
bit, multiplied by 3G0, the number of degrees
.in the circle, produced the stade, the
unit for large distances.
The fundamental unit for areas was the a
square foot, tho squaro of a measure bearing
to the cubit the relation of 3 to 5 or 1
12*1 inchcs of our measure. Tho cube of ^
the foot was the metreta, the standard of
all measures of capacity; and the weight of
a cubic foot of water gave the talent the
fundamental unit of weight; the sexagesi- ^
mal division of the talent gave, first the
mina (=510 83 grains) and second, the C
drachma (=S'51b *
'I
Tho sexagesimal system was employed f(
throughout their mathematics, the unit be- >,
ing invariably multiplied or divided by six- u
ty, the result agaiu by sixty, and so on to ^
infinity.
A few days ago a passenger on the Balti- ^
more and Ohio Railroad put his valise, containing
seven thousand dollars in cash, on
the rack over his head, and soon after went to
Bleep. On awaking, his valise was gone. By ^
the aid of the telegraph and throe detectives ?
it was soon recovered from a gentleman at
Winchester, Va., who liad taken it by mistake?leaving
his own in its stead?and
who did not discover his blunder until the
