Saturday Morning. December 19,1874
Qtmral Lee.
Au important contribution baa just
been added to the literature which has
for its object a faithful account of the
oharaoter, services und illustrious qual?
ities of General Robert E. Lee. No?
thing is more oertain than that his
fame is already hiatorio, and is destined
to grow in the estimation of men the
more oieariy the great facts of his life
are brought out and portrayed. F.ev.
J. William Jones, D. D., formerly a
ohaplain in the Army of Northern Vir?
ginia and of Washington College, had
abundant opportunities to study his
subject, and uuusual advantages in ac?
cess to papers, in presenting to the
publio personal reminisoeuoes, aneo
doteH and letters of the great Confede?
rate General. We make reference to
this volume, this morning, merely to
show that whilo General Lee depre?
cated everything like unnecessary bit?
terness of expression toward* the peo?
ple of the North, and earnestly and on
all suitable ocoasione advised that the
sores of civil war should be healed,
and the marks of oivil strife be obliter?
ated, he was far from acquiescing iu
the infamies of the reconstruction
Acts. This may be plainly seen in a
lotter addressed to Gen. Longstreet, in
Ootober, 18G7, copied in this volume.
Longstreet appears to have asked him
to make a publioatiou advising the
white people of the South to accept
the Shermau-Shellabargcr bill. He
declined writing suoh a letter as was
deBired. He gave it as his opinion,
however, that all who oan should vote
for the most intelligent, honest and
conscientious men who wore eligible
to offioe, irrespective of former politi?
cal opinion. While, he says, we
should act under the law, and accord?
ing to the law imposed upou us, "I
cannot think the course pursued by
the dominant political party the best
for the interests of the country, aud,
thorofore, cannot say so, or give it my
approval. This is the reason why I
oould not comply with the request iu
your lotter." These are golden words,
breathing the essenoo of true wisdom,
manly frankness aud enlightened po
lioy, and testifying to sublime tena?
city of purposo und uniiiuching pa?
triotism. Events aro hastening on,
and will in no great time justify the
political sagacity of these views, as
they will place in aoutinually increas?
ing splendid light the unsullied vir?
tues of Lee.
He duct: as well us 'Postpone tUe Taxes.
Mr. Cannon's resolution instructing
the Committee of Ways aud Means to
inquire into the expediency of ao
amending the tax law as to extend the
time of payment of taxes, and to col?
lect them in two installments, is a
step in the right direction. The peo?
ple will hud it difficult to pay the tax
at the time fixed, and it wonld be some
relief if the burden should be both ex?
tended aud divided. But another
thing should be done. The tax should
be lessened considerably. It is mon?
strously high, when we consider the
condition of the people, and their
ability to pay it. What need is there
of such enormous taxes? We want
only a simple, moderate and economi?
cal government. Mr. Cannon's reso?
lution might bo profitably r.mendcd so
as to instruct tho Ways and Means
Committee to oousidor the propor and
necessary reduction of taxes, and tho
curtailment aud diminution ol salaties.
This iu the reform requirod by tho
necessities of tho people. Curtail,
uconomiso, reduce. Tho poor people,
who oan hardly get bread, aud who |
uanuot educate their children, demand
that ull olliuiula shall be pul upon
shorter commons. Luxuries uud ex?
travagance are uusuitod to these hard
times.

The bill reported from the Commit
Of Ropreseritntives, providing for pay
ment of salary and miluugaof members
and for pay of attaeheeaand subordi
nates of the General Assembly, was,
yesterday, after debate, laid on the
table. The sum fixed in it for
members is $103,000; contingent ex?
penses of the Senate, $10,000; of the
House, $15,000. The re wub some dis?
cussion upon motion to strike out
815,000 uud insert $7,500, and upon
amendment to substitute $3,000 for
the labt named sum. Mr. Treuholm,
of Charleston, regarded the occasion
as favorable for practical reform. Ho
was anxious for the Republicans to
have all the honor und advantage
which might enure from it, and trusted
that they would not fail to so manage
affairs as to present to the people a
clean balance at the eud of the fiscal
year. He illustrated the fact that it is
the laboring classes who pay the great
burden of the taxos, and showed the
heavy burthens which fall npou thorn
from the mode iu which they have to
make their purchases. Baying salt by
the quart, they pay five times ila cost,
and eo with the other uaoeBsaries of
life, It was all importuut that ull ex?
penses to bo incurred hero should be
made as light as possible, iu justice to
the poor, who pay the taxos mainly,
aud who are at such uud so many dis?
advantages iu life. Other speakers
thought that reform was n very good
thing, but might be carried too far,
and did not favor tho amendment. .It
was agreed to, however, as was also u
motiou mado by Mr. Cannon, of Spar
tanburg, to substitute $2,000 in place
of $10,000 for tho Senate contingent
fund.
Thus far reform proceeded smoothly.
But upon Mr. Mailer's motiou to in?
sert $75,000 instead of $103,000 for
payment of salary aud mileage of
members and subordinate, officers, it
lost its reckoning and drifted upon
duugcrous rocks. The proposition
was regarded as a good juke, and first
the enuotiug clause of the bill was
attacked, uud next und last, it was iu
gloriously laid upou the table The
elongated faces of many members, who
were towed along the difficult path of
economy aud reform, brighteued up
when tho frail craft was wrecked. If
their salt costs Uvo cents u quart, the
State pays lor it. On with contin?
gents and salaries.
We are anxious to learn what tho
Radical caucus in Congress will do to
save tho party aud the country. They
seem to resemble another party simi?
larly situated, which was described by
Juuius us tenants who had received
notice to quit, aud who were breaking
the furniture uud trying to play havoc
with the premises. "After us the
deluge" is their motto; and tho deluge
is certainly coming.

It docs not seem to agreo with tho
Hawaiian Kings to leave homo und'
travel iu foreign lands. In 1S23,
Kamohameha II, son of Kamehameba
the Great, who founded tho Hawaiian
Empire, visited Englaud with his
Queen Katucbamelu uud ttnUo. They
reoeived much attention iu London,
and mot with a cordial reception from
Georgo IV, but they were all attacked
with the measles, and both the King
and Queen didd iu London. Ktme
h u tn en a IV visited Europe in 1S50,
oud returned homo in bad health. In
185G, he married Emma, the adopted
daughter of his physiciau, who was nu
Englishman, and hud u son by her.
Tho boy died, and the King, who was
still endeavoring to eradicate tho
traces ol his European trip by the use
of stimulants, wounded ono of his
companions in u lit of intoxication,
ana thou died Lorn remorse, grief and
ill health, leaving an uuliuudicd trans?
lation oi the book of common prayer. '.
Tho fifth Katnehuineba rotuitiued til |
homo and ended his line by bis death j
in 1873. l'rinco Luimlilo was elected
to succeed him, but ho died February
3, 187-1, and tho present lung, David
Kulakuuu, thou a high chief, was
ulected in his place. King ivtthikaua
has nouu of the hereditary disposition
to tliscase and indiscretion of the
Katuuhutuchas, but ho has boon sick
ever sinco he has been in this country,
and is now under tho care of a physi?
cian iu Washington, being too uuwell
to leave his room or receive visitors.
Ho is an intelligent aud progressive
ruler, and said to bo freo from the per?
sonal vices that degraded some of his
predecessors. Ho iu of a now stock,
and being thu founder of his royal
houso, hu has a laudable ambition* to
murk his reign by kouio conspicuous
improvements. Hia ombassadnrd pro
ceded him to this country to negotiate
a friendly commeroial treaty with our
Government, and while his own visit
iu merely for his own personal edifica?
tion and pleasure, his presence will no
doubt facilitate tho arrangement of
tho terms of the treaty. Thu occasion
is auspicious for strengthening our
commercial foothold in the Sandwich
Islands, aud both tho interest aud
courtesy of tho oouutry will induce
sincere regret at tho indisposition of
thu King.

Mio.3 Ada Okay as Cora.?Par?
ker's Rail was well filled, last evening,
with au intelligent audience, who
greeted the star and company with re?
peated appluuae. Miss Gray, us Cora,
iu "Article 47," threw her whole soul
into her work, aud presented a living
embodiment of the willful woman, who
feasted upon poison aud lived for the
gratification of self. The play deals
with a very couiruou phaso of life, and
teaches a healthy moral. Mim? Cray
has given the character olose study,
uud in its portraval evinces clearness
j of judgment allied to subtlety aud
power. Iu her bauds, Cora lives aud
moves the type of selfishness, reckless?
ness und unbridled passion. You for?
get io the portrayal of tho character,
that it is but theatric art, and not the
Btern reality. Iu the mad scene, the
noting was paiufullv real. The various
! emotions that flecked her face, the
j loug-drawu sigh, the settled look of
horror that congealed the blood, the
air of doubt and the awful Buffering,
j were painted with un intensity and
' power which geuius alone oan give.
1 When her lover tears the covering
from ber face, she stood like some en?
raged pythoness, half angel, half tiger,
aud hurled iu his teeth the word
"coward," charging the word with
suoh magnetic power as to thrill the
j listener. All through the scene, she
J developed each phase of emotion, and
i freighted each sentence with the awful
I frenzy that paralyzed her being. The
insanity in the blood looked out of the
eyes, cast ita eLindow over the face and
quivered through the voice, as if the
soul was iu the very agouies of vivi?
section. Miss Gray has beauty of
face and perfeotion of Ggure; her
voice is powerful aud well trained,
rising high in scenes of passiou, and
pleading for pity in its wealth of
