A GREAT H0LD1ER. >. Charles Francis Adanls on Gen. Robert Edward Lee. SAYS HIS HUMANITY IN ARMS ??? Antl Hi* Scrupulous llc^ard for tin* All VUllCt'U Itllll'd ol'l'lvtlizeil WarI'arc Fntltle Him to HihIiiriiijj Fame. The Hon Clias. I-'ranees Adams, of Boston, Mass., in his address at the Cm federate banquet in New York recently, 011 the life and character of Gen. Kobt. Edward Lee, said: "Mr. Commander, Otlieersand Members of the confederate Veteran Camp of New York: A New Knglander, by birth, descent, t radition, name and environment closely associated with Massachusetts, 1 was a t'nion soldier from 18(51 to 1805, and the one lxiast 1 make in life was, and is, and will ever be that, 1 also bore arms and confronted the Confederacy, and helped to destroy it Formerly of the Armv of the Potomac, through long years 1 was intent on the overthrow of the Army of r Northern Virginia. "So far, moreover as that great past is concerned, having nothing to regret, to excuse or to extenuate, 1 am yet here on this day to respond to a sentiment in honor of the military leader once opposed to us?a Virginian and a Confederate. Nor, all this being thus and so, if asked why 1 am here, would the answer be far to seek. Primarily, as a Massachusetts man, 1 confess to a feeling of special kindliness towards two other states of t he Cnion two of t he originial thirteen, above all the other present forty and five South Carolina and Virginia. Those, with Massachusetts. I hold to have been, essentially, pivotal states. Communities peculiarly prolific of men the ex ponents ot ideas fiom them have g me forth those migrating columns which met in tierce grapple foi the maintenance and the ascendancy of that in which they believed. "So, if 1 may be permitted lirst to say a word personal to myself: when, the other day scarcely a month ago 1 w:iscalled on to speak in Charleston to an audience if South Carolinians, I I t'HCtai\nili>rl *i t 'inil I ilirl cm lut. _ ? ... ...... ? ' cause my heart went out to them as those of iny count rymen to whom 1 had once beeii most bitterly opposed countrymen still, trough I had come to know that, as foemen, they were men of whom it behooved us most to take heed. As exponents of their ideas right and wrong Massachusetts and South Carolina were peers. They had not followed: they had led. "And so as 1 told them lully conscious that 1 was walking on ashes still hot, in the very creator of what had within all our memories been the most terrific volcano of a century walking there amid sulphurous memories. I chose for my theme the constitutional ethics of secession. In a wholly dispassionate spirit, I addressL ed myself to it as a purely academic I question; but l wanted to know whether the time had indeed come [ ? whtnt-Hi'J-frid friendly feeling was restored, and the Iocs of a former generation coiiiil again talk together calmly and as brethren over issues once burning. The reception of what 1 said justified my faith in those to wh >me I said it. Never have i met with more * cordial welcome?never did 1 receive a more fraternal response. "Next came the Confederate veterans of New York: they called, and 1 am here. At this banquet given in honor of the memory of hobert K. Lee 1 am asked t.o respond to a sentiment in his honor, and, without reservation, 1 do so: for, as a Massachusetts man, I sec in 111 in exempli lied those lolly elements of personal character, which, typifying Virginia, made Washington possible. The possession of such qualities by an opponent cannot hut cause a thrill of satisfaction from the sense that we also, as foe no less than as count ry-inen. were wort h.v of him, and of those whom he typilied. 11 was a great company, that old, original thirteen; and in the front rank of thai company Virginia, Massachusetts and South Carolina stood conspicuous. So 1 recognize a peculiar fellowship l?eIweenthem the fellowship of those who have loth contended shoulder to shoulder, and fought face to face. "This, however, is of tlie past. Its issues are sett led never to l?e raised again. Hut, no matter how we may discuss the rights and the wrongs of a day that is dead its victories and defeats one thing is clear beyond dispute victor and vanquished Confederate and Cnionist the descendants of those who between l*f>l and wore the gray and of those who wore the blue enter as essential and as equal factors into the national life which now is. and in future is to he. Not more so I'uritau and Cavalier in England the offspring of Cromwell and Stratford's descendants With us, as with t hem, the individual exponents of either side became in t ime common property, and equally t lie glory of all. "So 1 am here this evening as I have said, a Massachusetts man as well asa meinlier of the Loyal Legion to do honor to the memory of him who was chief among those once set in array against us. _Of him, what shall 1 say? Essentially a solidier, as a soldier Hubert E. I.ce was a many-sided man. 1 might speak of him as a strategist: hut, of t his aspeet of the man, enough lias perhaps been said. 1 j in gilt refer to the respect, the confidence and love with which he inspired i those under his eommand. I might dilate on his restraint in victory: his t resource and,patient endurance in the face of adverse fortune: the serene nihility witli which he, in the end, triumphed over detent. I.ut, passing over all these well-worn themes. I i shall confine myself to t hat one at tribute of his which, recognized in a soldier by an opponent, I cannot but regard as his surest an I loftiest title to enduring fame. I refer to his i humanity in arms, and his scrupulous regard for t he most advanced rules of t civilized warfare. '*()n this point, two views I am well 1 aware have been taken from the he- i ginning, and still are advanced. < >n I the one side it iscontcnded that war- i fare should be st rict ly confined to com- t hatants, and its horrors and devasta tions brought within the narrowest 1 limits?that private property should Ik* < respected, and devastation and viol- t once limited to that necessary to over- I come armed opposition at the vital points of conflict. This by some. Hut, I on the other hand, it is insisted that < such a method of procedure is mere i k cruelty in disguise that war at IxJSt I is hell, and that true humanity lies in exaggerating that hell to such an s extent as to make It unendurable. Ify i 540 floint?r' is forc^(' to speedy end. i Q^hfS issue, J stand with Lee. More- ' the awful mati-I insist that the verdict of hi* j tory is dISt'hct. That war is hell at. 1 best, then make It hell indeed?that cry is not ordinal with us far from it, it echoes down the ages. Take Europe for example. Let me cite two in- i stances, separated by half a century, . and two names which have comedown to us loaded with execration and sunken deepin infanmy?the instances the repeated and complete devastat ion Of what was known as the Palatinate, once during the war of Thirty Years and against the order of Louis Fourteenth?the names Tilly and Melac. "You have heard of Tilly, and of the sack of Magdeburg. Tilly fully believed in making war hell-fast, furious and bloody. His orders were to kill and burn, burn and kill, and burn and kill again. He wanted no prisoners and none were made The more ms smxmiinates killed and the mo.e j they burned, the better he was j pleased. He wished the Palatine to bo made a howling wilderness. It is a familiar story a lamentation and an ancient tale of wrong; and you remember its outcome. Even today, as we read t he story of t hose horrors centuries gone we thrill with vindictive pleasure when the humane (iustavus Adolphus sprang into the arena,and bore down hell's advocate in hopeless defeat and irrevocable death. "Again, tifty years later, tlie same gospel of hell is proclaimed and enforced. Once more the Palatinate is devastated by sword and lire. War is hell then make it hell, indeed and have it over. They did make it hell but was it over? Was it shortened even? A French general, Melae by name, acting for Louis X 1 V, repeated Tilly's work; he could not improve it. He also believed that to carry on war, disguise it as we may, it is to be cruel. It is to kill and burn, burn and kill; and again kill and burn. The 'great monarch' desired him also to hear himself as to leave on the inhabitants of the Palatinate an impression that future generations would know he had been there. He did so bear himself. "What was the result? Ilell was indeed let loose; hut so was hate. Was the war made shorter? No: not by an hour. It was simply made needlessly bitter, brutal and barbarous. To this day the ruins of Heidelberg remain Me lac's monument. Uemcmlicrcd to lie cursed pilloried with Tilly his name is in the Palatinate household word. Six generations of men have since passed,and, today, with those of the seventh, Melae is a name there given to dogs. Many of you have doubt less stood, as have 1, on t he st ill shattered and crumbling battlements of Heidelberg, looking out over the peaceful valley of the Necker. and listening to its murmering How. Thirty years ago 1 was there, and 1 vividly recall a little incident strikingly illusi rat i\e of the exact opposite <>i uhat l am here today to say of Lee. A portrait of Melae hung in the gallery of t he castle. It hangs there now, or did so not more than a year or two ago; but when 1 saw it lirst, in 1*72, it bore in inoorint inn ? ? Lv? ,.L. uii .TV I I pv till inn i 11 j i IIII i nut 11 a* III of hate- Melac bad. in March, 1(180, blown np the castle, burned the town, and devastated the surrounding count ry given future generat ions to know lie had l>cen t here. A Frenchman, lie , made war hell to the German. Nearly two centuries later the turn of tiermany came. Then, in 1870, devastating France, they inflicted on the 1 French the misery and shame of Sedan: 1 they besieged andciplured Paris. Two 1 years afterwards, in 1*72, 1 read t his . inscription itr hd-ttM'sdrH^jo and?black ^ beneath the portrait of Melae at Heidelberg; * 1689. Vergolten. 1871.* They had indeed been given cause to reiiiem- ' ber: nor had they forgotten. The debt, ' 1 wo centuries old, bad been computed ' with interest; and payment exacted in < blood and flame. I "As an American as an ex-soldier of the Union as one who did his best in honest, even light, to destroy that fragment of the army of the Confederacy lo which lie found himself opposed I rejoice that no such hatred attaches to the name of Lee. Reckless of life lo attain the legitimate ends of war, lie sought to mitigate its horrors. Opposed to him at Gettysburg, I here, forty years later, do him jusi Ice. No more creditable order ever issued from a commanding general than that formulated and signed by Robert K. Lee as, at the close of June, 18t?;t, he advanced on a war of invasion. 'No greater disgrace,' lie then declared, 'can befall the army and through it our whole people, than the perpetration of barliarous outrages upon the innocent and defenseless. Such proceedings not only disgrace the perpetrators and all connected with them, but are subversive of the discipline and efficiency of the army, and dest met ive of t he ends of our movement. It must t>u remembered that we make war oniy on armed men.' Lee did not, t like Tilly and Melae,exhort his follow- \ ers to kill and burn, and burn and kill, and again kill and burn; to make war hell, lie did not proclaim that he wanted no prisoners, lie did not enjoin it upon his soldiers as a duty to 1 cause the people of Pennsylvania to ' remember they had been there. I v t hank heaven he did not. Heat least, u though a Confederate in arms,was still an American, and not a Tilly nor a v Melae. f "And here, as a soldier of the Army of the Potomac, let me t?ear my testimony to such of the Army of Northern v Virginia as may now he present. While war at best is bad, yet its neces- t. sary and unavoidable badness was not v in that campaign enhanced. In scope and spirit Lee's order was observed, j, and 1 i.oubt if a hostile force eve' ad- s vaneed in an enemy's country, or fell back from it in retreat, leaving behind ,. it less cause of hate and bitterness -1 than did the Army of Northern V'irginia in that memorable campaign a which culminated at Gettysburg. He- I L-ause he was a soldier. Lee did not > feel it incumlient upon him to pro- ^ I'laim himself a brute, or to exhort his .. followers to brutality. "1 have paid my tribute. One word !! more and I have done. Some six months ago, in a certain academic ad[|ress at Chicago, 1 called to mind tin.' o fact that a statue of Oliver Cromwell It now stood in t he yard of Parliament s House in Loudon, close to I hat histnr- f, ie hall of West minster, from thereof j, ?f which his severed head had once | II.OL-.MI .lot.-.. ?

Why should not his elligy, erect ; hi his charger and wearing the insig-1 pia of his < onfederate rank, gaze from j lis pedestal across the Potomac at the ' J* Virginia shore, and his once dearly j m oved tiome at Arlington?' lie, t(H>, is : M me of the precious possessions of what w san essential factor in the n:.tion s] hat now is. and is to lie. 'w " My suggest ion was met wit h an aniwer towhicli 1 would now make re-j ily. It was objected that such a pie-1 norial was to be provided from the!01 lational t reasury, and that Lee, edit- tl ated til West l'oint, holding for years e> he commission of the 1'nited States, is ifc?a?^ had borne arrtii against tbi nation. The rest I will not here repeat. The tiling was pronounced liupossible. "Now let me here explain myself. I A never supposed that Robert E. Lee's statue in Washington would l>e provided forty an appropriation from tlie national treasury. I did not wish it: 1 do not think it fitting. Indeed, I do ^ not rate high statutes erected by act ^ of congress, and paid foi by public money. They have small significance. Least of all would I suggest such a J; one in the case of Lee. Nor was it so fi with Cromwell. His effigy Is a private s gift, placed where it is by act of par- C liament. So, when the time is ripe, ? should it be with Lee, and the time will come. When it does come, the J etligy, assigned to its place merely by , act of congress, should bear some such inscription as this: "HOUKIIT KDWAIll) LBK, Erected l>y Contribution, 11 < M t lio.sc who I t Wearing the Itlue or Wearing the 1 Gray.

Wootls, of c Marion was elected associate justice of . tlic supreme court, and Wednesday night Mr. Win. Elliott, Jr., was elected code commissioner. There were in 1 all four ballots for associate justice and eight for code commissioner. Mr. 1 Woods'election was not a walkover as ills leading opponent, Col. Aldrich tie- l' vcloped considerably on the Una! bal- c lot. Mr. Elliott started into the bal- % luting for code commissioner with * strong support, but Mr. McClnrc's friends stuck to him and as the other candidates dropped out the race he- 1* came more and more interesting.

I f STEALING FROM THE FIELDS. 1 ill Surli (.'ani'ii Tvrucd Ovei to the MnKlatntten. On Thursday Senator Douglas' bill o make stealing from the Held a mater for Magistrates' Uourts was taken p in the House. Mr.(Lyles explained hat the chief purpose was to save armers trouble in goinlr to Court for ueh small thefts and the Magistrates' lourts could easily dispose of such pat ten; Mr. Laney explained that these uses went before the magistrates unil 1894 and It was by a mere overiglit that such eases were taken out I the jurisdiction nf tuagist rates. Mr. Tutnm and Mr. Dennis urged hat the negro thief who stole from he Held was not afraid of the Magisrates' Courts and a thirty-day sentnce, hut tliey were afraid of Waiting n jail until Court met and then reeivlng a long sentence. Mr. Moss, of Orangeburg, said the armcrs were willing to go to Court to ee that severe punishment was inlicted on those who stole from the ield. The Magistrates' Court is not utlieient protection. Mr. Lofton and Mr. DeVoreopposed lie hill and wanted the law left unihanged. Mr. Sarratt, of Cherokee, made a dear argument in favor of the hill. Mr. Forde said he was a farmer,hut le wanted less trouble in getting after he thieves from tiie field, and favord the hill. Mr. Wingo favored the bill as a natter of economy. Mr. Petirifoy urged that the producers wanted the hill. What was want(1 was quick punishment. The bill vas on the right line and ought to lass. "Mr. Hanks, of Newberry, favored he bill. lie had five bushels of corn tolen from his lield, hut did not other to take the thief to Court, but I the magistrate could have disposed f the case lie would have prosecuted he fellow. Mr. Jeremiah Smith opposed the iill because it reduced the punishacnt. His people wanted the protecion of a high punishment. Dr. black said the present law was good one and it was unwise to tinker ritli a good law. Mr. Pollock moved to indefinitely ostpone tiie bill. After an hour's discussion the House , cached a vote. Mr. Tatum asked for he yeas and nays, which resulted, by a to ."?!) in a refusal to kill the hill. , Mr. D. <). Herbert urged that it rould he a great mistake to pass this ill. It would lie unwise to make any hanges in the present law. The , eavier I lie punishment the greater lie avoidance of the crime. The hill , eks lo reduce the penalty from a ( mximum of live years to thirty days, i lie magistrates' jurisdiction. The i irisdiction of the magistrates cannot | e increased without a constitutional j mendment. His people thought a jvcrc punishment would deter the animitting of the crime. This change i unwise and unsafe. There was another call lor the yea ' nd nay vote, and again hy a vote of ; S to f)S the llouse refused to strike 1 ut the enacting words of the hill. The hill was amended so as to make lie punishment not less than the ex- i re me limit. The idea was to impose ( lie full thirty days or one hundred I ullurs' line, and give no discretion to I ic Magistrates'Court to reduce the 1 ne to less than the maximum of ' lirty days or one hundred dollars' j lie. i The hill was, after more than an ' our's consideration, ordered to its lird read inn* it provides that cases I'tln-ft from the field shall he tried v the magistrates and not in tiie ourt of Heneral Sessions, and under le hill as adopted the punishment is i he lived at thirty days or one hutircd dollars A utiick Lynch, Irish member of lie Hritish parliment, was found uilty of treason on Friday for aiding ie I'.oers in their war against Englnd and was sentenced to death.
