TRUTH ABOUT GRANT~
A Sentimental Story That io Not 8UB<
* tained by Faots.
Tho following timely artiolo is a oom?
munioation rooontly publishod in tho
Atlanta Constitution:
Klitor Constitution: Not long ago
you "ioproduood by permission from
tho iNcw York World's Sunday Maga
zine" an artiolo by Mrs. Jofforson
Davis on "Tho Humanity of Grant.,"
Mrs. Davis has oortainly donondod
upon imagination and hearsay in thia
ouology on Grant. Speaking of tho
sword story of Appomattox, she say:
"GOBoral Grant did not koop it as. a
trophy, but respectfully roturnod it to
tho hand whioh had made its farno as
deathless as that of Excalibur." In
Grant's Momoiro, volumo 2. pago 494,
ho Bays: "Th?^niuoh talked of aur
rondoring of; Loo s sword and my hand?
iog it baok, this and muoh moro that
has boon said, about it is tho purest
romMioo." ' It was puro romanoo about
Grant roooivlng tho sword, and it fol
lows that it was not ''rospeotfully ro
turnod."
In his momoirs; Gon. Grant says that
Gen. Loo told him that in tho Oonfod
orato army tho oavalrymon and artil
lerists ownod their own horsos. Gon.
Grant was of opinion that tho war was
about ondod; that most of the Confed
erates woro email farmors and would
not bo able to mako a prop without
"tho aid of tho horsos thoy woro thon
riding." Ho s ?id to Gon. Loo about
tho horsos: "Tho United States did not
want thom, and I would, thoroforo, in
struct tho oftioora I left bohind to ro
ooivo tho parolos of his troops to lot
ovory man of tbo Confederate army
who olaimod to own a horno or mulo
to tako tho animal to his homo." From
thia it will bo soon that Gon. Grant, ao
oording to his own. sfatomont,. was in*
fluonoed by two faots in allowing tho
Confederates to retain their horsos to
wit: Tho horses woro tho privato prop
erty of tho soldiers, and "tho United
S tal os did not, want them," This moans
that tho horsos would have boon takon
if thoy had bolongod to tho Confed?r
alo States, or thoy would hayo boon
takon anyway if tho United Ht at os had
wanted thom.
This horso story has boon told so
el ton that no doubt s om o poisons bo
liovo that Gon. Grant sont Gen. Loo's
soldiers homo, on horseback, but that is
not tho oft"": When tho surrender
oamo Gon. Loo had only 7,892 infantry
with arms in their hands.
* Boforo tho pay roles were mado out
stragglers onough oamo up to run tho
numbor up to about 25,000. Of thoso
about 5,000 woro oavalry and artillory.
Thon at least 20,000 mon had to walk
homo, and woro not bonefioiarios of
Grant's magnanimity. Tho mon who
did rido homo woro allowed to keep
thoir horsos only until thoy got in good
condition. Thon troasury agontc
swarmod through tho country and oar
ried off ovory horso that had tho brand
U. S. or C. S. on it. But this did nol
satisfy thom, for thoy took away evorj
horse that some trifling nogro would
say had boon in tho army.
Whon it comos to magnanimoui
troatmont of Confedoratos, Grant is no
to bo dossed, with Shorman. Gon
Bonjamin F. Buller states that thor*
Was an agroomoat between Shorman ao<
his loading pflicora.to pr?vido a ship a
Charleston for tho osoapo from tin
country of doff orson Davis and suol
of his ?abinot and othors as ohoso ti
go with him.
It is a faot that Shorman propose
vto allow tho moa of Johnston's arm;
who suirondorod at GroonBboro to tak
their guns and go homo as if no wo
had takon plaoa. Ho said ho woul
evor^o^oWiulo'.
Mrs. Davis should write no mor
suoh attiolos for nowspapors until sh
ia euro of hor foots.

David Hod from hio pursuers. Tho
world runo vory feat whon it ia ohasing
a good man. Tho oountry ia trying to
eaton David and to Blay him. David
goos into tho houso of a priest and asks
him for a sword or spear with whioh to
dofond himsolf. Tho prioBt, not hoing
aoouatomod tb uso doadly weapons, tells
David that ho oannot supplv him, but
suddenly tho priest thinks of an old
sword that had boon oarofully wrappoo
up and laid away-tho vory sword that
Goliath formorly usod-abd ho takes
down that sword, and whilo ho is un

able blad it flasbod upon David's mind
that this is tho vory sword that was
usod against himsolf whon ho waa in
tho fight with Goliath, aud David oan
hardly koop hia hand off it until tho
prioat haa unwound it. David atrotobos
out bin hand toward that old aword and
aaye, "Thoro ia nono liko that, givo it

Worldly philosophy said: "Mattor is
otornal. Tho world always >was. God
did not mako it." Christian philosophy
plunges its orowbar into rooks and finds
that tho world was gradually mado, and
if gradually mado thoro must havo boon
Bomo point at whioh tho proooas atariod.
Tuon who startod it? And ao that ob
jection was o vor co we, and in tho first
throe words of tho Biblo wo find that
Moue? statod a magnificent truth whon
ho said, "In tho beginning."
Worldly philosophy said: "Your
Biblo is a moat inaoourato book. All
that Btory in tho Old Tostamont, again
and again told, about tho anny of tho
loousts-it ia preposterous. Theio ia
nothing in tho coming of tho loouets
liko an army. Au army walka, loousta
Hy. An army goos in ordor and
proooBsion, luouats without order."
"Wait," said Christian philosophy, and
in 18G8 in tho southwestern
part of this oountry Christian mon wont
out to oxamino tho maioh of tho loousta.
Thoro aro mon tight boforo mo who
must havo noticed in that very part of
tho country tho coming up of tho
loousta Uko an army, and it was found
that all tho nowapnpors unwittingly
apoko of thom as an army. Why? Thoy
seora to havo a oummandor. Thoy march
iil?o a host. The halt Uko a host. No
arrow o vor wont in straighter Hight than
tho loousts oomo, not ovon turning
asido for tho wind. If tho wind risos,
tho loousts drop and thon riso again
aftor it has gono down, taking tho samo
lino of march, not varying a foot. Tho
old Biblo ic right ovory timo when it
spoaks of loouBts coming liko an army;
worldly philosophy wrong.
Worldly philosophy aaid, "All that
story about tho light 4turnod aa olay to
the sear ia simply an absurdity." Old
timo wordly philosophy Bald, "Tho
light cornea straight." Christian phi
losophy says, "Wait a littlo whiny'
and it goos on and makes disoovoriqa
and finds that tho atmosphere ourvos
and bonds tho rays of light around tho
oarth, litoral ly "as tho olay to tho soal."
Tho Bibl? right again; worldly phi
losophy wrong again. ?'Ah,p says
worldly philosophy, "all that allusion in
Joh about tho foundations of tho oarth
ls simply an absurdity. 'Whore wast

tran?latod "sookots." So now soo how

"Wboro wast thou whon I sot . tho

Worldly philosophy said : ''What an
absurd story about Joshua makiog tho

has Stopped an inp tant, tho wholo uni

"Stop," said Christian philosophy;
"not quito so quiok." Tho world has

and tho o thor around tho ?un. It Was
not neaossary in making thom Stand

God tight; infidelity wrong overy timo.
1 'know it would bo wrong. I thank
God that tho timo has oomo whon
Christians nood not bo soarod at any
Eoientifio oxploration. Tho faot is that
religion and soionoo havo struok hands

Christ havo stormed tho observatories

from tho observatories at Albany and
Washington strotohes out its hand to

So 1 romaik it is with businoss aou

tho most part had no so?tal pjBition.
Thora was but ono man naturally bril

Now that is all ohanged. ' Among tho

Now,- if .whatHl havo said bo ivtto, 1
away with downheartedness! If Hoionco

in Indianapolis. His friends an
nounce that he has received as
surances of protection and lias
dotormined'to mako indiana his

port News Herald, an ably eon

eave "this is a notable ease*er

able and orderly jj?oplo, having
enjoyed all tho rights and privi
leges of statehood under a' con
stitution andoxeroisingaHof thc f.
forms of law for over a century,
could bo guilty of so foul a crime
as that of tho assassination ot',
a rival candidate and then a legal
contestant for the gubernatorial
office. But that is the self in
criminating attitude of formor
Govornor Taylor. Goobel wtiS'ji
murdered and not only did Tay
lor, who occupied the place of
chief executive afc tho time,
mako no oit'orfc to along? the
crime, but he potectcd thosp .wh'? .
woro.accused of committing it.
When they and he wore indicted
they all fled.
"Taylor has not returned. He
refuses to submit to trial, to on
ter the jurisdiction of tho State . ,v
courts and has boon protected
from extradiction by the Go ver-;
nor of Indiana, who has refused
to honor tho requisition of Ken
tucky. Somo of his 'friends have
been convicted and sent to tho
penitentiary, sumo of thom be
came witnesses for the State and
have beon released, while others
with Taylor, aro still fugitives.
Meantime although former go^&p*

safely in the bounds of Indiana,
protected by tho refusal of tho
Govornor of that ?State to honor '
a requisition for a man charged
with complicity with a murder
he would not buy property there ?

"lt'isstated,now,that tho as- v

and he has invested $9,?0?ih it

Tho inevitable conclusion is that
Mr. Taylor is guilty, at least, of
complicity with the murder of
Goobel. He is indicted forthat
and thero was testimony at the
