John Cadyvnlader Delivers an Interesting Address to the I Daughters of the Confederf ucy at an Unveiling. There is nothing I can give your renders this week half fo interesting n* the address of lion. John Cadwaladcr, of Philadelphia, at the unveil iug on tho 2Jth ultimo of a Cenotaph erected by tho Daughters of the Confederacy, of Philadelphia, to the 221 Confederate soldiers buried in the cencteric* of that city. Tnis motiu.raent is erected on Gettysburg Hill in Hollywood cemetery in Richmond, Va., where the dust of 13,000 Confederate soldiers sleep. Our readers will remember that a protest was madj against erecting mis monument in the "City of Brotherly Love" and hence the Daughters of the Confederacy decided to put it at Richmond the capital of ihe late Confederate States, and a patriotic citizen of Philadelphia was selected as one of the speakers. Vox. Ilere is what Mr. Cadwalider said on that occaeiun: Daughters of the Confederacy and particularly Daughters of the General Dabney II. Maury Chapter: Ladies and Gentlemen,?I have accepted the invitation to appear before you today with some hesitation, I felt that the words to bo spoken on this occasion should be uttered with an eloquence to which I can makeno pretense. The chairman of the Monument Committee invited me as a representative of Philadelphia, where lie the heroic dead whose v memories arc Jo be kept alive by this "..^perishable granite before ns. It seemed to me to be a call that ono should not refuse. Seven generations of my family havo lived in that laud which bears the name of "Peun the Apostle," on the spot where ''Stands on the banks of its beautiful atream the city be founded," and where "The streets re-echo tho names of the trees of the forest;" and therefore as such a representative the selection may be justified. My heart, moreover, responded mo6t warmly to the request, and I am sure I trulv represent the aentimenta of I tr i ~ "" a vast number of the people of Philadelphia and the Northern States generally in uniting with you in thus honoring the memory of those who died for a cause as dearly loved, and as valiantly fuught for as any recorded in history. My friends, this occasion brings with it a flood of memories of events that most of you consider as passed into history, but to those wlyo lived through thorn are as clear and dis^ tinct as if they had happened yesterday. Instinctively my reflections go back a few years before the struggle that began on April 12, 1801. I was a young lad deeply interested in the institutions and government of the country, when I went to the city of Washington with iny lather, who was in Congress. It was during the administration of General Pierce. The President, as some of you may remember, lost his only son just after his election. Mrs. Pierce imagined . * i ? mat i Doro a rcscmoianco to that son and liked to havo mo at tho White House. KNEW DAVIS WELL. In this way I met familiarly many of those then in official life. The Cabinet of tho President was composed of groat statesmon?Marcy was in tho State Department, Guthrie in the Treasury, Caleb Gushing Attorney-General and Jefferson Davis in tho War Department?all of them were great men; but possibly at that time, bocauso tho military idoa was strong in mo, the last named attracted mo the most. I can recall the kindly manner of Mr. Davis and kis permission to me to visit the War Department whenever I cared to do so, and I was often in his private office. A few years later he it was^on whom my young enthusiasm centered for the nomination for tho presidency at the ill fated Charleston Convention. At this same time it was my happy privilege to be quite often at that i.boautitul home on the banks of the Potomac whero the adopted son of Washington still lived. George Washington l'arkc (Just 13 seemed to eqjoy the society of tho young, and he would tako mo through the boxWkLi._ .. J j Ledgcd gardens and tell me ubout l:i? boyhood days. But Arlington was then tin hmie of another whose name is one indeed to conjure with. It is idle for the vain-glorious boasters to shout of treason, rebellion and traitors. A great war was waged. There was heroism of the noblest kind on both sides, and names to be revered for high virtues, as we'd from the North as from the South, hut I believe that a great majority of tho^e living today Jr. t!.-. ' " ' ... Ligati ounru oia^cs regard itooert E. Lee as the one man who came through that fearful struggle, oithet from the North r.r from the South, with a record beyond cavil or criiicbrn. Heroic and magnificent in success, he was, possibly, oven nobler in ad" versify. lu his walks in those gardens of Arlington he must have imbibed tbe spirit of the great Washington, f?r tiis character bears so I close a comparison with that of the "Father of his Country" that it seems to have been formed under kindred influences. My friends, I come before you as a Northern man. In the great conflict between the Confederacy and the Northern (States my State was opposed to you, and all true citizens of Pennsylvania were loyal to the cause it supported. The great questions had failed of peaceful solution, and one of tho sevtrest wars of any era of the world had to be fought to a conclusion. LEU WAS RIGHT. When Robert E. Lee before the Virginia Convention said: 4'I will devote myself to the defense and Hf-rviop ftf nw v>ntitr? stt.if/. - ? ? v. ?.J "WV4IV J 111 niiuau behalf alone would I have ever drawn my sword," he defined clearly the obligation of a citizen to throw his fortuues with bis Stale. Here and there men saw their duties in a different iighr, and no one should criticise harshly an officer of the old army who held difl'eren! views. Their position was complicated by their environment; their training made them less independent in thought, as well as action, and undoubtedly the decision of George II. Thomas to adhere to the North was as truly the act of an honorable man as tho. course of Robert E. Lee. When, acting in its sovereign capacity, a State withdrew from the Union, whether 6uch action was a cause for war or not, and in my opinion it was certainly the right of the States remaining in the Union to so decide, the citizen of such a State was by that withdrawal carried with it. It is iuspoesiblo to conceive of an exclusive allegiance to a government which guarantees none of the natural rights of its citizens. Of course, under the Federal Constitution, so long as a State is included in the Union, there are duties of citizenship to both the State and the United States, but they are distinct. To his State alone can a citizen appeal to secure him in his home, his domestic relations and his rights of property. Nor can he divest himself of his obligation to servo his State in the protection of its rights from invasion, from riot or general obedience to its laws. The subject is too large to enter upon here, but it was an unreasonable view to assert j that any onefuiled in his loyalty who clung to his state on either side, under the conditions which arose in 1801. It is probable that our form of government is too complicated for the uninstructed citizens to comprehend, and certainly few untrained in the law cau define the radical difference between the powers of a State Legislature and those of Congress. The Constitution of tko Uuited Statc3. as originally framed, was a marvelous creation, and to my mind, if strictly followed, would havo met every contingency that has arisen, llut from the first, beginning with the insidious efforts of Alexander Hamilton under his doctrine of "itn plied powers, a process of distortiou of the meaning of its plain language and a subversion of its safeguards had been pursued. The States forming the Confederacy, believing that their rights and interests were no longer protected under the con* struction of the powers of tho gen* eral government, which had pre* vailed, through tho eectional preponderance of the North and West, made a herioc effort against tremendous odds to maintain their right t) separate front the Union. AS TIIE WAR WAS FOUUIIT. It was early in the struggle that they secured toe recognition of belligerent*, and in the main the war was fought on lines consistent with the rules of civilized countries. Unfortunately from the first a difficulty as to prisoners arose, and Inter when the use of negro troops in the North was adopted, the question became too dilfieult to be settled. The sufferings that were endured by prisoners on both sides while those ? ?1; J ijiico'u'u3 nvie msaussen, can never be justified. Undoubtedly the difficulties in the way of exchanging prisoners Arerc created by the North, and gave color to the charge that thoro was no desire to secure the return of Northern prisoners from the South, as it involved the return of Southern men to their army. Tn fact, General Grant in a letter to General Jiutler expressly so stated. War is inseparable from horrors. Civilized warfare is indeed a contradiction in terms, but taken as a whole, perhaps, the war itself was as free from extreme barbarity as could have been hoped for. If the honor and honesty which dictated the terms offered by General Grant and with such magnificent moral courage, accepted by General Lee at Appomattox had been recognized throughout the North, possibly with all its evils, many blessings might Lave come to both sections as the war's direct results. Without the sequel the names of Grant and Lee might, for all time have been linked together by the j whole people of the reunited States in ever grateful rnemoiy. The noble purpose of General Lee in putting an end to bloodshed by laving down his arras instead of scat tering army to wage a desultory vurfire, should have allayed all t-iifernes8 of feeling and helping hands should have been expended to the desolated South. The wise and generous policy of General Grant in allowing the Southern priwa*e soldiers to keep their horses to do their spring plowing, should have beeu followed everywhere. Sad and bitter as seemed the end to these who had struggled so nobly for their cause, little did they dream that their suffering had scarcely begun. They could not have believed that the victors who appeared so generous in the field would have followed in such courses that thirty years later the true history has to he written in 'Led Lock" and in "Leopard Spots." It is a happy augury for the future, when from the lips of such a distinguished son of Massachusetts as Charles Francis Adams has fallen the highest praise of Hubert E. Lee. SOUTHERN IICHO'S EXAMPLE. It would indeed have been a happy fate fur the country if the example of the Southern hero, after Appomattox, which has secured for him for ail time a recognition that makes hira only second in war, second in peace, and second in the hearts of | his countrymen, had been followed j by the North and its commander. | It is difficult to speak with calmness and moderation of the scenes enacted in the decade following 1805. No appeals could check the wild orgy into which the controlling powers in the North had rushed. A South, so plundered that all the rnins of the war appeared as nothing; a North, seeking with corruption until the records of credit raobilicr frauds, and black Friday tumults made tho people doubt tbe integrity of all. The terrible scourge of so called reconstruction, as directed by the distorted brain of Thaddeus Steven*, and the iniquities of the ."Freedmen's Bureau," aroused not only the South, but the North itself. Even those apostles of the cause who produced the war?Greoley, Chase, Julian, the war Governors Andrew, of Massachusetts, and Cui tin, of Ponnoylvaiiia, awl nt my others?rebelled against the acions of their old political associate*. Few governments have survived such evil influence* *s culminated in the great erimo of 1876, when even the will of the people, overwhelmingly asserted at the poll <, was ruthlessly disregarded, The sad story is now, I hope, neAring its end. Slowly, but surely, the truth is beicg recognised and public sentiment, is approving tho Assertion of their powers by tho sev( eral States over their domestic concern|. I am consc'ous that I have touched upon much that is full of controvor % sial feeling, but toe day lias coo-e when justice should bo (lone to those v.hose views have been condemned by popular clamor with no foundation of reason. To treat a contest between the people of two great sections of a continent as au internal uprising or rcj volt against constituted authority is , nor only puerile, but grossly wrong. The bo?ie?tV of k~?u -- Vv/*< KVUVUO V/tl IM/I&i I sides shoui.l be admitted and the legitimate result4* of the struggle i should alone he recognized. WOMEN OF TIIE SOUTH, I feel no sympathy with those who would deny a place for this monument on "Northern soil over the graves of the men whoso ruomo>y it records. I have cocao here to unito with you iu admiration for the noble women of the South, who have borne their sufferings and their trials with such unfailing fortitude, and who have sustained with an undaunted courage their husbands and tons, their fathers and brothers, in their struggles and vicissitudes, not only during the war itself, but in the long years of adversity that have followed it. My friends, as I stand with you anil look upon this rugged stone placed hv their tender hands as a typical memorial < f the hard fate of those whose tacrilicea were in vain, and to whom victory was denied, I can truly say, I b lievc none more worthy of imperishable f?mo ever died fur their countrv than the men of the South, from 1601 to lSOo. They lie on many a battlelield, in church yards, and iu single graves.

PISTOL. Other States Beginning to Fail iv l<ine to Stamp Out the Pistol Tatar?A Strong Editorial \ From the Atlanta fotlruui DOWN Tim PISTOL * AND SA VE THE NATION. We clip the fallowing from the Atlanta Journal regarding the pistol toting habit which is pertinent and to the point. It is true that a healthy sentiment has at last been aroused against this evil, and the effect of our new law is very encour aging results so far. Let the good work go on atnl hundreds of lives will b$ saved. There are in many parts of Goorgia evidences of a rising determination to suppress the vicious habit of carrying concealed weapons. Wc have observed recently that superior court judges in their charges to grand juries have laid great stress upon the necessity of a strict cnlorccmcnt of the law on thia subject ami ihc fact that such an cnfcreinent ia imposslible unless grand juries do their duty. Up to a somewhat recent date the carrying of pistols and other concealed weapons was regarded by the average citizen as a comparatively trivial ofTense and there was little d'spostioo, either to find indictments on this account or to press them when found. l>ut there has been a wonderful and a most wholesome change in public opinion relative to the concealed weapon habit. Grand jurors have begun to realize their duty in the mat'er and are doing it in a manner that con trasts finely with their former indifference. The other officers of the law generally have moved forward quite as notably in an organized and systematic effort to?elimin*tc the loaded -pistol pocket. Judge of supeiior, county and city courts, solicitors general and local police officers have joined threes and are co-operating to make that law a terror to the '"pistol toter" and all other hearers of concealed weapons. It was high time that this reform should begin and it should he carried on until in every county of Georgia any man whoso nature or habit would impel him to log ? pistol rrith him whorver ho goes will he afrui?l to do so. It goe3 without saying that the habitual ''pistol toter" w a bad citizen, as he persistently violates and defies the law. Such a fellow ahould be raado scacre in every community that is cursed by his presence. There is no 1 telling how much of the violouco and , (' ?_ 1"?" ^ ? - - - ?

Thf 8 'ttHH' law and the moral jt-tw alike should be invoked against j t.h:s offense.

Respectability, instead of mitigating this offense, should be held to iaeren.se iis gravity.

Unless harsher measures are used wo ne:d not expect this prevalent cur*e abated very materially.

People are gathering up the last remnant of cotton, and potato digging has boen the order of the day for the past week and a good yield has been made. The farmers have had a delightful full for gathering up their crops and they have put in good time. This writer made the second crop of cane. The cane seed was planted tho first of April and both crops S seeded out and tiio last was as good I as tho first crop. The fanners continue to sow wheat which is what they fhouM do. Some have sowed wheat for their stock in. stead of oats as the oat crop has been so unccr.uin for the last few years.
