ADDRESS OF
JOHN CADWAIADER.
Hon. 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.

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

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

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

WAR ON IMF. 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

t which ox^y u coward or a bully will
J indulge iu lui the proportion is great.
! Thf 8 'ttHH' law and the moral
jt-tw alike should be invoked against
j t.h:s offense. Whenever any man
j becomes notorious for carrying coni
coaled weapons he should not only
J have to face ctotain and severe pun~

classes to r< lr-tin from this dangerous

ule persons are often guilty of it?
Respectability, instead of mitigating
this offense, should be held to
iaeren.se iis gravity.
It shoul d ceasp to be a ni'sdemcaoOr
f>r which no severer penalty than the
payment of a tine need bo expected.
Unless harsher measures are used
wo ne:d not expect this prevalent
cur*e abated very materially.
The concealed weapon habit is the
source of many erir.it-s and must be
treated with duo regard to its vicUtynmvss
and its j ossibilities for evil."
