Vindication of President Davis'I
Character Beginning to Find its I "
Way to Public Press.
1
It's a wearv stietch cf lane that has
no turning, but that sooner or later, in
support of the ancient adage, it will de- *
ll^ct, would seem to be in con trover table, <
since now at the long last the vindication 0
of even President Jefferson Davis' char- a'
acter is beginning to And its way into
the public press. **
In the March Pilgrim there is an an a
article by T<andon Knight entitled "The ^
True Jtlfeison Davis" that we trust
will prove the entering wedge in this ^
n spect. But whether it does or not, it ^
is at least something that northern readersa'egiven
a chance by one of their ?
own magazines to learn the truth about 3'
a man who has been so maligned. The w
following from the article in qups'ion
will give an idea of its s-cope and tone: 0
" The people of Texas, learning of
Mr. Davis' losses, efftred to give him IX
an extensive sbekfarm in that state, a
but this he also refused. Upon the Gulf c
of Mexico at the little station of Bean, n
voir, Mr. Davis owned a tract of land n
which lie conceived would support his t
family, and time, far from the strife g
of the busy world, he resolved to spend b
the declining yeats of his life. IIow- s
ever, retirement at best could only be p
partial, for u man loved and venerat?d b
as Mr. Davis throughout the South, at d b
Beauvoir accordingly became the shrit e a
of the public men who sought the counsel t
of its stge. But with the modesty a
characteristic of the man he refused to f
advise anyone upon measures of national c
import, since by the action of congress v
he was forever disfranchised. He would s
not ask pardon, sincerely believing that I
he bad done no wrong, and when the n
p.ople of Mississippi would have elected ?
him to the United Stater senate he de- I
clined the honor in words which thou'd ^
be pertutd by all who know the man as t
he Wits, during this period of his life: \
The franchise is yours here, and con- 1
gross can but refuse your admission and 1
your exolusion will be a test question,' ?
rau the invitation, to which Mr. Davis (
replied: "I remained in prison two 1
yeais and hoped iu vain for a trial, ai.d '
| now scents of insult and violence, pre- >
ducing alienation between the sections, i
would be the only result of another test. <
I am too old to serve you as I once did 1
and too enfeebled by suffering to main? I
tain your cause.' Any word that, might :
serve to still further increase that alienation
never passed the lips of the gentle,
kind
l>eople, preferred to all honors the qi
life amoug the pints, where amidst nisi t
flowers he played with his children and'aga
their little lrieuds, aud far 4uto the
night, surrounded by his books, he wei
woiked asid .ously upon his only defense,
'The Uise and Fall of the Confederate
states of America.' The concluding 'j
paragraph of that book, written in the me
gray dawn of a summer morning after a pj
night ofV pntinuous labor, should l>e an(
read by everyone who would understand pii
the motives that actuated Jefferson the
Davis in the great part that he played in 4ii(
the.world's history. Co

LN OLD FRIEND OF
THE TIMES.
Ipeaks a Good Word.?Says Uncle
Billie I.ogan Tells the Truth*
'o tlie d?n < Id Times:
I wpII remember you in your infancy4
'hen you were nursed by a long toed
jllow by the name of McNiglit, who
ften got his tea mixed with your ink,
ad sent you out much obliterated, but
re people knew you had a good backone
with plenty of good stutllng, and
lade no complaints concerning the ebteration
In the darkest days of our
iatory, when the old state was seemingr
hard up to know what to do for the
est, our leading state papers advocated
irsion with tha enemy, but to the crfdit,
f the dear "old TntKS, who stood for
aaight democracy, by which the State
ras saved. Long may you live to fight
lie battles of your people, and lead them
n to more progressive field.
In your last week's issue, you gave us
letter from Uncle Billie Logan, which
ermon states the unhappy affairs that
an be seen from every hill. Josh, in
napping out his plans to Uncle Billie.
nust have caught on to racket, out at,
list Bridge. I t his reference to money
atesand imirerfect piers we have surey
had them tlr'ra. You remember last
ummer that a pile of rubbish or au imerfect
pier gave to the waters a costly
iridge The wise would have profited
iv tlris costly experience, but rumor says
nother imperfect pier was ene'ed for
lie second costly bridge that had to Ire
tinexed to prevent the impeifect pier
rom giving to the waters the second
nstly bridge. Our J otlic:a's were
yise in adopting "the steel bridges for our
treams. But with impeifect. piers it is
ike a cow that gives a full bucket of
nilk and kicks it all over In lha
rection of piers a civil.engineer shou'd
re employed to direct their construction.
Vt this late date it wool 1 not be unwise
o employ an engineer to inspect the
riers that those costly bridges rest 011.
;f Imperfeet piers are found let. the
rr'nlces Ire jacked ud and stable piers
srected, which will close the money
piles that Josh referred to and no complaints
will be heard from the tax payers
regarding the cost. Much lias been said
rbout good roads. We will never h ive
any bet tor roads until we are aided by a
sivil engineer to supervise same. Talit
