Southern Historical Society, Richmond, January 25, 1876. editors dispatch: We have in our Archives the following official document, which completely refutes Mr. Blaine's statement that Gen. Grant told him. that he fought at Chattanooga Gen. Carter Stevenson's division, which had been captured at Vicksburg, and had not been excd, and are hereby so declared. Ro. Ould, Aqent of Exchangce. Richmond, September 12, 1863. By order: S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector-General. And if Mr. Blaine will not receive rebel authority, then the following is submitted: On page 74 of General Boynton's book (Sherman's Historical raid) the following telegram fwith the exchanged prisoners from Vicksburg and Port Hudson, are concentrating against Rosecrans. You must give him all the aid you can. [Italics ours.] Either Mr. Blaine is mistaken, therefore, in giving General Grant as his authority for saying that these high-toned gentlemen and gallant soldiers violated their paroles, or else

and had suggested something, but his language, elsewhere so violent, was guarded when he came to tell what this was. A sub-committee laid the evidence, which the Senate was not to be allowed to see, before the President and his cabinet, and left it pretty much to them, in Mr. Wade's words. The resolution was supported by Mr. Sumner, and was passed against the opposition of the committee. Nine days later the President declined to lay the evidence before the Senate in a message, which, as Mr. Blaine points out, bears marks of having been written in the War Office; but the fact that the information withhe ld consisted of the evidence taken by its own committee was not revealed to the Senate. Mr. Stanton's order for Stone's arrest was issued on the 28th of January. It was not executed until the morning of the 9th of February. What happened in the interval has never been told. It is soon done. General McClellan asked that General Stone might be heard in his defense. The committee

urposes, as a part of the said Constitution, namely: Article XIII: section 1. Neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

e exhausted. The bill as amended was then passed — yeas, twenty-four; nays, seven. In the House, on the twenty-first of June, Mr. Schenck, from the Military Committee, reported a bill to further regulate and provide for enrolling and calling out the national forces. Mr Randall, of Pennsylvania, objected to its second reading. On the question, should the bill be rejected, the yeas were seventy-five, and the nays were seventy-five; the Speaker voted nay, and the bill was not rejected. Mr. Blaine, of Maine, moved to strike out the two first sections, providing that no payment of money should be accepted by the Government to release any drafted person from the performance of military duty, and that no substitute should be accepted for a drafted person, unless he be the father, brother, or son of the drafted man. The question, after debate, was taken on the motion striking out the first section; and it was agreed to — yeas, one hundred; nays, fifty. The second section was then stric

This speech was delivered in the House of Representatives on April 28, 1874. Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts had died March 11, 1874, and the House followed the Senate in paying respect to his memory by suspending business. Lucius Q. C. Lamar, Congressman from Mississippi, was invited by the Massachusetts delegation to second the resolution. Only a perfunctory performance was expected, but as Lamar proceeded the stillness of the House and galleries became almost oppressive. Speaker Blaine sat motionless with tears running down his cheeks. Opponents in many a hot debate, Democrats and Republicans alike, were melted to tears. When he closed, all seemed to hold their breath, as if to prolong the spell; then a burst of hearty and sympathetic applause broke from all over the House and the galleries, such as had not been heard since the war. Of all the speeches delivered in both houses Lamar's alone was sent to all parts of the country by telegraph. The text here followed wa

that they had run riot over both facts and probabilities, were repeated on the floor of the House of Representatives by Mr. Blaine, who charged that Mr. Davis was the author, knowingly, deliberately, guiltily and wilfully, of the gigantic murder and not have introduced the treatment of Confederates in Northern prisons at all, in this discussion, but for the fact that Mr. Blaine (to whom we were replying) threw down the gauntlet, and declared that there was no cruel treatment of Confederate priso of Secretary Stanton and Surgeon-General Barnes, which were thus presented by Hon. B. H. Hill in his masterly reply to Mr. Blaine: Now, will the gentleman believe testimony from the dead? The Bible says, The tree is known by its fruits. And, arging that Jeff. Davis manufactured them for Ben. Hill's use ; but all such attempts have proven ludicrous failures. Mr. Blaine, with full time to prepare his reply and all of the reports at hand, did not dare to deny their authenticity, but only

of selections for reading and oratory. By John G. James, Superintendent Texas Military Institute. New York, Chicago and New Orleans: A. S. Barnes & Co. We are indebted to the publishers for a copy of this book, and, despite. the edict of Senator Blaine (one of the heroic gentlemen who were invisible in war and are now invincible in peace ), we most cordially commend it. to our schools and families. It is emphatically a Southern book, designed for Southern youth, and made of selections fre world ever saw. Yet on the other hand, it teaches a full acceptance of the situation and of all the logical results of the war, and that henceforth the people of the South must meet all of their obligations as citizens of our common country. Mr. Blaine interprets loyalty to the Union to mean obedience to the behests of the ultra wing of the Republican party. The whole spirit of the selections of this book teaches obedience to the constitution and laws of the land. If we find here and ther

description, such as, it is claimed, the Andersonville and other Federal prisoners endured. 4. Professor Richardson makes an adroit attempt to relieve his government from the unanswerable argument derived from the figures of Secretary Stanton and Surgeon-General Barnes, showing that of 220,000 Confederates in northern prisons 26,436 died, while out of 270,000 Federal prisoners in Confederate hands, only 22,576 died. His effort is more ingenious, and more creditable, than that of either Mr. Blaine or the Nation to which we have replied; but we propose, at our earliest liesure, to take up in detail this whole question of relative mortality, and to show that although these figures (compiled by Federal not Confederate officials), may not be fully accurate in every particular, yet if they fail at all it is in not representing the matter as favorably to the Confederates as the facts warrant. 5. Professor Richardson candidly admits that a review of the whole case makes it certain that

n behalf of Cleveland, speaking on successive nights in many different towns. University Club, October 30, 1884 . . New York is fairly seething; every day there is some demonstration; first the business men's processions for Cleveland and Blaine respectively; then the review of troops before Cleveland; then a great dinner to Blaine at Delmonico's; to-day an open-air meeting in Wall Street; Saturday another business men's procession for Cleveland.
