ROBERT TOOMBS. His Views on the Men and Measures of the Con- federacy. A Characteristic and Merciless Oriticism of Jeff Davis and His Book. ‘The Southern Generals Why Mr. Toombs is Still Unre- construoted. Correspondenice of the Philadelphia Pross, Wasnixeron, Ga.,, June 27,—This is a charming little place of about 2,- 000 inhabitants, situated in the midst of a fertile country eivhteen miles from the Georgia railroad running from Augusta to Atlanta, It was founded in 1775 by the father of Gen- eral Robert Toombs, and was the first town in America to bear Washington's name. It is the spot where the confed- eracy collapsed and where the last conference between Jeff Davis and his cahinet took place, when the flight be- gan. A part of the confederate gold was thrown into Toombs' door-yard and by his orders taken away and di- vided among General Joe Johnston’s soldiers. o faras Georgia is con- cerned this is the place where seces- mion was born. t came from the brains and cloquence of the one man who still lives here and persists in adherence to principles which the war settled. The stories that are told of the last days of the confederacy here are nu- merous and marvelous. A photograph of Jeff Davis and his cabinet when the decision was reached that they must abandon their people and cause and flee the country would, if reports are true, make a far greater sensation, and be as great an addition to the his- tory of the war, and nearly as great a financial success, as The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, by the man who hurriedly left this beauti- ful little southern town in the spring of 1865, and nine daysafterward,some hundred miles to the south of this, was overtaken by the federal troops and secured. ‘Washington is an interesting place, not more for the reminiscences of the late conflict which can be gathered here, than for the present contribu- tion to its war history which can be heard whero it actually ended. THE HOME OF GRNERAL TOOMBS, tho first secretary of the state in Mr. Davis’ cabinet, is here, Ho resides on s charming estate of 320 acres, in an old-fashioned house built a hun- dred years ago in a yard filled with orifiml oaks of dignified pretensions, which still stand like guards about the ancestral home, Toombs' ancestors ‘'were English, descendants of the best Saxon stock. His mother was a Miss Hughlin, from Juniata county, Penn. sylvania, and noted as the brightest and most beautiful of women, His father was a revolutionary’ soldier, and obtained the land upon which Toombs now lives as a t from the governor of Georgia in those early times, and it has never been sold. Its present gmpr{emr prides himself upon the old place, the home of his ancestors, and weFoomal hisvisitors with a prince- ly hospitality and unexcelled gentility. t is his boast that a hotel cannot live in Washington. ' He says: ‘‘A gen- tleman ablo to .Sny his bill and fit for a companion is always welcomed at his house, and thereforo a good hotel is uselesr.” His wife, who was a Miss DuBois of Bouth Carolinia, a Huguenot de- scendant, is still living, and vies with her husband in lavish hospitality, and the kindly welcome a stranger is sure to receive at the Toombs’ mansion. She is even a beauty at seventy. ‘Wae have boen fifty years married,” said General Toombs to me to-das, “‘and haye celebrated our golden wed- ding here in this beautiful town and in this charming old home. My wife has traveled with' me all over the world, to every land where civiliza- tion has yet planted its feet.” General Toombs has the reputation of being a bluff, blunt and, by some, & wvindictive man, but T read underneath all the npfmrent rudeness good, gener- ous impulsos and great mental force. ROBERT THE LAST DITCH, “‘Washington was where the Con- federacy died, I believe,” said to-day as T'was chatting with this interest- ing man upon the war and its re- aults, ““Yes, thid' was the place where it finally gave official notice to the world that it was dead. The Confederac died when Richmond was evaguated. The conflict ended even before Lee surrendefed. It is a wonder that it lived as long as it did, considering the manner in which it was managed and the men :nd policy which gontrolled its affairs, “‘Haye you read Mr, Davis' book?” “No, sir; T never intend to. 1 do not recognize Mr. Davis’ history, It would have been a 't deal better for him and the_south if it had never been written. Most of the people in this country regret that it was ever written. The truth is, the bulk of the mls of the south pity Davis rather admire him,+ The. trouble with Davis was and is that hp has an ex- altod idea of his own importance. He ‘hass ome ability,but no nerve, and has not the slightest capacity for manag- ing men. I have not a thing againi him except his follies. ay photograph to put in his book, but X declined to give it. T didn’t want my picture to go down to posterity in the engraving showing his original cabinet which makes me look about 19 years old.” _““Were you present when Mr, Da- vis held his last cabinet consultation here in your beautiful town?" *No, sir; T did not even invite Mr. Davis to my house when here. I never spoke to him after I left the service. reckinridge and Reagan of his cabi- net were my guests during their stay in Washington. Davis stayed ata T offered to sendmy Mr. 'Rob:molzlx'-. © for his use and do any other act of hndm_- T could, but u?uld would have a vessel there to takethem to some foreign country. 1do not know whether they ever told him or not, but I did assist all the members except Mr. Reagan, who decided to stay with Mr, Davis. and Mr. Benja- min, who left the party some twenty miles before they reached this point. 1t was a sorry party, indeed, but what else could you expect?” THE PIRST CABINET. “You were his first secretay of state!” : “‘Yes, sir, I was in his first cabinet, but it was not a very enviable posi- tion. 1 do not believe that there was a man in the cabinet that had a thous- and dollars’ worth of credit or money whon the war broke out. T had both, In Europe I had almost unlimited credit, and used o endorse the drafts of the confederacy to get funds, and 1 had to pay 820,000 of the confede- rate debt after the war in the shape of a draft I had endorsed when secre tary of state. They had a queer way of running the confederate govern- ment, Memminger, the secretary of the treasury, was of an economical turn, and T understand he used to hire niggers to print the confederate money, and instead of paying them for their labor he gave them the use of the presses at night to print for themselves. No one had any official authority. Somebody said I wasa general, and I went and took com- mand, but I never knew it officially, and I think no one else ever did. “The first cabinet was a queer crowd and had a queer history. I re- member that when the government was moved to Richmond and we got in five or six more states than wo had when the cabinet was originally organized, I told Davis that I would not stay with such a crowd as he had around him then. I placed my per- emptory resignation in his {mmln unl ou?l’n would dismiss the whole of them, He told me he did not like to do that arbitrarily, but said he should deeply regret my retirement, and asked me to say to every member of the cabinet that as more states had been added to the confederacy since the cabinet was created, he thought that all ought to resign and give hima chance to make a new one. I did as Davis told me, and told every one of them exactly what Davis said, and told them that he told me to tell them. But all of them stuck and in- sisted that Davis himself must bring the word, The trouble was, none of them had a place to go if they got out of the cabinet, It was ground hog or no dinner with them.” WHY TOOMBS LEFT. +“What wero .the differences that took you out of the cabinet?” ‘I could nou get along with Davis or with the other members of the cab- inot. T was vindictively hostile to conscriptions and impressments. My policy was to support the cause by di- rect contributions, There was no trouble about'that. Our people would have given their last dollar, and what o THE OMAHA charitable thing fot the author or out of curiosity, 1 do not want to#iy anything unkind about Mr. Davis be- caune he has never done me any harm, 1t is fair, however, to say that' Mr. Davis’ book is a very able disquisition on the rights of the states. Iagree with him." LIKR A LOT OF OLD MAIDS, “What is your judgment about the controversy between Davis and Gen, Johnston?” ‘““Johnston is right, He is as petulent as an old maid,but he has gotthe right of the differences between Mr. Davis and himself. The trouble is that Da- vis was constantly interfering with his military commanders and rewarding his pets at the expense of better men. A real ground of the difliculty betwe Johnston and Davis grew out of the question of rank, Why, after the government was moved to Richmond I had a great time getting Lee into the confederate service, He was a major- general of Virginia troops, and Davis had a pet by the name of Cooper that he wanted to make the ranking gener- al of the confedera he commis- sion _appointed by Virginia insisted that Lee be made the ranking officer, and I had to go to Dayia to_fix it up, I told Davis t’imt we had a hard time gettiny Virginia out of the Union and we had to make some concessions to keep her out. Davis finally consented and that fixed Lees position in the army, but it was not until tho fall of 1861, aftor we had been at war more than six months. Settling Lee's rank offended Johnston. He was always in a bad humor about his rank. All these old army officers were as jealous of one another as a lot of old maids. I never cared a cuss about rank. They had mie under arrest for some infrac- tion of militaryrule, but T never mind- ed that and went into the second bat- tle of Manassas whilo under arres At Sharpsburg they gave me a sion, " Half of these regular soldiers cared a cussed sight more about their rank than they did about the cause in which they were engaged.” THE BEST SOLDIERS, “Which were your best generala?” ‘“Lee, Joe Johnston and Longstreet. He _is a-radical now, but was a good soldier and a gentleman. Stonewall Jackson, he was the best of them all. Jackson was the greatest soldier since Napoleon He was a military genius and had a power over men which few men ever vossessed, and yet, do you know, if it had not been for me Davis would have got rid of Stonewall Jackson the first year of the war, During the campaign’in western \'irEinin he put one of his pets over Jackson and he resignod and Davis accepted it. When I heard of it I went-and made him recall it, else the greatest soldier of the confederacy would have been virtually set aside at the very beginning of the conflict. There was a funny story about this: The man whom he put over General Jackson, which caused “the resigna- tion, had been a member of congress I wanted to do was to ship all the cot- ton to Europe and draw againstit. It would have given us unlimited means, Oonscriptions and impressments kept our Eenple dissatisfied. There was no trouble about seuing recruits for the army but to drag a man away from home and puthim in astrangeregiment with strange officers over ieim, made him a prisoner rather than a soldier. When I took a command in the arm; I sont every ‘cussed conscript Davis sont me back home. They put me under arrest for disobeying orders, but that didn't worry me. I went on duty the same,” “Were there any other differences between you, the cabinet and Presi- dent Davis?” N “‘Yeos, sir, a very seriousono, Iwas the secretary of state, and assuch was endeavoring to secure recognition by foreign powers, and it was I that sent Yancey to i‘:urupo for that pur- pose. Both France and England were ready to recognizo us, but they object- ed to slavery. I replied that slavery should not stand in the way of our recognition, I then demandea the right to issue a proclamation of eman- cipation, freeing every slave by the stroke of the ‘imn. a8 it was finally done. Davis and the cabinet neither had the sense nor the nerve to take such a course, It would haye made the success of our cause as certainly a8 the sun will rise on another day, Davis hadn't the courage. = The clamation could haye been for gradual emancipation and then repudiated, as Washington did the neutraily treaty, if necessary. Wo had plenty of prece- dents for such action, I would have taken the responsibility, and ought, as secretary of state, to have been al- lowed to, but Davis wasn't a diplomat, neither was he a statesman or a sol- dier, i ‘‘There are many queer things about the confederacy w}:ich have never been told. These so called histories don’t touch the bone, One of these days I may conclude to write the in- urrutil:g' acts, No, not I, but 1 will leave the facts and documents for some one else to write after I am gone, PREPARING FOR WAR, ““In 18556 I had talked over this questton of the aboltion of slave) with Napoleon IIL and with Glad- stone and with Palmerston.’ I fore- saw the war then and was for prepar- ing forit. Both Napoleon and the English government would have re- cognized us ina moment but for slavery and I knew it, but Davis stood in my way of meeting the objections of the foreign powers as expressed to me, therefore I resigned. I knew that our success depended upon such recognition. When I went to Europe after the war I was more than ever confirmed in the wisdom of the policy 1 would have adopted.” “‘Yes, we had a queer government.” 1 remember one day a secret agent of the English government stepped up to me and said: ‘* ‘Mr, secretary, where will T find the state department "' . “““In my hat, sir, and the archives in my coat pocket.”” ““What do you think of Mr. Davis' disoussion of the constitutional rights of the states 1" “I do not care anything about Mr, Davis' discussion of the constitutional rights of the states. What earthly sense 18 there 1n our discussing ques- tione that are the natural outgrowths of our. form vammlmlho war has destroyed them. sheerest nonsense, and will have no earthly effect upon any section of the country.” ‘‘Mr. Davis' book may be bought or read either from & desire to do a It is the | di from Arkansas and once challenged Bob Johnston. Davis was his second and I was Johnston’s sécond. ' Davis had one merit, that was of sticking to his friends,” UNRECONSTRUCTED, “‘Senator Hill says the war changed this government.” “That is the sheerest nonsense. The character of the government has not changed. It cannot be changed. T deny even that the constitution has been changed. T say that the 13th, 14th and 16th amendmentsé are mnot rts of the conststution of the Tnited States and I have no respect for the government as now organized and admnistered, and if I were in politics T would go before the people upon that issue, That is the reason wh‘{ T'have never accepted amnesty. I do not recornize the government in its present shape as having the power to grant amnesty. Of course am only speaking for myself, but this is my position. I have committed no crime and shall never ask forgiveness.” ‘‘Georgia seems prosperous now, goneral?” 1Oh! es, we are getting along first rate. You are now inthe greatest section of Georgia though. This is Wilkes county, old Wilkes, that has | o sent'a greater number of men into business and political life who have made their mark than any other coun- ty in the United States. = Why, sir, it ro- |i8 almost a title of nobility to come from Wilkes county.” And o this queer character went on to show his devotion to the place of his nativity. He is 71 years old on Saturday, a full figured, round-faced man, with a tuft of gray whiskers far down'upon his throat. - He has a blue eye and kindly expression. It is said he has been the handsomest as well as one of the ablest men Georgia ever produced, = He is recognized here as a eat lawyer and is still retained in rgo causes, elflscinlly where the state Is interested, Hois a man of great wealth and almost unlimited credit in financial eircles, Since the war, when the state was in trouble, he loaned it his credit for nearly $300,000, and during the constitution convention, held but a fow years since, the appro- priation failed, and he paid each of the member with his personal check for their services, rolyipg on the leg- islature - to reimburse !inim.
