THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY JULY 8 , 1881. I ' f ROBERT TOOMBS. ! f , His Views on the Men and r Measures of the Con i * federacy. * -A. Oharacteristio and Merciless , - Criticism of Jeff Davis and His Book. Tlio Southern GonorftU-Why Mr. Toombs i * Still TTnro- constmotod. Correspondence ol the Phlhdtlphln Prcw. WASHIXOTOX , Gn. , Juno 27. This is n charming little place ot about 2- 000 inhabitants , situated in the midst of n fertile country eighteen miles from the Georgia railroad Tunning from ; Augusta to Atlanta. It was founded in 1775 by the father of Gen eral Robert Toonibs. nnd was the first town in America to bear Washington's name. It is the spot where the confed eracy collapsed nnd where the last conference between Jeff Da vis nnd his cabinet took place , when the flight be gan. A part of the confederate gold wan thrown into Toombs' door-yard and by his orders taken away and di vided among General Joe Johnston's noldicrs. Bo far ns Georgia is con cerned this is the place where seces sion was born. It came from the brains and eloquence of the ono man who still lives hero nnd persists in adherence to principles which the war settled. The atones that are told of the last < biys of the confederacy hero arc nu merous and man-clous. A photograph of' Jeff Davis nnd his cabinet when the decision was reached that they must abandon their people nnd cause nnd flee the country-would , if reports nro true , make n far greater animation , nnd bo as great an addition to the his tory of the war , nnd nearly as great a financial success , as The llfso and Fall of the Confederate Government , by iho man who hurriedly left this beauti ful little southern town in the spring of 1805 , nnd ninodaysaftorward,8omo hundred miles io the south of this , was overtaken by the federal troops and Bqcurrdi Washington is an interesting place , not .more for the romims'conces of the , lto conflict which can bo gathered -here , than for the present contribu tion to its war history which can bo heard where it actually ondod. ' TUB HOMB OP QENEIUL KODKUT . the first secretary of 'tho state in Mr. Paris' cabinet , in hero. Ho resides < uu iv charming estate of 320 acres , in an old-fashioned * house built a hun < lrod years ago in n yard filled with original oaks of dignified pretensions , which still stand like guards about the ancestral home. , Toonibs' ancestors "were English , descendants of the best Saxon stock. His mother was a Miss Hughlin , fromJuniata county , Penn aylvanid , 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 ad a grant from the governor of Georgia in these early times , nnd it has noyer boon sold. Its present proprietor prides himself upon the old place , the homo of his ancestors , and welcomes his visitors with a prince ly hospitality and unexcelled gentility , It is his boast that a hotel cannot live in Washington. Ho says : "A gentleman tloman nblo to pay his bill andfit , for a companion is always welcomed at his house , and therefore a good hotel is usolcsp. " x His wife , who was a Miss DuBois of South Oarolinia , a Huguenot do acondnnt , is still living , and vies with her husband in lavish hospitality , nnd the kindly welcome a stranger is euro to roccivo at the Toombs' mansion. She is even a beauty nt seventy. < 'Wo ' Imvo boon fifty years married , " said General Toombs to mo to-day , "and hayo celebrated our golden wed ding hero in this beautiful town nnd in this churming old homo. , My wife has traveled with mo all over the wprld , to every land where civiliza tion has yet planted its foot. " General Toombs has tho1 reputation of being a blurt' , blunt and , by some , a vindictive man , but11 , rcnl underneath nil the apparent rudeness good , gener ous impulses and great mdntai force. THE I.AST DITCH. "Washington was where the Con federacy died , I believe , " said to-day as I-was chatting with this interest ing man upon the war nnd its re- aims. "Yes , this' was the place where it finally gave official notice to the world that it was dead. The Confederacy died ' when Richmond w a evacuated. t The conflict ended even before Lee surrendered. It is a wonder that it lived as long as it'did , considering the manner in which it was managed and the .nion and policy which controlled its affiiirs. " "Hayo you read Mr. Davis' book ? " "No sirjl never intend to. I do not roco'gmzo Mr. Davis' history , It would have boon1 a great deal bettor for him and the south if it had never boon written. Most , of the people in this country regret that it was over -written. The truth is , the bulk of the people of the south pity Davis rather than luluiiro lu'nu-i Tlio. trouble with Davis was and is that ho Ijas an exalted - altod idea of hia own importance. Ho liass omo nbility.but no nerve , nnd has not the slightest capacity for manag ing men. I have not n thing against him' except his follies. Ho wanted jay photograph to put in his bookbut , I declined to give it. I didn't want my picture to go down to posterity in the engraving allowing his original cabinet which makes mo look about 10 years old. " "Wero you present when Mr. Da vis held his lost cabinet consultatioi hero in your beautiful town ? ' ' "No , sir ; I did not even invite Mr. Davis to my house , when hero. I uover apoko to him after I loft the service Brockinridgo and Reagan of his cabi net were my guests during their stay in Washington. Davis stayed nta Mr. Robinson's. I offered to sendiny carriage for his use and do any other act of kindness I could , but I could not roeeivo him at my house. Wlioi the thing had finally burst I told Brockiundgo and Reagan to say to Mr. Davis that I would get him out of the country without trouble , and any member of liU cabinet who desired to go. I said it would only take five days .to reach the Florida coast , and 11 would have n vessel there totakothem to some foreign country1 dp not know whether they over told him or not , > fju I did assist all the member * except Mr. Reagan , who decided to stay with Mn Davis , nnd Mr. Benja min , who left the party some twenty miles before they reached this point. It was a sorry party , indeed , but what else could you expect ? " THE FIRST CABINET. "You were his first accrotay of state ? " "Y > 8 , sir , I n as in his first cabinet , but it was not a very enviable posi tion. 1 do not believe that thcro was a man in the cabinet that had n thous and dollars' worth of credit or money when the war broke out. I had both. In Europe I had almost unlimited credit , and used , to endorse the drafts of the confederacy to got funds , and I had to pay $20,000 of the confede rate debt after th6 war in the shape of a draft I had endorsed when secre tary of state. They had n queer way of running the confederate govern ment. Mcmmlngcr , the secretary of the treasury , was of nn economical turn , nnd T understand ho used to hire niggers to print the confederate money , nnd instead of paying them for their labor ho gave them the use of the presses at night to print for thonidolvcs. No ono had nny official authority. Somebody oaul I was a general , nnd I wont and took com mand , but I never know it ofiicially , and I think no one else ever did. "Tho first cabinet was a queer crowd nnd had a queer history. I re member that when the government was moved to Richmond nnd wo got in five or six moro states than wo had when the cabinet was originally organized , I told Davis that I would not stay with such a crowd as ho had around him then. I placed my per emptory resignation in his hands unless ho would dismiss the whole of them. Ho told mo ho did not like to do that arbitrarily , but said ho should dpoply regret my retirement , and asked mo to say to every member of the cabinet lhat ns moro states had been added to the confederacy since the cabiriot was created , ho thought that all ought to resign and give him a chance to make a new ono. I did as Davis told mo , and told every ono of them exactly what Davis said , and told them that ho told mo to toll them. ! Uut all of them stuck and in sisted that Davis himself must bring the word. The trouble was , none of ithom had a place to go if , they got out of the cabinet. It was ground hog erne no dinner with thorn. " WHYTOOMnsXEJT. 'What were .tho differences that took you out of the cabinet ? " * "I could not got along with Davis or with the other members of the cab inet.I was vindictively hostile to conscriptions and impressments. My policy was to support'tho cause by di rect contributions. Thcro was no trouble nbout'tJint. ' Our people would have given thqir last dollar , nnd what I wanted to do was to hip all the cot * ton to Europe and draw against it. It would have given us unlimited means. Conscriptions and impressments'kept ' our people dissatisfied. There , was no trouble about getting recruits for the army but to drag a man away from homo and put him in a strange regiment with strange officers over him , made him a prisoner rather than n soldier. When I took a command in the army I sent every 'cussnd conscript Davis sent mo back homo. They put md under arrest for disobeying orders , but that didn't worry mo. I wont on duty the satno. " "Woro there any other differences between you , the cabinet and President dent Davis ? " "Yes , sir , a very serious ono. I was the secretary of state , and as such was endeavoring to secure recognition by foreign powers , and it was I that sent Ynncoy to Europe for that pur pose. Both Franco and England wore ready to recognize us , but they object ed to slavery. I replied that slavery should not stand in the way of our recognition , I then dom < uid.oo ; the rjghtito isauo a proclamation of eman cipation , freeing every slave by the stroke of the nan , as it was finally rtono. Davis , and the cabinet neither 'md the sense nor the nerve to tnka moh a course. It would have made the success of our cause as certainly as the sun will rise on 'another day. Davis hadn't the courage. The pro clamation could have boon for gradual emancipation and then rppudiatod , as Washington did the neutrally treaty , if necessary. Wo had plenty of preco- dontu 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 n diplomat , neither was ho a statesman or a sol dior. dior."Tlioro "Tlioro nro many queer things about the confederacy which have never boon told. Those so called , histories don't touch the bono. Ono of thcso days , ! may conclude to write the in teresting tacts. No , not , I , but 1 will leave tno facts and documents for some ono else torito after I am gono. KOH WAlt. "In 1850 I had talked over this question of the abolition of slavery with Napoleon HI. and with Glad stone and with Pnhnerston. ' I fore saw the war then and was for prepar ing for it. Both Napoleon and the English government would liavo re cognized us in a moment but for slavery and I know it , but Davis stood in my way of mooting the objections of the foreign powers as expressed tome mo , therefore I resigned. I know thai our success depended upon BUG ! lecognltion. When I wont to Europ after the war I was moro than eve confirmed in tlio wisdom of the polic ; I would ha ; a adopted. " "Yes , wo had a queer government. I remember ono day n secret ngont o the English government stopped up t mo and said ; " 'Mr. secretary , where will I find the atato department ? ' " " 'Jn my hat , sir , and the archive in my coat pocket.1" "What do you think of Mr. Davis discussion of the constitutional righti of the states ? " "I do not care any thing about Mr , Davis' discussion of the conatitutionn rights of the states. What earthlj sense is thcro in our discussing quns tioiu that are the natural outgrowth ! of our form of government after th war has destroyed them. It is th sheerest nonsense , and will have n earthly effect upon any section of th' ' country. ' * "Mr. Davis' book may bo bough or rend cither from a dwiro to do ihnritnblo thing fet the author or out if curiosity. I do not wanttoaoy . .nythinct unkind about Mr. Davis bo- cjuiso ho ha * never done mo ny Harm. It is fair , however , , to say that'Mr. Davis' book is a very able disquisitibn on the rights of the states. I agree with him/ UKK A LOT OF OLD MAIDS. "What is your judgment abodt , ho controversy between DM is nnd Gen. Johnston ? " "Johnston is right , Hois aspctuluit s an old maidjbutho had got the right if the differences between Mr. Davis , nd himself. The trouble is that Da is was constantly interfering toith his lilitnry commanders nnd rewarding ils pets at the expense of better men. L real ground of the difficulty between ohnston and Davis grow out of the ucstion of rank. Why , after the ovcrnmont waa moved to Richmond had a great time getting Leo into the ionfedenito service. Ho uus n major- ; cncrnl of Virginia troops , nnd Davis ad n pot by the name of Cooper that 0 wanted to make the ranking gcnor- 1 of the confederacy. The commis- ion appointed by Virginia insisted lint Lee bo made the ranking bfliccr , nd I had to go to D.ivia to fix it up , told Davis that wo had n hard time cttin Virginia out of the Union nnd r'e had to mnko some concessions to cop her out. Davis finally consented lid that fixed Leo's position in the , rmy , but it was not until the fall of 801 , after no had been at wnr more hnn six months. Settling Loo's rank ffendod Johnston. Ho noa always i n bad humor about his rank. All hcso old army officers wore as jealous > f ono another ns n lot of old maids. never cored n cuss about rank. They ad mo under arrest for some infrac- on of military rule , but T never mind- d that and wont into the second bate - o of Manasias nhilo under arrest. U Slinrpsburg they gave mo n divi- ion. Half of thcso regular soldiers arod a cussed sight more about their rank than they did about the cause in which they were cngagedi" T1IB BEST HOT.D1EUS. "Which wore your best gonorala ? " "Loo , Jno Johnston and Longstrrct. Ho _ is a-radical now , but wna n good pldior and a gentleman. Stonewall "acltson , ho was the best of them all. ackson was the greatest soldier inco Napoleon Ho waa n military eniuB nnd had n power over men rhich few men ever cosscssed , and et , do you know , if it had not been or mo Davis would have got rid of Uunbwnll Jackson the first year of the ran During the campaign in westcni Virginia ho put ono of his pets over : ackson and ho resigned and Davis accepted it. When I heard of it I rent and made him recall it , else the rcatcst soldier of the confederacy , -ould liavo been virtually sot aside at lib very beginning of the conflict , lioro waa n funny story about this : 'ho man whom ho put pver General 'ackson , which caused' the rc'signa- ion , had boon a member of congress ram Arkansas and once challenged Bob Johnston. Davis was1 his second .ndlwas . Johnston's s6cond. Davis lad ono merit , that was of sticking to his friends. " UN HECONHTIIUOTED. "Senator Hill says the war changed , his government. " ' 'That ' is the sheerest nonsense. The character of the government has not changed. It cannot bo changed. I-deny even that the constitution has boon changed. I say that the 13th , 14th and 10th amendments arc not parts of the constitution 'of the United Stntes and I have no respect for the- government as now organized and administered , nnd if I were in politics I would go before tho' people upon that issue. That ia the reason why I'havo ' never accepted amnesty. I do not rocot'iiizo the government in 'ts present shape as having the power o grant amnesty. Of course I nm mly speaking for myself , but this ia my position. I have committed no inmo and shall never ask forgiveness. " "Georgia acorns prosperous now , general ? " "Oil ! yes , wo are getting along first ate. You nro now in tno greatest lection of Georgia though. This is Wilkoa county , old Wilkes , that has sont'n greater number of men into business nnd political lifo who have made their mark than anyother coun ly in the United States. Why , sir , it is almost a title of nobility to como rom Wilko's county. " And so this queer character wont on to show his devotion to the place of his nativity. Ho is 71 years old on Saturday , a full figured , round-faded man , with n tuft of gray whiskers far down upon his throat. Ho has n blue eye and kindly expression. It is said ho has been tlio handsomest as well as ono of the ablest men Georgia over produced , HO ia recognizedhero na n great lawyer and is still'retained in largo causes , especially where the state la interested. Ho is a man of great wealth and almost unlimited credit in [ innnciaJ circles. Since the war , when the state was in trouble , ho loaned it | his credit for nearly $300,000 , nnd ' during the constitution convention , hold butiix few years since , the appro- Sriation failed , and ho paid each of 10 member with his personal chock for their Borvicos , rolyyig on the leg. islaturo to reimburse him. Ho. is everywhere in Georgia recognized as a sharp , , suruwd financier.
