Hayes as a Hypocrite Convicted Under His Own Hand
The piece accuses Zachariah Chandler of corruption and hypocrisy linking him to funding of Rutherford B. Hayes’s 1876 presidential bid. It claims Chandler used federal officeholder assessments to fund Hayes and alleges forged returns and embezzlement, casting Hayes’s civil service reforms as insincere. It ends with a note about Grant traveling to Europe and planning dictatorial moves.

Rebel Yell and Confederate Generals in a Soldier’s Eye
A fragment from a reminiscence describes General Lee, Jackson, Breckenridge, and Joe Johnston with admiration and irony. It recalls Jackson’s battlefield bearing, Breckenridge’s manly beauty, and Johnston’s quiet self-mockery. The piece centers on the Confederate rebel yell, its haunting, strange chorus, heard by marching troops and by Stonewall Jackson who pauses to listen with awe.
