Washington Special to N. O. Picayune. Senator Gibson’s speech at the Yale banquet and recetion, the other day, was something of a surprise to the crowd of Northern and Eastern men who had assembled there. He was assigned to respond to the sentiment of “The New South,” and the idea was that he should portray the t South as a section that was somewhat ashamed of its past history and public men and methods, and anxious to only catch the step from Northern communs ities. None of the New Englanders present dreamed that there was anything in the old North that ought to be changed. Senator Gibson complimented the old Yale and the old South, comparing them to old wine and old friends. He reminded the audience that Yale had sent forth in the pearson of Judiah P. Benjamin a man who had taken the front rank at the American bar and th< n I ! ad crossed the ocean to achieve a like • istinction in the British forum, and ; that it had also helped to educate and train another eminent Southerner, John | C. Calhoun, who had achieved the high est distinction in the Senate and in the arena of political philosophy and ac tion. Abating nothing of his respect for the history and institutions of the old South, Gen. Gibson recognized the material ad vances and energies of the new South, and complimented also the improve- i jnent which had taken place in the tem per end mere eularged patriotism of the new South This view of the subject was quite re freshing to some oi these Democrats j present and was a revelation calculated to penetrate the conceit which constant- j ly assumes that the only portion of the country where public sentiment requires correction is that of the communities which were desolated by the war.
