But, recently a voice hero and there is being raised in condemna tion of those crimes and a pen hero and there is painting them in their lion i hie h..n Sentiment will become balanced on this subject ai- ter mvhile, when one of these crimes w I ell-et the ot her and both will he rccdgni/.td as hideous blots on the fair face of (Miristian rivili/.ution. • * ♦ Now the ponetenliary iovestigatii g eoinmiftoe, afier a long rest and many pleasant dreams, has come to gether again to renew’ the chase of fntu I. The track is becoming cold, bit with olfactories freshened by rest and sharpened to a keener scent the eommittej may be relied on to I ruck the fox to his den and in the meantime to jump smaller game along the devioiM paths that wind through the tangled and gloomy political forest. Listen for the blow ing of horns and the haying of hounds as now and then the trail be comes hot or the game comes into sight, and I hen be prepared for the sudden si Him ss that follows t he me lee of hounds and horns, and join with the hunters in wotuhi-ng how the trad was lo.»t and what became uf the game ♦ 4 ♦ ♦ The Confederate veterans are get ting after pension frauds In accord ance with orders from CJeneralWalker, commanding the S. C. Division, the matter will he thoroughly investi gated at the re-union in (Ihr-ster on the 20th inst., by a committee composed of one member from each camp in the State. We do not know the exact nature of the evils com plained 0,f hut we suppose undeserv ing persons are drawing pensions while many deserving ones are de*- barred. While it is impossible in the operation of such a system to se cure exact justice to every case, yet let the matter he sifted to the bot tom and discriminations be made sharp and the distribution as just as possible. Confederate pensions are too few and far between to be tam pered with or misapplied. The amounts are so small that tie ut most fraud that could be committed in any individual case would not rank in the calendar of crime above the dignity of petty larceny. Hut petty’ larceny is the meanest and most contemptible of all the classes and sty les of larceny. ♦ ♦ ♦♦ Governor MeSweemy has dis missed twenty-live of the lifly-nine dispensary constables, there-hy reducing the expenses of the sys tem by over $20 0110 a year. The Governor is a strong advocate of the dispensary, believing it to be the best solution of the liquor problem, but he believes that the law ought to be and can be enforced by the regu lar state ollicers like any other law, and, in accordance with his belief, he has thus begun the work of putting it on the common basis. We believe the Governor is correct in theory and that if t he dispensary law prove, it self worthy of the endorsement of public sentiment, it can arid will ho enforced by the regularly organized machinery of government. If it can not bo thus enforced, all the con stables that the state can muster cannot enforce it, ami the conclusion is inevitable that it ought to he abolished, 'l ire Governor’s plan is worthy of a fair trial and all good citizens should support it. If the plan succeeds, it will take the dis- ponsary largely out of polities, thus paralyzing one of its most danger ous functions. « ♦ ♦ The trusts are gradually tighten ing their grip upon the country, and they now virtually control the price of almost every manufactured article of trade. Cotton cloth is the only article wo cun think of that is ex empt. and much of that, no doubt, iu some of the processes and manipu lations through which it passes after first leaving the loom falls into the dutches of some greedy trust and comes back to us stamped with the ! seal of its power. What Is to be done, is the momentous problem of the age. In the present state of af- ' fairs it seems that the only plan j that would suggest ’itself is to light j the devd with lire, or to meet trusts with counter trusts. This course is legitimate in theory hut exceedingly difficult iu practice, when applied to j j agriculture and cotton manufacture, ; the two great industries of the South. 1 The cotton mills cannot combine to j fix the price of their manufactured good beeause those goods must go into the markets of the world and compete with the products of foreign mills, and farming interests are so vast and varied that it is at, present i impossible to combine them into any thing like unity and make them obedient to one central authority. So, there we are, and there we must remain and continue to hope against for some great change in social and economic conditions that will bring relief. ASBURY SCHOOL EXERCIStS.

INTERESTING INCIDENTS 4aor<lon*H Inflroriiiction of Hampton ami tin* Tr<’iii4‘ittl<His Ki'ci’plion tht’OM lltTo Hampton'* Spi-t ch to Hit’ 01*1 f on- frd**rut cm. From what wo said in the last chapter we do not wish our readers to think that Rev. Dr. James Bowers Smith was Stonewall Jackson’s regu lar chaplain. He acted in place of Rev. R. L. Dobuey, D. J)., at times, and on occasione when he wa subsent, and often assisted him when present. Dr. Smith was a close personal friend of Gen. Jackson, and the two spent much of their time together in devo tional exercises and in communion with their<lod. No doubt the Saviour was looking down the line of coming centuries to the scene on the battlefield of Chan- cellorsville when he enunciated that great truth, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”—St.John 17:1.1. Dr. Smith began his prayer in the auditorium that morning by repeat ing the lir^t two verses of the IK It h Bsalm. It was about 1 o’clock when Gen. Wheeler linished his speech, and Gen. Wade Hampton came into the hall with Col. James G. Holmes and Maj. I heo. Barker as an escort. As they marched up the aisle towards the stand (•eii. Gordon rose and said: “Comrades — If all else wore dead in the South, except that one hero I am now going to present to you, the dead bodies of these men would rise up at the name of Hampton.” A wonder ful applause followed this assertion and the crowd raised a yell for Hamp ton. As (ten. Hampton came to the front of the stage Adj Gen. James (5. Holmes stepped to Ills side and said: “Comrades—The Daughters of the Confederacy-, of Charleston, women worthy of bearing that name, have seen 111 to make memorable this day, this hour, and this reunion by pre senting to the entire organization of the I . C. Veterans a Hag; on one side the hat He Hag you all loved and they so revered on the other side the Hag of the State, to roe ill your visit to this State. Like the sunll >wers, they ail turn one way. to one luminary, and that luminary is Soul h Carolina’s Wado Hampton.” Loud and pro longed cheering followed, hut when I he General got a chance to speak he began : “Mr. Commander and my Old Com rades— It took a go til deal to bring me down to Charleston, hut when I heard that the women demanded my pn senee I wrote to one of them to say that it was not necessary to ask my consent; that I was always under orders from our noble grand women. They disire me to present, in their naino and the Daughters of the Con federacy, to the whole organization of L’nited Confederate Veterans this Hag, bearing upon one side the em blem of South Carolina, and on the other the dear Hag under which so many of us fought and died. That Hag has never had u stain of dishonor upon upon it, and it will, us the poet says: "Uis** wlii-u I he warrior's hanaer lakes its iliahi To nr»*H the warrior's soul." “As long as eternity lasts, as long ns the mountains stand, the memory of Uio men who stood under it will he held in loving memory throughout our land.” As soon as Gen. Hampton finished his speech Gen. Gordon arose and said: “Gen. Hampton, as you represent the fair daughters of Charleston, let me say to you, as the selected organ of the Confederate veterans, that we accept this Hag, and it shall ever be cherished by us, and transmitted by us to our children, and our children's children. We accept it with all the sacred memories that cluster around it. These glorious women have not mistaken the sentiment of oui’ South land when they entrust to them and their keeping the sacred emblem of the past. We thank these women of South Carolina with all our hearts, and extend to them the grateful ac knowledgment of our indebtedness to them for this evidence of their confi dence in our present, as well as up- pnelution of the past record of these men. And now, comrades,* to you and to y-.iir keeping I commit this sacred emblem, with the assurance that as its folds have never known a stain in the past your record shall know no blot in all the coming years.” Gen. Gordon then took the beauti ful Hag, amid enthusiastic cheers for the noble women of the Dulmetto State, of which we are so proud to be a citizen. There are many other incidents that we might mention that will re mind the old soldiers of oilier days. Some of them we will pick up at ran dom, as we have already drawn too heavily on The Ledger and patience of our renders who may take little in terest in our account of the reunion. But before we pass we wish to report what Gen. Wheeler said in comparing the statistics of our great civil war with that of European wars as an evidence of the superior courage of American soldiers. We quote him just us he spoke il in the presence of t lioiisunds of people. He said : “The battle-scarred veterans who, during four years of bloody warfare, dazzled the world with the splendor of their heroism, are just passing away. I'lie few who remain gather annually to renew the friendship which, formed among such scenes, is the warmest and most enduring. No greater heroes were in the legions led by Alexander, Hannibal, Charlc- munge or Napoleon, for your achieve ments exet lied them all. “To better understand the deter mined courage of these American sol diers. contending against each other, !» t us compare our casualties with those of other important warp. At Waterloo, one of the most desperate and bloody fields recorded in Euro pean history, Wellington’s casualties did not exceed 12 per cent., his losses being 2,1H2 killed and l). 1128 wounded in more than 100,000 men; while at Shiloh, the first great battle iu the west, the casualties on one side were '.1.710 out of 34,000, while on the other side the number of killed and wounded reached 9,61(5, amounting t > 30 per cent. Napoleon, at Wiignun, lost 7 per cent, and yet his army gave up the field and retreated. At Rueour Marsha 1 Saxo lost 21 per cent.; at Zurich Massena lost S uer cent,; at Logriz Frederick lost (5.1 per cent., and at Ramilliers (5 per cent. ; at Lodo Napoleon lost 1^ percent.; atValmy Frederick William’s loss was 3 per cent. ; Marengo and Aust.erlitz, with all their carnage, cost Napoleon an average loss of less than 141 per cent. The average loss of both armies at Magenta and Solferino was less than | 9 per cent., while in the historic field of Hohcnlinden Gen. Moreau lost but I per cent, and the Archduke John lost but 7 per cent, in killed and wounded. Americans would scarcely cull these hat ties lively skirmish lighting. At, Berryville, Murfrees boro. Cliickumauga, Atlanta, Mission ary Ridge, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Sharps- burg, Wilderness, Spottsylvunia, and many other Helds, the loss often reached, and sometimes exceeded, 40 per cent., and the average of killed and wounded on one side or the other was over 30 per cent. “In the great battles of the civil war you contended with men of cour age, fortitude and endurance—men of your own nation—hone of your hone and llesh of your flesh. Men with the same birthright of freedom, im bued with the same spirit of liberty; ! men who were as conscientiously con tending fur what they deemed the right of the Federal government as you fur wlnrt you thought to be your rights]as a sovereign people. ” .1. l.. s. ALASKA HAS CANNIBALISM. Two Men Driven by Hunger to Gating llunitwi Klegli. Cijwt.k City, Alaska, May 29, via Sax Fkanoisco, June 19 —A story of possible cannibalism and death on the Ynkou trail has just reached bore. Three men, who left Dahl river on Dee. o for Jim- town, wore not heard of again and they were supposed to have been lost. Noth ing was heard of them here till the steamer Rideout, which arrived today, brought a terrible tale of suixeriug and horror. 1 he men wore Michael Daly, Victor Ed in r and M. Provost. They were from Providence, R I., Woonsocket, R. 1., and Brockton, Mass , respectively. Their bodies were discovered 17 miles from the mouth of Oid Man’s creek, they having lost the trail and become bewildered. Having left Dahl river with omy three weeks’ food, which was insufficient tor (he lot) miles to Jim- town, they were reduced to starvation. Daly’s body was found, partly eaten, on the stove iu the tent, just as it was left wlisn (ieufh overtook the others. Some scraps of moosehide and mocca sins were found, of which they were endeavoring to make a steak. Daly’s body was identified by the clothes. The other two men were found dead ft miles away from the tent. The fact of the tent flaps being shut dow n when found would seem to pre- cinde the possibility of Daly’s body having been oaten by animals. The other men doubtless were driven by hunger to the awful extremity of canni balism. Four hundred dollars were found on the bodies. Tlu- Wonlx of a Famous Mission Worker.

He belongs to an old and prominent Maryland family. His father, the Rev. Dr. J. L. Lodge, is one of the oldest minis ters of our denomination in Mary land—a man of vigorous intellect and firm character. Dr. J.odge entered the Columbian University when quite u boy, and from his first session until his gradu ation with the highest college degree, he was a leader in a class whose members were distinguished for marked intellectual power. When yet a very young man lie was, in re cognition of his ability and academic success, elected an instructor in the Columbian University. From that time, until, holding one of the most inportant professorships there, be was chosen president of Limestone College, his career was un honor to himself and a cause for proper pride to the friends, who rejoice in the suc cess which intellectual force and high character have won for this brilliant young scholar and teacher. “At home” in ancient and modern languages, Dr. Lodge is iquully strong in general literature, while his special department of research and instruction is historical and po litical science. Extended travel and study in Great Britan and on tlie Continent have given him added breadth and culture. Among the younger men of our time President Lodge is the ablest, all-around scholar that the writer bus ever known. As a college president, he will “hold his own” among the best; as a gentleman, lie is kindly, courteous, and genial; as a man, be is loyal and fearless. It is a distinct gain to our state to acquire this able and eloquent speaker, this accomplished scholar and Ibis faithful Christian. (Spartanburi? Herald.1 Lee Davis Lodge, Ph.

Mrtliod of Seb ciliij lialrd’a Successor to lit- D< tei iniiictl. Moxror, La., June 19.—The question of whether the Democrats of the Fifth congressional district select a candidate to succeed the late 8. T. Baird by con vention or by white primary will bo set tled on Monday, June 29. Yesterday evening John H. Parker, chairman of the Democratic congressional executive committee, received ihe following tele gram from Governor Foster, at Baton Rouge: “1 will order the election for congress man in your district to take place on Tuesday, Aug. 29.” This information was at once wired over the district to those who are most interested. Then Mr. Parker prepared a call for the meeting of the committee at Monroe on Monday, June 29, for the purpose of determining the time and manner of selecting a candidate to serve out the nnexnireu term of tho late S. T. Baird. While there are a number of the members of tho executive commit tee who favor selection by white prima ries, it is generally agreed that the com mittee will decide upon holding a con vention.
