can we leave our children and our chil

"fnformation, observation and refiec
tion for twenty-four years have con
vinced me that the war wouid nev
have been waged against the South e::
c -p. for the -profit there was in it, an(
t hat the agitation against us is carr
on since only for the pensions that ar
to be got. The war was a contractors
war, and the agitation is a bounty-pen
s!on agitation. Let therin write thei
own history, we have made ours!
"Iercenaries have enlisied in every
war since the beginning of time, and
they have their place. Fortitude, fidel
ity, endurance, devotion to high ideals
of truth aaa honor have their place too.
And in the days of trial that will surely
r:>me when belief in God, and truth,
and justice and right muststand against
worship of Mammon, lust of goid,
greediness and materialism, in defense
of the rights of the people against the
power of the plutoc-acy, then the whole
world will turn for assistance and relief
to the men whose ancestors, on so many
battlefields by so much blood and suf
fering and pover , testified their de
votion to liberty, to order, to truth and
right. Yours truly,
"BsA D ..;'r T. Jo 6os."
Is not this a most remarkabie sug
gest:ve incident? I leave it to sneak
for itself. I would much iather be the
dead lions who this shaft was intended
to commemorate than the '!ve animals
practic~cg the&r heels against the 2d
Maryland monument.
To my mind it appears almost fiend
ish. The hyena is the most cowardly
of all wild beasts, and yet the most
-ferocious-in the graves of the dead. He
has a counterpart, I think, in the "Abe
Patterson Post," and Governor Beave"
is not far behind them in invading the
graves of the dead Marylanders. He
is "srongly in favor of the Government
making an appropriation to erect mark
ers on the positions occupied by the
Confederate commands as a matter of
history." A "Government appropri
ation," you see, covers all the objections
to "treason and disloyalty," because
there is job in it for somebody in Peio
svlvania.
Bow "treason and disloyalty" is to
be "fostered" by accepting an invitation
i:om the "truly loyal" to erect a monu
ment -'as a matter of history," with an
P1[Pn.9 titaaW r'o
toned down lest the truth would wound
and shock the loyal heart, I cannot
comprehend. This incident is not with
out its value to us as an object lesson.
1 am happy ,o believe tbat the senti
ments expressed in these resolutions
and concurred in by Governor Beave
I are not shared by many of the hono:
rable soldiers of the North, especially
those who distinguished themselves so
conspicuously on the Gettysburg hattle
ijeld. They are suaficiently well sasih
fled with t beir ow-n achievements as to
be free from apprehension that they
will be marr'ed or tarnished by to
proximity of a monument of their
equally gallant opponents.
When we have monuments to erect
hereafter let's plant them on our own
soil. The presence of monuments to
worthy and gaP'ant Federal soldiers i.:
our midst will not give us the night
mare, or detract f:omn the sacredness of
our memorials, or the imperishable re
nown of our dead. We iniight widh
safety invite Federal "commands" to
erect monuments anywhere on the
fields of First and Second Mananses,
Mu rfreesboro' Frederic ksuur-g or Chic&
amauga, without fear of contaminating
the record of Lee's and leagg's legions
on those te'riiic battlefields. I believe
on each of them we buried our own
(lead, and the dead of the enemy as
well. 'Ma,sers e:ect:d as a matter of
b'story" by an "appropriatioa" u:om
Cong -ess woul!d not reveal many pos'
iloas on those fields within the Con
federate lines "captured'; by the Fede
rats, ojr even "occu.)ied." If there are
any such, let them be marked in accord
auce with the - uth of "'historv." It
the recordl miade by your galit regi
ment soould be consulted, no doubt
you could give valuable information as
to the location o& some of the lines oi

times been ca!led by the Le;;slatu.e of
that State, demands. in the oh'hio' of
the Ear of Newbe .y, aa expre- on of
seai meat.
Therefore, be it rcrolved by the D..
of Newberry:
1. That in the . etirement of Judge
Aid ich f -oi:i public life the State of
South Ca olina loses the services of an
officer who has coutr;buicu to that
system of laws w-ch is justly her
pride a ud boast, and has for years ad
minis;ered jusice-with the fearle'ness
and conscieniousness which are the
most honoi aule charac:er:stics of :her
judiciary.
II. That i be people of South Carolina
owe a lastin debiofgratit'de to Judge
Aldrich for his many years of devotion
to their inter.sts, and cspecially'for tis
courageous defense of their laws and
institut ions against ,ue encroachments
of m'litary Iyranav.
IL. That in the retirement of Judge
Aldrich, he wembe s of this Bar" e
(iep- ved of a jud;cial officer whose
couriesv and impartiality at all times
rendered him most welcome to us and
most fg eeable both in official aid in
priva.e life.
1V. That a copy of there resolutions
be presented to nis Hoagr,. the retiring
Judge, by the cha;rmau of this meeting,
d that the Court of Common Plea:

REOLUT.6o-C ON 'iH DEATH OF JAS.
L. BLEASE.
Death h:n3 recently remov- d from
cur midst ou: friend and brothe , James
L. Blease, who for several ye.t; s had
been i h such a state of health as to for
bid his e .gaging in Jhe active du. ies of
h:s profession.
Jam-s L. Elease was adm:tted to the
Bar in 1875, and before the fa, al hand
of dise se had been fad upon h'mgave
prom ise of usefulness and distinction
i is chosen profession. Though his
active career at the Bar was short he
had exhibited ma*Jy of the qualities
that make tue successful practii.ioner.
He was eairnest and indus. :ous in the
preparation of his cases a&nd bold, fear
less aud zealous in presenG ag h's
client ,' claims.
As a man and as an assc elate, James
L. Blease possessed 'many am'able
qualilies. His moss marked and dis
tingu'shi ng chair..eristie; were h's
k:ndness of hea:'i a :d gentlenc:s of dis
posiLion. lHe was instinctively honor
able, cou -t -ous and considera,e of the
feelings of ot bera, and in his b:'ef
career had won the esteem and respect
of 1, s breth -en of the Bar.
WVHEREAS. The Supreme Judge of
a'1 tihe eartn has see a fit to remove our
brother James L. Ele. se f:om the scen a
1d labors of this life, therefore be it
Reso'red, T bat we deeply lament his
early and untimely death.
Resr'cee , Tha~t the Bar of Newbarry
has lost a member whc3e career, but
for thie destroy.'ng h:-ud of d:sease,
would have been one of usefuln' :s and
distinction.
R~'ovrd, That our hear:'elt sym

their sore be -eavemeni.
J'eso'veu, Tha. the Court of Common

The ever-recurring and apparently'
everlasting case of the State vs. Robert
T. Jone, has occupied another four
days of our Sessions Court, made an
other gaping hole In 'our county..z
chequer, opd resulted in another and
a fourthmistrial. Againwearetempted
to e:.ciaim: "How long, O Lord, hqw
long !"
To us there is a puzzle, an ime
cable hitcb, in the causeor reasonfe
this failure to agree pon some.srt a
verdict. - The d.ad itself wasoerianI.
a horrible one, and its efeet upon ,
communit
test:imony upon the stand, and -by '
which, of course, the jury are to -be
guided, did not, does not, and cannot
difer greatly from what has already
become a household sto y throughe
out the county. Then what Is it, we
ask again, that causes this obstinat'.
and hcpeless hitch in the jury? Isit
the inmpossibillsy of honesty and dis
honesty, of responsibility and Irrespoh- '
sibility, likeoll and water,. to mL, tio
become reconciled? Hardly so because
we have had uim whom we know'to
be perfeetlyr honest, or whom we have
always behteved so, to tell.us that, from
the tesimony, hey could not Isay
"gulty." And, as is a well knowuact
ini the histoi y of the case, the men.who
stand out for conviction are not only
high types of cit'zenship In their r
spectivecommuntae,-but are without
rearoach'and absolutely reliable.
..'e law, we beleve, Is'not compli
cated in its application. 1I. Is always
fu'Jy, plainly and impartialypesentd
as itcertainly was last week by his
Honor. Judge Norton, who. has now .''
heard the case twice. The facts andl
the law ame always, as they were this
time, eloquently and exhaustively
argued and impressed by the attorneys I
on both sides.
Evidently there isso beyond,
strong but seemingly ina l,like
notes in the air, floating continuously
throughout ihe different sec'ions of -
our county, unifying Into an.apparent
irreconcilable public sendiment, pro.
and con., which would seem to.prefude
all ebane sofagreemeat wheu left to a
jury composed as it is, of men of diftfbr. j
ent temperaments,di7erent views,and
com'ng froi dizrnt sections. -
Then why not let the matter be dio
e:ded, at least passed upon, In another
and endirely diiferent atmosphed
Take it away :o some odher county,
some other Court room, where this
enerusted irrecone'lability mynot
ex'st, and where, in allprbbly
the arene impartiality ofdsnerse
ness can conclude tai. serious matter,
which for its drain and dragupon us
