“ENVY, HATRED AND MALICE”
Oue of tbe veritable symptoms of
approaching old age is excessive
garrulity. As the shades of eveu-
ing are drawing the long life to a
close and the future is hut a xhort
span while the pat-t ad -ids a long
period for reflection, the ma,n iu his
decline, invariably offers his views
to an uusoliciting public. Prattling
is always an accompaniment of the
mind of old age. Thitris the case
with Gen. William Tecuinseh Sher
man. He has nearly reached three
score years and ten, the aWted
time of man, and as a consequence
the idle prattlings of this old man
are continually being thrust upon a
suffering people.
In his latest attempt at criticism
he nscs tbe negro os the instrument
with which he vents hts spleen
upon a people against whom bo
seems to have sworn eternal hatred.
We publish elsewhere Gen. Sher
man’s article not for the truth it
contains, for it is absolutely devoid
of that essential quality, but only
to show the bitterness which is ad
ded to hatred by the cynicism and
decrepitude of old age.
It is needless to enter into a long
disquisi-ion to prove tbe errors iu
the statements made by this self-
appointed critic of Southern polit
ical morals. Hia assertions are ab
solutely and unqualifiedly false,
and tbey only tend to impress
those, whom he undertakes to reps
rimand, with the fact that he will
carry his hatred to the grave, dy
ing, as be lived, an enemy of the
South.

tantsand bariug two biiiki b viirtea

to s.iy thot tboie does ^--m io be a
deplorable lock of in'eiest taken

is with regret that we feel called
upon to note this fact, but such
apathy in a matter of so m-iterial
importance to the present and fu
ture welfare of our town causes
gi uuine regret. That a (listing
