The $200 paid in? cluded the whole purchase money, and some of the expenses incident to the transfer. Jor? dan Dicks only got his proportionate share of the amount paid.

Last Thursday, the 10th of May, was j appropriately observed by our citizens as ! Memorial Day. Places of business were ! closed at 4 o'clock, and the Sumter Light Infantry and the committee of ladies and i little girls with flowers assembled at Armory Hall soon- after that bonr The S. L. I., marched from the Hall to the Cemetery and the ladies and girls rode in large wagons. At the Cemetery the precession was formed with the S. L. I., In front, the Confederate Veterans following, beaded by Col J. D. Graham. Commander of Dick Anderson Campt, ?. C. V. A halt was made near the stand, and after I'prayer by Rev. N> W. Edmunds, D. D , the I graves were decorated by the little girls. Dr. J. A. Mood, who presided, introduced in a few well-chosen words, the orator of the day, Rev. J. W. Daniel, who spoke as fol? lows : ADDRESS OF MR. DANIEL. At the recent unveiling of a monument to Major General John B. Magruder, C. S. A., at Galveston, Texas, the oration was deliver? ed by Geo. T. N. Waul, who said : "The day is not distant-its dawu is near-wben thc conduct of the Confederate States in their sublime contests for right will be admired, honored, and .justified by all who have the facts before them and the nobleness to appre? ciate love of country, patriotic conduct, and gallant hearing." We were defeated, but honorably defeated so far as the South is concerned. History, I veribly believe, will one day accord to the Southern people that place in the annals of nations which justly belongs to us. The future historian, divested of that prejudice and partiality which have characterized the j writers of history since the war, will be J driven by the record itself, which the North ! ern historians have left us, to investigate j more fully the one-sided statements, which j have passed for twenty years already as facts, j When one reads the commonly received ? histories of that great civil struggle in which I these soldiers whose graves we decorate to j day, fell, he is impressed with the inferiority I of Southern arms as compared with the North ! ern soldiery : and the question very naturally arises in his mind as to bow it was possible for the Confederate troops to keep from under the triumphing war-chariot of the North for four long years. Even where there is no possibility of denying a victory won by Southern arms, an amule excuse bas been invented by the fertile brains of Northern writers to cover all the shame of defeat. I have been amused at the statements of some Northern historians relative to the disastrous defeat of the Union army at first Manas9as. The statement is gravely paraded that the Union army was composed of ''raw, undis? ciplined militia" and that therefore it was routed ; as if the Southern soldiery bad not been even more raw sind undisciplined. Such statements, I say, as these, will drive the future historian to investigations which will result in giving to Southern soldiers that praise and glory which is jusly due to them, and to us their descendants. Henry Watterson, in some strictures re? lative to the Southern Confederacy published in the Cbautauquao of May, 1892, says: "Once, in Prais, Mr. Slidell told methat Louis Napoleon had said to bim, in sub? stance: 'France sincerely desires the success of the Confederacy. So does England. We have -our interests with respect to Mexico. The English have their American possessions. Both are menaced by the United States. But neither England nor France dare go before the world as the backers of a power based upon African slavery. We do not ask or expect the confederacy to abolished slavery. All that we ask is a guarantee that in a term of years-say twenty-the institution shall pass ont of existence by the process of gradual emancipation. Give us this, and we can call a congress of the nations with some assurance of co-operation in a general European plan of intervention. Otherwise we could not even rely upon our own people.' " This proposition, made through Mr. Slidell to the Confederate authorities at Richmond, was positively rejected. Mr. Watterson seems to think that from that moment the Confederacy was doomed ; that henceforth "illogical it could not stand as an argument." The short-sightedness of some brainy men is startling ! If the Confederate government bad accepted the proposition of Louis Napo? leon then I for one, would have been ashamed to own that I am a Southron. Would that distinguished editor have bad the South to have forever perpetuated the false? hood that the Southern Confederacy was a power based on African Slavery? What Southerner to-day is not glad that the South did not purchase her independence at the j price of dishonesty and falsehood? Every true Southern man must feel prouder of the fact that his fathers did not pusillanimously j accede and assent to a vile slander, than he ' would have felt if their arms had been ! victorious over the soldiery of the North. The time will come when impartial historians shall write pages of our country's annals, and then the fact that the Confederacy chose to die a martyr to principle, rather than become the dupe of a concession, will coo j stitute one of the brightest jewels in the crown j of Southern history. The same critic arraigns Mr. Davis for not j accepting the proposition of Mr. Lincoln, . made to Messrs. Stephens, Campbell, and I Hunter, the representatives of the Confederate j i government, at the famous Hampton Roads I I conference. Mr. Lincoln said : "Write Union I at the top of its page; and you can write I under it whatever you piesse. Mr. Watterson j says : "It is inconceivable bow a man in Mr. \ j Davis's position, knowing what he knew of the ? j country and the military establishment of the j i South, could have refused such an offer. It i i j would be incredible, except; that it is true." ! ; What true Southerner is not glad that Mr. 1 ! Davis did not accept that proposition ? ; I Because it is more disgraceful and humili?t- ? ? ing to be defeated by the shrewd manipu- | ; lati?os of offering counsellors than it is to be j j overcome by overpowering numbers on the I bloody field of battle. No polished stone, so ? : to speak, will ever eclipse in brilliancy that i jewel set in the crown of Confederate history ! j by the band of her chiefest enemy : the fact j that the chief magistrate of the United State3 ; virtually conceded, at Hampton Roads, i every principle for which we fought, and then J tried to bribe the Confederacy back into the j i Union ! We as a Southern people, are glad | that oo compromise was made, that tl Southern Confederacy fought to the bitti end for the rights which were justly due hp Right and principle are dearer to every tri man than victory on the bloody field of ba tie. There is nothing in Confederate histor to be ashamed of but much to admire : and n truth ever furnished a more brilliant settin in any nation's history than the two camec to which we have just alluded and wbtc have been criticised as mistakes. I have looked upon the gravestones in som Df our national cemeteries, placed there a great expense to the national government t perpetuate the lasting restiog place of thos who fell fighting under tbe United Stat? flag, and although ? am thoroughly a South erner. no sentiment of opposition to th i enormous expenditure of national funds ba ever arisen in my heart; for if ever any DA tion has been brought under obligation t her soldiery for the protection and preserve tion of ber national colors, that nation is tb United States of America. For Confedera! soldiers, backed by the poverty of the Soot and inspired by convictions of right, cam very near plucking the stars and stripes frot the capitol at Washington on more occa sions than one; and thus they sent rollin; over the North such a wave of "fear am trembling" that many of the more timid kin have not recovered from it to 'bis day. Tb funeral of a Confederate general, the intei ment of Jefferson Davis, or any such occasio in the South, frequently brings down upo us a shriek of horror and a perfect tirade c abuse from the Northern press. It is not matter of surprise tbat such should be tb case; but upon the other hand, it is a forset admission of the real valor and braver which the Northern people really accord t the Southern soldiery, and which they ar ashamed otherwise to admit. The fact tba these innocent occasions sometimes call fort the groundless charge, even at this late day that there yet remains in the hearts of tb Southern people the smoldering fires of re bellion, together with tbe fact that nine tenths of the brave fellows, who fought oi either side, sleep to-day io Southern soil, ar two potent factors in history, wbicb sont future historian will use in demolishing tb one-sided misrepresentations, which are bonn tifully prevalent to-day, of that brave strug? gle for Southern rights, in wbicb so many o our heroic citizens fell. Tbese two tacts an pillars of history. Tbe frequent bowl of tb? Northern press, tbe palpable suppression o historical facts, and the gross misrepresenta tions of great historical troths prove con elusively that Northern, writers have nevei regarded the South as honestly and fair! j conquered : because they see tbe justice of t h( claims for which we fought, and the addi tional fact tbat their dead sleep under South' ern skies, must forever publish tbe fact to al coming generations that they were the invaden and that tbe Sooth fought for the protection of ber country, ber property, and ber bornes Blot out all else of our history, and these facts alone would beget io tbe minds of future historians a conviction that our cause though lost, was a just cause. In 1853 a pedigree research led Sir Bernard Burke, of England, to pay a visit to the town of Finderne. He sought, it is recorded, for the ancient ball, not a stone remained tc tell where it had stood. He entered the church; not single record of Finderne wae there. He accosted a villager, boping to glean from him some stray traditions of the Finder nea. "Findernes 1" exclaimed tbe villager," we have no Findernes here; but we bave something that once belonged to the Fin? derenes, we have Finderne flowers." "Show me them," exclaimed Sir Bernard Burke; and tbe old villager immediately led him into a field, once the site of Geoffrey Finderne's castle: there still remained faint traces of terraces and foundations. The once magni? ficent castle bad crumbled to dost, and the ploughshare of the farmer turned up the sod upon wbicb was once located the ancient hall of tbe Findernes. "There," said the villager pointing to a bank of garden flowers grown wild, "there are the Finderne's flowers, brought by Sir Geoffrey from the holy land; and do what we will, they will never die!" So the sharp ploughshare of hatred and pre? judice has been driven through the brilliant record of Confederate scholarship and of Southern rights; but do what they will, tbe flowers of chivalry and brilliant military genius planted by Confederate soldiers, and watered by the best blood ef the South will never die." After the oration which was greatly enjoyed by all present, three salutes were fired by the S. L. I., the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Edmunds, and the crowd dispersed. Council Proceedings. At the regular meeting yesterday afternoon, a resolution offered by Alderman Delgar was adopted and bas been embodied in an ordinance for the enforcement of the law of the State as construed by the Supreme Court regarding the sale of spirituous liquors. This ordinance will be found elsewhere in this paper. A petition from citizens of Ward 2 was pre? sented asking for the extension of tbe water main on Calhoun Street to New Street. The petition was granted and same referred to the .Mayor with power to act. - ? ? Hf Bicycle Club Races.
