Gen. E. W. Moise's Tribute
to the South's Greatest
Soldier and Citizen.
The following address was deliv
ered by Gen. Moise at the Lee Me?
morial Exercises at the Graded
School. January 19th:
Ladies and Gentlemen : This day
has been set apart by tue State of
South Carolina as a public holiday,
and this occasion has been appropri?
ately selected for the purpose of in?
structing the lat gre number of the
youth of this city and county in tho
reasons . which have induced tho
State to make this day one of almost
religious observance. It is import
ant thai the young people of this
country should be impressed with the
grandeur and nobility of the man
who was born on tin's day, ninety
years ago, who lived sixty-three
years, and died as we shah show,
leaving behind him a reputation and
a name which is the brightest jewel
in the cro^n of In's native Sute, ttie
mother of States and statesmen
We are not here to deliver a pane?
gyric unon Robert E Lee "The
living man scorned fulsome adulation
and his living spirit, if permitted to
be with us now, would reject with
scorn any testimonia1 which could
not bear the scrunity of time and the
pure test of truth.'' The character
of Gen Lee can gain nothing from
what we may say here to day. We
are not hero worshippers, but we
adopt the beautiful thought with
which Mr. Hammond opened his
noble eulogy upon South Carolina's
greatest son, John C Calhoun Mr
Hammond said : "Faith is itu in
stinct of the human heart, its st.r<>n<r
est, ils purest and i's noblest in
stinct : the parent of love and of
hope, in all ages and everywhere.
Mankind have adored and put their
trust in the great Ruler of the uni
verse, and descending from the holy
and infinite to the human and finito,
they have entertained the samo senti
merits, differing only in degree for
those of their own race who have
especially beet! endowed with an ex?
traordinary degree of intellect or of
virtue. The ancient heathen deified
them : amongst the early Christians
they were enrolled among the saints.
It is a shallow and a base philosophy
which finds superstition in such
usage only, and fails to recognize the
working of a profound admiration
and veneration for the attributes of
God as manifested in His favorite
creations." With strict truth and
simple, unadorned statement we pro
pose to demonstrate to these children
here assembled and to all our audi
once that Robert Edmund Loo stood
in til*1 front of gifted mortals, either
of this or of any other age, and we
propose to prove it by the unbiased
testimony of the civilized world

; keep this promise, and the summer oi
186-J closed with Grant beseiging the j

Commentiation of Gov.
EHerbe.
Gen. M. C. But'er Considers
. Him Honest and Patriotic
and Predicts Peace
and Prosperity.
To the State.
WASHINGTON*. D. C , Jan. 20.-I
cannot resist the impulse to say a
word of commendation of the inau?
gural address of Governor Ellerbe.
It is most excelcnt in style and the
tone and temper and matter of it is
above criticism.
Of course I do not agree with him
in his endorsement of the dispensary.
That institution is, rn my opinion,
radically and fundamentally wrong; in
principle, and indefensible in prac?
tice, but Governor Ellerbe discusses
it with the fairness and frankness of
patriotic conviction and therefore
w-ill command the respect and confi?
dence of these who do not agree
with him
The address of Governor Ellerbe
is in most refreshing contrast, with the
screeds that have been fulminated by
his imm?diat" predecessors, and the
good people of the State are certainly
to be congratulated on the improve?
ment it: their chief executive officer,
and the harbinger of a decent, digni?
fied administration, wine's the recent
inauguration promises.
Lie Ou?ht to have the cordial
port of ail good citizens, and. I
will receive it Taxati >n has
increased without, as it seems to me,
compensative benefits commensurate
with the increase. Public offices
have been multiplied beyond the
number needful fur good administra?
tion, and sources of revenue have
been recklessly impaired that might
have been fostered and secured, but
we have assurances now that the
St it-1 government will address itself,
patriotically, to bringing about hon?
est reforms where evils are discov?
ered, instead of fomentiug discord
and inviting' antagonisms among tie
people.
I predict for Governor, Ltlerbe a
