Grant, Lee, Appomattox April 9, 1865-April9, 1914 Forty-nine years ago day be fore yesterday, Lee the Confed erate Chieftain, surrendered at Appomattox Court Hous i to Grant, the Captain of the Union army, and the greatest war of modern times was ended. Gathering about him his best troops and most trusted offi cers, Lee had contested every inch of ground in his efforts to protect the fall of Richmond and the dismemberment of the south ern Confederacy. His skirmish es, attacks and retreats had been executed with consumatec skill; but opposed by superior numbers and with God Almighty against him, with his army half starved, half clad and disintegrating, with the Southern Confederacy subiugated in the Southerner's heart and the president of the Confederacy, fleeing in dis guise from place to place, he sav* the absolute folly of continuing the hopeless struggle and th? further sacrificing of the lives oj these brave but mistaken men, and surrendered accordingly a Appamattox on the 9th of Apri 1865. The magnanimity of the con querors toward the eonquere( partly alleviated the sting of de feat. When the Union Arm: marched into Richmond the: found that the city was in flame; and Negro soldiers from the Un ion army soon extinguished th fire and stopped, the plunder be gun by their masters. A simila attempt had been made to buri Charleston and Columbia, an< was partly successful. The whit people of the South-the rulinj class -proud, arrogant, self as serti ve,-though their leader John C. Calhoun, had attempter more than three quarters of century ago to bring about se cession and rebellion; but tn lynx-eyed man with the iron han was watching him ready to strik him down. In that memora bl debate, called the battle of th giants, South Carolina and Mai sachusetts had crossed swords i the greatest forensic duel fougri on American soil. With rhetor cal brilliancy and power, Hayn the champion of the Souther white people, had for two day controlled the floor of the Unite States Senate; and with fluer and melodious elocution, with ir soient assurance, and plausiabl sophistry, backed by a band c bold and vindictive followers co founded almost every hearei When he finished and sat dowr the whole nation held its breat in suspense Then followed tr outburst of acclaim on the partx his friends throughout the soutl On Tuesday January 26, 18i -a day memorable ever aft? Webster, like the war horse sp ken of in the Scriptures, "wi paweth in the valley, and rejoi eth in his strength:" who goel on to meet the armed men wi sayeth among the trumpets h ha! and who smelteth the batt afar off, the the thunder of tr captains and the shouting, aro and addressed the Senate. "] deep and thrilling Cadence ? waves upon the shore of the f ? resounding sea," his swarth countenance lighted up with e citement, like Vulcan in his a mory forging thoughts for tl Gods", he soon had his audito spellbound. And then with pi less logic, and eloquence unsu passed he completely demolish? ?he supposed impregnable struc ture ef his adversary and cap tured the entire audience and the whole countrv, voluntarily or in spite of themselves, by the spell of his unsurpassed forensic elo quence; closing with these mem orable words-"Liberty and Un ion, Now and For evei*, One and Inseparable." Webster had ov mastered and vanquished Hayne. Andrew Jackson had humbled and subdued John C. ' Calhoun But the leprosy of slavery was in the blood of the South. Hu man slavery "the sum of all vil lanies," caused the war. When Lee surrendered, the black south was freed,, the white south whip ped but not conquered. What it lost a half century ago in a con test with bullets it has partly re gained in a contest with ballots. To day a southern white man is president of the United States Five of the white men who con stitute his cabinet are Southern ers. The leader of the House of Rep resentatives is a Southern white man. The leader of the United States Senate is a Southern white man, Some1 of the most brilliant and most influential members of the two branches of Congress are bitter and unscrupulous southern white Negro haters. A majority of the governors and legislators in the south, all white, are equally as bitter and vengeful. The Negro constitutes a major ity of the population of the south, but is absolutely without repre sentation, He appears to be standing between Scylla and Charybdis. But God is not asleep. 11 He is raising up even here among the white people of the South, friends who are gradually com ing to our rescue and will help us to fight our battles, It is said that immediately after the elec tion of Jefferson E)avis as presi dent of the Southern Confedera cy, a discussion arose as to the symbol to be placed upon the seal of the state, and some one sug gested a bale of cotton with a Negro asleep upon it; and thal Jefferson Davis exclaimed "What if that Negro should wake up?" He did wake up about fifty years ago, and then soon fell a sleep again- It is now high tim? for him to again arouse him self from his lethargy and sleep The first exhortation he receivec was Educate! Educate! The ex hortation he must now heed is Register! Register! Register God is on your side. Self respec ing, liberty loving, God fearing white people need Negroes of in telligence and character anc possessing the proper qualifica tions for citizenship to help then redeem the South and particular ly our own dear common we alt! from political tricksters and den agouges. Listen! Listen! Yoi will soon hear the next exhorta tion Vote! Vote! Vote! Goc save the Negro! God save us o the South! God save the com monwealth of South Carolina!
