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 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 saw
the absolute folly of continuing
the hopeless struggle and the
further sacrificing of the lives of
these brave but mistaken men,
and surrendered accordingly at
Appamattox on the 9th of April
1865.
The magnanimity of the con
querors toward the conquered
partly alleviated the sting of de
feat. When the Union Army
marched into Richmond they
found that the city was in flames
and Negro soldiers from the Un
ion army soon extinguished the
fire and stopped, the plunder be
gun by their masters. A similar
attempt had been made to burn
Charleston and Columbia, and
was partly successful. The white
people of the South -the ruling
class -proud, arrogant, self as
sertive,-though their leader,
John C. Calhoun, had attempted
more than three quarters of a
century ago to bring about se
cession and rebellion; but tnc
lynx-eyed man with the iron hand
was watching him ready to strike
him down. In that memorable
debate, called the battle of the
giants, South Carolina and Mas
sachusetts had crossed swords ir
the greatest forensic duel fou ghi
on American soil. With rhetori
cal brilliancy and power, Haync
the champion of the Southern
white people, had for two days
controlled the floor of the Unitec
States Senate; and with fluenl
and melodious elocution, with in
solent assurance, and plausiable
sophistry, backed by a band ol
bold and vindictive followers cor
founded almost every hearer
When he finished and sat down
the whole nation held its breatl
in suspense Then followed thi
outburst of acclaim on the parto
his friends throughout the south
On Tuesday January 26, 183i
-a day memorable ever a fte
Webster, like the war horse spo
ken of in the Scriptures, "wh
paweth in the valley, and rejoic
eth in his strength:" who goetl
on to meet the armed men wh
sayeth among the trumpets ha
ha! and who smalleth the battle
afar off, the the thunder of th*
captains and the shouting, aros
and addressed the Senate. "1
deep and thrilling Cadence a
waves upon the shore of the fa
resounding sea," his swarthy
countenance lighted up with ex
citement, like Vulcan in his ar
mor y forging thoughts for th
Gods", he soon had his auditor
spellbound. And then with pit
less logic, and eloquence unsui
passed he completely demolishe
he supposed impregnable struc
ure af his adversary and cap
ured the entire audience and the
?/hole countrv, voluntarily or in
pite of themselves, by the spell
>f his unsurpassed forensic elo
luence; closing with these mem
>rable words -"Liberty and Un
on, Now and For ever, One and
Inseparable," Webster had ov
nastered and vanquished Hayne.
Andrew Jackson had humbled
md 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
resen tatt ves is a Southern white
man.
The leader of the United States
Senate is a Southern white man,
Some' of tbs 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, Me appears to be
standing between Scylla and
Charybdis. But God is not asleep.
He is raising up even here among
the white people of the South,
friends who are gradually com
ing to our rescue and will \ p
us to fight our battles, It.
that immediately after the elec
tion of Jefferson Davis as presi
dent of the Southern Confedera
cy, a discussion arose as to the
symbol to be placed upon the seal
of th?-- state, and some one sug
gested a bale of cotton with a
Negro asleep upon it; and that
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 time
for him to again arouse him
self from his lethargy and sleep.
The first exhortation he received
was Kducate! Educate! The ex
hortation he must now heed is
Register! Register! Register!
God is on your side. Self respect
ing, liberty loving, God fearing
white people need Negroes of in
telligence and character and
possessing the proper qualifica
tions for citizenship to help them
redeem the South and particular
ly our own dear commonwealth
from political tricksters and dem
agouges. Listen! Listen! You
will soon hear the next exhorta
tion Vote! Vote! Vote! God
save the Negro! God save us of
the South! God save the com
monwealth of South Carolina!

'every particular, Mr. Ferguson
i the veteran undertaker, person
ally superintending the arrange
ments and exhibiting his usual
