u The Hon. Kenneth Rayner publishes a
letter in the Raleigh Progress denying the truth
of a statement which first appearedsin the N. 7.
Tribune. that he had written letter to some one
in the North accusing the southern people of
cruel treatment of freedmen. Mr. Rayner says:
II have written no such letter the one thus
spoken of. wrote a letter, some weeks since,
to an old Philadelphia friend. now in Washing
ton, in which / attempted to describe to him the
sad and impoverished condition of the South. But
I said nothing of any cruelty with which the
freedmen were treated; did say anything
which could be so construed. The friend alluded
to suggested to me, in reply the idea of having
the letter published, and asking my consent to
the same. finally wrote to him agreeing to.its
publication, if he considered it worthy of such
notice"
Mr. Rayner says the letter will soon be publish
ed. and will set forth his views in regard to the
war; its cause and results.
We grati6ed that Mr. Rayner is able To-
clear himself of the charge, and when his letter
comes to hand we shall copy it, orportions of it,
and again refer to his position public affairs.

OBITUARY..


Mrs. Margaret Logan, consort of Mr. R. Fl. Aber-
nethy and second daughter of Mr. James and Mrs.
Margaret Martin was born in Mecklenburg County,
n c., Nov: 5th, 1904, married April 18th 1881, and
died at her home in Lincolnton, September 18th,
1865. In infancy she was dedicated TO God in holy
baptism; in the eleventh year of her age she ac-
knowledged her membership in the NJ. E. Church
and professed saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
For halfa century she was a consistent and an ex-
emplary member Of the Church. Her most promi-
nent christian characteristic deep humility of
heart and contrition of spirit. She entertained
the highest possible views of the sancty of the
dinances of the Church, and several times failed to
partake of the sacrament of the Lords Supper on
the plea of personal uuwortbiness. In many re-
spects her modesty amounted almost to a fault. Her
temperament comparatively even, never much
elated nor much depressed
For more than thirty years She suffered from
Bronchitis; and for sixteen months prior TO her
death she was confined mairly to her room. During
this time she suffered much, yet she never marmur-
ed but realized in her experience that all things
were working together for her eterpal good TWO
days before her death, her Pastor was worshiPpIng
with her. and she expressed the strongest confidence
10 the mercy of God and praised Him for the rich
ness freeness and uness of the gospel of His grace
She has pa9eed away from earth. sill she lives in
the memory of her relatives and friends, and her
spirit doubtless lives with God in heaven. We feel
that our loss is her eternal gain Peace be TO her
mortal remains, until the glorons morn of the first
resurrection E. G. GAGE

| RIGHT AND PRoPER.-We do not consider il
improper for the southern people or their State
Conventions to petition President johnson for
the release and pardon of Jefferson Davis. II
cannot be considered disloyal for any of to ex-
press desire for bis release. from confinement.
Mr. Davis was called by a unanimous vote of the
Southern States to preside over the government
they set up. and whenhe entered upon the duties
of his Office applauded and praised by all our
people. He sacrificed all his worldly goods for
the cause he and all of ussespoused. And now.
since adversely has overtak en- him. and while he
is held prisoner, is it manly in US to refuse
to make respectful petition in his behalf to the
authorities of the United States. We are conf:
dent that the great mass of the southern people
intend honestly to observe their obligations to
support the Union of the States hereafter, but we
just confident that it would rejoice their
hearts to know that Jefferson Davis was pardon
ed and set at liberty. It would do much towards
restoring good feeling and promoting that peace
which we all now desire shall be lasting and per-
manent
The fact is. jeff. Davis is more to blame
than thousands of other citizens of the South.
Many who are now. enjoying their liberty, pro-
pertX and family circle, advocated secession be-
IOEe DdVlS consented 10 WltnurdW from tHe
U. S. Senate. Nearly every man in the South
joined hands with Mr. Davis in efforts to establish
the Confederacy; and is it wrong to express sym
pathy for him after urging him in the work of
secession? We think not.
Although we did all we could to sustain the
Confederacy, claim to be as loyal to the
Government under which we live as any one
we expect to observe in5good faith the promises
we have mada-it is our duty and interest to sup
port the Government of the United States as long
as we live in the country-but we do not hesitate
to express the wish that Jefferson Davis may be
liberated and pardoned, for we believe that such
q course oItthe part of the authorities would re-
suit in good te the whole country.
1t is right and proper to petition the President
in behalf Of jefferson Davis, and we commend
the action of the South Carolina Convention in
appointing a committee to visit the President in
regard to the matter. While southern men are
asking for clemency for themselves individually,
it cannot be considered improper to ask bless
ing for thoseswho co-operated with them.
