Remarks of General Wade Hampton on the
Death OF General Lee.
The following was delivered at a public
meeting in Columbia, S. c.:
FELLOW CITIZENS: We are called together
to-day by an announcement which will cause
profound sorrow throughout the civilized
world, and which COMES to us bearing the ad-
ditional grief of n personal and private be-
reavement. The foremost man of all the
world Is no more; and as that news is carried
by the speed of lightning through every town
and village and hamlet of this land which he
loved SO well, and amongst those people who
loved and honored and venerated him SO pro-
foundly, every true heart in the stricken
South will feel that the country has lost its
pride and glory, and that the citizens of that
country have lost father / dare not VEN
ture TO speak of him as / feel. Nor do we
come to eulOgizc him. Not only wherever
the English language is spoken, but wherever
civilization extends, the sorrow-a part. at
least, Of the sorrow we feel--wilI be felt. and
more eloquent tongues than mine will tell the
fame, and recount the virtues, of Robert L.
Lee. We need not come to praise him. We
come only to express our sympthy, our grief,
our bereavement. We come not to mourn
iIimI, ivt va know that it is we'll with him.
We come only to extend our sympathy to
those who are bercaved.
Now that he is fallen, may mention what
/ have never spoken of before, 10 show YOU
not only what were the feelings that actuated
him i'll the duty to which his beloved country
men called him, but what noble sentiments
inspired him, when he saw the cause for
which he had been fighting so long about to
perish. Just before the surrender, after n
night devoted To the most arduuus duties. AS
one of his staff came in To see him in the
morning, he found him worn and weary and
disheartcned, and the General said To him:
"lfow easily / could get rid Of this and be nj
rest. have only TO ride along the line, and
all will he over. But" said he--and there
spoke the Christian pntriot--'it is our duty to
live, for what will become of the women and
children Of the South if We are not here to
protect them That same spirit of duty
which had actuatcd him through all the perils
and all the hnrdships Of that unequal conflict
which hc had vagcd so heroicalIy-that same
high spirit of duty told him that he must live

emplar, the Father of his Country" that he

The radical tendency to Capitalization Is
attested again by the naturalization bill,
which virtually throws the control of elec.
tious into the hands of the dominant party,
which will henceforth maintain q special
federal police to watch the interests OF the
radical party. 1t will be the duty OF
this police force to challenge and exclude
every foreign born citizen who attemps to
vote anything but the radical ticket, and
it will also be expected that they shall assist
in the naturalization of men for the purpose
of voting the radical ticket.

credit to the Empire for its army, and by
the weakness Of the Army the Empire
