Expunee the RECORD.

The New York Herald seconds the mo-
ton of Senator Sumner to strike from the
United States flags and the Army Regis
ter all records of battles fought with fel-
low citizens. The editor asks: +.
"Why should American citizens wish
to persetuate the emblens and records Of
our national misfortune? Why keep alive
the hatred that was engendered by the
civil war when the combatants are and
must continue to be one people? To do
30 would DE unchristian-ike, ungenerous
and highly impolitic 1t would serve no
good purpose whatever, and would only
crafty sectional and personal vanity at
the sacrifice Of nobler and better sentl-
ments. Every celebration of victories In
our civil war, by emblems on the flags,
by combinations or associations Of the
victors, by parades, gatherings or public
dinners, or in any other way, is wrong;
Mr.. Summers bill ought to be passed
unanimously by Congress, and at once
Mr.. Sumner may be sincere IN his de-
sire to obliterate "the emblems and re-
cords of our national misfortune" and re-
store the sentiments of amity and frater-
aity which once dwelt in the hearts OF the
American people, and which constituted
the all-pervading, vitalizing source Of
their greatness, prosperity and happiness,
But to effectually accomplish his object
he must 90 farther back and deeper down
than to the battle flags Of the late civil
war. He must go back and down to the
causes which led to that fratricidal strife
TO the false doctrines, the violated faith
and sectional prejudices that engendered
it. Let him unteach the political errors
and higher-law heresies which he and his
colleagues, in the forum, the pulpit and
the press, labored quarter of century
to instill into the minds Of their people
let him and them cease to assume the vice
gerehcy of heaven on earth, and leave
others, under their convictions OF right, to
work out their own salvation-and no one
will object to the inscriptions on the bat,
tie flags of the war, no one of which need
cause q Southern cheek to blush. They
tell of bloody strife between overwhelm-
ing might and conscious right. of a heroic
but unsuccessful defence of the principles
| of constitutional liberty, but they reflect
no honor upon the victors that IS not
equally shared by the vanqulshed. Let
the emblems and records of our national
misfortune" remain. They teach lesson
by which generations to- come may profit.
Let the faithlessness, the usurpation, the
wrongs and outrages which caused the
bloody conflict which they commemorate
be obliterated by the restoration of a vlo-
lated Constitution, with the sacred rights
and liberties of the people of the. States
which it was framed to preserve and per-
petuate. Through such atonement true
craftsmanship will seek oblivion Of the
past and concord in the future.-Savan-
nah NeUs.

Search UP Your Cotton Tax Records.
All our people, the cotton planters es-
pecially, remember the memorable three
years of tho unheard-of cottoE tax.
There seems to he but little doubt now
that bill will pass Congress before long,
to refund all this money, amounting in
the whole to scventy.tivc millions-now
lying in the Treasury of the United
States. The bill most 1ikcly.to pass Cn-
troduced by Representative Mcintyre,
of Georgia), provides that the quota due
each State shall be lodged with the Gov
ernor of said State, and by him distribu-
ted among the claimants. The quota OF
South Carolina will be s., liz, 420, l6.'
Therefore 1t would be wise for our
people to begin to think of their claims
and get them in tangible shape. 1t seems
to us that there must necessarily be con-
siderable confusion and uncertainty in
the matter, but the books and atlidavits
of factors might perhaps bring all right.
Four millions and u half ofdollars would
be a God-send to South Corolina just
now.
And when this cotton tax is refunded,
the Government ought to begin to think
seriously of paying us for our negroes.
The negroes were just us much our prop
erty as the co ton. Nor was it our fault
that we were in possession Of them.

presideut Grants Salary.

There is a movement in Congress to
increase the Presidents salary from
1925. 900 to $4,000. The N. Y. World, in

So that the Presidents real salary and

nothing of ho;lSc-rent and numberless

seem to be en"ugb. but we suppose it
will be increased soon to SSS.OOO-or

The Louisiana Committee Address the
People.


The committee of citizens from Louis
lana who went on to Washington lately,
to ask at the hands Of the Government
calm and impartial examination OF the
recent extraordinary events within their
borders, and who were coldly refused a
hearing by the President, have issued
from Washington, lengthy address to
the people of the whole country. This
address is bold and sterling paper,
representing in the strongest and clear
est manner the unsettled and distracted
condition of Louisiana, and still de-
manding to be heard by the President,
the Administration, and the people, be-
fore the subversion of their State Gov
ernment by Federal interventionis is COM
plete and irremediable. And thepeople
will read this address and be struck with
its force and truth. Louisiana is at pres
ent politically convulsed and CONNER
cially paralyzed. Commercial men at
the North are beginning to lose money
by Mr.. Grants little partisan 'whims.
And this is one thing they will not
stand. Grants pet, the acting Governor
of Louisiana, young mulatto named
Pinchback, may be a very useful and
interesting fellow to his master, but the
powerful business men of the North will
not be apt to see it in this light. Presi-
dent Grant should cease to set aside the
majority votes of Southern States when
the result does not please him. Did the
people of Louisiana choose McEnery as
Governor, or did they choose Kellogg?
Whomsoeverth they chose should be allow
ed peaceably to qualify and take the Elk
ecutiye chair.

Thursday afternoon, span Of horses be

burlington attached to hay wagon, stand
ing without a driver at the corner,sf Church
and College streets, suddenly took fright
from some unexplained cause, and ran.
They took at once the sidewalk on the south

stone steps of the FREE Pass building,
narrowly missing the stoves in front Of G..

sugar standing in front of Weston, Jones
Il Brothers. which rolled into the street
carrying away the wooden steps of Walton
harness shop, and dashing on at full speed
past Leayenworth Block to White street,
where they turned and ran straight into the
wall OF the City Market-which, Of co lrse,
brought them up with n sudden halt. The
pole Of the wagon was driven two or
three inches into the solid brick wall, and
the horses fell on the platform and were
easily secured. Teams were hitched to al
most every post between Church ard White
streets. but, fortunately, none were struck
or took fright, and the foot pas engers on
the sidewalk all got warning in time "a
save themselves. One horse hg.d his knee
cut, and both were probably somewhat
bruised. This, with the uninte ntional sand.
ing ola few pounds of sugar, which wa:
dumped into the street by the head of tn,
barrel falling out, comprises the list o
damages.
