Warrenton IN. C.) Gazette: Mr.. Curran,
who had charge of Mr.. Thomas Flemming's
mill, near Gardner's Church, took his hammer
and went down under the large water wheel to
wedge up some of the machinery. This was
while the mill was grinding. Soon after his
disappearance the mill stopped, and an inyes-
tigation revealed the horrid spectacle of Mr..
Curran's mutilated body ground to pulp in the
wheels. His clothing was doubtless caught in
the cogs, and he was found with knife in his
hand, evidently having used it to liberate him
self from his perilous position. He was heard
to call his wife, but the unhappy lady could
not reach him until life was extinct Mr.. Cur
ran was about IS years old, and leaves wife
and several children.

Judge Kelley And The SOntl.

To quiet all misgivings on the subject of his
recent confession, Judge Kelley once more ap-
pears in print. He admits that personal con-
tact with the people of the South had COM
pletely modified his views, and virtually de-
clares that the laws Of Congress, since 1865,
which he had helped to frame, compelled a
condition of affairs here which would have
caused trouble and outbreaks anywhere. He
says:
If it be true that IAN idle mans brain is the
DEVILS Workshop" we must expect turbulence
among millions of men who live in constrained
idleness, because there is no market for their
labor. No measure of force will reduce such
community to order. 1t will always be liable to
have its passions in1amed by trivial causes,
and should not, on such occasions, be harshly
dealt with. Hence my regret at having voted
for the force bill.
What is required to regenerate the South is
subsoil ploughs, phosphates, agricultural i'm
plements generally, large increase of horses
mules and horned CATTLE a steadily increasing
supply of steam engines end machinery, and
such manufacturing machinery as can be moved
small amount of cash capital and few earnest
men to teach their use and value would in a
few years make the South bloom Ikea garden,
and develop population as loyal as that Of
any Northern State during the war. The in
terests of Northern capitalists require them to
supply these potent agents at the earliest prac-
ticable day.
Are not these views consistent with the re-
ports you have seen of my recent expressions
But these agents have not been supplied. On
the contrary, the financial policy Of the gov
ernment, in the hands of either party, has rem
dered their acquisition impossible. 1t was
about the date above referred to that Mr.
McCulloch announced the resolution of An
drew Jollnson's administration to contract the
currency sufficiently to enable US to resume
specie payments. This policy received the ap-
probation of his Democratic followers, togeth-
er with that of the Republican papers of New
York, New England and other money centres.
In brief, it became the policy of the country,
and has been persisted in by Congress till the
Treasury is threatened with bankruptcy, and
the militia of Philadelphis is encamped in our
coal regions to enfQsce order at the point ofthe
bayonet. IF this policy is still persisted in we
shall 90 from bad to worse, as England did
when, by the act of 1919, Parliament fixed the
day four years in advance when specie pay
ments should be resumed, until we too shall
have our Peterboro and Bristol riots, to sup
press which troops will be required TO fire up
on the suffering people, This unwise legisa-
ton has pressed with peculiar severity upon
the poverty stricken, desolated South, and has
begotten widespread discomfort, as it is now do
ing throughout the North and this has been
the refrain of all my recent conversations.

The Views of General Gary.

A reporter of the Edgefeld Advert;ser has in
terviewed General M. w. Gary on the political
situation, and published the result of the con-
versation Gen Gary thinks the prospect fat
tering for the Democracy, and that without
mistake on the part of the leaders, Democrat
ic President will be elected. He thinks, and
rightly, that the Democrats are able to whip
the fight with a man of their own party. he
favours the nomination of such man as Gov
ernor Allen, or Senator Eaton, or Senator
Thurman, though he confesses that his prefer
ence is for Thurman. He does not believe the
nomination of Southern man feasible, and
thinks the South should act as unit in this
matter in order to insure success IN the North
ern and Western States He believes that the
Greeley movement "debauched the South po-
litically, and did much HARM" He says OF the
fears professed to be entertained at the North
concerning Democratic triumph.
"There is no foundation for the fears OF
Northern people, that the election OF Demo,
cratic President would jeopardize the rights OF
the colored race. Time will prove that the
Democrats of the South are the best friends the
colored race will ever have on this earth.
Their future prosperity depends Upon the sue
cess of the Democratic party, which is the true
friend of freedom and civil liberty. am not
apprehensiye of conflict of races in the South ;
the time for such conflict if it ever existed,
in my judgment, has passed. The influence of
the carpet Dagger and scalawag is evidently on
the wane They have been the chief stimulus
to such conflict"
He thus defines the issues of the struggle {:
"I think there are only two parties in the Uni
ted States, the party of Capitalization and the
party of local self-goyernment. The logical re.
suit of Capitalization would be an Empire, and
the final effect of States Rights or local self
government is to perpetuate free and consti-
tutional Republic. The recent successes are
the evidence of the return of the people to the
principles of the true Democracy, which must
govern this Government so long as it remains a
Republic. 1t is the sober second thought of
those who have discovered that Capitalization,
or the administration Of the government by
such men as Grant, must eventuate in an EN-
pire."

The BLUE AND THE GRAY.-Gen. Bartlctts
manly speech at Lexington is still bringing
forth good fruit. The latest expression of ap-
proval is in the form of a long letter from the
ex-Confederate Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. After de-
claring his hearty commendation of all that
Gen. Bartlett said, Gen. Lee continues "Just
such soldierly sentiments, generously felt and
expressed, will do more in brief space of time
toward restoring good feeling, fraternity and
fellowship between the two sections of a COM
mon country than all the reconstruction elo-
quence of political partisans delivered during
these past 10 years. Your words in reference
to Federal soldiers are equally applicable to the
Confederate soldiers, for they too have preju-
dice in favor of peace and fully agree with
you that between the soldiers of the two great
sections of our great country fraternal relations
were established long ago. and We feel that if
such felicitous companionship of sentiment
could have found resting-place in the hearts
of other classes of people, the rehabilitation of
the South would long since have been assured.
Its speedy redemption from poverty and desc
lation would have followed, and once more, rs
III years ago, the North would have had the ac-
tive cooperation of the South in working out
glorious destiny for the Republic. Therefore,
when we hear such utterances fall from the lips
of one who so bravely bore himself rs FEEDER
al soldier, we begin to look forward with new
hope and confidence to the day when the Amer
ican flag which now floats over the blue and
gray, shall in truth be embazened with the
emblem, Peace on earth, good will to men, 4"

The Industry of the South.

In remarking upon Senator Morton's mali
cious libel on the Southern people, the Mobile
Register makes a handsome defence of this
section by an array of facts and figures incon-
trovertible:
This very portion of the Southwest which
Senator Morton defames with the old stereo-
typed abuse of ante -bellum days, says the Reg
lister, has exported to Europe and brought into
the United States more gold than all the agri-
cultural products of all the Union beside.
We insert the following statement of the value
of articles exported in 1874:

The value of the cotton exported from the
United States in 1874 was S2l1 ,223, ,5S0-or
only S7,32l, 1886 less than the value of grain

seemed to the Morton vision "to stalk over the
land" the South furnished for export in 1874

nished in cotton and tobacco alone the sum of
S244, 4,0OO,000 Adding to these the exports of
Virg ginia and Maryland wheat, Missouri and
Tennessee corn, kentucky bacon, and Texas
hides, we find that the South, with one-fourth
of the population of the Union, furnishes more
than half of its exports All this has been
done with hostile Congress disturbing labor,
ernment with the bayonet. All this has been
accomplished in spite the Mortons and the
Buffers If our houses are not alright, it is
because we do not need air-tight houses. If
our country homes are not adorned, it is be-
cause Morton's bummers have robbed them.
If our plantations are poorly cultivated, it is
significant fact that the Northern men who
have engaged in planting at the South succeed
no better than our own people If our church
es have no steeples, the piety of the pastors
and the worship of the congregations are purer
than that at Brooklyn. II school houses do
not appear all along the railroads it is either
because it is not safe to keep school near rail-
road track or because the carpet-baggers have
stolen the school fund. 1t is rather late for
Senator Morton to revamp these ante-diluvian
ISLANDERS. During the war the Southern people
showed that they were men; and since the war
they have shown recuperative power, an in
domtable industry and a grand dignity which
should command admiration, rather than
sneers, from even q Morton.

bring matters to a crisis, she resolved to
ascertain his intentions. When he next
called she took him gently by the ear, led
him to a seat, and said:

WIN. Il. MORRISON,

The new chairman of the ways and
means committee is a native lllinoisan, and
has hosts of personal triends,in all parties.
We first met him in 1856, as a delegate to
the Cincinnati convention, and have held
him in warm admiration ever since. At
the outburst Of the rebellion he enlisted a
regiment of infantry which was enrolled as
the 49th Illinois, and of which he was
commissioned colonel. He commanded
the regiment in the bloody engagements
on the extreme right of Gen. Grants line
at Fort Donelson. where he received a
musket shot through the body, and from
the supposed mortal character of the
wound was reported as among the killed.
He recovered, however, but was never
able to return to service. The nature of
o fhis wound, a shot through the lungs, is
the physical cause of his present inability
to make a speech of any great length.
Donelson was the first and only battle Of
the war in which Col. Morrison was en-
gagged. 1t was also the first battle in
which his personal friend Col. Logan was
engaged. Their positions were near each
other, and it is remarkable that both we're
wounded and carried from the field in the
same assault. Logan received a painful
flesh wound, from which he soon recovered
and returned to duty, not long afterward
gaining promotion to a higher rank because
he turned Republican and blackguarded
his old associates. Morrison remained a
Democrat and got no promotion,-but we
would not now change his position for that
Of Logan's, either for influence or power,
or in the hearty admiration of his country
