THE DOMINEERINa DEMOCRACY


The composure with which the Demo-
cracy propose to support the Union and
the men who defended it, while they de-
nounce other Southern citizens for hav-
ing done the same thing, is an evidence
Of that mastery which the Democracy
claim over the people of the South. Gen
eral Grant was a Union soldier. He had
done even more than General Hancock to
suppress 'the rebellion of the seeding
States now becoming so popular. Cen
eral Grant had accepted the capitulation
of yicksburg and paroled and provi-
stoned the prisoners. He had insti-
gated the interview between Mr.. Lin
coin and the Confederate peace
commissioners at City Point. he had
proposed the terms of capitulation which
General Lee accepted without change of
terms, and he had protested against Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson's proposal to prose-
cute Lee and Johnston. Such was his
record when nominated, yet no Southern
man who even voted for him on the
ground now advocated by the Southern
Democracy has been tolerated by the
Southern Democracy since.
One result of this amnesty now offered
to the Union soldier by the Southern De-
mocracy is very striking. At the battle
Of Gettysburg General Longstreet COM
manded the Confederate assault on the
Union centre, while Gen eral Hancock
commanded the Union centre. It so hap
pened then that the Confederate soldier
Longstreet met the Union soldier Han
cock in the most deadly and decisive COM
bat of the war. Would We not suppose
that the Union men and women were
proud of the valor with which the
wounded Hancock repulsed his i'm
petuous adversary? Would we not think
that the Confederate people would have
gloried in the men who made that des-
perate and deadly fight? Is it not reason
able to think, then, that when that Confed-
crate General fought along the line of q
retreat which lasted from Gettysburg back
to Appomattox, and surren dered his sword
with the general-in- chief of the Confed
crate cause, grateful people would have
remembered him forever?
At the expiration Of given period we
find the Confederate General denounced
by Confederates for having voted for a
Union officer, while the same Confeder-
ates applaud and recommend for suffrage
another federal officer who prosecuted
the war against the Cont ederacy. Were
it possible to call back the spirit Of some
brave Confederate soldier who followed
Longstreet and fell under the fire of Han
cock at that deadly outre, to tell him that
the Confederates had discarded Long
street and were voting for Hancock would
seem incredible. To tell him that Long
street had been discarded, and because he
voted for federal soldier, while other
Condolences were com mended for voting
for another federal soldier, would be be-
yond the comprehension Of any disem-
bodied spirit.

General Hancock is urged by Southern
Democrats because he is noble Union SOL
der, who stood by his country when rebels
threatened to destroy it. That goes for
very little, however, outside of q stump
speech. The soldiers who have monuments
erected to their memories in the South are
those who deserted the regular army and
ioined the rebels.

The residence Of Mr., Ike Boho, at n
little village in Moore county, II few

day morning, and his two little chill.
dren burned up IN it, The children
were twins, . beautiful. sweet little girl
aud bright little boy, about 3 years OF
age,
Mr.. Bobo and his wife arose that
morning about sun'up, and leaving the
little children sleeping swectly togeth'
cr in thei" bed, the father went, as
usual. TO the barn to feed his stock,
and the mother to the kitchen to get
breakfast. On discovering the house
on fire, Mr., Bobo ran Immediately into
the room and to the bed where the
children were sleeping, and they were
gone, and he supposed they had run
out Of the house and were safe. Blind.
cd and almost suiFOcatcd by the smoke,
and badly burned by the fire, he ran
out. BY this time a number Of the
ncighbors had rushed to the rescue,
When the children could not be found
outside. Nj, and Mrs. Bobo had to be
held back by main iorco to prevent
them from rushing into the fire in
search Of them. The fire originated
in the room where the children were,
and from the position Of their bodies
after the fire was over, it was found
they had left the bed in which they
slept and gotten into the bed in which
their parents slept. They doubtless
imagined they would be safe there.
The body Of the boy was nearly burned
up, and the face badly disllgured. Tho
face Of the little girl looked natural
having fallen forward on her breast
and probably protected by the bed
clothes, They were both buried to-
gethcr that evening. 1t was a mos
heart-rcuding, agoniziug calamity.
We sympathize fully with the sorely
afflicted father and mother and aget
