In March last Nelly Parker, aged IS
years, the granddaughter Of servant
Of the Washington family, and all her
life the servant of the family OF
Col. E. G.. w. Butler. died in her
Vile parish. Col. Butler furnished
the editor OF the South with some OF
the incidents In the life Of his
faithful old servant and friend and the
editor printed them in brief obituary
sketch. Under the heading ODE
mand and Supply" Of which the fact
of the venerable woman's connection
with the servants Of the Washington
family was made the text, q facetious
article was printed in the DEMOCRAT.
Our young friend OF the South, to our
surprise, was quite indignant at our. ar
ticle, regarding it as reflection upon
the veracity Of his statement. Col.
Butler, we subsequently learned, also
regarded the article in that light and
seemed to be quite mortified by it. All
this we sincerely regret, for we had no
purpose Of questioning the truth Of the
notice OF Nelly Parker.
The article was simply one of those
light illusions which editors relax and
amuse themselves sometimes by throw
ing off in idle moments. No one who
knows Col, Buffers high character,
sustained through long life, would
question his veracity. We only regret
that we should have wounded his feel
ings by making a fact mentioned in
connection with the death of servant
to whom he and his family seem to
have been deeply attached the text of
facetious article, for no one appreciates
more than we, that sincere and even
tender attachment which has 50 often
grown up between our old citizens and
their old and trusted slaves.

The river and harbor appropriation
bill, passed at the first session Of the
Forty fourth Congress, appropriated, in
the aggregate, the sum Of $5,015, 900.
President Grant, being stricken with a
sudden freak Of economy, issued an I'M
precedented and remarkable executive
order limiting the expenditures under
this appropriation to 100000. Sub
sequently other allotments were
made from this fund, and when
Mr.. Hayes became President
there remained an unexpended
lalance of about S1.124,ooO. Quite
recently the Chief Of Engineers has rec
commended that this balance be applied
at once to the execution of necessary
works upon the rivers and harbors OF
the country, and in pursuance of this
Recommendation 1t has been determined
to e1pend all the appropriation which
remains available during the coming
summer. This is proper enough, but
we dc not see upon what principle of
Justice New York, Ohio, Michigan and
Minnesota are allowed to absorb more
than half OF the amount, while all of the
Southern States together receive less
than one-quarter of the appropriation.
or these Virginia gets $4,000 and North
Carolina $1,000, while to Louisiana is
doled out the miserable pittance OF
S2,. 2oO-sIs 300 for the Ouachita river
and $40. 600 Cor the mouth of the Missis-
sippi. We hope our Congressman will
take notice OF these facts and hereafter
insist upon fair division of the spells,
SO long as appropriations continue to be
made for works OF this character. We
commend to them the example OF MIR.
Hereford, OF West Virginia. who never
allows his State to get left" in such
matters.
