EDITOR CLARION:
Fifteen years have passed since
the Southern Confederacy yielded
up her life and furled that banner
that was borne to victory ON many
battlefield. Soon after this the
Federal Government appropriated
millions of dollars to beautify,
adorn, and embellish the graves of
her fallen soldiers, and all that
money and art could do has been
done for those who "wore the
"blue." Monuments (by private
subscription) have been erected
throughout the South to the mem
DRY of the fallen braves who wore
the grey, and annually "fair wo-
men and brave men, lay aside the
cares of everyday life and pay
homage to their sacred dead. -
When the tocsin of war sounded
Morehonse responded cheerfully to
the call and sent the ''bravest of
the brave" in defense of a cause
pure enough to command their love,
many of whom sleep tonight in
other states awaiting the last re-
vielle.
Death has been busy during these
fifteen years and the actors in those
four years of war are rapidly pass
ing away and new generation TAX
ing their places. Now, l deem it a
duty we owe our dead that the few
survivors have a reunion. Let the
commanders call their respe ctive
Companies together and devise the
best mode of commemorating the
names of our dead. Morehouse
has been recreant to this duty long
enough. 1 will suggest that Capt;
Hall issue a call for the Old Guard
to assemble at any time and place
he may designate.

Mr.. Mcdonald, Bastrop, La.
DEAR SIR:-The Southern Standard
Press. which you put up for me, has
given perfect satisfaction. During the
months of December and January last l
packed $50 bales cotton-averaging in
weight 500 pounds. l used an ordinary
SIG cotton rope which, at the close of
the season, was sufficiently strong to be
used for plow lines. 1t possesses many
advantages over any other press ofwhich
l have any knowledge Its cheapness
and durability should recommend it to
every one. regard the Southern
Standard cheaper at 800 than the
Brooks OF Reynolds or any press Of like
make at $40. Yours truly,

GARFIELD.

l
The Chicago Inter- Ocean, one
of the most Jealous Grant Or
gans in the Union, is very much
displeased with the. result of the
Chicago Convention. That jour
nal argues that Garfield is not
stronghold it. will require a
heroic effort for him to carry the
Republican party VIGOROUSLY
through, the campaign. We sin
cerely wish the Inter Ocean were
4 correct. But. we are satisfied
that it is, to us of the South,
radically wrong Our opinion,
from the first has been that Grant
is the weakest man that the Re.
pnblicans could put in the field.
The action of the Chicago con-
vention has verified our opinion.
The thinking men of that body
knew that he could not win.
They kaeaU what4a tremendous
force would oppose his re-elec-
/ ton to the exalted position of
President of this mighty nation.
They k,neao that his candidature
would but strengthen the chances
OF the Democratic candidate.
Hence the immovabIe opposition
in that convention which failed
| to nominate him. The Inter
Ocean is chagrined. It feels
| sore. So confident was it Of
q Grants nomination that, to be
disappointed, is, for the moment,
like giving upTall hope OF exist
ence. In other words, the en-
thusiastic Grant men and the
advocates Of a third term are
compelled to eat crow, and their
stomachs are very weak. But it
will not do for the Democracy,
if they would act wisely, to heed
such assertions as the Inter
Ocean and ether detected, disap-
pointed Grant papers may make
! Garfield; is one of the most for
midable men the Democracy
could have to contend with. He
is a tower of strength. In the
! language Of the Chicago Tribune
Gen. Garfield is both an ora.
: tor and d statesman. He is q
scholar, and is as close "a student
!. to-day as he was. when he was
struggling as boy for the means
to obtain an education. He has
. never ceased to be student
> and never applied himself SO Wig
J. orously to the acquisition needed
in his public service AS since
he first entered Congress in De
cember, 1868, a stranger unknown
, to those around him, and nnfa
. miliar with politics and with leg
) islation. As a master of politica
. knowledge, as q master OF politi
!. cal economy and social science
: he has no superior and but few
: equals among the public men Q
r the country. 10 point Of intel
8 lectual ability and thorough
: knowledge Of the science of gov
eminent, Mr.. Garfield ap
9 proaches nearer to the STANDARD
Q of Daniel Webster than does an,
0 of the men at present on the pub
' lie stage. His ability, his thor
! ough study, and his long practi
cal experience in political mat
y ters, give an assurance to. til,
r country that he will carry to- tn
y Presidential Office a mind supe
J. rior because Of its natural quail
! fcations and training to any tina
has preceded him for many years
" He will be q President able il
9 every sense to gill the Office in !,
# way that the country will like t
n see it filled-with ability, Learning
, experience, and integrity.
!, That Gen. Garfield will be. cleo
!. ted, We have no question. He j
u 9 candidate worthy Of election
o and will command not only ever,
