The War is Over at Last.

Within !. short time past several Fed
eral soldiers who are on the pension rolls
have deliberately arranged to transfer
the money they receive to INDECENT and
disabled survivors of the Lost Cause.
Gen. S. Boiling, of Petersburg, Va, a
prominent ex Confederate officer, gives
the following history of the matter:
"Some time in December last it came
to my knowledge that q gallant and
patriotic ex. Union officer, living at Wa.
tertown, N. Y, desired that the pension
which had just been granted him should
be bestowed upon some Elk Confederate
whose wounds made it impossible for
him to undergo the hagdships and labor
of we'll man. I suggested w. g..
Mclaughlin, of Lunenburg County, as
person who met the requirements, and
the pension of the Union veteran is now
being paid to the shattered and bullet
rent Ex. Coniet' ale. I wish [ might
give the name of the gallant soldier
and thoughtful and sympathetic gentle
man who has done this, for publication,
but with that true modesty which would
not be praised by the world for so kindly
an act to his fellow man, he desires that
it shall not be published. The. matter
did not stop here. Some of his comrades
learned what had been done. Five of
them drew pensions for wounds received
in action. They are beyond the need of
personal aid, and have written Gen. Boil.
ing requesting that he furnish five addi-
tional names of wounded soldiers of the
army of Northern Virginia, to whom
they wisu to transfer their pensions. y

principle that, one public officer is to be
turned out simply because the people
want to make a change in another public
officer. If the people want to change
every officer in the State, from Governor
TO Trial Justice, they have the right aud
the power to do so; but the fact that
they might want 10 change q Comptroller
General is no reason why they should
change a Treasurer also, or that they
might want to change d Governor that
they must change the Secretary of State
also. Our position is that every candi-
date should stand on his own merits,
withoukgain;ng any strength from those
around him, and without being weakened
by those around him. When the matter
is thus determined by merit, it makes no
difference whether all the officers are
re nominated or all of them are changed,
or some of them re-nominated and some
of them changed. All that we care for
is to see changes that may be made
brought about by intelligent reason and
not blind prejudice. The right of the
people to rule is not inconsistent with the
exercise of reason by the people.

An Appeal to Cotton Planters.

MEMrA1s, Tenn, February 26.-The
Interstate agricultural Convention,
which has been in session at Jackson,
Tenn, since Wednesday, adjourned this
evening. The following resolution was
adopted, with an amendment to include
breadstufs and hog products as well as
cotton:
The manipulation by spectators Of
the cotton crop of lS35-S6, which so
depressed prices that they have fallen
below the actual cost of production,
forces upon the planters of the South
the necessity of relieving themselves, as
far as in their power lies, from the infu.
ence of so ruinous system as that which
now controls the chief exporlable pro
duct of the country, and with this end
in view the representatives of the agri"
cultural interests of Tennessee, in con-
vention assembled, call upon our brother
planters of all the Southern States to
protect themselves by united action.
Emboldened by past successes, the spec.
ulator has fixed the standard price for
the cotton crop of 1SS6-S7. This, he
has done before the seed has been put in
the ground, or even the ploughs have
been started. Cotton futures for the
months of October, November and De,
cember, 1886, and January, 1887, ,.are to-
day quoted in New York at from $40 to
875, according to months. This means
not exceeding 81 cents for middling
cotton in New York, or 81 cents at the
principal shipping ports Of the South,
including such cities as New Orleans,
Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, Mobile,
Galveston and Memphis. Middling cotton
at these cities selling for 81 cents means
not more than u cents to the planter,
who must pay freight, insurance and
regular commission charges, which gen.
orally average from to l cent per pound.
Now, in view of these conditions, so
ruinous to our interests, we appeal to the
intelligence of the cotton. grower, and
ask him can he pay the expense of
farming and make even bare living by
selling cotton at u cents per pound ?
The answer is already given in the mega
tive. The next question following upon
this is: What is the remedy? We
answer: Diversified crops; plant one
third less cotton and more grain and
grasses, raise hogs aud hominy,, let cotton
be the surplus crop instead OF producing
six and half million bales make only
four and half million bales. By this
means we may realize large price for
our labor, and at the same time live
in n.'ependently of speculating sharks who
profit by our losses. In addition to this,
the Legislatures of each of the Southern
States should be petitioued to make deal
ings for future delivery, unless cotton is
actually on hand to sell aud isactually de-
liyered tothe contracting purchasers fel-
ony punishable by fneand Imprisonment,
not less than one thousand dollars and
two years in the peniteutiary. The time
is now propitious for united action, and
we appeal to the press of the South to
aid us in our efforts by giving every
publicity to this protest, au appeal which
we feel cannot but result beneicially if
prompt in action aud lived up to honest

Short shrift and Long Rope.
SpARTANBURG, March i

Last Friday Mrs. Lancaster, the
wife of respectable white farmer living
near West Springs, this County, was
b-utally assaulted. She was in delicate
condition at the time, and it is reported
here to-day that she has died from her
injuries
On Sunday Obediah Thompson, a
black negro, was arrested near Campton.
He confessed that be had assaulted Mrs.
Lancaster and was brought here and
lodged in Jail. At 5 o'clock this after
noon between 800 and 500 men rode into
town, surrounded the Jail and took
Thompson out, little resistance being
offered A large crowd gathered and the
business was conducted as quietly and
openly as if it was legal execution.
Thompson was carried to point in the
suburbs and hanged.
Everybody expected the lynching and
there was and is no excitement. But
the feeling against Thompson has been
intense since his confession and it is not
likely that any human power could have
foiled the cool aud determined men who
resolved that he should die.-Dispotch 10
