The Question o. the Hour.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, April 2l.-The
following letter from ex.President JET.
ferson Davis, of the Confederate States,
to II. W. Pope, of Marshall, Texas, in
which Mr. Davis gives his views as to
what legislation might be adopted to
bring about harmony and unity of action
between capital and labor, has just been
made public:
BEAUvo1R, Miss, March 81, 1856
Hon. w. II. Pope-NIy Dear Sir: Fully
appreciating the compliment conveyed
by your request for my views as to what
legislation might be adopted to adjust the
conflict nov going on between capital
and labor, regret that the compliment
is so little n.erited. The u.u war between
capital and labor has called forth the
best iutellects of Europe. 1t has dis.
turbed commerce, overtlrown govern
ments, produced anarchy, and crept from
the wreck without solving the problem.
With US the contest is in its incipicpt
state, and happily it may be that some
thing can be done to check its growth.
Selfinterest and free competition for
labor will, wherever laborers are abund-
ant, give to the rich the power to oppress
the poor. we cannot legislate to destroy
the motive Of selfinterest, for that lies
at the foundation of progress, and our
efforts must, therefore, be directed to
unifying theinterests of labor and capital
as far ms this may be done By the Legis-
latures of the States. The present form
of conflict in our country is between
associated labor and the organizations
employing it. 1t is not a sufficient an.
swer to say that the price of labor has
advanced, unless it can be shown that
the profits moved pari 1oassu with the
profits of capital; for in this, as in other
things of comparative welfare, we must
consider the relative improvement. The
standard of comfort rises proportionately
to the increase of wealth in the country.
Your idea of a Court of Arbitration, 1
think, has much to recommend it. The
organization of such Court, so as to
secure equally the confidence of both the
conteuding parties, would require both
liberality and discretion, and it would
be needful that their decisions should be
based on something like co operative
principle of industrial partnership, in
which the wages of employees should be
measured by the profits of the corpora
ton. If in this manner community of
interest could be established, the welfare
and contentment of both would seem to
be possible result.
"With sincere regard and best wishes
for'you and yours, | am, your friend,
JEFFERSON DAVIS"

Mr.. EDITOR: One Of the gentlemen
writing through the columns of the
lNTELL1GENcER, in opposition to the
suggestion of "Citizen," that new
bridge be built across Seneca River, ETC.,
expresses the opinion that the Deep
Greek hills are ''bad hills" and suggests
a change of road a, specified in his arti-
Gle. The other thinks that new bridge
should be built, but opposes a change OF
location as proposed, although he admits
that ''it would be an advantage to the
neighborhood below Shallow Ford"
Neither informs US how to avoid Deep
Creek. hope that information enough
has been elected lin support of the
petitions) to induce our County Commits
sioners to thoroughly investigate this
matter, and to inspect and measure the
two routes from Mr.. T. j. McClure's to
some point near Mr.. N. 0. farmers

might be we'll to consider the practicable
ity of rafting the stones, of which the
piers of Earle's bridge are built, down

The New York Herald puts the duty
of the Democratic Party on the subject
Of tariff revision strongly before the
people of the Union, in calling attention
to the platform of the party which prom
ised tariff revision, and says:
That is a matter which Democrats
from Democratic States ought. to think
of. IF Pennsylvania and Ohio could be
counted on to help elect the Democratic
Presidential candidate in 1888, what the
men of these two States now want, or
think they want, might be entitled to
consideration by Democrats. But these
Pennsylvania and Ohio Democrats
assume to rule and overrule and defeat
their party in Congress, and then they go
home and let their States in Presiden.
tial election swell the vote of the other
side. Under these circumstances the
Pennsylvania and Ohio Democrats
ought to be a little modest. A true
sense of their relations to their party
would lead them, if they cannot support
its measures in Congress, at least to alb.
stain from voting where they do not
agree.
The Democrats in Congress should
unite upon some scheme for revision oi
the tariff, if it takes caucus to accom-.
plish the result The party now is con-
trolled by few Democrats who vote
with the Republicans and always defeat
tariff revision. In this they may also
defeat the Democratic Party, for the
party is pledged to tariff revision. If it
fails to cary out this pledge, it will be a
serious matter in the next canvass.

Death of the Poet Priest.

LOUISVILLE, April 23.-Father Abram
J. Ryan, the 'poet priest of the South, "
died at the franciscan monastery of ST.
Bonafacius in this city last night. He
came mere month ago from Catholic
institution at Reading, near Cincinnati
He intended to make this his retreat and
to finish Life of Christ, which he had
undertaken. He became i'll within a
week with organic heart disease and grew
steadily worse. For several days past
his mind wandered and he has talked
pitifully of his eventful life in the war
days and has preached to imaginary
audiences. Yesterday he passed into a
comatose state, from which he never
reused.
Father Ryan's remains will be taken
to. morrow to Mobile, where they will be
buried. An escort of Ex-Confederate
soldiers will accompany the remains.

The Roanoke Railroad meeting,

The Roanoke Railroad meeting, of
which we publish synopsis elsewhere,
was in the interest of line of railroad
which the people of Anderson cannot
afford to lose, ifitcan possibly be secured.
It is to be an extension of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad from Roanoke, Va, to
Atlanta, Georgia, for the purpose of
competing in time and traffic with the
great Richmond & Danville system.
If properly located and built, it will
make the distance from Atlanta to Balti.
more very much shorter than the present
lineI, which it is meant to antagonize.
On any of the three first named routes
Anderson has the advantage for the loca-
ton. From Greenville it would be a
necessary point, and from Spartanburg
10 Atlanta it may be regarded as very
probable point on the line. If Union
and Laurens become points on the line,
then Anderson's position is still as favor.
able as that of any other point of any
prominence, for several reasons which
may not be necessary here to state. To
be located on such a line would be Of
immense advantage to our city, and
would make its future one of assured
prosperity. Our people should be wide
awake, and look closely and progressively
after our interest in the premises. In our
opinion the City Council should appoint
q committee to represent the city in
watching the progress of this enterprise,
and keeping Anderson's claims promi-
nently before the management of the
proposed road. We cannot afford to
lose the location of 80 valuable route
as the new road will be.

Another Railroad.

Four of the Greenville delegates to the
railroad meeting at Roanoke who left
here on Sunday night got back yesterday
morning. They had delightful trip
aud are much pleased with the meeting
and it's results. The fifth delegate, DR..
w. L. Mauldin, did not come back with
the others but went to Washington.
The party that left here was joined al
Salisbury and Charlotte by large squads
of delegates representing different points
and interests in North Carolina, and
when the train reached Roanoke, Mon
day afternoon, there were two cars full OF
delegates who found number of others
already Oh the ground. The gathering
was said by veteran campaigners, to be
the largest railroad convention they had
ever attended.
Roanoke is town four years old aud
with 5000 people. Representative Ausel
says it is one of the most beautiful and
delightful little cities he ever saw. 1t is
on the Norfolk. and Western railroad and
the terminus of the Shenandoah Valley
Road, and has an iron furnace, car shops
second to none in the country and en-
ploying several hundred men, water
works, two fine hotels, including one
which cost $4,000 to build and furnish,
and other attractions. The visitors ere
all impressed with the earnestness of
the Roanoke people in railroad enter.
prise and their determination to build
! the railroad to the south.
1t was developed very clearly that
Atlanta is the objective point of the pro.
posed line. The Roanoke people had
heard little or nothing of Greenville and
were much astonished and impressed
when given the facts and figures to show
the size, Importance and progress of the
city. Speeches made in behalf of this
city by Doctor Mauldin and Mr.. Ansel
were heard with evident interest and ap.
proval, and were literally applauded
especially as those gentlemen talked
"business" and made clear and definite
statements of what can be done for the
road here.
The route is virtually settled on as far
as Mooresville and Mockyille, N. G.
From that point four lines are offered
~ Via Lincolnton, Shelby, Green.
Vile and Anderson toward Atlanta;
(2) Shelby to Spartanburg and be.
tween Greenville and Laurens toward
| Atlanta;
(9) Via Mooresville, Charlotte, York.
Vile, Union, Cross Anchor and Cross
Keys to Laurens G. H.;
(4) Via Charlotte, Lancaster and
Camden to the coast.
DR.. Mauldin told the convention that
if the road should be run by Greenville
and Anderson the Greenville and Ander-
son people would meet it at the North
Carolina line and put it to the Savannah
GreenuiUe Ne,cs, AprI %.

In the city of Richmond, Va, an
election under the recent County Option
Law was held to determine the question
of license or no license on last Monday.
The wet ticket received S,941 votes,
while the dry only carried $3.50 votes,
making the majority for license 5,6S1.
The colored vote was almost unanimous
for license. The white vote was rather
evenly divided, with the majority in favor
of license. At disappearance this would
seem to be decidedly black eye for pro-
hibition, but in reality it is the result of
bad management and fanaticism on the
part of the temperance people in Rich
mond. The city was not ready for pro.
hibition, and any careful investigation of
the state of public opinion there would
have revealed the fact, and should have
prevented the holding of the election.
The Georgia plan is the discreet one.
Their County Option law was passed
several years ago, and instead of begi1-
ming in their cities they agitated the
Counties in which small towns were stu.
ated, and carried them. With the force
of an advancing prohibition sentiment
they then attacked the larger towns and
cities, which they have almost invariably
carried. The inconsiderate action of the
Virginia prohibitionists has undoubtedly
given the cause back.set in that State,
but their experience will doubtless be
profitable to them, and they will yet
carry their efforts to successful termina.

will accomplish great good for the peo-
pie of the State if it confines its labors
to the discussion of ofagricultural interests,
and such matters as pertain thereto,
either in politics or commerce, but If it
should be cut and dried for the pet
schemes of few men to enable them to

in such Convention is, that in the hur-
~ to adjourn, it may not be able to OBJ
tain the information necessary to base
its action on, except upon the statement
of individual members of the Convention
and such action is always liable to be
somewht erroneous. We hope the Con.
vention will, by committees, look fully
into the different departments of our
government, and>inform themselves upon
the matters Of public policy in this
State which affect the interests of our
people. By doing this the information
that will be made public will be the
source of a correct public opinion which
cannot fail to produce beneficial results.
The Convention should not become the
tail to the kite Of any man or set of men
in personal politics. Itshould take stock
neither in a new deal nor an old deal,
but confne its work to the consideration
of measures affecting the agriculture of

tails of a bloody tragedy, enacted there
shortly after midnight this morning, in
which United States Deputy Marshal
Webb Purden of Manchester, and a
1,oonshiner named CLARK were killed and
three other moonshiners fatally wounded.
About ten days ago Purden, accompanied
by Deputy Marshal Hughes, went on a
raid among the illicit distilleries Of Grun
dy County, Tennessee, and captured and
destroyed several stills.
Between y and o'clock this morning
fifteen moonshiners rode into Manches.
ter, determined to have Purden's life.
Seven broke into his house and the
balance surroundedit. Purden met them
with cooked revolver as they entered,
and terrible battle ensued. Two moon
sinners fell to the floor mortally wounded
and the gang retreated, but they had
succeeded in fatally wounding Purden.
Disabled as he was he jumped from bed,
seized double.bar shotgun and fired
into the retreating gang, and two more
fell mortally wounded. Purden then fell
dead beside the body of one of his VIC
Tins. The gang carried off their wound
ed companions. A large posse is now in
pursuit of them.
