Even after thirteen centuries OF decay the
foundation outlines Of Teach Midchuarta or
the great hall of Tara, are actually visible.
There can also be traced in lines, ridges and
mounds Of crumbling stones, where once stood
the walls OF Bath Riga or the Kings Fort, en-
closing the mound Of the Forradh, Rath Cuel-
chon, beyond which are two raths nearly oblit-
Grated, one of which is Rath Grainne, or the
Queens Rath, the Teach Cormiac, or House of
-Cormac, the Dumha-na-Ngiall, or mound of
hostages, Rath of Laeghaire on the southern
slope Of the hill, Rath Seanadh or Rath of the
Synods, where Teran synods in Christian times
were held, and the ancient road, the Slope of
the Chariots, SO often sung of and pointed out
by the ancient bards and topographers. For
thousand years the Hill has been pillaged
ton remains. Yet here, removed from its
ancient position over the Mound of the Hos
tages, and brought to the center of the Forradh,
to mark the graves Of Irish patriots slain in
'98, stands the veritable Liza Fail or obeliscal
STONE OF DESTINY,
upon which for ages the kings Of Ireland were
crowned; and which the English fondly believe
was ravaged from Ireland for use at the coro-
nation in Scotland Of Fergus Mac Eark and
afterward removed by the first Edward from
Scone to Westminster Abbey; while many price
including two magnificent gold torques, or
kings necklaces, have been safely treasured
and are accessible In the museums Of the great
Dublin societies. And standing here in the
presence Of 5000 years, the traces of whose
remotest activities are still preserved; looking
from Tara's heights-as exalting and with Is
enhancing prospect as from the Areopagus
from which Dem0sthenes aroused Athenian
valor-upon the fair, far plains of Meath; no
man owning q birthright west Of the Latin
faint can fail of knowing once for all some
thing Of that Irish thrill Of heart in endless
longing for the restoration to its race of all
that England has left-thc graves and
antiquities Of . loved, wronged land.

Put Yourself in His Place.
[Springfeld, Mass, Republican,

[Springfield, Mass, Republican,
The resentments of the war are dying
out, yet feeling fingers at the north
that the men who rebelled against the
government were guilty of a crime, and
that they ought to repent of it. That
feeling grows weak; there is a disposi-
ton to give the south the benefit of a
sort of moral statute of limitations, and
forgive what was done so long ago; but
whatever vividly recalls the events of
the war is liable to revive feeling that
the southerners rebelled wickedly and
without any excuse. Now, why did
the southerners fight? Let the northern
reader try to put himself in the place
of the average white southerner of 1850,
and see how things looked to him.
Slavery was part of his whole social
life. AS a child he had been nursed by
a black "mammy" The servants in
his house belonged to him. If hewas a
planter, his laborers We're his property.
This was the state Of things he had
grown up in. He believed it right; he
read in his Bible how Jews and Chris
tians owned slaves, and Christ and the
apostles said not a word against it. He
knew that there wasa great deal Of
kindness and fidelity in the actual rela-
tions of masters and slaves-and let the
northern reader who doubts this re-
member that as the war went on the
blacks We're left unguarded on every
plantation by the withdrawal of the
whites to the army, yet nowhere did
they rise for revolt or revenge. The
whole industrial system was built on
slavery. The slaves represented COM
mercial value of over thousand mill
ions. Well, the southerner had for
many years heard this system assailed
throughout the north, and himself de-
nounced as a criminal. He was barred
from what he considered his clear
rights of property. If his slave ran
away, the northern people would not
let him be reclaimed, though constitu-
ton and law required it. If he wanted
to go into territory, and to take with
| him his house-servants and feld-hands,
he was told he could not keep them
there. On just that point, the right to
take slaves into the territories, the Re
publicans and Democrats battled it, un-
til at last the Republicans won the elec-
ton Of Lincoln. Now the southerner
saw the national government in the
control of Il party whose avowed pur-
pose was to exclude from the territories,
and to limit and discourage, wherever
possible, the right to hold slaves. There
upon the south said to the north: ''Since
you hate our system of industry, and
mean to restrict it, and hope by and by

lBarnwen People. ]

According to the maps South Caro-
lima is very small fraction of the
United States. But many people who.
ought to know better don't, and chiefin
this category are the editorial brethren
who are trying to nominate the next:
Demo ratio candidate for the Presi-.
dency. ...
1t is safe tosay that they, singly and
collectively, do not know what they are
about. Its impossible that they can be:
fully posted as to the chances Of the
different candidates for success. Our
best men should be sent to the National
Convention, uninstructed as to choice
of candidates and principles of platform.
When they get on the ground and learn
the topography Of the party they can
act more wisely than if they are sent
hampered with unhappy instructions.
All that we want is success and the
championing Of any particular candi-
date and platform will not help the
cause particle. Give us a rest.

The Sanctiry OF the Oath.
fPee Dee Index

We would not maintain that the de-
fendant should be convicted merely be-
cause he is charged with the commits
sion of crime, but, while feeling and
sentiment incline us to be merciful, it
should be remembered that some one
has been wronged, and that the wrong
should be redressed ard the law vim
dicated. Under the criminal law the
only redress is the punishment Of the
offender, which indeed, is but meager
amends to the injured. A mans last
hope is in the honesty and integrity of
his fellow man, and when that hope is
shattered blame canot rest upon him for
defending his right and avenging his
wrongs as best he can.

THE THREE C'S.
Four Engineer Corps to be Put in the Field
and the Entire Line Located at Once.
GJohnson City Tenn Comet.

johnson City (Tenn.) Comet.l
At meeting of the officials of the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad Company in New York, on
the 18th inst, Col. 7. f. Matson was
reelected Chief Engineer and Gen.
Rosser was appointed Consulting En-
gineer, to have charge of location north
of Marion, n. c., until the grading is
completed on the southern division.
Col. r. Z. Matson returned Monday via
South Carolina and was seen by a Comet
representative and found to be full Of
important information that will be
read with pleasure by our citizens and
those interested in the future of John
ston City. He says it is the intention
of the company to complete the location
of the entire line during the coming
summer, and to do this four additional
engineer corps will be put in the field
at once. Two of the corps will be put to
work between Marion, n. c., and the
Tennessee line and two between the
Tennessee line and the Breaks at the
Kentucky line. Reports, &c, as here
tofore, to be given to the Chief Engin-
eer. The instruments, tents, costs,
&C., have been ordered, and the outfits
for two corps are expected to arrive in
Johnston City within a week. The
other two outfits will 60 to Marion,
\. G. AS has been said, the work OF
location will begin at once, but just
where the crops will commence has not
been definitely settled, but is thought
that the line will be located each way
from this place. AS to when grading
will begin no time has been fixed, but a
large Western Construction Company
is negotiating with them for the contract
for grading the uncompleted portion of
the road and propose to build the entire
line within twelve months. Whether
the contract is awarded this company
or not, it is certain that dirt will be
broken at different points along the
line during the coming spring, and will
be pushed right along as rapidly as pos
sible.
In regard to the progress along the
line, Col. Matson reports favorably.
Capt. Johnston has completed the loca-
ton through the Breaks and is now
with his corps on the Big Sandy near
Pikeville, KY. Capt. H. w. Lumsden
is progressing as rapidly with his work
of grading as the state of the work in the
Breaks will allow. 1t is said there is
some work in that section by the side on
which the gorge on the Narrow Gauge
road is prararie. That is what Capt.
Lumsden says. Capt. Ramsaur has
completed the location between Ruth
erfordton, \. c., and Marion, n. c., and
the contract for grading has been
awarded and work will be commenced
in a few weeks. Capt Ramsauri is now at
work and will complete the location on
the Augusta division, of which about
half or seventy miles, has been graded
and the contract for the balance will be
let at once and completed as rapidly as
possible. 1t is the object of the COM
pany to close up the gaps along the line
as fast as money can push it.

About Fence-Riding.
TLowdesville Advertiser. I

1t is very essential that the newspa-
pers of the country deel with living sub
jects, especially so, when the subject
involves the general interest of the peo-
pie. 1t is quite strange that some
papers studiously avoid this, lest they
b. held accountable for their action be-
fore the public bar. TO prevent this,
they straddle the fence, and assume
what they choose to call neutral
ground.
This at first glance appears legitimate,
but on examination it will be found to
depend upon certain contingencies.
This fence-riding until living ques,
tions are settled, is for want of courage
or for want of light or else because
there is want of true principle in the ed,
itor
We like to see prudence, and we like
to deal with men of caution, but there
is difference between caution and
cowardice.

Five Little Negroes Locked Up and Burned
to Death.
Especial to the Register

GREESvILLE, S. c., March 1.-Five
c)lored children were burned to death
four miles from this city last night.
They had been sent home by their
mother to make fire in the house while
she stopped on the way at neighbor's.
When the woman reached her own
home about s O'Clock last night she
found nothing but ashes and the charred
remains of the five children. Atleast
this is her story as told to the Coroner's
jury to-day. But this story is doubted
by many, as one of the children was nine
years old, and it is singular that none
ofthem escaped. 1t is believed by some
that the woman locked the children in
the house and burned them, but there
being no evidence to support the opin-
ion the verdict ofthe jury was that the
burning was accidental. The woman
had been separated from her husband,
and at the inquest did not express any
grief at the death of her children. The
name of the woman was Ellen Petty.

1t is said that Mr.. Randall is already

others which were reduced by that
tariff, that Mr.. Randall's bill will prob
