Editor Clifford, whilst he has the inclina-
ton and does. occasionally, say a kind word
Of his white neighbor, Is much given to in
diligence in paragraphs Of an Incorporate
and even unhealthy character. The recent
hanging Of Parker at Winchester, tried and
convicted BY a court and jury for attempt
ing a criminal assault upon a white woman,
seems to have inHamed him, and not content
with ~denunciation Of the law and the tribu-
nal that condemned the man, essays to dis
credit the character Of the unfortunate lady
In the foregoing paragraph deuunciatory Of
the Southland. he seems 20 have overlooked
the fact that in the land where be says Gods
judgments are upon the people there are
more negroes 10 the track Of the tornado
and in fever-stricken localities than in all
the rest Of the continent and he shuts his
eyes to the ~tornadoes, wsterspOuts, devas-
tating fires, l%ynchings, &c, &c, that afiict,
now and then, the people Of the Northern
and Northwestern States, where compare
lively few negroes reside. As We stated In
the beginning, his expressions are intemPer-
ate and unhealthy and are suggestive Of the
idea that hanging has not ended with Parker.

Homo for - Confederates.

Col. R. p. Chew is a vice-president Tor
this district of the association. recently
formed. having in view the establishment
of a Home at Charleston for dependent ex-
Confederstes aud will be glad to receive
contributions toward the worthy object
which is receiving attention throughout the
State. The following are kind words we re-
produce from the Wheeling Iutelligencer I;
''Some of our active men are making ar
engagements to hold a large public meeting
ia this city in the interest OF a home lot de-
pendent ex.C onfederates. 1t is q good cause
and the Iutelligencer wishes it success
These helpless unforlunates were American
soldiers whose vslor contributed to the re-
spect in which all the world holds us as a
fighting nation. They are our fellow cltl'
zens and n~eighbors. They can have no PEN
sions, for we rightly distinguish between
them and the men who wore the blue. But
an appeal in their behalf lies to private be-
neyolence. If the movement be undertaken
with wisdom and vigor it can be put through
to success. 1t will not run on the old diyid-
ing line Of a generation ago. Now there is
no dividing line, and men of all shades OF
war time sentiments will sink them all in
the one sentiment for humanity. Go ahead
with the public meeting, brethren, and let
it be worthy of so good a cause"
