The Confederate Pension.

When Gen. Lee, who had to
bear the brunt Of the conflict be-
tween the States when he at last
laid down his arms, he had less
than thirty thousand men in his
command. Gen. Grant had many
thousands more; but all taxpay ers
know that to day, a generation
having elapsed since the close of
the gigantic struggle, there are
nearly one million northern PEN
sioners, with two hundred thousand
claims for pensions pending.
The number who have died, or
who did not apply for pensions.
Or whose claims have been rejected,
cannot be given; but it will not be
considered unreasonable to esti-
mate tho total at two million men.
At any rate, one in every fifty of
the entire population in the north
ern Statesmen, women and chill
dren-is a pensioner, nearly forty
years after the firing of the last
gun.
The burden is heavy, indeed
SO heavy that all the taxation of
the Dingley bill, covering as it
does hundreds Of articles Of daily
consumption, with drag net clauses
;sweeping in many more unnamed,
does not meet the appropriation
for pensions alone. No other ex-
penses of the government, includ-
ing interest upon the bonds and
the support of the army and navy,
are paid from the internal reve-
nue., or from loans. Tho two
stand together as the direct pro-
duct of the Republican party
the pensions and the Dingley bill.
The Republican policy has fasten-
el upon the country a charge for
pensions beyond that Of any other
country, and it has inflicted upon
the country tariff bill that brings
great revenues to the trusts, but
not enough into the treasury to
meet the appropriation for pen
sions alone.
Through the haze of pension
claims an indirect and oppressive
taxation, there shines the fact that
the meagre ranks of Confederate
soldiery bravely withstood a vast
host four long year. No better
proof of the valor and endurance
OF the soldiers of the Confederacy
is needed than can be had in the
claims filed in the pension Office
at Washington. Every affidavit
and paper in that building is tes
timonial to the torn and tattere(

Ee Was Brought Here From Texas Yester-
day Afternoon: VIII be Taken to
Raleigh Tomorrow.
Daily Argus, Dec. 8.
Sheriff Scott and ex- Sheriff D.
A. Grantham arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon from Texas
bringing with them the white
man Gil Ward, the murderer of
the unfortunate white woman
Mag Dinkins, in this county sew
eral years ago.
1t was intended to leave Ward
in Wake county jail; but the
sheriff subsequently decided to
bring him on here and confne
him in this Jail, where he is now
securely lodged. The next thing
now is to secure the witnesses,
who are said to be skulking, or
spirited away, and give him a
speedy trial-justice in his case
having been already too long
thwarted.
It would be hard-if not impos-
sible, to imagine a more heinous
murder than this man committed;
taking a poor, defenceless, weak,
confiGing woman, beating her
AMI chasing her across the fields
to neis hoor's house, there beat
ing her again and driving
her forth. and then in the
yard beating her again, and
finally calling her back to him
and taking hold Of her with his
left hand ne drew his knife from
his pocket with his right hand,
opened it with his teeth, lest she
might escape him, and stabbed
her to the heart, cutting one OF
her rios il two with the violence
Of his deadly blow. She stag.
gered to the steps and fell: be,
lips moved, but she spoke not
her eye-lids futtered, her head
sank upon the door sill-she was
dead. Let US hope that those NOV.
ing lips, poor stained creature tha
She was, were Uttering a prayer
for mercy to Him who is power
ful to save even to the uttermost
Gil XFard, her murderer, imme
diateiy escaped to the woods ant
finally to Texas. He is now, a
! length, in the hands Of the law
Let justice be done, or else let th'
law against murder be wipe<
from our statue books.
Gil Ward will be taken to Sa
leigh jail tomorrow under al
order from Judge Robinson, ant
will ce held there until Januar,

Mrs. Sarah Jones Succumbs to an Attack
of Heart Failure at the Home of Her
Daughter Mrs. F. z. Borden, in This
City.
Daily Argus Wednesday, Dec. 9Th.
Just as we go to press we are
panied to learn of the sudden
death of Mrs. Sarah Jones, the
venerable mother of Mrs. Frank
Z. Borden. which occurred at the
home Of her son-lnslaw, MIR.
Borden, in this city at I 80 o'clock
this afternoon, Of heart failure.
She had just returned from driv-
ing with her daughter, and was
walking across the room to lie
down on a lounge when she sank
down under the sudden stroke
and expired before medical aid
could reach her.
Mrs. Jones was indeed a most
estimable, Christian, motherly
woman, universally beloved
throughout a wide acquaintance,
and her death will be as widely
and sincerely nourned.
The blow, all unexpected as it
was, is heavy indeed in the house
hold Of her home, and there the
sympathy Of the entire community
clusters with inexpressible tender
ness in this hour of unfathomable
sorrow; for the fondly loving
and dutiful daughter whose ten
derest care she was in her de-
clining years; fer the other
daughter who is away, Mrs. J.
H. Wissler, of Wytheville, Va,
who has been telegraphed the
sad news, and who will join the
funeral cortege at Moncure
Chatham county, tomorrow,
where the remains will be taken
on the train that leaves here to-
morrow for interment in the
family plot, beside her late hus
band.
Mrs. Jones was a fervent chris
tian, a deYoat member of the
Methodist church, and walked
with God in the joy of His service
and now doth she surely "see His
face as one Of His elect eterna
in the Heavens.
