Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second class matter.

The erection of Confederate
monument on the Eastern Shore is no
longer "a matter of doubt" and there
should be as little question as to the
place where it is to be located. There
is but one suitable point" in Acco-
mac and only two on the Eastern
Shore. That the point" is at the
county seat need hardly to be sug-
gested. So universally has this fact
been recognized in the many counties
of the State, in which Confederate
monuments have been erected, that
we believe the statement will not be
challenged, that no other place has
been thought of as being suitable.''
That the county seat has always been
selected as the site for Confederate
monuments is obvious for many rea>
sons. There 1.-The boys who wore the
gray first answered the roll call for
service and there they were expected
to report when the conflict was over.
Headquarters to them in life, 1T should
be no less so to those who would per-
petuate the name and memory OF
them when they are dead. There
monuments can be more frequently
seen because the citizens OF the coun-
ty are oftener called thither, either
on business or for other reasons, than
to any other point in the county.
Intended as they are to recall the
deeds of valor and TO keep alive the
spirit of patriotism which actuated
those to whom the monuments are
erected, of course, they should be
placed in as conspicuous place as
possible. There they are more likely
to be preserved, because under the
care of the officers of the court. There
they should be, because they are more
likely to be objects OF affection to the
citizens of the county than in any
other section of it. For the reasons
given the monument should be placed
at Accomac G. H., and for the still
better one, that the people at the
county seat and vicinity feel more
interest in it and have contributed
more literally towards it than have
the people in any other part of the
county. No other place, of course,
should be thought of or even consid-
cred as the site for the monument
but Accomac c. H. The work of our
Memorial Association, however,
should not stop here. The honored
dead of the Lost Cause should have
a monument at every county seat in
Virginia, and 1t is duty we owe TO
ourselves and our children, to see
that one is erected also at Eastville.

The Tax on Tongers.

Gloucester Court House. Va +, Nov,
13.-Judge Catlett, of the county
court here, yesterday, after hearing
an elaborate argument, held that the
fifth section of the new oyster law,
which imposes tax upon tongers, is
in conflict with the second section of
the tenth article of the constitution
of the State, and is, therefore, null
and void. An appeal will be taken
to Judge Wright, of the circuit court.
thence the case will go directly to
the Supreme Court of Appeals for
adjudication. This matter has ex-
cited widespread interest through
Tidewater Virginia.

An amendment to the State consti
tuition OF South Dakota has just been
adopted, giving the women the right
to vote in that benighted Common
wealth. This is the seventh State
which has conferred upon the sisters
that prerogative, but it is gratifying
to note, that all of the seven are on
the other side of the Mississippi river,
and it is to be hoped, that the right
of woman suffrage will be confined
there.

A CORRECTION.
DR.. Hoge Had No Idea of Going to
New York
Wilmington Messenger.l


Rev. DIR. Hoge, the able pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of this city,
was in no possible sense seeker of
the pulpit in New York made vacant
by the greatly regretted death of Rev.
DIR. John Hall. When he was asked to
preach a sermon in the absence of the
pastor, which he obligingly did, he had
not the remotest idea of being called to
succeed DIR. Hall, then living, or of be-
ing his assistant. He has never init
mated to any member VI the New York
First Presbyterian church that he de-
sired or would accept position in con-
neetion with it. New York newspaper,
had again and again given it out that
a distinguished professor at Princeton
University would be chosen. He, how
ever, was afterwards reported as having
declined Next it was announced THAI
the congregation was Overwhelmingly in
favor of very eminent minister in Lon
don. That having failed, it was an
nounced two or three weeks ago that
a son of Dr. Halls would be his success
sor. Now because DIR. Hoge nobly,
bravely, christianity stood with his race,
the entire male membership of his own
church being with him, for the preserva-
ton of law, order, peace, protection of
women and children from murder, and
the conservation of liberty and civilization
he is denounced by the aliens, and enc
mics up North and he is declared to have
sacrificed his certainty of ''call'' to the
great rich corporation, and all because,
'as it is telegraphed, he preached IAN
ante-election sermon from his pulpit re-
Gently in which he took the white side of
the race controversy in North Carolina
and declared in favor of driving the ne
groes out of the State" DIR. Hoge is
with the entire white race in North Car
DINA so far as the true men are con-
cerned. He stands not for murder and
arson and brutalites and swift ven
geancc, but for liberty and peace and en-
forcemcnt of law and good government,
and civilization and mercy. II is best for
Southern men to preach to their own
people, for up North church folks eat
of the insane root and are fanatical and
incorporate and proscriptive. DR.. Hoge
knows nothing of the article.
