So they were married, Kerchival and
Gertrude, and Colonel Ellingham left
them Immediately after the ceremony
radiantly happy together in the midst
Of the climatic converging Of all the
storms Of war.
President Davis and his cabinet had
left Richmond by special train for
Danville Colonel Robert Eliingham
had hurried away on horseback In the
opposite direction Immediately after
the marriage ceremony to join the
army Of General Lee. now marching
out of Petersburg up the north side of
the Appomattox river toward Amelia
Court House.
The only people who remained In
Richmond were those who were poor
and could not go away. or those who,
like the Ellinghams. had home inter
ests to hold them there and no other
place to go to should they leave the
city, and those others who. like Colo
mel Kerchival West, were Union SOL
diers in Confederate prisons or on pa
role.
At the same time General Grant was
riding into Petersburg through desert
ed streets between rows of closed, 81
lent streets. The next day he started
with his army after the departing Con-
federates, his columns moving south
Of the Appomattox parallel to Lees
route north Of that stream. He had

"And yet in his official report to the

lander. 1853"
The terms OF surrender discussed
and reduced to writing at Genera
Lees request embraced the parole OF
officers and men mot to take up arms
against the government OF the United
Suites until properly exchanged;" arms
artillery and public property to be
turned over to Federal officers. this
latter provision not embracing the side
arms of the Confederate officers nor
their private horses or baggage.
Before this draft was copied In 1nR
for signing General Lee took oppor'
tunity to remark that his cavalrymen
and many of the artillerymen owned
their horses and asked whether these
men as well as the officers would Dc
permitted to retain them.
II suppose" said Grant sympathet-
ically. that great many OF the men
In your ranks are small farmers when
they are at home and in that case will
need their horses just now to put In
crops to carry themselves and their
families through next winter. Well.
then, we will have 1t set down that
any man who claims to own horse or
mule may retain the animal and take
it home with him"
THAT will have very good effect"
said Lee, much gratifed-
The Union commander acted with
good grace in his own disposition ana
at the same time was in perfect ac-
cord with the expressed wish Of Presi-
dent Lincoln at Richmond. when Gen
eral Weitzel had asked what he should
do in regard to the conquered peo-
pie"
"Oh. If were you I'd let 'em up
easy!' was Mr.. Lincoln's reply. I'D
let 'em up easy"
Indeed. the behavior Of Grant at Ap-
pomattox touched the heights of true
poetic chivalry. springing from kind
and magnanimous heart He neither
demanded nor accepted Lees sword,
as formal military custom might have
justified him in doing, but actually
apologized for not having his own,

turesque old church across the
park from the White House the gallant
and impetuous Captain Heartsease,
after an intermittent courtship that
had lasted considerably longer than the
late civil war. was finally to claim Jen-
ny Buckthorn as his unblushing bride.

Such an occasion, OF course. would

tening on from Richmond for the grand
matrimonial celebration Of the wars
ending. Dr. Ellingham had promised to
come with them. The headquarters of

Buckthorn.

foreseen that Lee in his retreat would
endeavor to reach Amelia Court House
where his separate columns coming
from Petersburg and Richmond could
unite and where he might expect to
receive supplies.
Two days later, the retreat contnu-

force upon the Confederate rear guard

On April Z the Confederates stopped
at Farmville to feast. having come up
with the first provisions that had
reached them since leaving Petersburg,
and to fight again. This time they
succeeded in beating off Sheridan's
cavalry and pushed on another stage
toward Lynchburg.
But the once great army Of Northern
Virginia was now reduced to two small
corps of infantry, and the cavalry
corps under Generals Fitz Lee. Gordon

Colonel Robert Ellingham was with
Gordon, whose cavalry corps, after
fighting all the way from Petersburg
as rear guard for the wagon trains,
was now transferred to the front.
"My corps is worn to a FRAGILE" said
the gallant Gordon at the campfire
council on the night Of the 9Th, but If
the force beyond Appomattox Court
House Is Sheridan's cavalry alone we
can hold 1t until Longstreet comes up
and then cut through.
The attack was made at daybreak.
There was a moment when it took on
the Fictitious look Of victory as the
Confederate lines charged. cheering
wildly, and redoubled their fire as the
Union cavalry slowly fell back. They
did not know that Sheridan already
had the game in his hands and was
now only skirmishing for a wind-up
without mourning any more loss than
should be absolutely needful. No soon
er had the cavalry disappeared from
their front than Lees troops saw the
solid infantry lines Of the Army of the
James massed before them. ready for
an attack. Longstreet. covering the
Confederate rear. was at the same
time threatened by Meade with su.
nerior force and could not come to
Gordon's aid. The firing suddenly
ceased. The Confederate line halted,
hesitated, then sullenly faced about
and fell back upon the confused, for

huddled around Appomattox Court
House.

Sheridan to General Haverill. passing

until white flag Of truce appeared in
the distance, approaching like a re-

The theory OF suffrage a. an Office
and not . right was advanced By
Prof. w. J. Shepard Of the. political
science department Of the Universtty
at . meeting Of the Social Science
Club Friday night. He denounced the
idea Of - right to vote" a. . prin-
ciple evolved during the middle ages
and based on . confusion Of the
electorate and the people. He sx-
planned that suffrage ID function of
government and should BE- regarded
a. a public trust The question who
shall vote should be determined BY
educational and moral tests and not
confused with citfsenship.
THE right Of citizenship and the
qualifications for voting should be
separated" Professor Shepard reason
ed. "The theory that the two are In
separable traces back to the barbar-
ian hordes from which our western
civilization has developed"
The belief in the right to vote. he ex-
planned. rests on the theory Of the
state as q social compact and the
theory Of popular sovereignty. Sover-
eighty is a legal concept The con-
cept of the people II sociological. The
doctrine Of popular sovereignty con-
fuses the sociological and legal con-
cepts. On this error the right to vote
is imputed to all people.
I'm advocating the rights Of the
people," Professor Shepard said. "as
in the initiative and referendum and
the recall Of judges, the electorate
and the people are confused. These
are advocated - the rights Of the
people whereas the suffrage II ex-
tended to only q small part Of the
people and the majority rule greatly
reduces the number who actually de-
eide the issue.
THE doctrine of abstract right to
vote il now obsolete among political
scientists. There are no natural gov
ernmental rights. What rights we
have come from the state and are not
antecedent to the state.
"This doctrine Of natural rights Ii

A GROWING SERVICE.

Greater grows the service Of the
University to the state. Closer 1t geta
to the people. Professional courses
are carrying its benefits directly ia
the taxpayers.
The establishment Of q short course
for nurses 10 in harmony with the
plan to get nearer to the people. The
short course in agriculture. automo-
bile engineering. road-making and the
extension courses are taking the Uni
versity directly to the people. It Ia
truly becoming the peoples univer-
sity.
The spirit of the times demands
immediate results. The old curricu-
lum satisfies no longer. Professional
training is the order Of the day. The
extension Of the University to the
people will do much toward bringing
their confidence and goodwill to the
University. The state Is its studen.

SPENDING TO SAVE.

The Mayor and the City Council
should be commended on the lowering
Of the insurance rates in Columbia.
Formerly the city levied . IS tax on
all companies that operated here.
These companies in turn increased
their rates and threw the whole bur-
den on the property owners Of the
town. Not only did they get in return
what the license cost but they doubled
that amount and. in many cases. re-
ceived ten times what they paid out.
Since the act has been repealed.
the rates will have to be lowered.
The city spent q few hundred dollars
in taxes to save the people of Colum-
bia thousands Of dollars.
