Beasley, of Plvmonth, tbo Confederate Vet. eran Camp, of New York, is like most Con federates, opposed to asking the U. 8., to pension our heroes of the "Lost Cause." The following resolution was introduced and unauimously adopted at a meeting of the Camp, held Deo., 27th : "Resolved, That the Confederate Vete ran Camp of New York, condemns in un measured terms the effort of Senator But ler, of North Caroliua, (who is not a Con federate Veterau) to debauch tho manhood of the South by seeking to obtain pensions for Ex-Confederate soldiers from the United States, and that any similar effort by any Southern member of Congress, will be abhorent to this Camp, and meet with unqualified condemnation." GIVE HIM TIIE CREDIT. Oxford Ltdger. During the recent ctmpaign in many sections of the State considerable was said in regard to the division of the school fund, so that which was collected from the ne groes should be applied to the education of their children and that collected from the whites should go to the education of their children. It is a we'l-known fact that a large ma. jorityof not only the Democraiio party but many of the Republicans favor the plan. The first man we know of to advocate this policy was iu 1880 by our old comman der, Col. W. F. Beasley, when he lived In this county, and because he was positive on this point he was turned down politically. But he was right aud it will come sooner or later. Just tbiuk of it the white people of North Carolina since the emancipation of the ne gro in round numbers have paid out $15, 000,000 to educate and try to make them good, law abiding citizens, and what thanks have tho white people received for it? Nothing but ingratitude and infamy, the negroes standing like a solid black wall against the best interest of the Anglo-Saxon race of the old North State, who have prov ed to be their best friends.
