I am uol happy. don* uiunllia ago t
wrote to our yunkee friends that If
they were centlnaeu they would apolo
3me (or all they done u us doling that
eriltab war ued after. I sever re
eelvsd but one letter oo Chet lino aud
that *ai from a native boiu federal
soldier who said he was friendly and
that If I would wrltn out uu apology
and lead it tu him lie would sign It.
He seemed to be properly repentant.
And now cornea the editor nf tine New
York Herald ddwn heie to In well gate
our lynching buslneaa and to philoso
phic* upon It, aod ha aeya the north
made a mistake In giving the negro
tbe right of euOraga, hut lie Uoeeent
apologue. He was one 'of the prime
lesdert Id tbe whole butloeeu i.nd
I peaks of It as a mistake. It was no
ml risk #. It was malicious Ignorance,
and why doeenent he ear so V It haa
taken him and ble folks thirty yuare to
Bod o«t Urey knew bat little about ui
end nettling about the negro. Senator
Ingalls has got more tense and more
candor. He canes down to Texas tea
year* ago to Investigate and west bom*
and wrote a letter In which he said
the negro wae not Bl for the ballot aud
Uist the north lied made an egregious
blunder In giving it to Mm. lie didant
apologize, but he came pretty near It.
Now, a mlitake doesn't Involve any
moral. turpitude, but a nialicioos
blunder does. Tbe time haa pasted for
aoy more truckling. The stage of dea
perutloate upon the south aud political
humility to the north baa passed. We
never felt that humility, but our politi
cians have preached It and tried to get
something from lha public crib by pre
tending we were bumble wlicn we were
not.
Tba truth It that tba north It respon
sible for every outrage and every lynch
ing at tbe aoutli. litre la lie Atlanta
Am, a negro paper Ibai U published by
w. A. Pledger, that copies every v«tve
in ou* article from the New York
lapers about tliv Sam IToll bueli.vei,
and Pledger writaa to the New York
A'un that he is shocked at Governor
Uendler's otteraocra and ha says that
tba good nag roe* of tba south are op
posed to these outrage* on oar woaeu.
The paper la pregnant with comment
on the lynching. I reckon that la all
right, for the liberty of the presi mutt
not ba restrict#J. But nevertheless
tlveae utteraneci from Pledger’s paper
go-through the educated negro element
and settle tin couviollona and thereby
coma* torn# more outrage* aud some
more lynching*. New Yortr nigger*
oome out in their papers mud advise tba
•botgnu and tbe torch In retaliation,
and those things tr* copied to the
negro papers nt the south.
Hot here Is the comfort: Unolc Sots
Is still helping me in my garden end
doesn't know and doesu't care any
thing about all tbit business. He says
ba was horn a slave and for thirty

man is grieved.
I was ruminating about all tbli and
how these negroes have all bttn fooled
about Grant and Lincoln being tbalr
friends and wsr* fighting to free them,
when there it not a word of ttnth la It.
Neither of them oared a continental
dim* for the negro and both of
them were more oonctrued about their
own successes than anything else. Hot
f have bad great regard for Lincoln,
lie waa a much batter man than his
party and hit death was a calamity to.
the south, I bar* reoently received a
little volume entitled “The Qeoesi* of
Abraham Lincoln." it u etrefullv
asd affectionately Written bv Jams*
H. Uatbey. of western North Carolina,
and Its unprejudiced perusal will con
viaee any man that Abraham Lincoln
waa a toe of Abraham Eoloe, and that
Naaey Hanks was a good orphan girl
who oervtd In Knioe'a family. The affi
davits and other evidences establish this
beyond dispute. Old father Abraham
Knloa was a second Abrebam nod poor
Nancy Hanks a second Unger and for
the «mo reason ah* was rent away
from the paternal homestead to keep
peace la the fatally. Th# father of
bar child had great regard for her and
placed her with hi* relative* In Kao
toeky, where she afterward* married
Thomnt Lincoln. Home of lh« wit
nensM to there facts urs now ninety
ysare oM sad leave passed all desire to
deceive anybody. Tba descendant* of
this Eoloe family tie numerous and
their testimony has been taken fruM
Xerth Carolina, Missouri and Trias,
and all confirm tba story. All the very
old pro pie In North Carolina were vary

Naw, Mr. Cathey writes a petty littlei
book about It sad his mouse la that the
troth cannot hurt the llrtng nr the
dead; that Abraham Llaonln waa

than should bo no attempt to oload
