THE GLEANER. K. 8. PARKER, Edi or. GRAHAM, N. C. APRIL 20, 1^75. • • * TIT* : [These columns are open to the [free discussion of affairs. The GLEAREIi is not responsible for the opinions expressed by correspondents.'] fc&w . ' —» ta TIIEIR TRCTH OR REASON IN ITf The policy of the Republican party seems yet to be an appeal to the fca -s of the people. It makes no sort of differ ence whether their is the slightest ground for apprehension or not, if im" agination suggests anything possible to be done, that would in its effect be dam' aging to the people, they forthwith raise the cry that the democratic party, if it gets the power, will do that thing. Republican newspapers and speakers Ignore the fact that there are democrats in the State who must live under and obey the laws as well as they; and who must be benefitted by good laws and injured by bad ones in common with all the citizens Of the State. Just now they are trying to frighten the people into the belief that their homestead,will be in danger by the action of a demo cratic majority in the Convention, which is to- assemble next September, for the purpose of amending the constitution; and to which delegates are to be elected next August. Many of our people, by the results of the war, were forced to take the benefit of the homestead, pro vided by law, to save to themS&lves and families a home. These people have been and aro now anxious about their right to continue to hold this hotrestead. The republicans know this, hence their attempts to frighten them. The Democratic party, recognizing this 1 anxiety, and wishing to allay it, by the act calling a convention declared that said convention should not inlcrtere with the homestead clause of this pres ent constition. That this restriction will be observed, by all democrats, there is and can bo no doubt. Democrats ac knowledge (he biuding force ofthis and the other restrictions in the act calling a Convention ; the republicans do not. There is no man iu the State, of ordinary intelligence, who believes that the demo ratic party, would if it could iu any manner, directly or indirectly, impair the benefits of, or the title to the home stead. The homestead is a democratic m casure. The democratic party introduced it into our law. No democratic newspaper er democratic speaker has ever opposed it. The Legislature of North Carolina at its session of 1866-7; before the re. publican party had turned over to it in thi» State some eighty thousand negro voters, not one of which so for as we ever heard had an interest in a home stead provision, provided hy tow a homestead aud personal property ex emption, more liberal in many respects than the one we now have. When the present constitution was submitted to for ratification iu 1868, not a democratic uewspaper or speaker, that wo have over heard of, opposed its rati fication because of its homestead provis ion, (but ou the contrary they endorsed that. Since then a Legislature over whelmingly democratic has made the homtotead a fee simple—gives it to a man jand his heirs forever, instead of leaving him with only a life estate. There Is not a single act of the demol cratio party, that can be pointed to, tha* indicates any opposition to the home stdad. There is neither common sense iter reason in the charge, that the dem. ocratic party wish to impair in the flighted degree, the homestead; on tho /contrary there is unmistakable evidence that tho Democratic party has done and will do aU in its power to render it se cure. Those who havo lost their home" steads have loat them by the ruling Of rcpublican Judges. Nlm tenths of all the people of the Stata, who to-day are enjoying practica l benefits from the exemption of a home' stead, are democrats. Tho republican party consulting the interest of its mem bers is comparatively not much interest ed in the homestead. There was never anything more ridiculously absurd than to charge the democratic party with the slightest wish or desire to im_ pair in any manner the blessings of the law that secures to the unfortunate debtor s home for himself and family while, ha Uvea and ahould he die, then to his wife and little children. Those who charge it, know there Is no ground for the charge. It is done to frighten and deceive. The) only ex cuse for them is that opposition to con. vention fnmishea nothing better for them to say, and they feoljcallod upon to mf something. (. Better try something else; have just a little more sense than you seem to think. Why, your power to frighten the negroes even is not nearly so great aa it was. With their limited capacity, and almost ntter want of information they have caught yon so often (hat your influence yon better tell the people, that the dera Convention, will frame a constitutioi disfranchising all who will not swear to vote the democratic ticket, and Rick every man, who has a homestead allot ted. whom he may meet ? It would be equally reasonable and sensible, and might frighten somebody. W» IV. nCBANK, The following well deserved compli ment we take from the Raleigh News. It is as beautifully said as richly merited We know Mr. Mebane and from -oift knowledge of him, and from what we have heard those very capable ot judg ing, who were members with him, say of his course, ability and usefulness ;is a legislator, we doubt not lieis entitled to every word of commendation and praise given hiin. lie is quite a young man and not one of those constantly seeking preferment, but one who modestly waits for place and position to seek him. The News says: "In our notices of members of the lat&General Assembly, one name arises so conspicuous "for its purity, yet so delicate in its modesty, thai nothing but a sympathy in that modesty has deferred our notice of W. N. Mebane, of Rockingham, to the present time. He never sought prominence. He had none of that ambition to shine which impels a disregard*to time and fitness for pnrposes of display. When he did speak, it was when there was occasion for it. x And when lie did speak, it was with no uncertain sound. There was left no doubt of his powers of mind, t>f his integrity of purpose, of his zealous energy for the attainment of his objects. Mr. Mebane was our ideal of the pure, incorruptible, conscientious legislator, always at his post, always vigilant for the interest Of his constituents?and of the State, always fired by the warmest sentiments of State pride, but Always honest, and having no toleration for duplicity. We recall two occasions in Mr. Mebane's legislative career in which he sh&ne with distignished lustre. One was the debate 011 the usury bill, which he opposod with a skill and earnestness which, in a body not already predeter mined on its action, would have clown ed his efforts with The wis dom of this measure is to be approved b\ its conseqenceß, but the arguments of Mr. Mebane were so clear, So sound and so forcible, that.wc look'backj and wonder that they could not impress all with the same effect. His zeal in the University bill entitles him to immortal 4 honor. No man worked more earnestly or more per sistently to combat the adverse in fluences arrayed against this beneficent measure. The eloquence of Mr. Strong I had the effect we ascribed to it, but his influenco does not detract in tlie least from the generally admitted instrumen tality of Mr. Mcbane in reversing the tide of disaster. liis name too will be coupled in imperishable memory with the reviving fortunes and future fame ofthe University of North Caroliua.' LOUISIANA* Tho Louisiana Legislature assembled last week. The compromise was con cured in, almost uuanimously. The Committee on elections made report, embodying tho terms of the award) which was adopted in the llousc by a vote of 82 to 15. Nearly all (the mem bers displaced made, speeches acquies ing. Poiudext'er, one of the negro members ousted by the award, and the leport of the committee, said; that in giving up his seat he had the satisfac tion of knowing that his old master who had nlways been just and kiud to him, would take it; that was an honor which did not occur every day. A joint resolution recognizing the Kellogg Government and pledging members to - support the Governor in any efforts he may make at reform and good govern" mcnt was adopted by tho House by a vote of 89 to 18. Thus 1t seems the democrats have at last been eoerced in to a compromise of their rights, and of the rights of State government. "We trust peace, qniet and a better govern ment may in some sort reward them for the sacrifices they were virtually forced to make. No people have ever shown a greater disposition for peace, quiet and good government than the people of the South, yet nothing but allegiance to the republican party can save them from the accusations of being rebels, conspirators and banditti. Tho Marnati Caarl mm* Hllllctl Dr. jfc, . eioiona, ,e ■ ■ New York, April 13th—Thb state ment is made upon excellent authority Unit the Supreme Court will not render any decisions of a political nature at this terra of the Court. Postponing all such until after tho foil elections. This has given rise to a story wuich is cred ited in high quarters that the Court has been polled and a majority found oppos ed to declairing the enforcements acts constitutional. The belief is that the Court will sustain the views taken by Judge Bradley in the Louisiana case irom which au appeal was taken and tho case brought into tho Supreme Court* Exchange. Mrs. Mary Lewis Hardee, widow of the late General W. 3. Hardee, died at St. Angostine, Florida, on the 6th of last month. Mrs. Bar dee was a daughter of the late Henry LewU, Esq., of Pitt county North Carolina, and sister of Colonel Irey F. Lewis, formerly of this State but uow a citizen of Alabama. j THE FARMER AND HIS FRIENDS v Ilow the idea became so general that farming is a business, requiring 3 * but little knowledge, and little uatural 1 ability for Unsuccessful prosecution is a question that really puzzles us much. That this idea has been, if it is not now I general among thosein other trades and . professions, it is idle,to deny, j To say that a man is a farmer, is | equivalent, in the view of many, to say that he is an honest plodding kind of a person, wlu> knows about eilough to I plow,sow and grow corn, and feed cat j tie, but is entirely unfit lor a legi&lafor, I or for taking any active part in the gov j erinent of tlfe country, or itmnyihrng else requiring quick perception, and an active well trained mind. They are, howeveiythe bone and sin 11c of tlic]l;ind, and Jiold ..largely the balance of power, that moves the wheels of government, and unless by co-oper atiyn they exercise that plabe and urge the public 'councils or bodies, of cor rupt men and .place in their stead men of more nerve, dignity, principle and honor, who will not betray or deceive an honest constituency by selling Out to rnonied rings of the country. I tear the day of our deliverance from oppression and ruin is not yet named. The merchant, lawyer, manufacturer, or banker, after having acquired a competence, often feels a desire, for ru ral pursuits as a kind of past time. They find the intellectual work in which they have engaged, is wearing j upon their brains, They imagine farming Avill require some thought, to be sure, but not enough to make a riffle on the great ocean of their vast minds. Another class of the larmers' friends | are very anxious to become their scien tific instructors. With fair scientific ; attainments or perhaps with only a su perficial knowledge of pbenastry and a smattering of geology, thej feel great pity for the farmer, on account of their ignorance, and particularly of those sciences nearly related to agriculture. They are very anxious to give I hem the benefit of their great acquirements, to elevate the. profession to its proper po sition, and themselves to places of profit and distinction. This is a very accommodating class,— extremely self-sacrificing, always will ing to let their light shine, consequent ly they are on hand on all occasions, to figure in .agricultural addresses and lectures, write prize essays which they deem to be extremely wise, because ex tremely unintelligible to farmers, who in the main know but little of what they say or write; of ammonia, hydrogen, oxygen, sulphates, sulphites and such like, nevertheless they are all right and proper. The plain uneducated farmer reads or listens to snch language for a time, and comes to the conclusion the speaker is a fool and leaves in disgust, These men consider and tell us the opinions of Leibig and other smaller agricultural chemists, is both law and gospel, which it would be the height of tolly to question, while the experience of a hundred practical men, for a series of years, is but a succession of blunders. The farmer has still another class of warm friends, that seep, to be iu a chrysalis state, or at least dormant, most of the time, and are active, and only a little time, during tho summer and fall of every two or four years, previous to btate or Presidential elec tions, during this period, this class of friends are full ot action, extremely diligent aud bold. Indeed their love for the farmer is truly astonishing, they will freely assert that the farmers arc tho most independent, the most in telligent, tho most virtuous and trust worthy class in tho community; and but f»r therj the country would have gone to ruin long ago. Thoy consider it a great honor to as sociate with such men as tho larmers, and tell you that nothing but self-sacri ficing patriotism, the duty they owe to their couutrv, because perchance they have been compelled (compelled in deed) to accept the honor and the very great responsibility to which they have beenQalled with such Unanimity to fill some important position, in Congress, tho Legislature or accept the chance for a magistrate or constatable in some townships (if nothing better can be had). Bi\t for these demauds upon them by the dear people, for whom they prof ess so much love and admiration, noth ing could possibly prevent them from engaging at once iu the calling so truly enobling, as that of forming. These friends of the farmers figure largely too, at state, county and town fairs, and malce most of the addresses; their labors are arduous, their love aud admiration tor th« working class, beams with teal aud is unbounded, but alas! after the election their feelings sudden ly subside, and they are not neard from for the next two or four years. We like the signs of the times. Farm ers are moving iu the rigut direction, and will not mueh longer be deceived. Thoy have always thought; and they are now beginning to talk and act for 1 themselves. We see abundance of evi , dence of this in the discussions that are going on all over the land, which has Hi ready done much good in check-ma -1 ting many growing evils in the coun i try. i Let the good work go on. Farmers insist on that which is right, ask a rea son for all statements that appear to yonr minds unreasonable, and that fails 1 to accord with your experience, freely > and manfully for the reason, that with ■ yon, one ounce of experience is worth > a ton of untried theory. r M. » Howell Grange, 168, Co Shops, N. C., April 12th, 1975. GEIVEUAIi KORDOK AND TIIE ] ' VICE •PRESIDENCY. ! 4 reporter of the Atlanta Herald in terviewed General GorHon, and, in re ply to the question "Will you allow the use of your name" in connection with the Vice Presidency ? The General re plied -- ' ,ft -V' : ' "I will not, under any set of circum stances. Even if '1 were nominated I would withdraw my name.,'- My reasons for this statement, to-day madfe public for the first time, are that I b«- , lieve that a Sourthern manoji the ticket would weaken it ~ And as much as per sonal ambition might tempt me to yiuld to the partial suggestions of my friends, I would not for all the honors in the gift of the American people, feel that I had been the means ot driving one man from the support of that ticket on whose success depends the future peace and prosperity of my country . I have but one object —that is, the rc-oslab lislimqnt ortiarnlony, of good will, and of good, government. To jkhis end all things'else shall be secondary. "I have had letters from committees, from friend® andj from sympathisers, asking me to allow.ihe use of ray name in this connection. I now give them through you, my authorized and un alterable answer. We occupy to-day very much the position assigned in the East, after the crusades. Richard COD de Loen. For nearly oije hundred years afterwards, when a horse would shy around a bush, the 'rider, would ask if he saw a Richard , and mothers frightened their babes into quiet by telling them Richard was coining, j Just so these Radicals are attempting to frighten the North by constantly harrowing them with a rebel's ghost. This will not have its effect long with people of sensein any section, however. Yet so powerful is this feeling at present that np Southern man who has his country's good at heart will allow him self to be placed in any position calcu lated to keep alive these hurtful passions." The Raleigh News is urging the white voters in that city to register. Why are our people so negligent and careless ot their own interest? Our de feat in many places and upon many oc casions in the past has been sorely at tributable to our own folly and careless ness. How long are we to continue thus negligent? Democrats and Conser vatives everywhere in every election, county, state and municipal are arous ing themselves and sweeping republi cans from power. Are we alone to re main cnactive and thus contribute to tho success of republicans? If we do we are properly answerable for the sins we thus permit. Want of action, prompt and energetic action is criminal, and those exhibiting it are very seriously compromisng their standing as demo crats or conservatives. SILLY GIRLS.—The fool-killer, says the New York Tribune , should be lei loose at once among the young ladies of this metroplis. It is reported, on the most undoubted authority, that a number of young women havo formed a club for the purpose of glorifying the charms of a popular young actor, whose personal beauty greatly overbalances his moral character. They have called it after his name, and the condition of membership is I hat each new comer shall give a dinner to the charmer, inviting, of course, all the old members. No other man is allowed to be present. This is bad enough, but tho worst is yet to come. One ot the meqpbcrs, who might be called the most woe begone idiot of the lot, has fitted up a shrine in the sacred recesses of a closet, where she keeps candles burning con tinually around a photograph likeness of the adored, and sits before it in ad miration hours at a time. A startling case of sonambulism oc cured at Murfreesboro, N. C., a few evenings since. One of the young lady students of the M. F. College during the night got up from her bed, threw over herselt a loose wrapper and star ted down town. She went to Colonel Vaughan's residence, and into bis room and laid on a lounge. It greatly sur prised and frightened the Colonel, though he knew something was wrong, and did not molest the "sleeping beauty.'. Soon Rev. W. Q. Starr was informed where the girl was and went after her. He took her back to (he col lege and carried her to the bedroom and ensconced her in bed, and left the room. The young lady, on awakening next morning, knew nothing of where she had perambulated, or anything al out her nocturnal visit. It is kept a pro found secret from her, as it would be likely to seriously mortify and frighten her if told of the circumstance. Jas. Fontleroy Taylor of Raleigh save that the Mecklenburg declaration of in dependence was made the 31st of May instead of the 20th. fie is going to Chad! lolte on the 31st to celebrate the JMPi tennial, and go it alone "on the Indi vidual responsibility of his own person al curve. 1 1 11 1 "■ 1 - A genteel farmer In It—■ ahujwttn, a wfeti Bostonian, didn't know bow to take a wagon wheel off to greate the axle, and so he bored holes through the hub and poured In the grease.
