The leaders of the Whig and Democratic parties, of ante-bellum days, were men however ardent and enthusias tic, above the suspicion of in sincerity or political dishones ty. They felt sure they were right, and they went ahead, never stopping to calculate the consequences to themselves. To them, to belong to a party was a matter of principle, and to ad vocate the principles of their party with earnestness and zeal a matter of the highest duty. j m 3 convict:;: ; v. re r.ot lntenerea with.

Of the Treasury, Mr. ; Wincom of Minnesota. -l ITe has'been in public life in one capacity or another for over thirtyyears, during which time he' has used 'the "spoils system" for all it was worth, and now finds in his old offici al days, that it was a delusion and a snare. Ever since 1860 he has been in one or the other House of Congress and in the Cabinets. During all this time he has been assiduous in what is usually denominated) "look ing after his friends," in put ting friends into places and enemies out, regardless J of the j want of 'fitness of the former, or the merit of the latter. ' ITe has filled post offices with his I adherents andmade thej rounds of the Bureaus and 'Depart ments to secure clerkships with which to pay oil his political obligations. Tie has proved himse lf to be a man of more than average ability, an -active representa tive, an intelligent Senator and a respectable Secretary of the Treasury. In 1880 he was voted for at Chicago for President, dur ing the session, eleven hundred and fifty-seven bills, ami in the Senate one thousand and 'eigh ty. Of these about five hun dred passed and have become laws. The other seventeen hundred, some of them freight ed with many hopes, "have gone glimmering as a dream of things that were." The redisricting of the State the reorganizing of -the Board of Agriculture, the allowing local assessments in aid of pub lic schools,' the adoption of the code, the Cape Fear and Yad kin Valley railroad and the Western N. C. Railroad bills were among thai most impor tant bills that were passed. Several bills in which it' was said the people felt a deep interest were defeated, 'among them, the most important per hatts. was the bill creating a Railroad Commission. Their acts of commission and omis sion are before the public, have passed into history, and will survive many of the actors for good or evil. It is to be hoped that the general result has been to the advantage of the State and to the good of the people. Words of Wisdom. and was in every rospect en tilted to consider himself one of the coming, men in 'politics. In 1881 when he thought it de sirable" to resign his position as Senator he was strong enough to secure the appointment of his successor. When he wished to return to the Senate! to serve out his own term, like Simon f bas Cameron of Pennsylvania, lie : wide-awake, practically dictated who should take his place. Such jwas the career of Mr. Windom up to 1881. - j In 1883 when his experience and ability are greatest and his Wilson and Florence Railroad. - There seems to be no doubt now that in the near future this road will be built. The impor tance of shortening the Atlan tic Coast line by a new road connecting these two points long been felt, , and the energetic Presi dent of the Wilmington & Wel don, Wilmington "&- Augusta Road sometime since directed a survey to be made. Presi dent Bridgers has since made a personal inspection of the intellectual powers at their best he finds himself cast off, and rewarded with a bitter and hu miliating defeat. Th? moral is brief and pointed. He trusted to offices and rewards! to the friendship of piacej-seekers, j and he raised up enemies who j used his own weapons upon ! him to his utter undoing. It i should teach every aspirant for political honors, that lie must rely on ability and character for an. honorable position in j public. ' And then he will not ; be likely to become like hiirtj whose career we have been trac I ing a hanger on for some kind j of place, and a seekeij for fie- crumbs, as he has doled them out to others for years. I An ex- country through which it is proposed to build the road, and now we learn. from the Fayette- ville -Obscrrer that Col. Gardner with his corps of engineers has reached that place, and that the line between Fayette ville and Wilson has been definitely located. This will be good news to the people along the proposed route, as they have long felt the need of railroad facilities. With a rich soil and a heavily timbered coun try, the v have been , unable to make either avilable for want of transportation and inacces sibility to market. This road will pass through one of the best farming portions of Wil son and Johnston counties and We were much impressed this week with a conversation we had with one of the most successful and intelligent far mers in Wilson county on the sheep and dog question. lie is a resident Of Saratoga township, where there is abundant range of the best ! pasture land and where the raising of sheep might be made profitable if it were not for the ravages of the docs. lie has- since, the war o tried to make it profitable but so many jof his sheep were kill ed by the dogs that he is almost ready to abandon his effort to raise them. On one occasion after twenty five head of his shftpn had been killed in one night by the dogs, he deter tfiinftd to tret uo.-a petition re- . . . questing .the representative from this county to use his in fluence to have a dog law pass ed, and after keeping the peti tipn several days lie . could ob tain but a few signitures be cause, as he said, nearly al whom he asked to sign said, "Well I've got a dog. but I don' own anv sheen and 1 don t see how it can benefit vie." Ant for this selfish motive they re fused to sign and lent their m fluence to killing an industry that might be made one of the most profitable in this State. This clear-headed farmer friend further said, and we commend his remark to every farmer in North Carolina: "The reason that farmers can never accom plish any object is because you can never get more than two or three of them to agree on any one thing. They do not feel the need of any concerted ac tion and each one pulls a differ ent way, and the consequence is they never accomplish any thing. Men who follow other occupations have some concert ed action ; they know they have a "community of interest" and they work together. When farmers wake up and realize that without this "pulling to gether" they cannot accomplish anything they will make some impress on the world;iintil then they will be "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for others.'"- There is more wisdom in the view of this farmer than all the political economy in the country. - f n without the trouble of writ- j bad man than any we "i- , -.. . -i. tt: Evans was j All ms worn is ennvuiim:. m- contract is with nature. .

Whether the words quo- by his bill which passed and i ted may be tinged with disap pointment and regret we kiiow We publish on the fourth page of this issue a well writ ten article by our talented friend, W. . Henry Esq., of Raleigh, on "Cotton and Com mission Merchants." Tt is an old and a trite subject, yet Mr. Henry has written of it in such a manner as to make it inter esting. The great need of the South, -.and of -North Carolina especially, is practical farmers farmers who raise their own supplies and do not keep their smoke-houses in the West. In (this article Mr. .Henry has given 'precept upon precept, ' to show how the system of plant ing all cotton is ruinous to the South and we hope the farmer readers of the Apvaxck will give it. a careful resolve in the future to first j raise their supplies and then i give their attention to cotton. I We think Mr. Henry' draws! too gloomy a view of the situa- j tion when he says that "North Carolina is on the verge .of a financial crisis." The State is more prosperous than it has ever been and the only way to keep it prosperous is we take it for farmers to be self-sustaining. Wilson and the surrounding country. Mrs. Daniels, a most estimable lady who has been postmistress at Wilson for twelve years, and who gave the campletest satisfaction to the people of all parties and colors, discharging the duties with the utmost fidelity and punctuality has been displaced, and because her young son, Mr. Josephus uaniels, is the editor of a Dem ocratic paper. A faithful offi cial is to be turned out becanse her son belongs to a party op posed to the Administration. The North Carolina Radicals make war upon a lady and ap piy to her a political test, when under the law she cannot exer cise the elective franchise. This, waring upon women is a noble work for men. But what else can yon expect of the Rad ical party in North Carolina? A fellow named Sharp was selected by a certain set and Arthur sent in his name to a Republican Senate. For rea sons satisfactory to that body it refused to confirm the ap pointment. Would a Republi can body refuse to confirm the appointment of a man as post master of a small town if there were not the gravest reasons for so doing? Well, what was the next dodge? IFhy, after the Senate adjourned they got Ar thur to appoint Sharp's wife, which' of course is equivalent to appointing Sharp himself. It is a mere dodge to get the fellow into an office and that too when the' Republican Senate had positively refused to coun tenance or favor it. . '. Mrs. Daniels is a widow lady who is held in the highest es teem in Wilson. It is not sur prising that the community is indignant at the course of the President in ignoring a petition favoring her retention, and which was signed by every bus iness man in Wilson and by every official in the county, and even by every'white Republi can in town save one, who hap pened to be 'an applicant for the place himself. : The whole procedure is emi nently censurable and charac teristic.
