THE nOANOKE NEWS.
TUUR8DAT. SEPTEMBER 25. 1879.
The. Merchant of Richmond, Peters
bur; and Norfolk are all anxious to get
the trade of tbii section of North Caro
Hat, aod weH they may be for it ii
large aod valuable. Large quaotiiiet
f cottea are shipped annually from all
the itatroos on the nlroads ai d the
landings oo the rWerr, aod gooda aod
prof isioDi brought back.
The three ciuet alee aaaed are
equally easy of access to oar shippers
purchasers, aod the advaolagei afforded
by each offset tack) other, so that a
faraaer Is flto odecrtfed as to where
to send bis cot toe aad tbe marchaot
where be will purchase bis goods. This
was profeo to Soma degree by the ei
curaiuns wmcb took mercbsots to
Richmond and Norfolk. Many weot
to each place aod we think the sales
made at each place would amount to
nearly the same, Richmond, J tiers-
and Norfolk are tbe natural markets for
this portion uf the State, and as their
several advantages are about equally di
vided, it is accessary for that city allien
is desirous of obUiuiog the trade to
ofll-r ex' r inducements to customers.
If the citizens of a place mike no
effort to secure trade, but ait with
bands folded awaitiog purchasers aod
waiting for trade to seek tbem, sod pour
wealth into their coffers then, tbe trade
will go elsewhere.
Every merchant knows that trade
must be sought, must be woiked for,
and when secured must be kept ; aod as
different places are making bids for
patrouago the eSWts to retain it must
bo redoubled. There are various ways
of doing this. Drumming is a good
way, but drummers very ofteo bore peo
ple aod as soon as they are out of sight
tbey are out of miud, aod sometimes
leaves a feeliog of relief behind tbem.
Ciiculars too are good, if people read
tbem, but they are often thrown abide
without being opened, and if read at all
are carelessly glanced over and then
lure wo iuto the waste basket.
Tbe very best wsy to keep your busi
ness before the people continually is
through the newspapers. Tbe papers
are resd daily or weekly os the we
may be, and are ofteo put away for ref
erence. Tbe whole family sees them,
aod tbe neighbors too. They are the
proper channel for conveying iuformation
to tbo public and the publie looks
through tbem to God tbe cheapest aod
best goods, and mercbindise.
There is no use io saying that the
papers are not read. They are read
more closely than is generally supposed ;
and none knows this better than the un
fortunate individual who baa acciden
tally or wilfully done something he
does not want people to find out. If
people are anxious to exclude from the
newspapers what they do not wish to
be exposed. Tbe saint reason ought
to make them amicus to put in tbe
pspers what tbey waot to impart.
In a government like oars it is pre
sumed tbst tbe people rule and tbat
their will is law. This is true in theory,
but practically tbe peoplo have very lit
tle to do with tbe matter. It is true
that the people elect the law makers
the expounders of the law, and also the
executive department of government;
but that is not oecessuily governing
tbe country. Unless the people sball
say who are to be candidates they vir
tually have nothing .to do with legisla
tion. They frequently are told by the
politicise whom to vote for. Tbe
States pre made up and tbey are ssked
to support the nominees, and in nine
Cases out of ten they have little or
nothing to do with selecting the men.
It is true that io a great party there are
cc:essarily conflicting iuteres's and a
convention of tbo people is tbe only
way in which these conflicting ioteres s
cno be amicably settled. And all b
have political aspirations should place
their claims before the convention aud
be satisfied with its decision. And
when the convention after fair aod opea
deliberation has arranged i's program
me it is the duty of every true number
f the party to abide by the arrange-
meot and give it his cordial support.
A convention of the people is the su
preme bead of the party and its decis
ions are final. Private etbiiioa must
give away to party success, and al
should work for the ticket which the
Convention bas given to tbe party.
If there are complaints about combi
nations aod manipulations and undue in
fluences tbey are not without founda
lion, but the remedy is not by grum
bling, but by inducing the people to
take the matter into their own bands
and manage it to suit themselves. If
they have been defrauded of the right
to oomiuate their owu candidates let
tbem See to It that it does not bappeo
again, but go in force to tbe coovsutioo
aod overturn the combioaliona of tbe
schemers as the tablea of tbo money
changers were once overturned. Tbe
people may feel staved tbat Sottas they
do take matter into their own hands
things will be manipulated with a view
to the success of personal favorites
Such have been the changes wbkb time
and revolution have wrought that men
oo longer wait to be sought, but rather
seek for themselves, aod those, aho e
DUiitv and iutesritv makes them mod-
est, are kept io the back ground by
braxeo effrontery aod impudence.
IMMIGiit.lTIO.M.
A correspondent of tbe News and
Courier discussing tbe question "Why
Koglish farmers go to Texas instead of
stoDoioz io the Carolinas," fluds the
aoswer in the superior machinery pro
tided by Texas to make kuowa ber con
dition aod to facilitate immigra'ioi.
fie says that it will not auswer merely
to appoint stents who remaio at home,
and expect measures to be perfected
tbat require their immediate presence.
Emigration agents, from other States,
visit the Gelds of their enterprise, aud
superintend, in person, the business with
which they are entrusted, beeral
Southern States have perfected mt'tliods
for meeting tho demu'iJn of the occa
sion, Ihcicby establishing direct com
munication between the paities in
terested iu the accomplishiuuut of tbe
purpose fur which they huvo beiu
selected. They do uot wait to be
sought, but apply themselves to seeking
out such persons us desire to cast their
lot with the S'.atcs of which they are tbe
immediate representatives ; aud unless
Carolina is prepared to do likewse,
argument, submitted from a distance,
will not compass the desired ends, and
can but eventuate in a lose of time and
a wasting of means.
Our public men must adopt such
methods as will meet tbe demands of
the moment, aud there will be found
tbousauds wh will embrace the oppor
tunities wheu properly submitted, aud
thereby Carolina will attain all tbat
may be desired through the channel of
immigration. Much nas been said and
volumes written io relation to this im
portant subject, but there remains the
necessity for proper cuactmeuts, with
out tbo aid of which no successful move
ment can be mado.
For uur part we do not cousider tbo
subject as different from all those other
matters of life wbicb are elucidated by
the application of e little common, sense.
Men do not easily break away, from old
associations. Where .hey uro born
there they die, unless some motive be
supplied to cause a icmoval. Gen
erally tbe European who severs early
and seeks tbe Western world to better
his fortune is influenced io seeking a
new home surrounded by similar cir
cumstances as that be is about to leave.
He avoids the greater change, and
choosei ike less departure from those
methods to which he bas been accus
tomed.
And again, since men migrate usually
to improve their condition, they give
beed ouly to those sections which offer
superior inducements. It is therefore
the part of wisdom if we desire to
obtain an influx of population to lay
before tbe people whom we propose
inviting to cast their lot with us everv
matter which appeals to their cupidity
or can othi.wise ii.flueoce their action.
t must be remembered tbat not we alone
are left in tbe lurch by the passing tide
of immigrants, for there are some of the
New Euglaod States that have received
no greater accessions than ourselves.
Indcod, if our North Carolina folk bad
uot themselves been in lines past a mi
grating people, we would have in the
Old Nonh S.ate uow at least two mil
lions of native citizens. Heretofore we
hive lost our own citizen.; who were in
duced to leave us by glowing accounts
of other States. Tnc wav to sunolv this
loss is to send abroad capable agents
1 o
who i!l farniHari.o the emigrant classes
of other countries with our advantages
und make them fct I that iu cumin to
Caruliua they would suffer no gi eater
change than in going elsewhere.
The Augusta Constitutionalist speak
ing uf the impeachment t.ials now io
progress before ibe Georgia Legisla
ture says : We regret beyoud measure
that there should have bean any occa
m for the iapcachmeut of Commxoller
Goldsmith, or Treasurer Ronfrot. Roth
men injur high reputstions for integri
ty and elliciency. Personally our re
latieos towards them bavo always been
kind. When, however, persons in office
are charged with high crimes aud mis-
demeaaors when the life of a party,
tbe good name of the State and interest
of the people are endangered personal
si t
imes ana appreciation must give way to
the public good. We would like to be
lievt Messrs. (jldsmilh aod lleufroe in-
ooceut, but the testimony of the com
miitees and their reports to the legisla
lure show a demoralized and scandalous
sUle of affairs in tho departments under
investigation. J he Legislature has as.
8umda great responsibility. Tbe olli
cials charged with high crimes should
not be condemned because ot popular
clamor, which is frequently arbitrary
aod unjust. Tbey should have a fair,
full aod impartial bearing. We feel
confident that the number uf the Gen
eral Assembly will do their duty. Tbey
cannot afford to do less. They should
not do more. The Democratic party of
Georgia is now oa trial before the whole
country. If tbe Legislature, represent
ing the whole people and especially tl
Democratic people of Georgia, acts with
wisdom, justice and moderation, its or
ganixation will remaio intact. If it fails
to do its duty, it deserves and will sure
ly meet with defeat. No innocent man
should be punished. No guilty man
should escspe.
GRANT LANDS AT LAST.
SAN FRANCISCO CIIAN0E9 ITS MIND
ABOUT K'LLIXO HIM IMMEDIATELY.
San Francisco, September 20. Tbe
tap of the bell and tbe hoisting of the
flag on the Merchants' Exchaoge an
nounced the approach of tbe ateamer
City of Tokio this afternoon. Bells were
at once rung, steam whistles were blown
aud cautions were fire J over tbe harbor.
Thousands of men, women aod children
on foot, in carriages aud on horseback
thronged Presidio Heights. Point Lobos
and Telegraph Hill, eager to catch the
first glance of the incoming ship.
At tho moment of the notice of the
appronch of the City of Tokio the Exe
cutive Commitleo having charge of tbe
demonstration were in session discuss-
sing the question of carrying out the
programme to-morrow in case ol tne
stearuei's arrival in time or deferring it
until Monday The first stroke of tbe
bell ended the discussion. It was at
once resolved to carry out tbe demon
stration immediately.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock tbe Recep
tion Committee, consisting of Frank M.
Pixlev, ex Senator Cole, General Miller
and P. B. Cornwall, started to meet the
ii coming steamer. Several miles out
side the Heads they met the City of
Tokio. Tbe tug drew alongside and
the Executive Committee, quarantine
officer and customs officials boarded
the steamer. No ceremony was observed
except a general shaking of bands, and
the committee announced the object of
their visit and informed General Grant
of the reception prepared for bim. Soon
after the Government steamer Mc-
Pherson came alongside, aod Major.
General McDowell, commanding the
Division of tbe 1 acihe, accompaoed by
bis staff, boarded the Tokio, and re
joined bis old comrade in arms. Mean
time the General Committee of Arrang-
ments, with several thousand invited
guests, assembled on board the Pacific
Mail steamer China aod a number of
smaller steamers, while tugs took
squadrons of the Sao Francisco aod Pa
cific yacht clubs in tow and started down
the channel. Every emiueuce com-
manding the channel was black with
spectators. I he sun was declining in
tbe west as tbe steamers and yachts,
gay with bunting, moved dnwa the
channel. From every flagstaff in the
city flags were flying and the shipping
along tbe the city Iront was brillisti.lt
decked with ensigns, festooned flags and
streamers. As the impatient crowds
that covered the bill-tops stood strain
ing their eyes to catch the first glimpse
of the Tokio the cry waa raised, "There
she comes I" It was 5.30 o'clock when
a puff of white smoke from seawaid,
off the earthwoiks above Foit Point,
and the booming of a heavy cuo an
nounced that the steamer was near at
band. Another and another followed
io rapid succession. Fort Point nxt
joined in the cannonade, filing with both
casemate aud baibette guns, and the
battery at Lime Point added i s thun
ders to the voice of welcome. In a few
moments the eulrante to the htrbor
was veiled in wreath of smoke, and as
the batteries of Angel Island, Black
I'olnt and A'cariaz opened tire la suc
cesses, the whole channel was soon
obscured, aod for some time the posi
tion of the approaching ship could not
be discovered. Suoitlv before 6 o'clock
the Cay of Tokio glided into full view,
s mounded by a fleet of sieameis and
tugs gay Kith flags and crowded w'ub
guests, while '.he yacht sqtiadion
brought up tbe lear festooned noon
deck with biilliant bunting. Coeer
after cheer burst from the assembled
thousands as liie vesels slowly rounded
Telegraph Hill. 'J lie Uuied States
steamer Moi.tercv, Iving in the st.eam,
added the roar of her guns to tbe gen
eral salute, and the screaming of hund
reds of s enm whistles announced ibat
the C ly of Tokio hnd reached her a
chorao. I he viciuitv of tbe fenv
landing was limrallv jammed with pei
pic from blocks, and near the lanti.ngs
line al.er line ol iro ps and civic oinao
i7.ii.ions were ranged.
Within the ga es of the ferrvhouse
were the reception committee. In toe
mean time General G. jut and his paity
on tho lokto, lojelhir with the rccep'
ion committee. General Mel).)Well
and staff, had been trans erred to the
fcirv steamer Oakland. It was 7 20
o'clock wheu the hights of the feu v.
boat were seen aprunc'uine the shin,
as she reached the dock the band struck
up "Home A -:nm," and amid cheers
from the crowd General Grant a'epped
once more upon the shore of bis native
land. As he came up tbe Gangway, es
coiled bv the reception committee, be
was met by Mayor Bryant, the Supei
visors, tbe Governor aod stafT and th
Executive Commit ee, and alter bnef
informal congratulations the Maor
made a speech
Mm. Giant will not leave tbe City o
lokio until this morning.
