The Star has not referred to the Long-Cheek oorrespondence because we did not wish to do Mr. Long an injustice, and preferred waiting an explanation. Mr. Long, it seems, as early as the 8th 7 of June, wrote a note accepting the Mongrel nomina tion for Judge provided the Radicals -would confirm the nomination. Af- terwards he published a very sharp, J rinpnnp card "declining the honor." 1 O O I that was widely copied because of its point and- explicitness. - It now turns out that Mr. Long wrote the first letter hurriedly and ' without proper consideration The very day he - wrote it he also wrote a second letter, to Mr. Cheek, in which he I ; - . ' , . -. . . . . ; - . - said;. " - ' . .. ."Without anv deliberation whatever, I J - i A i j m. - a; X a - ' mail, in which I siffnified mv willinsmess to accept a nomination. In an hour fregret- ; ted doins so. and write and send this by messenger to recall that letter. . . - But -I cannot accept any nomination that would look like unfaithfulness to the ' Democratic party.) Please be so kind as to regard this correspondence as strictly con- fidenttal.

Cheek responded, and among - other things he said : v -. "Your election is beyond any doubt if -you will just say: that you will accept if .-elected. You can do this without any promise or change in your politics, and you ' Could state this in - your letter to ' me. ! - The people will support and elect you. I will wait for the mail and re turn the letter if it comet to-day, if not, I will return u by first mail. - Mr. Cheek ' kept his word by ma- king a copy of letter Number 1; and r publishing it in the newspapers. Mr. lxn or wrote hastily; saw his error upon a iiLLie leneuLiou, auu m an hourj wrote his letter JNumoer 1, m which he declined to accept the prof fered nomination. We are glad that Mr. Long's reflections led him to - re- mam true to his convictions and pre- vented him from selling' out .for a .consideration. These are perillous times and many a reputation 'will be wrecked or smirched before the year ends The, man who betrays ; his party of his country is-poor indeed," "And when he falls,' he falls like Lucifer, .Never to hope again." ': TUB RADICAL LEADER OF THE The career of Grant's Secretary of the Navy Scoor" Robeson,ns one of - tho most reproachful to - the Ameri- . can name among sall the public - men of . the past and -present. He has : beet pilloried in the leading papers ' of all parties and by the Indepen- , l r ... . f F dents as a nublic robber, wit.hont. ho- ' nnrnr xh t-. Renublicansad ro littlo rphka nf A. X . - . " V V . cency ami shame that they elected .. . him 'as their .. Representative in : the r Congress of the United States." He s is known to be a thief and aperjurerj . and he is represented -as laughing im- y'- moderately over the charge of pecu- ; iation and rascality. He is one '.of . the few men known to the political history of any country who was too , abandoned to feel shame. A' poor y man when he went into the Cabinet - he; left it a rich man'. He had to his personal credit in fivp banks the use- , ; fat and imposing sum of $46Y,54l.8i: . . How did he get it? - He stole it while iu office under Ulysses Grant, who . : gathered around him more profligate and unconscionable political bum mers' in eight years . of official1 life than have illustrated the annals of corruption for nearly a hundred years. . -. , : Robeson is the leader of , the Radi cal party in the House.. , He is" the chairman of the Naval Committee and is the special friend and adviser of the present Secretary of the Navy. He is "honored, applauded, looked up to by i his political brethren in the House. . The following from the Norfolk Virginian tells something of Robeson's rascality: - - " t "It was also shown that he had paid out nearly $800,000 to certain parties, forwhich the government received no equivalent, and the books of the Navy Department were searched in vain to show what had become of the $50,000,000 Robeson received from the sale of old materialand condemned war vessels. During Robeson's term of office Admiral Porter considered that $70,000,000 had been frittered away and it is thought, that this sum is short the amount squan dered. When - Secretary Thompson sue ceeded Robeson he found that this precious Cabinet officer had, previous- to retiring, distributed heavy contracts to his friends, by which the government would have been shamefully swindled. ' TEACHERS INSTITUTES AND SAL- ' ' ABIES." , -Teachers A Institutes are doing much good "wherever they have been adopted. They sere an excellent purpose as' .short term training schoolsfor teachers." - By "coming to gether the teachers are stimulated to make stronsrer efforts for a higher standard of work. The American Journal of Education says of the ad vantages of such County Institutions: "Teachers are actuated by incentives as other men are. The teacher who knows that his metLods of teaching are not to come before a body of teachers for criti cism, loses one valuable incentive to a higher standard of work." The best teachers in' North Caro- lina are Droffressive. : They are not a w so wedded to past systems as to at tempt to bring into i882 the anti quated methods " of a half century ago. The number of good private schools in North Carolina is steadily increasing. rne cnaracter ot-.tne teachers for thoroughness, for high ends; for enlarged methods is better than it was ten years since. The number of Normal . Schools is multi- Divine and progress is the word w . . .w all along the line. Every . teacher should attend some Normal School or Teachers' institute. . it win help him.. It -will: serve to . get him out- of the did ' ruts.' It7 will give him new ideas and new impulses. It will jfreshen his faculties and im part greater activity to his energies. Few men are born teachers. - Time, toil, experience r alone qualify them for; their high offiee asj instructors. We are glad to note that there is so much interest in our State in the mat ter of Normal Schools, and we hope a profound sentiment vpill pervade the State relative to the - value and importance of County Institutes, When good private ' schools are multiplied there -wilhbe of course a better and larger supply of faithful, qualified teachers. . lhe ; common schools . will; feel the benefit of - this increase.. There will bie within reach a considerable number of educated men and women who can be procured to take charge of the public schools whenever- the State will - undertake to pay fair and just compensation for labor performed. When the salaries ; paid 1 for ' teach ing are such as educated people can afford to work for, then 14 orth Caro lina will have better common school teachers.?'

We feel much encouraged. We can but sincerely hope that discords will reign anions them" until the Radical party falls to pieces, finally of its own corruption,- In the First Con- gressionai uistrict mere is some uis- turbance. OSx-Judge Moore; of Eden- ton, pretends to be bossing the Mon- pointed a convention to : be held ' at Plymouth on the 57(h inst. He calls it "Liberal. ,Of courso . everybody understands what that meanj. ; But this "call" does s not suit Palemon John,'editor of the Elizabeth ."City, Carolinian, a Radical sheet. John " issues his pronunciamentov in wnicn he takes .decided : ground against the - Moore-Mongrel : Convention tn posse..,, lie- says it is timed," , &c .He "says , Republi cans should have nothing to do with the Mongrel thing, but 'it should be left entirely-to the -Liberal Indepen dents" (th e "Nickle-plated' fellows, you know,) "who. propose breaking .from the Bourbon lieraocracy, -; bo they propose breaking,', do they? Just so. , Mr, John's course does not please Sam Carrow "Fat ' Carrow," as Jo Turner used to call him-and he is out in a' letter protesting against - John's dictation, and !says that his "order" sounds "just like the orders of the bosses of the Bourbon Democracy to their lsubiects." We certainly have no Bourbon Republi cans in our ranks to give orders, and especially ' those which convey-; the idea that we want no movements outside of the party, when it is "a fact that the Liberals of the t State met at Raleigh and presented a tick et for the State at ' large, and it was indorsed by the Republican" State Convention. : Does Dr. John propose to butt, against the; State Conven tion?" " " ' ' ' So much : for ; the - First, District, Then in the Second District all is not Berene and lovely. There is a row in the Radical campj and much to the satisfaction of the honest tax-payers of that much afflicted and misrepre sented ; District.: : . Q'Hara, j colored Radical lawyer, is nominated by a maiority of the connties,v! whilst Hubbs, insatiable carpet-bagger, is nominated by a minority. O'Hara knows that nine-tenths of the voters in the District are of his race and color, ahd he- has claims upon- them that no white Radical can ' possibly have. ; 'The' Goldsboro ' Messenger says : ' j . . "O'Hara has the signatures of. 19 out of 30 delegates who declare that they 'endorsed uuu lauueu uio j ixua uuuuuatiuu. . iucod are the delegates from Wayne, Green, Hali fax ana JNortnampton, also three from Edgecombe and one from Wilson. - The counties of Wayne, Greenland Halifax, casting a Republican vote of about 6,500, are almost solid for O'Hara. The counties of Edgecombe, Lenoir. Northampton. War ren and Wilson will divide between Hubbs ana u nara, while craven and Jones may oe put aown as soua tor llubbS. This as sures O'Hara a majority of the Republican vote." .-- v ii u nara win stana nrm he can bd elected .probably. '.
