THE WILMINGTON POST. W, P. C AIT AD AY, EcVr Prtr, WILMINQTOir, ir. c.t Sunday Morkiko, Sept. 7, 1879. The canvass in New York ia fairly opened. The nomination of Cornell for Governor was to oar mind a forgone conclusion all the time. The qualities of the man and hU service to oor par ty were enough to justify his nomina tion of themselves, but there waa BtroDg feeling that he had aot been well treated by the administration.--lie received all the time aid from that sympathy which invariably gathers around a martyrs-Then he had for the ' first time the earnest rapport of Sena tor Conkliog. His superior qualities as an organizer will giro to tho canvass great intelligence and energy with a rery decisive promise of success at the very outset. ' '. - We insert the report of the meeting f certain colored people of Fayettyille, and the resolutions which were passed, inasmuch as they hare the right to be v heard. We haye no information as to tho merjti of the controTenry other than what is printed herewith, bat we know the parties whose names ap pear in the meeting aul resolutions, and believe they would not take such positive ground unless - they were cer tain they were right. "Thank God that the southern peoe pie did not disband did not stop fight ing for by so doing we should hate to-day been suffering under the politi cal vice of slavery." Leader in Charlotte Observrr of Avguil 26tA, 1879. Rather hard on the so-called Confed erate states, of which slavery was the chief corner stone. 1 An honest confes sion, however, is saidjto be good for the soul. The rebel government was indeed founded on a political vice, and so . likewise of the present Democratic party, the legitimate successor of the late Confederacy whose chief end is to whino and grieve over the failure of its predecessor. j? Our friends in Columbus county, say that Hop. R. P. Buxton is the moat talked of for the Republican nomina tion for Governor. We also bad a talk with a leading Republican inDuplia, and he Bays the Union people are about unanimous for Buxton. And they say whoever the Republican party nomi nates' will be elected by a handsome majority. '. , ' t - a- - Tho communication which we pub lish to-day, from the west, strikes the true kty nete when it says in substance that Mr. Sherman is the strongest man in the country, and that Republicans at the south will not vote fer Blaine, because he left the Speakers stand to fight the force bill, and defeated it. Ho nan should ask true Union Republicans t J yote for him after such conduct. Any man' Who fought the force bill need net expect ever to get the Repub lican vote for the Presidency. The Republicans recollect who deserted them in the time of their distress, aa Col. O. H. Dockery, we are reliably informed, in a strong Sherman man thinks Mr. Sherman will be the next nominee, and the next President. MORE OK T1IE .W, K. C. RAIL f ROAD. Mr. Aiken now states that Mr. Wll N0u took' a special train and went from Mud Cut to Salisbury, accompanied by the "three committeemen," and that the deposition was said to have been con cocUhI upon the train. He says also that it wan written upon the end of a tar barrel Under the shed of the gas house, by an extemporized light He proceeds to make a few extracts frem the testimony, as follows: I In answer la a nueatinn In tfnmrm to his furnishing cross Jtiee, cord weed. ireauo utuoer ana saw iocs irons blea ry 's to the mountains, to the exclusion .of other persons,' Mr. W. says: "All the above material have been furnished bv me that have hn aaed on the tine from Henry to the moan tain, lne work would nave stopped had I and Mr. Clapton.

With this butt untold and rapidly taunting debt nuule apparent, why wen not the ofSearf of the road required : at enee to furnish a full statement of then Uabili ties se that "a full and Complete un derstanding of the operations of said work" could be had? He further says: there was a verbal contract with the Directors to pay 25 cts a day for each, mule and cart, the company to feed the males and keep the carts in repair. $2,450 fbrtwe years and five months use ef 13 mules and carts the whole of them probably not worth one third this amount at the outset, looks a "little steep" to the average tax-payer. The comments below by Mr. Aiken art certainly sharp and the language a little rongh. Merely remarking that It won Id be strange if $40,000, had been spent or j that value in works' done, when the road had no credit, we per mit Mr. Aiken to speak fix himself: From April 1st, 1877, to Dec 81st, 1878, a period ef twenty-one months, there were expended oyer $40,000.00 in construction of the road from Old Fort to Swsneanoa, yet, according to Nr Wilson : "as to competition, there was and could be none, for other per sons ware an willing to furnish those things on credit, and the road could net pay cash," and hence the timber and ties fox this construction most be eat br Conaagbey and railroad hands on Mr. Wilson's and John Tate's lands r lew miles from . leant : (Station and hauled 40 or $0 miles on the road to the place where they were to used, in order that Mr. W. and his kins folk might be preferred contractors infer! nisning materials, mere is not a par tide ef evidence? that a bid was ever solicited (rem any other person, except Mr Wilson, In thevieinitv of ehe work or elsewhere for furnishing a stick of timber or a cross-tie on the same terms as those accepted by Mr. Wilson or on any terms whatever. He rithtly said: NUlMMIlU KAMA JUIM1 !.. Per sons owning Umbenalenr the line of the read were pnrpoeely prevented from competing, and since the monop oly of this furnishing ef material has been seized by Mr Wilson, they ait deterred from attempting to complete, knowing that he has the power ana would not hesitate to nee it, to annoy and Tex them to such an extent that a contract on the most favorable terms could not proye otherwise than an pro fitable to the contractor. To say the least, some of this busi ness was done in 1 a rery unusual way. Front this statement of Mr. Aiken thai far, it is rather diflcult to ascertain whether the road will by and by belong to Mr. Wilson or the state. If it be longs to the state it seems that Mr: Wilson has better credit at Baldwin's works than the state has. It might be nertinent to enquire in what form the state makes remittances to its con tractors wnetner la current money or in credits. To whom does this en gine belong, to Mr. Wilson or the state! It occurs to one that by the time the road is finished to Wolfe's Creek Mr. Wilson or some other contractor will own it. aw a CTJRI0BITIK8 Ilf TIRUIHf A. Some Harvard students are out on an excursion in the mountains ef Vir ginia, hear a place called Pennington's Gap, or the "Pocket Country." Ttey found remarkable cares with Tery bean tiful stalactites and other formations inside. They found alse in the "Pocket" a very ignorant and miserable set of people, who kusw nothing ot what was going on in the outside world. It seems that their ancestors came from North Carolina. Here is what a correspondent says of the country and the people I would be glad to spend several months longer in this part of Virginia in order to become acquainted with the people here. The Virginia line here makes a loop into Kentucky, including a pocket in the mountains, Penning- ton's Gap is the only wagon pass into this country from any side. Owinr to its peculiar position it is a particularly favorable spot for small illicit distil leries, and for fugitives frem justice, who can, on .short notice, make their escape into either Kentucky or Ten neseee, through mountain passes over which a horse can with dimcultr be fed. Moreover, there exists a race, of uerman parentage, the descendants of the tint colonists or north Carolina. These people were originally Imported by a great land company that owned lam tracts in the Carolines. Ther were collected in the lew reentries of Germany and sent ever in ship loads, the company paying a certain amount per head for every emigrant that Passed over the gantplank. From North Carolina the remnants of them have spread over portions of Kentucky, Ten neseee, and Virginia, and form to-day the lowest type ef the population in these mountains. They are not a vicious people, bat are simply bra tally ignorant, and lire the most primitive o? Uvea, knowing scarcely anything of the ciriUsatioo by which they are sor roanded. Ia their cab Ism too will net find a single article of furniture, except a kettle and one or two pots aad disbea. The true Virgiaian who form the talk of the people are, however, uaally ane class ox men, very hospitable, and law-abiding, except in a few bed dis trkta.

Two thousand miles now lie between the state of North' Carolina and the residence of lion. Albion W. Tourgee. He arrived in the state about fourteen years age, at the age of twenty-fire, with health broken by exposure in the war, and entered into the badness; of farming. When the Constitational Convention, to which delegates' elected under the reconstruction acts of 1867 assembled, he appeared as one of the members for Gnilfbrd. In the election held in pursuance ot the proceedings of that Convention he was elected as Judge of the Superior Court for the District in which he resided, and sat as such for eight years. He became also one of the. OemmisBloners to prepare the code of proeeedure under the new Oenstitatioo, and in 1873 became a delegate to the Conetitntkm! Conven tion held in that year, and snhsequently held the position ot Pension Agent for the district in which North Carolina thsn was. What was his career during these years in official life, in letters, in law, and in politics, it is, our purpose to sketch and comment upon. ( At his first appearance in the Con vention he gave evidence in germ ef those qualities which later were de veloped in much more maturity. At once he took strong and advanced grounds in regard to the policy which he believed the Convention ought to adopt, and although some of his propo sitions were not assented to by that body, many were, and are new a part of our organic law. Be was one of the chief advocates of the elective judiciary, and the election by the people ef those minor officers like magistrates, always insisting thst the Convention should produce a people's Constitution. He was the real author,' and the chief ad- Toeate of that part of the new Consti tution which abolished the distinction between actions at law and suits in equity. He gave his support to that section ef the bill of rights which pro-, Tides that no property qualification shall affect the right' to vote or hold office, to the new penal , institutions, to the common school system, and to all liberal and advanced measures. It was en his motion that the homestead law was made retroactive, and it was his advocacy which mainly gave the. state the Code. But it was the bench, the profession of law, letters and politics altogether, which gave a still larger scope to his splendid intellectual qualities. He had hardly aat down upon the bench before a bar, which was looking upon him critically and even inimically, were compelled to acknowledge his snperier powers. He won friends, and com pelled the respect ef enemies, by his rapid mastery of the science of juris prudence, and by! the unerring equity and accuracy of his legal decisions. It is true that he was obliged to acquire that peculiar training, which is neces sary to fit even a 1 good lawyer accus tomed to practice at the bar, for the posit isn of a judge. But this he did with marvelous rapidity. And so read ily did he acquire the training of the bench that people wondered that the daring orator of the hustings had so quickly transformed himself into a judge whose strict impartiality was never questioned. Even in that storm of lawlessness which speedily burst upon his jurisdiction, and the base pas sions which menaced public order, he remained the judge and not the par tisan. He rode oat that wild whirlwind ef disorder, aad passed through that grim cloud of calumny, such as few men ever su.tained, the jast .and impartial judge still. As time went on he becsme a more Industrious student in general literature and in law. In this year 1879, one ef his works of fiction which had for sev eral years been before the put lie, sud deoly leaped into a new edition under a heavy demand. His first law book "The Code with Notes aad Decisions, had gone to a second edition, and his other book "A Digest of Cited Case had met with an unprecedented sale, and was receiving the universal com msndatioos of the bar; and in addition to that he , had in i press another law book entitled, "Statutory Adjodica lions" and another work of fiction. All these works oh law were of rare merit. That fortune which had been to him fickle, had relented, and he stood sur rounded by success and compliments. just 'emerging from years of dreary struggle to triumph, what waa mere, the false scandal by which he had been assailed in some of the txciteaeats of campaigns had been publiely with draw n by tue newspapers making them, aad with apologies. It wai just thea, when he had conferred honor apom state, and woe saccees for himself, that he has removed from the state to what he believes a more iariting fteM. lodelgteg ia reflections, and ia ia- d actions and eoaclaaiooe above his eerroondiaga, he was eftea expressing epiaieee eeexpected to others, aad aorel to his associates. There seesae to be aataceaiasas ia his snake ep which leads him soenetimee to soar ia the sayaty rvgioas of tancy, and at the same time grab ia the ragged realities ef etaiatee and peeccdeau. He seems snsBiumss to more aboet aiatost with the powers ef a magisiss, and with a tread aad air which Is eeteeiaatk. He has eftea kwesi taseera to fjaehie with a resneeeasssa ary, aad the foe wee vesseahdwd wvmli corer him with magnanimous klndn He did not have in hia composition anything 1 Mmaaest malice, bat taore c&vettJ fcUr5 poUttcal antagonist with bur teree and caricature. He mo3 to be sirTmsfed all the while by high purposes of right, and in his auda- clews Blockings ef political errors and wrongs, there was a toach of good na tured saroasm. One of the moat charm ing efforts which he ever made was his enlogimm upon the late Chief Justice Pearson, in the bar meeting of the Su preme Court, wbett ha put in few words an estimate of thtf great jurist's char acter which passed tho reach of criti cism or erUIcs. Another was when, in the amentias of 1870, ho threw upon tfctier of -tflStsa A. Graham, a Unrel fit to IhlTnpon the coffins of king. Awd V la works of romance he pale tl erlSSf Qt tha fascina ting Toieette; charaeten as impossible as Hawthorne drew of Hester Prynne or tho Btfttnd Haster Dimmesdale, and then; tonchittx law, he confined himself as implicitly to facts aa Grad grind, and prodaeed a digeat which nerer warered from an accurate analysis of a case, and Which was so ingenious and so convenient aad original ia style, that it captivated the gravity of the bar. He wrote law books with the calm self sacrifice of Blaekstone, de livered opinions with the coolness ef Kent, made eulogies as graceful as William Wirt, and then turned around to paint the doable life and character of the faithful and sagacious Betty Certain. j We wish Mr. Tourgee success in his new home in Colorado, among the peo ple of that younc and growing state, and in that pure air.

This is what comes to as from the Blue Grass state : Dr. Blackburn ran ahead ot hia ticket, it is claimed by the Democrats, in con sequence of the revival of his connec tion with the scheme to Infect northern cities with yellow fever in 1865. Tho publication to-day of absolute evidence from the records of the Toronto courts that he was the originator of that con spiracy produced something of a sensa tion in Kentucky, where extensive preparations are in progress for his in auguration to-morrow. The story ia one of almost unparalleled horror, but Democrats affect not to believe it, char acterizing it as a Radical lie. The tes timony of witnesses from the Island of Bermuda showed that he actually sweated yellow fever patients to death in order more thoroughly to infect the clothing in which he had wrapped them, and that he covered the garments intended for distribution in New York, Washington, and Philadelphia with black vomit. Every effort te induce Blackburn to speak in reference to these charges has failed. Maine is full of stalwarts. Gen. Gar fied and Gen. Uawley among them.
