THE WILMINGTON POST.

WILMINGTON. K. C
Sunday Mobkik.g, Nov. 14, J i 80.
.If we remember the surprise with
which the announcement of Cabinets
usually have fakeu the people, it will
bo decided that there is nothing gained
by making up a Cabinet . for Garfield.
Jlayck toot everybody by surprise ex
cept in case of Sherman. Graut as he
entered his first terra nonplussed all the
old .politicians and statesmen, by his
nominations by Mich selections as
Htttart and Boric. It is as much an
'art to cast the parts of a Cabinet as it
is for a theatrical manager to cast the
parts of a star company. Lincoln's
first Cabinet was remarkable ia this
respect. W.'ll. Seward and Salmon P.
Chaso who were aspirants against him,
and old Simon Cameron one ol the old
guard. Gideon Wells surprised every
body by the vigr with which he re
called a vagraiitj navy and then man
aged it, ami Montgomery Blair swung
into the Cabinet column the Blair flag,
uud Caleb Sui'th and Bates, came irom
good following. Wc do not believe
that Garfield will make a personal
Cab iii tf, as overriding proprieties. It is
doubtful il he summons unexpected J
men. A cosmopolitan as he is himself,
he will probably put out a Cabinet
which does not represent cliques, or
schemes, or is inconsistent with the
broad scope' fbf realTlepubric,anism.
As guessing at it, without having heard
n, word ex calhsdra, we Would say
that the next Cabinet would be likely
to give satisfaction to the good sense
and patriotism of the country to . the
vast business i tile rests of the Nation
as well as; to the belter aspirations of our
ciyiliz-ition. For short it will not be
a Cabinet of nobodies hue will lit the
situation. M
A nice mess has tur ncd up in regard
to Barnaul's i pretended Chinese letter
The fellow known as Slorey, a reputed,
brolhcr-in-luw of the Lynn Matey, has
made confession that he was crammed
ifi Law rence, Mass , by a fellow named
Clarke, billiard saloou keeper, and an
other nitmed John Sanborn, a lawyer.
They sent hi in to New York to testify
to a lie. In New York Morey was
quartered at the rcoiiis of the Demo
cratic .National Committee. , Etery
word in his testimony in the L'hilpcase
iv.'i4 :i lip 11 lu li.'iil lnrn ilrillrd to
tell it. Whcu lie returned to L iwreuce,
after jiivii:;; testimony,1 he received
from t lie National Democratic
Committee, in a cluck on the National
l'.irk Bank, which was cashed in Lynn.
A police officer nauied Birminhani, in
the role he was to play in regard to the
Morey -letter. This is fine business,
and one of the richnesses which clus
tered around Barnum's headquarters.
. Edwin Booth, in his appearance- in
Hamlet in Princes Theatre in London
seems to have coufused the English
critics. The English have an actor
named Irving whom they regard as a
very extraordinary Hamlet. Of course
aur glorious Booth's Hum let is quite
dill'erent from that of any living actor.
Forest was noisy and declamatory, and
Fetchter affected the narrative style,
Old Junius Brutus Booth, the father of
Edwin, for a long time held a foremost
place in London in all of bhakspeare'a
plays, but he was loud and bold: Among
all the noted Hamlet's of the last half
century iw '0110 has equalled Edwin

' The article which is copied into the
columns of the Post to-day from the
National Republican, is not in any meas
ure unreasoning. It protrudes boldly
before the public a question which no
body has htusfar said anything about,
but which nearly everybody has been
thinking about. What treatment the
fraudulently elected persons like Chal
mers of the so-called, shoestring dis
trict, and many others are to receive at
the hands of the next House of Repre
sentatives, will very possibly take tan
gible form in the broader question
whe'her fraudulent majorities are here
after to sit in our Congresses.
There is the usual amount of rattle
brained era tin ess in a letter which Sen-i
ator Hill of Georgia has just written'
to S. B. Chittenden, a defeated Kepub
lican of New York. Among the para
doxes and grotesque solecisms of. this
wild production, are Mr. Hill's asser
tions that there is to be a disruption of
the states into seve-al monarchies, or
the absolute, consolidation iuto one
empire; his proposition to smash eter
nally the northern Democratic and Re
publican parties sp as to leaye the
- 8011111"11 Boarbons, whom he is careful
to have preserved intact, to pick up the
dixjeci, membra and, make anew party;
his proposition toTylerizj or Andrew
Johusonize Garfield, and the sift-aaw-der
with which he covers hiu; and with
what sublime modesty he informs his
friend Chittenden that,"neverthe1ess we.
the solid south shall avert all revolu
tion, not to win Republican praise, or to
avoid Kepublican abuse for either is
impossible but solely because it is
right, and we are determined to pre
serve the peace of the country. How
long human nature can bear this I do
not know. l kIt is injustice unparalleled,
and wrong that ought: 4o cover the
north with blushes." That ia, to have
elected Garfield. But his last sentence
is wonderful, and in Ben. Hill's own
particular and personal line: "Gar
field has no idea bow I feel toward
him, and how anxiously I wish for his
success, and I suppose if he tfiu know,
he, like Mr. Hayes, would be afraid it
would injure him with his party."
Ben is the mad bull of, politics.
A 1MOT NOT1CUD INCIDENT.
In the Atlanta (Ga.) Republican ap
pears a letter, dated "Charlotte, N. C,
Oct, 2?," '80," and relating outrages,
round -by the way of Atlanta, which
we confess to have escaped our notices
That our cynical Chariotte contempo
raries should not haye furnished us the
information, we are nqt surpiised, be
cause no one of them do us- the honor
to exchange with us. .
This letter relates in substance, that
on the day before "Governor of the
stale, Mr. Jar via, addressed about 2o0
people in the afternoon," and that at
"about 8 p. m. the crowd passed through
the principal streets" consisting of
"about two hundred mounted horse
men," "duly prepared for; any emer
gency," and "all stimulated bv that
stimulaut peculiar to the Democracy
of the solid south," many of them being
red shirt riders, so stimulated that they
could "with difficulty, keep the saddle
Two companies of these were gentlemen
from the town of Iancaster, South Car
olina, "being of Wade Hampton's con
stituency," and were in a "drunken
frenzy," when Geo. J. M. Leach com
menced a speech, to an audience a part
of whom were colored people "behaving
in a quiet nd orderly manner, and
seemed to enjoy ihe occasion.'" v.
It seems that a about tbi. time '
colored church were holding a festival
in Central Hall, about one square from
where the speakers stand w erected
and "quite a number of fret jnim" in
the street in front of it behaving them
selves well enough. But this was, too
exasperating to be endured by the' red
shirtcd gentry. We give the exact
language of tbeeorrrspoudcnt, viz;
About a dozen of i he red shirts pro
ceeded to look after the colored folks;
the result was tha, a fight immediately
commenced. They chose for their lirat
victim a small boy about 1 1 years of
age. One of the red shirts struck hiai.
The boy immediately knocked the fel
low down, and ran. pursued by the
wbiie leaguers who were firing at him
as he ran. The boy was caught bv a
policeman; who in order to save him
self from the pistol shots, w as compelled
to relea him, ami fortunately the boy
escaped without serious injury. The
ball was now fairly opcoexL Putul
shots were heard in all the streets, near
the speakers stand.
What became rf Gov. J.r;., t;r.

The ctcc'iog stoppcU. Gov. jarvi-s
Mr.1 Leach a ad ihe lesser light of De

occasion. t

with voatea aa4 chBdrra who aow
seemed fo be completely at Ihe mercy
of the red shirts. Several resolute men,
among whom was the editor of the
Charlotte- Obtorver, to his credit be it
said, prevented them from obtaining
access to the Hall, when they com
menced firing through the windows.
The front of the building chows where
fully a dozen pistol ballsaimed at the
defenceless negroes are lodged. ;
Many of the occupants leaped from
the baek windows to" the ground, and
escaped. During this time, when a
negro con Id be seen on the street be
waa immediately attacked; several were
quite severely bruised, b"t none dan
gerously hurt. They ran and made
good their escape. . -i "
And all this went on in the charming
city of Charlotte, and the outside world
knew nothing about it, till it was pub
lished to the inhabitants of the Capital
of Georgia. Admitting the creditable
conduct of the editor of tho Charlotte
Observer and the Other resolute men
who prevented the entrance of the red
shirts into the Hall where the festival
was, it is impossible to withhold from
him further approval for keeping still
about the.affair, on account of mortifi
cation and disgust at that mounted
Democracy. They were a part ol "the
iesier lights" who did not run away,
as the Governor and General Leach-
did.
The Republican itself proceeds to a
column of comment, editorially, on this
outrage, saying, after a few remarks on
the "chivalry ot the Old North State,"
touch was the riot at Jonesboro, Ca
milla, Union Springs, Darien, and tie
outrageous massacre at Macon."
Let the heathen rage in North Caro
lina if they w ill, "but let Method
ism or religion of some sort, reign in
Georgia, and let the Governor Colquitt
execute justice .and maintain peace."
And further:
Now let Deniocjats of tho decent
stripe (such exist in all the southern
states, although a hopeless minority
single handed,) unite with the Repub-
111 wiiviiia, iiuun vnruuua, Ala
bama and every southern state, and
renuer such outrages impossible. Are
the JonesVoro rulliiins to go srot free?
We are at the commencement of a
new deal, and if the Governor of Geor
gia is what he says be is, he can main
tain peace, ensure tranquility, prevent
murder, give the people a free vote and
fair count; if he does thisjhe will de
serve well at the bands, jiot alone of
the coloredwJlepubKcans Iwho seated
hiiu where he is, but r.t t jie hands of
the w-hite men of both parties who op
posed him. " 1
fcrucli things as there a.re suggestive,
as to the matter cf securing immigrants
and capital for the south, and of the
cause, of such other events as the recent
"solid north," end the tornado which
swept oyer that part of the country.
A COOU MAYOlt.
The Norfolk f.'cnlinel says that for the
first lime since 18GS has that city en
joyed the' luxury of a fair election.
This the 'Sentinel say a is due to its Mayor
Col. William Lamb. After citine the
outrHgcs of other days, it says:
Tuesday quiet reigned, every man
having a clear right to vote, voted.
The officers ot the law, the police, who
have heretofore been used aa . the in
strument to browbeat Republicans,
preserved order and their proper places.
Drunkenness was a rarity on the part
of the electors, and whiskey was ban
ished from the polls. The ballots were
honestly counted and the returns will
express the wish of the people.
It is not our; custom to deal in lauda
tions of any public cfHcer when he but
performs ihe duties of his office, but
the happy results above mentioned are
in a great degree attributable to one
individual, and we propose to give him
his full mead of praise. That man was
our Mayor William Lamb.
We congratulate the ciiy upon a
chief magistrate who,, in the place of
his social circle and the precedents of
his predecessors has accooipliahed this
work, and we congratulate the Mayor
upon the encomium found on the tongue
of every good citizen "Well done thou
gmd and Uithful servant."'
Il seems that in Norfolk uuder Mayor
Lamb "every man having a clear right
to vote, voted." It was not a It was
in Wilmington where more than a
thousand voters were irrprived of the
right of vetting in consequence of the
inefficiency, or, what is thought by
many to be the case, the deliberate de
sign, in pursuance of concocted plana,
to cheat the voter. But it cannot be
expected that a party which would be
guilty of devising and getting throuch
the Ugislatnre, a charter so hideously
infamous aa ihat of Wilmington, would
not conspire to open cheating ar the
polls

The incoming Congress ha one duty
to perform, not only to Itself, but to
the country, which it will assuredly
discharge with faithfulness unlets we
entirely misapprehend its character and
sense of righU and justice. It is high
time that tbte people of the United
States should be taught that honest
elections must precede the occupation
of seats in the House of Representatives
of this nation. They must learn that
rascality of any sort or intimidation ' of
any character cannot be recognized as
stepping-stones to seats iu that; body
We have had too much of that jiu the
past for the credit of Congress and the
weliare of the country. The three last
Congresses have' presented marked in
stances of the subverting of the. popu
lar will and the character of the gov
ernment by corrupt and illegal agencies.
The political character of the House of
Represeu t at i ves d u r i ng i hese Congresses
and tbaKlif the present benatc has been
changed from Republican to Demo
cratic by a gross subversion i of the
popular will iu the scutb. This thing
has teen tolerated much longer than
than the national well-being will jus
tify. and it is Jc-igh lime that a remedy
should be applied to this crying evil
L t ihe next House, therefore, draw
the line closely between rascality and
honest elections and allow no member,
no mutter from what btate'or district,
to cctipy a seat under an eident de

promptly excluded from a seat as a
member, aud either the contestant
should be seated or the ca;e should be
referred back to the people; and this
policy nhould be pursued until the
legislative department of this govern
ment shall be constituted of members
who represent a majority of the people,
that majority being ascertained under
an election in which every voter is
permitted to vote once and have his
vote honestly counted. Iu the late
election this issue was brought promi
nently to the front and was pronounced
upon by the popular judgment, aud the
verdict as presented in the result is
clear and decisive. The people demand
and wili insist upon tree and honest
elections, and they will not hold the
next House of Repiesentatircs blame

point mis nation is strong, but in its
elections, where the perpetuity of the

by far than it sbculd be, and at that

The following address is issued by the
Republican National Committee:
Headquabtebs ' Rep. Nation al )
Committee, No. 241 Fifth-ave. V
New York, Nov. 8, 18S0. )
The Kepublican National Committee
presents to the country a resume of the
sweeping victory won by our party on
luesday, November 2. which lias been
so cheerfully accepted by all thought
ful and patriotic men and by the great
business and commercial- interests ol
the nation. '
Garfield and Arthur have received
213 electoral voles, aud will be inau
gurated President and VieerPresideul
March 4, 1SSI. The actual' result in
New Jersey, California and Nevada: is
so close that it cannot be ascertained
until the official count is made, but we
have reason to believe lha! at least one
and perhaps two of these states have
given their electoral votes to our can
didates. The popular majority for Garfield
and Arthur wili not fall short of 520,
000 in the northern states. The ma-
jority.of General Hancock in the north
ern states Will hardly reach 1,800.
If the Republicans of the south had
been permitted to vote as they wished,
and to "have their votes counted as
they were cast," at least six of these
states would have recordeel majorities
ranging from fire to forty thousand for
our. ticket. The majorities, therefore.
claimed by our adversaries in most of
the southern .stales we regard as uu
worthy of consideration.
We ha ve ca rried t he 'egislature of ever
northern slate except Nevada, where a
straight e ut Democrat will be elected
to succeed Mr. Aharon. After the 4th
of M?rch next, the Uuiud States Sen
ate will stand H7 Republicans, 37 Dem
ocrats, and 2 Independents. Two south
ern states given to the Democrats in
tho above estimate are yet lo elect Sen
ators, and it is not unlikely that we
Lsball secure one ot them.
In the Lower Hou-e of Congress w e
have not Jess thau 15 majority, rso
officer of the present Congress can re
duce or imperii this majority except by
a revolutionary act. ,
Gai field and Arthur have been elec -ed
by unparalleled popular majorities
in that portion ot the country where
the right of every citizen is recognized
to vole as he pleases and have his ballot
houtstly counted. The result iu the
intelligent aud tree north is a chaste
aud loud, answer to ibe indecent man

days ago, gives to that paper certain
family items as to Garfield aid his
every day life, which williu!erest, o

RESKJKIXU HIS SEAT IN eXMKK6S..
By this time Gen. Garfield returned
and handed me a cigar. I don't smoke,
but I put it in my pocket for a friend,
and then remarked: "I have been
talking wilh Major twain about your
term as Congressman. 1 was wonder
ing whether or not you would resign."
'"That - will be settled jn a day or
so," was the rather dubious reply of
the future President. A gentleman
then asked the General to write his
autograph in his daughter's album,
aud also a motto. He took the album
and wrote ia a remarkably clear hand,
"J. A. Garfield, Mentor, Ohio, Novem

By this tune the train for Cleveland
drew up to the station, and the Gene
ral aud his folks got on boird. The
car were pretty well crowded. The
passengers did not recognize their dis
tinguished fellow voyagers, aud it
was with some difficulty that Mrs Gar
field was provided wilh a seal along
side of aa elderly lady, who piled her
traps on the flKr to make - room for
the future mistress1 of the White House.
