1 1 i - 1- THE WILMINGTON POST. W. P. CAN AD AT, ProprUtor. WILMINGTON. N. C 8UNDAT MOSKIKG, MAY 27, 1883. NATIONAL, MEMORIAL DAY - Wednesday next, the thirtieth insU, is a day set apart by act of congress as ' a legal holiday, in honor of the brave soldiers who lost their lives in defence of the permanency of the American - government, of republican institutions, and of life, liberty and , property in the United States. It matters not which side we were on in the late war, it is our duty now, aa citizens of this great country, to do honor to the mem ory of the men who sacrificed; 'every thing, even lift itself, for the country's cause. We were confederates, and die everything in our bower to maintain the cause in which we had inlisted, but very fortunately for the American peo pie, and particularly the southern peo pie, the undertaking failed, , and all thanks are due the men who brought us back to our senses, 'and in the future we shall, and we feel sure that we rep resent the sentiments of nine-tenths of the confederate soldiers, do everything injour power to prove our loyalty to Ihe'Amercan flag. ' " - We hope to see at .the. cemetery on Wednesday next the leading citi tens and business men f(of this city We hope ' to. see the business houses o the city closed on that day. We hope to see the ministers of the gospel at the cemetery, and we hope to see our peo pie from the highest to the lowest, both white and black, Republicans and Democrats, all join in andjshow their loyalty to this government by doin honor 6 the dead. We, appeal to the whole people to forget the past and lire for the future. Thfs is a govern ment of the people, for the people, and by the people, made so by our forefath ers and continued so by the sacrifice of a million of lives in the late civil war, and they are entitled to our love, grati i tude and prayers, and we ought to do ourselves honor by honoring the nation's dead, THE COALITION MOVEMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA. The policy of the administration as manifested by the past acts and utter ances of those in a position to give its status, is decidedly and emphatically ifor coalition. No matter how straight outs, so-called, may bicker and cavil about the recognition and political ele vation of those who have only recently become part and parcel of the party o f liberality and progress in North Caro lina; no matter that they complain that the loaves and fishe may be taken from those who have lojg served in the ranks of the. Republican ; party, the duty of an administration profoundly impressed with the good of the whole country is, and properly ought to be in favor of combining with the great Republican party, the liberal, progressive,, anti-pro scriptive and anti-bourbou elements CuUiile of that party in a glorious struggle for libctalitv and freedom of '-- a " " Or- 9 a inougnt ana opinion, ana me assurance to the colored man of his rights under the law. The Republican party, thank Hod, is not a party of spoilt, it has a high and holy mission to perform. To those who have manfully stood by it and fought the good light, when it cost a man no little to be a Republican in the south, is duo all the honor and praise. Their noble deeds will live to future generations. 'But eveu-that the!Repu- blican party has secured the freedom offthe colored man and given him the franchif, their mission is not com plete until they secure to him in the south the. right to cast his vote as he chooses and to have that vote counted as cast. Their mission is not comple ted until they wipe out in kindness, but firmly and decisively all .vestiges of th e war, confining and solidifying " this great eosintry, in our grand.rtpub- licof free and sovereign states, irrevo cably cemented, together by our glori ous union, and governed and controlled by a nation of sovereign voters, To ac complish this much remains to be dote, in the south particularly where the white voters are largely in excess of the colored voters, at4 when if the great conservative elemeaUof the white vo ters remain with the bourbon party the result will be lawless, and effectual de nial of the, franchise of the colored man, will be a keeping allver.of the prejudices of the war, coatrary even to the wishes of the great body of ;the white voters themselves, who ha v ing no where else to go, must obey the rule and ruin policy oX Jhelr bourbon bosses. The duty then of the Bepuhli cana of North Oarolia is plain; make your platform sufficiently broad and comprehensive to take in all Usee ele asents, making a grand union, aatl bourbon, human rights party march ing forward for the benefit of tha whole country. - ;" - The bourboa papers woold not oo rase Mahoae If tstrvwt aot afraid he was hunioj Ue Republican, party.

As to any authori for calling one, there is no central com mittee representing the whole race, but a few or any can invite the assembling oa chosen delegates. If a conveution is to be held it would be much better it it could be composed of delegs tea elec ted by the masses of the colored peo ple. Whatever else is alone, webelieve the best advisers among the colored people will , bear steadily in mind the vast importance of generous and cor dial recogition of. all who show their friendship for the race by deeds. The black man baa exhibited the great vir Ute of generosity and forbearance. He can now promote harmony among all who are willing to recognize his lights, not to dispute over the crumbs of office, but to show that free labor will intelli gent v work out its deBtiny. This will, we trust engage Ihe attention of the colored race in America. A high tariff means good wages. A revenue-only tariff means 'less wages and little work. The campaign of 1881 is to be a con test between-American laborers and European manufacturers. Labor ia divided by no color line. The party of protection is the party of American capital and labor. The free traders are the party of foreign capital end labor. The tariff question should largely en gage any convention of colored people, and doubtless will. Meanwhile let us hope all rivalries and disputes among them may be amicably settled.' Nat ion -al Republican. Tidal Wave MfefitM."' The alleged political revolution of 1882 'gave New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Kansaa, and Michigan each a tidal wave or Democratic governor. Cleveland in New York, Pattisoo in Pennsylvania, Butler in Massachusetts, Begole in Michigan and Glick in Kansas were elected by independent or kicking Re publicans, and it will be remembered that tor weeks after the election every sorehead Republican in. the land was pointing with pride to the legend, "I did it," while he was then "anxious that every one should read aud re member. 1 ''v The tidal wave governors have now been oa trial for several mouths, aud, So far, as the Republicans are concern ed; they have, been treated with great Lforbearance. If the fellows who in vented this new variety rof governor were satisfied and the. Democrats hap py in possession of the spoils, there seemed no good reasou why Kepiibh cans should worry themselves about the matter, and they have not done so The complaints come from another quarter, lhn people most duannmnted are tne .Republicans who voted for Democrats under a mistakeu sense of duty or under the spur of petty resent ment. The erowls and crumbles come feost from the stiff jointed impractica- bles who love to call themselves inde pendents, and who affect a conscien tious devotion to reform methods. The Democrats who toted the straight ticket have no reason to complain ex cept in the case of Butler, who, of all tne tidal wave governors, is the onlv one who has been true to title. The exposure of McHeory's nwauij- land job in Louisiana has bee a lull wed by an official, report,1 made? by three Democratic Senators, which uncovers the operations of another riug. Johu McHenry secured his swamp-land con tract from his brother, the preseut Governor, and it is an interesting co incidence that the Governor was Chair man of the board which has allowed .i ring composed of a defaulting Sqgrjtl, three ex-Sheriff j, the state Auditor, the Attorney -General, and several court clerks to work a "very good tiling" in tax claims. The statement of the in vestigating .committee that they have never known a more reckless expeudi tare of public fund or a trcater abue of pubhe confidence has greatly an gered at least one of the beneficiaries, a person who has "Killed his man," but the newspapers are unanimous in de nunciation of the hog.. The most prominent of these gota ao fax as to say that the land job and the tax job are only "specimen bricks," indicating the existence of a rich mine of Democratic nudity not vet developed, and aks thai old question "V,hat are the peo ple going to do about it?" The people might begin their work with two or three prosecutions to the couats. Afic Aaserlraa Saaday grheel Vaiea. HAarixiBJV Coxx- May 20.

The meeting waa enthusiastic, and the resolutions and the speakers confined thenselres to the business in band. Neither the Pope's recent admonition to his clergy nor the dynamite policy was mentioned,' but the rcso.utions speak of English rule in Ireland as the ''tyranny of a foreign coutrtrjpromise the support of the National League "until Ireland shall be a nation." declare that na tional independence is the only solu tion of Ireland's difficulties;" assert that England's fear of a powerful com mercial and industrial rival is the mo tive of her course in Ireland; urge the members of the League to discontinue the purchase and sale of English pro ducts, anjLprotest against the Gladstone policy in Ireland. : If, as is intended, all the Irish socie ties in this country are united in the National League, and if all the mem bers absolutely abstain from the pur chase or sale or use of English pro ducts, that will be evidence that they are in earnest, aDd it will considerably lessen the demand here for English products. ' For the rest, Ireland can not be made an independent, nation without a good deal of hard ; fighting; and we hope the members of the Land ; League see this. No people everre lieved themselves of rulers they hated by the mere force of resolutions adopted in a distaut country. ; - Acoustderable number of Ameri cans believe that -the English way of managing Ireland is blundering and wroDg and would be glad to see it men ded. But when they read resolutions demanding that Ireland shall be an independent nation they ask them selves how it is intedded to attain this Uobject. "Who would be free, them selves must strike tbe blow, and no; sensible or thoughtful ' Irishman can conceal from himself, or ought to con ceal from his less intelligent country men, that to separate Ireland from Great Britain ad make and keep the island "an independent nation" wiil require a good many hard blows,- a great deal of desperate fighting which is to be done, not here, but in Ireland or in England, Nor is it amiss to cau tion the leaders of the Land League against toj many resolutions. The Americans are a practical people, who know that resolutions alone effect nothing. But the proposition to cease buying, selling or u4ugDglish goods : is practical and entirely lawful.

For years he cultivated that faculty, until he was able to emit a blast that wboild frightel the cab hor scs on the boulevards of Paris and drive cornet players wild with envy. Once he was arretted and fined for dis turbing the public peace, when he had only whistled and air, while walking home from the opera load, enough, however, to , wake up every one within naif a mile, more or less. On another occasion he was sinking in "Faust" at the grand opera, aad havinjc a cold, gave some false notes The audience nied. Down he sprang into the or chestra and cried: 'fuace. you have begun to! hiss, let me tell you that you don't understand the art ia the least. Now listen."

Mr.( Douglass has come down to us from1 a- former generation. Ue waa a co-worker, as he was the peer, of Gbrrison, Phillips, Parker.

But for the agitation of the slavery question maintained by them (here would have been no Re publican party, no check upon slavery, no emancipation, 'and-no enfranchise ment of the blacks. The flaming zeal and burning "eloquence of these pip neera aroused what little conscience was left in the north, and little by litt'o the cause Human of Rights pressed for ward until property in man became odious to millions who had not the moral courage to say so.

Republican, in these days when negioes are pursued for their votes by some who have no other inter est in them, as he was an abolitionist when negroes were pursued to be re turned to the slavery from which they had fled. Frederick Douglass is the most eminent American in whosa veins courses African blood.' He is clear of bead and sound of heart. The welfare of the colored race is the dearest object of his life. It is not necessary that any who disagree with him as to holding a convention should accuse him of sin ister motives. In any convention of colored people which may meet he wifl naturally be a conspicuous figure' No judgment cooler, aud no tongue more eloquent than his can be found to to warn the Republican party of the consequences of falling under the con trol et men who shout for the negro in every campaign, and conspire with his worst foes when in office. - The Repub lican party will be sure to have the sup port of Mr. Douglass, and of the colored race generally, if it deserves it.

Assistant Secretary French has writ ten a letter to the collector of customs at Newport News, Va., ia regard to an inquiry whether tonnage tax cm bo collected of a vessel of the United States on clearance foreign when it has not bten previously paid, and also whether tonnage tax can be collected jf a foreign vessel on entry from a do mestic port, if after leaving a domestic port destined to a foreign port her cer tificate of IsjiI payment shall have ex pired; and alsrwhether evidence of the payment of tonnage tax within a year is a necessary prerequisite to the granting clearance to a foreign or do mestic vessel. The assistant tecretary says that the first clause of section 43li, revncjl statutes, requiring the payment of ton nage tax on the entry of any veel from a foreign port is considered to u percede tbe rule laid down in section 1224, revised sUtutes, which made the tax collectable on first learauce nr Brt entry, within a calendar year, and that Ue rule ; now ia to collect the tax on the first entry made by a vessel foreipu or domestic from a foreign port; and this tax cannot be collected again till a second entry of the same vewl shall occur, at least twelve months from the date of tke last payment. Tonnage tax, therefore van be collected of no vessel on a clearance foreign, and if a certificate of paymest made by any vessel shall expire, after she shall leave one domestic port aad enter another, en route to a foreign port, the tax does not attack to such vessel. But if such a certificate shall have expired before the vessels entry, and if not then paid it would be collectable on her next en try at a domestic port.

"The following description of Ander son, Ga., the historical site of the An dersonville prison pen, where so many of the Union soldiers of the late war, who were unfortunately taken prison ers, suffered the pains of exposure and starvation, and gave-up' their lives to the cruelly and barbarity practiced by a people boasting the. 'civilization of the 19th century, brings back to the mind of the editor, himself a prisoner of war for six mouth's, the memories of a time which-wd, hope never will be re peated inlliis country. The account will be of, peculiar interest to soldiers of the late war, and of some iuterest to all classes: - Anderson is the name ol a etatron on the southwestern railroad; about sixty miles from Macou. It is nothing but a railroad station, and the only thing that characterizes tbe spot is the im mense Unioa Cemetery oi- some twen ty acres, oyer which floats the staf ppangled banner. The cemetery is con structed on tLe fpot where the prison ers were buried, aud tjier trenches were dug with such precision and regularity that the Boldiers were not disturbed, but allowed to reuiaiu as their com rades interred them, working under the watchful eye and fixed' bayouets "of the Georgia Home Gtiarcl. The cemetery is surrounded by a si out waif with an iron gate, aud is under the supervision of a superintcudeut, who lives on the grounds. It is a plain sot. T There is not much attempt made to ornament this city of our martyred dead. It would take a-great deal of even such influence as platits and .flowers possess to dispel the melancholy memories that haunt this hill in the piue woods of southern Georgia. There are actually buried on this elevation 13,715 men. The soldier whose identity was preserv ed by his comrades is marked iu his resting place by a white marble stone rising ten inches above the ground. A square marble block with the word ' Unknown" on it is repeated above' 1,000 times in the cemetery. Part of the stockade is still standing. There are two rows of trew one inside the other.

So far as this community may have indulged such incredulity, it can longer do so. A case the worst on recordhas occurred almost ia our midst. The facts can be known for the asking. The man bad been on a long drunk. Had spent all his money and could get no liquor on credit. His wife owned the homestead and had sold timber and got a little money with which to buy food and raiment for the family, lie wanted that money to coutioue his spree, and when all hia entreaties, threats aud other arguments failed to get it, he takes the nursing babe, over a year old, away from jits mother, brother and sisters, to a distant unoccupied cabin, where he kept : it, cold and hungry, from early iu the day until" late in the night. The loving, anxious, and almost crazy mother, after exhausting every efibrt to procure a return of the child, concluded to con ceal herself and "wait the slumbering e fleets of dying whiskey to aid Jher work of material love. About 11 o'clock in tbe night, wren all was quiet, she ventured into the cabin, took her eobbiug aud exhausted child and started for borne. She was soon overtaken by the aroused and fu rious husband, when and where the officer of the law took hold of the man and ended the unequal struggle far the possession of the child, accompanied by the most piteous appeals of the mother and curses of the father.

A most use ful implement to the business man, this iunocent looking pencil can be easily cdu verted into a treacherous friend, and ou no consideration should be used to write signatures. Tbe composition of the pencil is a peculiar combination, highly poisonous in itself and herein lies the danger to signature writers competeut lo give off two or more im pressions on damped paper not tissue paper, be it understood, -but ordinary wriiinjr paper. Attention was first di rected to the peculiarity by ru official of the bank of New Zealand, aud ex periments proved the easy practica bility of snaking a clear copy of the filling in of it cheque with this ink pen cil First, ijhe writing of the cheque is trautfirrotl upside down, of course, to a slip of damped paper, and from that transferred, right side up, to 'another slip of damped paper."
