WILMINGTON, N. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, .1899. t- i i CABOUNA SOL- ABOUT KOMTI , MKKS. Tn the Confederate Veteran for Oc tober Mr J. Cooper of Fairfax cquhty, Virginia,! gave an account of what is. known as the battle "of Game's Mill, one' of the fierce -battles .around Rich mond in the famous seven days.- :Mr Cooper is a prejudiced) or misleading writer. In the Veteran .for December Mr, N. B. Hogan, of Springfield, Mis souri, replies tp him at some length. He complains. of tte unfairness, of Mr. Cooper. North Carolinians have nau .frequent occasion to complain 'of. the want of fairness on the part of Vir ginia writers in dealing wUh the third ' day's fight at Gettysburg. The t.ut Annp to North Carolina has f times, but a jjeen eipsm v- - , lie wears "seven jleague boots" and it is still trotting in fts old way, of de famaticm and misrepresentation. It is pleasant to find Ian educated soldier from' Missouri, Mr. Hogan, writing so ' cordially in behalf of tub North Caro Una troops as in the. following: .', ' . xrijr,i 'mi i&A prat es show1 a dis- nnitinn tnl extol!

And! yet, in reading some of our histories! and accounts .of the battle of Jul,y 3, 11863, one is led to be lieve that Pickett and his men were the chief -actors ii. that bloody drama." . General Clement A. Evans, of At lanta, Gal, writes a communication, to the Veteran f o - December headed North Carolina'? Quota of Soldiers." - General Evans C spies at length from "a carefully con piled paper by Pro fessor D. II. lliil, of Raleigh. (1898) exhibiting thej pitriotism of the Old North x State irj tie Confederate war." Proefssor Hill .is the son of the late very gallant General "Daniel H. Hill, a ' native of South! Carolina, who com- " mandedV'a division of North Carolina troops." North Carolinians are famil iar with the record, but it. is pleasant to se it copied into the. Veteraq by a distinguished sole ier or the great State of Georgia. . We give, this from Pro fessor Hill: . "Adjutant' ant. Inspector General Cooper- reports (probably a close esti mate) that 600,00 men were first and last, enrolled under the confederate flag.. .What proportion pf these ought North Carolina! to have furnished? The. total white population of the- elev en seceded states' was 5,441,320. North Carolina's was 629942 and it was third in white population .hence North Car olina would' have discharged to the letter every lega . obligation resting upon it if it furnished 62,942' troops! What number did. it actually, supply? On November 19l 1864,-Adjutant 'Genr eral R. C. Gatli i, a most systematic and careful officet, made an -official re port to the governor, (of North Caro lina) on this subject. Troops-, trans- ferred to the confederate service, ac? cording to original rolls on file in this office, 64,636; cOnscripJts between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, as" per report of commandant -of conscripts dated September 30, 18,585; Tecruits tv-.t,have volunteered in the different cempanies since 'date of original rolls . (compiled), 21,608; troops in unattach i r- ed companies and serving in'regiments i - from other states, 3,103; regular troops . in state service, 3,203r-totar offensive, 111,135. To these must be added junio reserves, 4,217; ssnidri reserves, 5,686 total in active service, zi,u. inen i organized and Subject to emergency service in he state home, guard and ' militia, 3,962. fotal troops armed, 'equipped, mustered into state or con federate service, j 125,000. 3 "From these official figures it will be i seen thatj estimating the offensive troops alone, North. Carolina exceeded her quota 41,715 men. Including "the i , junior and senior reserves who1 did ' active duty in garrison, guarding pris ! oners, and on ocaasioi good fighting . the state exceeded its quota by 51,618. r Taking all, it wejnt over its quota by r the large sum of 55,580. This number of troops far exceeded the state voting population'.'' ' '. : i The Roster published by the legisla ture calls for over 131,000. But this is excessive b ' careless copying, i " Many names were repeated by transfer .i of men from one infantry to cavalry or artillery and thei,r names being enter ed: in. oth armies of the. service.

It is probable that the numbers only approximate the real strength furnished by the great "old State, since the- doubling of names may have oc- i curred in some instances by various , re-enlistments oir changes of' com mands.

The dis gusting, disgraceful revelations of the recent and past have, (tended to intensify infirm previous opinion. To ow that .the newspapers are awaking more than ever before4 to this very im portant matter, wefouote a few onin- ions friom editorials'-before us as we write.

RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE Governor: Russell has very effectual- lly put. himself big as he is in his pori- dorosity, into la hole ralther deep and dismal in his attack upon Major Wil son,; or tne, raliroaa commissiuu uutu wickedly and maliciously driven out by his almighty flat and gubernatorial ukase. It, is understood .at Raleigh that his case against Major Wilson. has . fallen ; through completely. For -1 some i reason best ; known to Rus sell he has: taken a great risk in his vindictive pursuits of a capable official and an innocent man. The people will put him on trial and will vindicate Major Wilson from every charge. The Charlotte Observer, which has studied the case with care, says this: "He has! not established one of the charges which he preferred, with so much i confidence, in his special mes sage? of the 17th of January. He has paraded before . the public a series-of grave j accusations against a reputable citizen, land wjien called upon to prove them cannot dp so. Didn't he know he couldn't? i If not. :he should have known it;:br fo put i it otherwise, if he did not know that he could make good these , serious allegations he should never have -brought them. He knows that: if he .Ihadjdone so as a private cit izen he wbuld have laid himself liable to the' penalties of the law of libel, arid! certainly the governor of a state, whose: j words are ! supposed to carry great , weight, should be further than an ordinary citizen ; from trifling . with character.' j If trict solicitor Mr. Russell were a dis he would never -drawn a bill of indictment against a man with out jknowing jwhat his witnesses were going to" swear to, and yet in this easel, in a state paper, he recklessly prefers charges which if true would make their object infamous, and when put to thej test cannot make a single one of them good." Clearly j ana, forcefully stated. Is a governor! i exempt from obeying the Ten Commandments? ,.Isthe chief ex ecutive of a great state above the law of righteousness? - Can he persecute, malign, dstroy at i will? Cannot the courts reach him? j Is he above and beyond ali law, humane and divine, legal and-moral? The Observer adds:' "The whole prosecution has been shown to-be wanton and malicious. The! governor, with his usual impul siveness when he has in view the tak ing of vengeance upon an enemy has m this case rushed - headlong into a transaction without seeing where, he was'to come out." j . There ought to be a legal or legis- ' lative line; somewhere long enough and strong enough to reach him in his dis mal; hole j and fish ;him out.

The only way to blot out -the whiskey - business j is through public sentiment, and we be-? neve tne establishing or a dispensary is a step toward educating public senti ment ;up to that point The fact that North Carolina towns . which, have heretofore been .considered .whiskey centers are agitating the matter shows that there is- much in the system to commend: ' And the experience of Waynesville, Fayetteville and Louis- burg is that the dispensary has solved the whiskey question in . those towns more eiiectuauy than all. the temper ance lectures that have been delivered for years. iRaleigh Post. j - I The (Charlotte Observer well eays: "Tjiere ought to be 'some way of pun ishing governors as well as other peo ple for such crimes as this against an individual." So there ought, and ; the same punishment should include those who conspired with Governor Russell in this instance for his headlong rush into a transaction without seeing where! he was tp come out," A serions crime was intended againstcertain in terests, and through those interests against certain individuals, to accom plish which it became necessary . to outrage decency as well as honesty in the oppression and injury of certain railroad commissioners. Governor Russell became the willing 1 tool of those no whit better than . himself , if so good. The Governor, by the ex posure of his scheme and its complete overthrow, should not be permitted to ' suffer alone. His co-conspirators, equally guilty, should be fully exposed and, at least -to that extent, punished along with him. And, as our Charlotte contemporary says, "it only remains for a just legislature to repair the great wrong-jdone by a vindictive and hot headed executives'Raleigh Post.; There seems ; to: be no method - by which the suffrage can be restricted in North - Carolina to these who should vote, except by" an amendment to the Constitution. An election law which would permit the dominant party ! to count out the opposition or otherwise defraud it is open to objection on the ground that it is not honest and that its application tends to demoralize those who execute it, and. those) who know of its 'execution for the purpose nentioned: for it must be seen that the tendency of dishonesty in' politics is toward- dishonesty in personal transac-. tions. But aside front this fatal objec Hon to such an election law as that in dicated, it cannot always ,5e depended upon as an effective agent for the pur pose of its creation. It , was seen ! in 1894 how, with an election law of dem ocratic making and with the machm ery in democratic hands, the people dislodged this party: and again in 1898 howvwith a law of fusion making -and with ts execution in the hands of. f u- sionistsK the .people ran -over it and iinhorsed. the party in power. Tt Was neither honest nor efficient, nor can confidence in its efficiency be placed in any dishonest election law. So, with out suggestingHhat the detnocrats hkve or ever had a parpose to enact a law Which was open to fraud, the point Is hiu-e rnade that if ' it is intended to shut out from the polls the ignorant, unpa triotic and irresponsible element of the population, it is necessary,, to go deeper than the' enactment of a mere statute ! law.which- will be subject to amend ment or repeal by, any succeeding leg islature.

Mount Olive February 2. . i One of the prettiest weddings among the numerous notable hymenial events in Mount Olive was celebrated, last evening at 7 o'clock at the Methodist Church in this city.

Long before' the hour for the mar riage the church vas crowded to ov-er-flowing with the relatives and friends and acquaintances of the couple. While in waiting Miss Eliza Holmes presided at the organ and artistically rendered the wedding ' marru. ''. I ; The church had Ween most elabor ately and tasteful decorated for the occasion. The ceremony wts beauti- I fully and i impresively performed by Rev. J. T.j Bagwell.

I After they richly feasted they then returned to board the 9:16 train for a tour to New York, Niagara and other northern cities. They will be absent for several weeks.
