COIn JOHNSTON'S CARD.
As an evidence that we propose to do
Col. Johnston full justice we give him
the benefit of his statement as it ap
peared in the Home and Democrat of
yesterday. He says:
A portion of the press of lUo State
has Rften nroner to publish gross mis
representations, and indulge in vile
abuse of me. These malignant attacks
appear to have originated with some
"penny-a-liner," at Washington City,
who appears to make his facts as he
writes. They state that J sought office
of the President; that I said "we desire
to see the Democracy of North Caro
lina defeated in the next election ;" and
that T had "ioined the Radical camp,"
&c. I pronounce these and all such
statements utterly false. Such charges
are unworthy of notice to those who
know me, but others may be misled by
my silence. It is remarkable how some
DHmocratic sensational journals have
published and endorsed them, and en
deavored to drive me from the party by
their malign criticisms. Already the
cry has been raised by the would-be
leaders, and some petty editors, "crucify
him! crucify him!" because I dared to
differ from the Prohibition leaders in
their crusade against popular rights,
and because I recommended an anti
nrohibitionist for collector of this dis
trict ; while some of them recommend
ed a Prohibitionist who would extir
pate a great industry in the State. This
seems to be the head and front of my
offending, and the cause of Tray,
Blanche and other curs barking after
me. Such was the cry when I first de
nounced the prohibition law. But the
people saw their rights and vindicated
them at the polls, as they will ever do
when the truth and facts are presented
to them. Many officeholders and aspi
rants see their doom legibly written in
the popular mind, and would be glad
to change the issues before the people,
who will not forget in a month or a
year the wrongs attempted to be im
Dosed upon them. Vituperation based
upon false accusations has no terror for
honest men and true citizens The
party lash is powerless to maintain or
ganization, except upon political dupes
and slaves. Freemen scorn it. If a
private citizen who is neither a candi
date or aspirant for office is to be de
nounced as unpopular, dishonest and a
traitor, for exercising independence of
thought and action, such party will
soon disintegrate. And if with the un
fortunate legislation and management
in both State and Federal politics, there
is not some improvement, the party
will disband itself, and reorganize un
der the banner of economy, retrench
ment, reform and popular rights. Sixty
winters have whitened my locks. In
that experience, I trust that I have
rendered some service to my fellow
men and my country, although witlings
may revile and party hacks defame, I
cheerfully leave the issues to my fellow
citizens. "I would rather be right than
be President," was the immortal decla
ration of one of America's greatest and
purest statesmen, when accused of bar
gain and corruption.
Respectfully,
Wm. Johnston.
Papers that have published the Wash
ington City correspondent's letter are
requested to copy the above in justice
to me. W.J.
Charlotte. N. C, Jan. 25, 1882.
With all due respect to Col. Johnston
we must say while the above is to
a certain extent a denial of the charge
that he "desired to see the Democracy
of North Carolina defeated in the next
election," that that charce was not
based simply on the assertion of some
"penny-a-liner at Washington City,"
but also upon an editorial in the Na
tional Republican, the organ of the Re
publican party in Washington, which
spoke very positively and pointedly.
It was not stated that he "sought office
of the President," but simply that he
sought the support of the administra
tion in the war he proposed to wage
upon the Democratic party. No one
will be gladder to know that he has
been incorrectly reported in this matter
than The Observer, which while it
publishes the news will not knowingly
do injustice to any one.
But we would ask if the Colonel has
been so much misrepresented in the re
ports referred to why the reference to
reorganization "under the banner of
economy, retrenchment, reform and
popular rights?" If these things do
not exist under the present organiza
tion and Col. Johnston desires that they
should, it would be a very natural thing
for him to seek new affiliations, and we
see no occasion for his disavowing the
attempt. He certainly cannot be in full
accord with a party which is deficient in
these .essential elements, and if in full
accord his utterances are strange, to say
the least of them. We trust, however,
to see the Colonel working in good faith
to bring about within the party the re
forms which he advocates without
going outside to seek new and strange
alliances and affiliations.
In conclusion we will simply remark
that while as a private citizen he is and
must be exempt from criticism, that
when he appears in Washington and
participates in political matters, then
he for the time parts with the charac
ter of the private citizen and becomes
a public character and subject to such
criticism as he invites. This he ought
not to complain of, unless misrepresent
ed, when it is the duty, as it ought to be
the pleasure of the journals that criti
cism him to do him justice when criti
cized unjustly.
NO NECESSITY FOB IX.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, has re
cently written a letter on the new
political movement in that State, which
concludes thus:
I trust it is scarcely necessary for me
to say to you or to the people that I can
give no countenance to the new move
ment. I see no necessity for it I ex
pect to vote for the Democratic nomi
nee for Governor of Georgia in 1882,
and for the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice-President in 1884, if
I live to see the elections, and shall be
glad to contribute my humble raite to
the success of the Democratic party up
on a liberal and just platform, which I
havfi no doubt it will occuDF. and I
trust the great body of our people will
feel it their duty to do the same.

A LIYELiY DAY'S BUSINESS.

to yield for that purpose. The matter
went over until to-morrow.
The House then, at 4:45, took a recess
until 7:30, the evening session being for
debate only.
Incidentally discussing revenue and
taxation he favored an early reduction
of taxes; believing Congress would vio
late a public duty if it did not at this
session secure such reduction.
The question was as to what internal
taxes ought to be repealed.
Sherman said he favored the repeal
of all except upon whisky, tobacco and
beer, lie would include tne tax on
matches and stamp tax making, a total
reduction of $15,000,000. He would
then revise the tariff. In this connec
tion he urged the necessity of an early
re-arrangement of the duties on sugar,
iron and steel.
"When Sherman concluded, the cnair
submitted a number of executive com
munications transmitting reports
and documents from the department of
State ; among them one from the Secre
tary of State in response to the Senate

The
CHINESE immlGRATION.
Senator Miller, of California, is going
for the Chinese immigrant with a vim,
and proposes to practically put an end
to the immigration of the almond-eyed
sons of the Celestial Empire, which
will be pretty effectually accomplished
if his bill passes Congress. It is posi
tive in its provisions and not only for
bids the Chinese laborers from coming
to these shores but punishes by
fine and imprisonment those engag
ed in any way in the importation
of them. There is no doubt but that
the wholesale and indiscriminate im
portation of the lower order of China
men and women which has been car
ried on for years ought to be stopped,
for it has flooded the Pacific States with
a worthless and a villainous class of
people, who never become citizens and
are a nuisance on general principles.
They bring nothing into the country
when they come to it but their vices
and take everything out which is worth
taking when they leave it.

of Charleston, S. C, with an accom

letter, which was read, urges the neces

Miller, of California, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, reported
with an amendment the bill to enforce
treaty stipulations relating to the Chi
nese. He gave notice that he would
ask the Senate that the bill be taken
up on Wednesday.
The bill as reported from the com
mittee provides that from and after the
expiration of six days next after its en
actment, and until the expiration of 20
years from same date, the coming of
Chinese laborers to the United States
shall be suspended, and that "during
such suspension it shall not be lawful
for any Chinese laborer to come, -or
having come after the expiration or said
sixty days, to remain within the United
States." Second section provides that
any master of any vessel who shall
brincr within the jurisdiction of the
United States any Chinese laborers from
any foreign ports, shall be liable to a
fine of $500 for each Chinese laborer so
brought, and may also be imprisoned
for a term not exceeding one year. It
is provided, however, that the two
foregoing sections shall not apply to
any Chinese laborers who were in the
United States on the 17th day of No
vember, 1880, the date of last treaty
with China, or who shall come hither
within the sixty days above-mentioned,
and who shall produce to the collector
of the port where tne vessel arrives
certain prescribed evidence of his
beine entitled to exemption. The
bill also provides that all Chinese
subjects who are entitled under trea
ty to come into and reside in
the United States as merchants,
teachers, students and travelers and
their servants shall be required to' ex
hibit at the port of entry a passport
from the Chinese government fully
identifying them and showing that
they belong to one of the exempted
classes; which passport must be also
revised and approved by our diplomat
ic representative in China, or the Unit
ed States Counsel at the port of depar
ture. The remainder of the bill elaborately
prescribes the requisite machinery of
registration, etc., for carrying its pro
visions into effect.

The House resumed the consider

which are entitled to employ clerks,
the question being on the amendment
offered by Holman, of Indiana, striking
out a number of committees from the list
of those entitled to clerks and a sepa

was first taken on that portion of the
amendment striking out the committee
on Military.
Scales, of North Carolina, declared
that for the 10 years he had been a
member of that committee but one bill
had been referred to it.
The house refused yeas 104; nays

Repeal of the Lef al Tender Clause.
Herald's Washington Special.
An influential member of Congress
was asked by your correspondent
whether he would not introduce a bill
or resolution repealing the legal tender
quality of greenbacks. The congress
man is himself a Bound money man,
but he replied at once that it was use
less to attempt to repeal the legal ten
der clause. "Both parties would unite
to put down such an attempt," he said.
"There is not the least chance for the
passage of such a measure. It
would not even get a hearing or the
least support from either party, and
the man who ventured to otter sucn a
resolution, no matter which party he
was of, would raise such an outcry
about his ears as would make him re
gret he had touched the question."
But the attempt ought to be made
nevertheless. In the Senate there are
at least two very able men who believe
that the legal tender quality is mis
chievous, dangerous and unconstitu
tionalSenators Edmunds and Bayard.
In the House there are four members
of the Committee of Ways and Means,
two of each party, whose views are
believed to be similar Messrs. Kasscm
and Hubbell, Republicans, and Carlisle
and Morrison, Democrats. If Congress
were even certain to defeat a resolu
tion repealing the Legal Tender Act,
the question ought to be debated so as
to attract the country's attention to it.
If the New York and Boston chambers
of Commerce would petition Congress
for the repeal of legal tender, that
might encourage senators or represent
atives to bring the question up in
Congress.
