The two days celebration of Meck lenburg's 109 th anniversary of ; her glorious Declaration of Independence, which closed last night?, was a grand success in every particular and will be long remembered by those who had the privilege of witnessing or participating in it. Here were gath ered thousands of the brave men and women of our own and neighboring States, all inspired by one common impulse to do honor to the memory of the grand men whose heroic deeds more than a century ago left such glorious inheritance to North Caroli na. Distinguished men from this and other States who have taken illustri ous port in the deeds that make his tory, The soldier boys in gay uniform who will be the first called should their country need them, Gallant firemen who unselfishly labor and expose themselves to dan ger to fight the flames, The unpretending toilers, with brawny arms and sunbrowned brows that follow the plow or labor in the shop people representing the varied avocations of life, occupying positions in civic and social life, from the high est to the humblest, were here, all mingling, fraternizing, as members of a brotherhood, having a common lineage and a common heritage min gle and fraternize. With the soft and glorious sun-' shine from the blue and cloudless sky, grand display of marching col umns. Knights Templar in superb costume on handsomely caparisoned horses, soldiers in varied uniforms of attractive style aad hue, firemen in gay garb attired, with their brightly burnished engines and beautifully painted and decorated hose carriages, with waving plumes, pendent ban ners, floating flags, along the line moving to inspiring strains of soul stirring music made a brilliant pa geant, the like of which is not often seen. This moving column, these wav in plumes, banners, flags, these marshal strains, were not simply parts of a mere idle pageant. No, they were more. As they have a history so they have a meaning and an influence. They are tradition imbodied, history dramatized, a re vivifying of the dead past, a blending of the days departed and the days that are, a communing with the spirits of the vanished great, the links that bind in impressive form he men of the past century with their posterity of this and coming ages. It is a teacher. Recalling the heroism of the dead, honored after a nundred years 01 slumber, inspires to emulation of ncble deeds, and trains the heroes of coming years. It makes men proud of their . fathers, proud of the State that gave them and their father's birth, makes them love her better, if better they can, than they loved her before. This is what such a celebration .means, and the lesson that is to be learned from it, and this is why we and our people believe in it and foster it. It ia an asserting of North Carolina's place in the historic column; it inspires patriotism and a proper State pride in waking up the slumbering mem ory of deeds great and glorious, of men brave, noble and devoted, of a State grand as any in the sisterhood of States, and in historic fame sur passing them all. ' ' g-If it was a mere idle pageant, in tended simply to entertain or amuse, we would despatch it without an6ther thought nor think of it to-morrow. But as a reminder of the glorious past, as a teacher to the present and the future, as the natal: day of American liberty, and North Caroli na's splendid inheritance, we treasure it and we congratulate Mecklenburg which made it, and North Caro lina to whom it now belongs, that it has found its place deep in the hearts of her people. It has become an in stitution, and grows bigger as the years roll on.; Tis well. So be it. We are proud of the celebration just past, and Charlotte, Mecklenburg; arid North Carolina, too, may well be proud of it. ' As a Presidential candidate among those whose names are likely to come before the convention, Arthur is the superior of many and the equal of ai'jy. While he has done things to be condemned, his record will com pare favorably with any of . his Re publican predecessors or present opponents, and as a safe non sectional President the interests of the whole country would be safer in tiis hands than in those of any of his opponents who stand a possible chance of a nom ination or election. ' ? The days devoted to the celebraticfa of heroic 'deeds - are', stimulants to heroism. . There is no danserro lib erty dying in a land.whidot' treasures the memory: of those ,wno perilled SU for! liberty. ! The celebration of the past two days gives evidence that there is life in the old land yet, a very considera ble amount of life. If the Republican party succeeds in electing the next President, tariff reform or any other kind of reform will be things in the dim and distant future. i -m m The Savannah News remarks that Mr.'-Ferdinand Ward, of the Grant & Ward firm, is a "native Pennsylva nia protectionist." Oh, no. He is evidently a free trader on some other people's property. The Baltimore courts have struck out boldly for reform. A few days ago a man was fined $25 and senten ced to three months imprisonment for lying in a hore trade. " The Goldsboro Messenger says that Maj. W. A. Smith does not take much stock.in the politics of the Re publican party now under its present manipulation- . He endorses Faircdoth and Duke, but is non-committal on the rest of the State ticket. He thinks his party missed an opportu nity in not nominating Judge By num for Governor. The firm of Ward & Grant as a very peculiar one iu some respects. The Grants didn't seem to know any thing about the business, and Ward when put upon the stand to tell something about it, couldn't remem ber. But the people who were taken in pemember to the tune of something oveT $10,000,000, which taken in the bulk, is a pretty fair-sized reminder. Hon. James B. Eustis, who is to succeed Mr. j Jonas in the United States Senate from Lousiana, already has been a member of that body, the predecessor in fact of the gentleman whom he will displace. He is a son of a former Chief Justice of Louisi ana. Mr. Eustis is a graduate of Harvard, and a man of wealth and recognized ability. m i J The following, written by Senator Edmunds to the managers of the ex Confederate Home in Richmond, does that gentleman credit: "Its objects certainly have my sympathy, for however erroneous the people of the North may have considered the at tempt to establish a Confederate government to have been, no one can fail to commiserate the condition of any disabled soldier who fought in a cause that he believed to be a good on." the Mcpherson bill. Fears thai it May Not be Passed at he Present Session. Washington, May 19. The failure of the friends of the McPherson bill for the prevention of further contrac tion of the currency to secure a hear ing in the House to day has filled them with apprehensions that it will be impossible for them to secure favorable action upon that measure during the present session of Con gress. The McPherson bill proper, which passed the Senate, is on the Speaker's table with fifty odd bills ahead of it, and the substitute for the Wilkins bill reported, from the House bank ing and currency committee, which is identical in its provisions with the McPherson bill, holds an equally un favorably position on the House calendar. Neither can be reached at this session except by unanimous consent or by a motion to suspend the rules, which can onlj be made on the third Monday of the month. ( A. Letter From Sir Dane. Ex-President Davis has written a letter, regretting his inability to accept an invitation to attend a mili tary encampment at Rome, Ga., in which he says: "The inducements you offer are to me most attractive. To see the veterans of the war for State sovereignty, and the sons of those who so nobly maintained the pause, would be to me a pleasure of which it is with sincere regret I find myself deprived. Borne down by overwhelming numbers, Southern resistance to wrong and usurpation ? roved unavailing, but believing, as did and do, that cause was just, that we were but asserting the eter i . it - . n nai trutns on wmcn our iatners founded American Independence, and which, sooner or later, I hope and believe the American people will reassert, I cannot admit that "ours was a lost cause." It may not be I hope it never will be, necessary to vindicate that cause by force of arms : but when the passions of the day hare subsided, and reason has replaced truth upon her throne, that ours will again, be recognized as the Union of free, sovereign and inde pendent States" held together by a common interest and the noble desire to transmit the blessings of liberty to our posterity "forever."

This action is considered a definite rupture between Prince Jerome and Prince Victor.. What Randall Thinks Aboat Aejearn- .'.

The friends of Mr. Blaine are get ting up a counter movement toihe business men's meetings held and in contemplation to boost Arthur. Thev are circulating a call for a similar mamlestation, which will bo held within a week of the meeting of the Chicago convention, "in favor of snrh an administration of the government as wm ename tno country to mam tain its self-respect abroad andjrestoro to the American name its former prestige among the nations of the earm." i ne can is only in manu soriot as vet. and it is used for nri vate circulation among the followers of tbe "nhimed knis-ht" at r,h nn town clubs, but in due time it will Diossom into a rormal summons for a public meeting at the Academy of Music, iu order to break the moral eneci oi tne Artnur movement. Mr. Blaine's maaagers say for every mer chant and banker on the Arthur call ther can get a duplicate, or triDlicate. and that, too, without any personal appeals on tne noors or tne down town exchanges.

Victor Bonnet, Deux Mondes," in the "Revue des out that in points f oi ty years the 3ecie circulation of France has grown from $600,000,000 ot specie and $100,000,000 of notes to $1,500,000,000 of specie, or $900,000, 000 gold and $600,009,000 silver, and $600,000,000 of notei at present. In round numbers this $2,100,000,000 is two and a half times as much as the currency of England or Germany and four times as muck as Italy. The consequence of this plethora of cur rency is its accumulation at financial centres, which causes cheap money" and gives the impression of unem ployed capital and stimulates specu lation. The United States, with a much freer me of checks and bank accounts than any of these countries, had, November 1, 1883, a currency of $1,523,366,989, f which $270,000 has been added in the last four years. This has been followed with precisely the same effect as in France. Money is "cheap." The New York bank re serve has reached unprecedented figures, and the general public be lieves that capital is plenty, while as a fact the currency is redun dant. The Zx-Cesfeeraie Rome. The Philadelphia Times, referring to the movements in progress in Bal timore, New York and Boston in aid of the proposed home at Richmond, Va., for the entirely helpless and homeless ex-Confederates, says "Philadelphia has not yet moved in the matter beyond a few individual contributions, but we hope to see the great loyal city of the Union come to the front and give a helping hand to efface the lingering shadows of the war."
