THE SECTIONAL. ISSUE.
There is no longer any doubt that
the sectional issue is to be a leading
one in the coming elections in the
Northern States, as it was in Ohio,
and that in the next presidential
election the ensanguined garment
will be held aloft by the Republican
stumpers. Had Ohio gone Demo
cratic some other issue might have
been made more prominent, but
John Sherman's success encourages
the Republican : leaders in other
States to play his role. It figures
conspicuously now in the campaign
speeches in -New York and PennsyK
van ia. while the ' Mahoneites" in Vir
ginia are waving it with considera
ble vigor. - It is with the Republican
politicians a polical necessity, and
they resort to it not so much because
they hate the South as because they
look upon it as one of the chief
means to success, u- The South might
do every thing possible for her to do
to placate that class of people, but
while she is Democratic they will
never be , . placated and ? never
cease I- to " raise ; the , sectional
issue. As far as their interest
m the colored man, whose cause they
profess to. take so much to heart,
goes it amounts to nothing for they
dont care a continental about what
becomes of him politically, ; socially
or otherwise. This isjsimply a pre
tense to justify theissueithey keep
and want to keep prominent.
But the South ,is after all not really
much ' concerned in. this sectional
issue, and while it is unpleasant to be
abused and slandered, she need not
fret nor worry much over? it. The
time was when it hurt her and hurt
her badly,' but that day has gone by.
She is now able to take care of her
self, proposes to do it and will do it.
The white people of. the South under
stand the colored man, and the
colored man understands the white
people. They have been brought
closer together within the past few
years, and the colored man has
learned enough to know that his
welfare is to be found out
side of politics, from which he has
derived no benefit thus far. He is
not half as much concerned over his
political condition as the bloody-
shirt howlers on the other side of the
line seemi to be, and he is not going
to be any more concerned about a
year, two veers or three years hence
than he is now.
On ' the whole, the South just at
this time is calm, contented and
serene, taking more or less interest,
of course, in the drift of political
events North of us, but in no wise
disturbed about the result. She isf
giving, and wisely so, more interest to
raising good crops, more of them ; to
building new industries, and more of
them; to building new railroads, and
more of them;' to developing new re
sources, and more of them, than to
politics. And, in the meantime, she
invites all good people who want to
help in this work to . come along,
plant themselves and be happy, while
the bloody shirters howl themselves
hoarse on the other side of the line.
Fitzhugh Lee is making a lively
canvass of Virginia, and the Demos
crats are giving him rousing meet
ings ; .: while Wise is reported to be
having a lonely time. . It is said that
Mahone is not giving Wise much aid
and comfort, and that he is running
a still hunt with the view to securing
a Legislature that will return him to
the Senate. ' '
The Lynchburg (Va.) Advance says
Lynchburg pays more revenue to the
United States on the single article of
tobacco than any of the New England
States pays : on everything it pio-
duces.
The deposed Chief Justice Vincent,
of New Mexico, wants vindication.
From present appearances it looks as
if he was overdoing the vindicating
business. For a O. J. he was on ens
tirely too familiar terms with 8. W.
Dorsey,and others of his kidney.
Postmaster-General Vilas has man
aged the affairs of his department so
carefully hat-for the first time in its
history Congress will not be called
on to make a deficiency appropria
tion.; There will probably, be a sur
plus of more than $1,000.
y'lA Frenchman, . who don't believe
that " men ; who can marry ought to
persist k in .living ' in bachelordom,
figures out that there are 2,000,000 of
single men in - France who are well
able to provide for wives, and who
could marry if they would, but won't.
He proposes to punish ihein by a tax
of $20 a head, and thus make a $40,
000.000 revenue for the State.
The following ; from the Augusta
(Ga ) Chronicle .will apply to other
Southern States as well: "If the in
surance companies realize a profit Of
nearly $500,000 per annum in Georgia,
it does not require much figuring to
show that, v if possible, that money
ought to be kept at home, if the State
expects to gVow rich. We are kept
poor by just such leaks."

CarL Schurz ; says he supports
Davenport, Republican candidate for
Governor of New York, because the
election of Hill (Democrat) would be
a rebuke, ' to Mr. ; Cleveland's civil
service policy. Schurz can take a
cross-eyed view of things, when he
wants to. - -

acted so outrageously last week as to
cause quite an uproar and much in
dignation in the county. They got
drunk and made a raid upon the dis
tillery of a citizen and, without war
rant of law cut it up, and acted with
violence unbecoming omcers of the
law. Petitions have gone to Marshal
Settle asking for their immediate dis
missal from the service.

Asheville Citizen : The progress of
the Asheville and Spartanburg road
is entirely satisfactory, v Six miles
and upwards of track are laid, and it
is pronounced the best new track
ever laid in the State. The grading
of the unfinished part is being pushed,
and there seems to be no doubt that
connection with Henderson viUe will
be perfected by the 10th of December,
and perhaps by the 1st. Additional
convicts will be added this week.
The Bulletin, which reached us last
night, gives us the gratifying intelli
gence that the Georgia Legislature
has passed an act for relief of the
Marietta & North Georgia Railroad,
and that work has been ordered to be
begun at once. The bill also says the
road must be completed by the 1st of
September, 1887. The Western N. C
Road is approaching, also, so our
friends in Cherokee are justly jubi
lant over the prospects.
Raleigh Visitor: ; It is with . deep
regret that we announce the death of
Mr. John C Blake, .which occurred
at the residence of his mother in tins
city, corner of Davie and South Mc
Dowell streets, this morning atv 9 :50
o'clock, after a protracted illness.
The Colored Industrial Fair will open
in this city on No venfber 9th and will
continue until the 14th. The exhibi
tion will take place at Camp Russell,
in the eastern part of the city, and
we hear that the prospects are good
for a successful fair.- The people
of Groldsboro voted yesterday for the
issue of $35,000 in bonds for the purs
pose of constructing water works.
This at least should be a good hint to
the capital of the State.
