The Statesville Landmark says :
The drift of opinion seems to be
that the Republicans will next year
run an independent Democrat for
Governor, and the name oftenest
seen and heard in this connection is
that of Mr. Richmond ; Pearson, of
&uncombe. For one we have no
idea that Mr. Pearson would lend
himself to any such scheme. His
election under such circumstances
wt uld be a Repulican victory, pure
and simple, and theeame mtluences
which brought it about would give
the electoral vote of the State to the
Republican candidate for President.
Mr. Pearson will contribute to no
such result."
Does the Landmark make its last
assertion by authority?

How Men akb Mistakes. "
w e maae a remark: yesterday on
the blindness of certain men to the
future of Asheville. TL ey have been
rudely aroused from their dream of
fancied sagacity by the brilliancy
of development not believed possii
ble in easy going North Carolina.
Asheville is not alone in 1 emerging
from the crysalis state and breaking
the crust of the cerements of old
habits. .
We remember some year agrj
not more than fifteen Durham'was
an ineignificant railroad station
with the dullest hope possible for
the future. A body of land 130 acres
or more, now comprised in its pres
ent limits, was on tbe market, .at
public vendue, under administra-t
tors sale. The same was bid off to
a fxurcbaser of small, mean?, but
with some glimmer of enterprise,
for $3000. But after tbe sale he was
alarmed at his boldness ; and then
went to consult old (rie jds gentles
men prominent in influence, and re
spected for judgment. Both agreed
he had done a rash tuim; : and he
straightway went, and "rued" his
bargain. Five years afterwards a
son of the same gentleman, wishing
to establish a tobacco warehouse,
had to pay $5000 for two acres com"
prised in the original tract of 130
acres which his father bad bid in at
$3000. Sixteen years ago here in
Asheville a bodv of land in the cor
porate limits was offered at $8 an
acre and no taker. Now the same
is sold in 100 foot front lots at
$1200 or $1500 each.
And thus fortune is mibsed.
Municipal Matters.
On the first Monday in May, the
2d day thereof, our people must-1-the
white, intelligent, business peo
ple elect a Mayor and Aldermen.
Our business aud working men
h ive too much at stake in this mat
ter to be indifferent. We speak of
them because we belong - to that
class, and appreciate ful y both our
necessities and opportunities. The
want of proper concert of action
among us all is embarrassing. To
what this may lead may be greatly
injurious to our city and its future.
A meeting has been called for
Monday night, by whose authority
is not stated. The complexion of
the meeting is indicated by the fol
lowing in the Adance to farther the
call :
"A mass meeting has been called
for Monday night at the Court
house. It will be non-political in its
character. All are invited to at
tend, black and white, democrat and
republican. A ticket will be selected
that will win and prove a benefit to
the citv. if the good DeoDle of the
city will turn out and work in har
mony nr a common cause.
Blacks, whites, radicals and dem
ocrats, it seems are especially ini
vited to this meeting. If the blacks
happen to be in the majority, and
bhould happen to name a ticket
with a black citizen upon it, all who
take part in that meeting are mor
ally and honorably bound to stand
by 6uc!i ticket. So far as we are
concerned we will be bound - by no
such Concern. We are perfectly
willing to co-operate with white citi
zens, regardless of politics, in strict-
y local matters, and stand by the
result of a meeting which is a result
of such cooporation; but when col
ored men are invited to a meeting
to take part " therein they are as
much entitled to be beard as any
other, and, under such circumstanc
es should a colored man be named
for a place by a majority of those
present he would and ought to be
entitled to the full support of all
who take p irt in the meeting. As
we will not support a negro for any
such position, we will not go into a
meetingto which they are invited
to take part, and then deny them a
chance to be heard. .;
We know there are partiea who
are figuring around on this munici
pal matter who are not ht to have
the places to be filled. The best in
terests of Asheville require they
should not be selected to fill the
municipal offices. The white citi
zens of Asheville, republican and
democratic, who are sincerely desir
ous ol the continued prosperity .ot
Asheville can and should unite upon
a ticket which would not only be
elected, but which would contribute
to the furtherance ot the growth
and prosperity of our city. With
such -ve are perfectly willing to co
operate. We ask the serious atten
tion of our people, and white peo
pie, regardless of party affiliation",
to tins matter. '

' FARM IMPROVEMENTS &C ;
. Editors CiUxen.la tbe first place be
fore 1 fonret it in writing let me thank
yoa for a very able editorial lately in the
Citizen upon the subject of agriculture.
It was so good and so much to the point
that I regret, iu the interest of farmers,
that you cannot aflord to keep it in your
columns as standing matter. - it is worth
more than all tbe political matter you
have published in the past six months. 'I
regret that the old Colonel, of your staff,
has not favored us latelywith an essay
on the culture of grapes.- Speaking of
grapes puts me in mind to say that our
old and reliable seedsman, Vr, vandiver,
has been doing a good work by persuad
ing everybody to set out grape vines and
sti t out pear-trees.. He has sold -thousands
of the grape vines aud hundreds of
the pear trees, and he has worked with a
view to induce our farmers to rive more
attention to the culture of ahigber grade
of fruit. Soon our hills and: mopes will
hjg vines and trees. Why shoald not the
presence ot varied and rich fruit be an
evidence of advanced civilization as well
iB that of music and flowers. I think it
is, and as fully conducive to our "whole
some." I do not know what has incited
oar people in the matter of buying better
pastures and meadows, but the fact is the
people seem to have grass on the brain.
Jivery Dody is sowm clover, orchard
crass and timothy seed- Capt. Weaver
has in 93 acres on his home farm, and
intends to devote nearly all his moun
tain' land to clover and orchard crass.
The craze, aud a good one it is, seems to
prevail eeneraiiy. vve wi:i soon be able
to rule the bjlad hay of other States out
of Asheville, and as to fruit we expect.
when the railroad is completed from
Asheville to Rutherfordton. to furnish
Wilmington and coast cities, not onlv
with fruit and baled hay, but with Dr.
Vandiver's celebrated mountain cabbage.
The college is doing well the faculty is
able and painstaking, and the students
do credit to the institution. Preparations
are hem,? made at the St. Clair hotel for
a go.idly number of guests this summer.
It is a quiet retreat for those who study
economy and desire to stay the whole
season without an emptv exchequer
when they get ready to eo home. Our
ceramic factory is flourishing and will be
greatly enlarged at once. Byerly gives
us the time ol day with bis steam whistle
and sometimes scares a countryman's
horse.- We have six clergymen located
here, all good and clever gentlemen, but
there is one a new coiner who is a
regular brick. He is a worrer full of
snap and vim, and is a very valuable
acquisition. Being somewhat doubtful of
the patience of your Mr. Sfoue, the univ
ersal secretary, 1 bring this to a close.
Truly yours, Chbomo.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF ST. AN
DREW ADDRESS OF REV.
J A RVIS BUXTON, D. D
As much interest has been shown in
the subject r f this address to young men,
delivered in Trinity Church, last Friday
a week ago, and in the proposed organiz
ation of a chapter of a Brotherhood of
St. Andrew, I request the publication of
the address, that it may " be brought to
the attention of young men who were
not present, to hear it.
Jabvis Buxton,
One ereat and eood work of the dav
that is loomins up into prominence, is
the effort to interest the young men of
tne church, is the spreading of the King
dom of Christ among other young men :
to engage the enthusiasm ot their natures
in that special work; not that there are
not -otber incidental good - purposes
which an organization' of th vouthml
layrueacCihe church inav .be mac's ta
subserve (foi- there' are --other sjiobpur-
poses., as win ue seen;, Dut the en uient
arid special purpose now contemplated.
is to act upon aad influence fr good,
young men, by means of other young
men, in tne cnurch. 1 am aware that
there is an organization already in exis
tence, of largeextensioa and influence,
consisting 01 some sou associations, which
has this purpose for one of its objects,
under the name of "The Young Men's
Christian Association." This is made up
out of the union oi young men from all
the religious denominations, without dis
tinction. To this association a great
many ot our young men belong, through
out the country. It is within tbe control
of no single religi.ms denomination, be
ing entirety independent ot all. it is a
voluntary Christian Body, by itself, res
ponsible to none other. Tht only objec
tion that I have ever heard urged against
the association, is, that tho' undesigned
it serves as a quasi church to many of
its members, who in- consequence care
tor none other. How lar this be true, 1
have no means of determining. Some
tour years ago there was started in the
city ol Chicago, in St James' Church, by
12 young men, who fo:med a Sunday
School class in that chcrcb, an institu
tion called tbe 'Brotherhood of St. An
drew.' St. Andrew vou know, was that
one of the apostles of whom we have thi
record in St. John's Gospel ,:again, the
next day alter, John (the Baptizer) stood
and two of his disciples; and lookirjg
upon jesus as he walked, he saitb, lie
hold the Lamb of God. ' One of the two
which heard John speak and followed
Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's broth
er. He first findeth his own brother
Simon and bi ought him to Jesus." In
honor of this brotherly good work of St.
Andrew this institution was named the
"Brotherhood of St. Andrew" its pur
pose and object being tbe bringing of
oiner young men to Jesus, in hi church,
by young men who had first found him
themselvej. This Brotherhood, observe.
is distinctively within tbe Protestant
Episcopal Church, and works within its
lines. The position of the young men
whotarted it (who were members of-a
Hnnday School class; suggested ihe me
thod of going to work in the Brother
hood, which was to make 'The Young
Men's Bible Class,' the centre of the
work. The members of the Brother
hood, each, pledges himself to a rule of
prayer; and to a rule of service. The
rule of prayer is, Daily prayer for the
spread of Christ' Kingdom among young
men, and for God's blessing upon the
labors of the Brotherhood. The rule of
service is, an earnest effort, each- week,
to bring at least one young man to the
Bible Class or to the services of the
church. There is a ehorl form of admis
sion to tbe Brotherhood, composed of a
short prayer or two, with a few questions
and answers, made in the assumption of
the duties of membership. Those who
30 m pose the young men's Bible Class
are not necessarily members of the
Brotherhood; they may nr may not be.
as they choose; but the Bible Class is in
tended :o be, as .it is well calculated to
be, the principal feeder of membership
in the Br therhood. Any young mea of
the Bible Class may become members of
the Brotherhood who are willing to take
upon themselv s (I ) the rule of prayer.
and (2) the rule of set vice, before men
tioned. Thote two rules are the sole test
and condition of membership. Each
separate organization is ca lcd ' chapter'
of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. And
there are now about 100 chapters, with
their 2 000 young men, extending from
Maine to Oregon and from Montana to I
Georgia. Of the 62 Dioceses and Mission-1
ary Jurisdictions, it has chapters in all
but 19 It works not only in la-ge cities.
but in the villages and country districts.
It has a chapter arndtrg the Kantee In
dians; among the miners of Arizona and
among the studeBts of a time-honored
and lar-lamed university. Its young
men are all banded together by the ties
of brotherhood to spread the Kingdom of
Christ among other young men, with all
the fire of youthful enthusiasm. These
chapters are affiliated together, and have
a council of officers, an annual conven
tion composed of delegates ..from each
chapter A monthly newspaper organ,
St. Andrew's Cross, affords opportunity
of bunging all the chapters into com
munication with each other, besides
stirring up on occasion, the minds of the
brethren by way or reniemDrance. ine
paper is edited in a very interesting
uiaarer, under the auspices of the coun
cil of St. Andrew'a Brotherhood at Chi
cago. Its low terms of 25 cents a year
bring it within tbe reach ot an. -
It will be pereeivea irom what nas
bee a said that the "Bio therhood of St.
Andrew is not a club ol young men
drawn together for social purposes. Its
aim is not athletical, or musical or intel
lectual. Its members may belong to
clubs or other social organizations, but,
as members of St. Andrew's Urotherhood,
they work for a specific end of its own,
and in that line only. Its members
pledge themselves to labor for christian
izing other young men. As St, Andrew
brought Simon feter his brother to Jesus,
so the Brotherhood named alter him,
endeavors to save the brother .y - work

and works in ita lines, under its author
ities., Its fi st rule, we have seen, leads
its members to the presence of Almiebty
God every day; for it n quireB daily r-iyer
for the spread of Christ's Kingdom, in
the hearts of yonne men. Prayer then
paves the way for fulfilling the 2nd rule
of personal service in bringing or seek
ing to bring one young man. at least, to
the Bible Class or the church service
every week. Such is the frame work of
the movement, which keeps its spiritual
end and Intent in the forefront by pres
cribing prayer aad personal service to
young men in behalf of others, young as
themselves, and persistence in which will
make tbem the kind of men the church
most needs, men of positive religious
character, jealous and bold and tz
si ve againet the powers of evil. The idea
of this Brotherhood has in it the promise

says Bishop McLaren, of Illinois, snch as
many have never seen or hoped ta see
in these our days. Its direct tendency
anu pruvea euect, is to. interest ana stim

pathies of a common youth, and by the
strengtn ana entnusiasm natural to a
widely-extended association, having a
noble object continually in view. It may
be interesting to bear what have been
the results of the working of the Brother
hood in the Parish of St. James, Chicago,
wnere it originated, l ouote from the
last report of its chapter: "St James
cnurcn has been an old, staid and very
respectable, not to say aristocratic Parish,
not bursting with missionary zeal and
rather exclusive. Its location is outside
of the ordinary beat of yonng men that
is, nyt manv pass by on a Sunday Dimm
ing, and' accidentally drop in. Anionic
direct results in this Pariah, about 40
men, first brought, in by the Brother
hood, have, been confirmed, and have
openiy acimowieagea that - they are
Christ's soldiers .and servants. About

oi oil, ol whom lb have removed and 7
resigned. Bv theselforts of those who
ha e removed to other cities or parishes.
4 branches of the Brothei hood have been
organized and work of a similar nature
started in one cr two other branches.
The spiritual life of the memb ic
has been greatly deepened and
strengthened by use and exercue, by the
manilest answers of uod to prayer, and
by his equally iuanifeit recognition of.
and ilessing upon, our faulty aud too
often faithless service. The attendance
of young men, at service, has steadily
increased until it now averages 100. Our
seats are all full, and any Sunday morn
ing may be seen 40 or 50 young men sit
ting together in solid phalanx, worship
ing God aud singing his praise, shoulder
to shoulder. Among indirect results in
the Parish, a general impression has
been created among the 1000 young men
who live within a radious of a half a mi'e
of the church, that the church and its r
ligion have something to do with their
every day liie and welfare, and are not
reserved for Sundays, middle-aged men
and women lolk.
Had we time, we might mote the tes
timony of different clergymen of Chita
go and other cities, as to the result of the
laburs of the congregations all showing
marked growth in npiritual hie, and in
crease of interest in attendance at church,
a'uong young men. But the tes testimo
ny which seta the seal of aoproval of the
church upon this insitution, we quote
from the report of the committee on the
state of the church maie to the last
Genetal Convention: "The biotherhood
of St. Andrew, inaugurated in the city of
Chicago in not quite 3 years ago,
has already become a prominent agency
for the extenskn of Christ's k:ngdom
among young roen. It meets a want
universally acknowledged, this it two
features of piayer and personal serice
among young men. When the Laity iu
general, men as wel' as women, are im
bued with the like spirit of persona! re
sponsibility and personal exertion, the
day will be hastened when multitudes
sdall be brought to . the knowledge and
obedience of the truth."
But tbe young men who compose the
brotherhood are utilized by tbe author
ities of their Parishes for various other
purposes beside its main one. Among
these may be named, the acting of ush
ers at all services, welcoming strangers,
showing them seats, providing them
with praver books and hymnals if nec
essary; taking up the ofierings in the
churcn, on accasien of any service held
in the cause of tbe Brotherhood; the
decorous discharge of all which public
offices in the congregation exerts a
most happy effect upon the nvnds of
young men to see young men of their
own age, taking part in the affairs of the
church.
Such is an account of the organizations
called the Krotherhood of St Andrew,
charter of which vour ministergreatly
desiies to see started among the young
men of the Parish, the first in the Dio
cese, that I am aware of.
The proc -ss ot agnizing a chapter is
very simple. . Ihe minister starts a
Bible class for young" men, conducted
either by hiins-slf jr some competent
Layman. As many ot these as will
agree to pray daily for the spread of
Christ's kingdom among young men, ard
to make an earnest enort to bring at
least one yonng man, to the Bible class
or to the church seivice may form a
chapter. Ifeventuoor three only so
so etree, that is ah tbe condition pre
scribed for constituting a chapter of
course the more the better, These are
admitted to membership by a short
form or ceremony. They adopt the
constitution of the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew consisting of 5 articles, and
framed their own by-laws. This quali
fies the chapter for actual union with
the General Brotherhood and entitles it
to representation in its conventions.
The chapter is thenceforth in full work
ing order.
I commend this subject to the earnest
consideration of our christian young
men and solicit their interest in it.

(14th April) I invite pou to join a Bible
class to meet weekly at this church;

A Discouraging Statement.
A Paris cable dispatch says; Dr.
Oscar Denz, who has just returned
from a prolonged tour of exploration
in Africa, undertaken on behali ot
the King of the Belgians, has inn
eluded in his report to the latter
some very interesting remarks con
cerning missionary work in Africa.
They are, however, far from encour
aging. He renders lull justice to
the good intentions of the mission
aries and to the motives which im
pel the Scottish and London eocie- '
ties to send them out. but he asserts -
that they wtste large sums of money
for very small rtsults. Negroes who
are taught by theem to read and
write mostly become unfit tor any
manual occupation. They consider
themselves us good ai the white
man, think it undignified to toil.
and when not engaged in hoMinsr
large and noisy prayer-meetings, at
which ever man wantito hte his- ;
turn at preaching, they foam about -
begging, and take it verv ill if thev -
cannot live altogther on doles from
their white lellow-Christians. ' The
Eurepean factor ie have learned to
beware of these men. and. will not
give them employment. So mnet
of them end by relapsing into bar
barism and vagabondaee. their last
state being worse than their first, as "

A White Man Killed by a Negro.
We learn that a white man named
Phillips, from Haywood, who is
said to have been somewhat crazy,
was killed in Jackson a few days
since!under the following circum
stances: He went to a negro shanty
a id the inmates became frightened:.
He subsequently went to Mr. Jno.
Phillips and asked to spend the
n ght. He waB given suppeTrbut
Mr. Presley did not like to let him
stay all night, and walked with him
a short distance to show him
the way he desired to go. The par
ty was overtaken by Adam Bryson '
an i another negro, who had been at
the- house previouslv visited by
Phillips, when the two negroes as
saulted Phillips with a stick, ai d
Adam Uryson finally shot him
through the breast, from which shot
the unfortunate man subsequently
died. The shooting is considered to
have been without provocation, and
both negroes have been lodged in
the jail at Webster.
