- i 'A' it? t The Democrat! CHARLOTTE, N. iC. APRIL 15, 18Sli New York Correspondence of the Democrat. New- York," April' 11 188t.O Editor Democrat : Having occasion to cross the East River on Saturday afternoon I was surprised-to uee that the i laying f the Railroad track of the bridge has. been com menced, about 150 feet at .each' pier being laid. 1 This looks like an approach to the completion of this great work. The track, which is in sections, is held up by what looks to me slight wire, ropes from the great cable of wires high up in the air. The masonry of the line on each side of the River, perhaps a fourth of a mile on each side, is about finished," and is a magnificent, work, worth a stranger's while to go down to "the swamp" to see. The expenditure upon the bridge so far is a little short of thirteen mil lions of dollars. The occasion for my crossing the River was, that I might; go to Greenwood. A North Carolina friend had written to me to select a monument for a child one which lived but twenty days in this world of trial and suffering and at tthe entrance to Green wood there aire any number of marble-yards where hundredsj if not thousands, of monu-; ments are always to be found, only awaiting the inscriptions which' loving friends may wish to put on them in testimony of their regard for the "loved and lost." I had no difficulty in finding such an one as my friend described. But whilst walking through the rows of monuments I was struck with the beauty of the sentiment already inscribed upon one intended for a child : "How many cherished hoDes lie buried here !" Such a wail could only come from the depths of a rioront'o Vioort Mho will liavo tn wait, rtfl- VUW B V. WUU If... MOT.

A list of the Grand Jury of one of .the many Courts here is published, and it being a very important body, inasmuch as it is expected to indict the officials for not clean in? the streets, the names and residences and occupations of its members are publish ed. There are twenty-two of them, and out of all of them only four are recorded as "gentlemen," a designation which I suppose each gave for himself. The others are mer chants, brokers, printers, grocers, jewellers, and even an undertaker, who are, of course, by inference, not gentlemen. But what is a gentleman ? How many kinds of gentlemen are there ? And to what class or classes of gentlemen do these four belong ? We all know the vast difference between "an Irish gentleman and the gentleman from Ireland." The former has no superior as a gentleman, whilst the latter does not always have an inferior. All Congressmen are gentlemen by courtesy being always addressed as "the gentleman from New York," "the gen tleman from Illinois," and so on. But some of them have unfortunate ways of manifest ing their gentility. And it is quite possible that some of these four may be gentlemen Who follow a disreputable calling, such as gambling, and when required to state their occupation, tell back upon the very conve nient and unmeaning one in these days of "gentleman." President Garfield gets many hard knocks from his party friends and papers. I copy the following one of them from the most re spectable of his party papers the Nation for the sake of its deserved compliment to Mr. Phillips, of North Carolina : "In the solicitor-generalship there' was an able and competent lawyer, Mr. Philips of such stand ing as to be talked of for the bench of the Supreme Court. He has been dismissed, as far as one can see, slely for the purpose of making way for Mr. William E. Chandler, to oblige Mr. Blaine. Mr. Chandler is only a lawyer in name. He is really a claim-agent and lobbyist, and a notorious intriguer and wirepuller. Moreover, he was nominated to the place without the knowledge or consent of his superior, the Attorney-General, Mr. Wayne Mac Veagh, who is naturally so much chagrined, first by Chandler per ee, and then by the manner of Chan dlers, selection, that he will resign if he is confirm ed. So here is a world of humanly speaking wholly unnecessary trouble created by making a Vacancy in an important legal office to accommo date a man who has no professional standing." It is a melancholy fact that the appoint ment to the most important office in North Carolina, that of Postmaster at Raleigh, has been controlled by Tourgee, the lying carpet-bagger, who is not in any way connect ed with that State except by the money he makes by slandering her. And his argu ment with Garfield to induce the withdrawal of the nomination of Holden, that "it would break up the Grant gang !" "What a con sideration to address to a President of the United States ! The brokers in Wall street must be mak ing a good thing in humbugging the public on North Carolina Special Tax Bonds, which have run up to 10 cents on the dollar.

But see here now. Mrs Beasley is in Philadelphia, and has already been interviewed by one of the city papers, though she was averse to getting in print, and they speak of her as a Philadelphia lady. She didn't tell she was from North Carolina, for the little woman was born at Hoosier Town, near Winston ; her maiden name we think was Hoosier. She has in vented a life saving raft for saving lives at sea that has been adopted by the Govern ment over hundreds of similar inventions. She has also invented a merchant's tag that one firm in Philadelphia made a contract for thirty-five thousand, and she has in vented an attachment for sewing machines for making complete button holes and smoothing the rough places. She told Dr. Smith of this town, who went to see her when in Philadelphia, that a merchant Showed her what was defiripnt. in tho Vmt- ton holes and she at once told him she cnnld invent such an attachment and went to work and did so, and on this slight inven tion a stock company was at once formed, Mrs Beaslev beinsr allowed so mneb inter est.

Russakoff spoke for half an hour. He said he primarily desired to agUate eacefully br but entered into the conspiracy seeing no other way out of the social troubles, " Mich ailoff,j who was arrested as he entered . Rus sakolFs house, said he belonged to the ter rorist faction of the party, but denied Rus sakoff's statement that he participated in the arrangements for the murder of the Czar. Hessy Helfmann acknowledged that she kept the conspirators' lodging-house, which was the depot for their implements, but denied having actively participated in the Czar's assassination. Kibaltschitisch,the bomb maker, avowed his connection with the Will of the People party, their design, he said, being to gain their objects by a peaceful propaganda, bnt they were reluc tantly obliged to adopt terrorist" measures. He admitted preparing five bombs. Sophie Pieoffsky avowed her participation in the preparation of Moscow mine and the murder of the Czar. Jeliiboff, who is the most in telligent ot the . prisoners, i fluently related with diabolic satisfaction the history of the two Alexandrofsky mines. "He said he was the head of one group of the party and was charged by the executive committee with the work of organizing the attack by bombs, and was connected with the Sadowa street mine as a simple worker. ) In the centre of the court room were va rious articles of tangible evidence against the prisoners, such as boxes of dynamite, papers of chemicals and apparatus, placed on a table and guarded by a gendarme with a drawn sword. The prisoners were all at tired in black. . Great excitement was caused by the pro duction of two bombs similar to those which killed the Emperor. General Feo dorf, in explaining their mechanism and composition, was cross examined by Ki baltschitisch, who made them. All the pris oners were sentenced to be hanged. The Chio Earthquake. The London Times correspondent at Chio, under date of the 7th inst., writes as fol lows: "I have just arrived here from Con stantinople. I find a picture of desolation such as is rarely witnessed. The town looks as if it had been terribly bombarded; hundreds of houses are transformed into shapeless masses of ruins, nnder which lie buried an unknown number of victims. The majority of the remaining houses are al ready crooked and roofless, and may fall at any moment. Nearly every bnilding in town has sunered more or less. The mha bitants wander about anxious to search for missing relatives or lost property, but are afraid to risk their lives in the perilous work of clearing away the rubbish. Many who are wining to expose themselves to danger are prevented by friends or police, t ear, gnel and danger are depicted on every face. All have some sad or tragic tale to tell. The first shock was felt on Sunday after noon, at about half-past 1 o'clock. Imme diately the houses began to fall and' wild shrieks were heard on every side. Then followed an awful silence of some minutes. The terrified survivors gradually ventured into the narrow lanes and reached the open spaces. Shortly afterward another terrific shock completed the devastation. Then it remained quiet until sunset when it again began as severely as before. All night the shocks succeeded each other at short inter vals, and each one was preceeded by dull sounds like subterranean explosions. Since that night frequent shocks have been felt. A few minntes ago while writing the pre sent dispatch, I distinctly heard an explosion-like sound and felt the earth tremble. Every night since Sunday frequent shocks have been felt. Nearly all prefer to camp out, and as the weather is fine, the hard ship in this respect is not great, It is said that throughout the district not less than 30,000 people are without shelter. In Kas tro the work of extricating bodies and at tending to the wounded is progressing sat isfactorily, but the stifling odor in the vicin ity of many of the ruins shows that the for mer operation is far from complete. Some wonderful escapes have occurred, one wo man was buried nnder the ruin for fifty-two hours and at last was rescued having given birth in the meanwhile to a child. It is now believed that throughout the whole island, which contained 70,000 inha bitants, 6,000 or 7,000 were killed, and twenty-five per cent, of the survivors were wounded. The French, British, United States and Austrian gun-vessels in the hor bor are doing all in their power to assist the authorities in the work of relief. When the first shock of the earthquake was felt the people of Chio, terrified beyond description, ran from their houses and sought refuge in more open places in the town, but the shock was so violent that multitudes were unable to shun the falling walls of the buildings and were buried beneath the debris. The water in the harbor for a little time sank so low as almost to show the bottom and then returned with great violence, overwhelming the town in the vicinity of the shore. The entire island felt the earthquake more or less, and much damage is believed to have been done in inland villages. Ohio before the Samian revolt was very prosperous, as it is one of the riches and most beautiful islands in the Levant, but is now less prosperous. ln8,tr.S."SeMte. ill iirrT'l the penate, om the 7jLhi instant, the the election of ' Sen pending resolution foi ate, officers was? then taken up. vand a mo- tion made to galnto executive session by Mr. Pendleton was as usual voted down ypas 29, nays 30. Mr. V ance addressed the benate on tne jsuBject of the Staltf 'debt 'of rN6fth"Croll nat denying thatf the debt? hid1 eVer-Wefo by ATXegtslature oftEiT State after the war had' been one providing for the payment of its indebtedness, .Under the force of the reconstruction acts, for the first time in the history of North Carolina, she bad loupd -beraeli compelled to t repudi ate certain obligations. That she bad to do at the dictation of the loyal, non-repudiating, honest and virtuous' Republican, party of the North-; It 'was not a voluntary action of the people of North Carolina. r- He - pro ceeded to criticise and ridicule the acts of the Republican Legislature -during - the years of 1868 and 1869, ; instancing the fact among others' that that Legislature, had purchased eight thousand acres of land for a site for a ; penitentiary. ' It had 1 author ized the Issue of $22,000,000 bonds for the purpose of constructing railroads, not one of which had been built, and bad then passed an act repudiating every : dollar of debts which it had 'contracted. From 'the day that the citizens of North Carolina T had re ceived control of the State, instead of try ing-to pay the debt created by the carpet baggers and placed upon them in a fradalent manner, they had resolutely ; turned their backs upon it.' They never would try to pay it. It was' fradulentj vicious not a debt in any 'sense of the word. ' The Re publican side, he said coming down to the question of the election of Senate officers, had enquired why the Democrats would not vote for Riddleberger. That was shift ing the issue. ' The question, was, how could gentlemen on the other side support- him? He was a rebel an unrepentant rebel, a Democrat an unrepetant Democrat; a Re adjuster an unrepentant Readjustee How could they forcrive him? What was the ob ject for their supporting him? He (Vance) objected to voting for any man who called himself a Democrat who had a surname be fore the word ' Democrat. ' He :obiected to the manner in which the Republican party had undertaken to foist this candidate Upon the Senate, because it was in defiance of the whole plan of political salvation. Riddle berger had been taken up in his sins, unre- entant and unshaven, and had been trans ated into '. the heaven of Republicanism without having tasted ;,death. Laughter The Senator lrom Connecticut (Hawley) had stated that this movement was going to break up the solid South. It reminded him of the story of the boy whose dog Tige had died, and who "bet that the angels would be scared when they saw Tige trotting through the front gate." The solid South was to be broken up -when Tige came trot ting through the front gate. Laughter Had so great an undertaking ever been- in augurated by such small means? Did any body ever before hear a party announce ex tremities to which it was reduced when it relied for success on an alliance with the Senator from Virginia and the election of Riddleberger to the office of sergeant-at-arms? Instead of the movement being, as was stated, an alliance to promote the puri ty of the ballot-box, it was, he said, 'at tempted once more to subject the people of the South, who had been free long enough to gather a little money, to the do- minior of carpet-bag rule . in order that their little savings might be swept away. Kellogg followed, on the subject oi .the North Carolina debt, asserting that since the State had been under the control of the Democrats, the debt had been scaled down from $26,000,000 to $4,000,000, a repudia tion of $22,000,000. . A long discussion ensued, the North Car olina Senators answering Kellogg's charges, and denying that the State had repu diated any of its honest obligations. Mr Ransom called attention to the fact that the North Carolina 4 per cent, bonds were quoted at 85 cents, and appealing to Sher man obtained from him the admission that that was a fair price : for the : 4 per cent. State bonds. Ransom then argued that as North Carolina bonds sold as high as any other State bonds, it would not do to say her name was discredited. He asserted that the settlement of the State debt was satisfactory to the creditors, ' and that it was an honest settlement. , -. Mr. Rollins, referring to a remark f- by Vance about carpet-baggers, inquired how long it was necessary for a man to live in a Southern State before he would be recog nized as anything but a carpet-bagger. Vance replied that if he came with his trunk twenty-four hours would do, but if he came with his carpet-bag, and hunted around the purlieus of cities looking for a colored man to co-operate with him in cheat ing people, twenty-four years . would not do. Rollins said that the gentlemen on the other side were shocked at the idea that the Republicans would dare to give a vote for a Readjuster in Virginia who was with them on a question of a free vote and an honest count. Vance What difference is there between counting a man out of his vote and out of his money? Rollins You have tried both, and ought to be able to answer that question yourself. Laughter. Vance 1 have not tried both. I have not tried either, and the Senator knows that I have not tried either. My State has not tried either. The assertion was witty but it liked truth. A coloquial debate then followed, some what sharp at times between VanceDawes, Rollins and Saulsbury. ; vr ;- Mr. Call challenged any Republican Sena tor to produce evidence to prove that there had been either intolerance, ostracism or violence of any kind on account of political elections in any Southern state, lie then went into an exhaustive history of the car pet-baggers, dwelling at some length upon the corruptions and infamy . which he found had characterized those governments. He was frequently interrupted by Blair, who asserted that the carpet-baggers had assist ed materially the prosperity of the ' South. He denied that the right of suffrage was re stricted in the South, and criticised, with great earnestness, the laws which, in Mas s 3ffLSU, sachusetts, diA restrict that right. Healsd charged f hat many voters in tnat state nave een deprived; of a free ballot by the influ fcneeW tobriflv and bv the influence of cor-s orations. &?S This brought Dawes and Hoar to their feet, in an emphatic denial of any such state of facts. r """""" : " , Alpog discussion ensued.

The discussion has been continued every day,1 the'Democrats carrying the V ar;(facts) heavily against' the Republican rants.' On Tuesday, last-Mr. Beck of Kentucky spoke in substance as follows:- ,!, m;T. -The Republicans had said that the Senate should not go into executive session because theyiiattiaeterMinTd now holding places andiirtsiiJllQtlirs, and that the Democrats) were guilty of treason and revolution, unless they acquiesced ; in everything.! 'The:Democrat8 had replied: You have organized the Senate you have power over all the 'cornmitttes jf1 we .have surrendered "everything that tends to the convenience and comfort of. Senators, but when you present to us a list of names for o&cersj and among them that of a man from Virginia who was the head and front of re pudiation in that State, we' do not propose to go any further.- He was not i going to say that the Republicans were doing this because of a corrupt bargain,' but the coun try at large had,. strong suspicions that the alliance was a foul one. The leading Re publican press of the country had charged it in terms so offensive that when Senator Voorhees had had ah extract from a'Repub lican paper read, the danger of personal re sponsibility had beed threatened. He re ferred to the facts which tended to show that there had been a bargain, emphasizing the fact that Mahone had been placed at the corners which would give him the great est influence with the people of Virginia. Whether the action of the Democrats was revolutionary or not' depended upon this fact : if they believed that the Republicans had entered into .' a corrupt bargain, and were seeking to carry it out, ought not the Democrats to resist the consummation of that bargain by every means, in their power? Could anything be -more dangerous than legislation organized by corrupt ion ? Were the Democrats not right in assuming that the bargain was a corrupt one? If so, they could go before any community in America and say that they had prevented the con summation of that bargain, and the answer would be, ?well done thou good and faith ful servant," and if they had not done right they would be held , responsible. They would take that risk on the facts and would discuss them with the Republicans any where, in Virginia or elsewhere. ? At the conclusion of Mr. Beck's remarks, Mr. Pugh of Alabama, took the floor and stated that his objection to the pending res olution was because of his belief that it had its origin in a coalition of questional origin. If the Democratic Senators were to submit to the adoption of the resolution in face of the announcement that the patronage of the Senate was to be used to dissolve the solid South, they would dishonor themselves and forfeit the respect and confidence of their constituents. This attempt to destroy the solid South would only crystalize its solidity by purging it of traitors to race and party, and make it eager to frustrate such plans and disappoint such expectations. The solid South could never be disintegra ted by any movement or policy founded on distrust and hatred of the whites and an in tent to make the negro the dominant race in that section. r ? -rt , .. r., Several other Democratic Senators have spoken, expressing a determination never to permit Mahone and his friends to. be awarded the offices promised them by the Republicans: w f Bottom Struck.
