And I have no doubt he wilt find enough fooliuh peo pie who will believe hi Ule and con,, tribute to his wauts, and t-." scoundrel will make more out of it than be ever possessed in his life. . When : the truth is he ought to h ive been made to run the gauntlet and every man in Durham, both white and black, should have had a kcoJ fair, two-handed lick at him, No sir, be wg nevi r mplest ed for being a R- publican, aud a Yankee. There are other Yankees here aod many Rood Republicans, who will fpend their lives here in peace nd quiet. T he wriVr hereof is what is termed a Yankee, if four yean in the Union Arwr, and forty years of bis life spent in the northern, States will make one. . I have been five years in Virginia, acd N. C three of which have been i-pent in the city f Dur uhiii. I am n Architect by profjs fcion, and cme here a pi rf.-ct str nger I have never disguis d ti e fact of be ing a Union soldier, baton the ow trury have spoken of it freely to all men, and as good friends as I ever ud are the old Confedentte soldiers with whom I frequently talk of war limes, and let me tell you, they are just as loyal to this government, and would respond as quickly to a e ill, (should an emergency arise) made by the n- xi Prefciduut f r men to bear arms sgaiust any nation on earth as your men of Maine or Minnesota, and should I wth t enroll my name ss a soldiue, 1 would do so ju-tas quickly under the gallant gray haired Webb, of the old Cth N. (J. Regiment as any m in' on eart t, and if I were to lea 1 a regiment, I would want no better, meo, more true tn4 Jy ! thaw those living here in Durhnm, in fact the woods ta full of them. The old Uuion soldiers and north ern men who are living in the south and know the people as they really are, are-thoroughly. disgusted win such filly nonsense as ta raised in the North over just such men as this Jor. inn. They are anxious to have gd men come h re, and m ike their homes ti ere, regardless of wbera tbev come from; let them be Republicans, Dem ocrats or Prohibition men. Th question of how I would vote has nev er been aM me yet by any oaa in n. Lh, in uct. yon you can vote here or express your political opinions just as freely as any place on earth, so far as l hive seen, and 1 nave traveled over the htate to o iile an extent Souie of the busiuos men of - Rakish have requested me to come tfn re to live, a number of meo from Chtrlot'c.

Own. .- , ' From our EeguUr CorrMpoadent. Washinoton, Nov. 19 Now! is the winter of Democratic discontent, and the few, very few that President Cleveland has appointed to office here ta Wasbington, are gloomily await ing tho fourth of March and the official axe. Four years ago, when it became evident;ihat the Democratic president would not turn the rascals out, I wrote the?e words. The gen eral who makes battle with an army composed of traitors will 1 shot in the back, ana he deserves his fate. Now this is pr( istjy what has hap peued to Mr. Cbveland. This is one of the causes of his taking off If it wee only '.the taking off of aa individual it would not matter much, but the Democratic Party, through no fault of its own, is doomed to four years of dirty eclipse. It was amusing to go turoueb the Government office here immodi&tcly after the election, and ttudy the faces of the many republican clerks in con trast withiilie faces of the spnukliug of democrats who have in totn i mvst. terious way gotten into office.' The former were trying to look lugubrious at the defe it ot their friend, the enemy, while tUe latter were smiling desperately at lueir own uner. High comedy has furnished few things bet ter to the in'iincreut on-looker, but behind it all was that terriblest of tragedies, the battle of life, in which not tbe fit, but only the fittest survive. Among democratic politicians here aud else bore, the cursing ia both loud and deep. Mr. Cleveland has received something like a ton of matl den lut'cing him for Lis lack of polit ical common- seJfj, for his obtincy against advice, in short for his failure to hold the fort. Those' who sent and are snling these letters may ts well know that the president never sees them. He has several clerks t hose business is to select and burn all stich letters It Is too early to t ilk about 1832, but many democrats here, io an 1 out ! office, are talkiug about it, aud the diift of their la k or I mkut Bay their feeling i that' while Mugwam-. pry is dead, Democracy is tinmortal, and that no temporaiy defeat, much less a betrayal, can am at her it) eter nal fire, or deracinate its loye from the human heart,. It lived tLrjugn lght years of tbe despotism ol Gram; four years of the usurpation of Hayes wuh Its sequel of Oat held, and fonr yeais more of victory without its fruit. - It can cert duly survive this ga!vi;n:xatioii of republicanism. it seems to be accepted us a fact am ng Mr. Rhine's friends here, that he should be made eith.r Secretary ot 3: ate of Mioi-ter to England. No one doubts that he c mid b ve either pmition, but it is a mooted question woetuer be would accept. ro ere. fence is ctveo to the renort that he would like to succeed Senator Frye There is an impression here that Mr. Blaine would prefer to rem sin out of the CVdnet, but as the Iti ler of hU : nartr. batin a ootent voire in mak ing up the Cabinet'anJ distributing tu- offices. It 1 nudt Tdtan 1 here that Mr. Blaine will live ia fVa hingtou nextwiuter. - , - It 'u U llcved that Senator Stun ford of California will h ue i Cabinet nominal ion His su!win io 1 to the republic n campaign fu-'d -vas enor moo-, snipenil mi, big.

Under the caption "Dishonorable Appeals to Sectionalism" the Pravj dence Journal admininteri a scathing rebuke to the Hartford Courant and the other northern papers which have made the case of Eidridge Jouidan the occasion for pouring their vials of vituperation upon the South. Jordan was forced to leave Durham, N. C, for conduct which in a western town would have cost him his n-ck. Considering all the circumstances, which were truttrfully detailed at the time by our Raleigh compondent, the people of Durham treated Lim very mildly. He had been au agita tor in North Carolina for some time, and the principal charge against biro at Durham was that of inciting per sons to what is a cipitl cri.no iu the Old North State. J rdtn went North, misrepresented th facts en tirelv, posed as a political martyr, and imnudiate.y the sluice-at'S of Republican abuse a. d faU.hool treie opened. TI13 Journal, ater referr ing in general U rna to the tr uspar eiit eagerness of ti.e orjrii.a to make out an outrage where mere has b . t o no ou traces, dev i tu par icula a leu tion.to the Couraii', as follows: The motive m inn ia perteetly plain Roal'z'mg ntll thar. cect.onal prejudioes could be kept even in a low 8' ate of I t bv wnoliy unwarran table app als. the Courant, wilfully overlooking tli4 improbabiiities ou tbe face of Juirlaus t"Y, does lis orst in feedivg a sentiment in the North which in the minds of every reusable person is a sin against a thoroughly reunite-l nation. ' I be Journal then declares- that Jnuntatn was not theoutrtgi'd l)titth outrager, that his "ew'ape was the only relief from the law," and adds ''Outrages against the t-utTrage i i the South there ure and they are to he rebuked heartily, and outrages against the suffrage in the N-rth there are and they, too, should be rebuked heartily, but it mast b1) submitted that the dishonest use of every scrap of intel (jence of sonth -rn outrages that is brou lit North by per-ons whose r&tp'jnuibiutirs is ques'iw.able on the face is not a cnditabl-i liti csl appeal to tho seuae and iuteili genoe of northern p!ople." the journal grows iu pitnotu n. fairnes', aud magnanimity, and c hi tinuea to hew to the line ot t uth and justice it marked out when it became convinced that the South bad ten maligned.

Tb SiiiiircHt, MoKt Uuxiness Like Seriea of Failures in the Wliolo Record of AMHlgn . nienta". Wllnilngtoa Meaatagxr. There bas not occurred in the busi ness history of the State a financial failure of such general interest to nsm a nl North I nrr.lina aathA Klae 11 week. It appears to have been the sqa est, most business-like series failures in tbe whole record tignments. Every man involved i-quare to tbe front, made plain statements, and uoreeor down every dollar he had in tb for division-ainong the credit' all tne advertising Durham this is the best and will do most goo I. It will prove est lav in her history. It a reputation uud charar commercial and financial many times the dollars i) Oi Durham as a town, it ought to be said she is the pride of the State. The r.ania of Durham has gone furs ther into the rem ite corners ot the earth than thaijof any town or city in be United State ; and even beyond that or the United State. It baa car ries wit 1 it tho name of North Caro I'na, and has advertised the State throughout the world. The advantage 'hat Durham has been to North Car olina cannot be approxinalely esti mated. It is beyond ascertainment, and is daily growing and extending. It is a town, with its industries and enterprise!), in which every citizen cf tbe htate is bound to feel an interest in proportion to bis regard to the State, or the pnblio welcome of our piople. The figure 'that led in the Durham failure is a colossal one. William T. Blackwell is a greater than tbe con querur of the nation. He founded and largely built this unique city; and ha began it not with money, . but . with nerve, energy and industry... Follow ing in the way he blared out, there were hundreds of tbe same push and restless energy ss the old founder, and thay have all united to give the town a magical growth and pheuominal success. Durham will in no-wise suffer from this temporary erab rrassmentof some of her business men. Tbe business aud credit of the place is not affected. They will all be on their teet again, aud whatever momentary set back, there will be a quicker compensating movement forward. People of the pluck and energy ot Du rham men do not halt at slight ob stacles. Where there ia so much busiue-s. activity and capital, and such faith in themselves and their town, a thirg like this Is nothing mora than a storm ot the evening before, While we fet l the deepest interest in f e welfare of all concerned, and re grct uny lo t or inconvenience tbey may, any ot ttu-tn, eustam, we really feel more like congratulating than commiserating the community, for we ruiy beueve that it is socn a failure as rttlecta credit end honor npon those involved, and strengthens the business character and reputation of tba town Liurbam. True Principle. aibmrlltoCltiua. The Durham and other papers speak in high terms of the fortitude and unity of purpose of the cit;zen of that town under the trying finan cial diturbaocts which have just visited it. Tbe people have shown 1 hoy appreciate the true principle which should govern a commnoity. It is easy for a community to rtand an l work together in days of pros peritv; but it ia when adversity comes that brings o it the true grit and pat riotism oi a people. The business com munity ol Durham bas acted nobly. Instead of rushing in pell'mell to grab, they have united to sustain and upbuild. They have thus shown thehf confidence in their comoiuoiy and in themselves which is inspiring, so much inspiring, that other and out iidt- parties have tendered all the capital which may be needed to main lain the energy and success of tho place. Well done, Durh mi! May je g ou to even greater achievements. The Kiiftlgu W ins the Suit. WAsnixuToX, D. C Not 19.
