No period, however long, can blot out the recollection of the eon, or (father, or, brother who gave his life for' a principle: that men have held precious since the firBt or ganization of society. ; Nor1 can the virtues of the Confederate soldier, th& valor, fortitude, courage, sublime Le or JacksW or any other of the Southern leaders ever cease to shine with a' light that has made all the world, wonder. The fame cf thl gray-jacket is- secure, and he who fell while battling under the banner of the Confederacy is a hero and a 'martyr indeed. W e remember tho Confederate dead asour very own, and so the duty which "Old Mortality" assumed and which has fallen to our lot with refer ence to them has evep been cheer-' fujjy performed, though with soirow, that time mitigates, to be sure, but that can never be wholly lifted from' thet heart. JVe should not. falter in the enno bling work. We should take care ever to keep fresh " the laurel cn the graves of our sleeping heroes. This is fcli we can do for them now. ;This is 11 we can do for the noble father or husband, the precious boy, who went; frm us to fight for his country, literally as he believed and as. was the fact, and was brougm back to us a corpse or to die, or. was killed and buried cn the battlefield. jj"We are led in tcwork , of pre serving his memory by the-faitufnl women of our land and surelv there VWM never such leadership, so gentle, ac) . intelligent, so full of all that raises taan to a higher plane of be va$ than his unassisted nature is capable of reaching. We cannot ao better, we may be sure, than follow the suggestions the Ladies' .Memorial Association makes to ub this day. Let uej, one and all, go with these ladies to the city of the dead acd perform the duty of which they re mind us. Let us lend them all pos sible support and to the last man aid them in the gentle offices they devine and perform with such touching self sacrifice, such delicacy, zeal and ten derness. So will we honor our selves in honoring the memory of those who laid down their lives for the Southland. Those men went forth to their stern duty with cheerfulness. We should fall far sjiort of that appreciation which, we regard as necessary to the nfanly character were we to fail in the due performance of the duty we now owe them. Let the ladies of the Memo rial Association feel that they have the full sympathy and support of the entire community. Let the wheels of trniln And nmmerce and the : other Rdrdinery avocations of life be stopped rpr a oriel noor tma aiternoon ana let that hour be given to the memory ot the Confederate dead. 1 4 MATTERS AND THINGS. j The intelligent Raleigh correspond ent of the Durham Recorder writes to that paper: I "The assault on Judge Fowle in the Statesvile Landmark was writ ten in this city." : We take the above as an illustra tion of how wide of the mark people sometimes, get on the subject of communications." ' The correspond ent of our Durham contemporary Was doubtless firmly impressed with the idea that the letter referred to was written in Raleigh, just as a whole lot of other mistaken persons 'entertain the notion that the commu nications appearing in the News and Odsxbveb are written in Raleigh and perhaps sent away to be mailed back to the News and Obsebvkb a most I preposterous and ridiculous notion, fit is now well understood that the Statesville letter, supposed to have been written in Raleigh and sent to Statesville for publication, was writ ten by a gentleman at Statesville. We suppose that the correspondent of the Recorder will himself agree in view of the known authorship of the letter that the suggestion about the letter being written in Raleigh falls to ,the ground, and as the supposi tion made as to that is thus shown to be unfounded, so in like manner such suggestions in regard to the commu nications in the News and Observes are equally bo. And while on this subject we re peat what we have heretofore said, that all communications favoring can didates received by us are treated in the same way. We areas kind and con siderate as to one as to another. We have not desired to show any prefer ence for any candidate. If j we have printed more letters favoring tne than another it is because we have received more. Indeed we have been threatened by subscribers "with stopping their paper' for not printing their commu nications for Judge Fowle, for whom therearequite a number unpub lished. v : And we may also say that the Re view did us palpable injustice in its article on "lialeigh Mathematics" by Seeking to make it appear that our article a month ago was cast in the Interest of some particular candidate, and in its effort to do thit suppress ing a part of the figures as well as the only comment we mads on them. Asa matter of fact the figures then printed left the subject in a state of most glorious uncertainty and so it remains, as far as we can see, to this day. And so it seems to be likely to remain until the convention . assembles- The News and Obsebveb does not wish to be understood by any candidate or by the publio as being for or against any particular candi date. It is fair and just and kind to all and proposes to be in a .position to give to whoever may be nominated the most cordial and enthusiastic support. The Review in its artio'e seemed to indicate that there were only two candidates to bs considered. Our article on which it commented showed that there was a third candidate, at least, and possibly more to be consid ered in that connection. FOR CONGRESS. THOS. B WOltACK. ESQ . OF CH1TH1V. C jr.,ot Uie News and Observer. The subscriber has noticed the name of Thomas B. Womack men tioned as a probable candidate for nomination for Congress upon the Democratic ticket. The suggestion is opportune. No man in the district can discount him in fealty to the Democratic party, and in devotion to the interests of the psopte who compose it. As a whole souled man he is known throughout the State. As a thorough Democrat he has been known in the halls of the legislature and certainly known by the votes of his Senatorial district. No charge at all damaging can be made against him. He is a pure man and one who would bear aloft tho banner of Democracy, serenely con scious that he has nothing to re proach himself with. Nominate nim and the district is redeemed. W. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. Cor. ol the News and Observer. GaixasBOBO, N. C, May 9. The Grand Lodge I. O. O.

Faietteviale, N. C, April 23. The Democratic party should go slow in the selection of a candidate for Governor of North Carolina a mistake in the beginning, by the selection of the wrong man to lead us, would be fatal to our every hope, and plunge this State into the wreck and ruin of radicalism for years to come. It is far easier to hold on to ground now secured than to have to retrieve ground that may be consid ered as lost. How very careful then should we be in the nominations for our State ticket, and especially that of the bead of it, who is to bear the chief burden of our canvass, and lead us to glorious victory, or to bury us in humiliation and defeat. Are we sure if not we ought to be, that the candidate for Governor r Specially, as well as all our candi dates, have no past records that can be succesfully attacked or that have to be defended? That they can "face the foe" with courageous eye and un 13 inching front, with no weak spot to bo exposed, for we may bo sure that every vulnerable poirt of attack will be sought for, and if they exist, to force by the wily," eager and deter mined adversary, with whom the fate of battlo is to be won or lost. The Cape Fear section "presents a man to the people of North Carolina of spotless record and of incompara ble ability to) win in this fight in the person of Charles M. Stedman, of New Hanover. Let hia past record be scrutinized carefully and if he has "spot or blemish" the writer,who is his t personal as well as political friend, will join m saying that he is not the man, because and for tho only but all sufficient reason that the good of the Democratic party must be paramount to every other consideration, and ev ery ambition should be, aye, must be subordinated to tho success of that Earty, which is but another name for ontst and pure government. The Democratic party cannot afford to make any, even the slightest mistake this year. We have no "margin" to spare and occupy very critical ground. Let us "come and reason together" for the best interests of our common welfarej I do not deal in honored words lor fulsome adulation, but I have a conviction and hesitate not to deliberately express it when I Bay that in the nomination of Maj. Sted man the Democratic party will make no mistake. He can and will arouse an enthusiasm that no other man, in my judgment, save Vance, can bring about, j He will draw around him the hearty i support of the masses, acd carry the Democratic banner to tri umphant and overwhelming victory. Let the convention be careful of our interests, and if they will nomi nate the man who will insure victory to us in the coming campaign his name will be Charles M. Stedman. Obsebvek.

T,he Democratic County Conven tion for Alexander county was held here today and delegates were ap pointed to the State. Congressional and Senatorial Conventions. They go to all ; the conventions uninstructed, but are for Hon. D. G. Fowle for Governor and Wm. H-, H. Cowles for Congress. The following resolutions were offered and unanimously passed after a Bhort and appropriate speech by E. B. Jones, Esq. : , Jie$olved 1. That we, the Democrats of Alexander coun'y, in convention assembled, do heartily endorse the patriotic and honest administration of President Cleveland. 2. That we hail with delight his hon est and : impartial distribution of ap pointments of Southern citizens to positions in the cabinet, judiciary and representatives at the courts of for eign ; nations, and that in it he has known and recognized no North, no East, no West and no Sotb, beyond their; respective merits. In this" way he has made himself the President of the entire Union and the choice of the people lor a second term. 3. That we endorse the honest and faithful administration of our State government ; the honest and faithful efforts on the part of our representa t ve in Congress for a, reduction of national taxation and a repeal of the internal revenue laws, and demand on their part a continuance of their work till the entire system is abol ished. 4. That we pledge ourselves to the hearty support of the nominees of the Democratic party in county, State and nation, and call upon the Demo crats of the respective townships to aid in the organization of the party, and insist on their attendance upon the primary meetings and their as sistance in the nomination and elec tion to office of honest and efficient men. The Republicans also held a con vention here today and R. Z. Linney, their new convert, made a long two hours' speech, which certainly did not strengthen that party any. HOnQAHTO.1.

Tbt Governorship. Cor. of th News and Observer. WAsniNOToN, N. C, May 7. A distinguished citizen of North Carolina wrote some time ago that it was with great solicitude he observed that the public sentiment of the Dem-r-"tic masses had not singled out h-y one individual as above all Oth er tha most proper and available man upon whom to confer the Gubernato rial nomination. If that gentleman were in hicT native State at this time, he would see from the public journ als that tho masses of the Democra cy were rapidly centering upon J udge Fowle as the ablest and most availa ble Democrat now mentioned for that nomination. It is a fuct bejond question that neither he nor his many friends, have made any effort to arouse a public Bentiment in his be half; and that he is not a candidate for the nomination io the sense that he is seeking it or that his friends are working to that end. The strength developod by other can didates has been of slow growth, and as is generally believed, most assidu ously worked up and cultivated. The idea of nominating Fow!e seems to have sprung up suddenly from the masses of the people, where his strength lies, from the mountains to the sea. S ores of journals teem daily with communications urging tho Democracy to nominate Fowle. These do uot read as if written with the polished pen cf a practiced political boomer, but more like the plain, di rect thoughts and expressions of "the sons of toil" and the business men of the State. Why is this sudden and extended exhibition of sentiment for Fowle when no effort has been made to arouse if. It is because the masses of the people are. both wise and grate ful. They fully appreci ite the neces sity for the supremacy of the white man's patty io North Carolina, to gether with the critical emorgency we aro now facing. They feel that the De mocracy must put forth its strongest, ablest and most available man. The people desire a man as the candidate of the Democracy who is not allied entirely with the railroads or great corporations of the S ate; one who has not made himself obnoxious to any particular class of voters in the Democratic party, and above all a man whose unblemished character and sdul-stirring eloquence will draw to his standard the great masses of the people wherever he speaks Is1 there any other ingn but Fowle who is thought of who exactly fills the bill ? Who that heard his won derful eloquence in the great Tilden campaign of 1870 can evw forget it ? Well do I remember that great Bpeech he made when Dominated as elector. It was worthy of the greatest orator of the Revolution. In a campaign in which he is the leader I believe the eloquence and magnetism of Judge Fowle would achieve a victory surpassing anything we have ever had in North Carolina. He has no legislative iecord to be at tacked; he has mado no uncompro mising enemies from the bench, and no corporation has ever been able to identify him with it. His availibility being generally admitted, common gratitude demands that the nomina tion be at least tendered hirn. No other man in the State, with the pos sible exception of Vance, has ever made such brilliant and successful campaigns; none except Vance can draw the masses from all points to hear him, and no one can so inflame them with ardor and zeal for the great cause of Democracy and the Constitution. The East is entitled to the nomination, and we who live in his native county look with solicitude to the coming convention, trusting and believing that the principle of right, gratitude aDd availability will (triumph and the,, wishes of the masses of the peop.e be gratified. tit so, Judcre Fowle will errasD the banner of Democracy and carry it through the most brilliant campaign North Carolina has ever witnessed to a certain victory. Let no one bemia led by tta efforts of over-zealous friends or of astute opponents in en deavoring at this early day to swi'ch Fowle off for tho United States Sen ate. The party needs him in the coming fight to appeal to the suffrages of the people, and not to legislators, and the party will have him, if the wishes of the people pievail.

The Caldwell County Convention was held in the court house yester day with a full delegation from each township. The reports from the dif ferent township meetings on Satur day are favorable. A large attendance met at each place. The delegates and interested citizens from eery section of the county filled the court house today and more interest was mani fested than usual thus early in the campaign. Rev. Isaac Oxford, of Little River township, was made chairman, and W. W. Scott, Jr., secretary. Delegates to the State convention were unanimously instructed to cast the vote of the - county for Hon. Daniel G. Fowle for Governor, and Judge A- C. Avery for Supreme Court Judge. The delegates to the Congressional convention were instructed to cast the vote of the county for Hon. W. H. H. Cowles, our present able repre sentative. The county delegation then voted for Caldwell'! representative in the State Senate in the 3Gth district, and much interest was manifested in the nomination as these names were pre sented to the convention: H. S. Blair, of Little River township; SV. C. New land, of Lenoir township, and J. J. Harshaw, of John's River township H. S. Blair was n minated on the first ballot, receiving 818; Newland 257, and J. J. Harehaw 176. Mr. Blair is a fine Bpeaker and will make a telling canvass. One of the pleabant features of the convention was to see Mr. S. L- Pat terson, a Democratic delegate from Yadkin Valley township, who left the Republican party on the nomination of Blaine and York, and Mr. J. A. Dula, late chairman of the Republi can executive committee, but recently taken into fellowship in the Demo cratic ranks. The town election passod off quietly, though a full vote was cast. W. C.
