It is said that Mr. Gladstone takes the death of hia son very hard. We would not say that, but rather, that considering his own great age, it re minds him that bis work is near its end and that he should not concern himself too much about mundane affairs. Mr. Gladstone is too serious a philosopher to be disconcerted by personal calamities When it is stated, “that aliens can send their money over here, in vest it in property, and by the power and influence of the same can get all the assistance and aid of the national government they may ask for,” it may as well be added, that under laws passed by a Republican Congress aliens have acquired this power and influence, and that it is the govern ment, as administered by the Repub lican party, that is giving them aid and assistance. Why is it that cer tain of our contemporaries, when complaining of a public grievance, do not state the cause and the au thor P It is reported that Congressman Jerre Simpson will be accompanied on his speaking tour through the South by one or two female orators from the State of Kansas. Kansas is noted for her share of such orators, and one of them was so bitter in her opposition to ex-Senator Ingalls that she publicly d:elared that she “would follow hiia from Wall street to h—ll.” Another doctrine they contend for up there in Kansas, is the repeal of all laws in the Southern States for bidding intermarriages between the whites and colored raec3. Some of them have gone so far as to declare that it wa3 thß exclusive right of the woman to determine the paternity oi her child. Our friends in Gecr g:a will hardly care to receive les sons in political economy from such teachers, and Uncle Jerre. ..may. takes with him any of these Kansas female orators. Their presence shonld excite the opposition of a first-class Georgia watermelon. Wonder who pays the expenses of these female orators? A recent law passed in Switzer land empowers the Swiss people to participate direotly m legislation. It provides that when as many as fifty thousand shall frame the text of a bill for submission to the Chamber, and submits it, the Chamber must discuss such bill. Such a law for a long time governed several of the Cantons, but now it has been given a general application. Under an old law any measure passed by the Fed-' eral Assembly must be submitted to a popular vote, if 30,000 Swiss elec tors demanded it, but, under the new law, 50,000 electors can force to a popular vote the revision of a law in exact terms, the Federal Chamber having the right to submit, at the same time, an alternate proposition. In this country it does not require as many as 50,000 petitioners to se cure che introduction of a law. No representative in our Congress re quires the endoisement of such a large number before acting, he is known to have often acted with one name only as an endorser, and fre quently bills are introduced in our leg islative bodies by a mere request. On yesterday our attention was directed by a farmer of Wake county to a recent editorial which appeared in the News and Obsirver on the subject of faim mortgages. The editorial was m reply to a statement going the rounds to the effect, that the farmers of this country werß car rying as many as 9,000,000 mort gages, beiDg about one mortgage for every seven inhabitants. It showed tha* the statement was wholly mis leading, and was a gross injustice to the farmers. We were gratified to know that our farmer friend saw the point we endeavored to make, »Dd what he said is highly appreciated. * We repeat, that the 9,000,000 in cludes every mortgage on real or personal property, moaning land, nome, crops, &c., given within the la«t ten years, without making any dt. uction for such as have been can celled and fully satisfied during this period. Now every person of sense knows that a mortgage on a crop is always cancelled when the crop is made and sold, and to count all such mortgftg3g as have been given within the last ten years, and say that they are still valid against the farmers is 1 aim ply an assertion that everybody 1 knows is not true. Then why make 1 it ? It is made to excite and mis- { lead the farmers, but they are be- 1 ginning to see tbe object, and, as 1 oat friend well said, are determined 1 to resent the attempt to parade them 1 before the world as money borrow- J erg, ready to mortgage all they own 1 to get money. i BSSD HIM HACK WISER. Senator Pefflr ba3 started on ] his Southern tour. H h comes South for the purpose of advocating the formation of a third party. He hopes to convince Alliance men of the ’ Southern States that they shonld - separate from their Democratic friends, and join, what he i 3 pleased to call, the' “peoples party.” It will be remembered that this was the j name given by the late Cincinnati j Convention to the party represented , by Peffer, a convention, the legality ‘ of which, was not recognized by the ( Southern Alliance at all. This is a { fact that did not escape the atten- ( tion of Peffer, and seeing that the ] Southern Alliance men have made , up their minds to vote, as hereto- . fore, with the Democratic party, he plans a speaking tonr through the ! South in order, if possible, to change them. In a published interview he said, that if the formation of a third party in the South should give the negro, or tbe Republican party the ascendency there, it was a matter about which he could not concern himself. We doubt if the white people of the South will care to receive instructions cf any kind from fcuch a po’it’cal missionary. They will not care to know the views even of a man who 13 not willing to recognize their supremacy in the South as cf paramount importance, essential *0 their material prosperity and demanded by their proud race heritage. If negro or Republican rule in the South suits him as well; if he is indifferent as to whether the Southern States are governed by white or black men, then we are very much mistaken if Peffer does not re turn to bis home in Kansas a wiser, and not a successful man. And, after the Senator expressed such indiffer ence about the government of the Southern States, it would be inter esting to know who invited him to the South. Who asked this man, with his views of the Sonthern white people, and his indifference to their most sacred interest, to come among them for the purpose of speaking to them on tbe great issues of the day ? 1 An apology for his absence from [ North Carolina has been made, and we now understand he goes first to Georgia, but the Al -1 Dance Governor of that State 1 has only recently made a public de claration of hostility to Peffer’a plans and schemes. Has he been in cited to Georgia, the great Empire ; State of the South, by some one who was once strong in the Alliance, but ! whose influence is fast waning, who ■ is losing the confidence of the order, and hopes to save himself from mer ; ited oblivion by disorganizing the ■ Democratic party ? There are such ! men, but they a;e being found out and located by the farmers of the South, men among whjpa the dema gogue has never been able to thrive. Should the visit be extended to South Carolina, there the Senator will find : ms cfangeYous theories, and when he ! crosses over into Tennessee, he will find no comforter in Mr. Buchanan, 1 another Alliance Governor. Thus it * is, the substantial men of the Alli * ance are beginning to see that tbe interest of the farmer is not to be advanced by promoting the ambi tions schemes of the mere dema * gogne or political orator, and that : real and permanent benefits can only r come by a strict adherence to the 1 Democratic doctrine of equal laws for all and special privileges to none. Beware oT Letiruing'. Durham Glube. There is one thing which seems to trouble greatly tbe apcsfcles of high ' protection. It i** the fact that the large body of young men who yearly graduate from our universities and colleges are almost without exception imbued with hostility to our present tariff policy. This is accounted for by cur protectionists on the theory that all college professors are free traders, and some of them even go so far as to mutter vague insinua tions about “British gold” and ? “Oobden club” in explanation of this alarming tendency. Now The Globe would suggest to these gentlemen that, so far as oui knowledge extends, no college in this country teaches either free trade or protection. All the colleges teach is political economy, and the end and aim of their teaching is to give the student a clear insight into tbe methods of reasoning to be followed and a comprehensive knowledge of facts, such as will enable him to de cide the question for himself. If the result of such a training makes it im possible for a young man to give ear to the sophistries and fallacies 'usually brought forward in protec tionist arguments che college snrely should not be blamed. If a high tariff father wants his son to grow up in the same faith he should be very careful not to give him any chances of acquiring the elementary princi ples of political economy. - ———— -■ * ■ * Fell Off The Glepbsnt. Denver, July s. —This afternoon an immense crowd gathered at Man hattan Beach, a resort near here, to witness a balloon ascension by a lady. There is a menagerie at the beach, and it had been advertised that children would be given a ride on the back of au elephant. Tho ele phant had made two trips and was just returning to the animal house with eight children on his back, when the balloon started up. The ani mal became frightened at the balloon and began trumpeting and running about, making desperate efforts to unseat the children. They all fell off and escaped uninjured but one, a little boy named Johnny Eaton, the son of a railroad man, who was caught under the elephant's feet and was crushed out of all semblance to humanity. The keeper of the ele phant then stuck a pitchfork into the animal’s trank and was thrown high ] -i * in the air by the enraged brute. He, j however, was not aerioualy hurt. By j this time several other attendants j had arrived and managed to eccurt ! the elephant with chains. The par , eats of the child killed are nearlj frantic with grief. ai— # mm General Jetliro Sumner. In his address at Guilford Court House Dr. Kemp P. Battle gave u full history of this patriot, whose j fame has been obscured by the neg lect of our historians—Judge Sehenck only doing him justice. The ad dress was the fruit of laborious re- 1 search into the histories of the Uri ted States, of Virginia, North Caro lina and South Oarolina, of the stat utes of our State and Proceedings of the Committees of Safety, as well as numerous letters to and from Gen. Sumner, and other manuscripts. He was born in Nansemond county, Vir ginia, in 1733. His grandfather, Wm. Sumner, emigrated from Eng land in 1090 and bought lands one mile from Suffolk. He had five sons, Jethro, whose son was the Genera 1 ; John, whose daughter, Elizabeth, married Elisha Battle, who settled on Tar river, in Edgooombe county; James, who?e sons, Luke, David and Thomas, were prominent in civil Lfe j daring the Revolution; Damsey, the | ancestor of tbe late Thomas Jethro ! Sumner, of Rowan, and one other son, named William. Jethro, the younger, was born in 1733, and Dr. Battle gave a full account of the state cf society in which he was raised. He was appointed a lieu tenant in General.then Colonel, Wash ington’s command, and assia ed in the capture of Fort Da Qaesne. He served also against the Indians and reached the grade of captain. Ho settled in Warren county, (then Bute), between 1762 and 1772, for it appears that he was then made sheriff of Bute by Gov. Martin. The au thor of Smyth's Tour, Captain J. F. I. Smyth, visited him in 1774. Smyth says he was a tavern-keeper, but an account book owned by Wm. J. Nor wood shows that he was the owner of the tavern, and rented it to one Elliott. Smyth says he was of a “lusty appearance and rather hand some.” Dr. Battle gave a description of the people of Bute of that day, and their social and business habits. Most of them emigrated from Virginia— the Hawkins, Ransoms, Sumners, Ac. Sujrne* was an ardent patriot, was a member of the State Cor grtss of 1774, was appointed Major of the Minute Men of Bute, and as such served tfc Norfolk under Howe in December, 1775, and Jan uary, 1776. Howe and his troops W9re great’y praised by the authori ties of Yirgiun and of North Caro lina. Sumner was then made Colo nel cf the North Carolina Conti nental troops. Ha was at the siege of Charleston in 1776, where the North Carolina troops gained the ES&uali&4 l( ,pf Jlem CJsr{s the expedition against Florida in 1776, and later joined Washington, in 1777, fought gallantly at Brandy wine, Germantown and Monmouth, was promoted to Brigadier General in January, 1779. He suffered with the troops at the terrible Valley Forge camp. He was ordered to North Carolina under Gen. Linooln, was on detached service, raising re cruits when Lincoln with all his Continental troops was captured at Charleston. On the itvasionof Corn wallis Gen. Sumner esgarly offered his services as commander of a militia brigade but was refused principally by the agency it appears of General Caswell, who then with Governor Nash and Wm. Bignal formed the ‘‘Council Extraordinary,” tho only dictatorial authority North Carolina ever had. Dr. Battle showed the immense labors of Sumner in forming a new brigade and how it was recruited. He then j vlned Greene and distin guished himself at the battle of Eutaw Springs. He continued bis labors until the end of the war prin cipally in the disagreeable but neces sary duty of raisirg troops. I a 1784 Gen. Sumner was made president of the Society cf the Cincinnati in North Carolina. He died in March 1785 at his plantation in Warren, leaving his large estate to children, Tho mas Edward, McKinnie Hurst and Jacky Sullivan. The boys died without issue. Jacky Sullivan, bis’ daughter, married Thomas Blount, a member of Congress of the United States and brother of Reading Blount, Colonel under Sumner, when he served under Greene, the ether Colo nels being John Biptiata Ashe and John Armstrong. She changed her name to Mary Sumuer Blount and died in 1822, a childless widow, leav ing her large estate to sixty legatees, among whom was Christ Church, Raleigh. Dr. Battle stated that he had been unable to ascertain any thing about Sumner’s wife, except that she was Baid to be a “widow Heiss” of New Berne and had a large property. None of the old citizens of New Berne ever heard of her, and if any of our readers can throw any light on the subject, wo would be glad if they would write to us. Dr. Battle closed by saying : “Fellow citizens, I have endeavored to give you a truthful ac count, not making the subject of my address cither a hero, impossible to be imitated, or an unapproachable saint, but exactly as ho was, a man whom all should honor and all should love. I hope, in view of all his sacri fices for ns and our liberties, in view of his kindly acts to our suffering ancestors, you will join me in thank ing the Giver of all good, for his gift to North Carolina, of Jethro Sum ner, “one of tho heroes of 1776.” unm + —— The wtather never gets to hot to sleep under a blanket at “Blue' Ridge Inn,” ML Airj. ; A. Galveston Telegram Gives Par- UcularH of Douglierty’s Gay ttn-e. * A Galveston, Texas, to the D Has, Texas, N ws, give the fr llovrli' , g paruculars oi the ar?w?t o * i Robert Dougherty, the muierer: “A young man about 23 years old : named Robert Dougherty is under arrest at police headquarters on a charge of murder committed in North 1 Carolina 0.1 the 30lh day of May of the present year. The arrest was made this afternoon by Chief .of Po- ! lice Jordan and Detective Jamas Cahill upon a telegram from Sheriff Reynolds of Asheville, N. C., stat ting that Robert Dougherty was wanted for the murder William Tor rence, that S2OO would be paid for his delivery and giving a description of the man wanted. Chief Jordan learned that a party answering the description given had applied at a livery stable for work and was to call again today. Jordan gave instruc tions to have the man de tained when he callsd again until he -could be notified and this afternoon received notice that the man had reported. In com pany with Detective Cahill he pro ceeded to the place and made the ar rest. Tho prisoner had given the ! name cf Murphy. A telegram an j nouncing his arrest was sent to Rey * nolds at Asheville. The prisoner, when told of the charge upon which he had been arrested, made no denial and said that he had arrived here Sunday morning and was trying to get work, He admitted that on the night of the 30th of last month he had thrown a billet of wood at two men ou horseback whom he had seen about his father's prem sea about 11 o'clock at night; that the horses ridden by the men had shied and one of the riders fell off, striking his head against an iron bridge, causing his death.” Deputy Sheriff H. C. Jones left this afternoon for Galveston and will ! bring Dougherty to Asheville. M At the Very Gates. Constitution. The wood pol „ icy of the Georgia, Carolina andi Northern has brought that road to the very gates of Atlanta before the public could realize that the city would soon have another great line. In DeKalb couuty 1,000 hands are at work on tbe road. The grading is beiDg done from near Major W. G. Houston’s, about one mile from the Georgia railroad 1 to tho county lino ia the direction of Lawrencevilte, Form the county 1 line to where the gradiug has already been completed, ten miles th-s sidt 1 of Lawreneeville, every section is un der contract and men are at work. Near Mj >r Houston’s the read branches, one line coiaia to the, Georgia railroad five miles from At 1 iaaoa, and ine other runs across to | the belc line, b' rising the Richmond and D irvilie about two and a halt w.-., who property of Mrs. Mason, and crossing south Peachfciee creek at Mason's mill. The line to the Georgia railroad right of way, it is said, will be the passen ger, and the other the freight line. The road has had some difficulty in ; securing a right of way through the property of the Kirkwood Land Company, which has prevented work on the mile from the Georgia rail road to Maj ir Houston's. 1 Where the road branches twelve acres have been purchased from Mr. S A Durand, which means that the shops cf the read are to be located r ear Atlanta. The bridge across the river at Athens is now almost fin ished; and by August the trains will be running int® the Classic City. *The road is now in operation to El berfcon.

I— The Cotton Oil Trust. It transpires that at a meeting of the American Cotton Oil Trust, held July Ist, a matter which may prove of a good deal of importance to certificate holders was developed. It seems that $5,000,000 of the trust stock was given some time ago for tho sto« k of the United States Cotton S ?od Cleaning Company, since proved to have been worthless. Some of the trustees of the trust were interested m the purchase. It was unanimously resolved that tho present trustees ex amine into the facts and take all legal measures practicable to recover from all parties interested as much as possible.
