TAMMANY AND THE NEW
YORK SUN
Southern Democrats should hold
no sort of affiliation with that Whyo
gang, worse than the Forty Thieves;
the so-called Tammany Hall Dem
ocracy, The same part that Bene
dict Arnold played ones toward the
American colonies, even alike part
of treachery do they habftually play
toward the Democratic Dartv. 1 Po
litical buccaneers, they are the ideal
"spoilsmen." Really and truly and
canuiaiy ana witnout any equivoca
tion the ."spoils" of office, the polit
ical "plunder," the official "swag"
is all they see in a political cam
paign and it is all they vote and
fight for. If it were not for that
they would "take no part in poli
tics." We do not scarcely" see how
decent men can mourn much when
ii t i i i - -
inese oruiai roueus, wno make a
trade oat of politics, drop out of it
and take no part in it. Surely it is
nota thing to be proud of that such
a set should dictate a policy to any
party and, with, brazen effrontery,
jiiwiuiii mat iu vue victors oeiong
the spoils !" Certainly, if they are
the "victors," they - do not deserve
ii.i cl. il!.i.Ii..i
the "spoils " and desert and! merit,

t seems to us, are the great; things

ther by popular vote or by appoint
ment. ;
But, this Tammany Hall, that
calls itself Democratic, has not sup
ported ja Democratic candidate for
the Presidency in 10 , years.: Hold
ing the fat offices of New York City
above all other "boodle," they will
sell out any Democratic candidate
to the Republicans to gain control
of these offices. In 1880 they sold
out the gallant Hancock and, by
their treachery defeated him. In
1881 they sent John Kelly and their
gas-uag uraay xo tne democratic
convention which nominated Cleve
land and there these two heelers of
Tammany and of the Roman Cath
olic church villified Cleveland until
the convention nominated him on
account of the "enemies he had
made." From then until the elec
tion Turn man v wna almnaf. in nnon
revolt and everv hidden thrust t.W
r r ...
could be made was aimed at Cleve
. " . , 7
land.
In company with Blaine and
the Blaineites the miserable danders
against. Cleyeland-s private life were
made and circulated. But, in spite
, of. their treachery, the "old man"
; pulled through.
Since his election they have been
his enemies aa they were before
simply because he is an honest man
and will not go back on his promi
ses. And the great organ of this
- "Democratic" Tammany Hall is the
New York Sun, which supported
Blaine's side show, Butler, in 1884,
-. and tried to defeat Cleveland.
We poxGRATULATE the old relia
ble Charlotte Democrat upon round
ing its 34th mile post. We speak
generally, when we call our brave
and honest Brother Yates' paper the
wiu renauiw ana we ao not "come
to the focus of a particularity," as
our esteemed friend of the Asheville
Citizen , felicitously puts it. We
would see" Brother Yates paraboli
cally quadrangled before we would
call him anything else than a
"crank" we use this vulgar term
in a Pickwickian sense -in some of
his holdings. The estimable-veteran
and journalistic Nestor "means
well," though, and we hope he may
be wielding his trenchant pen 34
years from now and be the cynosure
of all eyes as the Centenarian Edi
tor, the only living representative of
the extinct spoilsman.
Tne JjondoxTi correspondent cables
on tha 13th inst. to the New York
World that Gladstone will probably
resign. The far the Gladstoneites
elected are 241; opposition 365. To
ry managers confident they will
have a clear majority and can act in
dependent of the Radical and Whig
bolters J The London Times, how
ever is strong for a Hartington
(Whig) Ministry rather than for a
Salisbury (Tory) Ministry. Mr.
O'Connk cables to the New York
Star on! the 13th:
. "Gladstone is quite easy amid the
turmoil,1 and says he is unable to
see what political combinatio"n can
now be effected in the imperial
Parliament to secure any measure of
real coercion such as the Tories have
threatened, or to prolong lor any
lengthened period effective resis
tarice to Irish home rule. Gladstne
was never more calm at a crisis in
his political career than he is now"

v Washington, July 10. Hon. Geo-'
rge 0. abell, of Va., has made ex-:
cellent use of the oppotunity affo;d
ed him as a member of the Comittee
on- Appropriations to accomplish
a good work for the benefit of his
constituents. He is the author of
the following provision in the De
ficiency Appropriation bill, which
passed the House to day:
And hereafter the whole of the
compensation and fees paid a com
missioner, and to; which he may be
entitled for services in the examina
tion of criminal charges, shall not
exceed eight hundred dollars, per
annum, or exceed that rate for any
time less than a vear: Provided, that.
for issuing any warrant or writ, and
for any other necessary service, com
misioners may be paid the sapfe
compensation as is allowed - clerks
for like services, but they shall not
be entitled to any docket fees."
First Comptroller Durham esti-'
mates that this paragraph will re
duce the expenses of the Government
by several hundred thousand dvllars
annually, s besides operating as a
cnecK upon tne persecution, which
has been practiced upon the people
by haveng them arrested upon all
kinds of charges of violation of the
Internal Revenue Laws, in order to
increase the fees of United States
Commissioners. Mr. Cabell made
the following statement to the
House when the Sundry Civil Ap
propriation bill was under discus
sion: "I will only mention here that in
some portions of the State in which
I reside, iu my own district, inno
cent men have often been informed
upon. These spies and informers
have ben put upon the . people, and
hundreds of men have been reported
to commissioners, and .'these com
missioners have muiiu their fees by
thousands of dollars, and -have sent
men on to be tried by the courts,
and the courts have - discharged
them. In one little country in my
'district the commissioner's fees have
amounted to more than $2,000 in a
year, and in all that time not twenty
men have been ; convicted by . the
courts."
Mr. Gilboson, of west Virginia: In
some counties the fees of the com
missioners have amounted to 15,000.

Death of Col. J. B. Wheeler.
We stated briefly in The Topic
last week that Col. "Junius 1;. Whei
ler died at his residence at 10 a.m.
Thursday morning. His disease
was flux: complicated with other ail
ments. On Friday afternoon at 4
o'clock the funeoal took place from
his late residence and he was buried
in the Presbyterian cemetery, Rev.
C." A. Munroe officiating. In obe
dience to a request made by Col.
Wheeler before he died six colored
men were hired as actual pall-bearers,
to carry the coffin and to fill the
grave, while a number jof gentlemen
of the town were selected a honora
ry pall- bearers by Major Harper
and Capr. Faucette to whom this
j trust was given by the deceased
be
fore his death. Messrs. w. II.
Cloyd, C. Leventhorpe, J. M. Spain
hour, J.C. Newland, S. L. Patter
son, N. A. Miller, and Dr. . W.
Scott, were the pall-bearers.
Col. heeler, who was a balf
brother of the late - Col John II.
Wheeler, the historian was born in
Murfreesboro, N. . in 18 , but,
his parents dying wheii ke was quite
young, a considerable portion of his
early years was spent with his broth
er at" Beattie's Ford in Lincoln
county. ! In 184G he entered the
school of the late Rev. Dr. Henry
Mott, near Lenoir, where ho remain
ed until sometime during tha Mexi
can war,1 to which he went, although
a mere boy, and entered as a private.
Before the war closed he had been
promoted to be second Lieutenant
in Hoke's North Carolina Company.
At the close of the Mexican waa
Lieutenant Wheeler returned to Le
noir and resumed his studies in Dr.
Mott's school where ho remained a
few sessions before entering the
University of North Carolina. -Before
finishing his course at Chapel
Hill, Lieut. Wheeler, not yet 18 re
ceived an appointment as "cadet at
West Point Military Academy. He
entered ( and passed through the
school, receiving his commission in
the arm, after which his career is
almost identical with that of all tal
ented men who enter the army. He
went from post to post and saw
much hard service, as the greater
part of his time was passed on the
Western frontier fighting Indians
and Mormons. ;
A few years ago he received the
appointment of Professor of Engin
eering at West Point with the rank
of Colonel. While in this position
ho was the author of several mathe
matical and technical treatises which
became standard text books at once.
In 1884 Col. Wheeler was placed
upon the retired list of the army,
since which time he has resided in
Lenoir, the home of his youth. The
communitv in which he and his
family ha3 become such favorites
extends its profound sympathy to
the children of our esteemed citi
zen.
