Mt. Yerxox, N. C.
Dear Watchman :
Radicalism has been signing its own
death warrant. The whijome great par
ty of human rights, with! a majority co
operation ef the. Democrats, which is en
thely consistent), has gone and voted to
exclude the Chinese. Every word of Sen
ator Jones' speech, and every vote of Re
publican members for that measure blots
out and gives the lie to the past profes
sions and assumptions of the party of the
negro. It is plain aV"a-b, ab," or 'twice
twoare four," that if the Chinaniau has
no business here, neither lias the negro.
And, moreover, we are assured of 4his
fact by the 'silver-tongued orator of Ne
vada." Gain&ay it who will, we have his
word for it, that the past
party toward the negro
policy of his
was nothing
niore nor less that a gigantic blunder.
His speech is a downright humiliating I
ana unconditional surrender of the
party Idol, the negro, into) the hands of
opponent. What negro will I be so in
sane as to vote for them now t j
; While tlie great power of the Rads was
being brought to bear to j Mahonize the
Democracy, they have been committing

It was always thus with fanaticism! It

When Gen. Arthur was told that hit
veto of the Chinese bill would be inju
rious to the Republican party iu the
States, he gave a reply which out to be
preserved in letters of gold for the in
structiou of all future statesmen.
He said he had not considered the
subject as a partisan, and had not thought
whether one party or the other would be
advanced through the Executive approval
or disapproval of the bill. Bat he saw
that American principles were involved
which had been in vogue for a century ;
and if either party should gain auy per
manent advantage, it would be the party
that stood on true American ground.
This is a wise answer. It shows a
high and noble appreciation of the phil
osophy of political controversies. There
can be no mistake in 6teadily maintain

been in vogue! for a hundred years,

Bishop George F. PieiSce, oneofjtue

written the following letter to the ed
itqt of the Christian Advocate, pub
iislied. at IS'ashville, Tenn:
, The approaching general conference
seems to be a very suggestive event.
The papers, secular and religious,
abound Avitli statement conjectures
and prophecies about what wiH ibe
done, what is Jikely to bedone, ajid
wlratTTwgTTt to be dbne JflLl I these def
uvvraijces are witnout aniiionty or

wide of the mark and very mislead
ing. Tlie introduction fby anybody
of any vexatious, agitating topic will
be Very unwise, and will involve
great waste of time without any corri
pensating benefit. The church is quiet
every where iu our borders: No very
important legislation is asked for, nor
is a uy expected, by the preat body bf
our people. I " I
The question of the reunion bf
Methodism IVorth and South is not
up. It will not be before us official
ly, nor is there any competent author
ity in the premises before, the North
ern general conference. Irresponsi
ble iiivitations, the published opinions
and wishes of a few gushing brethreji,
here and there, amount ? to nothing.
We must respect ouroelTCs and bide
our time. In the meanwhile I think
I speak advisedly when I say tlie
common sentiment of our people s
that organic union is neither practici-
ble nor desireable. Let have peace
by letting disturbing questrons alone.
. The chief business of the occasion
will be the election of bishops to fijl
! the vacancies made by death, aud to
provide for the enlargement aud more
effective working of ouri, missionary
and Sunday school plans. It seems
to me that all needed work cab
promptly be disposed of. The ses
sion may be, and ought to be a short
one. Private pressing business will
demand the presence of the lay mem
bers at home, presiding elders will be
needed on their districts, college pres
idents and professors ought to be wit i
their classes, stationed preachers ougnt
to be at their posts of duty and labor.

That's Just Mc
Yearg ago, into a wholesale grocery
store in this city, walkedla tall, raus
cular man, evidently a fresh-comer
from some backwoods town in Maine
or New Hampshire. Accosting the
first person he met, who happened to
be the merchant himself, he asked : .
'You don't want to hire a man iu
your store, do you? i r
'Well said the. merchant, 'I. don't
know. What can you do?'
DoV said the mao,I rather guess
I can turn my hand to almost any
thing. What do yon wait dohef
Wp11. if T .'was tn hirA'. a mqn it
would be one that could lift well, a
strong, wiry fellow ; one, for instance,
that could lift a sack of coffee like that
yonder and carry it across -the store
and never lay it down? -
'There, now, cap'n said the coun
tryman, 'that's just me. I can lift
anything I can hitch to. You can't
suit me better. .What will you give
a man that suits you ?'v .
'I'll tell you,' said the merchant,
'if yon shoulder that sack of coffee and
carry it across the store twice and
never lay it down, I will hire you for
one year at one hundred dollars a
month.'
'Done,' said the stranger.
By this time every clerk in the
store had gathered around and was
waiting to join in the laugh against
the man, who threw the sack acrois
( his shoulder with perfect ease, and
carrying it twice across the floor, went
to a large hook which was fastened to
the wall and hung it up, then turned
to the merchant and said,
'There, now, it may hang there till
doomsday. I shall never take it
down. What shall I go atybut, mis
ter ? Just give me plenty jto do and
one hundred dollars a month, and it's
all right.' j
The clerks broke into a laugh, aud
the merchant, discomfited yet satisfi
ed, kept his agreement, and to-day
the green countryman is the senior
partner in the firm and worth a mil
lion dollars.

who has spent much of the last seven
