Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, MAY 291 8t;0. The Confederate Flag:. If the people of Richmond feel like Hiring the Confederate flag when they unveil Lee's statue let thm doit. 'They, will not enJanger the-Union, and the Stars nnd the Stripes will stHl wave over ns u.Mlanta Constitution. Allrisrht von can't spoil our appetite with any n unit er of Confederate flaigs. It is uot a very comely p;iece of hunt ing and won't make much of a show by the side of the glorious Stars and Stripes; but run "it up to the masthead and cheer it as much as you That flag, reminds jwi of a great deal of suffering, as well-as a great deal of hardy, sturdy con nige; of dreadful t mes, the like of which we believe will never recur; of graves and a thunder sbocMhat made us all tremble. If vou want to see it in the air when I Lm'-s monument bv alf nieans do so it won't in the slightest degree affect your allegiance to the best govern uient the sun shines upon. .V. Y. Herald: Hurrah tor ther Herald. But will the national ass, Elliot F. Shepherd, allow the Herald to "stay in New York city after that editorial? Will he not convict the Herald of treason, and demand that the Govern ment confis cate James Gordon Burnett and ob literate forever the name Herald from the English language The old, one armed, one-legged, and now gray-headed set of Teteran rebels that are gathered in Richmond love the the old colars, the stars and bars. They have yelled under them, they have bled under them, they fought for them like, tigars. They preferred death to surrendering them, and yet when the Union is threatened by a for eign foe, there will none quicker to take up the stars and stripes and bear itrto victory than these same men that want to yell once more for the stars and bars as they boldly float out to the breeze as they did in Riclnubnd twenty ijve years ago. John V, Fisher will bear the tatter ed battle flag of the Sth North Caro lina Regiment as the Rowan veterans join in the line of March in Richmond. He was a mtniber of the old color gUitrJ .tbit bxy tu A during the war. Ran to Earth. The Neic$-Obse.i'eer has been holding ''Old Fogy's"1 thin and shattery sides up to the light of day, so that the coat of the old dissembler and confu soinst look as if had gottei tan- gieu up in a row with a tattling gun. Our estimable contemporary's efforts are appreciated. A New England Repub- i ; il i ii l jicanr it seems to us, js an oua sort a something when posing as an ad visa ry board for North Carolinians. Why the tine old gentleman attempted it djesjiot appear, uuless his effort has origin in the usual missionary spirit of his people. Why can't those folks keep still ? i Why can't they learn that to talk politics and ecjonemy to a south erner is' to talk to lianibal about wars" Government has always been the pe culiar science of the South, and the best of those fellows up there can find a ready matclv in almost any little ;oss roads Southern, town, as touch ing economic measures. However if the mistake were an honest one, Old logy s ignorance would only excite the -smile of commiseration. As it is, in effectually sheltered behind a faulty mask while assuming community of in terest with us, his folly demands attention. This is Why Wc are Going to Get the r. & s: Winston Sentinel. L In this issue we print, an extract from the Charlotte Cnronicle, wmehfcays tnat if the- Roanoke & Southern Railroad Teally Wants to go to Charlotte that Char lotte will otter sufficient maucemeni, w take it there, but if Monroe or some other point has been deeided upon, that Char lotte will not make a bid in orderjfcoforce some other town to increase its subscrip tion. We bog to assure the Chronicle and the neonle of everv town whieh wants the Roanoke AT Southern Railroad that no route to the South has ret been de eided upon. Utah Point, Lexington, Thomasvillc, Salisbury, Concord, Char lotte, Monroe, Archdale, Randleman, Troy, Wadesboro, andothernaall towns alonr the several available routes are making an active campaign for the road Thejwire sending committees along the oronosed routes, investigating their ad vantages and inducing the people and townships to give the right of way aud Kberal 'subscriptions:- That the officers of the Roanoke & Southern Railroad and the people of Winston allow them to do this is.an evidence ot their good taitn. The location of this road is . simply a "business matter. The directors of the road will locate it wherever the best in dueements are offered. If Charlotte has a longer pole than Monroe and all other rivals, then Charlotte will get the per simmon. If Concord and the people along the line through Montgomery county offer superior advantages, coupled with larger subscriptions,, they will get the road, and so with the other routes The Chamber of Commerce of this city at its meeting on Tuesday night of this week appointed a committee of five of its best business men to go to Lexington on June 5th for the purpose of giving infor mation to the committees of the various towns which will be sent there tpconsuls with Presidents Fries and Trout. This committee is instructed to hear the propositions from the various townships and to give assurance to all that their claims will be considered Impartially. These being the facts iu the case, Char lotte and every other town heretofore .mentioned -has an equal chance. They all stand on the same footing, and the town or section that does the most hus tling, other things being equal, is the oue which will win the prize. This being the case, the question resolves itself into a mere matter of business and Salisbury is content. She feels herself able to keep the field against all comers where it is a fair one with favors to none. We will get that Wathinton Letter. (From our regular correspondent .) Items of Interest.

One-legged, one-winged, shot-scarred, and s.ibre-uiarked, the whilom gallant soldier boys of Rowan, bowed at last md wearing an alloyage of frost under their helmets, have marched on Rich mond once again. This time it is the errand of peace that takes them there. but what a whirl of stirring mem ories will come surging out of that sulphurous past like the dying reverbera tion of a great gun's crashing thunder or the fading call of a bugle, long since mute. Cold Harbor, the Wilderness, Seven Pines, Manassas one and two, Lee, Jackson, Jjongstreet, Early, Stewart, PelhamJ and the red battle shirt of A. P.

J ust wait once will you? burden- of the stateinan's labors the past week has been, silver in the Sen ate and tariff in the House, and I think some photographic interviews of metn- Ibers of the popular branch of Congress during the straggle over the latter is sue wonld prove very interesting ob ject lessons in certain phases of legis lative life at the Capitol. Some of the more excitable solons were as wild-eyed .and violently vociferous as bulls an gered by the waving gt a red rag. Many republicans made wry faces it nd much talk against obnoxious fea tures of the bill, and would have voted ndversely had they possessed the cotir-' age or. uriir coavicuoa. iua un satisfied gentlemen now console them selves with a pretended assurance that the Senate will amend the bill so that it con scarcely be recognized by its Ixst friends. In the Senate the silver bill has at tracted much attention .and a few of the republican Senators notably-Stew-art of Nevada, whose long silvery beard and great height make a rather picturesque personality, said some very plain words by way of reminding the, party in power of its violated pledges of monetaryreforni. The silver states man even went so far as to praise the democracy in a cautious way for its fidelity to fiscal reform. The fate of the silver bill in the Senate is a mat ter of speculation, but its defeat is prob able in my opinion. Singularly enough Senator Carlisle passes over to the Senate almost at the same moment when the tariff bill does, and his new colleagues in admiration of his great services and of his pre eminent abilities have waived formality aud placed the Kentucky statesman upon a finance committee as the suc cessor of his lamented predecessor. This is the second time 1 believe that any man has been so honored in that respect. It is thought that Mr. Car lisle will spring from the House to the Senate a full-fledel leader and be so recognized by both parties. I heard quite a sharp passage be tween Senator's Blair and Hancock while the discussion of naval affairs was progressing and both of these usually cold-blooded men, became some what excited. The former as usually poke like a crank, and the latter rath- r surprisingly spoke on the demoral izing effect that navy yard appoint ments had on both political parties. lhe river and harbor bill was under. consideration in the House a day or so since and Mr. Henderson of Illinois chairman of the committee ou rivers uid harbors said the appropriation was nneteen million dollars less than the estimates, and stated that he believed that no money which went out of the the Treasury wsis so much in the in terest of the people.

H if. -ctar. On last Saturday evening while the east-bound passenger train was spin ning along a few miles this side of Asheville a young negro man told the conductor he wanted to get off. The train did not slow up fast enough to suit him and he jumped.' off the rear platform while the train was . making about o0 miles an hour, falling in a heap onthe cross-ties. The passen gers all thought he was killed, but to the surprise of every one by the time the train had stopped he had picked himself up. and was seen walkiiig un concernedly down the track. He had fortunately fallen on his head. Mor fjantvn Herald. !..!. . 1 li un nisi page ana add a in irksof our own, course of re- Up a Tree.

He now says that he took the matter out of an old scrap book and that be would have left it alone ;but for the fact that he did not known it was Massillon's, He further says that be would not steal .from any one he knew. However, an explanation from H man once fairly detected in a theft and a lie is; valueless, The maxim of the common; law was false in one thing, false in all; and to-day the public has MO possible means of determining whether Mr, Ingalls has a scrap book or not, or whether, if he has one?
