The following letter from Sam

He has always been one 1 of the

good connections and. standing aiid

worth much to tiie Republican par

which- "ne could not go; and that
point was York and Blaine.
We are indebted to the Lenoir

POLITICAL POINTS.
-:o:
WHAT THE POLITICIANS ARE
TALKING ABOUT.
THE POLITICAL CALDRON.
Every Republican paper in the
State claims that Dr. York will be
elected.
Ex-Spnator Joseph E. McDonald
predicts with nuhesitating confi
dence the election of Cleveland.
A iiou-partisan poll of Indiana
made for the Cincinnati 'Enquirer"
gives the Democrats a majority of
G,000.
Candidate St. John expects that
his slice of the popular vote w ill be
& round million a slice of water
millioti, as one might say.
Col. Oliver II. Dockerv has been
nominated for Congress by the Re-
niblicans of the sixth district and
r. R. M. Norment-for presidential
lector.
Mr. R. S. Davis, of Washington'
City, has. been chosen to and aecep
ted the position of candidate for
Vice President on the ticket with
Mrs. Belva A. Lock wood.
The Republican convention held
n Richmond county l he other day
was composed of three white men
and twenty four colored brethren.
Those white men must have been
very lonely.
Candidate Daniel, St. John's
vice on tue frouioition national
ticket, left his home iu Baltimore
county, Md., Wednesday, for Ral
eigh, N. C. He proposes to make
i canvass of the South.
A correspoudeut of the Raleigh
'News-Observer," who heard the
discussion between Vance and
York at Lexington, describes the
scene as that of a big dog taking
up a cat and shaking it. '
Gen. Brtfgg, who said of Cleve
and at the national Democratic
convention, "YV e love hnu for the
enemies he has made," was last
Saturday nominated lor Congress
rom the second Wisconsin district.
The "Tribune" has compared Mr.
Blaine to St. Paul. Mr. Blame
doubtless feels like saying to his
friends, with the apostles to the
Gentiles: "I would that ye become
such as I am except these bonds!"
The Independent Republicans of
New Jersey, in the address adopted
by their State committee last Sat
urday, declare that' the party can
only rain a renewal of life and
health and future usefulness"; by
the defeat of Mr. Blaine. ' !
The Brooklyn "Eagle." gives a
computation made up at the head
quarters of the Independent Re
publicans by which the svote of that
party is estimated at 4,1,000 lor
New York State. The "Herald"
thiifks the estimate is much too
low.
In the Republican district con
vention for the third district, which
met at Fayettville lass week, ex
Gov. Curtis II. Brogdeu, of Wayne,
was nominated for Congress against
Col. Wharton J. Green, and Mr.
W. A. Guthrie, of Fayette ville, was
nominated for presidential elector.
The election in Georgia for Gov
ernor, State officers and members
ot the Legislature took place ed
uesday. The vote was small.
There was no opposition and Hen
ry G, McDaniel was re-elected Gov
ernor. It is thought that not more
than one-third of the vote in the
State was polled.
If there is one man who is catch
ing it heavier than another iu
North Carolina politics it is 'Mr.' J.
W. Reid's competitor iu the fifth
district Col. L. C. Edwards. The
Oxford "Torchlight" publishes a
supplement with this most remark
able recoid and Mr. Reid is laying
it on in good fashion.
Among the checks received by
the Republican national committee
for a campaign fund are John Ja
cob Astor 100,000; Jay Gould,
100,000; Levi P. Morton (to raise)
100,000 ; James Seligman, 10,000;
George F. Baker, II. C, Falinestock,
Drexel. Morgan & Co., .Thomas L.

A grand procession in Philadel
phia turned out the other day to
welcome Mr. Blaine. The Plumed
Knitrbt was heard to sav : "Mar-
niticeut, Magnificent." The hosts
- r
of Waterloo stretched out before
the gaze of Napoleon on the morn
ing of the battle, he too was heard
to murmur, Magnilicent, Magnifi
cent."
The membeis of the New York
Miuing, Stock and National Petro
leum Exchange organized a Cleve
land and Hendricks cl ib Saturday
last. It was announced that over
two hundred members had signed
the roll, of whom one-third are Re
publicans, v v. V. Clayton, a Inc
hing Republican, was elected presi
dent of the club. A committee of
three was appoiuted to nominate
an executive committee of twelve
Republicans aud twelve Democrats.
. There is another entanglement
in Democratic politics in New York
city. Though it was understood
that the different wings of'the par
ty were to unite on , a ticket com
posed of representatives of each,
Tammany Hall met last Monday
night aud put a straight Tammany
ticket in the field for all the offices
which are to Je filled. Alderman
Hugh J. Grant was nominated '.for
mayor. Johu Kelly was greeted
with unusual applause and made a
speech saying that heretofore when
Tammany conferred with other or
ganizations it bartered away its
right. A resolution was adopted
pledgiug to Cleveland aud Hen
dricks "a full, fair and honorable
support." It is felt, however, that
Tammany's eourse in putting out a
straight ticket means a deal with
the Republicans a probable pur
pose to trade Cleveland off on elec
tion day.

One of the greatest political
demonstrations ever witnessed in
Ohio was a Democratic mass meet
ing held at Columbus on the 25th
ult. Clubs and parts of clubs were
present from various parts of the
State. The crowd was variously
estimated from 75,000 to 100,000.
There was a torchlight procession
and a magnificent display of fire
works. Speaking was carried on
from four stands on the State House
square. ..-Among the speakers were

illoic itltilliguu Letter.
A Boston dispatch to the New
York "Evening Post" speaks of the
next of Air. Blaiue'.s letters which
Mr. Mulligan will publish if the
public interests seem to demand
their publication, ts containing one
that "would drive Blaine f rom the
country by the next, steamer."
The New Yoik "Times ' imagines
that "the author of this assertion
lias made a mistake, uot, perhaps,
iu overestimating the strength aud
sharpness of the letter, but in un
derestimating the 'thickness of Air.
Blaine's skin." The "Times?' adds:
''He is tough, and though proof
were given .of his breaking the ten
commandments seriatim, lie would
doubtless say that there was noth
ing iu the things charged inconsis
tent with the highest integrity and
honor."
The Departing Mother Hubbaid.
Emerson's woman who said that
she felt a serene' peace of mind in
being well dressed that teligiou
could not afford would hare hung
her head and lied to the attic had
she been caught iu a Mother Hub
bard. The geutlemanly critic will
hesitate, as a matter of politeness,
to say frankly what this volumi
nous, and exasperating - garment
reminds him of, and to what pecu
liar impulse it seems to him to owe
its origin; but he must, neverthe
less, keep thinking to himself that
in all essential particulars it cor
responds exactly to those ambigu
ous and strictly confidential robes
in which the dear creatures blush
ingly enfold themselves when they
lie down to pleasant dreams, and
that it surely became the fashion
for public use through a necesity
foi guarding the sex against idle
comment in cases of sleep walking.
No saiie woman, we should say,
would care to be immortalized by
sculptor or painter in the garb of a
somnambulist, or a person sudden
ly awakened to administer cordial
to the baby; aud common sense
suggests that one should not be
willing to assume an aspect during
life that one would not wish to be
knowu by after death, in the ten
der recollections of one's friends
or in the ironical and flippant ob
servations of one's enemies. It is
due to such reflections as these, we
dare say, that our women are pre
paring to dispense", with the Moth
er Hudbard. What they will adopt
in place of it we have no means of
conjecturing; but we may rest as
sured that it will jbe an improve
ment, for the simple reasou that
nothing could be less graceful and
attractive. llie age requires a
gow n that shall combine utility
with pieture.squeu'ess, and render
the wearer an object of sober
interest without iu any degree
hiding or trivializing those lighter
charms of person and movement
which it-is the. right as well as the
duty of every woman to specify
for -the common pleasure of the
world. Fashion has its delightful
and beneliciciit uses, it only we
can contrive to keep it within log
ical and philosophical bonds. The
going of Mother Hubbard is there
fore an unmistakable and substan
ttal gam lor truth ami progress;
ami that we never have to look
upon its like again outside of the

quiet bosom of the family, should

tuous and intelligent citizen. St.

BILL AEP'S TALK.
HE IS PROUD OP THE NEW
SCHOOL HOUSE.
SOFT SOAPS GOV. BROWN.
Our country school house is fin
ished, and we are proud. The
teacher has been installed and the
children are gathering in- That
school house may be historic iu
time to come, for some One or more
of the scholars may wake up to the
world about something. There is
a heap to learn yet. The myster
ies are not yet unfolded, 'That
school house may be the alma
mater of some wonderful genius,
and then we who have stuck to it
will be proud. It is no losr cabin
no sardine but a good, large, styl
ish academy. We were all poor in
money, though rich in children,
and so we foraged around for help
and we got it. There is nothing
like strategy about doing these
things. We strained ourselves
fust, and then we foraged on the
town and got a little here and a
little there, and it counted up. I
useu to uve iu a town and the
country foraged on me aud so I
am just playing for even. Judge
Underwood nsed to say that he
had stock in all the country
churches and country schools from
Tugalo river to the Tallapoose.
Well, it is bread cast upon the
waters, I reckon, and will return
to us after many days. I don't
know how many, but after many
days. 1 don't mind begging for a
church or a school house. When
we found we couldent make up the
money we sat down and wrote a
letter to Governor Brown aud flat
tered him up about his great zeal
in educating the people, aud we
laid it on pretty thick, but delicate
very delicate aud I mentioned
his irou mines that he is operating
close by, and how he was building
np a thriving settlement and we
looked to him for - aid in the good
enterprise, and I told him what we
lacked, and sure enough he wrote
back forthwith and thanked us for
our compliments and regretted
that he could not help us, ano said
he had already contributed all he
could to such things, and was still
receiving just such letters every
day from all parts of the country
and he had to put them in the
waste basket unanswered or else
hire an extra clerk to answer them,
and it was his advice for us to cut
down the house to the money, and
his observation was that those
people who depended upon them
selves got along the best, and so
he wound up his letter with an
assurance of his personal regard,
etc., etc., and signed his name.
But after he had signed it I reckon
he read over the compliments
agaiu, for a man will do that, and
then he added a pbstscrip saying:
"On reflection I have coucluded to
send you fifty dollars." I thought
we could get him, and so we dident
mind about his lecture and his ad
vice. The school house was what.
we were after.
Well, we wanted a good, large
heating stove and some nine, and
while I was in Atlanta, the other
day, I v'sited those great and good
men, Huuuicutt & Bellingrath, aud
opened up to their generous minds
distant views ot a broad philan
thropy and what a luxury it was
to make these investments that
contribute so much to the comfoit
of little children, and how luture
generatious would rise up and call
lhem blessed, and so they surren
dered it. It was a quick way of
getting rid of me, and so they
gave us the stove, and they did it
gracefully and cheerfully, and our
people are grateful aud will make
returns after many days yes,
many days. I was amused at a
good, Christian lady, who, net long
ago, looked up over her spectacles
at me and said, ''Major, what kind
of a man is Jay Gould V
I told her I dident know him,
but I reckon he was a right clever
man; and she then told me she had
written him a letter more than a
mouth ago asking him to give the
church tetl dollars for a chandelier
and a carpet, aud, says she, as she
laid her knitting in her lap, "Ma
jor, he hasent even answered my
letter. Do you reckon he ever got
it. Governor Brown sent us ten
dollars, and they say that Mr.
Gould isricher than he is."
Well, we are all right now aif?l
the Ironville academy is open to
the community. Our teachers are
going to teach rudiments and good
behavior and good manners and
music, ana DaseDau, too, i recKon.
They are not yet prepared to teach
evolution and high science. That
evolution business seems to have
droke out in a new place, and is
vexing our wise men mightily.
Science is a good thing, aud I feel
a great interest in in knowing all
about Adam, for I reckon he is my
ancester, but it is of more impor
tauee how his descendants behave
themselves in this sublunary world.
We have a big meeting going on
here, and I heard a man say,
"Well, I'm not going. I've got no
confidence in these preachers.
What 1 want to know first of all
is where did Cain get his wife.
That's what bothers me." Aud so
- ) be is going about loose, aud every
time anybody talks to him about
religion he savs: "Where did Cain
get his wile."
But I thiuk the new doctrine of
evolution that has got into the
church is a right fair compromise,
for it maintains that while old
father Adam evoluted and come
from a monkey old mother Eve
dident. She was made all of a
sudden aud all at once, pure and
beautiful and lovely, and had no

But the trouble about the whole
business is that we can't help it,
and what troubles me more than
all is tljat I am one of 'em. I al

made me meaner than I want to

Beecher's
Reasons lor
Cleveland.
YoUng For
The Republicans have brought a
terrible pressure on Henry Ward
Beecher to force him to desert
Cleveland, but to no purpose as will
be seen by his letter which follows
and which our readers will doubt
less enjoy reading.
Mr. Beecher recently received a
letter from which the following ex
tracts are made :
September 15, '84.
Rev. Heney AVakd Beechee :
Dear Sir: I have long been
thinking of writing you, and your
letter of yesterday in the "Evening
Post," which I take, has made me
bold to do so. I am a young un
married man, just commencing the
practice of my profession aud some
what ambitious for honorable polit
ical preferment. It seems
to me that we young men are read
ing a most terrible lesson in your
course of action as to the political
candidates for the Presidency.
Would you have us believe that we
may become common libertines and
flaunt our vices in the popular gaze
aud still confidently ask the peo
ple for their suffrages!
In your letter to the "Post" you
speak in strong terms against
Blaine, but can you advise young
men to vote for Grover Cleveland f
If the greatest and most eloquent
of christian ministers favors the
election of a conceded libertine,
pray tell me what is to be expected
from young men who find that such
acts are not to be visited with rep
robation trom those to wnom we
have looked lor years for counsel in
morals and religion.
It seems to me that no great
christian minister has ever so pal
pably held the destinies ot good
morals and religion m his hands as
you do at this moment. .
My only point is that when chris
tian ministers seek to gloss over or
disregard such sins as it is couced
ed Grover Cleveland is guilty of,
the moral bonds ot society are looS'
eniug aud moral chaos is not very
far distant.
Your obedient servant.
To which Mr. Beecher made the
following reply :
Peekskill, N. Y., Sep. 16, 1884.
Deae Sie. When you are older
and have had a larger experience
of public affairs and political ethics,
you will regard the letter sent to
me with far different eyes than you
do now.
Who told you, and by what au
thoritv do yon state that Cleveland
is a libertine a notorious liber
tine? Do you regard slander as
part ot morality! Tnat story is
slander. Not a particle of evidence
has been adduced to prove that
Cleveland is now an immoral man
That he fell in one instance, twelve
years ago, he frankly admits. Al
the stories ot coutinueu dissipation
have been searched and traced to
tht grogshop aud the brothel. Not
a single witness has even pretend
ed that he knew anything person
ally, and only hearsay evidenoe has
been bruited by men who ought to
be ashamed to offer their ears to
dens of infamv and to suffer their
tongues to commit adultery with
notorious lies.
As it regards the sin of Cleveland
in the Halpin case, when divested
of the exaggerations so far from
being an encouragement to sin it
will be a vivid example and warn
ins to ambitious young men to
avoid evil and to maintain socia
purity. Cleveland has already suf
fered loss, mortification and dam
age for the commission ol a griev
ous sin, and to day it stands in his
path with a rod of chastisement,
and if he fails to gain the highest
place in this Government it will be
by reasou of that very jtransgres
sion, i"hat he will be elected
both hope and believe, but the
chief danger to his ambition to-day
similes from that sin of twelve
years ago. Is there no warniDg
that No voice to young men!
If I believed Cleveland to be
libertine I would drop him instant
ly. 1 do not believe it. I regard
him as a grossly slandered man lor
political purposes, and that abuse
instead ot deterring me trom sup
pi)! ting him, appeals very , strongly
to mv generosity and cnivairy,
That he is a prudent man, honestly
and earnestly desiring to minister
every trust faithfully and loyally.
have no doubt. My message to
every young man is, beware of his
mistake of years ago and imitate
Lis virtues of to-day.

ROMANTIC STORY.
-:o:
MILLIONAIRE STEWART'S
EARLY LIFE.
HIS BROKEN ENGAGEMENT.
A Cleveland, Ohio, letter to the
Philadelphia "Press" says: Near
Lake View cemetery, which con
tains the dust of Garfield, carefully
guarded by a detatchnieiit of Uui
ted States regulars, is an old bury
ing ground formerly used by the
people residing in the country east
of Cleveland. Among other lots is
one containing three green mounds,
careiuuy Kept and planted, over
each of which is a modest slab of
white marble. On one is cut the
name William Morrow, on another
that of Abbie Morrow. The old
sexton, a kindly man, with long
gray hair, said: "I knew the Mor-
rows well. William and David
were brothers, and Abbie, their
sister, kept house for them. They
were nice, quiet people, although
somewhat peculiar. The sister was
never known to smile, and no won
der, for she died of a broked heart.
The Morrows lived uear Belfast.
Ireland, on a little farm they called
ihe Knock." They were in com
fortable circumstances, had been
well educated, and were Presbyte
rians in faith. Near them in Ire-
aud lived the father of the late A.
Stewart. The two families were
intimate, and the children grew up
together. Young A. T. Stewart
and Abbie Morrow were childish
overs, although Stewart was sev
eral years her senior.
When a lad Stewart, as you well
know, lelt Ireland, and made his
way to New York to better his for
tune. He corresponded regularly
with his little sweetheart across the
waters, aud it was understood that
when he had prospered he was to
go back to Ireland and marry the
ass he had lelt behind. Years
rolled by and death came. First it
took away Abbie's father, and a
few months later the mother, una
ble to bear her grief, followed her
husband. The children retained
the farm aud prospered fairly.
Stewart's father was dead, and his
old mother lived on her little place
and strained heieyes hopefully to
ward America., Finally tdie died,
and Stewart went to Ireland to set
tle the estate.
While there he renewed his en
gagement with Abbie Morrow, and
spoke so well of the United States
that William and David Morrow
were induced to sell their farm, and,
with Abbie, came with their former
friend to New York. Stewart real
ized about 500 from his mother's
estate, which he invested in Irish
mens aud laces. These he had
shipped to New York, and they
formed the foundation for the great
establishment that afterwards bore
his name.
The Morrows had mends in
nortnern onto, and so they came
to Cleveland. They purchased a
farm iu East Cleveland township,
built a comfortable house and were
soon known as substantial citizens
This was nearly sixty years ago,
They seldom visited the village of
Cleveland, unless it was to pur
chase supplies or dispose ot pro
duce.
A few months after thev came to
Ohio A. T. Stewart paid them a
visit. He was cordially welcomed
as the promised husband of the sis
ter ; remained a few days and re
turned to New York. This was
the last Abbie Morrow ever saw of
him. He was doing well in New
York, and was rapidly making a
fortune. His letters became briel
and less frequent, and finally ceas
ed altogethr. Finally the news of
his marriage reached the brothers.
They kept it from their sister as
long as they could, but were at last
compelled to tell her of her lover's
inconstancy. She was too high-'
spirited to eddle her grief ' among
her acquaintances, and kept about
ber household 'duties in a quiet
manner for thirty years. Then
they laid her away on a hillock in
the center of the farm. ' Alterward
her remains were taken up and in
terred here. Every year during
her life Stewart sent her a silk
dress, but she never wore any of
them. As fast as she received
them they were laid away un
touched, and when she died the
brothers returned them all to the
doner. She received many offers
of marriage, but never again put
her trust iu man. , '
Dr. Yort' Cornered.
TRICK WHICH HE HAS IJKtN
PRACTICING TO DECEIVE THE
PEOPLE EXPOSED BY CAPT.
COKE.
Since Dr. York left Charlotte he
has met with an exposure that wilt
prove damaging to what little pros
pect he had left of being elect
ed, and that will be read with in
terest by those of our readers who
have heard one of his speeches. As
alt who ever heard one of his
speeches will remember, Dr. York
dwelt considerably upon his course
in-Gdnferess in endeavoring to get
the internal revenue tax repealed, t
and read two bills that he had iu- j
troduced in the House to that
effect. The first bill being killed,
so he explained, he drew up a mod
ified bill providing that certain
portions of the revenue tax be ap
plied to educational purposes, and
that, to do all in his power to
secure its passage, he appeared be
fore the House committee aud . ap
pealed to the chairman in person
to put it through. When Dr. York
went over all this at Albemarle
last Monday, the thought struck
Capt. Coke, who Was representing
Gen. Scales, that there was some
thing wrong about that matter, and
he asked Dr. York wbe it was that
he had appeared before that com
mittee. Dr. York's reply was that
it was on the llth of December.
In his reply Capt. Coke charged
York with practicing a deception
--NUMBEK 3G
upon tue people, xnere was, on
the llth day of December, no com
mittee for him to appear before,
and consequently his statement
that he had appeared before the
committee was false.
Capt. Coke charged York with
practicing a fraud on the people in
another instance. He had told
them that after drawing up one bill
aud presenting it before the House.
where it died au ignominious death.
and seeing that there was uo fur
ther hope for that bilL he drew ui
a motlified bill in place of the first
one presented, and tried trf-get it
passed. This, Capt. Coke charged,
was iaise, because both or Dr,
iorii s uuis were dated the same
x . . . .
uay, luecemoer litni and were
numbered 1188 and 118'J. So that
me nrss otu could not nave gone
its course through Congress aud
been killed aud another drawn mi
the same day.
Dr.. lork denied the charge that
he had uot appeared before the
committee, and Capt. Coke reitera
ted his charge that York had not.
Investigation shows that Capt.
uoKe was correct, and that the eom
mittees were not announced until
Tuesday, December 24th, the day
before Christmas.
In the face of this exposure Dr,
i oi k read his resolutions again at
lroy, the next day, when Capt
Coke produced the requisite data
and showed up the whole thing on
York. These facts are brought to
us by a gentleman who met Capt.
Coke in Wadesboro ou Wednesday
night last, and to whom Capt Coke
related them just , as they are told
us. Capt. Coke also tohi of his ex
posure of York in his speech at the
hotel in Wadesboro ou the night in
question. Charlotte "Observer."
Got. Cleveland's Sister.
An Albany (N. Y.) letter say
say : "Who shall be the next mis
tress of the White House V This
query doubtless will excite the
jealous curiosity of many a society
woman now reigning supreme at
the head of an exclusive set until
after the presidential election is
over, it is not an agreeable mat
ter for an established leader of fe
male society to have herself or
fashionable hobbies dethroned.
Politics prove a potent arbiter of
such changes nowadays; hence the
great female interest in the forth
coming election, subsequent to
which in the event of Cleveland's
election, an infinite revolution may
be reasonably anticipated, since
the bachelor President's sister
would become the leading lady of
the land. Mrs. Hoyt does not
reach' the standard of au ultra
fashionable woman. She is a thor
oughly common sense jierson, im
bued with a strict view of honor,
religion and philanthropy. She is
a finelooking lady of gentle femi
nine ways, dignified and intellectu
al rather than haughty or pedan
tic. She is a kind friend to the
suffering poor of every nationality
and weed, but she dbes not permit
public announcements of her liber
ality Doubtless she will set vari
ous examples of economy, domes
ticity and humanitarianism for our

is particularly kind to the poor
friendless emigrats who come from
abroad to seek their fortunes here.
and it would not be a matter of
surprise if she yet founded a public
institution -for these improvident
people in the city of New York
In attire Mrs. Hoyt is simple and
stylish, her favorite costume being
a plain black silk. She seldom
wears any jewelry save tiny soli
toire earings and her plain gold
wedding ring. She is an eas

The State Exposition.
The Exposition was formally
opened Wednesday of last week.
There were thousands of people in
Raleigh aud the city was gay with
flags and bunting. There were 21
military? companies and five bands
in the procession. At 9:30 a. m.,
Gov. Jarvis tendered Senator
Hawley, of Connecticut, the ora
tor of the occasion, a formal re
ception at the executive office. At
10:.'0 the procession started to the
grounds. The heat was intense.
Seventeen military men were over
come by it aud dropped out of
ranks. The parade was very im
posing. At the grounds a band
played "America" and Rev. Robt.
Burwell offered a prayer. Gov.
Jarves, in a brief, but handsome
speech, introduced Senator Haw
ley who delivered an oration two
hours in length aud highly pleas
ing in character. Then l'resident
Primrose declared the Exposion
open. Gov. Jarvis was escorted
into the main building where he
turned the steam on the big en
gine and started the machinery.
Though the arrangement of all the
exhibits is not complete the dis
play is a very handsome one. The
heat and dust interferes greatly
with the pleasure of visitors.
To Repair Damageh. Dear
lady, there is probably no use tell
ing you that fashionable life in a
great city is a rough one on your
beauty. Late hours, loss of sleep

RADICAL SLANDER
:o:-
HOW NORTHERN REPUBLI
CANS LIE ABOUT THE SOUTH.
'BAREBCUED N EGRO."
The Rutland (Vt.) "Herald'' has,
as its leading editorial, one of the
most slanderous articles we have
seen during the campaign. The
article is headed "Barbecuod Ne
gro," and endeavors to show that
the negro is ill uced aud badly,
treated in the South. It attempts
by portraying the many abuses
heaped upon him to restrain tlie
Northei n voter from the Democratic
ticket. It says of the Democratic
party of the South: "'It Stauds for
the brains, the courage, the SATAN
IC ENERGY aud IMMORAL AUDA
CITY of the Democratic party."
The article goes ou and proves(t)
by Euglish History that the South
is ready at a moments notice to
rise up iu 'arms against the Union.
The "Herald" says:
"Wo are but nineteen years dis-
.....4. I . . i .
we are hasty in assuming the hos
tile memories of that war are a
creed outworu with ; the South.
Human natuie is to-day very much
what it was iu the 17th eeutury.
If the bitter memory of 10C8 in
England was a bristling, armed
and almost victorious head nearly .
sixty years afterwards, why need
we natter ourselves prematurely
tlilt. au-ut- tf fli.k ftdsint-l, ia th
longer a dread and a liossible
damnation. If it lie asked .what
evidence we have of the smould
ering spirit of hate for the flag and
all the freedom it implies at the
South, we answer, the speech and
action of Southern public opinion
justify our national anxiety and
dread of civil danger slowly
organizing for coming opportunity."
We are usually chartitable
enough to suppose that the reason
the editors of the North write such
barefaced falsehoods and misrepre
sent us so persistenly, is because
of their iguorance.- The' people of
the North the masses have been
led to look uiou us as a set of bar
barians, who live principally upon
barbecued nigger." They have
been led to believe that the life of
a Northern man was unsafe in
any routuern htate and that ne
groes had to hide in swamps and
waste places to keep from
being slaiu and stretched
stretched upon coals of fire and
urenared for the aDiireciative and
a l - -
fastidious tooth ot the Southern
outlaw. as they look upon every
man in the South who has too
much self resjiect to put himself
on the level with the negro and
vote the Republican ticket.
We usually, say attribute their
misrepresentations to their, igno
rance, but in the case of the "Her
ald" this wild not do. Mr. A. II. J
Tuttle, managing editor of the
"Herald,1' spent several days in
Kins ton last winter, aud his wife
and son spent . the .winter here.
They were treated with every
courtesy, aud we were foolish
enough to believe that he .would
go home and tell and write the
truth about what he saw and heard
here. We were mistaken, however.
We would like to inform editor
Tuttle and all other defamers and
slanderers of the South that
we people of the South are uot
fond of . "barbecued nigger." Per
haps he feasted on that dish the
Sunday he went deer hunting on
Brock's sand hill, near Kinston.
"Barbecued nigger" is a dish for
Northerners strictly. Come down
next winter and partake of it.if
you like, friend Tuttle. Kinston
