what did he do and when did

; i stions asked in the house

remain unanswered ?
The most ratifying feature
of this new work is the promi
nence .given to the Southern
people. The time seems to
have arrived when these liber
al Xortht rn publishers say to
tfie South : 'We are one people;
your reconbis as good, as' ours
and shall have an equal place.'

authors, inventors, soldiers and

work. l--pecial attention has
been given to the statesmen
and geuerais who figured promi

th" coiiiiii;:r,.ii It was soon dis
covered that he had no mili
tary sense vljia;ever, and the
general was notified that this
new captain would -make mis
chief and ought to be reduced
to a private. Forrest had him
brought to his tent and said :
'Captain Jinks, if you and your

this here our country, and on
woods, and our fields, and our
cendanto are all over the
and and have proved to be a
splendid cross. Their ancestors
brought with them prudence,
perseverance, self-reliance ana
a love of law and order, and, in
most casf.s, they: have trans
mitted these virtue to their
children. They were generally
merchants or schoolteachers.
The merchants prospered and
many of the teachers became
lawyers and" editors and at
tained distinction, and were re
warded by our people with the
highest honors in the land.
In my own . town, where I
was born and reared, I recall
Rawson, and Norton; and Smith
and-Maltbee, who were mer-
chants, and Hall and Wildman,
who were physicians of renown,
and Chester, a learned and fear
less lawyer, who periled his
good name by defending the
yankee missionaries. Butler
and Worcester, who were charg
ed with being spies and in
cendiaries. I remember ' Miss
Cooley, who taught the" first
school I ever attended. She was
from New England, and was a
sister to llollis i Cooley. of
Rome:, one of the purest and
best men I ever 'knew a man
who never ha,d a lawsuit nor an
unpleasantness with anyone
during a long and active life,
and yet accumulated a large
estate. He reared a family of
beautiful daughters - who as
wives and mothers grace the
homes of some of our most
notable citizens. Then there
was Miss Ryan and Miss Kel
logg and Miss Andrews and
Miss Wellslaud Mr. Wilcox and
Mr. Spencer, all of them from
.the isorth, and : who taught
school in our town. The yan
kees were the pioneers in
Southern education'. Hiram
Warner, our learned chief jus
tice for thirty years, was one of
them, Dr. Alonzo Church was
another, and so was Tom But
ler King and Colouel -Akerman,
who became Grant's attorney
general. He was a man without
fear and without reproach and,
notwithstanding his anti-slavery
convictions, he numbered
among his friends Joseph JJen
ry Lumpkin, Judge Hutchins
aiid many otliers of like stand
ing and renown. He was a pro
found lawyer, a pure patriot
and a good citizen. The time
was when, like General Long
street, he. was 'put under the ban
for accepting office under Grant,
but, happily for them and for
us, that time has passed. Of
all these Northern educators
Wm. H. Seward is the only one
recall who went back and
raducsd our. people. In fact,
most of them became, the own
ers of slaves, and, like Chief
Justice arner, they were nev

which they were deprived of

justice denounced it to the last
as highway robbery and

At last the agony of choosing
men to lead the Democrat!'
forces in thisState is over. Af
ter all the blowing and howlin?j

ernor Hill, not one of thehnn
dred delegates to the late Con

three years ago when Hill bea
a very populai opponent, Con
gressman Davenport.
The attitude of the two Dem
ocratic organizations on tbe lo
cal offices is like that of two
pchool-boys with chips on their
shoulders spoiling for a fight,
and yet a little nervous about
striking the first blow. The
chances of their making up and
pulling together, are certainly
not great, so far as appearances
go. The present signs Indicate
that Mayor Hewitt will be re
nominated by the County De
mocracy and indorsed by a Cit

a mask for the Republican vote.
This combination of ' coarse
would prove invincible.
There is still some discussion
over the Maine episode. While
Democracy has little to show
for the election, th leaders do
not feel dLxourared. At the
National Headquarters the pos
itive statement was made that
the National Committee put no
funds in the State while a large
amount of boodle was wasted
on it from the enemy's strong
box. Kven then, the managers
say, Mr. Blaine was unable to
(tain anything over the election
four years ago.

at Headquarters about the prog'

white men in their own party
are kept continually apologis
ing for their color to the
"brother in black." The fol
lowing as a part of the report
of the Jones county Republican
convention as published in the
New Berne Journal, will give
our readers an idea of politics
in that section of this district:
W. M. Barber, col., presented
his claims and the black man's
claims to office strongly before
the Radical primary on Satur
day. He said we have now
been waiting 23 years and yet
the white man says not now,
wait a little while longer. Now
said he 1 am tired of wating
the white man's time. They
have had all the offices, gone to
Raleigh, (hear the gentleman
seized the lappel of his coat,
threw his heat back) and have
strutted with all the money
while we have done the voting.
But, said he, I don't wish any
black man to expire for a bond
ed office yet awhile for no col
ored man could give a bond,
but as to the legislature no
bond there and now let us strike
for it and secure it. (Cheers. )

The spirit ol insurrection to

these office seekers until it has
grown to an alarming extent.
