our arbiter iljantiirum.
Neither will it serve the purpof e of
Gen. Barringer in extenuation of fcuch
heinous sins, both political aud lite-
rary, to attempt to call in. as he do-:
to-day as his compurgators, the good
! people of Mecklenburg and Cabarro-i.
For wo can toll him that we have a fat
h gher reepcot for them than he has,
and know tbeni too well not to know
n what estimation he is held by ail c:f
them whosq good opinion, ia worth
havtLg. We of course p.peak of his po
htujtil ind not of his personal charac
tr, hich latter we dj not impugn.
Still can we aiiow him to plead his
works of uuperei oration by poiut.uguH
he does to his service in behalf of a
coi -e for which we both fought and
which we, at ionnt, have never de-er;d.
For as Brigadier Geeeral of Uonb del
ate cavalry he did hitdut, and he did
no mo e. ytilt in this matter we are
disposed to indulge him a little ai d
cuu'd well p r.tou ev-?n greater se;f
i tudoion than th.atin which he. p tim-. s
him elf, niueij ti is. ird.-rd, is the oulv

Jen. Birring'-r attemp-s to evde
the issue between us by going off into
the merit of the po!iiici writings of
John -Milton, upon whom no be.towa
much uunieaniux? praise, lid affvehs a
fondneos for the literature of the
Croniweliiftu era; but of any acquaint
ance with it he has yet given us no
pr-.'..f. But were it fr mure intimate
than we have every reas.m to thu k it
is still we shou!d not yield to him in
our admiration of it. For it b -asts at
Jeaft one other name which we
are dl-poned to rank, if lower, only a
little loTT3r than the name of John
Miiton, and that is the name of John
Bunyan. Such, too, is the estimate of
Macaulav. What says Geu, Barringer
then to a quotation from John Banyan?
We will give him or ewhich is germain
to the natter in hand and which we
believe our readers will think singu
larly apposite, and with which we will
for tho present take leavo of this con-c.nrovei-.
It is taken from the Pil
giMtn's Progress, and in order to put it
in the powrof Gen. Barringer to verify
our quotation we will mention that it
m to tie found in the Second Part puge
280 of our edition. Tho Pilgrim in
then speaking of the many human
absurdities that he had witnessed and
as the one most absurd of all, he teils
us cf "tho attempt of two men the
iisme of one was Mr, Fool, and of the
other, Mr. Want wit of washing an
Ethiopian with intent to make him
riifc. And th-j more thev washed
hint" says qua;nt ol 1 John "the blric-
ir rfof It would seem'' therefore
that in (.tt-nnptiog ' hus to whitewash
the negro that G iv. Chamberlnin and
G u. Birring 'r have b:en but c-T.y'ng
a v ry aneb'ut precedent We mnt ob-s-
rve that these two characfers in his al
legory are not di.itricui.' hod with the
usual felicity of Bittiym leavng it
qu:i:e in the power of G n. Birrii ger
to la-rsonate either one of tlu-m or
l oth at the emmn tim. But were they
more fdiarply drawn than they are, still
we should f.:ar that our readers would
accuse us "of rhetoric tl exiggeration
were wc to cill Gov. Chamberlain eith

The South has been a quiet, bat deep
ly int.-res-ted observer of the contest iu
these States. W all h-ped and be
lieved that Ohio nud Pennsylvania, as

now tht the flc;ht is over, and we be
gin to have the nmokt- clear away f;nm
the field, we begin to ask why was the
Democratic bauuer not b.'rne to vic
tory in Ohio an 1 in Pmi.sylvania. In
reply to this question, the short sight
ed, selfish, at-d inconsiderate policy of
the New Yotk Democracy looms up
and stands before us for an uumistak-
b'e answer. iammany, Tilden, aud
their respective coteries, were seized
with a severe attack of hard-money
dlsu a-e, and tried to make their indi

Tf Ohio had been ht a'one to fight her

The result in Pennsylvania was a

NOVEMBER 12. 1875.
AFRICANS AXU AFRICA.
For the benefit of our colored pop
ulation, wa copy the following sensi
ble article from the Mobile Register :
Trt f l.a lata. l"i.tJ "t !
J iu.. taiu uviuitiu uvtl Vviltlli it
held at Augusta, Georgia, Mr. H. H
Turner advocated the emigration of
the African r ice to their nitive heath,
on the ground that they could get all
"the rights" they wanted there and
culd not get them here.
It is not in evidence that the prop
osition WK3 very enthusiastically re
ceived : and more than one speaker de
clared in effect that l.e preferred tho
American ills he had, over any prema
ture African ones that he kuew not of.
So tho matter went over to a future
convention; pending the resu-ts of
Stanley s Expedition, doubtless.
Now, wo have only one word to our
colored friends, upon the subject of
their everlasting discontent. If thev
do not like America well enough to
stay, and prefer Africa well enough to
go. by all means let them emitrrate.
If their knowledge of that tropic laud
induces them to believe that there
thev can work less and raise more
loaf more and get better paid, or hunt
wild chickens with greater recompense
tnan tame, then let them not stand
upon the order of tbe-ir going, but go
at once. There is not one thing to
put bar, or hind-ranee, in their way.
be war was fought to let them think
for them 'elves; Hie pub'ic debt was
piled up to let them -mijrte at their
own sweet will.
But, on tho other hand, we more
than sn.speet the Hou. Turner of hum
buggery in his proposition; that he
was "on y talking ti Baucombe. We
honestly believe that be aud his sort
Sir, better off here in every way; and
that they knew it all tlie time. Io
which case we are earnestly lnipt-lleu
to second the St. Louis "Lepubtiean,
when it says of this subject: Let them
cease their everlasting grumbling and
go to work like ot her people. I heir
complaints have become an unendur
able nuisance, aud must be abated
else there may be an involuntary emi
gration one of these days.
Upon the souedness of that advice
there is no question, aud we remind
the colored men hereabouts that they
had better take it. Thev make their
situation no more prosperous, and
surely more uncomfortable, by con
stant grumbling; and they know as
well as we do that they find this coun
try too free and too easy to subsist in
for auy eerious thoughts of leaving
it.

General Barrtn-rer and the Jeurnal
Charlotte, Oct 29, 1875.
Editor Daily Journal, Wilmington.
Gkxts: In your article of the 27th'
you fall into an error, which I must
cornet before replying to other mat
ters. You assume lat I favor "mixed
sen wis. " In the Convention I voted
against both mixed schools aud the
inter-marriage of the races; and have
always opposed such meaaures. As
to the other points, I answer:
I. That Milton's theories of Free
Government did not have a fair show
ing in Eugland. He was far in ad
vance of his time. But all historians
unite in applauding the order that pre
vailed in England in the midst of civil
war, and dwell with admm.tion on
the unrivalled splendor tbt crowned
her name aud arms daring the br ef
years of the Commonwealth. Aud
when Charles the 2d returned to hi
throne in 1660, the world never saw
such oppression, suoh corruption, such
profligacv and such National degrada
tion. jiAiitou and his Kepubhcau
friend-, however, clung to their con
victions and always declared that re
action and royality were no remedies
for the evils of the tims. And sura
enuugu, ru 1668, England realized a
counter revolution that carried her
back measurably to the Free Princi
ple of Mutou and the Commonwealth
It is thess same principles of universal
freedom and citizenship that lie at the
nottora and the base of our American
Institutions. These principles often
lead to excesses aud crime; but after
II, they are the surest guarantees for
pe?ice, order and prosperity.
II. I deny that Macau iay ever re
tracted his article on Miiton. The
extracts you made from his snbseqnent
writings only prove his then distrust
of universal -suffrage; but rather con
firm my conclusions as to his liberal
seutiments. When Macau lay forty
years ago, in England, advocated the
ballot for "every decent farmer and
shop-keeper," he was far on the road
to popular suffrage.
III. You nay: "It ia not against
negro freedom, but against negro
power, that we have declared war."
1 frankly admit the abuse of power by
the negro Governments South. I go
further and declare that it is a fearful
blunder, not to say crime, f tr these
people and their ignorant allies to as-
kume to rule and govern. But, this is
all owing, as I firm'y believe, to the
mistaken policy and criminal blunders
of Southern Statesmen, in blindly op
fKieiug any kind of political rights to
these four million of people. And
pardon me, but you deceive your
selves, when you suppose that certain
elements in the Democratic party
mean no hostility to the negro. In
G'KjtgiB, as a race, the negroes have
not held power, and yet tnonsands of
them have been disfranchised. In my
humble opinion, their freedom would
not last a day or be worth a cent to
th' m, without the ballot. Dating the
fitting of the Convention one of your
Democratic papers openly and boldly
urged the majority to "disregard the
lestrictious" and "limit the suffrage"
iu "voting on the amendments!" And
this would be done, not at the expense
of the negro alone, bnt to tbe disfran
chisement o th ous -aid 9 of white men.
Such is the violet ce of party hate.
No SirB ! The true remedy m this:
Let Democrats ceae to question the
udgi o hi right to the ba: lot and all
otb.tr political rights, and then lean
:o treat him and deal with him as any
other voter, and "negro power ' is at
an end.
IV. As to your allusions to myself
personally, I must decline any special
reply. J Uve heard s much stun
about what I owe my former comrades
in arms, that I cannot, but smile at the
silliness of such arguments. My old
commands all bear testimony to my
unfaltering and unselfish devotion to
them and to our cause, through four
oug vears of unexampled Buttering
and tc-il. Manv of them now eympa-
this with me politically, and many
others are at least waking tip to the
huge hnmbuggery and injustice of
uea intolerance. They remember

W8ys have, no doubt, given credetca
to the rumor, but- the poor fellow had
a big misfortune once, and it has ren

and everybody."
"He ceriaiuly is a singular looking
character," I replied. "If this story
is interesting I should like to hear
it."
"Wait until we get under way, '
replied Perkins, atd I'll tell it to you.

A tiemendous equirt of tobacco
inice and a nod of the head was the
only reply the mate received, and the
NO. 44
queer man gazed np the river. As
soon as we were once more steaming
over the muddy waters, I sat down be
side the captain and reminded the
mate of his promise. The following
were his words as nearly as I can re
member them:
About a half mile above the spot
where we wooded, there once stood a
snug house, and a nicely cultivated
patch that belonged to Andy Bobbins.
He was a pretty industrious fellow, as
the times went. His wife was a good
woman, but, like all girls who live iso
lated lives, she had very little idea of
tne world; and, beyond seeing a pass
ing steamboat and her passengers, sha
had no idea of what the world was
like.
Andy waa a great hunter, and you
couldn't find a better rifle shot than
he was anywhere along the Mississippi.
It was astonishing the number of
squirrels that man would shoot iu a
clay; if I told you, you wouldn't be
lieve me. He always had his riflo with
him, even when he'wentout for a stroll
with his wife.
Andy had one child, an infant about
a year old, when this trouble came on
him. I don't thn.k there was any
thing he doted oa like that little thing
he used to carry in his arms to look at
the boat wooding.
It was an afternoon in October, when
the leaves were ju3t tinted with yellow
and red, that Andy, with his child in
his arms and his wife by his side,
started out to take a walk. The after
noon was calm as sleep. I recoliect it
well. Not a cloud was visible, and
not a breath moved the water or stirr
ed a leaf. The stillness was deep
almost to melancholy, and it seemed
as if nature had sunk to a repose from
which she could hardly be awakened.
Andy and his wife walked down by
the river for a couple of miles, and
seated themselves beneath tome large
trees, where they passed the afternoon,
aud it was uot until his wife called his
attention to the growing darkness that
a storm was at hand.
"It certainly is very dark." he said,
"though iU not sunset yet. Come,
wife, we must hasten home, or baby
will have a wet skin."
They arose and commenced to walk
hastily. Evdy instant the darkness
setmed to increase with uncommon
rapidity, and Andy felt very anxious
for his ohild. There was not a breath
of air and the water was still and mo
tionless ; but some bright flashes in
the west and a distant mutterine of
thunder warned them to hurry on .
aster and faster traveled Andv and
his wife, and now his house was in
sight and h would soon reach it. .He
laughed and hugged his boy to his
ceart. At length the house was
gaiued, and Andy stood on the thresh
bold, having given the baby to its
mother. He was gazing at a queer
shaped cloud that was coming down
upon them very fast. It looked like
an inverted mountain.
"What's the matter ?" called out hia
wife. "What are you looking at,
Andy ?"
He did not reply at once, but cf ter
awhile he said : "Dou't undress the
baby, and den't vou take your things
off either."
'Why, what's the matter, Andy ?"
again questioned his wife.
Well, he replied in alow voice.
'T'm afraid we are going to have a
whirlwind, and it may be necejsarv to
seek the old cave just back of the
house, especially if yonder cloud be a
waterspout."
Mrs. Bobbins went to the door and
gazed westward; as she did so, her
cheeks grew pale.
I do believo you are correct. she
said; "perhaps we bad better tro to the
cave at once."
Before her husband could reply the
storm burst upon them with all its fu
ry, and they were compelled to retreat
indoors. Mrs. Bobbins clasped her
child to her arms, while the building
rocked as if it were at sea. She gazed
out of the window only to see giant
trees uprooted and carried through the
air on the wings of the torna io.
"I3 it not awfal?" she asked, with
trembling breath.
Andy nodded; he was trying to trace
the course of the c'oud, but the air
was so thick with leaves and darkness,
that he was not able to 6ee a dozen
yards beyond him.
All at once there came an awful
crash, th9 house was lifted from its
foundation, and a piercein g sen a m cn me
from bis wife'B lips. The next mo
ment the dwelling burst wide up.-n,
and the wind crashed the wreck as
you would a handful of straw. I oiteu
have heard Andy relate his sensations
Tho first feeliug he had as ii he were
strngg i ig for his life at sea. A huge
wave dashed him high in the air, as bo
shrieked the name of his wife. He
heard the roar of waters iu hia ears
and then he became insen ble. He
never kcew how he escaped, but i-.-ti
preservation was wonderful. The fol
lowing day, he found himself nearly a
mile from his home, bruised aud sore.
As fas . .-i ho could he travelled to the
spot ui'- re his house had stood, and
looked i.pou tbe scence of desolation,
ninkine r ie woods ring with his von-e
as he oied uj on the name of hi- wife.
Foi Jays alter he traveled the euun
t. y th-ough. i-earching for those of iii s
iKiiii y who had been t-wt j.t into the
river by the whirlwind. Twus hmd
to make hon believe that he was atone
.11 tbe w : d, aud it was only wheu the
bodie of !ns wife and child were dis
covered, sinn days later that he
seemed to reaiizu LhefiCt.
Horn - bauds 011 the boat rutri-. d tie.
ani'oitunate ones near by where thelr
i) ali-s were found. Then it was that
Andy R lObius built the sorry old cab
n ycu behold. It stands within
t'ew fet-t of the ppot where tha grave oi
iiis wife and child are made, and nulli
ng can tempt the old fellow to leave
it.
.-.onie 3'ars go as eccentric b c'.e
or died in New Orleans and left a g :;d
c-s f his property to Andy Bobbins.
Many suprxi;ed this unexpected good
ack would induce Bobbins to leave
his solitude aud go to live in tli9city.
B it all snoh surmises were vain. The
!d feh'ow refused to leave his haunt.
nd heard of his good fortune without
tao least stppoarauee of exultation.
Andy Bobbins was still living a fe
months ago, and shoutd tho reader
pass along the Mississippi 11 ver at the
po ht 1 have indicated, he may see the
Ctbiu, aud peih ps, its occupant sit
'itig ou the river bank, looking as it
were fjr those who willnevr come to
revisit him this side of eternity.
