THE WRDOKI OF LENIBNCT.
The United States Government baa
shown but little wisdom in its treat
ment of those persons who were
banned by the war. Although it is
more tnan twelve years since inewar
closed, there are persons who were no
., , . c
niore guilty than the great mass of
. v -' Mrrs'r , i i
the Southern neonle. who are still
a. .
disfranchised and cannot hold
office. A wise, paternal government
will never prosecute a class for po
litical off enoee. Friendship and pa
triotism were never yet fostered by
sever it v and hostile legislation. The
j . . 0
surest and Quickest way of healing
w t
past offences by a general amnesty,
The history of the world furnishes a
hundred examples of the wisdom of
a magnanimous and merciful course,
and the evil results of a harsh, vin-
w
.. .
dictive and persecuting policy. Ihe J tfcat day we wrote an editorial head
student of ancient and modern his- gA "Still Wait and See." in which we
tory can draw at will example after
" i
example to illustrate the results of
the two opposing systems. It may be
safely affirmed that a course of se-
verity and croelty has invariably
brought forth bitter fruits. The En
glishtreatment of Ireland is a ready
example. The hostility of Irishmen
to England is undying. A perse
curing, illiberal, unwise policy has
implanted seeds of hatred that will
nroduce their perenriial crops. Scot-
land has been subjected to the opp
site policy with results altogether dif
ferent. In India the policy of the
English government is universally
paternal, kindly and judicious. The
good effects are seen in the growing
sentiment of attachment and fidelity.
Russia has treated its conquered na
tion with rigor generally, and the
consequence is, wherever there is op
portunity there is revolt.
Wfcout multiplying examples, and
tney jv; very numerous, we may
mentiofVhe mosf recent example f ur-
oaisnea current events. W e are

yet our owngdynment might team
a lesson' from tiifliLailjard, who has
not a very eavwbleWmeSn. history,
Whilst the Cuban involution or in-
surrection is raging, although it ks
givenjmmens trouble to the ome
government and caused a tremendous
outlay of money and life, the Span
ish govcrnaent has issued an amnes
ty to nearly all offenders. It has
done-more than this it has granted
pardon to all who have been ban
ished and has lifted, the embargoes
on the property of all insurgents who
may surrender, except the chiefs, or
those who, having been once. par
doned have again joined the "reDels."
This is done in the midst of war,
whibjfae rebellion is still raging with
almost undiminished violence.
The magnanimity and wisdom thus
. ..i t tT-i. i :i a
displayed by the Spanish Qoyjro-Jjrgg Dejao&tatfc. . wna,cf oomj
ment V a stern rebuke to oar own
Government. The one can afford to
be lenient and forgiving to rebels
With arms iti their hands! the other
cherishes an unforgiving spirit, twelve
years after the last rebel had laid
down his arms and become a mere
Citizen again. The Cuban rebels
have not shown any disposition to
abandon their purposes of revolution
have taken no oaths of fealty "afi 6! 4
devotion, and yet the broad aegis of
amnesty shields them from the pun
ishment that under a stern monarchy
would naturally await them. The
"Southern rebels," as Yankees de
light to call the people of the South,
have long ago quietly returned tin
the peaceful avocations and sub
scribed the oath of citizenship, and
yet after twelve years, during which
they have been subjected to the se
verest temptations, trials and perse
cutions, many of them are still
banned and denied the rights and
privileges of citizenship. Is this wise,
or merciful, or magnanimous? The
examples of history give a strong
negative.
We copy some views from the
New York Journal of Commerce
that are eminently just and kindly:
"President Hayes is believed to be a
friend of universal amnesty, and, if so, he
should not allow the extra, session to oass
without recommending it. His policy of
conciliation and home rule, exemplified in
South Carolina and Louisiana, would be
naturaUv supplemented by such a course.
We have seen how admirably the pkm of
not interfering in southern local affairs,
and of reposing confidence in the power
and disposition of the Southern people to
govern tnemseives, nas worsea in mese
two States. In every instance where the
President has treated the Southern people,
politically opposed to himself, fairly and
liberally, he has gained their warmest I
grauiuae, ana am increased weir uerunou
to the Union, and so has assisted in the res
toration of peace and prosperity. The Pre
sident's latest kindness of this sort was ad
vising the abandonment of the in
dictments found against most of the
men concerned in the Ellenton riots in
South Carolina. These were ordinary elec
tion broils, in which both parties were in
volved, but the majority of the men indict
ed belong to the Conservative side. Under
the last administration the trial of these
persons would have been allowed to pro
ceed, ana tney would nave been visited
wilu the pains and penalties of the violated
election law. Their conviction would have
been proper and deserved, we doubt not
But the object of the law is just as well at
tained if those who have recklessly broken
it are won over to its future observance by
the exercise of mercy. We predict that
they will make no more trouble: whereas.
had thev been tried and convicted and .pun
ished, they would only have been looked
uyuu t maityia uy uiauy ui hucu uvuwiai
frieagf fulure election disturbances
would not have been so easily prevented.
In the same spirit which has led the Presi-
dent to condoms this class of political of-
fenses, save in a few aggravated cases.be
should, at the opening of the extra session,
recommend universal amnesty."
The position of the News with respect to
the administration, and the duty of the De
mocratic party, is no longer an isolated
one in the field of North Carolina Journal
ism. We are sustained by many of the
beat and bravest of onr co-laborers. The
Wilminston Star, the Elizabeth City Scon

The Star took the position it now
occupies as early as March 25 th. On
encouraged the President to dare do
right, and to pacify the country by a
1 constitutional course. We declared
J our willingness "to hear him and to
Mudce bim fairly by his acts.' In-
deed, many days before this we had
given a similar promise. On March
28th we again wrote a leader on
"True Conservatism, in which we set
fqrth with some elaboration the po
sition which the Stab held and would
continue to hold to sustain the Pre
sident in all just measures of reform
and is his efforts to restore constitu
tional liberty.
Prom that day to this we have
given out no unoertain sound. We
have upheld the President in his mag
nanimous and patriotic efforts to
bring peace and prosperity to the
country, and have cordially applaud
ed him when he restored South Caro
lina and Louisiana to their places in
the United States and under the Con
stitution, and propose to sustain him
in all well directed and sincere efforts
to reform the civil service that has
been reeking with corruption for so
many years, and has brought so much
1 disgrace upon the country
The Stab was the first paper in
North Carolina to lead off in thb just,
candid and patriotic course. For
I weeks certain State papers comment-
I ed with marked disapproval upon its
o.ouise, to which we made no special
replj, feeling assured that in due
time vhe best papers in the land would
be onr illies, and that the reflecting
people of North Carolina would fully
sustain cur temperate and fair course
when it vas correctly understood.
We ham recently conversed with
at least alozen gentlemen from other
counties, fcd without seeking their
opinions h any way they expressed
their high gratification at the judi
cious courie pursued by ua in regard
to thepresant Federal Administra
tion. Some of these gentlemen are
of m arked intelligence, and all are
gratified at such expressions of ap
proval. We heard no adverse opin
ion whatever.
We, have already mentioned that a
large majority of the most influential
Southern papers have taken the same
view of the situation that we have
taken. The iist embraces the lead
ing dailies, with but few exceptions,
of the entire South,
We are glad that so many of onr
influential State contemporaries are
with us now in what we have said in
regard to the President. We are all
agreed in our purpose to support
Hayes when he does right, but to
maintain inviolable the Democratic
organization. In addition to those
papers mentioned in the above ex tract
from the News, we have published
views and opinions quite accordant
with what has appeared in the Star
from the Charlotte Observer, Gran
ville Mcho, and Danbury Reporter.
Let us continue to be fast to others
and true to ourselves.
"Be just and fear not:
Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy
country's,
Thy God's, and truth's. ":
Bourbonism is endowed with im
mortality. It riots in hatreds and
torgets nothing. A tew years ago
Duke de Bordeaux (better known aa
Count de Chambord.) was waited!
upon by a large number of persons;
of influence, and was informed that.
if he would agree to retain the pre
sent tri-coiored flag of France (red,
white and blue,) be would be placed
upon the throne. His father was as
sassinated in 1820, and he endeavored
10 reaon uie tnrone in 1830, issuing
a proclamation as Henry V., but he
was soon compelled to flee the King
dom, and became an exile from bis
country. He belongs to the elder
branch of the Bonrbon dynasty, and
is a most worthy representative. Like
his ancestors, he has never learnt a
single lesson from past experience.
, when offered the throne two or
three years ago, upon the single con
dition that he would respect the na
tional flag, he peremptorily declined,
declaring he would never agree to
any such arrangement that he would
use his old famUy flag or none.
How much De Chambord is like your
latter-day political Bonrbon, who
will take nothing from Hayes, how
ever prostrate the South is, because
he was counted in by (read. And
they call that polities. Whew 1
We open one Republican daily
and without searching, our eye falls
upon three crimes committed in the
North. In New York city a brutal
husband whilst assaulting his wife,
kills his only child. Bey. S. H. Mc
Ghee, of the Christian Church, is
found guilty of poisoning his wife,
and is sentenced to fourteen years in
the penitentiary. Rev. E. D. Hop
kins, of Vermont, is indicted by the
Grand Jury, twice for forgery and
three times for the appropriation of
moneys. So there are bad people
among the "truly loil" in the North,
and all the crime is not in tne poor
maligned Sonth. It would be a good
thi'ng if some of those Northern
editors who are eternally pointing at
the mote in the Southern eye would
make an extra effort to pull that
tremendous ,beam outof their own
peepers. We give two additional
items:
Alice Sttickland died in New York yes
terday from stab wounds received Sunday
from William Burbie in a saloon. Burbie
escaped.
Mary Lockwood, a Bowery concert
saloon waiter girl, died in New York on
Monday night from kicks inflicted by an
unknown man.
Col. P. Donan got his license to
practice law in Kentucky after eight
weeks' reading. He either learnt
mighty fast, or they don't require
much law in the Blue Grass State
Donan is really an intellectual, first
rate fellow. We hope he will have
troops of clients. But that eight
weeks business beats "French in eight
easy lessons." After all, P. D. can
learn more law, or artyxuiug else, in
eight weeks than some "limbs" we
have known could learn in eighteen
years.
There seems to be a very strong
party for Major John W. Daniel for
Governor of Virginia. He is backed
by manyof thel eading papers of the
State. He is confessedly a very able
and brilliant gentleman certainly
one of the most gifted of living Vir-
gmians.
It is thought that a majority of
the people ot Georgia have voted
for the proposed constitutional con
vention. We believe the movement
originated in the desire to undo some
of the work of the carpet-bagger.
It appears as if the Russians had
met with a signal defeat at Kars and
wkh awful slaughter Considering
the vast resources of the Muscovite
it is perhaps singaiar Qiit the war
progresses so slowly.
The only way the President can
possibly know the views and wishes
of the Southern people is by consult
ing the reliable, influential papers
How can he know what suits and
what is distastef al, what is judicious
and what is hurtful and afflictive, if
he does not see the papers? It is,
indeed, a "big thing" to be the Prfc
ident of forty-five milUpjQU&t. people
who dwell in a country that almost
embraces a continent, and to know
these people he must have very ex
traordinary means of information.
The politician, the publicist, the com
mercial dealer seek the best papers
for information concerning the world
and its varied interests. The Presi
dent has to meet the wants, the ne
cessities, the demands of the people
of thirty-eight States, besides the ter
ritories; the only way he can act inj
telligently and advisedly is by con
sulting those exponents of public sen
timent the newspapers. If he does
not see North Carolina papers, hW
shall he learn of our true condition?
The Morning Stab has been going
to the White House for nearly three
months. The Tarboro Southerner
takes this correct view of the matter:
"Bv alt means let the Presideat be nost-
ed. Let him see the utter f ruitiessness of
his 'new par ty' scheme. Let him see we dq
not criticise him for the pure love of the
thins. That, giving up no tenet of faith.
we have the manliness to give him credit
for the good things he may do; that when
we may seem harsh it is not from bile or
bitterness, but to point out to him the true
way."
Of course some papers will object
to the appointment of Mr. Lowell to
the Spanish mission. He "a a pure,
scholarly man with a good record as
a a . . 41 1 1 id 1
a ivepuoncan. it has been years
since as good a man was sent to
Madrid. Mr. Lowell is unquestiona
bly one of the four or five greatest of
American poets, and his prose writ
ings are almost as charming as his
verse. If Mr. Haves never makes a
worse selection then be will do well
for his country. It is said that Mr.
L. has a literary project in view
hence his appointment. Our Govern
ment in the past honored itself by
sending as Ministers or Consuls
abroad such literary gentlemen as
Washington Irving, Edward Everett,
George Bancroft, John Lothrop Mot
ley and Nathaniel Hawthorne, the
last named being the best prose writer
of our country.
It ia really amusing to see how
many voluntary advisers President
Hayes has. It was given out that
Jndge Stanley Matthews was the
counsellor, but they can be counted
by dozens. The latest oracles who
have been sending their whispers into
Hayes' cars are Joseph Medil I, of
Chicago, and "My son Oliver" Dock
ery, of N. C. It will be impossible
for Hayes to blunder any more
Hereafter wise counsels will prevail,
and the country is safe. But how
about that snug foreign appointment,
Oliver Hazard ?
OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES.
We believe the position taken by the
Smtherner has been endorsed by four-fifths
of the papers in the State. Bourbonism has
"played," and so it ought. Bile is only bit
ter in the liver of him who nurses it. The
Democratic party of North Carolina is eood
enough for us, and we can conceive of no
possibility of its disruption or being swal
lowed up. i arooro southerner, jjem.
The thing most to be regretted is that
