EVENING EDITION.
: AGREED. "
Our highly respected contempora
ry, the Magnolia J Record, that js
edited with ability, In commenting I
on, one of our editorials of three
weeks ago, says: i
"Now, we think the case is altogether in
correctly stated. We have failed to see or
' hear one syllable, rejecting any act of
-Hayes which is good, just or lawful. Who
lias seen one word (except from Morton,
Wade, Blaine,' & Co.) condemnatory of
the "removal of troops 1 from South Caro
lina ? Who has denounced the triumph of
Ritrbt and Libeityjn Louisiana ? Who has
condemned me iaxuoai v. ... -brkg
in any of . the departments ? Who de
nounces any act that is beneficial, and who
.. fails to accept it and to rejoice because of
it ? Not one whom we have seen, or of
whom we have heard. So much for that."
The Stab has done just what the
Record says all have done it has
time and again presented, the points
indicated in the above paragraphs It
has never praised : Hayes for doing
what was not right and proper, , as
embraced in the paragraph from the
Record. The Stab has felt itself
constrained to condemn the Presi
dent's course in several appointments
he has' made, and has insisted upon a
change if he would have credit for
sincerity and earnestness in his re
formatory movements. The Stab
has ' simply anticipated the code as
i laid down by Gov. Hendricks, a pure
and honest statesman. The Stab
has acted from a high ; sense of right
and justice and candor, and in no
thing that it has said has it been for-
I getful of the best interests of the
country and of North Carolina, and
, of the welfare, stability and disci
pline of theTJemocratic party. ;
I We are agreed, then, with the Re-
cord as far as , the4 above paragraph
goes, if that paragraph contains -its
sentiments.. We have not felt our-
selvesjjalled upon to abuse the Pfes-
, ident in our paper, or in any way to
offer any "factious opposition." We'
knowjjjat we-stand precisely where
the ablest and truest daily papers of
the Democratic party of the South
sand, whose opinions we have before
us constantly, and many of which we
have reproduced in our columns from
day to day., ,.: ! -.;.
1 ' We . have never ''gushed" over
Hayes as some of our exchanges have
- charged. We. have expressed our,
selves freely and candidly in appro
val of the very things the Record
says all Democratic papers indorse;
whilst we haveavoided bitter per
sonal abuse of the jnan who was
placed where he is by the Electoral
Commission, a-body we have de
nounced as sincerely and as unmea
suredly as' any bfj our critics. We
occupy the position occupied by
Hampton, Lamar, .Gordon, ; Ransom,
and other foremost men of all our
Southland. . j : ' v !;
As tSf as we remember we have
written no line concerning the Presi
dents policy we would wish to blot
if dying, for we have written noth
ing we did not' believe, professing to
have a conscience in politics as in
other things.; We can. say with jour
contemporary: ! t
"We have only written what we believed
truth, justice, honor and the interests of
our country have demanded. We hate
written not as policy has dictated, but as
our "heart and conscience have laugui. we
believe it is policy also for it is always
the best policy to bl true to and abide by
principle." ' ... . I, . . -
The tone iof the Stab doubtless
differs from some of r 'bur contempor
aries. We aim to hold firmly to the
right, but without, being extreme or
radical in any sense to stand squarely
by the truth j by what Is honest : and
jast; by our country, by our. State,
and by the party in the triumph, of
whose principles rest the safety, pros
perity and happiness of the country.
We take leave to quotefrom an
editorial of May 5th, on the ridicu
lous attempt to resuscitate the , old
Whig party! Referring to North
Carolina, we then said : ' ; '
"The Whigs and Democrats will
sustain the President in all just mea
sures and iti all well-directed efforts
to restore the government as it came
from the formative hands of. the il
lustrious and patriotic forefathers of
the eighteenth century, and in bring
ing back that stainless honor, that
unsullied name which was once the
heritage, the glory and the pride of
the American citizen.

ballot. They know they can jgain
nothing by a factions opposition to
the President's policy when ' that
policy is kindly, fostering and paren
tal, and, therefore, they will suetaiu
him when he is clearly right and
condemn and oppose him when he is
clearly wrong. j 1
Is there any "gush" in this ? Is
there anything wrong here in princi
ple or unwise in policy ? Is there any
thing disloyal to honor or truth or
fairness? Is there any! thing in! such
utterances that a candid and sincere
r "'(.' - -.
Democrat cannot approve ? We stand
Dy tnose utterances now. in no re-
spect have we altered our judgment
or opinion as to the propriety of such
statements. We are not as sanguine
possibly that Hayes will be able to
serve the country faithfully and well
as we were in May, but we are clearly
nf: the ODinion that vohn he acts for
the best interests of a suffering: coun
try that his bands should be upheld.

his Cabinet adopt a part or the whole of
the policies and purposes for which the
Democratic party haa been contending for
many years, and which became so distinctly
defined last year even that cannot remove
or quiet the public discontent. Tke Demo
crats vM make no factious opposition, nor
will they seek: to embarrass the de facto ad
ministration, j The Democrats wiB sustain it
(the administration) in what is right, be
cause it is bight, and for the welfare of the,
country." j j
. On June 23 we wrote, referring to
these words: "This entire utterance
we indorse I without qualification or
mental reservation." And so we do
to-day. 'j " - i' ; ;
The speech of Ex-Go v. Chamber
lain, at VVoodstock, Connecticut,
July 4tb, will attract considerable
attention. It is a vigorous attack
upon the policy of the President,
which he denounces most uncon
promisingly, The assaiflt is bold,
open, defiant and able He charges
Hayes with 'a betrayal of his party
that his treatment of South Carolina
and, Louisiana was in direct . an
tagonism to the established usages
and principles of the Republican par
ty-j-"in defiance of . the. principles
and pledges of the Republican party,
and in defiance of the personal decla
rations of the President.", We have
not understood that Mr. Hayes baa
ever said or promised anything in
hostility to his letter of acceptance
and his inaugural address. We Bhall
not credit Chamberlain's unsupported
statements, j He is equally able and
unscrupulous. He no doubt expresses
the ; views of the Republican extre
mists. ; We shall ave more to say
hereafter. '
Russia appears after all her efforts
to have failed in her Asiatic campaign.
Both at Ears and Batbum she . was
foiled in all attempts to capture those
cities. This failure will possibly in-i
crease the difiiculties of peace. " 'Rus
sia wished to add to . her. possessions
in Asia Minor, and if she had cap
tured the fortified cities mentioned
and others, she would have held them
and the territory which they covered
with their -guns, and wnuid hare - re-1
tained them as one of the conditions
of peace. ; Since her failure in that

pean army, and immense forces are
now pressing towards the gateways in
the Balka mountains through which
they must pass j in iheir onward

London Times says"" the Russians are
using their utmoskstrength,and every
indication is that they - will strike
Turkey 'heavy" and fast.
, The Fourth 'of July appears to have
been observed with demonstrations
of rejoicing in many sections. VVe
believe it was only recognized as a
.holiday in North Carolina and that
the usual patriotic fulminations were
not indulged, as was the custom in
the days before the war. Grantisra
-has destroyed all that sort of fervor
that spent itself in processions and
orations and barbecues prior to 1861.
North Carolina's Independence Day
is May 20, but her people are not in
different'tb that other day. When
ever the Northern people are united
iii treating the Southerners as their
.equals in all respects under the Con
stitution, then they can unite in cele
brating July 4th. But the long,
painful reign of Grant, and his popu
larity in spite of his crimes against
the country and civil liberty, make
the-Southern people indisposed :to
hurrah much under the circum
stances. ,.
In the 'death of Dr. Nathan R.
Smith, of Baltimore, the country lost
probably its j ereatest surgeon. Ho
stood at the very head of his profes
sion,and was so recognized in Europe,
A few years ago he visited Paris,and
the medical profession of that great
city extended to him a most cordial
reception, honoring him as the Nes
tor and leader of the school of sur
gery in the U nited Mates, lie was
a. very superior lecturer as well as
operator, jjle lived to an advanced
age, and like a ripe shock has fallen
before the reaper. 1 He was born at
Concord, New Hampshire, on May
21st, .1.797; was, graduated at Yale,
and early ! settled in. Virginia. In
1827 he was elected to the Chair of
Surgery in the University of Mary
land. In 1870 he resigned, after 43
years service. t j . '
Thus far we have had little else
than theory from the President in
regard to civil Service. He has
acted, howeverj twice recently, and
appears to have been unfortunate in
both instances. His turning out of
B 0n fl5r X) alia raoro and pat
ting in a man of not altogether ques
tionable record because Wilkins
was displeasing to certain Hayes sup
porters in that city, was wrong, and
we condemned it broadly and de
cidedly at the time. The Baltimore
Gazette says:
"Mr. Hayes is past findinc out . At the
cabinet meeting yesterday, it was decided
that Collector Tutton, of Philadelphia, had
no right to remove a deputy collector in
revenge for fancied political injuries', and
he was peremptorily ordered to retain the
said subordinate. : This was true civil ser
vice ralinir, but coming: after the Presi
dent's action upon the Baltimore collector-
ship it is the height of absurdity."
In "spite of reports to the contrary.
the Returning Board of Louisiana has
been indicted in the SuperibV Crimi
nal Court of New Orleans for for
gery and fraud in the matter of the
Presidential election. Wells and
Kenner surrendered themselves, and
were bailed in the sum of $5,000
We do hope the' unvarnished rascals
will be punished it there is any law
to do so. It should be clearly es
tablished . whether Wells is "a vassal
or a peer.' The other two members
will surrender themselves.
- .There is but little doubt that Pope
Pius IX. is in a very precarious con
dition as to health. He-has been so
often reported very sick that people
have ceased to credit any statements
concerning it. The fact that many
of the visiting Bishops have remained
'at. Rome because of' his physical con
dition would indicate that fatal re
sults were feared.

? From the Shreveport Times.
We learn from Mr. : Courtney,
deputy sheriff of De Soto parish,
that on last Monday-or Tuesday ho
arrested William : Lungley, : a very
desperate character, ho is wanted in
Texas for many highhanded outrages
he has committed -in tSiat State. r He
murdered his last victim in Lee coun
ty, where he was ,well f known and
feared as a bad map and a remarkably
good shot with eithef .pistol or. rifle.
For some time he wa confined in 'the
county jail of Lee, bpt subsejqaently
made his escape" and fled, to Lout-'
siana, settling in . De Soto parish,
where he has been living quietly and
peaceably for nearly two years under
an assumed name oft Jackson. The
sheriff of Lee , couny f learning: of
Lungley's whereabouts wrote to '- the
sheriff of De Soto parish, giving a
full description of the man and the
crime he bad last committed, and
cautioned him to use every precau
tion for his capture as he or some of
the posse might possibly lose their
lives". Soon everything j was quietly
and systematically arranged for his
capture. Mr, Courtney and a small
posse went into the neighborhood of
where their man was jiving, and be
fore he was aware of what was going
on they suddenly came upon him in
the field ploughing land unarmed,
taking him completely by surprisel
Lungley immediately realized what
as up, and seeing that he had no pos
sible chance of escape gracefully sur
rendered, saying: i'Gentleraen, I
know what j you ufaht; you are
after William Lungley I am the
man." Mr.. Courtney! informed him
that he had guessed correctly, and
produced j the warrant for his arrest.
Lungley, after being arrested, said he
might as well make ajclean breast of
it, sb it would be the last of hira when
he reached Texas, and (confessed to
the killing of thirty-two men, and said
he came near killing a man two days
before his arrest, and wished he had
done it, as it would haye saved hira
from being captured, jj
During' his residence
in De Soto
parish he conducted himself in a most
quiet and gentlemanly manner, and
none of his neighbors for a moment
suspected him of being the blood
thirsty villain that he 5s.
Afteri Lungley's delivery to the
Texan sheriff he invited Mr. Court
ney and his posse: to come and
him hanged. T i

Marshal Lake, of Mississippi, is here ton
his way back from Albany, where hcu.cax?
ried some Federal convicts. , The Repubhf
cans are fighting over his place. There ap
pear to be no special Charges against Lake,
but many statements, more or; less .dam
aging, are all annoying to the Marshal.
; It is said the appointment of Wslis to the
China Consul Generalship has exhausted

The Standard's Constantinople dispatch
reports that thirty featlalions of the Turkish
army of Montenegro have reached 'Ahtivari,
whence they will embark for an unknown
destination. :
The limes has the following from Bu
charest: "It is stated here that over 120,
000 Russians ha ve vcrossed the Danube at
Simnitza. with an immense train of artillery.
comprising some pieces of .-; very heavy
calibre. The enthusiasm of the Russian
troons is verv great. The cavalry marches
about twenty kilometers in advance of the
infantry. As the Turks have no propor
tionate amount of cavalry, the Russians are
scourin&r the country ud to tue loot oi tne
Ttitllrnna "
The Turkish outposts are i at Jantra,
which is their.Drcsent advanced line. . The
centre of their army is near Rosgrad, the
riffht coveriner Rustchuk. and the left
stietchine towards Sliumla. ,
It is reported that only 12,000 men are
left in Silistria.
The first great battle in Bulgaria will
probably be fought on the- above line if
the Turks give battle in open field north of
the Balkehs. . j
It is probable there will be little of in
terest from the front until the new disposi
titfti of troops by both belligerents is made
The Russian cavalry have penetrated to
Plerna and Loftcbaf on the west, and Ter-
nova and Kabrova towards the Balkans.
They appear to be masters of the country
between the Balkans and the Danube and
from Jantra to Plerna.' :
, The Times Paris correspondent reports
that the Induslrtel Alsacien, of Alulbouse,
one of the chief anti-annexation and Dem.
ocratic organs in Alsace, has been sup-;
pressed by the German government.
The Spanish " authorities are strictly
watching the French frontier. They have
discovered a considerable store ' of .arms at
Vera, in Navarre. " :' i "
The Daily lelegraplCs Erzeroum dispatch
says it is unlikely, even if the Russians are
strongly reinforced, they can successfully
renew tbe Asiatic campaign tnis year, len
weeks hence the climate .will preclude ef
fective warfare.
The latest from Asia is a Daily News'
special, dated Erzeroum. Thursday even
ing, which states that both armies remain
inactive. The Russians arc evidently
awaiting reinforcements.
A dispatch to the Daily lelegraph, dated
Pera, Thursday, says it is reported here
that the Turks have gained a great victory
at Sistova, about 25 miles southeast of Ni
kopol is.
