' J: LET US HAVE PEACE. ; . Having shown conclusively that the position of the Star is identical with that of such Southern Demo . crats as Senator Lamar, Gen. Forrest, HonrTBeverly B. Douglass, and scores of others, to say nothing of the posi tion of nearly all the leading Demo cratic papers, we are entirely willing to "play quits" with our brothers of the Democratic press in North Caro lina on the questions of party policy that have recently created some di vision of sentiment in bur ranks. . All we ask is that we be permitted to have and to express our own ; con scientious convictions; without hav ing our-motives impugned, or our loyalty to the Democratic party ques tioned either directly or by innuendo. W e cheerfully accord to those of our friends who do not agree with us entire honesty of purpose and a sincere de sire to so direct their efforts that they may result in -.the highest possible good to the Democratic party. But they ought not to intimate that those who differ from them are trying to organize a new party, or to do any thing that will prejudice the claims of the Democratic party when it goes before the country in 1880. . ' We all have a common object to preserve the integrity of the Demo cratic party, and to do our utmost to bear Its banners to victory in the next Presidential election. Let us, thenj and look more to the grand result for which we are all struggling.. So Marshal Bob Douglas has been exonerated, and will be continued in office.' We do not understand how his office could have been so mismanaged, and yet Marshal Bob be efficient and capable. He should be turned out for. neglect and incapaci ty, if not for more serious reasons. We copy, a paragraph concerning him from the Baltimore Gazette: 4 'Although there was no evidence to show that be had a guilty knowledge of the frauds,, that were perpetrated in his office, there was a plenty and notably his own to proye that he had but a vague and inad equate idea of the duties and responsibili ties attaching" to his office, and was by no mfeans the right man in the right place. In overlooking all this Attorney General De vena has displayed great charity, and no doubt will be greatly .'disappointed if he finds it thrown away. .We, therefore, ad vise Marshal Bob to return quietly and chew politics forever, and devote his ener- gies in future to the purification of hisof Hce, and the forwarding of the government's nteresM in preference to his own." - L - - Way the Gazette spells the - -ne with two S's.. Is th?f v "UhoillrctriousDou- 1 1.: 3 r. - - ' THAT RESOLUTION. , The Wadesboro Herald is' aston ished that, the Star attempted to construe a resolution of the Postal Convention as an indorsement of the President's Southern constitutional policy. We. supposed it embraced allot the President's "efforts to re store -peace and quietude to the coun try," or we would not hs?ve copied it and commented upon it. We cer tainly had uo purpose to misrepre sent the introducer of the resolution. Gol. Jones, editor of the Charlotte . Observer, for whom we have high re spect.. If in error in our supposition we must regret it, for it would have been highly proper for the Conven tion to have indorsed all of the Pres ident's eff or ts"to pacify the country and restore prosperity to the South. Col. Jones had an editorial Jexpla natory of the resolution, a part of which we eppied in our evenirtg;edi tion Of August 3d. We were janx-: ious that he should be at oncej heard by our readers lest we should appear to do him injustice . intentionally." We again copy that part of his edi torial in which he expresses his own views of the value of President Hayes's services towards the South. He says: ! "The 'policy' of the President was not under consideration, bat we sincerely be- lieve that had the resolution been intended to endorse his so-called "policy", it would have met with the same substantial com mendation. Certainly President Hayes has nothing to be ashamed of. He is certainly making heroic and honorable efforts to re form the extravagance and corruptions which have so long disgraced our system of Federal government, and in. leve he is right, and, believing so, wieru, he is right we shall support him; When he is wrong, we will condemn him. We have nothing to do with his occupation of the Presidential ohair. No act, deed, word or thought of ours helped to place him there. But he ia there. He is certainly President of the United States until some one exhi bits a better title to the office, and is installed, and he is making war upon the thieves and political prostitutes who have fed and fat tened too long on the executive patronage from the White House, and in this warfare he shall have our sympathy and co-operation."; . ' i ! " We think there can be no mistake in the position of, the Charlotte! Ob server. It is an honorable, just and conciliatory one one we are in; pro found sympathy with. The above extract expresses our own views and purposes precisely. If you call that "gushing," then- make the most of it. We may mention that the above ex tract does not contain all we pub lished before. ' "' ! IS THIS SO. 3 Jo Bradley, the infamous Judge who betrayed the cause of right and justice, and his country also, is mean enough to do anything. But 1 even Jo is entitled to a hearing. If he has done as charged, it ist not a mattor for surprise, and we stand ready to credit upon proper evidence.' But what is the charge ? The N. Y. Sun is responsible for the statement that the immortal Jo had prepared an argument and a decision giving' to the Tilden electors of Florida the ; right to cast the electoral vote of that State; that he read this argument and conclusion to Judge Field . and Judge Clifford, who were also!; mem bers of the Electoral Commission. During the night, however, Judge Bradley's house was besieged, by prominent Republicans, who used all their arts of persuasion upon Judge Bradley with such success that on the next day that jurist came into the Electoral Commission and cast his vote for the Hayes electors without in the slightest changing his argument, and rendered the eight-to-seven, de cision which virtually decided the whole contest between the people and the Count-in Conspirators: ; We will be glad to hear more about this charge. Where are the wit nesses ? WJiat do Judges Field and Clifford have to say ? Is it jone of the ' Sun's sensations, or is it the truth? Let the two witnesses take the stand and testify. Wei doubt the statement, because we would have probably hearfl about it before if it had happened ; as charged.: Why should Field and Clifford 'have re mained silent so long? WHAT IS THE MATTER T , Are they all getting demoralized ? Have all the leading" men learned to be fair and candid and just ? This time it is that sound Demoorat Hon. Eppa Hunton, who was a Confederate General, and whd has the' confidence of his Virginia people. He ; appears to take a broad and liberal, view of the President's Southern constitution al policy.

Mr. John S. Wise, a prominent Richmond lawyer and Democrat, and son of the late Gov. Henry A. Wise, is : rapidly gravitating towards politi cal decapitation. He will bo kicked out of "the party" if he does not dry up at once. How can any man be tolerated by Democrats, who talks as Mr. Wise does ? ' It is well for him that he is in Virginia and not in North Carolina. He may be allowed to live in that State, where nearly all of the daily papers are of the same way of thinking, but if he were over this side of the line well, he would be kicked out with Leach and the balance of the "Hayes Democrats." He thus writes to a friend: r "You and I are Democrats by name; the name means something to us, and defines our political belief. Mr. Hayes is a Repub lican. Doubtless that same has a significa tion to him, and defines his political belief. Suppose we discover.in the course of events, that our associates in Democracy are not what we call Democrats, but are mere timid ities or nonentities, that they have not cour age to win Democratic victories, or hold them when won. Are we less-Democrats, for all that ? Suppose, on the other hand, we find that notwithstanding his Republi can name, Mr. Hayes is preaching good Democratic doctrine and doing Democratic deeds to our own heart's content, are we less Democrats for that t On the contrary, are we not cheered in our faith by the sight of the triumph of our ow& principles ? The fact that our old friend? have stumbled in the dark, and our old opponents come to the light, cannot change us, however incon sistent may be their course." Judge Merrimon is represented in the papers as having made an excep tionally good speech at the Univer sity before the Normal School. Ho is a very able man, and his speeches indicate thoroughness, thoughtful ness, conscientiousness. His speeches in the Senate have been eminently distinguished for their comprehen siveness, cxhaustiveneas, and force. The ablest political speech we have ever heard was delivered by him at Trinity College in 1872, in the Gu bernatorial canvass. We learn from a friend that his remarks at Chapel Hill were misunderstood or misrepre sented to some extent at least in so far as the report in one of our State papers is concerned, in which he ro fers to Wilmington. A teacher, now at the Normal School, writes to the Weldon News concerning tho speech, which shows ; how the teachers, at least, liked it, if outsiders were not altogether pleased. He says: "Judge Mcrrimon'8 address, last evening, on 'The Evils of North Carolina and their Remedy,' alone, has inspired us with a thorough determination to go out among pur fellow beings and labor unceasingly and untiringly to promote their moral and intellectual interest, and make North Caro lina stand first, and not last, in our great commonwealth in the development of all her resources. But enough, un less I could do full justice to the fine speech of this gifted gentleman. You have doubt less seen it in full ere this reaches you. Every one was pleased and delighted who heard Judge Merrimon, while at the same time they deplored the many humiliating facts, which he so vividly hejd up before them, of the moral, physical and intellec tual torpidity of the people of this Slate." The Hillsboro Recorder asks the Star: "But is Stephens' 1 opinion either . worth heeding or quoting ? Or that of Toombs either, for that matter." Why not ? Are fehey not both very able, well-informed and inde pendent thinkers ? . They are both native Georgians. One was a Con federate General, the other was Vice President of the Southern Confede racy. Stephens is in no sense a radi cal, but a moderate man in his views --a conservative in the tone and tem per of his mind. He is not always right, but who is? Toombs is an ex tremist ordinarily. Just now his views collide with the other extrem ists because he is for peace, for re conciliation, for justice. How soon men's opinions become of no valae if they happen to be against you. An other case of "doxy" -ortho and hetero. We propose to encourage all men to do right. Stephens and Toombs are right now. May they al ways be so. The telegraph informed us yesterr day that the scenes in the Virginia convention were highly boisterous, with a fair prospect of their becom ing frantic We are satisfied that it is .impossible for twelve hundred hot blooded Southerners to obey parlia mentary rules and to conduct them selves with proper dignity when as sembled in the same body.

"- CURRENT COMMENT. "It seems doubtful whether Stan ley Matthews will ever be heard of again in national politics." It is most extraordinary'" how a man of such amiability and cleverness should so misconceive and undervalue -the po litical intelligence of tho American people as Mr. Matthews has done in the past few months. It would, per haps, be too. severe to say that there was no fickleness, no imbecility, no international outrage, no financial dishonor of which Mr. Matthews seems to have thought tho American people incapable at this crisis, but ho has certainly left us very much in doubt where ho would draw the line." Springfield Republican, Ind. . Our readers, to fully appre ciate the feelings which have pro duced this lamentable outbreak among the railroad employes, must put them selves in their places. Hero is a hard-working, faithful man, who has served his masters many years; ho has a family, and can hardly "keep 'the., wolf from the door" with his wages; he knows that the road has made large profits, and he sees that these in the form of divi dends, watered stock and high sala ries have gone into a few hands. In these profits he has had no share. Suddenly, during a bad year, he gets a communication signed by the presi dent, who is enjoying the millions made from these former gains, that his small wagps must be reduced ten per cent. He cannot see how bread is to come to his family with such pay. He has been too long in tho service to easily find another place. Indeed, it may be that all places are tilled in any occupation which he could follow. Burning with the sense of injustice, and desperate, be is easi ly influenced by tho wild and reckless men who are always seeking to lead workingmcn astray. lie tries a strike (which ho has a perfect right to do), he becomes a unionist,' a Communist, a rioter. Tho transition is easy and natural. If he reflects .at all, he knows that the financial ill success of his road has not been due to his. neg lect or failure. It has been owing to the foolish ambition of its Presi dent in building branch roads, or the greed of speculators in watering its stock, or to similar causes. Had he ever enjoyed a share in its prosperity, ho would be willing now to accept a portion of its misfortunes. Under such feelings and convictions an out break is inevitable. The strike will bo worth all it has cost, if it will change all this and tend to put labor in a more reasonable relation with capital, and thus avert some of the dangers which have just showed their front so formidably. Nero York limes, Hep. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES. In truth, Ihe day of long editorials, long communications, and long articles of any sort, is past. They are mere lumber in any "live" newspaper. Life is too short to read them, and is growing shorter. People don't live nine hundred and ninety-nine years, now a days, as they did when Moses "begat Shadrack-and Shadrack begat Mcshack, and Desback begat Abcdnego and Abed nego" continued the business in the "old style and firm name." In those times a man at the age of six hundred was considered quite a frisky young fellow, who probably didn't have more than three hundred sheep, some slaves and other cattle, and only an hundred or two children hardly a start in lifel Charlotte Soutiiern Home. Until within the last few weeks we had no mail routes in the county that were worth anything to the patrons of. newspa pers except the railroad and the hack line to Fayetteville. And now we are informed by the postmaster at this place that service on the latter route has been reduced to two trips a week instead of three as heretofore, and Will leave here Mondays and Thurs days. This change goes into effect on the lGih of this month. It is really significant of glorious results that while the repre sentatives of the Southern people in "Pos tal Convention assembled," were negotia ting and arranging for increased mail facil ities, the Department was quietly cutting down some of those we already enjoy. Bobesonian. - POLITICAL. POINTS. - The Greenbackers in Maine have gone into the canvass in earnest. Their speakers are already out over the State. - Hayes' policy is an apple of dis cord with the Maine Radicals, which is ex pected to produce trouble in tho approach ing State Convention.

SECOND. DISPATCH.- 1 Richmond, Aug. 9. " The Conservative State Convention met at 9 A. M. ' A number of resolutions were introduced, relating to the public debt, all of which were referred to the committee on Resolu tions. A majority of these favor the pay ment of the public debt, but any proposi tion looking to increased : taxation was re ceived with hisses from all parts of the house. A resolution complimentary to President Hayes for his wise and conservative action towards 2he South was offered. A dele gate asked if it was in order to move and lay the resolution on the table, but the Chair decided that under the rule it went to the committee. . A resolution that the public. 'School sys tem should be abolished was greeted with hisses. ; A resolution that the Convention pro ceed at once to nominate a candidate for Governor elicited warm discussion between members who were for immediate action, and those who favored the adoption of a platform- which should embrace the ques tion of disposition of the public debt The members who opposed, immediate nominations were the friends of General Mahone, who is recognized as the repudia tion candidate, and they determined ; that if they can prevent it no nominations shall be made until a platform is a3d$$ed, so that if it is not acceptable to them they can bolt and run their candidate as an ' inde pendent. The report of the committee on Creden tials is now before the Convention. It seats and unseats a number of delegates, and the debate over the report is quite spirited, and is likely to continue for some time. FOREIGN IRTELL1GKNCB.
