Joseph J.1 Davis, who bo faithfully represents the -people of the Fourth District (Raleigh) in Congress, made a i capi-j tal speech on the "Southern Claims"! bugaboo, in which he most thorough ly exposed thefalsities, the dismgen uousness, and hnlundriesses " of those Radical speakers who persist in misrepresenting the wishes and pur poses of the Southern people in order that'capital-foir their party- may be made. It is really a most effective speechfand of its kind quite , admira ble. Mr. Davis does not occupy the attention of the House of Represen tatives often, but when he Bpeaks it is with' p'oint and effect. l5To Represen tative from North Carolina has made better speeches than he. ! . ?s f - j . We referred in brief terms to Mr. Davis's speech on the "Rebel Claims," as the Yankee bull-dozers are, wont to call them, immediately after it was delivered. We are pleased to see that the National Democratic Committee in Washington has caused this : ' speech to be published in pamphlet form in largo, quantities and to be distributed throughout the country. The speech is perfectly ex haustive, and knocks the pegs from under the falsifiers most complete ly. Ihe speech ought" to have secured the attention of the coun try earlier. It would have very effectively countervailed the ; im pressions sought id be made by such lying papers as the New York 7W Jwnewithpul honor, and without shame Philadelphia Press, and Chi cagahlnter Ocean, nd by such un scrupulous speakers jus Representa tive Hanna, of . Indiana! 'is shown to be, and creatures of that kidney; Mr. Davis's speech jhaving been published and indorsed by the Na tionai Bertidcratic tmmitfee, Uhe "big papers" are " begitining to dis cossets merits. The World, for in stance, says: ;- - I 'Air. Joseph J. Davis's speech, which the Democratic uommitlee is now circulating as, a camgaign document, may be depended upon to settle the business in detail ' He nas taten up the 'list' prepared by a Re publican Congressman of limited capacity and truthfulness from Indiana, and shown that by actual count the '3,170 bills intro duced' of : the Southern war claim variety number 631. This is a nrettv ebod dis count off to!begirrwitht but Mr. Davis had the bad taste to push his inquiries still further, and found that to; make up this terriDie array Mr. ajid or ell's u, a. 415 Was repeated mtyour times in the list, Mr Atmns7s 11. 15. 1,049 forty-nine times, and other bills irom four to twentysnine times; That , there, is: great necessity for circulating' Mr. Davis's speech . must be appweutj to anyone who examines any of the Northeraadical pap'ers. ' Our mails rof yesterday Wougfit us some of these papers, from whioh we ; cup paragtaMjca 10 snow our . readers how1 mean and despicable are the partisans wno are still try in e to h6ld on1 to'-' offic by slandering' and lying against pur1 people, :l ';.;:vf A" telegram to thesi Philadelphia discuss Drieny ana properiy buujccuj oi rem are not wanted; and. if acceptable in every iv. thev will invariably be rejected if the JPress from Washington, dated the 8th,say8: " -. i It is being privately circulated here that the Democrats are resorting to the rebel claims as an instrument to infiaencethe results of the election; These claims amount to not less than a tbuusaad million dollars, and it is charged that tney are being doled out at liberal commissions; where they will do the-, most - tood, : payment -conditioned hood the next XJoDcreas being Democratic, when they wilf make an effort to get them through nnoK Tlii urn lilunl llf Ihsmi olaimo I. in them' whenever they can There i nota!-'ma,-in'the'-Soiith who does not ktiow the; ; utter' fatsity of that statement."

Again, whenwe turn t tO f the iChi- c&go Tnter Ocean, au able paper that has never been knowh ! to 5 tell the truth about Southern polities, in or der that its vile ends jmby" be sub served and the South maligned, .says this among many other: things; : .f "The rebel claims now before1 Congress aggregate aboat $200,000,000- Thee )are of a character not barred by the constitu tional amendments, and are subject to the action of CoDgresa, without appeal to any other tribunal. - f - . - "The Inter Ocean ventures the prediction that the advent of a Democratic majority in both houses or Congress will signalize the opening of legislation which will result in the payment of these claims: And when once the gate is opened tne amount namca will prove but the beginning ot the nooa. Then will come the aggregation for the pay ment of slaves, the pensioning of rebel sol diers, etc., etc., until our own debt4 will be lost sight of in the magnitude of this raid upon the public treasury!.-j.. - . ,.'( '. ;. Do our readers appreciate me dangers oi this movement? It is not a secret by .any means, though frank avowals of the design are suppressed by the leaders of the Demo cratic party as far as possible." -? ! Thejffhole article is,! an insult to the intelligence, honor and truthful ness of the representative men of the South.' It is a base and ; groundless slander, and the fellow who penned the libel knew in his soul that he was engaged in an iniquitous and ma licious act. , . We refer to these recent pubhea- tions that our readers may'appreciate the more the necessity of just such a speech as Mr. Davis's to which we propose to refer hereafter at length, and to copy such extracts as may serve to show up effectually the dis-? reputable f ello w s w ho are still on t h e war path. , r. On the 4th inBtant, in an editorial on the "Four points of an artful, ad versary,' wo mentioned the South ern Rebel Claims,, "Bugaboo" as the first we would have to consider. We shall redeem in full the promise then made; ' - The . Savannah Morning Nexcs copies the Stab's remarks about the sensible action of the Greenback club at Bristol, Tennessee, in resolv ing no to join or inaugurate a new party, but to fight for reform within the old, sound, reliable, honest, Dem ocratic party, and adds': ' "Similar action was taken recently by the friends of the Greenback movement in Georgia, at a meeting held in Atlanta,when it was decided not to hold the proposed Greenback Convention in Griffin but that the clubs -should exert their . influence , in the Democratic party in favor of the adop tion of the Greenback . policy. . For those who earnestly seek financial and other : re- turuu it is ; certainly wiser , to cu-operaie with than to antagonize the, only .party, of the people that has the will and the power to inaugurate them. Reforms that , the National Greenback Labor party cannot obtain in or through ' the National Dem ocratic party will never be secured by them acting as independents or as allies of the Radicals." . ' W - ' ' u. t'l This is true every word of it ' We have held and expressed the same convictions often . , The University of North Carolina was organized in 1795; It has grad uated more men of; eminence than any institution in the South, unless the University of Virginia has gradu ated more, which is extremely doubt ful. It had nearly. fiye hundred; stu dents before the warnd from over twenty States. . Its history and plan are elaborately given in Duy chmck's American IAteraturetv and appeared twenty-five -years ago. The New York World one of the ."great'pa- pera"rr-never heard of it.' In its issue of the 9th it speaks oti "Chapel Hill Institute, N,Q." Such is fame, and such is knowledge.
