SOIIB POINTS IN NORTH CARO
LINA HISTORY.
The Columbia (S. C.) Register; of
the 20lh, has a two column editorial
on "North Carolina's Independence
Day." The whole article is good
reading, and shows-that the editor
has not only examined into the his
tory of .North Carolina in those
troublous, revolutionary times, but is
generous and candid enough to say
cordial and appreciative things of
our patriotic and heroic forefathers
We reproduce here three paragraphs
of importance in connection with the
Colonial history; of. North Carolina.
The Register says:
"la 1773 Speaker Harvey, of the North
Carolina House of Commons, laid before
that body the addresses of several of the
colonies asking the concurience of North
Carolina in the appointment of a colonial
commission to inquire into the wrongs and
injuries inflicted on the colonies by the
royal government. This was the first act
of the revolutionary drama.
"In August, 1774, the Provincial Con
gress met at Newberne, despite the proc
lamations of royal authority forbidding the
same. The body, composed of forty-one
members, representing twentysnine coun
ties and five towns, chose John Harvey
Speaker, and amongst other measures of
moment adopted a resolution approving a
general Congress of the Colonies in Phila
delphia in September following, and the
appointment of delegates. with instructions
to resist all aggressions on the rights of the
colonies.
"In February, 1775, Speaker Harvey
summoned the Assembly to meet at Kew
bern, on the 4th day of the following April,
and also issued a notice to the people of
the several counties and towns to send
delegates to a convention to meet at the
tame time and place Notwithstanding
the denunciation of the Provincial Govern
or, Martin, the two bodies met as called.
They pledged their firm adherence to the
action of the Continental Congress held in
Philadelphia the September previous. The
Assembly was dissolved by the proclama
tion of the Governor, but reassembled again
at the 8ameplace." -
You may examine the histories of
the United States and you will find
that North Carolina gets but little,
if any credit, for being a leader m
the various movements that culmi
nated in the war of Independence.
The Register refers in handsome
terms to the Mecklenburg Declara
tion of Independence, and gives the
names of the signers.' It then says:
"This then, is the Runnymede of North
Carolina, and here the names of twenty
eiirht freemen whose pledges to the cause
of liberty shall go down - to their remotest
posterity along with the privileges of Magna
uiiarta. inese were me mea who recorded
themselves In behalf of freedom of con
SCEENCB AND -SECURITY FROM TAXATION
WITHOUT THB CONSENT OB" THE GOVERNED .'
"Here are the first footprints of Ameri
can liberty stamped, indelibly stanmed, in
the history of American freemen. He who
tears out this leaf from our great book of
liberty consigns us all to a oolitical alavprv
against which the men of Mecklenburg
pledged. their posterity for all coming time,
and who to-day renew the pledges of their
We wish to supplement this, with
one statement that is historically true.
North Carolina: was not only the first
Colony to declare its own indepen
dence of the ; British Crown, but it
was the first Colony to instruct her
delegates in the General Congress to
declare the independence of the Colo
nies of the British Crown.. .This was
done on April 12tb, 1776, at Halifax,
where the Colonial Congress was in
session.. r
It is generally mentioned that Vir.
ginia was the first. This is clearly a
mistake.' North Carolina ; led ; IhB
other Colonics in this rnoveliierii as
she did iu'others North Oarolina
has never had Justice done her
because 'she has been rather too
modest. Whilst other Stales have
constantly asserted their claims and
gloried in the deeds of their men of
the past, our people have been dumb.
As we said a year or so ago, when re
ferring to this topic, it fis full time
that our- home press and public
speakers were urging our claims
boldly and unmistakably.
We will reproduce a few impor
tant points we made in a former ar
ticle. Omitting the;, first four we
then mentioned, in which North Card'
lina w&s first, we give the following:
The first tractate or paper ever
published in America in resistance to
tyranny and oppression was written in.
Granville county, aud was published
in 1765, and is mentioned and quoted
from by Herman Husband.
The first blood shed ou the Ameri
can Continent in resistance to British
tyranny, was at the battle of Ala
mance, on May 16, 1771, between two
thousand Regulators, about half o
whom were armed, and eleven . hun
dred troops under Tryon, "the Wolf
of North Carolina," the then Royal
Governor.
The first men who were hanged for
taking up arms .in defence of their
rights and liberties, was atHillsboro,
Orange county, in the year 1771
probably in the month of June.
The first opposition offered by an
organized assembly to the tax on tea
and the unjust rule of Great Britain
was made by the First Provincial
Congress, held at Newbern, on Au
gust 25th, 1774.
We have mentioned before four
days ago bow the Mecklenburg pa
triots were first in declaring indepen
dence and setting up a new govern
ment. We also mentioned the other
day that the first open resistance to
authority to enforce the stamp act
occurred in this city under Colonels
Waddell and Ashe. We have men
tioned above -that North Carolina
was the first to instruct her delegates
in the General Congress to declare
the independence of the .colonies. '
. There is yet another important fact
in which North Carolina was first.
The first important victory gained by
American troops over the British was
at Moore's Creek Bridge, in the coun
ty of Pender, on February 27th,1776,
over four months before the Nation
al Declaration of Independence was
made. It was a battle in which be
tween two and three thousand sol
diers were engaged. The North Caro
lina troops were under Colonels Cas
well (afterwards GovernoY) and Lil-
lington.
We will only add that - official re
cords, show that according to popu
lation North Carolina was first in the
number of troops she furnished in
the . war . between the States. She
sent into service 121,000 effective
troops, besides nearly 4,000 on other
duty. Her largest vote (white) be
fore the war. was 112,500. These
figures are perfectly reliable and
speak for themselves. Such Generals
(natives of other States) as D. II.
Hill, A. P. Hill, Hampton, Hood,
Cooke, Lane, and others have borne
Willing and hearty testimony to their
fine soldierly qualities.
We shall avail ourselves of other
points in the Register for reproduc
tion in our columns and possibly for
comment.
EUROPEAN DISTURBANCES.
There is a great deal of apprehen
sion felt throughout Europe as to the
outcome of the present seriously dis
turbed condition of society. The
crowned heads are looking to each
dther for sympathy and, if need be,
for assistance.. Nihilism, or by what
ever name the revolutionists may be
called, is becoming a giant spectre
that disturbs the slumbers of royalty,
and gives additional force to the old
saw "Uneasy" lies the head that
wears a crown." Nearly every
country of the Continent is more or
less agitated' over the condition of
affairs. The most repressive and
violent measures have been re
sorted to in Russia to crush
out the hydra-headed monster
that so ominously threatens' the
Emperor and his government.
A fearful state of affairs exists
throughout that vast despotism. The
Btruggle between an oppressed peo
ple and arbitrary power has probably
i ust begun. Just here let us mention
what we met . with in a recent British
periodical. It was stated that when
the Czar was lately fired at he was
perfectly unmanned, and cried lustily
tor help. One of his brave protectors
was wounded, but he" slunk awav.
This is given as the certain version of
the affair. He wears a ooat-of-mail
constantly now. -j
In Prussia the press has not much
liberty. In France, whilst the Re
public appears to have stability and
strength, there is a vigorous minority
constantly antagonizing, and is ready
to press the olaims of monarchy at
any time.The Berlin treaty has been
disappointing to all concerned. Tur
key and the States adjoining recently
at war are of course still! suffering
from the losses' and -demoralization
consequent' upon' a: long protracted
and sanguinary Btruggle. England
has had her troubles too. Two wars
have occupied her armies and deple
ted her treasury, whilst great trade
depression and wide-spread suffering
among the laboring classes have taxed
the resources of charity and given
great, uneasiness ' and care - to . the
Ministry of tho Kingdom. The gene
ral European outlook is not very en
couraging. -
r The English press . is much occu
pied in discussing the speech and sub
sequent action of Sir Robert Peel,
who makes stinging speeches and is
an antagonist not to be despised. In
a speech on the Zulu question he
said Lord" Chelmsford ought not to
be retained in command, and would
not bo but for the favoritism of the
Duke of Cambridge (one of the
Queen's sons). He also took a lilt at
George IV. and was nor. complimentary-
This is said to have offended
Royalty, and it was given out in
one of the court papers - that the
Queen and the Royal Family had
resolved "never to take any notice of
Sir Robert in- the future.?' This
reached the irate gentleman, where
upon he sent a ringing letter to the
said publication. The last paragraph
reads as follows:
"Go and tell, your master that I am not
the sort of man to be smothered by Impe
rial menaces, and, unless I receive the
most ample satisfaction from the Royal
sources which have made you their most
impudent mouthpiece I shall send a copy
of your statement, together with a copy of
my reply, to the Prince of Wales and to
the Duke of : Cambridge. And, as you
nave published and circulated such a decla
ration of the intentions of the Royal Fami
ly, with respect to my remarks in the House
of Commons, 1 shall also avail myself of a
fitting opportunity to publish and to placard
in London and the provinces, under the
heading; of 'Sir Robert Peel and the rest of
the Royal Family,' both your official notifi
cation of the Royal message and my con
temptuous acknowledgment."
Senators Garland and Harris are greatly
disappointed at the failure of the yellow
fever bill, and we are confident that all
right thinking people in the South will
share their disappointment. Little Bock
Democrat.
And "all right-thinking people in the
South" should understand that the bill
failed because so many Southern members
of the Senate refused to vote for this meas
ure of protection to the South. Memphis
Avalanche.
We copy "the above because two
States are represented in the com
plaint made. Both Tennessee and
Arkansas suffered from the yellow
fever epidemic of last year, and they
may well be disappointed in the ac
tion of Congress to give relief to the
South as far as it can. Recent de
bates show that Conkliug is leading
the opposition whilst Edmunds will
probably join him in efforts to defeat
the new health bill. On Thursday
in the Senate Mr. Harris stated that
the present bill looked to the main
tenance of existing State health laws,
where they are efficient, and to the
co-operation therewith of the Na
tional Board, as far as possible. He
asks for $500,000. Senator Eaton
thought $250,000 was enough, but
his amendment was defeated.
We have not read the new Consti
tution of California, and do not know
specially why it should . exoite so
much alarm. It has been asserted,
time and again, that it contained
many dangerous, levelling features,
and that it was a triumph of. Kear
ney ism, and that it would bring
Communism to the front. The New
JYork Evening Post published a pri
vate letter from a gentleman of Cali
fornia, in which he says:
"The result of our election, accepting
the new Constitution, so far from : being a
victory for Kearney and Communism, was
a defeat of both, because they failed to
carry this city. Our citizens can now have
an Anti-Kearney city government, if pro
perty, education and respectability com
bine, as they have in the last election. The
State and the new - Constitution were car
ried by the Grangers. ; The Grange aud all
its ramifications are purely an American
institution. Witness the fact -that the new
Constitution permits local option. 'This
brought out the whole influence - of the
whiskey and beer sellers, to join the capi
talists and business men against it. This
Grange movement everywhere, as I under
stand it, was born of the railroad, and its
root is purely a question of transportation."
CURRENT COJIIRIEIVT.
t It is announced, by authority,
that Mr. Devens has furnished Mr.
Hayes with his objections to the "ri
ders" on the Legislative Appropria
tion bill, and that Mr. Hayes will use
the document thus provided as his
veto message. - There is a cool, exas
perating insolence - in such an an
nouncement that 5 tests toleration
to the last degree. This man Devens,
who has prostituted his misnamed
"Department of Justice" to the low
est partisan; uses, who has degraded
his official position and. the machinery
of his office by making them a mere
appendage to Gorman's committee;
this man, who has abused his trust
by appointing hordes , of 'strikers'
to do the dirty work of dirtier politl ";
cal scavengers all under the sacrea
name . of Justice this ' man now
looms up in colossal insolence as the.
author of a document objecting to
the acts of the people's Congress,
which would be an insult if it bore
the name of the best man who has
ever ..tilled the Presidential z chair.
Comiug from Messrs. Devens and
Hayes; it is an outrage on public
rights and jbfficiar decency,- Was h.
Post' Dem. - .
The "Confederate Brigadiers"
in" Congress" are the real conservatives
of that body, as every test continues
to show. In both speech and action
they bear and forbear; and if there is
a backdown on' the part'of the Demo
crats it will be duo to: their modera
tion. Mr. Hayes owes his position
and power almost ' entirely to one or
two Northern candidates for - the
Presidency, and ? the "Confederate
Brigadier," who are being so ma
lignantly abused by the Republican
press in the country, and by. the Re
publican leaders in . Congress.

.IMPERIAL GRANUM.
The Grat Medicinal Food.
The Salvator for Invalids and the Aged. An Incom
parable Aliment for the Growth and Protection
Of Infants and Children. A Superior Nu
tritive in Continued Fevers, and a
Sellable Remedial Agent in all Diseases of the
Stomach and Intestines, .
THIS justly celebrated Dietetic Preparation is, in
composition, principally the Gluten derived from"
the White Winter Flint Wheat Cereal, a solid
extract, the invention of an eminent Chemist. It has
not only been highly recommended-but certified to by
a large number of Chemists and Physicians repre
senting a very high degree of medical science as the
Safest. Most Acceptable and Reliable Food for the
Growth and Protection of Infants and Children, and
for Mothers lacking Sufficient Nourishment for
their offspring.
Unlike those preparations made from animal or
. vinous matter,"which are liable to stimulate the brain
and irritate the digestive organs, it embraces in its
elementary composition
That which makes strong Bone and Muscle. That
which makes good Flesh and Blood. That which is
easy of Digestion never constipating. That which
is kind and friendly to the Brain, and That which
; acts as a preventive of those Intestinal Disorders
. incidental to Childhood.
And, while it would be difficult to conceive of any
; thing in Food or Dessert more creamy and delicious,
; or more nourishing and strengthening as an ali
i ment itkFevers, Pulmonary Complaints, Dyspepsia
and General Debility, its Rare Medicinal Excel
lence in all Intestinal. Diseases, especially in
: " Dysentery, Chronio SUnosa and Cholera Inf utam,
' Has been Incontestable Proven.
