Uy WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C: Wednesday Moening, Dec. 17, 1879 HALE16H1TB8 INTERVIEWED. The special correspondent of the Washington Post sends from Raleigh a long letter, in which is an account of sundry interviews with citizens of our capital, of both parties. Mr. Richard C. Badger gives a good ac count of the condition of the colored people. He says they are as well treated as anywhere in the world. He said, among other things : "I know of no reason why they should leave this country. I am satisfied that they will all soon be destitute in the North, which is different from this section. Here they never work on Saturdays, and two or three days per week will support anybody. The only result I can see of the exodus is that they are going to suffer by it ." Ex-Governor Holden gave similar testimony as to the treatment and condition of the negroes. We quote: "Ex-Governor Holden, postmaster, had heard very little of the exodus, but knew ," of no oppression of the colored race more so than poor whites. Id nine' out of ten cases, where the negro conducts himself k decently and properly, he receives justice from the courts and magistrates just as promptly as the white man in this or any other State. He had heard of no cases for a year or two of oppression." He said they had improved very greatly, and bad the same sohool ad vantages as the whites. He saw no reason for any class to be dissatisfied now. Let it be remembered that Mr. Badger and Gov. Holden are pro nounced Republicans. Col. Ike Yonng looked at the mat ter differently. Out of all the inter views his is the only one that bears unfriendly upon the whites. He be lieved the negroes were leaving be cause "of the countiog out of the Re publican Congressional nominee in the Seoond District. This made them think theri rights are not secure." This is extremely thin. Think of the most ignorant of their race, without raoney,fleeing thousands of miles into a cold and inhospitable region jnst because a negro of bad charac ter was supposed to have been counted out by a. Returning Board. Colonel Ike is shrewd and smart, and he smiled inwardly, no doubt, when he ponred that " leetle yarn" into the auricular receptacle of the Washington reporter. He told the said reporter, and very gravely, no donbt, that "in our elections here (in North Carolina) the election ma chinery cheats them oat of thousands of votes nnder the form of law." That cruel and remorseless registra tion, does this terrible work. Well, this is awf uL Bnt,come now, Colonel, is it true? Why, he knows he can stand in front of the Yarborough House any night and blow his horn and send out his hench men, and in an hour he can gather the faithful so Metropoli tan Hall shall be overrun. He knows that no army was ever better dis ciplined than the negroes in election times that they are thoroughly posted as to what is expected of them, and that they are submissive and pliable. The trouble is, it is not that they do nojrote at all, bat that many of them vote too often. Bat K a.imit.s t.hfiv are imDrovinff. men tally and physically; that they are-as a general thing treated fairly in their . contracts; and that they are making a mistake in leaving North Carolina. Col. Young is a Republican office holder. Bat the most important testimony is that given by a very wprtby and an intelligent colored editor, 0. Hun ter, Jr. We know him, and we are not surprised to hear him .bearing such just and truthful evidence in the matter of the exodus. He edits the Industrial Journal, and does it well. We copy from his interesting state ment: 3e?-rr. "So far as my knowledge goes, I believe the colored people are better off in North Carolina than in any other Southern State. 1 have been all over, the North, and find none better treated. They art treated in those counties affected by the exodus pro bably bettpL than elsewhere, and I have found them there well contented and hap py. Wages have been low and times hard , but that is the case everywhere. In the courts we have our own color on the juries, and have the same rights and privileges as white men." "How are they mentally?" "The mental improvement of my race has been commendable. They have made rapid progress since the emancipation, and feel that they mast be well educated to compete with the white race. This is au ambition with the colored people where it is not with the poorer whites. I have no ticed that where complaint exists it has been superinduced by bad management and lack of economy, or else chargeable to bad crops and poor markets." We invite the Stalwart organs throughout the North to consider what this colored editor has said. He speaks of what he knows, which is more than can be said of them when they write about the Southern people. Gen. Cox and Capt. Ashe were also interviewed, but as they are Democrats we are not concerned as to what they said. The reporter in terviewed the Governor at Goids boro. We gave yesterday what he said to the Herald correspondent. The Post's letter thus reports him: . "What is the attitude of the courts?" "Justice is administered as rigidly and impartially ia the courts of this State as any ia the Union. . As a general thing the magistrates mete out justice as to the whites. The sentiment of the State visits its censure and disapprobation on the man who cheats the negro more so than the white." "To what do you attribute this move, ment?" "I attribute it to one sole cause an at tempt to transfer the negroes to Indiana to make that State Republican next year. I am convinced that the agents who have ag itated the movement are the emissaries of Indiana Republicans." "Why do you think so? A person in your position'woald not make a charge of this kind so recklessly." "I have reason to believe so from corres pondence that I have received from In diana about two months ago, when I was appealed to to stop it" "Are you satisfied that no North Carolina whites are identified with the scheme?" "No; no North Carolina Republicans are even in sympathy with it, and the plan has been arranged without their knowledge. The labor is top valuable and the effect too disastrous for them to encourage the measure." Other droves of negroes are to follow at once. We have no doubt now that a thousand or two will be carried from the Second District. The idea is to carry Indiana, in the next election for the Republicans. Not only will negroes by thousands be taken from the South, butthereis a movement to import some from Ohio. This latter move will not be encouraged, as it might endanger that State in 1880. The Senate will no doubt investigate the matter as the House also proposes to do. A resolution has already been intro duced by Senator Voorhees to raise a committee of five to inquire into the causes of the exodus, and to ascer tain if the movement is political. It will be considered hereafter. TILDES AND KELLY. - The New York Sun does not be lieve that Jobn Kelly will be able to do much against: the regular Dem ocratic nominee for President, whether it be Tilden or some one else. It does not think thai the Democrats need, take Kelly much into the count provided they have a good, sound platform. It says of Tilden: "We do not mean by this that the Dem ocracy must take him if he fulfils alUhe conditions. Then there are Sanford E. Church, David Davis, John M. Pal mer, and GeD. Hancock, all without Spot or blemish, to choose from ." It leaves out the two names that are the most prominent for the nomi nation, namely Seymour and Bayard. We do not suspect that the Sun wishes either Grant or Sherman elec ted. We think, however, it has made a big mistake as to Kelly as a political actor in New- York Til den tried to ignore him in the late eleotion, and we all know the result. Just on the eve of the election it was confidently asserted time and again at. the Rob inson headquarters that Kelly would not get more than thirty thousand votes in the State. We know he got more than seventy-seven thousand. A man of that strength cannot be des pised. The pooh-poohing game will not pay. Tilden and Kelly both ought to have party devotion enough to agree to bary their differences in favor of some other man. Col. McClure, of the Philadelphia. Times, according to oar judgment, hit. the nail on the bead in one of recent letters from Washington, when he said: "Tilden cannot.- be taken and he cannot be diecardedLaw no measure of personal strength would avail any Democruiic can didate if Tilden or Kelly ahall refuse to fa vorhim The Sun appears to think that Til den must be conciliated in order for Democrats to win. We have seen it mentioned by a regular Washington correspondent that the opinion exists in that city that Tilden will name the oandidate if he fails to secure the nomination for himself. But the Nominating Convention is too far off to speculate now with any certainty as to who will be the candidate. We have no donbt that Horatio Seymour can get the nomination if he wishes it, that he can carry New York and three or four other Northern States, and that he oan be elected by a hand some majority.: " About as absurd a procedure as sensible men oan engage in is to meet in Washington early in Decernber,sit for a few days, do nothing, and then adjourn until some time in Jauuary, taking a three weeks' holiday. This is precisely what the Congress does. The Representative from the Char lotte District, Col. Steele, has intro duced a bill changing the time of meeting to jthe second Monday in January. The action of Col. Steele is most timely and sensible. It will probably be safe to wager that the Solons will prove their extreme con servatism in this particular by voting it down. How an old horse loves his old pasture and stable. The British have had four days' hard fighting in Afghanistan, in which they suffered a defeat at one time, but recovered what they had lost and drove the enemy from va rious positions. The total loss of the British is 62 killed, including 2 offi cers; 164 wounded, including 13 offi cers. The' enemy's loss is not given. There are no better soldiers in the World than the British. The history of the Indian Mutiny gives as splen did examples of high courage and great physical endurance as are to be found among the records of civiliza tion in any age of the world. We hope the bill introduced by Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, annulling and revoking the proceedings of the court-martial in the case of General Fitz John Porter, restoring him to the service, and providing for the payment of all arrearages, will pass Congress. The Stab has discussed the merits of General Porter's case before, and our readers are familiar with it. We need only say that the trial was a great outrage and the vindication should be made complete by the prompt action of Congress. THE PERIODICALS. 2he Atlantic Monthly for January appears in new and larger type, and with a differ ent arrangement of matter. We found this number decidedly entertaining. Besides several very clever poems by such true poets as Whittier, Holmes, Story and Har riet Spofford, there are some good criti cisms, an enjoyable paper by Richard Grant White on the "Habits of - English Life," a really graphic article called "Elec tioneerin on Big Injun Mounting," and the first chapters of a new story by the editor, Mr. W. D. Howells. It is all about spirit manifestations, and is written with the scholarly care and grace that distinguishes all that oemes from his pen. The Contri butor's Club is a decided bore. It is not comparable to the earlier numbers. There are other papers which we did not read Price $4 a year. Houghton, Osgood & Co., Boston. 2he Westminster Review for October is an excellent number of a very able quarterly. Besides very full notices of "Contemporary Literature," which are always readable and valuable, there are eight papers as fol lows: The Federation of the English Em pire; The Law of Real Property; The In dian Mutiny; Cavour and Lamar mora; The Bohemians and tolovacks; Prince Bismarck; Lord Brougham; and India and our Colo nial Empire. We relished specially the admirable discussions of the third, fourth, sixth and seventh papers. The' one on Lord Brougham is most noticeable. It is full, candid, very entertaining, and of judicial fairness in its tone. Price $4 a year. The Leonard Scott Publish ing Com pany, 41 Barclay street, New York. cubbent coinnBN-r. Men who were will ing .to de stroy thellnion may naturally enough, when defeated in that, cling to the idea of renewing the conflict and ac complishing success by converting their old conqueror into an Emperor Over both sections. People are blind to the real character of Gen. Grant who imagine this visit of his to the South is to be made without any ul terior object. The ambition of this successful military chieftain is the greatest danger that threatens our republican institutions. New York Sun, Ind.

PMimuttr ueueral Key'i "Onue cemiary Appendage" Badly Demol ished. To the Editor of tlve Hartford Cou rant: A day or two ago I received a for midable envelope from Washington, inclosing a letter and some printed matter. This envelope had certain peculiarities about it. For instance, in its right band upper corner an oval black stamp was printed, bearing the words, "United States Postal Ser vice;" in tbe upper left" hand corner the following words were printed in large, bold type, in three separate! lines thus: - Post Office Depaitmeot, Office of the Postmaster General. -Official Business In the lower left baud corner was printed the following words thus: A penalty of $300 is fixed by late for using this envelope for oilier than Official Busi ness. ' (Here follows tbe letter of Thomas E. Kirby, "Private Secretary to the Postmaster General," to which Mr Clemens replies) 1 My Callow Friend: Wheu you shall have outgrown the efferves cences of youth and acquired a bit of worldly experience, you will cease to make mistakes like that. That is to say, you will refrain from meddling in matters which do uot concern you; you will recognize the simple wisdom of confining yourself strictly to your own business. There are per sons who would resent this innocent piece of impertinence of yours, and say harsh tilings to you about it; but fortunately for you, I am not that sort of person. Whatever else I may lack, I have a good .heart. There fore, in a humane and gentle spirit, I will try to set yon right upon certain small points not to hurt you, but to do you good. You seem to think you have been called to account. This is a grave error. It is the Post office .Department of tbe United States of America which has been oalled to account. There is a differ ence here, which you have overlooked; I will point it out. You are not the Postoffice. Department, but only an irresponsible, inexpensive and un necessary appendage to it. Grave, elderly men, public instructors, like me, do not call private Secre taries to account. Bear, this in mind; it will, be a help to yon. The mistake you have made is simple you have imagined yourself the dog, whereas you are the tail. You have endeavored to wag tbe dog; this was not judicious. You should have hung quiescent until the dog wagged you. If I stepped on his tail and we will grant, for the sake of argument, that I did it was not to call the tail's attention to anything, but only to direct the attention of the main body of the animal to a certain matter. Yon perceive it was simply in the nature of ringing a bell, that is all; my business was not with the bell itself, but with the owner of it. A bell is a useful thing, in a measure, bat it snouia not Keep on ringing when cm is done with it. Do I make myself partially understood? Lest there be any doubt, let me illustrate farther by parable; for the parable is the simplest and surest vehicle for conveying information to the imma tare mind. Yoa seem to have ga thered the impression, somehow, that you are a member of the Cabinet. This is an error. Yoa are only ex traneous matter connected with a member of the Cabinet. Your chief is one of the guns of that battery,but yoa are not. You are not the gun or the load, or even the ramrod; neither do yoa supply tbe ammunition. Yoa only do up the cartridge and serve as a fire-stick to touch it off. You are not the barrel of molasses, yoa are only the faucet through which the molasses is discharged. Yoa are not the boot, but the boot-jack; that is to say, you do not furnish the idea, yoa only pull it off. Yoa are not the lightning, but only the lightning-rod. Do you perceive ? The thing I am trying to ' convey to you is, that it does not become you to assume func tions which ' do . not belong to you. You may think it strange that I am closing this note without saying any thing upon the matter which yoa have broached. Overlook that, drop it out of your mind we do not dis turb the' repose of private secretaries with affairs with which j they have nothing to do. The newspaper slip which you have enclosed to me will be returned to yoa by one of my private secretaries. J keep eleven of these things not for use, bat display, Although I cannot consent to talk public business with yoHf. a be nevolent impulse moves me to; call your attention to a matter which is of quite serious importance to yoa as an individual. You, an un official private citizen, have written me an entirely personal and unomcial . letter, which yoa have had the teme rity to inclose to me in a department envelope, bearine uoon its surface in clear print this plain and unmistaka ble warning: "A penalty of $300 is cat At.Pfimnrr JBpv- aw fixed by law for using this envelope for other than official business."
