By WILIiIABI H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C: Saturday Evening, April 10, 1880. EVENING EDITION. 1N Cni ON THBBK IS .STRENGTH. In speaking of the candidate to be chosen for President the Hartford Times, a staunch Democratic paper, says: "Those who vote at first for favorite candidates will come together on the pre vailing and general idea that a man must be named who is satisfactory to all sides a candidate commanding the confidence of the people, and whose position will rouse an enthusiasm and support that will carry him to victory." This is precisely what should be done in our State Convention. In 1872 the Republicans carried the State after a heated contest. J adge Merrimon made speeches in that campaign of unsurpassed ability in the history of North Carolina can vasses. In 1876 the State was re claimed There never was so much enthusiasm before, and there never were so many speeches made in the State within the same length of time. Gov. Vance, the most popular man in the Slate, led Jhe party, and a great victory resulted. There was zeal, unanimity, enthusiasm and con fidence. These were all essential. If the Democrats succeed in 1880 they must have a State ticket that com mands the confidence of the people and that can solidify and arouse the party. A tame, half-hearted canvass will be sure to result in failure. Put the Democrats on the defensive, or select men who are distasteful to tens of thousands of voters and it will be dreadfully up-hill work from first to last. There is a growing spirit of inde pendency throughout the South. Nothing but the bad record of the Republican party holds the Demo crats together. If our opponents had shown themselves to be just, conciliatory, and reliable there would be no such unity existing as does among the Southern whites. They are held together because of the cor- ruption and dangerous principles and tendency of the Republican party. It will not be wise to present a ticket to the people of North Carolina that will cause deep murmurings in thou Sandra uf hearts and excite a spirit of discontent if not of open resistance. Men of unsallied records, and., who are altogether above suspicion, should be nominated. There are dozens of men in North Carolina, we are glad to believe, who are well qualified to be Governor. They have character, experience, ability and devotion' to the. true interests of North Carolina. They are not so-identified with pub lic transactions as to make them specially offensive to any section. Some one of these should be nomina ted if victory is the' watchword and a united party the inspiration. It is better to look these things squarely in the face before the State Convention meets. ' It is too late to remedy evils and stifle complaints .after the nomination is made. Pru dent men will foresee, the evif and danger and avoid it accordingly. " j, . What isjaid generally of the high est office will apply to all of the other State offices. The right men should be choseu. There are thousands of good and true North Carolinians who are heartily sick of supporting all sorts of men who may be, foisted upon the party by tho tricks and combinations of the "machine" ma nipulators. RUSSIA AND ALEXANDER There is no first' class Power about which so' little is known as Russia. Even in England, where diplomatists are trained and educated for certain fields, there is an unusual amount of ignorance prevailing concerning the only rival it has in territorial expan sion as well as in population. It is only within a few years that informa tion of a reliable kind concerning Russia has been . accessible to the general reader. The important and pains-taking work of MacKensie Wallace, and tho work of Mr. South erland Edwards have supplied the English with far more accurate sta tistics, facts and descriptions of the Russians than it was possible to ob tain before. Mr. Wallace spent a great many years in that country observing closely the habits and cus toms and studying the laws and pe culiarities of the people. We do not propose to draw upon these works, but to give some statistics concern ing the4Rus6ian Empire that will be instructive. Let us mention first one fact not known to many of our readers. The present Czar, Alexander IL, is almoBt a pure German. He has but a small portion of pure Russian blood in his veins. He is of the fifth generation from Peter the Great. Peter married Katherine. Their daughter married a German Duke. The son of this mar riage was Peter III., and he married a German Princess, Katherine II. Their son was Paul. He married a German Princess also. Their son was the Czar Nicholas, the father of Alex ander II., the present ruler. His mo ther is a German Princess also, and a sister of Kaiser William, the present Emperor of Germany. Now for some facts concerning the Russian Empire. It has 8,500,000 square miles. It is nearly three times larger than the United States. It is a little smaller than the British Empire. It has 86,000,000 popula tion. It has twice as many people as any European State. It is one-third a3 great as the British Empire. Its population is 33 to the square mile, whilst the proportion in Europe gen erally is 80 to the square mile. Its national debt is greater than that of the United States or Austria, and more than half of that of France or Great Britain. It pays more interest than Great Britain. Its imports and exports amount to $175,000,000, whilst the United States aggregates $231,000,000, France $300,000,000, and Great Britain $614,000,000. Its inhabitants are divided as fol lows: Russians 56,000,000, Poles 4,700,000, Jews 2,600,000, Ger mans 1,000,000. About 60,000,000 belong to the Greek Church, Ro man Catholic 7,500,000, Mohamme dans 7,500,000, Protestants 2,800,000. The nobility number 886,782; the clergy 601,929. The population of towns amounts to 4,000,000. And now a few words as to the character of the reigning Czar and his reforms. Unless a person has some knowledge of Russian history in the past he cannot well understand the value of the reforms that have been introduced by Alexander II. It must be borne in mind that Russia for a thousand years has been a despotism. The present Czar is the only ruler in Europe' whose will is law. He is literally the head of the Government, judicial, civil and military. He is the head of the Church also. All men who hold office are, appointed by him and re flect his will. His father, the Czar Nicholas, was a despot of a very se vere type. " His whole reign was one of repression and harshness. He ruled with a rod ot iron. The pre sent Czar was about thirty-five when he ascended the throne.) He is now past sixty. He is the second ruler Russia has had in hundreds of years who attained that age. Under his father he felt the cold iron grip con stantly upon him. He learned some useful lessons in the stern school of experience. When he ascended the throne heat once changed the tone of the Government, and his reign has been mild and genial compared with that of his father, or indeed of any of his predecessors or ancestors. He has introduced very important, almost radical, reforms in the finan cial system and has greatly improved the credit of Russia. He has at- I tempted to reconcile Poland. He has introduced "trial by. jury, ' He has -emancipated millions ot-seris. This is his greatest woirkhis crown ing act as a reformer. He did this by his own -personal examplelibe rating his own serfs before be at tempted to liberate all by his act as Emperor or Car. This is certainly very much to his credit. ' He deserves a higher place in , the roll of - fame than any ruler "who has thus far governed Russia. He is absolute monarch, be it remembered, and yet he has chosen, of his own volition, to do these things. And yet he sleeps on thorns and is consumed with fears of assassination. Mr. S. T. Griggs, the well known Chicago publisher, has written a let ter, whioh we find in the -Charlotte Observer, that settles the question of the authorship of the poem entitled "The Long Ago." He says: "It is a part of a long New Year's ad dress, written for the Chicago Journal by Benjamin F. Taylor, while be was litarary editor of that paper, which position he held for thirteen years. There is no possi bility of any other person successfully claiming the authorship of this poem, as the facts and circumstances relating to it are so easy of proof by thousands. I have no copy of the New Year's address, as it is more than a quarter of a century since it first appeared; but it is in the file of the Journal, which cannot be spared. "After New Year's Mr. Taylor, as edi tor, cut up the poem, and inserted parts of it every little while in the Journal, under various titles, and these began to be copied widely, oftentimes no credit being given either to Mr. Taylor or the Journal." We have read the reports concern ing the Springer-Manning matter, and we do not fiud the charges against the former sustained. We fail to see the duplicity charged against Mr. Springer. As to the attempt to bnbeMr. S. we are dis posed to agree with the Philadelphia Times when it says: "As to the bribery story, it is ridiculously improbable that a serious attempt to bribe a member of Congress should have been made in such a way; a contrary theory io voivea stupidity on the part of the friends ot Mr. Washburn and a lower estimate of Mr. Springer's common sense, to say nothing of his honesty, than anybody who knows this shrewd and experienced Illinois Congressman could entertain for one mo menu" Worse and worse. We wrote a notice of Mrs. Siddon and were badly butchered. We said she "shows herself a perfect artist in every touch." It is turned into non sense by substituting truth. Again we wrote of "genius and versatility" being "manifested fcc.,w when lo, we are made to say they were manifold. So much for not reading your own pToof. We also wrote "in which elocution and grace and beauty" and not "or grace." Truck farming is certainly very profitable in the South. It is a won der that it is not more extensively engaged in than it is. The following is suggestive: "The fruit and vegetable business from Florida to Northern and Western cities has grown from about 25,000 boxes in 1874 to 950.000 in 1880." The Field boom has started. He has scored his first victory. Oregon is for him. CURRENT COM Mil NX. Let the Northern Democrats name the candidate, and let New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Connec ticut, Ohio, Oregon and California have the most weight in selecting him and all will be right. Don't drive off the Greenbackers by a cur rency platform with a procrnstean bed, nor the tariff men by the ex treme and impossible free trade re quirements, and we shall sweep the country with Field and Hancock. Lynchburg News, Dem. Samuel J. Tilden is one of the best known of public men from all the various partisan and factious standpoints, and yet he is one of the most difficult of public characters to portray. He is one of the most prom inent of Democratic Presidential can didates, while his strength is the most difficult of all to estimate.. He is the most and the least known of the whole large -brood of Presidential aspirants, and possesses elements of power and. elements of weakness which attach to none of his competi tors. He can cfreate more enthusi asm at long range and chill more men by nearness of contact than any other man in the country, and he is the wisest and weakest of party leaders. Philadelphia Times, Ind. OCR STATE CUMTEnFOBAItlKS, "The question, that brain is mightier than .muscle, is becoming an intensely practical one in this country; and he who fails to understand it is doomed to be come a "hewer of wood and a drawer of water."

Senator Merrimon is a Western man, and faas never done anything specially for the Est as a section that we know anything about. But we honor him for his intel lectual power, the purity of his principles, the stainless merit of his Senatorial record and his devotion to North Carolina in her every interest, her every county and village, and her every pulsation of honor, hope, ambition and patriotic desire. One such man is worth all the railroads in the uni verse, whether they stretch to Dacktown or the last town that ever may be built on the outermost verge of civilization. Neva Bernian.

May Fiske oowhided the city editor of the Logansport (Ind.) Journal last Saturday, and tbe uogallant scribe drew a revolver on the fair blonde, but was pre vented from using it by bystanders. The title "Duke of America" is a burlesque title applied to Grant by a bur lesque King. So far it is very appropriate, for Grant is a burlesque statesman, a bur lesque orator, and, abovo all, a burleeque nobleman. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, that cousin of Napoleon III. who married a seamstress, is said to be now so reduced in circumstances that be is living in tbe most humble manner at Versailles on a small pittance from Prince Jerome. The musieal world in Rome has lost Fra Giovanni, tbe famous tenor, whose chest notes possessed a higher range than those of any other singer, liviog or dead, and whose voice attracted crowds of lis teners in concert hall or church.

One of the rnoat gratifying taots we have to note in connection with the English elections and the success of the Liberals, is the return to Parliament of Sir William E.

It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, Hose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples usrl Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, jJcils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, SU: Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, JCeisralgia, Female Weak nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, linsaciation, and General Debility. By its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out the foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derange tr.enr aud decay. It stimulates and enlivens r.se v.tal functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health, and infitses new life and viror throughout the whole system. No sufferer from any dis- pase winch arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Ayer's AU-.vi'AitiLL.v a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the nmner-ov.-s low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, ;tnd without medicinal virtues, offered as b'.oodrpuritiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. Aveks Saksapakilla is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and pre scribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confi dence of millions whom it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass.
