By WILIIAitI II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C: Friday Evening, April 16, 1880. EVENING EDITION. "THE IQECRLENBUBG DECLARA TION." "It matters bat little whether the resolu tions of the Slst of May, 1775, were the first or second series. In either event they seem to be fatal to the 'Declaration' made on the 20th. If they were the first series, then thoso of the 20th wers never adopted at all; and if they were the second 6eries, they went back upon and virtually repealed those of the 20th. This view is commended to the consideration of Mr. Bailey and the Wilmington Star. Neither of them will deny that the resolutions of the 31st stop ped short of independence." Siaiesvkle American. The Star has before given its opin ion of the merits of the claim set np for the genuineness and authenticity of the Mecklenburg Declaration. We cannot go into the matter at length and at this time. We may say briefly; that we have read pretty much all that has been written pro and con on the subject. Beginning with the late Dr. Francis L. Hawks'a paper iu the New York Review, of 1836, we have read all that Welling, Spofford, the New York Herald, Goodloe, Gra ham, Johnstone Jones, Dowd, Dr. Johnson, aud others have had to say, including Dr. Hawks's address before the New York Historical Society. We oj2 held that there had been no Declaration on the 20th of May. We cannot doubt now, nor have we doubt ed for years, that there was a Decla ration on the 20tb, but we do not believe we have the document the exact words that were used and were read and adopted at Charlotte. We believe that the people who issued the Declaration on the 20th were acting under great excitement. The Resolutions adopted oo the 31st show that they had time to reflect and systematize. It was a great act this cutting a people off from the home government and setting up for themselves. The Resolutions show that thoughtful men had considered the whole situation, and had prepared a new government whilst cutting adrift from the old. The Resolu tions were regarded as very treason able by the Royal Governors of North Carolina and Georgia, and they must be regarded as very extreme. They are the resolves of a long-suffering, loyal and resolute people, who, des pairing of redress, had taken steps to set-up for themselves. The times, were peculiar. Population was sparse, the people were treading an unknown path. It is not surprising that the fiery words of May 20th, uttered im mediately after the news of British outrages in Massachusetts had been received, should be toned down some what upon reflection at a subsequent adjourned meeting, and whilst a loop hole of escape was left open for a re tracing of the dangerous steps in case Great Britain should relent. It is clear to our apprehension that the patriots of Mecklenburg on the 31st of. May had no hope that gucl a coarse .would be adopted. Hence the Resolutions contemplate the setting op of a new government - independent -of the British Crown. -. But whether the two actions that of the 20th and that of the 31st can be fully reconciled in all particulars or not of this we are assured ; there was an important meeting held at Charlotte on May 20th. The evi dence on this point is to our mind absolutely overwhelming. We can no more'donbt that than we can doubt any event that rests upon human tes timony. We are satisfied that many revo lutionary, inflammatory sentences were read on that day, and that they were folly equivalent to a Declaration of Ipdependence. We have not suffi cient proof that the document then read has been preserved. The ipsis sima verba have been lost, we think. We are not undertaking an argu ment. It would require twenty columns to treat the subject intelli gently. We are only stating our matured conclusion after a long and patient investigation of the matter. There is no stronger proof to attest the fact that Green and Cornwallis fought at Guilford Court Hoase than there is to prove that there was a very important meeting at Charlotte on May 20th, 1775, when a highly treasonable and revolutionary docu ment was read and adopted by the people tLere assembled. If the Resolutions contained in Dr. Johnson's book, with the heading Second Series, are a correct and ex act transcript of those that appeared in the South Carolina' Gazette, then, to our miud, it was clear there was a first series. This is very important. If a First Series, then what? Why the statement of Gen. Joseph Gra ham and some fifteen or twenty other witnesses is confirmed as to the fact of a meeting on that day. This shows that their memories were not so much at fault after all, and they may be trusted as to the general character of the document read and adopted. They are good witnesses as to what was contained in the First Series. But, we have done. We have no idea of going into a thorough examination of the matter and de novo. A REACTION IN fHB MARKETS. When all kinds of goods began to advance with such rapidity we felt sure it would not last. There was no good reason why iroD, for instance, should advance fifty or seventy-five per cent. A gradual rise promised permanency, but a feverish nd ex cited market was sure to result at last in a decline. We noted days ago the beginning of a reaction which promises to continue until mo derate prices are reached. The Bal timore Gazette says: "The reaction has come sooner than we anticipated. Ins well for the country that it has, for the longer it was put off the more disastrous would have been its effects. As it is, while there is considerable depres sion in the iron trade, which is the barome ter of business throughout the country. there has been no general reversal in toe tide of prosperity. Speculators have suffered keenly, and a sinister warning to all classes has been given, but fortu nately credits have not been seriously shaken. Those who are wise, however. will not fail to derive a valuable lesson from the decline in the prices of iron. The manufacturers of that commodity, encour aged by the sudden and widespread de mand, attempted to rush prices up to ab normal figure?, .but the country, while it wanted iron, did not want it at any fancy prices, and the consequence was that after the first flush of speculative excitement the demand fell off and prices declined." There was no advance to a corres ponding extent in grain. Cotton has declined, and the prospect is not alto gether flattering. It is known that there is a larger acreage planted in cotton in the South, and a much larger acreage plaDted in grain in the Northwest than in 1879. Unless something unseen occurs to give a boost to the grain and cotton market, there is good reason to apprehend that the prices will rule eompara itvely low and much financial distress be caused. Speculators will be hurt and many will be ruined. The Ga zette, however,-is disposed to take a cheering view of the future. It says : "The basis of our present prosperity is broad, and, as far as human intelligence can predict, enduring. There is every reason to hope that we .shall continue to grow fat and make merry, but those per sons who hasten to dissipate their profits before they are fairly earned, in speculation or extravagance, will find that they hare seized but the shadow, and not the sub stance, of better limes." All kinds of goods have a tendency downwards. This is not bad news for the purchasers. In this section naval stores are at a -low and unre- munerative figure. Thirty-four factories in Georgia are ex empted from taxation. They own prop erty worth $4,138,875. Exchange. The Star and other papers have heretofore urged that the Constitu tion of North Carolina be so amend ed as to exempt all new factories of various kinds from taxation for a certain term of years. It is believed, that such a course would promote the manufacture of cotton especially. It is very certain that the multtplica tion of factories ".will - tend .to ; make the State richer; " The factories jof South" Carolina- are worth at: least $2,000,000 to that State. It would be probably wise to endeavor to stimulate the development of manu facturing by an exemption from taxa tion for five years from the comple tion of ail factories. We are disposed to agree with many of our exohanges that it is wrong to forcoa particular system of books upon the common sohools of the State. In the first place it is very difficult to determine which is the best series. Some book or books of a series may be good and others poor. Publishers are to be mainly benefited, and at the expense of the pockets of the patrons of the school. Spme teachers, wisely or not, object to using a given series. They have been teaching other kinds, are fa miliar with them and attached to them and are loth to give them up. We think it will be better to allow the County Commissioners scope in the matter, and let them determine whether this series or that shall be used, or whether any special series shall be adopted. Edmunds is beginning to boom. He has fired his first gun in Massachu setts, and that State is now ranged under his colors. Vermont and Mas sachusetts will stand shoulder to shoulder in a common fight against the peace and prosperity of the coun try. Their oriflamme is blazoned with "Edmunds and Centralization A Strong Government for the People." We would much prefer Grant for President to a man of the Edmunds type. He is able, but narrow, pro vincial, unfair and bitter. The cardi nal point in his creed is hatred, un mixed and exhaustless, of the South. CURRENT COMMENT. While we deny the South ever tried to destroy the government, but affirm she endeavored to save it, and is still laboring to restore it to its original purity, the paragraphs quoted, coming, as they do, from a Northern 'standpoint, are worthy of consideration. We fear Bayard is unavailable, but Field and others of the same high character are not. The South must not have a candidate forced on her by the will of States that ho cannot possibly carry. "Our delegates must be men of prudence and calm judgment. Columbus Ga.) JEnquirer-Sun. A9 regards the Premiership, the Queen's likes and dislikes still have a good deal to do with the elec tion. That rather slow-minded and pedantic person, the late Prince Con sort, once fairly ousted Lord Palmer eton from the Ministry because of a personal dislike; and when the Derby Disraeli administration was defeated Earl Granville was selected in pre ference to either Lord Russell or Lord Palmerston to form a Liberal Ministry. Earl Granville U a polished courtier, who is personally more ac ceptable to the Queen than Mr. Glad stone, and it is therefore thought most likely that the Queen will send for the former, although the true head and leader of the Liberal party is in disputably Mr. Gladstone.

Lord Dalkeith addressed two meet ings in Midlothian, one at Pathhead and the other at Gorebndge. At the close of the former meeting a dog cart came in contact with the car riage conveying his Lordship. One of the wheels of the carriage was carried away, but no one was injured. The noble Lord was pelted with turf and sand at the close of the Gore bridge meeting. From the Manchester Examiner. An assault of a very aggravated character was committed on Wednes day evening last, at Kirkwall, on Mr. John Pender, who lately represented the Wick Burghs in Parliament, and is at present the only candi date before that northern con stituency. On leaving his hotel a noisy crowd surrounded his carriage, and he at first hesitated to proceed to Stromness. Some of his supporters, however, thought the feeling was in his favor, and he stepped in, but before his private secretary or any friend could follow him the crowd ran off with the car riage at full speed, leaving the ho norable member's friends to follow as best they could. On arriving at the Ayre road an attempt was made to run the carriage into the sea. It was got off the road on to the beach;, but fortunately the pole became de tached from the carriage, and, the fore, wheels -getting locked, it was brought to a stand. The glass win dow was broken and driven into the carriage, and Mr. Pender's hat was smashed. Mr. Pender left the car riage, and addressing the crowd, ap pealed to them for protection from such conduct After the pole had been got clear of the vehicle an at tempt was again made to run off with it, but this the better disposed among the.crowd prevented, and Mr. Pender was allowed to continue the journey. From the London Daily News. At Cardiff last night, March 30, an extraordinary disturbance occurred. Mr. Reed's torchlight procession was driven back by tne lnsn,- anq party fights took place In which sticks and stone s - were ' freely used.- Several persons had their heads broken, and were5 kdocked down and kicked. Banners were torn from the proces sionists' hands, and the scene of vio lence was general. Mr. Reed was unable to obtain a hearing in front of the Royal Hotel. A telegram from Cardiff at a late hour last night says that the streets were entirely in the bands of an excited mob, but that the people are gradually dispersing. The fighting had been general, and a large number of persons had been beaten with sticks. , From the London Tulegraph. After the result of the Ripou elec tion was made known last night, March 30, serious rioting occurred in front of the Black BulP Hotel, the headquarters' of the Conservatives' candidate. A large and unruly crowd of several hundred persons attacked the front of the hotel and attempted mi . to force an entrance, iney were re sisted, and a fierce fight ensued. Pa ving stones were lorn up, and the front of the hotel was completely wrecked. A force ef twenty police men was sent to the spot, and charged the mob. Several persons were seriously injured. Cod&IIos sod the Landlord. Among the new anecdotes is one told by the Springfield Republican about Senator Conkling: A hotel keeper in Washington who went to school with him hadn't met him for years. One day Conkling went to his hotel to engage rooms, and stood iu the office talking to the clerk. The proprietor came down stairs and stepped up and held out his band, 6aying: "Roscoe, how are you ?" Conkling took no notice of the prof fered hand, but drew himself up and said: "I am Senator Conkling, sir." "You're a fool, that's what you are," was the response. Conkling turned majestically to the clerk and said: 4Can I have rooma hero?" "No, sir !" shouted the irate proprietor, "not in my house nor upon any terms !" OUR STATE COriTEtTIPOIEARIKK.
