WILMINGTON, N. C:
Tuesday Evening. Dec. 7, 1S80.
EVENING EDITION.
THREE POINTS IN THE MESSAGE.
Oar synopsis of the President's
annual message covered bat a few of
the many poiuts discussed by him.
The message is welf written. Its
greatest defect is its extreme length.
The reflecting, law abiding citizens
of the country will agree with mach
that he says with reference to the
ballot. All good citizeos are agreed
that the ballot must be pure and
free, and that the count must be
honest. Every citizen is entitled to
the right to vote. He is a sovereign
ufrder our Constitution, and his
highest act of sovereignty is the
exercise of the right and privilege of
casting his ballot. The President
de facto dwells upon the violations
of the right of suffrage, in "the late
slaveholding- States." No doubt the
election laws were violated in many
places in the South in the last elec
tion. It is to be deeply regretted that
such was the case. The leading papers
of the South have made no denial
of it, so far as we have seen. It was
wrong wherever it occurred. Nay,
more than this, it was dangerous and
can only work mischief in the end.
We say this quite deliberately. But
howl? it Hayes can only see abuses
of the rights and privileges of citi
zenship in the South and can see
none of it in the North? Is he blind?
Can he, not read? Is he deaf andean
he not hear? Has he heard nothing
from Philadelphia, or New York
from Massachusetts or Connecticut,
fronT Rhode Island or Maine, from
Indiana or Ohio? Has he no means
of ascertaining what did occur in
those States on election day? Can it
be possible that the President of
these United States, not yet a Na
tion quite in spite of Radicalism, has
heard of no violations of the rights of
the toiite workingmen of the North
has heard of ho intimidations or
threats being resorted to by men
of wealth and capitalists and
manufacturers in the enlightened
and prosperous North? Were these
things done in a corner that
Mr. Hayes never heard of them?
It is chis one-sided view that lessens
our confidence in his sincerity. If he
desires anxioaffy and truly all peo
ple, white as well as black, to have
"the full and free enjoyment of the
rights of citizenship," why did he
not say so? Why did he confine
himself exclusively to the blacks?
Have not the whites any rights un
der the constitution that merit en
forcement? Are they less entitled to
the right of suffrage than are the
blacks? We believe that much that
he says is just, proper and necessary.
We complain of his partiality and
blindness. He wants an appropria
tion for the purpose of prosecuting
all (in the South, we suppose,) who
have violated the election laws.
'This, we hope, will not be granted by
the Congress unless there is a proper
assurance that Radicals in the North j
are prosecuted just as Democrats in j
the South .are prosecuted.
Mr. Hayes of course mounts his
civil service hobby. It is tery re
diculous to read anything from him
concerning civil service reform when
we know how he and his Cabinet
abused it how he rewarded with
office over sixty of the scoundrels
who were engaged in stealing the
votes of Louisiana and Florida. The
devil can cite Scripture, and even a
violator of the civil service can talk
flipplntly and even judiciously about
reforms in that direction, but how
can you respect the man or place any
confidence in what he says ? It is
only to invite and receive ridicule
when he pretends to urge reform m
the civil service of the country. He
did more to bring upon his Adminis
tration the contempt of all decent
men by his own course than all other
causes combined.
We ought to have said above that
it is very absurd4 almost amusing, to
hear Rutherford B. Hayes, who holds
his seat by open, acknowledged, in
contestable fraud, talking well meant
platitudes about frauds in elections,
intimidation of voters, and an honest
count. The deception is too bare
faced the hypocricy is too appa
rent. "Knavery is supple and can
bend." We give Hayes oredit for
not following Grant in his bold, revo
lutionary, usurping, persecuting
, , . o .t
deserves all credit here, for he might
have been more aggressive and more
malignant. Bat his hypocricy we
can but despise.
His reference to educatiou will be
appreciated. After making the igno
rant negro an elector the Northern
people should spend their money
lavishly to qualify him, as far as
possible, to exercise his rights as an
intelligent freeman, to render him
less obedient to tue will of a few
designing, crafty white men, and
to
make him less dangerous to tru
republican government. Let the u
n-
educated people be educated, bu
take care not to substitute the edu
cation of the mind for the religion
of the heart. This is what is done
in New England. We shall hav
occasion to refer to other opinions o
the man who holds the Presidency
that rightfully belongs to Samuel J
Tilden.
TUE NEW SCHEDULE.
The fast mail service by the At
lantic Coast Line is able to run on
time and quick time at that. Think
of it. Only 17 hours and 35 minutes
from New York. At 10:10 P. M.,
Monday,the New York papers of that
morning are at the Wilmington de
pot a distance of six hundred miles.
Richmond, the capital of Virginia,
distant some 243 miles, is only 7
hours and 35 minutes from us.
There are now seven great lines in
the United States with the fast mails
four in the North and three in the
South. By far the most important
of the great Southern lines is the
Atlantic Coast, because it distributes
a much larger mail to places along
the line that represent more actual
commercial activity and importance
than the two other lines combined.
A great service was done these busi
ness centres when the question was
first agitated to give the South the
benefit of a fast mail line. Some
three veara and a half since a mail
service commission visited the South.
They visited Wilmington, and were
cordially received and entertained by
the business men of the city. Col.
Bridgers, President of the Wilming
ton & Weldon Railroad, not only
gave them every facility for seeing
the South under the most advanta
geous circumstances, but he accom
panied them in most of their travels
We do not reveal a secret but state
a plain fact when we say that he did
more to secure the fast mail than
probably all others combined. This
is as well known in Washington as it
is in Wilmington. In saying this we
merely do justice to the zeal and
foresight of a gentleman who is not
cognizant of this statement and would
not allow it he were informed. But
he is entitled clearly to all we have
said. We know something of the
energy and tact and judgment dis
played iu behalf of the cause in
which Wilmington and all the other
towns along the line are so much in
terested. This fast schedule brings us many
hours nearer to every one of the
North em and Southern markets the
great trade centres, and thus in many
ways facilitates business operations.
We recognize it as another advance
on the line of true progress.
We wrote concerning Uncle Re-
mus's book that "many of the fables.
&o.," but we were made to Bay
''folks," and that was not funny.
Attorney General DeveUM niakea
several important recommendations
in.his annual report. He is a St.al-
wart. .EEriiesires more power. He, ,
therefore, recommends, Hot only thP
continuing of the Federal eleclfph
laws, but that they be extended in
their operations so that all polls shall
be under Federal control where Con
gressmen (members of the, House)
are. voted for. This ia in full accord
with the. ..policy of the Republican
party, as was shown in its course
during the last session of Congress.
It is necessary for that party, in or
der to enjoy the full benefits of office,
to have the House as well as the Pre
sidency. If the people are so much
attached to liberty and independence
as to vote as they please and to op
pose Radical candidates at the polls,
then the United States officials must
have control so that this liberty of
the people be not too much abused
at least not to the extent of defeating
faithful and fire-tried henchmen.
This recommendation of Devens
reads well by the side of Hayes's de
ceptive talk about free elections and
a fair count. The kind of free elec
tion they desire is one that will elect
always a Radical.
It will be noticed that the subject
of regulating commerce between the
States has been introduced already
in the Congress. Mr. Weaver's bill
looks to that end. It declares that
lit s the duty of the General Govern-
tenant In CTPminp Its P.Onnt.1 1 11 tlOH al
rights in this direction by the pas
sage of the necessary laws to protect
tho neonle against the ioiustlce of
I 1 C3
railroads. This movement will give
additional interest and signifioancy to
Judge Black's letter and the contest
of the. New York Chamber of Com
merce with great railroad companies.
The resolution of Mr. Frank Hurd
in the House in regard to the tariff
has the right ring. The point's co
vered by it take iu the whole sub
ject. We believe these points im
portant, and that they embody great
truths. The great crying sin of our
oountry is taxing fifty millions of peo
ple for the benefit of five hundred
thousand manufacturers, it is a
crime against civilization an insult
to intelligence. The nresent war
, j-j i
tariff ought to be razed prodigiously.
Its branches ought to be lopped if
the trunk is not torn up by the roots.
It need not surprise any if the
price of breadstuffs should decline
before sixty days. The intelligence
from England contained in the dis
patches of the 6th inst., indicates
that the European demand is less
than the year before, whilst in some
countries the supply is greater. It
is thought probable that within six
weeks the American surplus will find
no demand abroad.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Republican party em
braces, without doubt, a large por
tion of what is called the culture of
the oountry; but it cannot be truly
said that the culture ot the Republi
can party is, in party affairs, ascen
dant, lne maohme is ascendant.
The Republican party claims to be.
the party of religion and morality:
yet it universally and enthusiastically
applauds the indeoent spectacle of a
Beecber gushing over an lngersoll.
As a financier, the Republican party
n as been a lucky time-server: and, as
a political economist, it is the repre
sentative of rings and jobbers, and
must, from the necessities and nature
of the case, continue such. Clean
no party can be which has been in
power so long. Louisville Courier-
Journal- JJem.
But there is another danger,
novel and audacious, insolent and
brazen: the spectacle was reserved for
this period of the vulgar rich publicly
punishing or purchasing the helpless
poor, The memory or tnat great
crime is the parent of remorse and
the seed ot revenge. One editor
8ays,"we coddle the voter too much."
He ought to have said, not coddle,
Dut corrupt. We corrupt the people

Legal Advertising.
Charlotte Dsmocrat.
"We hope that our Legislature, at
its approaching session, will, enact a
law in regard to 'legal advertising,'
directing tho publication in some
newspaper of all notices that are now
directed to be posted 'at the court
house and three otber public places.'
We do not understand how any man
can doubt the propriety of passing
such a law, who will seriously con
sider the matter. We presume, of
course, that the object of posting
notices 'at the court house door and
three other public places' is to give
them publicity. Now, we ask which
would give greater publicity to a no
tMfc, its being posted 'at the court
house door and three other publio
places' or its publication in. a news
paper that is read by hundreds of
people in the county?" Pi ttsboro Re
cord. It would certainly be a benefit to
both debtor and creditor to advertise
all sales of property irksome news
paper, especially when it is sold
under execution or by administrator,
executor or guardian. Sales are
.often made under the present system
where persons interested never heard
of iberu until the whole thing was
over, and some one cheated or de
frauded out ot their just dues. The
Legislature should make a change in
the manner of advertising legal sales.
Olllt STATE OnN'rBnPUItARIKS.
Capital now goes iato Government bands
because they are exempt from taxation . If
we would induce capital to develop our re
sources we must give it at least the advan
tages of temporary exemption. We think
the greatest obstacle which lies In oar road
to progress is that we trust too much to oar
natural advantages. The prime object of
government is protection, and no matter
how great our natural advantages, if the
Democratic party is not sufficiently imbued
with such ideas of progress as will load to
fostering legislation the people should bold
it to a strict account for noa-perforosaace
of duty. Henderson lievieto.

ness, ids iiepuoi.caa panv commenced a
series of persecutions against the Southern
people, luey disfranchised our best citi

upon us; they put us under negro rule, and
attempted to keep us there by unlawful
military Interference with our local govern
ments. These things made the South solid
against lne Republican party, but not
against the Lnion or tho Constitution. The
South to-day is as true to the Union as the
North, and it is more true to the Constitu
