EVENING EDITION.
GEORCIaVN ON SOtTXUBHIf TEN
AJ?, . DENCIES. -
Prof.' H. C- Carney, of Emory
College, Georgia, in a recent striking
communication in the Philadelphia
American, refers to the growth of
the national" or "progressive senti-,
ment". in the South. He says this
sentiment is growing in the Demo
cratic 8 party, and it is no longer a
- "strict" construction, but a "free
construction" of the Constitution
that is . popular. This is only too
true." The entire North Carolina del
egation in Congress. voted, for the
1 Blair bill, which is both in letter and
spirit - violative of a strict construc
tion of the Constitution. But let us
' - quote the language of Prof. Carney.
. I He says: v
- "In the Democratic party the most pro-
. gre&sive sentiment now holds for a 'free
V construction' of the Constitution and a
ttrong central government, commissioned to
'promote the general welfare. Notwith

t tions, ' the protective system of revenue for

all this will bo to break up State
Governments finally and bind them
hand and foot in .the chains that
-air, aggressive Congress shall rivet
upon them. The Democratic party

r Bat let 'tti again r quote tfrom the
Georgian Professori who has evi
dently closely observed the Bituation.
He sees with clear optics the gather-
ing stornlduaVHeyayaV'--'
RevertiBg to the" developments recited,
it is asked: What' has the Democratic
party to do, theoretlcallV or historically,
-with the national idea of government now1
so widely received in the South T Nay," if
it accept this, where is its nucleus, and
then its permanency t Butieal Democrats,
in nature as well as by name, do not accept
it. Still, it is a separate party basis,-and
demands a separate following. What has
the same-party to do with a high protective
tariff? Yet- this - doctrine is . spreading
rapidly, and its adherents are characterized
for intelligence and enterprise, men who
make opinion and lead in society. Again,
how can, this party indorse the present
guardian policy of . the general government
toward internal interests? - Virtually, there,
is no need nor evil of any magnitude over
which it does not claim jurisdiction. .Liise
Wise, a system of civil seireice, based on a
tenure of office qualified by efficiency and;
good conduct only, 'is not Democratic,
either in theory or traditions. : Both these
doctrines, however, find abundant and
growing favor with us. Quite v naturally
these all find their support in the same
class."
? He is correct when he Bays that
'fredl Democrats,
in- nature as well
as by name, do not accept these se
rious departures.' Not a bit of it.
It is because of this fact that it is
well to recognize that there is a cer
tainty of a new , organization of par
ties before many years and a restate
ment of principles that are funda
mental, axiomatic, and essential.
There are in every town, township,
county, State, men who are "real
Democrats," and who will not under
any circumstances favor an aggres

AN ADVOCATE OP A STOCK LAW.
i Daring the session of the Legisla
ture the senior editor of the Ashe
ville Citizen wrote from Raleigh an
instructive letter some points of
I which we noted at the time. Pie
gave an account of our old friend
Sanderlin (not a Doctor as called)
who is a Baptist; minister of parts
and a large and? successful farmer.
Mr. Sanderlin was before a commit
tee of the Legislature and he was
allowed to address it on the subject
of a "stock law," and the editor of
the Citizen represents him as making
an effective talk of nearly an hour
long. He was much in favor of a
stock law It had been tried with
satisfactory results both "to farmers
and farm laborers." He referred to
the cost and labor of erecting and
keeping up lawful fences and is
then quoted as sayingwith reference
to some of the good results that have
followed a test of the stock law:
I "New breeds of cattle and - hogs ere in
troduced and there is wide-spread, growing
and marked improvement in this particu
lar; 1 remark, parenthetically, that one of
the farmers present stated that last week he
jiad killed 140 hogs and had on hand,
feady to kill, 175 more, all raised on pas
ure under the atock law system.: And it
Was demonstrated that under the old sys
tem it cost and will ?do1t-every where
more than the value of stock running at
large to keep fences in repair. Dr. Sander
lin said that: the proper person to take care
Of stock was the owner himself. If he had
them., on : pasturage he could look after
(hem. , If they ran loose, then everybody
else looked after them, of ten to the owners
loss. ; He combatted very successfully the
Claim set up for free pasturage. He had
no objection to it, if, its advocates would;
build tences to Keep their . stock off or his
own land. The law. forbids no man to
build fences if he so wished; but he pro
tested against, being; compelled to build
fences for the convenience of other people."

of decided intelligence, his testimony

"A PIRATE."
t In the extract we copy elsewhere
on James M. Morgan, from the New
JTork limes, it will bs seen that he is
characterized , as a ''pirate." Mr.
Morgan has been recently appointed
to a foreign consulate. He was a
warm supporter of the "tattooed
man," Jim Blaine of Maine, in the
last Presidential election. But it is
not because of this that the lUmes
brands him as a pirate." The fact

the coupons are to be made legal
only by violating the Constitution
than we are against the whole move
ment. People who believe that the
States have rights under the Consti
tution and that it is a wrong prinoir
pie to do evil that good . may cjome
will not favor a theory that is sub
versive of those rights. The Pater
nal Government theory is full of
danger. We do not believe in State
repudiation, and we, therefore, be
lieve that Virginia's coupons ought
to be good for taxes. But whilst
saying this we do not believe that
the decision of the five J udges is a
right decision if it be true that that
it violates the principle that an in
dividual can not sue a State. Re-
f erring to the course of the Attorney
General the Washington Post of '
Thursday says:
' "Attorney General Garland, i.n appear
ing for the State in his private capacity as
an attorney and in fulfilment of an en
gagement entered into while a Senator, de
clined to argue that question or even take
it into consideration, fle planted himself
upon the broad and strong ground that all
these legal proceedings of coupon holders
were practically suits against States in vio
lation of ' the Eleventh amendment of the
Constitution of the United Stales, sndthat
it was not of the slightest importaucajwhat
the suits were about. The four dissenting
Supreme - Court justices Sustain Mf . Gar '
land's view and hold that all these pro
ceedings are suits against States."
Russia stands by its Komaroff
whilst all the world except Russia is
much inclined to believe that the
Muscovite. is doing some successful
lviner. . That he has not told his
Government the truth is plain enough
from the statement of Sir Peter
Lumsden. The Philadelphia Times
goes to the kernel of the controversy
when it says:
"The one weak point in General Kema
rorT's position is that revealed by Sir Peter
Lumsaen'g dispatch stating that on the 29th
of March, the day before the battle, the.
Afghan commander did not refuse to with
draw his advanced pickets, stationed, as
claimed, to watch the apprehended advance
of the Russians, but the Afghan command-
Lor, on the contrary, distinctly declared: 'I
am preparea to arrange wiin ye witn a view
to the avoidance of any risk of a conflict.'
This is plain and honest language, and it
appears to throw the immediate responsi
bility of the battle on Gen. Komaroff."

I Charleston, April 22. The News
and Courier explains. the mystery of
the Confederate bond crazed as fol
lows: "Judah P. Benjamin, Secretary
of State of, the Confederacy from
1862 until its collapse, was the origi
nator of tho'plan by-which a demand
was created for the bonds.. At. differ
ent times the Confederate Congress
voted large,, sums for secret ser
vice, . the .principal deposits bet
ing in Londpn and Paris banks. The
funds were placed to the credit of
citizens of Great Britain and France
who were friendly to the South. At
the close of the war there was an un
expended balance-of $5,080,000. Mr.
Benjamin consulted with these agents
I as to the disposition of the money
aud it was agreed that it should not
be surrendered to the United States.
The question was then how to dis
burse the money so as to best benefit
those entitled to it. It was con
cluded that the people who had given
their means to the Confederacy for
its bonds, were entitled tp the money
and the bonds were advertised for
and to cover the real object of the
movement it was hinted that the
bonds were, to be held by speculators
and that suit was to be instituted
asrainst the' United - States for their
payment." ' '

Norfolk Virginian.
Some weeks ago Rev. Dr. Sledd,
of the Granbv Street church, ad
dressed a small congregation at a re
vival meeting, and spoke in a very
impressive manner touching a pre
sentiment he had had. Said he: "I
feel that something startling is just
ahead of us. It may be a revelation
of mercy; it may be & visitation of
judgment, but I feel within me that
something startling is about to hap
pen to this community." - The Doc
tor was seen yesterday and reminded'
of his prophecy. He : replied at
once: "I thought of it as soon as X
beard of the bank failures." It may
be mentioned here that the members
of the Granby. Street congregation
had some $100,000 deposited in the
suspended banks.

City.rose with fearful rapidity in tne dark
ness or tne mgnt. About 4 o clocs in tne
morning a number of houses in the bottom
were sweet awav. the occuDants neeine
for their lives, leavine everything behind.
One cnild was drowned, but tnere is reason
to fear the loss of several other lives. From
above town., three houses passed down
tne Stream, from which, above trie rush of
waters, cries of distress were plainly
heard. The loss of live stock in tne vicin
ity is very, serious. The carcasses of
horses, cows and sheep are passing by at
frequent intervals. The engine house at
the water works is submerged. The dam
age to the town and to property along the
river will aggregate many thousand dollars.
