By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N, C. .Thue8Da Evbnik, Nov. 5, 1885. EVENING EDITION. THE SOUTH AND ICIVIL SERVICE. . The Southern Democrats are much misrepresented, we believe, by even some Southern papers as to the Civil Service. Whether this is done from ignorance or not we may not deter mine. We believe the true attitude f of a very large majority of the South- era white voters is about this: They are disgusted with the Civil Service as adminisere'd by the Republicans. Assucn it was an unmixed curse. M The whole public service was abased .to the oppression of. themselves. - Unscrupulous men for the most part were put in control, and active par tisans were the chief instruments ; employed to carry out the designs of the meanest, most wicked, most per- t secuting and corrupt party known to ' modern history. Every office in the , South was filled by an active, earnest partisan, and, as the Southern Bivouac saye, became "a centre of Jnfection." The Southern people demanded, therefore, a thorough, radical change in all this and for the best of reasons. To this end, they have insisted that all Republican officials for they were r. all partisans and claqueurs should ; be turned out at the earliest possible ' a ay. 4 iney ezpectea ana aemanaea . ' more than this; that in turning out Republican wire-pullers care should he taken that their places should not " be supplied by other Republican . - agents, but by honest, trustworthy, " 1- capable Democrats. 'V ' If this is not commonsense we know not what it is. It is the most natural and reasonable thing in the world that a people who had been outraged and oppressed for twenty; years in their rights by active parti ' san workers should be restless and re 7' solved that the curse and affliction ' - should cease whenever the Democrats X got in power. 'i? 18 a class of politieal senti l mehtalists in the South. They are i iso extremely elevated in their no ! , T tions of the dignity and purity of A Party, that V it shocks them in Itheir i;- ' tenderest sensibilities when von talk of giving the offices to Democrats only. ; Ob, no, say these men of awful. It is a ' n& W8 that is awful. It is a great wrong upon the South to have anything whatever to do with the .."spoils." That sort of thing will . damn the party, blast civilzation and rumiue PUDUO Bemce - Ijet thflffl Ibe a civil service law" put to work in good faith and what if it keeps in thousands upon thousands of the Republicans, that doesn't amount to v anything, for they are thoroughly competent, are a pretty Mever set of fellows and have been faithful, v- All the years of persecution and it ,. active partisanship are ' thus forgot . ten, and these sentimental theorists , see: no danger in importing the . . British system into these United States that fastens a regular set of officials upon the. country in per petuity, creates an aristocracy of Government fed officials, and makes permanent a system, that has not one element of true republican-democracy in it. The Civil Service law began to operate with all of the offices of the country in possession of one party. To have it work fair and without friction and free from party bias the offices should have been first equally divided between the two old parties and then have started the civil ser vice machinery. As it is, the ar rangement was unfair and wrong. Who believes that one solitary Republican in all the North, who is now blatant in his advocacy of the; Civil Service system, would have tolerated it for a moment if the Dem ocrats had held possession of the 115,000 offices and under the law would be able to retain a consider able proportion of them ? Now the white voters in the South are firm believers in Civil Service Reform. But what kind ? They be lieve in a system that keeps only honorable, honest, faithful, qualified men in office, and who are not to be meddlers in politics, much less ring manipulators and ward managers. They accept the statement that it is demoralizing to the country to have a partisan civil service. They know in their own sad experience from' 1865 to 1885, that it is worse than demoralizing that it is dangerous to the very liberties of the people. The South wants no fine-spun theory, but a practical, honest, econ omical, thorough system. The South knows that in all the Presidential elections until 1884, the active parti san officials of the Republican party in the United States decided the elections. But for this large and paid army of workers the country would have been spared a vast amount of humiliation, degradation and oppres sion. So down with a Civil Service that retains working partisans in office and makes them the agents and ma nipulators of party in elections. Here is the place for true reform. To have an efficient Democratic Admin istration there must be men in office who are in sympathy with Demo cratic policy and principles. DISESTABLISHING. Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher of England, is in favor of the disestablishment of the Episcopal Church. He says he is not unfriendly to that Church, but wishes it every blessing. He be lieves, however, the union of the Church and State . unscriptural, fraught with countless evils and an injustice toward Dissenters, and therefore it ought to be discontin- ed. In conclusion he says: "I am not disposed o handle the question with bitterness and cannot regret the impending change." We suppose that the entire body of dissenters fa vor the movement, and there are large numbers of Liberals who are not opposed to it. Mr. Gladstone is opposed to- the agitation of the ques tion at this time. He says it belongs to the future. He is a very attached member of the Established Church. That the question is a live oneand will be actively canvassed in the ft? ture is certain we may suppose. The enfranchisement of two millions ad ditional voters will have more or less effect upon deciding the question. Mr. Gladstone has made issues with the .House of Lords, and in two or more instances when the very ex istence of that ancient body was at stake the landlords were signally defeated. Mr. Gladstone has em phasized the present prevailing Brit ish opinion in the statement thar the House of Lord 8 must 6imply act as registering the decrees of the House of Commons or cease to exist. The New York limes, that discusses British affairs with intelligence, says: "The Church is in the same position as the House of Lords. That is to say, it will be tolerated so long as it does not op pose or counteract the declared will of the majority or. we voters, "NTnhnrtw fn toll however, at what time or upon what oues- uuu me conduct win come. I The New York TW-TthinV- tw Logan and Foraker are the cause of the Republican defeat in that State, The Washington Post regards it as owing to the Cleveland Administra- t on - (Hhor nannia V,o v I w-wp. Vw, fvasvao . UCfcVO papers their theories of what caused the defeat. The Stab suggested the real cause, we have no - doubt, in yesterday's issue. It is this: the Stalwarts were put to the knife in the Republican Convemtion, and the Stalwarts put tne Kepnbhcan nominees to the knife at the ballot-box. Conkling did not even register. Then Tammany stood firm. It i8 the sherest fnlW nA nonsense for Cleveland, Tilden and others to try to ignore Tammany. r There is no Democratic victory in that State when Tammany revolts. The bloodyshirt is now ready for the ash-box in the corner. Gen J ohn Sherman, and Black Jack Logan and Ensign Foraker are at a heavy dis count. Why cannot we have an oyster canning faotory in Wilmington ? If not here, why cannot there be one at Jacksonville, Onslow county, or some other point. There are immense oyster beds in this State. The wa ters of Eastern Carolina if properly utilized could produce millions of dollars worth of oysters. Between Mobile and New Orleans there are on the Gulf coast five oyster facto ries. Their goods are readily sold in that section and have supplanted all other canned goods. The first thing is to produce the oyster in abundance, and then to have an out- eft" A canning factory here would certainly pay if we had the necessary speedy communication by water or rail. There is no reason why the delicious bivalve may not be cultiva ted and canned as cheaply as in any part of the North. It is not generally known that Gen. McClellan labored for five years on a history of his own campaigns. It was nearly completed when he went to Europe. Before his departure the manuscript was safely packed away with other valuables. The sequel is given by the Washington correspon dent of the Boston Post as follows: "When he was returning from his for eign trip, and steaming up the bay, he was informed that toe warehouse was burniDg, and when he arrived up town be discovered that all bis property had been destroyed. This was a severe blow to him. One day several years ago I said to him, 'Why don't you do as Carlyle, after his 'French Revo lution was burned go to work again and reconstruct jour memoirs ? You owe it to yourself and family. 'I have not the heart to begin it,' he said, 'and more than that, I fear that many of the documents could never be replaced.' " A REMARKABLE AMERICAN NOVEL. The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountatns. By Charles Egbert Craddock. New York Daily Star. It may appear somewhat far fetched to liken the work of a young American author, who has produced as yet but two novels and a book of short stones, to that of the great novelist of Russia. But there are points of resemblance between Tur- geneit as a writer and the young woman who uses the pseudonym of "Charles Egbert Craddock" that make the temptation to compare al- most lrresistioie. miss oiuriree is doing for the strange folk who dwell in the Tennessee mountains nothing less than what lurgeneff did for the serfs and landholders of the Russian steppes. The world knew nothing at all, not even that such people existed, about the Tennessee mountain folk until Miss Murfree took up her pen to sketch them. . The speech of those people, the crys tallized speech of some H.nglieh dis trict of a couple of centuries back, their manners, their morality, their character as developed in their eyerie isolation all these she sets down with a poet's ' insight and a savant's precision. Moreover, she paints the majestic scenery amid which their wild lives are passed as we have sel dom seen nature limned by the word artist. In this again Turgeneff is suggested. Miss Murfree seems to have an eye, an ear and a nostril as sensitive to the beauties of nature as his; her details are given with all his copious minuteness and delicacy; like r8le-even reproduces the scents with which her atmospheres are la den. From this meager outline it will be seen that the plot of this story is somewhat incoherent, though original. tJut the interest depends less on the plot than on any other element. Ihe lifelise force with which these queer, wild charac ters are presented, with their strange lives, tbeir dialect, their vendettas, their illicit ways, the extraordinarv vigor and beauty of the descrip tions Of scenery, the real poetic feeling that leavens the whole and the artistic tact with which it is fin ishedconstitute this book a tower of literary strength. It is by no means a perfect book, to be sure. It has blemishes and failings that an artist of Miss Murf ree's ability will avoid when her art is maturer. But, such it is, it stands out strongly among the recent achievements of our American novelists. -It is Miss Mur- free's habit to keep constantly calling attention to the setlmg of her scenes. so that a description like this occurs on every other case. If thev do break the narative, yet we can hardly complain, for almost all of them are as true, as delicate, as suffused with sentiment as landscapes bv Corot. But if this Miss Murfree can give us Corot-like bits of land scape, she can likewise give.UB scenes or luna power worthy of the brush or saivator Kossa. For m(ttiBAn r. I, . T 1 tvbcouo uumor ana numor is a quality that Miss Murfree happily possesses we would refer to an ad mirable scene between the two old granaiatners ot the "prophet." CURRENT COMMENT. Senator Sherman is distressed at our. attitude, and assumes that w are following the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson as opposed to the doctrines of John Marshall. ' Mr. Sherman de liberately selected Marshall as the an tithesis of Jefferson. ' He doubtless imagined that mention of Alexander Hamilton would not be so favorably received by a Virginia audience. He has talleA. into grave error; ; Ihe whole bouth reveres John Marshall and renders obedience. to his deci sions. If any one anywhere has ever resisted a decision of the United States Supreme Court during or since the days of John Marshall, we have never beard of it. Marshall " , by his decisions has incorporated his views of government into the very frame work of this Union, and we have yet to learn that those views are not the doctrines to day of the Democratic party. That which Jefferson devised was dhrystalized by John Marshall, and enforced by Andrew Jack son. It was riot until the days the days of John Sherman and Eliza Pinkston, Judge Durell and Lan- daulet Williams, Judge Busteed and Uakes Ames, that John Marshall s decisions and opinions were treated as waste paper, and when the court over which he ruled for more than thirty years was packed by a parti san President at tbe bidding of Wall street in order to reverse and annul a righteous decision. Mobile, Regis ter, Dem. The New York Star has ex ceptional facilities for getting at the bottom of the Grant & Ward ini quities, and it is making good use of them. The tables which it published Wednesday are astounding, lhey show how a thousand dollars of bor rowed money earned a profit of $2-, 800 in ten days, and $ 5,000 in sixty days, and how in twenty-one months the business thus begun yielded a pront of f 1,000,000 in cash and $3, 800,000 in obligations of the firm. In some instances a dollar earned at the rate of 160 per cent, a year, and in other cases at the rate of 1920 per eent. a year. It is a startling tale of credulity and rascality. Boston fost, Dem A Lively Sword Contest. San Fbancisco, Nov. 2. An in teresting mounted sword contest took place yesterday afternoon at Wood ward's Gardens, between Duncan C. Rosp, the well known athlete, and Captain E. N. Jennings, late of the Hagbth Royal Irish Hussars. In a match between the men last April xtoss was so seriously wounded that the contest bad to ,be stopped. The match yesterday was bitterly con tested, the- men being closely matcbed. Un the twentieth attack Jennings dealt a tremendou blowthat dislocated Ross's elbow. The latter gnashed his teeth and grrasping his sword in his left hand advanced on Jennings with such vigor and ad dress that for a few moments the Hussar was nonplussed. The con test continued for three more assaults, when Jennings was declared the vie tor by one point. OVlt STATE CONTEMPORARIES.
