v- 1' . , . WILLIAM H BESBARD. WILMINGTON, N. a Saturday .Moranre, Mat 2. GOOD FOB. BOTH 8XCTI0SS: It is regarded as a.., somewhat slg- . nificant fact that the recent opin Ionia the Alabama case by the United States Supreme Court was delirered by Justice Holmes, ex Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, and an ex-Union soldier, too. With such a record he cannot be suspected of haying been influenced in his utterances by any bias against the negro. The opin ion is practically a declaration that, the Supreme Court of the United States or any other court of the United States has nothing to do and can hare nothing to do in deciding cases that are in their nature polit ical, and that all such cases come within the jurisdiction of the branch of the Government that has to do with political matters, and to it, that is to Congress, recourse must be had for redress of political griev ances. This .simplifies the situa tion, and brings such questions up to Congress. Coming so soon after and being in such substantial accord with the recent decision of the United States Circuit Court at Richmond, in the Virginia case, (which was to all intents and purposes practical ly the same as the Alabama case) we take it that there will be no .further efforts to get a Federal Court's de cision against the right of a State to enact qualified suffrage laws, which in the nature of the case would nec essarily disqualify more negroes than whites, and hence seem to be framed with that end in view, whether they really were or not. This decision has been welcomed throughout the South as the settle ment, as far as rthe courUjure,-concerned, of anraniwngand irritat ing question, for ft ia recognition of the right of the Southern -Spates to regulate the suffrage question for themselves, either with, regard to or witnout regard to restricting Federal statutes, leaTing.-with the Congress of the United States the option and responsibility of taking action in such cases and of impos ing the penalties provided in those statutes, which in the case of re stricted suffrage it would be re stricted representation, provided that statute, in the shape of a con stitutional amendment, held good in law. That is the penalty proposed to be imposed by some of the Bepub-. lican Congressmen until they found that in imposing it they would have to hit some of the Republican States in the North, which would raise a racket because none of them would quietly see-ita . representation in Congress or in the electoral college reduced. There may, possibly, more to play to the ; negro voters in the North than with any serious Idea of trying to carry it out, be some talk in Congress of reducing Southern representation, but it will be only talk, and moreover when they talk that way it will be a virtual recogni tion that qualified suffrage, or, as it is sometimes called, "negro disfran chisement," is an accomplished fact which cannot be undone. But there will be no serious move ment in that direction for the ad ditional reason that this decision of the Supreme Court Is as acceptable to the thinking people of the North as to the people of the . South, for it brings the country one step nearer, and a very long step, towards silenc ing the negro suffrage clamor of which the people of the North have become pretty tired.; The thinking people up there, especially in those States where the negro vote has been increasing much in the past few years, realize that this may in no distant future become an im portant question; with,, them: and they would exceedingly regret to find themselves restrained from dealing with it by . handicapping do-', cisions rendered in the cases' of Southern States, They now feel that thej can1 if At. should become necessary, so -amend their suffrage laws as to protect themselves from the vicious and venal negro vote which has within the past few years been increasing so rapidly and be coming so strong in some of their cities. ( That la. looking to home.,, t Bnt there are other reasons why the thinking people of the North welcome this decision. Thousands " of Northern and Western people have come into the South, to make it their home and thousands more will come. MIUlQnj.oX. Northern capital haTe been layested In South ern enterprises, " In . iplnean6J timber, railroadJactoriwV:'tret car lines, electrio light pfcntij powr; er pknts,- fcas tTanta otner enterprises, and it is to the Interest of all of these that we have in the South good, stable, honest, efficient State, county and munici pal governments, which. - would be Impossible without intelligent suf frage, and , the ... elimination; ; of the venal " element' .iron. the franchise. In other words, capital isti who have their, money 4nveste4 In the South or contemplatesuoh investment, and Northern people who have come South to live, ani others who contemplate coming, see and realize . the necessity for white lupremac j, .because In; that is the only guarantee of intelligent, patrfot- ic and responsible suffrage. The con trast between the condition of the South under mixed rule and under white rule has been established, settles the question beyoud doubt and leaves no' room for speculation there. ' ' The intelligent people of the North, regardless of party, know V Jand thence they have acqui esced in the methods adopted by the Southern States to eliminate the objectionable elements and establish white supremacy; and hence, too, they gladly accept this recent de cision of the Supreme Court as a judicial ratification of these meth ods, making them less a question fox disputation than they were be fore, and less cause for exciting and irritating agitation. 7 KxzpnrononQSAjTTSouT. Of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who annually come to this country very few come to the South, so few as to be practically insignificant in number, . and while, of course, these are exceptions, some of there being a very good and de sirable class of people, many of them, and very many of ihem, are anything but desirable. Considering the fact that land is cheap in the South, transportation facilities by rail good, and numer ous seaports at. which immigrants could land direct, some people won" der that so few come this way. But there are reasons for it, and very good reasons, too. Nearly all the immigrant carrying Bteamship lines sail from the port of New York, and bring their car goes of human beings to that port, whence they go to the objective points, many of them without tarry ing long enough to take a look at the landing place. They buy through tickets, are put at once on trains and whirled through the country to their destinations. They have been doing this for years, under a regular system, and it is but natural that they continue to do it yet. There are other reasons besides this, but the principal one is the negro South, whom a good many unsophisticated Europeans have never seen, and whom many believe to be a savage. For years immigra tion agents from the ,West, and others representing railroads which have large bodies of land for sale, have been playing upon, this igno rance, and it seems are still doing so. As an illustration of how this game is worked we clip the follow ing from the Savannah Nevis: la his address before the Chamber of Commerce last week Mr. J. K Orr, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, said tnat when be . was la Barope he noticed many maps of the United. Statea-wblch had been cen tered everywhere there for the parpose of advertising the. West,, particularly the lands owned by Western railways. But the feature of many of the maps that auraeted.nia attention -waa.tms:. The South era Statea were ; represented blank, across which were the word: "The Black Belt. Don't fro there." or . "me , Yellow, irever . country. Avoid it." And, as a matter of fact, the immi- rranta do teem to avoid : the South. Very few or teem. nod tnslr; way. nere And doubtless the reason is the ad vertisements that the Vvv stern rail roads have, scattered throughout all of that portion of Europe that is furnish ing the immigrants. If we are to ret immigrants we m ait correct the dem aging Impression oflhe South these Western roads have jcat-. tered abroad, we mast send maps to Europe stating just what sort of a country the South is, and what Its ad vantages, are for home-seekers... It seems to us that the railroads ought to take: the lead In this . work. ; It la true that they haTe no lands to sell, as' the roads of the West have, but they would be benefitted by having the lands con tiguous o their lines settled by thrifty people' - i "A little money judiciously spent In advertising In sections of Europe from which the kind of immigrants come that would be acceptable to the South would do an immense amount of good. As a matter" of fact, nowhere in Europe among the class that furnishes the im migrants, is there much known about the South.- It is time that something were bains' . dona .to make the South. known in. localities .from which immi." grants are desired; : " f In addition to telling -part of the story why European immigrants avoid the South this article contains some suggestions worthy of the con sideration of our Southern Legisla tures and of others who would en courage the flow of immigration this According to the New York 'erald there are now in - this coun try 2,188 theatres. New York leads with 230, Ohio comes next with 151 and Nevada brings up the rear with 4. North Carolina has 24. -There are alsq ndef jransipnetion in irWt ous cities other theatres that will cost in the aggregate 118,000,000, several of them in New-, York city ranging m cost from $750,000 to $2,000,000 each. " - : When Mr. Shanks, of Topeka, Kansas, aged 87 years, applied for a marriage license the Judge of the Probate court asked him "when he thought a man was too-old to mar ry." Mr. Shanks replied,, that he didn't know. If the Judge wanted to know that-he would have to ask some old folks. 1 : H winter left. "all 'v'Y ,- Rootbeery nuoH IDC n nntA.

Forr many years fakirs io -Eng land, Germany, and other countries have been systematically defraud ing confiding people in this country but of money by representing-4hat there are great estates over their awaiting heirs, large sums of money,, secuetimes many millions of dollars, held until the heirs establish their claims. New discoveries of this kind are constantly turning up and have become so common as to have almost ceased to; attract public at tention, but notwithstanding the frequent exposures of these frauds confiding ppople in this country are annually fleeced out of thousands of dollars by these sharpers. In view of the fact that this game has been played several times recent ly in this State, we publish the fol; lowing from the Philadelphia Press as a reminder to people receiving these seductive letters from foreign fortune finders, who call themselves attorneys, who are the only persons who ever get ahy money out of them. " i The oft-repeated .warnings of the United States Ambassador In London, the Consul General and others against schemes to recover enormous estates from the British Court of Chancery do not have much effect Every little while the bait is held out of some great estate awaiting distribution to American heirs and then the alleged heirs hold meetings, money is collect ed to pay erpeasw; a man is sant ov.r to England and no more heard b ut the matter for some year, when there is another call and another agent goes over under like circumstances! There was a meeting in this -city not longaco of the alleged heirs of the 1100,000.000 Wood estate, said to be 11 the British Court of Chancery. Taere is no snch estate in the Court of Chan cery, according to the Government of fleials. This matter was brongbt to public attention in this country in 1845, but it was allowed to drdp out of con sideration for many years and was then taken op again. About twelve years ago a man was sent to England to look np the estate, but be apparently never made any report Now a third man is to be sent over there on a similar er rand. There are numerous American lawyers in London. ,and if any such estate was in existence some one of them would bave taken up the matter lonz ago. But there is no $100,000. 000 estate in the Court of Chancery. It probably will not be long before several other estates of different names will be brought to public attention In order that the alleged heirs may con tribute the means to send the "dis coverers" on a trip to England to look up the alleged facts. It is aa old game and is pretty well worked out. There may be an occasional small estate from which something Is developed in this way, but even that is doubtful These enormous estates with unknown heirs, according . to those who bave looked into such matters in England, exist only in the imagination of claim agents or other such persons. Of course the sharpers over there will continue to discover . great estates and millions 'awaiting heirs while there are innocents enough to chip in and make that occupation a profitable one, and they will doubt less continue to find some of these, notwithstanding the numerous and repeated warnings.
