Each day brings a new surprise in the way of opinion. The last is the Htaieutents of "a prominent Missis sippi politician" but just now arrived at iVashington. We would like it better if these "prominent" politicians would not epeak under cover but oiihiiI v sr that, t ho nnnntrv c.r.iild know who are the oracles and how much importance is to be attached to their utterances. . Some papers, for politi cal effect, have a way of manufactu ring opinions as well as sensations in their offices. It is well known that much of the materiaworked up in the outrage mill is made on the spot. But to the statements of this "prom inent Mississippi politician." What h as he to tell ? lie claims to have been in sev eral Southern States latterly and to 1h acquainted with public sentiment, lie ays a considerable change has taken place since the October elec- . ' XI .. .. . . U T . .. in Mississippi and other Southern Slates as greatly disappointed at the result in California and Ohio, and de clares that there is great dissatisfac tion, and that a vast disintegration is threatened in case New York goes Republican. All this sounds very iniinh na if thw "nrnminenl IVfiaain. sippi politician" is a Stalwart or Re publican, and we have but little doubt of it. We do not attach much im portance to what he says, but copy the following that our readers may see what sort of matter is taken to Washington to be worked up for free distribution abroad. We quote from a Washington special: "He says that there has already been a good deal said abuut the probabilities of a division of parlies in the South, but tbe co- lipninn nf Hnminnnt nrcroni'7ot irn Koo heretofore been able to resist all efforts to I compel it to yield. He now predicts that in view of the Dresunt and nrnsnprtivp no- I litical 8'uu!itioD, and in the event of tbe nomination of Tilden, who is distasteful to the Southern neODle. an indenenrip.nt move ment is inevitable and an independent electoral uckci wui oe. pui into me neia 1 with every prospect of carrying MississiDni. Alabama, Louisiana add North and South Carolina for any conservative Republican candidate. He claims that such a couree is tne oniy saivaiion ior tne ooum. j No doubt there are plans afoot to split the Democratic party in the South. Money will be freely used to that en.l. But the whole movement is of Itf.dical origin. The scheme ai concocted in Washington, and wc:eks ago the Stab gave some of the particulars of the plan. It is the old gme of divide and conquer. But if the Southern Democrats are thus forewarned, surely they will be fore armed. , We see in a Southern exchange that there is a very bitter feeling between t he opposing political parties in Mis hHHippi. Not only are the Indepen dents pushing the canvass in Yazoo county, and putting colored men on their tickets in some places, but in Adams county the Democrats and Hi publicans have united in a com promise ticket, and the Natchez pa pers are supporting the coalition. TARIFF HKFOH.TI. It is generally understood among Democratic members of Congress that a grand tariff reform is to take place when the next session opens. The world is growing wiser in somo things. It is simply a huge mon- strosity in trade that a vast country should be oppressed with a high pro- tective tariff merely to benefit a small section of country or of the people. A free trade policy is demanded alike by the necessities of the people at large as well as by an j mers m that jjonaty. If such farm enlightened public Bentimeut. There I ing could be found in the Cotton VOL. XI. was never a greater political heresy than the idea of ja high protective tariff. The Democrats are resolved upon a change. The moneyed inter ests of New York are more concerned in free trade than are possibly the Southern people. 1 Judge Kelly, of; Philadelphia, the great pig iron man, sounded an alarm in a recent speeuhj lie told his hear ers that the Democrats would take active-measures to; alter the tariff as soon as Congress assembles. In con firmation of this the Washington Star makes a similar assertion It j says the entire party in! Congress will sup port a free trade movement with the exception of a few members from Western Republic of th8 Greenbac cans and a majority of the Greenbackers will sustain many changes that may be proposed. The fight is upon a tariff for revenue only. It is almost certain that very material improvements will be made in the present tariff if the' Democrats should be unable to carry out all of. their sweeping plans of reform, i It is very certain, we (take it, that a ma jority of the American people are not in favor of a tariff that taxes : the whole people that! a few capitalists shall alone be benefited. Tbe people, therefore, will approve of any changes ,n tne present tanff.that will modify Or leiQOVe tniS evili A POETS' OPINION. The Charlotte Observer reports Mr. Paul U. Hayne, the Southern poet, as cherishing a delightful recol lection of Mr. Longfellow, and as having a very good opinion jbf Chris tian Reid, our North Carolina story writer. He referred to Longfellow "as a man of exceedingly unpreten tious manners and simple habits, 'more like the type of the old South ern gentleman,' said he, 'than any one I met at the North. He has none- of that unapproachableness which some literary men affect the habit of drawing a circle around themselves and forbiddiug any one to enter if.' " 1 j . . ; . ' Of Christian Ileid, as our North Carolina novelist prefers to be called, as we have been told, he spoke ad miringly, and thought "that she had done for Western , North Carolina almost what Sir I Walter Scott had accomplishedfor Scotland." Whilst we admire some of - her stories and appreciate her uncommon services in popularizing Western North Caro lina in her "Summer Idyl"; and "The Land of the Sky," we do not think the criticism of Mr. iiayne teiicitous. . wnen she ere ates characters of a purely North Carolina type like Scott has done for his country there will be more pro priety in the comparison. Her char acters have not the individuality that distinguishes Scott's wonderful crea tions. ; His scores of Scotch creations We - suppose, however, that Mr. tT., f l . - . Hayue referred more particularly to Miss Reid's fine descriptions of North r v w t. 1 a Carolina scenery We honor and admire her for her gifts, and feel a due share of gratitude that she has noil A an mnth f n malm nna nf t na moat beautiful and picturesque por tinns of our .ni;nr m ,;ioi w- w. wuvcuvfUh' ujvav vy tuvij and better knowu. We trust she may find it in consonance with her plans to return again and again to those regions so well knowu to her and which she is so skilful in describ ing. GOOD FABiTlINU. There is no better farming country, in the world than iu some sections of North Carolina, examples before, We and have given could I give many more. ' We find the following in the last Durham Recorder about a Granville farmer. The editor of that paper was recently at Oxford. He writes: ' j - "We met one farmer, Mr. Fielding Knott, who, ten years ago, bought the farm upon which he now lives, and began work almost at the bottom of ' the financial lad der. This year he-has cured ninety nine harna r f tnhoAAA & 11 a11stkp ; amtva. gating about fifty .thousand pounds from wbicb he is sure to realize handsomely" There is probably a typographical error in the ninety nine barns. Some few months ago Mr. Knott sold a loose load of tobacco for nearly or quite $1,000. His crop on hand will probably turn him out from $10,000 to $15,000. We have ho doubt he averages to .the hadhidre than $1,200. Wft have known: tnt aver- age, or great,' .t fce'niade by f ar- WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 1879.

WHOOP VERSUS A SONG Off PEACE.' Some men are so constituted that I it is a constant puzzle to know why they were born to what end. When Grant sent one Edwards Pierrepont Af NTpw Vnrt a Ministpr to "Kntrland 0t JNew lork, as minister to Jingiana, men wondered and said, can such things be ? He had a very inglorious time of it, and succeeded in making himself the greatest of American flunkies. Men concluded that Pierre- pont was born a flunkey and would die a flunkey, and men were right. He is now resident in New York "at home again" and is the same in veterate toady and tuft-hunter. He recently made a Stalwart harangue! and in it ho blew a loud and resonant blast from his little tin-horn for "the man ou horseback." JUethougbt Grant the man " for the South. No such Bo.abastes Furioso has spouted aunng tne late campaign as mis doughty knight who, in his lavender- kids, represents tbe migbty society . of New York codfishdom. Ho is ab- solutely furious, and when the wick- ed and rebellious CSOUtn tbat Will not bow down and worship the Radical idol set up in the Radical temple learns of what the mighty Pierre pont, with his historical illustrations, has to say about it, then we expect a great silence to pervade the whole Southland, and a great consternation to seize upon the Southern heart. We find in the Baltimore Gazette the subjoined paragraph from his war-whoop. Read and tremble: "When William, the Great Conqueror, the bastard son of tke Duke of Normandy,' by Arietta, the handsome daughter of a tanner (whom from a window of bis castle JSflS wSdffl g fJTJSSlriSim'tita toe HmtoJ ttiiiiwaiiwuat hides alone the walls of the town, with the jeering cry, 'Work for tne Tanner.'

But if be i3 called be will do it thoroughly. The Gazette adds this little bit of biography that will constitute a fit appendage to the immense' threat of the heroic "Snob of Fifth Avenoodle- dom," as our Baltimore contemporary describes him: "The eloquent Mr. Pier reponr, it sboald tk hnrna in minH wail nnnM Timminv politician in New York city.

On the other hand, tbe Democrats are timid, cowardly, dividing into feuds and factions, coquetting with every crazyism, abandon ing their most distinct and time-honored principles, and seeking by every device to avoid the only issue which is now . worth a statesman's thought or a patriot's care the Republican conspiracy to sectionalize tbe country and substitute absolute government for constitutional government 1 trust tbe defeats of this year will bring the Democrats to their senses, concentrate their energies. and inspire them with courage to meet the Republicans on their own chosen ground 0f sectionalism to accomplish empire. If so, our institutions will be saved; otherwise they will be lost." There is not tbe slightest doubt of The Norther le if they ever nnaerstooa tne genius oi our government, have forgotten it; if they ever had any attachment to a republican government of law they have lost it. The South, through Jef ferson, Washington, Madison and others, originated and . set up the 6eneral Government, with its three i,ranctj3g jhe Executive, the Legisla . , h jQjioiai and it has thU8 - nrftHfirvfi1 Mr. Hill savs he is fuU BatiBfied that the game of the Rflnnhlinana is to make the South Ud ( the Democracthat they desire this a8 a me&na for makiDg the North solid for lhe Republicans."

They I seek to bund the masses of the Northern people to this obiect by exaggeraung every crime lhat OCCQra at the Soulflt and by j manufacturing hundreds that do not occur; by shot-cun lies and bugaboos of South em denunciation, and by confounding State rights with secession. If tbey are not mat faarloaolir nn thio rWrc-fi nnfctirn nf their conspiracy to destroy the constuu- tional system, and their lying exposed to the people, the Kepuoucans will succeea. The courageous mendacity of the Republi cans, and the cowardly divisions of the Democrats, are tbe two great dangers that now threaten to engulph the republic, , tent misrepresentation and slander of the South. They know the power ; of iteration. It is the long-continued off-repeated dropping of water that wears away the stone. By repetition I of a lie even good men will be in- duced to believe it.

Tbe New Postal Card. The postal card agent has received forty steel plates engraved with the design for tbe proposed two cent international card adopt ed by the postal union. It can be sent to all countries represented in the union, in cluding about all of Europe, China, Japn, Brazil, etc. The. design necessarily con tains more printing than the present card and has a border something like the old One. At tbe top are the words: "Universal 'odtal Union," a little curved, and repeated in French in smaller type beneath. Then come the words in bold type: "United States of America," also repealed in French and then the line, in English only: "Write only the address on this side." The stamp s a well designed head of Liberty, sur rounded by an elliptical border, with a figure "2" on each side and the words: "U. S. Postal Card"-around it.

In alluding a few days since to the pro posed re-union of Lane's Brigade, the Stab suggested Wilmington &s a proper place for the meeting.

The corres pondent then adds: "That the place may be agreed upon speedily, Mai. J. McLeod Turner and Private Sam. A. Ashe, of Ra- eigh; Lafayette Alexander and Miles Pe- gram, of Charlotte, and David R. Murchi- son and O. A.
