AllYIIUU AND SOUTHERN WAK
We did not think we Bhoald refer
to ilr. ArthurV letter of acceptance
again, but he tells suph a (whopper
we in a itt note the fact specially. This
excommunicated member of the great
New York Custom ' House brigade is
deeply exercised low down in his
pious Honl 'lest the "Rebels" when
they get in power in the Executive
Department as they are now in the
Legislative shall proceed to pay off
hundreds of millions of dollars of
what is falsely and misleadingly called
"Southern War. Claims." Now we
undertake to say that Mr. Arthur ex
pects no euoh thing. He is not a fool
if he ia a political fraud. He knows
that nearly every claim paid thus far
wan-by Republican votes' to men who
were in the service of the North or
in sympathy with the North through
out thewar. No true Southron has
net upAny such claims, and none has
been paid. So Arthur is merely talk-
ing like the demagogue he is when he
pretends to be apprehensive that the
Democrats will follow the Republican
example and pay off "war claims,"
not one penny of which ought over
to be recognized or liquidated.
Mr. Arthur we cannot call him
Uencral, as that title belongs only to
soldiers like Hancock and Garfield,
who won it- on "hard foughteu
battle-fields," and not to members of
Governor's staffs or officers "on the
peace ' establishment" Mr. Arthur
knows that the Democrats the
"Uebol Brigadiers," if you please, in
Congress, have set their laces like a
Unit agaiust all appropriations to pay
off these "Southern War Claims."
Ho knows that they will never agree
to do so, if, for no other reasons, be
cause they are unjust and unpopular.
Arthur knows that the leaders of
the Democrats are men of ability,
and some of them . arc men of pru
dence and sagacity. He knows,
therefore, that they would never en
gage in a business that would be de
structive of their influence; that
would shorten their tenure of office;
that would gratify their enemies and
aid greatly1 in restoring tbom to
power. So his fears ; would be
groundless if he really had any fears
about it. The Richmond Dispatch
tells Arthur that for three reasons tho
Democrats would never pay off the
war claims. First, they are uot
idiots; Becond, Hancock would be in
the way; third, it would bo impossi
ble as Hancock would veto it, and
the Democrats, lacking the two-thirds
majority, would be unable, if they
were so disposed, to pass it over
President Hancock's veto. It con
cludes that Arthur merely "told a
wilful falsehood." Very likely.
If necessary wo could prove from
statistics that the Democrats, so far
from favoring the war claims set up
by Southern people have fought
them Hteadfastly,iuvariably and con
sistently. Tho Southern leaders have
i
known from the beginning what sort
...of Southern people had set up these
claims for indemnity
nearly all, were poop
All, or very
e who were on
the side of the North, and against
their section, their j neighbors and
their tnends. We do not think
Arthur will bo able by his let
ter to revivify the old slander
ami falsehood against tho people of
the South and the Democratic leadera
generally, the people who read
know there is no foundation of truth
in the charge. Arthur was forced to
write something. Garfield had cov
ered the ground, and although Ar
VOL. XI.
thar slavishly copies his mode of
treatment and the things treated, he
must branch out on his own hook and
te consequently b
undered upon tho
falsehood I of the
old thread-bare
"Southern Rebel War Claims.?, His
"apprehension" has not even 'the
flavor of freshness,1 as his whole letter
is throughout lacking in - originality.
We think we4are now done .with Ar
thur' letter. ? Absalom':! Arisaloih !
thou art still dangling from that tree
where Hayes and Sherman-suspended
thee.
Let him hang.
TEE ni-.CDXSION AT WilSOH.
We have received an account of
the discussion at Wilson between
Gov. Jar vis and J udgo .Buxton, but
it is loo long for-our--ohamTi3. We
do not consider it necessary to pub-
'-r. . - 1
ng given the citiet points
made by eaoh. It is not intcrotting
to repeat, and our limited ' space is
neoded for other matter from day to
day that is current and sometimes im
portant. Our correspondent writes
that thero were twenty-five hundred
people present and that the triumph
of Gov. Jarvis was complete every
way. Tho discussion lasted for four
hours, Judge Buxton leading off in a
speech of au hour and a.half. Gov.
Jarvis replied in an hour and a half
effort, then came the rejoinder , and
surrejoiKdor. The Democratic can-
didate is represented as making a
strong, frcoful,
convincing speocb,
whilst Judge
Buxton was dull and
!!- - ; -
cold and uninteresting as he was in
Wilmington. Everything ! promises
well and the party lis united and de
termined. ! I
Some men's records will not bea
1 - -
looking into, Garfield's for instance.
But with Gen. Hancock the more you
inquire the more
record is so nob
you admire. His
e and pure that it
shines the brighter and fairer the
more you "turn On the light." His
letter to Sherman excitos the admi
ration of all, and j now we find that
his views are found to be consistent
throughout, in 1805 he held tho
same views as he did in 18G7-'78. In
1876 he held the very views, he ad
vances in 1880, and thero hha-rraony
in all. When in command of the
Maryland Department in 1865 his
views were precisely the views he
holds in 1880. In September of ISG5
he attended a grand reunion of the
Odd FellowH of the United Slates
held in Baltimore. He was ! present
by invitation and ho made a speech.
The Sun says he spoke of his- great
readiness "to see the sword:; turned
into the plowshare during our day
and generation." Here are some of
his noble, generous, manly words :
"For myself, 1 shall liaiMneday with
pleasure when in the Slate of Maryland
there will be no longer necessity for pro
vost muisbals to assist in the maintenance
of order and authority. Knowing that the
day will come, I shall endeavor so to pave
the way in my command iQ loosening the
reins of military authority and allowing the
civil authorities to exercise all power which
they are willing or competent to adminis
ter, a i that the transition from the laws of
war to those of peace shall be so gentle
that do shock . may be observed when our
functions are ended, and that the harshness
of military rule may be forgotten. Since
tho policy of the government is to trust to
the honor of the Southern people in the re
organization uf their ; government, rather
than to guard their actions by military rule
until a later day, it is i Ihu more necessary
that charity should reign in every heart,
and it affords me pleasuro to be here at this
feast to-night to assist in doing honor to an
order which has not forgotten that in war,
as in peace, there is fellowship in charity-"
I "j
At Wilson Judge Buxton is ro
p6rted in the Raleigh Observer as
saying: ' I ' J " - j . '
"I say to thu colored people of North
Carolina, if there is any oflica for them,
they ought to have their Just harc and an
interest in managing the asylums, &c."
Does the Judge believe this really?
Can it be that he is in "dead earnest!?"
Why are there hot offices and plenty
f 1 1
of them at that for "the colored peo
ple" who constitute three-fourths of
the Radical party? They number
eighty-five thousand voters in the
State. How many public offices do
they hold? Is there a negro on the
State ticket ? Not one. Why this ?
Are not these! offices I for them ! as
much as for their while allies? If
not, why ? As any
nated for Congress in
negro nonu
any District
where thoy constitute most of the
Radical party ? Not one. Why ?
Are not these offices for them as well
as for their white brethren of the
same kidney ? I If not, j why ? Judge
Buxton evidently thinks that "the .
just share" of office-holding is limited
to tho "insane asylums" and such
other i places, j The Judge's party
has used the negro for fifteen years
to pull tho chestnuts out of the, fire
for tho whitoB of the party to cat. It
is a nice arrangement.!!

AKES ARIES'S SONS ON XII K
. ! BRIBED.
The address of Oakes Ames's three
sons) is too long to be copied. There
is nothing absolutely . new iu their
statements as to the Credit Mobilier
scandal. Their attempt is to relieve
their dotd father of the odium resting
upon hum as a Congressional briber.
Of course they will fail fn this as tho
evidence is of a character to eljow
just .what Ames did and what he
acknowledges as doing. But the
sons throw some light on the conster
nation that prevailed among the
Congressmen who had been dealing
in the Credit Mobilier stocks, whether
in the way of an open purchase or an
equally rascall y "loan," which was a
mean subterfuge and dodge. The
excitement in this Congressional cir-
ale, of whioh Garfield the snivelling I
1 f. .. f . I
iij puuf ito was uuiui, was very gicau
There appears to have been a general
unloading. The sons say that "some
returned their stock and got back
their: money with interest; some de
clined it, and some afterwards denied
that they had ever agreed to take it."
We copy a part of their descrip
tion of what occurred when the ru
mors of rascality first filled the cor
ridors of the capitol I and a panic
ensued among the Garfield tribe.
Remember Garfield as you read what
DWUO wimj, uu iciuwuucr,
too, that they are all Radicals. They
8ay? i
-many memoers ieie Keenly the need 01
reform in the meiJiods of legislation, and
were nrenared to assume a censorioua atti
tude. About the same time orave official
scandals wore drvnlped in other nnnrterB
and more were suspected, i A popular cry
. .
was raised against 'Credit Mobilier frauds,'
and a reign of terror ensued. Congressmen
tcwse records were vulnerable were swift to at
red attention elsewhere. A politician, like a
woman, must be above suspicion. Ho
lives upon public opinion. No matter how

iui men prevaricated, boneBt men acted
like . convicted pickpockets, -while the
meanest men in Congress assumed airs of
Pharisaical superiority. '
Now this is mighty interesting
reading it strikes us. J It is graphi-
cally ; done withal. It was a lovely
sight doubtless to see the "Christian
big scare in
their big Bull Run flight;' The sons
say they became cowards and began people unite in demanding such legis
to lie about what they had done. It lation as will foster it, and not until
was evidently a nice time all around,
and Jimmey Garfield appears to have
been the most panic-stricken of ..all
and. to have eclipsed his associates in
the matter of "prevarication."

Criminal Court. .
It having been noised abroad yesterday
morning that the jury in the case of Stephen
Richardson had agreed upon a verdict, the
Court House soon became crowded with
spectators and listeners, eager to got a look
at toe prisoner and to hear the sentence of
the Court pronounced . The verdict of the
ury was that "The prisoner is guilty of the
felony and murder whereof he stands
charged." The passing of the" 'sentence
was delayed for some lime in order to af
ford ail tho attorneys interested in the case
an opportunity to be present and also time
or consultation, as requested. At' about
10.30 o'clock", His Honor, Judge Meares,
directed the prisoner to stand up, and then
proceeded to comment upon ihp awful
crime of which he had been convicted by
a jury of his countrymen, calling his atten
tion to the urgent necessity of speedily
making his preparations for the solemn
change which awaited him, and concluded
lathe following words: "It ia the judg
ment of the Court that you be remanded to
the County Jail from whence you came.
and there remain until Friday, the 3d day
of September, in the year of Our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty, and
that on that day, between the hours of 10
o'clock in the forenoon and 4 ocIock in
the afternoon, you shall be taken from
thence to the place of common execution
by the High Sheriff of the County or New
Hanover, and that you then and there be
hung by the neck until you are dead, and
may the Lord have mercy on your soul."
While sentence was being pronounced
the prisoner gazed calmly but intently at
His Honor, evincing jqo apparent feeling
until the last startling words were being
uttered, when a perceptible tremor shook
his frame. The evidence of emotion was
but temporary, however and the j prisoner
took his scat with as much apparent calm
ness and freedom from excitement as if he
had been listening to an ordinary homily
upon the moral depravity of the human
race.-
It was ordered by the Court i that the
County Commissioners furnish a! guard to
assist the jailor in the confinement of all
prisoners in tho County Jail of New Hano
ver County for" a period of one month, at
the cost of the county. .
Judgments were then pronounced in the
following cases :
State ts. Julia Miller, convicted of assault
and battery; sentenced to sixty days in the
House of Correction.
State vs. Brooks Lone, convicted of
larceny; sentenced to live years in the'State
Penitentiary.
A few motions fn reference to costs and
other; minor matters were disposed of and
the Court then adjourned for the term.
Deer in Pender county. ;
During the first week in August a few
inexperienced hunters, without losing much
time off the farm,' killed ten deer on the
Lillington Hall farm, once the! home of
Gen. Alex. Lillicgtou. The deer, we un
dcrstaod, were raised over in i. Carteret,
Onslow and Duplin counties. They come
over to Pender seeking pastures new and
fields green, and the people eat 'em. The
Holly Shelter Bay, in Pender j contains
about fifty thousand acres, affording ample
inducements to the deer creatures to take
refuge lh its Bbady nooks. The Only trou
ble the hunters have is in the fact that they
start too many.
A SwimmlDK Ox.
A colored man named Woodcock, who
has charge of a flat, reports that while
comiag down the river yesterday morning,
and when about two miles this side of
Mosby's Point, his attention was attracted
by a bellowing noise, and soon discovered
an ox swimming in the middle of the
stream. He knew the animal as soon bs he
saw him as one belonging to Captain Pad
dison, and he called him by name, when
the ox made for the flat, leaching which he
managed to got his head on the gangway.

could nlacc a rone around his horns. Tbe
animal then swam on behind the flat unti
it reached this city, a distance of twenty
eight miles; and there is no telling bow long
ho had been . swimming when Woodeock
took charge of him. He ia - supposed to

Knowing the entire absence of zeal
for the Credit Mobilier candidate and
the smiling Judge, the committee
secured the services of the negro
brass band of Statesville to draw the
crowd. It did draw the crowd, too.

his audience in the court house until
the band was sent for and given seats
up stairs. It was a Convention of
revenue officers and colored brethren
who filled the court house to hear the

jiress. It was a drowning mans
