We propose to avail ourselves of
some instructive figures in a striking

Our 'Population,,"in the Century for
Stilfinber. Nevada has the greatest
proportion of foreign born citizens.
Tln-y nearly equal in numbers the na

The Irish population is 499,445 in that
State. This gives over 100,000 voters

THB LOOSING OF THE SILVER
CORD, i ! .-
- The eloquent Bishop Pierce, of
Georgia, is dead. A great man has
fallen in Israel. .Physically,- mental
ly and morally he was indeed one of
the most striking figures in America
when in his prime. Of splendid phy
sique, of great manly ' beauty, of
high intellect well cultivated and
trained,' -of an eloquence that was
rarely, equalled, of a piety that was
simple, childlike, profound, all-pern
vading, our eyes never looked upon
a more engaging personage. ; Said a
gifted minister to the writer more
than twenty-five "years ago:; lJr this
world were to be destroyed by some,
omnific act, and but one man of all
its inhabitants was to be pre
served, and he was to be of the high
est type to show" to other worlds
what manner of men peopled the
stricken sphere, and it was left to me
to . make the selection, I should
choose George F. Pierce." And this
would have been admirable judg
ment.: There has very rarely been
united in one. man so much of Chris
tian grace and humility ; "so much of
physical perfection; so much of prac
tical talent- and sound judgment
and ' discretion ; blended with i a
power of "' speech : : that , made
him- every .where : he : went a
power in the Church." Wherever,
he preached,' whether in the North
or in the South, he made a great im
pression. He sometimes preached in
a Biinple, plain, smooth, way check
ing his intellectual- coursers and re
fusing to indulge his mind in those
grand flights of oratory" that were so
easy and so natural to him, and then
he disappointed. - But when he wais
at his best he was an orator to be
matched with the best "Of the world.
We asked that wondrous master of
the beautiful and the entrancing, the
late Thomas G. Lowe,
who was
the
greatest orator he had heard. . HiB
answer was prompt, "Bishop Pierce."
North Carolina is interested in the
death of such a man.: Aside from
the fact that he visited this State
many times and ,bas often - preached
within its borders, he.i had excellent
North 5 Carolina blood in his veins.
His father, a great man before him
and a great preacher, -Rev. Dr.
Lovick Pierce, was born in Halifax
. , . ,, . .. . i . - ' - -
county. In his giftedson were repro?
dnced many of "those sterling and ad-i
mirable traits that give stamina and
nobility to the besti representatives
of our people. .'. Bishop- Pieroe was;
ytre think,' in : bis 74tbj , year, : but of
that we are not certaim He died

ing it may be is the Senator .of the

to give instruction ii political econ

listened and believed. It was jSo.-,
for Hoar who M'as. talking. -He is1 a
statesman and has. long been in ipb

Such is man's credulity," j And yet rt

partisan or sectional twaddle, jost as
Blaine and Logan spun out their ab
surdities in their-letters, but showing
at every step incompetency, igno

- But Hoar did not understand the
subject ' he handled, and Mi. Wells
shows it. , . We cannot reproduce the
reply for want of space.'' The point'
taken in hand specially by Mr. Wells
is "the ability of American manufac
rera to find a market ..for . their pr6r
ducts." Senator Hoar bad taken this
for his text, together with- President
Eliot, of Harvard ' Tjnirersity,-whp
had been, rash ' enough to. say that
Australia had been lost to American
manufacturers by . the i. high i Tariff

was very , rough, on the President of

that bis. statements were riot trui.
It is on this point that he is met by
Mr. Wells, and the. exposure Ts most
complete. We mast make room for
one extract, if no more,: as' it contains
troth that may illuminate other arti
cles taxed than carria era materials.

We' must, write one more paftt
.graph or so concerning Marshal Ney.
A correspondent of v thej London
UTimes i'ia very ; interesting com-
manicatioh concerning' the' late Duke
l;u WLiLSAZl&l' 1 ZJ.'c
fvanaMlltr tnAmn. j emivdll Am 'OA.
ponnt'.of the' reported execution: of
Napoleon's celebrated Marshal." he
writer 'say's that' the 'late" Duke told
htm that his father made a strong'ef
.fprt to save the Marshal. The Dtjke
said ihe Marshal brought destruction
upon himself by "'repudiating" a mil
itary court composed of "four of his
brother Marshals" put of seypn and
''preferring the irresponsible Cham
ber of Peers swayed by violent po
litical passion.' The correspondent
says thatQtjentlTickn member of
Jthe Irish, Parliament, saw the shoot
ing of the Marshal and related the
facts to the late Duke. ; ' if
' But was the brilliant and skilful
Marshal realjy , shot Could not his
life, - haye been . spared by , agree
ment? .. . Colonel Iamanouski did : not
believe he thad been -shot.' Peter
Stuart Ney did riot believe it. And
so have many s others in, Europe
doubted. The. account furnished the
Times at least giyes an opportunity
for doubt. We can . see .how with
such a scene as is described there
could hav been an ' understanding
that would have saved the Marshal.
Read it, and we think those who be
lieve , in. the . identity of Peter Ney
and the : Marshal may still hold to
that' belief." The account' in the
21ms'says:
!' "The Marshal was brought from the
Luxembourg Palace in a fiacre, accom
panied by v a commissary and two sub
offlcers of police.. J, He wore a dark-colored
surtout, dark pantaloons, white neckcloth,
and round hat with crapehe, was in
mourning for his father-in law. On his
leaving the coach the picket at the gate of
the Luxembourg Gardens, close by, were
beckoned to the spot; the men loaded and
fired, the Marshal fell on 'his face, and his
body was replaced in the coach vsiUan Vine
minute of hi quitting it almost before the
nurse and children, the only spectators, could
assemble. The official account differs in
some respects. The statement that the
corpse remained for a quarter of an hour in
a public highway bears its own contradic
tion. ...iS unreal does the history seem thai
one cannot be surprised at the belief held
by some that the man who bore a name
very like Ney's who lived and died ob
scurely in North America; having exclaim
ed on the death of the Duke of Iteichstadt,
'then mv last hone is cone.' was the Prince
xt the Moekowa, spared secretly at the in
tercession ot me puke ot Wellington '
i'.-. The above was prepared on Wed
nesdays? left oyer for Sunday. We
do not1' believe that the late Duke's
account is correct, either as to Ney's
choice' of tribunals or Wellington's
intercession. .. , i,
(T Judge Cbarles J. Folger was a na
tive of Massachusetts ..and vas in his
sixty-sixth yelirrixspecial f rpm New

of a broken ' heart. The dispatch
says: ;'- ;-' ' '-: ' !: 'y : ''
"He was a person of .great political am
bition and he regarded (he Governorship of
New York as a. stepping stone to the Presi

his Joy knew no bounds. The State had
been giving a Republican majority and he
thought surely that be would be elected.
He never eot that notion out of his head
either and was astonished when fiist his
own town and then the State gave such
oerwhehniBg majorities against him. He
almost went insane at the time. His friends
here say that, like Horace Greeley, he died
of a disordered mind and that his death is
little short ofS "PolTtTcal tragedy. , As a
