Thu great, primal question with all of the. counties in which the negroes are nirong is County Government Th- Star has again and again pre-' Reiiti-d the importance of this subject to our people. In the lasttwoor thr . elections this discussion has bei it forced upon us, and in this cam paign we have several times consid ered it. We must once more call the' attention. of our readers to its impor taiMv. If the negro counties do not put forth their best efforts to save the Lc jrilaiure and the State from van dal handf, they will have no persons to Maine but themselves if they are again made to grind in the hard mills of Radicalism and taxes shall run up again from 25 cents on the $100, as it was in 1883, to 80 cents, or more than three times as much, as it was in 1809. There is no telling what the Radical would do if they were to liavei:ontrol again in North Carolina. The Democrats have so developed and improved the State that there is now, as the Northern bummer said of South Carolina, "a good deal of good stealing left." V: ; Thirn are many reasons why, the County Government system should be retained. We will confine our selves to two: . 1 J 1. It is an old and long tried sys- tenu : it was the system or our fj .... i- f atners For nearly 100. years it was used With excellent results. It was never disturbed until "Gen. ; Canby cam i! with his bayonets to baek up the ravening carpet-baggers .. and their corrupt, allien, the scallawagc. 2. It is a great economical system. It has hfeti the means of saving hun dreds f thousands of dollars to the - .c . ... - ... . honest andr industrious tax-payers. Before the Democrats secured a re- turn to the present system and had got rid. of the irritating, oppressive . Catihy-Ridical-bayonet system the robberies -and oppressions ; of the whites in thirty or forty counties were enormous. . - ; J", The following table shows - the value of property in certain counties in 1876, the year the Democrats beat the Radical, but before they had taken charge, and the year 1883, after they had had control for seven ydars: COUNTIES Anson Bertie.....:......

DEMOCRATIC DEFALCATION A ) , ' . . VINDICATION. ... Mr. Scarborough,! Superintendent of Public Instruction, has - written a letter to the Charlotte , Observer about the. defalcation of Col. Stephen D. Pool, the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction in 1874-'75. He says the amount was $2,800, and that all was paid to the Peabody Fund. Col. Pool paid 2,100 j and the members of the Peabody Board paid $700. Col. Pool is now an old man. He was loner an editor in our State. He is of a highly respectable family, in Pasquotank county. His father was a- man of influence and character. Col. Pool was an enthusiastic .Con federate . and served his - country faithfully. We believe that he has been misunderstood, . and, conse quently, misrepresented even by, his own Dartv. The time has come to do him justice. The writer of this was for fifteen months brought into roost intimate Communication with him. He sat at a desk in the Superintendent's Office whilst engaged in editing Our Hv ing and Our Dead and the North Carolina Educational Journal. : He bad constant conversations of a frank and free business character from day to day. . He became possessed in this way of all of CoL Pool's ; plans and hopes. : He discerned early that the Colonel was of a very sanguine tem- I perament and - that success bad I made , bim '. very, ; hopeful . and en- J thusiastic. He was to some extent a builder of air-castles, llis elec- I tion, after a canvass conducted i with zeat and ability on his part,' , to' 1 the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and. the great ? success J that attended tne nrst year or ms i magazine that was his chief thought, led him to form expectations that J 'were not realized. We know that I Our Living and Our Dead pros- J pered , greatly , the first . year. Col. J Pool would make trips of a week and bring back 60 subscribers averaging '10 a day, whioh was. equivalent ' to1 $30. ,'The subscription list- was run up far beyond any monthly publi-! tion ever attempted in North Caro lina.. The Colonel was in ecstacy.; He thought he had at last found the way to fortune. He dwelt day after day, in our, familiar talks, upon his bright and growing prospects. He . . ' i . - was somewnat successiui in ootain- ing advertising in one or two North- ern cities, . This fired., hun. He at once figured oat so many ; thousands from that source. He 'then .showed us on paper how many new subscri bers he would obtain in .the. second year, and then, saidhe, at the endof that year, there will be many thoua- ands-we believe $6,000 to his credit in the . bank, with - a . brighter and more successful start certain for the third year. r But unfortunately it did not "pan out", that way.,.;.

He was a Ruling Elder in the Pres byterian.

He had been led Co think that the fund would not be called for in many years to come, u rom time to time, as no. needed $5 or $10, he would draw'it out from the fund 'and place his due bill for the same in the package. One day, and quite" suddenly the money, was called for. : He looked into the package," added, up the. due bills and found they aggregated some $700 or $800. He went out and in a few moments sold enough property to fetch him the money needed.' If be bad not been a man of means he would have been a sufferer, , might have been sacrificed. And yet a more thoioughly honest man never lived or died in North Carolina. - ' A REITI ARK ABLE nODB OF PBB U" . . PAB ATION. . It' is interesting to know, the men- The writer had occasion to show the mode of preparation of : that rarely gifted pulpit orator, the late. Rev, Thomas G. Lowe, of Halifax. When he was preparing elaborately; for: a special occasion he thought out the entire sermon word for word, never writing: a line. He coma arterwaras reproduce it precisely as he bad con ceived thought and language. His highest .eloquence, . however, was when be was so charged with matter that be spoke under the heat of in epiration and relied entirely upon the occasion for language with which' to convey his beautiful and entrancing thoutrhts. We recur to this SDlendid example of North Carolina to Tepro- duce what the scholarly and eloquent jriXiipscomb has recently written of .a grandson pf North Carolina in the Kichmond Christian Advocate. He Bayg Bishop Pierce rarely,' if . ever, wrote his fiermons but "had aiiabit of what mav be called brain convooi sition, by virtue of which be was abieVto'cbnstruct paragraph by para graph, lay it away in f the, warder , of the mind,', and, reproducer it, word after word,1 with an exactness almosi perfect.''

Lowe 5, would forget his I sermons , after , a' few i5 weeks. He j needed something to hold his mental I efforts an idea catcher ' so to speak It seems from Dr. Lipscomb'sl ac count of the great' Bishop that he not only constructed sermons purely by a mental. process without: writing, but ,he could retain the brain work and call upon it long afterwards with a full assurance ; that the memory would be responsive to the demands, Truly a ery. wonderful gift;!,.:- Says 5 f 1 ' ' .. ........ r.. . t j rr j. oo no ininK wai xJisnop trierce was sense or tne pnrase. ,,ie tnougut out nis sermons- and Arranged them beforehand,' while trusting his imDulses to eive them the fullness of effective speech, j ; He was a stuaeut thinker oi extraordinary, power, but I believe he would have been greater if he had been more of atudent writer."

'-'''' He showed in an eloquent way the record the Democratic party had made for itself in its defence of naturalized citizens, and cited the case of Martin Kostza as a case in point. While under" Republican' rule and when Mr. ' Blaine 'was Secretary of State, an American citizen, Mr. McSweeney, was permitted to lie in jail and not a word was said in his behalf or a hand raised to help lauu was prociaiuiiaj; iu luuouer. tuuets 111a denunciation of the policy of . the govern- ment and of the outrage that' had been committed upon a naturalized American citizen. The Irish would not be led away by the blandishments of the Republican leader, but would stand 'by the party that secured them their , rights and protected them in the free exercise of their privileges. He spoke of the Star Route steal; the selling of post-traderships and of cadetships; the bribery of high 'officials;.'- the jobbery,' peculation . and hypocrisy that character ized the Republican administration, and of the great fraud of 1876, which, he said, was the climax of their pyramid of infamy. Wit ran through it all, and colored eve rything he did of said.' It' gave edge to his argument and piquancy to his state ments and railleries. .It prefaced and round' ed off some of the exquisite passages of his pathos. " He can ' condense an argumi into a single sentence, and can distil that sentence into a biting sarcasm. ' As a ppl; ished orator he has hardly an equal in this State." Clear,' strong, ready,' his language flows like a stream, unbroken except by -ripples of humor or bubbles of wit. He can say more brilliant things, more un common things, more things that cannot be said by any one else; and in all he is in teresting, enchaining attention, imparting instruction and .moulding conviction. He i Bpobe of his old State and the love he had for her, and his conception of what he de sired her to be; swelled his utterance and express joainJLijlrainfl of eloquence as he called'upon the true sons of : Carolina to maintain her prosperity, to advance her in terest and preserve Jier honor.
