It is phe easiest thing in the world for a demagogue to play off upon the credulity and easy simplicity of the unreflecting or forgetful, rsut memory is a good dangerous thing and records are witnesses for political blowers and time-serving schemers. j Sherman's campaign spe eches ought not to hoodwink any one. If Southern flies can be caught with his sort of ma ple syrup and sorghum molasses then he may have all he can gather in. His conciliatory palaver aimed at Confed erates will not make any impression on them other than to repel. His studied misrepresentation and per version of the reconstruction days and the infamous repressive measures of the Republican Congress aimed at the prostrate, stripped, struggling South will pass for what it is .worth. Our people are not to be deceived at this point, for they lived through it. Hear this artful electioneerer as he thus talks to Southern men: "Think not that I come here to reproach any man for the part he took in that fight, or to revive in the heart of any one the tri umph of-victory and the pangs of defeat. I do not come to make apologies, nor do I ask any of you. The war was, perhaps, una voidable; bound to come some time, and the sooner ended the .better. All that I claim is that the Republican party was ac tuated, not by a spirit of conquest or re venge, but only by a fervent love of the Union and a determined purpose to main tain the Constitution as they understood it. No man in the North questions the honesty of purpose or the heroism with which the Confederates maintained their cause, and you will give credit for like courage and honorable motives to Union soldiers, North and South. , "When the war was over the people of the North particularly approved the gener ous terms' granted by Gen. Grant to Gen. Lee and the Confederate troops, and wished that tbe people of the South should be re stored to all. their rights and privileges, subiect only to such conditions as honor and good faith seemed to demand." We may refresh the memories of our readers at this point some day. A mere reciting of the acts of coer cion and oppression of the Republi can Congress and U. S. Grant will show what sort of sympathy and ap preciation of the Sonth'a fight and de feat and humiliation were felt by the Northern people. May! God deliver the South from such manifestations of sympathy and mercy Mr. Sherman is an ab e man, as we have said. He is now; a strong ad- vocate of a High Tariff the ' War Tariff and that, too, twenty-two years after the war is over. Th War Tariff was" adopted" for a aneni- fled, urgent cause. Thej two sections were at war and the li orth resorted to the great, awful Tar ffjas a temp orary expedient, j And yet ShermaB favors it now. He thii iks Tennessee' a good field for J Protection views, and so he preaches themJ He says: ! I j ) - J ' "There is no reason why you should not convert your cotton Into thread and cloths, and Utilize vnnr nnv vaatAl aornn. and your fields of coal I and mountains of iron, in tbe manufacture of goods pottery, glass, iron and steel in every form and open up your quarries of marble for the markets of the world., I 1 ' "All that is needed to pake your State rich and prosperous; beyond all former ex perience, is to accept tbe Republican poli cy 9 protection. Indeed, all that is need ed in Tennessee is that it ihould become a Republican State." ! "j' j How cunning! He appeals to their cupidity as a reason for changing principle. This is wdrthy of John Sherman.'" But this very man has spoken again and again in the Senate for a strong reductionjof the present burdensome and wicked tariff. Twenty years ago 1867 he favor- i arm oecause of a depreciated currency. But then is no reason now for such an argui nent. Our ad vice is, watch John Sherman. A CONTENTION OF FARRIERS PRO . POSED. J An inter state convention is talked of in Georgia. The States to be in vited are North Carolina, South Car olina, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, of course Georgia be ing also included as it will do the in" viting. The object is to discuss tbe agricultural interests of these States and to try to arrive at some plan by which agriculture niay be improved and made more profitable and certain in its results. The movement origi nates with tbe Commissioner of Agri culture of Georgia, The place thought of as Atlanta and the time the com ing summer. Such a meeting is ne- cessary and might be made a means discreetest, most of great benefit : If the wisest, progressive farmera -could meet in convention and; for days carefully disouss the Bituatior .we cannot see why excellent results may not fol- low. Surely there are many " ques- tionB that it. is necessary and proper that the farmers should agree upon in which their interests are so much involved. T.he question of raising too much cotton is one that needs to be considered.' The question of rais ing more cotton to the acre is another question. Then the cotton seed oil mills, more banking facilities, a low er Tate qf interest and other questions could erjgage ' their attention. If so minded they might loot into . 'the question of State railroad, Commis sions, low railroad tariffs, lower tax nnder tbe U. a, currency, &o. " Tariff, a metallic The Savannah . News favors! the proposed convention and says: "When tbe farmers begin to think ear nestly, and with a sincere desire to benefit their condition, they will be on the right way to the solution of the problem or their troubles. 1 i ' - - j . , - i "There is a future for the farmer in tbe South, and a very bright one. fie has not vet found out how to make his land do what it is capable of doing. He is yet too closely wedded to methods of tbe past, He is picking up ideas all the time, however, and a craduaHv turning then! to account. Tne time will come when he will produce his own food stuffs for man and. beast, and will at the same time cultivate cotton bis money crop to better advantage i than now. He will own cattle, which will be profitable, and they will furnish .the means for increasing the productiveness of his farm. He will abandon siotnrui and waste ful . practices and adopt those which are Dised on economy and thrift,? and which mast precede prosperity in every agricul tural country. Yes, let us nave tue con vention." '--- , j . i'j . If the Convention is called we hope it will not be a small body; Let each State be asked to send at least a dele gate for every -i 25,000 popula tion. This would give North Caro lina sixty-two delegates. Seven States are to be invited and the Con vention would be composed of Borne four or five hundred delegates I pro vided all should attend. Tbe Gov ernors should have the appointing., A JCOiriOUS TIGW. in the last Richmond Christian Advocate ir a communication j by Rev. Dr. A. W. Mangum, a distin guished No rth Carolina Methodist and a member of j tbe N. C. J Con ference. In it he writes as follows resi- dent for Tri lity College: ! "ine trustees nave not yet secured a President for Trinitv. It is hoped that it will be long before they choose a man for the place, if they cannot be suited, in the Southern Methodist Church. The head of our CoDfetccce College ought to be at least a Southern man. ' There are abundant good reasons for this, i entirely apart from any unwarran able sectional prejudice on our part. ; That struck us as sensible and wise. A Southern Methodist for a Southern Methodist College. The history of the t wo great branches of the large Methodist family shows that there is a tremendous differ ence in the two bodies altbousrh bearing a common name. The North ern Methodist preachers drove the entering wedge that came very near dividing the Unton,when they began their persecutions of Bishop Andrew and brought in new and unscriptural tests of ministerial qualifications, &c. Daring the war .the American flag was converted into' a symbol of Christianity and was' used as a cov ering of the sacramental table in the Northern Methodist Church. Since the war, even until now, the most bitter, vindictive, dangerous enemies of tbe Southern people have been found to be Northern Methodist preachers. The truth seems to be,judg ing from the past and the utterances of Northern Methodist' papers .from time to lime, that tbe ideas, motives and principles of the Northern Metho dist preachers are utterly antagonist ic to those; prevailing in the South. Their "notions" as well as their con victions differ in nearly everything, especially I in religious: duty,-educa- tional ideas, and political sentiments, froaj those animating and controlling Southern Methodists, whether preach ers or laymen. I S it seems : to us! that our old friend Dr. Mangura takes the right view when he says that, "the head of our Conference College (meaning Trinity) fought to be at least a South ern mac; He should be a genuine Southed man. That means a South ern man with Southern ideas, princi ples, associations, experiences, con victions,) purposes and; traditions. It means a Southern man who thorough ly understands Southern character and sjmpathises fully with his fel lows in their great trials and strug gles under peculiar f environments. With such a man, if properly endow ed and equipped otherwise, ' Trinity college ought to prosper. ... BEN FRANKLIN'S ASSISTANT.: In reading the first nart nf th ra . ' aaav of Bishop White in the Church Re view we find an interesting paragraph that bears upon one of the greatest of Americans. It appears that ahont 1754, or a little later,5 Ebenezer Kin- nersley, M. A., called by Dr. Stille, "a man of remarkable attainments," was an assistant of Dr. Benjamin Franklin in his experiments in electri city. He was "supposed by many to have been entitled to a higher credit for the "discoveries than" Dr. Franklin himself. At page 308 of the Church Review for March we find this statement: ; -i In a DrOSOeCtUS Of thn lneop, nnklihl by Dr. ( William) 8mith in 1758. Kmnereley is thus spoken of: 'He is well qualified for his profession, and has. moreover, great merit with the learned world iu being the ehitf inventor of electrical avvaratut as wen as author of a considerable vart of those dm. eocenes in electricity, ( published by Mr. franklin, to whom he communicated them." -' i .. i . i ' . - Now this is decidedly interesting. Dr. Stille, Dr. Smith, President of the College, Mr. Kinnerly, and Dr. Franklin all lived in Philadelphia, bueu a comnarativAiv amaii nia. & J flWQ probably not larger than Wilming ton.- We suppose there is no doubt that Dr. Franklin has received credit for much that belongs to, his gifted land scientific associate. It has many limes occurred in this world that the real inventors have not received re cognition or full credit. The North Carolirifao who invented the revolv ing pistolia unknown, but Colt, who did not invent it, lives.-' Morse, the telegraphic discoverer, is famouR, and although he merits due. recognition for much that he did, he was very greatly indebted to Prof. Henry and others .,' for ' what he f accomplished Franklin is one of the1 - world's most famous men while we. learn . for the first time of his ingenious associate, Mr. Kiunersley, from tbe Review before us. x f- WILniNGTON IN A. D. 1740 AND AFTER. . We have before us a venerable-and moth ' eateu volume -The Laws of North Carolina 1722 land after. We find several things' to interest . ns. But we can only note a few. : On page 52, for the year 1739, we fin'd how New Bern : was spelled at that time. It was Hewbern. The fault lay in not ! putting the b a capital B, as in New York. It was New Bern that was ment, Bern being the true spelling of tas Swiss city. We find an act "for ereeling the village call ed Newton, in New Hanover county into a Town and Township, bv the name of Wilmington." ; 0a page 34 A. D. 1730 -is ao Act "for the further and betjter Regulation of the Town called ' Wilmington, in New Hanover County, and to establish the Church of the Parish of St James, to be built in said Town.". In the same year an Act was passed "to enaoie tne Uommiseionors neremaf ter named to build a Bridffe over Levingston's Creek, between New Hanover and Bladen Counties." On page 141 A. D. 175:7-18 "An Act for building a Church in Wil mtngton, in St. James's Parish, in New Hanover County." A tax was aid upon every one to build tbe Church who owned property. Sub scribers were to have pews in the Church. The Court House was to be the place of worship until the oauaija? was tmi&bed. On nairpp 188-192 -A. D. l756o-is found "An Act for the Regulation of the Town of ; Wilmington." It sets forth the bounds, bow the public business is to be copducted, where the public offices are to ba kept, and a great many particulars concerning the gov ernment of the town. Even as early as 1756, a fire engine was to be pur chaed. ' On page 204 -A. D. 1757 - is an Act "for finishinsr the Chnreh in Wilmington." On page 258 A. D. 1760 is "An Act for raising Money by a Lottery, towards finishing the Churches at Wilmington and Bruns wick; and for applying the Produce of the Slaves and other Effects taken from the Spaniards at Cape Fear iu the year of our Lord ouo thousand seven hundred and forty -eight, to the same purposes." Here is the "Form of the ticket": Cape Feaii Lottbbt. Tbia Ticket intiilea thn Ttoat-or r ever Priz ; may be drawn against this Num ber, deducting Fifteen per cent., as by Act of Assembly passed in December, 1760. The largest prize was $2,000 or 400. One thousand tickets were to be sold at 3 each. The full Dar- j. ticulars are given regulating the drawing,1 &c. It seems from an Act passed in 1770 (page 466) that the "Church ! in Wilmington" was not complete. In that year Commission- ers were appointed to finish it. The good people in Wilmington in the last century would have brought up on thtm the censure of the North Carolina Legislature in ' 1887, if it had been possible. f The right tooubH lish is now so much interfered with that it is even unlawful to nrint for ' . !' - . i r pay an advertisement of a lottery; In 1757 one liiinlroil ami ti.i.in i 7 ...jr years ago-tbe General Assembly thought it not improper or unwise or unchristian to pass an act for the pur pose of raising j money to erect a cburcb.

In answer to questions propounded j by Deputy Register Sampson, the man stated that his name was Ulysses Grant Ely, of Baltimore, Md., that his age was 27. and that tbe young lady he proposed to marry was Miss Missouri J. Hudgins, aged 24, of Norfolk, Va. At this point the Deputy Register politely informed the applicant that he must produce evidence to show that tbe lady was of the legal age or that her parents gave their consent to the marriage, before he could venture to issue the license. The two hundred dollars' worth of experience that the Register had recently: acquired in the case of an eloping couple from Warsaw, wi too fresh in his mind to permit of his pusuing any other course, anxious as ho was to gratify the wishes of the parties Tbe most satisfactory guarantee must be furnished, so that there would be no pos sible danger of an after-clap in the shape of a suit by an irate parent or guardian, seek ing damages from the Register for not auk ing the "proper inquiry" as to the age of the parties detsi mined upon committing matrimony i The young man seemed somewhat disap pointed at this, but went off, and shortly afterwards returned with a handsome young lady.' whom he introduced to the Register as Miss Hudgins the would be bride, and as the appearance of the couple fully bore out their assertions as to age. tbe Register readily issued the license, and they departed in search of a minister to solem nize tbe ceremony.

The trial of H. P.

The only wit ness;for the State on this point, O'Sullivan, testified that the woodwork was scorched, but could not say that it was ever aflame.

Bain, the petitioner in this case, was cashier or the Exchange National Bank - of Norfolk, and was in dicted under 8ection 5209, R. 8., for ma- ktne fal report or statement as to tbe con dition of that bank, He was tried, found guilty and sentenced to sve years imprison ment in the Albany penitentiary. : He made application to this Court for a writ of habeas corpus and discharge from the cus tody of the U.8 Marshal, on the ground- first, that the indictment on .which he was tried was not found by a legal or valid grand jury; and second,: that the indict ment itself was unconstitutional and void; because after it came from the grand jury ine uoun anowea it to oe altered and amended.- Without considering the ques- uon as to tne vaiiuuy oi me grand Jury, tuis (jourt. in a careiui ana learned opinion by Justice Miller, holds: First. That an Jndictment found by a grand Jury was in aispensanie to ine power or the Court to try tbe petitioner for the - crime; with which he was charged. Second. ' That tbe indictment on , which he was tried after it had been : "chanced and amended by ; order or permission of the Court, was no longer an indictment of the grand jury that presented j; it. Any-other aonirme wouia piace ine rignts oi a citizen wnicb were intended to be protected by con stitutional provision at the mercy . of the court or - prosecuting attorney; or, if it be once held that changes can be made bv consent or order of court in the body of an indictment as presented by the grand jury, and the prisoner can ba ! called . upon to answer to me incicimeni as thus changed. the restriction which the ; Constitution places upon tbe power of the Court in re gard to tbe prerequisite of : an - indictment; in reality no longer exists It ia of no avail under such circumstances to say that me uouri mm nas jurisdiction of the per son and of the crime; for though it has possession of the person and would have jurisdiction of the crime if it were properly prescnieo oy ine indictment, jurisdiction of the offence is gone, and tbe Court has no right to proceed any further in tne case, for want of ! an indictment. if there is nothing before the Court for which tbe prisoner in the language of the Constitution, can be "held to answer" he is entitled to be discharged. So far as the of fence originally presented to the Court by indictment is concerned. The power of the Court to proceed to try the prisoner is as mucn arrested as ir tne indictment had been dismissed, or a nolle pros, had been entered. There was nothing! before the Court on which it couKi hear evidence or pronounce sentence. The case comes with in the principles laid down by this Court in ex parte L.ange (18 Wall. 163k ex carte Parks (93 United States, 18); ex parte Wil son (114 United States, 418); and other cases, inese views disDense with the ne cessity of examining into Questions concer ning tbe formation of the grand jury, and its removal from place to place within the district. Tbe Court is of opinion that the petitioner is entitled to a writ of habeas corpus, and it is accordingly granted.' This decision of the Court is practically equivalent to the discharge of the prisoner i cum cusiouy. i j u A decision was also rendered by the Court to-day In the Virginia coupon tax case of William L. Royall against the State or v lrginia. i n:s is an appeal from the judgment pronounced against! Royall by the Supreme Court of Appeals of j Virginia on me sain oi r eoruary last, in the case iu which be was prosecuted by tbe State for practicing his profession as a lawyer with out license after having tendered j coupons oi raw oiaie in payment or his license tax. 1 ins uoutt Holds that the ore ent case can not be distinguished in principle from that oi itoyau vs. Virginia, 118 u, B.J572, and on mat autnoruy ine judgment of the Su preme Court of Appeals of i Virginia ia re- versed, and the cause remanded with direc lions to allow the writ of error which was prayea ror. upln ion by i Chief Justice waite.- ; i A decision was also rendered in a similar coupon tax case of H. A. Carper, jailor of ruHws.1 county; Virginia, against Richard L Fitzgerald. Appeal from United States mrcuit uourt for the Eastern District of Virginia Fitzgerald ia I a travelling salesman. - He was arrested j in j Pulaski county, Va , for doing business withont a license, after he bad made an offer of tax- receivable coupons in payment for such license- Upon a writ of habeas corpus he was discharged from custody by Judge Bond, of the U. S. Circuit; Court for the Eastern District of Virginia sitting as Cir cuit Judge in chambers at Baltimore. The State of Virginia, through lite jailor, ap pealed i rom judge Bonds decision to this Court. This Court holds that the Act of March 3, 1885, allows appeals : in habeas corpus cases only from a decision of the Circuit Court, and that the decision of the Circuit Judge Bitting in chambers is not a decision of the Court, even j although such Judge may order the papers filed i and his order lecorded in the Circuit Court. The appeal is therefore dismissed.

Wabhingtoit, March 28. The First Comptroller or me Treasury has decided an important question in regard to the ex ecution oi tne act passed at tbe last session of Congress providing for the redemption and sale of school farm, lands now held in Beaufort. B. CM by the United States. One of the provisions of the!act is that "Before such redemption Shall be awarded and title restored on any such application and proof, such applicant shall. pay into the Treasury of the United States tbe amount of the tax. penalty, interest and costs properly charge- auio against me tanas aescrioea in bucu application, together with the cost ot advertising - the v sale of said lands." etc r The question - arose as - to whe- ther it will be compliance with law if the money is paid or deposited to the credit of the Secretary of the Treasury until invested in U. S. bonds, and also whether if the money is paid into the Treasury it can be arawn mererrom to be invested in U. 8. bonds without special appropriation. The jnrst comptroller has decided that as the act specifies that the money shall bo paid into tbe Treasury if would not be comnli- ance with the law to deposit it to the credit oi me oecreiary, and that after tbe money has been deposited in the Treasury it can not be drawn therefrom, but in consequence of appropriations made by law. . j -Washington, March 28.

One of fha greatest reforms ever inaugurated in the railway passenger service of this country was consummated at the meeting of the ioint committee oi Trans: Lines and nn -tral Traffic Association, held at' I Commis - sioner jrina's office to-day. A unanimous agreement was reached which will abolish absolutely and forever the payment of ticaet commissions by railway companies to agents of connecting lines -for the sale of passenger tickets. This abuse which began woia man iainy-nve years ago. has grown to such enormous proportions that it is es timated it is now costing the railways of At. TT 3 a 1 3 . ue uaiieu oiaies airecuy and indirectly at the rate of more than $5,000,000 annually, and has to a great extent been the means by which ticket scalpers have been built up. ine central Traffic Association has been at work for' over a year in endeav oring to reach an agreement for the aboli tion of this system of bribery, but not until now have the lines been able to reach unan imous agreement. A' circular announcing this agreement is given to the public to day; It is addressed to all ticket agents and ticket sellers in tbe United States and Canada. The vast importance of this movement may be estimated when it is understood that the Various associations agreeing to abolish ticket commissions comprise the Central Traffic Association, composed of all the im portant lines east of Chicago and St. Louis and west of the western termini of the trunk tines; lines of trunk lines in territory which includes all lines between Buffalo. Sala manca and Wheeling on the west, and New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore on the east. The trunk lines took the initiative and abolished the commissions more than a year ago. The Southern Passenger Association, Which comprises all important lines east of tbe Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac; .the New England Association. comprising all important railway lines in New England. The agreement is made more binding by another clause: nmviriinir that neither of tb.9 agreeing comnaniea will act as agent for connecting lines who con tinue to pay their agents a commission, and it seems hardly possible that any line will now continue this Dractice. which it ia o. snowieaged by all produces no business Wn&tever. in hnt nf trifling. ro!ua t nni ,.

Hnn Reynolds committed suicide at the custom house this afternoon "bv nlnnHnw rinn elevator shaft from the third floor. - He fell a disUnce of eighty feet and crushed in bis skull. . The cause of the act was mental de rangement superinduced by hallucinations that he was about to become insane. In his pocket was found a letter to his wife stating that two years ago he contracted malaria at Aspinwall and had faileit tn cover; the disease settling in his spine. Re cently he had been troubled by insomnia and frequent nervousness. Visions invited him to join his dead friends, and fearing lest he should be a burden to his wife by becoming a lunatic, having twice before . nJ.red. ith dementia, and his estate of (35.000 being in order - nnimn..'i and productive, he determined to end his life.
