Uilmore published a wont entitled "The Roar G iard of the Revolution." It was all about John Sevier, the battlo of K ng'a Moun tain, &c. It was well received by the press of the count y. j He( has published a second volutne-a sort of sequel called "John Sovier as a Commonwealth Builder. ' jWVhave not seen the book but h ,ve ran over some notices of it in orthern ex changes. If the book is as slander- . e -vt ii l : J . 1 lead us to suppose then it should be taken in hand by some of jour writers who have the leisure to dp so and its gross errors and slanders khororighly exposed. Mr. Gilmore is n Northern writer but he does not seem capable of telling the truth as! .to histo ry even when that history lis of the last century or later. I We do not expect Northern Writers to observe the strictest veracity when the war between the States is under discussion. But it is not too much to expect when an historic "period is under review, in which the South was the sole acEor and the North bad only a remote interest, that the veri ties should be carefully guarded and that the story unfolded should be based noon the solid facts of historv. i . John Sevier was doubtless a re-; markablo man. But he is hardly the! splendid hero be appears In klr. Gil-, more'a romantic pages. But jwe havej no quarrel with the author at this potnt. It is when he holds up North' Carolina as a harbor for rogues and rascals; its inhabitants,! with but a - small sprinkling of, better peor pie, as among the most degraded of the earth; it is when, he paints our ''1 I people in the darkest colors, that we feel like calling him an ignorant slan derer, lie ought to study Bancroft; he ought to study Uawks; hi ought to read, the State memorials as pub lished under Col. Saunders's editor ship, before he undertake? to liapar rage and blacken the people of this State. '.lie may think by falsifying the record he can reverse history and make men behove that this State was a people of "runaways,'? and tnat"the population, excepting a few grains of wheat, was composed o'c-iminal chaff refugees and shadv Ahara'n- . j ters," but it will bo done on y be cause men are ignorant and wi ling to believe evil. j ' j The population of North Carolina was no doubt like that of the other colonies, heterogeneous, but it wa9 equal to the very best. In th Cape Fear country English gentlemen set tied. In the upper section in and around Fayetteville were the scotch Irish, and Scotch, the best of populations; in the section Wfirn snmn! Albemarle refugees," no doubt, but they were not criminals, but men of energy and 'en terprise who loved liberty and hated tyranny. See Bancroft. Alon the northern border in Halifax, Warren, Granville and other conns ties, was the best of popn ations, uuuuicus ui famines naving come down from Pennsylvania and ma. jlu me i;nariotte part of the hard v.

J As we said at,the outset, veJhave not seen the! book. We are not far wrong in what we are savin if H.T-.. ... . . f r " ortnern criticism of the book is not at fault. Mr. George ParscU La throp, ip his critical paper id the N. Y.

I Sevier, who at first was dis posed to accept the conciliatory advances of North Carolina and to remain under her government, went with the aeceders. He was elected Governor of : Franklin, ruled well and mildly, and established an efficient militia." -; - , i . ...: " . r ? We care nothing especially as to the "860688100." That was all well enough, j But North Carolina U hardly fairly dealt with in represent ing her people as so oppressive and tyrannical."; If the picture drawn ia correct we confess we have misread the books. It is true North Carolina claimed jurisdiction, but we do not think that she .was cruel.' In fact, the "rebellion" of Sevier is described "as peaceful" and after awhile "the government of Franklin was peacea bly dissolved." But, eayB the critic, following, the account of the author he reviews,we suppose, "North -Car-olina oujLlawed him," and he was "kidnapped and carried : across the monntains for trial on a charge of high treason." He was released by the couijage and enterprise of his friends. I We w aid not underrate John Se ob him of a f feather that i ; vier or adorns h is cap, but we wonia not have the people of North Carolina insulted and slandered, or tho facts of history in the slightest colored or manipulated to suit the purposes of a hero-worshipper and an historical painter. A PRESIDENTIAL TICKET. "And, really, what a splendid ticket Clevelscd and Carlisle would make! It would fairly represent the best sentiment, especially the Democratic sentiment, of the South and North." N. T.0rapkic, Bern That would be a strong ticket in many respects. Mr. Cleveland is gaining faror. He is strong with the Mugwu mps. He ia growing in strength a!mong Democrats. He would impart strength because he it regarded aai a honest, earnest Presi dent, striving to give the country a better Administration than it has had since Buch; nau retired. His weak point h the 'ish vote. Can he carry New York iigjtinst Blaine or Sher man or ison or Hawley or Gre sham? Ne York must be?Tp;cured to win the victory. Wo'til5 &r;Car lisle add strength to the'ticket in any section? Not in the Eastern States surely, but he might draw strength to the party in some few of . the Northwestern States, where Low Tariff views are beginning to prevail more and more. In the South he would add enthusiasm and zeal, and the real Democrats would be happy in having such an exponent of their views on the Presidential ticket. But as we 'ventured to hint a few weeks since, the fact that! Mr. Car lisle is a Southern man might prove an element of weakness in those por tions of the North where it might be of the first importance that the ticket should be strong. Much as the Star admires Mr. Carlisle and would re joice in seeing him in thejPresiden tial Chair, it can but regard his nom ination for the second place hazard ous, and of doubtful expediency, to say the leist. The ticket would well represent North and Sijmtb, East and West, but the Democrats have no votes to lose. The jery strongest, mast available : ticket should be chosen if we would bear off the stakes. We do not behevo that Sam Ran dall would support the ticket. He is not a Democrat except in name. He" represents neither the principles n'or policy of the Democratic narty. .If the nominating convention under takes to placate Randall and bis pe rennial Kickers then it will handi cap the ticket at the start. Tariff Reformers will not fee satisfied with any platform; that is broad enough for a Penn9ylyanian Protectionist to stand on. Mr. Carlisle would make a Presi dent of a very high order. But his day is not yet: if it ever comes. The Democrats have about determined npon Mr. Cleveland. It will be highly important to strengthen him as far as it is j possible to do so by selecting the most popular Western man who is known to be trustworthy and eonnd as to Democratic nrinm. pies and j measures i THE PERSECUTIONS' OP i ISRAELI TES- T TUB The treatment of the Jewish peo t ! ple in Rnssia and Hungary is both a shame and a reproach. A race, con fessedly one of the greatest on earth and with a history that puts to shame that of almost anv other': with m ancestry of the greatest, numbering among them poets, orators, states men and soldi ers of the highest rank; a race that was old when Rome was founded, and that had gathered around it the 'traditions and solemni ties of antiquity before 6sBsar had invaded and conquered Gall or a Roman helmet had flashed in the sun light of the Mediterranean or on the chalk cliffs' of" England ; a I race from whose loins have sprung merchant princes and bankers whose wealth ri valled that of principalities and powers; and enabled kingdoms to wage war sipon the (credit or the funds lent them-ifor such a grand, historic racer to be set upon at the close of a centuryj like ours and to be subjected io; humilia tions and persecutions that would have disgraced mediaeval darkness is to cast a shadow and stain npon the civilization of the world. ' It matters not what may be the cause of complaint andhe impelling motive to retaliation itjis a cruel abuse of-power to molestto burn, to destroy, to kill, to banish. Despotism may authorize violence and even in cite bad men to acta of remorseless cruelty1, but humanity must shudder at such -scenes, and the people of a free : and 'prosperous Republic can only condemn. Id the old king ridden countries where personal government has exerted a deadening influence npon intelligence and has lain like a mighty incubus upon , the people, crushing them in the dust and keep ing them stripped and - poor, liberal idea are of slow growth. The right of conscience, the right of free think ing, the right to grow rich are poorly understood. Centuries ; ot wrong have not lifted the peoples to that high plane of justice and right that they allow - men to work: out their destiny under;- the fear of God and without interference from men. For the Jewish people in any quar ter of the globe to be treated as they were in Hungary on the 19th insc is only an unmistakable evidence that the dark ages still rest npon a por tion of . Europe and' that the great ideas and principles of right, of jus tice and mercy have not penetrated those benighted corners of the earth. HOW ItKPCBLICANS APPIJT CIVII. ; SERVICE BEFOBIB. " - The Republican party pretends to be quite in earnest in the matter of Civil Service Reform. The Stab has not for a moment been deceived by its apparent sincerity, jit has prophecied more than once that if the Republicans should return to power in 1889, that they would kick the Curtia-Britiah Jaw out -of their Way as boys kick their rubber balla. The whole history of the Republican party proves that it is a party that Steadfastly believes in and invaria My practices the much attacked "spoils system." Did they not for a quarter of a century take posses sion of all of . the offices in the country and put in their most active, aid of ten. their most unscrupulous party tools? Nay, did they not even create thousands of offices in order to give their henchmen ' places? - When they get a' chance 'at the swill tub aain, if that curne should befal the land, will they allow the Democratic su jkera to stand aronnd and enjoy th j good things? Not a bit of it. Ti e crack of the party whip will be heard, and tho last Democrat in office will be retired quickly to thu ohades of private life to medi tate npon the fickleness of party pa tro nage, the uncertainty of daily grub got from Uncle Samuel'a de mesne and the bamboozling quali ties of the monumental humbug of this century, j They will find that Republican promises are mide to be broken, and that " Tae ample proposilion. that hope ninkes Ia !1 designs began on earth below f ails in the promised largeness." The Stab recently pointed to the action of the Republicans in Massa chusetts in State affairs where they disregarded the entire underlying prifkcipltt of the Civil Service law andj gave iha patronage to thoso of. their own political household. - There is still another and more fee nt example of Republican decep tion and disregard of the humbug law they prate so mueh about. In Cincinnati there ia what 19 called the Board of Public Affairs, f It has charge of several departments of the city government. It is a Board created by a Republican Legislature. What did the Republican Governor For-ake- do io filling the Board ? There were five persons to' be selected. There are thousands of capable and intelligent Democrats in Cincinnati. But not one of these was selected. Tim Governor appointed Jive Repub licans to the Jive places, : Now what did these, five members do vhen appointed? They turned put every Democrat in office under their control, and put Republicans in their pi toes. And that is precisely the kind of Civil Services Reform that Demo ocnis will be subjected to whenever the Republican grabbers get control of he Federal offices. The last Dem ocrat will have his official head chopped off. .-: ''he Blaine Republican Club, of Cii cinnati, demanded the , discharge of all Democrats. Gen.-Young, a member of the Republican Board, offered a resolution which was adopt ed. That resolution declared that "the so called Civil Service Reform has proved a delusion and a snare under all administrations since its inception, whether Republican or Democratic, , either in Federal, State or municipal governments." ; The resolution also declared that "it is the policy of this Board, with a view solely to perpetuate "the preponder ance for the public good' of the Re publican party in this city, and by its example in 'every Republican county and municipality in the State of Ohio, that all -appointments here after : made; or to be made, by it shall be good, honest, industrious Republicans." ' ,We make some comments thus : First, the Republicans , think Civil Service Reform an excellent thing for them whenever the Democrats are in power, second, that Civil Service Reform is not good for municipal af fairs when Republicans are in power. Third, that Civil Service Reform is only to be advocated by Republicans as j to Federal patronage when the distribution of favors is in the bands of Democrats. Fourtb,: that the much talked of law must not be ex tended to State matters, unless it be under - circumstances favoring-; Re publican control of the offices. In North Carolina, there are a good many woriny, intelligent .Democrats who are very .much' enamored of the life tenure system and think' it an excellent things for : the country. They applaud Mr. Cleveland to the echo; jtot because he executes the law, for that is his sworn duty, and he cannot well avoid it; but because he j favors i the ' indefinite contin uance of a system that is Bri tish; : that . is at ' war with the very genius of our republican in stilutions; that removes the power of control from thepeople and places it in the hands of a peripatetic Com mission; that fastens upon the coun try thousands "of office-holders for life, 4nd thus destroys the time- honored and thoroughly tested prin eiple that frequent changes in offi cials are necessary to the safety of our institutions and to the pnrity of the public service. The War Office in England is known to be honeys combed with corruption under this life tenure system. ; ; " " But the North Carolina Democrats who favor a British law as applied to underlings in office da not propose, so. iar we can learn, to . extena us. ramifying and precious blessings to the higher offices under the U. S. Gdv.ernmeBt. Why not ? Can it be possible that the welfare and safety of k great Government depend more upon a few understrappers than upon the! great " officials ? v Who - believes thai? j- , ." . - i Once more: we cannot learn that North Carolina Democrats meditate designs; that will lead them to pro poses to- apply the Civil Service rules to Slate officials. . Why not? It ia a moss excellent law, say they, and wipea out the "infamous spoils doc trinei" Then apply it nearer home. If the 'spoils system" h so infamous then get rid of it. Let no man hold office ! in North Carolina who cannot stand and who does not stand a cred itable examination in English gram mar find fluxions. Xet the Dem ocrats j who are so horrified at tnn fspoua system' Bee to it that itj is denounced unmeasuredly in the county, district and State Con ventions of -1888. Let them intro duce -solutions that the law ehall prevai throughout North Carolina, and tb it no man shall hold office who does not stand an approved exami nation and that all offices shall be open to Republicans a much as Dem ocrats ven though IhV latter should carry the State. In tile meantime the Republicans will eniy the fun, langh at the crass creduli ty of men, and get ready to "turn t le rascils out" when they get in power again. We publish the most interesting portion! famous of a communication of the Donn Piatt, furnished the Anuislon (Ala.) Hot Blast. Piatt is brill'mi , and able, but we cannot speak with confidence of hia reliable uess. Ie may be all right on that score. He knows much of the inter nal . hittory - of - the despotism that dominated the North from 1861 to 1865. lie is doing an important service in knocking from their ped estals pome of the popular idols. He Bays: . "Next to setting up a sham as a popular idol, the greatest difficulty ia to null him down again, and escape the consequences of our of n folly. Good may come out of violence j done by masses when they rise half starved against oppression,, but there is no good ia assassination. There is a dif ference between murder and war." i Gran , Sherman, Stanton and John Brown ire confirmatory examples of the saying. Several of ; onr State exchanges have j either copied what' the Stab said relative to a monument to Peter M. Hale, or referred to it with edi torial indorsement. v We would be glad to know that the editors gene rally ! were agreed in this matter. The Statesville Landmark says: "The 1 Wilmington Stab suggests that the State press should erect a monument to the memory of the late P. M. Hale, Esq. ine suggestion is an excellent one, ana it the State Press Association would take hold of it. and give it shape it would do some thing to jjuslify its existence. If the mat ter were j pressed upon the people a good deal of money could be raised in some sec tions of (the State for this puiooee: in oth er sections, where Mr. Hale waa leas known the popular subscriptions would be lighter, bat every paper iu the State could do some thing,' and all would cooperate in the move ment and it would succeed." --i-M,- The St. Paul Globe eent out circu lars relative to the candidates for the Presidency in 1888. - More than 3,000 replies from Minnesota, Iowa, Wis- cousin Dakota and .

The body of Mr. John Brennon, of Bla den county, who .fell overboard from the steamer Cape .Fear and. was drowned near the "Devil's Elbow," while the boat was on her trip up;, the .river, if last Thursday, waa discovered by officers of the same steamer on the return of the boat last Bun day. r It was floating- in - the water, fastened by a rope to a jtree on the river bank, about thirteen miles above this city. It is supposed' that ' the body had . been found and secured, by persons who had gone to notify the coroner of the county. Capt. Tomlinson, of the Cape Fear. h&A the remains of the unfortunate man cov ered with a tarpaulin, as a protection from the birds, and upon the arrival of the boat here notified the friends of the. deceased. An undertaker " with a- coffin went up on the Cape Fear yesterday 'afternoon, to re move the body to Dawson, Bladen county, the home of the deceased, for interment. Mr. Brennon was a native of Canada, but had married in Bladen county, where ha leaves a wife and one child. Hia friends say that he had about sixty dollars in money on his person when he home last Thursday. left this city for Tbe Teacher Assembly. A correspondent writing from Morehead City eaya that the meeting of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly at that place is the greatest gathering known in the Btate. Nine hundred and fifty members of the As. sembly are present. . All the lectures are by residents of this State, and in addition to the regular course there are thirteen special lectures by prominent North Carolinians. Lieut. . Francis . Winslow, of . the 2 United States - Navy, lectured Saturday evening, Gov. Scales lectures next Thursday and ex- Congressman ; A M. Waddell next Friday. Next Saturday a special report will be made-on the establishment of a North Car olina State Normal College on a scale far larger than anything previously attempted. The Assembly adjourns on the 30th inst.. and then goes to Washington in .a special train and steamer to spend a week there, iriorcbead and tho Teacher. The North Carolina Teachers' Assembly now in session at Morehead City, is one of the most pronounced successes in the edu cational history of our State. .A corres pondent furnishes the Stab with the fol lowing: ," -,"-vJ -'' V'' ' -T VM '.':.' The number of teachers and friends of education present on last Sunday, Monday ana Tuesday was from 800 to 1.000. The exercises were conducted by our leading teachers and have, so far, been full of in terest and value tq all. This is truly a norm uaronna gatnerincr, lor as yet all or tne spea&ers are rtortn Carolina teachers. The exercises increase in interest daily and while the rest of the State is sweltering in beat our hard worked teachers are not only enjoying the cool breezes of Morehead but are also growing in knowledge or the best methods of education as presented by our leaaing teacners. up to date more than sixty-live counties are represented and every train brings fresh arrivals. Surely it ia a credit to our teachers that so many attend these annual meetings, and our State is fortunate in having such a hotel as the "Atlantic to accommodate so large a crowd. - Correction. Judge Meares. of the Criminal Court, did not sign the petition asking the Governor to commute the sentence of death passed on Grant Best to imprisonment A note from Best's counsel says: "Judge Meares wrote a lengthy letter to Governor Scales, in which he reviewed the evidence and gave his reasons for believing that lithe boy was guilty of manslaughter, and recommended to the Governor that his sentence be com muted to imprisonment in the State peni. tentiary for from ten to twenty, years. The petition, signed by the citizens, was the strongest ever sent from this city in any similar case." :j . j The Recent Drowning on the River. Friends of Mi. John Brennon, recently dro wned in the river some fifteen miles above Wilmington, say that his body was robbed of sixty dollars in money. Besides this amount he had thirty dollars in bills in an inside pocket of his vest which had not been disturbed. The body was taken up the river on the steamer Cape Fear to the home of the deceased in Bladen county, for burial. ' j -i Effects of Heat on Railroad Track. A postal from up the line of the W. & W. Tailroad, says that about half a mile north of Contentnea Creek, the neat caused the rails to expand, throwing them out of line for a distance of about seventy-five yards, with a curvature of three feet to the left.
