He is so much in I. i i Sympathy with his party, mainly composed of, the "largely savages, to whom Judge Russell lef erred in hie letter, that he is willing, to hand It - I ! , over tbe twenty-six negro bounties to 'the control of the blacks, j This pretentious and yet ignoran ; politi cian is ready to give the negroes control of the purse-strings. This is the real import and end of his letter He proposes a sort of round-about way but the end m view is to give ine negroes control, mere never was a more foolish suggestion made by mortal than he makes, j cor one more inimical to the true interests of the white people.- If there pad been any doubt of, the assertion: that Dackery is a demagogue, his' letter must remove all doubt forever. He is wholly upset and dissatisfied at the present system of County Gov ernment. He says the "valuation of property, laying of taxes add control of public schools are far removed from the people" that is, from his negro allies and chief supporters and that "this is subversion of right and tends to sap fundamental princi- pies. - ii is a "ianaamentai princi ple" of a Republican form ot Gov ernment, as administered by Radical schemers, political adventurers and chronio office-seekers that the igno rant and unlettered should control the purse-strings of the! property owners and levy and spend the taxes collected from the people. The Radical oandidate for Gov ernor has a remedy and snch a reme- dy it is. He wants the Legislature to change the system. He proposes that an act shall be passed "author izing the Governor, on thl petition .i I . oi not less tban one hundred free holders of any county, to) appoint a Doard of audit aud finance for each uuanty, io consist or as many mem bers as the Board of County Com missioners, to be of both political parties, and the majority thereof toe be of opposite politics to the major ity of the Board of Commissioners, without whose consent iot a dollar of the people's money shall be ex pended."; II' Thieisthe mouse produced by the laboring of the Radical mountaini. He proposes a system that would i . i i give ignorance and vice" lull con trel ot that would stop the wheels alto gether. How could there be any progress, an7 proper expenditure under such 'a wild-goose scheme ? The Board of Audit and Finance to be controlled by Radicals and the Board of County Commissioner? to bo con trolled by the Democrats or rice ver sa. How would this work? TheDem ocrals in the counties couMnot make any needed expenditure without Radical consent or 'approval. It is true the Democrats could keep the negroes and their allies from wast ing vr pilUging.the funds, but igno rance would dominate all the same, for the negroes could lock the wheels completely. j ! ' The whites in the East want none tbisDackery nonsense. It is a trick, a dodge, a scheme to propitiate uranco and catch votes. It is cifcCtived in mischief and will be worked in iniquity.' It begins in dtuiagoguery and if successful will end in calamity to the State. Duok ery's balm is not the balm sought by the whites. The balm of Oliver will not begin to do. i URIOIJS INFERENCE FROM A QUOTATION, A gentleman at Maxton writes us on the 13th July thus: ! ' What is the origin of 'The noblest Ro man of them all'? I remember that it was applied to Thurman in a nominating speech a few years ago and supposed that it re ferred to the intra citizen s remarK mat 'There's not a nobler man in Rome than Antony. But the great joke of the season is the fact that the idea is out that it means that he is a Catholic.'1 i if We codv this for a double purpose, although it was intended for our pri vate eye. We were recently stopped on Ice street ana ; asKea u juage Thurman was a Roman Catholic? It seems that this belief is spread ing. Perhaps it grows out of the oft quoted line, "The noblest Roman of them all," which is nearly at the close of the great play of "Julius Csesar," and is in the last remarks made by Mark Antony. Wehaeno information concerning Judge Thur- man'dcburch relations. We have never seen u mentioned in any XMonnern exchange to what church he belong- id, if any. His father was a Meth- pdit preacher. We are unable to give the origin of its application to Judge thurman. j It is just one of those well used lines in Shakespeare who furnishes half of the notable sayings of, the I world - that have been applied by ten thousand writers to ten thousand men. We suppose we tiavo used it many scores of times ia the course of our editorial life, and have honored a dozen men by applying it to them. Caesar was a favorite withrShake- epeare. tie regarded mm the greatest of men and in more than one play signalizes his admiration by pro- DOunciDg him greater than all men. We have not a copy of his works at hand, but we remember that he re fers to him in the same play quoted from above as "the foremost man of all the world," or words to that im port. In another play he speaks of him sit the "greatest man in the tide of timee,"or something quite like this. It is funny that a Shakespearean phrase when applied to an eminent American should be thought to indi cate his religious views and sympa thies. Suppose another passage in the play of "Julius Ccaesr" was to be ap plied, as it might be, by some indig nant citizen of the great West to Chinese Harrison in view of his fa voring the free coming in of Mongo lians while favoring the great tax of Monopoly that grinds to dust in the mill of oppression the hard won earn ings of ten million American toilers, "I bad iaihcr be a doe. and bav the moon. Than Euch a Roman" would that indicate that a Presbyte rian Ruling-Elder was a member of the Church of Rome? Capt. Augustus Landis and Col. Roger O. Gregory, two of Gran ville's leading citizens, are in our city. Their wives accompany them. Capt. Landis was at one time enroll ing officer and was stationed in this town after he was severely wounded and disabled. He says Wilmington looks like a new town. We had a pleasant visit from these gentlemen and true Democrats. "The foolish 'free whiakev' crv has al ready become discouraged with itself. It was a nolilical rohrback that could not last." Ba'timort American. Rev. So the Republicans are as soon as this ashamed of their "foolish crv" for Free Whiskey. There is nothing like a healthy public sentiment for curing such stupidity and demago gery. There is hope for the country. Tbe Street Car. The Street .Car Company began operations yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, and up to 10 p. m., the close of the day's run, with only four cars, had carried 1,816 pay rmsseneers. This is a capital showing a hearty manifestation ' of appreciation of an enterprise whieh adds greatly to the convenience and pleasure of the public. The whole equipment of the company is undoubtedly of the best; the cars are i handsome and nnm- fortable and the trains the - finest to be found on any street railroad in the country, j The company had to encnnntAi mann ta: x day; everything was new, horses and drivers untrained and unused to the work, and the track untried; but with all these drawbacks the company met fully the : expectations of its patrons. j j i v Mumoniai8 oi tnoBe manufaeturere,The Brown Ootto New London, Conn.

Under the" efficient supervision of Col. F. A. Olds, every thing that is necessary to the comfort and health of the soldier boys while in camp has been arranged and is pronounced as perfect as it is possible to make it. All of the field officers, and in fact all connected with! the enoampment, praise the location of Camp Pender, and express the hope that the State may be induced to purchase the site for all future encampments of the State Guard. I The camp was inspected by Col. F. H. Cameron, Inspector General, who reports as follows j H'dq'bs State Guabd, Camp fended, Wbightsvtxle, N C, July 18. "88. General Johnstons Jones, Adjutant General : Sir: In compliance with instruc tions reoeived from His Excellency, the Governor, I desire to state that I have this day carefully inspected "Camp Pender," preparatory to its occupation by the State Guard, and have the honor to report upon its condition as follows : The camp is laid off in a rectangu lar hollow square, its lines drawn in strict accordance with military rule and custom, and with sufficient tent room accommodation for the num ber of men reported or expected. The camp has been reasonably well policed, and is well supplied with good water, fuel, lights, straw, etc. The sinks are located on the best ground available, and are well ar ranged and protected. The hospital isi large, clean, and admirably arranged. Great care has been taken to avoid risk of accident by the removal of all decayed trees, or limbs of trees, liable to be blown across tents or company streets . The parade and drill grounds have been cleaned of all weeds and brush, and are well arranged for the pur pose intended, j I desire to state that I have also inspected the accounts and vouchers of Col. F. A. Olds, Q, M. G., who was charged with the duty of preparing the camp for occupation, and find that they are not only properly and correctly kept, but that great care and economy; have been observed in the matter of expenditures. The camp, as you know, lis admi rably and Healthfully located imme diately upon the f 'Sound." Its lines were located and laid by Col. William Gaston Lewis, Chief Engineer, while the pitching of the camp 'and its general preparation were conducted under the immediate supervision of Col. F. A. Olds, Q. M. G , and I take pleasure in testifying to the faithful and efficient manner in which these officers have discharged the respon sible duties imposed npon them; every reasonable! care having been taken to secure the health and com fort of the troops at a modicum of expense to the State. Yours, very respectfully, F. H. CameroS", Insp. Gen'l The Wilmington ! Light Infantry, who left the city on the 2.30 train arrived at the depot at Wrightsville at 3 p. m., and! were immediately marched to camp They carried forty men i . ; j ! i " i ! t j . All the officers'jquarters, as well as those of the men, are well arranged, and are supplied with everything conducive to the: comfort and well being of the occupants. Gen. Johnstone Jones, in conver sation with a representative of the Star, spoke in glowing .terms of the camp and its management being es pecially pleased with its apparent healthfulness and convenience. He further said that everything had been conducted with great precision and that all the troops arrived on time and without delay or accident of any kind. "In fact," he said, "I have vis ited encampments .of the regular ar my that were not conducted near so well as our present one." Everybody anticipates a glorious time for the" boys and every one will do their utmost to make this encamp ment one that will long be remem bered by all ,wh are so fortunate as to be participants. 1 For the convenience of the soldiers, a refreshment stand has been erected in the pavilion grounds, where every thing from a sheet of writing paper to a milk-shake can be had at a very small outlay of capital. Everything; that is possible has been done for the accommodation of visi tors at Wrightsville during the en campment, j Flags are flying and the residences and hotels are being appropriately decorated. I THE NUMBER IN CAMP. xne numoer joi troops in camp, rank and file, is about eleven hun dred. Every section of North Caro lina is represented, and every com pany of the four regiments of the State Guard is in camp. This is something for the'State to? be proud of and which Wilmington is proud of. The Pasquotank Rifles, of Elizabeth City, Co. E of the First Regiment, commanded! by! Capt. J. E Wood, has the largest! number of men in camp, there; being 59 including the fine band. The Edgecombe Guards, Co. A, First Regiment, come next with 55 men. J FIELD AND STAFF. Brig. Gen.!

Those wishing to visit Camp Pen der should refer to the special sche dule of the Seacoast Railroad Com pany printed in the Star. Eleven trains will be run each way every day, affording all needed facilities for going to and returning from Camp Pender. Every precaution has been taken to guard against confusion or accidents, and the telegraph line just completed, and now in operation, will add greatly to the facilities for running the trains. CAMP NOTES CoL F. H. Cameron, Inspector Gen eral N. C. State Guard, was suffering from a slight attack of rheumatism in his right arm and shoulder yester day. It is hoped he will have a speedy recovery. I Col. Carl A. Woodruff, TJ. S. A., ar rived at Camp Pender yesterday and went Into quarters. He is much pleased with the camp arrangements. Capt. F. T. Atkins, of Clinton. Quartermaster Second Regiment, was as busy as a bee yesterday. Under his efficient management everything pertaining to the welfare of the gal lant Second has been arranged. The telegraph line to Wrightsville was completed and opened for busi ness yesterday. I There are three stations Wilmington, Wrightsville, and the Hummocks. It was reported that a branch line would be put up connecting Gen; Johnstone Jones1 headquarters with the main line, but up to a late hour no definite arrange ment had been decided npon. The Young Men's Christian Asso ciatlon were busy yesterday making arrangements for holding services du ring the encampment. It is to be hoped that they may be successful in their efforts to afford the troops a means of passing many pleasant and profitable hours during the evenings Tne Kntimpmem Formally Opened General Orders Head to tne Troop Tne Itoallne of Camp Dntlea An. i noanced Reeimental and Company i Drill Dreaa Parade, Etc Camp Pender was astir at the "peep 'o day" yesterday, but ther was a noticeable absence of the confusion which might reasonably be expected on the eve of an; encampment of such large proportions. Promptly at 8 o'clock the various companies which were to participate were formed, and, led by the Durham Light Infantry, moved into position around the flag-poles on which were to be hoisted the State and National colors. Adjutant General Johnstone Jones jand staff, attended by Col. Carl A. Woodruff e, f the TJ. S. army, ap peared on the scene. After a very earnest and touching prayer by the Rev. Dr. Carmichael, the Mecklen burg Band played "Dixie," the fa miliar strains of which caused many hearts to swell with memories of the past. As the! Mecklenburg band concluded, the Durham Band played the National air, and the State and National colors were raised to the peak Assistant Adjutant-General T. B Young then, read the following : GENERAL ORDERS NO. 11. Headquartkbs N. C. State Guard, ) i Camp Pender, WmoHTSVTLiiK. N. C July 18. '88. i I. By direction of His Excellency, Governor A. M.

Young: Second Lt. and Acting Ass't Apjt.- urenerai. Camp Pender was then declared formally opened and staff officers and troops retired to their respective quarters. ' ! GUARD MOUNT. Guard mount was next on the programme and was witnessed by a large assembly of visiting ladies and eentlemen. who were c-rnatlv interested in tne various intricate and difficult movements connected with this duty. j REGIMENTAL DRILL. On the conclusion of guard mount and the appointing of officers of iue aay, regimental arm was an nounced and the different regiments marched to the drill ground, where a very creditable display was made; in deed, taking into consideration the iact that a great number of recent accessions have been made to the different companies, the many move ments through which they were suc cessfully put, goes to prove that there has been no lack of efficient training on1 te part of the officers. ibout a half-hour's hard drill- ' ?i m eniiJSELer e marched back to quarters, and then began training -and exhibition drills by various Com panies, when 'many : difficult move ments were gone through with great celerity and precision. A .novel feature, to many of the visitors present, was the manoeuvers of the Scotland Neck Mounted Rifles. Although this company has beenbut recently organized, and - were unable to bring their horses' with them, yet, With a determination to "get there, with both feet," they . moved on the parade grounds, where their drilling won the admiration of all on-lookers. The regimental, exhibition and practice drills closed the first morn ing of active military duty at Camp Pender. Large numbers of the soldier boys availed themselves of the time allot ted before the afternoon drills to visit the Hummocks and beach. A fine surf was rolling in from old ocean,and the hurrahs and laugh ter as some inexperienced bather lost his grip on terra firm a, and was sent, rolling and scrambling,, high up on the beach by an unexpected breaker, attested the enjoyment of surf-bathing. Official orders having been issued for the afternoon drill, promptly at 4.20 the first call was sounded, and at 4.80 the troops marched to the drill grounds. The bands accompanying their respective regiments, added; greatly to the occasion by playing a number of martial airs. DRESS PARADE. . Six o'clock being the hour appoints ed for recall, the troops marched back to quarters to prepare for dress pa-j rade. which had been ordered for; 6.80 p. in. At the appointed time the regiments again paraded on the; grounds in full dress uniform, ac- companied by the regimental bands During the dress parade the fol lowing general orders, and Invitation from the Carolina Yacht Club, were read: General Orders No 12.

The services began at 5.30 a. m., with masses by the visiting clergy, and at 9 o'clock there was ser vice for the children. Deep interest was manifested, and the church was crowded with people representing every creed. The clergy assembled in the residence adjoining the church and at 10.3fl, preoeded by the Young Catholic Friends Society, by cross- bearer -and acolytes, the procession entered the church, followed jby Right Rev.

After the gospel the Cardinal as cended the altar, and, -taking his text from the 13th chapter of St. Paul to tVio TTohrAws. 1 delivered n. most elaborate and able discourse on the "Perpetuity of the Church," He was listened to with marked attention by the large congre gation. The Cardinal bespoke for Bishop Haid the confidence and sup port of the Catholics of North Caro lina. He alluded feelingly to the fact that he' (the Cardinal) was the priest of St. Thomas twenty years ago, and that it afforded him pleasure to again visit Wilmington, where he had ever received most courteous treatment. The music of the occasion was of a very high orderj The choir consisted of Mrs. J. A-Lochfar, soprano; Mrs. J. M. Donlan, alto; Mr. J.W. Relly, ten or; Richard Grant, bass.

A Negro Raplat of a Young WnlteGlr Hons nyalHob near Aahevlllt, N. O. SberlfT nakea a Bold nealatanca bat ia Overpowered. : by Telegraph to the Morning Star. AsnavrLLB. NJ C, July 15 Yesterday afternoon a tumor reached here that a rape bid been committed on Bailie Kale Parker, a white girl, thirteen years old, by a negro, in the northern suburbs of the city. The police were notified, and the country and town searched closely for the guilty party. About 9 o'clock last night a negro named John Humphreys was arrested. The girl had stated - that i the negro wore a striped shirt and was barefooted. When arrested Humphreys had on a white shirt and shoes; but it was ascertained that he bad taken off the striped shirt, j put on a white one, and also put on shoes. He was made to put on a striped shirt and take off the shoes, when he was taken into the presence of the girl, who identified him immediately. The ne gro was locked up in the city calaboose. Coonaiderable excitement prevailed, and whispers of lynching were heard. In-order to avoid this, at -one o'clock this morning the negro was put in the steel cage of the county iail. About 8.15 a. m a band of twenty-five to forty masked men came to the jail, and before Deputy Sheriff James Worley was aware of it they were in the jail. He grabbed a gun and ran to the top of the steps, and opened fire on the crowd, which was returned with showers of bullets. No one was hurt as far as as certained. Worley was overpowered, but would not give the combination to the cage lock. I The mob. being' prepared with crow bars and sledge hammers, tore the cage to pieces, occupying fully an hour in doing it. The mob took the negro out and hung him to a tree, about a quarter of a mile from the jail. j I As soon as released Sheriff Wor ley rang the fire bell, headed a posse, and tried to recover the prisoner but was elu ded by the mob, The girl was waylaid on her way from town in a hollow in the woods. The negro crept up behind her and choked her dewn. The girl a throat and face were torn with finger nails. The ground where the assault was made shows the signs ox a hard strug gle, it is rumored that the negro made a full conles8ion or bis guilt before he was hanged WASHINOION. The Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 17. Several Sena tors were absent to-day, in consequence of which an understanding has been reached that the Fuller case shall without fail be taken up and disposed of Thursday. Favorable action has been taken by the Hou90 Committee on Military Affairs on Representative Lee's resolution calling on the Secretary of the Interior for informa tion relative to tne treatment oi applica tions for pensions of officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps, who served honorably, throughout the Mexican war. but whose names were dropped from the rolls because of their action in joining the Confederate forces. It is stated that the Commissioner of Pensions has refused to grant applicationsfor pensions in such cases, Washington, July 17. The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill reported to the Senate to-day, has been increased by the Senate Committee from 123,300,000 to f 27.300.000. but is still t6.500.000 less than estimates. It exceeds last year's bill by nearly five million. The bill increases or makes new provisions for public buildings as follows: Greenville, o. U, $50,000: Jacksonville, Fla., S30.O00; Savannah, Ga.E 875.000: Yicksburg.

Mr. Randall passed a comfortable and restful night, and is stated to be much better this morning. It Is hoped that he will be well enough to be removed to Chestnut Hill about the end of the week. Mr. Randall received a number of callers during the day, and to-night he continues to hold the improvement noted in his con dition this morning.
