V 80 8PUBRING UP THE NORTH. - Some of the Northern Republican organs do not like the "indifference" shown in the North on the subject of disfranchising negroes in the South, and in the efforts of some of the Republican statesmen to reduce Southern representation in Congress and in the electoral college. jThey are now endeavoring to show the indifferent up and get them to whooping for fellows who propose to discipline the South. A recent issue of the Philadelphia Press, whose editor-in-chief, recently resigned from the Cabinet, published some extracts from Congressman Moody's speech, upon which it comments as fdllows: . j "But the part of Mr. Moody's speech which will Impress the public most profoundly ta bis statement of the difference which has grown up in the North as to the rights of the col ored mao, its injustice and the cur taint (bat the harmful results of this indifference will react upon the white people, both South and North. There la notbing more pitiful than this in difference, unless it be its shortsighted nest. Toe North is especially culpable in this matter for it bas had one stern lesson in this way. The love of money blinded thousands of Northern people to consent silently to tbe crime of slavery. They wjere willirg to acqui esce iii human bondage for fear trial any agiUtion of tbe matter might dis turb business and prevent them front carrying out their enterprises. Their tame submission emboldened the slave-holders until they believed it safe ti rebel. Tben the long indiffer nia hiil In tut alnnnd for in Inn a- riv- . era of blood and billions of treasure " "The North is committing tbe same m'sUke again in dealing with the dis franchisement question. Toe ) timid ssvthat the question will settle itself if left alone. But a wroug does not settle itself by being left alone. Sla very did not settle itself.r Disfran chuement will not settle itself. The utterance of the Chicago Chronicle. tbe leading Democratic newspaper of the Northwest, is worth quoting on this point. It says: 'No matter how well concealed it may be, no matter by what political trades it may be sup ported, no matter what prejudices it may serve, violated law must eyer bring its punishment. In tbe political and social worlds, as well as in the natural universe, violation of law is attended by penalties which sooner or later must be applied. Such States at the south as have been undertaken to set aside the fundamental law of the Renublic in tbe matter of suffrage will not escape the fullest responsibility for their wrong doing.' . "Tbe south la showing tbe same short-sightedness in this matter of dis fraochisement that it showed in re spect to slavery. It is allowing such demagogues as Tillman to mislead it as the slave-holding South permitted such fire-eaters aa Rhett and Yancv to vn 1. 1.. r it Tin ill. My o V. 1 A n aid in this second deception. And there is less reason for it now ' than formerly. Slavery was acknowledged ind protected in the constitution. But the disfranchisement of voters is ex bressly forbidden by the constitution and a penalty prescribed for any vio lation of the prohibition. There is balv one safe and sure rosd to follow In this matter, and that is to obey the constitution. The North abould aid he "South to see clearly in this matter nd not help to mislead it, as was the aae in slavery time." - This 1s a strenuous effort to scare the indifferent on the other side of !the line by trying to make it appear that there will be something horri ble in store if they don't tumble in and break up the partisans who are scheming to keep the Democratic 'party out of power by reducing the Democratic representation In Con ' - 3 l .1 . r 1 1 itvea huu iu tne electoral -college, for when this thing is simmered down this is just what all this clat ter about disfranchising negroes la the South means. They don't care a continental if the negro never voted, provided they get the benefit f that by increasing their relative olitical strength, and they would otonly consent to it but he glad of it if every negro in the South, egardless of the standing in the jommunity or qualifications, were iafranchised, provided that- result; 1 in vncii reduction as they desired M the Sbuth's representation in ngress and u the electoral col- ege. JLnen they would have no urther use for the negro, would be o longer troubled about bis "re- violated rights' and we would ."never more hear oz the negro from the political hustings nor from the political organs. Me would be a hack number and a dead issue. I But this is a noteworthy article for otJier reasons, one of which is Ihe frankness with which it admits flat "slavery was acknowledged and Totected in the constitution." And )t a small element of the party for hich the Frets now speaks, kept np u auu-Biavery agitation, denounced VOL. XXXIII. the constitution as a "league with hell and a covenant with death" and the United States flag as "a flaunting lie," organized their "underground railways" to spirit slaves from the South into the free StateB, where they were taken in charge by members of slave-stealing societies, organized their John Brown invasions, and their jayhawker gangs in Kansas, and did everything in their power, to nullify the constitution which "re cognized and protected slavery" and to drive the Southern people to desperation and to secession. It wasn't the Bhetts and the Yan ceys who did this, it was the fanatics and plotters on the other side who trampled the constitution . under foot, because it "recognized and protected slavery." They did what they plotted for, "fired" the Southern heart with their clottings, taunts and ri v iv I ""iUO ""T'rtA DhI atrnAAf ai nlaah nran fiTArl t.hA 1 Northern heart" with the cry that the Union must be saved, a Union which they had by their studied and deliberate plottings practically de stroyed, t " If these ! plotters who threw the constitution to the dogs when they made their war on. slavery had shown as much attachment to and respect for the constitution as they now prof ess to have and obeyed it as the organs which represent them and endorse their course now insist that it should be obeyed, there would have been no secession, no war and no sacrifice of so many thousands of lives and millions of treasure. But the disgusting feature of this whole business is the base hypocrisy and falsehood that runs through it. The negro was not enfranchised to enable him to protect himself against the white man of the South. Everybody who knows anything about' the history of negro enfranchisement knows that is not true. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were not passed be cause of the threatening attitude of the white people of the South to wards the negro. Everybody who knows anything about the political movements of those days knows that it is not true". The aegro was en franchised, and these amendment were hitched on to the codstitution by force and fraud, simply to Re- publicanize the South by putting the negro on top, and thus perpetu ate the power of the Republican party. It was a blow at the De mocracy of - the North as well as of the South. The Republican con spirators, who .had ignored the consti tution and trampled it under foot in their war upon the South, hoped to use it to perpetuate their power and hence these amendments, which they now so clamorously demand shall be obeyed. That's the sum and sub stance of the whole infernal busi ness! and that's why the "indiff erence" they encounter in the North worries them so much. A GEO WIN Q INDUSTRY.. Apple culture is a growing indus try in some sections of Virginia, growing in a double sense. They are growing more' apples and making moro money out of them than they are out of anything else they grow. The followingclipped from a Sa lem, Va., dispatch, published in the Richmond Times shows what is being done in that section: "During the year the development of the apple industry has created much Interest in the countv. and thousands of .apple trees now flourish upon the land that waa considered practically worthless, and Roanoke county has taken a foremost place among the apple-raising counties of the State. A number of farmers have received from $5,000 to $15,000 for this year's apple crop. This is about as good and prob b1y better than average culture in Florida now is, and a good deal bet ter than anything else grown in that part of the country, and the beauty of it is there isn't any toil, drudg ery and no guano bills and all that sort of thing for the man who plants trees and gives them reasonable at tention. Another important thing about it is that land can be turned to profit able account in this way which could not be utilized for ordinary farming purposes rough, hilly rocky land which could not be cultivated without much labor and if cnltivated would not yield much. we nave seen apple trees growing on the mountain sides in the Wes tern part of the State where it would seem that a goat would have to be somewhat careful in climbing, and these trees prodnced royal ap ples. There are in North Carolina thousands upon thousands of acres of land which are now producing nothing of value .which, wonld pro duce apples of the first quality in endless variety and wonld be source of large and continous . income ta the men who planted the orchards and gave them the protection and attention they should haver And now after all the gushing about Spindle Top in Texas as hav ing a- monopoly of the spouting business, a fellow has gone ana struck a gusher a mile and a half away. THE COMING MAN. We are all interested finrgetting some idea in advance as to what tbe coming man (women included), will be. We have been assured by various will be an armless, legless,. less, toothless fellow, but that pats' the . coming man in - a rather bad shape, and somewhat unattractive.' The latest horoscope is ' a prof essor in Butler University, in Indiana, who has been discoursing on this subject, the substance of whose views is thus given by the Philadel phia Record: "The professors at the University of Chicago are hot to have a monopoly of -yellow educational methods. A Hooaier professor of biology at Butler University celebrated the New Year by making predictions as to tbe char acteristics of the human race in the distant future. "Strange men, far different from those now living, will walk the earth in centuries to come,' h-' They will ... be a race -. "W - 4 of 'brainy, four-toed giants The brain of courae, will be the dom inant organ, and the body will be much larger than that of - the present man. This future man will not suffer from appendicitis, as the useless ap pendix will have disappeared, as will also the little toe of each foot and the floating ribs. The cheat and the upper aud lower limbs will be large aa com pared with those of to-day. All tb diseases which arise from the develop ment of microbes will have been ban ished, and the first signs of old age ill not ahow tbemaelves until the one hundredth year. The blond hair of the future will be exclusively per oxide, as tbe extreme types of light and dark people will have merged into a uniform medium type. Tnus there will be no race problem to orrv any aeciion hereafter. There will be no tremendous den tists' bills, because . man's teeth wirl not decay, and no need of disappoint ing and perfidious hair restoratives. because there will be no baldness. There will be no surplus women, be cause it will be practicable to prede termine sex, and tbe supply will har monize with the demand. The future mtmory will be discriminating. All the useless details which : it is neces- aarp to learn in order to master a few important things will be discarded and forgotten, while essential facts will re main as though graven on enduring oronie." The Hoosier professor had the discriminating judgment not to fix the time in which all this is to take place,thus escaping being denounced as a fraud by some rummager among ancient literature, in the days to come, i Discussing the war in South Af rica a contemporary mrnicm "Are . we still savages ?" As a general propo sition we wouldn't like to admit it, but when it comes to war there isn't much difference between the civil ized man and the savage, the prin cipal difference being that the civil ized man has the; advantage of the savage in the methods and ma chinery.

She will be satisfied for the present, at least, with 360 acres in the heart of Philadelphia, which has on it 'some of the finest buildings in the city.

C, i correspondent of the Charles ton News and Couriet from the latter place says that tbe road is to be built right through to Charleston as rapidly as possible. Engineers are already making tbe survey. The Georgetown and Western road will be crossed a few miles out of Georgetown. This promises to be an important railroad for Uhariestoo, as it, will open up North Carolina territory which at present has no direct railroad commu nication with that city. It will also be a competitor for Charleston freight, particularly fertilizers. There is hard ly a doubt now that this is to be mere ly a part of another great through line between the North and the South. This may be announced as almost a certainty, though it is perhaps not yet" admitted by the projectors. Jobs Schenck Dead. Greensboro correspondence Char lotte Observer: "Mr. John R.
