i On Monday last a fit Embassador of

his appearance in this city. This d is-

about C)0 pounds and wasaboutlG feet

to appreciate the picture. He is a small

I contemptible, pucilanimous sncat, too

Lord .Terrell has grown so immensely
that he has detailed this fellow for his

of his highness told a Republican here
that it "made no diflerence to Lord

can tell him if ho and his master
keeps on as they have been , for the
past two years' 'appointing Democrats

no will the Kepublican party, and
the scum that is now on top, such fel

his department, will be boiled over the
lop and destroyed in the fire of Kepub-
licau wrath, that they hayc been fecd-

been heaped upon the southern liepub

do it vvith this knowledge, and also

He dissected the Greenback platforms
in Ohio and Maine with a skillful hand
and with incisive power, literally flay
ing and destroying them in the light 01

the Secretary of the Treasury yindi
catcs his masterly financial wisdom
and power, and secures the confidence
of every friend ot sound government
and nonest money in the country.
We notico that in certain Republican
qiiarters the efforts, outside the finan

those who indulge in such criticisms
will lean! in due time, if they do not

the country that "the recent revival by

doctrine of state rights" he rewards as
the most important question of the day .
i ml ANfiwhftre refers to it as "the issues
before which questions of money , labor,

earnest warning, he appeals to the peo

ne made a two houra speech and after

exposing the fallacy of the Greenback
dogmas, Mr. Sherman, briefly 'summed
up the good results of resumption, and
closed as follows :
There are battles of4he future which
affect your speech and y our honor j ore
than all the money questions that I
could discuss.) There are questions' of
the immediate future that rise above
money and bonds, above property and
profit. There is the safetv and sunrem
acy of the national government, which
is again called into dispute by the very
men who waged the war against us for
four years; for doctrines which pre
ceded civil war; the' very doctrine of
State rights, which led to war and
caused the loss of blood and treasure "to
an extent for which there is up parallel.
They are again coming up for discus
sion and decision. You cannot avoid
them. An honest Greenbacker today
told mo that while he had some doubts
on the greenback question, he had be
come alarmed at the danger of the
southnc,fn quf?ion
I tell you 'tis upon
us. 'Ihe solid south i-- made solid bv
terror and violence. I cannot describe
or depict tho condition of the four or
five million hujmaii beings we emanci

and violence that they , a ie practically

that the solid south wants is a fewipco-

govern this country, as th y tried to

question of the future was the question

what they many. The position of
sheriff, constable or police officer should
be held only by men ofj discretion and
judgment. No one should be allowed
to hold an office of the kind unless he
is a man, at least twenty-one years of
age. Yet we find on investigation that
young Schriver - is not yet twenty, and
has been in office some twelve months.
Who put him there? AVho is responsible
for appointing a boy to that position.
The County Commissioners of New
Hanover county, elected him to the
place, they are alono responsible the
people for appointing this youth to the
responsible position of constable, and
we honestly believe tne j piooa 01 poor
Jones is upon their bands, and the

Countesses," by Mrs. Elizabeth Van
Loon, author of "a Heart Twice Won,"
and The Shadow of Hampton Mead,"
is published this day by T. B. Peterson
on Brothers, Philadelphia, and undoubt
edly shows that to compose an original
and striking work of prose fiction is not
among "the lost arts," about which a
great orator used so eloquently to dis
course some years ago. Most of the
characters are American, but the action
shifts from the New World to the Old
frem this country to Europe, Franco
and , Italy, and is a strange mixture of
reality- and. romance. Characters the
most contrasted are brought together
in the strangest and the most unex
pected combinations. Incidents the
most startling are adroitly narrated
with so much vraisemblance I that the
reader will be puzzled how to take
them ; yet the improbable eventually
turns out to be the truth, and what
fuight be anticipated from their results
does not oecur In these days, when
society novels, historical novels, pro
fessional novels, literary novels, tourist
novels, and sensational novels are very
numerous, it is well, if only hy way of
relief, to have a story in which the
writer,following the aboriginal example
so carefully "covers up ner tracts," al
