THE WILMINGTON POST. W. P, CAWAD AY. Proprietor. i WILMINGTON, N: C, ROi'UY M.OBHVSQ, Feb. 12, 1882. Now wo shall probably, hear of Pres ident Arthur, "The Union League of America," "the Wendell Phillips Clnb of Boston," "the National Republican," all being ; read out of the Republican nartv. with the Wilmington, Post, As all pt tnese parties aren wvor 01 me j liberal policy! advocated by the Post The National Council met at Wash iugton on the.7th instant, with General J. B. Negley in tbe chair. The meet ing wssf. i very largely attended the , finest meeling that has been held for years., The Council decided to do all possible to make the independent move ment in .the south successful; passed resolutions commending Mabone's course in. Virginia', and ' recommending . his I policy to the Republicans of the south. ' '-". We received a. communication from I a Mr.- Coyington, of Richmond county, j during the week bristling' with good l -p'oint and assuring us that RicEmond 1 county in the next campaign will do her full duty to the party. Our course as au-advocate ef impartial justice is heartily endorsed and we are bid , "God speed" in our efforts. The writer also informs us that the Pee Dee section has still confidence in that "war-horse of Republicanism," Col. Dockery, and they want to see him the next United . (States Senator from North Carolina. We are sorry we cannot print iu full the 'communication, aa all our space this wcclf is already occupied, but we . extend- herewith our "thanks to. Mr. . Covingldu for his able and entertain ing 'effort.' ,' ( 'i . '. TUE lNDPJcKDITSroyUI3MT L J IN K OilTlI CAKOLIN A i ; The bourbon Democratic, politician and editor may try, and keep trying to . down the independent movement in - North Carolina, but it won't down worth a cent. The fact is it has got to be 'such a great bigf thing lb at there is pot sufficient quantity of the bourbon Democracy to balance it in the scales. When the newspapers take it up; old substantial papers ike-iheNcu-bcrnian, , edited by or;e of . the brightest men in North Carolina, and a man who has the courage to say what he thinks, and back it up after he has said it; the Sa lisbury Examiner, backed again by abil . ity and, grit, both of which are papers that hare done valuable service for the Democratic, 'party, come" out as they Lave', and declare for. 'independent ' thought and action, it is time for the .old Ibourboa ring grinder to com mence shivering in his boots. But what strikes them with still greater horror is to see new: and independent papers : springing upr;! ike the Telephone at Beau fort, ! ihe-Anjut at Pittsboro, - and the - Bugle at Greensboro, N.'C. All of these ..papers are enlisted in the. independent cause, which promises well for the Old North State. The outlook was never better. Col. William Jchuson, of Mecklenburg; Major Charles Price, of Rowan; i Col. Folk, - o'f Caldwell;- . Captain Prank Woolen, of New Hanoveri Gen. J. M. Leach, of Davidson; Gen. Thomas L CUngrnan, of Buncombe, and hundreds of otaerV, heretofore Democrats, who have declared for the independent - movement, uowj have newspapers that have i Acted heretofore with them. , -in the old . Democratic party, . to 'sustain them in their course: A . toliticiaa may be ever. ; so powerful and popular with the masses of his own party or with the t people, yet he will ; break' .down unless, he is sustained by the newspapers of his own party or his section And these gentle men are to be congratulaUd on their good fortane, in hating euch able support aa the NaclxrHian and other independent pa pers can and will give them. An aggressive movement on the part of Maj. Price ami hU followers, is the true course fur them to pursue. They have nothing to fear by charging right up to the old bourbon batteries . and captur - leg their artillery.! North Carolinians are tired of the corrupt crew who bare been managing the state affairs. They are- laiy, corrupt and cowardly, and young, activp, ; dashtDg and ag gressive leaders like Major Price vnd Latham can 1 and wUl.carry the state. lUddlebcrger won in Virginia because he wasTnct afraid to burn, gunpowder, and the men in North - Carolina who win ! ivr fi,!rf tit I hit Tnrt) mml " v .77 fet it be teen that thry are not afraid.

While in Washington on Wednesday last we called at the Postoffice Depart ment on business and there had the pleas ure Tor the nrst lime in SPVpn VMN fif meeting a square Republican Postmas ter General. Ex-Senator Timothy O. nowe 01 Wisconsin, is new running that department, assisted by lion. Frank Hatton of Iowa, a good Republican and able newspaper man. and one of the very best fellows in the country, As we said some weeks ago he is the right man in the right place, and . his policy is. well understood; he will appoint and recommend for appointment Democaats -when Republicans give out, Hon. T. 0. Howe t is one of ibe few Senatorsjvho had the moral courage to fight the infamous' policy of Hayes, in giving the southern Republicans away in 1877, and for that be j was fought by the Hayes administratioa for re-election to the Senate, and was defeated. The Re publicans pt the south had no 'say in the matter or he would have been sus tained. .That was at a time when it was popular in the north to abuse and kick southern Republicans; and every northern man who stood by us was made to feel the iron heel of ,the dough face policy. But, thank' the Lord, the day has passed, and good, square Repub licans like the present Postmaster Gen eral are again on top, and Republicans of the country can now visit that de- i partment and meet with. V friends; the atmosphere inside the building is now different tban when j Democratic Key, or the reformer (in a horn) James had control of it. Some of the politicians call Mr. Howe an old fossil. .' If he is a fossil we are perfectly willing to have more such' as he makes resurrected, ..... : ..-.. and the President cannot please the fighting Republicans better than by dig ging them up and 'making 'Cabinet Ministers of them. . I TIIlS JURY QUESTION. Some of the officers of Onslow coun ty seem to think that .the fact of the exclusion of a very large number of poor white men from he jury boi was anHa a safheieut excuse, both ia law and f quity, for the wholesale exclusion of colored citizens frcra the enjoyment 01 that boon of liberty and. justice. Now, we want it plainly understood that our fight is for "the right," let that be to the poor colored man or the white man. We want - to see ail classes ea- joying equal rights. Ifis pot the col ored people alone !we are fighting fof, but all who are denied the right guar anteed to them by the faws of the land, let them be white or colored cititenS'. Now, the fact that 7f 0 and odd white men, laboring men, being cast out from the" privileges of the jury box shows very conclusively necessity of a ggi taring this question and the great advantages to be derived by them in this light the colored people are making for! equality in the law. Who would ever' suppose taat the bourbon Democracy would have used the poor, laboring fishermen and farmers of Onslow county so outra- geoasly after being put in off-ci them selves by the votes of these "very meD, and yet deny -over seven hundred of them the right to the jury box. And? we make lor these poor, hard worked white men, and tax-payers of Onslow the same demand that we do for the colored men. Let equal justice be done for every mr n, regardless of, color, is our desire. And while we are on this, question, we have been reliably informed that there are only 300 names in the jury box of Ia olhw lb8 C0mmij. sioners have excluded 900 white men from the jury box, and allot the color ored. What will our white fellow-cit itens think of this when they read it in the Post. They have supposed that' they had commissioners who would do them justice, at least; they have thought I that the fact of being white men, and having a white board of county com mUsioners, their rights would b fully protected; but not so. Thete white commissioners are as much opposed to poor white laboriBgmensfrvtogon juTies as they are to the colored men. And tbe only way to remedy the evil i to Lave the system of county government changed. Let these cfScers be elected I . - - ' . . 1 direct to the people for tsir m and thinrs will chance Wy rajUJy and eif citizens will have their, rights protected. This is the best artuaeqi we have yet heard cf ia favor of the election of county commmtoners by the ro pie. There is cot a county ia this coorreianal district where the names of one-half the white wte are ia the jury box, ad, with ths exevn- Uea of New Uanovcr, all the eWred voters are, txduied, Nw, we aV these white men, ihrre-fourth cf la vote tht Dmocralic Ucket, tf they are taiUSed with this aUta of again, ; We shall coaUaae this scjitaxioa uatil all cf the feoplC ntcsitsi.

George C. Gorbam, one of tha best friends of the present administra tion. The course of President Arthur has been to sustain the liberal move ment in the scuth, and we publish this important editorial to show our friends that the party north and the adminis tration are doing all possible for the success ; of tha liberal independent movement which we "have; been and are supportiug. (' ; ' - j ,., Beware the leaven of 'the "Pharisees. Your party cannot live without growth, Do not fear to fellowship wuh your enemy's foerr Do not fail to rebuke any who narrowly repel' recruits. The Bourbon Democracy never forgives anybody fot desertion. When you. find a rtbel against Bourbon authority you have found an ally in the cause of law and, order. You cannot control this natisn with the votes of those only who were opposed to the extension of slavery .in 1S56 or I860. You' cannot have a majority in either House of Congress by the votes of those only who were on the Union side during the reebllion. The southern states have been discordant and alien! since the war, except when for a brief time they were controlled Dy external power. The faint-hearted portion of the Re publican party in the north ! lone ago gave up efforts at preserving, order and rotectinsr rienta in the south, and that rfgion became a Bourbon absolutism. Tne southern Republicans were aban doned, and they ceased struggling for party success; lhey are now divided into two classes the one allying itself wun tne crusade against .Bourbon rule and the other holding back, and thus indirectly aiding the Bourbons, in 6rder to keep the parly small; the one strug gling to make friends for the nation and its laws among those who were not so before, while the other encourages!! : lr it. .n ! .i tuunuuiiLiuu oi iub suuen poncy; toe ens aims at anti-Bourbon control in the laics as well as in the nation, and real zes that Bourbon stales will have Bour bon representatives at Washington? the other strives only to make delegates and committees and to demand the Federal offices in consideration of their use. To the liberal class the blacks naturally belong, as shown in Virginia. Republicans of the north will do well to look at the situation. If they are willing to affiliate with all who are op' posed to the restoration of the Bourbon De mocracy to power they ;an j secure ibr thai purpose the next House of Repre sentatives ; and half of the electoral votes of the south in 1SS4. If they ad here to a narrow: close-communion policy the next House of Representa tives is already lost; aud as sucn a policy would be a withdrawal from the V lrgtnia Liberals it would make a Re publican' Senate ; impossible in 1883. lbe Autional Rqiubhcan is for no com promise wun tne enemy and lor no lowering of j,the party flig. ' Iti advo cates atliliatipn with southern Liberals as against southern Bourbons, and it will oppose so-called Republicans who are on the other Side of this propoai lion.-; ' :. ..' r. . j' -,' : 1 There is Iraason in our party, and ,it is not hard to trace. The very highest in rank in the Bourbon empire arenuw in treaty v.iih Republicans who hate our party and seek its overthrow. These traitors are among the greatest sticklers for the integrity of the Republican party -wherever they believe such a course is surest to defeat Republican ism, lhey- are goirg to do all the harm they can as Republicans before they declare war, capd then they will be found lendiEgc themselves as the figure-heads of a sham -Liberal move ment in the south to be controlled by the Bourbons and Pharaohs of that unhappy region. The Republican partv can ward off all danger by keeping him within the call ot the anti-Bour bon element in the south, boon enough their aid will be needed to help us fight tbe alliaccc between Ltourbons and false Republicans. ; ' j , T Our Magistracy. We expect to. use the term magii trait in its restricted sense, as apuhca- ble to bur Jukticea of the Peace. There is probably no better mode, of deter mining the character of the state, than to be governed by the. conduct, of its Magistrates. In the government of oar state, these held an anomalous place and exercise ah unwonted power, That a state could be free and uncprrupted wivh nuch powers in the Magistrate, is not to be supposed. ' , Their election is not by the people where common sense would teach us to expect itj but by the legU?ature. The choice there mads i f r personal in terest, or to pay services rendered. No respect; is paid to the wUhes of. the people; no regard for the interest o justice or right. Fi-aesi is not: the re quisite qualification, i As our . legisla lures, at least for years, have contained a huge tmoaat of demigogueism, char latanry and corruption; it will j sot be difficult to determine the character o many ct our Magistrates. UT course this does not apply to all case for the magistracy ox our cocnlies have many hoae& and car able men; but, ia loo many case, it is far other be. j These Magistrates, who are in no way respon sible to the people, have entire charge of the cou.ty ricancer; thus we have taxation wiiboat reprfM-Riitioe, a most i1ku ryf.rm, la aicito fiee people b u.a aboiU ; :-v;;!--' They a'so have Ute coeuoi of that very properly easel iaaUuitioa; the Iaferior Court; ala the appointment of UeUousty (AmmiMoner, to as, tat iscst laiporUnt cUcers ia the st eoverames. as these Cossmbtioaere nave the estire control of the cooaty aiTir, roads' briJfe, licenses, public boalirr. schdoU, setcctier jarics, Ac &ich vast powers shaald a be ia the haads of about ukteea persons selected .by the .kfisiaxore. hut should he hands of tne entire people.

Raleigh, N. C, FelM 2. Passing events of the last , two months .have shown that the purchase of the Care ts i r. j : una. uemrai raiiroaa, running irom Wilmington to CharlotteLAnd - from Charlotte west to Shelby, in Cleveland County; by Mr. Robinson, for the Sea board and Roanoke Railroad Company, is a matter of much more significance and of much greater importance than was at nrst supposed, person wnoown a majority of the stock:' of the Seaboard and Roanoke Company, also own a con trolling interest in the Raleigh and Gaston Comv&& The trains on these two roads nowrun through. from Nor folk to Raleigh without change. , me Augusta Air Line Railroad, wnicn runs The purchase of the Carolina, Central will enable the purchasers in a few weeks to run their trains through from Norfolk to Charlotte without change of cars.'' It is. expected that "this ar rangement will increase the travel over the Seaboard line, because the Bay line is so popular with all who have once enjoyed the pleasure and comfort of a trip from Norfolk to . Baltimore, and vice versa, over, this line.--;., lnen. again, if Mr. -Robinson, who ft President oi the three com panies already mentioned, is on the lookout for an opportunity to. extend his Toad further south, he can now do so. "From Hamlet to Darling ton, S. Crit is only 18 miles. rCoTSF plete this 7gap, and through connection can then be made with Charleston Sa vannah, and other southern cities. The fiUingin of this gap would enable the Seaboard road to compete at Weldon, N. C, for the travel to Florida, wbnb now tau the ' Wilmington ana Weldon road at Weldon and goes on by Wilmieigton. There are upwards of orty thousand persons who annually pass through this state on their way to Florida. The greater portion of this large number goear by Wilmington, a few go by - Greensboro and Atlanta over the Rdchmond and Danville line. The building of the link "from Hamlet to JJarluieton would open a tnira line, shorter at d more direct than either of thei others, and would, for these rea sons, a lair share or tnis travel, as to the increase of freight, it was consider ed by Mr. Robinson that the narrow cauee -roads running from Chester, S. C, to Wadesboro, on the Carolina Cen tral road, would be the means of great ly increasing the freight tramc over tbe Carolina Central road. This, connec tion ooens ur a larsre cotton belt that will add from &0iXX to 1UO.WOO bale ot cotton to the number heretofore trans. ported over this line, because 'charges being equal, cotton shippers prefer o folk to Wilmington or Charleston. At Li ncolnton, beyond Charlotte, the Ches ter narrow gauge road again connects with the Carolina Central road - From Lincoln ton the narrow gauge road runs north to Newton, in Catawba county, and 2then on to Lenoir in Caldwell county; From Lenoir to the Cranber ry Iron Works; in Mitchell county, is about 30 miles. This piece' of road will be completed during this year. A few ; miles bevond the iron works is Johnson's depot, on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, where the narrow gauge road will end. When completed to the Cramberry Iron Works the company ownlnr these works intend to begin to get-out large quantities of pig iron that will be shipped over, the narrow gauge road to Lincolnton ana from there to K oriole over Kobinson s line.' The Cranberry ore is the equal of any ore ia America. There appears to be an inexhaustible supply. . . The mine has , not been developed for tbe want of a railroad . to shin the iron. Great returns are expected from this one article of freight by Mr. Robin son. . ' . is-' ''' ', :- Another reason for the purchase was the fact another company, chartered in io7? and Headed by Uol L. W. 11 am pnrey, ox uoiasooro, nas nad a new line surveyed from buffolk, vt, to Goldsboro, N. C, The projectors of this new line think that a line com peting with the Sea-board and Roanoke ttoad from I oriole to Ueldsboro would make paying dividends. Connection at Goldsboro with the North Carolina Road, ss" managed by the Richmond and Danville Company, is considered by Col. Humphrey and hb associates as a matter of great importance to their line, as it would prevent a diversion .f rreignt and peeacagers at CharleUe and would open aa aaotber comtetiB? line from Norfolk to Raleigh by way or Goldsboro. There aas been a fight of long standing between the Richtaoad and uaavuie Oompaaj and the Sea board aad Reaaoke Company. Mr. Robinson, Presideat of the Sea-board Company; is a great friend of Senator . li. Vance.
