The Message.
The message of President Grant
i-a plain matter-of-fact document.
It contains no nourishes, no extra
words hut is replete with common-y.-iiefrom
beginning to end. Much
or the mosajre is devoted to the
discussion of the financial eondi-
ii n of the country, in which he
strongly advocates an early return
t., -juvie payments, and, in view of
that end, rather advocates an in-cp-ase
than a diminution of the
revenue to an extent sufficient to
ktepon hand enough gold to re
dctn at all times government obli
gations. in repaid to the Cuban insurrec
tion, the Pnsid.'ut unquestionably
nth ets the views of a large majori
ty of the American people in inti
iiViting that Spain has-o far failed to
MiUlm' the insurgents as to make it
incumbent upon other powers to
tal;e -!ejs in the matter.
il t- question in which we of
the S nth are most interested, is
treavd in a candid and impartial
matt' r. While declaring his deter
ininali n to u-eal! nver vested in
hi. n to preserve order, the Pres
ident di-claimsany intention to ex
ercise authority not delegated by
law over the hc.d affairs of the
ditTerent States. He declares his
belief in the law-abiding spirit of
the U tter portion of the Southern
people, but does not think they are
acting properly in ignoring the fre
quent acts of violence in their
nihKt. He announces himself the
friend of the South, and expresses a
wil!ingius to aid them, but de
ires to disabuse them of the idea
that oppression and wrong will be
tolerated under his administration.
The factious and discontented
only can earnestly find fault with
the tone and general temper of the
document as .directed towards our
section of the country. That there
are such, we confess, but we feel
confident that a large majority of
our people see in the production a
renewal of the pledges of our pat
riot President to discharge with
eye to the interests of the nation
at 1 irze the responsible duties con
ferred upon him by the Constitution
and laws.
The Landmark, in answer to an
article in the last Era, in relation
to Mr. Waring's proposition to re
quire the exhibit of a poll-tax re
ceipt as a necessary qualification for
voters, pives an estimate of Demo
cratic happiness as follows:
44 With the whipping post restor
ed ; an efficient dog law ; and such
a law as Mr. Wnrinjr'a bill contem
plate, our country would be com
paratively happy and prosperous."
The editor of the Landmark can
k muster. Nobody can doubt
his devotion to the guiding princi
ples of true Democracy.
The watchwords in the future are
to be 44 Whipping posts, dog laws
and poll-tax suff rage." The editor
of the Landmark believes in the old
constitutional doctrine of a 44 fre
quent recurrence to fundamental
principles" with a vengeance. How
would it do to give the Public
Printer an order for a few hundred
copies of the 44 Ordinance of seces
sion?" It might bring back the
44 memory of other days."
Death of a 3Iember. We re
gret to learn of the death of William
H. Williams, a colored member of
the IIoue of Representatives from
Warren county.
Mr. Williams obtained leave of
absence a few days ago" on account
of sickness, and reached his home
in Warren a very short time before
his death. He was well and favor
ably known in his county and. en
joyed the confidence and esteem of
all. As a member of the Legisla
ture he labored assiduously for the
pood of his people and for the Inte
rests of the State.
Removal. The office of the State
Agricultural Journal has been re
moved to the rooms formerly occu
pied by Dr. V. E. Turner, No. 40
Fayetteville street, up stairs. 1
Democratic Consistency.
TIipm is :i crowing suspicion that
the democrats are not so much averse
to some form of Civil nights Dill as

perhaps in hotels, leaving out the

influential democrats acknowledge
that on railroads it is nuijusi mai
hi rmve ennal vriviteges, and
that the hotel question is not much
riiirnrent fmm that, of railroads.
Washington Correspondence of Kew
1 ork lleraia.
At the late election, Republicans
were made to stay at home in order,
as our Democratic friends said, that
colored people might not travel on
first-class cars nor stop at hotels.
Now, it appears, many Democrats
in Congress acknowledge the just
ness of enual privileges on railroads,
and have concluded 44 that the hotel
nuestion isnot much different -from
that of railroads" ! 44 We indulge
in no comments on the Civil itignis
bill " ; and comment on Democratic
consistency is unnecessary.
Tobacco Manufacturers. At
a meeting of the North Carolina
Tobacco Association, held at Greens
boro, on the 25th ult., a preamble
and resolutions were adopted which
will tend to put a stop to a great
deal of illicit traffic in the State.
The following is a copy :
Wheukas, It is a fact to be re
gretted, but not denied, mat meic
are manufacturers of tobacco who
do evade the United States revenue
laws, to the great detriment of the
honest manufacturer; therefore, .
Resolved, That we, the manufac
turer of North Carolina, do hereby
pledge ourselves to use all legiti
mate means in our power to aid the
revenue officers in suppressing the
, .Revived, That no evasion of the
law shall be practiced with our
knowledge or consent, but that
blockaders shall be exposed and
brought to grief, if possible.
Resolved, That we cordially in
vite all tobacco manufacturers to
unite with us in this our endeavor
to save the honest manufacturer
from shipwreck and bankruptcy.
Resolved, That we will here
after expose and have prosecuted
any merchants orother persons who
mav deal in blockade tobacco.
Resolved, That we will co-operate
with the Richmond manufac
turers, and recommend that an as
sociation of the tobacco manufac
turers of all the States be formed.
Resigned. We hear that Capt.
Ceo. N. Waitt, who has been for
the past ten years a conductor on
the N. C. Railroad, has resigned his
position, to take effect on the 1st day
of January, 1875.
The traveling public will regret
the loss of Capt. Waitt, as his court
eous and attentive manners had
gained him many warm friends.
We believe he intends commencing
business in our city, and we wish
him much success in his new
sphere.
Election of Officers. The
following officers have been elected
by the Rescue Steam Fire Compa
ny, for the ensuing year: R. H.
Bradley, Foreman ; Sam'l Merrill,
Asst. Foreman; T. T. Fentress,

hibition will be given by the pupils
at the Asylum for the Deaf and
Dumb and the Blind this (Thurs
