THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 187S.
Hon Edward, McPherson, who
for the post twelve years has been
Clerk of the House of Representa
tives,' retired froxrT office with one
dollar arid seventy-six cents to his
credit. During his term over six
millions of dollars passed through
his hands. Boss Tweed, a Demo
craUclderman, of New York,
f tole over twenty million of dollars
in four or five years, and his Demo
cratic keepers .finally let him get
away with but slight punishment.

crats in the North at least profess a
love for the government anJ the
Union of our fathers. Not s with
Southern Democrats. We doubt
whether, for instance, a dozen of
their leaders in N r th Carolina, if
placed upon oath would say that
they cherished one iota of respect
for there-united government under
which we live.
The Republican party is founded
upon love of country. Its main
and most essential feature is devo
tion to the Cnion. A Republican in
Maine is the same man in senti
ment as a Republican in North
Carolina. Both have a common
love for a common country, and
both have in view the greatest
good to the greatest number."
We hope the young men of North
Carolina will study carefully and
without sectional prejudices the

three story brick edifice, known a3
the Giblem Lodge, (built and own

extensively enlarged by the, gener
ous offer of a gentleman owning ad
joining lots to place there at the
disposal of the Industrial Associa
tion. Tne agricultural department was
well represented, containing the
finest specimens of the st&p&i pro
ducts of the State.
There were cotton stalks wih up
wards of seventy-five Iarg-' and
fully opened bolls. There w- re va
rious assortments of orn, hp spe
cimen being a p.trt of ;ii;i"teen
barrels raised on one a?raof ground.
There were rice, tobaco, pe.ts and
cereals of a very superior quality,
and turnips, potatoes and other
vegetables of mammoth siz s.
In the department of live stock
and poultry, we noticed some of
the largest and best breed of hogs
and fowls that can be found within
the borders of the State.
The mechanical department pre
sented an exceedingly fine display
of wagons, buggies, carriages, plows
and various farming implements,
together with numerous creations
of skillful artisans. Among the
objects attracting particular atten
tion in this department was a car
riage constructed 1 by James liOW
rey, E-.q., of Wilmington, which
for elegance and subtantiability
combined has rarely been surpassed
by any similar vehicle ever exhibit
ed at any uf our State Fairs.
An uncommonly hand-some open
topped buggy, of which the entire
iron work with the exception of the
springs were made by hand, and
the whole put-up in the space of
two weeks was also much admired
and upraised by competent white
judges. Other interesting speci
mens of negro skill and genius
were a patent steam-saw mill, a
patent mole trap, a patent stair
case, plaster ornaments, fec, all of
which' rellect the highest credit upon
their authors, and furnish incontes
tible proof that colored men have
the capacity to become great and
famous as inventors, machinists
and architects.
In the department of tine arts,
the oil paintings and sketches were
many and quite fine. In some of
these drawings there was plainly
perceptible artistic talent of a very
high order.
Floral II ill was beautiful in the
excellent taste with which every i
thing was arranged, and gorgeous I
in the richness, profusion and varie
ty of the articles on exhibition.
Here wus combined the useful with
the ornamental. Flovvers, real and
artificial, cloaks, wrappers, quilts,
specimens of embroidery and other
fine needle work filled and adorned
the spacious hall wherein they were j
exhibited. Let the colored huiies
of North Carolina who tailored to
contribute this inaguiiUrent feature
to the exposition rtst assured that
they have acquitted themselves no
bly, and let theiu bear the proud re.
flection that they are entitled to the
thanks of the Industrial Asscxjia
tion and of every visitor at the Fair
for these products of their ingenui
ty, dexterity and industry.
On Monday, tho first-d.iy of the
Fair, tho Masons, Odd Feiljws and
Fire companies turned out in full
uniform, and after parading the
various exercises of the nutes ex
cited the admiration and astonish
ment of those who heard and saw ;
and drew large. and arixiousau

few persons who chance to visit one
or the other departments of our in
stitution become fully ; acquainted
witli .the wonderful attainments
possible for this class : pf unfortu
nates to make, and what they learn
they can but faintly impress upon
others. We dare say, therefore,
that the entertainments given by
these cjiildren iqr Wilmington has
done more for the honor and repu
tation of therinstltutlon than could
have been done through any other
means. ' Mr. Debnam who is a
thorough teacher and an able and
efficient supervisor in the colored
department did credit alike to him
self and the institution which he
represented by his full and clear ex
position before the people of the
system of instruction pursued with
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind.
It were an injustice to close this
communication without reference
to Joseph C. Hill, Esq., of Wil
mington, President of the Indus
trial Association, and the man who
almost single-handed instituted the
Fair aud conducted it through
many discouragements to a most
gratifying success.5 Mr. Hill is a
young man, being only about thirty
years of age. He is of unmixed
African blood, of large physique,
and of noble and commanding pres
ence. His whole appearance and
bearing indicate a strong intellect
ana a rugged euergy that enables
him to overcome with seeming ease

Many farmers in the west," and
some in what we call the east,"
are troubled as to what they shall
do, with the piles of straw which lie
about their fields. Upon the same
farms with these nearly useless
straw plies, many head of stock are
kept, and many more might be
kept, which could be made useless
in reducing the straw to a condi
tion in which it would serve as
manure. If the already -urgent
