it has gone the rounds of the Demo

! ed in this connection from the Tar
boro Southerner, in which paper the

off in a sort of typographical blaze
of glory.
Mr. Sain Parish, Chief Clerk to
the Secretary of State, a printer, is
lost sight of; but this is not the
point. Every solitary One of . these
tcorkingmen have teen elevated to
their present vositions by the JiepulA
lican party. Not one of them ever
did receive or ever could have re
ceived an office at the hands of the
Democratic party. They owe their
present positions and standing to
the Republican party, and to that
party must the working-men of the
State and South look, if they would
ever rise above mere hewers ' of
wood and drawers of water for the
descendants of the former ruling:
class of the Southern people.
This Republican party gave to
the joor and working-men of the
State a homestead and mechanics
lien law, under which the poor and
bankrupt of the war have sheltered
those wives and little ones whom
the Democratic party, if , in power,
would have driven into the streets
and to the woods under which the
laboring men of the State h "tve been
able to force all employers to pay
them and under which Raleigh,
with most of the other towns and
cities of the . State, has grown in
population, and improved more in
building and material growth since
the war than all the yeark before
the war had shown. j j;
One would suppose from thus
reading about " The Raleigh Prin
ters " in Democratic papers' thatthe
Democratic party had had some
hand, if not the exclusive 'share in
elevating that class of working-men
to the honorable positions jof pecu
niary profit and public tust they
now enjoy ; otherwise, it i difficult

Reference Is made in the local
columns of this paper tq the pro
posed monument to General Rob
ert E. Lee. This is a work that
might well enlist every American,
regardless of States, sections, the po
litical divisions of these" times or
the colors worn in the late conflict.
Robert Lee was a representative
American. In qbedien.ee, to a high
sense of duty, to ..the State he loved
as a mother, lie drew his sword, but
every blow he "struck in defence of
Virginia was as if he had sheathed
his blade in his own bosom, that
never cherished a thought of sec
tional hatred a bosom to which
the guilt of plotting-treason was a
stranger, and from whence Seces
sion drew nontj of its inspiration.
The heart of the man broke at Ar
lington in 'Gl. when he returned
his commission to a government
he had served, and which he loved.
The hero sleeps at Lexington, at
the end of that march from Appo
mattox, as sublime as it was mel
ancholy, as grand as it was gloomy
and as heroic, to the highest periec-
tion, as the pride of patriotism has
ever exalted.
The name of Lee is as much the
common inheritance of the Amen
can people asthatof Washington;
his fame belongs to the whole coun
try, and is nojt to be allotted to a few
of the leaders or the uemocrauc
party, nor appropriated by a single
section, lie stood the grana coios
sal American was the living fel
low-citizen of every American, and
is the dead hero of the whole Amer
ican people. In attempting to give
to the work of rearing a monument
to General Lee political significance
and party caste, a few Confederate
Generals have outraged the memo
ry and libelled the life of the dead
chieftain have deliberately clone,
with Lee dead, a violence, and of
fered an insult they had not dared,
with Lee living.
Generals of the Confederate Army
l and gentlemen of the Democratic
party, are reminded that there are
some men who love the memory of
Robert Lee, though they may not
bow the knee to the Raal of a false
Democracy some men to have es
teemed it a glorious privilege to go
to the death under the eye of their
noble old Commander, who do not

in a reputation like this, could have

The Era presents itself to-day in
a second enlarged form, and other
wise greatly improved in general
appearance. Tho present enlarge
ment gives one-third more reading
matter than the last size contained,
and just twice the amount contained
in the seven column Weekly first
begun at the price of one dollar a
year; so that the subscriber who now
pays two dollars receives a paper
twice the size and double the read
ing of the one dollar sheet of last
year.
It is confidently asserted that no
paper of the dimensions and reading
of the Era of to-day has been before
given to the public of North Caroli
na, and the appreciation of that
public can only be determined
through Vs support.
The conductors of the Era rely
very confidently on a liberal sup
port for the paper in its present
shape and the improved conduct
the enlargement and the times af
ford, for it is the determination to
make the Era the most useful and
acceptable paper in the State. While
it will advocate, most strenuously,
the highest principles of true Re
publicanism, tho enlargement of the
; paper will mark a "new departure"
in so far as hasty and inconsiderate
expressions made in the midst of
political excitement, and under cir
cumstancesof party resentment,may
have at times given unnecessary of
fense to a community of sentiment
which, however prejudiced, is nev
ertheless entitled to courtesy, con
sideration, and all proper respect.
iNot that the Era will weaken at
all in its attachment to or advocacy
of the principles of the Republican
party, but it will aim, in this time
:of profound peace in North Carolina,
to impress the politicsand sentiment
'pf this period for calm reason and
.courteous discussion with a higher
tone and purer morals than public
jdiscussion has been ready for at any
previous time since the beginning
of those dark days preceding the
sectional hostilities of the other de-
icade.
The present arrangement of the
reading matter of the Era excludes

So violent and exterminating has
been the fury of misrepresentation

people of whom co-operation with
the Republican party was expected j
but the truth is certain wliite men,
in dissrracincr themselves and the
positions they have held, have de
tracted from the Republican party,
while the general good conduct of the
colored men of the State has been
such as to disarm their strongest
foes of the opposition. Simple
justice to them demands a public
sentiment inside of the Republican
party which shall compel good be
havior on the part of the men
whom they have elevated, and the
honest hard-working masses of the
white men of the Republican party
have long demanded that official
misconduct shall not be upheld by
party organization nor excused on
the ground of party fealty.
With this determination promi
nent in the policy of the Era the
paragraph alluded to was permitted
to go out, that Judge Clark might
have excuse for demanding vindic-
tion at the hands of his party organs
and advocates if the charges were
not true. In common with every
other Republican official of the
State Judge Clark has been
most inhumanly misrepresented by
the Press of the Democratic party,
and hence, it is with no surprise,
that the Editor of the Era is placed
in possession of a letter from a prom
inent member of the Wilson Bar,
not of the Jtepublican party, in
which ho, for himself and in be
half of other members of the Bar,
indignantly denies the malicious
charges andinueudoesof the Gokls

To the Editor of The Era :
In the Wilmington Star of a re
cent date appeared a com m uniea
tionr dated at Raleigh, which reflects
in very indecent terms upon Pres
ident XJrant, and upon prominent
Republicans of this State. The
writer evidently . tries to make the
impression that he is a colored man,
and that attachment to the interests
of his race inspires the bitterness
of his denunciation. This man
may be colored, but the phraseology
would seem to indicate the contrary,
particularly in that portion of his
card which refers to Supervisor
Perry, as having been guilty of an
act that would stamp him as the
meanest of ic h He men. But let us
admit for the present that "Grand
Army" is a colored man, and that
he has been badly treated by the
administration in the distribution
of offices. Does he expect better
treatment from the opposition in
the event of their obtaining the con
trol of public affairs. If cleaning
spit boxes is such an indignity that
the soul of "Grand Army" revolts
at it, what does he anticipate from
a party whose record is written in
the blood and tears of his race, and
who unblushingly confesses in the
Legislative Hall of this State that
there are 40,000 Ku Klux in the
State of North Carolina who were
sworn to resist unto death the ad
vancement of the colored people
to the personal and political priv
ileg which they now enjoy! He
surely cannot have forgotten that
the leaders of these murderous as
sassins proclaimed to the world as
a cardinal article of their political
creed that the line of color should
be in the future the line ofdemar-
kation between the Conservative
and Republican iart'es in this
State. If this dogma has been ex
punged "Grand Army" would do
well to make it known ; but it has
not been expunged, and on that
line they will continue the battle
either on our front or on our flanks,
until they or we meet with such a
defeat as overwhelmed the 3rd Na
poleon on the field of Sedan. Surely
then "Grand Army" is too good
and true a colored man to desire
any affiliation with a party thus
distinguished for its opposition and
enmity to the claims of his race.
It is to be presumed that "Grand
Army" was a slave like the balance
of us, or if he was not his lot was
only more intolerable if possible in
North Carolina in slavery times.
Now has it ever struck "Grand Ar
my" how overwhelming the con
trast between what he is in 1873
and what he was in 1803? Nay be
tween what he was in 18G7and what
he Is to-day? Six years aero his
oath was of no weight in any of the
courts of the State wherein the mat
ter at issue related to a while man
Look at the difference now. We
not only testify, but sit as jurors,
and many of our race occupy the
judicial bench and other high posi
tions in the South. We have equal
rights and privileges with our white
fellow-citizens, who but a few years
ago were our owners and masters,
and could drive us in the cotton
field with the same whip they now
use to drive their mules. And
what party held the reins of gov
ernment in this country during all
to the tax-payer, to the teacher and
to parents; that tests should be ap
plied which 1 will rigorously . and
certainly exclude from the profes
sion of teaching every incompetent
and unworthy applicant. Adopt a
high standard and adhere to it. Do
not yield to the idea that if compe
tent teachers cannot be found, cer
tificates must be given to applicants
who are not competent. This is a
fatal idea. It is fatal to the success
of public schools. The law makes
it a duty to give " certificates to all
applicants of sufficient moral and
mental qualifications," and to no
others. If you make tho standard
high, applicants will come up to it,
sooner or later. It is better that the
school funds should remain in the
country treasury than be wasted by
giving to incompetent teachers.
I most respectfully recommend
and advise that a teacher's certificate
shall hereafter indicate with cer
tainty: 1. That the holder is of good moral
2. That he is familiar with all the
branches of study named in his
certificate. '
3. That he knows how to teach,
and how to make and keep a school
register; and how to govern a
school. -
Every applicant for a third grade
certificate should stand an approved
examination on the sounds of the
marked letters, and in spelling,
reading, writing and ' arithmetic.
All the sounds of each vowel, and
the marks by which they are dis
tinguished and words in which
they occur should be given by each
applicant. Fifteen, twenty or
thirty words should be named, and
the applicants required to spell
them in writing. An applicant who
spells more than one-fourth of the
words wrong, should be rejected.
Every applicant who cannot read
intelligently and fluently and ex
press the sense and meaning of what
he reads by proper emphasis and
intonations of the voice should be
rejected. Every applicant who can
not write a good copy hand and
who does not know how to make
and keep a school register should be
rejected.
Every applicant who cannot ex
plain the principles of addition,
subtraction, multiplication and di
vision, recite the multiplication
table and the tables of denominate
numbers, and explain the princi
ples of vulgar and decimal frac
tions, should be rejected.
Every applicant for a second
erade certificate should stand an
approved examinations on all the
branches above named, and in ad
dition thereto on English grammer,
descriptive and physical geography
and map-drawinar, English compo
sition, history, book-keeping and
arithmetic completed.
Every applicant for a first grade
certificate should stand an approved
examination on all the branches
named for second and third grade
certificates, and in addition thereto,
on drawing, algebra, geometry,
surveying, natural philosophy, as
tronomy, chemistry, physiology
and botany.
If the Board of Examiners will
adopt the standards which the law
requires, and give certificates only
to applicants of sufficient moral and
mental qualifications, their action
in this respect will not only meet
the approval of the public, but it
will secure confidence in our public
schools. When examiners yield to
the idea that certificates must be
given to a sufficient number to
teach the public schools to incom
petent persons, it competent persons
cannot be found they simply yield
to the idea that if the school money
cannot be used, it may be wasted.
I beg the examiners to adopt the
idea, and stick to it, that every
hence their true interests are Iden
tical with ours. Then let us teach
them to feel and think as Southern
people and not as strangers in a
Strange land. We honestly think
our best and most moral citizens
ought to teach the negroes, as much
for our own good as theirs. We
would rot ourself- teach a, negro
school or a white one as to that
matter, because we have no taste
for the business, but would respect
none the less, but commend, the
honest and conscientious white
man, who for the sake of improv
ing mankind, would teach children,
white or black. One thing is certain,
the negroes are determined to be
taught and are showing a commen
dable zeal in the pursuit of knowl
edge, and is'ent it in accordance
with the "eternal fitness of things"
that our own people should teach
them.

Dr. J. E. Bentley, the Surgeon in Charge,
late Assistant Physician and Surgeon in the
"Philadelphia Bellevue Institute," is a gen

physician of experience, and well skilled in
the treatment of cancer by our methods.
Dr. Greene has for 3 years had charge of a
Branch Office, to Dr. Kline's Institute, at

of cancer and other Chronic Diseases hus
been unprecedented.
Cancers will, as heretofore, be treated

us in saying that more permanent cures
have been made by them than by any and

In fact, the deeper you penetrate
in the woods the more intelligent,
and, in one sense, less countrified
do you find the inhabitants; for
always the pioneer has been a trav
eler, and, to some extent, a man of
the world; and, as the distances
with which he is familiar are
greater, so is his information more
general and far-reaching than the
villagers. If I were to look for a
narrow, uninformed, and countrified
mind, as opposed to the intelligence
and refinement which are thought
to emanate from cities, it would be
among the rusty inhabitants of an

this. time of blessing and freedom to
our race? The answer is at hand
Every oae knows that the Repub
lican party inaugurated and carried
forward to completion these great
and beneficent measures in behalf
of our race, and that the present
ruler of the Nation lent all the
power of his great name and office
to establish them and make them a
success. No true hearted colored
man and Republican will find fault
with the President for conferring
office on Sam Carrow. Next to
Governor Holden and Hon. John
Pool, he has done more to put down
the Invisible Empire than any
other man in the State, and deserves
the life-long gratitude of every col
ored man in the State for so doii
lieinember that he stood one man
against 4U,u(.iu, and that ne never
faltered in his duty during these
years of danger and death, and that
when he leaves the office which he
has so efficiently filled for four
years, he leaves not - a ivu Jviux or
ganization in existence in North
Carolina. This is a proud boast for
Sam. May not "Grand Army" af
ter all be one of those foxes let loose
by the opposition with a fire brand
attached with the intention of set
tins: hre ' to the standing corn as
Sampson did once for the Philis
tines; if so, he will accomplish
nothing with the thinking, hard
working portion of the colored peo
pie of this State, who, appreciate
iheir present altered condition from
what it was in the dark and dismal
past, and are now laboring hard to
better their condition and fit their
children to occupy and hold such
positions in society and government
as their capacity and intelligence
will entitle them.

teacher's certificate given to an
incompetent or unworthy person
is a license to obtain public money
under raise pretences. -
A question arises here in regard
to giving certificates to - colored
teachers. Should the rigid rule
here recommended yield anything
in1 their favor? The rule should
not yield to the extent of authoriz
ing incompetent teachers for colored
children. The honorable character
of the work and duty of educating
the colored people, is becoming bet
ter understood in this and other
States. Is it more degrading to in
struct colored children in school
than it is to preach to colored peo
ple in a church, or to instruct them
to work on a farm or in a manufac
turing establishment? The work
of teaching is a branch of industry
which should be accessible to such
colored- persons as will prepare
themselves for it. I think they
should even have the preference in
teaching their own race wherever
they can be found qualified. If suf
ficient numbers who are well quali
fied cannot be found, then I think
the Board :of Examiners should ad
vise and encourage whiti teuhers
who are well qualified, to teach
colored children. The public sen
timent which wTould ostracise the
faithful, honest, competent white
teacher for teaching colored children
is a like unwise, unhealthy, ana
detrimental to the public good. The
law make", provisions for educating
the colored race; the tax payer rec
ognizes the wisdom of that provis
ion bv voluntarily taxing his prop
erty to carry it into effect. The
purpose of the law and oi tne voi
untary tax payer should not be
thwarted by a public sentiment
which has no foundation in reason
or good sense.
I would say then, if colored ap
plicants are well qualified morally
and mentally, give them certifi
cates : otherwise, not. Let the
standard be high, and equally high
for the two races. Then the public
money will not be wasted.
V ery respectfully,
Alexander McIver

and do not hesitate to give the
honest convictions of our heart on
all matters of public interest.
The white children or the county
as a general inmg, are proviaea
with tolerable competent teachers,
but the case is far different with the
blacks. Some of their instructors
are as ignorant as thir pupils. This
ought not to be, for it is admitted
by all intelligent people that .fcxlu-
cation is a great civilizer and pro
moter of virtue. It is further ad
mitted that ignorance is the hot-bed
of crime and misery. Where men
are so ignorant as to nave no just
conceptions of right and wrong or
of their moral responsibilities, they
are indeed to re pmea. vynere
children are well taught they are
good and happy. Where the cul
tivation of their mind ana neart is
1 they are dissolute and
vicious, ignorance can De dispelled,
immorality be suppressed, and vir
tue and worth be fostered only in
one way. ana tnat is by providing:
good teachers for the boys and girls
who are so soon to be men and
women.
As we have said, gecerally speak
ing, the whites have pretty good
instructors, but the blacks have not,
nor can they successfully teach
themselves. Then shall we allow
them to be taught by Northern men
