That much of an issue has been raised and by this paper will be maintained, for, representing and holding the progressive princi ples of the Republican party the Era is bound to strike for the ma terial progress and internal im provement of North Carolina. It must make and have issue with any and all who oppose that progress or attempt to hinder such improve ment. The Era, under its present man agement, ceased to be the personal organ of any man, or the official or gan of any administration. It seeks to be the exponent of the truest and best principles of the Republican party, and the servant and repre sentative of a progress and prosper ity in keeping with the times. Of the honesty and integrity of Tod R. Caldwell, there is no doubt entertained anywhere. His worst enemies would resent an imputa tion of personal or official dishon esty In the Governor of North Caro lina.

They Want to see the statement in print before they die, and, although at first de termined not to give it during the pendancy of their application for commutation to life sentence, the Era, distrusting the issue of their application, finally concludes to gratify, this little, two human be ings who stand in the very shadow of the gallows. As the day set apart for the exe cution of the capital sentence on Mordecai and Griffice drew near, the two condemned men seemed to pmerienco some of the terrors of x J - death and anxious hopes for an ex tension of their term of life which form no inconsideral4o part of the punishment of criminals under sen tence of death. When the respite granted by Gov ernor Caldwell was announced to them, with the reason which induc ed the Governor to postpone the ex ecution, the two men seemed to re gard their death on the gallows qn the day newly set down, as some thing inevitable. From their conversation, it seem ed to them that of all God's crea tures they were the lowest and poor est; so low and so poor that the very sacrifice of their lives would have sullied the day devoted to those who had suffere d death in bat tle; so utterly insignificant that the officers of the law . had not time to turn aside from the business of the day to strangle them, and they were thus graciously permitted to exist until a less auspicious occasion pre sented an omortumty for their be- . - , inr rhfttwl to dfAth.

He said he had some shoes and cloth and other things, and asked us if we didn't want to buy any thing. Tom Griffice said he'd as soon buy as not and asked to see the things. He-took the cloth and shoes out and a box of cigars. He gave us four or five of the cigars and then Griffice, seeing that the box was not full, ask d him how it was, and Bryant said that he had spi lied some com ing out of the door. Here Griffice explained. "I got a bed quilt, thieie yards of cloth, and two pair of siloes. I gave him three dollars fof these things and then he gave me an old white hat." Mordecai then said "I gave him three dollars foi two pairs shoes and five yards of $ heeting."

The selection of an assistant Bish op for North Carolina was a matter entirely with the Episcopalians of this State. They have settled it in a manner, it is to be hoped, satis factory to themselves. It is, to say the most, not a matter of legitimate criticism for the secular newspaper press. But the language quoted above is matter fit for criticism. The great body of the Episcopalians of North Carolina do not care to be told by the Society and Court Journal of Raleigh that Mr. Lyman has been chosen assistant llbhop because "ho married a ?..iss Albert, of " Maryland, of a wealthy and well- known family of that State." Nor is the statement that " his " lady is Intensely Southern in her "sentiments, and sympathized "deeply with tho soldiers of the " Confederate States " necessary to protect his Lordship against the imputation of " Carpet-Bagger." Neither the "wealth" nor the "sentiments" of the wife are pe culiarly recommendatory of the Bishop, and if there be anything specially meritorious or extra reli gious in the circumstance that this good lady is " intensely Southern in her sentiments " it is clearly not a merit belonging to the new Bishop. He Is expected to come preaching " Christ and him crucified," with the love of God burning "intensely" in his bosom, not bearing the credentials of a political campaigner, flaunting a cheap sympathy for the South during a struggle in which this devoted section wanted some thing more substantial than the sympathy of " Northern men with Southern feelings." Rev. Mr. Watson, of North Ckiro fma,hadhis sympathies ,and himself, enlisted in that contest on behalf of the South. He went with the sol diers staid with them went about doing good among them. Preached to them, prayed with them, march ed with them, and for the weak and faint carried the guns and knap sacks of as many as he could bear. When done to death in defence of their section, this man of God was on hand to perform the last sad rites of Christian burial for the fallen brave. Does the Xetrs intend to convey, that, sympathy for "the soldiers of the Confederate States" recom mended this California minister to the Fayetteville Convention ? And If so does that paper presume to measure the long drawn out sym pathy of a distant Pennsylvanian with the works of a North Caroli nian present, and "going about do ing good" among the soldiers in camp, the sick in hospital and the wounded and dying on the bloody field? language like that quoted aboye ment.

The men had finished their story and it being read to them they both attested its truthfulness and called Mr. Hayes to witness that they had so attested it. A few words of conversation with Mr. Hayes begging him to assure them that he would be with them as much as possible until death and they both became , silent and were left to their own company. In their story of the crime they were at least eonsistf ut and the impression of these who heard it was that the men had spoken the truth. They knew that efforts had been made to save them from the halter and they knew, or thought tfiey knew, that those efforts had failed. After ont o vouching for the accuracy of the statement they ceased speaking of it and did not seem to think that any chance was left them, nor indeed did it seem ual drunkard, but be will be ultimately, Unless something shall occur that shall cause bim to abstaiu.

The only sure preventive u total alstinence The Good Templars are life-long total abstinents. ' They occupy no middle ground. He who parleys when liis integrity is fit stake, is already lost. He who plajs familiarly with the rat tlesnake will be fatally bitten. He who tampers with ardent s'piritg, whether in his own house, or at the festal board, or in & quiet, pleasant restaurant, will sare ly fall. To drink at all is to recognize and to eutertain as a friend that which is wholly evil. Temperance, in its true signification, is more difficult than abstinence. Let us, then, labor to rescue those who have fallen, and, above all, to prevent druukeuness by cutting off the demand for ardent spirits. It is not necessary or advisable that we denounce or assail hose who make and sell ardent spirits. This article will be ' furnished as long as the demand exists If the fire burns, shall we go into it ? It is our own fault if we arc drunkards. Ve cannot devolve the re sponsibility fur our own acts on the shoulders of others. Long, long ago, Eve was not excused when she laid the blame for her sin on the serpent. We must begin t the root of the evil by drying up or cutting, off the demand for ardent spirits, and this can be done, as I think, most efficiently and success fully, by total abbtinence. Hence my gratification at the existence of the Good Templars, and the remarkable success which has thus far attended their efforts. There are about ninety thousand col ored men in thi3 State over the age of eighteen. It may be fairly estimated tlint twenty thousand of these expend daily each ten cents for i-.rdent spirits. Twenty thousand multiplied by ten cents gives two thousand dollars. Thus, ten l cents expended by ten men eacn wouiM j be one dollar ; ten cents expended by j one hundred men e.ich would be ten dol j l:irs; ten cents expended by one thou i sand men each would be one hundred .dollars; ten rents expended by ten I thousand men each would le ; oiie thousand dollars, and ten cents ; expended by twenty thousand men ; each would bo two thousaud dul j lars.

" The Era is already in possession of some facts reflecting no credit upon the parties involved, either as officials or private citizens; and since the private remonstrances of the Editor of this pa per have not been regarded, he has de termined to 'Lew to the line, let the chips fall where they may.'" I find no fault with any newspa per for criticising my official acts ; in fact criticism is invited from'i friend and foe. Fentertain no such exalted opinion of my abilities, or infallibility, as to think that I com mit no errors, or make no mistakes. I am as liable to human frailties as other people, but protest that if I do commit errors either officially or as a private citizen, they are unwit tingly and honestly committed. I have not taken my pen, how ever, to defend my public or private character, but only to make a re spectful request of the Era and it i3 this, to point out in what way, man ner, orsliape, I am concerned " in a Littlefield and Swepson ring here in the city of Raleigh " or anywhere else in the wide world. The Era says " it i3 already in possession Of some facts reflecting no credit upon the parties involved, either as officials or private citizens, &c, &c." Why not out with the facts? If the Era knows of fraud or dishonest prac tices among State officials and fails to sound the alarm, it is not a faith ful sentinel upon the watch tower, but makes itself a particeps criminis by concealing the valuable infor mation " in its possession " until the conspirators against the public good consummate their base purpo ses. Would it not be much more manly in the Era, to come out boldly with " the facts in its posses sion," and make an open and direct charge against the offenders by na ming them, no matter who they may be, rather than make vague insinuations, and throw out uncer tain inuendoes in a general way which are calculated to injure the character of persons who may be entirely innocent and blameless? Or does the Era prefer to be in a position to say that its strictures were not intended for a certain ofn i cial, when the falsity of its charge 1 as to that particular official or indi-' vidual is made manifest? 1 As one of the parties who may, or may not be aimed at in the editorial j of the Era, I challenge an investi- ' from any quarter, and earnestly request the Era, if it is in possession of any " facts" touching my action with regard to Kail road rings, or t 11111 HUU1U XL" to make red children oi tiieStat!

Joxes, Assessor of Internal Revenue for this District, has turned over the books and pa pers of his office to Collector Young, and thus retires from the position he has so long, faithfully, and, to both Government and ieople, ac ceptably filled. Few public men can survive a Government position in these days. Willie D. Jones can. He Is even more popular with the people than ever, for his conduct has been to help and not oppress them. He re tires with the approval of the Gov ernment and the confidence and esteem of the public. Rev. W. S. McDaiiimid, IMitor of the Lu ruber ton Eobesonhm was drowned in the river at Lumber ton on Thursday last. His lody was recovered on Saturday, a mile and a half below the point where he was drowned. Mr. McDairmid was alone at the time, and wa not missed until Friday morning,' when his clothing, towel, soap, watch, pocket-book A.C., were found on the river bank. He could not swim and is sapposed to have gotten into deep-water.

Hon. John Tool has been most unnecessarily and unjustly assailed by the Washington Jicpublican and some one or two papers in this State. If any friend of Mr. Pool desires todefend him, these columns are open. The Era has always en dorsed him, and claimed for him a high order of merit" in the public service of the country, and the po litical service of the Republican party. It does so now. But it does not specially champion him. Mr. Tool has himself suggested that It shall not do so. But the aspersions of the Republican have no effect or approval at home whero Mr. Pool is best'known. Among the Repub licans of North Carolina he stands equal with any other gentleman of that party, and deservedly, too. nation Mordecai sat on the floor with his knees drawn under his chin, his feet as close together as the heavy connecting link of the shackles would permit them, and his face resting in his hands. Now and then though his head was raised and his eyes darted quick glances into the faces of those who were in the cell as though he would fain read in some of them a sign of hope. He seemed less like a man than some beast that had been hunted down until it had cast itself on the ground to be spared out of sheer pity as be ing too worthless to kill.. Ignorant as he was, the old Mosaic principle was strong within him, and in his quaint vernacular he complained that he could not see why The should die for 'an oflence against a man who was still alive. He expressed his belief that when death did come it would bring him hereafter a peace he had not enjoyed here, and then having been recalled to the object of the visit, he collect ed himself and made the following statement : On the Saturday night when this robbery was committed, I was sit ting in my house with Griffice when Green Woods, Bryant Jones and Mason Ball came and told us there was a frolic at young Len. Adams' about four miles out on the Smith field road. They asked us to go with them, and both Griffice and mvself went out with them. We went on our way, as we understood to the frolic, and as we approached Mr. Hicks' house, Bryan JonesJ said, "Well, we'll get some liquor now to carry on down tothe frolic." We stopped near the house then, and Bryan Jones added "Don't let us all go in together." Then Ma son Ball, Green Woods and Bryant Jones went to the door and Bryan knocked, calling Mr. Hicks three times. ?H Mr. Hicks called out IIold on till I put on my pantaloons."

I regret my inability to be with yoc on this ocassion, but I respectfully ask leave to avail myself ot the opportunity which is thus presented to me, to say a few words on the subject of Temperance. ! I have observed, for some time, with interest and gratification, the move ments in progress ambng the colored race to promote temperance, or which is better, abstinence from ardent spirits. I antrejoiced to see maDy of j-oar lead ing men advancing to the front in this movement. There is no evil under the sun so great as that of iti temperance. It pervades, afflicts, and ultimately de stioys, body ad sou!, hundreds of thou sands of our people. It is everywhere, in all circles, from the humble hut to the marble palace, holding its .poor victims in its deadly coils, consigning nil of them at last to poverty and want some of them to jails and penitentiaries, some of them to the gallows; disturbing the peace of families, breaking the hearts of mothers and sisters,- entailing igno lance and vice and wretchedness on thousands of children, and sapping all the " foundatione ot moral integrity among loose wnom its lnnaence reaches. Evei the moderate use of ardent spirits, if this moderate nse did not almost always lead to habitual drunkenness, should be carefully avoided, for the leason that it renders a man unfit for business, public or private. No man, though , he may appear at the the time to be sober, can put himself under the influence of ardent spirits without feeling that his judgment is either perverted or beclouded. Bat moderate drinking, as I have intimated, almost always leads to confirmed drunkenness.

Mr. Beecher and the deacons of Plymouth Church have resolved to have an investigation into the charges of scandalous immorality made against the great preacher. A brief official letter from the Post at Fork Clark, dated May 20th says, alluding to Col. McKenzie's operations against the Kickapoos and Lipans : " The march, over 100 miles, the fight, the destruction of two villages, and the return to camp with all the captured stock and prisoners, were accom plished be tween noon on the 17th and day light of the 10th forty one hours with a loss to Colonel McKenzie of only three men wounded ; one, it is supposed, mortally. - lo the Editor of The Era: The Sentinel of the 28th in an ar ticle on the return of the mechanics lately on strike to their labor, re flects very unjustly upon a work man, formerly in the employ of Messrs. Allen & Betts. In justice to that workman and in refutation of a grossly malicious slander the following explanation of the mat ter is given : The workman was for a consid erable time in the employ of Messrs. Allen & Betts, and during his con nection with them he employed the j firm to build him a dwelling house to be paid for by his labor. This was done. Tho house Was built and the firm paid to the utterrnost cent. The relations of .employer and em ploye went on uninterruptedly un til the late strike, when the me chanics of Baleigh combined to procure for themselves treatment no harsher than their condition compelled them to submit to. The workman who had -been emplyed by the firm mentioned and who had in June employed them to build his house, kept faith with nis com rades and ceased work until the compromise was effected. Then he found that though others were re employed he was singled, out for a victim and refused to be allowed to return to his labor. The comrades whom he had kept faith with, kept their plighted word too, and refused to go on with the work of Messrs. Allen & Betts until the victim was re-instated. These men at the time of writing are still remaining out as an act of justice to the workman in question. There is no politics in the matter on either side. The men who struck did so for a good purpose, and that purpose being accomplished, they do not choose to permit any one of their number to be singled out as the object of private vengeancce. F.
