The simple announcement of the
fact is enough without any extraor

it is, perhaps, a fitting tune to
appeal to the Republican party and
the public for an increase of patron
age, and in the fewest possible words
the appeal is here made.

D. II. Hill, of Charlotte, Col. Chas

sor E. R. Stamps, of Tarboro, in the

not expecting too much that their
ability in the solid branches of jour

this handsome income, and valuable
assistance, who doubts the grand
success of the Daily Era this Fall ?

A writer in this Era takes issue
with the proposed amendment in
i reference to the University.
As the Constitution now stands
! the University of Xori.Ii Carolina
is "held to an inseparable connec
"tion with the free public school
"system of the State."
As an institution of learning the
University is wor.-e than defunct,
and there are few people in the
State who will ever consent to its
restoration with the aid of the pub- !
lie money.
The question then is, would it
not be better to dissolve this ' insc- j
parable connection" by adopting j
the proposed amendment, thus re- ;
lieving the "free public school sys-
" tern of the State" of an incubus,!
and let the University property i
pass into private hands and the in-1
stitutioti under a mauagementwhich ;
would render it of some practical
service to the public?
All that "Tar Heel" urges is true, j
and his objections are well ground
ed, i'f the University is to remain a
beneficiary of the State, but public
sentiment is so averse to anything
of the kind that its separation from
the free school system of the State
would" be immediately followed by
the sale of the property to individ
ualsthe only proper and practical
disposition of the concern.
So, in this view of the case, the
Era does not agree with its corres
pondent that the amendment ought
to be voted down, but in the hope
of forever removing the University
from the arena of politics, and

Sir An article of yours, which
recently appeared in the Charlotte
(iN. C.) Home, of which you are ed
itor, I find going the rounds of the
newspapers, in which you make an
attack upon the character of the late
General Canby and other deceased
officers of the United States army.
In this editorial you do me the
honor to bitterly denounce me. I
say honor, for I esteem it an honor
for any man who has been loyal to
his country to be blackguarded and
vilified by you. Were I so unfort
unate as to be the recipient of your
commendation I should feel like ex
claiming, as did Socrates, when ap
plauded by a bad man like yourself,
"W hat crime have I committed?" i
1 ou exult over the death of the
brave Canby, assassinated by sav
ages, and attribute his death, with
that of Abraham Lincoln, Kdwin
M. Stanton, Geo. H. Thomas, Pro
fessor Mahan, of West Point, ex
Senator Preston King, of New York,
and the late Senator Lane, of Kan
sas, to a retribution of God, because
in the late civil war they opposed
the effort to destroy the government
of the United States.
You say of General Canby that
while he vas in command at Rich
mond, Va.; he "personally superin
tended the hanging of a white man
up by the thumbs for kicking an
insolent negro." Now this is your
version of Canby's conduct, and the
whole editorial you have written
breathes so fiendish and brutal a
spirit as to make you unworthy of
credit.
Uesides this, General Hill, the
whole life of General Canby gives
the lie to your assertion that he did
anything vulgar, inhuman, or un
becoming a high-toned soldier. 1
am not prepared to deny that with
in Canby's department a white man
was tied up by the thumbs. While
he was commanding at Richmond
a negro, under the constitution of I
the United States as amended,
which Canby was sworn to support,
was entitled to an tne rights and
privileges of other citizens. Asa
West Pointer and an officer of the
United States Army before the war,
you know that to tie a malefactor
up by the thumbs was a common
mode of punishment in the army,
and Canby failed in his duty if he
made distinction between criminals
on account of race or color in meet
ing out the pains and penalties re
quired by good order and military
discipline.
While, as a matter of form and
duty, as Department Commander,
Canby would approve the verdict
oi a military court inflicting just
and necessary punishment 'upon
criminals violating the laws it was
his duty to enforce, he was above
being his own executioner. The
management of the details he. left
to a man of brutal instincts, like
yourself.
Now, General Hid, while you
are falsely accusing General Canby
of brutality, I propose to enlighten
j the public as to your military record,
j While in command in North Caro
lina, during the late war, twenty
six white men were tried on the
charge of being loyal to the United
States. No other offence was alleg
ed against them. They were put
on trial late in the afternoon, and,
by the verdict of a drum-head court
martial acting under your orders all
were hanged until dead before
breakfast the next morning, with
out benefit of clergy. Are you not
a beautiful specimen to assail Canby
on the score of brutality? I can
think of nothingas supremely ridic
ulous unless it would be for you and
your friend Captain Jack to write a
treatise on civilization for distribu
tion among the Kn Klux of North
Carolina. Indeed, if I did not know
that you were in North Carolina I
should infer from the brutality of
your assault on Canby, Thomas and
others that you were in the lava
beds when it was written, and that
the article was the joint production J
of yourself and Captain Jack.
Your assumption that the death;
of the noble George II. Thomas, by :
apoplexy, and the sudden deaths of :
Lincoln and other loyal men are a j
retribution of the Almighty for the
side they took in the late war could
be inspired only by the malignancy
born of disappointed ambition and
the spirit which possessed the devil,
the founder of secession democracy,
of a preference to ruling in hell to
serving in heaven.
I am happy in the belief that
many thousands of the honest
masses in Tennessee, North Caroli
na and elsewhere, who were misled
and coerced into rebellion by just
such men as you, General Hill, now
repudiate your leadership and
loathe your teachings.
If I were disposed to imitate you
I" could give a long list of men in
civil and military life supporting-
the rebellion who have come to

infinitely preferred simply striking

As regards all the amendments,
they are such as the Republican

accept, and it is not likely that any

general interest will result from the
fact that such an election comes of

Since the Congress of the United
States could not be edified by the
presence of. Ben Butler and Andy
Johnson, at one and thesame time,
it is perhaps some compensation
and gratification to the country that
Parson Brownlow and General Hill
have "locked horns."
But what Hill can hope to make
out of Brownlow, or Brownlow out
of Hill, it is difficult to calculate.
They are a well matched pair.
A specimen of Brownlow's "grip"
is found in the publication of a letter
of the latter in this Era. If Hill
will come out of the graveyards,
let the dead alone, and "go for"
the living in genuine Confederate
style, he too shall have a hearing.

Probably not one man in a thousand
would survive the exposure and
hardships to which I was subjected
while driven by rebel cavalry inlo
the mountains and incarcerated in
a rebel prison in Mid-winter. While
I am now in improving health,
with a clear conscience, nearly all
the men wh6 were instrumental in
my imprisonment, and who insult
ed me while in prison, are dead.
Most of them died with delirium

way. I would not parade their

I have noticed that you and others
who have assailed Canby & Thomas
since their death never insinuated a

bury, W. S. McGill was fined $100 I
for contempt, in flogging a colored
man in the Courtroom during the
progress of a trial. He was also
bound over to appear at the term of
last week to answer for the assault.
He appeared and was fined siO. On
Tuesday evening of last week
McGill entered the Court room and
ascending tne bench threatened to
pull Judge McCloud's nose. He
was committed to jail for thirty
days and fi ned i?i0. As the Sheriff
was taking him jailward, McGill
drew a revolver and drove the
Sheriff and deputies back. Then
he mounted his horse and rode home
swearing that he would not be taken
alive. The Winston Jlcpubtican is
very severe on McGill and on Sheriff
Gentry for permitting the prisoner
to escape.
