'The .Era was treating the subject in response to a paragraph in the Charlotte Home, and had no desire to injure the business of a Raleigh merchant or any other (n the State, for It Is doubtless, a .fact that the Messrs. Miller, of Charlotte, or Mr. Allcott. of Raleigh, would -take quite as much ' pleasure in selling a good article 'of home manufacture as they do-, Jn selling tho Milburn wagon. Tho object of this paper was to insist that our people should encourage tho manufacture of their wagons and carts at home. Is either Mr. Allcott nor the Messrs. Miller could have taken the remarks of the Era as an assault upon them, or an effort to break down or buy out" their business. - ': As to the structure and durability of the Milburn wagon, tho Era said nothing in disparagement.

And, since the 'Xews is such a staunch of opponent of " foreign coriorations," how does it make a difference whether such advertise in the Xan or not? Is the Richmond and lanville Railroad as foreign as an Indiana wagon company ? And does not the Richmond and Dan ville Railroad advertise in the Xacsf I-ifc Insurance for the Colored People. Yet awhue very many of our colored people cannot bo expected, in addition to supporting their families and educating their chil dren, to accumnlate any consider able DroDertv. to leave their chil- A A w . dren. . In the present condition of the colored people of North Carolina, Life Insurance offers to them pecu liar advantaires of a provision for their families, presented to them in no other way, and which they can net be too quick in availing them selves of. ! For from twenty-five to fifty cents a week, any colored man In good health and of age ranging from twenty-one to fifty years can keep up a thousand dollars insurance on his life, a saving comparatively slight and trifling, but which, in the event of death, Is most impor tant In its result of good to a family dependant on its head. The Era most seriously . invites the attention of the industrious, working colored people of North Carolina to this matter of insurance, and earnestly urges it upon them as a means of provision the most thoughtful and provident of the future care and protection of their wives and children. The colored laborers of the State are . perhaps more directly In terested in keeping the available money of North Carolina at home than any other class of our popula tion, and to that end the Era directs their attention to the claim home institutions have on them. In the matter of Life Insurance, the North Carolina State Life In surance Company of Raleigh, and the Old North State of Warrenton, have superior claims on the colored people a3 well as on the whites. These Companies keep the money they receive, in circulation at home, and any insurer, offering security, can obtain the loan of money to carry on his operations. Here is another advantage the matter of Life Insurance offers our colored people. Many of. them, carrying oa small farms, or other industrial operations are frequently in want of small sums of money, which may always be readily ob tained from these home institutions by offering adequate security. Of other companies that are par tially home institutions, the Pied mont Life of Virginia is one, and the ' Life Association of America another, both of which are repre sented in 'Raleigh and at all the prominent Doints in the state. Of the strictlv foreicrn companies in our midst, tho Connecticut Mutual is, perhaps, the best, having a larger capital aud insuring at lower rates, because the expense of its operations Is proportionately less than that of any other Insurance company ia the United States. , , t . ,. -.: , ;.

This institution, though one of those inevitable foreign thinjrs the Raleigh Xeics hates so vindictively, unless it be an advertising patron of its own, ha? done more for the Press of tho United States, than all the other causes of its advancement. ..There is, to bo sure, the objec tion of " monopoly,'? but monopoly is one of the leading features of our government, and its very life and preserv ation as found in the history of theprotective tariff, necessary at the beginning for revenue and the stimulation of American Industries. The production of cotton is a Southern monopoly, and one on which our Southern people heartily congratulate themselves ; and free dom from the Southern . cotton worm. Is a "monopoly" in r the sense of Immunity, - which our North Carolina ' planters are de lighted to enjoy. Monopoly - is generally found ne cessary to every new business or in dustry until it has gotten upon its legs, and it has been so of tho New York Associated Press. This association distributes the current news ! of 'the day all over this Union. It is done at a price astonishingly low. when considered In connection .with the usual rates of telegraphing. i i v v Taking Raleighfor example, where there are two .dally papers using the Press dispatches, and the amountqf jiews given, Js, for the price paid, quite remarkable to those whose acquaintance with the telegraph Is by the payment of an average of about ten cents a , word. The two morning papers, of this city each receive daily an average of two 'thousand words, from all points in the United States and the civilized world. -For this extraor dinary service, these? papers pay each twenty dollars per week, less than three dollars a day for two thousand words of tetegraphic mat ter from all points of the earth. Thus make ' the calculation per word. . ' . " ' As the rates of telegraphing are re duced, the Associated 'Press is en abled to increase the quantity of its news without increasing its tolls paid to the Telegraph Companies, and. without exacting additional compensation from the papers, Its patrons. , .' . . , It has been the habit of, some of the papers, patrons of the Associa tion, to abuse the Associated Press .

' A Bravo Man and True. K. A. Shotwell ia till confined in the Albanv penitentiary. He refuse to accept the pardon which has been of fered him by President Grant, because it is coupled with conditions which he recards as reflecting on his honor as a gentleman. lie believes th conditions are degrading, and therefore he elects to suffer on in solitary confinement, in the darkness of the dungeon, rather than regain his liberty at the sacrifice of 8clf-rosDect and of principle. lie prefers physical torture and chains rather than to purchase his freedom with dishonor and ignominy. The circumstances under which Shotwell was convicted and sent to Albany, are familiar to our readers. A young man of education and talent, of high social position, of popular man ners, of handsome person, of generous impulses, he has for over two years been confined in a felon's cell, and sub jected to tho insults and indignities of a condemned culprit. lie was charged with ku kluxing, and was found guilty before Judge Bond's Court. The testi timony of several of the witnesses who testified against him was denounced by Shotwell, In his statement afUr his con viction, as base perjury. That Shot well was a member of the ku klux klan is very probable, but ho deuies many of the acts attributed to him by the men who turned State's vicUnce. and be trayed tbir companion in guilt. Admitting that Sbotwoll wasauUty, many others guiltier than he have es caped punishment entirely, while he has been made an example by the Gov ernment to terrify older evil-doers. If the pound of flesh has not been exacted, tho dark walls of a dungeon have smote with gloom the flower of his young life and wilted the bloom upon his cheek; We never defended the ka klux, but have condemned secret political asso ciation as dangerous to the peace of society and inimical to Republican in stitutions. We do not seek to mitigate the offences which Shotwell may have committed, any farther than those of fences are mitigated by the circum stances of Sbotwell's youth, the condi tion of society at tho time and the gen eral disorder and lawlessness which then reigned throughout the State. But whatever may be Shotwell's guilt, he has borne himself in his incarceration like a true aud brave man, aud in a way which must command the respect of his bitterest enemies. In his refusal to accept the pardon of tho President, oilered to him a few days ago, because that pardon contained de grading conditions, be exhibits a moral courago and devotion to principle which show that he is compounded of stulT of which, heroes are made, and that he is willing to sacrifice comfort, ease and personal liberty than to com m it an act of self-degradation and dis honor. Who had not rather be R. A. Shot- well so eondeuMied, so imprisoned, so manacled in a felon's cell, than to breathe the air of freedom bought with the price of honor, or to revel in luxury and wealth purchased with cowardly submission and apostacy ? Raleigh New. ScpU llth. Shotwell will not accept Grant's par don, because its terms are such, he says, as would compromise his honor as a man and his integrity as a citizen. We presume Grant wants to make a Radical of him.. The brave Shotwell will jiot kiss the rod of persecution nor "bend the supple hinges of the knee that thrift mar follow fawning." This is a of tba aboa. who tia-re Uarterei tliekr con sciences and 'principles for plaoe mud proiLLItaUiffh Xewst Sept. lit. Eight hours after, the above ele gant and patriotic . effusion was read in Raleigh, Captain Shotwell arrived in the city, having been 4 released on the ,29th dav of last month. ... . Mi any man or woman can read the above without arriving'at the conclusion that it Is the production of a fool, then he .must generously attribute it to the mischief of a knave. f- ' j. -a r il .Air. onoiweu was paraonea un conditionally and no one but a fool of the most malignantly ignorant class could have ever made such 'a nonsensical proposition, as' that the President of the United States would tender a man in confinement other than an unconditional pardon. If the Editor of the Ketcs believed that a conditional pardon had been made out he ii a fool ; if otherwise he is a knave. -a nuisance and a mischief-maker. On Friday the 12th instant, the Sentinel appeared with this, article : Cajt. R. A. Shotwelu We had the great pleasure of meeting for a moment this gentleman, true, staunch, resolute. oa yesterday afternoon. lie is now at the Var bo rough House, and duly regis tered from the " Albany Penitentiary.!' lie is looking remarkably welL . Capt. Shotwell was unconditionally pardoned. Every true North Carolinian will re joice in his release. He comes from his prison of more than two years, with an undaunted 'spirit, with u the full con sciousness of never having .done any thing to merit the punishment he re ceived, with a character as bright and spotless as it was before he was victim ized, slandered and prosecuted for vile party ends. ? We are profoundly glad that the tardy act for his release has at last been performed, and that like llae Gregor,'He treads once more his native heath." We join in the cordial welcome that awaits him, and wish him in all sincerity a hearty God's speed. Captain S. was first put to the trade of a shoemaker. He says he could "earn a decent livelihood if he Vould " stick to the las V". Was afterward promoted to the post of librarian to the penitentiary. He is a tall, well-built, erect, handsome man. ? We bade him a aad farewell at Henderson, when, guarJod by soldiers and manacled, he was carried from his native State a felon to a distant peni tentiary. Our heart then rose to our throat as we bade, him good-bye.' On yesterday we felt joy and gladness as we again pressed his hand and ex pressed to him our high gratification at his return to his Stole and friends and kindred. . The professed peculiar friends of Mr. Shotwell seem determined to precipitate upon him unkind criti cism, when, more than any period of his life, he needs the ajlent sym pathy and quiet encouragement of the people of his State of all classes, parties and colore. Randolph ' Shotwell, comes not back to North Carolina a martyr under the laws of his country; . and py a "Jury '"'of, hla"- country, - he was convicted of Offences for which tho law prescribed punishment. He was sentenced to a term . of .years, the half of which he had not served, when the President of the-United States, deeming that" the objects of law had been accomplished, uncon ditionally releases him, and remits a heavy pecuniary fine imposed by the Circuit Court Bench of the United States. ' :i ' ; Mr. Shotwell complains moie of the "insults and indignities of a condemned culprit." lie says the discipline he was under was rigid, but that no indignity was offered him. He went determined to adapt himself to the situation in which he was placed, and conforming his con duct to this resolution ho had no trouble. Seeing this merit of man hood in him, he was early promo ted by the authorities over him to the responsible position of Surgeon's Steward to the Hospital, and after wards to that of Librarian for the Institution. On the day of his re lease, by invitation, he took tea with the Superintendent and fami ly, a family in no respect of style or standing inferior to the best of New York State. This don't look much like "insult and indignity." The subject of such confidence, promo tion and attention, he would have little of manhood in him if he did not return "with an undaunted spirit." .There is nothing in the history of the conviction and punishment of Mr. Shotwell to bow him down or discourage him. The Era is bound to assume what the News does not deny, that he was guilty of an of fence against the laws and that his Dunishment was such as the law. a prescribed. But the young man is not degraded. His offence did not constitute an infamous crime, anl he comes oackto his pjsopie as good as he went, and better, in that he has a good basis of self-discipline upon which to construct a life of usefulness and honor. No man will nqw reproach the young man, whose reproach is to be regarded, if he conducts himself as it is hoped and believed he will. But, on the contrary, if he goes earnestly to work to make the man of himself his address and talents designed he should be, he will have the sympathy, the well-wishes and the encouragement of the Era and all the good men of the Republican party. 4 . Mr. Shotwell has been a victim of the misrepresentation of his friends and of misapprehension on the part of the public since the day he left North Carolina. Thinking it ex ceedingly meritorious, his peculiar friends represented him to have been insubordinate, surly, stubborn and defiant from the first. To make a sensation, they reported that he had offered to canvass North Caro lina for Grant as the price of a par-. don. Mr. Shotwell found it neces sary to deny these reports, of his friends, in a letter, which the read ers of the Era will remember to have seen published in the columns of this paper last fall. And now when Mr. Shotwell is at home, instead of leaving him to quietly enjoy the society of hi3 family , and friends, the leading Democratic papers of the State are seeking to make political merchan dize of his misfortunes, and are un necessarily parading him before tho public as a released convict from the Penitentiary. . i f It is the province of the Era to nphold and defend the administra tion of president Grant. It is an agreeable privilege for this paper to hail his action In releasing Mr. Hhotwell tLfadlhC "Albony prtaoDw with pride and Joy. .It , points to the - circumstance as a prominent example of the 'greatness of the Government, ( and the justice the mercy 'and leniency 6f that great and good man who, standing at tho head of the Nation, stands so proud ly at the head of the Republican party. .' . ; ',; - At a time when the President of the United States is so admirably winding up and putting behind the history of the times the incidents, accidents and circumstances of revo lution growing out of the late war, it is a melancholy Instance of the utter depravity, meanness and cow ardice of a portion of mankind, that base, self-constituted leaders of a public opinion are to be found thus wilfully and maliciously attemptin to stab the government, and through agitation and tho stirrinsrruD of Btnie seexing le aestroy ine peace and kill' the prosperity i oi-.. the country. - 1 Man Scalped.

It strikes us as being an Insidious enemy, ! making inroads Upon the unwary of the Republican party. Shall the press remain silent on an issue which may sap the very vitals of the nation and wrest from the hands of those who have proved true to their flag and country, that power to govern which alone sus tains it. Methinks it ought to be canvassed, and its bearing on the future, destiny of the nation fully exposed. The Democratic party which wrecked the continent from center to circumference, and well nigh destroyed the nation, has made several ineffectual efforts to regain power, and no doubt this is a last rally for the contest of 1876, to re gain' and possibly ruin a prosperous and happy country. Money is pow er among nations a3 well as indi viduals. Therefore we think these Granges are intended to affect and carry the election in 1876. Having failed by reason,' persuasion, intimi dation, the dagger and hemp, they now propose to inaugurate a system that will raise millions of dollars to defeat the Republican party. We have in' North Carolina some 87 counties: Allowing there are 10 townships in each county, and one Grange to the township, (and this is a low estimate,) we will have 870 Granges in North Carolina ; twenty members to the Grange, 17,400 mem bers; five dollars to each member, $87,000; ten cents per month for three years for each member, $62, 640 ; making a grand total of $149, 640, to spend in North Carolina during the, campaign of 1876. We think a better title for this new or ganization would be, Patrons of Democracy. Hob GoBliiJT. A Card from J. B. Mason, Esq. To the Editor of The Era: '. Mr. Editor : In tho Era of tho 28th of August last I see a card from Alexander Mclver, in which he publishes certain proceedings and part of the evidence in a trial in which I was prosecutor and two of his sons, parties defendant. My repeated absenco from home has prevented an earlier notice of it. If I supposed his card was simply intended as a reply to a late letter of President Pool, to which he al ludes, I should have nothing to say. I presume that gentleman is amply able to reply to anything from Mr. Mclver that he might deem worthy his notice. I can hardly believe that this was the chief aim of Mr.- Iver's card, as he confines himself to points of no concern, and care fully escapes the true issue. If it was intended as a defence of his course he is equally nnfortunate. No one cares a fanning wnetner nis son Harmon, the boy who seems to have been put forward as a cat's paw in instances of mischief done about the College was about nine or nine and a half or precisely nine and a quarter. Nor is it a matter of any concern whether they were tried under "warrant" or "bill of indictment." It is amusing to see a man avail himseif of such subter fuges in order to evade the true charge against him, to-wit: that while he is one of three gentlemen in charge of the property, the Dia lectic Library Building being as signed to his care, the Philanthro pic Library Building to Mr. Pool and the University Library Build ing to myself, he sits off and per mits, under his very eyes, his own sons,1 and a son of Mr. Andrew Mickle, a known enemy of Mr. Pool and myself, to go through and upon the top of a building in the special care of Mr.Pjool a Jmild Ine ajid a library that have shared richly In the damages done to the College property.' ; Jf I -had seen the Dialectic Library - Building open, whether, broken in by my own son or any otner, instead or sitting by and allowing it to be en tered by bad boy especially by the sons of those, who were his ene mies common courtesy would have dictated to me a very differ-? ent course. President Pool stated upon' the street that if his sons, with or without their father's con sent, had been found in the build ing with whose care Mr. Mclver was charged, heshould have sought the earliest opportunity for expla nation and apology. , That he would cheerfully pay one hundrec i dollars for each time that any one oi . ins sous heu inus eniereu uie buildings. And it i3 very suspi cious that Mr. aid ver called so lustily to the beys to come out of the. building, when he observed our detective, Sam. Morphis, ap proaching. And it is likewise very suspicious that instead of entering muiseii, ne sits at a uisiance wune 1 , , J.1 TT MickIe go through and upon the before, holding myself and Mr. Fool up to the public through the columns of the Raleigh Sentinel. If Mr.' Pool and myself had chosen act witn as little regard, to fair- ness and courtesy, the-Dialectic Li brary Building, in ,Mr, Mclverg care, might no" doubt have shared the same fate and public notoriety as the others. M - ' f'l From the following certificate it will appear v that Mr. "Mclver claimed authority oyer .all the build ings by virtue of his office as Su perintendent of Public Instruction. If he had such authority, his con sent was equivalent to his author izing the boys to enter: . . , CiiAPEti Hill, Sept. 12, 1873., .'We the undersigned, certify that in the case of - State vs. George Mclver and others in Justice's Court, before S. S. Clayton, J. P., in Orange county, North Carolina, July 12th, 1S73, Alexander Mclver stated that he had authority over the property belonging to the Uni versity, by virtue of his office as Superintendent' of " Public Instruc tion. That it was proven on ' the trial that Harmon Mclver entered the University Library through an upper window, got a key within and unlocked the door and kept the key.' That this key was then in the possession of Alexander Mclver. ' i ; Joxks Watsonv ; ' J. M. Alexander. From the following paper draicn by Mr. Mclver himself, and signed by the Treasurer of the University! it will appear that he really had no such authority as he claimed in the Magistrate's , Court,; to 1 have 'had. When he found his sons ,in a. tight place, he quickly" bethohghthim self of an authority ' which he did otnatuo When he wrote this paper ituuwnicn Bee pas to Tkup and lay down at pleasure:- ; v ; "I.R.'W. La.siter, hereby turn over to James B. Mason the care, protection and possession ' of the University Library; to President Pool the Philanthropic Library and Hall, and to Prof. Mclver the Dia lectic Library and Hall, and to the said three gentlemen oversight, pro tection and control of all the Uni versity property in Orange county. This Nov. 22, 1871, and they have consented to take charge of the same." R. W. Lassiteb, i Treas. and Sec. University. : From the above certificate of Jones Watson and J. M. Alexander, the attorneys for the defence and prosecution, it will be readily ob served that something more, which was material, was elicited on this trial than as was mentioned in the card of Mr. Mclver. John Emer son proved these facts. The key thus procured by Harmon Mclver is found on this trial some weeks after to be in tho possession of his father Alexander Mclver holding it without my knowledge or au thority. It was after this entrance into the Library that I discovered the damage within. Harmon is stricken from the warrant, and the others shielded by the presence and consent of Mr. Mcl ver. .' ; It . was upon this showing of, probable guilt that I had the cost to pay. Mr. Mclver's conduct in refer ence to this whole matter has been simply outrageous. If he had chosen to act from that high sense of honor, which has actuated hi3 colleagues in reference . to the Dia lectic Library Building committed to his care, there would have been less damagej probably very little1 to the property. For him to claim authority over the entire property when his sons are arraigned, by virtue of an office which he holds by a simple technicality, after being j repudiated by the State Conven tions of both political parties, and finally by the Governor who ap pointed him, is ridiculous in the extreme. .
