f$hi (lhatham Record THURSDAY, MAY 20, 18S1 H. A. LONDON. Jr., Editor. THE SEN ATE ADJOHUNEl). The Senate adjourned lat week af ter a most memorable session. By the reKignalionof the two New York Senators the democrats hn 1 a majori ty, so tbey at once fnnMied the busi ness for which tlic President had convened them and which the Re publicans had so long obstructed, and then adjourned. We ore pleased that they refused to confirm the a poimeut of Chandler to the office of Solicitor General, from which Gar field attempted to remove Mr. S. F. Phillips. They confirmed the ap pointment of John Nichols as post master at Raleigh. THE NK(iJU) EXODUS. "We have recently boon shown a printed circular, copies of which ore Replies to " Liberty." Raleigh, N.

I will ask "Liberty" to come to Raleigh and go to the Penilentiary and ask tho con victs what brought them there, and every three out of four will tell him, "liquor." Come and go to the Insane THE REVISED TESTAMENT. On last Friday were published the first copies of tho revised version of the New Testament. For the past ten years the most learned biblical scholars of England and America have been engaged iu revising the New Testament, and their work is just finished. The revisers were men of different creeds and churches, so that their revisal might not bo considered sectarian, but bo accepted by all Christian bodies as tho best revision of the Word of God as expressed in tho New Testament. Many persons have objected to any revision of the Bible, thinking it a tampering with the Word of God, and as being sacii legious, but of course the more en lightoned portion of Bible readers do not so regard it. No now doc tiiue, truths cr principles are taught in the revisal. Tho present version of the Fable, commonly called "King James' version," was prepared more than two hundred and fifty years ago, and as tbat version was rendered ne cessary because of the mutations of tlu-ir white friends, to nuke them dis satisfied with their condition here, and entice them to 1- avo their southern homeu. The circular contains such statements a? the following: ''The t southern ku-klux aud bull-dozers are talking of running Jeff Davis for President in 1881:" kve do not knowf Asyl and you will find one-fourth how wooii another rebellion lOon anoruer re Demon may spring up": "let no rebel stop you in your attempt, to leave the houses of bondage" &c. We hardly believe that Fiu-h statements will have the desired effect of inducing any negroes in this section to leave their old homes, their old acquaintances and friends, and go to a country they know nothing about, and where it is so cold that snow is on tho ground ! .... . . i all the wiutt r.

A year or two ago quite a large of the inmates were brought there through the influence of strong drink. Come and go with me and I will carry jou to some of the poverty stricken homes in this city and show you the evils of the ts affie. The Penitentiary, Insane Asylum and the hundreds of poor people in this and other cities are kept up by tas-pavers and not by the liquor trafiic which is the cause of tho most of it. The death of that poor gil l, " WHOSE DEATH WAS CAUSED uy LiQuon " is a sufficient reason why every grog-shop under tho face ot Heaven should ba forever closed. at issue, is not seen.

The improvement iu issued the circular is a j Any man cf a reasonablft mind is n-ro man who forged a school order j awaro of the fact that "liquor will Jones county, in this State, and ih;n.fc one nJf hc driuka it." ... ' .. , . ; ".Liberty wants to know " who have eaped tae penitentiary by running meu Jiml . . , if ihev drink too much?" I; j away his "liberty." Mr. Editor, no one opposes tin. If a man wants to become drunken, no prohibitionist is disposed to in terfere with him, provided he does it in private and does not mate himself a public nuisance. Society can in such cases take him up and have him locked up for its own protection. But does that justify the liquor-sellers iu the case to which he alludes in dosing a poor young girl with whis key until she died from the effects of it? . This writer actually quotes the Apostle Paul as an authority for making and selling whiskey, says that there was ' as much whiskey made and drunk and sold in his time as there is now, and et he said noth ing against it." This is iu the spirit of the Balti more liquor sellers, who are flood ing the State with pamphlets to sus tain their siukiug cause and who rep resent Prohibition, a cause earnest ly supported by nineteen-tweutieths of all that is moral and virtuous and good in the State, as " Fanaticism " and are greatly distressed, tb(so in solent foreigners, at the prospect of the State "perpetrating a great moral wrong." It is needless to say that the pro cess of distilling whiskey and brandy was discovered more than one thous and yetus after tho timo of St. P:iui. He says that the ' liquor selh-r makes but little. Some of them tho English language since the time the this community strikes every one. When we hiid grog shops in this village there was hardly a day or night when we did not see drunken men reeling on the streets or often lying down encumbering the side-walks. Affrays and rows were of ordinary occur rence. Nights were made hideous with quarreling and profanity and the howls of bacchanalian revelry to tho annoyance of everybody. I am informed that during Christmas of 1878 there were about twenty-two arrests in thi3 village of drunken dis orderly men, and this number might have been doubled. Now we seldom see anything of this. It is very sel dom we see any one under the in fluence of liquor. All is changed. Now will any one say that the vo ters of this (Centre) Township, in votitg the grog-shops out "perpetra ted a great moral wrongj" or that they .were "fanatics," or that they had sacrificed "their liberty ?" The pa triots of the lievolution it is true "did" fight for liberty, that is to say they fought for popular government, for a government in which the ma jority should rule. The Prohibi tionionists propose acting on the great principle of Democracy, that a majority should govern, propose to test this question at the nent August election. Mr. Kditor permit me to ask a few plain questions: I trust that every one who may happen to read this ar ticle will be frank with his own con science: 1st.

It sally conceded tha Carolina has done as much as W. W. Holden towards giving political pow er to, aud protecting the rights of the negro: no man by so doing has in curred such odium and excited such bitterness against himself among his political opponents: aud no man has been so popular and influential hi his party. Ten years ago he was con sidered by the negroes as a martyr who had suffered persecution for his attempts to protect them from the ku-klux, and as such martyr he was idolized by them. It wa3 because of his zeal and devotion to them, (as they alleged) that he was impeached, removed from the high office cf Gov ernor, and forever banned from hold ing any office within their gift. And now behold then- ingratitude ! Tho baseness and the sting of this ingrati tude is more apparent when it is ex pressed in a resolution of thanks to such a venal, corrupt and unprinci pled political trickster as Jim Harris, "who wished to remove Holden in or der to get tho office for himself. This action of tho negro politicians must painfully remind Mr. Holden of the old fable of tho farmer who was stung by tho iper that ho had warmed to life in his bosom. The mutations in the political life of ex-Gov. Holden forcibly illustrate the fickleness of popular favor and the ingratitude of parties, and now in his old age, when removed from his offlco of postmas ter by the paity that he has served so zealously, and at tho instigation of the race for whom he has suffered 80 much, he can feelingly exclaim : " Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatneaa !

And lastly "Liberty" dares any body to deny his statement, that " everywhere where they have tried Prohibition it has dono no good, I di Dy it, and say it is a positive mis take, for it has never been tried any Times as using this language : He said " he had recently held court in two adjoining eastern countiee, each of large population and otherwise similar, except in one respect that the one (Northampton) had a coun ty prohibition law, the other (Hali fax) had not. .Iu Northampton he found eight cases only on the docket which ho cleared the first dav.

And now " Liberty " I will say that the liquor traffic is the greatest curse that has ever affiicted the hu man family, and it is your duty as a good citizen, one who is in favor of liberty, to go to the polls next Au gust and vote Prohibition. It will promote the peace, happiness and prosperity of all men, women and children in the old Nor th State. Anon. PROHIBITION. PirTSBoao, Mey 23, 1881. Editor Record : In your last issue I noticed an article signed " Liber ty" against Prohibition. The writer says he is a Libertine, has alwavs been a Libertine and expects to be a Libertine until he diee. ' So it would seem that he has rather a poor pros pect ahead. He is a very proper ad vocate for the rum-seller, however. Together they are in life, and in death will not be divided. He says "liquor nurls no man unless rivJr,t, n. i Wonderful discovery! Dogs bark, ca.s eat mice. No one denies this, and yet the bearing of either of the tureu propositions on tho question some and leaving a murder case on the docket." But let us come nearer heme. Our worthy and talented Solicitor of the Inferior Court remarked to me yes terday, that he was batisfied that nine-tenths of all the cases he had ever had in his court, originated in liquor. For two years we havo had prohibition in this (Centre) Town ship, to-wit: Irom June 1879 to this time. No one can legally sell liuuor in this Township. For the same time I believe they have had prohibition in several other townships of this county. The law has not been strictiy enforced, owing to the fact that liquor has been brought in from the surrounding country where there was no prohibition.

Office op the State Prohieitoky State Campaign Committee, Raleigh, N. C, May 21, 1881. To the people of North Carolina: The counties, townships and school districts should bo organized at once by the appointment of tLe necessary executive committees. Nines of chairmen should be sent this committee. Attention of friends is called to the resolutions passed by the Stato convention iu reference to organizing the bodies and raising contributions for necessary cam paign purposes. The campaign should be a syste tematic one, and therefore the friends iu the various counties will consult this commiites before making ap pointments for those who canvass the State at large. Iu each county the friends should make arrangements for a thorough canvass by local speakers. We need : 1. Thorough county, township and school district organization. 2. The organization ot the ladies into "prohibitory societies" to last at least until after the election. 3. Funds to procure temperance documents aud defray other neces sary and legitimate expenses. 4. System in the appointment of speakers who canvass the State. 5. A bysteni in each county by which the entire county will be thoroughly canvassed. A special appeal is made to the friends of the movement to see that the above is carried out. H. A. Gudger, Chairman. STANDARD FERTILIZER. F. IL W CAMERON. Presided . E. ANIIKKSON. Vice Pres. THEO.
