"I am too hard worked jto write just now

ting writers like "Laborer" to turn The
Register out bf the beaten path of party
politics, and strive io reach the real wants of
our. people, and,you will find a strong move
ment in the direction of National organ
ization, based on the President's Policy
and if it is not all Republican, it will cer
tainiy not be Democratic. ; In fact, I think
and feel that the "Policy"; will let out the

"My advice is: Take your position ; stand
firm ; and lay all your, plans for a breaking
up of the old ideas and the party ruts in
which everything has so long run."
We think the suggestions tf the writer
eminently wise and proper. The Register
has been run upon the idea that the two
political parties ' are undergoing a great
change, both as to principles and as to
leaders. We doubt if the present names
will be dropped, but both parties in the
campaign oiibau.in be led Dy new men
and upon new issues. The platforms of the
last campaign were substantially the same :
th e Democrats harped upon fraud and cor
ruption and the Republicans, waved the
bloody shirt with the swiftness of a cyclone.
It will not be. possible to make such a cam
paign in 1880. It is to be,;hoped that there
will be no violence in the South so that the
bloody shirt will remain furled forever;
that the present administration will be free
from peculation, fraud and corruption, so
that the " stock in trade" of the Democrats
will not be replenished for the next Presi

the contest of last year have been laid away
forever; perforce political parties must and
will exist so long as our present form of free
government is maintained ; naturally then
and as a matter of course,5 new issues must
spring up in theiear future upon which the
people will divi3f " without regard to race,
color or previous condition of servitude."
Some of these issues are now fairly outlined,
such as appropriations for works of internal
improvement by the National government ;
the modification or abolition of the present
system of internal revenue; compulsory
education supported, controlled and enforced
by the National government. - Other issues
will be local and only j affect particular

in order that they may be speedily known

DEMAND FOR EDUCATION.
To The Editor of The Register :
biR : As you have room in your valuable
paper 1 desire to say a few words in regard

VJ?
tionally, materially, and moral! v
The call, I think, is very wise, and imDor-
tant one, most especially when it is to rep
resent and acknow lege goojd principles.
The thing which ws, the colored people,
now need, is education. According to gen
eral opinion, education is a subject, we
should have pleasure in, and think upon ;
without it, language; is not what it should
be : a remark in which there is great truth,
and to which there can be no objection.
To the mechanic and working man, edu
cation comes as a co-laborer to aid him in
the acquisition of knowledge, a3 the steam
engine aids him with speed and power, in
the accomplishment of ends to which
mus-
cular power is utterly, inadequate.
The incidental advantages J desired from
education are numerous. It comes to lend
"s aid aPdtin to the young and vig-
1
perty of all j shall they not have it ?
To the trustees and controllers, to one and
to all, we say, shall they not have" it ?

with confidence for aid in this great work of
memal elevatlon. Education is an inven-
tion second to none that has ever bi ased and
gladdened the hearts of men. Aid us, then
with your powerful pens, and with your in
fluence. In short, gentlemen, establish it as

surprise was expressed that the Prelde
should choose the Southern RenW
tative in that body from the ranks f t

posed that the President would choise
one of his advisers some gentleman icpi-
senting the Republican party in this sectif
of the Union. As matters have turned oi
however, it was best perhaps that thechoi
of the President fell upon a member of te
opposite party. In fact, it is now admitti
that the interests of peace and reconciliatik

But while the President deserves nrab
for thus sacrificing his individual viewsii

thiDg is due to that large class who h
the face of vituperation, abuse, slandr,
threats and ostracism, stood up manfully )r
the Republican party in the late contst,
and by -whoso votes tne continued suctes
of the Republican party was obtained.
There is now a vacancy on the Supreie
Cburt bench. Several names have been su-
gested to the President through tb
press and otherwise as fit persons to fill th
position, but strange to say, they have bee,
suggested by Democrats and selected fror
the Democratic ranks. Now, in all fairness
this appointment should, be; made frorj
the ranks of the Southern Republican;
It would be a fitting tribute, to ths
much abused and long neglected clas
It is to be hoped that the President will tab
this view of the matter, and in presentiij
the claims of North Carolina it is not sayig
too much to assert, that Hon. Samuel
Phillips would grace the Supreme Cout
bench as well as any man North or South f

ONE SENSIBLE ARTICLE.
To the Editor of The Register :
feiR : i our correspondent "Laborer" has
hit the true idea : capital, not labor, is need
ed South.
It is amazing to see how m
uch falsehood
and error ran h n.,t forth hv ramnnra;n .
writers by way of stating half truths. The ;
bouth, with all of her richand rare pro
ducts, and all the blessings Of Democratic
rule, continues to languish. The politicians
see this, and they make desperate efforts to
remedy the evil. Here in staid old North
Carolina, Gov. Vance, Col. Polk, and oth
ers, are flooding the whole land (and many
rivers) with their punny efforts, to stir up
the masses and bring about a change. There
is no end to the talk and some of it good
small talk, about Immigration, Normal
Schools, the Fish supply &c. : but not one of
these admirable gentlemen has the least con
ception of the source of our present troubles.
As "Laborer" well says, the immigration of
more labor into this Stale whether skilled
or common would utterly ruin those al
ready here our half starved field hands and
the crowd; d mechanics of the tow n What
we do want is capital men of means and of
enterprise to take hold of our vast resources,
surplus land, rich oreSf water-powers, and
existing Fisheries, and improve and develope
them. In this way increase the demand for
labor and thus raise its wages ; raise the
price of land, and thus strengthen confidence
and credit ; create a market for farm pro
ducts and thus encourage Agriculture. A
few hundred thousandi dollars thus brought
amongst us and , scattered over the State,
would do more than all, of the. patriotic
pamphlets and gushing- reports of my good
friend Superintendent Polk, "to benefit the
farmers."
Why capital does not come amoDgst us, is
an ugly question and I do not propose its
solution at present. I hope to do so in some
fnture articles. I will merely add that the
State debt and the late usury law, only fur
nish half of the truttu In 1866 our Demo
cratic friends thought the State could carry
over Thirty Millions (including the Confed
erate War Bands ;) and money can be made
to pay 10 and 20 per. cent in Fisheries, and
Farming. But still it wont come. I ask
WHY NOT ?
Mecklenburg county, Sept. 27, 1877.
Cherokee Superior Court. This court
was opened on Monday the 17th nst, and
continued until in the night on Saturday
the 22nd in3t. Hon D. M. Furches presiding,
there was but little business done on the
Civil Docket, the court being . principally
engaged with the misdemeanor docket, and
the capital case of Shelton. Our readers
will remember, that Shelton was committed
to jail last May for killing his brother
Thomas Shelton. The trial commenced
Friday morning, and given to the jury late
Saturday evening. The theory of the de
fence was that the killing was accidental.
The jury after deliberation about one hour
returned a verdict of not guilty.- Cherokee

"Indeed! a setter? The tax on setters is
two dollars. I'll collect it now while I have
it on my mind."
I settled the obligation, and the next day
Slingsby came around again. He opened
the conversation with the remark:
'Billy Jones told me at, the grocery store
that'your terrier had pups."
"Yes.",
"A large litter?",
"Four."
"Indeed i Less see ; tax is $2 ; four times
two is eight yes, $8 tax, please. And hur
ry up, too, if you can, for they have a new
batch of kittens over at Baldwin's and I
want to ketch old Baldwin before he goes
out. By the way, when did you put that
weather-cock on your new stable?"
"Yesterday."1
"You don't say! Well, hold on, then.
Four tinnes two is eight, and four on the
weathercock is twelve. Twelve dollars is
the amount." :
"What do you mean by $4 on trie weath
ercock ? I . never heard of such a thing."
"Didn't hey? Why, she comes in under
the head of scientific apparatus. She's put
up there to teli which way the wind blows,
ain't she ? Well that is scientific intelli
gence, and' the apparatus is liable to a tax."
"Mr. Slingsby, this is the most absurb
thing I ever heard of.v You might just as
well talk of taxing Butterwick's twins."
"Butter- . You don't mean to say that
Butterwick has twins? Why, certainly
the are taxable They come under the
head of poll tax." Three dollars apiece.
I'll go right down there. Giad you men
tioned it."
They paid him, and he left with Butter
wick's twins on his . old memorandum book.
A day or two afterwards Slingsby called
to see me, and he said :
"I've got a case that bothers me like
thunder. You know Hough, the tobacco
nist? Well, he's just bought a wooden In
dian to stand in front of his store. Now, I
have a strong feeling that I ought to tax
that figure, but I don't know where to place

put upthat Indian under "graven images,'
oniy it un't mentioned either. I supposed
I could Ux the boundle of wooden cigars in
his hand n tobacco, but that leaves out the
rest of the figure ; and he's not liable to poll
tax, because he can't even vote. Now, how
would it strike if I levied on him asan"emi
grant c lie was made somewhere else
than here, and he came here from there; con
sequentiy He's an immigrant. That's my
view. What do you think of it ?"
I advised him to try it upon tbat plan,
and the next morning Slingsby and Mr.
Hough had a fight on the pavement in front
of the Indian because Mr. Slingsby tried to
seize the immigrant for unpaid taxes.

Gtviko AnvicE Advice is a first-rate
thing when the person giving it knows
what he or she is talking about. But there
are volumes of advice and counsel which
are utterly useless, because it is simply the
result of an uncontrollable desire to say
something what makes ho difference. Ad
vice, to be worth anything, needs to be
matured in the mind before it is uttered.
It is altogether better, however, as a rule, to
attend to your own business and let other
people's alone, unless you are invited to in

tims of the advice given. All men and wo
men in the world think themselves called

pact' mass of prejudices knd in illaying a
6t conflicting passions. The effects'
M his policy: are now being assured. He
has tbia week begun a journey; through
tte Southern States, which is intended to
i&ow that thework of pacification is not
far from completion. The Federal Gov
ernment has no intention of interf ering in
the "local administration of the Southern
States.
; "The Southern States have no desire to
disturb the achievements of the ci vil war
which have been embodied in the consti
tu&onal amendments. The removal of
the objects of contention make it easy to
restablish friendly relations between peo
ple who respect each other, and the sym
pathy meeting of the President and Gov.
Hampton, is an omen of the coming
time: when the 'North and the South will
no longer be separated by the lines of di
vision which the civil war had traced.'
Prosperous Condition of the South.
Gen. A. C. Jones whef has just returned
from an extended tour through the South
ern States under the auspices of the De
partment of Agriculture, represents that
everything throughout the South has the
appearance of growing prosperity; that
cities are . reviving their former trade ;
that the country is rich in diversified
corps; plantations and farms have the
look of thrift ; people have more heart
and hope than at any time since the war,
and the colored population is at work with
good wages, cunt,i:ed i.hd happy. Lou

The City of Raleigh. It seems, from
The lialeigh News, that .Raleigh's munici

five are defaulters or in arrears. We
hope The Neics will push its investiga
tions until the whole matter is fully ex
posed. Under Radical rule we expected
to be plundered, but Raleigh has a Demo

they should have been either more hon
est or more vigilant. Indeed, unsophis

Raleigh under the Holden and Caldwell
administrations, the transactions of the
