CAPIXAX .Atf-D ZUBOR. -1 They' told of actual occurrences fa North Carolina,' Mr.WrL80Ns' two' stones' about " Hard Times latelrepublished jn the Rbgibtbb. nd'j'now going .therouads.. They will suggest their own moral to readers, a f they irtay 1 tfo, ' and! have done, many a test for editorial comment. ()Qne ' is taken to-day as t has been hitherto, for such, remarks Let us look abroad over this State, and see t&e lands and. houses, the -towns and, Tillage? the railroada,' the 'manufacturing establishments in fine, the property of the people of the 8tate of all conditions and classes ;Jand this is . what is called 'capital And: then behold all the people who labor, for a Kvins whether white or black,' male or female, old or young; and this is ' what is called labor. TheTiambcr of property holders is small j the number oflaborers is large .This has always been the case in th world, and this will always be so. It is i part of the inevitable.' ' And yet in one sense all aire laborers, save the drones; and even the, drones labor very hard to escape useful employment, and at the same time td" keep body and soul together. Thecap italistj whether he has inherited or has ac cumulated bis wealth, labors to increase it or preserve it;. the man . without capital aspires to its possession,1 and labors to that end; the poor man or woman who barely subsists, labors and looks lorwara to toe period when he or she will have more than a living, and will sit down in the shade and rest But that shade is never reached, that rest is never enjoyed, for the human mind is never satisfied ; the wealth gained to-day becomes an incentive to the wealth to1 be .amassed to-morrow, and thus the poor man of one year labors into the wealth which crowns him in the next, and pro ceeds indefinitely to preserve or increase that which he has already gained. Society should be one that is, a unit. The body politic, composed of all the mem bers, should be in harmony. The head OUVUIU III W Wi TV VU U, tVVKj UVra UW V- with the head. Any one member, no matter how small, is as important in its place as the larger members. So capital and labor should depend on each other. There should be between them a harmonious mutuality. Take" for example, the fanner and his ten ants and employes. Whatever may be the nature of the laws' that govern these two classes in their relations one to the other, the harmony and prosperity of these classes must depend mainly on themselves. We shall not attempt here to suggest the details of such contracts and arrangements as should subsist between these or other classes of employers and employes: but we may say that reason and justice should preside , in these -contracts and arrange ments, and that the utmost good faith should be observed by both sides in main taining them. And these remarks apply generally to labor and capital. The em ployer, in whatever department of indus try,': should, next to his- own immediate family, feel and manifest an interest in the , condition and interests of his em ployes ;and on the other hand, the em ploye should labor to please his friend, the enrolover. and shonld serve him as hp Bhmi.i wrr wo with rrta Toor nrr mo tmt would bis served himself, were the cir cumstances in which the two find them selves reversed. This is a rigid rule, and difficult to be observed: but if the employe have an hon est purpose to do this, he will come as near this rule as he can, and will not fail to give satisfaction to his employer. It has been in this way, and1 in this way only, that so many thousands of employes, nay, millions of employes in every department "J J MAAtmAj UKUIK1TU 1UUU pensable to their employers, and have thus slowly but surely risen to competence or fame. It is thus that the laborer of one decade becomes the capitalist of the next, for the wheel of fortune unceasingly re volves, p depressing thousands to-day and elevating thousands to-morrow. No man knows how to govern until he has himself learned to obey. The great and the weal thy throughout the whole world, for the mo8tpart of one period in their lives poor and obscure, were obliged to learn and to conform to this rule. Employes or laborers like those we are describing are not prone to form or join associations or societies whose object is to assail capital. They are not found in the ranks of so-called Com munists They never seek, by riot and bloodshed, to right their wrongs whether real or imaginary. And the same remark will apply to the great body of our colored laborers. Not one colored laborer in a thousand has found that he has been bene fited by involving himself in angry con troversies with his employer, even when that employer, being thoughtless, selfish or unjust, has treated him badly. The law, which exists to set right that which is wrong, "and to punish crime, should be ap pealed to as seldom as possible between the laborer and his employer. It is better to bear a little loss than to add to it a greater one. It is better to suffer one wrong, and then endeavor to escape future wrong, than to fall into the hands of the courts, and thus incur heavy costs. Let the colored laborer work faithfully for his employer; let him comply fully with his part of the contract, and let him regard his employer as Mb friend, as in nine cases out of ten he really is, and he will have little or nothing to complain of at the year's end. And, on the other han, it is to be re membered that no, character can be more injurious to the common weal, Or more to be detested by good men, than the unjust, over-reaching, hard-hearted, and cruel cap italist or employer. Such a man k not only a practical enemy to labor, but he is a blight on capital itself. The law may not reach him ; he may have means to evade or pervert it; but theeye of society', in cluding his brother capitalists ts upon him, andhe usually, even in this world, reaps .the fruits of his own mean, avaricious con duct. "Behold the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which "of you kept back by fraud, crieth; and C"f8 them which have reaped have enured into the ear. of the LobbM Sab- Fr INWiin. i ... ' ' in u for uT ""T UJM ours are instituted -the protectionVof alLThere sEoukl be no class legislation, and no class distinctions, so far as the law is concerned. Capital and labor should be as free as pos sible. Money and industry should go hand in hand. Public men who seem dis posed to array capital against labor, or la bor against capital, should not be encour aged, for the interests of both are the in terests of the whole community. A NEWSPAPER HOBBY. The "independence" craze still run" its course;: and the people who "talk'oiit in ,ipjcetinVa! receiving much newspa per prako. That is to say, those who r. .r a ,., :. . " " f their minds- and those who do not con tinuaily find f fauy ,are,j aupposet? Jmj afraid to speak their minds, i It does hot seem to occur to our independent friends that there can be any honest Viytoif tlftnli ing that, js 'not their ..way,;.iat, one .may be as baneit in the opinion that State of ficer or Legislator' Johk' Josks) sayj'-ls not a thief, ' or ' bribed ' by 'ti Vailroadi or bought with an office, as , they, are in the opinion jhat Jones U a thief, or bribed, or bought; that in so thinking 'And so sayings they discredit all the1 virtue up-' posed to be lodged in the much-praised "independence.!' , r st J The 'Register has its ewn notions of what k real independence, and these1 do not lead into indiscriminate' fault-findW or fault-finding pf any sort, until jt knows there is reason to find fault-, It U popular to find fault, but that does not make it right. A newspaper should "never say what its editor does not think, but it is not necessary that it should say all that its editor thinks that he thinks before he has had time to think. His thought once as certained speak it freely. But to ascertain what he thinks, knowledge of the facts in any case is necessary and easily gained: To print these ordinarily requires less space than to print the opinions; and printed,' readers also an make 'up their' opinions intelligently, and no harm is done whatever error may be in the editorial construction of thefacts made public. It is the part, neither of good principles nor of good policy to quarrel with the action of the Democratic party on every occasion when it may differ from our own opinions as to men or as to measures. The judg ment of a great party organization as to either isnecessarily more to be relied upon than the judgment of one man. Sections and individuals must sometimes sacrifice their feelings for the good of the whole, and in a moment of disappointment to some cherished local or individual , hope it is neither prudent, riCfproper, nor right to put on record as facts what are really mere ebullitions of feeling, but which strike so deeply into the public mind that years may not root them out. A little thinking, call it independent thinking, $r any other sort of thinking, so it is thinking, it seems to the. Regtstkb would suffice . to convince ,the brethren that it wil be much better policy to ascer tain and print facts this year along with our criticisms, than to indulge in loose statements and harsh criticisms this year and print the facts next year. The sticks we put into his hands the enemy will sure ly break over our heads, and possibly too late it may occur to us that before making an exhibition of independence it would have been as well to ascertain if there was any occasion for it.

Tbc East Carolina Episcopalians. Church Messenger J All will remember how vigorously the opposere of the creation of. . this diocese contended that the church in the State of North Carolina was unable, to bear the burden pf two diocesan organizations. It was easily,, demonstrated that the church had maintained two , Bishops for , years, and that it could, certainly bear the small additional burden of the Convention, ex penses necessary . for another . diocese. It was then replied that, although able to do this, it would certainly be at the- expense of the contributors to Diocesan Missions. And indeed serious fears were entertained, by, manufriepdsj,of division, that, for a while there might, be difficulty in meeting iuc ueiuauua luc uua wuri 40 toe new aio cese, jsince seyeral, counties which, 'would most naturally have gone to East Carolina were retained in the old diocese. It is therefore with peculiar , pleasure tha . we observe inDr.j DeRosseta report that tbfl amount credited to that fund ia$l,293.7.U i nis inciuaes a smaii amount collected be fore the. beginning of the year, and a bal ance received in settlement from the Treas urer of the Diocese of North Carolina. But it appears that the sum of 4 1,1 34, 97 was received in offerings from the Diocese of East Carolina during the year , ending Aiarcn aist, iobo. it is wortn, wtule to mention that the' same parishes . and con gregations gave to this same fund during the year ending Mareh 31st, 1883 -the last year of, the undivided diocese only $686.27.' There is a balance in the Mis sionary Treasury pf East Carolina of $557.96, with which to begin the new year. The showing made in ; the Treasurer's account with the Episcopal and Contin- igent Fund k equally satisfactory. At the ''Mof the year there k a balance on hand oJU747.87 to be carried to the account of the Episcopal Endowment Fund. The in come reported this year fiom the Endow ment Fund covers about sixteen months, and so is one-third larger than it will be ordinarily. But the amount received from the parishes is $1,792.75, which, ad ded to the regular income, from the en dowment, will make upwards bf $3,000 per anum sufficient to cover ordinary expenses. . , THE BAPTIST MISSIONS. In Foreign Lands. The report to the Southern Convention shows that fifteen new missionaries have been sent' out 3 tiring the year and many others are applying to be sent. More work than ever has been done and funds have been hard to get. The Treasury has re ceived $81,289.59 available funds, and has. expended $80,184.98. The balance in the Treasury is due to the fact that reT trenchment had to be made in building because of lack of sufficient funds. On all fields of the Convention. there are 107 missionaries,' 1,323 membersj.and 203 add ed during the year. '':','..; Tne Home mission Work. During the closing year the work has leon much increased in the numbers of men employed and results effected. There have been 185 missionaries, 4,664 addi tions, 164,987 miles traveled; 17,089 ser mons and addresses.' There have been re ceived $71,431.68, and expended all of it arid $300 besides; but this last k provided for. - .'

No man could "put sway ma wiie save tor rornication," and the man who married When divorced for other causes was no better than a Mormon in Utah.

There was complaint about the character of a rather important minor ap pointment made in one of the departments it is not necessary , to say which a few days ago. It turned out, on inquiry, tha the appointment had been made on the recommendation of a number of persons of enure respectability and of deserved lntlu ence with the head of the department whose signatures certainly ought to have been a guarantee that the man they recotu mended was exceptionally well suited for the place. Further inquiry of several of these persons drew out the confession that they did not know the man at all whom they had -recommended ; that they signed because another man they knew brought tneni tne paper; that they thought no more of it afterwards, and " really were surprised, you know; it wasn't nice, of course, but what's a fellow to do Again, here k a case which has already attracted public attention.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Its Progress not so Slow after all. fHerald Washington Letter. The Complaint which is still sometimes heard from office-seekers, that the Admin istration "goes too slow." means, evident ly, only that it is not Duttinc the imim. biers into office. In point of fact? the fig ures below show that the Administration has gone along, in the' matter of appoint- iuculs, hi a surDnsineriv ran id rr. me Cabinet was confirmed on the 6th - . ij ml M of March.

The work of sitine out unfaithful, in competent and improper men, and replac ing them with better, will, of course, grow easier as tie heads of departments and bu reaus have time to more thoroughly mas ter the details of their work. Thus it is very probable that the number of changes will be greater in the next two months than in the last' two.

I left Raleigh on. Wednesday evening, and after a pleasant ride of wenty "hours found my self in the justly celebrated city of Jack sonville, Fla. If the hero of New Orleans could, like Rip Van Winkle, awake from his long slumbers and see this peerless metropolitan city, named in honor of hita, he would never wish to return to his spir itual abiding place, even if it were in "that land that is fairer than day." Pass ing up Laura street I was forcibly re minded of David Dickson's description of "The New Jerusalem : " "Thy gardens and thy goodly walks Continually are green, Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers . As nowhere else are seen." The sweet and the wild (or sour) orange which fringed the margin of many walks seemed to be vieing with each other for the supremacy the one for the palate, the other for the eye. The air was redolent with the matchless odor of the orange blossom, while the beautiful yards and parks wore their robes of living green. "Oh! why should (not) the spirit of mor tal be proud" to live in such a delightful country! Our stay in Jacksonville only extended over a period of two hours and a half and we were on board the fine seaworthy steamer in the St. John's Merchants Line bound for Astor on the most wonderful river it has ever been my privilege to see, the St. John's. The water at Jacksonville and for several miles up the St. John's river in brackish. It is only an arm of the sea. It seems to be a union of lakes, forming a river in some places three or four and five miles wide, while in other places two large steamers can scarcely pass each other. The stately pines, the beau tiful live oaks, the bushy-headed cabbage palmettos and the wild magnolia consti tute the adornment of the wild and pic turesque banks of this mighty river. The pale, olive-colored moss floats ou the wild breeze from these "monarchs of the vale" sometimes ten feet or more, and has such a wild, "grand, gloomj' and peculiar" ap pearance that one can scarcely believe they are in our beloved America. I shall never forget the grandest sight that ever charmed my eyes the setting of the sun as viewed from the hurricane deck of the steamer the beautiful sky without a cloud bidding uer uiuruai luminary aqieu. The sun seemed to shine with more resplendent beauty than I ever saw it, and long after it had dipped down right in the middle of the great Lake George she sent up rays of ligut in nonor oi ner departing glory We arrived at Astor long before that prince of perfect gentlemen, Capt. Tucker, 1 A L" a - 1 f r . . uu ma train reauy ior .usiis, where we landed at 10i30, and found Uncle, Dr. Wil liamson, with a buggy awaiting my arri vai. naistis, on a beautiful clear water lake by the same name, has a population oi someimng over one thousand inhabi tants. It has a bank, doing a splendid business I learned. Col. McDonald, one of our nearest neighbors, and a man of wealth and push, k one of the largest own era of its stock. A University will be opened in the fall, with Prof. Marsh, of Oxford, Ohio, as President. There are three fine churches here Episcopal, Pres- uyienan anu luetnoaist and three colored churches; three large, iron-sided, stores; three jobbing and retail stores, and half a dozen or more smaller business houses; three hotels and a dozen boarding houses ; six physicians and about as many lawyers. The place is so healthy the doctors get little to do, and the people are so honest the lawyers get nothing to do. The ther mometer has marked almost every day since my arrival a temperature totally unknown in Raleigh in May, and seldom in July from 85 to 90, and yet it is not only pleasant, but delightful in the shade, owing to a brisk wind in the morning from the Atlantic Ocean, and a delightful humid breeze from the Gulf of Mexico in the afternoon, andf often all night or until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. After resting a day or two we took a drive around in the neighborhood to see some Orange groves, and if I had never been guilty of the sin of covetousness be fore, I now plead guilty. We drove bv the gem of Eustis, Dr. Brown's grove, form erly owned by Col. Taylor. It k situated just west of the splendid home of the "King of the Orange," Col. Norton, and opposite the finest young grove we saw, owned by the Chesterfield of the lake re gion, Commodore Francis. We next vis- uea tne tamous bchultz grove lying just between East Crooked Lake and Lake Gertrude. This grove is acknowledged to be the finest of its size in Orange county, and as fine fruit as ever made glad the palate of the Gods. It has ten acres in old and new orange trees, and sixty acres in rich pine land. I learn that it can be purchased at the very , low price of twelve thousand dollars. We next call on the Rev. Mr. Board who had his conventional Prince Albert buttoned around him, notwith standing the thermometer was reaching up trying to grasp the 100 degree mark. Af ter a pleasant tete k tete of a few moments, we drove over to the finest grove in Orange county, .the celebrated Bates Tru fant grove, now owned by Mr. A. D. Wright. This grove contains everv varietv of the choicest frmts of the citrus family, and 1,000 trees are literally groaning be neath the weight of thk luscious fruit. Mr. W right expectto gather from 2000 to 3000 boxes of oranges the coming fall and winter When we reflect that this is in the centre of the orange belt, and is rich, high and choice land, with steam-boats and rail roads at the door, the lands and groves are cheap. It is more delightful here than any place I ever saw at such a high tem perature, and Very healthy. Water here is very good : wells and cisterns are eenerallv used, the cistern with filterer being pref- eraoie. Dweet potatoes, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, cabbage, ecsr nlant. tnrninn water and musk melons, &c, grow here to perfection. It k one of the best, if not the best, places in the South, for raising chickens, turkeys and other domestic fowls, as well as Sea Island cotton, &c. - Ebtblla W. ' . Why He Stepped His Cnnren Paper.

Mr. Gladstone announced it to the House of Commons on Monday in terras so ambiguous that Sir Stafford North cote immediately asked what was the pre cisepoint to be referred to the arbitrator. There was no answer from Mr. Glad stone. The auswer now arrives from St. Peters burg. Russia evidently thinks that it is for her interest to make known the etrtk of settlement, which Mr. Gladstone thought it. for Ins interest to conceal asTlong.a& possible. The Czar calmly announces that General Komaroff acted in entire accord ance with his instructions, and that he was not forbidden to advauce, but onlv loiumuen.io .occupy fenjdeh. , Russia, luertorc, uiK,ca upon , herself the entire responsibility for General KouiaroffY act ion, but since the British Cabinet thinks that the Russian Cabinet ought according to the agreement to have ordered General Komaroff fo abstain from all .attack, Rus sia is wiuing to suDtni the interpretation oi tne agreement to au arbitrator.

The stories afloat to day ol a hitch in the negotiations with Russia and of the possibility of a rupture scarcely stir the public pulse. The people wno Kept noping against hope for so many long and anxious weeks that Mr. Glad stone would at last decide to fight, tried to oeiieve tnat at some point in the humiliat ing retreat he would make a stand, and poor Mr. Punch, in his effort to portray eaca weeK a ministerial state of mind, whose shifUngs would tax the versatility of a daily with four editions, appeared only last Wednesday with a cartoon of the brand Old Man as an armored knight, his eyes nasniug, his sword drawn, his hand solemnly laid on a book which should not be closed. But the armor is hung up, the sword is put aside, the book is shut, and everybody has a sick consciousness that no insult now can coax a return blow from John Bull. Hence, while the Berlin Bourse is flat over rumors of a warlike na ture and all the Continent is suspicious of me reality oi the entente corduile, no inter est is visible here, so far as the public is concerned. A crisk has suddenly developed which nas naa tne enect to divert everv mind from Penjdeh and the cruel disgrace of oir reter Lumsaen s recall, and to concen trate the energies of thinking persons on practical politics. Inside St. Stephen's insiinct tens tne political world that great event is impending. The air is full of portents, strange signs, whispered ru mors, foretelling the unexpected, and urgent whips have been sent all over the three kingdoms and to accessible portions of the Continent to bring the Tory metn- oers in not naste to .London. Leaders on both sides mysteriously admit that some thing grave may happen. Workers, mem bers, and candidates are all in a fever of suppressed excitement. Few venture yet to define what they look for, but what is actually on the cards is nothing less than a cnange oi Ministry during the next fort night. MINISTERIAL PURPOSES. Last night, in the smoking room of the House of Commons, I had a long talk by .-ppointment with one of the ablest men iu the Commons, who was fresh from free conversation with Sir Charles Dilke and Lord Randolph Churchill. In substance this is his statement: The Government is riding for a fall; that is, it wants to be beaten. It has three reasons for this: First, a desire; to escape the humiliation of ratifying a nnal absolute surrender to Rus sia; second, a wish to shift the burden of settling the Soudan problem to other shoulders, and third, and most vital of all, to avoid the necessity of dealing with the question of the Crimes act in Ireland. TO GO OCT UNITEDLY. The best settlement the divided Cabinet can reach is that it would be better forthe party prospects that the Ministry should go out on the defeat of local rates or the budget matter, and go out unitedly. The Cabinet thinks there would be a moral ad vantage in being beaten on the liquor tax; hence they hope they can live till then, but it is quite possible that the change will.come sooner. THE HK8TJLT OF THE ELECTION. ' Liberal leaders, who view this prospect with the utmost complacency, feel entirely easy about the result of the coming elec tion. In a day or two probably on Tues day Mr. Gladstone will announce a meas ure hurrying registration up so that the1 country can have an election on the new registers in November. After that the Tories will not dare to dissolve and appeal to the old registers though they might have done so m February last had the vote of censure then passed and with a new electorate after a summer of Torv messintr with the foreign troubles and the Irish complications the Radicals feel perfectly safe. BUTCHERY IN THE SOUDAN. The last causeless butchery outside of Suakin has had the effect of practically uniting the House against further blood shed. The Arabs were surorised while at prayers, friendly runners having watched to give the signal when thev were thus engaged, and so to make the chances of resistance and escape less. The Queen's action in telegraphing her congratulations to Gen. Graham on such a barbarous achievement is felt to be an insult to the English people. A vote of censure, after hot debate, was defeated on Monday night 290 to 260. RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONISTS Grant the Crar Two Tear or Life. f New York Herald Cable Message.

A nihilist congress was held here during the past week, which is likely to have tre mendous consequences throughout the Empire., A sort of nihilist reformation has been proclaimed on principles no longer confined merely to the destruction of the existing social system, but to the creation of a new "system capable at any moment of being' put in force and of ful filling all the requirement for the admin istration or the 8tate.r - : The congress decided that for two years no attempt thail b mad against the life It . r . . v iue zar nor any member of the ii rial family Every possible effort win?" made to induce the Czar to ,i89ll(. th' , ' iftitntion that was actually si.rne.1 h ' fete Car on the very day of his a!s si tion, but winch was never promulgated ' !
