June 13, 1375 Protss Against Joint Decorations. Editors Southerner : We ncn ticed in your "last issue an article copied from the'Louisville Commer eiat, and "written by an ex- confeder-. ate officer, endorsing an article from the pen of Prof. G. W. ltauck, ad- vocating a joint decoration day pf these who y?ore the grey and those who wore the blue in the late war. As an humble follower of the "stars and bars,"' we protest against any such proposition. ..' ,We hope the day will never come when the long suffering people of the impoverished South will cease to remember, with grateful heafts, the sufferings, hardships and self sacrificing devotion of those noble Southern boys, - : ""Who vainly brave, Died for a cause they could not save," and to decorate their rude graves with fresh and beautiful flowers upon each returning spring but. for m to join with those who brought all our misfortunes upon us, in decora ting the graves of those who won tonly laid waste our fields, ruined our homes and murdered thousands of our young men the flower of this Southern land is utterly ab horent to the feelings of every true Southern man. A commingling of all sections in celebrating the Centennial of Lex ington, Mecklenburg and Bunker Ilill may be very proper, as our victories at those places are a com mon heritage ; but it is a mere sham and mockery for us to gather flowers to strew over the graves of those who, not only put the torch to our dwellings, but, in many instances, with a ruthless hand destroyed the slirubery and lovely flower-gardens that surrounded them, and many places that were sweet with the pers fume of roses were left as black and desolate as a desert. A voluntary agreement on our part to any such arrangement as al luded to in the article referred to, would be a surrender of our man hood and would be scorned and despised by those whose good will we thus seek to secure. That this is ?ting?CQave on'y t0 6atigfy our se;d Mogy calling to mind the treat ment of our dead comrades at Ar lington. Our own people were not permitted to place tokens ef affec tion upon their graves, and more recently similar conduct in Green wood Cemetery, Isew xork, where the remains of the brave General Whiting lie rnoulderinfc to dust. We take the following extract from a letter of June 1st, written in New York by a Southern man : " There were many thousands of people in all parts ot Greenwood decorating the graves of Federal soldiers and civilians, but the only tribute to Whiting was by your correspondent; his the only visit to that lonely and unmarked grave. I make no comment you may do that. " After such instances as these, for the Southern people to join with those of the North in decorating the graves of Federal soldiers is repug nant to our idea ot honor and self respect. How can we, without feel ings of shame and self-abasement, place flowers, emblems of love, upon the graves of those, it may be, whose hands were once red with the blood of our brothers, or who fired the fa tal bullet through the heart of an only son. To do this, human na ture must undergo a revolution. To be guilty of such a sacrilege, we must blot from our memories all recollections of the glorious past, and the outrages and inhuman vas salage of our enemies ; we must cease to remember the burning of Atlanta and driving twenty thous and men, women and children from their homes upon thirty hours no-. tice; burning the beautiful city of Columbia, the firing of one hundred guns over the burning of llichmond and the burning of two hundred flowering mills in the Valley of Vir ginia; the burning of thousands of Southern residences and robbing the Southern people of countless mil lions of property ; Butler's infamous New Orleans order reflecting upon the chastity of our women ; bherr den's banditti dispatch, endorsed by Urant and to a great extent su tained by popular sentiment at the North, and many other crimes and outrages not hei-em enumerated When we forget all this, we may "unite with federal soldiers and Northern men in decorating the Jbcderal dead, and not betore. We wish to see " concord in our land and the animosities of the war forever buried," but our " lovo for peace " does not require u3 to de grade ourselves by kissing the rod that smote us, or to honor those who lost their lives while trying to take ours. It. W. J. Falkland, N. C. 'I hate anything that occupies more space than it is worth,' says William Hazitt: 'I hate to see a load of band boxes go along the street, and I hate to see a parcie ot big words withou anything in them.' Convention The Radical Programme. The Republican party .'proposes to defeat the objects of.lthe bill by electing candidates pledged to meet and adjourn. In qtdier words, they are opposed to any reforms, so wed ded are they to the few "flesh spots" they still retain, and so .hostile are hey. to the real welfare of the State. . Some of the test men in their party freely confess tnat the organic law; needs amendment, and by the votes of the Republican lead er in the Senate, Judge Cantwell, and the Republican leader in the House, MrVCandhny, the present bill passed the Legislature by the Constitutional majority " In the-face of these facts, so blinded are theyiy party prejudices, by party hopes, and by hatred of all that is honorable and substantial in he present and future of the State, that they will cheerfully sacrifice everything to gain a few years lease of power. The Raleigh ,:-News, by some means; has gotten a copy of a num ber of resolutions adopted at a pri vate meeting of editors and leaders of the; Republican party which fores shadow the plan of their campaign. Y e give them in full : NULLIFICATION. Resolved 1. That it is deemed by this association good policy for Rea publicans to snpport none for dele gates to the Convention but those who will pledge themselves to ad vocate an immediate'" adjournment of that body, in this manner, defeat ing the purpose of those who com pelled this call for Convention contrary to the wishes of a arge majority of the voters of North Carolina, and saving a vast outlay of money to the people. CONSPIRACY BETWEEN THE LEADERS AND THE PRESS. 12e8olved.2, That the State Ex ecutive Committee is hereby re spectfully requested, by an address or otherwise, to recommend this policy to the voters opposed to Convention ; and that the newspas pers connected with the association will heartily uphold the policy herein indicated and use every endeavor to disseminate this pica among the people. liesolved d, That there is no more effectual guide to political sentiment than an out-spoken and independent press, and that it is incumbent upon office-holders who are pecuniarily benefitted by their party, to con tribute of their means, to the sus tenance of their party papers. ilELP ME CAS3IUS, OR I SINK ! Resolved 4, That the Chairman of the Executive Committee of each Congressional District of North Carolina be requested to solicit the office-holders of the District, both State and Federal, to subscribe far a greater or less number of the Re publican iournals of this District to furnish the post olhce address and names to the editor, with a view of circulating such newspapers among the people. The Secretary is in structed to send a copy of this reso- lution to the Chairman 01 each Diss trict Executive Committee. Resolved 5, That, thi3 Associas tion will oppose the appointment to office of men who are unwilling to contribute to the support or Ivepub lican newspapers : and under propn er circumstances, will use its influ- ence to oust office holders who show such illiberal spirit. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS ! Resolved 6, That this Associa tion condems the employment m Federal offices of those who are un. willing to vote the Republican ticks et, and that the employment of such persons will be deemed a sufficient cause, when ascertained, to impel this association to use its influence for the removal of the heads of offi cers who thus abuse the confidence of the Republican party. THE USURY LAW TO BE USED FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE REs PUBLICAN PARTY. Resolved 7, That the passage of the Usury Law is of doubtful utih ty and that it is likely to cause much distress to the people; and that while it is not recommended that the Republican pres3 shall take de cided grounds for, or against it, it i3 deemed advisable to take such advantage of an unpopular law as will enure to the advantage ot the Republican party. MUM ON REPUDIATION. Resolved 8, That no true Repub lican ought to advocate repudiation of the State debt, but it is deemed most fitting that Republican news papers should not at present dis cuss the question. CIVIL RIGHTS A LIVING ISSUE. Resolved, 9, That an extended discussion of the civil rights bill is deemed nnadvisable, but that the Republicans should never intimate that the bill is wrong in principle or that it will be disastrous in Us operations, and it is believed time will show the people that no evil need be apprehended from its eno actment. RAILROAD POLICY (ONE OF THE CONSPIRATORS, A KAILK0AD AT- TOENEY.) Resolved, 10, That the attacks ot eertam democratic newspapers upon the Judges of the Supreme Court because of the guage decis ion, is mlamoua and ought to be condemed without qnalification, by Republican newspapers. Resolved, 11. That Republicans are in tavor oi Consolidation and that they do not regard a change of guage detrimental to that pro- act but believe if carried out in its full scope that it would materi- ally assist m building up the North Carolina system from Morehead City to the Tenneesee line. SQUIBS AND POP GUNS. Resolved 12. That pungent pa- rapraphs and shot articles are re commended to our newspapers. OURS ARE THE PLANS OF FAIR, DE LIGHTFUL PEACE' Resolved 13. That the .Republi can newspapers represent in this As sociation, whether by letter or by personal representation, will co-operate so far as possible in matters of opinion and that they will espec ially refrain from disagreements and quarrels with right and truth they agree to stand by each other and so ar as is consistent with one anoth er. HELP ME, AGAIN. Resolved 14. That this Associa tion appeals to the Chairman of the Executive Committee to urge upon the Chairman of District Commits tees and office-holders the urgent, necessity of sustaining the Repub- ican press of the btate, leaving the matter of solicitation to his judge ment. Resolved 15. That copies of these resolution be fowarded by the Sec retary, together with the proceeds ings of this meeting to every Re publican newspaper here represen ted, and to every editor who has responded to the call by letter; and it is understood that these proceed- igns are not to be published, but THE EESOWTIOKS ABE FOE THE "CONFI DENTIAL" USE AXD GUIDANCE OF THE ED ITORS CONCERNED. Wir. S. Ball, Chm'n. Beecher's Eight Bower in Trouble. No little excitement ha3 been produced in the mercantile world by the startling indictments which the United States grand jury of New Yerk has just found againt Horace B. Claflin, ono of the most celebratd merchant princes in the world, upon the grave charge ef " smuggling. " Mr. Claihn is the silk buyer of the well known firm of II. B. Claflin & Co., of New York, and he is charged in tour counts with smuggling or CO o concealing 6ix cases of smuggled silks in April, 1873, to the value of 30,000, and he is charged in six teen other counts with having at various times in the year of 1872-'73, received and concealed unknown quantities of valuable silks, upon which no duty was ever paid, and consequently contrary to law computed value ot the whole 1,000, 000. If these most seriou.3 charges against so celebrated a house as Claflin & Co. shall be sustained, it will not only be the downfall of these great and wealthy merchant princes, but it will occasion a sensa- tion in the moral and religious world of Brooklyn and Plymouth church almost as disasterous as the scanda lous Beecher-Tilton case, which has poisoned the whole atmosphere of that saintly locality ; for it will be remembered that Claflin is a bosom friend of Beecher and one of the monied pillars of his church that his name has been conspicuous in the Beecher trial now pending, and that his money has flowed like wai ter in the defence of that great reli gious luminary. Indeed, are tho ways of the transgressor hard. Will it not be a fitting commenta ry upon the morality, religion and honesty of Plymouth church, to see two of its shinging lights its spirit' ual head and financial pillar both under indictment at the same time, for two of the worst crimes known to the law ? Neither tho prayers of Beecher nor the money ot Claflin can save their moral reputations, even should they escape the punish ment which their crimes merit. Exchange. A Royal American. The Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, has become a property holder on Broadway, New xork, under peculiar circumstances. About thirty pear3 ago Marcus Wise, of Austria, came to this county and engaged in the fancy goods busi ness in New York, and succeeded so well that he soon amassed a for tune variously estimated at from three to four hundred thousand dol lars, consisting of real estate on Broadway and United States bonds. Ho was married in early life and two daughters was the result of the union. Their home was a happy one until, in an evil hour, the hu3 band and father listened to the song of the syreen. Then the wife and mother sought and obtained a diyorce. With her daughter, she returned to Austria in 1SG4. The daughters died the same year of their return, and the mother only survived them until 1870. In the meantime, Weise, with his mistress, returned, leaving his property in New York, and resumed his alle giance to the royal family of his native country, in 1874. A few months afterwards he was killed by an Austrian soldier on a train of the Moravian railroad. The sol dier was court martialed and shot. Then the crown set up a claim to the property he had acquired. The mistress of tho murdered man con tested the claim, bu as she could not establish a legitimate marriage the court decided in favor of Fran cis Joseph, who is thus elevated to the proud position of an American tax payer. He is now liable to as sessments for the benefit of the American eagle, and if he is not prompt in making payments will get a little insight into tho mystc. ries of precipes against his proper.' ty. But if at any time Bismarck shall feel it encumbent upon him to depose him, Francis Joseph can come to this country and live a free man in a free country, and at the same time have enough property to koep the wolf from the door. Macaulay. it was not until Macaulay stood up that I wa3 aware of all tho vul garity aud ungainliness of his ap pearance ; not a ray of intellect beams from his countenance, a lump of more ordinary clay never enclos ed a powerful mind and lively im agination. He had a cold and a sore throat, the latter of which oc casioned a constant contraction of the thorax, mr.king him appear as if in momentary danger of a fit. His manner struck me as not pleas ing, but it was not assuming ; un embarrassed, yet not easy, unpol ished, yet not coarse, there was no kind of usurpation of the conversa tion, no tenacity as to opinions or facts, no assumption of superiority, but tho variety and extent of his in formation were soon apparent, for whatever subject wa& touched upon he evinced the "utmost familiarity with it, quotation, illustration., an ecdote, seemed ready in his hands for every topic. Mac aulay is a most extraordinary man, and his astonishing knowledge is every moment exhibited, but (as far as I have yet seen of him, finch is not sufficient to judge) he is not agreeable. His propositions and his allusions are rather too abrupt, he starts topics not altogether nat urally, then he has none of tho graces of conversation, none of that exquisite tact and refinement which are the result of a felicious institu tion or a long acquaintance with good society, or more" probably a mixture of both. Syd ney Smith calls Macaulay "a book in breeches." Greenville's Memo ries. Senator Morton delivered a speech at Greencastle, Ind., on dec oration day, wich, while not espec ially magnanimous toward tho south contained this noteworthy senti ment and promise: "While we havo buried the animosities of the war ; while we have forgiven all the participators in tho rebellion, for none have been punished, and all but about 100 have been made illegible to hold the highest offices in the land ; yet it does not follow that we are to honor them or to be stow apon them rewards. Forgive ness is divine, but that does not necessarily carry with it honor and reward. 1 have never thought I should do suffh a thing, but I be leive now that I am willing to vote for a bill next winter doin n wn tf and relieving the last dissabilitv growing out of the rebellion, to take effect on the 4th of Jul v next, so that all races and colors, without regard to previous condition of scr-. vitude or of arms, shall begin the next century on an equality before the law. (Applause.) Aud may God put into the hearts of tho people everywhere, north and suoth, to ac cept in all its fullness and extent the birth of the nation, to admin ister justice, humanity and charity, and to exercise to each and all those gifts, and to do those thing3 that they would have others to do unto them." This is better than anything Morton ever said, and still he might have done better. Jones gave a lawyer a bill to bo collected to the amount of thirty dol lars. Calling for it, after awhile, ho inquired if it had been collected. 'Oh, yes said the lawyer, 'I havo it all for you.' 'What charge for collecting?' 'Oh,' said tho lawyer, laughing, 'I'm not going to charge yor why I have known you ever since you were a baby, and your father before you twenty dollars will be about right,' banding over ten dollars. 'Well,' said Jones, aa he meditated upon tho transaction, 'its darned lucky he didn't know my grandfather, or I shouldn't have got anything!'
