Editorial Correspondence-
Feb. 14th, 1876
Nash Superior Court convened
this morning. Judge Watts com
ing through tha country from
Louisburg, put in an appearance at
10:30 A.M. sham. This was bo
vast an improvement, that few
his most intermediate friends recog
nized him such was their astonish
ment.
Some of our valued exchanges
reported that Judge Henry woul
hold the court, but the Southerner
didn't. It never reports inac
curate. J. C. L. Harris, Esq.,
came in about 11 A. M. with Sharp
of Sharpesburg.
All Nashville had or its Sunday
clothes, best bib and tucker, clean
boots and new paper collars.
Court week to Nashville is the
oasis in the desert, silver threads
among the flax, rockets, long
dollarless, gape for green pabulum.
A larger percentage of the popu
lation of this county attend cimrt
than any county in the state. It is
a proverbially hospitable people,
mirth loving and gregarious, and
they much delight to gather away
their friends. Many notables were
on the ground to day W. B. (Burt)
Ferell now famous as the plaintiff
in the great $10 bull suit was pres
ent in great profusion, ubiquitous
and confident, the very remarkable
bovine would gently chew his cud
under the Ferrell vine and fig tree
yet longer. Perry (he has no re
lations in Tarboro) the level head
ed dog swapping defendant in some
c.se showed cheeks gwing with
the quiet flash of anticipated vic
tory. Ferrell shook my hand
heartily at the immortalization the
Southerner had given him and his
case.
Woodsen was here, via Rocky
Mount, bright and early looked as
large as life and twice a3 natural.
Swapped his quid from one xo the
other side of his mouth with the air
of a man, who saw scalps ahead
and intended to gather them. He
is tramp yes ace. Belonging to
the temperance order he could test
no fluid save cold water. Of this
it is cleverly computed he placed
under his vest 3 gallons in one
hour. He said he wasn't thirsty.
After refreshing himself he mean
dered forth sweetly chanting this
ditty.
Subscriber, do you want a paper,
Full of all tbe news,
Happiest locals and editorial views 1
Pocket book in hind up this way prance,
And take a copy of the glorious Advance.
By the way, Woodson, told me
a good one connected with subscri
bers objecting to advertisements.
A man met him on the streets of
Wilson and told him to stop his pa
per. "What forj?" inquired Wool-1
son, "Too mnny advertisements Lr
me. I'm going to take the Tarboro
Southerner." "Why," says
Woodson, "The Southerner runs
17 columns of advertisement while
I only run 14." "I know better
than that" responded the man, and
he subscribed for t'..e Southerner
Monday is too early in the week
for fights, as whiskey has not hv
time to permeate the system. I ru;ty
chronicle a few next week. Nash
ville is not a finished town as in
been inpioiiisly written. B. 11.
Sorsby the Superior Court Clerk is
building a dwelling on msin Street,
and the tenpin alley is flourishing.
Col. Griffin, the genuine proprie
tor of the Hotel has had his row of
lawyer's offices fitted up in apple
pie order for the accommodation of
his guests. Aunt Beckey keeps
her table well loaded down with
good things for the inner man.
Charlie Dozier, from Tarboro, is
here with a few horses and mules.
He is gay and festive as when on
his native heath.
Only one jury case was tried to
day. The judge had court opened
at 11 A. M. and charged the grand
jury in a manner peculiar to him
self. With Livingstone he explored
the mysteries of South Africa. With
Capt. Cook he sailed 'round the
world. With Fowler he phrenolo
gized the heads of mankind. With
himself be divestated on politj'-al
and domestic economy. On the
whole it served its purpose and
formed the usual preface to a session
of the court. Judge Watts is not
the simpleton, in my opinion, that
he is regarded by some, and con
sidering the size of his circuit and
the larger number of appeals, he is
notjufttaer overruled in the Supreme
to
Court than the other judges. We
may get through the business by
the middle of next week. There
are no crimes of grbater magnitude
than larceny. The criminal
docket contains 131 cases, the civil
trial 63 and the Summons 20.
Hard times i3 the cry every where.
Overtrading extravagance and pride.
The lawyers in attendance upon
court are Hon. W. T. Dortch of
Goldsboro, Gen. W. R.. Cox, of
Raleigh, Capt C. M. Cook, of
Franklin, Capt. R. W. Soyner, of
Toisnot. Col. T. S. Kenan. A.
Woolard and II. G. Jonnor, Esq.,
of Wilson, and Messrs Thorp & Bro
and Bunn & Williams, of Rocky
Mount.
The officers of the court are po
lite and efficient and it is noticeable
that Mr. Sorsby, the clerk, has all
his dockets indexed and regularly
places paper on the lawyer's desks.
This is commendable and worthy
of imitation. Besides it saves him
self from being troubled during the
day. B.
Compulsory Sshaole.
Mr. Editor.! feel willing to
render unto Oaer the things that
are Ceaser and ur.to God the things
that are God's who, said "my king
dom is not of this world.'
I believe no public question at
this time seems to attract more at
tention than that of schools and
sectarian tenet being taught in
them. Now that the President has
thrust upon congress this subject, L
think it becomes the duty of all
free men co look to their rights if
thev have any and defend theua. I
belfeve the advocates of Compulsory
Schools if carried out as recom
mended by tne president will over
throw popular rights, and the free
institutions of the states, and that
the advocates of them are themselves
seeking to change the Constitution
of the United States, in rlie interest
of their own sectarian schemes. I
owe it to the cause of truth and
justice; 1 owe it to popular rights
and freedom of conscince, (now
openly attacks by the recommenda
tion of the Presid,nt) and I owe it
to religion itself in whose sacred
name, and under whose holy garb,
this great wrong and outrage is
sought to be done. 1 know that no
true Christian mnn. whether he be
Protestant ox Catholic can be dan
gerous to the government of United
States. Ihe divine law is to re
turn good for evil, te love our ene
mies, and to obey the powers that
be: for they are srdained of God.
1 have i.o fears of Christianity in
any of its forms. If we have any
thing to fear, it is from the Mach
inations of the evil one, who some
times tempt the ambitious and un
principled to make a cloak of re
ligion to sewe the devil in and to
inflame the bad passions of men
for their own aggrandizement. 1
feel justified in denouncing the
,whole scheme of compulsary schools
X)J Mate or nation. It is without
precident in any of the American
constitutions, and a direct stab to
civil, and religious liberty. By
what article in the Federal con
stitution has congress the right to
pass a law to compel the Education
of our Children in sectarian or non
sectarian schools, with our own
money ? The divine law enjoins
on parents tu raise up their chi.d-
ren in the fear and admoriation of
the Lord. Does Ceaser want to
usurp (Jod's power to rule the
consciences of parents aDd Educate
their chiUren regardless f the di
vine law : b 10b :m attempt 1 feel
prepared to 'knounce everywhere
as unpst and wicked oppo.-ed to
the .-f iri t t' chns-i'ani'y, uiid yro
111 )ti ve of u.ircrd and evil, inie-id
"t "peace on earth, and good will
among men.'' It seems to me,
there is a piinc pie sought fur, oi
vital iinjxT ance to the people of the
states .t ligfit of the must precious
kimi, destioyed by this recommen
dation. Ii is an attempt toieciare
in the organic law, that the state
as a riht to control the conscieaces
of its people, and prescribe the
particular sources from which the
youths of our country shall derive
their i'Jeas ai d opinions upon
liei.gKius sulj-cts and upon all
other uj'v: . A power so dan
eicju aihis cmiiot be ercercised
in a free o; e; iiinent. It should be
prohibited in our Mil if rights.
Ihe u r.-ction of the Education of
our children should remain with
their parents and guardians as a
God-given right to educate and to
raise them up in the fear of God.
Our people have a ways been jealous
of their rights to freedom ot Con
sience. Now that it is sought to
he violaced, They have opposed
the union of church and state. And
now a precedent is sought to be
established, by which, hereafter
church and state may become united
or that which is worse, infidelity
and state. I hope and believe all
true chiistians are willing to ren
der unto Ceaser the things that are
Ceaser'8, and pay tribute to his
government equally upon all values
held by them in church or state
property and ask for nothing only
equal rights and protection with all
other citizens. By the common
law, I believe the right3 of all
persons and sects to worship God
as seeraeth right unto them has
been protected, and I say let that
right itmtin. We have denied,
from the commencement of our gov
ernment in every form, the right f
the majority or their representatives
in anv way to do violence to the
consciences of the minority, and
whenever the contrary doctrine
shall be insisted on; it will be ap
posed and resisted. The attempt
to ioforce it wilt ied to dissentions,
sectarion wars the most bloody
and Terible. Can it be possible
that the President wants such a
Calamity ? Let all lovers of our
ceuntry in the begining of itssecond
century unite w condemn it,
the voice of an old man, that wishes
peace and prosperity to his country.

Editor Southerrne :
The Senate, on Friday passed the
Centennial appropriation bill, and it
now goes to the if resident ior appro
val, which it will get beyond a doubt
Senator Norwood of Georgia, made
an earnest protest against its passage
and delivered a speech which for
soundness of logio and strength of
argument has not been surpassed
during the session ; from a constitu
tional standpoint, it waa unanswera
ble. The vote when finally taken,
stood 41 ayes to 15 nays many not
votinsr and some nairiner off. In the
same way, the question as to an ex
tention of time for the bulding of the
Northern Pacific R. R. came up, and
an act was finally passed granting
such extension, and providing, among
other things, tht t the said company
shall, within six months, file with the
Secrertay of the Interior, its accept
ance of the provisions of tho act, or
be forever barred. The 'provisions
involve the possession by thi s corpo
ration of millions of acrea of public
domain donated by the United States
Government when subsides were in
order. It may be in effect considered
as a new grant to the road, and it
therefore becomes matter of reason-
ble inquiry, why the Southern Pacif
ic, Tom Scott's Texas Pacific, and
any other road, in fact, cannot de
mand aid for their construction.
In the House on Thursday the con
sular and diplomatic appropriation
bill was reported by Mr. Randall
from the Appropriation Committee,
when Mr. Blaine, thinking it a fit
occasion to ventilate his views deliv
ered a speech on the finance question,
a copy of which, by the way, had
found its way into the hands, of Mr.
Tarbox, who was prepared to demol
ish Mr. B's position, and to convict
him of his fallacies 'out of his own
mouth.' There was nothing either
new or Btriking in the address of the
former. He merely went over the
same old path which has been trav"
elledby so many other politicians and
sued the eame old clap-trap argument
about the issue of legal tenders having
been 'necessary to the life of the na
tion,' landed the 'national bank sys
tern' of which Salmon P. Chase was
the originator, as one of the greatest
creations of human genius, &c, be
sides a great deal more in the strain
Tf the issue of legal tenders was nee
essary to the life of the nation, its ap
plication much resembles the heroic
style of treatment once so popular,
that of blood letting, with this im
portant difference, that whereas na
ture came to the rescue and in time
usually restored the depleted consti
tution ; with our political blood let
ters, the weariness first superinduced
in the body politic by the issuance of
paper money, has been increased
with the passage of time, and seems
now father than ever from a return to
normal monetary conditions. The
Secroiary of tha Treasury has, within
the past few days, presented the first
ray of hope to the eyes of the hard
money people, when he reports an
amount of silver coin 'accumulating
in the Treasury which, in default oi
some accident, will be sufficient to
cail in mueh of ihe 'shin plaster' cur
rency now afloat. This is 'in futuro,
however, and his expectation maybe
blasied.
There is an e. musing, as well as a
serious aspect to this financial ques
tion, which appears when Republi
can statesman (save the word !) with
unblushing effrontry defend the le
gal tender and national bank sys
tems with oae breath, and attempt to
saddle the heresy of inflation, of
which they were of necessi'y theorig
ioators and authors, upon the Demo
cratic paTty in another. The Republi
can party was in power by an over
whelninmg majority when the acts
were passed, and by means of that
majority, they became laws ; and yet
the Democrats are to be held respon
sible for the mistake. It is truly
amusing.
The foreign monarchs and rulers
who were expected to attend Uncle
Sum's levee at Philadelphia this year
are going to have a good laugh on
us, when as of course they will
they visit the Capital of the nation
and behold the unfinished monument
of Washington. How they will t mile
at the childishness and inconsistency
of a conntry which, while partaking
eternally of the blessings of liberty,
and while appropriating the public
funds for a private corporation, has
forgotten to honor the memory of the
very man through whom they are en
abled to enjoy tbe one and to give
away the other. Will not the sin
cerity of our profession be called in
question even by the heathen of the
far east, think you? JYous veriont.
Mr. Edmunds, having perhaps this
idea in view, presented a petition the
othor day, numerously signed, which
was referred to Committee on Public
Buildings., asking an appropriation
to finish the Washington Monument.
This is an old subject you will say ;
yes, its age is the only objection to it.
I wish there could be a man stationed
on every housetop in the land who
should daily and hourly proclaim to
our people that this monument is still
unfinished, and should urge them
from very shame if from no higher
motives, to be just beiore being gen
erous and to transform that mighty,
nngainly moonster south of the Pres
idential mansion, from its present
resemblance to a shot-tower or the
reservoir of a water works company,
into a grand and shapely monument,
worthy to commemorate to posterity
tbe name and fame of the 'greatest
man of all this age.' You have heard
so much on this subject, that it may
seem hackneyed ; yet I defy any man
in view of the recent appropriation
for the Centennial, to stand beside
thi mas of ntfn and mortar, in its
iust such comments upon the utter
inconsistency of our people and leg
islative boddies. Let every newspaper
in tha land take un this Question and
in each issue take up the refrain like
Cato, 'Delenda est Carthago until the
country is driven.if not persuaded into
an honorable fulfilment of that which
every precedent in the past history of
nations, teaches us to be our duty to
the illustrious Washington.
Shepard left the city during the
past week and wended his way to St
Louis. It is rumored hi went large
ly supplied with the 'wherewith,'
about $10,000 in fac though "What
use he will find there for so large a
sum, a community which loves, hon
ors, and watches him with a constant
and affectionate solicitude, is entirely
at a loss to conjecture, ihe juries
out there are evidently not of the
stripe he has been accustomed to in
this District, where like Alaric the
Visigoth of olden times, when the
scales ot justice balanced uneasily, it
required but the addition of the sword
of authority or a plentiful supply of
gold, to weigh them down in the de
sired direction.
. The reduction in the appropriations
"or foreign agents, consuls, ministers,
&c., has caused no little flustrationa
in Republican ranks, as that party
holds all the office, and would fsin
see the present high salaries with
'perquisites' ditto, continue. They
made every effort to amend the bill,
but the inexorable Jujjgeranut of re
form cannot be staid if the Democracy
would hold its power, and their op
position was of no avail. The fact is,
large numbers of these positions are
mere sinecures for political favorites,
and without the slighest influence on
commerce. Belknap asks for 8-0,0'JO-000
for the War Dep artment for the
ensuing year, which isjufct $1,000,-
000 for each regiment in the service.
Robeson has not yet made his demand,
but will do to, of course, with his
usual modesty. The Democrats have
held a caucus, presided over by Mr.
Lamar, in which the finance question
was the principal subject of discus-
Bion. ISo line 0! policy lia3, as yet,
