Aahcyille, N. C o o o o HE JUSTIFIES THE SOUTH Jl'DGC HKKRinON'H HPI-IXH TO THE VETERANS. The Force Hill Denounced Col. Ray Arraigns tile I'ubllc for lu dlircrciice to the Soutli'H Ie fenders other HpccchUH. Col. J. M. Kay addressed the veterans at Saturday's meeting in the grove on Magnolia avenue, praising tlicin for their bravery unci neliicvcments anil sympa thising with them in their hardships. His Sceeli was largely of the old days, but he took occasion to'givc a rapat the lack of public inteiest shown in the re union of those who fought lor the South. In tiiis connection Col Kay said: "Who save our immediate families and friends have contributed aught to the success of our reunion? The United States government refused to sell us tents for this occasion; the state of North Carolina to loan them to us, and our county and city have shown hut lit tle interest in the matter. The gala-day soldier, he of tiusd and gaudy uniform thev treat not so; upon him they spend with unstinted hand: wc help to do it anil do it not grudgingly. Many of our public spirited citizens (so called) will cheerfully contribute from !ji5 to $50 to assist in giving a champagne supper to some rich nabob, while we old rebels are lelt to furnish our own amusements and loot the bills. One man high in position did open his heart and give one of our committee men fifty cents. Another, who will be very soon soliciting your votes for a state ofliec of considerable importance said "110," though approach ed more than once. Another holding one of the best paying offices in the coun ty, declined to coiilrihutc.saying he had not been a soldier. Our committee did find a few liberal men outside our vet eran band and such we will ever hold in L'rateful remembrance. In this cold indilference, howevir, we have our conso lation, that is, that after we arc dead will comca.mrceiation! In this, however. 1 presume none of us will say speed the day." Judge Merrimon. The speech of Hon. James II. Mcrri- mon was one which appealed directly to the hearts ol the veterans and they lis tened to it with intense interest. Judge Merrimon spoke less than half nn hour and not one of his hearers wanted him to sit down when he had finished. Taking the civil war as the text for the fust part of his discourse the speaker made a strong argument to show that the south was notntfault. Hebegan with the formation ol the union of states, lay ing particular stress on those provisions of the constitution designed to protect the rights of the individual states, and followed this with a plain spoken am I ringing declaration of his views. He 1 m,.... ... M. , in .......it t ,rt thf tlfl. lion is nothing more than irtnership of states and that when one violates the articles of agreement it is but fair that the others hould witndraw. There was, he as serted, no violation of the constitutional ghts of states till 1800 and even at that time Abraham Lincoln wrote a let ter maintaining that congress had no right to interfere with them. Hut yet," continued Judge .Merrimon, what dir.! they do ? I have no doubt that Lincoln was a great man and one fgrc.it lorce and intellectual power, but ct there were men behind to tell him what to do, who had more power still. Lincoln did not want at lirst to coerce he Southern States. It was agreed at st to surrender Fort Sumter and no body at that time had the slightest thought of war. But the governors ol seven Northern States met in conference ud took action which caused the null- a to be called out and rendering the war necessary. Hail tuc southern States violated the constitution ? 1 ask. xpresslv no. Yet the Northern States ompcllcd the South in self defence to Undraw the powers they had delegated o the general government and set up ir themselves. 1 he South hail a perlecl right to do this and 1 challenge any body to show otherwise. In the origi- al constitution it was declared that slavery should not be interlcred with ud this was again ratified in 1H5V. The Question. The contest in lSOO, when Lincoln was elected, was as to whether or not slavery should go beyond what was nown as the Missouri compromise line. Salmon t". Chase, the mouthpiece of the government, declared that slavery was sustained by the c institution, but Lin coln had been elected on n platform that ed for its abolition and the houtli either had to submit to be domineered over by the North or set up for itself. Hint was the question when in ul the separate government was established and the grandest man America has seen during the present century was put at its head Icllerson Dans ILong ami oud applause 1 The south was not on the agressive; her action was taken in self defense. I declare to you here that every southern life that was taken dur- ng the war wus murder and that every lollar's worth of southern property that was destroyed was rank robbery. 'It is the duty ol every southern man to let his children be taught on these subjects and let them know that their lathers touglit, not uceause mcy were rcliels and traitors, but because they were forced to do it in self dclcnce. 1 hat was their position mid that was the reason they fought. "Some sny that government oi tne t'nited States is made by the people and that is a government of the people and tor the icoplc, but I say it is not. It is n government by the states, created by the states, and ruled iy tne states. "These issues however, arc dead, and they'll never be fought over again. Sla very was not the cause ol tne war, as many people say; it wns only the oc casion of it, and the violation of the principles of states' rights was what caused the unpleasantness." Coining Irom war tunes down to the present day Judge Merrimon struck out at the followers of the "Force bill" with the utmost vigor. He denounced the measure in round terms. The Force mil. "Even now," said the speaker, in this connection "they are trying to pass law that they won't submit to in the North, and instead of saving to us that we can have our elections as we have been hnving them for over n hundred years, without interference, they say they will send olhcers here of thcirownclioos- (ng to count the votes and certify them to please themselves. It was upon the assurance of the constitution that con gress should not interfere with the elec tions unless a state was in such a posi tion as not to be able to carrv thcin on by itself, that North Carolina ratified the constitution. How :an it be said that the Southern States, as prosperous as they are, can need this yoke and be further disgraced and degraded ns they have already been by our oppressors? There is but one way to stop this and that is by the people rising up in their might and saying by their ballots that t must not be done. 1 say that tne mnn in the South who votes for such a meas ure doesn't deserve to live among south ern iicople. 1 non t purpose to sr up bad blood, but 1 feel humiliated and dis graced as one who lives in a country that is about to be trodden underfoot, and I raise niv voice for the ncople. 1 can understand how there can be differ ences on polities and free silver a"d the tariff, but for the life of me I cant see how there can be on questions involving the liberty of the people. Yet even in the South this is a two-sided question and you find people who are willing to have this law passed. Now I say to you old soldiers who have risked your lives and laced the mouths of cannons for your liberty, arc you willing to give up your rights. (Cries of "never! never!") "Some say it was n good thing that tl.e South was beaten in the war, but 1 sny no. II wc had such men nsl'avisnna Lee at the head of our government now we would have the best government on earth, one for, of and by the people. We were forced at Inst to lav down our arms and were promised that we could back into the Union on the same footing as belorc, but when wc tried it we were oppressed all the more. It seems ns if they are determined to crush us out and put the heel of oppression on our heads. Senator Teller, of Colorado, who by the wav is a republican, said when congress reassembled that he had rend the loree bill through twenty times and that it was the most infamous measure that had ever passed the threshold of congress." Judge Merrimon concluded amid the cheers of the crowd. W. VV. Stringficld, who followed him, introduced a strik ingly dramatic incident into his speech. After paying n glorious tribute to "the united soldiery of the Confederacy to whom belongs all glory" he grasiied a large t inted states nag and wrapping it around his Head and shoulders ex claimed : "I fought this Hag for four years, but I want to say right now, as a Confeder ate officer, although I am 5(i years old, that il the I nitcd States government is assailed from any ouartcr of the globe, I'll light for it anywhere. My grand father followed this flag in the revolu tion, my father fought lor it in 1812 and my brother in the Mexican war, and al though I fought for four vears the men who carried it I am now ready to fol low it anywhere. "And," added Major Stringfield, after a pause, "the man that savs I won't is a liar." J. M. Oudgerof the Kough and Ready guard, warned the old soldiers against making the force bill a possibility, and Gen. K. H. Vance, though avoiding poli tics, made one of his whole souled SMreehes which go right to the heart of the old soldiers. 11c eulogized the brave men who fell, in an earnest, touching manner and paid a high tribute to those who are left. As to North Carolina he said her soldiers had been in every battle that had ever been fought in the United States and that her soldiers had gotten the name of Tar heel because they stuck to battle fields so well. Gen. Theodore Davidson, wearing his old moth eaten army coat ol lonledcrnte grey was greeted with cheers when he appeared in response to the popular call and made a hue speech lasting live minutes, den Davidson explained the state's refusnl to let the veterans have tents, to which Col. Kay had referred, by saving that the tents were not the state's property and it had no right to lend them. Cnpt. Natt Atkinson also spoke. opened today. The Houthcrii IIiihIiichh College In ANhcvllle. The Southern business college, I'rof, M. M. Letnmond principal opened in the Barnard building, third lloor, today with a fair attendance.

He has spared nothing in procuring a faculty and equipping his rooms, and will make ol bis college an institution that will re flect credit upon Asheville. The college hours are 0:30 a. in. to 12:30 p. in. and 2 to -I p. m. I'rof. Lcm mond invites all interested in the college to call nnd look ut the rooms and in spect the workings of the institution. THE IMIIANI LEAVE. Chief tiiiilth Makes a Speech Sat urday EvenluK. A large crowd witnessed the Indian dances on Cumberland avenue Saturday evening. At the close ol tne dancing Chief Smith gave an oration in the In dinn tongue, afterward translating it into English. In the speech he said that, notwithstanding the fact that his peo ple once owned all of this western conn trv, thev bore no ill will to their white neighbors who had taken possession Chief Smith said further that his people were democrats and nil hoped to sec Crawford re-elected. This elicited a cheer, of course. When Chief Smith had concluded iom Skittv made a speech in ludian, the chief interpreting it.

Blockades Burned and Hie Con vict dent Oat of the Country The CauHC Wan That Convicts Were UetiliiK Most ol the Work. Nasiivii.i.i-:, Tcnn,, Aug. 15. The ill feeling which has existed at Tracy City between the free miners and convicts cul minated Saturday when the miners, well armed, captured the stockade. They took the stores ol the company out. The convicts were then loaded on a train and started for Nashville. The stockades were burned nud the tele graph wires were cut. Today quiet prevails at Tracy City. though much anxiety is shown by the miners as to what steps the mine own ers and State authorities will take. Gov ernor Buchanan announces his determi nation to use eycry lawful means in his power to preserve order when applica tion in proper and legal form is made to him by the civil authorities. The Ten nessee Coal iron and railroad co-olHcials intimate that they will reopen the mines in a lew days, so roon as they can organize a force to work the coal ovens, and that the convicts may not be used again at these mines. Trouble is feared ut Inman near South Pittsburg and a reinforcement of guards has been hurried there and more will be sent if needed. The situation at all the mines and coke ovens where convicts are worked is not encouraging and a spirit of resistance seems prevalent in all the mining districts. Neither convict lesses nor the authori ties have decided upon a plan of action and the miners at Tracy City arc in full control with plenty of arms. Ciiattanooc-.a, Aug. 15. liarly this morning about 500 miners met at White- well, lean., a few miles Irom lnman, where 250 convicts were at work in the iron mines of the Tennessee Iron and mil wav company nnd proceeded in a body toward Inman on a train on which wns a party ol unarmed men going to Inman to increase the guards at the stockade. The miners would not let the tram proceed any further and held the guards. About 150 miners took charge of the guards while the remainder, about 4-00, went for wa rd determined to burn the stockade and turn the convicts over to the guards, put them ell on a train and send them out of the country. This is the last heard from them as the tele graph wires have been cut. SHOULD BE FIRST. Asheville and the State's world's Fair Building. It is gratifying to have from some of the ladies who have undertaken to raise $1,000 in Asheville toward the North Carolina building at the World's fuir, a favorable report, and it is hoped that the other members of the committee, have been as successful, Several firms in town contributed as much as $50 or $25 each, and many individuals were as generous. Now is the time tot liuncombe to man ifest her patriotism and public spirit. If anyone in the surrounding neighborhood would like to feel he will have nn invest ment in North Carolina state headquar ters in Chicago, let such person send his name and contribution to Mrs. 1. a Morrison.
