Bateman. a The EDENTON, N. STILL A PROBLEM. The recent National election has brought about much discussion in the great States of New York, Indiana, New Jersy and Connecticut as touching the Solid South and especially as touching the negro vote of the South. There is a growing sentiment in the north in favor of disfranchisement. We have seen but slight expression of opinion in the South on the subject, of late years, the people thereof having accepted the situation of affairs as unalterably fixed. Dr. Lafferty, of the Richmond Christ ian Advocate, a man who wields the brightest pen of any writer in the South, hesitates not to speak and in the fol lowing fearless style : What a strange commentary on "free institutions' ' is the fact that a maioritv of a million and a half of white men voted in favor of Cleveland Harrison will rule by the will of ex-slaves. If there was not an African in America, Cleveland would have an overwhelming maioritv. How severe the strain on the Republic when Ethio pians without the faintest notion of the ballot, take away political power from the maioritv of white citizens ! The Anglo Saxon, after centuries of civil ization, finds himself under the thrall of barbarians of recent remove from Equatorial Africa. The masters of the world become the political slaves of its hereditary serfs. Think of the govern ment of England determined by the stupid vote of the freed blacks of Hayti ! That is the precise situation in the United States. A million of men, the best and brave, butchered each other that a dull and besotted alien race might hold the balance of power among an English speaking people. Consider also that the Chinese, who are the greatest tribe of the East a nation producing wonders in architure, art, finance, political economy are scouted from our shores, while the Negro, whose native land is just across the Mediterranean from Athens and Rome, and along the same river with the wise Egyptians, yet never rising out of a sloven savagery in all the centuries, remaining a brute and bond men throughout the ages, is the ebon Czar of America, the sooty and grotes que idol of advanced statesmen. It makes men shudder for the sanity of our civilization. The nearest illustration to this odd disarray and confusion of common sense is found in the era of the Pharaohs. In the tombs of the great Rameses are huge bulls, embalmed with all the skill and lavish cost of a rare chemistry. These gross beasts were helt as sacred. A learned, powerful and famous nation did homage to this class of cattle. Such is the absurd infirmity of great minds. The worship of this Apis is not more surprising than the elevation of the imported "servile progeny of Ham" to the dictatorship of the Anglo-Saxon people of this age and country. We are ready to close our gates even to the European with his genius and history, but decree it a sacrilege to hint that a creature out of a rude hut in a South em, swamp, with mind, manners and motives hardly above a gorrilla, is not fit to direct and dominate the "first nation in the fore files of time." It is a physical eccentricity. The human mind, like the banyan tree, Smallest Hair Throws a, Shadow." C, FRIDAY, December 21, 1888. after seeing the sun and shooting toward the zenith, stoops again to kiss the dirt. These are the reflections that must force themselves upon men who loathe "practical politics," but with the sea chart of history before them mark the currents that have wrecked empires. Patriots ought to use the past as a lens to the future. The overthrow of a party has only one significance, as direc ting the eye to the quickening motion and whirl in the waters that alarm. The maelstrom is on that tack. GRATUITOUS ADVICE. Plant. The New York Herald reads a lecture to the Southern Democrats on the subject of party management and white supremacy at the South, and offers a creat deal of gratuitous advice; both are utterly uncalled for and the Herald and all other Nor thern papers may as well learn once for all that their advice is not wanted and their lectures considered imper tinent. The Democrats of the South are fully capable of managing their own affairs and when they need advice and help they will ask for it; then will be time enough to tell us what we ought to do and how we should vote The Herald says for nearly four years the Democratic party, as the party in power, has been ruled in Congress by an immense Southern majority, and yet the Southern men in Congress have accomplished noth ing but the defeat of their party. The Herald has made a great mis take it was not the Southern Dem ocratic members of Congress that defeated Cleveland, but it was Northern bribe money, used in buy ing enough unprincipled men at the North to defeat the will of the people. the Herald laments the fact that the politicians of the South are still trying to hold solid the Southern white vote. Of course it does, it is now a full blooded Republican pa per, and therefore wants the whites of the South to divide so its party can slip in and gain control; this is why it is so generous with its advice. The color line, the supremacy of the white race, are expressions which the Northerners now say are mere twaddle, and sensible Democrats should put them aside. Yes, we understand very well why they think so; they know that they can never overcome that political argument with the Southern white men. All we want is to be let alone. We think we are able to manage our own affairs, but if we are not, we are the sufferers and are willing to take the consequences; so keep your ad vice to yourselves.' SOUND TO THE CORE THE BIRMINGHAM AFFAIR. Compared with the absolute neces sity of maintaining inviolate the supremacy of this principle the life of one man, or of many men, becomes nsisrmncant. It is a terrible thing to savagely take human life, but a more terrible thing: than that would be to set lawlessness above law, and to set aside the formally constituted courts of the land for those of Judge Lynch. Philadelphia Ledger. f AS ' LATE NEWS. Miss Helen Blair Iredell, daughter j of ex Governor Iredell, is dead. j The Fayetteville Messenger, the j only paper published in the interest j of the Knights of Labor in North; Carolina, has suspended. We learn from our exchanges that Gen. W. P. Roberts, our State Auditor, is mentioned prominantly in connection with the position of Adjutant General. Rev. Dr. C. E. Taylor, President of Wake Forest College, makes an appeal for money for that institution. He says that $50,000 is needed at the earliest possible moment as an essen tial condition for the larger useful ness of the college. Ex. Capt. S. B. Alexander says he did not authorize the publication which was recently made that he was a stralghtout candidate for Senator Ransom's seat in the United States Senate. He says he will not enter the race against Ransom under any circumstances. If Ransom is not the choice of the Democratic members of the Legislature he may become a candidate, but as yet he has not full made up his mind. Ledger. The working force on the Chowan & Southern Railroad is now spread out all the way from SuftVk to Tar boro. The piles for the bridge over the Chowan river at Tunis are in place. These roads, in the north- eastern part of the State, will open a timber country unmatched in the South. The timber interest is already very important. There are already twenty saw mills near New Berne, which are now cutting 240.000 feet of lumber daily. In Beaufort countv fourteen mills are cutting 300,000 feet daily. FOR A WONDER, THE CON GRESSMEN ARE RIGHT. Many Democratic office-holders are preparing to hand in their resignations before the 4th of March, so that they may be spared the pain of removal when Harrison becomes President. This is a policy that ought to be dropped at once, and Democratic Con gressmen are writing to the men they had appointed advising them to hold on to the places and force the Republi cans to make removals. They ought, the Congressmen believe, to hold out to the last, in order to test Harrison's sincerity with regard to what he has said about the spoils system. Besides there is no use in giving up a salary until one is compelled to, even though it comes through Republican administration. Washington letter in Richmond Dis patch. SUDDEN DEATH. The Norfolk Ledger of the 17th, under head, says: This morning about 11 o'clock Capt. McGinnis, of the lighthouse steamer, died suddenly of heart disease. He was apparently in good health a few minutes previ ous. He went to an out-house in the buoy.yard, and on leaving it he fell dead. Dr. F. S. Hope was called, and after examining the body an nounced that death was caused as stated. V Y -JlsXJs C i rcul i ( ! 1 Ln r jo . Price JVrVcir $l.CO Slnyle Copy Km Yiii NO. 185.
