The small contingent of the Kentucky guM Democrat had their convention - at Louisville Wednesday. They hal ex-Secretary Carlisle there, to give it tone, we Ujo5e for Mr. Car lisle is now to all intents and purines a citizen of 'ew York, where he has lx-en residing since going-out of ollice. The convention went through the cut and dried programme, and as might have Inec expected, did some denouncing. If de nounced the free and unlimited coinage of. silver hut failed! to stafe whether it,was in favor of silver coinage which wain't free ami unlimited. It also .de nounced unjust taxes, hut this is a regular old stereotypes of nearly all conventions hy what ever name they may he called. The interesting feature of the platform enunciated is the de claration in favor of currency laws, so as to maintain the stan dard of the world, and furnish abound, stable and sunieieut currency of gold and silver. If this means anything, it means that gold and silver shall be.tho only money, ami yet the gen tlemen who declare fop this ex elusive gold and silver, curren cy, pledge themselves to resist the, fn-. ami unlimited coinage of one of the metals which is to furnih this currency. They have gone upon record already as being opposed not only to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, but to any more coin age of silver, save subsidiary coins, contending that wet al ready have more silver coined than we have aiiy use for. They have been characterizing silver r.s -pot metal. -junk. Vc. no longer lit for money. They have no idea of favoring silver in any way. but are aiming to permanently establish gold monometallism and make j the ' gold dollar the only genuine money, the only" debt pac ing dollar. AH their talk about a sutlicient' currency is siihnly rot. Morning Mar. THE-WHITE PEOPLE OF RICH N!0D HUMILIATED ! I Ytl.loro Me3'ner.) ! The board of education of Uiehmoud county, composed of two white men and one negro, has elected two negroes as school committeemen in each of the townships "of the county. These negro committeemen will have jurisdiction over white schools and wi'll have power to say who shall, and who shall not. teach in them. Doubtless, in many instances, it will be necessarv lor wnue lauies 10 - either apply to these employment, or emigrate to a . ' cunty wnose pontics are noi "controlleii by snch men as the DockerysLongs ami Smiths. It is truly a sad commentary irpon.the degeneracy of the An glo-Saxon race that white men can so far forget their mothers', wives, sisters and children as to pul negroes. in autority over them!and what makes the mat ter intinitely worse, this, dis graceful thing has been done simply to strengthen the hold of thi men who are responsible for it;uiou the negro vote of the count v. WATER WORKS. The popular demand for wa ter works in Eliz. City is such a positive ami pronounced sent iment that we are disposed to aid the authorities of the (town in every way we can to furnish us the protection against fire that a good system of water works would afford. Vo have always regarded it as a prime necessity to the prosperity of the town. Therefore it is that wo republish a clipping Jbelow from the 'Winston Sentinel showing what AVinstoir-has done in the same situation we are now in and how it has found a profit from a system of water works of its own. We hope our city fathers will put .them selves in communication with the town authoritiesbf Winston and learn froim their example and experience, "in which we have no doubt they would aid us in every way they could. - We think water works are an essential element of our prosperity, and an absolute nec essity to our protection in case of fire to which our past history shows we are so liable at any time. There is probably no householder in this town, but can add his own sad tale of loVs and suffering from fire. There fore, we were glad when Mr. Hall, the agent of a 'Huffalo syndicate wan here negotiating with the. Commissioners for a franchise to establish a system ot water works in Elizabeth City. If we could not do better we wanted his proposition ac cepted, but we preferred it to be done by o.ur own people, and therefore we suggested to Mr. Sanders, who has had some cxierience in supplying water in his vicinage, that he should put in a bid for tin? franchise. If our Commissioners should fail to establish a first-class sys tem of waterworks for the town we hope they will grant the ex clusive privilege to Mr. Sanders to establish in several localities in the town a system of driven wells and reservoirs similar, to the one he'has on Poindexter street for:, supplying-water to his neighborhood. His experi ence In that one might suggest some improvements. It is a great benefit and considerable protection to . the locality against fire. -Wo beg to sug gest a grenjer ejevation to the reservoir aim a more abundant supply of water from increased number of pumps. W e subjoin extracts from City Engineer Magruders Report, of the wa ter works in Winston, to the Hoard of Aldermen. Winston has now a population of 15,0m) inhabitants. Citv Engineer Magruder pre sented the following report of the water works to the "Hoard of Aldermen : Amt. of collections for quarter ending June o, . - 155.8 HsI. due for quarter un collected 20 Sinn Annl 1st. ten 1!W water consumers have been gained, paying an annual ren tal of 5:5.50. And two newl hvdrants have been- placQcIijj makinir a total number of 14 Q ( Jfl r, hvdrants J The new dwell if, for the engineer of the pun in' station has been completed at a cost of s4r.o.57. Since June K,th the dailv consumption of water has been :5,ooo gallons. For several months prior to that time it was V.o,ooo gallons. Sine December I, !;, we have been keeping close records of the work done at the pumping station and find that -17 per cent of the water has been pumped by the water power pump which shows the value of the old wa ter wheel which was repaired in November. The steam pumps deliver H':. gallons of water in the reservoir for every ton of coal consumed. The annual receipts from the water for the vear ending May II, is:: . . . vlu-?.o$ Add to this m hydrants at s2" each per an num (which was the rate paid bv the old water company) . r,,oo.oo Water rents for City Hall and Market House 'paid to old company . . . : . . . 1 15.00 Total rtx-cipts Sls-V.iT.os The expenditures are as fol lows : '. 1 ' , Iirt.oiiliomls(ltf2,) a to per' cent ??5,Hd.C0 Operating expenses and repair 5,154.36 Amount of net revenue $5,0:5,55 Right Prices You un pay more money for a bicycle, but you can not aecurt a machine of klgber grade than the Ocr ctrd. or ooe that will pleaa you better. 1 WESTERN WHEFL WORKS 7 i I North Carolina seems to be classed as a land of abund ant opportunities rather, than abundant fruitage, and if the reign of the negroes and low whites continues much longer in Republican hands we greatly fear it will be without oppor-j- tunities or fruits of good gov ernment. It is certainly worse off now than any State in the South or the Union. NEWS FROM iTHE COUNTIES- i 1 ; CAMDEX. 1 : ; CorHTnor&E.i-Mr. i C. S.
