CROW N, JR. of IVaufort. For Solicitor Fint District: GEORGE V, WARD, of Pasquotank. OH! DON'T' ' We felt quite happy last week at being able to say a kind and approving word about our pus sy Executive who lolls in the bier chair at the Governor's mansion in Raleigh. But the ink was hardly dry on our edi torial commending the em phatic style in which Governor Russell had contradicted a slander of Adjutant Corbin about North Carolina's quota .of troops in the Spanish war, and in which wo had. advised Russell to cuss Corbin, when we saw in the Raleigh newspa era, a low, scurrilous letter, signed J. 31. w bourne, Super intendent of the Penitentiary, in reply to a courteous and respectful note, from Hon. F. .31. Simmons, chairman of the Dem. Ex. Committee, of North "Carolina, asking for ofllcial in formation in the office of the Penitentiary Superintendent. The letter . is signed "Mcw- bourno" but,tho Raleigh papers say it is an open secret that it was written, by one Russell. Why Russell put onMewbournes mask we know not. 31 ay be it was because ho was or is an expert in dirtiness. Maybe it is that he wants to unload his pistol on somebody, as he can't get up with Baglcy.' Perhaps . BayJus, the Cade, a "tramp preacher" advised Russell how to do it. Russell is getting rusty, and being in a morbid condition of cussedness, and having had but littlo experience since he shelled Bagley from behind a breast work of pistols and shot guns, ho thought he must cuss somebody or ho would have to go to the land of tho cussed. He looked around for a negro to cuss and call "savago" and not finding one, " he looked around for a man he thought he could whip, and unfortunately Chairman Sim mons came along, about that -time,and Russell having sized liim ud concluded from Ilia build that he was not much on his muscle, and he forthwith found a friend' named 3Iew- berno and a ready servant named Baylus,and between the three- they gave Rus a job to cuss Simmons. Simmons had asked for some ofllcial informa tion of Mewbournc about the penitentiary, and he," regarding theonanagement of the pen as a private job and jun in tho in terest of Republican .convicts, he gave . Rus the job and Rus was happy, in the impression that Simmons was a harmless man because he was put up in a small package, but when Rus has moreiexperience of" life he will -find .that the mysterious voltaic force flashes more rap idly over a small man, and that a small man will knock you ddwn two seconds quicker than a big-bellied, long backed, swag legged, big-footed speci men, like the big bull of the rice fields of .the Cape Fear. And tho fight now flagrant be tween tho burly cussing Gov ernor of North Carolina and the Chairman of the State Dem ocratic Executive Committee is an illustration. 2fow, as wo proceed, we arc compelled to luexcususe our "worthy Chairman for his indis cretion. Simmons is a gentle man; Russell is a blackguard, and a rowdy, a street brawler, who has, notoriously, been os tracised from decent social as sociation in Wilmington, where he was born. He -deals in bil lingsgate, and lurid execra tions. Ho is ignorant of the unwritten laws of hospitality ,and morals. He has a white servant near him who is ready to - swear to a lie for him and was probably employ ed for that purpose. If the un- nntrnilirtpd reports about Raleigh be true, ho inyited a negro to his hospitable board in Raleicrh. and then cussed tho T(rTct hocauso he spat on his carpets. As the Republican Governor of North Carolina, and tho first in over twenty years, it would have become him to hand the "savage a cuspidor or hand . him his mou- ehoir to spit on. Kussell is a fit representative of the low white leaders of the Republican party in North Carolina. We think Chairman Simmons had enough reserved capital in- I vested in decency to let Russell pass sub silentio. It- would have been tasteful. It would have been dignified. It would have been discreet and proper. It was due to a white man of his party. But if his judgment approved" a different course, then he did it well. If your blood la tmn, appetite poor, troubled with night weat. a bad ccIJ or LaOrinne take Robert s chill touto. All drutrulsts. RALEIGH THE WEAK SPOT. Henry Clay, in his speech on tho "removal of tho deposits in 18.12, after pouring a torrent of invective upon the charac ter of Andrew Jackson, uttered these words: "We are in the midst of a revolu tion, hitherto bloodless, but rapidly tending to the con centration of all power into the hands of one man." It was often said tof the great Ken tuckian by his admiring con temporaries that he was born for military command. He was maernetic. full of resource, of unwavering moral and physical courage, great in defeat as in victory. Once, in Norfolk, Hugh Blair Grigsby, one of the few great men Norfolk, Va., has ever produced in its long history, holding a bust of Clay inhishand,said tqus,"There, is a great master among men. Every pound of flesh, every wave of the hand, every tone of his voice was a magnet that drew men around him.obedient to hi . command. We are in the midst of a dangerous revolution more because a more insidious one. Tho Revolution that 3Ir. Clay spoke of was from tho con centration of power into tho hands of one man. The re volution that we have to fear, now, is a revolution from the political conflict of race. l.iko that 01 .Mr. uiay, it is "hitherto bloodless," but unless it is arrested at the bal lot box by that great white race which has always asserted its mastery of all the races, it must ultimately como to "blood." It must bo so, for those that God has "put asun der" cannot be made one, even at the cost of "blood." It is His decreel He has placed our remedy plainly before us, and we must colabor with Him in using the remedy he has given us, or pay the penalty ot our neglect in "blood" and slaugh ter. , w nen iom Jarvis, then a young man with a downy chin, said in a public speech, at Fay- etteville, in 18G3, that it was the duty of the white Demo crats to turn their backs on all men who voted with the Re publicans and negroes, and so cially : ostrociso advico 1 was not men shok their them, heeded. heads, that Old and But the unwise something was said about the j indiscretion of youth, advico ,was somewhat It was impracticable, then and now. Negroes are not to blame They" are the pitiable dupes of low . and - designing white leaders who are a dis grace to the negroes. Some Republicans are good men and not. to blame. All of us have some friends among them that wo could not cut loose from. ' Some, are credulous,' some amiable; some easily mis led. some do not recocrnise the imminent danger of our ranej and our family relations. The leaders are bad men and oughtj to be driven out , of. our State bv all ioeacable means rather than, wait and wait until the1 1 evil is wiped out in blood. But our object is more practif cal. We are on the skirmish The crews of all the life saving sta tions in this district have been to Eliz abeth Citv for physical examination, pre para tor for the active service be ginning August 1. ' ' 8. L. JJ. line of flict in the political ; race conj North Carolina. The 1 lino is a loner one and weak- in in some parts. For several reasons Raleigh is the weakest point in the line. It is our so cial andpoltical centre. Itsin- fluenco socially and politically is greater than any other place in the the State. It .is a tony place, and yet more politicaj degredations; . and outrages are committed there : than any where .else in , the State. Re publican State conventions in Raleigh are an abomination in the sight of God and man. The late Republican convention as described by one 01 our 1 . 1 young friends who was present in tho crallerv.was a mixture of pandemonium and asefortida that wouldhave made the Leg islaturo of 1SC8 turn red with i: . I shame. It has frequently been said to us that prominent white officials are ; sometimes seen 1 arm-in-arm, . on Fayetteville street with negroes. A. Judge of the Superior Court, tho Ral eigh papers say, went into p shoo in Ralelerh to cret a social 1 1 drink with a negro who was with him, and when the negro was refused,, he left the shop with his friend, in great wrath and his profanity would have done honor to Russell, The "pit from which" that judgp "was digged" was the sim- ian nest, it is saia, out, we think, the roots of his ancestral tre6 run back' to Congo or Tim buctod. .
