We are not responsible for the views of correspondents. Anonymous communications go to the waste basket. The Concord Register wants the whipping post re-established in this State and says it would be hailed with delight by the intelligent por tion of our people. We say watch the man and his party. A conference of the leading col ored men of Virginia is called to convene in Washington, D. C., on the 15th inst., to consider the politi cal situation and the future course of the colored people. Among those invited are A. W. Harris, P. J. Car ter, J. W. Cromwell, W. C. Roan e and J. T. Wilson. What does it mean ? What do the colored men of North Carolina think of it ? OVER TO STATESVILLE. We spent last Wednesday in Statesville. On our arrival Tues day night, we found Elder Goslin in full blast, conducting a protracted meeting. The meeting seemed to be quite interesting, having four or five conversions that night. After plodding around in the mud some time in the dark, wo found ourselves well out among the oaks under the roof of that good old Christian, Mr. Hiram Allison. Wednesday morning we visited Mr. D. R. Stoke’s school, and found a goodly number of boys and girls busy with books and slates. After leaving Stokes we found the school we were looking for. The one in the Methodist Church, taught by Miss Annie one of the most accomplished teachers in this sec tion. Here we found everything in working order, and the children moved by the sound of the bell. In this school there are 87 enrolled pu pils, and they are thoroughly taught. We find the colored people around here in tolerable circum stances, many of them owning their littlo homes, and a few in small business for themselves. The old town shows its age, though a new house sets about here and there. Mr. R. D. Bailey has a nice little grocery store in the lower part of the colored masonic building. Mrs. Gay is fitting up a nice two story building, and after two or three weeks it will not be so hard for a stranger to get lodging in the town. The town is liberally wet, politic ally speaking, being the headquar ters of this collection district, and having a set of coalition-liberal wet municipal officers. LIBERALISM. While we do not intend to turn our attention to party nor factional fights just now, we will say we hope tho leadrs of liberal of coalition party will use some discretion in the man agement of affairs so far as the col ored man is concerned. It is feared that the colored man’s chances are worse than with the old repub lican party. Our attention is often called to thedismissal of some colored man in government service whose place is filled by a liberal. To the names of Schenck, Wood ward and Harlhe, we add Henry Hall late agent on the C. C. Road who was removed to make a place for a iaithful liberal from Bladen county, which was one of the strong est counties west of the Cape Fear. It is absolutely necessary for the republican party to unite if they hope to succeed in ’B4. It is neces say for the leaders to respect the colored voters of the State if they mean to count on the colored vote We hope to see what is known as the Keogh and the Mott factions united and agreeing, but the liberals had better learn one thing very soon, the colored people have been badly disappointed in them. We have been maltreated and in sulted by them, and by the eternal, we aro not going to continue to sub mit to all the insults and injustices and then be driven to the polls and voted against our own wishes for the sake of a few selfish disaffected democrats. We were told to our teeth a few days ago that the Messenger is run in the interests of the democratic party. Not so. But the Messenger nor the friends of the colored peo ple—true republicans white and col ored, are not going to bo sneered at and driven against their consciences in that manner. The Messenger is supported by the money and gen eral sentiment of the colored people and we are determined to defend them to the best of our ability. We know our strength and we know what our people want. Let the lib erals throw every colored man out of office and then they will know their true situation without being told. We are republicans at heart. We regret it is our pecu liar nature to be somewhat muleish, but sensible men must use common sense in their dealing with us. Our Washington Lsttor. Washington, D. C. Feb. 7, 1883. Every one wishes to know what disposition will be made of the tar iff bill but its outcome is as yet purely a matter of conjecture. Rep resentative Carlisle, of Kentucky, says that the passage of a tariff bill at this session is a physical impossi bility. On the other hand it is said that the Republicans of the House will permit the discussion to go on long enough to satisfy the country beyond all dispute that the Demo crats will defeat the bill if possible, and then they will turn in and pass it as it came from the Ways and Means Committee. It cannot be denied that tho large proportion of advanced thinkers of both parties are at heart in favor of a protective tariff and in fact I find upon inves tigation that almost every member of the House, has his own pet indus try, which must be protected against the long-established and well-ap pointed manufacturing houses of foreign countries. As a party, however, the Republicans appear before the country in the interest of protection while the Democrats are associated with free trade. The legitimate object of the protective tariff is and should be the stimulus defenco and support to American industries, and not as is often falla ciously urged the means of high wages, a thing which is always de termined by the relations of demand and supply in labor. If such a tar iff gave to the workingmen of this country high wages, why are wages higher in free-trade England than in protective Germany and in our own country ; higher in the West than in the East. The farmers, working-men and shop hands should not be deceived by the eloquent but subtile and sophistic harangues of their professed Republican friends who advance the high tariff theory. The presence of monopolists’ agents in the lobbies, and millionaires in the Halls of Congress, forebodsa more evil to the people than any re- duction from the present high tariff] laws. In the proportion that mil lionaires and the heads of large manufacturing houses gravitate to wards Congress, will the tariff of this country become distinctively high protective. Senator Logan, who is a tremen dous worker, gave notice in the Senate Saturday that he would offer an amendment to the sun dry civil appropriation bill pro viding that the act to place colored soldiers on the same footing as oth er soldiers as to bounty and pen sions, be so construed as to extend to and include the heirs of such sol diers in their claims for military service ; and that the accounting of ficers of the treasury be authorixed and directed to readjust the claims of such heirs as would have been entitled to and who have been de nied the benefit of said act. The Committee on Elections have given an adverse decision in the case of Lee w. Riehardson, yet it is gratifying to know that Represen tive Calkins, of Indiana, Chairman of that Ibmmitteo. has introduced a bill to provide for the payment to •him of 64,713 as contesting expen ses. Lynch and Smalls will receive, according to the bill, 6i529 and 63,- 842 respectively, as their contesting expenses. The Marriage of Brevet- Lieut. Copptnger, Major tenth infantry, United States array, to Miss Alice S. Blaine, eldest daughter of Hon. James G. Blaine, to dt place at the residence of the bride's parents yes terday at noon, and also of R. J. W. Coons, of Philadelphia, to Miss' Ma ry W. Brewster, stepdaughter of the Attorney-General, at the Epiphany church last evening. The most fashionable, wealthy and cultured of the society which America affords including President Arthur and cabinet were in attendance at these weddings. At the Bethel Library Society last evening, Mr. Cardozo read a scholarly and interesting paper, enti tied u An Evening with Shakespeare.” Mr. Cardoso is, it is needless to state, one of the moat thoroughly educated men we have, having been graduated at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Dr. Robt. Purvis has sworn out a warrant against W. C. Chase, of the Bee, for criminal libel. It appears that the defendant charged upon Dr. Robt. Purvis with pretending friendship to the colored race and Republican party, receiving 63,000 per annum out of poor negro earn ings, while circulating a paper for Democrats, who were negro haters, ete. The ease came np to-day in the Police court, but Judge Snell “said the question was one for a jury, and it was lent to the Grand Jury. Mr. George C. Senriock, of Fay etteville, is in this city, having been appointed to a 61,600 clerkship in the Pension Office. E.LT. An effort is being made to take the election of the mayor of our city from the people and give it to the Aldermen, having the board to con sist of thirteen instead of twelve, the odd man to tome from the First ward. When that is done the work of depriving the people of their suf frage will be about complete so far as this city is concerned.
