The account of the outrage by a tramp mulatto on the persou of a lit tle girl ueur Asheville and the sub sequent lynching of the perpetrator, should bring the question of the present campaign to a careful consideration of every mail who believes in good government. It is an undeuial fact that three fourths ot our councts are negroes, and three fourths of the Republican par ty in North Carolina are negroes. Years ago we had this rule of Re publicans; this domination of negroes and carpet baggers. The result was hmkrupcy and ruin to our State. Luan tteguuaiiK 10 nr onan we have a party three fourths of whom l elong to a race that fill our jails and penitentiaries, to lord it ovei us or shall we have au administration, as ar present, that gives justice to each aud every man, be he white or black. "Give to every man his due' is an old adage. Let us apply it to races and party's, When the Repub lican party of NorhL Carolina, the majority ot whomre fcqlflred, show by example they.-aitfe&fento- govern, th?n give them a trial, aud not be fore. Third party men think of what will befall our State if through your aid we are again in the hands of a party whote record is a shame and disgrace to our good old State. The internal the Tariff bill revenue clause of was unexpectedly reuohed on July 16th. Amendments wore made by Mr. Nichols, Col. Cowles aud Col. Johuston, of N. C. All these amendments to the present Internal revenue system were defeat ed by a vote of 26 to 135 The whole of North Carolina's delegation voted for these proposed amendments. But leaders of the Republican party Pvl, Cannon, Hitt, Adam aad oth ers voted "against them. That is, after all the Republican hue and cry for internal repeal, their leaders voted against a repeal. This vote J was fairly and squarely brought be fore the House by a, motion of Mr. Johnston, of N. C, to provide for the repeal of internal revenue taxes on spirits distilled from grain or fruit of any kind. Mr. Johnston said that "he did not want free bran dy or free whisky, but he wanted to sec his people free from the oppres sion of an almost military law." Now with an internal revenue repeal plunk assertion in their platform aud the leaders voting in direct opo 6i tiou we ask every one if they can put any confidence in Republican ism, or in Republican promises. If tey are for repeal why not vote it. Mr. Johnston made a palpable hit when he asked after the vote was ta What has become of the Re publican party ? I thought it was going to vote with me." Sarah Parker, aged 13, daughter of Benjamin Parker, a respectable planter in the suburos, was crimi nally assaulted by a negro as she re turned Home irom tne city tnrougu a woods near her home. She was strangled and left senseless on the ground. Recovering she got to the house in a most pitabie condition. On her throat were the finger marks Re of th,i brute and her person had been terribly lacerated. A physician, in stall Hv summoned, considered her case a critical one. This is a special telegram from Asheville, dated the 16th., to, the Charlotte Chronicle of Tuesday morning ; and the same special goes on to tell us that the arrest of John Humphries, a mulato South Caroli nian was the result of this assault He was identified by his victim and a party of masked men overpowered the jail authorities, took the negro and hansred him to a limb in 300 yards of the jail. These tramp negroes who wander from plooe to place pretending to be in search of work are nine times out of ten, fleeing from justice. Our Southern land is full of such trash and we regret to say the majority belong to the colored race. There is no white or black citizen who is honest and industrious that cannot at all times secure remunerative la bor where he is known. Let us stop the tramp. The wages offered in every community to the laborer is at least a good living, and honest men stay at home. Tramps and fleers from justice are n I ling our jails and penetentiaries. Let us stop it. Vetoes. The Prssident is being bitterly as sailed bv the Republicans of the Senate for vetoing private pension bills. He is said to be assuming un warranted legislative powers. tor the lite ot us we cannot see what else the President can do but obey the law by regarding his oath of office and following the dictates o his judgment and vetoing every leg islative act, whether of a private or public nature, which he adjudges inimical to the best interests of the people, whose servant he is and by whom he was elected. If it is his duty, and it is to the interests of the country, that he veto a bill involv iug the expenditure of thousands, it is likewise true of bills involvin the outlay of a few cents. There is no doubt of that. It is true that any of these pension bills would en tail the payment of a very triflin sum in comparison with the grea pile of surplus and idle money whic has been heaped up in the govern ment treasury, liut it must be re membered that dollars are made of cents, and hundreds of dollars, aud thousands of hundreds and so on The President should stop this pen sion leak wherever it is proper to do so. We may get some idea of the w ay the people's money goes by re membering that not many days ago the Senate passed 147 private pension bills in one hour and ten minutes. This wa3 at the rate of two in a minute. One of the things intend ed by the lodgment of the veto power in the hands of the President was that such hasty legislative work as thi3 might be checked for the pro tection of the people. Let it be borne in mind that the cases where in the position en by the Presi dent in vetoing a bnfaS success fully assailed are extremely few. The fact i3 our President has proved himself to be watchful, cou- servative, sagacious all around. Charlette Chronicle. How itnil For What Shall we be Taxed With the nominations made by both parties the country is launched upon the Presidential" Cauvaas in which, for the first time in many years, every voter may righl fully uiKe uie liveliest interest, it is no longer a mere question of persons or of party spoils; the issues on which both parties appeal to the people ,is one whjch affects the pockets of ev ery citizen, his comfort and welfare. 1 wenty three years after the close of the war we are still livinsr under the svstem of taxation, crude, ill ad justed, hastily flung together under the stress of war. Both parties have for many years promised to revise and reform this tax system, and both have repeatedly brok'en their prom ises. So long as there were bonds payable with the surplus taxes the Republicans refused reforms and concealed the oppression of the tar iff taxes by paying off bonds with the surplus receipts from needless and burdensome taxes. The redeem able bonds are exhausted, but still the iiepublicans refuse reform and now seek to waste the surplus taxes their war tariff forces from thefe ple on educational, pension, internal improvement and other schemes. President Cleveland and the Dem ocratic party stand for a reform of the war tariff and the abolishin g of surplus taxation. They appeal to the voters on this policy. A tariff for protection with Inci dental revenue, as McKinley, of Ohio, the writer of the liepuoncan tariff plank, has often put it, is the Republican demand. A tariff for revenue, wuu x . i.t. t: i Manful Protection, is the democratic j vum - ' i ground, as practically laid down in the Mills Dinanu iu me AC't""v message. . " A high tariff and low wages is tne publican offer; tree raw materia T and hiffh wages is the Democratic 0 i offer. Between these two radically op rtnsin? Policies me vuccxs mum choose in November. It is a hap- nv event for the men chosen to rep resent these pontics vueiuu uu 'T1" tt- a nr..fn nf inurman aim nurueuu nuumuiwu aht honorable aic on -r.:o-- man onilthat.no side issues oi per- ornal rharar.ter or fitness need inter- fere with the thorough discussion ot the two great policies on which the nar ties have ranged themselves, air. Cleveland's wise and conservative administration has done away with the fears which in 1884 caused so many voters, against their judgment, to support the itepubiican camu- it date. The country, as every oouy sees, is as safe and as prosperous un- der Democratic as under itepuoiican rule. The political scarecrow o . mi. 1: .- I,-. ..

Upon my return here this aftenoon, I find that no reply as yet has been recieved to his letter, and that Mr. Whitaker ha been called out of the State by the sickness of his mother, where he may be detained some time, I invite you, therefore, on Wedns - or Thursday next, at such hour as you may consider" couvenient,to meet me at the parlor of the lai boro House in this city to agtee on joint appointments for discussions be- tween you and myseli. If the time or place I have designated is not convenient to you l win meet you ai any place or time you may indicate. No appointments heretofore made for me shall stand in the way jof a joint canvass between us. Very respectfully, Daniel G.

Ed The Republican party established the internal revenue system, main tained it and defended it during all the years it was in power, and has now nominated for President a man who is equarely on record as having voted against repealing it. Let the Goldsboro Atgus tell the tale Un Friday, February 16t., 1883. the Senate having under cosidera- tion H.R. 55,38 to reduce internal revenue taxation. Senator Brown offered an amendment as follws "And all laws now in force assessing a tax or providing for the collection of a tax, known as internal revenue laws, on wnisuey and brandy are hereby repealed." On this amend ment tne yeas and nays were called and Senator Harrison voted in the negative and is so recorded. See Uongreseional Record, vol. xiv, p. 2787, 47th Congress, 2d session. . With Mr. Harrison having made this record on the burning question of our politics, and with MY. MrmAv- Bags Morton suing ns for the spec ial tax bonds which his party friends issued and appropriated.it is not to be wondered at that the Republican of North Carolira are not. able to get up any steam in behalf of their national ticket. Statesville Land mark. ' The coroner's jury hae decided that the disaster at Orange Court house, on the Virginia Midland Railroad, was caused by the rotten timbers. The authorities ought to be made to suffer. How long will the law making power of the State and of the United States prefer div dends to life ? Make every railroad fill up every trestle.

A gigantic mur- 0f trade building, several other large buildings, and to murder Judge Grinnell, Judge Gary, Inspector Bonfield and other prominent per- son8 engaged in the prDsecution during the celebrated trial of the anarchists, was nipped in the bud by Inspector Bonfield, Chief Hub- bard, : Lieutenant Elliott and tne Central detectives today. The means to be used in the wholesale murder and destruction of property were the Anarchist's weapon, dyna- mite, and enough of the explosive was discovered today to blow up half the city Conspirators are aheady under arrest, and are confined at the city hall. Everybody supposed that the trouble with the revolutionary spirit among them had died out, but it seems a conspiracy has been brew injf among the friends of Spies, Par sons and the rest, and a diabolical plot was hatched, and hundreds of lives were to be taken. Inspector Bonfield.it is said, has been aware of the conspiracy for some time, but ne wated until the evidence was completed. Cheat the Callows. Wilmington, N. C.July 17. After all Potts cheats the gallows, Anoth er sensation swept the city last night, W.A.Potts, Jr., who was to be hang ed today for the murder of Paul Lincke made a second and this time a successful attempt to kill himself. About 8 o'clock last night he eluded his keeper for a few moments and took a dose of chloral and morphine, dying about midnight. How he pro cured the drug is a matter of myste ry. There is much subdued excite ment and bad feeling about the mat ter and public censure is likely to be visited upon certain parties. Potts' body is now lynching in his cell ready for burial, and larjce crowds are passing in and reviewing the remaies. Almost the entire coun ty believed the tragedy would end as it has. but as the prisoner failed in his first attempt to destroy him self, it was hoped that sufficient precaution would be taken to pre vent the suicide. The old idea that the Jews wil finally re-inhabit Palestine is again before the public ma new shape. A Jerusalem correspondent writes that the Holy City is fast becoming again the city of the Jews In 1880 there were not more than 5,000 Jews there; now there are more than 30, Recent Russian persecutions have led thousands to make their homes there, and although the Tur kish government forbids all Jews who are not resident of Jernsalem to remain longer than thiity days, yet a judicious application of bribes en ables them to stay there as loner as they please without molestation Wealthy Jews have built hospitals and founded homes, and many of the refuges who are poor live "from the charity of their brethren. m ii Horse Cars X Longer.
