STANDARD NOTES.
The Georgia House of Itepresenta
tirei has passed a bill malting Rob
ert E. Wa birthday a State holi
day. The negroes had a Confederate re
union in Georeia recently. The
driters, teamsters, servants and la
borers connected with the Confeder.
ate army took part in the reunion
These did their part well, and are
worthy of praise for their devotion
and faithfulness.
Some Northern paper is busying
itself as to who will succeed Senator
Vance. This seems to amuse our
North Carolina papers, as with our
people there had never been any
question as to that If the railroads,
or any other factors, combine against
our Zeb it will be with them a3 it
was with the Billy goat that tried to
butt the engine from the track.
We have received Dr. Grissom's
62-page pamphlet, reviewing his late
trial and defending himseif. To
those unacquainted with the details
of the trial it would seem an ample
justification, but of. course Dr. Gris
som avail himself of the opportu
nity of putting his own construction
on things and facts connected with
the trial. It is ably written, as one
would expect from one of Dr. G 's
scholarly attainments. It is not so
bitter as was his late card in the
News and Observer attacking Gov.
Fowle.
DEATH OF MRS. CHRISTIAN.
Mrs. TV. E. Christian died at her
home in Charlotte last Friday morn
.ng. This lady was better known to
the Southern people, or we might
say to the world, as Stonewall Jack
sou's daughter, his only child. The
hearts of our people are saddened by
this news. Besides and above the
sympathy which our people feel for
those of her family whose hearts are
torn by this great sorrow id the sad
ness which comes over us when we
remember that she was the only child
of the great and honored chieftain
whose life was sacrificed in devotion
to our cause, and whose memory will
ever be cherished as a priceless heri
tage. An interesting account of her I
death and a sketch of her life will
be found on our first page, taken
from the Charlotte Chronicle.
HAMPTON ON THE RACE QUESTION.
Senator Wade Hampton, of South I
Carolina, according to the Greenville
Newt, is in favor of colonizing the
negroes in some other country, South
America, Central America, or Mexico,
for instance. He saya the United
States is able to purchase sufficient
land for the purpose, and that the
plan ii feasible. Where two races
are in such close relations as are the
whites and blacks in this country
there will be one of these results :
One race must migrate, or one will
be exterminated, or they must amal
gamate. If this is a true statement
of the case, as given by the senator,

Either
condition would be accepted before
amalgamation. This is a grave and
serious question, in the solution of
which every thinking white person
is more or less interested. Unfortu

existing conditions that its import
ance is not appreciated. The changes

We are glad to state that the

with severe attacks of typhoid fever,
is very flattering, as they are now
considered out of danger.
The mail carrier on the Big Lick
route, who engaged board one and
a-half miles from town, has decided,
after calculating that on the run of

the village henceforth.
The editor of the Stanly Observer
is energetically pushing ahead to get

The idea that a United States mar
shal commits an excusable homicide
when he shoots to death an unarmed
man who slaps a judge's face, as was
recently the case in California, is
new view of the crime of homicide
as understood in these ends of the
earth. Yet this is the view taken
by the Northern press generally of
the killing of J tidge Terry, and it
is instructive to note with what fa
cility the Southern press adopts it
The New York Times is a note-worthy
exception among the Northern
papers, and its views are always enti
tied to respect. If Judge Field
himself had shot and killed Judge
Terry the case would have been very
different, but to say that the marsha
who did so, not being attacked him
self, acted judiciously and within
the law, is to lay down monstrous
doctrine. Statesville Landmark.
The dissatisfaction about the Fed
eral appointments seems to be getting
worse. This is not a good sign.
We generally look for a calm after a
storm but our correspondents in all

up a monster petition to the Presi

the mistake into which the President
has been led. Greensboro North

over fences and through farms un
til worried down and was then shot
by Mr. Mallison. The foot is five
and one-quarter inches broad, and
as large as a man's hat. This is the
thirty-second bear Mr. Mallison has
caught in the same trap. New

D,
My Dear Doctor :
I drop you a line to let you
know that I am well and hear
ty ; but I am still troubled
with insomnia can't sleep at
night, your dogs keep up
such a barking on moonlight
nights. My family there!
please don't give me away ! If
the fair sex on your little
planet once find out I am a
married man I would thence
forth lose all attraction for
them. I take great interest in
Cabarrus people, but as you
have for the past few weeks
been " under a cloud," I have
not seen much of you ; but of
course you are all driving
ahead as usual. There never
was, since the scaffolding was
taken down from the Tower of
Babel, such a stirring, thrifty,
wide-awake little city as Con
cord, anyhow. Even your cats
sleep with one eye open! and
the burglars, after visiting
forty-one houses and finding
everybody on the premise?, in
the deadest hours of the night,
wide-awake, have concluded
you are not to be caught nap
ping and have given you up as
a bad lot. Taking the interest
I do in your affairs, let me
suggest that you utilize, at
once, your water route to the
seaboard. Put on a line of
first-class steamers toWilming
ton, to run up Rocky Kiver
and thence up Buffalo to the
railroad depot. This will give
you what you so badly need
a competing line with the
Richmond and Danville. I
regret to see that vou are still
TRYING to raise corn and
cotton in your county. Rm'K
is the crop for you. This will
answer for the staff of life,"
and by instituting Duck farms
on the low lands and 'Possum
farms on the up lands you can,
with your abundant supply of
fish, have an ample stock ot
meat Raise rice, fish, ducks,
'possums, blackberries and
persimmons, and cut loose from
corn, cotton, razor-back hogs
and chattel mortgages. Send
me a pound or two of Bromide
of Potash, and oblige,
Your friend,
The Man in the Moox.
Comment on the above is
unnecessary. My fiiend evi
dently understands the agri
cultural situation, but forgets
to tell you that I have the
largest and cheapest lot of
Paints, Oils, Drugs, Tobacco,
Cigars, Picture Frames, Fancy
Goods and Toys in town. Now
is the time to buy Fruit Pow
ders, Turnip Seeds and Qui
nine. Call and see my stock
or you will regret it.
