Dr. Abern thy could not find it in his heart to contribute to Re publican success by pursuing a for lorn hope for himself. He has the manliness, the -honesty to come s(piarely out and say what he thinks about it.' When first pre sented to him lie adopted the views of the Third party malingers and with gloves otV put up his hands and was ready for the fight. The Reverend Doctor even went so far as to say in a letter that those who charge that the Third party tends niore to the destruction of the Democratic than the Republican arty, are either ignorant or worse. ' Dr. Abernethy being. a fair-minded man, being a man striving for the right and seeking light, continued to investigate, continued to weigh ar guments pro and con until he finally saw that measurable success for the Third party means destruction to the Democratic-party, and consequently Republican rule. And being a North Carolinian, a patriot, he 'wisely de cides that Republican ascendency means probable disaster. XVj Welcome Dr. Abernethy back. are sorry he took the short jour ney away from us, but hope it may prove to him that there is no place like home. A iAKiE amlienee greeted Rev. Dr. Rohey last night, and lie spoke ahout one and a halt' hours. -He made a good speech, at times was .eloquent. Rut lie did not tell us how the Third party would keep us out ol' the hands of negroes in the east if the legislature goes Republican.- He did not discuss the issues of the cam paign as they are understood by the Democratic ami Republican parties. He had nothing to say of county government, and that is the question now presented to North Carolina. He talked Prohibition and offered that and that alone as the onlv tiling needful. AX KASY QUESTION. Here iq; an. easy question. It is easy enough for all to answer. JU't everybody read the question slowly : "If unprotected industries pay the same wages as those that are protected, are they not as valuable, and if so, why burden them by making them pay heavy taxes to the pro tected ones ?" But you ask at once,' and properly : 'Do unprotected industries pay same wares as protected industries?' AVe answer, oltener tlie unprotected pays more than the protected industry. Cotton is not protected. Iron is. All the laborers in the cotton fields, the plowmen, the pickers, all receive a greater 'per cent, of their product for waes than does the worker in iron. That is so, and if vou won't take our word for it, come around and see the figures. Haven t space to put them in now. .Is it fair, then, to tax an unpro tected industry ? Is it fair to tax all the laborers in the cotton held and in j thnttnn oin fnrthehpnefit oftheiron ! worker, when the iron worker gets, by that tax, no more than the cotton work er? Or, in other words, why tax one industry to benefit another industry, when experience shows that the in tended result does not follow? Why make the cotton farmer pay high prices for his plow when the plow maker thereby gets no more money ? Whv make the the cotton farmer pay high prices for bagging and ties when the very laborers that make those ties receive no more pay there for ? Shall we allow the farmer to continue to be gouged for the benefit of the iron mill owner? 'Letter vote' the Democratic ticket and in that way show your opinion on the subject. AliCliXATllV,' We Knew You'd Come Ho Re pudiates the Third Party. Correspondence to the State Chronicle. At the earnest solicitation of many friends, and after' mature and prayer ful rellection, 1 beg to withdraw my name as candidate for Superinten dent of Public Instruction on the Prohibition ticket. In the lengthen ing shadows of evening, Hearing my "three score years and ten," the es teem of my friends is more than ever dear to me. This, I am sure 1 should lose in a measure by my can didacy, while I am now convinced that evil would result thereby, both to prohibition and to .'my friends and fellow citizens in the State. 1 think my friends in North Carolina will testify that during my life 1 have never hesitated to follow7 where duty pointed- the way. The nomina tion came under the guise of duty, and I accepted. 1 now plainly see that this present Third party move ment will notonly imperil the white man s supremacy in the South,' but it will damage the cause ol Prohibi tion almost incalculably. Since the war, when I voted at all, my ballot has always been cast in favor of Democ racy ; ami as I am now, and always have been m full sympathy with that party on every question, except that of license, if, as it is plainly to be seen, one of the . old political parties must triumph in this contest, 1 shall not allow myself to be used as an in strumentality in putting my friends in North Carolina under the domin ion of negro' rii.e. Hence, 1 lierebv decline the candidacy and withdraw from the Third' party, and earnestly recommend my life-long: friend and brother, Alaj. S. -M. Finger, who is a Christian gentleman, a prohibition ist and a scholar, to all my prohibi tion brethren in the State. In the present situation, I earnestly advise the withdrawal ol the prohi bition ticket in North Carolina, and the support of- Democracy in the present contest. W e cannot afford to impose negro supremacy upon our lellow citizens. In an oil' year, (next year, if vou please,) I earnestly beg all good men of all parties to unite with me, out side of politics, in Diittinir this in- famy ot all infamies, the liquor traffic, out of our State. I am now an old man. Most of my life lies in the past ; how it has been consecrated to humanity, the people know. I And in this fight against the arch enemy of earth and heaven, though my sword be power less as Priam's, it shall strike for (iod and the Rurht. Yours truly, R. L. AnF.KNFniY, Newton E tiler trhe : Mr. Solomon Shruni takes the lead on tomatoes. He brought' one to this ofhee last Monday, which weighed 2G ounets. He gathers from live to ten bushels every morning. -Mr. Noah Siun nierrow has a i)umpkin, raised last year, which is iri a perfect state of j preservation, r lve grew on the same vine ; the others were used along in the spring. This pumpkin will be on exhibition at the fair, and 'Mr. Summerrow sends forth a challenge to any who think they can beat it. -Gov. John Lin h was in town Tuesday, and said the Democrats of Bandy's township are in first-rate fighting condition and can hardly wait for the first Tuesday in Novem ber to pile up their big vote. Till: GOSEPL TKUTI1. Ministers of the Gospel AVho'are Turning: Politicians Oujjht to Heed "Wise Counsel. Hon. M. W. Robbins in State.-villo Advocate. A'ou last week mentioned the tact that Bishop (iallowav has called a convention of the Prohibition forces in Mississippi, which I infer means that he is marshalling those who en tertain sentiments of that kind for some sort of a party contest at the polls in the election of this year. I observe in this State that minister of the gospel are conspicuous in or ganizing and promoting the "Third party,' so-called, one of them being its nominee for Governor, and others for other political positions, while others are active in forming clubs of -that part faith. I even notice that your own paper is rapidly turning aside from its original purpose ol being a religious journal and becom ing a political" organ of the "Third nartv."' Will you allow- me space in your columns to sav that in inv opinion all this tendency of the ministry and the ch Lircll, as SUcll, to deSCClld from their high calling and engage in par- tisan conllicts upon the political arena and over issues which are to be settled by the ballot-box, is por tentious of untold evil to the inter ests of religion, and threatens to ruin the great cause ot temperance relorm itselt? Mv position as a friend of that cause is sufficiently well known But I confess to you that I shudder when I contemplate the spectacle of the church bedraggling her sacred yarmehts in scrambles around the polls, over any question what ever, and her' ministers forsaking the pulpit for the hustings and making party speeches in stead of sermons. Some of us be lieve that every city, town or other municipal corporation has the right to abolish by its majority vote the sale of spirits in its midst and that it is wise and useful to the cause of temperance to exercise the right whenever practicable. Rut there are many Jioiiest and good-men who think otherwise, and believe that such measures in the lomr run are ineffectual and are even injurious to temperance of. opinion affecting men's social and political relations as citizens, but m no way concerning their religioiLs status, provided they . .1 ? 11 are, as iney may ne, equally consci entious. Now, is it. unfortunately t rue that the tone of those religious newspapers and teachers who enlist under the banner of thcuThird party" is to unchurch ind anathematize all those, however devout ami conscien tious, who do not vote the prohibi tion ticket, or at least to cast a slur upon such as derelict to duty, time servers, lacking in christian courage? Is it just or wise to-thus judge others and practically seek to set up a po litical party test of reputable church membership? For one I say No! Away with this mingling of party politics with religion. Let the church stick to her own proper work, and imitate the patience of (.iod in wait ing for the leaven of her pure doc trine to leaven the whole lump of humanity, and let her not put forth the officious hand of Uzzah to the sacred Ark. Strange Phenomenon. Wilmington "Messenger. Vesterday morning, while the street gang, under Mr. Dan Sheehan, were cutting some weeds in Messrs. Fowler it Morrison's lot, on -Water street,' they came across two beautiful spider webs which Were inhabited by four very large yellow spiders. When the weeds had been cleared away so the webs could be plainly seen, the dis covery was made that each had the word "Wilmington, N. C.,:: printed across the face, as if photographed there. Everyone who saw the curi ous spectacle was struck with wonder, and at least twenty-live people, white and black, gathered around to get a glimpse of the curiosity. The words were sufficiently plain for each to readily read it, and one of the webs, which- was placed on a piece of paper, retained the outlines for a considerable length of time. The two webs were about five feet apart when discovered, and were of a gauzy, fan-like appearance that made them things of beaut'. The question is, though, how the words got there, and various were the hy potheses offered. Some advanced the theory that they had been pho tographed there from the printed words on some Hying piece of paper ; others thought the spiders must have made their webs of paper with the words printed thereon, and that the paper had been reduced to a film, 'while others flew from one explana tion to another. While none of the theories may be true, the remarkable circumstance itself is vouched for by Mr. Sheehan and all who saw it. Cayenne I)estryel by Fire. London, Aug. 1G.
