JI .could not,, if he ; wonld shiik all the Responsibilities that lie in his 'path : of allegiance to the govern- rnent that protects him in bis per Jsonal'anct property rights. Somjs of 'them he must assume, chief among 'which is the duty of contributing of his' means to the support and raain- tenance of that government. Then 'he is 'a stock-holder to this extent, 'not "to - place his relation in any stronger ligtft. He1 is an investor in- his government to the extent of the t amount of taxes assessed upon him and should therefore, as in any other . ''line of investment, be equally solicit 'ous for corresponding returns to him in the way of a just and proper ad ' ministration of public affairs. But this is a narro'w view of patriotism, ' ta6 sordid for serious contmrlatmn , in the light of one's duty to his country. The citizen has higher in terests to subserve, while indeed his obligation to "pay as he goes" is by no means to be ignored or thought fof lightly. His destiny is, as if were, 'wrapped up in his country and its government. He can not dissociate his own interests, social, moral and material, from it if his country prospers under wise and beneficent tule, then he prospers. If on the 'contrary bad men hold sway if, - through bis negligence simply, evil 'counsels prevail to the extent of lilt ing unworthy men to office; and if, 'in consequence, blunders mark,the jidmiriistration off government or corruption creeps into high places and. official patronage becomes a in&tter of traffic, then in the deterio ration Of moral and the ruin that follows the honest citizen is obliged to suffer. He feels it in all the rela tions of his life, so intimately is his own welfare identified with, that of 'his country. He awakes from the Jefhargy' that made possible such a state of things only too late to repair the evil consequences of his own indifference to public demands. It . is easy for him to say to big neighbor : "Shake not your gory ! locks at me, thou cans'tnotsay did it;" yet, if he has failed to discharge one plain duty, he is, to that extent, cjalpable, and must writhe in vain under the consciousness of a derelic tion of perspnal duty. His single Vote, augmented by the greater pow er of his example and influence, knight have turned the scales in favor bf good men, honest measures and just government. We would make mo exception to the -rule-: the duty cf discharging strictly, all the obliga tions 6f citizenship rests equally up- ' on all; . ' ''Our country is governed through the medium of popular elections in which all ar'e,or ough t to be, equally .interested Itisthejbusinessiof the eoplej as a mass, to see to it that men. properly- qualified shall bp placed , in the various positions of government. A prerequisite in fitj e88 for any public station is un doubted competency, coupled with good morl character and well es-J tablished habits of sobriety.

We de sire to see all such eliminated, or given a "backseat," in the conven tions of this year. To that end let the rank ad file of the party arouse themselves to a proper sense of the gravity of the situation, for the real enemies from within may work more barm than those from without. Be watchful, for "eternal vigilance" is indeed the price of victory over an avowed enemy when covert ene mies are known to be prowl ing through the camp. It has not been an uncommon thing in the past to find men who were Demo crats simply for the harm that they could do to the party. While not claiming perfection for our party, we do claim its undoubted superiority over the opposition in all respects that promise good government. The Radical party in the South is the negro party, composed mainly of negroes who, we grant, are igno rant of evil design In wishing to control th affairs of the country but who, nevertheless, are just as ignorant of the first qualifications ior governing and ruling the white race. We are glad to see that the Ral- eigh Christian Advocate, although not discussing politics or parties, is following the lead of the Wilming- ton Star and Progressive Farmer two other distinctively representa tive, papers in urging he selection of pure men only for the various of fices to be filled in North Carolina at the next election. The demand is for moral men, honest and sober, ' for candidacy before the people men upon whose records the electric light may be turned with impunity. Liet- tne uemoeratic party in con vention be careful and judicious in its selection, of candidates for the va rious offices and, our word for it, the white voters of all the religious denominations in the State will stand solidly on the right side at the polls. Judge Lynch at Work. Washington, N. C, March 11. Our quiet little town was thrown in to a stato-of great excitement this morning by the report that a man was hung to the bridge. About 3 a. m., the steamer Beta, on hV down trip to this place, blew the signal to open the draw to the bridge ; the bridge keeper responded but found an obstruction in the way. The draw could not be opened suf ficiently for the steamer to pass. On investigation, it was-found that a rope was hanging from the cross beam of the draw with a heavy weight attached. , When pulled to view he discovered with horror a lifeless Ijody, to which was attached a placard with the inscription : "Jus tice at Last." The proDer authori- ties were promptly notified ; it was left to dangle till daylight, and until a coroner's jury could be empannel- ed. The body proved to bethat.of W. A.

Her marriage to Min tz was to be ept secret for two years, out Dr. Atkinson becoming offended at her neglect of him and her attentions to Mintz, returned to Chester, The matter being satisfac torily explained, however, he met her at Black's a few days later and they were married.

She de nies now that she was ever married to Mintz, but does not wish to do Dr. Atkinson the injustice of remain ing with him while such reports are current at least until she can show their falsity.
