WHO SHALL' GO VEEN? This is not a ''white man's Gov ernment" any more than it is a blue eyed men's or a red-haired men's Government. New'York World. 1 At a banquet given in New York flast week "by the Southern Society .Gov. FitzhuKh Lee, of Virginia, re sponded to the toast, "The South Since the Revolution." In the course of his remarks he said : "As to the race question I want .the great North to decide for us whether the progress of this great Union m be benefited by a union of white American States or black and white American States. The safety of this Union depends on white sovereignty,- not 'black. Applause '.We take care of the blacks in the .South ; we have fed them and clothed them, but in the question of govern ment we have and must have white government." These remarks by Gov. Lee moved the World to read him a lecture upon the Constitution. It entirely misapplies and willfully, doubtless Gov. Lee's language. He under stands as well as the World or any one else does, that this is a ''Govern ment of, by and for the people all the people, without respect to race, religion, color or previous condition of servitude," and he would be much farther from withholding from any individual a single right guaranteed o him than would many of the Northern negro worshippers. In designating this a "white in; n's Gov ernment," Gov. Lee meant that it is a Government which wiil.be admin istered by white men impartially and justly fur all Iks people. And he spoke wisely and truthfully. We deny thaf'all men are created equal" though all are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights," but there is no law under Heaven, written or unwritten, which declares that the ignorant and vic ious shall dominate over the intelli- ' cence, wealth and people. The "color line" was drawn by the Creator and by him only can it be wiped out. Were the negro's skin as white as marble, if he still poss essed the traits of character which dominate that race now, he would It. is said that Harrison's inaugu ration parade will be a stupendous affair miles in length. But it will sink into insignificance beside the phalanx of office-seekers who will beseige him during the next six or eight months. " , A sensation was created the other day in the Senate Special Commit tee. During a heated discussion Bill Chandler, the South-hater, in sultingly referred to Senator Black burn as a "slave-driver." This raised the Kentuckian's ire and he gave Billy's ear a tweak which lrfted him off his seat.: There was no fight in Billy and so he took the punish ment with the best grace possible. He was an object of general interest next day, everybody wanting to see his elongated enr. Our Sentiments Exactly. The Wilmington Messenger advo cates a repeal of the law forbidding newspapers t advertise the Louisi ana Lottery, and says that South Carolina and Virginia papers con taining the advertisements circulate in the State. The Goldsboro Argus takes issue with the Messenger and says that the statute ought to stand. The Cronicle agrees with the Argus. There is no greater swindle in the country than the Louisiana Lottery, and we do not believe that the leg- Ligature ought to allow exciting ap peals, signed by those two decoy ducks Beauregard and Early to go into the hands of the pecple of the State. We cannot control South Carolina and Virginia papers but we can keep our home papers from aiding a swindling concern in rob bing our people, and comparatively few North Carolina people read anjT but home papers. State Chronicle. A Sharper Caged. W. H. Martin, a young man of Gold Hill, Rowan county, was yes terday brought before D. G. Max well, U. S. Coin mission er, on the charge ol using the U. S. mail for circulating advertisements of ob scene literature and fraudulent schemes. Capt. Chas. Price, of Salisbury, represented the defendant, and Col. H. C. Jones, U. S. Attorney, assisted by Geo. F. Bason, represented the Government. - After considerable discussion, the Commissioner required a $1500 bond from the defendant for his ap pearance at the next term of the Federal court. As the defendant could not furnish the bond, he was committed to jail. Mr. Martin is only about 25 years of age, and finished a two year's term in the Albany penitentiary only last November. He was sent to Albany for selling counterfeit money, and, as soon as he was released, he commenced his other fraudulent schemes. He was born and raised at Gold Hill, and, during his eveutful life, he has had three names. One is his proper name, W. H. Martin, the other two are William Henry, and the Carolina Importing Company.

In the case of Morton, Bliss and Company against Roberts, auditor of the State of North Carolina, ac tion on bonds issued by the btate and subsequently repudiated, Judge Bond, of the United States Circuit Court, has, on petition of counsel for plaintiffs, granted a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the United States. This case is in some respec ts similar to other State bond cases from the North Carolina and Louis iana circuits, and which are now pending before the the United States Supreme Court, but were passed when reached on the regular call until a full court is sitting, for tin- on the isthmus.

Washington, Feb. 25. The De partment of State has received dis patches from the consuls of the United States at Panama and Colon, in regard to the situation of affairs the expected final collapse of M.

He referred to a white Burmese cow and a white kid, which were made fast, close by one another, to a wheel of the great cage in which was the hippo potamus. "Why, sir," said Pierce, approach ing close to the animals with The Herald re porter, "we dare not separate them, even for a few momeuts, lest the cow go into fits.

When Chaplain ilcCabe was in Kansas last year, on a tour endeavoring to raise $1,000, 000 for missions, a little boy heard his appeal, aud thinking of the large sum he Lad to raise, determined to help him.

The Republicans are happy over the admission as States of Montana, Washington, and North and South Dakota. They claim that all four pf the new States will be solid, or very nearly so, for the Republicans, and rejoice at the prospect of an in creased majority in both houses of Congress.

C, Feb. 25 At a preliminary hearing before Justice Staples to-day, four colored men were committed to jail, in default of $200 bond, for stealing cotton from the train recently wrecked near here, while two other colored men, Geo. Neal and Cal Cobb, were de nied bail and were committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury, charged with having wrecked ttye train on the night of January the 26th. The evidence against all them is clear, positive and strong. Charles Harrington, colored, board ed the Charlotte bound mail here on Thursday evening to beat his way to Southern Pines. Capt. Ward demanded his fare whereupon the negro replied that he had given it. The negro feeling confident that he would be ditched, hastened to the platform and leaped from the train, while it was running at a rate of 40 miles an hour. In the leap his head came in contact with a partial ly decayed pine stump, which was driven into his forehead and drew out his brains. S-inford Express.
