THE PENITENTIARY, A late number of the Wilmington Messenger contains a well composed jetter from a daughter of Rev. Hen ry Eppes, a cotored preacher, upon the subject ol Jhe negro exodus. In it she speaks of many plantations on the Roanoke which are to be cul tivated by convict labor, thereby driving away, of necessity, all other kinds. We regret to hear of this. If it is true fhere wilj be an emphatic protest at an early day against this plan of utilizing the convicts for the purpose of making the penitentiary self-sustaining. Indeed, we fear that the last Legislature, in its commend able zeal to reduce the burdens of taxation, committed an error which will, in fact, cost the people all the saving which it secured, in demoral izing the labor in several of the in dustries necessary to the well-being of the State. The present Board of Directors have been freed from the" exactions and restrictions which hampered their predecessors. That they have managed the affairs of the institu tion committed to them in a pru dent way, under the existing law, we do not doubt. But it is unjust to those who preceded them for cer tain newspaper correspondents to contrast their work with that done by others, unless. all the facts are eiven. And thev are not. Now the Board can hire out all the convicts for a given sum and can establish work for the convicts at least wilhin the walls ol the penitentiary. It is well known that heretofore for sev eral years the Board were bound to furnish the C. F. & Y. V. road with hundreds of hands without a cent of remuneration, and were obliged to feed, clothe and guard them. Then, owing to a popular demand, they were forced to surrender a contract for making shoes and for work on rock quarries, for which they were receiving a fair compensation. If the restrictions had not been imposed upon their predecessors, and the temper of the times had not made a surrender of the contracts necessary, there is no doubt that they could have made a better show ing. In addition to this, much work was done on the Supreme Court room and the Governor's mansion, and at other places. We have seen it stated that the Governor had ordered the Architect and Warden of the penitentiary to proceed to complete a portion of the Executive Mansion so that it could be used for the purpose intended. In this there must be error. We had supposed that the Architect and W arden were under the control of the Board of Directors and entirely independent of any "orders'' from ine governor, oucn was the case before the meeting of the last Gen eral Assembly, and we believe is the case at this time. Certainly it ought to be so. For these reasons we think that the Governor would hardly in vade the authority of other parties. Know mat some persons are very fond of the exercise of power, and now and then assume extraor dinary positions. Indeed, we have heard of a few who administered upon the estates of living men. But we cannot believe that Gov. Fowle has done anything so pretentious and absurd. Though hot regarding i ! . i- ; . i mm as me wisest, man who ever Jived, we think .him possessed of a fair amount of discretion, which would prevent his assumption of a power not conferred by the law o the State. He may have requested l he. tsuara to taue such steps. Bu he has no power orer the Board or over the agents of the Board. Nobody seems anxious to step into ex-Corporal Tanner's shoes. We do not wonder. Tanner left his suc cessor no chance of "standing in with the boy 8." It is indeed heartrending to learn from the English papers that "thirty seven thousand persons perished by the wrecks of vessels" during the re cent storm on the Atlantic coast. The English will have the American news even if it comes high. After four weeks of effort the Court has succeeded in getting four jurori in the Cronin murder case in Chicago. Rascals are certainly more plentiful in Chicago than ignorant men. Only those who do not read the papers are chosen on the jury. gards virtue and morality can at tain to any degree of prosperity. ThisMhas been the great weight around the necks of the negroes.! North Carolina in 1884, by Miss Mary R. Smith in her will; and consisting of 1,430 acres, is to be offered for sale for the benefit of that institution. It is a remarkable incident that the land is to be sold on the fifth anni versary of the uenth of the donor, Miss Smith. Raleigh Call. m ki: Pi-i. t , . i hk uiiiu ouue journal says no genuine Republican wants a victor)1 over the other party that is not won by honest votes." It is very evident then, that the genuine Republicans vmwt no more victory. If there i any subject in the world upon which the genuine Republican is densely norant n is mat oi nonest votes. A peculiarity of Hood's Sarsapa rilla is that while 1 ii" tu rifles tb, blood, it imparts new vigor to everv j'i'rawu oi uie uooy. The Farmers' Exchange is a new paper published at Fayetteville, N. C, by Messrs. J. & 0. Evans, both of whom have had considerable ex perience in the newspaper business. The Exchange presents a neat typo graphical appearance and is well edited. We wish it success. There is to be a grand ball at Fayetteville during the Centennial Celebration in November, given in bonor of Miss Winnie Davis, daugh ter of Hon. Jefferson Davis, both of whom will be present. All honor should be shown the "Daughter o the Confederacy" and her venerable father, but it seems to us that it might be done in a more appropri ate manner than by a "grand ball.' Indeed, it is questionable if any honor is conferred upon any one by a fashionable dance. There is noth ing in it which calls out either pa triotism, refinement or morality, or in any way tends to elevate its de votees. A valuable brownstone quarry has been found on the plantation of J. McL. Kelly, in Moore county. stock company is being formed, says the Blade, for the purpose of develop- ng the quarry. And the Troy Vi- dette says that there is a deposit of rownstone near Sulphur Springs, in Montgomery county, which covers several square miles of territory and is s-u. erior to that found in cither Moore or Anson counties. This quarry is on the proposed line of the Aberdeen & West End Railroad, soon to be extended to Troy. There is a great demand for brownstone for building purposes up North. The Wadesboro quarry ships large quan tities to New York, Philadelphia and other Northern cities. Indeed it cannot fill orders as fast as receiv ed. The stone is preferable to marble because it is more easily worked, is cheaper and more durahle, and makes a handsomer building. We hope these quarries in Moore and Montgomery counties will be de veloped by home capital, so that our people may reap the benefit to be derived from the enterprises. The South can never prosper as long as it continues to buy so much from the North and sell it nothing in re turn, and then puts all its natural resources into Northern hands for velopment. Let us be more inde pendent, and if it takes sacrifices and hard work and patience to build up our grand Sunny South, and make it unfold and expand and "blossom as the rose," let us nerve ourselves for the duty and reap the benefit of the great advantages which nature has bestowed upon us. An intelligent colored woman writing to the Wilmington Messenger on the subject of the exodus move ment, says : "And others may go where incli nation leads, but what little energy I have will be exerted in making a home right here in North Carolina. My fore parents helped to make this State what it is. Here they lived, toiled and died, and here their bones are bleaching beneath North Carolina soil, and here, by the help of God, I expect to live and die. I believe just as firmly as I believe there is a God, that if we, the color ed men and women of the South, will bend our energies toward living up to that divine injunction, "loving our neighbor as ourselves," and holding sacred the family relation, and getting property, this great race question could soon be amicably settled." There is much truth in the above. The negroes are and will be better off right here in North Carolina than anywhere else if they will lay aside prejudice, and eschew politics as much as possible, and cultivate honesty, integrity and chastity. When they show the proper dispo sition to build themselves up and elevate their race thu aid of the whites will not be withheld. That is certain. No race that lightly re- et them "right-about-face-" in this particular and go to work to help the whites devejoji and build up the State, each working for the internM of the other, and the race problem will have already betn solved. P. M. G. Wanamaker proposes to run things to suit himself regardless of the needs or the convenience of the public. By his actions at least he endorses the sentiment so forcibly expressed by a certain railroad mag nate some years ago. This pious fraud has just discontinued a post- office at Luverne, Ala. because the people of that town boycotted a negre who had been appointed post master. Thus 500 people are de prived of mail facilities to gratify a whim of this Pharisaical humbug who wants to put negroes in authori ty over them. It is anounced that an important safe of land is to be made on the 13th of October at Chapel Hill. The tract of land donated the University oi THOS. B. PACE, - HAMLET, N. C.

The tariff reformer who is looking lor tana pins to stick into his Ke publican neighbor win do well to read Mr. illson's reply to a cor respondent who had the temerity to say that our wealth was increasing under our protective tanti laws. Ti 1 J a1 1 i I ii wouju not oe denied dv any sensible man that a country is not getting richer if the share of each in dividual in it is declining in value in other words, if the population i increasing in a ratio faster than the sum total of its wealth. Great Britain's total wealth in 1800 was estimated at 1,740,000,000, or 165 per head. In 1840 it had increased to 4,030,000,000, or more than double; but her population had increased faster than her wealth and each individual share had been reduced in value to 155. Her peo 114 were individually getting poorer uner protective taiiffs. It was for this reason that Great Britain abandoned Protection in 1860. Since then the value of each individual share in her Government has increased yearly. In 1877 it was 270 an increase of 3 yearly since 1840 for England and Scotland. Mr. Willson points out that under the last Democratic taiifl the wealth of this country increased at the rate of $23.50 yearly for each inhabitant, while lor the hrst ten years under the present Protective tariff it has only increased by $3.50 yearly. Our experience of Protection is the same as England's and Demo crats should insist upon their Repub lican friends explaining how this decrease is to make us prosperous. New York World.

Capt. C. F. Hoke, one of the most widely known traveling men in the South, writes : ''I got from you a bottle of Dr Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic for my little daughter, who had been prostrated with fever and was very weak and had no appetite. She had not used more than half the bottle before she had an excellent appetite and regained her strength with astonishing rapidity. I believe it to be an excellent Tonic." This Tonic is sold by Dr W. M. Fowlkes & Co. The Chief Reason for the great snc- tess of Hood's Sarsaparilla is found in the irticle Itself.
