SETTLERS NOT CABPET-UAUflERS.
The influx of a certain class of
Xortler tiers into the South after the
Civil War, was undoubtedly the cause
if seven'iffhths of all the disturbances
n
misundertttaudings and troubles which
have since taken place between the
lorth ami South.
Thia "carpet bag" invasion was
esjecially tinfortuate in many jwrticu
lars, not ulone for those States and
'sections winch had to endure and suffer
under the misrule and abuse; of these
adventurers, who without a thought
except to satisfy their own vile ends,
plunged sections and States into a
worse condition than the war did.
This "carpet bag" rule, not only
brought financial ruin and social dis
turbance, m many Southern sections,
but also served to widen the gap,
caused by the war, leading to misrep
resentations and misunderstandings
letween the honest, sincere people,
both North and South, who desired a
reign of brotherly Iov and peace, the
building up of all public interests, a
union of the whole .United States.
Naturally, these adventurers, by their
abuse of private and public trusts,
made the South suspicious and hostile
towards nil Northern comers, so that
any and every Northern erson, what
ever his or her intention might lm in
coming South, was regarded as an
enemy. This "carpet lag" rule, has
also lieen the means of keeping 'such
olitical clap trap expressions and
Ideas, as "Waving the bholy shirt,
"The South in the saddle," The down
trodden negro," -Hands off w can
manage our affairs." The perjctua
ting of such sentiments by the press,
and this has not lieen confined to
either section, has injured the South,
and hindered its development. The
nort'Xcnd
inass of the people, reading in their nnent arrtstel him as soon as he landed,
iewspaji-s aUut the feling towards j in vest igateil his caste, and ordered his

that such sentiments prevailed, unable! be taken off at once. Thus ends the

Clewland, as President did more
towards revealing the falseness of the
tlaiins of these jtolitical psilins than;
anything else w hu h has oceurrtd since j
the war. It gave the South, poliiicallv S

found democrats who were not against
the government, and the ' Southern
democrat probably was equally stir-
prised in finding in the new settler
from the North, a man who did not
come South 'for' office'' but man
who came to live and grow, up with
the country, putting his liand to every
honest work and sacrificing, if neces
sary, in order to .further the Jlan of
development. The recent meeting at
Kafeigh, N. C , of Northera settlers,
its expressions and sentiments indi
cates the feeling " of those who have
come South to settle, who are now
citizens of the State! -: The thousands
and tens of thousands who are now
constantly pouring into the South, to
settle and a.' gist in development of the
country, are true and honest citizens,
coming to tho aid of those here, and
tliev must not be confused with that
spurious article known as. the "Carpet
1 "agger." Hoth came with the thought
of profit. One to gain it at the sacri
fice of any or everything, except self,
the other, with the increase of wealth,
losition and honor, to benefit those
about him, ami public spiritedly to
assist in the upbuilding of his adopted
city and State. The present invasion
of the South is one which will steadilv
increase The coming thousands will
bring industrious hands and honest
hearts, and in the glorious advance

name, 'Caiet bagger,' will be for

A REMEDY FOR EMBEZZLING.
Though wo have rigidly restricted
Chinese immigration and barred out
all the Celestials except those who pass
through here for pleasure or come to
study, there are some of their customs
which wo might study to advantage,
ami among them the thorough manner
they have of administering justice and
punishing dishonesty. This has been
exemplified recently in the swift and
brilliant career of Tcheng-Ki-Tons:,
Acting FVst Secretary of the Chinese
legations in London and Paris, and
his eq.ially swift if not brilliant punish
ment. Tcheng-Ki-Tong has been the
Legation ''Secretary, for six years, and
during that period was inoculated with
a passion for the rapid style of life in
the gay capital, lie had at various
times manifested many extravagant
habits, but it was not until the early
part of tho present year that it was
found ho had failed to distinguish be
tween his omi and other people's
money. In January last he was in
trusted by his government with tho
negotiation of a loan of $35,000,000,
and had opened correspondence with
London and Paris bankers to furnish
the monoy. ' While these negotiations
were in progress he suddenly was re
called and sailed from Marseilles to
China, leaving benind him a "largo
number of sorrowful creditors to whom
he owed immense sums Investia
tion showed that he had been" swind
ling the credulous Frenchmen right
and left, and with all ' the 5 mom im
punity becausSe : his' official position
shielded him from processes'of law in, I
t
France. The most they could do' was
to complain to the hoine government
ami this they did ; The result was his
recall and he had no recourse but to
obey, for if he had not-his family at
home would have been held' rtrictly
accountable for his rascalities. Kathcr

The .'heated term,' to use a mild
newspaper expression, has been about
thii neighborhood for the past week or
two arid made the seashore a necessity.
The Sound has taken the great crowds,
it is easy to get there and back, and
both the railroad and hotel try to
make it entertaining for-all who go
there., Captain Nolan will hardly need
to take 'anti-fat this summer, his busi
ness takes him up and down the road,
constantly, but in hpite of all, he pre
serves hia good nature, ami strives for
tho welfare of all the traveling public. !
To get back to .the city again, .the
V. M. C. Association . building w be
ginning to loom up, and makes a good
appearance. . Offices in this building
ought to draw trade towards that end
of Front street. There can be no
question of the lack of good office
rooms in the city. That is, rooms for
tho display of goods. ,Mc. I'ishblate

damaged goods in Crovre(l : and. dis
agreeable quarters, instead of being
able to engago warerooriis '"outside,
where he could have opened at once,
after being burned out, with a new
stock, which I believe he would have
done if suitable quarters could have
been engaged. s : : ' '
That excellent 'institution, the Wil
mington Library, makes a good show,

liberally stipported by every man who
can possibly pay for membership in it.
Capt. Bitby's contihuing work for the
Library is worthy of success.

lesson for eldest daughters. All the

from sweet, bright, true Polly Pepper
