Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 18S9. akin WASHINGTON CITY LKTTKIi ST A I- 1 : O KUESl'ON'D K NT . The republicans of Ohio havu ctmie together' with a rush. They are united in a solid phalanx and in tend to use every possible effort to elect Mr. McKinley, tbe true repre sentative of the protection idea, Governor of that State. They are all the more anxious for this be cause if he .should carry the State by a large majority it will make him a prominent candidate, for the Repub lican nomination for president, and it will be a vindication of the infa mous McKinly Bill, by which the farmers of the country are being taxed more heavily than they have been at any .time during the exis tence of the government. .Now it is time for tbe Democrats of Ohio to cease their quarreling and ! unite upon some candidate who will not only command the entire Demo cratic vote but who will draw to him the votes of the farmers of Ohio, and who will naturally be disgusted with the nomination of McKinley and with the platform up on which he was nominated. It is to be presumed thasueh a man can be found in Ohio. The Democrats of Ohio must re member that they are opening the campaign of 1892 and tint upon their success rests to a great extent the success of the Democratic party 111 IH'3'A. The election of Mr. Mc Kinley will force the next conven tion to be made entirel upon the question of Protection as against Tariff Reform and the Democratic partv will have the disadvantage of fighting against a policy endorsed by one of the leading States of the Union- For this reason it is necessary that the Ohio Democracy should use every; reasonable and honorable ef fort to prevent the election of Mc Kinley. The Democrats of the country demand this of them, and demand that they shall cease bicker ing and turn their guns upon the common enemy. The Future of the Afro-Ajneri-I can Race. The anticipations which so many Americans have formed, writh .-more or with less,- sat'sfacticn, regarding a large, continuous increase of that element, up to some ultimate - very high point, have little foundation in recent experience. The presid ing orlicer of a Republican State convention two years ago sketched for his' auditors a growth of the col ored race in the United States, which was to bring them, at no distant fu ture, to a total of fifty millions! Of course, in great part t he extrava gance of thisj.'omputation -was due to omissions from the colored census tmiate 111 question was also in part due to a failure to note the consid eration . . . that tbe natural field for the colored race is not strictly, indeed, yet still uirtually. circum scribed by climate and industrial conditions. Now there is much rea son to believe that a race that is lim ited in its range becomes, by that very fact, subject also to important restrictions upon its capabilities of sustained increase within that ranjie. If the growth of the colored race is hereafter to take place mainly with in the cotton belt, it is safe to say tnat, u win never reach titty mil lions, or a third of that number. Gen. F.

Our readers will recall the Stan lej -.Jameson controversy regarding an act of camnibalism, at which the latter is said to have conceived. Following is the account of the tra gedy as given in Jameson's book just published. "Tippu Tib, who came in before it was over, told me that they usual ly kill several people and have a trrand feast, for the Wacusu are ter rible cannibals. Then he told me, among other stories, that long ago, when fighting near Matela, they killed a great many enemy, and the natives who were with him being cannibals, there was not a body to be found the next morning. He tells me that two men will easily eat one man in a night. Tippu Tib sent for water in the night to wash his hands and drill k, the water being in a well near by. Tippu Tib could not make out why, when it was brought, it stuck to his hands and was so oily and bad to drink.. Kext day Tippu Tib and several Arabs wqnt to the well to see what was the miSlter. There he saw a most horri ble sight. The water was. covered with a thicH layer of yellow fat, which was running over( the side f the well.. He found that the natives had taken all the human meat to the well to wash it before eating. "At the next place they halted, he made the natives camp below him on the stream". I told him that the people at home generally consider such stories to be only 'travelers' tales,' as they are called in our country, or .in other words, lies.' He then said something to an Arab called Ali, who was seated next to him. Ali turned to me and said, "Give me bit-cloth' and you see.' I sent a boy for six handkerchiefs, thinking it was all a joke, ana they not i n earnest . Presently a man ap peared, leading a young, girl about ten years of age by the hand. Then I witnessed the most horribby sick ening sight 1 am ever likely to see. in my life. A native plunged a knife ouickiv into her breast twice. She 1 j then fell on her face, turning over on her side. Three men then ran forward and began to cut up the bod-, ending with the head, till not a particle remained.

Several weeks ago, it was announ ced that a party of advanturers had left Brooklyn for the Coast of Nort h Carolina, for the purpose of search- ing for a great amount of money, supposed to have been concealed by Capt. Kidd of piratical fame. The party is now near Wilming ton, on the hunt. The whole is a very interesting proceeding. We give our readers tie following clip ping taken from the Wilmington Messenger. In accordance with the promises to publish furtber particulars about the latest search-for Capt. Kidd's treasure, we will begin by refresh ing the memory of our readers with the following information published as a local item in the Wilmington Commercial of May 21, 1873. "Andrew Jackson has been ar rested for wounding Thomas Green over at the Banks yesterday. The weapon used, was a jewelled dagger vidently of some age and value, which the two participants assert was found by them in the "sand." This of itself is of little conse quence, but certain well authenticat ed circumstances make it a strong connecting link in a chain of evi dence which goes far towards prov ing that a vasT treasure has been bu- ied for years somewhere along the strip of sand now known as Ocean View. Briefly, the facts are these: Al fred Bauchier died in a Liverpool hospital in 1805, leaving to one of the officials, who had been very attentive to him, a bundle of paoers with the ambiguous remark that there was money in them." They proved to be old and faded parch ments written in a Franco-Spanish ingo which cost the receiver con- siderable time and trouble to deci pher, but the purport of them all was that the writer had sailed under the famous Capt Kidd assisted at the burial of his wealth, r that Kidd snuk his vessel several miles up a certain river and brought his ill- gotten gains down to the coast over land, and that he had buried it partly on a sand-bar and partly "on small marshy island, covered with dense shrubs and infested with snakes." In 18G3 these papers came into possessions of Hugh Flaxman, ship owner of Birkenhead, who had been for sometime previous running the blockade successfully . He instruct ed one of his captains to sail down the coast of North Carolina in his vessel the "Cranstowe" and take note of all localities agreeing with the description given by the old pi rate. This vessel was grounded on the banks to prevent capture and the crew swam to shore through a very heavy surf. The captain turn ed up in Liverpool ten years after wards, showing an old spade-ace o-uinea found by one of his - sailors in a handful of sand he had grasp ed while endeaving to make land. Hugh Flaxman died in 1881 leav ing all his property to two nephews of Duplin, who are now visiting Wilmington. They seem confident that the Hammocks is the marshy island referred to and are preparing to verify this by operating with an ingeniously constructed boring in strument. It is curious to note that for many ye-rs there has been a le gend current in our neighborhood of a treasure ship having been sunk up the Cape Fear river. Sometimes it is called a man-of-war, and Black river is pointed out as its hiding place; sometimes it is a Spanish mer chantman blown up near Point Peter but all accounts co-incide as to its containing specie. In Brunswick churchyard is a grave with a Latin inscription call ing down a curse on the head of him who desecrates it. In the late war when the chruch was used as a - hos pita! the Federals rifled all the other tombs in search of valuables but al lowed this to remain intact. It was examined by an antiquary of Charl eston about ten years ago and found to contain a leaden coffin filled al most entirely with old parchments in the same mixed vernacular of the Liverpool documents. These were no never wholly translated and it is un known what became of them event ually7, but they at least indicate that the writers were intimately' associa ted with our river. Ex. Written for Gazette. Compulsory Education. Seventeen States, seven Teritories and the District of Columbia have a compulsory attendance law. North Carolina's first step in that direction was the passage of the act requiring teachers to attend the Institutes. This, in theory, seems proper and wise, but it falls short of expected results, and will continue to do so under existing conditions. High School educators md lectur ers have failed to note the vastness of the difference between high school and common schools. Many of the ideas and suggestions of the "ad vanced thinkers" are about as illy edapted to the needs of the moral schools of the State as Locke's Grand Model was to the wants of tbe Colo nies. There are some irood things inculcated at the Institutes; the "peopless day" is worth all the rest of the week, and such being the case it would manifestly be better for the State to do away with the Institutes and, indeed, have every township, or, if need be, every voting pre cinct in the State canvassed as in a political campaign. It would then reach teachers, patrons, and all. If public sentiment is to be educated this is the way to accomplish it. If the education of teachers is ! made compulsory their pay should also be defined, leaving no latitude, in that particular, to committees, some of whom are intelligent and sensible, and some are penny wise and pound-foolish." If the standard of teaching is to be elevated the pay should be commensurate, and on a par with wages for skilled labor in other avocations. Teachers, from neccessity often underbid one another. Communi ties and patrons are pleased at this for they can then often get the best man for the least money: many, however, do not care much about the man so his salary is low . The law so long in operation pretending to fix the pay of teachers is greatly to their disadvantage because it fixes the maximum price, only, to be paid. We mean teachers w-hoare well qual ified to teach. There'ought, really, to be no comparison between a com petent, and an incompetent teacher. While intelligent patrons know the value of the former, numbers of others will say of the latter, "lie knows enough to teach our chil dren, not seeming to know that their children will be taught wrong, ana mat it is a harder tasir to "un learn" one so taught than it is to teach him right at the first. In addition to the canvass and the increase pay of teachers, alluded to, the school syTstem would be material ly benefitted by inaugurating a more stringent examination of teachers forbidding anyone set of questions being used a second time in any case, change school books as seldom as possible, give Grammar and Arith metic the prominence due tiiem, re quire committees to have schools taught at the proper time, not pre fer female to male teachers, and ap propriate plenty of funds. W. MonticeUo, N C. Nothing grows on men more rap- dly than the spirit of discontent. It saps the energy, destroyes the am bition and devours every noble im pulse. It is a foe to be dreaded more than wolves and its power is greater than many caravans. Like of which the poet wrote, it grows day and night, Sun day and in the week, until it sweeps all peace and happiness before its re sistless march. It is in the. heart that the strongest fight is to be made by each of us and discontent is the forerunner of every evil seed im planted there. Let us stamp it out and remember that "contentment is great gain. Ex. CONSUMPTION CURED.

The subject of this sketch was born April 5th, 1826, and died April 28th, 1891. He was brought up under the teaching of sectarian ism, but when quite young he was led to embrace the teachings of the Church of Christ by a sermon deliv ered by Eld. Henry Smith. It was during the year 1854, through the faithful preaching of Eld. A. J. Bat tle that Bro. Woolard was led to make a public profession of Christ and obey' the '.'form of doctrine', by a burial with him in baptism. Bro.
