J. A . ARTHUR, Jr., Editor. PUBLISHED EVERY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAY. RACE ISSUe IN NORTH CAROLINA. " The following editorial ap peared in the Washington Post of October 24th. This paper is one of the most influential papers in the United Stales. The ar tide has the right ring to it and here we give it to our readers: "Every thoughtful , and hu mane citizen, from one end of the country to the other, will be ap palled by the prospect now dis cernible in North Carolina, It is no longer possible to believe that the clamor of the whites is merely a revival of the old Dem ocratic trick to catch votes and ride into official place and per quisites. On the contrary, we ore confronted with the admis sion of prominent Republicans to the effect that the question is far deeper and more vital that it is, in fact, a question of simple civilization. We are carried "back thirty years to the dark and bloody episode of reconstruction and see otiee more the menace i the struggle between anarchy and organized society. That menace is obliterating mere par ty lines and bringing together the whites, witnout reference to political affiliations, in a solid phalanx of self defense. The issus involves the preservation of enlightened institutions, of honest government, of law and order, of the integrity of the Caucasian race. It is an issue that can have but one termina , nation. j "Apparently the white Repub licans have gone too far in their effiorts to keep control of the North Carolina patronage. They have simply repeated the malign and sinister performances of the carpet-baagers of "Q8 76. and invited a similar catastrophe. The Southern people hve shown already that they cannot and will not submit to negro domination, with air that that implies. The negro has proved to the satisfac tion of the entire country that he is incapable of conducting a civilized and wholesome govern ment. As far back ae 1869, the Northern men who went South to invest money and make for themselves permanent homes and legitimate careers, recog nized thq unquestionable fact that local negro rule was hope lessly inconsistent with social order and material prosperity. They accordingly joined the na tire whites in ujI matters con nected with domestic politics, while voting the Republican tick et in all national contests. It was with their aid and sympathy that the South threw off the incubus, and, after eight long years of tragedy, staocl erect at last. It eefajs, however, that the North ina leaders have forgotten son of thirty years ago, ' .bout to revive the hor $kmities of that abom We draw this ' . ot from the outcries ons of Democratis and office-seekers, out from the solemn utterances of white Republican officials. Let us quote, for'example, from the public declaration of Mr. Mc Kinley's postmaster at Wilming ton, made in the form of an open letter to Senator Pritchard: "There is a greater feeling of nrest and uncertainty about the maintenance of order than I have ever seen, and many. VRn tVlO . 1 conser?ative, feel that a race conflict is im minent,, than which nothing could be more disastrous, not only to this city and county, but to our party in the State, and rather than havj riot, ar son, and bloodshed prevail here, 1, Republican though 1 am, advise giving up the local offices in this county, as there are no national political princi pies involved in tlus contest." "I had thought at first that it was merely the usual politi cal cry and the fic:ht for the offices, but I am now convinced the feeling is much deeper than this, as it prevtdes the whole community, and there seems to be a settled determination on the part of the property owners, business men, and taxpayers that they will administer , cky and county government.'! This ib from Hon. W. H. Chadbourn, a Republican of high personal character and of gocd social standing and re sponsibility He is a friend cf Senator Pritchard, and, as we have already shown, Mr. Mc- Kinley'g appointee as postmas ter of Wilmington. He states that there are thirtysix negro Magistrates in that county alone, to say nothing of a negro Register of Deeds and various other officials of grecter cr less importance. This means that the places through which the people and the government are brought into the closest and most intimate contact are ad ministered by negroes, while the business men, the taxpay orsand the classes most inter ested in government are, in the proportion of at least 95 per cent., whites. Is it conceiv able that the representatives of practically all the property, the education, the enlighten ment, and the civilization in North Carolina will assent to an arrangement so preposter ous so impossible? We fcttiink not. There is no reason why we should mincematters. ,The experiment has been tried, un der the most favorable auspices, and it has proved a dismal and a tragic failure. Even Gen. Grant, who had conquered the Confederate armiesgin the field, could not, with alljthe civil and military power of the country at his back, force negro rule upon the Southern whites. The thing is out of the question. It cannot be. And those who en gage in such a desperate enter piisf- will reap only the harvest of dsmay and ruin." NOTICE.
