ANOTHER OUTBURST.
We hare had so much to say
or late Of the cdmoients made by
the Northern press upon The
Oause of the Trouble in North
Carolina, we had concluded we
would say no more, but having
seen an article in the North Car
olina Presbyterian and the re
ply to it in the Independent, if
we d not say something more
we will burst. ,
The article in the Presbyteri
an begins discussing the bestow -ing
of the right of suffrage upon
the negro, and in the space oc
cupied in the discussion makes
a comprehensive statement of the
changes made in politics in this
State down to the present time.
The article is judicial in tone and
isanaly sis of the causes of the riot
and revolution in Wilmington,
as well as the recital of the facts
as to these occurances is calm
and accurate. It deals largely
with the negro's character, sets
forth the character of the white
influence which has governed
the negro in North Carolina iu
general, and in 'Wilmington in
particular, and is altogether
such a paper as should address
itself to the head and heart of
any man who is capable of weigh
ing evidence and whose mind is
open to receive the truth. The
manner of its reception by this
bigoted paper, The Independent
is not however surprising. Its
reply to the Presbyterian reeks
with sectionalism, partisanship
and meanness. We just want
our readers to read its defence
of the negro editor Manly and
his outrageous editorial,
"It was an imprudent but not
slanderous article. It has been
republished in Northern papers
and simply said what is certain
ly true, that there are white
women in North Carolina who
who allow their intimacies to
cross the race line. Every one
who knows North Carolina
knows this to be true, and it is
not so very strange. On the
pretext that by saying that this
was a fact he had insulted the
womannood of the State the edi
tor of the paper was driven out
f the State and his paper des
troyed by a body ruffians com
posed, we are told, of the most
reputable men in Wilmington.
This beggars comment. We
shall not trust ourselves to dis
cuss this atrocious libel, but pass
t another citation from this
same infamous sheet:
"The war in Wilmington has
been a political war betw'een two
parties. A doctrine of one par
ty has been that the negroes
have the same right to vote and
rule that the white man has,
while tne opposing party has
held that negroes have no polit
ical rights. For holding their
political opinions, negroes have
been fired upon andshot by the
dozen and white men's business
has been destroyed and they
have been chased out of the State
This is barbarism."
It is not worth while to char
acterize this statement as it'de
serves, without the employment
of language unbecoming to this
paper. It is enough to regret
that the war in Wilmington was
not a political war, but a revo
lution having for its object the
substitution of peace for chaos
uk! disorder. That negroes
were shot or white men chased
away because they held certain
political opinions is equally wide
of the truth these things were
done because these people had
destroyed the peace of the city
and thPiF prince imperiled life
and property. We shall not sac
rifice space to say more. The
tenor of the Independents arti
cle can be gathered from the
quotations above. The fact is the
entire article confirms a long
time conviction of ours, and that
is the least charitable and most
vicious elements of the North
are not the many scurry politi
cians of that section, but the oc
cupants of its pulpits and tlie
editors of its so called religious
papers.
A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
One of the most appropriate
acts of the new Board of County
Commissioners, and one that
will meet the approval of the
public was the appointment of
Mr. Hiland Hill keeper of the
Washington Bridge. No truer
or nobler man ever lived, and no
one has fulfilled the require
ments of tue humble -citizen bet
ter. An did confederate soldier
who has taken an active part in
every Confederate reunion since
the war, he bears upon his per
son the scars received in the
great conflict. Then again Mr.
Hill is the brother of Capt, Geo.
H. Hill who did such valiant
service for the cause of good
government in the late campaign
and has asked nothing for him
self. It is true the keeper of the
Washington bridge holds -n
humble position, yet, it is y re
sponsible one, and one that will
relieve the wants of Mr. Hill,
the old J,ex Confed" and make
his declining years happier.
The Gazette-Messenger congrat
ulates the Board on the selection
and wishes Mr. Hill still many
more years of happiness.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a
better article than your com
petitor if you can not get a bet
ter price for it?
Ans. As there is no differ
ence in the .rice the public will
buy only the better, so that
while our profiits may be small
er on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought
prominently before the public
both are certain to be tried and
the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
