talk of calling another convention

a ticket made up ol reputable men.
they will elect it. The danger,
however, is that the Democrats
may nominate a ticket that is no
better than the other cue. If it is
"six of one and halt 'a do. -mi of the

is no country where nature
no Lttle, and man has
much as in Scotland. It
uate bleak and hospitable:
ii.
lias
a p. ei il.it .mi by nature tierce, tur
bulent, warlike, and disinclined be
yond ail others, to the arts of peace.
Rut a few generations since its con
dition seemed, and w as regarded by
some oi In ; most loyal sons as
utteily hopele.-s. Fletcher, of S.il
toun, w ho loved las country with a
till, il iiilo-t :on. gives the following
picture oi t he manners of her peo
ple: "At country w eddings, mar
kets, burials, and other like public
occasion-, both men and women
an- to oe seen perpetually drunk:
blaspheming and light mg togel her."
Na. more, despairing of any
mel i oi. a i, m of their condition by
the r own voluntary qstinn. he pro
posed tin- plan of soiling the people
into .-iaverv. that they might be
redeemed b its stern discipline.
The picture presented by the altove
extract ;s a (rightful one.
Hut a short time after the publi
cation of Fletchers pamphlet. Par
Lament passed the Act for the Set
tlement of Schools. Glance forward
for a generation or two. and it will
be i, mud that more had been done
m Scotland than was ever accom
plished :n any country in the same
space of (ahe. Ry the silent but
beneficient ageiie of these schools
tin- country was revolutionized. In
,iri iciilture she stood in advance of
all nation.-: ai the aits ill the very
first rank. The laud everywhere
teemed with whatever was neces
sary lor subsistence and comfort,
while her lactones poured forth the
pioduets of -kill and taste. In
every branch m science she boasted
a galaxy o! gict names. In litera
ture she shone without a rival;
Hume and Robertson illustrated
her jen.ns in history; Adam Smith
at once (minded and put the cap
stone upon a new science political
eeonomv ; Rcid and Stewart were
the aecpted expounders of intel
lectual philosophy. At the same
time Hunis was giviDg to Uie world
his immortal songs the most
genuine, exquisite and delightful
of all the effusions of lyric genius.
In the moral and religious condition
ol tiie people t he change was simply
marvelous. The Scotch had be
come the most sober, moral, and
religious people in Furope. In the
business nt Lie the Scotchman out
stripped ail compel itors. "Wher
ever," sas Macaulay m one ol his
speeches, "a Scotchman went, he
carried w ith him signs of the moral
and intellectual cultivation which
he had received. If he had a shop,
he had the best trade m the street;
if he enlisted in the army he Soon
became a uon commissioned officer.
The complaint was that,
wherever he came he got more titan
his share: that w hen he mixed with
Fnglishmeii and Irishmen, he rose
to the top like tul on water. Such
was the result of the system of
State education w hen it had been
in force for only one generation."

who aie seeking to destroy the
North C.iiolina system of public

A M -s i i ( i K.Nsi vk Partisan. ,
All the prominent residents of,
Washington are anxious to know ,
when the President will give his at-1
teiitimi to the district oftioes. Much
surprise i expressed at the delay i
in lomoving Fred Douglass, the
veteran colored demagogue who
holds the very lucrative oflice of Re
corder oi Deeds. Douglass assailed
Mr. 'leveland w ith virulent violence
during the Presidential campaign,
and Ins partisanship was so need
lessly oileiisivo that no one ques
tions that he iichly merits removal.
P i- probable that more pressure
has iioeii brought to bear against
Dmi class than against the oceu pan t
ol an other office ill t he Dist I ict
and :' is -aid that he would have

At this moment Davis, seeinc Thomp

the prisoner out of the wagon and into
the hotel with a good deal of alacrity.
"After that I met Davis at the iouis

Though accu.-tcm. d to see -laniieruus
publications in regard to myself. I have
read this with no littie surprise, because
of the total absence of any foundation
or pretext on which to build the lliction.
I avail mysell of your usual courtesy in
asking you t" publish dus m nntim re

story.
It is i.o: true, as stated, that I was
turned oi.ir to the custody of on Lieu
tenant Isgrigg two and a half miles (or
any oilier distance from Macon. The
troops by wlimu I was Raptured remain
ed my guard to Macon, and a detach
ment of them accompanied me to For
tress Monroe in charge of their own
officers.

The State Fair.
There is every sign of a good fair her
Oct. 1217, both days inclusive. The
exposition strengthened the fair and tbe
range of exhibits will be the widest yet
seen at a fair, it is expected. The stock
shows a sign of progress and that is rare
to be the best on record. Raleigh will
do her whole duty in this department,
and all who saw or heard of the exhibit
of blooded cattle here last May know
what that means.
There will be some lively racing. It
will be a feature of tbe fair this year.
It always draws, and as last year there
was no racing will be a double attrac
tion. Yesterday one man entered eight
horses for the trials of speed, and Satur
day another party entered six.
The fruit display will be a good one.
One man will exhibit thirty-five varieties
of grapes. The increased attention paid
grape culture will attract special atten
tion to this. News and Observer.
