In In.s he was chosen a Representative to Congress where in the stormy days of lSoD-CO he Tindicated the policy of the Republican party.

THE COLOK LINK IN I0LITU!v The Democratic loss fn the re cent election in North Carolina is attributed to several causes, one among which is the failure on the part of the Democrats to draw the colot line. This the Jovknal does not believe. As much as the white people of h'orth Carolina detes and object to negro domination, the color line as a rallying cry to bring oat the voters has lost its force. In Craven county the Democratic vote was quite as large its in the presidential contest of 1&4, yet the color line was not mentioned ia the campaign. There were no appeals to the white people to rally to the polls and save themselves from negro domination; the appeals were made upon higher grounds; upon principle, not upon prejudices; upon matters of interest to the whole people, not of a class or race. Drawing the color line is wrong in principle. Trio Democratic party has time and ag-in in con vention assembled declared their purpose not to interfere with the rights of the negro as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and of the State of North Carolina. All the legislation by the party in this State has been consistent with these declarations. The colored man is deprived no right before the law on account of his color. He is governed by the same law that governs the white man, and is protected in his rights before the courts with the same impartiality that is dealt ont to the white man. Then why seek to array one race against the other! The negToes are citizens, antl have the right of suffrage. Why not en deavor to teach thtm to exercise this right with intelligencer To draw the color line will but put them m the hands of bad men and keep their prejudices aroused to the highest pitch Rat it is charged, and eorrectly too, that they themselves have drawn the color line. Put we must remember that from the time t bey were invested with the ballot they have been diligently taught bj their leaders that the Demoeratic party is ttieir enemy, and t w; ;i oe the ored e .11 hard matter to disabuse minds of the ma.-.-e.- of the ,-,,! people of. tins charge.

Hie J oven A I. has I within the la.t vear, in s dozen or more editorials, called attention tOiott(. .,, r,.w Berne, free from debt. the same subject and expects to utter, y independent of other lines. continue to keep it before the peo- and with the strength of a giant to pie until something is done to de- ,llcr'lt0 h" l"1-. the State pro poses to aoanden tor a generation velop this vast territory, as rich in tipr coltr,. ,,, Mim.mU.r H.r im. prtKluctu eness as any other of pregnable position and to divest eoual area in the State. At the coming session ot the Ceueral Assemb! an act .should be passed assigning a nnmber of con- . victs to grade a railroad from some ! navigable point on Trent river to a point on New river, in Onslow county, also one from ('ore Creek t Trenton. The work already done in these sections, where the State owns large bodies of rich swamp lands, proses that the State can be greatly benefitted by such j work. The ditches cut on the it 'ore Creek and (Quaker I'.rnlge j roads prove that the lands can be drained antl that they are valuable. The work of draining anil grading j roads shonld be continued with convict lalwir. We are truly glad that .Judge ( l a u K has spoken on the subject. ; 1 1 is ideas are the same that have : lxen urged in these columns, ami I in the columns of the Metnria for several years. We know ot no couuty in the eastern section more I isolated than the county of Onslow. With her fertile lands, tine tish and oysters and her kind, hospitable j ami energetic people she ought to ! rank as one of the foremost of the eastern counties, and will do it if the State will do her justice. The Juvenal used whatever power and influence it possessed during the late political contest to ' pnt men in the General Assembly from Craven county who woald be able to act in concert with those from adjoining counties In present ing the claims of this eastern sec tion to the nse of a fair share of convict labor in ditchingand drain ing the swamp lands and grading such lines of railroads as are abso- ! lutelv necessarv for the people and ! 0 ' ' ofadvantage to the State m the 1 c i 1 j saie oi ner swamp lanus. Not onlv ought the roads we h .1 v . t.i e n t i onpi 1 to he limit but one from Kinston to Snow Mill. All these roads should be feeders. a.s Judge Clark suggests, to the A. N. C. Kailroad. They should not be built as suckers," but feedt-rx. In these enterprises our eastern friends ought to unite. Think of this; of the 2, TOO miles 01 railway in North Carolina, less, than -Oo are east of the VY. .s. W. . Railroad, a territory equal in ureal to one fourth of the entire State. The Lease. We print elsewhere a commnni eation from one of our most thought ful readers, in which he asks us, apropos ;of onr comments on the proposed lease of the North Caro lina railroad to advocate a railroad commission. In passing we merely say that theVr and Obierrer ha ever since lis establishment advo cated a 'railroau commission for North Carolina not such a one as Georgia and South Carolina have established, but after the pattern plan, which president Garrett of t . ..i: .- .- .,- , iue cauimure x inio nimsen ad vocated as beneficial to the rail roads and which experience has proven to be highly satisfactory as a corrective of public evils. That such legislation has hereto fore failed has not leen for want of warm and insis tent advocacy on the part of the JYeic and Vbtertrr. But we do not wish to mix up that matter with our discussion of the proposed lease. V bile both measures concern the public, they have no connection with each other. The matter which is now receiving the attention of the eople is what is to be done with a piece of State property, that cost f.S, 000,000, and of which the State owns three-ionrths, which was built by the State for the ad vancement of North Carolina in terests, and which is leingused for a different purpose. Since the Y( tcs and Obicm-r proposes to cor, sider this important subject as a plain, dry question, keeping its discussion utterly colorless so f..r 1 as the lessee, the directors of the company ami others are concerned, j we prefer not to mix it with any other question that may involve' considerations of anothersort. And it is not improper to state here that the V'ir . and Observer recognizes the great importance to the Rich mond Danville railroad a com pany we would prefer to befriend rather than incommode of the free use ot the I:ne from Greensboro to Charlotte: and although we oppose the proposition to make a lease o: the North Carolina ro.ui to Re-hminnl company, et we know ot no rea.-oti why a contract should n-'' at the proper time be entered t lit eol t iniious m a : n t a.

It is a vast territory, in which I he 1 e is no I a loot of rail road, the large-' area probably, of gootl land east ol the Mis-issippi which is destitute of railroad facilities.

A- to the piejiltlice entertained in certain sections about the nu ll ea 1 1 h i n ess of t h is sect ion . i ! is un founded. I have been here nearly every day lor live months. I have seen the healthy appearance of the people 111 court rooms and in public gatherings. They "ill compare well with anv population. The climate is mild and the diseases seem mild too. In both summer ami winter, t :.e proximity of the coast rentiers pleasant health re .Mills readily accessible.

As long as convict labor is used tor building railroads, it is but just that .-ome of it should be sent Past where their w ork isso much needed. Ol the 1,100 convicts now in the penitentiary about !()) probably are from the Kastern half of the State, convicted at the expense ol those counties. The loss of the labor of '.H)0 men each y ear for the pa.-t 111 years is a considerable item of itsell. It is (rue that they have done a great and much needed woik in building railroads in West ern N. C. Put now that those rail roads are Hearing completion, at lea-t the Pastern contingent should be brought home to build Pastern railroads. !()(( men could grade many miles ot railroad in a year in this level country, and in a few years would (ill it with railroad tracks. Then, besides retaining that number ol laborers in this sec tion, there is the annual expendi ture of CO or T'To.doo a y ear for the support, guarding. iVc. of !(() eon- 1 victs, which if spent in the Past each year would put more money in cu dilation there Wo sec the prosperity which has come to West ern N.

With us here in our precinct we might have cried lraud ! too, as our polls w ere not opened until about '. o'clock, and then tho poll holders were not at their places, that is, two of them, j hey said they had not been summoned properly or per haps not at all; two new ones were sworn in, both Democrats, (one had been a Republican but said ho was a Democrat now and voted so), about 0 o'clock a. m. So we had a Democratic board all through. lhat was good you know. After that the registrar took one ot flu poll holders and went off to dig a well. Another one ol" the poll holders went oil' to his dinner, leav ing two men only to do all the voting and sciatching and cheating if they wanted to. but we reckon they didn't think enough of Hit election to do anything wrong, and believe everything was done i right; but was that law, Mr. Fall 1 01 ? j We think not.

Saturday; money appeared plenty, merchants were smiling and busy but it appeared that the bar rooms were not busy. Mr. F.ditor, you have be' n urging your eaders to raise hay. I am of the impression that our farmers have this j year raised an abundant supply. Some ! of them made more crab grass than any other crop, but few- of them have saved i any of it. Our talented young friend, G. AW Koonce. has left us and gone to Wash ington. L. C. to take charge of an ollice tendered him by tho postmaster general. Wo wish you good luck.

I heard a gentleman relai g that one of his i cighbors had quit Minting for coons because he like to have stepped on a six-foot rattlesnake, and had also made further reformations since the earthquake shock. AVhy, said he, you now- never hear him emphasizing his sentences with expletive and unneces sary adjectives. The tallest woman who ever has vis ited Trenton during my recollection iti. years) was there on Saturday last. She was a young colored girl from Onslow county aged about 20 years. As soon as she entered a store the whole crowd was eyeing and wondering at her height. She passed me as I was sianaicg in mr. i.rogaen s store door: when she passed into the store, and as I stand six feet in height, I had to throw my head back a little for the eye to ob serve her height She had some ac quaintances with her who informed me that her sister and mother were much taller than she was. I afterwards saw her talking with a very small colored man and it reminded me of an incident that happened in Trenton many vears ago, when I was a small boy, between two well known citizens of Trenton. James It. Conner and John Still. Con ner was a remarkably tall man over 7 feet while Siill was a verv low man. Still delighted himself iu teasing Con ner about his height; would walk up to him whenever he could get a crowd to enjoy it, and hold up his hands and say "James, please throw me down a chew of tobacco. On the plantation of Mr. Coble, near Trenton, is an old grave yard where many of the Pryans are buried. I found there a tombstone with this inscription: To the memory of Hardy Bryan. Eq.. clerk of the county court of Jones county for many vears: was born April IlOth. 1TS1: died Dec. 11th. 1888. aged 52 years t. months and 20 days." Mr Bryan was a leading man of his county iu his day. I can recollect him well: recollect hearing the people say where could they lind a man to liii his oflice. Mr. Bryan was a hotel keeper: kept it in the house where Mr. Brogdeu now resides. His good wife was named Wealthy. I also recollect that he had two daughters. .Mary and Julia. Mary married Christopher Khodes. moved to Wilmington, where they both di-d. Julia married Dr. Jesse D. Hines. who was at that lime a practicing physician at Trenton, moved to Polloksvifle and died and was buried in the Bryan grave yard, lli- widow. I learn, yet survives him and is a resident of New Berne, living with her daughter. Mrs. J. C. YVhitty. Mr. Bryan was a great hunter of foxes ..ml ili-.-r. and spent all his spare time chaiug them. I had for gotten where ibis good mail was buried until last week : I was passing through his old home-tead and aceidemly found it. Dental Notice.
