War pensioners, republican editors, active republi can leaders and the financiers who are supposed to be inimical to southern interests are the victimn of the foul and caluminatiug ,peu8 of the uneducated, semi barbaric coarse-grained, vituperative editors ot the south. It will strike some people that there is a spice of in tolerance and abuse running all through the utterances of this apostle of sweetness and light.

We are hearing a yreat deal aboat "i he i ule of the majority." The air is t;i;i ol it to sufheation. Men ar. h, jonty . ,i, 1 1 lied because, the ma- he SeiMf !

Will mi in- .id v oiai e ol in ..j mty rule pie,i,f teli us whi-re then- ii a uat io;i, i f-t a'e, a county or "own, in the civii..ed world, that is under the rule ot the majority J We know of no sqcIi place on this earth, in the Heavens above or the regions below. In ab-ioiute monarchies the king, or the emperor coaipeli uncondi tional obedience. In limited mon arches aud Republics the constitu tion aud the laws are siipi eme. No English Statesman has been f)und b':d enough to asail the English Constitution. It is the1 bonst of Englishmen that no citi zen o-u wander eo far from his island home, that he may not make the British flag and English Con - stitution, at once his reluge and his shield. Constitutions never yield to the , majority. They are the bulwarks j of put,ilc , t)t.r.y antj prlrale rights, j But. how is it especially in the United States the model Repub lic of the world. Why, tbe American Constitution is everywhere recog nized as the palladium of liberty.' Here, in th s "land ot the free and Dome oi tne orave,' it is not very often that the majority rules. "The Great Lincoln" was a minority President. The present Governor ol North Carolina is a minority Governor, but he was elected in ac cordance with the laws of a sover eign State, and his rule is as right ful as it is honorable and just. In our counties and towns the majority do not rule. We have the higher reign of law aud order. Mr. Grady, in his very able speech in the House says: "I find that twelve States, con taining a little over 35,000,000 peo ple, can, by a bare majority vote in each State, which would represent, sav, 18,000.000 people about three teuths ot the entire popula tion choose 220 Presidential elec tors, a majority of all. even against the protests of the other seven tents of the people." Such is the nature of our Govern ment, and it cannot be changed without revolution. The Senate is tbe body-guard of the constitution! j THE SITUATION' TO-DAY. j Let Democrats rejoice aud be jglad! The News from Washing ton is most cheering. The long de bate is over, and the Democratic paity stands before the country united "bright as the sun, fair as the moon and terrible as an army mith banners." The repeal bill will pass not by the votes of Republicans, but by the solid vote of the united and triumphant Democracy. The Journal has not cared so much for the details of any special measure; its great concern has been for the Democratic party, be cause in the success of that party the prosperity of the country is in j solved. Our hearts sank within ins when for a time it seemed prob I able that the fruits of the splendid victory of 1S92 were to be lost be cause of division in Democratic ranks and the bickerings of Dem- ocratic leaders. All this is over, j and as we loofe back on the re-I ceding billows, we thank God j that the storm is past. ! We trust that our glorious old ' Dm will 110W move onward, nnt.l ! every pledge to the people has been redeemed and the prosperity of the country secured. Not the least cause of rejoicing, is the attitude of t he Senate. The Senate has always beeu the con- servative power in the government. Let there be no more dream, much less talk, of clotour in the Senate. In the lst resort, in the hour of destiny, the Senate has never fail-! ed to meet tbe purpose of its ere ation. Senator Sherman calls the at tention of the Democrats of the Senate Finance committee to the depleted condition of the gold re serve and said that nothing wonld be of avail except an issae of gold bonds. He startled the Senators dvocating tbe repeal of tbe Sher man act by saying if the Demo crats would not look after the treas ury he would offer the bond amend- meet; to the Repeal bill. He was begged not to do this as it would stir up more opposition of Sonthei ii bill. Sen.

Riiey .loore Convicted of Robbing the Mails. In the case of Sheriff M. A. Hill, of j Carteret county a special verdict was rendered from last term. Defendant was adjudged guilty. Judgment $1.00 fine and costs. d. T). Bowden, sending a scurrilous message on postal card. Jury tiial, ver dict guilty, subject to the decision of thi judge as to the legality of the charge, hat is as to whether the language used is em- braced in the meaning of the statute. Hon. L. J. Moore represented Mr. Bow ded. The case of the United States vs. Wm Riley Moore took the great portion o the court's time during the c'ay and ex cited the most interest. There wero four indictments against the defendant, three for detaining letters, one ior embezzlement. He was tried on one of the charges ot detaining a letter, and convicted. A nol pros, was then entered in cell of the other two detention cases and defend ant, through his counsel, submitted to the indictment for embezzlement, subject to the decision of the judge as to previous conviction, that is whether the conv.c tion already made did not embrace this case also as one act and thereby do away with the second indictment on the ground that a man cannot be tiled twice for the same offence. Hon. L. J. Moore and Mr. M. D. W. Stevenson represented the defendant and contested the case strongly. This ease also brought out (or the first time District Attorney Aycock of Golds boro, and his assistant Mr. Sol. C. Weil of Wdmington. Mr. Weil arrayed the facts brought out in the evidence in con nected order and spoke logically and forcibly. Mr. Aycock also made a telling speech. The prosecution is well represented when these gentlemen are at the helm. Drowned at Stonewall Mr. Wm. Bonner Hopkins was drown ed at Stonewall on the 24th inst. His home was near that place. Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Sheldon Sawyer of the same neighborhood were on an oyster boat being towed by a tug. In some way the line by which the two boats were connected became disarranged and the bow of the oyster boat was jerked under the water leaving the two ui"n ovcrboa'd with the resultant drowning of Mr. Hopkins. M-. Sawyer used all efforts he coird 'o rescue him, even endangering his li e in the attempt but all proved unava 'l.ig. Mr. Hopkins body was recovered. ' Judge Bond Dead. j Judge Hugh L. Bond died in Baltimore Tuesday momiDg. In 1 800 Judge Bond was appointed I Judge of the Criminal Court of Baltimo e wiiieb position he held for eight years. ! President Grant, in 1870, appointed him , United States Circut Judge for tbe fourth judicial circuit. He presided in the famous Ku Klux trials in the Carolines, j and decided the fameus South Carolina ; presidential electoral board case in 1876. , At the trne ot his death Judge Bond was i chief Judge of the United States Circuit.

The Argas siys that on Sunday night Rev. Mr. Jenkins, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Goldsboro preached one hour and thirty-five minutes on "Future Punishment." Catawba county has a fine specimen of manhood. His name is Andrew Wil son. He stands over six and a half feet high and weighs 274 pounjs with not a particle of surplus flesh. It has been estimated that GO per cent of the male population of the Un ted States would willingly give their present occupations to hold Federal office. And perhaps 3tf per cent of the others could be persuaded to bold office. For insult to Brazil, Commodore Stan ton has been summarily removed from his command of th South Atlantic station at R:o Janario. His offence -was saluting grint the ccnt-a-mile rate w Inch has here the rebel flag. Captain Picking, the next tofore been given ou these occasions was officer in rank takes his place. The Royal Society of Good Fellows paid to the widow of Mr. James C. Har sison on the 24th inst ., $3,000. the amount of the policy Mr. Har. '.son had in that order. This is a good quick settlement and the first policy to be paid. Mr. Harrison's do ith occurred only as far back as the 21st of September. Papers in every portion of the State are advocating utilizing convicts by making them keep up the public roans.

New Bernians who attended the Eliza beth City Fair bring back a very gratify ing report. The daily attendance was about 1,200 quite a satisfactory number. The stock exhibit was grand, and the general display very good. The balloon asccnsioD is pronounced the best they have ever seen. Tbe bal loon used was a fine and exception ally large one. It filled quickly and shot rapidly up to a remarkable height with two parachutes, one containing a lady, the other one a dog. Each one came diwn easily and without the slightest hurt. There was an unusually large number of side shows and attractions. Tle bicycle races somewhat of a novelty as yet in this State were per fectly splendid; some thought they were the best thing of the kind they had ever seen. Professional wheelmen were from several points. Officers of the Fair found the New Berne people and received thrm in a very warm hearted manner, extending every courtesy possible to them throughout the day. Every one is pleased at having gone and there are others of our citizens who missed the Fair who wish they had been also. Well, a year will soon roll around and give them another chance. In the mean time we hope to see many of the Eliza beth City people at the East Carolina when it holds in this city next February. Inspection of East Carolina Waters. Mnjor W.h S Stanton, of the United States corps ot Engineers of the United States Army, who is in charge of the river ilnd harbor improvements of North Carolina has, in company with Mr. W. H.

The Durham Globe says: "A lady has made Dr. Y'ates a present of an inkstand made in Jerusalem out of the native olive wood of that counl.y. The wood is highly polished and beautifully carved,, with a space left for the word "Jerusa lem" in Hebrew characters. The summit is a quadruple Maltese cross in concave, anil the cup holding the ink looks as if it had been blown into the wood.' There is a uuivoisal expresi-ions of regret at the decision of Wilmington not to observe Welcome Week this year. Many New Berne people would have seized that opportunity to make a visit to Wilmington and at the same time gratify the desire to lake a trip over t lie new railroad. The refusal of mil roads to j the cause ol giving up the celebration. Several of om business men wont down to the udvertisod sale of the large wreck ed schooner Maggie Andrews which was to have taken place Tuesday, but the sale did ii"t uiiilcii.iiize.
