Ton' a metal that in all countries and among all people from time immemorial bad been the current representative of value should be divorced from its companionship wiih gold aa in deed marvelous, but, that this de monitizatien should originate in one of the largest Silver producing countries of the world was passing strange. It is pleasing to know that there has been a revival of stiver. Tbe iojuuotion placed upou its coinage has been dissolved by the people of the Uoited States, speaking through their representatives, and concurrently tbe public sentiment of Europe is declarative, not only of the valne of stiver, but of thejab- solnte necessity for its restoration to its time honored place in the monetary systems of the civilized world. The pannage of 'be Blair Silver coinage bill by bo large a majority in the house of Representatives cannot be regarded as an ordinary incident of Congressional legisla tion. The measure was not born under the mild influence- of propit ious stars. It was believed that, if the bill passed the Hqnge, the Sfn ate woul4 be against it, and that if it passed both Houses of Con gress it would afterwards encoun ter the stern and unyielding op position of the President. The Hocse did not hesitate to pass tbe bill, for the voice of the people was t ringing in their ears like the voice of God. The Washington Post, of March 13, says: "Speculation is jast now rife as to what disposition the President wilt make of the Bland seignorage bill in the event, which has come to be regerded as a cer tainty, of its passage by the Sen ate. Will he approve it, will veto it, or will he permit it to become a law without his signature! Io re gard to this matter the New York Tribune quotes Mr. Borrows, of Michigan to the following ef feet. ''Ha had heard lrom a source which he believed to be entirely trustworthy that the President had said to one or more prominent Democratic leader th" d-i wi strongly inclinid to approva. or at least non to veto, th-5 Bland bill. This inclination hasbea produced, according to Mr, Burrus inlor mnnt, by strong lepresentations made to him by S at hern and Westejn D irnxsra's to the eff iC that unless (diver legi-da'iou of tome sort should be had oefore the end of this sasio 1 )f (J nrMs the party would lnevicbly safj'jr a ter rible and general disaster iu Nov. ember." For onr prfc, we d no-, doubt that Mr. Cleveland will sign tbe bill, He is convinced of the popular, ity of silver and he is too good a Democrat to disregard the voice of the pe vpl.

If Mr. Simmons was not Collec tor th ugh none too securely seated in the saddle his friends would certainly bring him forward fir Congress.

Long years have passed since through our sunny land The sounds of war were heard on every hand; 'Twas here in other days the earth was stained with heroes' blood The South called forth her' noble sons; in gallant bands they stood. Loud were the sounds of bugle blast and deep the cannon's roar And on their country's altar their pre cious blood they pour. Dauntless and brave they met the foe; for country fought, for country fell. In annals of the fair South's fame well may their names in honor dwell. But now, no more their voice is heard; their labor's o'er, their deeds are done 'Their latest battle his been fought,' with some, the eternal victory's won They leave their country and a price less gift the record of their fame, Of lives surrendered to thei- country's need the honor of her name. flushed is the bugle's note; no more the cannon peal is heard; The battle field is vacant still, save for the mocking bird That carnls lorth his plaintive melody, both sad and sweet While ever and anon his mournful tale the woodland hills repeat. 'Tis past; but all, the vacant homes ! Whose pen can tell in worthy strjin The sorrows of tlmse hearts that had in earthly loss no greater gain Long since the foe is to the brother turn ed; the reign of peace Is here; a nobler aim can bid the tumult cease ttjttt trm, griorr- Teace," the herald cried, The message sent from Him who by Man's wrath or peace can still be glorified, To us is left the part to honor thsoe who fought in duty's right; To cherish every deed that tells of heroes, faithful hearts.

Yes, let the Old North State her honor keep And give a noble tribute to her sons that sleep. Give to a cause that bears beloved Dixie's name !

Denver Thoroughly Alarmed Chief of Police Arms His Men With Breech, loaders and Revolvers, Lays in a Stock or Dynamite Carl rldgres, and Bids Defl anee to tbe (Joreru nr and Militia f the Entire State. Denver, Col. M ircli lo. The political fight waged by Gov. Waite culminated today in most exciting scenes, and mob violence was imminent many times. In all probability had a shot been tired a mob would have quickly formed that would have captured the Governor lietore official assistance could have rescued him. On Fourteenth street the First Retri- mentofthe Colorado National Guards stood, flanking the Chaffee Light Artil lery, consisting offmr Galling guns. Their position commanded the entire front of the hall, an! at ouc time llie militia was under motion to attack tlie hall, when the arrivai of Secretary Lorenz with a message from the Governor, stayed the attack. This was for a delay to per mit another conference looking toward a peaceful settlement. INTENSE AJJXIETT IN THE CITY. From that time on until the United States troops were called out the most in tense anxiety prevailed. The Governor declared he would order the leilitia to fire upon the city hall regardless of the crowds of spectators, and the police board within as solidly maintained their position to resist attack. Soon after 6 o'clock this evening Chief ol i'olice btone received a telephone mes sage from Gen. McCook stating that he had ordered troops lrom Fort Logan to protect the chief and aid him in preserv ing order. DEFIANCE TO THE GOVERNOR. At 10 o'clock two wasron loads of breech-loading shotguns and ammunition were unloaded at police headquarters in the City Hall. The department was now equipped with a sbotgua and two 45 catibpr Colt revolvers for each man, in addition to the regulation club. A quan tity of dynamite cartridges was also stored in the police vaults in readiness for an emergency. "We will hold the City Hall against all attacks from the outside, if it takes dyna mite to do it," was the expression of Chief of Police Stone. "We have 110 men on duty and they will be here as long as they are needed. If the Gover nor wants 'blood to the bridles' we will give it to him, but he cannot have the City Hall-" The militia started from the armory promptly at 2 o'clock. Adjutant Gen. Tarsney was in command, assisted by Brigadier Gen. Brooks. At 3:15 p. m. Brigadier Gen. Brooks, accompanied by four aids-de-camp, rode up to the City Hall and stated the the Governor's orders must be obeyed. Gov. W aite remained iu his private room at the Douglass all day, and adinittej no ne but his closest friends untd a com mittee of citizens from the Chamber of Commerce called upon him late in the da v. The result was a failure to get him to consent to anything. "I shall order the military to hre, ' he reiterated. 'The people may assassinate me if they will, but I propose to have my way.'' Cook assertell'Ms bsilR)n',auu" 'prepared" to preserve the peace. ABBIVAL OF FEDERAL TROOPS. The troops, 600 strong, arrived at the Union depot at 8:15 o'clock by a special train from Fort Logan. The n.ilitia was sent back to the armory, and at 9 o'clock Gen. McCook ordered the troops to bi vouac at the depot until morning. He has held a conference with Gov. Waite, at which Adjt Geu. Tarsney and Brig. Gen. Brooks, of the Colorada National Guard, were present. The monster crowds are slowly dis persing: and the police have gone out on their regular beats. No mob violence is now anticipated. No effort to cause the arrest of Gov. Waite was made tonight, and hostilities have ceased. TROUBLE TOMORROW ALMOST CERTAIN. Late tonight Gov. Waite issued an order calling out every company of mili tia in the State. They are to come to tyenver immediately ready tq act. The Colorada National Guard consists of two regiments, one with headquarters here and the other in Pueblo. . The en lire force can muster probably 1,200 men. The Governor says the companies here are not sufficient to cope with the crowds and police force. They cannot reach Denver before Saturday. The sheriff will attempt to cause the arrest of Governor, Adjt. Gen. Tarsney, and Brig. Gen. Brooks early tomorrow morning. The United States troops will remain in the city until peace is assured, and tne nrominent men will continue to urge peaceable means of settlement. As Gov. Waite'seems insensible to ar guments looking to arbitration, peace can come about onlv by the withdrawal of the city hall people or by sotne action ot the courts that will restrain tne governor, Tbe situation now looks serious for to morrow. HISTORY OF THE TROUBLE. To understand the situation it must be known that some vears ago the citizens of Denver asked the Legislature to give them a new charter that would take the police, fire and public works department out of tne hands ot the munioioarity land put it in tho hands ol boards officered by appointments made by the Governor. It was believed that this would resort in removing the matter from the corrup tion of politics. Gov. Waite had shown a desire to make these departments subserve bis political ambitions and has tried to make all ot them political boards filled with Populist followers, The deposed members applied to the district court and obtained a temporary injunction to restrain the Govtrnor, the Mayor and Uie new members from taking noasestsion of the office of the police and (jre ljtrd by force. This was objected to, but after argu ments had been heard Judge Gr.ihain de clined to remove the injunction. Then after several days' deliberation the Gov ernor decided to ignore the injunction, and so issued last night his order to the. inili(.if. Cleveland's Shooting at a Discount. President Cleveland and his party have been considerably lauded for their success in bagging duoks and geese in the North Carolina sounds. It seems that the natives of the coast fajlti) render 'to !le President's prowess that admiration that has bet-n generally accorded him. We copy from the Use issue ot l lie iseaiiiort nerani one oil's local hunting items and also a reference to Cleveland's shooting: 'Capt. Wm. A.

Beautiful Poetic Lines Copied From a Pane of G'ass in This Ancient House of Worships. The following lines, written on a pane of glass in "Old Bltindl'o'd Church," at Petersburg, Va., wen-copied into the Prayer-Book of Mrs. .J unes G. (Miry E.) Stanly, formerly of New-Bern, by Mis Kate Beck with, many years ago. They have been attributed to many persons,. among others, the actor. Their author is not known, but their beautiful expres sion of the true spirit ol devotion and poetic sentiment are well worthy of a writer of great fnne. Old soldiers will well remember Bland ford Church. It was on the C mlederate lines around Petersburg in the late war, and its old church-yam, where great numbers of soldiers are buried, was the scene of many a stirring incident. Burials there were often attended with much dan ger, and in some instances funerals had to turn back, notably that of a clergyman so heavy was the firing thereabouts. The Church is not very far lrom the famous "Crater," and is about r lie same distance from the Federal '-Foit Sted man," in another direction. Mrs. Stanly was Aliss Mary Wilkins of New-Bern. Miss Beck with is now .Mrs. Spauld'.ng of New York. Bristol Parish, in which Bland ford is situated, was organized 'in 1642, but a church in this immediate neighborhood was not built until 1720, and Blaudl'ord Church, in its present situalion, not until 17iJd. It was often called the "Brick Church." Thomas Jefferson was the con tractor for the first. church, while Thomas Ravenscroft contracted to boild the church substantially as it now si amis. These as the names of others; and doubt less relatives of those mentioned; are too well known to require comment. Around the old church cluster reminiscences of early Colonial days, ot the Revolution and of the Confederacy, and among its Vestrymen are included many names dis tinguished alike in North Carolina and Virginia.

For the opening of Thy gate, Lest a word I fail to share Of the Holy service there.

Vain excuses, idle pleas, Well may suit cold worhly ease; Hearts that warm and thankful are Will for God no trouble spare. Help me Lord, lest I stray From Thy Church and Thee away.

Brazdian Government Forces Bomhaid the Insurgents for aa Hoar They Give Up Withont FIrlnjr a Shot. The Rebel Offlceis Take Retake on the Foieign Wgr Ships. The Brazilian Government did not at last accept Ve Gama's term' as was tele graphed over the country, and trave notice that they would open fire at nooa Tuesday, March 13th, and at noon of that day the Government forces began active op. rations against the insurgents, the forty eight hours notice given by Presi dent Peixot'.o having-erpired. The hill top batteries opened fire at 8 o'clock p. m. No reply was made by the insurgents. I he Government vessels entered the the harbor at 5 o'clock but did not fire. They found forts Villegagnon and Cobras abandoned ly the insurgents. The fleet wa- greeted with cheers from thousands of people on the hill tops and with sa lutes from all the Government forts. The insurgents' ships meanwhile hid them selves among the merchant vessels laying in thr. bay. Admiral Da Gama is reported to have fled aboard a French warship. The firing of the batteries lasted for an hour. The insurgents did not fire a shot husbanding their ammunition. fj At 4 o'clock, the Government fleet appeared off t lie harbor, the torpedo boat Aurora leadin '. Immediately upon the appearance of the squadron the rebels hauled down the white ensign from one of the ships, which was lying near Enchadas, and hoisted a signal which was answered lrom ashore. A launch containing an officer then went from one insurgent ship to another and each vessel lowered tbe white flag. Two torpedo boats from the Govern ment fleet outside then entered the bay. One of th"m went to Fort Villegagnon and it was shortly followed by the launch lrom the rebel's ship. A few minutes later the white ensign pe down from ihe fort and at 5:45 o'clock the Govern ment fleet came up the bay, being a welcome sight to the anxious people on shore. The war is practically over and the cause of the insurgents is a lot one. There is much rejoicing in Rio Janerio at the culmination of the struggle which has continued so many months. The rebel forces have surrendered un conditionally, almost without firing a shot. The officers of the insurgents' fleet have taken refuge on board French and Portuguese war ships. One French ves sel has put to sea with many of the rebel officers on board. w, Ai'UhMiMHl'Wr. rPferrf e Dressed Hogs. Capt. J. R. Lupton, of the schooner Carrie Reel, brought in a good number of pretty dressed hogs Wednesday from Pam lico, of his own, and of Mr. R. M. Hardon and Mr. S. V. Whitehurst's raising be sides other produce. Capt. Lupton tells us that he has not failed to have some fresh pork in his cargo on each trip to the city this winter, and cotton, corn, rice, potatoes, eggs, &c. The surplus of these crops among the farmers seems to have been more abun dant this year than ever before. Public Btiiuling and Post-master. Our news from Washington is highly gratifying. Capt. Matt Manly only awaits the arrival of his commission to take charge of the post-office through the Democratic administration.

The site for building is admirable; the lot is a splendid one conveniently located for the business interests of the city, and the building itself will be a convenience which every one will appieciate. Our post-efiice accomodations have lor years been biadequate,and all will rejoice to iet into a building that will meet the requirements of our growing business and population.
