1 L WILMINGTON, N.C, THURSDAY, APRIL lO, 1879. -i .wvy ci jl car, 5 Cents a Copy -' ' ' " . ii KITC11IS. Part ol His Speech. Our friend, the spirited Representative from the. Second District, is a Marat debate, and some of his cavalry char in res are truly admirable: From hi3 speech on the Army Appropriation; bill, delivered in the House of Representatives last Thurs day, we take as much as we can stow away in The Sex : Most of what has been' said on the other side is upon the hypothesis or prevailing idea that in the President is concentrated all the sovereign power3 of the nalion, and that the government was founded and has been perpetuated for the sole benefit .and shield of the" Republican party, aiid that no one not a member of that august body, ami not on the stool of repentance asking admission therein, is entitled to the privileges, protection, and benefits of the constitution, and i that the much abused terms ''Government and Constitution" are only synonyms for "Republican party and President." This is avery great mistake. In their passion and "zeal for the suceess of tnei creeds anu theories to which they are wedded, I fear . they have allowed their prejudices to overbear their judgments Mr. Chairman, itas assumed upon the other side of the Hall that the Executive will exercise the veto power in case this bill should pass both Houses in its present shape, and that the result of such action will be to stop the whole Government ma chinery and thereby destroy the Govern ment by withholding sup-plies. Unless the other side are in the eecrets of the Kxecu tive they have neither a moral, legal, nor constitutional right to make such an as sumption; out, upon the contrary, every presumption legal, moral, and equitable is against such a violent conclusion. Pre cendents, custom, right, justice, fair deal ing, the Constitution, and his oath of office are all against such an unreasonable anu unjust assumption of power on the part o the President. On the other hand, if the Executive has informed his political friends that he will veto this bill, or has even in timated to them that such would be his policy, he is guilty of a, great breach courtesy to the legislative department and it smacks of dictation to the legislative branch of the Government, and, if I mis take not, is in violation of the spirit of the Constitution and his oath of oflice. If no such information or intimation has been given a great injustice has been indirectly inflicted upon the President in the course of this discussion. Should an Executive attempt to defeat -the express will of a njajority of the pco- f)le without cogent and- powerful reasons, ie would appear more in the attitude of a tyrant dictating terms to a fallen and conquered foe than the chief ruler of a free and independent people. Should one man assume voluntarily, as it would us in this case, such grave responsibility as to stop the wheels of the Republic, and misfortune should follow, remorse would forever cling to his conscience, and a just and righteous verdict of a proud, intelligent, and indepen dent people would consign him and his party to oblivion's retreat, where the hand of resurrection could never reach them. But it is none of our concern what the Ex utive will or will not do. .Congress is the making and repealing power, and the Ex ecutive the power to have them put into execution, with a supervisory power resid ing in the judiciary to see that they be con stitutional. The honorable gentlemen need not remind this House of the civil results that might flow from the anticipated act of the President; it will neither drive nor lead from an honest aird faithful discharge of duty; we will perform our duty to the country and let thepi assume the responsi bility of fearing the will of the majority and, if you please, as they say, destroy ing the Government. I plant myself on this rock and say, in the language of the valiant Fitz James. Come one, come al, this rock shall fly From its firm base.as soon as I . Rut uplifting in. your distempered im aginations the bleeding and mangled forms of your noble and gallant dead will not pro long your lease of power. Proridence in his inscrutible wisdom and unlimited mercy, has decreed your downfall. You have been extremely disobedient to the commands of justice, and your final destruction has been - longe delayed to give room for repentance and reformation, but they came not, and you must pay the sere're penalty of your nianv transgressions. The order has been issued by the voices- of near fifty millions of 1 people, and it would be more dignifled and becoming to step down and out in silent submission, and quietly - surrender the con trol of the nation into other -and better hands, who will be required upon convic tion, after being tried and found wanting, to follow in your footsteps.: You have our ' sympathies in your sorrows and lamenta tions over your lost fortunes, blasted hopes, and future uncertainties; but a, stern sense of honor and duty to "the Union of the States, and to the verdict of the people and ? love for the Constitution, constrains us to restrain our sympathy for our fallen breth ren and dispense with or release you for a - period at least from the responsibility of making laws, and'bid you Godspeed in all that is great, noble, and glorious; aud i trust, gentlemen, vhile you are in the mi nority, you will learn to follow that golden rule, so often departed from inithis degen erate age, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. One more word and I am done. The gentleman asserted that the South was largely Republican and if protected would send a Republican! delegation to this House. This is a mistake, and it is one of those of which Talleyrand says, ''they are worse than crimes," a mistake which causes a-Southern iran to call for soldiers to watch his fellow-citizens when they exercise the rights of freemen. And he seems very much outraged because he had no colored men from the South by his side. He lives in a large Republican district in East Tennessee. Why did not the gentle man give 08 a living witness on this floor of the truth of his doctrine by staying at home and sending a colored gentleman here to occupy his seat? He had the i MM . 1 V 1 1 puwer io QO SO. ine uonumuic jjcuucuiiii rrom Maine, (Mr. Frye,) too, expressed great feeling for his absent colored friends. it8? to ttat gentleman, set us the exam EJL 8taying home and sending the coL rea brethren from your district North I IaflTe from the South for 17 one Jou send from the North.

The staid -old Boston Advertiser has discovered in its city a "National Farmer's Association," which was organized a few months ago for the purpose of encouraging the Southern negroes to emigrate to the Northern and Western States- and settle upon government lands. The way had been prepared for this and similar associa tions (for the "National Farmers' " is only one of several) by the circulation of polit ical documents among the negroes the past two years, the most pungent of which emanated from Boston, and stirred the colored folks up to discontent with their situation and a passion for change. The "Farmers' Association" aimed particularly at getting the emigrants into Northern Texas, but the current lias started the other way and Kansas is4iowthe Prom ised Land of the deluded people. . It is all supposed to be a philanthropic movement on the part of the Boston folks, of course, though it is a little difficult at present to see exactly where the philanthropy comes in. What the South oinplains Of. Charleston Xeirsnnl Courier. What the South complains of, and with reason, is that violations of law in the South are regarded in the North; as some thing exceptional and monstrous, calling for special reprobation. This course prompts the South to demonstrate that there is as much brutality and crime in one part of the country as in, another. It is unprofitable, of course, but natural. The dangers of lawlessness in the South are not lessened by exhibitions of bloody fe rocity in the .North. On the contrary, each aggravates each. Crime is crime wherever it takes place, and is to be re buked 'ami reprehended whatever the provo cation or excuse. This is the feeling in the South to-day, and nothing stands in the way of this feeling becoming effective and all-Dowerful but thei uuceasiug and unreasonable abuse of the Soutju, by Northern newspapers, whenever blood is shed on this side of the Potomac.

The term of the Superior Court Clerk expired ; in August, 1878, (though re-elected) when the Justices ofjtBerPeace elected the plain tiff, clerk' of the Inferior Court. Thirds The riffht and duty of the defendant to discharge the duties of the clerk of the In ferior Court have begun as an incident to the office of Superior Court Clerk did not depend on the continuance nor terminate with it. Hillsboro Recorder: At court Florence Hopsen,. colored, indicted for the murder of her brother, Isham Davis, submitted to a sentence of manslaughter and was sen tence to six years in the penitentiarv. Her husband for complicity had already been sentenced at Alamance court to nine years. In the case of the State vs Rebecca Ann Lyon an indictment had been found against her for the murder, of Nancy Blech- well and chldren. Robert Boswell, now under sentence of death for particiDation in the same crime was coiivicted of the crime at the fall term of Oranere Superior Court, and Rebecca Lyon was an import ant witness lor the State. An- indictment was found agafnst her at the same terra of the court, under which she wasarraigned. When her case was called at this time, her counsel, Messrs. Ruffin and Graham raised the objection, that the record of the last court had not been made up as ordered by Jadge Kerr; that the plea'to the iudict- ment had been made conditionally with the onaerstanaing mat it should not prejudice her equitable claim to protection from the court as an accomplice ot lioswell in con sideration of the use of her testimony by the State; that Judge Kerr had ordered the arraignment to be stricken out and that it appears that the order; had not been entered. Judge Buxton directed the re cord to be amended nunc pro tunc, but denied the motion of the counsel for the defendaut to order the dischrrge of the prisoner; upon which denial, the counsel took an appeal to the Supreme Court; and the case goes up to determine a very nice and a somewhat new question in North Carolina as to the extent of the immunity to which States evidence is entitled to the light which, as acomplices, they are en abled to throw upon crime, Quhele department of Robcsonian, Kenneth Bethune, alias Peter Monroe.the Richmond county rapeist, according to re liable information received here, has been in the lower part of thig county ever since thexommissioibf tfce terriblfcCtrime.

The law expounding power. 3. .The law oxecuting power, and finally the ultimate sovereign power of the ballot box. They are for a free ballot as well as for a fair and just count. While they are opposed to a large stand ing army as were the powers of the consti tution, yet they are for keeping the army sufficiently Jarge to repel invasion defend our -extensive frontier as well as all neces sary interior parts and garrisons and to enable the President to' put down domes tic violence or insurrection un any of the States, and" in afd of civil officers as a posse comitatus in execution of legal process in pursuance of the constitution, and as pro vided in the acts of Congress of 1795 and 1807.'

They are for maintenance of the public credit inviolate, but are utterly opposed to the increase of the bonded debt, un'.ess exigencies of war should render it necessary. They are for retrenchment of expenditures lessening the burden of taxation, and a thorough re form in j the present unequal and unjust method of raising revenue. They are for placing coinage of gold "and silver upon the same footing without restriction or limitation upon amount of either. They are for reviving the languishing and perishing industries of the country by an in crease of the volume of carrency founded on a sound basis safficient to meet argent demands of haste in every department of labor and business.
