A PLAIN ISSUE. -" I
The question to be considered by
all white men who are so unfortunate.
as to be poor in this world's goods is
this: Are they 'willing to support a
party that insists On the education of
white children and negro children in
the same schools ? This is the issue.
Jot satisfied with, taxing the whites
to educate the negroes, the Radicals
demand that the two races shall be
snbjected to the doctrine of social
equality by association in 'mixed
schools. This is the provision of the
civil rights bill on the public school
question, and it is enough of itself to
place every white man in North Caro
lina in the ranks of the Conservative
party. ' , . , -. 0

that he , has .unconditionally accepted the
unanimous call, extended to him same
mouths since by the First Presbyterian
Church of this city. ' -
This is gratifying news not only to the"
Church to which he has been called but also
to the religious and general public at large.
Dr. Wilson is one of the leading clergymen
in the South, a man of large culture, fine
native talent, adniirabfe address, and Is as
estimable in social life as he is eminent in
his sacred, profession,;; The. clergy of all
denominations in the State may be congratu
lated upon his accession to their number..
Dr. Wilson was Professor of Pastoral and

says of that elephant: V. It is a good-natured

none the less an elephaht, and" the i happy"

sanctioned by immemorial nsagej and one
which mush'tbeibld and cannot be given

V A-Washington correspondent ; explains
that the resolution adopted in the. House
Wednesday to appoint a special committee
to investigate Governmental affairs in Ar
kansas, was a purely partisan proceeding,
and' would never havebeen thought, of i
the President, had . recognized Brooks in
stead of Baxter. The passage of the reso-.
lution was 'argued' by ail of the Arkansas
delegates except Wilshire, ' while the; roll
was being called the representative were.
running about the hall importuning mem
members to vote for it' Arkansas 'has hot
through any body of citizens requested
Federal interference.' South Carolina has,
and yet when the Democrats proposed1 to'
unite South Carolina with!' Arkansas in the
resolution,' objections were heard from all
quarters on the Republican side. Senators
Claytoq and Dorsey were also very active
on mefloorof the Houston persuading
Rcablican"mei&bes to vc for the" reso
lution. It would seem that Mr. Clayton
could not be a sincere investigator since it
is Commonly believed that he . himself has
been guilty of the groesst bribery. Similar
charges have been made affecting the elec
tion of Mr. Dorsey. V, It is believed that the
principal object which these two parties
have in getting up this Congressional inves
tigation is to counteract: as far as possible
the effect of damaging disclosures agaidSt
themselves, which they are now fully war
ranted in looking for. ' !' . ' I

bunders of the Constitution. . It may
be a civil polity based , upon parliaJ

stich as we have seen" here for nearly
a hundred years. - Tlie people
will not consent to see either a Po-;
land or- an "Ireland -created on this
soil. - U Look at South Carolina.
The facts in reference ,to that State
seem to be about as well established
as any historical facts can be, and
they amount to this the negroes, as
sisted by rascally; whites, .have held a
sort of grand orgie in the State - for
several years past have swallowed up
among them pretty; nearly all the
private property in the State, have
ruined what may be called the natiye
citizens even, more thorough! r than i
me- war caa none, otvo ruuueu, ana
harried" like "so many highwaymen,
and have reduced the State to a con
dition which mast shock every man
who sees it or -reads about it. The
Legislature is a gang of thieves. Is
this a "Republican govern ment' such
as the Constitution expressly guaran
tees to all the States ? - .
We venture to say that it is not ?
that, on the contrary, it is a govern
ment of which the Republic has
every reason to be ashamed. ; .,,

baaed oh' a careful and wise regard
for the welfare of the living, not

very fair. amount of, protection. It
is important ' before .: going , any
further to find' out what use he has
made of. the freedom giveht'o1iim ;
in what war . he has exercised the

has been endowed; what sort of a
