Ik? daily topics for editorials in the Newxdr Observer. We wonder if the readers of our esteemed con temporary don't desire a change of enbjectH? Yary your, entertainment. The Alliance will take care of itwelf and we venture the opinion that all will be well in the due course of time. '"- ! ';- " - j , ' ' - There are to be found in all sec tions of this couuntry men, who can not fully agree with thej Alliance in its demands yet they say they are in sympathy witji thej movement The best and surest way; to manifest sympathy for" the movement is to join hands with tlie noble ', army en gaged in restoring the people's rights. This would be real and sub sta'ntialsympathy. j . y j ' Nothixo is ever accomplished by abuse. Men maj' honestly differ with each other on political, jsocial and other question s,' wt they s hould !not indulge ! in abuse because their Views do .not coincide, Arguments, based jtipou osric and common sense, are entitled to a hearing ana why isliould men iabilse each other 1 iw'hen they honestly differ? Ax attack upon the leaders of the Alliance may not', in all instances, be construed to mean '-an attack I upon the Alliance, "buti the members get very ".much incensed whn they, hear that their leaders are constantly being made the target of abuse and yillifi oation.

When the Pemocratic party rpi tained full conlrol" of the govern ment of North Carolina in 1876, in the election of Btate jofficers and a Leg-islature, it; Was confrontetl with a condition of affairs from that which bad verv different existed prior from to the war. We had suffered Kecoii'struction and the IIolden-Kirk war. The character of the citizen ship of the Stat? had entirely chang ed. There werc numerous indepen dent military poknpanijes, at different points whichi lowing to defective laws, could not be j required to per form: service, -nd, in order to plaice at the digposal and command of the Executive an s ironed aiid disciplined force of citizen Soldiery, upon whom he could' rely, and at all times call upon to preservi, (and when neces sary enforce) 14w and orderV this same Legislature,! composed very largely of old! Confederate soldiers, concluded that he necessity for or ganization wai as : paramount then as in 1861, when ; the Confederate army was organized. jAiid, as it be came necessary for independent com panies to make sacrifices, for 1 the Eurpose of organizing to defend their omes in 18G1J, So, in the minds of this Legislature it wa' necessary, for these companies to yield ready obedi ence to laws W to ensure the peace of the State. Accordingly, the Act creating-the State Guard was passed and ratified March 12th, 1877. This could only be done in (strict accord ance with thellavs and provisions of the General .Government, which, not only by Congressional Acts, had made an annual appropriation for the Militia of thei different States, but, prescribed the organization of the same; which to be similar in all respects, to tlutf bf tlie j U. S. Army. Otherwise, w fmighi have found companies throughout the South, which, for meresentiment, would be insisting on theJuse of the Stars and Bars as Insigm4 of Rank; Hardee's Tactics instead of Upton's; and f the old Enfield Mtizzle-loading Rifle, in place of the modern breech-loading Springfield, which is furnished by the Government! ; j ; ' '- Section 2 of the "Ac; creating the State Guard, states that the "North Carolina Stated Guard ! shall first be called on by theCbmniander-in-Chief on all occasionsfor military service." Section 7 reads as follows: ; "To each brigade, regiment, bat talion, and company (here shall be the same commissioned and non-com-commissioued j officers jrequired by the regulations bfj the U. IS.

Company E," Hornet's Nest Ri flemen. ; Company "F," Charlotte Greys. The officers of the above compan ies met at. Wilmington, N. C, on the 10th' of April 1877, and elected Charles Ilaigh Lieutenant Colonel. ) Tlje first order, describing, and prescribing a State regulation dress, was issued and numbered G. O. No. 1, January 1st, 1884. It seems to hkve ibeen- generally complied with-; There were a few exceptions how ever, "whose excuse for delay was gen erally understood to be their inabili ty to pay for new clothing. This order was afterwards countermanded by Governor Scales in G. O. No. 2, Series of 1886; but on February 12th, 1888; Gor. Scales issued G, O. No. 2, again describing a new regulation uniform, and "peremptorily orderina it 9 adoption and positive use bn all occasions of State service. This or der was, in turn, followed by a simi lar order, G. O. No. 2, March 1 st, 1890i issued by Gov. Fowle. This last order was obeyed by every com pany in the State Guard save one. That company wrote the Commander-in-Chief that this order "was not in accord with their wishes, but tees exceedingly repugnant to their tastes and feelings" and, therefore, "they would look into the matter and ascer tain if the, order applied to them," though directed to and received by their commanding officer. : Think of an officer in the regular Army of the United States writing to his Superior that one of his or ders was exceedingly repugnant to his tastes and feelings, &c." The Commander-in-Chief replied that the order must be obeyed, but if the company entered the Guard under a misapprehension, then it would be allowed to honorably with draw, and resume its "independent status," which course was adopted. , "ftidependent Companies" were con templated as forming a part of any regufarly organized body of troops. The reasons therefor are so manifest that they do not require expression nor argument. They generally : arm and equip themselves according to their own taste and fancy, and while of course liable under the general laws of the land, for military service in emergency (as every other male citizen within a certain age) yet they are never born on the military rolls of the State, are never ordered by the State to muster or parade, make no official reports to the State military authorities, and, as far as the State is Concerned, are considered no more a part of the regular j military estab lishment than the Knights of Pythias, Knights j Templar and other private associations, who, for their own pur poses and pleasure, wear a uniform dres8X)f their own selection. ' To this condition of affairs, and so long as such organizations confine them selves to and are content with their purely separate and; "Independent" exisfence, 110 reasonable man can object; but when such an organiza tion! voluntarily enters the State service, whose rules and regulations they obligate themselves to be gov erned by, and, while claiming all the rights and privileges of the State service, yet, "ask to be excused from being governed by its laws and regula t ions " " yon see at once what discord and utter subversion of all discipline and order are necessarily bound to ensue. Hence the resolutions of the State Guard Association, passed at Camp Fowle, lose altogether the in vidious semblance of fractious per sonality (which sonie have been too ready to ascribe to them) and assume their real and honest proportions, as an expression of the desire of this ad junct of the State Guard t secure the, maintenance of discipline with out partiality! or discrimination. Surely there can be nothing unkind, unjust or 'Offensive to military sensi tiveness iij this action based 11 j ton the foregoing facts. W. R. Kexax. The gentleman whose name is signed above is the Captain of the Wilmington Light Infantry. It is his desire to place this matter in the proper light before the people1 and those-who censured the officers of the Guard for their action, without having obtained all the facts in the case; Ac i Ed. . A Hint to merchants. The merchants should certainly b on the side of their customers, " the farmers, 111 this movement for a bet ter State.

Dnsiness dnigs ltecau the people are so op pressed that they cannot afford to uuy ami are oongeu 10 as.K ereuit ror even; the few necessities which they are compelled to purchase. The merchants know this to be a fact; and they know, too, that their busi ness can: never flourish while this condition prevails. Why not come out on the side of the people and aid in the, work of removing the difficulties under which every honorable occupation ! lan- guishes? Greenfield (Mo.) Pointets. The ItlUitla Appreciated. Tennesseee- has not believed that the ! appropriation to the voluntary militia paid. Rut its recent -troubles has wrought a change of ; opinion and the Legislature has appropriated 25,000 for her volunteer . troops. The State Guard of each State ought to find a generous and cordjal sup port. At personal sacrifice, and of ten at the risk of life they stand as a protection to life and . property, and they, deserve not only, help but cor dial 'synipithy and co-operation. State Chronicle, t I The government can: guarantee loans for railroad corporations and pay the interest besides, it can loan its credit to National Banks and fur nish them money without interest; it can take the liquid damnation of the distiller, issue deposit checks for what his trust Bays it is worth, and gve him time on his taxes, bat to issue warehouse certificates on the farmer's corn or cotton would be un constitutional.

Investigations recently undertaken bv direction of the Pope, are said at the Vatican, to show that mixed marriages betwjeen Catholics and Protestants usually have a bad effect oh both faiths. Several Bishops have expressed the opinion to the Holy See that such mixed marriages should lie made more difficult. It is not yet , known what decision the Holy office will take on the subject. In any case, the question - has been opened and will probably soon be de termined one way or the other. William F, Sbeebani, Democratic nominee for Lieut. Governor of New York, is only- 31 years old.

They thereupon dumped the small iron chest, which contained-$2560, out of the express car door, and breaking it open. took the entire amount. Tbey made no attempt to rob the passengers and there was but one shot fired. The robler8 wore maks of red 1 flannel, and after completing the job took to the wood with their booty.
