' . r , ;' In the course of some remarks on Sunday morning, relative 1 to a book written by Mr. Henry O. Brace, a for mer slave, we referred to the strong under-current of affection and admiration for the first-class Southern whites that ran through all the narrative. New comes the New York; Ban's correspon dent, "Manhattan," who has been trav - eling in the South, and who, as we have nowj uau occasion to note, nas maae especially intelligent use of his opportu nities for observation. He writes: . MMr. Gorge VanderbUt la spending his money Uke water at Bilt more, but the peo ple who get it are critical of him a an un American product. Even the negroes, whose daily wages he has increased by nearly a bail, are not grateful to him. They take more pride in a Southern abode of plain wood, which before his coming was the most notable residence of the country. . than in his noble Gothic palace, with its incomparable surroundings. They prefer the Southern man, and a Southern lady awakens in them an admiration which, try as best they can, they are unable to give and feel to a Northern woman. The South erners complain of these simple people as llffcVfnff dftfillnMl ffl I MnMifnl mAnnAM Knt . they do not know the luxury of genuine re- giu ius ouju; uvu biitjui . negro nas , vices, in some respects, peculiar to him. He does not like to work, but he has also vir tues which engage for him the not surpris ing sympathy of the Southern people, to whom he looks for protection, and whom ' 'htt Pflff&M, with n ri m i .Inn .

He complains, everybody complains, of bis sit uation ; but he Is happy, and his happiness most interesting and enjoyable part of this troubled and workaday Union." "Manhattan" is a Northern man a resident of New York we infer from the nom-de-plume he has adopted, but a native of New England, as certain references and allusions of some of his preceding lettters would seem to indicate. He perceives, however, what every observant student of social con ditions; at the South has perceived be fore him. that..

That is the reason the Southern negroes do not "ilee from their heA.rt.lAsa because the heartless persecutor of xu reiis making is in fact a friend and every Southern negro knows it. There is a great deal of truth in both of the above quotations the one from " Manhattan " and the other from the Post. We are not quite certain whether it is exactly true or not that the North erner is incapable of inspiring in the negro the same regard that he enter tains for the Southerner, but it is an undoubted fact that there are no two peoples on earth who understand or like each other better than the negro and the well-bred Southern white man, and emphatically true that the high-watermark of a negro's admiration is reached in his contemplation of the genuine high-bred Southern lady. THE MONROE DOCTRINE IN BUSINESS. Gen. I. W. Avery, commissioner of the Cotton States and International Ex position! to be held this fall at Atlanta, has recently returned from a journey through the South American countries in the interest of the fair. He gives a number of reasons why the trade of the United States with their neighbors to the South suffers in comparison with foreign trade. He says: (1) . We have no banks in South Amer ica. Europe has them everywhere. (2) . We rup but; few steamships to South America. Europe runs them everywhere there. (3) . We have no United States stores in South America. Europe has her stores in all Darts of tht (4) . We sell for cash. Europe rives credit. (5) . Europe makes goods and packs neui w suu iue noam American trade We don't. These are reasons to be pondered thoughtfully by the business men of this county. The value of the yearly imports of the United States from South American States is upwards of 1100, 000,000, yet we only send back to those countries $32,000,000 worth of goods every year. The foreign trade with Latin-American countries amounts to $911,000,000 annually.. We make a great fuss every now and then about the Monroe doctrine. What we need to do is to practice the Monroe doctrine in a commercial and business way. Our trade with South America and Mexico is increasing. The two halves! of the hemisphere are getting to be bet ter friends politically and industrially every decade.

Washington, 'April 22. The board of engineers selected, by President Cleve land in accordance with the act of Con gress, to visit Nicaragua and investi gate the feasibility, permanence and expense of constructing the inter-oceanic ship canal will probably organize to morrow, Major Wm. Ludlow, the army member, having arrived in New York to-day from London, where he has re cently been military attache to. the American embassy. He reported his arrival by telegraph to Adjutant Gener al Ruggles and announced that he would report at the War Department to-morrow. Commander M. T. Endi cott, the naval member, has been sta tioned in Washington in charge of the public works of the navy for several years. The Civilian member, Alfred Noble, of Chicago, reached Washington to-day and is prepared to commence his duties at once. The formal appointment of the mem bers of the board has awaited their ar rival and their commissions will not be issued until to-morrow, when it is also expected they will receive their instruc tions. The cruiser Montgomery is still at Mobile, where according to Secretary Herbert's arrangement, the board will join her for transportation to Greytown and the vessel will remain there while the investigation is in progress. As the board is compelled to report its findings and conclusions to. the President not later than November 1st, it is expected that they will leave for the Isthmus with the least possible delay, probably first going to New York for a day or two to examine the plans and contracts of the canal company at its offices there COAL AT KEY WEST. The New York and Colombia Will Sail for Europe About Jane 1st. Washington, April 22. Secretary Herbert has ordered Admiral Meade tu send the cruiser Minneapolis to Kings ton to take on 500 .tons of coal which remained in a colliery at that port when the fleet left for San Domingo, and which could not be sent to Colon on ac count of the exorbitant freight rates The New York, Columbia, Atlanta, Kaleighand Cincinnati will sail direct ly from Colon for Key West, where nearly 4,000 tons of West Virginia coal nave been sent for their use. Any por tion of this that the New York, Colum bia and Cincinnati do not need will be landed at the Key West naval station for future use. The New York and Co lumbia will stay but a few days at Key West and will then hurry to the New York navy yard to prepare for their cruise to the Kiel celebration, which occurs June 19tb. Captain Evans, oi the New York, expects to get awav from New York for Europe about June 1st, when Admiral Meade's flag will be transferred to the Minneapolis. Secre tary Herbert says one. of the vessels will return to Colon from Key West but all the others will come North. The Montgomery will be used to convey the members or the Nicaraguan Canal com mission to Greytown. MT. BOLLY NOTES. Items About Charches and Personals.

A strong and vigorous fight against the free and un limited coinage of silver, independent of international agreement, is to be made by the administration. With that end in view, officers to the various execu tive departments, appointed under the present administration, are being urged to organize systematically for the pur pose of conducting the contest along the lines laid down in the President's message. Many of the higher officials who enjoy reputations at home as stump-speakers, will probably take to the field early in the summer, and oth ers are even now engaged in writing letten&to their local papers or personal friends, impressing upon them the im portance of sustaining the administra tion in the position it has outlined. Federal officers in the several States will be organized as a Nucleus about which all who uphold the administra tion, or, rather, who are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver will be expected to rally.' There are nearly 200,000 government officers, postmasters, internal revenue officers, customs omcers, aiswici attor neys and innumerable contractors scat tered throughout the country. These will be expected to do the aggressive fighting in tne neid ana win oe ampiy furnished with documents and the necessary sinews of war from Washing ton. Nearly all of the cabinet officers will take the stump for one or more speeches. Secretary Carlisle will cer tainly make two jot more speecnes in the Kentucky campaign. Secretary Morton will deliver an address in Chi cago and perhaps one in St. Louis. Secretary Herbert and Congressman Clarke will probably speak in Alabama. Postmaster General Wilson is being urged to go West and speak in Illinois and Indiana and may find time to do so late in the summer. The President is represented as being thoroughly in earnest in the proposed crusade against free and unlimited coinage of silver, and will leave no stone unturned to prevent the free silver sentiment from gaining head way and to crush it out it possible. As taritr reform was tne test oi party fealtv in his campaign for the presi dential nomination, active support of his demands -for the repeal or the Sherman purchasing clause the test of party fealty in 1894, so in 1896 the test of party fealty will be uncom promising opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the, United States independent of inter national agreement. Perfected State organizations with this end in view are now being formed and these or ganizations will be extended to the counties and even into districts. CHARLOTTE AND WINSTON. There Should Be No Rivalry Between the Two Cities Charlotte's Record on Pants. To the Editor of the Observer: This communication is not intended for any comparison, but merely to cor rect the impressions left by your cor respondent in Sunday's Obsehveb, who wrote of the relative volume of business of Charlotte and Winston. Winston is a live town, full to the brim with hustlers, and Charlotte re joices iu her prosperity and hopes and belives she will continue to grow and prosper and always stands ready to help push her up the "hill of good fortune. The two cities don't stand in each oth er's way at all; on the contrary,, they are bound together in such a way each can help the other to their mutual ad vantage. So it is your correspondent 1 am after not Winston. Now. if he bad said our eight cotton factories pay out in wages $30,000 per month in wages instead of that amount annually, he would then have been below the record. The Southern Railway pays out as much here in wages, or more, than all our factories combined and the Seaboard half as much. Our cotton men' pay for, receive and handle here, over four million dollars worth of cot ton yearly at $25 per bale. Our lumber interests alone require one million dol lars a year. Our banks do nearly one half of the entire banking business of the State. Our building and loan asso ciations transact a combined business requiring nearly half a million annual ly. Our city taxes alone amount to S0,000 a year. Yet we have surplus money enough to take stock in forty cotton factories in the Piedmont sec tion, outside of Charlotte. The two largest cotton factories in the State, McAden's and Hcnretta. are owned al most entirely by Charlotte people. It would be impossible to enumerate our varied business enterprises and small industries without osiog one whole side of your paper, so I will take one item alone pants, and what could we do without pants? We turn out 7,000 pairs of pants a week and sell them from New York to Texas. So we will tackle Winston on pants, leaving out evervthing else, and when she beats us on t$at industry we will spring another on her. We defy not Winston only, but the whole State, on pants. EISTIS INVESTIGATING. He Makes Inquiry Iato the Reason for the Arrest of John L. Waller By French Authorities. Washington, April 23. Secretary Gresham has directed Mr. Eustis, the United States Ambassador to France, to ascertain from the French government the reason for its arrest and detention of John L. Waller, United States Con sul at Tamatave, who arrived in con finement at Marseilles on a French war ship Saturday. Mr. Eustis has been investigating the matter and it is said he has secured from the French gov ernment a promise that Waller will be tried by a civil instead of a - military tribunal. James M. Langston, ex-minister at San Domingo, wao is Waller's counsel in the United States, with reference to to the concession obtained by the latter from the Malagassy government, said to-day that he be'ieved the report re cently published that Waller was tried by a French military court in Madas car and sentenced to 20 years penal servitude, incorrect. It is his under standing that Waller had not been tried, convicted and sentenced, and he was also of the opinion that the French government arrested Waller merely for the purpose of getting him out of Mad agascar in order that the valuable con cession of rubber land obtained from the Hovas might be nullified. P 1 ' Mr. Langston is very much gratified over the promptitude' with which the State Department has acted in the mat ter aad he believes that this will secure fair treatment for his client. . He added that there was Absolutely no truth ia the report that Waller had . renounced bis allegiance to th United States. Looks Liko a Jadn. Raleigh News aud Observer, 21st. . Judge H. R.

To the Editor of the Observer I have read the editorial page of .the Progressive Farmer for years. . I also read the leading State and national Re publican papers. I give it as. my delib erate opinion that there is not a more unfair and conscienceless paper pub lished any where than the Progressive Farmer. It is full of misstatements of facts and base insinuations, weekly. . In nothing has it shown itself more despicable than In its treatment of the Lansing accusations. Mr. Cleveland said those accusations were "wholesale lies." . The Progressive Farmer says that he does not deny. them. What an opinion must a paper have of the Intel-. ligence or the majority oi its constitu ency when It gives Itself up to slander and falsehood. I send you two clippings which I trust you can nna space ior. One is from a Boston Methodist paper, presumably the organ of Rev. Lansing's Church; the second is from the Phila delphia Ledger, an Independent Repub lican -paper, i i venture to say mat money could not hire the Progressive Farmer to reproduce these cuppings in its columns. "Rev. L J. Lansing. D. D.4 pastor of Park Street Congregational church. Boston, delivered the address at the an niversary of the Mew England uonier- ence Temperance Society, at "Salem, April 4th. In his address he distinctly declared that President Cleveland was intoxicated at the naval review in New York. This accusation has aroused a storm of indignation throughout the country, and the regret is general and profoundly sincere tnat tnis . Distin guished minister made so grave a charge against the occupant of the highest of fice in the gift or tne people ruven were the statement true, it would ha ve been much more discreet not to have uttered it. But it appears, beyond question, from the President s own statement and from those wno were nearest to him on the day in question, that not only was he not intoxi cated, but that he had not tas ted liquor. 'Webb, the long time and most reliable correspondent of the Boston Journal, though not in sympathy politically with the Presi dent, says in a dispatch to that paper: Mr. Cleveland is not a drunkard. lie has not been a prohibitionist, as very few men in public life are. But those who know him intimately say that he is not only strictly temperate, but, as a matter of fact, to speak with exactness, since the operation on his jftw two sum mers ago, he has used no intoxicating beverages whatever.' While we have no doubt tnat ur. Lansing iuuy accred ited the information as reliable upon which he based his assertion, there seems now to be for him no other manly and Christian course but to humbly confess his indisoretion and to ask President Cleveland and an indig nant public to condone his wrong. Of course the ministers of the new England Conference, and the members of the Methodist Church as a whole, utterly disclaim all responsibility for this rash charge." Zion s Herald (Methodist), Boston. .,The truth with regard to President Cleveland as it is known to those who know him most intimately in his pub lic and private life, abroad and at home is that he is an exceptionally temperate, or even abstemious man, both with regard to what he eats and what he drinks. Mr. Cleveland is not only a rigorously self-respecting man, maintaining in all places and at all times the dignity of bis great office, a fine sense of what is due to his own manhood, and a most chivalrous re spect and honor for womanhood, but he is also a religious, a devout man, who zealously conforms his conduct to his principles and beliefs. Any state ment made by anyone which in any manner or degree conflicts with this Is absolutely, maliciously false and slan derous, the-statement of the Rev. Dr. Lansing beingespeciallyso." Philadel phia Ledger (Ind.) observer. FIVE NEGROES LYNCHED. And the Worst of It Three of Them Were Women They Killed a Man and Then Barned the Body. Atlanta, Ga., April 21. A dispatch to the Constitution from ureenvHIe, Ala., says: Five persons were arrested yesterday near Butler Springs, this county charged with the murder of Watts Murphy, a splendid young man and nephew of our former Governor, Tom Watts. Of these two were men and three were women, all colored. Their names were John Rattler, Zeb Colley, Martha Greene, Alice Greene and Mary Deane. Another negro man, who was also implicated made his es cape. A posse of brave and determined men who had charge ot the five prison ers started from Butler Springs, a dis tance of about sixteen miles west of Greenville, with the five prisoners, at about 10 or 11 o'clock last night, with the object ot placing them all in the county jail for trial. At 3 o'clock this morning, at a lonely place en route, the party, which was' slowly wending its way to the Greenville jatl was halted and commanded upon pain of instant death to be still. A hundred, probably, of brave and deperately determined men, with arms in their hands, took the Ave prisoners from the guards and hung them to the limbs of trees and left their bodies dangling in that position. Last week Watts Murphy, the mur dered man was waylaid, killed and his body cremated. Nothing of his where abouts was known and his family be came alarmed and instituted a search for him. One of the old family servants, Zeb, finally told what he knew of the missing man. His confession involved four others and it was reported' that all of them confessed the crime before they were swung up. GERMANS FOR GOLD.

Ad dresses have been sent to the Wurtem tfurg Minister of State with the prayer that the Wurtemburg ministry will in conjunction with the other German States, do everything possible to pre vent any action that would shake the firm foundation of the monetary sys tem, which has for over twenty years proved its Inestimable value, and that no concessions whatever shall be made."
