Upon investigation it was found tliat they were fed well enough and their complaint had no good foundation,-; -'-,-; ; ; i But since there is such a scramble for the Sheriff's office it shows that some body is making money out of it rapidly, and it would be well enough for our eounty commissioners to investigate and see it tlie prisoners could not be fed cheaper.

The fine crop of figs in this , section this season reminds; us of an, incjdeut that occurred in 1803 gust below the city on the South bank . of the Neuse. The 27th Regiment was encamped at Fort Lane, and the boys were in the hab it of foraging around in the '..neighbor hood for fruit and vegetables. Ono day a nuniiier oi mem, among wnom was a young man by 'the liame of George W urady, or Kinston, came up the river aud went to a farm that had been de serted by its owner, and cleaned every half ripe grape from'tho Vineyard. Not satisfied with this, he visited the fig tree ami stored away in his bosom, next to his skin, a lot of green and half ripe li;.rs. On their way back down the riv er shore George became frantic; he tore off hisi hiit, scratched, jumped around, r.n " Uto the water and out again, rolled on tho H ind,' aud, though' "good look ing, a luilly made ugly faces.

MiU hell, that wan lor a time and during the nt t eventful part of his life, the home of the younger Kp.iiglst. There he arranged many of those excit ing and ramoiiti iNiitSe:il I'aimKi isruffT when iiiopHKation to John Stanly, John II. Bryan and others, for the Legislature and for Congress. There then, too, lion' pitality was diiqiensed with a liberal hand, aud the free use of the "redden ing punch" carried our fathers back to the convivial nnd spirited days of the old Bryan tavern. Opposite on Craven street was the Stanly mansion,' where resided John Stanly. Still we think it stately, thouf,h it passed through all the years of the Revolution It has an aristocratic ap pearance, of which the Republicanism, beginning with the ending of the war of independence and extending to this day, could not rob it. It is the most appropriate monument that could have been erected to the memory of its pro jector, John Wright Stanly. This pa triot is entitled to a monument in brass or marble. But it may be, as Mr. Macon said, "since the invention of types mon uments are fit for nothing.'' . ' The dust of Nathaniel Greene, distin guished among distinguished captains and-patriots,rests in an unknown grave. lias lost none of the vigor of his intel lect, and exhibits an uncommon famil iarity with parliamentary forms and usages.". We believe, after being Speaker of tlie House of Representatives for a term of years, and then United States Senator until he voluntarily withdrew from the Senate, this was his last public service Yes, he believed, as another has also said, that since the invention of types monuments may foment the arts, but are equivocal proof of gratitude in the builders, who may be as movable by vanity as patriotism. He had rather see the great reposing in their family vault than pressed by sculptured piles. It sounds very finely; it serves "To paint a moral, or adorn a tale," to read tlie emotion with which Alex ander is reported to have beheld the tonib of Cyrus in a "a paradise," or pleasun garden; how he did homage at that of Achilles; how he behaved to wards the statue of Xerxes, etc. I had as lief, or rather hear of the champions of freedom, the victors at Marathon, at Leuctra, or Salamis. Historians and poets construct the best monuments; their memorials are more lasting than the proudest pyramids that ever aspired to the clouds. Mr. Macon had also been a guest in this house. L.,In the Episcopal Church grounds there is a modest marble slab, on which is written: "John Wright Stanly died in this town in the year A. D. 178S, aged 47 years." As was tlie custom here once to allow, without pun ishiiient, the deface ment of gravestones by mischievous boys, the liguie 1 was cut before the 4, making it read now 117 instead of 47 years of age. However, in a few years more all the w riting on it will be oblit erated, as is the case with some of the gravestones now there, on which not a word can he seen. Inconsequence of the alteration of the figures referred to above,' tlie dales on I the grave stones of all the Stanly's that have died within recent years will, upon examination, be found in words. Thus wheu'the stone for John Stanly's grave was stmt here Iroin the north, the dates on it being cut in figures, it was sent back and they changed to words to prevent cany alteration. But some day we expect to visit Cedar Grove Cemetery with you and speak at length of the Stanly ' and others entombed there. If ou are tired, we are yet on Newi:treet. I am not done with its history. . John Stanly's office was on New street, not MjTroni iJ I js dwelling, aud while the Wo are onco more at the corner of East Front and Neuse streets, and inv mediately on the margin of Neuse River, in width here one and a half miles. The name of both of these streets have in time been changed. Originally East Front and South Front streets were Neuse. Front and Trent Front streets. I could show now, in an old paper, town IIe wf 11,0 flien(1 Stanly, and Stanly lots offered for sale on Trent Front street near Middle street. The name of New street was changed by tlie town author ities a few years ago, after strong and sensible opposition to it by the present editor of the Newbemian. As he said, was his friend when in need. When in sore trouble for his country he came to Newbern, and Stanly loaned them forty thousand Colonial pounds. This debt Greene afterwards attempted to pay, as his country would not (the money wss if the change were made,; for the chief borrowed, for the army), with some of reason given, that the street ran to the Neuse river, Queen, the border street, should be first selected, or Broad, one of our widest streets, as both ran to the Neuse. s Wo agree with tlw Newbcmiaii, as we never could see any benefit to be derived from the change, while iu the future, confusion may arise from it. New and Neuae are not very dissimilar in sound, the way the two words are pronounced by many persons, and if it were deemed proper by pur town au thorities to have a Neuse street, why not give us the "Neuse Front" back again, and not take away "the name of a street (New) which vas in the "bygone" made as celebrated for ialent, by our eminent citizens, as the Fifth Avenue, in New York, is at this day for wealth. Why just there, that unpretending house at the Corner of New nnd Craven streets was the home of William Blackledge. lie was a prominent citizen aud member of Congress, and if he did do his elec tioneering with garden need:;, w hich he carried in his sulky box and distributed among tlie old ladies in this district, we don't know but what it was preferable titnped vest of the same material. II his land in Georgia, from which, how ever, the heirs of John-Wright Stanly never did obtain a dollar. , When in Newbern during the Revolution, though the interior of the Stanly mansion was only partially finished, Greene w-as in it. Two rooms were prepared for Wash ington in it also when ho was in New bern "after the close of the war, though he received the people in the Palace. : Macon selected a stony place, where the plow-could not turn his dust, ou his plantation in Warren county'. There ho was buried as would have been one of liis plainest neighbors, ' (He was.opposed to show, and was Republican in action and faith. "No nian.could affect so long as he did the simplicity of a Republican unless he was truly one. In a letter to the New born $jedutor, July 7th, 133 it is stated: .:...- , .. ... "The convention, after - much squab blnig ami confusion, was finally organ ized on Thursday evening last, by the election ot Mr. Macon, one ot the dele crates, from Warren, to the Presidency ; the same. He evinces great simplicity and plainness in his dress and mauners beintrclad in white domestic with a. blu ister, Dr. Bulkhead, resides. It may not prove uninteresting to your readers to have a brief history of this Stanly, who was the associate and confidential friend of many of our most eminent professional and prominent business men. John Caruthera Stanly was origi nally a slave, Jack Caruthers, aud was born the property of Capt. Alexander Steuart, his mother was an African, Ebo woman, small in stature and very black. She was brought here during the days of the slave trade under British laws and protection. Jack was put, when a boy, with an old French negro barber that came here from one of the French West India islands, who called himself Ceaser West, and Jack Barber, as he was then called, proving himself meritorious, was, quite early in life, liberated, as the following act of the Legislature w ill prove: Whereas, Alexander Steuart and Lydiahis wife, have by deed under their hands and seals, given, granted and confirmed unto John Caruthers Stanly, a person of mixed blood, here tofore their slave, his freedom as a re ward for his meritorious services, and whereas, the said John Caruthers Stan ly is desirous of having his emancipa tion confirmed by la v; And whereas, Amelia Green, a free woman of color, has petitioned this Legislature to emancipate her. daughter. rrmcess tueen, r.o it therefore enacted that the said John Caruthers Stanly and Princess Green, by the said names are hereby emancipated and set free; and the said persons hereby liberated and each of them are hereby declared to be aide and capable m law, to possess and enjoy every right, privilege ami immuni ty, in as full and ample manner as they could or might have done if they had been born nee. December, 17US, Stauly, immediately after hisemanci pation, bought his wife, a woman not black, but too dark to be called a mulat to. She belonged to the ancestors of the Merricks in Jones county, and called herself Hitty Merrick before be ing freed by her husband. Thus you see, under our laws, Stanly could, if he had not have had his wife emancipated, held wife aud childienas slaves and sold them at pleasure. We had the law in one or more in stances practically tested in Newborn. black man named Jacob MeCluresold some of his near relatives when there was a demand for slaves in Alabama and they were carried there, and it might be done to-day if the law existed in the land. It would not do to risk morality and affection to prevent it, when we see no mercy shown to the idation aud without cutting him.- Af terward he beiug asked how he kepi bo cool replied, "I at once fully made 'up my mind to cut Dr. Jones' throat if I cut his face." Those who knew Jthe disposition of the negro barber believed it. Thus, Jones was foolishly imperil ling his own life unconsciously. ,But the sword exploit was ne,ver there re peated. John Caruther Stanly was' al- ' ways dignified, polite and unobtrusive, and those who shunned him for reason of his color, he was equally as anxious to avoid. ' This talk, Messrs. Editors, has been too long and you jiei haps had better di- . vide it in your paper. Now just a word or two more. I know it was the under standing if I would write carelessly and . not see the proof. I must take the con sequences of mistakes. I still agree to it and must praise your printers for do ing so well with my bad writing; yet I want you and them to do this ' for me. An old man in our country carried his son, nearly erown, to school for the first time. He called the school master' out and said, "now, Charley Kelley, here is ' my boy and he is a big, strong fellow. I never felt before I could spare him from work to wast time laming. Now I want to tell you, you need not try to make his handwright level and arteu . likeyourn forye'U never do it, darned if you will, taint in him. But just wear out your last hickory whip to make the le-yu-ulity of his tigers beyond any man 's discourse or dispute, " We should have had the fire in Newbern in April '1843 instead of in 1H41 ; and in the paper- be fore, Newbern filled with young men cf extraordinary ability ui 1822 instead of 1882.

It would le a good thing for their saw mills, aud we have no doubt would be valuable to the di gestive apparatus of the average Ashe- ville and New Berne diaphragham. Elizabeth City Economist.

Residing near each' other, sometimes punch would overthrow the judgment of these two zealous advo cates for a while, consequently fights with lists and sticks in that locality were not infrequent on the eve of elections. John Stanly's office remains, too, as it was half a century ago, and is occupied it present as is Gaston's, as a dwellin house. It will not be forgotten that this great man was stricken down with palsy- while speaker of the House of Commons of North Carolina and while inthoactof speaking in 1S27. He af terwards lived some years, completely wrecked, mentally as well as physical ly weaker and weaker in body and intellect until so feebie did ho get that Mr. Badger often told' how it affected him to see .Mr. Stanly, his relative, (they were sisters' children) once so strong, reduced to the condition of a little child and sucking like ono a stick of candy, lie died in 1833. 'A sub1 scription immediately thereafter was made to erect a monument in memory of Stanly', or certain sums were prom ised by a number of .our citizens for that purpose and a list of-their names was kept, we think, in the Merchants' Bank of Newbern. No money, how ever, was collected, and his own family, after waiting for years, put the slab on his grave we have before mentioned. Obliquely from the Stanly office and on the north side of Middle street is the Presbyterian Church. " AVe hive before spoken, of the longevity of some of its founders in Newborn.

Stanly did, by specula tion and industry, manage to buy and raise about sixty (slaves alter lie was freed and held them to the most rigid accountability lor laziness or impu dence the lash was plied freely to his slaves and to almost an equal number of free colored boys and girls at the same lime in his service, lie had sev eral plantations and ins. servants on them had no time to play. Some of his children owned slaves up to the recent war. The girls, only associated with while persons and the boys were all ed ucated. John Steuart, Alexander, Ben jamin, Joseph and Charles. Ben was nearly black, though a twin w ith Joe, and thus was kept in the back ground by his mama, whilo Joe, bright in color would engago in the games with the white boys on the Academy Green. John C. Stanly, however, towards the close of his life was pinched for the moans of living.' His rule was to whip his negroes well, work them Well and clothe and feed them indifferently. ' We cannot omit a little incident con nected with Stanly iii Kinston court in about 1823. John C. Stanly and Mr. McKinly had a suit about a tract of land in Lenoir; John Stanly aud William Gaston were his lawyers, and Mr. Gra ham, John W. Bryan and Frances L. Hawks were the lawyers of McKinly. Mr. Stanly first spoke, then Bryau; Mr. uaston loiiowed. When iiawks was replying an old gentleman named Davis abked Mr. Gaston, sufficiently loud for Mr. liawks to Hear inm, "what nigger is that now talking, for he discourses mighty well, and the one on his side before him did mighty' well too, and I hear them other two niggers there by them (meaning Mr. McKinly and J. C- Stanly) are both mighty rich." ,Mc Kinley and Ilaw'kS were dark and Mr Bryan was far 'from' a blonde.' i; It was in Stanly's barber shop that an incident occurred and though a thrice told tale in Newbern, I will repeat it. Dr.. Hugh Jones walked in his shop one day and drawing from his cane a long sword," took a seat to be ' shaved Turning to one of the assistants of Stan ly, Brister, he said, and meant too what he said, "now cut me Brister and I will run this sword through you ! " Brister did shave him apparently without trep- sensitive palate Not many years since, as the story goes, a Boer scout was cap tured and carried into the presence of the Betjuau King, and ou being ques tioned admitted that his people were iu the habit of eating hog meat- At once he was sentenced to be executed for being so degraded in his tastes as to partake of this unclean food. Moral: There is always a possibility that ono man or one nation does not know it all. Maybe, since it will be admitted that bacon ham is better than alligator steak, it is also possible that a pure vegetable oil may be purer and more palateable than the best of animal oils. - :' ' CITY ITEMS.
