OB the day of Ihe assassination
ofPccaident Garfield by Qaiteau,
Findley 8. Collins, of Seymour,
adiana. wrote a letterto Jefferson
Dayia in regard to the matter. In
reply, Mr, Davis wrote as follows:
The evil influences to which yon
refer as causing the bitterness telt
towards the Southern men, it may
fairly be expected, will give way
before the sober sense of the peo
ple if they shall, like yourself, de
tect the sordid motive for which
stimulants are administered. I
will not, like the telegram yon cite
in regard to the attempted assassi
nation of the President, say I am
thankful the assassin was not a
Southern man, but I regret that he
is au American. The crime, black
enough in itself, has a deeper dye
from the mercenary motive which
seems to nave prompted it. l
sincerely trost the President may
recover, and that the startling
event will arouse the people to the
consideration of a remedy for the
demoralization which a wild bunt
after office is creating. Norfolk

Mr. G. R. Ward, of Jacksonville,
Onslow county, was in the oity Satur
day. The reporter was pleased to most
him and talk with him on the railroad
question, a question which is now in
teresting the citizens of this eastern
seotion and especially the people of
New Berne.
Mr. Ward, in our opinion, has vtry
reasonable and sensible view regard
ing the matter of extending the rail
road, whioh is now being rapidly built
from Wilmington to Jacksonville, to
this city. He sayB that the people of
Onslow are very desirous of having the
road as proposed by the Eist Carolina
Lind and Railway Company built; that
the people of his county who now give
New Berne their patronage will cer
tainly not withdraw it because a train
runs by their doors to thu city. Mr.
Ward says be thinks that ihe people of
his section are inolined to coino to New
Berne. And why nut? There is not
in the State a better market for pro
duce nor a town where goods arsold
cheaper than in New Brue. It New
Berne gets her share of the trade from
Onslow and Jones counties while there
is no railroad between here and Wil
mington, will she not still get it when
the railroad is built ? Will the railroad
offer greater inducements to the people
t3 goto Wilmington than it will to bring
them here? Certainly not. As fares
distance and ooet of travel U con
cerned, these will be proportionately
the same on the railroad as they are
now by horse and wagon. So neither
city will have the advantage of the
other in that matter.
But how abput this point ? The road
from Wilmington to Jacksonville is
going to be built, is being built. Mr,
Ward tells us that there are now about
eight hundred hands at work grading
that the road is graded to within about
ight miles of Jacksonville. Before
many months have passed trains will
be running from Wilmington into the
heart of Onslow county this is
assured fact. That will put the whole
of Onslow .county a great deal nearer
Wilmington than New Berne. Then
the trade will go that way.
New Berne must offer inducements
then to retain the trade she now has
from that section. The only salvation
from the inroads of this drainer, the
Wilmington and Onslow road; the only
way to save and hold our Onslow
patronage; is to build the proposed road
from New Berne to Jacksonville and
connect with the Wilmington road, and
thus offer equal or greater induce
ments to the people of Jones and Ons
low counties to come to New Berne.
The railroad from Wilmington to
Jacksonville will certainly take New
Berne's Onslow trade. A through line
from New Berne to Wilmington
greatly help both cities and the coun
try through whioh it runs'
Let's build the road in self defense.
A Complaint.
Last night the train on the Atlantic
and North Carolina railroad waa three
hours behind time in reaching this city.
It was not the fault of this road, how
ever; nor has it been the fault of this
road that the train has been delayed at
Goldsboro for from a half to two or
three hours nearly every day recently.
From what we can learn, it is the mis
management of the Richmond and Dan
ville and the Atlantio Coast Line rail
roads that oauses so muoh Inconve
nience, worry and dissatisfaction to the
people of this whole eastern seotion and
to the traveling publio. It Is notable
that at this season of the year, just at
Christmas, this thing is particularly
annoying. Now, we don't want to
"growl,' but Mr. R. D. Railroad
company and Mr.' A. 0. L. Railroad
company, please be fair with us; please
do your duty towards ns; please stick
to the truth and do what, you say
you will do, run your advertised
schedule. We have borne this afflic
tion very patiently. Now we. respect
fully ask that we be relieved. We
earnestly insist that yon run on
sohedule time. We do not care how
many trains it takes to meet your en
gagementa. We think tt your duty to
come to time if it takes extra trains to
do so. We have no power whereby we
oan force yon to fill yoor eontraots. . If
we had, we should certainly nse it to
onr great advantage, and we know that
many a weary traveller, whoso busi
ness isi nrsrent. whose time is valuable,
who ' ie - anxious to get to - New
Berne, but is 1 kept Ma ' Golds
boro r twenty-four v hours on so
count of your willful miaoonneotlons
with 'onr train, ? would stand by and
with hearty pleasure see tbat power, or
that rerned, applied. . When out train
has to wait in Goldsboro to make eon-
neotion and arrives here late tt greatly
Inconveniences our people, x When the
trains fail to connect it is worse. How,
we think It Is alt due to the mismanage
ment of : the two roads t mentioned
above. And we ask yon, gentlemen
respectfully.' seriously, earnestly, and
Insist upon It, in behalf of the oUisens
of this section, to give ns relief.
PROGRESS ;
No. 10
Fiom all remunerative trade, of a
eciprooal character, with Ci-nter and
WmUii Car-'lioa. New Berne U at
present cot off; it in iu a bottle of
hiob the A & N. C. Riilroaa is the
neck, and the R. & D Rtilroad at
Goldsboro the figurative and literal
Stopper." The exorbitant tax upon
traffic between the sections entirely
precludes a profitable interchange of
prod acta and each ia obliged to do its
trading with other 8tates, from whose
oitlsj they can supply tbeir wants more
cheaply than they oan with one another.
That this It a'l wrung, has been
emonatrated in our loe tt press time
and again and no cry his been more
prolonged than th protest to this unfair
condition of things. No wrong under
hich we labor has had more thought
and attention given it, thaD this and
the extension of the A. & N. C. Rail
road to Sanford, and there connecting
with tb.4 Cap.) Fear and Yadkin Rail
road or soma other manner of reaching
the interior has been deemed the only
solution; hII Boris to carry out this
plan have, thus far, failed, and it is
left for the Wilmington, Onslow and
New Berne Railroad to finally accom
plish this most desirable thing.
This road to whose capital stock we
are asked to subscribe, will at its Wil
mington terminus connect wiih the
Carolina Ceut al Rjad, and the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Rtilroad via
Fajeltevillo and be thus placed in con
nection with Charlotte, Oretntboro,
Winnton, Mt. Airy and into Tennessee
lots glorious result may be accom
plished despite the W. & W. and R. &
D. Railroad. Nor lathe territory with
which we may have remunerative com
mercial intercourse, confined to our
State borders, for by this system of
lines we may reach Columbia, Atlanta
and other points South and West.
Upon the construction of the East
Carolina Railroad the New Berne grain
merchant or the dealer in any other ex
port commodity can choose his route or
line of shipment to the interior, and
this faot is certain to make the res pec
tive lines rivals for the business, with
the resultant lowering of rates. This
is what is needed to develop the large
oorn trade that oan be had with the
counties of Hyde, Tyrrel, Pamlloo and
Pasquotank and what is needed
make New Berne what nature intended
it should be, the point of distribution
for the numerous and varied products
of fields, forests and waters of all the
large section that is naturally tributary
to it; and one must be wilfully perversa
or abnormally obtuse who will or can
not see its value and importance.
The building of the proposed new line
of railway will ' let us out of the bot
tle," and like the genii of the Arabian
tale, when permitted to expand into the
outer world, may become powerful.
In whatever light we view this rail
road enterprise, it presents new and
important elements of-benefit to us, the
half of which have not yet been told,
but what we desire to present from
time to time. In the mean time let
every friend of the proposition (and he
should be every oitizen who has the
best interests of New Berne at heart)
take an individual part in explaining
the subjeot and creating that favorable
interest that its importance demands.

Of all the Life Insurance Companies
doing business in the United States
none stands more conspicuous for its
great finanoial ability, for its liberality
to its policy holders, for its low rate of
insurance (caused by its large dlvi
dends whioh are declared annually to
all its policy holders, the Southern pol
icy holders sharing the same as the
Northern ones) , for its promptness in
paying its losses, for its ever-steadfast
efforts in behalf of the people of the
south in their time of need, for its in
variable rule to mete out fair and equal
justice to all.
The correctness of the above will be
attested to by a large number of New
