In educational matters Texas has
a record of which any State in the
Union might be justly proud. About
$3,000,000 is annually expended on
the public schools and half a million
more on the higher institutions of
earning. There is a school popu
ation ef nearly half a million, about
one-fourth of which are colored.
Normal schools for both white and
colored pupils are supported by the
State, and over three thousand
colored teachets are In service in
the public schools. This year Jfe500-
000 more than last year will be ex
pended on account of the schools of
the State. From this exceptional
educational activity Texas cannot
rail to reap a rich harvest in the
intelligence of its people. New

We Must Have Manufacturing.
We need more manufacturing in

we quote a paragraph from a letter ad

Boston:
. "We have noted, from time to time,
your editorials in the Joutrnal, bearing
on the encouragement of manufactures
in New Berue and think that tbe pre
sentation of such facts as those set forth
in your articles, headed "Knitting
Mills,'' in your issue of the 4th Inst.,
ought to suggest to your people the wis
dom of beatlriog themselves in the
matter."

A Rare Treat for the People of
New
Berne,
The Song Tournament comes off Frl
day night and promises to be most de
lightful, aa the most fastidious will be
entertained, and where either Frenob,
uerman, Lnglish, Italian, Swiss or
American may woll be proud of his
national music. It wiil be rendered
by the very best talent of New Berne,
assisted by the oroheetra under the
training of Mr. F. E Morton.
The Song Tournament is founded on
tbe idea that the musio of every nation
has dietisctive oharacterietios, more or
less pronounced. It should be said,
however, that the eharacteristic music
of nations is not so muoh shown in their
national airs as in their choruses, part
songs and ballads, so these are chosen
for this entertainment. It is also true
that the characteristic music of a nation
is not always the best of which its mu
sicians are oapable.
Many French and English composers
have written magnificently in German
and Italian modes, and certainly the
best American composers are not they
who write the musio that is, if any,
distinctively American. In fact, Amer
ica is admitted to thit Tonrnament
mainly on the ground that here Is
where all are welcome, and where all
write, where all languages are spoken,
anl where all songs tresung.
Attention Atlantlcs.
Tbe members of the Company and
others who wish to go to the Charlotte
celebration must attend the meeting
tonight without fall.

Committee.
A petition from J. F. Taylor and
others, requesting an arc light to be
placed at the market, was read and on
motion referred io the new board.
Councilman Crawford then addressed
the board in a few pertinent remarks
as to his past services in the board of
counoilmen from which he now retires
after an unbroken service of 17 years.
The remarks were ordered to be epread
on the minutes of the meeting. It is
as follows:
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of the Coun
cil :
I feel it my duty to ssy a few words
to this honorable board. After being
elected seventeen years I can put my
right hand upon my breast, and say
that I have done my duty to the best of
my knowledge, and I am not ashamed
of my record. A man or men may sell
me, but cannot buy me. Now, in rela
tion to my opinion, if I believe that I
am wrong I go slow, but if I believe I
am right men nor devils oannot move
me off the track. I remember of read
ing tbe life of Thsddeus Stephens a few
years ago. I learned several lessons.
There was one I have never forgotten.
Now, in the State of Pennsylvania about
35 or 40 years ago, they amended the
Constitution, and the word was ' black"
that they added. They took the vote
and all voted "yea" except Stephens.
It was oarried, and they laughed at
him. When they got through laughing
he said, "I am in the majority." "How
is that, Stephens ':" "Well, sirs, I have
my conscience with me ; and today I
believe there ia no "black" in tbat Con
stitution. If so, his vote is in the ma
jority.
When a man (eols in his heart and
knows be has done his duty, he can
faoeaman and say, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant." I have
also read the life of Judge Gaston, and
I see where be always stood at the head
of his class. He was noted for being a
good speller. One day the boys said:
"William, why is it you always stand
at the head of the class?" He said, in
a low tone of voice, "Come here and
let me tell you why it is. My mother
taught me to pray a little prayer, and I
pray tbat prayer every day before I
come to sohool." That prayer seemed
to be his suocess. I can also say my
mother taught me a little prayer, but
perhaps I did not pray that little prayer
Monday, election day. wen, so much
for that. A man without firmness is
not muoh more than a shadow, only he
has some wind in him Do you remem
ber that It was being firm and true that
the thirteen colonies came together,
when taxed without representation,
and pledged their honor, their fortunes
and their lives. We hear the command
way down the line, saying, we want
none bat true Americans on guard.
We want tried men. Not aman will
tell yon yes, and we know one thing,
be firm; though Jupiter and Mars may
leave their orbs, be firm; when I tell
you yes you may go home and go to
bed; when I tell you no you can go
home and go to bed, and rest quietly.
I believe it was in the year 1775 when
the Revolutionary War commenoed,
when your forefathers, being firm and
true, fought side by side, barefooted,
hungry and half naked, for seven years.
with General George Washington, their
leader, and made Lord Cornwallis sur
render at Yorktown.
Truth may be smitten to the earth,
bat it will rise again, and when she
rises again she will be as -the tall trees
of Lebanon.- its purpeee win ripen fast,
unfolding every hour; , the bod may
have a bitter taste,, but .sweet will be
the flower, - A
i Mr, Mayor, and gentlemen of the city
council: .We win now soon aoiourn,
and I trust that peace any Joy will ever
be wl-.h yon. The Lord's voice, like
Joseph of ; old to hll brethren, may at
time sound rough and harsh, hat they '
are blessed undertones of love. "It is
I," he seems to say, "it was I that
roused the storm; it is I, when it has
done its work, will clsim it and say,
peace, be still; it is I. King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. Every wave rolls
at my bidding; all have some gracious
end; they are not sent to dash you
sgainst sunken rocks, but to show you
tbat I am God."
"Judge not the Lord by feeblo aense
But trust him for his grace,
Behind a frowning Providenco
He hides a smiling face."
The refieotion tbat a wise and merci
ful, as well as a holy and just God,
rules not only the affairs of this world,
but of all worlds, is a rook to set our
feet upon under all circumstances, even
more severely trying than tnese we are
passing thioogb. Be firm, be true.
Truth is a golden lick fast to the tbrone
in heaven, Angels descend and ascend
and their message is. Truth is tbe seo
ond person in tbe adtntle Trinity.
"Though earth-born shadows now may
sbroud my thorny path awhile,
God's blessed word can paint each c'oud
and bid the sunshine aiiile.
Only believe in living faith , It i a love and
power divine,
And ere the sun shall act to rest, hie
lightsball round us shine."
There is nothing in race or blood, in
color or features, tbat imparts superior
knowledge of improvement to one race
over another. The mind left to itself
from infancy without culture, remains
a blank; knowledge is not innate; de
velopment makes the man. As the
Greeks and Romans and Jews drew
knowledge from the Egyptians three
thouaand years ago, and the Europeans
received it from the Romans, eo must
the colored people of this land rise in
thesamoway. As one man learna from
another, eo nation loarna from nation.
Civilization is handed down to mac.
God, being our Father, protect our
Council from every foe; with peace our
Council bless, our city with prosperity,
our Mayor with plenteousneee.

vote on Thomas Canady's petition be

street, for which he held the city liable,
offering to accept two hundred dollars
damages if paid at once. On motion of
Councilman Crawford, the matter was
referred so the new board.
It was moved and carried that Mayor

and the board adjourned eine die.
