RALEIGH, N. c., THURSDAY,

Confederate army-a perfectly harmless and
even proper work in itself, provided 1t be
done in pIoper spirit but when he callsfor
the preservation of documents or " details of
robheries confiagration and vandalism" "to
be transmitted to posterity in vindication of
the truth of history and the rectitude of our
the Confederate) cause" and all this is in a
letter signed by him as governor and dated
from the executive Office" he is guilty of
abusing his office, and abusing the confidence
which has enabled him to fill it. Men like
Humphreys, who were leaders of the rebell-
ion, ought to have been left in the back
ground for many year to come and what
ever plan of reconstruction be now adopted,
we haveno hesitationin saying that Mr.. John
sons qualifying him for the governorship was
a great mistake. The letter before us is an
insult to the Government, an insult to our
army, an insult to the loyal men of the
north and to ask us to believe that Mississ-
ippi or any other State lately in rebellion can
be really and truly restored to the Union un-
der the auspices and direction of men like
Humphreys is an insult to the common sense
of those who shed their blood and spent their
money in trying to rob him of his powers of
mischief We are in favor of magnanimity,
of oblivion, of conciliation, of forbearance of
everything that can in reason be demanded
of US but we are not in favor of putting reb-
els into high office to pass their leisure hours
in keeping alive the spirit of rebellion.

The Extraordinary Speech of Robert

The Extraordinary Speech of Robert
Emmet-An Historical Episode.
In these times of Irish agitation and rev.
olution, there is frequent reference made to
young Robert Emmett, and his patriotic senti-
ment not to write his epitaph until the free
dom of his native land was secured. The
speech which has immortalized his name is
not easily accessible, and is found in but few
books of limited circulation.
When we consider the youth of Emmet-
he being but twenty-five years of fage-and
the circumstances under which it was deliv-
cred, in reply to the question ''of the Court why
sentence Of death should not be pronounced
upon hint is specimen of eloquence that
has rarely been equalled and certainly never
surpassed.
twas delivered in 1902, before the Court of
which Lord Norbury was the Judge, after
an abortive effort at insurrection upon the
part of the Irish. No speech was ever made
nothing was ever done that has fired the hearts
of Irishmen more than the reading of this
extraordinary production of their greatest
martyr. The British Government could have
afforded better to have had him lived
thosuand years than to have executed him
after the delivery of this speech. 1t is a most
capital illustration of the impolicy Of capital
executions for political offenses.
The youth of Emmett and his inexperience
rendered him a most proper object for Gov
ernment clemency, if it had taken reason
and common sense as a guide, instead of
blind passion and prejudice.
His brother, Thomas Adds Emmet, came
to this country, and was one of the most
eloquent members Of the New York bar.

original notebook, which have shown to
Sir Richard Murchison, the following details.
l further understand from him that Mr.. Craw-
ford had no intention of disparaging the ac-
curacy of my description but simply wished
| to have such an explanation as l now offer.
These little people, termed Obongo, may
be considered the gipsies otthe region. They
are of migratory habits, and change their
temporary shelter under the trees from one
place to another. They gain their livelihood
by trapping game, which they exchange with
the settled villages for food, and like some
European gipsipes if this method fail, they
steal and decamp While the inhabitants
of tllis mountain region are ligh ter in color
than those of the seashore, these Obongo are
still less dark. They have only short tufts
of hair upon their heads, and are thus stri-
kingly dis 'inguished from the settled inhabi-
tants, tho wear large turrets of hair upon
their heads. They have a wild, anxious and
timorous expression in their eyes, and all
though gave many beads to entice some of
them to remain, and was brought to them
stealthily by the natives, all the men except
young adult disappeared, leaving few
women behind. 1t would appear that my
visit alarmed them, for although 1 stayed a
week in the adjacent village, the Obongo
were no more to be heard of.
The following are the measurments 1 was
enabledto make: The only male adult meas
ured four feet six inches, but as one of
the women reached five feet and one-quar-
ter inch, (she being considered extraordinary
tall } 1 have no doubt that some of the men
equally tall and some perhaps, taller.
The other women l measured had the fol-
lowing heights: Four feet eight inches, four
feet seven inches, and the smallest four feet
and one-quarter inch. 1 thought, after look
ing over the whole group of adult women,
that their average height was from four feet
five inches to four feet six inches. The small
lest woman had the largest head, viz: One
foot ten and one fifth inches in circumference;
the smallest was one foot nine inches round.

CHEERING NEWS.

AS the subject of the crops in Southern
States is very important one at present, we
give our readers all reliable testimony regard
ing it that comes into our possession. A
friend, who is very practical and observant
gentleman, has just returned to this city from
a business trip to the North, coming by short
stages on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road from Columbus, KY. This routeled him
through the most fertile sections ofthe States
of Tennessee and Mississippi, and sml Ill
portion of Kentucky and Alabama, and our
informant says he has never seen better evil
dences that a full crop would be made than
were everywhere observable. There seemed
to be no lack of labor, and both black and
white field hands were at work with vi gor
and cheerfulness After the reports that he
had heard, he could but be astonished at these
cheering signs of social reorganization and
honest enterprise.
Our friend was impressd with the same
fact that has been so frequently mentioned
of late in the Southern agricultural maya
zines, viz: That majority of the planters are
devotine their energies and little capital left
them by the war, to the almost exclusive cul-
tivation of cotton, thus neglecting to raise
corn, hogs and other plantation supplies.
We hope that no evil will result from this
policy, as many writers on this subject an
ticipate; but ifby any sad mischance the cot
ton crop should again fail, our planters would

sistence for their laborers or stock. 1t is
not too late, however, to attend to this mat
ter yet.
The reports which reach us respecting, the
crops in Texas are very encouragi ing, and a
contemporary learns that new source of
revenue is developing itself there, the people
of the Lone Star State having 'struck lie"

Angelina and Noches rivers, in several of the
