GOV. HOLDEN OPPOSED TO THE BUREAU
Generals Steedman and Fullerton, in prosecut
ing their inquiries into the working ofthe freed
mems bureau in North Carolina, have visited
Raleigh. Salisbury, Goldsboro' and Newbern-
At Raleigh they had an interview with Gov.
Holden and the leading citizens. Gov. Holden
Said the great objection to the bureau court was
that 1t was a one-man power. A planter might
be dragged many miles. to answer some frivolous
charge preferred by a negro, and this charge
would be disposed of before one man, who
was both judge aud jury. In the past, he
believed the bureau had been of advau-
tage to both races, but its further continuance
would serve no useful purpose. The relations
between the two races were on the most
satisfactory footing. The only disturbing ele-
meDt they dreaded now was further teacbino
aud lecturing, and agitation on the subject of
SOCIAL equality.
Gen. Steedman-So far as have seen. the
people of the South, though opposed to negro
social equality, grant him more social PRIVILEGES
than at the North.
Gov. Hulden-Tbat is so, sir We. who
know the negro, know there is no possibility of
his attaining social equality. In the North thew
don't know this, and can't understand it. [
spoke to a number of negroes the other day: 7
found them the quietest part Of the people-in-
dustrious, docie and hopeful for the future l
spoke to one OF them, whom / had formerly
owned, about voting He @repled, Il don't
know how to vote, I've never been used to it:
l should come to you"
The ex rebel Gen. Cox, who was present at
the interview, intimated his concurrence in the

EXCELLENT ADvICE.-The South Carolina
Leader, one Of the special organs of the cclored
people that have been started in the South,
gives the following admirable counsel to its
brethren. Speaking of the emissaries Of North
ern tanatlcism who arc sneaking about the
country, it says:
''Colored people of the South, listen to our
adyce-listen to the dictates of common sense.
Beware of false teachers, who come to you in
the clothing Of sheep, but inwardly are raven
Gus wolves. These men have 20 desire to see
you on amicabIe terms with your white neigh
bors. They come to widen the breach already
existing, and to make capital out of the dissen-
sions in our midst. The moment good Under
standing exists between you and the whites,
that moment their occupation is goue;' but it
these Spectators in ruin attain their aims, we
trensble for your race. Cultivate peace with all
men, and especially with those with whom your
lot is cast"

OVER-DREssED LADIES.

LIZ Is UNDERSTOOD, Oy all Americans at any
rate who have the slightest pretense to correct
taste and good judgment, that the American
women a. the uo1t beautiful among ali women
ON the face Of the whole earth. 10 this dictum
we most heartily and cheerfully submit, aud
with all our authority, personal and editorial, We
indorse it. Aud having thus placed the ave"
our editorial self, rectus IN curio, We proceed to
intimate some slight objections to certain preva-
lent habits aaG evils.
The women angels. Touching the cos
tune of angels there we're no doubt disputes 10
the days of the schoolmeD, for they debated on
things OF quite as little profit and pertinence -
With no very accurate date to proceed upon,
the conclusions were various, and opinion
was quite capable OF proof as another; SO were
all theories equally opeu to attack. The story
of the old Scotch stone. cutter, who engraved
cherub on tomb stone, with tremendous head
OF hair, Offers no bad illustration. "Hoot mon y
exclaimed critic, Ibid ye ever angel
with wig :" "And you" the mason rotorted,
Ibid ye without?" We sorry
| to that our angels, many of them, have the
same propensity to false hair. Indeed, you
scarce see any angel without.
That, however, is small matter. The ladies
carry their loads on their own heads. So do
the fish women theirs, and it is nobody's bust
ness but their own. But the wonderful volume
OF skirt is another matter, and when it is intro
duced into rail cars is serious public inconve-
| Lience. In the good old times of our grand
mothers, ladies 10 grand toilet were conveyed
to their destination n sedan chairs, 10 which,
not to deraoge their paraphernalia, they stood
upright. Sometimes, when the distance requr-
ed coach, the lady-one lady-took the vehi-
Gle all TO herself, and the gentleman climbed on
the box. These precautions were taken on spe-
cia aud dress occasions, when lady was treat
ed like a beautiful boquet, not to be touched,
much less to be packed into smal! quarters or to
be paraded on foot through the streets
But now Oh all occasions they crowd the pave
ments, and even climb into the passenger cars,
to the amusement of odous male creatures aud
! their own great inconv enience Men complain
OF the charge of ladies' trunks and baggage -
But let them be silent. Five packed trunks,
six feet deep, ale not SO much trouble to a mau
as lady's unpacked dry goods, borne on her
back, are to herself. o fashion, and fashions
follies!
Can't these things be mcnded? Cannot Bar
nun, or some other phlaDthropist get up spe-
| cal dress shows for the mlIiners aud their Gus

THE CHOLERA.

The cholera panic does not seem to make
smuch Roadway 10 this city, as no new cases are
reported anywhere The disease is dying out
ON board OF the infected vessels while as yet it
has obtained no foothod in the city. There
ARE, we ehnk, strong reasons for believing that
provided we do not escape the pestleuce entire
ly, the visitation will be light one compared
with former years. 1t may be noticed as gen.
.eral fact, as the cholera has progressed north
ward and westward, it has become less fatal.
The mortality at Mecca was fearful 1t
very fatal at ConstantiDOple, Alexandria, and
wherever it penetrated on the eastern shores of
the Mediterranean, but less so than where 1t
originated. 1t was very bad also, on the coast
lines of Italy and Spain when it first broke out,
but the mortality not great when it
ragged further east. As it progressed inland it
was less and still less fatal, although Madrid
had very severe visitation. The ravages of
the pestilence were very light in France; even
Paris escaped with "a small death rate. And SO
It may be set down established fact, that
the further the cholera advanced from its start
ling point, the less viruent it became We do
mot hear of it in England at all, while the spring
lis almost over, and yet it has obtained
footbold upon soil.
1t bas been remarked in all great epidemcs,
that the virus seems to exhaust itself as time
passes by. Thus the rinderpest in England,
which nothing could check when it first broke
out, gradually became less fatal and is now fas,
dying out And 50 with all pestences. 1t is
also noticeable that the cholera is less fatal at
each temperance. 1t was worse in 1882 than
1S49, and. so far as Western Europe is con.
cerned, was milder in 1865 than in lS49.
Were it to rage in New York this year as it did
In 1882, the mortality would be appalling. But
we-may reasonably expect that the pestience
this year, should it come at ALL will not be the
scourge that it is feared it will be, judging from
past experiences. The city, upon the whole, is
getting into toleraby good condition The
streets are generally ciean the fear of the chol-
era and the Health Board have compelled un-
usual attention to sanitary conditions, and the
disease at the outset will be fought vigorously.

Democracy.

The national prestige Of the Democratic
name is gone The Democracy is associated
with treason, rebellion and civil war. Under
Democrats ascendcncy the conspiracy was
conceived and matured. Under Democratic
Administration it riponed. BY a Demo.
cratieconvention it was declared triumphant.
BY Democratic organs and orators. as far
as they dare, the theories from which the
rsbellion sprang are still justified. The
Democratic party has forced its best men
from its ranks, 1t has prostituted noble

that name may become respectable, but for

mow john PhI,,ips Lost Money.

During The war, John Phillips, an honest
farmer, living on one of the "cross roads"
in thinly settled town in Northern Wis
consin, came to the conclusion that he must
practice a still more rigid economy, in order
to meet and pay his debts and provide for
the extra taxes and high store bills, and
expenses occasioned by the war. In look
ing round to see where he could economze,
his eye fell upon the family newspaper. =
"Here, wife. is two dollars spent for this
paper every year. We must save our two
dollars and get along without the paper"
John, don't see hardly how we can get
along without it. The children take great
pleasure in reading il, and should feel very
much lost without il. Besides, John, I
don't see how you can get along without
the market reports, when the changes are
SO great every week, in the markets" "Well,
wife, it would be very convenient to have
the paper but then YOU know go to town
every few days, and can pick up all it will
be necessary for us to know"
SO John stopped the paper and saved his
two dollars to help wipe out the debt on his
homestead. But John saved at the spicot
only to let out at the bung." A few weeks
after his neighbor Jones received his paper
FROM the office he observed in glancing
over tne cattle market tnat large al
vance had taken place. He donned bis hat
and walked over to see Mr. Phillips, who had
two fine yoke Of oxen to sell, and bought
them at Mr.. Phillips own price, which was
full $50 under the market on two yoke. 1t
soon got to Mr. Phillips ears what "a spcck
bis neighbor had made out of the cattle. =
So Mr.. Phillips called on Mr. Jones to find
out the truth of the matter. YES" said
Jones, III sold the cattle the same day for
