the table prevailed, thus preventing resurrection

Murder and Arson

How often do our columns tell Of brutal
murders and incendiary fires, and, alas,
how frequently is it true that the offenders
are negroes. To-day we publish all the
particulars known in regard to the murder
of Col. Nethercutt and the probable MUIR
der of his wife. Our columns also give a
few meagre facts il relation to the destruc-
tive fire in Wilson, which is said to have
been at the hands of colored incendiaries.
Why is this ? Why this great change for
the worse on the part Of the negro race
Is it or is it not the result of recent educa-
ton and late associations
The county of Jones, in which the recent
fiendish murder occurred, is probably the
only " reconstructed " county in the State,
General SIcKLEs removed nll the Magis
trates, the Sheriff, and probably Other
county officers, and filed their places with

WILMINGTON, n. c., Dec, 1867
D0uguW Nc-UiUlut, Esq.,, President NeC
HanOreT agricultural Society:
DEAR SIR: In my last communication I
gave you my views Of the present condition
OF our country, agriculturally. But, the
facts are, sir, our country, at this time, is
without all agriculture, for, as [ have al
ready said, it is based entirely upon labor
That labor we have not in our country at
present, for it is worse than useless, yes,
damaging, to an alarming extent, to rely
longer upon negro labor. We must have
forever. Seven years of devastation by
war, and its sequel, have left but bare
traces Of our former prosperity and thrift,
and no available means whereby to recuper-
ate our plantations and farms, or TO re-
build our houses, factories and railroads !;
not even the means of comfortable exis-
tence, and, in many instances, of existence
itself With all the efforts of our white
population, and all the stimulants given to
labor, still there is large deficiency of
ulation, and supplies mast come from
abroad to sustain our furnishing people, all
of which go most conclusively to prove in
my mind the great deficiency of labor in
our land.
In the foregoing L have endeavored to
show you the real obstacle to our recuper-
alton and advancement, and now the great
problem is before us who can, who will
solve it ? We know that it is common to
measure a nations wealth by its population,
but this law Of custom presumes that pop
ulations are industrious and thrifty This
law does not apply to Africa, when it is
known that the people are not industrious
and thrifty, and it will not do to ap-
ply it to our Southern country at
this time, for this class of our
population, being INDECENT and thriftless,
are real incumbrance and an obstruction
to advancement and prosperity. AS already
stated, labor we must have. But what
kind of labor Where shall it come from I?
and how? Who is to accomplish the great
work Of filing our farms, workshops, manu-
factories, and railroads, with busy, thrifty
population How are they to be intro
duced What shall the programme be?
| It is admitted, pretty generally believe,
that the proper kind of population to in
troduce should be flom the working classes
of Scotland and Central Europe, say Den
mark, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Hun
gary, Poland, Holland, &C. But this class
of people are generally deficient in the
means of emigration and sustenance here,
until they can earn it. Here is contin-
gency which must be provided for, and
unless they are secured in transportation,
and labor situations upon their arrival, and
provision made for them at least one year,
they may not be induced to come.
Is it probable that associations exist in
England or elsewhere, to facilitate emigra-

ton to this country, by furnishing tho
means of doing SO, or shall we be expecto5
TO do SO, and if so, how is this to he oo
complished In former times it ,ninI,t
easily have been done by an association ns
capital, but this amounts to an impossibii;tr,
now, for there is no capital in North CarGy
lima to associate, and you know very we'll
that capitalists of the North, who hold al
the money of the country, would not allo,a
it to come South for that or any other ~
vestment. They say Southern securitin,
are rather weak, notwithstanding tbpro
is plethora of money at this time seelinc,
investment, and which is at discount y;
thirty per cent. from its standard vaho
and with reputation of it murmurinr i,
the distance, still it must not come So3ii
for the recuperation of this section. miles
they shall be abundantly secured in verv
large profits
Then, how is this difficulty to be over
come In my next shall propose plan
of accomplishing the end through tho
agency of our railroads, and I request tIo
officers of all our railroads to give this snh.
ject some thought and reflection, that thew
may the better be prepared with obinc.
tons or improvements.
Respectfully, H. Eprr

j large number Of the Intelligent citizens of
this city and county assembled in the Court House

published.
Tn motion Of Maj, J. a. Enseharl, E. :.

Political StrawS.

The success of the Conservatives and
Democrats in the municipal elections in
Massachusetts is not without its signiti
canoe. Tuesday the telegraph Informed
us that the Democratic candidate for May
or in Boston was elected, and to-day the
same story is repeated from Newburyport.
Such successes have been unknown in these
parts for q quarter OF a century. How
rapidly is the great Radical party falling
to pieces. They have indeed been weighed
i Il the balance and found wanting.

Negro Suffrage.

Suffrage is the cornerstone of free gov
| ernments, and upon ite proper and legal
exercise, under the restraints Of wholesome
legislation, depends the welfare and adj
vancement Of the people. Men connect
themselves with governmental associations
for the general good, reserving for them
selves such rights and privileges, which self
protection from the illegal exercise of power
by their delegated agents, suggests. The
State governments, much Older than the
Government of the United States, in Or
daining and establishing common Con-
stitution and Government in order to
form moro perfect Union, reserved to
themselves the right to regulate suffrage.
The act Of Congress regulating suffrage IN
the Southern States is therefore utterly
void, and we 90 not propose to weary the
patience Of orr readers in its discussion.
Congress has, by the Use Of force, illegal
and unconstitutional, interfered with the
question of suffrage in the South, but it
cannot anal will not stand. Public opinion
the pcoplc-have condemned it, and
Nilie tllC " Ill Oh TIC LldJOI1tS - NOV Lllt
law of the land it is of higher force and of
more moral power than the unlawful acts
of a party who are temporarily and by acct
dent in control OF the Legislative Depart
ment of the Government
What we desire to show is how far this
attempt to interfere with the right Of suf-
frage III the South, and thus place these
States under the dominion of ignorant and
brutal negroes, has been condemned by
the Northern people. The New York
JToyM has compiled Il tabular state
ment of the recent vote upon this subject,
and tie figures furnish food for serious re-
Election for Southern negroes who are being
used by white parasites for political purpo-
seS.
Three States have recently voted directly
upon the question of negro suffrage, and
each have rejected it. In a fourth-New
Jersey--thu issue was indirectly III the cleo
ton of members of the Legislature, and a
inliIar verdict Was retu ned The figures
are DIS follows
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1867-12-13

Such, then, are the facts regarding the
sentiments of four Northern States i'll re-
ference to negro suffrage-not merely with
in their own limits, but III the United
States. It is the height of folly to say that
the people Of Ohio, with more than one
million Of white males and not twenty
thousand negro males, would have aban-
doned their party organization and turned
ont in such full force to have denied this
pitiful handful of blacks the privilege of
voting. And Minnesota, with barely one
Aundred negroes, and Kansas, with less tia"
three hundred, within their borders, could
not possibly care as q matter merely of
State policy whether these few negroes had
votes No. It was with them question
of principle. They have decided that it
was not intended that negroes should take
part in the government of the United
States-it was the expression of firm de-
termination-Gt would be but an unsatis-
factory excuse to say it was prejudice-)
| that the Southern States shall not be forced
under the domination of negroes to subserve
the ends of their own party. Nothing
shows more than these figures how utterly
repugnant to the American people, how
antagonistic to the spirit of American lib
erty, and how contrary to our social and
political polity, is the base attempt of Con
gress to erect negro balance of power in
the South, established on universal negro
enfranchisement and partial white disfran-
chisement. So heinous is this iniquity, and
so hostile are the people of the North to
its consummation that it already over
shadows every other question in the
approaching Presidential campaign. The
payment of the interest and the prin-
cipal of the bonds in government currency,
nay, the facinations of reputation, pale in
to insignifcance before this absorbing
Iuuestion. Public attention has been with
drawn from present political complications,
from the events of the war and its heroes
all personal and political interest sink
into insignifcance before this one engross-
ling question. General GRANT, with all his
military prestige and eclat, if placed upon
this obnoxious platform will not be able to
Iresist the force of the revolution which de-
mands that the neg1'o-Sfrage reconstruction
must not stand. Whoever May be the next
President of the United States, will owe il
to his open and drotced opposition TO negro
suffrage, and we repeat what we have said
on former occasion, that every prioilege
conferred on the negro in these Southern
States their rights have been and viii con
tinue to be willingly acknowledged and
protecte1 will depend upon their own ad
vancement and merits, as Judged by the
white people of these States. Mark the
early fulfllment of our prediction.

EnLEiCnI XfE1la,

The Radicals are venting their lmpotent
wrath against the President on account Of
the fearless tone of that officials message
Had it not been for the warning voice Of
the people in the late elections there can
hardly be q doubt that the President would
have been impeached, and pending the
trial, suspended from exercising the func-
tons of his Office, the Reconstruction Acts
would have been amended SO that only a
majority of the votes cast would bo sutfi-
Client 10 call Conventions IN the Southern
States and confirm the Constitutions which
they may adopt; yea, the 'mild confsca-
ton" doctrines of Thad. Stevens may have
found endorsement from Congress. But
now they fume and threaten all these things,
and more, but none SO craven as to pay
respect 20 their ridiculous rage.
They pretend to see in the message of
President JOHNSON the grossest insults to
the dignity and power Of Congress. Last
session holding over the Executive their
powerful threats of suspension and reno
val, they now find that officer warning them
OF tno Danger OF ulSC6SaIu1ng the COnStl-
tuition and injurinG the "organic struc-
'uro Of the Government" and stating in
language full of meaning that in such
cases the President must take the high
responsibilities of his Office, and save the
life of the nation at all hazards
The reference of the President to the
possibility of Congress "abolishing the CO.
ordinate department of tie Government >
IS understood to be the threat of the Radi
Gals that when articles of impeachment are
prepared, he is to he suspended from
Office during the trial. 70 show how little
authority they have for such an act, and
how utterly GO outside of the Constitution ;
such legislation would be, the following

Fire In Wilson.

We learn that on Sunday night last, a
most destructive fire occurred in the town
of Wilson, destroying some thirteen houses
in the business part of that enterprising
place. The stores of Messrs. Rosenthall,
Walton, Briggs, Blake and Kincaid were
among those destroyed. The total loss is
estimated at $685. 900. The fire originated
at the store of Mr.. e. S. Walton. It is
said to be the work of negro incendiaries.
