that soldiers honor is sensitive, when assailed

Two gentlemen from the country called on us
day before yesterday, and informed US that
there was some uneasiness in their neighbor-
hoods about the designs of the negroes. They
said they were holding constant meetings at
night.
We are no alarmist, but we deem it the part
of prudence for the Government to increase the
military force at the South. We have said this

AN IGNORANT LEADER.

That intense Radical, G. w. Julian of Indi-
ana, in late speech in Ohio, said:
Manhood suffrage is no new thing. The
cOlored people voted before the Constitution of
the United States was formed. They voted
for its adoption. Andrew Jackson, who was
considered good Democrat in his time, sOlic-
tied and obtained negro votes. After the bat
tie of New Orleans, Andrew Jackson went
back to North Carolina, and being young and
somewhat ambitious, became a candidate for
the State Legislature The District being a
close one, he called upon the colored people
who had fought with him at New Orleans, and
of whom he had spoken in praise of their
bravery, to stand by him at the election The
colOred people feeling cOmplimented by the
praise bestowed upon them by Jackson, did
Tote for him, and their votes secured his cleo
tion to the Legislature" e
The fact is that Gen. jackson never ran for
Office in North Carolina. He was the only
Representative from Tennessee in the Congress
of 1896; II. S. Senator from that State in
1877, and subsequently Judge of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee. Afterwards he became
General Jackson, and after the battle of New
Orleans was engaged in the Florida Indian
wars. He was again in the u. S. Senate from
Tennessee in1823, and ip 1899was inaugurated
President Of the United States. We don't
think he got elected to the Legislature of North
Carolina by negro, or any other votes, after his
second term of the Presidency expired, and
we are very sure that no such honor happened
to him before he was President. ButOf course
the Radicals win believe Julian's story, as they
must believe that their leaders never state any,
thing false.

TARDY REFoHnG.-The English Parliament
lately passed an Act to remove certain relig-
ious disabilities affecting her Majesty's sub
iects, and to amend the law relating to oaths of
Office. The Office of Lord Chancellor of Ire
land can now be held by any person, notwith-
standing his religious belief; and every judi
cial or corporate officer may attend his place
of worship in his robes of office. A new oath
appears in the statute, and Quakers and others
permitted to affirm may now make declaration.
Another act was passed in the recent session
on the professorships in Dublin University,
which could be held only by Protestants; but
they are now open to all natives, irrespective
of their religious belief -

CHOLERA AND BAD WATER Many
readers viii remember that there was
in London, In June last, such a sudden
and deadly outbreak of cholera, that It
has usually been described as Echol-
era explosion. Four thousand per-
sons died, in one part of London, of
cholera, and the circumstances were so
remarkable that a rigorous investiga-
ton has been made. 1t has been as.
certained that the principal cause of
the terrible prevalence of cholera with
IN certain district was the use of un-
filtered water. There was ''a complete
coincidence of the schOlera field with
the field of supply of the unfiltered
water. The London Times says
''The outbreak of cholera IN the east
OF London occurred just after the I'M
filtered water was distributed in the
mains and butts of the inhabitants, and
soon after the effects of this polluted
water had been recorded by the Regis
trar General, and pointed out by Mr..
IGreaYes, the eruption began to decline.
The evidence received by the Commits
siOners points irresistibly TO the con-
clusiOn that the unfiltered water, I'M
happily drawn upon, was the principal
cause of the dissemination of the chol-
era poison among the unfortunate in
habitants of the east of London"
