z arther FaiIures of Radicslism to Make
Their Ticket Respectable

Their Ticket Respectable.
Below we publish q card from Mr.. ELIJAH
HEWLETT, exposing tho unwarrantable use
of his name upon the Radical ticket of this
county, and denying that he ever had SYM
pathy with that party. 1t is difficult, in
deed, for the political spectators and
strangers who manage the Radical concern
in this section to find North Carolinians or
old residents base enough to desert their
fellow-men and their State to give tone
and character to their ticket"
By the way, we see the name of JAMES
WILSON up for County Commissioner in
place of Mr.. TAYLOR, who declined the
"honor." This Of course is not the same
JAMES WILSON who, in a letter to this pa
per declining their nomination for Alder
man of this city, said that, cas- cannot
and do not endorse the action of said Con-
ventiop, I am not candidate for office -
If it is we take it for granted that an I'M
authorized, and in view of the grounds of
the former refusal, a most extraordinary,
liberty has been taken with Mr. WILSON
name.
Mr. HEWLETTs card is as follows:
\ CARD.
Editors of the Journal:

County Commissioners upon the Radical ticket.
Its use IN this connection was without my know
ledge and is without my consent. had noticed
that E. w. Hewlett had been nominated by that
party for Commissioner, but did not know that

stating to the public that am no candidate, and
that my sympathies have never been with that
party, nor will their success be with my aid.

Children i'm Massachusetts FACTORIES.

Children In Massachusetts Factories
| There is law in Massachusetts, which is
intended to regulate the employment of
children in factories. The officer appointed
to enforce this law reports as follows
In Fall River he found one thousand
children employed in factories, mostly of
foreign parentage, in a generally low con-
dition, ignorant in many cases of their
own ages, earning very low wages, and
deprived in great part, or altogether, of
the school privileges which the law requires.
To illustrate the spirit of some of the en-
ployers, the officer inquired of the agent
of one of the principal factories,
whether it was the custom to do any
thing for the physical, intellectual, or NOR
al welfare of the work people. The answer
would not have been out of place in the
master of plantations, or the captain of a
cooie ship "We never do as for my
self, regard my work people as I regard
my machinery SO long as they can do my
work for what 1 choose to pay them, keep
them, and get out of them all T can. What
they do, or how they fare, outside of my
walls do not know. They must look out
for themselves, as I do for myself. When
my machinery gets old and useless. re-
ject it and get new and these people are
a part of my machinery"
Another agent in another part of the
State replied to a similar question, that
he used his mill-hands as he used his horse;
as long as he was in good condition and
rendered good service, he treated him well !;
otherwise he got rid of him as soon as he
could, and what became of him afterward
was no affair of his" That man, the re-
port says, had upwards of one hundred
children in his employment, most of whom
had never attended school. These are
cases of exceptionable hardship but in the
majority of establishments it is believed
that, by the connivance of parents and
employers, the law is violated, at least in
some Of it's parts, to most fearful extent

PARENTAL INFLUENCE. should
always be aware that their conduct before
child, in word or decd, forms part of its
education. They create the moral atmos-
phere for good or evil their little ones must
breathe. It is common to find the public
and private life of public men very differ
ent. The explanation is that mans pub
Tic life is what his public education has made
it, and his private life has been formed by
the influences and associations that have
clustered around him in the home Of his
childhood Example is the best of all teach
ers, or the worst, as the home may be the
best or worst of all schools. When they
are theformer, keep your children at home;
when they are the latter, reform them, or
pack your boys and girls off to boarding
schools.
Think of this parents. Always regulate
your conduct before your children as if
each and every little incident will have las
it most surely willy an influence upon their
future life. Bear this in mind and they
will have cause to bless your memories and
thank God that He gave them such parents.

Prostitution of the Pulpit.

If the Radicals were to cOnfne the utter
arce of their lies, and the PRONUNCIATION of
their atrocious doctrines and unprincipled
views to their dirty newspaper sheets and
through the medium of their foul-mouthed,
picayune, political demagogues and fedg-
ing orators, they might be excused. But
when they carry their doctrines into the
pulpit and prostitute that high and holy
place, and desecrate the sanctuary of the
Eternal God, by political harangues,
through the mouths of those who claim to
be ministers of the Gospel, High Heaven
should visit its curse upon them and blast
their hopes forever.
From so-called religious paper, pub
lished in Washington City, friend has
taken the following extract which he has
handed us for publication. It has refer
ence to sermon preached in fremont
Temple, Boston, by a distinguished Radi-
cal divine, who, Judging by appearances,
is of the same stripe as the sanity, would
be Superintendent of Public Instruction in
this State:
Rev. J. d. Fulton had an immense congrega-
ton, and his remarks national affairs We're
warmly spplauded, founded as they partly were
on his own recent visit to Washington. His sub
ject was 6 Governmental Authority and the Neces-
sity of Impeachment from the text in Matt. 8
o" For am man under authority" &c. This
well put and very effective discourse was printed
at length in the Traveller of Saturday.
It has been we'll written, 'The Devil can
quote Scripture for his purpose" In the
name of Heaven what are we coming to
Here we have man who enters the house
of God, levels his political sermon, in the
name of text taken from Holy Writ, at
the Chief Magistrate of the nation for doing
his sworn duty, and is opplaud'ed by his
congregation. Truly is the temple deiled,
and we'll can the saying be applied, as in
the days of old when Christ walked upon
the earth, Mine house shall be called the
house of praye, but ye have made it den
of thieves

Vent1On.
We learn that the Stan dard is making an
ado because some of the County Tax AS
SCISSORS are said to be going about and re-
quiring the people to list, for taxation,
their little property, such as chickens, cat
tie, pigs, pots, dishes, &c. The Standard
denies that there is any authority for this
thing. The Standard knows that it speaks
falsely when it utters such statement. It
is of piece with all its statements. It
never speaks the truth when falsehood
will better suit it's purpose.
We ask the people to read the following
erdct copy of the ordinance passed by the
late Mongrel Convention, levying tax to
pay its expenses
SECTION 1. Be ii ordained by the people Of
North Carolina, in Contention assembled,
That for the purpose of raising monies to
pay the expenses of this Convention, &C
cording to the acts of Congress in such
case made and provided, tax of one
twentieth of one per cent. shall be levied
on the land in North Carolina, according
to it's valuation in the year 1860, subject to
such changes therein as have been since
made by law, and on the personal property
within said State according to the valua-
ton thereof to be made in the year 1868.
This tax shall be collected, paid and ac-
COuu1OO ALL aS 1Ao AAodSuIy VI Cue OLdt0,
at the times when, and in the same manner
as, other State taxes are required by law
to be.
The collecting officers shall be subject to
the same penalties for failure to collect,
pay and account for the taxes hereby levied
as they now are for such failure in respect
to other taxes.
The said collecting officers shall receive
the like compensation for collecting the tax
hereby levied as for the collection of other
taxes.
This ordinance shall be in force from and
after its passage.

L. A. BYRNEs,


Now, what is the plain construction of
the above ordinance? What can any tax
assessor in the State understand by the
above ordinance, but that it provides for
assessing ga tax of one-twentieth of one
per cent. on the land IN North Carolina, &C
cording to it's valuation in the year 1860,
and ON THE PERSONAL PROPERTY
within said State, according to the valua-
ton thereof to be made in the year 1868?
What is the personal property within said
State, If it does not mean every particle of
property, except real estate, owned by the
people, black and white, in the State =?
If General Candy does not amend the
ordinance and limit its meaning to spe-
CITED species of property, will not every
assessor be COMPELLED, by the language
of the ordinance, to assess the value of all
the personal property owned by every per-
son in the State? Are not the furniture,
the provisions, the ducks, chickens, pigs,
corn, horses, &C., indeed EVERY THING,
except real estate, owned by the white and
black people of the State, the men, women
and children, the widows and orphans of
the State, PERSONAL PROPERTY? Is it not
perfectly plain that no tax assessor in the
State has the right, under this ordinance,
to exempt one particle of land or personal
property in the State from taxation ? And
is it not plain that, unless General Candy
issues his order modifying and explaining
the ordinance, every tax assessor will be
compelled to be governed by the liberal
and obvious meaning of the ordinance ?
Most certainly.

the law is imperfect, or there may be flaws,

The Kentucky Legislature will to-day under
take to elect a Senator in place of Mr.. Guthrie,
who resigned few days ago. Mr.. G. has not
been at Washington this session, we believe,
and recently many harsh things have been said
of him by his party organs who have long
been anxious to put more active man in his
place. Having the road clear, the struggle now
is over the candidate. Gov. Stevenson was
at one time the conceded successor, but now
it is said he has been retired, and "the rose
"and expectancy of the fair State" appears to
be either Jesse d. Bright or Beriah Magoffin.
Yet beyond all these ex-NoyaD Vice-Presldent
John C. Breckenridge is longed for He is on
pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Were his foot
upon his native heath, and his pardon granted,
he might to-day be sent to Washington as the
colleague of Garrulous Davis, as the Louisville
papers irreverently call their now only Senator.

ALARAMA.

1t is now reported at Washington that the
Alabama Constitution has been carried, the
latest returns showing that majority of the
registered voters cast their ballots at the cleo
ton. If this proves correct, the State will at
once resume her place in the Union, and the
following members of Congress will soon be
at Washington:
First District-F. W. Kellogg OF Mobile.
Second District-Charles W. Buckley Of Montgomery.
Third Dlstrict-B. w. Norris OF Elmore.
Fourth District-Charles w. Pierce Of MareDgo.
Fifth Dstrict-J. W. Burke Of Madison
A Legislature is, of course, elected, who will
choose two Republicans to the United States
Senate, and set in motion the regular ma
chinery of the State Government. The new
State officers are as follows:
Governor-wm. II Smith Of Randolph
Lieutenant GoverTsor--A: j. Applegate OF Madison
Secretary Of Stdte-Chares A. Miller OF Montgomery.
State Auditor-R. M. Reynolds OF Wilcox.
SLATE TredsureT-Arthur Bingham Of TalladeRa.
