1t is true that our brass band gave us fine
entertainment short time since, but last
evening the exhibition by the pupils of the
colored school, under the able management
of MIR. T. Whitmarsh Cardoza, was, by all
odds, the best thing of the kind I have
ever witnessed. The exercise consisted of
dialogues, choruses, &c. The concert reci-
tation of Southey's description of the Gaia
Iact of Lodore was ably done by six boys.

schools in other sections of the country, but
this 10y children who were slaves five years

will be admitted into West Point Academy
and for aught we know some of these same
bright boys may, some day, be among our
Generals. The way is clear, and God grant
it may continue so.
During the interval of the first and
second parts, Mrs. Cardozo sung "Norma"
as a solo. 1t was performed in such supe-
rior style that several of the white friends in
the audience sent her note requesting her
to repeat it. Her performance on the piano
forte was excellent.
Mr.. Cardoza and his wife came here as
teachers, and, we believe, to settle. If such
is the case, hope our colored and white
friends will make their new home pleasant
for them. They arc an additionto any city;
and when we remember that they belong to
that race which was once held in bondage,
we can only point to them as examples for
the colored people of our State.

The Wilmington Post thinks "the STAND

STANDARD is not afraid to denounce libel
upon the administration of North Carolina,
let it come from what source it may. When
we are too cowardly TO defend the admins
tration OF our State we will leave the news
paper business to men who can do their
duty, but until then we shall denounce
wrong no matter by whom committed or by
whom endorsed. We do not like those luke
warm Republicans who will sit quietly by

Not So.

The Sentinel has such a high respect for
truth that it never uses it upon any occasion.
Its last story is as follows: Nineteen out
oftwenty of the murders committed in North
Carolina since the war, were committed by
members of the League. The horrid MUIR
ders in Jones county were committed by
members of the League" The absurdity of
these statements is too evident to require any
contradiction. That members of the League
should kill each other, is folly to suppose,
and most of the victims have been colored
men. The murders in Jones county were
committed by Democrats, and Democrats
were the men who defended the deed
The colored man who was one of the
victims, upon his dying bed swore, by the
name of that God in whose presence he
knew he was soon to stand, that a man
named Haswell was one CT the men who
murdered sheriff Colgrove and himself. Has
well is Democrat. The papers that en-
deavored to palliate the deed, and to vilify
the character of the murdered men, were
Democratic papers. The friends of the MUIR
dered men were Republicans. Their enemies
were Democrats. 1t is, then, the height of
impudence and brazen effrontery for the Sen
tinel to make such glaringly false assertion.
Such course will not remove the guilt of
that deed from the Democratic Meth
CT do we believe that the course of the Sen
tineI in this matter will meet with the ap-
prevail of the honorable of its own party.
Such "curses are like chickens that come
home to roost" We do not, however, expect
decency from that sheet Its course has been
so shameless as to disgust even the party
which it claims to represent, and what it
can't stand must be bad indeed What OBJ
ject it expects to gain by such plain and
studied falsehoods we do not know, neither
do we care, for it cannot change the mighty
current of public opinion, which is now set
ting so powerfully against it and against its
party. Let it 60 on in its own course. Let
it endeavor to bespatter its filth upon men
who disdain the malice which controls it,
and let it work hard, for its time is short,
and soon the place which knows it now will
! know it no more. Its course has been such
as to disgust those who were its supporters,
| and its malice has injured but itself.

charges on lime and other fertilizers. Since
