A pious old clergyman, while wend-
ing his way to his church one Sunday
morning, caught sight of the two sous
of one of his practitioners, going into
the woods, evidently for the purpose of
hunting. Feeling certain that anything
like direct remonstrance with the young
gentlemen themselves would scarcely
turn them from their ways, he waited
until after preaching, and sought the
old gentleman, their father. After re-
counting the circumstances of meeting
Billy and Sammy as he had done, he
closed an affecting appeal by inquiring
of their father why they had not been
drought up in the fear of the Lord 2"
'tFear of the Lord, parson-fear of the
Lordl Why, they heU! They're SO
feared of him now they they dassent

ST. PETERS CARELESSNESS.

One night, as old st. Peter slept,
He left the door of heaven ajar
When through little angel crept,
And came down with falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
OF morn approached, my bluShi n9 bride
Awakened from some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more:
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way to that blest shore
And find the gate Of heaven again.

The Indian Question.

The manner in which to treat the Indians
of the West has been avexed question ever
since the foundation of the government. Each
administration has adopted a policy directly
opposite to that of the preceding one. The
'untutored savage however, has persistently
refused to coincide with the views of the
politicians, and has kept the even tenor of
his scalping way. Treaty after treaty has
been made, and as often broken by the In
dians. All they want is to have treaty
now and then to obtain presents from Uncle
Sam, and then they resume their often
sive operations. The government has SUBJ
mitted to this mode of procedure entirely
too long, and should now adopt another
policy, and one that will he adhered to.
Let war of determination be commenced
and followed up until the Indians are either
destroyed or driven beyond the limits of the
United States This is a harsh course, but
one demanded by necessity. 1t has been
proven beyond question that so long as the
Indians have the power they will war against
the white race. The long lists of brutal muir
ders the sickening accounts of the abuse of
helpless women, which come daily from the
Western States, show too plainly that
nothing but the destruction of the
Indian tribes will ever give security
to the people of the Western frontier.
This must be done in self-defence,
and for the advancement of civilization
The savage is relic of the past, and has no
business with the present. His nature is the
nature of thousand years ago, and cannot
be permitted to conflict with the nature of
to-day. His time has come, and there is no
good to be obtained from his existence. The
ground he occupies is needed by civilization
and barbarism must yield. If the Indian
race could be absorbed into the white race,
and the Indians made peaceable and useful
members Of society. it would be wrong to
destroy them. Experience, however, has
shown that between the red and white races
there is a natural antagonism which can
never be eradicated and that the red race
must be destroyed. This has been the his
tory of every country, that before the adj
vance of the Caucasian the aboriginal must
recede, and eventually become extinct. 1t
has been SO in other parts of America, and
will be so in the West Then let the Indians
be exterminated, that the lives of thousands
of our people may be preserved. 1t must
come to this sooner or later, despite the
maunderings of soft hearted humanitarians
who are willing to see their own people
murdered to save the lives of lot of thiev-
ing, murderous savagcs. Let the government
recall its Quakers, send out its soldiers and
commence vigorous and never ceasing war
upon the Indians, and let it continue this
course until life and property are again sate
in the West.

The August Elections.

We publish to- day the law under which
the August elections are to be held in
eighty counties of the State. Are the Re-
publicans of these counties prepared for the
contest? If they are not, let them at once
complete their organizations. Let them
loose no time in so doing, but go to work
with will and they will triumph. And
here we wish to tell our friends one thing
which they should not fail to do that is to
nominate no man for any office, no matter
how small its Importance, who is not
THOROUGH AND DECLARED REPUBLICAN
Let no man whose devotion to Republican
principles is at all doubtful receive the
support of Republicans Let no
wavering or haifdecided man be run for
any office, for if elected he would do as
much injury as an open foe. Much depends
upon the staunchness of our candidates, and
Republicans should select none but
true men. With proper care and foresight
this can be easily accomplished and Repub-
lican officers elected in nearly every county
in the State. Let the work commence at
once, that election day may find the Repub-
lican party throughout the State fully organ
lied and able to put forth its strength. If
this is done victory is assured.

Gov. Holden and the University.


Messrs Editors: Permit us to say, through
your columns, that of every vicisitude of
government through which we have passed,
whether war or peace, no one has done so
much and that too SO effectually, in recon-
Cling our recent difficulties, the results of
warfare, and in getting togethey the frag-
ments of dismembered State government,
as our present Governor-W. W. Holden.
We were left, at the close of the war, with
out means of self preservation, both in a
public and private capacity, but with every
disadvantage. Gov. Holden never despon-
ded. He went forth as truly good states
man in defence of his country's claim, Civ
ing incessant labor to the work of recon
struction, until it was effected upon an hon
orable basis and without corporal punish
ment and pecuniary penalties, pending for
our breach of faith to the general govern
ment. After equal rights in the Union hav-
ing been secured to us, the Governor is now
lending helping hand to supplying our
internal wants-for instance in rebuilding
up the State University. We hope he may
be attended with equal success; neverthe-
less that we, in this extreme Western por-
ton OF the State, have never heretofore been
benefited by the University, and for this
reason we never felt much interest in it. We
rather thought for it to be kept up by the
State, was sore taxation; and we think so
yet. But learning from a speech delivered
by the Governor at the late commencement
of the University, that it is going to be
'The Peoples College"-all white persons
in the State to share, and share alike, in
its benefits, there is already reaction in
foro conscienti@ of the people in its behalf
Old prejudice is now subsiding, and the
people here will do what they can in re.
building it up. WESTERN.

The standard.

The STANDARD is now theleading journal
of the State. 1t gives to its readers larger
amount of reading matter than any two
papers in the State put together. Every
week We are compelled to add a supplement
to the WEEKLY STANDARD which makes a
triple page paper. We are compelled to
do this in order to give our readers the
News, Miscellany. Political, Agricultural and
Family reading, which should be given by
a first class Journal. No other papers in the
State do this, but print small sheets half
filled with advertisements. The Weekly
STANDARD is emphatically the best Polti
cal and Family paper in the State, and the
people are tcstifying their appreciation of
our efforts by subscribing to our paper. Our
Weekly list is rapidly increasing, while the
Daily is gaining new subscribers every day.
Within two weeks we have received over
three hundred new subscribers to the Daily
STANDARD. No expense will be spared to
make the STANDARD the best paper in the
State All the latest news will be given
comprising all occurrences Of interest in the
civilized world, and at home the earliest
and most complete accounts of all impor-
tant meetings will be furnished by corps
of the best reporters in the State A
large amount of reading matter on Politics,
Agriculture, Religion and other subjects OF
interest will be given each week. There
will also be Stories, Poetry, Fashions, Re
cipes, &C., for the family. The Weekly
STANDARD will be greatly enlarged within
a month and then will be the largest paper
in the Atlantic Southern States. The
STANDARD, notwithstanding its already
large list has not as large circulation as it
should have. 1t should go into every town
and village in the State and into every
family. By the end of the year it should
have TWENTY THOUSAND Weekly subscribers.
Every man needs good paper and can af-
ford to pay for it. Our friends in every
part of the State should at once aid us to
increase our list, for by so doing they also
aid themselves. Let every reader of the
STANDARD get up club and as soon as
possible. Our club rates are the most ia
vorable now offered to our people. We
will send 10 copies for $4,000, and an extra
copy to the persons who gets up the club.
In order that our friends may at once enter
upon the work, we send to each of our sub
scribers subscription list. By little ex-
ertion each of them can get US from five to
fifty subscribers and thus advance the in
terests of the STANDARD and the interests of
the people, for the STANDARD is the
PEOPLES JOURNAL. Let our friends
go to work and the results will be even
better than they can anticipate.

In the United States Court Thursday
Evans Turner, brother of Josiah Turner, Jr.,
editor of the Sentinel, was found guilty of
illicit distilling and sentenced to pay 81 900
fine and to be imprisoned for six months.
The case was q peculiar one. Mr.. Turner
had been warned of the consequences by
revenue officials, but persisted in his course,
and some time thereafter, being detected in
his illegal distilling, was arrested. The
anguish of the unhappy man created much
sympathy for him but the law was clear and
the Judge had no alternative but to pro-
nouncc the sentence of the law. We have
no disposition to use this matter for politi-
cal purposes. We have always been opposed
to making such cases party weapons, or
means of individual assault, and will now
show the honesty of wishes by dismissing
this subject now and forever. Let those
whose feelings might be made to suffer from,
a perverted use of this unhappy fact, re-
member our action and be equally forbear-
ing to those who may sometime here
after be unfortunate.

The People Wait.

Another day has passed and still the Su-
preme Court has not announced its decision
in the case of the protesting lawyers. We
do not regard this as doing justice to either
the people or the protesting lawyers. If they
are guilty, they should be punished. If they
are not guilty, they should be restored to
their rights. But some decision should be
promptly given. We believe that the law
yers who signed that protest are guilty of
intentional contempt. We believe that they
intended to insult the Court and to weaken
its authority. And this is the general opin-
ion throughout the State. Neither have the
protesting lawyers ever sought to deny this
fact, until they were brought to account by
the Court. They then denied that they had
any intention of insulting the Court, but
this was evidently done under fear of losing
their practice. This denial was regarded as
clear back down by the other protestants,
especially by those who had nothing to lose.
Whatever may be the decision, the protest
ants will come out with dropping fathers.
Their regulations as keen lawyers, are for
ever gone, for they have been proved to be
unable to take care of themselves. Probably
no body of professional gentlemen were ever
caught in such a ludicrous fix as the
protesting lawyers of North Carolina
By their shutting, undecided course they
have greatly injured themselves. Their late
declaration that they meant no contempt
to the Court by their protest is so strangely
at variance with the heroic defances of two
months ago, that the contrast is noticed by
every one. Thus, whether the Court con-
victs or excuses them, they have no reason
for pride, but should keep in the back
ground until the people have somewhat for
gotten their shame. They should remember
that by their plea they have confessed them
selves to be either hypocrites or slanderers.
If they did believe that which they alleged
in their protest, they pust have acted the
part of liypocrites when they pleaded that
they did not intend to insult the Judiciary.
If the plea be true, then they stand confessed
OF having slandered the Judiciary of their
State for their political purposes. They
can take either horn of the dilemma that
they most fancy, but neither will greatly re-
dound to their credit, or cause them to gain
the respect of the people. Let them reflect
upon this, and, if they can, explain to the
people of North Carolina why they have
endeavored to blacken the character of the
Judiciary of the State. As to the Court
itself, the gentlemen who compose it re-
member that the people are watching
them, and that their decision is to
forever determine in what light they
are to be regarded. If the law
warrants the punishment of the
insulters, the people DEMAND that the
punishment be awarded, and will forever re
pudiate that Judge who fails to vindicatt
the honor of the people as vested in the
Court. Let the Court consider well its de
cision, and let it be one that will do equa
honor to the court and the State.

Yesterday was very pretty day, and
many strange faces were seen on our streets.
They belonged to the Nerth Carolina excur-
SION party. NORFOLK Day Book.
This is evidently fling at Hearne and the
Hillsboro' Recorder man. We understand
that many of the excursionists looked deci-
deqly strange when they returned. We
don't wish to make any insinuations, but we
feel it to be our duty to state to Bro. Evans
that singing :sWe won't (hic) go home until
(hic) morn (hic) ing" is calculated to
arouse suspicious Of the singers sobriety.
Let It be Record(er)ed.

Nova Scotia is in very bad way. She
is not well pleased with her enforced incor-
poration in the New Dominion, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, and stoutly refuses
to regard her fate as an enviable one. So
widespread and outspoken is the discomfort
that annexation to the United States is free
ly advocated, not only in the public press of
the province, but in the Legislature as well.
A striking evidence of the state of public
sentiment was afforded yesterday, at the
propagation of the Legislature. The Gov
ernor in his speech ventured to express a
hope that the colony would continue loyal
and attached to British institutions. This
straw shows very conclusively the direction
in which the wind is blowing.

The Goldsbore' Me,Ds has the following
muleish article which it, having OBJ
served that we never say anything about
mules, dedicates to the STANDARD. We re-
fer this to Engelhardt and suggest that the
Star write another article about ''impeach-
ing war records" and make the audacious
Neaos discontinue its vile attempts to injure
inoffensive war-records: 1.-THE man that
would let me ride his mule when had no
mule, and be had mule, and I wanted to
ride mule, would let him ride my mule
when he had no mule, and had mule,
and he wanted to ride mule; but the man
that would not let me ride his mule when I
had no mule, and he had mule, and I
wanted to ride mule, I would not let him
ride my mule, when he had no mule, and
had mule, and he wanted to ride mule"

John Bull has ceased his defiance of Amer
lea, aud the growlings Of the British Lion
are no longer heard John has now SO much
to attend to at home that his attention is
fully occupied. The British government Is
in bad way and the efforts of the govern
ment party seem to be of little avail. The
action of the House of Lords concerning the
sDis.establishment Bill and the counteraction
of the people show that the government is by
no means firmly seated. The Lords, the
hereditary lawmakers of England, have
been obliged to adopt course adverse to
their wishes. 1t has been contest between
the aristocracy and the people and the aris-
tocracy has been obliged to yield. Even the
London Times did not dare to resist public
opinion, but advised the Lords to yield to
the people. Strange but significant hints
have been openly given the Lords that if
they oppose the people they will be "set
aside" What does this mean? Does it
mean that the British people have come to
the conclusion that they can govern them
selves much better without the dictation OF
the aristocracy2 1t looks so. The bolaness
with which the people tell the aristocracy
that they must yield to the wishes of the
masses is the best evidence of the mighty
change that has come over the English peo-
pile. But few short years ago the nobility
boosted that they had but to command and
the people obeyed. Now the people com.
mand and the nobility obey. The people will
not rest here A great popular movement
is like an avalanche, slow and feeble at first
but soon gaining speed and power that is
irresistible. Let the English nobility be-
ware, or they will soon find themselves
hurled from their high places, for no man,
or body of men, can resist the power of a
determined and revolutionary peolpe.
