The manner in which the Journal Of Com
merce and sundry other Democratic papers
have alluded to the murdered Sheriff Col
grove is indecent in the extreme. Even if
those editors were opposed to Mr.. Colgrove
during his life, they should have
too much manhood to calumniate
dead man. We do not wish to PREJUDICE
the motives which lead to the assassination
of Mr.. Colgrove, as we wish to become thor
oughly acquainted with all the circum-
stances before expressing ON opinion, but
we would say to those papers who are so
franticaly and strangely endeavoring to in
jure Interpolation of the murdered man,
and to create sympathy for his murderers.
that their actions are viewed with suspicion
and distrust, and are calculated to make the
people believe that the cowardly deed was
done by their party friends, and that their out
cries against the victim are intended to
shield the assassins We have given ex
preston to no opinion on the subject, and
every one must acknowledge that we are
acting fairly and impartially. We would
suggest that other papers do the same. No
paper which regards the interests of the
people and the good name of the State will
misrepresent this horrible murder OF attempt
to give it false coloring. 20 sir

The following extract from the Ashcville
Neaos, gives a mcrited compliment to Judge
j. L. Henry, and is the more valuable as it
comes from one of his political enemies, who
predicted the prostitution of the bench and
the downfall of the judiciary under the cleo
tive feature in the Constitution. Time re-
flutes their predictions, with their own vol
untary testimony: a7l d7AiF aHai o3a

ministration which now rules North Carolina
and especially to its judiciary and the man
ner in which they were elected, 1 feel it a
solemn duty to do justice where justice is
is due Mcdowell court has just closed, and
it is the universal testimony of the bar at
tending that court, that Judge ]. L. Henry
presided in manner to give full satisfaction
toall. The members of the bar attending that
court bear testimony to his promptness,
fidelity and impartiality. We should award
to our political opponents full justice, and
when they perform their duties applaud
them, and when they fail condemn them. In
matters OF this kind we should know no
party. G4 MEMBER OF THE BAR.

British Cotton Growing.

Gen. Alcorn, said to be one of the largest
cotton growers of this country, recently
made speech exhibiting the futile efforts
of the British government to demolish the
cotton trade of this country. He seems to
think them partially successful by the
growth in many places named, but the ex-
perience of the last year should inspire
every Southern man with confidence that
British gold and British effort is destined to
a failure in this as in some other prominent
historical instances. In this speech the ora
tor sets forth and proves that the Southern
cotton interest-which, in the palmy days OF
the republic, before the rebellion, used to
bring into the country an annual sum OF
$25O,000,000 gold-has been all but demoi-
ish by that collision that since the outset
of the war, a colossal conspiracy, initiated
by British capitalists and manufacturers,
encouraged by the British government and
Joined in by the governments and capitalists
Of other nations, has been at work for the
establishment of cotton culture abroad and
the breaking down of the American cotton
monopoly; that this conspiracy has so far
succeeded that, even in 1864, thirty nine
sources, exclusive of the United States, con-
tributed, for instance, to the supply of cot
ton at Manchester that Australia, Jamaica,
the French West Indies, Greece, Turkey,
Brazil, Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, Italy,
Austria (on the Adriatic), Hayti, Malta, Ja-
pan, China and Venezuela were among the
producers; that the fibre of foreign cotton,
in fourteen instance, was equal for average
purposes of manufacture, to the American
fibre. .eI-- .a-rE

We learn from the Norfolk Journal, that a
large party, consisting Of General Imboden,
President of the Board of immigration of
the State of Virginia; Mr.. Knapp, Commits
sioner of immigration for the State of New
York; Mr.. Pebrasch, of Germany Mr.. New
ton, of London; Carl Won Hesse, of Hesse
Darmstadt, and others, arrived in that city
from New York on Saturday, andproceeded
to the Atlantic Hotel. These gentlemen
visit Virginia under the auspices of Gen.
Imboden, and in order to make personal OBJ
serYations of the inducements for immigra-
ton, which if satisfactory, will result in
large purchases of land, and be the means OF
the arrival of at least $4,000 emigrants at this
point for Virginia and North Carolina before
the first day of January next. The party was
escorted by Marshal Parks and several other
citizens of Norfolk, who visited the farms
adjoining the city. In the afternoon they
proceeded in the steamer Cygnet to the
Southern, Eastern and Western branches,
and expressed themselves well pleased with
the progress made by the farmers on those
streams. The party then left for Richmond
to perfect certain arrangements with the
general land agency over which Gen. I'M
boden presides.

Assassination of Sheriff CoIgrove.

Last week we were compelled to make
the sad announcement that Sheriff o. R.
Colgrove. of Jones county, had been bru-
tally assassinatcd on the public highway
when peaceably attending to his official bu-
siness. The New Berne Times gives us some
meagre particulars, and we learn later facts
from private communication. - e..
So far as we have been able to learn the
facts they are as follows: AS Sheriff Col
grove was on his way from his home to
Trenton, Jones county, on Saturday, May
29th, at little past eight o'clock, he was
shot and killed by party of white men who
were concealed near the road side. A col
ored man, named Amos Jones, who was
with Mr. Colgrove, was shot through his
arm and side, and has since died. The
sheriffs horse received charge of buckshot
in his head. The colored man, Amos Jones,
knew some of the parties. One white man
has been arrested, charged with the crime,
and also one colored man, who is supposed
to know something concerning the butciery.
The fact of the murder was Immediately
telegraphed to Governor Holden, and he
has offered reward of $400 for the arrest
of the assassins. -asg
This will add little inducement to per-
sons who know the facts to disclose them to
the authorities; but no law-abiGing citizen
should wait for any reward, but at once do
all in his power to bring these men to JUS
tice. If crime cannot be punished; if the
innocent cannot be protected in their lives
and property and murderers brought to the
gallows, the country will go to anarchy, and
DO man, but one who is willing to take the
law into his own hands and wash out every
private grievance with the blood of the real
or imagined offender, will live in the coun-
try. No such condition of barbarity and ter
rorlsm is necessary. The law is sufficient
for its own vindication and the administra-
ton of justice Let that law be executed
/ and made terror to evil doers, if it
takes the whole available force of the
State, and the gang of thieves
and murderers who have so long infested
that county and kept its peaceable citizens
in panic, will sheatlic their bloody knives
and hide their dcviiish heads, or go down to
the felons' graves which their crimes merit.
We hope not to be required hereafter to re-
cord malicious murder each week or month
in that county.

The outgivings from the Treasury De-
partment concerning the next monthly state
ment, says the Tribune, grow better and
better. A few days ago we were promised
areduction in the National Debt this month
of at least seven millions. Nowiw are semi
officially advised that it will probably reach
ten to twelve millions. The receipts from
Internal Revenue for May amount to notless
than seventeen millions, and their rapid in
crease within few days warrants an ex-
pectation of even more. The receipts from
duties are about thirteen millions. Mean
while gold speculation has received bad
blow and is staggering, and Wall Street
abandons the effort to frighten the Secretary
from his path of duty. Thus, on all hands
the financial skies are frightening. In one
month of Grants administration we reduced
the dcbt$2, ,915, 800. In two months we're
duced it to $9,314, 800. And now the signs
promise that we shall bring our reduction,
by the end of the third month, to nearly or
quite twenty millions. Courage then !-the
light is breaking! If three months do so
much, what may we not hope from four
years. fogg -3z 5siH 3iig94 SID tfal

Mourn over the fallen Blue, mourn over the
fallen Gray,fo they were children to the same
mother. He who would speak of tue dead,
save in kindness and respect, is man too
base for one good thought, too contemplate
for one honorable action. America claims
the heroic deeds of all her children, no mat
ter in what cause they were performed, for
she was their mother. Living, they were her
children, dead, their. glory and their fame
belong to her who gave them life. Then
strew flowers upon their graves, the Blue
and the Gray, for they ars the nations

The Prospect.

Not of the Republican party, for every
one knows that it is bright and full OF en-
couragenent for the future, and does not
need that we speak of it now. 1t is the
prospect for fine crop in this yearof grace,
Ammo Domini, 1869, that greatly interests
us at this present moment. The rapidity of
our reconstruction depends very much on
the crops of this year. Quiet and submis-
sion to law will follow crops that shall fill
the stomachs of the hungry and the pockets
of the penniless. Good crops will make an
end of beggary and larceny-will destroy
the occupation of those whose daily bust
ness it is to grumble about high taxes and
abuse the Radicals for trying to pay the
debts they made, and for attempting to
raise the Old, North State out of the old and
worn ruts in which they had seen her for
four-score years until she was run down.
But of the prospect for the coming har-
vest Up to this date we dc not remember to
have seen more promising crop OF wheat
In the many years that we have lamented-
the shiftless farming of our State there has
not been the prospect of SO fair reward
as now for the poor farming done on the
wheat crop. In our State an unusually
large quantity is sown this year, and as
most of it is now past harm, we expect
plenty of good wheat The corn is late and
small, but the few days so warm lately, and
the activity of the farmers in ploughing,
have made quite change in its appearance,
and with favorable season there is room to
make large crop of corn. The cotton
crop also now promises better than it did
after our late frosts. Doubtless it will not
be full, but as there is so much planted we
may expect no decrease in the quantity
made. The oats crop will not be as good
as last year. Truck gardens begin to look
better. The fruit in many sections is entire
ly destroyed by the late frost. But b1aek6er-
ries are blooming profusely, not only in For
sythe but all over the State.

The Captain General OF Cuba is accused
of another shameful trick of State. The
Tribune correspondent in Havana relates
that the briet liberty of speech and of the
press given to the island by him was &C
corded for the treacherous purpose of ascer-
tanning the sentiments of the Cuban Repub-
Iicans, and fatally compromising them.
Plenty of Republicans were caught in the
trap thus set for them, and most if not quite
all their chiefs, open or covert, have been
sent to prison or exile.

The editor of the Sentinel has accepted an
invitation to deliver an address before the
Franklin county Agricultural Society, on
Saturday, the 5th of June.-SentineL
The people of Franklin county must have
committed some awful sin to receive such a
terrible punishment as this. However, "the
quin4 is tempered to the shorn lamb" and
perhaps has will give out, or he may break
his ''tickler' again. In the meantime the
agonized suspense of that unfortunate Agri-
cultural Society is painful to think of.
