"RefributiOn,'

In another column of our paper this
morning will be found an article from the
Raleigh Standard. 1t is in reply to an
editorial of the JOURNAL and bears the
significant title of ''Retribution." We
wish our readers to consider thouehftully
the position taken by the Standard and
that occupied by the Journal. The posi-
ton OF the JOURNAL is not now and has
not ever been an equivocal one. Our col
umns will bear us out in saying we have
ever been earnest advocates of law and
order. We have ever counseled Obedience
and respect to the law and its duly consti-
tinted officers as the duty of good citizens.
We sincerely wish the course of the Stan
dad had been equally conducive to peace

secret power preparing to crush men who
| have been convicted of no offense known
| TO the law of the land. Without allowing
any cooling time to men thus ineensed,
this simple statement of facts " is again
put forth to induce men, il is said. VINO
are placing the halter around their
necks to pause and avert the swift
and terrible retribution about to fall
upon them; and all this is done when there
is nc pretence even that any of these men
thus doomed to death have ever been con-
victed or tried or ever indicted for any
crime. Such being the condition OF affairs
we cannot repress anxious forebodlngs'
We fear that our Governor lacks either the
will or the wisdom to avert an outbreak.
We had hoped that the officers of the law,
in spite of their known DEFICIENCIES, would
be able to convince the people that the
law was amply sufficient to protect the in
nocent and to punish the guilty. We have
constantly urged all classes of people to
appeal to the law for redress of injuries.
We have constantly deprecated resort to
violence or to redress outside of the law.
We have constantly begged for a faithful,
impartial administration of the law. We
fear we have done these things to little
purpose, however. Ii the violent course of
the Standard be persisted in, if negroes
banded together and drilling, under Cir
cumstances calculated to excite reasonable
apprehensions, If spies and withal, men
of such character that no jury would be-
lieve them under oath, be sent among
people already excited, we fear bloodshed
cannot be avoided. We think, however,
it can be avoided if there be the will to do
so on the part of Governor Holden. If,
as Governor of the State of North Caro-
lima, he will issue a proclamation to the
people of the State, both black and
white. calling upon them to return
and obedience to the law, pledg-
ing himself to see it faithfully and
impartially executed, and advising and ask
ing them for the good of the State to with
draw from all secret political associations,
from all secret associations formed for
protection or redress. as being dangerous
to the peace Of the State-if he will do
this and cause his official and other organs
among the press 70 sustain his proclama-
ton and to withdraw oil threats of punish
ment or force other than that inflicted in
pursuance of the requirements of the law,
we are fully persuaded chat not one month
would elapse before peace and quiet would
prevail in the State If some such policy
as this be not adopted We fear bloodshed
cannot be avoided. We speak plainly and
earnestly. We have done all we could to
preserve the peace and it now only remains
to await the result. IF the conflict comes,
the blood OF dying men will not cry to
heaven against us, and if when il comes
neither innocence nor sex, official position,
nor youth, nor age shall give protection TO
the victim of pers onal or party animosity,
the responsibility will not rest upon us.

The cross-examination of James Gordon

The witness did not know Judge Troy,

not asked by any one to have my testi-
mony committed to paper. The commits
sion of Commodore Higgins was from the
Cuban government :; the ship was spoken
of in the orders of the Cuban government
as public ship belonging to the Cuban
navy. Think the shipping articles were
signed off Montauk Point, on the ODD
September-am not certain.
Direct examination resumed. The wit
ness made some unimportant corrections
of his testimony in regard to localities and
dates. The shipping articles enlisted us
for six months service in the Cuban navy.
We were to get equal share of the prize
money, according to our respective posi-
tons and rank. Our wages are $35 per
month in gold.

Moderate Drinkers.
BY SUMNER sTEBBINs, NJ. D.

Just here will take occasion to affirm
without the fear of successful contradic-
ton, that if moderate drinking could be
practiced without producing one unmiti-
greater and more hopeless than they are
now. In the first place, all will admit that
they would be more prevalent and more
difficult to eradicate. Were it not for the
wholesome fear of being led into drunken
ness many would use the milder beverages
who now practice total abstinence. The
danger of excess does deter thousands from
tasting the unclean thing. Take away that
plorabe. The vulgar opinion is that the
evil is found in the excess only. But that
is a fatal error. The evils of moderate
drinking, aside from 6eastly intorication,
be set forth in the light Of impartial truth.
regard them as all the worse for being less
apparent and more difficult to describe. In
attempting to expose them we must under
stand what is meant by the phrase "mod-
crate drinker," for hold that all drinkers
of alcohol are drunkards and that we have
only stages in the phenomena of drunken
ness. The quantity of liquor which barely
elevates one, will e1hilarate.. another, and
stupefy the third. But each is intoxicated
or drunk consequently we have only diff
ferent degrees of the same unnatural con-
dition. What are called moderate drink
ers are more truly moderate drunkards,
and should be known as such.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1869-11-27
Wealth..

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is the failure of the common
people to appreciate small things. They
feel that if they cannot save large sums
they will not save anything. They do not
realize how daily addition, be it ever so
small, will soon make large pile. If the
young men and young women of to-day will
only begin, and begin now, to save little
of their earnings, and plant it in the soil
of some good savings bank, and weekly or
monthly add their mite, they will wear
happy smile of confidence and independ-
ence when they reach middle life. Not
only the pile itself will increase, but the
desire and ability to increase it will also
grow. Let clerk and tradesman, laborer
and artisan make now and at once begin
ming. Store up for your youthful force
force and igor for future contingency. Let
parents teach their children to begin early
to save. i.egin at the fountain head to
control the stream of extravaganza, and
then work will be easy. To choose between
spending and saving is to chose between
poverty and riches. Let your youth go on
in habits Of extravaganza for fifty years
to come, rs they have for fifty years past,
and we SHALL be a nation of beggars with a
moneyed aristocracy. Let a generation
such as save in small sums be reared, and
we shall lie free from want. Do not be
ambitious for extravagant fortunes, but do
seek that which it is the duty of every one
to obtain, independence and comfortable
home. Wealth and enough is within the
reach of all. 1t is obtained by one process,
and by only-saying
