George W. Gahagan.

1t is not possible for an intelligent OBJ
server to cast his eye over the House of Re
presentatives without being attracted by
the venerable form of the Representative
from the county of Madison. He is a gen
tleman of the old school, and. what is now
rare, isa true Southerner-a Radical Repub-
ucan, and bears heart as true to the Union
ofthese States as magnet to the pole. No
constituency are represented with more fdel-
ity than the Republicans of Madison. He
whom they trusted never lodges, never
swerves. never grows weak in the knees. 1t
is really refreshing to hear the clear and So
norous ring of his yeas and nays on all the
questions at issue. 1t is ever safe to vote
with Gahagan and be sure that your charac-
ter for Republicanism, honesty and intelli-
gence is safe. He is the fast friend OF pro-
gress, and is far in advance of his section in
his views on education and Improvements.
1t was our pleasure and honor to
know this tried servant of the people when
he was a delegate to the Constitutional
Convention of 1868. In those trying days
no truer man stood among the advance
guard OF Republican freedom. The modes
ty Of this earnest man equals his moral worth
and he is an embodiment of true man of
the people His large heart and generous
views raise him above all narrow prejudice,
the bane of our counsels. In these days
when backbone is desideratum among
Republicans, and weak knees have become
chronic disease, it is inspiring to see the
calm, dignifed and unswerviHg course of
this sage of the mountains, as he stands by
the people in hisvotes on the school bill and
bears defeat from his friends We are ever
and anon reminded of Milton's grand lines

WHEREAS, This Legislature having learned
with great pleasure the successful and victorious
campaign OF the Wake county militia in suppress
sing the " new rebellion" in the county OF Ala
nance; therefore,
Be Il resoluea, By the General Assembly of
North Carolina that vote of thanks be awarded
the heroes OF that memorable struggle and that
apensiou he allowed the manned and unfortu-
nate for life.
The Chair ruled the resolution cut of order.
This is the miserable attempt at wit of
the man who represents the Ku Klux of
Alanance county in the House of Represen-
tatixes No one who knows him and reads
this preamble and resolution but is assured
that it is the proper measure of the patriot
ism and respect for law and order as it holds
in Dr. J. A Moore. just such want OF
respect for authority and life must char
acterize the man who, few weeks since,
could, over his own signature, assert the 10y
atty of the Ku Klux that he represented,
and deny that peace and order were dis
turbed hy his constituents. Now, when, af-
ter repeated demands made by the best
and most orderly citizens of the county
upon the Executive for armed force
to put down midnight violence, that
requisition has been granted, and
after number of arrests have been made;
after most positiEesevidence is had on which
to bind parties to appear in Court to an
swer for the violation of law, lie at
tempts to ridical .the whole matter. Even
Democrats, men who have characters to
sustain, frowned it down. Citizens of Ala
nance, quiet men who abide by the law,
you who know sf the violence and threats
of these midnight bands of ruffians, this is
the sympathy of ]. A. Moore for your lives
and safety. This is your representative who
Casts odium on your wrongs. Mark the

THE New AMERICAN PIGMENT IN ENGLAND
now known as the Bartlett Lead-zinc has begun
to attract attention on the other side of the At
lantic as well as in this country. The claims
made for the pigment are so extraordinary that
the London Mining Journal, with the usual de-
cisveness of the British mind in dealing with
novel propositions, and particularly with novel
propositions from America, declares the "pro-
cess said to be used and the resulting product to
be alike improbable if not impossible"
The Journal even thinks the removal of mine
from New Jersey to North Carolina a "much
more simple achievement than the production
of the pigment stated by the process described"
for it inlers the transmutation of metals to be
can accomplished fact in this process" and de-
clares that if the process is really gone through
with and the result reached, ''all chemical knowl-
edge is absolutely worthless" This is neither q
very exact nor very scientific way OF putting
things. 1t reminds one of the temper in which,
at certain meeting OF scientific men at Cincin-
natl several years ago, one of the most distin-
guished of living naturalists undertook to put
down any differences from an extraordinary geo.
reading paper son the irregular and illegiti-
mate character of certain American formations. !"
On the other hand, Mr.. Muspratt, of the Liv-
erpool College of Chemistry, leading and well
known English chemist, has submitted this
'impossible" result to q series of experiments,
and declares it to be ia zinc oxide paint, with
an admixture of lead compounds, which contains
no constitutional water, and in this respect dif-
fers in a marked degree from the ordinary white
lead of the Dutch process" He finds its tincto-
rial power to be 10 that of the best white lead as
10 to 16, its capacity to be as 10 to II, and its
power OF resisting sulphurous yapors 10 be much
greater than that of white lead. There would
really seem to be no doubt that in the Bartlett
mine pigmenc new and important addition has
been made to the available resources of this coun-
try."-NeW York Herald. i'a'fA i'tt 'f'''

RUNS DoINGs.-We learn that the man who
was killed on the North Carolina Railroad on
Saturday morning last, notice of which appear
ed in the STANDARD of yesterday, was named
family. He borrowed horse at Durbam's to 60
few miles, and when returning, being consid-
erably under the influence Of liquor, is supposed
to have taken the saddle off the horse and laid
down on the railroad track. He is said to have
been clever, inoffensive man, with but one
fault-love OF strong drink-but that cost him
his life.

ing of the reelection of the Democratic mem
bers of the Indiana Legislature who so lbasely
deserted their posts to prevent the ratification

returned Republican in place of the deserter.
