WHAT A CONSERVATIVE Is.-The New
York Tribune having declared that it had
never been able to make oct exactly what
q Conservative is, the Express talks to it as
follows:
"We will try to enlighten our neishbor.
Neratiyely, then, Conservative is just the
onnosite OF il Radical. lie is neither de-
sfroyer of the State nor Of Federal and State
Constitutions. He is neither Il Red nor L
Black Kepublican-nclther fanatic in his
religion nor his politics. Allirmatlvely,
his faith, politically, is, to preserve the Con-
stitution, to obey the laws, to maintain the
rirhts of the people, of the States, and
miInicipalties, and in all ways to secure
the greatest good Of the greatest number
of people. Through party organiza-
tions and by social and other institu-
tions, whether of State, School, or Church,
4 Conservative also believes in that
which produces the greatest amount OF
good to his country, his State, and his
home. Hence he would have all men cease
to do evil, and learn to do well. The Con-
seryatiye man, and especially the ConserVa-
tive statesman, aims to preserve Wnat Is
beneficial, He is Tor. reform, but not for in
noyation. He believes with Edmund Burke
that !" innovation is not REFORM" and that
it is not enough in public life or private life
for men to mean well. It also becomes
them to do well. The best Conservatives
NAV fall short of this IN standard OF puls-
lie life and private character, but we are
giving our ideas of what q Conservative Is.
IN brief. then, his purpose is TO protect and
nreSerye the State from all enemies, Inter
nal and external, and to- guard as with q
wall of bayonets its free institutions"

The GREAT AND FAITHFUL A. P. Hill
The New York World says:
If the wandering, death-bed utterances
of the two great Confederate chieftains,
"Stonewall " jackson and Robert E. Lee,
may be considered as final upon the matter,
then the late Confederate General A. P.
Hill, who lost his life at the closing battle
of the war, must be accepted by history as
the most trusted coadjutor of these eminent
commanders. In his dying moments Jack
son exclaimed "Send A. Z. Hill to the
front!'' Upon his death-bed at Lexington
General Lee, as the telegraph states, his
mind reverting to the bloody events of the
war, "once ordered his tent to be struck,
and at another time desired Hill to be sent
for." Thus does it appear that, in the SUI
preme moments of the closing hours of
those men upon whose shoulders restedthe
heaviest burdens of the war upon the side
of the Confederacy, came the utterances,
born of deiiri1m, but more solemn for that
reason, that stamps General A. P. Hill as a
man whose presence was to be desired and
whose fidelity was assured. No higher
compliment could be paid to his memory
than these parting words of Lee and Jack
son,

tiOns were adopted:
Whereas the trustees of the town of Man.

the death OF General Robert L. Lee There
fore, be it
1. Resolued, That we, rs the representa-

2. That we recommend to the people OF

shall be set apart by the Governor as day
Of public mourning in cOmmemoratlon o
his death.
In no place in his native State had the
gallant Lee more devoted admirers than il
Manchester, and her citizens yield to none
in deploring his loss and in reverence to hl'
eail1ted memory.

A CONSERVATIVE CoLoRED MAN SHOWS
Hrs PLUcg.-surprise was expressed in our
issue of yesterday that colored ConserYi-
tive enioying the confidence Of this commu-
nity ike Abram Hall should have attended
the Radical Nominating Convention at the
county courthouse. on Saturday. we have
since been informed that Hall went there
from most praiseworthy motives, and
during the meeting avowed his Conserva-
tive sentiments, even at the risk OF his life.
He branded the statement of one of the
speakers that the whites wished again to
cnslave the blacks as lie, and denounced
without mercy the craven fellow who
abused General Lee. For these offences
against kadiculism Hall was greeted with
rries of "Put him out!" g Kill him |! u
&C., when he took the stand, in response to
the calls of his friends. And he actually
was put out of the house. Backed by white
and colored Conservatives. however, he
returned to the charge, and did not leave
the room again until the scalawags ad
iourned. .... .-E.
