III. C.. Reid.

We see in the Sentinel CT day or two
since sworn statement of H. G. Reid, in
which he maketh oath concerning Stephen
A. Douglas and the Editor of this paper.
There are in said statement six different
falsehoodsand they will be proved such at
Court.
Gen. Douglas and the Editor Of this paper
waived an examination before Justice HsT-
rison and gave their bond. 1t was rumorcd
everywhere here, and extras were circula-
ted through the State announcing it as
fact. that Gen. D. had run away, taking
with him $4,000 militia money. Gen. D.
is here, and paymaster jenkins says the
money is here also. ~
The General disappointed his enemies by
remaining here to be arrested, and second
time to be examined. He will do so again
and will be here at Court.
1t is but bad gencralship that makespub-
lie plan of attack or of defence, but that
the people of this city and Others may un-
| derstand the truth of this much talked Of
case we will state three facts and these facts
will be proved
1st. Gen. Douglas drew no pistol on Reid
but was invited into his house by Reid,
| who shook hands with him when he left.
| 2d. Reid stated to Mayor Harrison and
two other gentlemen, that he saw Douglas
point pistol at Patton's head, and in his
written statement he says that le did not
either see or hear from competent authority
any such thing. ar
3rd. Gen. Douglas got from Reid every
statement he asked without using any force

Partizan Abuse.

We see that partizan abuse has somewhat
ceased since the campaign. Our position is
this, that we do not care whether it has or
not; when we catch any of you on the hip we
intend to pay you back again. That is all
And because we stand in the forefront.
But we do rejoice to note one fact, and
that is, that no Republican paper in this State
during the recent contest r eonally assailed
Mr.. Shipp.
The Sentinel, (noted for its scurrilltO did
personally assail Mr.. Phillips.
However, this gentleman stands higher
to-day in the affections of the people, be
cause of his brave conduct than any or all
/ Of his calumniators.
We deem it due to him, (whilc we ask no
quarter for this paper0 to say that such is
the case
And we repeat, that We honor him more
at this hour than ever before We believe
that he is shining light and growing man,
one who has struck hard and often, who
will yet succeed. There is no doubt but that
he will yetgrace the highest Offices in the gift
of the people Of this State. He observes
any of them, and the hour will come when
he will secure them.
Bold and decisive in his action and
words, he docs not ask sympathy from any
of his foes. Mark what VIC say, when we
repeat that proud man. who has fought
Ills way upwards, and fails for the moment,
that nothing siings him more than maudlin
scntimcntality. But the low abuse flung at
him has ceased. 1t was used for purpose.
1T has gone to The political sewers and been
swept away intn the ocean OF Conservative
filth. There it will lie, until it rots and
passes away even from thcremembrances of
the diseased brains of his most unscrupu
lous opponents.

The French Situation y

1t Is folly to attempt to disguise the pres
ent deplorable condition of France. France
to day may be said to be included within
the limits of Paris. Practically this isso.
Before the late triumph Of the Prussians
at Weissenburg the French government
"magnanimously" tolerated Prussians with
in her limits. Alter the fall of that strong
hold the French required all Germans to
leave the country or take out permit to
remain. This order was hardly promulgated
when nearly million of Germans were
pouring into France without lc nit. The
presence of this unauthorized body of Ger
mans in Franco would seem irregular, and
no doubt will cause much trouble; and, as q
contemporary says, it may DC that before
long the Emperor may reqnire permit
from them. H-
The hope of France is in the strength of
Paris, and il this be so the French will soon
be hopeless aai =.
The Government organ says, the defence
of Paris is now assured that it would re-
uuirc an army of half million to invest its
Notifications, while 10000 men could defend
them. Now if the French army is not able
to keep the Prussians away from Paris, they
cannot keep them out of it. 1t is the opin
ion that it will take just as many men to
defend Paris in q state of seige as to sue,

The Lesson of North Carolina.

The result of the late election in North
Carolina teaches the Republicans of the
South lesson which ought to he warning.
Governor Holden and his friends fought a
brave battle, and deserve all honor for their
perseverance and pluck. Only mean.spiritcd
men will upbraid them for this defeat, and
demand that they shall be dismissed from
the command of the organization. They
did their best. They know the situation
well and it is not for us, who are at dis
tancc, to condemn them on the testimony of
prejudlced witnesses. One thing alone re-
mains uncontcsted and clear after this elec-
tion-that we hare lost North Carolina alone
because the Republicans there hare not been
cordially united.
And herein are the lesson and the warn
ing to the Republicans North and South.
II they do not act together they will be de-
feated. They must either unite or consent
to go to pieces. They have the majority in
Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia, South Caro-
lima, and Arkansas, and yet all these States
will be lost to us unless the spirits that con-
solidates the rebel Democracy is'imitated by
ourselves. -
The rebel Democracy seized the Demo
cratic triumph in North Carolina as the sure
sign of their triumph in the next Congress
of the United States. Le. us give their ex.
pectation its full weight. and calculate its
full consequences, and then ascertain our
duty and our danger.
The way to victory in the future elec.i0ss
is clear and straight. Harmonious acsi6n
among common friends, and disinterested.
ness in the support of the nominations and
principles of the Republican party, will give
us success. Any other policy will cover our
cause with disaster as incvitailc as it will
be deserved Washington Chronicle. 4,

Sion III. Rogers.

Sion H. Rogers stated on the street to
the executive clerk OF the Governor that If
the Governor dared to hang one of the Yam
-neyxillc -nrisoners, he, the Governor, woula
be the first hug.
If Mr.. Sion II. Rogers, the elect OF the
Kuklux assassins, will make good his empty
and cowardly threat by attempting to raise
troops to march OH Yanceyville, or to assas-
sinate the Governor, the Governor will at
least soon land him in the keeping of Col.
Kirk, where he will have the opportunity to
cultivate the acquaintance of his brother as
sassins. -s-fE

cessfully fight the Prussians beyond its walls.
Paris has no natural defences, and is assailable
from all sides. It's Notifications would offer
no serious obstacle, and earthwork defenccs
would require to be little short of hundred
miles in length. Famine could not fail soon
to fore a surrender in a city containing a
million and half of people. No city of
such magnitude can contain a supply OF
food for more than thirty days.
The hope, therefore, that Paris can save
Fiance Is fallacious. ID 1914 an attempt was
made to defend that city. against the allies
which utterly failed. Let the Prussians but
reach Paris-and they are now but an easy
weeks march of it-and France is gone.

Investments in Confederate Bonds.

We lealn that the decision of Chief Jus.
tice Chase in case lately depending before
him, Head and Others VS.. Tally, admins.
trator) touching investments made by adj
ministrators, guardians, &C., in bonds Of the
late Confederate States, was that where an
administrator purchased such securities di.
rectly from the insuryent gorgnment, though
one of its officers, with the funds of his
beneficiary, he must be held responsible f,r
the amount so invested. Such q transaction,
directly furnishing money to the insurgents
to carry on the war against the United
. States, could not be recognized by the courts
of the United States. ~,
The Chief Justice intimatcd no opinion
as to what would be the law in case pcr.
son acting in a fiduciary capacity invested
trust funds bona tide in Confederate securi
ties, purchased, not from the Confederate
government, but in open market, without
any intent to aid the rebellion.
We make this explanation because the
simple announcement of the decision of
Chief Justice Chase, in the case of Head VS..
Tally, Admir-, might cause the souls of adj
ministrators, &C., acting as such during the
late war, quake within them.
