Public Meeting In BrunsWiek.


A meeting of tho Conservative party of
Brunswick county was called at the Court
House in Smithville, or the evening of the
10th of April. at which time and place O
large and enthusiastic crowd assembled.
The meeting was organized 10y calling
DIR. S. d, Thruston to the Chair and ap-
pointing Rufus Galloway and Jno. IT.
MINIS Secretaries. 81
The Chairman explained tho object of
the meeting in n short and appropriate
discourse, urging the necessity Of thor
ough organization OF The party, and dwelt
with peculiar force on the propriety of
amending our State Constitution and the
absolute necessity of every voter going to
the polls determined TO do his duty in be-
half Ct same.
Ga motion, a Committee of five, from
each township, was appointed, which
should constitute County Executive Com
mittee to serve for one year, and TO meet
as often as the Chairman or a majority of
said Committee should see proper. This
Executive Committee was instructed to ap.
point subcommittee in the respective
townships to attend to the various duties
of their several districts, and report from
time TO time to the County Executive
Committee, and thus render assistance in
more thoroughly organizing the party.
While the Chairman was appointing the
Committee, the meeting was agreeably EN-
tertained in an eloquent and forcible man
ner by Messrs. Marsden Bellamy and
Swift Galloway.
The Chain man then announced the fol-
lowing as the Executive Committee to
serve for one year from this date, viz:

bills were Democratic party bills, and that
it would be treachery to his party for any
Republican to vote for either one of these
bills.
Matters stood in this fix for several days
The Radical press alternated in tauntlng
the Democrats, and in urging upon their
party friends to stand firm. Whatever
may have been the effect Of their taunts,
their appeals at least w're In vair. On
Saturday Mr.. WINANs, (Republican) OF
Catalogue, announced that he would vote
with the Democrats. It is charged that
ho was paid sixty thousand dollars for his
vote. Of course his Republican, colleagues
and the entire party press of the State
have opened their batteries upon him. He
is being denounced by men who would
step into his shoes for hale the money.
We know nothing of the truth or falsity
of the charge. We sec that during the
present week oil of the bills which the Re
publican caucus had desired to defeat have
been passed.

Re-re-re recon structIon

Mr.. Roosevelt carries his humor to Con
gress and tells the revolutionists a little
story:
The Republicans themselves seem lit
tie dissatisfied with their own work. No
sooner had they reconstructed the South
than they set TO work to reconstruct it over
again. When they had reconstructed it
over again they did not like it much more
than when they had done it first, and
therefore they reconstructed it once more
And this bill is to reconstruct 1t for the
fourth or fifth time. The course of the
Republican party in this respect reminds
me of Prince Paul in the French opera OF
the 50 Grande'Duchesse. When the prime
minister of his highness came to the duch-
ess and proposed his hand III marriage he
was invited TO walk up stairs. then along a
corridor, then down stairs, then along
other corridors up moro stairs, along
more corridors; down further stairs, along
further corridors, up further stairs or, as
the French has it: III mOntcra, il avancera.
il descendera alors il re-remontera, il
re-rcevanccra, il re -redescendera alors ii
re rom Ontera, il re-reavancera. il re-redes
cendera GlOrs il re re -remontera, and SO
forth. That is just about the way it il
with reconstruction. We first had con
struction then reconstruction /; then re
construction ; then re-re reconstruction
and this bill is re>re-re-reconstruction

Our readers may lave noticed that there
has been for few days ''dead lock" in
the New York Legislature, and that the
Radical ring has been broken, and the
blocked machinery of legislation set in
motion again.
The circumstances were briefly as fol-
lows: The Democrats bad just msiority
of the whole House of Representatives,
and a Mr.. IRVING (Democrat) resigned in
consequence of personal difficulty with a
Mr.. WEED. The State Constitution re-
quires majority of the whole number of
representatives-elect to pass q bill. The
Republicans seized the opportunity of the
resignation of IRVING to meet in caucus
and exact pledge from each of their
party not to betrsy the party, and they,
furthermore, resolved that certain named

A Deserved TrIbute

The Saturday Re0ie1O, the most scholarly
and discerning of the English weeklies, in
noticing memoir of the late General J..
Johnston Pettigrew, of South Carolina,
pays the following we'll deserved tribute
to the integrity and motives of the Con-
federate leaders
ga brief, touching, sensible, and manly
memoir of General Pettigrew, one of the
many brave and distinguished Southern
ers who fell in the service of the Confed-
eracy, is not only becoming monument
of a good and honorable life prematurely
cut short, but serviceable illustration Of
the general character of the Southern mill
tary leaders-of the spirit and temper in
which the 'slave-owning oligarchy' really
entered into the war. No one who has
read or heard enough of the character Of
the Confederate Government and staff to
know how largely both were composed of
such men as Lee. Jackson and Pettigrew-
men of the highest moral character. OF
pure and simple piety, whose course only
the bltterest party malice can ascrlbe to
any other motive than a profound sense of
duty-can doubt that from first TO last the
Southern people firmly, devontly, and
even dispassionately, believed in the just
ice of their cause, and, in taking up arms
for the State against the Union, conceived
that they were acting In obedience to the
law as well as in defense Of the right. 10
talk of q, scauseless and wicked rebellion IS
possible only to those who will not or do
not know what manner of men the rebel
leaders were and there must be some
.s.:,lg wrong about the heart or intellect
of the man who, having read this short
and simple record Of the life of one who
was an active participation in the events
which led TO secession, and an active SOL
der in the war which followed it, can re-
peat that party shibboleth without sense
of conjunction and self-distrust."

The Wrong Man in the wrong Place.

We don't think that the elevation of
Pool to a seat in the United States Senate
has covered North Carolina with a food
of glory, or himself either. His career in
that body has certainly not been distin-
guished by useful service to his State or
to the country. In short we think that
Mr.. Pool is about as Indifferent speci :
men of public servant, in the true sense
of the phrase, as ever figured in that ca
pacity.
The New York Democrat it seems,
has been searching tho records of the
Committee appointed by the Legisla-
ture Of North Carolina, to investigate
the outrages of Holden, and has found
there documentary evidence showing
that Pool was not a whit beyond Holden
in the peculiar views which he held of po-
pular rights and Of official responsibility.
He was one of the ex- Governors encour-
ayers in the work for which he (Holden)
was subsequently impeached and pun
ished
Pool, Ames, and Brownlow What o
noble trio of Senators, all sitting side by
side in the National Capitol What beau
tiful exemplfcations are they of fidelity to
public trusts ! What charming opponents
of the representative principle as it is

when the idea struck him to direct il into

A worse story is told of law student in
