Tribute to sOuthern Honesty and Honor
The Nashville correspondent of the Gin.
clnnati Commercial, In alluding to the
possible nomination of Horace Greeley,
pays the following compliment to the
Southern people
Greeley's honesty, his indisputable hon
esty, would give him strength in the South.
l mean the honesty that would shrink from
even taking q gilt, in consideration of be-
slowing an Office. The Southern people
loathe man who uses public Office to
enrich himself. Whatever may be their
faults, they are honest. They do not wor-
ship the almighty dollar to the extent of
barteriDg away their honor for it, The old
Southern fre-eating Democrats we are
taught were wicked men, and wicked they
were about some things, but they did not
use their Offices to fill their pockets. They
did not form rings to make money or
establish gift enterprises. This old fash
Toned honesty, this adherence of any,
thing that looks like prostituting public Of
flee to private gain. is as abhorrent to the
Southern people now as it ever was, and
probably more, for they have been called
upon since the war to have considerable
experience with that sort of thing, and to
know it not to love it, especially when il
Is done at their expense. For the past six
years the Southern States have been con-
verted into an arena of robbery, present
ing spectacle of fraud and corruption
perhaps unexampled in the history of the
world; yet Southern-born men have had
little 10 do with it. Your true Southerner,
1t he has sense enough to get an Office, has
too much honor to steal. La all my expo
rience, as correspondent of the CONNER
cial, in the different Southern States, I
have found the worst thieves, the most
insatiate robbers, to be Northern men.
There has been more stolen in South Caro-
lima. or in Louisiana, since the war, than
in all the Southern States put together
from the Revolution to 1860.

Constructive Consp:r.cy.

Mr.. S. L. Phillips. the paid auxiliary of
the ponderOus Starbuck in the " ku Klux 4"
trials, has enunciated doctrines that are
not less marked by moral and political
recklessness than by legal extravaganza
and absurdity. The virtual declaration
that an assault upon the Republican party
is an attack upon the government is an
instance o. the former while the later
assumption that member of the so called
Ku-Klux Khan, in one county, is cODstrnc
lively guilty of an outrage perpetrated by
members in another and distant county,
though he my have had no actual parti
oipation in, Or knowledge of it, is fla
grant example of the latter. Mr. Phillips
is driven to desperation by the conscious
ness, which any man, raised as he has
been. must feel, Of the disreputable posi-,
ton he occupies. Like the mad bull of
the Torso, he rushes blindly and furiously
at every object.
1t is bad rule that will not work both
ways. Mr.. Phillips. for aught we know,
may be member of the League. If not,
many of the most prominent of his present
friends and allies are. COnS!yuctiUely,
therefore, he, or they, as the case may be,
are guilty of tie incendiarism committed
in various portions OF the State by order
of the League, or by members Of the
League, and should be punished accord

DEAR SIR have received Your Official
announcement that the Convention u9rr
which you recently presided at Spring
field, selected mo as their candidate fof
Governor. l feel very scnsIbly such
token OF the confidence Of large number
of my fellow citizens, and l gratefully accept
the honor. It is unnecessary for me at
this day to rehearSe to my friends in Mas
sachusetts my opinions upon public affairs,
especially as they were substantially epitO-
mixed in the resolves adopted 10y the Con
vention. They have undergone 10 recent
change. Now, as formerly, / thinl it vie
to use calm and moderate methods in deaf
ing with questions OF state, to adhere
scrupulousiy to constitutional forms in Ca
forcing the will Of the people, and To
make haste slowly with revolutionary re
forms. But l may be pardoncd if, IL view
of hesitation which fingers here ana
there, / declare my especial satisfaction 81
the position adopted by the Convention III
respect to the later Amendments TO ino
Constitution of the United States. am
heartily glad to 500 good citizens who
have disputed the plan of adjustment re-
quired by the party in power 50 long as 1t
was debatable, acquiesc9 cheeffuly when
once it has become irreyocab!c.
It seems to n1e to be the part Of patriot
ism now to accept honestly and without
mental reservation those Amendments e.
the final settlement and paciticati0n OF tAt
civil war, and then to turn resoIuteiy away
from tie irritating and painful memories
of the past to tho pressing duties OF ill3
future. That future, If we wisely improve
it, may be made to redeem, and mo.e than
redeem, all the snffrTipgs and all the error"
of the past. 1t may warn US to guard
jealousy the invaluable habit Of local sell
governments, while we yield to the IRE
sistable instincts of national unity. lt
may teach us to alleviate oppressive taxa
ton by economy aud skill IN fiscal man
agement, so that tariff may no longer
strangle trade. Universal amnesty ana
equal rights may once again demonstrate
to the word that tho peopleat their homes
may be trusted to preserve the peace and
maintain the principles Of liberty without
soldiers to mako them afraid. And above
all, a kindly and considerato policy TO
wards vanquished citizens may make us
again a ! I,s porous and happy people,
cordially united in = friendship based upon
mutual esteem and Coz ..ted by Identical
interests.

is alleged that Brady, while under the in
fuence of Liquor. went to Locklears house
and demanded that he show him the way
to the house of one of the Lowrey gang.
This Locklear attempted to do, and, while
walking in advance of Brady. was shot
and killed. The soldier, it is said, then
proceeded to the house of another colored
man and made the same demand. He, too,
walked in advance of the soldier, who
cooked bis gun 10 shoot him, but, hearing
the click Of the lcck, he broke and ran
into the woods, thus saving his life. The
report Of the gun, when Locklear was
killed, was distinctly heard at the camp of
the soldiers.
On Sunday some of Locklear's family
came INTO the camp and made complaint
to the commanding officer, who took the
matter in hand, when Brady was reeog-
nized by them as being the party who left
the house with Locklear. An examination
was had. which resulted in Brady being
taken to Lumberton on Monday. and
committed to Jail.

freight ready on our wharves. These YES
sells swell mp the numbers of the 'many
little craft that are fitting ia and out the

Besides the many steamers and coasting
vessels dispatched from this Port within
the last two months, we will name the

Bark Victoria, Perez, for Grenada; Br. Brig

Br. Bark Thermutis, for Liverpool; Br.
Brig Anna. forAmsterdam; Be-. Brig Gold

London.
Besides these, there are now due and
loading for foreign ports, four Barqaes,
nine Briggs, one Schooner-all foreign
vessels.
We also notice that for tile same time
our exports have been as follows: Cotton,
1,737 bales; Crude Turpentine. 1904 bbls
Spirits, 81, 437 bbls; Rosin, 90 ,692 bbls;
Tar, 3, $50 bbls; Lumber, 3, 965, 900 feet.
This does not include the enormous
quantity taken away by the Railroads, and
by smaller craft. Thousands of barrels OF
naval stores have been carried on to Nor tn
ern and Western markets by rail, and
nearly all of the cotton goes that way.
Ours is acknowledged to be the best
corn market in the South, and we supply
the world with naval s'oree. The actual
statistics show that the health of the city
will compare favorably with that of any
seaboard or inland Southern city, and,
Notwithstanding the disastrous effects Of
the war, our population has increased
more than so per cent during the lest
decade.
The Courier sneers and the JOURNAL
replies with facts and figures. We invite
the Courier to full and free discussion of
facts, substantiated by figures, for only on
such can a genuine argument be based

In profundity of thought, in perception
of vital political truths, in clearness OF
statement and in felicity Of dection, the
recent speech of the Hon. WILLIAM S.
GRoEsBEcK, Of Ohio, delivered before a
mass meeting of the Democracy of Steu
benville, was one of the finest efforts that
the times have elected. It stamps
that gentleman as wise statesman and an
eloquent constitutional lawyer.
After regreting the spirit of unfairnesa
and domination in which the late amend
ments to the Constitution were adopted,
and the tendency to encroachment upon
State sovereignty manifested in them, be

Absolutism. There is your danger, and
there is 10 be your struggle"
Never were trner words uttered. If the
early fathers, who fondly hoped that they
were laying the sure foundation OF last

upon the work of their hands in its pre-

would never recognize or own it. Inhe-
