History of North Carolin"-ssOSernO
Graham.


The Elizabeth City Economist recently
unfinished q capital article upon the lmpQr-
lance of having a complete history OF North
Carolina. and designating Governor Ora
HAM as peculiarly fitted to be the Hlsto-
rian.
Tho Southern Home, General d. IL. Hlls
n.nar warmly endorsed the article, Out
axnressed the fear that engrosslng profess
s;onaI duties would prevent Governor Ora
y., from undertaking the task. The
EcSnonaist, however, will not hsten,
even, to the suggestion of the possibility Loi
q refusal on the part of Governor GRAHAM
tn undertake the work, and reneWs the de-
mand in the following emphatic terms
We regret our distinguished contempt
rary suggested the pressure OF uoEeln ~,
Graham's professional engagements '1S az
owe 100 for his not undertaking tins WORK.
II ia the duty of the Press of North caro-
lima TO urge this labor upon Governor Ora
ham. We regard this matter so important
that while we would like for Governor
Graham to wear fine linen and fare SUM-
uoDslv every day we would rather nc
ehonld he reduced to two meals Gay anu
wear his ante-bellum coat imam Inat
this natriotic work should be lett unoohe'
Brethren of the North Carolina Press' IL Is
your duty to demand this labor OF Tower
nor Graham. Sons and daughters Oh Noi u
Carolina. Governor Graham owes us tnls
daht and he must not put off its payment.
Confederate dead! he owes it to you to
bring the History of North Carolina
down to the close of the war between the
States. The case admits no delay anu no
excnse Cover Graham cannot be alloWeu
tn 90 hence and be seen no more DeIoIe
he discharges this patriotic and maj ducy'
He is able to do it. The State calls on MIN
to do il. The dead past calls on him to 90
il. posterity calls on him to do it, the living
nresent. whose cheeks tingl with shame at
the long neglect, demand it OF him.
The JOURNAL takes this opportunity to
Mace upon record it's entire approval OF
what the Economist has SO well said.
No people have right to be prouder
of the record of their State than have the
people of North Carolina ; no State has
ever been richer in material from which 10
make I'D her record, nor has any State,
from generation to generation, had men
better able to clothe, in fitting language,
the story of her honorable deeds, yet the
work. though often begun, has never been
completed.
HAWKS, SWAIN and GRAHAM are asso-
ciated names that every North Carolinlar
invoiuntarily recalls when he dwells upon
the Historic Past of his State.
When HAWKS died, in the very fruition
of his lifelong labors, we devoutly hoped
that SWAIN would complete the pious work
But it was not decreed SO to be, for death
soon claimed the second Of the Illus
trious trio.
GRAHAM still survives, strong AND
vigorous in mind and body, and the great
work of making up the glorious record OF
North Carolina is still unfinished.
We shall be 10th to believe that Governor
GRAHAM will refuse to perform the duty
so imperatively demanded of him by the
voice of the people, and seemingly st
plainly devolved upon him by the act Of
Heaven.

Governor. Still Price won't do. Nor will
any other negro do better.
: And why? The reason is plain. Fifteen
thousand of the twenty thousand Whte
Radical voters are in the Middle anu
Western sections of the State, where there
are few or no negroes. A large portion OF
these white Radicals acM not cote for a.
r,eqro, and the party leaders DARE NOT
NOMINATE ONE.
In South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana
and Mississippi we hear of negro Lieuten-
ant Governors, negro Judges, negro
Speakers, negro congressman; but IN
North Carolina the highest place to when
the prescribed race is permitted to look Is
the Legislative Halls or the MasiStra1es
Bench:
Even these positions are doled out to
them very sparingly. The eighty thousand
negro voters in North Carolina were rep
resented in the last Legislature by three
Senators and about a dozen members OF
the House. In New Hanover, where the
neoroes are THREE THOUSAND of the
tb;rt,t-fre hundred Radical votes cast, one
Of the race cannot be elected Sheriff, even
when endorsed by the nomination OF the
convention of the party, although each
voter has been sworn in secret leagues to
support the regular nominee. Already we
hear the mutterings of discomfort. The
colored voters claim this office, but three
white aspirants are digesting plans to
grasp the prize, and one or the other VIII
secure it.
We do not know how far Price may be
sstickled - by the use OF his name In con-
nection with the candidacy for Lieutenant
Governor. He is too sensible to be fooled
by such shallow tomfoolery. He knows
he cannot get the nomination, and that he
conld not be elected if nominated. Gov
ernor Caldwell and Judge Settle like the
negroes votes well enough, but they do not
like. nor will they tolerate, their compan-
ionship upon the State ticket. Let frlce
and MADISON stick to New Hanover. Brog-
den and Rutherford will aspire to be
Lieutenant Governor and member OF Con-
gress. As long as these negro tavorltes
seek small honors from the votes OF
their race in New Hanover, they can sue
coed. But Western white Radicals will
| not vote for negro. The white Radicals Of
| Crulford, Mecklenburg, Buncombe, Burke
and the forty or fifty counties west of Raj
eigh, giving in the aggregate many thou
! sands Conservative majority, will out
weigh, i'll the nominating Convention
New Hanover, Craven, Halifax, Edge
combe, BERTHE, Warren, and few more
negro counties, in which Radical success
must be achieved, if achieved at all. This
may be disagreable necessity, but the
negro Radicals must accept the situation
Let them continue to vote faithfully
''early and often" and probably IN
generation or two, the white Radltals may
be educated to accept fully the 'man ant

equal Let them watch and wait"

Beautiful Child.

Beautiful child, by thy mothers knee,
In the mystic future what wilt thou be?
demon OF sin, or an angel sublime?
poisonous uFas, or innocent thyme?
A spirit of evil flashing down
With the lurid light OF fiery crown,
Or gliding up with q shining track,
Like the n morning star: that never looks back?
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child?
Beautiful child, in my garden bowers,
FRIEND OF the butterflies, birds and flowers,
Pure as the sparkling, crystalline stream,
Sewels OF truth in thy fairy eyes beam
Worehipped by love in q mortal shrine?
My heart thou hast gladdened for two sweet
years
With rainbows Of hope through mists of
Mists beyond which thy sunny smile,
With its halo OF glory, beams all the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
g!eam serene, not OF earth but Of Heaven.
With thy tel-taie eyes and prattling tongue.
thSu un;S ever thus be young
From stair to hall thy voice is heard.
How oft in the garden-nooks thou'rt found,
with flowers thy curly head around!
And kneeling beside me with figure 30 quaint
On! who would not dote on my infant saint?
Beautiful child, what thy fate shall be.
Perchance is wisely hidden from me.
fallen star thou may'at leave my side
And OF sorrow and shame become the bride
Shiyering. ! quivering. through the cold street,
With q curse before and behind thy feet
Ashamed to live, and afraid to die;
NO home, no friend, and pitiless sky.
Merciful Father. my brain grows Wild
Oh! keep from evil lny beautiful ohild
Beautiful child, may'st thou soar above,
a warbling cherub Of joy and love,
A drop on eternity's mighty sea,
A blossom on ifes immortal tree
Floating, Towering evermore
In the blessed sight Of the golden shore;
And as gaze on thy sinless bloom
And thy radiant face, they dispel my gloom;
feel He will keep thee undefled,
Aud His love protect my beautiful child.
