James Gordon Bennett.

This distinguished Journalist was born
at New Mill Keith in Scotland, i'll the year
1875, and was educated for the priesthood
at Roman Catholic Seminary at Aberdeen
but did not follow out the intentions OF his
parents.
He came to America in the year 1873
and attempted to earn his living as a
teacher, but met with very poor success.
In 1922 he obtained a position on Char
lesion newspaper. Abandoning this posi-
ton, after short while he repaired to the
City of New York, where he became an
active and prominent member OF the Press
of that city. The first number OF the
New YORK HERALD, of which he was
the founder, appeared on the 9th May,
1885. AS the Editor in-chief and proprle
tor of this WOrld-renoWned paper, Mi
BENNETT made both fortune and reputa-
ton. He was a man Of great ability, pen
etration and judgment, and possessed IN
wonderful degree a spirit Of Journalistic
enterprise.
He died on yesterday. His lunera
ceremonies will doubtless be on gran1
scale and of an imposing character.

during the IIolden-Kirk war, and was a
supporter of Holden and his administration.
Toe lav he is the nominee of a party that
avows it to be its public duty to support
Hohien and his administration. To-day he
is in favor of suspension OF the writ OF
Hnbcns Co,'pus, whereby the rule OF the
bavonet may execute the mandates OF
himself and his master GRANT.
But Caldwell is not only Il bayonct-rule
man, but he is thoroughly reckless and eN-
travagant in the expenditure OF the people
money. The act of the Radical LcGiSla-
ture. appropriating seven millions OF dol
lars for the construction of the Western
North Carolina Railroad, and that ratified
the transactions of the Western Division
of Swepson's road was, it is proved by
the plainest testimony, CaldwelFs own
work, and became a law mainly through
his influence while he was the presiding
officer of the Senate. BY one single bill,
by single dash of his pen, as it were, he
induced his radical friends in the Legis-
latlre to suuander seven millions of dollars
Of the peoples money. And this is the
man who seeks to be Governor of the
people of North Carolina.
But this is not all.
Caldwell is not satisfied with having
been thus instrumental in fixing this
burden of debt upon the people and in
making the law so that Littlefield and
Swepson could steal it all. The opportu-
nifty being thus given to them, Littloheld
and Swepson did steal all the bonds, and
now, when because they were stolen the
people seek to amend their Constitution SO
that they may avoid paying the interest
thereon, Caldwell fights against the amend
ment and says the bill ought not to pass
Common decency ought to- teach him
| that having brought all this evil upon the
| State he ought to assist in aVerting its dire

| cal party seem to act upon the idea that
having contracted the debt they ought tc
see to its payment, and therefore they
oppose the bill for Constitutional reform
now before the people. There could no

own pockets. The honest, property-hold
ing, tax-paying people Of the State do no
propose, however, to waste their substance
in paying debts that they did not contrac
and from which they have received no bene
fit directly or Indirectly. Let Abbott, ant
Latin, and Rich and Estes and the res
of them pay their own debt. Never before

Judge kSOIsGi.

spectacle in The eyes of Northern men,
10Th friends and enemies, The inycsti-
cations Of the Committee On Southern Out
RACES brought TO light a series Of olltrages
at the South unparalleled i'll the history of

-nittee, it turns out that the Outrages were
committed Ivy Radicals upon Southern
people.
Among the individuals Who have grown
INTO unenviable notoriety during the VEN
iiation Of Southern outrages, Hugh Len

Court, stands prominently conspicuous,
IS well for native talent in rascalty as for
the fidelity with which he adheres to his in

-o.' e. Caldwell and the Campaign Is

1t has rarely If ever happened, we ven
ture to say, i'll this or any other State, that
so many issues OF such grave importance
have been crowded into one campaign as
those which are now presented TO the peO-
pie OF North Carolina. Seldom has it hap
pened that tie lines between contending
parties have been so distinctly drawn, so
well defined, as they are in the present
campaign.
Never before has it happened, we venture
to say, in the history of this State or any
other State, that a party asking the people
for their sutlrages has dared, in the same
breath, to advocate the rule of the bayo-
net, to oppose economy in the administra-
ton of the government, and to oppose adj
mitted necessary Constitutional Reform
This, however, is the spectacle we behold
to-day. And upon all these issues the Rad
ical party and its candidates are in thor
ough accord. From Tod. r. Caldwell, the
candidate for Governor, to the humblest
man seeking the humblest office, we
find Radicals working for the same ends. If
there be, however, any one candidate more
prominent than another in his support of the
rule of the bayonet, in his completely with
the eNtravagant, reckless expenditure of
the peoples hard earned money and in his
opposition to necessary Constitutional Re

the contrary, the people of The States of Ten
nessce and Missouri before that time voted by
large maioriics against secession, and i'll IL .
States of NeTth Carolina and Virginia. Conyen-
tions were called and were in session when
some of the events hereinafter referred to took
pa.e,and these bodies were known TO, be on
posed to the revolutionary movements in South
Carolina and the six States bordering on the
GulfOf Mexico
SO far Us concerns ihe statement in re-
gard TO the North Caroline Convention, it
is sufficient 10 say that i is a well known
matter Of record that the Convention met
on the Goth Of May, 1861, and unanimously
passed the Ordinance Of Secession on the
first day of its session. Why there should
be this persistent Justification Of tie record
III reference to the State of North Carolina
1t is dlf1lcult to say, unless it was the pur-
pose Of the American Government to de-
prlve Great Britain Of any benefit that
might arise from the plea, before the Tri-
| bunal Of Arbitration, that she had only
recognized "a belligerent Government
formed by sovereign States, acting in their
| sovereign capacity, and not a pretended
Government. set up by individuals in re-
bellion against lawful authority.
First, we have the direct assertion that
Representatives from the State of North
CdIollHd TOOK part IN forming the Con
| federate Government before any Ordinance
OF Secession from the Federal Union
was adopted. Next, we have the attempt
to corroborate and sustain this direct false
hood by an inference equally false.
| This view of the case is sustained by tile
attempt to bring home to the British Gov
| eminent the knowledge of all these occur
renceS, to be found on page %, in the fol
! lowing words:
| CAN the facts above referred to in this paper
were patent to the whole world, were Ostenta
| tlOusly put forth by the insurgents and were
openly commented upon by the public pres
| throughout the United States. 1t is therefor,
! not unreasonable to presume that the British
| Government received from the representative
and agents in the United States full information
| concerning them as they took place. o sup
! pose the contrary would be to ignore the wei
| known fidelity OF those officers
a case thus sought to be propped up b,
1alsehood deserves to fall to the grOuno
and to involve its supporters in its ruin ant
