tained 1t states facts, whether right OF
wrong, which have marked every era i'll
history. Men will combine for mutual pro-
lection. or worse-will act upon their OWL
Individual volition and judgment, and
strike to redress wrongs which corrupt and
timid officers viii not correct. Men will
not see their property given up to lncen-
diaries, their daughters subjected to the
violence of ravishers, and their lives at the
mercy of midnight assassins, without an
effort to protect themselves, when their
iudces and prosecuting officers are notorl-
ously in completely with the criminals
There nlust be and there will be some re-
sort in the hour of danger. Self-protectlon
is the first law of nature.
We ask any just man, we care not what
may be his sympathies or his political ooln-
ions, to read the sworn testimony OF
Mr.. SCHENCK, and say if there was not
some excuse for men who suffered as these
men did-whose only legal protection was
through laws administered by such judge.
We shall always and have always con-
damned violations Ofthe law. But-f ever
a people were excusable for resort to
violence, it was these people of the South,
whose only protection was dependence
upon civil officers notoriously corrupt and
in completely with criminals.
When the civilized world fully appreci-
ates the real condition of the Southern
people and learns all that they have suf-
fprcd. much which is now condemned and
denounced will be viewed with fOrbearance,
at least. After the political uses to which our
suf1erings have contributed, have been sub
served, then and not until then, will the
true account Of reconstruction be written.
1t will record a chapter of crimes with
hardly a parallel in the history OF the world.
Wilmington journal., 1872-01-05

We thought it could hardly be possible
tcrs to important official positions under the
present administration to be altogether Il
matter Of chance. We do not refer to those
who have proved deraultcrs after their APP
pointment, for their name is legion. We
alIude TO those who, prior to their appoint
ments, were notorious tlefilutcrs, having been
dismissed from the service Of corporations
for their crimes. The sequel proves that
our coniec urcs are we'll founded. The
reason is now apparent . \ fellow feeling
makes us WondTous kind"
During the last few days we have had to
record thc appointment Of one Thomas ID.
Long, of Salisbury, rs Il Special POstotfice
Agent for North Carolina, and the promo
tom ofone Benjamin Durfce, Of Whining
ton, to Il clorkship in the Third Auditors
office.
Both OF these men are defaulters, and
both We're dismissed III disgrace from their
positions for their tlietts. Long was the
Agent OF the North Carolina Railroad at
Ns
Of the City Of Wilmington. We know not
What influences brought about the appoint
ment Of Long, but General Rutherford,
who must have consented to, if he did not
suggest the appointment Of Durtee, that he
had been detected in his pilferings from the
City Treasury, and escaped punishment
through the relnaT} }able Indulgence of Mayor
Martin and a partisan Board OF Aldermen,
and most singIIl0r dereliction Oh duty up
on the part OF the Grand Juries.
Rogers, the Postmaster of Raleigh, was,
prior to his appointment, defaulter
as agent Of the North Carolina Railroad.
So it seems that such official &hortcont-
iRgs is recommendation to oflicc-cspc-
cialiy TO such offices us have control of
government funds, or are for the detection
of official thieves.
We refer our readers % an article pub
lshcd elsewhere, from the Washington
Patriot, giving the positive proofs that
President Grant is himself Il detlulter.
His paitiality for such characters can thus
be accounted for.
Between the detaultcIs, which govern
ment corruption has created, and those
which. tie administration is picking up
through the country for appointment and
promotion, we shall soon have every Office
and pos uion filed with them. AVell may
Republican Senators proclaim, in the SEN
ate of the United States, that our civil ser
vice is The most cOrl1Ipt in the world.

HARMONY.

The love OF order, which is but another
nlme for harmony, is instructive in human
nature. There is an innate beauty in il
that appeals irrcsistibly to every cultivated
and uncultivated mind. In all aces men
have dwelt upon it with rapture.
In spite Of its admitted beauty and cy-
celencc, however, in spite of the universal
admiration given to if, common experience
proves that it by no means universally pre-
walls, and that in this, as in other matters,
men "lnOw the right yet the wrong
pursue" This is cminently a world of
checks and balances in word-of COM
pensations. IIarmOny-univcrsal halmo-
ny-is so enchanting, SO beautiful, nideal.
that were there no compensating good at
tending violation Of it, poor human ma
ture would oft suffer grievously and use

rose without its thorn, there is scarcely anv
thorn without its rose, though it may be
called by some other name, and though we

RRaf GrRM1.

There is a very excellent feeling, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, pervadinS the masses
of the Democratic party on the subject OF
the nomination of the next Presldent.-
There is no effort among the friends OF any
of the gentlemen who have been mentioned
in connection with the nomination to at
tempt to pack the Convention in the inter
ests OF any of the candidates The gen
eral idea is to make all reasonable cOnces-
sions, to waive prejudice and personal
friendships, if they in the least conflict
with the success which is so generally de
at all costs or hazards. Never before was
there a Convention where the delegates
were so little influenced by previous COM
initials as they will be in the coming Dem
ocratic Convention. They will be elected
to make a comparison of views and to unite
upon that laan who, qualified for the sta
ton, can obtain the most votes. Those
who deem it cXpedient to nominate any OF
our well known Democratic statesmen who
have more or less been active in the politi-
cal contests Of the past are, so faI as we
can judge, very few. 1t is tho alR1ost uni
versal impression that some combination
should be formed with those Republicans
who are hostile to Grant. The only diff
Guilty is as to the manner in which It can
bc effected. We think the best plan would
be for the leading anti-Grant Republi-
cans to call Il meeting at the same time and
place that the Democratic Convention will
be held, and then communicate with the
latter body through a Committee of Con-
ference. 1t is worthy Of thought also
whether it would not be eXpedient to follow
the example set us by the Wing opposition
to Martin Van Blren in 1890, who held
their National Convention with closed
doors, i'll secret session. There can be
much more freedom of consultation where
it Is done within the view and hearing only
Of those who are engaged in it and respon-
sible for its results. Speeches are then
made not to the galleries or outside public,
but to the delegates. A nomination that
would have the assent of both wings of the
opposition, which was not numbered with
Il questionable platform, would be sure to
succeed. 1t will probably be deemed best
to have no platform at all, except that
which calls for change in the Federal
Constitution. The first thing that is in
order is to turn on the present corrupt aud
disreputable regime. That accomplished,
its friends in Congress and among the pe9z
pie would be able, beyond doubt, to agree
upon platform and ticket acceptable to
both wings of the opposition.

may not be able with our bleeding fingers
to pluck it.
We do not propose, however, to mora
lie or to sermonize generally this morning,
but only to direct the attention OF orr
readers to one single point.
We recognize fully the beauty and excel
lence of harmony, yet not more fully than
we recognize the doctrine of cOmpensa-
tions, but if we were to write week we
could not express our o idea more clearly
than is done in the old adage that declares
that. when rogues fall out honest men get
their dues" The wisdom and experience
of centuries are embodied in this short say
ing. The beauty of harmony in the abb
stract is fully admitted, yet the cOmpen-
sating good coming from its violation IS
also fully admitted.
As truthful journalists, it becomes our
duty to announce to our readers that the
great law OF harmony is now being hourly
violated by the Radical party.
The fact is so palpa5le and SO pregnant
with momentous consequences, that we
would not, if we co;ld, and could not if we
would, conceal it from our readers.
There is said to be a silver lining to
every cloud. TO the dark cloud Of discord
settling down on the Radical host, is there
any silver lining that promises to compen-
safe us Of the Democracy?
We have been watching with painful in
terest this cloud, at first "nO ligger than a
mans hand" but now coTers almost the
entire political horizon Of our enemies.
We now have hope that Their dissen1iOns
and divisions are irreconcilable, and we
base our opinion, not SO much upon any
particular faith in the superior wisdom or
integrity or sense of justice in either fac
ton OF the Radical party, as i'll the belief
that these dissanSions spring from the
claims of rival leaders to gain and keep
control Of their party, in order to advance
their own ambitious desires.
The factions are now, nominally, Grant
and anti Grant. But We have no idea that
Senator MOETOE would hesitate for mo-
mcnt to oppose, or Senator SCHURZ to sup
port Gen. GRANT, if by such a change the
| control Of the Republican party could be
| kept or secured It is simply and purely a
| foht l0Y the spoiIs-E' the lion and the uni
| corn fighting for the crown" The point OF
| interest to us OF the opposition, IS this
Both cr these factions cannot win. The
public patronage, vast as it is, is not large
| enough to give every Ithdical an office. 1t
| follows then that the faction that loses i'll
the ii.M for the control Of the party organ
| izatiun must abandon all hope of spOils, OF
must join with the opposition forces, to
wit :-tIIc Democrats, and form Il new line
| Of battle.
Ii will take time to accomplish this. 1t
is now the only hope of the people of the
South to regain the protection Of just laws
and Of he Constitution, as it is the only
hope ofthc vanqiished faction ofthe Radical
party to gain q share Of the public plunder.
In such an emergency the policy of the
Democratic party, both North and South is
Il plain one. We must hold ourselves ready
at the right moment and in the right way
to take advantage OF the disScnSiOnS among
our enemies, ever bearing i'll mind that

Cape Fear Agricu1fuxaI Associatio,


We understand that last year there was
some complaint upon the part of farmers,
probably with much foundation, that the
Premiums offered for Field Crops were an
noUmced too late. The Executive Commit
tee of the Cape Fear Agricultural A>socia-
ton are determined that the present year
there shall be no cause OF complaint Oh this
score.
Elsewhere, in tO-day's issue, will be
found the ..ery liberal Premium List
offered by the Association tqr Field Crops,
to he competed for at their Foullll Annual
Fair next Fall. The List includes the very
attractive Special Premiums offered by the
Navassa GuanO Company, of Wilmington,
and the Carolina Fertilizer Company, of
Charleston, through their Agents, Messrs
DeROsset 81 Co., of this city.
We learn that the full Premium List will
be issued during the Winter or very early
i'll the Spring, and that it vial lia yory lib
eral, including even greater number of

housewife who makes and exhibits the
best and largest number of articles i'm the
Household Department.
We trust our people generally will appre-
ciate the exceeding liberality of the Premi-
ums offered by this Association for the ell
couragement OF Agriculture and the Mec!lan-
ic Arts. The Association was organized
to promote the industrial enterprises OF this
section. Ii Is TO bo expected that there will
be some complaints, and just ONES, in the
management of the affairs of the Associa-
ton. There is Il vast amount Of work and
thought necessary to carry oh its opera
tions. Those who have it in charge are
busily engaged in their own business. The
Assoc alton, unfortunately, is not III a con-
dition 40 pay salaries which would conf
mand the proper officers 70 2ttend to its
affairs altogether, and but few men in ille
South are able to neglect their own busi-
ness without compensation.
But we have found that those who com
plain most are those who do not exhibit,
or contribute in amy Way 10 thc success of
the Association,
The officers are determined that every
lnducement shall be offered within their
power TO attract the greatest rivalry he
tween all classes of our people Every in
duStly shall he encouraged, and we Shall
expect that the Fair of 1872 will he far
ahead Of all its predecessors
