els." There was no Radical Indignation
then.
We cannot forget that the Radical party
issued formal address,. seeking by the
basest appeals to the basest passions of the
negroes to excite in them feelings of envy,
hatred and malice toward the whites. We
cannot forget men who used such words
as these;
g Did it ever occur to you, ye gentlemen
of education, property and character, to
you, ye men and especially We women, who
never received anything from these colored
people but services, kindness and protec-
tion-did it never occur to you that these
same people, who are so very bad, will not
be willing to sleep in the cold, when your
houses are denied them, merely because
they will not vote as you do? That they
may not be willing to starve, while they
are willing to work for bread Did it
never occur to you that revenge, which is
so sweet to you, may be as sweet to them
Hear us, if nothing else you will hear, did
it never occur to you that if you kill their
children with hunger they viii kill your
children with fear? Did it never occur to
you that if you good people maliciously
determine that they shall have no shelter,
they may determine that you shall have no
Sheltera
but now, when the shelter has been actually
taken from Mr.. Turner, and the bread from
his children, the Radicals say they are
not responsible for it But they cannot
escape their responsibility for all that.
They may denounce the destruction Of the
Sentinel Office, but they are Radicals for all
that.
Indeed they seem already incline d
to abandon the virtuous dodge. The cry
now is that there was no outrage at all,
save that committed by Mr.. Turner him
self. The Raleigh Era, in its last issue,
says that it is the opinion of ga large ma
joritY of che citizens of the city, of all poll
tical parties, that Mr.. Turner himself de-
stroyed the Sentinel office, or procured it
to be donew
What nice lot of people these Radicals
are. Ulysses Grant is their head and
master. He asks you, North Carolinians,
TO vote for him. Will you do it?

The finest specimen ofBmssols lace is SC

The finest specimen of fB1lssols lace is 50
complicated as TO require the labor of seven
persons on oEc p.ece, and each operative is
employed at distinct features softhe work.
The thread used is Of exquisite fincness
which is spun in dark underground rooms
where it is sufficiently moist TO prevent
the thread from separating. 1t is 50 deli
cate as scarcely to be seen, and the room
is so arranged that all the light admitted
shall fall upon the work. 1t is such mate
lial that renders the Brussels ground SO
costly. On piece of Valencienues not
two inches wide, from two hundred to three
hundred bobbins are sometimes used; and
for larger width, as many as eight
hundred on the same piece.

The Climax Aseaeheh.

We thought that the arrest of two police
men in discharge of their duty, the refusing
them hearing, and the ba;ling them in an
exhorbitant bond to appear at Court by the
United States Commissioner was heavy
But the climax of the political campaign of
the Federal judiciary under Grant was
reached, when the Federal soldiers were
brought into Court to over-awe the ac-
cused.
1t was a pitiable spectacle, moekery OF
justice, libel upon our great judicial tri-
bunals, that petty officer like Conley
should drag the bayonet into use to help
him run justice. There w6Tc the packs of
negroes and the accused and their witnes-
ses. Where was the pretext for using sol
diers unless the black element needed re-
straint.
1t is well understood that it was all fixed
up to telegraph for partisan purposes.
And to such base uses does law come
under Grant and Lis TpiDions.

Hard ON the Preacher.
Mr. Editor Of the Journal:

SIR-I want you to say that don't
think it was right in the preacher that mar
ried me the other night for him not to
print my marriage in the JOURNAL, or in
the Star, or in the Post, or in the Biblical
Recorder, or somewhere else.
Il had never known that preacher, and
he had never known that there was any
such persons in the Worl,l as me and my
wife, till did him the honor to go after
him and get him to marry us. He didn't
seem as if he wanted to do it very bad, for
he had some other engagement that night
had to speak somewhere believe; and the
papers all said good deal about what a
fine speech he made that night, but we
didn't keep him waiting more than three
quarters of an hour after the time; and |
do think he ought to have printed the we'd
ding in the JOURNAL or somewhere.
Indeed l think I've been badly treated ;
for though l didn't pay the preacher any
thing for marrying of us, l don't think it
was worth anything much to Lcome and
stay at place three-quarterS OF an hour,
and then say few words and so away
and think he ought to have printed it In
the JOURNAL.
Yours in hopes,
PETER SIMPKINs.

The French authorities have suspended
part of the works at the Mont Gents Tun-
mel, in consequence of an official notice re-
ceived indicating that the French prOp' s
ton to enforce the railway service to ne
line has been submitted to tie G' We"
ment at Rome. The Italian Cover n
has deputed an engineer to remain at Nc
dane and watch the progress of the French
fortifications, constructed so as to COM
mand the French opening of the tunnel.
The new bridge now in course of con-
struction over the Firth Of Tay, in Scot
land, will be the longest bridge in the
world-longer even than the Victoria
bridge, Montreal. The Victoria fridge is
9, 1914 feet long, while the Tay bridge will
be O,321, making difference in favor of
Tay bridge of 1,136 feet. If the Tay
bridge were eighty yards longer, it would
be two miles exactly, and for all intents
and purposes it may therefore be called a
two-mile bridge, and will have ninety
piers and eighty nine spans.
A new manufacturing interest in Balti-
timore is the making of cigars like those

Who was WILLIE JONES
History tells us he was q faithful servant
Of his country in her struggle for independ-
encc from British rule a statesman and
scholar as well He was President Of the
Committee of Safety for the whole State
in 17I6, and thereby virtually Governor of
the State in the interval between the abdi-
cation of Governor Martin, the last of the
Royal Governors, and the accession of
Governor CasWell. lie was a member Of
the Continental Congress that met at
1761. lie was elected q member of the
Convention that formed the Constitution of
the l tnited States but declined to serve.
lie was a member Of the State Convention
that met in IIillsboro i'll 17S8 to consider
the Federal Constitution and as is well
known, through lis influence, that
constitution was rejected, by q vote of ISL
to 81, III spite =" of the learning Of Iredell,
the cloqucnce of Davie and the intellectual
power of Jolnston.' For several years
also he was a member Of the House
of Commons.
Such is Scant record of the long public
life Of WILLIE JONES. And yet the man and
his record are to-day completely forgotten,
and it Is deemed sufficient, in announcing
the death Of his daughter, to tell the world
that cher maiden name was JCnes!'
But it would be- uIgra.eful to our own feel
ings at least, to conclude without bearing
venerable "A ywho death has called forth
these lernar IS. No higher encomium can
be passed upon her, than to say she was as
remarkable for the graces and virtues that
adorn a woman, as maiden, wife and
mother, as her distinguished father was
for those sterner qualities that go to make
up the patriot aud the statesman. 1t was
written Of her many years ago, "she
was one of the loveiiest women OF her
age. She is loved by all who know her.
None see her bat admire her. None know
her but love her." TO the hour of her
death these words bore true record of the
distinguished daughter of one of Cardinals

"Her maiden name was Jones'" In
these few words we find the only
reference to her distinguished parentage,
contained in the obituary notice of the
widow of ANDREW JoYNER, whose death
q few days ago destroyed one of the last
links that bound the olden-tine to the new.

We HEARTILY concur with the Balti-
moro Gazette in thinking that with one or
perhaps two exceptions, every Southern
State will cast its vote for Mr.. Greeley, be
his chances what they lnay; and for this
simple reason, that it was on their account,
for their sake, at their instance almost sup
plication, the Democracy adopted the Gin
cinnati nomination. 1t is in nQ disparage-
ment that We say. what every sensible man
knows, that if left to itself it would have
pursued different course. Whether it
would have been hetter to have done so, is
an idle, useless, mischievous question now.
The Baltimore Convention did not feel
itself free to yield to pure party considera-
tions at such q crisis as confronted them.
1t became absolutely impossible to do so,
when the whole South, without exception,
either of individuals Or States, their desc
lated reconciled breIh1sn, supplicated
then4 to pursue the course of concession,
and nominate Mr.. Greeley. With the fine
instincts of their peculiar nature, as ready
to forgive as to resent, they had jumped to
the right conclusion that his manly, il you
please impulsive, character would gve
them the best guaranty Of peace, and
mercy, and Justice and if they demanded
it as the only boon they sought, why
should the Northern Democracy hesitate :?
1t is simple justice to say it did not, evan
for moment, and tbs hand that was
stretched in earnest intercession or this
point across the chasm was cordially
grasped, and Mr.. Greeley was nominated
because the South wished it.
There can be no faltering now on the
of their honor,

PiOTlS Wilson.

Since the disgraceful exposure about his
Know Nothing record, this sanctiMonlous
hypoclit ite has Kept somewhat in the back
ground. We shall not test the credulity
of our readers by intimating that the Mas
sachusetts Senator i'll thus failing to come
to the FROM was influenced by any sense
of shame, for indeed we think the man is
incapable of such feeling. Our purpose
Just now is to announce the return of the
pious Senator to the field OF active opera
tions. He has again lifted up his voice.
Once more has he turned his eyes to
Heaven, until nothing could be seen OF
them, save the whites. When Wilson
stands up before crowd, throws up his
eyes, and opens his mouth, everybody
knows what is coming, so we'll, that it is
entirely useless to say what it is. Indeed,
if by any accident, the truth should come
out, it would be as curious phenomenon
as "dat ting" or as that other anomaly
that in some sections of the country
the people call misplaced ague and fever"
We were not surprised, therefore, when
wilson, in a recent speech in Cincinnati,
resumed his old trade of villifying and
sandering the people of the South. Per-
haps the only matter for surprise is that
he was able to keep silent so long. And
even that ought not to surprise US, for
Wilson is man of such versatile genius,
that he is equal to any emergency. At
one time he talks; at another time he is
silent. To-day he asserts; tomorrow he
will deny. Indeed, if he has shown any
special aptitude for one form of falsehood
more than another, it is that form which
finds expression in denial. Wilson is
great ON "denying.n We have heard OF

and Autumn of 1S71

This year the neglect of duty has been
even greater than it was last year. Presi-
dent Grant left Washington on the llth of
June, and TOOK up his residence at Long
Branch, where he continued to reside until
the latter part of last month. And the
Cabinet has done but little better. Instead
of attending to their duties, for the sup
posed performance of which they were
drawing near twenty-five dollars a day,
the members Of the Cabinet, generally,
have been engaged in electioneering for
the reelection of General Grant. Twenty
five dollars day, Sundays included, isavery
high price for the people to pay men for
making speeches in favor Of Grant
We have, indeed, fallen upon evil times.
If this sort Of thing shall continue four
years longer, We greatly fear that corrup-
ton will have seized upon the country
with such a strong hold that we will never
be able to shake it off.
Our only hope is in the defeat of Grant
in the coming election.

they knew nothing about ''denying." We

sex had learned to regret their ignorance
in this respect. But Senator Wilson suf-

however, comes not in shape so sim

MARRIAGE LAws-Those who have wit,
messed the pertormauce of "Mau and Wife !"
at one of our city theatres during tho last few
weeks. and those who have read the novel Of
Wilkie Collins, on which the play is founded,
will remember that the plot both of the ro-
nance and the drama turns upon the curious
Scotch law making the simple mutual aVowa
of marriage before witnesses valid, without
more formal legal ceremony. Now an action
has just been brought at Edinburgh oy MIS- RS
Margaret Steuart, or Robertson, against olr
Archibald Douglas Steuart, with the view OF
having the plaintiffs son, alleged to De the
child of the late Major Steuart, declared heir
to the Murthly estates. Since the action was
first raised, the boy has died, and Mrs hob
ertson perseveres with it to secure the WI
dow's share of the property. The plaintiff $
brother declared that Major Steuart had
when 10 poor circumstances, lived with the
plaintiff father, and one night declared with
tears in his eyes, | am poor now, and can
not marry to the height ofmy proper station, but
will marry Maggie in Scotch fashion. The
major then went down on one knee, drew a
ring from his waistcoat pocket, aud placed 1t
on one of Margaret fingers, saying, Maggie,
you are my wife before heaven-so help me,
God. " The sister of the witness said. ION,
major, put his arms around her neck, and
the two kissed each other They lived after
wards as man and wife, but the marriage was
kept secret. The case had not been concluded
at latest advices, but is interesting as showing
how the curious dramatic situations set forth
on the stage and in the novels, regarding these
laws, may be founded ON facts OF familiar &C.
