"three crowns" all told could not embody eight

WHAT FOINEY SAW AND WHAT
rnuNEv Mn NOT SEE.

Tt seems to be rather a difficult thing
for some of our Radical brethren to
tell the truth-especially difficult does
It seem for the notorious Colonel John
w. Forney, the man who "once upon
time ran .two papers, both daily, to
tell the truth, even where there IS no
apparent motive for him to do other
wise.
The aforesaid Forney, it seems, Is
writing a series of articles entitled
"Anecdotes of Public men," one OF
which was devoted to Governor Moore,
of Louisiana. In this article it was
not to beexpected that the imaginative
Forney should confne himself strictly
to the subject indeed, it was very
natural that he should have word or
two to say about other matters than
those Immediately connected with
Governor Moore. One Of these other
matters is referred to thusly, in the
following paragraph, in which Colonel
Forney says:
There is no finer piece of archltec-
tire than the military academy at
! Alexandria, La, and when L saw 1t,
with Colonel SCOTS party, as we passed
up Red river on our way to Texas, ID
June of 1872, was impressed by Its
exquisite proportions. 1t is in great
degree the growth of the National
Government, etc.
This is all well enough, says the cruel
Mobile Register, as mere Forneyism,
but it won't exactly do for history
The site of the Academy is at Pine
vile, seven miles from Alexandria
consequently when Col. Forney passed
Alexandria with Tom Scott, in 1872
he could hardly have seen that cline
piece of architecture" had it existed
for his nearest approach to Pinevillt
was seven miles. But the best part O
the story is yet to be told. There Ii
now no such building in Louisiana a
mentioned by Col. Forney, it having
been totally destroyed by fire in 1869
nearly three years before the time al
ludod to by the Colonel. Since 1856
the military school under consideration
has been conducted in the Deaf an,
Dumb Asylum buildings at Batol

your space is limited. I must be al
lowed, howe er, to express my regret
that we had no representative IF the

consoled for this by the knowledge,
gained from many sources, that the
admitted "belle of the parlor" at the
Montgomery White" where a still
larger Assem- bly, is present than at this
place, is a charming young friend
from Halifax county, a daughter of
one of our most distinguished citizens,
and as much noted for her aimability
and accomplishments as for her
beauty.
But all things must come to an end,
and so must this letter, the last you
will ever receive from me dated at this
place. Should I live to see another

American Germans, says the Boston
Post, and all others will not fail to OBJ
serve that the recall of Consul klarp-
recht from Stuttgart and the appoint
ment of Mr.. Sammis, a colored mar
from Florida, to take his place, IS
confirmation of that very undemocrat1c
and rlnamerican policy to which Mr..
Fish was reported as having commit
ted himself some time ago at the re-
quest of Prince Bismark. There is no
claim advanced that Mr.. klauprecht
did not perform his duties satisfacto-
riiy, and indeed, i'll much more intel
ligent manner than it is possible for "a
native American to do owing to his
knowledge Of both countries but
some time ago Bismark undertook to
discourage German emigration to this
country, and being II good Judge OF
men, he made the very extraordinary
proposition to Secretary Fish that he
should help linn III the policy which
| he now seems to be carrying out. The
Germans are as much citizens as the
| colOred men, while intellectually they
are inferior to no elome1}t of citizen
ship in this country. They must be
| hOEored with trusts of this kind unless
we are to confess at once that demo-

where can they fill diplomatic agencies
with more propriety than in that coun-
| trv whose customs and politics they

is to infict upon an influential and re,
liable class of citizens injustice and
humiliation, if not actual insult. 1t is
about time that our Secretary of State

contradict itself, and it would be quite
as patriotic in him to occasionally con
suit American interests as to obey the
nod and beck or be influenced by thu
insidious diplomacy of foreign prime"

was graduated at the University "i
under the late Chief Justice Rutin.
He served iii the Legislature for sev-
cral years, having been first elected :
rtr,lnhcr of the House Of Commons III
1929. He was also member of the
Convention of 1870, and took an i'm
portant part in the deliberations oi
that memorable body. In 1913 he was
elected to Congress and served con
tinu0usly until 1S49, when he was ap

After his return from Spain Mr.
Barringer removed to Raleigh, OF

one of the most ardent devoted and
