KIND AND NOBLE WORDS FOR
THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.

The published threat of the "Grand
Army of the Republic" to prevent 10y
force sympathizers with the Confeder-
ate dead from decorating their graves
on the late memorial day, has called
forth leader of unusual beauty and
power from the New York Tribune.
1t is SO full of noble expression, and
a broad and catholic charity, that we
have concluded that we could not bet
ter use the space than in giving the fol-
lowing extracts
The Tribune says : "Of course We
discover in this demonstration of indig-
nation at the proposed insult the evil
dence of profound patriotism and earn
est loyalty. We should, perhaps, be
thankful in such times as these for the
NICE sense of honor, the exquisitely
sensitive love of country, the reverent
PATRIOTISM, the constancy of devotion
TO the Union, and the undying hostil-
lty to IT'S dead and buried enemies. of
which we have here such tokens. For
1t must be confessed that many things
OF late have made us skeptical of any
such keeness of susceptibility. For
really, when we sell our seats in the
Senate, and our Senators themselves
are bought and sold /; when our judges
haunt the lobbies of Congress to In
huence legislation for pay when cleo
hons are carried by fraud and the per-
pefratoxs Qf fraud ere protected BY

ELECTION OE JUDGES.

The Charlotte DCmOcTdt says that at
the election in August next six OF the
twelve Judges of the Superior Courts
in this State will have to be voted for.
With all due respect for the opinion
of a cotemporary usually SO accurate
in its statements, We think the Demo
crat is mistaken in supposing that
those Judges who drew the short terms
will go out of Office this year.
The Constitution provided that the
Superior Court Judges elected at the
first election under the Constitution,
should hold their offices for eight
years except those who drew the short
terms. Those who dreY the short
terms were to hold Office for four
years. The Constitution further pre-
scribed that the Judges elected at the
first election under its provisions,
should ''hold their offices for the
terms prescribed for them respectively
next ensuing after the next regular
election for members of the General
Assembly"
The Supreme Court has decided. we
believe, that the election i'll August,
1870, was "the next regular election
for members of the General Assembly,.
This being so, those Judges who hold
the short terms will not go out OF
office until August, 1874, when then
successors shall have been elected cas-
is provided for the election of mem
bers of the General Assembly"
We think there can be no doubt as
to the incorrectness Of the statement
of the DF1HOcJ.Ct
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1873-05-30
THEE WAR RECORD OF NORTH
CAROLINA.

We are glad to see an interest
awakening in the record made by
North Carolina soldiers during the late
unsuccessful attempt to establish the
independence of the Southern Con-
federacy.
We are pleased, too, at the shape
and direction that is being given to
that interest. The Raleigh Sentinel
proposes to publish a sketch or
sketches from every county in the
State, showing the record of the
soldiers for that county. Colonel
Stephen d. Pool, of the Journal of
Commerce, proposes to publish first,
in newspaper, and then in book form,
accounts of every battle in which
North Carolina Troops took part
during the late war. We ire, indeed,
heartily glad to make these announce
ments, and will take great pleasure, by
every means i'll our power, ia forward
ing the schemes for the collection and
preservation of our war records
step that is both necessary and prelim-
mary to a full, well digested history of
the deeds of North Carolina Troops in
our glorious, but unfortunate, struggle
for freedom and independence.
The plan proposed by the Sentinel,
if carried out, viii give to the historian
an immense store of authentic mate
rial, and viii leave him Little to do but

CAPTAIN JACK AND TEE MO-
DOCS,

Whether or not the srIrrende5 Of GER
tain of his warriors, together with the
squaws and pappooses of the whole
tribe, will weaken or strengthen Cap
tain Jack, the account of which ap-
peared in our telegraphic' columns on
Saturday, is question that will admit
of much discussion. The accounts
differ, but taking the highest figures,
no more than fifteen men have surren-
dered. the remainder of the sixty odd
persons consisting of women and chill
dren. These women and children
would be only a burden to Captain
Jack, and it is a stroke of policy on his
part to rid himself of them.
But this is not the only question that
is presented by this surrender, as the
New York Evening Post asks
Are Bogus Charley, Shack Nasty
Jim, Curly-Headed Doctor, Hooker
Jim, aud the rest of the eminent gen
tlemen who have kindly consented to
lay down their arms, to be treated as
prisoners of war or common criminals:
Ii the theory prevails that the Modoc
Indians are an independent nation.
then the surrender of these fellows en-.
titles them to comparative immunity
for whatever crimes they have com,
mitted. If, on the contrary, the theory
prevails that these men are citizens ot
the United States, i'll so far as the oh,
legations OF law are concerned, ther
they must be treated IS any white
criminal, who, tired of lodging the
officers of justice, walked to the nearest
police station and delivered himself up
The question is one that we do not
propose to answer. We are glad tc
believe that General Sherman's inhu
man suggestion to slaughter the whole
tribe without exception and without
trial, Will not be carried out

CURIOUS.

We learn from the Baltimore An,eri-
can that General LIE Blanc, the co H.
mander of the forces that lately at
tempted to dispossess the Kellogg
officials at ST. Martinsville, was brought
before the United States Commissioner,
but no overt act being proved against
him, was discharged"
If Kellogg be Governor of Louisiana,
and if there be any man in that State
or out of it, who has been guilty Of an
covert act of opposition or treason to
his Government, we had supposed
Colonel LIE Blanc to be the man.
Colonel LIE Blanc was in the field
under q commission from Governor
McEnery, and with troops under his
command, with arms, ammunition and
supplies, for the ayowed purpose of
resisting and overthrowing the Kellogg
Government and for no other purpose.
He openly and boldly confronted the
Kellogg forces, and, If we mistake not,
had more than one collision with them
in which life was taken.
President Grant asserts that the
Kellogg government is the true and
lawful government of Louisiana; that
it has been jndicially determined SO TO
be, by the inferior and Supreme Courts
of the State and tacitly by Congress,
and as such he supports it with all the
power of the United States
And yet, in the face of all this,
Colonel LIE Blanc is discharged by a
United States Commissioner for want
of proof of an overt act !
Possibly, however, the Commissioner
discharged his prisoner as ''turbu-
lent and disorderly person." in order
that he might obey the injunction of
the Proclamation, that all such per-
sons should within twenty days retire
''to their respective places of abode. 3"
If he held Colonel LIE Blanc it is GER
tain he could not go home that he
was q "disorderly and turbulent per-
son" as the President mildly phrases
it, is also certain. What, then, could
the Commissioner do but discharge
him? It is curious for all that, how
ever.
