COL. e. IL. LILIES.

In the last number of the Wades-
boro Argus, Col. Lilies was announced
as one of the Editors. We offer our
most cordial congratulations to the
Aygus and its readers upon so valua-
BILE an addition to it's editorial staff
and to Colonel Lilies q most hearty well

quaintance with Col. Lilies is of no re-

old days of the University-and we
are truly glad that by his advent into
the "Press Gang" he has added an
other to the many friendly bonds al
ready between US.
Col. Lilies is a strong, vigorous, for

A good specimen of the sort of leg
islation the Kellogg regime turn out
in Louisiana is found in a llw passed
by the last Legislature. Tt postpones
the time of holding the city election in
New Orleans two years, giving the
present Governor the power of ap-
pointing the necessary officers when
the present incumbents' time has ex-
pired. Gov. Kellogg has not signed
the bill, as lie is not obliged to do SO
until the next Legislature meets, if he
does not choose to, and he has given
the Democrat majority to understand
that he will not sign it at all if they
will nominate the kind of men he
wants. The Governor has evidently
taken his ideas of Republican form
of government from the conduct of his
superiors and supporters in Washing
ton.

1Ressrs. Kerr and StruauscIs.

The Greensboro Patriot says The
nomination of Hon. John Kerr is a fit
recognition of one of the truest men
and unswervinS citizens in the COM
monwealth. Decided III his views,
and uncompromising in his struggle
against what lie deemed wrong, he
always stood in the front defending
the right, denouncing the wrong. His
firmness was tested when Holden let
loose the dogs OF war and opened his
dungeons to the men he hated, but he
stood erect and looked as Indignantly
defiant when surrounded with bayo-
nets as when in the forum he lashed
with his whitening eiOquence the cor
rupt horde who preyed upon the mis-
fortunes of his people and the upstart
tyrants who conspired to opprcss them.
He is pure man, an orator with few
peers, learned in the law. and Of in
tegrity unbending. He viii honor the
position he is called to fill.
Mr.. Strudwick, nominee fer Solici-
tor. is a lawyer of ability, has repre-
sented his county in the Legislature
with distinction, and will make a good
officer. There is no question as to the
election of any of these gentlemen, it
is simply question Of numbers, and
our effort should be to make the ma
jority for them overwhelming.

In q late number of the Chicago
Times we find the following with re-
gard to the negro, which is worthy Of
perusal and consideration
$50 far from the negro being the
coming planter of the South, he is the
coming barbarian. Leave this animal
to himself, take away from him the
civllizing and restraining influences of
the Caucasian race, and he will relapse,
in n generation, to a condition like
;hat of his h-worshipping brother
in Central Africa. Let the whites
withdraw from the South; place every
appliance in the hands of the negroes
to assist their advancement; and then,
if left to themselves, the whole South
in fifty years would be.a Jungle from
which would be effaced every vestige
of civilization. Under no circumstan-
ccs save where he has been guided by
and is held inferior to the white has
the negro ever accomplished anything,
He is valuable as q servant, but use
less as a master"
The grasshoppers or locusts have
made their appearance in immense
numbers in Northern Minnesota and
Manitoba. In some places the ground
is covered with them, and they are
destroying grass, grain and garden
vegetables.
Sixteen joint stock companies, forty
four banks, thirty-six industrial COM
panies, eighteen building one
insurance company and one transit
company became bankrupt by the e.
nancial crisis in Vienna last May.
Hereafter those who go to Europe
for business or pleasure will have to
pay fee of five dollars each for their
passports. 1t is expected that the tax
will yield forty or fifty thousand dol
lars.
Pasigraphy is the name of new sys-
tenn of writing by numbers, which, it
is asserted, may be used universally,
! and thus obviate the difficulty of com
munication between nations of differ
! cnt languages. 1t is expected to cut
| quite figure.
| Mr.. Throckmorton, one of the Cali
! fornia Fish Commissioners, declares
| that the experiment of transplanting
Eastern oysters on the Pacific coast
has proved failure. The oysters be-
! como very fat and die in about year.
| Elections in England are not models
of fairness and decorum, and indeed
are great deal worse than our own;
/ but then the injustice done at the
polls IS often redressed on petition.
| Thirteen members of the present
| House of Commons have already been
unseated for malpractices at the last
general election-one for bribery, one
for corruption, one for intimidation,
and five for ''treatin" there are
others to hear from. That is the way
they do things under a monarchicl
despotism. In our free and glorious
country a gentleman who gets into
Congress by false certificates or re-
turns of imaginary majorities is likely
to stay there as long as he can keep
on good terms with the party in poMeE.
Or if his case is altogetherto too fragrant

The Conservative Township Com

requested to meet and organize imme-

If any Township has no such Com

Committee from such Township is re-
quested to appoint one, consisting of
five members, and to aid them in the
work of organization.
Township Committees should ap-
point suchsub-committees challengers,

'Ehc Clinton .sNin Pond, EnJunc-
lion Case.

In regard to this case, the object of
which we have already published,
the Clinton RcpOrtC1' gives us the fol-
lowing particulars in reference to it at
Sampson Court this week:
Judge Buxton having refused to
grant an injunction in the mill case
which our readers have often heard
of, the grand jurors for Sampson
county, after two or three days patient
investigation, passed a bill of indict-
ment against Mrs. J. G.. Williams and
Mr.. John Jones. on last Thursday, for
keeping up a common nuisance" in
the vicinity of Clinton to the damage
of the health Of the town.
Immediately, thereupon, the case
was put on trial, and on Monday night
of this week verdict of "guilty" was
rendered by tue petit jury.
The trial was long and tedious.
Many medical gentlemen were
examined on the witness stand
and the proceedings were high
ly interesting and instructive to
the large and patient crowd of lis
teners who thronged the Courtroom.
Drs. Satchwell and Wood of Whining
ton; DIR. Kirby, of Goldsboro; DIR. Fl.
w. Faison, of Faison; Drs. BiZzell,
Lee, Faison, Murphy, Hill and Holmes,
of Clinton, and Drs. Monk, Darden,
Hobbs, Moseley. Thompson, Sloan
and Pearsall, of Sampson county, were
examined.
Mr.. Stewart and the Messrs. Devane
appeared for the State and Mr.. Rich
ardson for the defendants.
The judgment of the Court was sus-
pended on payment of the costs; and
we are gratified to learn that the ply
sicians of Clinton will prove no wit
pess tickets nor charge the expert fee
of $40 allowed by the &c urt, and that
the witnesses for the prosecution will
follow their example.
Mr.. Jones will turn off the water
from the pond in a short time.

The Washington correspondent O

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York ITorld says,
Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, again
and eloquent representative OF the
South and real statesman by deliver
ing a prepared speech on the present
political condition of the South. 1t
was the first full and fair statement of
the attitude Of the white people OF the
South towards the General Govern
ment and also the State governments
Of the South that has been made upon
the floor of Congress. With admirable
clearness he brushed away all the
sophistrY with which ti1a question of
reconstruction has been surrounded,
and, beginning by showing the abso-
lutte loyalty and submission of the
people of the South at the end Of the
war, he traced the history of recon
struction, showing how wholly help
less and severely afflicted his people
were under the reconstruction legisla-
ton. He showed how the machinery
of the Federal Government had been
used to inflict evils greater than con-
fiscation upon the South, and declared
that although there might be State
governments there, there were no
States. The question he put to the
Republicans was whether they had
not gone far enough with their policy
towards the South. The speech was
sequel to Mr.. Lamar's Grafton on
Sumner, and was listened to by every
member of the House present.

= OCIAE EQT ALT IN RAN
nOIPH-CAN III BE TRUE.

The Fayetteville Gazette says:
We have been told that at public
gathering in Randolph the other day,
a dinner was given, where white and
black men ate together. The leading
Radical of the affair, Sheriff McMas-
ters, we think, would go out and make
proclamation for ten whites and ten
negroes to come in to dinner, the ac-
commodations being insufficient for
ali at a time. This is but beginning
of what we shall see from the Radical
party throughout the South.

A very lively effervescence seems to
have arisen, of late, between the white
and black Radicals in Alabama upon
the occasion OF public meetings to ini-
tia the campaign. In all the import
ant towns of the State these meetings
have frothed over and burst off the lid
of the pot. Either blacks or whites
have seeded, and the Democratic
prints seem to think that they will not
amalgamate any more.

Ii we were making up a political al

it will be as old Governor Swain used

Just ROW the independent candi-

REMARKS.

While it IS an undeniable fact that
the lions share of honors and emolu-
ments have fallen to the lot of the
"old line Wing" portion of the Dem
ocratic- Conservative party in North
Carolina, we beg leave to assure our
Radical Raleigh contemporary that it
need not hope to take any advantage
therefrom. The devotion of the old
lire Democrats to the cause of good
government, the rights of the States
and the liberty Of the citizen is not to
be gnaged by the measure of spoils
that falls to their lot Their political
action springs from snse of duty
and if it happens that a greater share
of the honors and emolumen.s falls to
their old line Wing brethren than to
themselves they will none tie less do
their duty.
Our Radical friends will take moth
ing from their attempts to create dis
satisfaction in our ranks by appeals to
the selishness of ''old line Democrats"
