to base the machinery of society upon

of political privileges, and clothed
the negro with political power. The
races had been harmonious, Lut at
once and for a purpose you placed
them in hostile attitude.
You left many of the haas on OF

were your emissaries; they organized
the negroes into political party. In
every neIghborhood they formed them

ssTHE OLD. OLD STORY,

From all quarters the old charges of

of Northern papers. The great North
ern and Western elections are pend
ing. and the Northern heart must be
fired by exciting their fears and their
passions. The troubles which really
exist at the South, and which will con-

science. They ought to force upon

Blu these troubles are seized upon and
exaggerated and made the pretext for
renewed prosecutions of our people.
To be sure, after the elections are car
ried upon the sectional issues, we hear
no more of them until the Northern
masses are again to be arrayed against
the South.
We had supposed Southern disor-
ders" had served their purpose. For
several years they have been the sue
cessful rallyingcry Of the Radical party,
but now that the necessity is greater
than ever, the efforts in this direction
are doubled.

MONTGOMERY, September 22-Night
w. L. Jones, z. S. Commissioner at

the fol lowing: Although a true Repub-
lican, and devoted to my party and its
success, | cannot consent that my
county shall be fals;fied and SANDER
ed. 1t reflects upon Republicans as
well Us Democrats. [ have canvassed
this county already four times this
Fall in the interest of the Republican
party, and Justice and truth impel me
to declare that 1 never saw a more
peaceful, orderly, law-ab:ding peo-
pie, both colored and white. Not q
man has been killed nor single out
rage committed on account of political
feeling. Free speech and Republican
opinions can be INDUCED in anywhere

AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

Shall we have a Fair this Fall, Or
ever again? is now the question.
The various Fairs held by the Cape
Fear Agricultural Association for the
past few years have had a most happy
effect upon the business and character
CT our city, and also upon the agricul-
tural and mechanical ability of the
section of country tributary to Will
mington, and has had decided effect
in stimulating all industrial pursuits
and productions.
It is we'll known that this imme-
date vicinity has not heretofore been
regarded as an agricultural section;
there are not many farmers-not
enough to associate il sufficient
strength to organize and conduct sue
cessfully an Institution of this kind
It is therefore evident, if we are to have
annual Fairs in the interests of OUR
city and the country surrounding it; if
our people are to be stimulated to an
increased and improved production of
the soil, Of the workshop, of the mines,
of the fine arts, of household produc-
ton, in fact Of all the departments OF
industry, they must be sustained by
our own citizens, and for their consid-
Grafton the question Is now fairly
open.
1t is very certain the institution can
not be sustained without money, and
it is question for our citizens to de-
termine whether it will pay; whether
the investment will be profitable.
4 committee appointed by the Board
OF Directors will wait upon our citi-
zers, commencing this day. to receive
subscriptions to the new corporation
and collect a small percentage of the
same, after which, it is expected, the
demand upon stockholders viii be
small, provided the subscription list is
full. But it appears necessary to sue
cess, that the subscriptions should be
sufficiently large to secure the compa-
ny against embarrassment from an ex-
IRENE emergency, which might compel |
1t to borrow money at a ruinous rate
of interest.
Therefore we call upon our citizens,
one and ali. to look this matter full in
the face. 1t will bear no dodging.-

your wits, open your hearts, and give

the official with great courtesy. His

sist in its attempts to force a COM
mingling of the two races.
So long as the President has the
power to overturn the government OF
States as he did in Louisiana, people
must think those States have no rights
that the Federal government is bound
to respect, and their existence depends
solely upon the will Of the Federal
Executive. This condition of affairs
necessarily produces great anxiety
among men accustomed to Constitu-
tional government, with known, ascer-
tanned powers.
So long as Congress shall, by civil
rights bills or other kindred legisla-
ton, seek to force the commingling OF
the races, advocated by Sumner, Bout
we'll, Sherman and other Senators,
thereby coming in conflict with SEN
timent more firmly implanted in the
hearts of Southern white men than
even the love of life itself, just SO long
will the passions of both races be in
famed, and the peace of society dis
turbed by constant outbreaks. And if
after these outbreaks, military Federal
interference is to follow, with its inev-
liable train Of tyranny, outrage, OPP
preston and intimidation, the tempta-
ton to the Federal Administration to
! bring about collisions between the
races as pretext for military inter
! ference in behalf Of its party, will be as
irresistible in the future as III The
past. This fact, when it is re-
membered with what frequency our
elections take place, is sufficient
to satisfy any reasoning man that the
future Of the South promises badly
from its present outlook. The only
reconstruction that promised good re-
suits is one that shall restore the true
relations between the State and Fed
eral governments and shall also rccog-
Mise and act upon the fact that the Fed
erti government does not possess and
must not exercise any power i'll a
]
else in Northern State; i'll word,
that maintains Louisiana as free from
Federal Executive control as the State
of New York.
When this kind of reconstruction
shall have bee n consummatcd the dawn
of new era will be at hand and the
South will rapidly become peaceful,
and prosperous.
