ARKANSAS is beginning to send wheat
away for sale in the Northern markets.
This unexpected proof of the progress of
that State is entirely due to the labor revo-
luton which has taken place there. In
stead of making cotton" as the absorbing
product of the soil, the planters have be-
gun to farm and TO raise their own bread
stuffs. The germ Of thoroughly Republi-
can independence has evidently taken a
firm hold, and all that remains to be done
to make the State one of the most pros
porous in the Union, is to clean out the
Democratic of1ce-holders who repell immi-
grafton to it by refusing to maintain free
schools, and by maintaining an inyidious
distinction in the administration of Justice
by which their political friends and SYM
pathizers are favored and their opponents
made the victims of oppression.

THE North Carolina Democrats still in
sist that JEFF Davis should be pardoned, and
at the same time insist that Ex-Governor
Holden's disabilities shall not be removed.
Davis committed q crime which cannot be
denied against a nation; while Holden's
acts were, to say the most, simply those of
partisan official; but they look upon the
two as parallel cases. Davis has never
been tried, while Holden has been i'm
peached, deposed from Office ond decitizen-
lied, so to speak. There is no similarity
between them; but the manner in which
they are severally treated by the Southern
Democrats plainly proves that Holden's
Union record, as well as his subsequent
adherence to the Republican party, has
more to do with their opposition to the
proposition to remove his disabilities than
anything else. In other words, they are
making political martyr Of him, and per-
haps it is as well for Holden that they are.

THE New York Democrats, and such
hybrid journals as the Tribune, seem to
think that Governor Tilden is the only llv-
ing man who can effectually break down
the infamous canal ring. Up to this time,
however, he has failed to do anything in
the direction of reform, except to sanction
the arrest Of Assemblyman Lord. 1t
should be understood in this connection
that the Tri6uneS support was bought by
Tilden for $50, 900 when he ran for Gov
e1nor, and it is therefore not improbable
that its present attitude of support to him,
at time when his acts do not justify the
claim it sets up in his behalf is also the
result of bargain and sale.

receive commeDdation for its labors in our be-
half, in these days when even Republican jour-
nails in the North, deceived by the persistent
misrepresentation Of Democratic press agents
and Democratic newspapers, and by the clamor
of the independent press, help to circulate
the idea that Republicanism In North Carolina
Is fat upon It's back. Had It not been for the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN it would not be known

fifteen thousand votes, being g change In our

f1NFoRMATIoN is wanted of the where
abouts of the battle-f1ag of the First Regi-
ment Louisiana Volunteers. Color-bearer
Clancy was captured at Gettysburg and taken
to Fort Delaware. He kept the flag around
his body during the whole time Of his impris-
onment. He was exchanged and returned to
Richmond in October, 1868. While here he
left the flag in the custody of some one whose
name cannot be ascertained. The undersigned,
in behalf of the First Louisiana, would be
pleased to hear anything concerning the flag )"
This announcement appears over the
signature of Mr.. Ernest Wiltz in the Rich
mond Enquirer. The eviden: object to
be realized in the recovery of the lost bat
tle-fag is the glorihcstion of the Lost
Cause. 1t is an emblem of treason; but is
still cherished with earnest affection by
those who followed in battle. While they
pretend to revere the Stars and Stripes and
to be loyal TO the Government against
which they fought under it, it seems to be
impossible for them to consistently keep
furled the Confederate flag.

of bribery If not at the bribes. Democrats
cannot afford to enter into contest with Re-
publicans upon records of honesty in office
anywhere, in either State or National trusts.
The veterans of the party know this and
are silent 1t is only the paid scribblers
and over-zealous juveniles who make
such charges and allegations as we have
referred to above. These make rule to
repeat every lie they hear which they
imagine will injure the Republican party.

THE virtuous indignation of the Phila-
delphia Times over the award by the Treas
ury Department Of the internal revenue
stamp printing contract is readily explained.
The Mclaughlin Brothers, Philadelphia
printers, were bidders for it. They are
stockholders in the Times, and Frank Nc
Laughlin is the publisher or business man
ager of the paper. He is a red-hot Demo
crat but evidently thinks that the contract
should have been awarded to his firm, not
withstanding that the bid of the Graphic
was the lowest one offered. Hence these

T. ]. MURREY, a "defunct" restaurant
keeper of St. Paul, is one of the latest wit
nesses brought forward by MIR. Welsh, of
Philadelphia, as witness against the In
dian Bureau As usual, he indorses Muir
rey as thoroughly reliable" and, as
usual, it turns out that Murrey Is unrelia-
BILE. The Pioneer Press, a strictly indie
pendent paper, published at st. Paul, ex-
poses his true character to be that of an un-
principled blackmailer in an article which
we reproduce elsewhere this morning.

THE Greensboro IN. c. NsV North
State alludes to the garbled accounts Of
political affairs in the South sent by the
agents of the Associated Press In that sec
ton as follows: ....
"The editor Of the Washington REPuBLI-
CAN is thoroughly converssnt with political
affairs in the Southern States, and understands
the politics of North Carolina as well as II he
were here upon the ground. When the Demo-
cratic agents Of the Associated press tels-
urapbed Democratic victory all over the
North. the Washington REPUBLICAN rectifed
the error, and finally brought the Northern
people to realizing sense, not only OF the Re
nnubiicsn victory, but of its overwhelming i'm
portauce, The editor Is entitled to, and should

THE North Carolina constitutional con-
vention meets to-day. Judge Settle will
probably administer the oath of Office to
the members thereof, and, contrary to the
maliciously false assertions Of the Democ-
rscy, will not assume authority to decide
contested election cases. He holds that the
convention itself is alone empowered to
make such decisions.

The fact that Columbus Alexander tel
egraphed his congratulations to the Califor-
mia Democrats upon the result of the late
election in that State will be generally &C.
cepted as pretty positive proof that the
enemies of progress and true reform have
obtained temporary control Of affairs in that

edge to the contrary, and have sought none.
But as to his credibility, Mr.. Welsh must have
sought evidence in quarters unknown to this
community, although right here he could
have discovered the strongest possible iHspira-
ton on the part Of Murrey for auy state
ment that anybody would rs.en to to the damage
of the man who loaned him money, took secu-
rity on bis fixtures, and sold them out like o
man of business when he found he could get Il
back in no other way. There has been no
time when Mr.. wilder could not have bought
Murrey off dog cheap II he had chosen to sub
nit to his Matchmaking demands, but it may
be said to his credit, and It will 90 far toward
his defense, that he persistently refused to do
anything of the kind.
It appears to have occurred TO Mr.. Welsh
that II Murrey's evidence Is true, It convicts
that individual himself Of equal completely
with Wilder, but this seems not to have injured
bis "credibility" In any respect with the ex-
cellent Mr.. Welsh. -.-.
So far as the letters Of Mr.. Welsh affect Mr..
Wilder, 1t is proper to say that his standing In
this community entities him to hearing before
judgment is rendered. That hearing It is the
purpose Of the Pioneer Press to afford him at
q very early day. Mr.. Wilder has undoubtedly
had considerable transactions with the Indian
department, but If he has been guilty of abso-
lutte fraud, It will be q surprise to his friends
in this city, who are may as well as staunch.

than the finite mind can form Of

city which covers seven hundred
square miles, and numbers four
million inhabitants. Fancy city
which contains more Jews than
the whole of Palestine, more Ro.
man Catholics than Rome, more
Irish than Dublin, more Scotch
than Edinburg. A city whose
port contains every day a thous-
and ships, and nine thousand sail
ors. In which a birth occurs
every FIVE minutes aud a death
every eight minutes throughout
the year. In which twenty eight
miles Of new streets are opened
annually, and nine thousand new
houses are built every twelve
months. A city in which the po-
lice register contains the name and
descriptions Of 1zO, 900 criminals;
which has seventy-three miles of
beer shops and ginpalaces; which
has $4,000 drunksrds, and which
though it numbers churches by

In Carter county, Tenn, at . -
o'clock a. m. last Saturday, Andrew
Johnson breathed his last. He was
born in Raleigh, n. c., on Decem-
Der %, 1SOS. At the age of ten
he was apprenticed to a tailor,
with whom he served seven years.
His mother being a poor widow,
she could not afford him any edu-
cational advantages. He never At
tended school a day in his lie
While learning his trade he was
determined to learn to read, and
after his daily work would spend
his evenings on the shop board
studying. In 1926 he settled in
GreenVille, Tenn, taking withhim
his mother who was dependent on
him for support, and he soon after
married Under the instructions
Of his wife he learned to writeand
cipher. He was elected alderman
of the village in 1928, and re-
elected in 1929 and 1880. In1S3O
he was chosen Mayor, which posi-
ton he held for three years. In
1885 he was elected to the Legis-
lature, and was again elected to
the same position in 1889. In
1910 he served as a Presidential
elector on the Democratic
ticket. In 1S43 he was elected to
Congress, where, by reflections,
he served until 1888. In 1858 he
was elected Governor of Telnes-
see, and was reelected in. 1855.
In 1857 he was elected United
States Senator for the term Of six
years. During the civil var he
served as military Governor of
Tennessee. In 1864 he was elect
ed Vice President of the United
States, and upon the death Of Lin
coin, in April, 1865, became Pres
ident, which position he held un-
til March 4, 1869. In 1874 be was
elected United States Senator
from Tennessee, and was mem
Der of the Senate at the time of
his death.
Andrew johnson was a most
remarkable man; from great OBJ
scurity, uneducated, una ded and
alone, we find by his record that
he advanced higher and higher in
Office, until he reached the highest
in our Government. His several
reflections for important offices
fully show the hold he had on the
hearts and minds of the people of
bis adopted State.
