hrst introduction, gentleman Dy Cne naLne
of Du Bois, treasurer of the East India Com
pany, sent bag of rice to South Carolina.
This gave rise, it is said, to the distinction
which was made in the kinds Of rice. One
kind was called red rice, and the other white
rice.
tits probable that the bag of rice sent by
Du Bois arrived during Smiths administra-
ton, and, as is reasonable to suppose, was
given to him since he was Governor; and
hence some were led to contlude that the cul-
tivation of rice in the colony commenced at
that period. With the introduction Of rice is
intimately connected the rapid introduction
of African slaves into the colony. Africans
were first brought into the colony by John
Yeamans from Barbados; but the number
did not increase rapidly until rice began to
be cultivated extensively. Rice was first
planted on what we call up land but it was
soon discovered that low damp lands were
better adapted to its growth. These places
proved unhealthy to the English servantsand
Indian slaves, but not so to the Africans. It
was not long until the negro population was,
as it is yet, greater than the white. Sir Will
liam Berkley, Governor Of Virginia, sowed
the first rice that was ever sown in North
America. This was in the year 1877, He
sowed one half bushel and made sixteen
bushels.
For number of years after the settlement,

ton of public funds, moderate and reasonable
taxation. All these blessings are within cur
reach, if we are united and determined in de-
manding them. They are the chief public
concerns at the present time. Whatever the
changing fortunes of political parties in the
nation at large, these things will remain, for
years to come, the true aim Of your people.
1t is a work worthy of our highest efforts, and
we have aiding US in this good work the au.
spicious era of our national centennial year.
We do not know or feel, think, how greatly
the hearts of the American people of both Sec
tions will be drawn to each other as the great
celebration of our national birthday comes
on. We have caught little of its influence
at Lexington and Bunker Hill, but the full
tide will sweep over US at Philadelphia on the
fourth of July next. Then let US hope that
under the full influences of those feelings
which bound our fathers of the South and
North to the great cause of American freedom
and independence, we may find it easy to 60
forward to the completion of their great work,
the accomplishment Of their hopes and aims,
the perpetuation for all coming generations Of
a nation wherein universal and impartial free
dom shall show its perfect work" The ad.
dress was we'll received and Loudly applauded.

The Indians Of North Carolina.

"A tribe of Cherokee Indians still ex.
lists in the higher range of the North Carolina
mountains, the members of which we're not
included in the treaties of 1919 and 1886. In
these treaties, efecting transfer of the In.
dians in the South to tracts of land west Of
the Mississippi, a fragment of the Cherokee
tribe was left on their native land. The frag.
ment then numbered about 1900 souls, and
they have increased in population until they
now number about 1000. They still occu.
py their original territory, mountainous re,
gon called Qualla, watered by the Tuckasee.
gee and Oconalufta rivers. For whole gen.
Grafton this people were under the control Of
a white man, who exercised dictatorship.
This man was Col. Thomas, and was known
among the Indians by the name of "Junalus.
kie." Previous to the war, he figured con-
spicuously in North Carolina politics, having
been elected to the Legislature number of
times. He also managed to possess himself
of every foot of the Indians territory, and
his creditors seized it and sold it under the
hammer. The courts of North Carolina
however, recognized the case as one of swind-
ling and restored to the Indians the property.
They have now ten thousand acres of land
under cultivation, and have built with their
own means two churches. The only attempt
made to educate them has been by the State
of North Carolina, nor have they ever sought
"Government aid" in any manner.
The Brooklyn Scandal.
- The old scandal was partially revived
again last Friday, at meeting of the Ply
mouth congregation, in the cases of Mrs. Fran
els D. Mouton and Deacon West, who had
been notified by the examining committee of
the intention of the church to drop them from
the roll of membership for attendance.
Deacon West was not present Mrs. Moulton
was present, with her attorney, Pryor, and also
sixty members of the church, half Of whom
we're ladies. Pryor read an answer, writ
ten and signed by Mrs. Moulton, and conclu-
ding as follows: "My absence is an enforced
one, and caused by the crime of adultery COM
mitted by Henry Ward Beecber, the pastor
of this church, with one of his parishioners,
which 1 know to be a fact, through Mr..
Beecher's confessions to me, the confessions
of Mrs. Tilton, and the conclusive evidence
of the crime from other sources. / appear
before this church in loyal obedience to the
summons which have received, and I hereby
declare my disposition and desire to discharge
all the duties devolving on me, as member,
that are consistent with my knowledge of the
adultery of the pastor and his false swearing
with regard to it," A silent vote was then
taken, and the name of Mrs. Moulton was
dropped from the roll of membership. 1t
is stated that committee has been appoin-
ted by the Congregational Association of
New York and Brooklyn to inquire, on the
part of the society, into the truth or falsity
of the charges against Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. The committee, it is said, will en-
ter upon the discharge of its duties at once.

Joy and gladness.
Our streets, during the past week, did not
present the aspect of life and activity that
characterized them during the preceding
weeks. This was due to smaller amount of
cotton Offering for sale. The decline in the
price does not please the farmers, and they
are consequently holding for higher figures.
On Friday, civil case of considerable in
terest came up for trial before Trial Justice
Sanders. Mr. F. G. Whitlock was the plain
tiff, and Mr.. V. B. Wright, the defendant.
The main facts are as follows: In January,
1872, Mr.. Wright loaned Mr.. Whitlock the
sum of fifty dollars, for which the latter gave
his note A short time ago, Wright brought
suit to recover his money, and judgment was
rendered in his favor. On Friday, Whitlock
sued Wright for s9S. The claim of the plain
tiff rested, in great measure, upon services
rendered the defendant which the latter en-
deavored to show by testimony were regarded
by him at the time as only "neighborly acts. !"
At the close of the testimony, the Trial JUS
tice announced his intention Of giving writ
ten decision in the case on Tuesday. His Of
fee was then vacated by the parties to the
suit and their friends, only to meet again on
the street with the view to effecting more
satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty. For
tunately, there were pcace-makers around,
whose efforts were direc... toward allaying
the wrath of the belligerents. They yielded to
the mild, gentle voice of persuasion, and
mounting their horses, turned their faces
homeward, where they doubtless arrived safe
ly, and probably, by this time, are fast friends
again. Mr.. F. NJ. Cross, one of our cotton
buyers, in endeavoring to keep the peace, re-
ceived an accidental cut from a knife in the
hands of one of the antagonists. The wound,
though painful is not serious.
The "cotton traps" in the vicinity of Cedar
Shoals were visited by a revenue official last
week, and we're found to be carrying on an
illegal business in whisky. The proprietors
will probably be prosecuted at the next term
of the court for violation Of the internal rev.
enue laws.

ing at Landsford to report the dealers in farm
produce at night, have succeeded in Catching
