The Norfolk Landmarks, comment
ing upon DR.. Craven's letter declining
the nomination rendered by the Con-
servatives of Randolph county, well
says:
1.-The author of this admirable letter
comprehends fully the sphere and func-
tions of a Minister of the Gospel, and
it is to be lamented that the sensation
al preachers of the North cannot un-
derstand that ''the pulpit, the hustings
and the rostrun are united in interest.
but not in discussion" If Mr.. Beech
er, for example. had comprehended
this. and with the dignifed abnegation
OF DIR. Craven had devoted himself
solely to the duties of his calling, he
would never have found himself in the
humiliating attitude in which he now
stands before the people of two hemis-
rheres."

A Burning shame.
From the HjlIsboro Recorder


Under the old Constitution there
was some distinction between vice and
virtue, between crime and innocence.
Guilt had its penalties which marked
a lasting difference between the offend
er and the free citizen.
Now it is all different. The rights
Of the viiest criminal are only in abey-
ance during tue temporary suspension
OF liberties. With the withdrawal of
the prison bolts, he marches forth a
free man restored to all his rights and
privileges, to neutralize by his foul
breath the voice of the pure. the hon
est and the patriotic. Nor does
he always have to wait until the
legal term Of his sentence has expired.
Party has use for him in its emergeu-
cies. How often have we seen judicial
or executive clemency strike off the
chains fro n the criminal, throw open
the prison gates, and march him forth
to swell the tide of victory or cast his
might IN the doubtful scales of con-
fiict.
There is nothing more precious than
the right of sutfrage-a right which is
conceded to be not an inherent one.
but won from power by hard struggle
and worthy now to be cherished as the
heritage of the free and of the honest.
Are the people willing to see this right
degraded by its longer enjoyment by
the thief, the forger. the felon in all
the gradations of crime?
Yet this must be SO under this pres
ent Constitution, and until the people
determine that the Convention of 1875
shall restore the rightful relations be-
tween crime and obedience to the laws
of the land and of morality.

tax of sixteen and two thirds cents for
the general fund on every one hundred
dollars value of real and personal prop
erty in the State, subject to exemp-
tions made by law, including moneys,
credits. bonds, stocks and all other
ta1able property.
SEC. q. A special tax of nine cents
on the one hundred dollars shall be
levied and collected on all taxable
property of the State for the Insane
Asylum, and the Institution for the
Deaf Dumb and Blind.
SEC. 3. A special tax of six cents on
the one hundred dollars shall be levied
and collected on all taxable property of
the State, to be applied to the support
of the copvicts and to general prose
cution of wolk connected with the
Penitentiary.
And yet in the face of these plain
provisions of the law. the negro party
asserts that ''there is no tax whatever
upon the books of lawyers and profess
sional men," Does this negro party
think that white men are to be fooled
by such bald falsehoods like parcel
of ignorant negroes? White men may
be poor, but that does not put them
upon an equality with negroes, either
mentally, morally, or socially. Ne
groes believe anything their Radical
masters tell them, no matter how glar-
ingly false. White men acknowledge
no masters, and require much more
+hap mara Radical authority to make
them believe a Radical assertion.

ARE THE RgiSTRICTIONS R bind
ING!
What Judge Rsdman says,

Judge Rodman, of the Supreme
Court, is candidate for the Conven-
tion in Beaufort and Pamlico counties.
1t is, of course, we'll known that Judge
Rodman is most pronounced Radical.
In his address to the voters of Beau
fort and Pamlico, he says:
I do not fear, as some Republicans
profess to do, that the Democrats, If
they have majority in the Conven-
ton, will violate the restrictions on its
powers imposed by the Legislature. I
feel myself bound to o6serUe them both
6y taa0 and by q sense of faith and
fair dealing.
What will the candidates of the
negro party, who talk SO
much about the inability of the
restrictions imposed upon the Conyen-
tion by the Legislature say to this opin-
ion of their dearly beloved Judge IF
Mr.. Rodman is not good authority in
a Radical camp then we know not who
is.
Remember when these negro party
gas about the restriction
not being binding, to ask them wheth-
er they know more law, or more Rad
calism than their Radical Supreme
Court Judge.

ARE LAWYERS BOOKS TAXED
ANOTHER FALSEHOOD
NAILED.

The address to the people of North
Carolina put forth by the State Execu-
tive Committee of the negro party
makes another most astonishing asser-
ton, as follows
"And while there is exempted but
twenty-five dollars upon agricultural
implements and the tools of mechan-
books of lawyers and other profess
ionalmen."
How much or rather how little
truth is there in the above, will be
seen from the extracts from the laws
oflast winter, which we print below.
The machinery act" as it is called, or
the act that provides for the collection
of taxes says in the ninth section, that
the list of taxable property given in by
each person shall contain,
3. The estimated value, without
specifying articles of farming utensils,
tools of mechanics, household and
kitchen furniture, provisions, arms for
muster, wearing apparel for use of
owner and family, libraries and scien-
tifc instruments.
Now this shows that the books of
lawyers and professional men are tax
able property. If, therefore, the books
of the lawyers and other professional
men be taxable property, and if by the
Revenue Act all the taxable property in
the State be taxed, it follows that the
statement made in the address of the
Committee of the negro
party is utterly untrue.
What does the Revenue Act say It
says under the head of "Class 1::'

ENEEkAL KESTON.
Put Yourself i'm his Place.
Cincinnati Gazette, /


A correspondent has this to say of
the ante 6etl,tns situation of Gen. Pres
ton of South Carolina, who delivered
the now famous philippe against the
Northern people at the University of
Virginia.:
Gen. Presto was one of the richest
men in South Carolina before the war
He owned several hundred slaves, and
his residence in Columbia was the fin.
est in the city. surrounded by three
acres of ground, III which every rare
and costly herb and plant and flower
grew; it was, so far as wealth could
make it, the ideal home. Many times
have I paused before those splendid
grounds at Columbia, glorious even in
their ruin, and thought what an en-
chanting place it must have been in
the days of Preston s prosperity. The
General is now advanced in years, his
vast estates were consumed in war,
leaving hardly vestige; his home was
broken up, and all his houses but one
swept away by flame, his nearest aud
dearest relations were slain in battle,
and he lives but to mourn and hate.
Where lost cause makes vengeance
hopeless, it naturally falls to hate and
extreme speech. Taking the opposite
into account, are Gen.
Preston's expressions more vindictive
than the North has heard against the
Southern people from haranguers such
as Wendell Phillips, Gen. Gary and
others who had lost nothing by the
war? Does he show a more vindicsive
spirit than that exhibited IN the CORES
pondence between Halieck and Sher-
man about wreaking special vengeance
on Savannah, Column bia aud all South
Carolina?
As to Gen. Preston's fanciful de-
scription OF the character and motives
Of the New En- gland Puritans, we can |
let that so with the offset the descend
ants OF the furItaus are wont to make, |
by describing the emigration to t. e |
southern colonies as made up chiefly |
IF the worthless and disreputabfe
classes, and of convicts. We may re-
that so great a statesman as
Thomas Jefferson, who had DO cause
against the people of New England,
save that nearly all of her intelligence
vas of the Federal party, wrote of the
New England people that "they are
marked like the Jews, with such a
of character as to constitute
rom that circumstance the natural
livision of our parties" And he rea-
oned further that they were SO cir
umscribed territorially that they
would always be in the minority, and
therefore, it would be possible for the
southern people to live in political
Inion with them.
Jefferson thought political union
Wilmington journal., 1875-07-23

with the New England people tolerable
only on the condition that they were
ever to be in the minority. Gen. Pres
ton thinks it into1erable because they
aud people of the same spirit i'll the
North are the strongest. Jefferson had
no provocation, save that the New Eng
land people disliked him. Gen. Pres
ton has seen the South subdued at the
end of desperate and exhaustive war,
his own State overrun by a devasta ing
army, his own town and home burned,
and his kindred sacrificed IN a vain
war. Taking the circumstances OF the
two into account, which one shows the
most vindIctive spirit?
1t is easy for those who have hot
suffered by the war to say that with
tue end of the war its passIon, should
subslde; but 1t Is not SO easy to tn:'ae
for whom war has destroyed all tnat
was not worth living tUr.
At any time i'll the W the superior
ity of our resources should have been
to us an assurance of hu IL Triumph;
yet then. and also when the triumph
was assured. W. had had NOS II few
bowling harangners straining language
III vindictlve expressions against the
Southern people. There We're few
savage imbeciles who capped the eli
max ny declaring the Southern rebel
llou the grca' est crime since the cru
citixiou. LII the passions OF the War,
when many thousands of our young
men Were slain every month, these
expressions did not greatly Jar our
sensI biiities But to General Preston
the passions of the WAL have not subsl-
ded. They have lefG hlm and his rel
atlves slain, his estate destroyed, his
home burned, his section conquered,
and his State degraded and made alien
| to him by negro rule. Abundant ecu
sure is being pronounced on him Ill
| the South, because his address will be
| quoted III the North rs Southern SEN
tlment. And 50 it is published. But
We take it as the expression of Gen.
Preston's feelings, aud We can think
how others would feel if they could
put themselves in his place.

SETTING ASIDE EVERY OTHER CONSID-
ERArIoN and looking solely aud alone
to the fact that such men us ex-Judge
Russell and ex-Judge Tourgee and 9th
er leaders of the negro party, after
failing to defeat the Convention now
seek to control it, we tind therein
ample reason to why every decent
man, every decent white man should
vote for the candidates of tie
Democratic. or white mans party. It
is a moral and mental impossinility
for such men to give the people good
advice. Since their advent into polit-
ic i life in North Carolina, they have
uniformly sided with the negro, and
against the white man. They cannot
be trusted.

To YoUR Posr.-The Raleigh Ncacs
says the campaign has begun. The
enemy is up and doing. They have
money and they are determined to re-
gain their power. Let our friends be
up also and hard at work. 1t is ne
time to play. There is danger, not of
losing the Convention only but of los
ing the state. Let our speakers be
abroad to rouse the people from apa-
thy. Let them show them the dar-
gers of their Indifference. Let them
meet the attempt to array class a gainst
class. Organize clubs, diffuse infor-
nation, reach every man in every COM
munity, and bring every man to the
polls.
The Democrats have nothing to fear
from discussion. They have the in
terests of the people and of the state
to work for. The Republicans work
to regain power and to retain office.

The "Kaspar Hauser" mystery,

brought before the public. The ly

accepted-nay, even as much as taken
into serious consideration by sensible
people but as it is fattering to the
sense of the romantic, and as there is
no other hypothesis of any worth to
be opposed to it, it found some belief,
especially among women. Since, how

lately again been forced upon the pub

They entered Vicksburg just at dark.
The two mules before the covered
| wagon leaned against each other for
support, and a man having any knowl-
edge of mules, would have said that a
lunch of scrap-irOn would have been a
God send to them. There was d big
dog under the wagon, and he looked
| around III suspicious, frightened way,
as if expecting an attack from some
| quarter.
Peeping out from the wagon was a
woman and three children. Her face
was as yellow as ochre and as sharp as
a plantation hoe, and if the children
| past, their looks didn't show it.
"We're sad family replied the
man as he returned from the grocery
with pound of crackers and a bit of

Anything bad happened" asked the
reporter.
You see that woman in the wagon
thar. Well, she weighed a hundred and
sixty pounds when we struck Lulslana,

"Wen, that is bad.
"And thar's them mules" continued
the stranger, his voice growing husky.
Thar was a time when they was
iist ole lightning; had to tie 'em up
out door for fear they'd kick the sta
bic down. They don look like it now.
but they was once able to run a plow

''You had bad luck then -
"Yes, things sot again US from the
