Some More Comments.

We clip from our contemporaries Of
the Tarboro S0utheruCr and the Polk
ton AnsOnia1a, the following extracts
from their comments on the doIngs
here during the week Of the meeting
of the Press Association:
1t WAS a most delightful reunion of
hard-worked, and, generally speaking,
unappreciated mortals everywht re eX-
cept III Wilmington. Time, trouble
and expense were not considered by
our hosts. We excurted, we danced,
we toasted. We knew before the tone,
culture and refinement that pervades
the society of Wilmington, but con-
fess that the unbounded hospitality
that seemed SO cordially rendered us
was rather greater than was expected.
We are satisfied that each editor in at
tendance Oh the occasion left highly
pleased with the city and its people,
who may rest assured this visit
among them will always be attend
ded with the pleasantest recollections
from the editorial fraternity of the
State. We shall at some future time
u yell upon the numerous advantages
offered by our city by the sea as a
commercial centre, and now conclude
with three hearty cheers for the good
people of Wilmington.
Z. S. 1t would seem rather upgal-
liant not 10 make especial mention OF
the ladies, but it must be taken for
granted that the unmarried members
were literally charmed, at any rate, we
with one in particular-but that's pri-
vate.-Southe17aer.
1t is useless to say that we had one
of the best times imaginable. We
would like to meet in Wilmington eve
ry time, but it wouldn't DO, for the
good peopleo of Wilmington would soon
rum the whole ''press gang" they
treat them SO nice. There are some
things connected with our visit we
shall notice hereafter The excursion
down to the ocean was decidedly tue
most pleasant occurrence Of the week.
At Smlthville we stopped an hour,
when the Yankee officers there got
aboard and went down with u.s. In the
language of a brother ink singer ''we
met the enemy and Cn certain way)
they were ours"-the Blue and the
Gray ''clasped hands across the 6IOOdy
chasm." Our next Governor was the
hon of the day as usual-the first
thing the Yankee officers said on get
ting aboard was " show me Vance. -
Among other toasts one offered by
the Governor was this IS The Blue
and the Gray-separate they can whip
one another-together they car liftthe
whole creation out of their boots"
Would that we had space to tell
all about the excursion, the band
some reception given us by the Will
mlngton merchants at the Produce
Exchange, tn courtesy of the Super
intendent of the @. G. Railway, our
visit to the Navaso Guano Works, and
the handsome entertainment provided
for us there, the grand Ball at the
Opera House, the - but we mast
stop, or words to that effect. "-Aa-

VIRTUE Is IT'S OWN REWARD

General Sheridan will take his
young bride out on the plains for the
wedding trip, visiting, among other
places, the famous Yellowstone River,
the rival of the Yosemite of California.
Secretary Belknap and others accom-
pany the bridal party, and General
Clusters cavalry expedition of twelve
hundred troopers will furnish the es-
cort.
Thus do we see that " virtue is its
own reward and that Republics (the
Grant Administration Republic) are
not always ungrateful. Sheridan was
sent to Louisiana by President Grant
for the purpose of enforcing the be-
hests of party over the rights of
people, and nobly did he fulfill his
commission in overriding State laws
and the rights of the common people
before the common law. The cam
paign was brief, glorious and decisive,
and will bear hand in the election of
the Democratic candidate for the Pre-
sidency next year. This New Orleans
campaign and his ride in the valley of
Virginia when a thousand barnes were
burned in the very teeth of an unarm-
ed multitude of old men, women and
children and, later, the massacre of
the Piegan Indians, has entitled the
brave and ehivalrous Sheridan to the
lasting gratitude of the party of plum
der. Behold the reward. A bridal
tripto the Yellowstone River, and an es-
cort of legion of troopers, all at the
public expense Verify, somebody
is laying mp wrath unto the day of
wrath, for himself and others.

THE GAUGE QUESTION.

On Thursday last Col. A. S. Buford,
President, and W. II. Green, Master
of Transportation of the Richmond &
Danville Railroad, were arrested by
Cyrus P. Mendelhall, esq, Major of
Greensboro, for violating the statute
prohibiting railroads from altering
their gauge. Governor Brogden and
Solicitor Strudwick were informed of
the arrest by telegraph.
The parties applied to Judge
Schenck, of the Ninth Judicial Dis
trict, for a writ of habeds corpus, as
Judge Kerr was holding Court in this
circuit, and Judge McKoy, with
whom he had exchanged circuits, had
finished and returned to his home in
Clinton.
The case came up for hearing be-
fore Judge Schenck at Charlotte on
Saturday, at chambers. The Judge
discharged the defendants on the
ground that the statute under which
they were arrested is unconstitutional
and void, and because the prisoners
were not embraced in the language of
the statute.
Captain s. A. Ashe, of Raleigh, and
Judge Marshall, of Richmond, were
attornies for the defendants.

PLUSDEfkED LOUISIANA.

In his last letter to the New York
Herald upon the condition of Louisi-
ana, MIR. Charles Nordnoff gives a very
thoroughly detailed and painfully in
teresting account of the burdens that
Cypress the citizens Of the State. In
1860 the whole expenses, contingent
and otherwise, of the Legislature of
the State, was under 100000. In
1873 it was we'll up to half million.
Last year it was smaller sum, but
still 100000 above the Comptroller's
estimate of the proper cost. In 1861
the State tax amounted to twenty-nine
cents on every hundred dollars. In
1867, the year before reconstruction,t to
thirty-seven and a half cents, and in
1874, after reaching much higher
figure, to 81 As, to which sum
it is limited by the Constitution.
In spite of this enormous tax the
State debt has trebled since 1866, and
at the beginning of the present year it
stood at $50, 597, 1896, explained in
large part by railroad, penitentiary
and other jobs. The city of New Or
leans is made to pay very large part
of the State tax. It has now a debt
or its own amounting to $50, O0O, 600,
and its tax rate has been run up 3 per
cent, while about SIT, 900, 900 of it's
bonds are worth but thirty five cents
on the dollar in the market. Mr.. Nord-
hoff concludes this painful picture as
follows I" Yet Louisiana is by nature
one of the richest States in the Union.
and New Orleans is one of the great
est commercial ports. Is it surprising
that the whole white population of the
State, except the office holders and
their relatives and intimates, united,
in 1874, in the endeavor to overthrow
a party which has SO abused it's pow
ers %

An important railroad suit has just
been decided at Auburn, N. Y, in
which William B. Torpe, of that city,
was plaintiff, and the New York Cen
trail and HudDn River Railroad Com
pany the defendant. The plaintiff set
forth that he was unable to find a seat
in any of the ordinary cars of the train
while coming from Syracuse to Au-
burn, and took seat in the Wagner
drawing room car. The conductor de-
manded extra fare from him, which he
refused. The porter thereupon eject
ed him from the car, tearing his cloth
ing and inficting some slight scrrtches,
on account of which he sued the COM
panp for 80, 900 damages. The jury
allowed the plaintiff 81, 200. Accord
ing to this decision railroad companies
are under obligations to furnish seats
for all passengers, and if they are not
to be obtained in the ordinary cars the
drawing room car may be occupied
without extra charge.

after pairing off. There was other
rascality and double dealing connected
with the decision of the Miller Martin

Glass conduct would not have avalled

potic ruling by McKinstry (in which

SIAODDY SHERMAN n.

Sherman's war book, full of glorifi-
cation of himself at the expense of
truth and justice to others, has called
forth variety Of comments from the
press. Some( the attaches 30 the cont
ills of rising greatness) see in it but
an opportunity to laud and glorify the
big hummer while others, who have
little to do in the way of political axe
grinding, do not hesitate to condemn,
in most unqualified terms. This rush
ing into print of a man whose perma-
nent military mementoes are black
track of desolation from Atlanta to the
sea and the ashes which marked his
ride through the once beautiful capl
tai of our sister State. Such is evil
IDENTITY the opinion OF the Cincinnati
Gazette, the leading Radical Republ-
can paper of the West, when it says:
The General who began his career
as commander of military district by
panic which justified thSreport that
his mind was unbalanced; who as soon
as trusted with the dispositions Of an
army in the field, sacrificed it by an
utter lack of geneIalship aud rational
forethought; who never won a victory
nor ordered an attack that was not
disastrous to his own superior forces;
but who through extraordinary favor
itism and falsehood has been rewarded
by military rank created especially
to distinguish great military genius
and great military services, has under
taken, ten years after the close of the
war, to write down the regulations of
the officers and soldiers who achieved
that for which he received the honor5
and rewards, by a pretended memoir
so wildly untruthful, SO studiously and
! cunningly preversive of The facts of
history, and SO indignantly calumni-
Gus as to maze the general reader
Even if his statements were true, the
hOnors which have been heaped upon
him, and the magnanimity which
would naturally supervene in man Y
| mind after the lapse Of such a time,
would prevent such one from writ
ing history for such G. nsorious
purpose. If the history he gives were
true, his inquest and condemnation OF
every body would be an ignoble act -
! But when to this is addei wild uu-
truthfulness, the conviction is ire
! sistlble that the mind which could do
| this did never have a moral balance,
! or has lost it altogether.

A ROYAL AMEKIC 4eN.

ROYAL IL FNs
The Emperor Francis Joseph, of
Austria, has become property holder
on Broadway, New York, under pecu-
liar circumstances. About thirty years
ago Marcus Wi, Sc, of Austria, came TO
this country aud engaged in the fancy
goods business in New York, and sue
ceeded so well that he soon amassed
fortune variously estimated at from
three to four hundred thousand dol
lars, consisting of real estate on Broad
way and United States bonds. He was
married in early life and two daugh
tiers was the result of the union. Their
home was a happy one until, in an evil
hour, the husband and father listened
to the song of the syren. Then the
wife and mother sought and obtained
a divorce. With her daughters, she
returned to Austria in 1864 The
daughters died the same year of their
return, and the mother only survived
them until 1870. In the meantime,
Weise, with his mistress, returned,
leaving his property in New York,
and resumed his allegiance to the
royal family of his native country, in
1874. A few months afterwards he
was killed by an Austrian soldier on a
train of the Moravian railroad. The
soldier was court martialed and shot
Then the crown set up a claim to the
property he had acquired. The mis-
tress of the murdered man contested
the claim, but as she could not estab-
lish legitimate marriage, the court
decided in favor of Francis Joseph,
who is thus elevated to the proud po-
sition of an American tax payer. He
is now liable to assessments for the
benefit of the American eagle, and if be
is not prompt IN making payments
will get little insight into the mys-
teries of pr@cipes against his proper
ty. But if at any tins Bismark shall
feel it incumbent upon him to depose
him, Francis Joseph can come to this
country and live a free man in free
country, and at the same time have
enough property to keep the wolf
from the door.

,Rhc Death of bishop Polk.

We could plainly see three persons
standing IL front of a lire of breast
works and larger group in the back
ground. As it was evident that they
were watching our movements, Stanley
suggested that few shots be fired to
drive them under cover. Howard sug-
gested that perhaps Bishop Polk was
IN the party, when Stanley turned to
Captain SimonsoL, his chief of artil-
lery, with the remark
Simonson, can't you unlimber, put
a shot into the group and give the
Bishop a morning salutatiOn %
"HIl try it, was Simonson's laconic
reply. And away he galloped to the
rear 4 few minutes later section of
tie Filth Indiana battery (Simonson's)
was uniim bered within twenty feet of
Us. The Lieutenant sighted the gun
aud the shot exploded over and to the
the gun had been reloaded. dismount-
ed and said Here, Lieutenant, let
NE try it, He took the range and the
messenger of death sped on its mis-
sion. Our glasses were bent upon the
group and we observed commotion
as the shot took effect in the group
that scattered to the rear. While ST.
mcnson was upon his knees sighting
the gun for another discharge, tCap-
tain Leonard, chief of Howard's Signal
Corps, sitting on his horse beside me,
read the Confederate signal and caught
the words
General Polk is killed !" With a
look Of amazement Leonard turned to
Howard aud Stanley and exclaimed:
Bishop Polk is killed"
what ?" exclaimed Howard; ''have
you interpreted the signal correctly ?"
"4es, General Simonson's last shot
killed him. They are signalling it
along the line"
The yonng men ofthe staff who were
cracking jokes instantly ceased, AID
for Il moment none spoke. Then
Howard said:
"Well, a Chris ian has fallen. Such
i war"
Just then Simonson cought the
words: Bishop Polk is killed.
He Was sighting the gun, and lifting
eyes. that glared fearfully, exclaimed:
"Wnat was that Leonard 2"
bishop Polk is killed! Your last
shot did it. They are signalling it
over the mountain, L replied.
Simonson's head dropped upon the
went" where il rested a moment.
Then, rising his eyes he excleimad:
Thank God Yesterday they killed
my dear brother; ] have killed a lieu
tenant general, and am avenged !"
Without dischargipg the piece
Sinonson arose, remounted, and
Joined the staff The enemy was SO
dem0raljzed that lie evacuated the
mountain, and half an hour afterward
We stood upon the spot where Polk
fell aud saw the ground stained with
his blood. A day or two after poor
Simonson fell, shot on the skirmlsh
line in Ackworth woods.
