The History of a Newspaper.

The following statement of facts
concerning its rise and progress we
take from the columns of our much
esteemed cotemporary, the Warrenton
Gazette. We cordially congratulate
the Gazette upon the enviabIe position
it has attain ID in the ranks of North
Carolina journalism and sincerely
trust 1t will long maintain its present
prosperity and usefulness:
Since the war, the newspaper busi-
ness has been an eventful one in War
rem county. Besides the paper that
was published ut Ridgeway, eleven
different gentlemen had charge of the
Warrenton paper between the years
1866 and 1872 This made an average
of about six months that these differ.
ent gentl' en- issued the paper. In
the spring of 1872. Me, srs. Uzzell.
Woodson and Stone suspended the
Gazette and established the Raleigh
Daily NeaOs. Then, as was fir, quently
5he case before. our county was with
out paper. Indeed, SO frequent had
been changes and suspensions, our cit
izeus had become apathetic and dis
trustful. Yet many intelligent gentle
men saw the need of we'll conducted
and regularly issued county paper.
Being aware of this feeling and be-
lieviug our people, intelligent and lib
eral enough to support we'll conducted
family paper, we, in fear and tiem bling
as it were, bought the Gazette in July
1872, and commenced it's publication.
Every business man la Warrenton. as
we now recollect, and many gentle
men from the country, promised their
support. Neither having time nor op-
portunity to canvass, we issued our
first paper, July 20, 1872, with Is reg
ular subscribers. Nov our list en-
braces nearly everyintelligent man in
Warren, and mauy IN other counties and
States. So afraid were many that our
fate would be that of our eleven pred.
ecessors, that they declined paying us
for more than three mouths, while
Others waited year to test, as they
called 1T, our experiment. We agreea
bly, disappointed our friends. If we
live to see next July, we will have pub
lished the Grsette .foxa' gears, nearly as
tong as the eleven other gentlemen did.
We are painfully aware that the Gazette
IS not such paper as we desire it or
could make it, if We. had better facili
ties. If we lived in city, near a tel
egraph office or a general news centre.
we would publish different and bet
ter paper. But as it IL, many of our
friends have voluntarily told us the
Gazette would compare ftvorably will.

We have struggled hard and faithfully
to serve our people; have labored dill
igently to promote their interests, we
have never attempted to iniure any
one-on the contrary, it has ever been

power, both for onr town and county
And this shall still be our object. Our

The feeling in Mississippi in favor of
the impeachment of Governor Ames is
very strong, and what makes the Gov
ernor's case more desperate is that
there is no defense of him by his own
party. They seem to care nothing for
him; they abandon him to his fate,
without an effort to save him. Com
mittees are now at work on the case of
Ames, the Governor; Davis, Lieuten-
ant Governor, and Cardozo, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, and it is
not improbable all three will be i'm
peached The Jackson Clarion, edited
by one of the truest men and clearest-
headed politicians in the country, is
urgent in its appeals to the Legislature
to lose no time in taking that action
the outraged interests of the State so
imperatively demands. By the way,
we beg leave to congratulate our CO.
temporary upon the being re-assigned
to the position of State Printer, from
which the carpet-bag Governor Ames
so abruptly ousted him.

We are much gratified to learn as
we did by telegram published in the
JOURNAL of Sunday that there was no
longer any impediment to the perma-
nent employment of Captain James I.
Waddell in the service of the Pacific
Steamship Company. King Kalakaua's g
assurance that no arrest of Captain
Waddell would be attempted or per-
mitted was doubtless made more EN-
patio by the knowledge thai Congress-
man Waddell was a kinsman of Cap
tain Waddell, and the very natural be-
lief that he would without such assur:
ance, exercise all his influence against
the confirmation of the treaty now
pending. The difficulty about the EN-.
pIoyme MT of Captain Wadden was the
threat that if he entered Hiwaiian
waters he would be arrested for piracy
with fair prospect of prompt execu-
ton. But King Kalakaua is very anx-
ious for the treaty and Captain Wad-
dell will enter and leave his ports harm
less.

Probably the most remarkable col
lection ever taken up at a single re-
ligious gathering was that at the clos
ing meeting of Messrs. Moody and
Sankey in Philadelphia last week. NJ u.
Moody had announced at a previous
meeting that there would be collec-
tion taken up, and his hearers appear
to have come prepared to respond to
the evangelist's call for funds. The
result of his appeal was collection ag-
gregating about 800, 900. There was
also one subscription of $1,000 and a
gift Of valuable diamond ring, a gift
to the donor. for which 81 900 was re-

The last issue Of the Albemarle
Times contains an interesting letter
from it's editor now in Washington
City, descriptive of the scenes that oc-
cured during the recent debate in the
House of Representatives on the Am
nesty Bill.
Referring to the point of time when
Mr.. Blaine charged Ex-President
Davis with being a willful murderer the
letter says:
'"The excitement in the House at
this point was intense but it grew to

CONGRESS AND THE NATIONAL
BANKS


The action of the Committee of the
House of Representatives in reporting
against the passage of all bills repeal
ing the act of Congress imposing tax
of 10 per cent on the issues Of al
other than National Banks is much to
be regretted. So long as the present
National Bank system shall remain the
only means of affording the necessary
facilities for the transaction of the
business of the country in the shape of
bank currency there is little reason to
hope for a return of prosperity. The
Committee consists of the following
named members: 8. 8. Cox, of New
York, Chairman; Payne, of Ohio;
Raymond, of Indiana; Burchard, of
Wisconsin; Wike, of Illinois; Kasson,
of Iowa; Hubbell, of Michigan; Towns
hend, of Pennsylvania; Eames, of
Rhode Island; Goode, of Virginia; and
Gibson, of Louisiana. It will be seen
that eight of the eleven members of
the Committee represent Southern and
Western constituencies. We shall re-
gret to find when the bill comes before
the House for final action that these
gentlemen reflect the opinions of the
people OF the South and West gener-
ally. But when it is remembered
what the political complexion of
the .Senste is and how great is
the power and influence OF the National
Banks it may well be feared that the
day Of relief is not as near at hand as
in view of the necessities of the coun-
try it lis desirable it should be-. 4sa

La the work of excavation steadil

Iu the work of excavation steadily
progressing at Pompeii, there was re-
Gently uncovered series of wooden
tablets containing the accounts of a
banker named Lucius EccIlius Jocun-
dus. They were enclosed in a small
wooden box which had been consider
ably charred on the outer surface.
The leaves of the tablets are thin as
pasteboard, and are tied together In
sets of three by a chord passing through
holes on lhe edges. The outer pages,
serving as covers, are clean and
smooth; and the inner ones are co ted
with wax, and filed with accounts,
which appear to be mainly records Of
loans. Near the tablets was found a
bronze bust of the banker. bearing his
name. From forty to sixty men are
continually employed in the excava-
tions, under a subsidy from the gov
ernment of go, 600 francs. Up to date,
two-fifths of the area of the city has
been examined.

The call for a Republican conven-
ton to nominate President for the
Uuited States is headed with the name

a notorious political rogue, sitting dis
honestly in the Senate of the United
States-and his followers are like un-
to him, Clayton. of Arkansas; Packard,
of Louisiana; Addition. Division and

These are the men, says the New York
World, who have secured the absolute
control of the Republican party in the
United States; and the organs of the
administration are not ashamed to
proclaim that the choice of Cincinnati
as the place of meeting for the Repub-
lican convention is thought to favor
the denomination of Grant, because it
will secure the preponderance of these
particular vagabonds in the councils
of the party of ''great moral ideas"
