MR.. TiRBOy or MASSACHUSETTS,.

When Mr.. Tarbox, imported from Massa-
chuSctts to ratiiy in Tammny Hall the nomi-
nation Of Gov. 1ilden, got upon his legs on
Tuesday evening, the crowd called loudly
upon him to give it to Jim Blaine" Out Of
good taste, or because he preferred to "gve
it" to somebody else, Mr.. Tarbox let Mr..
Blaine alone, and only "gave it" as well as
he could to Gov. Hayes, of whom he kindly
said that "he did not intend to slander him,
"bccausc there was not enough of him to SLAM
"der." Mind" however, cried Tarbox, 81

respectable gentleman, doubt not; an honest
man, doubt not-only honesty isn't sufficient

ssTHE GOOD TIME COMING ;,

A hopeful view of the present bust
ness depression is taken by some OF
the leading financial journals of the
North. Their reasons for it may be
briefly summarized thus: The Cali
fornia mines in 1876 will produce
800. 600, 900 in gold; the excess of our
exports over our imports will be $7O,-
00G, GOO; we are nearly out of debt; our
economy in the past three years has
be N unparalleled; and, lastly, our
enormous crops. coupled with fail
ure in Europe, will produce a perma-
nent foreign demand. These argu-
ments, among others used, are based,
says the Savannah Morning NeUs,
upon facts which. though they may not
be entirely reliable, are, it is thought.
at least worthy of consideration.
1t is hardly possible for bust
ness matters to become worse
than they are at present, and there is
encouragement in the thought that any
change must be for the better. There
is consolation too in the fact that thus
far the South has borne the evils of the
times quite as we'll as the North, and
that her people are to day, consider
ing all the circumstances, in a better
condition, with more hopeful pros
pect of speedy recuperation, than
those of the commercial and manu-
featuring sections of the country. We
unite with our Georgia cotemporary in
urging our people to take courage then
and wait with patience for ''the good
time coming" But for all that we
very much fear that times will grow
worse before they grow better.
The liquidation of the immense in-
lividual and national Indebtedness,
put more especially that of the individ-
lal indebtedness, can lot be accom-
,lished save by reducing whole peo-
,les to poverty and suffering now that
,alues have shrunk so much. We are
low paying the penalty Of having con-
racted debts in times of initiation and
laving to meet them IN days of shrink
!ge of values.

THE ROSTON ELM ,,

The Macon, Georgia, Telegraph and
Messenger makes the following calcu
lating, heartless and irreverent CON-
ments upon the fall of Massachusetts,
sacred elm, that occurred during gale
cn the 18th inst. with crash "like
the sound of a cannon"
Our contemporary says:
The tree is believed to have been a
we'll grown elm at the original settle
ment of the city in 1870. Documents
~ evidence shows it to have been at
least one hundred years old in 1922.
It's girth at the ground was "a feet,
and Ave feet above ground it was 16}
feet. It was not q lofty tree, but it
had wide spread of branches, which
in late years were supported, in part,
by an iron fence.
It was a tree of great historical value
to the children of the Hub, having
been tor many generations not only
the trysting place of lovers, but a
place for outdoor political assem-
blages and speeches. It was al
so bloody tree. The three Quak-
ers, VIM. Robinson, Marmaduke
Stevenson and Mary Dyar, were hung
upon it for "damnable h+resy'; an In
dian captive wa' once tied to it and
put to death, and a fatal duel was
fought under it's branches.
When the tree fell municipal guard
was at once stationed 10 protect the
fallen timber, but no doubt a thousand
pulpits and writing desks, a million
chairs and tables, and two or three
million walking sticks will yet be man
ufactured out of the sacred wood, al
though the trunk of the tree was hol-
low and, as the negroes say, "doty,''
and tue quantity of sound wood in the
whole elm comparatively small. But
1t will be necessary to furnish every
true son of the Hub with what he, at
least, will assert and believe iesz piece
of the ancient elm. He can't grow old
and die gracefully without it.

a HEAVY HIT!

The letter of Mr.. Attorney Genera
Pierrepont warning Western U S. at
torneys about the use of members Of
the whisky ring as witnesses In th'
whisky trials with the hope of llgh
punishment has attracted universal con
demnation. Nowhere have we seen
word said in its defence save by Its

Neither the President nor his Attor-

CAsTEKET COUNTY

This staunch old county is in
thriving condition. The Supreme
Court convened on Tuesday of last
week and adjourned the following
Thursday, Judge McKoy presiding.
AS the taxpayers of New Hanover.
Halifax, Edgecombe, Craven and other
counties, groaning under negro rule,
read this simple announcement and
remember the seemingly intermiuable
sessions of the many courts held in
their counties, Carteret will in very
deed seem a place when "the weary
are at rest and the wicked cease from
troubling" AS the Newborn Journal
Of Commerce. truly says: sit is re-
freshing, after looking over the dock
cts of Radical counties surrounding
Carteret, and finding thereon every
species of crime in he calendar, t. go
to court in that county and note the
difference. In this Democratic strong
hold crime is almost unknown. There
were only sixteen cases all told on the
State docket, and peace warrants and
simple assaults and batteries consti-
tuted the majority of these. There
was not a single larceny case and none
of the higher crimes were represented.
This is gratifying evidence that the
people are honest"
We congratulate our Carteret friend a
most cordially upon so prosperous a
showing.

The investigators of the Post Office
Department are solving some mys
teries and bring to the light not few
transactions that have hitherto been
kept in the dark. The testimony of
George W. McLane has assisted the
work of nncovering quite materially.
In the spring of 1875 McLane was ap-
pointed to q post Office clerkship,
worked about an hour and half in the
department, and then went to Ccnnec-
ticut, where he labored for thirty
days, speaking and electioneering for
the Republican party, and drawing his
salary and all his travelling and hotel
expenses from the Post Office Depart
ment. He was the Hartford COalr-
ante distinguished General George
McLane, of Arkansas" who, at
q meeting at Willimantic, told
his hearers that Republican victories
in the North meant peace and order at
tho South, while Democratic victories
meant poverty and disorder" He
was also much disquieted about the
ssNational life" which he assumed to
be in danger. Though McLane claims
that the Postmaster General was cog
infant of all this and paid the bills,
Mr.. Jewell asserts, and the Boston
Post thinks With truth, that he was
imposed upon by this man, whom he
discharged as soon as he learned of his
service. Bat the fact remains thst the
people had to pay the Republican
electioneering bills in Connecticut just
as they have to in New Hampshire
and elsewhere.
