DEATH OF MAJOR JOHN H. GEE

Few men haYe ever enlisted the
sympathies of North Carolinians in a
greater degree because of most unde-
Served indignities and unmerited
sufferings than did DIR. John 81. Gee
of Quincy, Florida. DIR. Gee, it will
be remembered, was at one time dur
ing the war in command of the Post at
Salisbury, and in consequence of
charges of cruelty to Federal prison
ers was tried by Federal Court Martial
in Raleigh after the surrender. A
soldier, gentleman and q patriot, it
is now pleasant to remember that dur
ing the long. weary days of his i'm
prisonment he received all the kind
ness and attention from our people
that it was in their power to bestow.
Our sister State has lost a gallant
officer and good citizen. one whose
memory will long be dear to North
Caroliniaps.
From the Tallahassee Floridian.1
/ A fire occurred in Quincy on the
afternoon of Saturday last which de-
stroyed the store and warehouse of E..
p. Dismukes, insured for 81 600. the
village bakery and candy store and
stable of Mr.. Charles Gareiss. The
latter had no insurance on his prop
erty. The most melancholy feature
connected with the fire was the death
of DIR. John RI. Gee, one of the first
citizens of Quincy and most slsillful
physician, which was caused by his
great anxiety to arrest the spread of
the flames. The DR.. had placed a keg
of powder in Dismukes' warehouse for
the purpose of blowing up the build :
ing, hoping thereby to save the store
The explosion not taking place as soon
as expected and supposing that the
fuse had gone out, he entered the
building, when Immediately thereafter
the explosion followed. The Doctor
was seen groping about. with his beard
and clothes on fire, but was not again
seen until the following morning when
his blackened remains were found
burnt into a scarcely distinguishable
mass. Thus has perished, in the
flower of manhood, a gentl .man of
high cul ure and esteemed by all who
knew him. He held the rank of Major
in the Confederate service, and at the
close of the war was tried by Federal
court-martial ON the false charge of
cruelty to prisoners confined at Sails
bury and under his charge, but was
acquitted. His shocking death will
bring pain to many heart.

The interest in the Constitutional
amendments is not confined to the
Eastern portion of the State, but is
felt In every section. The Greensboro
Patriot publishes a series of appoint
ments for public meetings in Guilford
in which the leading subject. for dis~
cussion will be- the importance of rati-
flying the amendments. We have no
fear that the amendments will fall be-
hind our ticket anywhere if our friends
will only take the trouble to tell the
people what are the changes proposed
to be made in the Constitution. We
have nothing to fear from the fullest,
freest discussion. Our candidates and
our platform can stand any amount of
investigation the people may desire to
subject them to. Firmly fixed in the
principles of truth and justice the
Demoor attic party fears nothing.

Eight years ago and four years ago
the Republican party made the people
pledges of Reform, the same as they
make them now, but not a single
promise has been redeemed. On the
contrary, things have been going from
bad to worse. And eight years ago
and four years ago the Radical party
pursued the same course of threaten
ings and intimidation it is now pur-
suing. But this time it is all CANNON.
The civil law is now supreme and the
writ of Habeds Corpus is no longer
exhausted. Settle is no longer Judge.

Radical newspapers may assail the
Democratic House as much as they
choose. but they cannot get over the
fact that, though opposed at every
step by the Radicals, and hindered by
the extravagant Radical Senate, they
have yet saved about thirty millions
in the appropriations. This is some-
thing on which they can proudly go
before the country.
Reducing the whole to nutshell.
we find that the totals of twelve ap-
preparation bills show a reduction of
$29. .944, 252 compared with last year,
when the sum was $148;155, 124. The
whole amount appropriated this year
by the twelve bills. is $l18, ,21O,872, as

TIE GAME OF m.ITIT IS "
IS BLUFF,


We don't know whether Don Came
ron ever sat at the feet of Poker
Schenck or not, but certain it is that
in his management of the War De-.
partment he seems to have borrowed
an idea or two from that sportive pass
time. with ffty-two bits of glazed
pasteboard, which cur late minister at
the Court of Sc. James describes as
peculiarly the national game of
Americans. His manifesto to General
Sherman, which the newspapers of
the country had the honor of printing
yesterday morning. is all '''bluff," but
it does not alarm anybody down here.
We are not at all afraid of U3ited
States soldiers. We are not going to
fight them. and they are not going to
fight us. And the War Department
cannot carry any elections worth
speaking about this year at the point
of the bayonet. That game has been
played until it is played out. Do not
bluff too high or too hard, Mr.
Cameron, lest the Northern voter un-
expectedly call you, and find you hold
ing ii short hand.

In 1870 and 1884 much the larger
portion of the German vote was cast
on the side of the republicans and gave
that party the control of most of the
States named. Happily. a ''change
has come over the spirit of their
Dream" and daily evidences are being
afforded that the Western Germans
are fast wheeling into line with the
Germans of the Eastern States for
TiIden and reform: aat eG5
From the above table it will be seen
that the Germans hold the balance of
power in Illinois. Indiana, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Wis
consln, and thus can control eighty.
two electoral votes which were cast
for Grant in 1872, and which. from
present appearances, will be given for
the democrats this fall. These with
the Southern vote cast for Tilden, will
secure his election without even New
York. Connecticut, New Jersey and
the Pacific States, which are certainly
for him.

In the struggle over these reduc-

and Radical Senate. the House was
compelled to yield to the extent of ten

if the Democrats had not been

Mtt. SCOTT s.sbsiD,S R RESOLUTION
The following is the resolution
introduced into the House of Repre-
sentatives by Mr. SCOTT Lord Of New
York and passed by that body.
"Whereas the right of suffrage pre-
scribed by the constitution of the
several States is subject to the fifteenth
amendment of the Constitution of the
United States, which is as follows:
s'ARTIoLE XIV.
"Section /. The right of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied Or abridged by the United
States Or by any State on account of
race, color or previous condition of
ssrvitude.
"Section 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by apprO-
pirate Legislation"
And whereas the exercise of the right
of suffrage SO prescribed and regu
lated should be faithfully maintained
| and observed by the United States
and the several States and the citizens
thereof; and whereas it is asserted that
the exercise of the right of suffrage
is in some Of the States, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of all good oiti.
| zens to the contrary, resisted and con
| trolled by fraud, intimidation and vio-
| lence, so that in such cases the object
of the amendment is defeated; and
| whereas all citizens, without 1istinc.
| tion of race or class or color, are en-
titled to the protection conferred by
such article; therefore
BE at ResOtUe6 by the House of Rep
resertatiUes, That all attempts by
force, fraud, terror, intimidation, OF
otherwise, to prevent the free exercise
| of the right of suffrage in any State
| should meet with certain condign, and
effectual punishment; and that in any
Case which has heretofore occurred, cl
that may hereafter occur, III which vi
olence or murder has been or shall b,
committed by one race or class npon tho
other. the prompt pro ecution anG
punishment of the criminal or crimi
mails in any court having jurisdiction
is imperatively dem anded, whether
the crime be one punishable by fiji e OF
imprisonment ur one demanding Tho
penalty of DEATH"
1t will be seen from the above how
absurd is CRAFTS pretence that it lusti
fies the use of Federal troops during
the campaign now pending. 1t is true
that Mr. Lord made an ass of himsel
by introducing the meaningless reso-
luton but Grant is worse than an asl
for claiming that it iustifes him in
resorting to military force.

We print below the concluding por-
tion of an address delivered in Oxford,
North Carolina, ON the 18th of July by
'FHEoDoRE B KINGsBuRY, who has
kindly sent it 10 us in advance of it's
regular publication Tue address was
hist orical o - and in the main an
original contribution to local and State
history and on that account deserves
publi cation in some substantial form.
If others would follow Mr.. Kiugsbnry's
example and make contributions to
the historical lore of our State from
hitherto unpublished material North
Carolina would enjoy far pronder
position before tho world than the one
she now occupies. OF the literary exe
cellenc.. OF any production nf a gentle-
| man of snch high culture as Mr..
| kingsbury it ID needless for rs to
| speak, even if we were competent.
| That portion Of the address which we
print speaks for itself. We doubt If
its author even has often written as
well, and in these days of hurried,
slovenly writing il is a rare pleasure
to read paper that shows in such
| degree the canning handiwork OF ii
master artist. We shall await with
impatience the publication OF the en-
tire address:

"UP or DOWN" -.

Rev John hall, OF the Fifth avenue Presbyterian
church. delivered free lecture last evening at the
Workingmen's Free Reading Room, at No. lsS Green
wich street. AS on the occasion OF the Doctors pre-
vous lectures this place. the hall was crowded to its
full capacity His arrival the signal for loud aud
prolonged applause Mr. Hawley, In introducing Mr..
Hail. d"I have no reason 10 introduce 10 you our
old friend Dr. Hail all OF you know him and know that
he is your Christian friend - Mr. Hall then com
menced his address, which lasted over an hour. The
theme chosen the suggestive one OF up or
Down. He described with graphic language the
various estates and the causes or their success
or their reverses He dwet upon the type OF people
who grew rich suddenly and told how people paid rapt
attention what they said as II they we're oracies;
also upon the OF people who have been rich and
whose opinion not quite so much considered; like
wise that class whose common sense views gain
their respect irrespective Of position wealth These
classes said the lecturer, belong to the "ups In the
intend 10 go up DOWN. The lecturer then dwelt on
the better life, led by men, how they eschew the
prevailing vices of tobacco, LIQUOR entangng assoca
tions with male and female tempters or temptresses
The extreme pictures of good and bad men were de-
picted in glowing terms and listened 10 mid the most
perfect silence In conclusion the popular preacher
held out to his hearers the gores Of everlasting life
and happiness in Ch1st's kingdom they would bear
his and show themselves worthy soldiers OF their
Saviour on earth When DR. Hall left the lecture room
he again loudly applauded, and his hand was
shaken by large number OF his hearers.
