Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1876-05-26

Engelhard from the editorial staff of
that paper. This announcement is a
sad commentary on the profession of
journalism in the Southern States.
Here a talented, high-toned and con-
scient;ous gentlemen has spent the
best years of his life in the drudgery
OF a newspaper office to find himself
poorer than when he commenced.
The JOURNAL and Engelhard are
almost synonymous terms. To say
simply that we regret to see them
severed, is too commonplace an ex-
pres. ion. What we feel under the
circumstance toward so valued friend
to ourseif and to those whose memory
is dear to US, We would say to him and
not to the public.
tFrom the Charleston News and Courier
We trust that the retirement of Mai.
J. A. Engelhard from the editorial
management of the Wilmington jour
NAL will not cause the Old North State
to lose, at this evenNul time, the
services of journalist so capable, pa
triotic and experienced. Maj Engel-
hard, i'll journalism, had high ideal,
and faithfully acted up to i.

MAI. ENGELHARD.
This mornings Journal contains
the valedictory of Maj. J. A. EngeI-
hard, for ten years past the Senior
Editor of that venerable daily. We
do not know bis plans for the future,
but trust that he may be successful Ia
whatever he may undertake. He has
been one of the most earnest, faithful
and indefatigable workers in the
Democratic party. not only in the
sanctucl, but on the hustings, and not
only for the party in the city and
county, but in the State at large.
Certainly if any man in North Carolina
deserves we'll of his party, that man is
Joseph A. Engelhard, and we trlst
that he may yet receive some OF the
recognition to which he is so emf
nently entitled.
From the Washington Echo
Tie Wilmington JOURNAL Of Tues
day contained the v&ledictory of Maj.
J. A. Engelhard, who has been for ten
years it's leading editor and on of the
former projectors. Major E9gelhard
has been one of the most earnest, faith
full aud interchangeable workers in the
Democratic party, not only in the sane
tIln. hut on the hustings, and we re-
greet to lose his pen in the columns of
the JOURNAL. We hope, however, that
the press of North Carolina will not
long leave him unemployed, and that
he may soon find pleasant field for
his good labors elsewhere.

Major Engelhard has been for the

MAJOR ENGELHARD.
1t is with sincere regret that we read
this gentleman's card announcing his
withdrawal from the editorship of the
Wilmington JOURNAL. |
In the darkest as well as in the |
brightest hours of the party's history,
ever true, free and fearless; sacrificing |
much and working all the time zeal~ |
ously and effectively. he deserves more |
than he has received at the hands of |
the Conservative-Demo of North |
Carolina.

Maj. J. A. Engelhar6 has retired |
from the editorial staff Of the Will

at the helm for the princi-
piles of Democracy, truth and justice

the hands of the party.

dAJ. ENGELHARD AND THE WILMINGTON
JOURNAL.
We regret that Major Engelhard has
'een fit to sever his connection with
he Wilmington JOUREAL. The JOUR-
VAL has for years ranked among the
lblest, if not the very ablest paper in
he State. 1t is the Oldest daily in the !
State, and has ever battled with zeal
,xcelled by none and an ability
qualed by few, for the interest of its ,
ection, its party and the State. We :
rust the services Of the Major will not !
,e lost to journalism in the State. He :
las iabored faithfully and efficiently,
lis only reward being a consciousness
f having SO done, coupled with the
Of hosts of friends. His :
york was not wholly confined to the
anctum, but on the stump as we'll his :
ervices to his people and his party
7ere valuable. We sincerely regret .
he circumstances that for awhile even
oses us this well informed politician 9
nd journalist. We can poorly afford
!, at'this tune especially.
