DIR. sATcHwELL,s ADDRESS.

1t gives us great pleasure to lay
before our renders this week the ad-
miraDle address of DIR. Satchweli de.
livered at the last Annual Fair of the
Cape Fear Agricultural Association
held at their grounds near the city
last fall. The association showed good
taste and good Judgment in securing
this sensible paper for publication. 1t
IL true that very short time was
given for its preparation, only a week
We believe, but the writer nor the
Association have any cause to regret
that longer time was not given. The
body of the address Was the fruit of
long years of thought, study, observa-
ton and experience. For the selec-
ton of its dress, the language in which
it was to be clothed, q week was ample
time for the pen OF SD ready writer
as DIR. Satchwell has SO often proved
himself to be.
DIR. Satchwell pointed out the bot
tom facts IN the unthriving state of
affairs existing among us when he told
OF defective system of agriculture,
defective system of labor and de-
fective system of government. Nor
Was lie less fortunate i'll pointing out
the proper remedies for the grievances
he deplored. We were not a little
gratified to find that an agriculturalist
SO practical as we'll as SO scientific, APP
Ereclated so highly the advantages Of
fered to the sturdy sons of toll by our
State University as it is now con iucted.
We were not surprised at this &C.
acknowledgement on the part of DIR.
Satchweh for the special advantages
now put within the reach of the young
men In the State who desire to become
Intelligent farmersby the re-opening
OF the University on its present basis
need only to be known to be appreci-
ated. The Doctor is right in look
ing to Chapel Hill as the fountain from
which shall flow that increase of in
telligence among farmers and farmers

defects apparent in our prevailing sys.

, No man, certainly no farmer, can
read the address and fail to be bene.,
fitted thereby. for while in mere liter
airy execution it is highly creditable,
it does not consist of mere rhetorical
hourishes or fine writing alone but.
rather of appeals to the hard common
sense of the people for whom it was
Intended. 1t is a practical address
Intended for practical men and in
aothing is it's practical chara cter

THE ..NAEE RURGLARx.v

In order that our readers may I'M
derstand more fully the references in
the Washington kilograms to the Safe
Burglary" we print the following ac~
count of that infamous transaction as
We find it in the New York Herald:
when a committee of Congress
began some years ago to investigate
the frauds and thefts of the Washing
ton improvement Ring, the influential
persons concerned, whom a discovery
would have ruined, stopped at nothing
to prevent it. The committee had,
fortunately, help from some OF the
honest and most substantial citizens
of Washington, chief among whom
was Mr.. Columbus Alexander, gen.
tleman~ who has. shown remarkable
pertinacity and ability in his long pur-
suit of the Ring. It was, we believe,
at MIR. Alexander's suggestion that the
committee required the leading men
of the Ring to produce books in which
the course and cost of the city improve
ments were set down, and who pointed |
out, when q set of books were pro.
duced, that these were false and that |
the genuine books were still concealed, |

Alexander, by duplicating him in what |
would have the appearance of crimi- /
nal act. A spy was sent to Mr.. Alex
ander, who told him that the real
books were in safe in the Office of the
District attorney, and that if he would
pay a certain sum of money the office
could be entered, the safe broken open
and the books handed over to him.
Mr.. Alexander replied that he would
have nothing to do with such trans
action, and this little plot failed. The
plan of entrapping him, however, had
been formed, and ives not 80 easily
abandoned. Two burglars had been
hired, and other preparations made,
and SO the spy was. again sent to Mr..
Alexander with a simple proposition

\ BrIcf but Crushing ISefutatiOD
OF the ISLANDERS Against HIM.
To the People of North Carolina:
Charges have been made against me
which call for reply.
It is charged that,as Superintendent
of Public Instruction., I have squan-
dered the school money. And it is
also charged that I have squandered
the Peabody fund, and thereby rob-
bed the poor children of the State of
an education.
Iii reply to the first allegation, have
to say that the law does not put the
disbursement of the public school
money in my hands. I have never
disbursed one cent of it. That fund is
discussed by the State and county
treasurer; 1 have nothing whatever to
do with It.
AS to the second charge. It is no
part of my official duty to have any
thing to do with the PEABODY. fund.
That fund is not public money belong
ng to the State. The State has
nothing whatever to do with it, nor
its disbursement. DR.. Sears, of Vir-
ginia, is the general agent of that
fund, and am an agent of his to dis
burse it under his directions. / re-
-ceived from him the past year for
Peabody schools $14, $50, and paid out

under his order $l2. 600. Not school,
not a teacher, not a child in North
Carolina has suffered any detriment or
lost anything at my hands or manage
ment. Every teacher entitled to re-
ceive anything out of that fund has
long since been paid, except one whc
holds an order for q small amount
which be paid on presentation.
There are, hoNever, two other schools
claiming pay out of this fund, but am
not authorized to pay them anything
under the established rules.
The present school year will expire
on the 3Oth of June. When it closes
and am called to account with DR..
Sears, will settle with him fully
promptly and TO his satisfaction.
