IT required two years. time and much
labor on the part of Samuel ]. Tilden
and Charles O'Conor to unearsh the pee
ulations and frauds of the Tweed gang.
They were representative men of the
dominant party Of New York city, yet
they did not finch from investigating
and furnishing the men who corruptly
controlled local politics. No leading Re-
publicans in Philadelphia of character
and means undertake a similar mission,
and devote themselves in determined
spirit to break up the desperate clique
controlling the politics and finances Of
that city.

The Democratic party organs love to
yell in the ears of Republicans, Carpet
baggers" are thieves and rascals. The
Republican party takes the high ground
that no man born within the pale of the
United States, or naturalized under its
laws. is any more a "carpet-bagger" in
the State of Louisiana or Ohio than if
born within the bounds Of either State.
That man is as we'll born in one town
ship as another, in one county as anoth-
er, In one State as another, and in one
country as another. Any other theory
is false, anti-Republican and base tyran-
ny upon human rights. Carroll Free
Press.
But what base farce upon human
rights" for men to secure the control of
State by force, and have their homes in
other States. By their robber schemes
they robbed those States of millions and
millions. Now does the Free Press en-
dorse these operations? This is the
question. m4

We look 10 the settlement Of this great

ana we hope that what you have suggest
ed NAV so forth to the world prepared to
have its influence in directing public at
tention to that great question, causing
every man to ponder upon 1t, 10 see the
extent IN which it reaches him and his
interests. his children's interests, and the
country's interests, and thst so each man,
considering it in its relations 10 himself,
ard thus comparing ii to Its great rels-
tions with the great intere Is of the coun-
try. will see that. AS labor is the creator
of all wealth, labor should be protected
by sound and wise laws, and that, for the
settlement of questions involving prime
ples Of labor and cspitsi, the best intelli
cence of the country should be invited
and invoked, and that out OF such in
yitations NAV come considerations that
will lead to the enactment OF laws refer
ring the questions of labor and capital,
where they come in contact, perhaps TO
boards of arbitration that may ascertain
precisely the questions involved as be-
tween the lsborer and the capitalist by
suggesting, in words of courtesy, wisdom,
and sound advice, remedial measures for
the accomplishment that may settle-as
We always settled in this country-great

THECAPTURE OF JEFF DAVIS.
A statement From His COIored Coach
man VINO Was Present,

From the Rsleigh N. C) News. GAL
SoOE after the close OF the civil war IN
1865, when Generals Lee and Johnston
had surrendered 10 the United States
forces, q good deal was said much of 1t
islse-in regard to the capture of Jetier-
son Davis, President OF the CCntederacy.
Sool alter his capture James ii. Jones,
a,colored man who WAS with Mr.. Davis or
ms family durin- nearly the whole time
OF the war IN the capacity OF coschmau,
and who WAS with him when he was
taken prisoner In Georgia, furnished II
statement OF mis- capture. Recently
request has been made TO gentlemen OF
hlgh standing in this city to procure
from James II. Jones statement OF the
whole matter, which he has given, and
which we are permitted to copy, rs be.
low. But before giving the statement
we will take occasion 10 say that the au-
thor is q native of this city and stands Ms
high as any cOlored man in the state for
truth and integrity. he is and has been
for ten years captain OF the Victor Fire
Company of tins city, and was until his
resignation recently, captain OF the Ral.

nearly all through the war, and was
with him AT the time OF his capture,
which occurred on the 10th OF May, 1860
between three and four o'clock In the

road. | heard the tramplng OF the

in the camp, and awoke Mr.. DAVIS and

He and his wife had been sleeping IN
their tout. When | went IN he got up,
aad by the time he got his clothes on the

twelve OF them were standing at hS

| could pass in or out. Mrs. Davis and

| Mr.. DAVIS went TO the tent door and WAS
ordered by the soldiers to surrender.
He replied that he would not; that ne
would die first. At this Mrs. Davis
dressed 10 her husband and put her
arms sr.uld his peck, begging the SOL
diers not TO kill him, both she and the
children crying prteou'ly.
ut has been stated that MIR. DAVIS had
