Political Murders in North Carolina.


Few, if any persons, who have watched the
course of recent events Will be surprised to see
members of Congress from North Carolina all
portion of the Democratic press of this State en-
deavoring to produce the impression that no polti-
cal murders have been committed in this state. II
of history, that Mr. Frye of Maine was not so well
informed OH this subject rs every Republican should
be. The most superficial acquaintance with the
history OF events In North Carolina since 1865 would
have enabled him to refresh the memory of Mr..
Davis and Mr. Steele In reference to some transnc.
tions which they would fiin have the people of the
United States believe have never happened. He
could have reminded Mr.. Davis of the murder of
the Morrow negroes which was committed in Or.
ange County in the district which Mr.. Davis now

so defective the treatment of state Senator Shon
ner, who was permitted to live only on the condi

He could have brought before his vision suddenly
become imperfect the revolving sight of the MUIR
dered outlaw hanging to q tree in the streets OF
Graham on that bright sunday morning. He might
have called his attention 10 the inhuman murder
of stephens in the Courthouse in Ianceyville
while Democratic convention was i'll session in
the same house. All of these murders, and other
outragcs too numerous TO mention, occurred IN the
counties Immediately adjoining Mr. DAVIS district.

Gus Others, in the county of Rutherford, for which

the mere mention of outrages perpetrated upon Re-

political opinons--outrages which have been lully
established not only by what credible witnesses
have told, but also by that which distinguished
judges and high state officials positively declined
TO tell when the question was put to them directly.

IsIr HISTORY OR FICTION?

The Congressional Record is a luxurious
institution of Congress, which costs its cool
100000 year land that is n moderate
figure for reporting and printing its pro-
ceedings and debates. This vast sum of
money ought to secure faithful truthful
and honest history Of what Congress says
and does. That it does not afford such n
result is made apparent in each issue. That
the reporters are faithful and put in copy
for the printer rerJdtim report Of all that
is said and done there can be no doubt
They are honorable and faithful men, who
discharge their duties with a scrupulous re-
gard for accuracy. The printer would print
" the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
" but the truth" if left to perform his part
of the service without interference, and the
country would get just that and nothing
else if left free to discharge his duties with
fidelity. If history is falslied, and the coun-
try is informed by the Record that Senator
or Member says what in truth he did not
say, the fault is neither with the reporter
nor the printer, unless either or both have
the power to protect the fidelity of history
by preventing changes of the text after the
copy of the Record has been prepared by
the stcnographer
Repeated instances have occurred of late
in which, under subsequent discussions, it
has been made apparent that the history OF
debate has been ialsifed in the Record, and
that, too, by the interposition and dictation
of Senators and Representatives, who, upon
reflection, shrink from facing their real ut
terances on the page Of history. We are
not disposed to allege that statesmen of one
political party are any more obnoxious to
this charge than those Of the other, for all
alike, with few honorable exceptions, have
sinned and gone astray in this regard. But
that fact in no degree strips the Record Oi
the fraud tnat is known to DE perpetrated
upon the country at its own and at enor-
nous expense. We say fraud, because il
it is, in fact, deception, trick;
q subtlety, an imposition, and cheat that
has been practiced upon conllding pub
lie. 1t is a perversiOn Of fact and sham, iol
the reason that a statesman utters speech
among his peers in the forum, and when tho
history of that effort is published to Tho

THE gold and silver mining States are not
at all pleased with Mr. RANDALL's compost
ton of the Committee on Mines and Mining
The people in those States declare that there
is not a man on the committee that knows
a mine from mill site. The Speaker seems
to have made up this committee while look
ing into coal crate, where the only things
visible were coal and iron. The new dis
coverics being made in the West of gold and
and silver, aud the peculiar character and
formation of the veins and deposits, will GER
tainly call for new legislation, and yet the
men who are TO decide upon this legislation
are taken from Illinois or the Southern
States, where no such veins or deposits are
found. The Speaker made up his commit
tee by putting upon it every man who
knows nothing about the subject and eX-
Guiding every man who represents mining
State in the House. 1t is an outrage; but
we presume that there is 10 help for it.

ALL THE WAX MEASURES.

The effort that Mr. BLACKBURN has made
TO set himself right before the country,
when calmly considered, does not seem ma
tcrially to change the aspects of his case
lie has quarreled with his peers on the
floor of tho House because they have taken
him at his word as they understood him,
and have not interpreted his remark i'll pre-
ciscly the way that he leigns to desire it
should be understood. TO give that gentle
man the full benefit of his say as he now
contends it was uttered, but which has evil
dontly passed through the hands of the doc
tor, we copy from pamphlet edition of his
effort as revised and corrected by himself,
and here it is:
We do not intend TO stop until we have
stricken the last vCstigc of your war measures
from the statute book, which, like these, were
born Of the passions incident to civil strife and
looked alone to the abridgment Of the liberty
of the citizen.
This is not precisely as it was spoken
originally; but no matter, even this pre-
sentation does not disarm the uttcrance of II
meaning such as his first words conveyed.
He must allow the people TO interpret this
remark so MS to get at its fair implication.
lit means anything it means just what it
says that the Democrats do not intend TO
stop until they have stricken the last vcStigc
of the existing war measures from the
statute book, which, like the electoral laws
| and the kindred measures relating thereto,
were born of the passions incident to civil
strife, and looked alone TO tue abridg-
ment of the liberty of the citizen We
notice that Mr. BLACKBURN has failed TO
advise the country just what war measures
he did refer to, il not toall, that grew out of
the civil war, for the South contend that
the laws of emancipation abridge
the liberty Of the people TO hold
| slaves. The laws comforting citizen
ship upon the freedman abridges the liberty
of the white citizen TO control the political
affairs of the South TO suit his own idea OF
right, Were it otherwise war of oppres.
sion, ostracism, and determination would
not have been waged upon the colored cti'
zen on account Of his attempt to exercise
the rights OF citizenship according to thC
dictates of, his own conscience.
The laws of reconstruction, without an
exception named by the Democrats were
war measures, born of the passions of civil
strife, and are regarded at the South as
abridgmeuts OF the liberty Of the citizen in
some way. And so were all the measures oI
any importance that were the issues of the
war, born of the passions incident to ciyi
strife, until Mr.. BLACKBURN, the author
of this sublime and patriotic idea shall pro
claim to the world just what measures are
exempt from his uninterrupted edict Wher
he shall put upon record q list Of the law
by name that he proposes to spare with (
pledge that The list shall not be revised a
his pleasure then the public may be able tc
judge TO what extent his war of extermina
tion is to be pursued in the heat Of Demo
cratic wrath. Without definite exception!
it is not unfair to conclude that he includes
"all the war measures" in his pronounced
| sentence of death.

world, it is not precisely the speech that
he made, but an aftcrthought that is palmed
upon the public as faithful record of his
uttcrances.
This fact involves grave cause of COM
plant and one which should be respected
by all honorable men, and more especially
by statesmen who have been preferred for
their eminent abilities and sterling integ-
rity MS men of honor and probity to man
age public affairs The people look to them
for high examples Of integrity, and when it
is known that they are in the habit of prac-
ticing dcceptions upon public credulity
they inevitably fall into discrcdt
when their shams are exposed. Public
confidence is obrascd by such performances
and the integral power of the Government
is weakened just in proportion as public re-
spect is forfeited aud withdrawn from those
who have been intrusted with the making
of the laws and the administration of public
affairs.
One thing is apparent, the Congressional
Record should be made faithful reflex of
the history Of Congress and its proceedings
and debates, or it should be abandoned rs an
expensive piece of fiction and its vast cost of
millions should be saved to the taxpayers,
whose burdens are none too light Mt best, in
providing for this governmental machine of
ours in all its vastness. We therefore, in
behalf of deceived and oppressed people,
call upon Congress TO revise these fraudulent
practices which are known TO exist in the
makeup of the history of its proceedings
and debates, and make that record strictly
truthful and honest, or abandon it as
a discreditable deception upon public
credulity. One thing or the other
must be done for the credit of the National
Congress. A few days since sad confess
sion of this fraudulent practice was made on
the floor of both Houses by ordinations
and rccriminations relating to them, which
were admitted TO be well founded. Sena-
tors and Representatives own up to the
practice of these deceptions, and the time
has come when halt should be called, and
the future should be faithfully guarded
against them. A joint rule adopted by both
Houses providing that nothing shall be
printed in the Congressional Record that does
not transpire in open session, and nothing
shall be changed after it shall have trans
pired with the reporters and becomes n mat
ter of recorded history. Such rule, faith
fully observed, would remedy existing evils
and afford the country a faithful history OF
the proceedings and debates of Congress. If
this cannot be accomplished then let the
work be suspended, and the expense of {
fallacious record be saved TO the taxpayers
