General Sherman Declines.

SALISBURY, N. ", Oc)I. I'D.
In response to an invitation to attend
proposed grand reunion of the survi-
vOrs of the Federal and Confederate ar
mics, TO take place here on the 23d OF
October next, Gen. w. r. Sherman re-
plies as tollows:-
The time is too remote for me to
make promise, but assure you that it
would be most agrceble to me personally
and socially to meet you on any suitable
occasion. There is no use in my mincing
terms. Whenever and wherever the hon
est men of North Carolina meet to allay
sectional and party animosities and to cul-
tivate fellings of fraternity and respect for
their fellow citizens of the United States
it will be to me most tempting to come.
TO Salisbury I would far prefer to come
alone than as before, with vast army,
leaving desolation behind. But I must
not be construed as asserting to the
proposition that Confederate men and
Union men were alike worthy Of cele-
bration for the terrible history Of lS6I-65.
l would much profor to come on some
civic occasion when all arc absolutely
equal, all alike interested in tho present
and future glory of our common couu-
try.
North Carolina during the war; though
We believe the people were generally OPP
posed to secession and the war, SO that
YOUR meeting, if confined to surviving
soldiers of North Carolina, will bo in
fact q Confederate reunion, where |
would certainly be out of place. All
soldiers in their social reunions glorify
their deeds Of heroism; and this reunion
will hardly bo an exception, and it would
be strange sight for General Sherman
to cheer the victories OF his enemies and
rcspond to the claim that because tho
soldiers of North Carolina were brave
and true to their State and section their
cause was as sacred rs ours, which final
ly triumphed and made our Union moro
glorious and more resplendent than be-
fore. Wero I present and you should
suppress this natural feeling, would
feel myself an intruder, marring. tho ma
tural happiness of a festive occasion.
l know that tho soldier element wero
the first to lay aside the angry partisan
feelings Of tho war, and arc now leaders
in the new epoch which is sure TO aaa
wealth and prosperity to our whole
country, and when somo occasion arises
when we may all meet on common
ground in North Carolina, to celebrate
Some revolutionary event or to encour-
age some modern enterprise, il will give
me great pleasure to come to Salisbury,
to Raleigh, to Guilford Court House,
or any other place in the old North
State.
Lieut.. Gen. P. II. Sheridan politely de-
clined an invitation on account OF othcr
pressing engagements, but warmly cX-
pressing himsclfi in favor OF the success
of tho movement. The managers of the
proDoscd reunion have extended invita-
lions to all the surviving officers and SOL
dicrs of both armies who choose to come.
The reunion is to bo solely with view
to reconciliation and has no political sig
nificance.

During the past week severe financial
reyerses have befallen prominent capi-
talists in Charleston. The banking
house of James Adger & Co., has failed
with liabilities reaching two million dol
lars, and by its failure has involved the
firm of J. E. Adger & Co., dealers in
hardware, &C., to such an extent as to
necessitate suspension of their business,
besides one or two smaller business
houses. These disasters have produced
q shock to the business of Charleston
not equalled by anything there since the
panic of 1878. The houses involved in
these troubles are all composed Of excel
lent gentlemen, whose reverses will be
everywhere regretted, not only on ac-
count of the injury to business which
will result from it, but also on account
of the losses which the individual men,
bers of the several firms have sustain

The New York World gives the fol.
lowing advice to the South, which must
commend itself to the people of this Sec
ton as both sensible and expedient:


commend itself to the people of this Sec
tion as both sensible and expedient:
The Northern Democracy are to be as
sailed as the upholders and defenders of
an alleged cruel and coercive policy of
the Southern Democrats in respect to
dealing with the negroes as citizens, as
voters and as laborers. In the face of
such an impending contest at the North
it will not do for the South merely to
protest that it has no policy to present,
but must stand still to act as an umpire
between the East and the West, should
they disagree. Let the Southern States
understand that they are self-governing
States under the Constitution and then
let the ''solid South" prove what its civ
ilization at home is to be, and what doc
trines about free elections, finance, tax
alton and public economy its people will
uphold. Since the Stalwarts will have it
that "a solid South" dictates to the
Northern Democracy, let the "solid
South" accept the situation and put out
its flag plainly and boldly, in order that
the independent voters of New York
may see for themselves what it is that
the South seeks and will virdicate.
General Chalmers, of Mississippi, in his
Union soldier and lover Of civil liberty
as General Hancock is his first choice for
the Presidency, sets up standard in our
columns to-day which we do not think
will terrify the business men and the
right-minded voters of the North.
In agreeing with this advice from the
World, we hope the South will prepare
to go into the Convention solidly for
Senator Bayard for President, and Gen
eral Hancock for Vice President. Let
us have policy and advocate it solidly,
provided that policy is wise and judi
cious one. The South is part of this
Union, and as such has right to q
policy of its own. 1t is the conservative
section of the government, and its policy
is such as to commend itself to every Sec
tion of our common country, if it were
only understood. 1t is our duty to our.
selves and to our country to advocate our
policy, that it may be understood and ap'
preciated by the whole Union.

mo. The question that will be all-im-

national banking system is so much supe-
rior to any State or private banking system
that the country has ever enjoyed that it
will not be ready to give it up, no matter
how much it may be attacked by politicians.
If it were abolished State banks would
spring up all over the country. because
some banking system is necessary to the
wants of the people, and every system ex-

AN INTERVIEW WITH HAYES.
He Talks About tho Political Future
Grant, Satlated with Honors, not Likely
to be u Presidential Aspirant.
c,xcrvx,rr Sentember "a. 1870


A correspondent had short talk with
the President to-day on the political future,
and first asked III regard to the occupancy
of the Presidential seat, and particularly OF
Grants prospects.
"Gen. Grant will soon be back again in
this country. Do oyou think, Mr.. President,
he will be candidate for the Presidency
for the third term?"
IT don't think he is seeking renomina-
ton or desires it. Gen. Grant has enjoyed
the highest honors the country could be-
stow on one of her citizens, and think he
is not desirous of having them repeated.
He was undoubtedly the ableSt General the
war produced. His management of the
armies under his control closed the war OF
the rebellion. After that he was made
General of the Army, and then twice cleo
ted to the Presidential chair. Since his re-
tirement from the Presidential Office he has
travelled abroad extensively, and every
where he has received attentions of the
most gratifying kind, such, in fact, as no
American citizen ever received in foreign
countries before. All this must be extreme
ly pleasing to Gen. Grant, and l doubt
whether he would be willing to enter into
another contest for office. have no infor-
nation from him, but / believe that he
would much prefer to take some repose,
keeping out Of politics for the present"
TILDEN's CHANCES.
"Do you think Tilden will be the Demo
cratic nominee next year"
Everything points that way now. And
yet Mr.. Tilden has many enemies in his
own party. l think he would be the easiest
man beaten the Democrats could nominate.
The attitude Of Tammany towards him in
the New York Convention shows that he is
not able to keep his party in line. There is
suspicion of trickery hanging about Til
den among those who have been his follow
ers. Look ut Hewitt, who managed his
campaign three years ago, and David Dud-
ley Field who went to Congress for the
purpose Of taking charge of his claims
both are now opposed to him. That is the
way it seems to go with him. His most
valuable allies in politics desert him."
"Do you regard him as man of ability
II do, undoubtedly. I think that there
are few men who are his equals in organ
izing and conducting campaign"
"Whom do you regard us the best man
the Democrats could put forward?"
II think Senator George II. Pendlcton is
their most available man and their strong
est. lie has been before the people as ma
tonal character q long time. His abilities
are of the first order, and lie has fewer ene-
mics than any public man in the party
Thurman is Il man of great ability, but Inc
has enemies right here at his own home.
On the whole, l think PendletOn the best
man the Democrats could nominate"

Everybody Recognizes the Fact,

After faithful service Of five terms
Mr.. and Mis-. Briggs retired last Satur-
day from the county clerks office. All
parties will unite in the unanimous YER
dict that the office was most efficiently
and ably filed during the past fifteen
years. Mrs. Briggs was mainly in
charge of the duties of the office and
great credit is due to her for the thor
ongh and careful manner in which all
the work has been done. A more hon.
est faithful clerk than Mrs. Briggs it
would be hard to find anywhere in the
country. Her modest, womanly and
dignifled presence equal to that of the
Judge, always commanded respectful
department in the courtroom. Her
presence ut the clerks desk tenn
pered the ardor of the attorneys and
enforced politeness during the most ex-
citing trials, and greatly lessened the
labor of the Sheriff in preserving order
in the court room. Being perfectly fa-
miliar with the duties of the Office, she
had everything at her instant command
and with the utmost dispatch could give
any required information or;.perform
any duty at call.-TElyria Constitution.

BY universal accord, AYERS CATnAR-
TIC PILLS are the best Of all purgatives for
family use. They are the product of long,
laborious, and successful investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in their
practice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most effectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devise. Being
purely vegetable no harm can arise from their
use. In intrinsic value and curative powers
no other Pill can be compared with them, and
every person, knowing their virtues, will em-
ploy them when needed. They keep the sys-
TEN in perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery of life. Mild,
searching and effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs Of the digestive appar-
atus, arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken, They are the best
aud safest physic to employ for children and
weakened constitutions, where mild but ef-
fectual cathartic is required. For sale by all

Liberal reports from New York City
with the recent advance in cable quota

\ Commendable Precaution.
BY request We publish the following
rule ailonted by the school hoard:

By request we publish the following
rule adopted by the school board:
No pupils will be allowed to attend
any department of the Public Schools,
| who has been an inmate of any family
or boarding house in which has been
one or more cases of scarlet fever or
diptheria uutil two weeks after the at
tending physician shall deem the pa
| tient or patients cured. Such pupils
| will be readnitted to the schools only
| on presentation of the attending ply
sician's certificate, showing time of
| cure.
In this connection let us say, first,
that we think this precaution wise and,
though little late, better late than
never. Many of our people have kept
their children out of school because
of the carelessness of others in allow
ing children who had been exposed to
these diseases to attend. 1t Is believed
that this rule will, If rigidly enforced,
restore our schools to nearly full quota,
and only those who ought will be COM
pelled to stay away. We earnestly urge
parents who are keeping their children
at home to send them to school unless
prohibited by above rule. In that event
we are much more anxious that they
be kept at home. We hope our physi-
clans will promptly notify members of
the board, or Supt. Wean, Of all cases
that may come under their notice. We
do not suppose these diseases in any
sense epidemic among US. Indeed there
are probably not more than six or
seven cases in town. There has been,
as we remember now, but two deaths
from both diseases during the half term
now past.
The Superintendent is to be COM
mended for the care and prudence ex-
ercised to prevent the pupils exposing
themselves to this disease.
