that after Burr and Jefferson received the
same number OF votes In the Electoral College.
the formcr made overturss to the Federalists
In the hope OF beating his Republican colleague
In the House Of Representatives. The author
Of this autobiography. who was certainly In
position to know tho intentions OF the
Pennsylvania electors. declares that nothing
but series Of accidents prevented Burr from
obtaining majority OF the Electoral College.
and he gives no credence to the charge Of sub
sequent intrigues. on tho ground apparently
that an experienced wirepuller would not have
neglected the most obvious means OF success.
We quote some OF his remarks upon tho sub
ject: 1T was said Mr.. Burr intrigued to get
appointed President. II he did he managed
badly. for he should have gone to Washington.
where he certainly could. II he wished It, have
been elected 1t was owing to the chapter OF
accidents that he had not moro votes from tho
electors than Mr. Jefferson. Col. F. Nichols.
who informed mo The was spoken to by
somo members OF the Legislature to DO
ono OF the Federal electors for Pennsylvania
was by accident prevented from being at Lam
caster. by which means another person wss
chosen in his room. Col. Nichols has told mo
often since that. knowing tho Federal party
could not carry their man. he was determined
to give vote for Col. Burr. under whom he had
served. and for whom he had . great esteem.
He lamented that he did not ride up and get
his friend Coleman to give vote for Col. Burr.
Mr.. Coleman. who was one Of tho electors. has
frequently told me he intended to vote
for Col. Burr. and was with diffioulty persuaded
from It. and Col. Robinson OF Delaware, who
was an excellent ofiicer Of the Pennsylvania
line. informed me that when no was spoken to
to DO one OF the electors (which he had always
been) no informed his friends he should vote
for Burr. who was one Of the officers Of the
Revolution. Ono Of the electors who came In
as they wero voting told Mr.. Coleman that he
intended to vote for Col. Barr. and wished to
speak to him. but had not an opportunity.
Coleman was sorry he did not. as he would
have advised him to vote for Burr"
As regards the duel between Burr and Ham,
ilton, Capt Biddls IL convinced that tho former
was justified In challenging his antagonist
that his behavior on the ground was entirely
correct, aud that there was absolutely no cause
for the storm Of obloquy with which bis action
was visited. He proved the sincerity Of hii
opinion and. the stsnchness OF his own char
scter by maintaining tho most friendly rela

OF NJ. Rouher tho author speaks more defer
entially. yet not. as we have said. with unmixed
praise. No one can deny that he was ono Of
the most prominent Municipalities OF the reign
OF Louis Napoleon. II. from various causes.
NJ. Rouher became disastrous counsellor. In
stead Of remaining marvellous auxiliary. as
he showed himself to be at the Minis
tries Of Public Works aud Commerce.
It was because advantage was taken
OF his yielding character to entice
him from tho administration OF affairs. which
was his favorlte element. to thrust him head
long into the whirl Of politics. They wanted to
make statesman OF him such role was con.
sistent neither with his character nor his tom.
permanent. They only succeeded In making Of
NJ. Rouher o splendid advocate for the Crown.
or rather an advocate OF every cause the de-
fence OF which 1t pleased tho chief power to
impose upon him. We shall see the ON
impotence this submission procured for him.
the regrettable use no made OF this power. the
compromises to which he lent himself In order
to escape the bitterness OF retirement Finally.
we shall sec how the most brilliant faculties
may DO irretrievably damaged by the absence
OF character and the want Of conviction" It
will DO noticed that this portrait agrees almost
line for limo with that which Emile lola has
drawn OF NJ. Rouher In his well-known novel,
"son Excellence Eugene Rougon."

produce an atom OF evidence for the alleged
street msssacres and midnight executions. He
denies all the stories about tho distribution OF

pleasant one Thus. on the occasion just re-
ferred TO. after coming back from visit to tho
Jersey prison ship. Il observed" he says
two Hessian officers looking at me very at
tentively. one Of whom at last exclaimed In
broken English BY Got! 1t ish Captain Bit

at seeing me. found tho one who spoke was
Capt. Baum. and his companion another Of

quarters. which I did. and was treated with
great kindness by those gentlemen" Else

with whom he was brought In contact during
his captivity. that they we're generally the best

"Ireceived so much kindness from Cadogan.
Cotes. Harvey, and others. that never see
British naval officer without wishing It may be
In my power to serve him." From these and
many similar indications. we may surmise
that reasonable concessions on the part OF
Great Britain. and a conciiatory attitude. such
as would have been maintained by wise COM
mander like Sir Guy Carleton. would havo
made loyalst Of Capt Didde. whose linger-
ing attachment to tho mother country was
doubtless shared by very large and powerful
element OF the colonial population. Even In
Now England there were many traces OF this
feeling.
While Philadelphia was occupied by the
British. Capt. Biddle. who continued. as we
have said. to make trading voyages to the West
Indies. Notwithstanding the danger OF capture
by ships OF war or privatesrs. found himself
compelled to put In at the Southern ports. In

lady, Miss Sheppard. whom he afterward mar
RED and. residing for time In this place. he
was elected q member OF the North Carolina

he retained until the new State Constitution
was adopted. He was elected by the Council!

The Churchill Case.

The case of eX-Treasurer Church. ill was decided last week, in the Chancery court, against the State. It will be remembered that Church i'll Was defaulter, when he left the TreaSurer's office, to the amount of SS0, ,522. His bonds men were sued for the dofcit, but on two of the bonGs one of the bondsmen's names had been eras- ed and the court. on that account, decided that the other bondsmen were also released, as their con. sent was not given to the act.
 By this decision, the State looses over S75,000. Of course an ap. peal will be made to a higher court, though there is not much hope of gaining the case.
 Churchill claims a credit on the deficit of S59,oO0, scrip burned and not credited on his books, and says if this credit is allowed him, the balance, S2l,5 800, will be at once made good by his family
 We are not Tn favor of compro. misses, when honor and principle is involved; prefer to let justice take it's coarse, as general thing; still, after maturely considering this ease in all its phases, we would say, accept Churchil's compro- mise proposition. The State vii then get at least the S2l, ,500, whereas as the case now stands, she may not get anything. There seems to be some doubt as to the true amount of the defalcation.- Let the matter be settled either by giving him the benefit of the doubt or else make him suffer the penal ty of the law for it's violation-be sent to the penitentiary, where all criminals belong.

FIX Gov. ST. JoHN has written a long letter to the Rev. John Han ma, of Bloomington, Illinois, de- nouncing the Republican party in bitter terms for circulating the report that he had, during the late campaign offered to sell ont to that party. He says he did net, at any time in his life, either direc fly oI indirectly, propose to sell out the Republican party, or any other political organization. He says the report is simply one of the many infamous and malicious lies, for which the Republican press, during the campaign just clesed, has been noted. But here is how he winds up: ''lt may open its flood gate of falsehood and yilitea- tion of bitterness upon me, but it can never swerve me one jot or title from doing what my con science tells me is right. The campaign of 1888 has already be- gun and the warfare against the liquor traffic will be vigorously prosecuted and the political party that stands in the way of the move. ment of the people will get hurt. The spirit of intolerance exhibited ny the Republican press to-day is doing for the party just what the same spirit did for the slavery Iarty thirty years ago, hanging men in effigy, and induising in falsehood and vilification is not an argument, nor will it in this day and age of free schools, Christian homes and free men scare anybody or cause anyone to abandon their principles at the dictation of any political party"

To SURVIVING MEMBEtS
O. Grinstean's Regima,'t,

The grave of Col. Grinstead, lin our city Cemetery is in terrible condition; the earth has sunken in, and the wooden boards have rotted out. The truth is, nothing really remains by which the tomb of this noble man and gallant soldier can be identified. Hence it is prop0s. ed that the remaining members of his old regiment here, come to- gether and at least put his grave in good condition, and erect marble head and foot beard, to mark the last resting place, where his com rades and friends "slowly and sad ly" laid him. Those w shing to do so, can place such amounts as they feel able and willing to give, with Col. Tom D. Thomson, at the clerks s oilice.-CdmdeR Beacon.

THE greatest invention of the nineteenth century, the cotton picker, is approaching completion. It has been tested in tt,e fields of it's inventor, Mr. Mason, of Colum- bia, South Carolina, by z committee of noted cotton men, who make a highly favorable report of it's sue cesstul work. No doubt it win re. yolutionize labor in the South and prove blessing to Il e children, thousands of whom are taken out of school to pick in the bcstport of the school year. One good ma chine will pick the cotton for a whole neighborhood. 1t seems, from the report given of it, to work with human intelligence, SC. lecting the open bolls, cleaning them out with the incest precisior and leaving the plant uninj'red. It was tested on the 29th of NOvem. Der, after the frosts had rendered the branches and stalks of leaves crisp and brittle, but the commit tee state that they missed nothing hut lint after the machine had passed over the row. It will be exhibited at the New Orleans EX- position, and there will be nothing to be seen there of superior inter- est to the South.

\ Normal School.

At the recent teachers meeting at Texarkana, |a re esolution was passed that the body memorali2e til Legislature, that it establish q State Normal School for teachers, and that said school be located south of the Arkansas river. In q speech before the body Prof. Pope of our Graded School, advocated Prescott as the most suitable place for its location, aud no other place was more favorably discussed.
 The Hampstead Tctcgroph, Washington PreSs, and Texarkana papers have since strongly adyo- cated tie establishment f the Nor nal school as recommended by the teachers, and mentioned no loca- ton.
 Now we are also highlyin favor of the said Normal school being established, and will also say, (as some of the teachers did), that Prescott being south ofthe Arkan- sas river, and being otherwise geo. graphically well.situate on a pub lie .thoroughfare, not too remote, ol linear the State ,liue-is tue most suitable location for said institu, ton. We have a healthy town, good artesian water, and enter prising, intelligent people.
 Besides the great benefit to be derived from the establishment ol the Normal school, other things should be taken into consideration by our Legislature, to-wit: Other portions of the State have beer given advantages over our section Fayetteville in the North western portion, has the State University; Pine Bluff in the Eastern portion n branch of the University; while the South h-west has been neglected Now these are facts, and not giv en in any bad spirit, but simp (as stated above) for the considera ton of our Legislators.
 Tho advisability of establishing d State Normal school for teach CTS, can not be gainsaid. Persons who teach in our public schools should be properly prepared and fitted for such work, and 8 good Normal school will do it. We agree with one of our neighbors, when it says: Ut is a great mistake ant a great misfortune that persons arc l licensed to teach who are not only inexperienced as to methods anC modes of imparting information but many of them deficient as to [ com mon school education even.- It is the scarcity ot properly edu cated and trained teachers that makes our country schools inefli cient to the demands of the .peo pie"
 We hope the petition of tho teachers of the whole State, ana the voice of the press of South west Arkansas, will be needed by the Legislature, and a Normal school for white teachers bo es.ab lisned as recommended, at Pres colt.

America'S Pride,

True American men and women, by rea- son of their strong constitutions, bcauti fu forms, rich complextionss and characteristic energy, are cnyied by all nations. It is the general use of Dr. Harters Iron Tonic which brings about these results.
