The request Of the widow Of our
dead hero-that in the choice of pail.
bearers the Confederate generals shall
not be forgotten-touches very ten
der chord in the hearts Of the people
Of this reunited country. II is sig
nifcant Of the rapid changes which
have been going on during the last
twenty years. That The request should
receive the unqualified approval Of
the nation showsssthat both North and
Sonth have recovered from the shock
Of war, and stand shoulder to
shoulder as citizens Of a COM
monwealth IN which they take an
equal pride. Il will be remarkable
sight to see representative leader Of
each Of the opposing armies taking
part in the last services which can be
rendered to the savior of the Union,
and it will make the sad occasion
which Is so close at han'l even more
memorable.
Il is something worth thinking
about that Grants influence over the

J. LYING IN STATE.

All day yesterday the remains Of
Capt. r. A. Shotwell lay in state in
the rotunda of the capitol. The cas-
ket is of metal, in imitation of rose.
wood; and its handles are of massive
silver. The casket rests upon a bier,
whose base is concealed by evergreens
and magnolia leaves. Over the cas-.
ket is thrown the Governors head.
quarters flag, of dark blue silk, with
the coat of arms of the State in its
centre. At the head is draped the
Confederate battle flag" under
which the dead soldier so often
marched. On top of the State flag is
a wreath Of pure white flowers. On
the main d,ors of the capitol Grape
is draped, and the same emblem Of
mourning is displayed at the door Of
the State library and at the door of
the department Of agriculture. On
both the flag stats the State flags are
displayed at holt mast. All day long
people passed through the rotunda.
and as they passed the casket they
barred their heads, as a tribute Of res.
pect to the memory Of a good soldier
and an esteemed friend.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. NJ. S.
Shotwell, a brother Of the dead gen.
tleman, arrived from Harrisburg, Pa.
He was greatly distressed at the
death, and was deeply sensible Of the
attentions paid the deceased. Mr. ].

rs THE PARTY SAFE.

Is the great political organization
known as the Democratic party in
North Carolina, established upon a
foundation which cannot be shaken
is it founded upon principles Of Truth,
Right and Justice equal rights to
all men with agual antee Of justice in
our courts? Not a democrat in North
Carolina Of any prominence will pre-
sumo to answer these interrogatories
in the negative, and yet of the rank
and file Of the party there are hum
dreds who are ready to ally themselves
with any combination which will at
tempt the overthrow Of what they
choose to term the Bourbon Democ.
racy.' Different issues have been
presented by this class to the still
struggling and hopeful leaders Of the
dismembered Republican party, and
with the intimation that all the dis
gruntled democrats will support the
cause.
Anti-prohibition in 1882 was cons
structed as a political hobby, but its
foundation was frail and transparent
and it failed of the end sought to be
attained. Opposition to Bourbon

vised and resulted in the enlistment
of only few who had hitherto sup
ported the grand old Jacksonian or.
ganization. while hundreds of Repub.

years, the effort is to unite with the

certsan bills looking to the further
anfmore rapid advancement of the

this regiment. Lee saw service on
the Western frontiers, and was seri-

Comanche Indians. In 1860 men.
Lee was detached from his regiment

When Virginia seeded he promptly
resigned his commission and Joined
the Conf derate Army. His first
service under the South was in Gen.
Beauregard's army at the battle Of
Manassas. Gen. Lee became one oi
the most brilliant cavalry command
ers in the Confederate army. From
a lieutenant he rose to be a major
general. AT the battle of Winches
ter General Lee was wounded In the
thigh by a minnie ball. Three hor
SEES were shot under him during thai
conflict. His wound confined him tc

The Field WIN he won.

Tie nomination Of Gen. Fitz Lee
was looked for in this region, in adj
vance Of the fact, as foregone con-
clusion, and the result was just what
was expected. The gallant Fitz-our
Fitz-has been steadily growing in
the affections Of tie people since the
war. He was beloved by the soldiers,
and this feeling has always been an
element of strength to him but since
the war he has steadily enlarged his
constituency.
With Fitz Lee as our candidate the
bonfires will kindle themselves, the
cheers will rise spontaneously to thu
lips of the voters, and the field will
be won with a rush like the rush o
Niagara. But General Lee has more
than the power to kindle enthusiasm
and conciliate regard; he has tn,
ability to bold what he wins by hi
solid abilities and exealted character

The action of the convention !,
