few days ago in some of his travels
that the United States should pay the
South for the loss Of their property.
What was the property destroyed
in the South during the late rebel
lion. 1t was the Stare. It seems
strange that one at this late period Of
civilization should admit to the con-
clusion Of the unreasonable South,
to that which they themselves claim
to have been a mistake, that it was
right and proper to sell human blood
and bodies from the auction block.
If it is true, that the Bishop made
the assertion that the South should
be spaid for its property, = it is also
true that there are over 5000, 900 of
Negroes in the United States enjoying
the blessings of liberty who rightly
is the property of the South. If
slavery was not moral right why
can any gentleman of an eccleastical
order wish to hold the country re-
sponsible or present bill to the gov
eminent that was neither receipted by
the Christian world as being right,
nor endorsed by God himself as be-
ing legal.
Mr.. Gray Washington, the popular
head waiter of the Yarbrough House,
after being hurt badly last summer
on an excursion from this city to
Warrenton, N. c., by an unnecessary
accident, has brought suit against the
Raleigh & CASTOR r. R. Co., for
$4,000. The case is now in pro-
gress.
The commencement exercises of
Kittrells School took place last Tues
day, DIR. w. H. Hunter, Of Norfolk,
Va, delivered the annual address.
Miss A. J Carraway has arrived
in the city from Rock Hill, s. c.,
where she has had a pleasant stay

Other scenes, other pursuits await
us. Though faint-hearted, we must

thoroughly cultivate his crops, but if
