NORTH CAROLINA IN THE WAR.


North Carolina has not received
from the pen Of any historian, so
far, anything like her just dues,
anent the commanding position she
took, and the hard fighting she did
in the War Between the States.
The following extract from the
memorial address Of ex-Gov. Scales,
delivered at Raleigh last Saturday,
is the truth itself and viii be inter
esting reading for all:
"The following is the loss in killed
of the Southern States
North Carolina, 1852
Virginia, 1928
South Carolina, 9,187
! Georgia, 1858
Mississippi, 5,SO7
North Carolina did the most fight
ing, Others did the most talking and
made the most noise, and l fear also
they made more history.
at is a glorious record for North
Carolina at Gettysburg, a glorious re-
cord for North Carolina during the
war, and no amount Of falsehood,
ISLANDERS and injustice, from whomso-
ever it comes, can blot the record
out. God forbid that / should[ at
tempt to do any injustice to the
noble old Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia, our sister State, from the days
of the revolution TO the present time.
She has been mentioned in history as
the mother of Presidents, heroes,
States and statesmen. | would not
detract a laurel from her brow.
There is glory enough carved out by
bloody hands from all the States to
give each one his full share. have
nothing to say except in terms Of
praise of the noble Pickett and his
gallant division but [ ask, and |
want justice for North Carolina.
~ now propose to introduce per
sonal testimony, most Of whom are
eyewitness and Of such weight as
to put the blush OF shame upon the
authors Of the false charge. The
witness is our great and fearless lea
der.
"Gen. Lee says in his report of the
battle of Gettysburg, dated July 81,
1868, that the battle recommended in
the afternoon Of the 31st ofJuly and
ragged with great violence until sun
set. Our troops succeeded in enter
ing the advanced works Of the enc
my, getting possession Of some of the
batteries, but our artillery having
nearly expended its ammunition, the
attacking columns became exposed
to the heavy fire Of the numer-
Gus batteries near!th9 summit of the
ridge, and after a most determined
and gallant struggle were compelled
to fall back to their original position,
and now as il TO confirm what he
had said, he continues that the con-
duct of the troops was all that he
could desire or expect, and they de-
served success so far as it could be
deserved by heroic valor and forti-
ude. This is the calm and dispas-
sionate truth, and will be accepted
as such by Virginians and the bal
ance of mankind. The conduct of
the troops-on the left and right, with
no exceptions was ali that he could
expect or desire"
Coy Scales then quoted at consid-
cradle length the testimony of many
other well known aud reliable wit
nesses. A full history should be
written, concluded Governor Scales,
and if Col. W. Il. Saunders health
should permit he is the man to write
it.

STATE ELEcTroNs@rHIs YEAR.


The only elections in North Car
Dina this year have already occurred
the municipal contests which many
of our towns and cities have just
passed through.
But in nine other States elections
are held this year, and while, coming
Immediately after the storm and
stress of the presidential election,
they are not likely to create more
than languid public interest, yet
locally some of them may be excit-
ing from the issues involved. The
States in which these elections occur
are Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vir-
ginia. In Iowa, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania the republican ascend
ency is too great to lead to any like
lihold of party change either in the
governorship or in the political COM
plexion of the Legislature. In Ken
lucky, Maryland, New Jersey and
Virginia the democrats will prob
ably retain their control, although
there is said to be some disaffection
in the party in New Jersey, and
that a strong effort will be made,
backed by the support of the federal
government, to bring Virginia into
the republican column. New York
has always been doubtful State.
The majority of its voters are con-
fessedly democratic, and but for the
gerrymandering of its congressional
and legislative districts it would
probably elect a democratic Legis-
lature and a much larger contingent
of democratic Congressman if the
result was not affected by the dick
erings usually carried on between
the leading politicians of both par
ties. The election in New Jersey,
where it is conceded that Leon Alb
bett will be the democratic candidate
for Governor, will be more warmly
contested than usual because his sue
cess would pave the way at the ex-
piration of his term of Office to his
subsequent election to a seat in the
Senate of the United States, which
is said to be "the goal of his ambi-
ton" In Ohio, which is to elect a
Governor, all but two of the State
officers, and Senator Of the United
States, the principal contest will be
over the Legislature, which is to
elect a successor to Senator Payne.
The chances in this respect are said
to be favorable to the democrats,
owing to the bitter quarrels existing
among the republican politicians, but
the latter, on great occasions, are
generally in the habit of subordin
ating their individual disliles to the
interests of the party, and it would
not be well to count upon their do
ing less in this instance, when there
is democratic Senator to turn out and
republican to be put in his place.
On the whole, then, a survey of the
field-would seen to be that each
party will hold its own at the COM
ing elections, with the United States
senatorship in Ohio in doubt.

At the banquet of the Southern
Society in New York recently, the
Governor of North Carolina and the
Governor of South Carolina occu-
pied adjoining seats, which fact
provoked many jests, including a
mot from Governor Buckner: "My
State" said he, "has probably fur
nished agreater number of gallons of
pretext for an interchange of re-
marks between the Governor of
North Carolina and the Governor of
South Carolina than has any other
State"
General Butler and Admiral Por-
ter are calling each other Coward"
whereupon the Washington Post
says: "When two old warriors, up
to their waists in the grave, rake up
the dirt and squabble to see which
head shall get sand on it first, the
country will conclude that the war
didn't last quite long enough"

"A FEW hours before Mayor Hewitt's
term Of Office expired he appointed Commits
sioner of Public Works axd Commissioner
of Taxes and Assessments. The legal right
to make these appointments rested with May
or Hewitt, but it was supposed that he would
leave the naming Of the officers to his sue
cessor. The places thus filed are two Of the
most lucrative in the gift Of the Mayor. car

Of numerous subordinates. Tammany and
Hewitt are now out. The society concen-

THE San Francisco Examiner, the
leading Democratic paper on the Pacific
Coast, says that there are certain classes of
work in California that in which it is neces
sary to employ Chinese, and that it would
Be to the detriment of the State if all the
Cinnamon should leave, as certain indus.
tries could not then be prohtably carried on.
This we do not believe. Howeve, through
the last campaign the Examiner was one Of
the loudest paper against Chinese immigra-
ton and Chinese labor, and accused only
Republicans Of being their friends. At the
same time Republicans were fighting against
the proposed reduction of IS per cent. in
the duty on foreign raisins, while the Demo-
Gratis favored the reduction, apparently to
render the demand for the continuance Of
slave labor still more imperative. Republi.
cans stood by the present duty for the bene-
6t of American labor, the object being to
enable manufact hfcrs and producers to have
free labor and pay fair wages.

MIR. BLAINE

Until the Cabinet is appointed and the
prospects Of Mr.. Blaine for the Premiership
are thus determined, there will be good
deal Of gossip about the Maine statesman.
The statement is made that Mr.. Blaine will
fake house in Washington whether he is
I member Of the Cabinet or not, and, If
not, commence factional fight upon the
Administration. The story is improbable.
If Mr.. Blaine has any political ambition it
can be realized only by contributing to make
Harrison's administration success. With
his large and ardent following, he might
embarass Mi. Harrison, but in SO doing he
would render his own nomination four years
hence improbable and his election, if nomi.
hated, impossible. Mr.. Blaine may be am
bilious Of the late Mr.. Conkling's reputation
as an administration smasher, but he will
indulge in this ambition only when he is
willing to retire from political life.--S. F..

Now that the administration is again in
the hands of Republicans, and there are liza.
bic TO be some changes in government posif
tons, there will, no doubt, be thousands Of
applicants for these positions. Senators
Stewart and Jones and Congressman elect
BAftine are bored to death by persons seek
Ing positions, and as it is impossible to make
places enough for all some will have to
stand aside. There will no doubt be appli.
cants from California and other States for
positions IN the Mint. Some Of these may
come from people who have before resided
in this State and who lay stress on that as
their fitness, ETC., for the positions to which
they aspire. We believe that all appoint.
ments made for Nevada should be among her
own people. There are plenty Of men in
this State who would like positions and are
capable Of filing them, and they should
have the prefersace over any outsider We do
not 60 much on the appointing Of men to Of
fees who, as soon as they are let out leave
the State and are only willing to come back
to it when good fat position is held out to
them. 1t may be that some Of this kind are
now seeking Office, and if so they should not
be encouraged in the least. Give the posi-
tions to deserving men who are bona /fde res.
idents Of the State; who stay here and fight
her battles and take the consequences wheth-
er it be victory or defeat
