necessary that the above ordes should be

send in cash for full amount of bills not

AN CNWARRANTABLE ATTACK.

The people and papers of Durham
are justly indignant at an article writ
ten by Edward a. Oldham and pub
llshed in the Atlanta Constitution of
last Sunday, grossly rejecting upon
that town. After failing in business
there as publisher of morning paper,
he becomes soured al the place and
people, after all that had been done
Tor him, and shows his base ingratitude
by writing derogatory articles about
them, drawing upon his imagination
for much that he says. Perhaps as
mean thing as he was guilty of in
this whole matter is the fact that the
article purported to have been written
from Raleigh, when in fact it was con.
cocted in another State. Owing to
the peculiar state of affairs existing be.
tween the two towns at present, while
we do not attribute anything like i'll
Will or even unkind feelings to either,
MI Oldham saw, as he SUPP 5ed, an
opportunity to vent his spleen and
ward off suspicion from himself. Else,
why did he write Raleigh. N. c.. at
the top of this article and not sign his
name to it?
We are not surprised, but are very
sorry that North Carolina bred man
could have been guilty of making such
a mean and cowardly stab at those
who for time at least were his friends
and beneiactors. Mr.. Oldham bv this
remarkable performance of his has
fallen very low not only in the estima-
ton of the citizens of Durham. INT
every honest right thinking person in
the State must unheSitatingly condemn
SUCH an unwarranted attack upon
OraVc' chlva!rous, plucky and enter +
prlSlng people as we know those of the l
little Bull City to be. Of all traits of
he human heart that of ingratitude is
perhaps the basest. t

Mr.. Morrill,, of the First congression-
al district, will not be candidate tor
reelection. Mr.. Morrill, is chairman of
the committee on INVALID pensions, and
complains that some of the old soldiers
have written him abusive letters because
of his failure to comply with their de-
mands. Mr.. Morrill, is unfortunate.
Wall street in front of him, and the old
soldier behind, makes rather a bad cross
fire. But Wall street never grows
abusive, Wall street has only to ask.
and it is given. Not so the old soldier.
He receives promises. Promises will
not feed the hungry or clothe the naked.
If they would. the old soldier would
live on the fat of the land. Not until
recently did the old soldier ask much.
Hard times is no reSpectOr of persons.
Hard times pinches the old soldier just
as hard as if he were not an old soldier:
and he feels just AS keenly; and so the
old soldier is restless; and for being
restless lie is considered abusive. The
old soldier is entitled TO something, but
The old soldier has not enough to eat and
wear. The old soldier saved the cOun-
try. aud Wall street owns the country.

Old soldiers need not be surprised if it
be stated in the ingalls, organs that the
cause of there being no service pension
bills passed by this congress was owing
TO the opposition from the South. And
for the purpose of re-clecting ingalls,,
every Republican ring organ will be
pointing the farmers to what Jerry
Rusk knows about the causes of the
present agricultural depression. And if
it were possible, these ring organs
would have farmers believe that all the

culture is lodged in the head of

CONSERVATISM is anti-prOgressive. 1t

in the past. 1t wOrships as relics dead
mems bones. 1t becomes the prey of
bad men. If found il the church, it is
priest-ridden. If found in Il party, 1t is

man that boasts of what he did when a

though dOtage is upon him. Conserva-
tism predicts disaster TO the vigorous

The Post says, editoriaIly, that ''the po-

have elevated politics, but he has not
been help to the people; and the real
question is, Are the people better off for
having Mr.. ingalls,? and the answer
must be All emphatic negative. The
Post takes people to task for abusing
public men, bnt negsects to say that
about all the INSTRUCTION" the people
have received from public men for years,
is along the line of abuse. People do
not, as a rule, abuse Rlblic men, and
that which is sometimes taken for abuse
is just criticism, fairly provoked. II
public men would serve the people more
and corporations less, there would be no
complaint of abuse.
