Treat Us All Alike.

Mr.. EDITOR Docs your "Man
About Town" ever visit East Queen
street? If not tell him to walk from
Main St. East on Queen. He will find
living on said street, no Mayor or
Councilman, but lot Of respectable
tax payers He will also find from
Main to Jail street that he will have
to walk in the middle of the street, as
there are no sidewalks. and only then,
when no teams are passing, unless he
wishes to be run over Now, Mr..
Editor, why is this? Surely the peo-
pie living on said street are as much
entitled to get some return from the
taxes paid, year after year, as do the
people who live on Water street.
The people do not ask to tax the
citizens of the town for a sidewalk,
but, they do say serve us all alike.
No, we do not mean that, we do not
ask the town to give US the sidewalk
after they are done, but let it then
belong to the town as all land made
by the town ought to. In. the Ian

Throw Politics to the Dogs.

Rev. w. B. Derrick, VINO resided
in this State some years ago, and
who figured somewhat in politics, if
our memory is not at fault, delivered
an address before a convention Of
colored men in New York few da, S
since, in which he gave some sensi-
BILE advice to members of his race.
although it is not very probable that
it will be followed to any consider.

Throw politics to the dogs. The
Lord knows we don't make much out
of it at the best. The few offices we
hold wouldn't support more than a
handful of US. But help to elect
good white men, and they are bound
to grant all the negro asks-equality

What's the matter with E. City? A
gentleman from that town tells US that,
outside of the Post Office proper, there
is but one place where you can mail a
letter and that at Mr.. P. w. Melick's
who simply receives your mail matter
in the way of personal accommodation.
At any corner of the street in Edenton
you can mail your letters or, other
postal matter at any hour of the, day
Or,night. Our sister town should
awake from her old fashioned way Of
doing business or, her claims will be
questioned as to prominence in modern
advance. This gentlemen tells US
that the bull frogs can be seen and
heard almost any where in the business
centre of the place and that their music
constitutes an accordant sound with
business, church bells, town clocks and
machinery. E, City is in Pasquotank

THE REMEDY.

The Grand jury in their recent presentment
we're not content with simply denouncing as
they deserve the evils and abuses that have
Hourishcd so rankly in the Sheriff. Office. They
suggested a remedy for them. Had they not
done So their work would still merit cordial
praise; hut they were far-sighted enough
both to diagnose the disease correctly and
to suggest the medicine which should
be administered The Grand Jury as
serted that "the Sheriff should re-
ceive an annual salary. in a sum proportiOned
TO the great responsibilities deyolving upon the
Office. and the fees prescribed by law for his
official services should be paid into the county
treasury" Furthermore, they said that the
Under Sheriff should receive a proper salary
from the county, and sufficient number of
deputies should be appointed at regular salaries
payable by the county. Extortion
should be declared to consist in the asking or
acceptance by the Sheriff, or any Of his subor-
dinates, of any money or property, except On
behalf OF the county and in a case expressly
prescribed by law under color or pretence OF
official right or authority" Bribery was de-
fined as consisting in " the asking or acceptance
of sum of money or any property by Sheriff,
or any Of his subordinates, for doing or omit
ting to do any official act in respect TO any
matter in which the Sherff's Office has or may
have any official concern"
This is laying the axe at the root OF the tree.
The system of compensation by fees, where
by our Sherffs have been aide to line their
pockets literally, has been the fountain head
of the evils that have thrven in the Sheriff s
Office 1t is time to put an end to it, We are
aware of the objections that were raised to
paying the Sheriff a salary at the time when
the abolition of the decomposition system
in the Registers and County Clerks Offices was
under consideration. But we are not convinced
that these objections are insuperable. The
matter is likely to receive thoughtful considera-
ton at Albany. Senator Fassett is quoted as

had been secretary of the New-York East body

the Episcopacy at the General Conference in
this city two years ago. 1t does not appear
that any questions of large general concern
are to be passed upon by the conferences TINS

II seems that the telegraph got it wrong about
that Dartmouth commencement. The Concord
Monitor states that the class of 90 does not pur
nose TO dispense with the usual graduating eNcr-
ciscs but merely with the class-day celebration and
the regulation concert. The explanation will allow
the Goddess Of EloQucncc to breathe easier. We
tender 10 80 the assurances of our distinguished
considerations and trust that it will acqut itself
handsomely on the commencement stage that the
