Do you believe the course of the
Journal in this matter COMFORTS with
the dignity of heightened, manly
journalism? Do you believe that the
fair-minded p, ople Of this country will
accept Misrepresentation, ~villificatlon,
abuse and vile Islander, in preference
to reason, argument, justice and truth?
Finally, permit me say, that how,
ever much I may be traduced and
slandered, I will not be swerved from
nv devotion to the people and their
cause, but 1 intend to stand by them
faithfully, firmly and fearlessly to the
end, without regard to attachments or
antipathies, or Consequences to myself,
personal or otherwise.
Respectfully,

r CAROLINA.

AS North CarOlinians we have many
reasons to be proud that we are natives
and some reasons not to be proud.
We regret that we have a good many
old fOgies in the State, but are glad
that North Carolina is keeping up with
what is known as the New South. We
are proud of the fact that naturally
our State is equal to any section Of the
globe, We know this and outsiders
agree with us. The following graphic
description and words of praise from
the pen Of James Clement Ambrose, in
the Interior, will be read with pleasure
by everybody:
To-day | question whether any other
State in the Union is possessed Of equal
natural resources, for maintaining her
self as a separate and exclusive little
empire. Lying halfway between the
lakes and the gulf, with her feet in the
ocean, and stretching westward over
lowland upland, and mountain, e G
lions, till her head is bOlstered by the
Smoky Mountains, 1000 feet up and
500 miles away, she holds the golden

gifted with bOuntiful variety of climate
and productions by great change in
elevation. And still, shielded west and
northwest by her private mountains,
and the gulf stream washing her coast,
she keeps mild tempered even at mid
winter, vegetation in parts always
growing. and stock always grazing
even in the mountains at New Years.
Her soil is productive of all good THINGS
to eat, drink, wear and keep warm bY,
besides something to chew; and two
thirds of her 50, 900 square miles is still
covered by forests of heavy timber.
Her pockets are full of useful minerals,
notably iron, gold and copper. She en-
joys a rainfall of forty-fve inches. has
a mean summer warmth that is not
mean OF IS degrees, and a winter cool
ness OF 43. In the midst of tar, pitch
ana t~urpentine, she revels in good
health. She grows chiefly cotton, corn,
TOBACCO, wheat, oats, rice and rye. Her
factories handle cotton, wool, tobocco,

MAD SCOTT.

TIE maddest man South Of Mason &
Dixon's line, which, by the way, has
been moved up nearly to Canada, is
Major Scott, of the Lenoir Topic. We
had been submitting to his personal
filings and rantings, instead of argu-
mCnts, for a long time. 1t had a most
peculiar way of making a mountain
out of a mole-hill and never stopped to
consider whether or not there was any
truth in the charges against the ALI
ance, but went ahead recklessly.
Week before last we published a pen
picture of the old gentleman. His reply
covers over two columns of space tnat
might have been put to better use.
There is nothing but invective in it.
Bro. Scott says he will discuss meas
Ire any time. Why don't you do it
then? Cool off, old man, and run your
temperature down and then sail into
the Alliance platform. We are ready.

ABOUT HAY.

There is nc danger of our farmers
having too much hay. The rains this
year has caused a good crop of crab
grass to grow up on the harvest fields.
Much of this has already been saved,
but still hundreds of loads of the finest
kind of hay might be cut, This is fine
weather for moving and not a blade of
grass should be lost. 1t is economy to
save it, and unwise not to do so.

The enemies of the Alliance dread no
man as they do President Polk, because
he cannot be bought, bribed or bull
dozed. But what has the Alliance to
say in answer to all these base and
malicious lies? President Polk is
stronger to day with his people than
ever before in his life.

A COWARDLY GOVERNMENT

On the train from Baltimore to
Washington, on u recent trip East,
we had an interesting experience, says
the editor of the Great Vest, St. Paul,
Mimi.
We spent our days in Washington,
and II evenings and nights the guest
of the2 amiable and cultivated family
of DR.. Edw. Dunn, Mt. Washington, a
Baltimore suburb.
The second morning, On the train to
Washington we began cOnverSlng with
a young man scarcely past his major
itY, and found that he was an emplOye
in the Census Department, n OF those
recently dropped from the rolls. His
father was an Allianceman in Ohio.
"Do you think you were dropped
from the rolls on account Of your
fathers relations to the new party?"
ooh no, they know nothing about
that-my work was Onfarm mortgages
and was finished four weeks ago; and
[ have been employed in other depart
ment work for three weeks"
"And paid from the mortgage fund
of 81, 000, 0O0?'
EYES,
Did you know That was against
the law?'
"No-but what does the department
care about that?'
May I quote this, from shorthand?"
Il don't care
"WeII, why don't Porter publish the
farm mortgage Teturns?"
"BECAUSE HE DON'T DARE TO
he has his instructions from the cab
met. They have held consultations
over it."
"How do you know?'
Never mind, | do know
How near were you to POrter!>
NEAR enough to know. DO you
suppose that great record will yer
see the light? No sir. 1t is the most
appalling record ever disclosed on
earth. Never viii it be published as
it came in"
VIII it be published at all!'
Yes, Of course. in time. They are
now getting new reports from all over
the country, and new clerks are hand
ling them
"DO you really mean that the honest
farm mortgage reports would damn
our financial SYSTEM"
1T WOULD DAMN ANY FINAN-
CIAL SYSTEM"

ter, but this was sufficient. The fact
is that the government at Washington

union, made an impressive appeal to the
delegates from the industrial union to
urge their body to use its influence to
secure the adoption of legislation to pre-
vent fake stores from coming TO the city
to deceive the unwary.
Z. Quincy, OF the typographical union,
iustanced the ease of the stove mould
ers. He said they came here from Gin
cinnati few months ago, and having
formed union were forced out of the
factory. Investigation showed that the
opposition to them was solely because
they belonged to a labor union and not
because of the wage question.
Mr.. GlaZier,O of the cigarmakers'union
said that agitation had already increased
the consumption of ST. Paul-made
cigars.
Mr.. Black thought that the breach be-
tween the business men and labor or
CARNATIONS should be brIdged over by
frequent conferences.
Harry FRANKLIN advocated the plan
or labor organizations using any funds
raised by them in starting industries to
be controlled exclusively by union
laborers,sand made motion that the
trades and labor assembly name COM
mlttee of five to devise method of pro-
cedure by that organization and report
at the next regular meeting.
This motion was carried, and Presi-
dent Ives named Harry Franklyn.
Louis Nash, James Morrow, Daniel
Barnard and A. GlaZier as the commit
tee. Mr.. Ives closed the meeting by a
pointed address in which he urged the
cooperation of labor organizations with
the industrial union. He added The
question of bringing union labor men
here is a question for us to consider,
and the trades and labor assembly
should see to it that incoming laborers
belong to labor unions.

Sl1,700,000 to the widow and two sons
WOrthingtOn Ford and Paul Forthwith
some minor legacies TO more distant
relatives. The name of testator's SON,
Malcolm w. Ford, the famous

toned in tine will. Malcolm
had incurred his fathers displeasure bv
devoting himself to sports. and was not
regarded as member of the family. His
father refused for years even to speak
to him, but reconciliation was effected
at the time of Malcolm's recent illness.
which was thought likely to prove fatal.
1t seems, however, that the old gentle
man did not relent sufficiently to make
his athlete sun one OF his heirs. 1t is
believed that the disinherited son will
contest the will.
