changed between Robert Toombs and

1866, in which the latter gentleman
depicted with absolute and prophetic
accuracy the future condition of the
political and material life of these
Stotes. He wrote: with the over
throw of the Southern Confederacy,
free government for the people has disap.
peared on this continent. In its stead
will rise a centralized government

viewed the body of Walt Whitman,
among them many prominent in the
literary world. AT two o'clock the

exercises. The service was begun
with the reading Of the scriptures and
the dead poets works by Francis How

signed to the tomb, which was con
structed under Whtman's direction
three years ago.

Philadelphia Times
OF the las votes cast for the defeat
of the silver bill in the House on
Thursday Last, 81 were cast oy Demo-
Gratis and &c. by Republicans. OF
those voting in favor of the measure,
l29 are Democrats. IL Republicans
and s Farmers Alliance men. A
number of members were paired on the
question, but ) were absent without
pairs or failed to vote; they were:
Messrs. Campbell, Wad<worth and

of Indiana; Clover, of Kansas; Cheat.
ham, of North Carolina; Donovan, of
Ohio; Shell, of South Carolina; Her

But two Democratic votes were cast
in favor of the silver craze east of the
Ohio; they were Mr.. Reilly, of Schuyl
kill, Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Rock kwell

With these exceptions the solid Dem
ocratic vote of New York, Pennsylva
MIA, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Con

the silver craze, and it is most crafty

Republicans who voted for the silve

Biblical Recorder.
We had time in our last i-sue simply
TO mention the important change in
journalism which occurred here at the
capital by the recent sale of the STATE
CHRONICLE, by which Mr.. Thos. r.
Jernigan becomes editor of the CHRoN.
ICLE, and Mr.. Josephus Daniels retires
for the present from journalism. The
Recorder desires to express its regret
that Mr.. Daniels finds it necessary to
retire from newspaper work; at the
same time we feel that we can congrat-
tulate the readers of the CHRONICLE,
and the people of the State that his
position is to be filled by one so we'll
equipped as an editor as Mr.. Jernigan.
He has for long time been known to
the readers of the Recorder. Before
he became an editor he wrote for the
readers of this paper, and they will re
member as we do, his clear, forcefu
and interesting style as writer. Hi,
work upon the MtelHgencer and Ne,c
and Observer, has caused him 10 bt
recognized as an able and safe Leader
among the newspaper men of tn
State. We wish him the largest sue
cess in his new field.
The Recorder also desires to expires
its appreciation of the excellent worl
done by Mr.. Daniels while be was edi
tor of the CHRONICLE. Perhaps II,
, young man has ever exerted a wider in
fiuence in journalism in this State THAI
: Mr.. Daniels did while editor of III
CHRONICLE. He published bright
newsy, enterprisins paper-one tina
kept in close contract with the peopl
, and one that they rewarded with thei
. confidence in marked degree.

= long time been connected with til

u perience at Wilson, at Raleigh, an
