N. G. RAILROAD VS.. THOMAS
B. LONG.
[Graham Gleaner.I

[Graham Gleaner.J
Thomas B. Long is the nominee oi
the Peoples party on the State ticket
for Auditor. Mr.. Long was the agent
for the North Carolina railroad at
Salisbury from August, 1868, to Octo-
Der, 1869-a little over one year. He
had given bond in the sum of s1o,-
900 for the faithful and honest conduct
of the duties pertaining to this trust
The railroad company discovered by
and by that their agent was not making
full and complete returns of the pro-
ceeds of the Office. He was dismissed
from service, and an investigation in
stituted which developed the fact that
he had been unfalthtul to the employ
ing company to the tune of several
thousand dollars.
An action was instituted by the COM
pany to recover the amount of his de-
falcation. The suit was brought in
this (Alamance) county, it being the
domicile of the company, and upon
trial a verdict was rendered by jury
for the sum of s5,951.94 against de-
fendant Long in favor of the plaintiff
company. All the records of the pro-
ceeding, judgment and all, are now on
file in the office of the Clerk of the
Superior Court of Alamance county.
And the Judgment has not been salts
fed to this day.
Several years ago, when said Thomas
B. Long began to aspire to political
honors, he went to Col. Thomas NJ.
Holt, then president of the North Caro-
lima Railroad Company, now Governor
of our Commonwealth, and asked the
company's best terms for the adjust
ment of the matter. Col. Holt pro-
posed to remit all interest and to
accept 50 cents on the dollar as full
satisfaction of the judgment. Mr..
Long said the proposition was liberal
and satisfactory, and that he would
pay it off. Already several years have
elapsed, and Mr.. Long has not paid
penny of it.
Such is the record of the man and
former Republican whom the Peoples
party has nominated for State Auditor,
whose business it is, briefly stated, to
manage the finances of the State.
Should such a man be chosen to take
charpe Of the States finances how
long would it be before he would
bankrupt the State? A defaulter to
manage the finances of the State would
be a public disgrace and calamity.
The people who believe in honest gov
ernment and faithful public servants
should see to it that only honest and
capable men are nominated and elected
to office.

WHO IS A GENTLEMEN.
IChriStian EndeaVOr,


A gentleman is person not merely
acquainted with certain forms and
etiquite of life, self-posessed in society,
able to speak and to act and move in
the world without awkardness, and
free from habits which are vulgar and
bad in taste. A gentleman is some
thing beyond this-that which lies at the
root of every christian virtue. 1t is
the thoughtful desire of doing in every
instance what others should do unto
him. He is constantly thinking, not
indeed how he may give pleasure to
others tor the mere sake of pleasing,
but how he may avoid hWting their
feelings. WAen he is in society he
scrupulously ascertain the position and
relation of every one he comes in con-
tact, with that he may give to each his
duehonor, his proper position. He
studies how he may avoid touching in
conversation on any subject which may
needless hurt their feelings, how he
may abstain from alluson which may
call up a disagreeable or offensive
association. A gentleman never al
ludes to, never even appears coscious
of any defect, bodily deformity, in
feriority of talent, of rank, of reputa
ton in the person in whose society he
is placed.
! He never assumes any superiority te
himself, never ridicules, never sneers
never makes a display of his OWL
power or rank or advantages, such a:
is implied in habits of tricks or inclna
tions which may be offensive te
others.

BEVERLEY BELLS.

Hark Hark!
Beverley Bells are ringing,
Are ringing Ger the lea
Their clear tones fill the.twilight chill
With changing melody.
There's a white face at a window,
There's a sad heart in the town
Is that bride by the gray fireSide,
Clad in wedding gown?
Ring. Bells of Beverley,
Ring on as We rang then
There is no mirth in heaven Or earth
No truth in the hearts Of men!
Hark ! Hark!
Beverley Bells are ringing,
O'er twilight square and street;
Twas years ago they once rang SO,
And 0 the dream was sweet!
He is not dead but faithless-
She dOnned her gown in vain;
Though her heart may break for his false
sake,
He will not come again.
Ring, Bells of Beverley,
Ring on as ye rang then;
There is no mirth in heaven or earth
No truth in the hearts of men!
Hush Hush!
Beverley Bells are dying
Upon the still night air
There's figure at the threshold,
There's football ON the stair,
Regretting-grieving- -yearning
For the love Of days gone by.
He has come at last to redeem the past
Why makes she no reply?
Ring, Bells of Beverley,
For broken spirit passed,
For weary breast that has found
And soul at peace at last.

THE LAND SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the
Skies are almost Never Cloud
ed. while the air is Cool and
BraciDg, like Perpet-
ual SDrinr.

As an anomalous southern resort, by
reason of the fact that there one may
escape summer heat no less than winter
cold, New Mexico is rapidly becoming
famous. Averaging through the entire
territory $500 feet in altitude above
sea-level, and characterized by dry Dir
which, unlike humid atmosphere, is
incapable of communicating heat, the
temperature in midsummer remains at a
delightfully."- comfortable degree through
the day, and at night becomes in
variable, brisk and bracing. The sun
shine is almost constant, yet the most
violent Out-of-door exertiOn may be
undertaken without fear of distressful
consequences. Sunstroke or prostratiOn
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is an
ideal land for a summer outing. It's
climate is prescribed by reputable physi-
clans as specific for pulmonary com
plants, and the medicinal Hot Springs
at Las Vegas are noted for their cura-
tive virtures. The most sumptuous
hotel in the west, the Montezuma, is
located at these springs. Write to Jno.

A NEGRO'S THE
FORCE BILL.
1Richmond TimeS.!

i. Thomas Fortune, the New YorI
negro editor, has written a letter te
the Herald on the political status o
the country, which we should like to
see read by every farmer in the South
This negro takes for his text the
barbarous and inhuman treatment OF
the negroes of the South by the whites
of the South, which he alleges to exist,
and the letter is a demand that the
Republican party shall pass the Force
bill and boost the negro through its
provisions into control of the white
people. He charges openly that ne
groes are lynched in the South under
the pretense that it is to arrest the
crime of rape, but that this is only put
forward as an excuse; that the real
purpose is to hold the negro down in
state of subsection. He says of this
phase of the case:
A preteXt-an excuse that would
appeal to the nation and paddock the
mouth of protest and Indignation
was necessary, and the crime of rape
was hit upon !; hit upon by men pro-
claiming themselves the special cham
pions Of female virtue, who had used
the brutal power of the slave master to
create a race of mulattoes. Irony
could not have a sharper edge than
this.
He says further:
The entire system of "home rule"
and "white supremacy" IS a menace
to the national peace, predicated upon
a contradiction of the constitution and
the spirit of republican institutions, in
which color is neither test of citizen
ship nor of protection to life and
property. 1t is the nations concern.
No "home rule" and "it is the ma
tons concern" That is, Congress
must pass the Force bill and compel
the white people to submit to the
negroes
He concludes thus:
"It is a condition and not a theory
that confronts us" 1t contains as
many elements of injustice and of
menace to the national peace and
dignity and honor as the condition of
slavery. The war amendments are
dead letters in most essentials in every
Southern State. 1t is the duty of the
nation to insist that every power in the
constitution is used to give force and
effect to these amendments, the just
fruit of bloody and costly war.
An open demand for the Force bill.
Before printing the letter the Herald !
submitted it to Fred Douglass, who
appended a letter to it. Douglass
says it is " one of the ablest and best
contributions to current literature
He says Z" the nation should find a
remedy for all this outrage and wrong )"
that is, Congress should pass the Force
bill. He says: 81 want to see the
negro question kept uppermost in the |
public mind.'' Tile negro is to-day
the soul Of Me Republican party. lie
is its life, its energy, that mighty force
that gaze impulse to its birM and er-
istenle." "There is a growing de-
mand tor strong government that
will be able to protect all its citizens
rich and poor, white and black
alike" 81 don't see anything for us
to do but to make sentiment favor
able to the race, and let US make it
aggressively.'
The whole of both these letters is a |
demand for the Force bill, and can
any man doubt that these negroes
know they are in line with the senti-
ment of their party when they make
this demand ?
