TRINITY NEW PREIDEN

The trustees of Trinity College
yesterday elected Prof. John G.
Kilgo, of the faculty of Wofford
College, to succeed DR.. John F.
Crowen, resigned. Prof. Kilgo
comes to Trinity with the high
est recommendations, He has
been filling the same chair in
Wofford that William Wallace
Duncan filled before his election
to the bishopric, and chair
that has been filled by men Of
the highest capacity and require
ments, ard the President of the
college states that Prof. Kilgo
has measured fully up to the
standard, Bishop Duncan says
that Wofford can hardly afford
to give up Prof. Kilgo.
Prof. Kilgo will have the
hearty, earnest cooperation of
all the friends of Trinity College.
Trinity will perhaps enter upon
a new era of progress and pros
perity. With a strong man at
the head of the college it should
forge ahead and take it's place in
the front ranks of education in
North Carolina.
Durham has reason to be proud
of Trinity.-Durhona Globe.

Passing Away.

Judge Holt, who was the
Judge Advocate on the court
martial that tried Mrs. Surrat,
has just died from the effects of
a fall. We believe that no per-
son who was prominently con-
nected with that judicial murder,
has died natural death. Judge
Hollis connection with the affair
was particularly scandalous. It
is said that there was a recon-
mendation of mercy signed by the
members of the court, which he
suppressed and did not present
to the President.
The Baltimore Sun says.
1.-The late John T. Ford, of
Baltimore, who was manager of
the theatre in Washington in
which President Lincoln was as
sassinated by J. Wilkes Booth,
was a firm believer in the inno-
cence of Mrs. Surratt of any
completely with the plot, and on
a number of occasions defended
vigorously her memory in the
press. Mr.. Ford'was in Richmond
Va, at the time Of the assassina-
ton, but on hearing of it returned
home and was arrested in Balti-
more April II, 1865, and kept
imprisoned for forty days in the
old Capitol, Washington. For
few days he was in prison with
Mrs. Surratt prior to her removal
to the penitentiary (the arsenal
building) in Washington. While
in the old Capitol Mr.. Ford came
in contact with the witnesses
against Mrs. Surratt-Weichm
and Iloyd-and was, by what he
heard from them. convinced of
Mrs. Surratt's innocence of any
knowledge Or completely with
the assassination of President
Lincoln. Mrs Surratt and WEIGH
man and Lloyd were strangers
to Mr.. Ford at the time.
Both Weichman and Lloyd
were conspicuous in their ex-
preston of terror The latter
said he had been threatened with
| torture and Intlmated that he had
to say what he did against Mrs.
Surratt to secure relief. Mr..
Ford declared that the memory
of his contact with these two
men, without whose testimony
there was no shadow of a crime
against Mrs. Surratt, ma6e her
execution a fearful horror. Mr..
Ford made strenuous efforts to
have her sentence committed and
appealed directly to President
johnson by letter.
Mr.. Ford always contended
and cited evidence in his publish
ed articles to show that Judge
Holt, as judge advocate general,
had not presented to President
Johnson a recommendation of
mercy in Mrs. Surratt's case
which had been signed by five
members of the military commits
sion before which she was tried.
| Mr.. Ford attended the trial OF
! Mrs. Surratt and afterward
stated it was the unanimous opin-
, ion of those with whom he dis
cussed the subject that her ankles
were manacled. Other prisoners
were handcuffed and allowed to
remain SO in the presence OF
Judge Holt

GRANTHAMS, july % 'o4

GRANTHAMs, July 90. '94.
Dear A,.yhs:-This beautiful
morning, when nature seems
loveliness within itself, and all
mankind ought to be at peace
with his neighbor and full of
thankfulness to his God for the
many blessings bestowed, especi-
ally for the beautiful crops given
to our Southland, I propose com
menting just a little on Mr.. E. II.
Parker's notice published in your
esteemed daily of yesterday.
Mr.. Parker calls on all who
think their liberties and their
prosperous conditions have been
taken from them to come out and
hear the great Bull of Bashon.
Suppose we could call up Old Mr..
Zachariah Parker tMr. E. H.
Parker::s grandfather) from his
angelic home, let him stalk
around his old home in Granthams
township, and say whether Or
not we are less prosperous now
than in his day.
Let him look around his old
neighborhood and see the i'm
provements made, the manner
of living now, compared with his
day the fine style of his grand
children, the improved vehicles
they ride in to church and to their
county seat, the many churches
and school houses that dot this
beautiful land of ours. Knowing
old Mr.. Parker to have been one
of the best men this writer ever
saw, we would be willing for him
to be the Jury, and say whether
or not this country is not in a
more prosperous condition, and
more people enjoying their liberty
now, than in his day.
Let US come little nearer to
young Mr.. Parker's home: call up
his uncle, Mr.. w. r. Parker, of
your city, go back with him to
the time when he (Mr. w. R.
Parker) lived in a log cabin near
the Hall old mill place, with Tom
Myers to help him work his crop,
and let him say whether or not,
the people of to-day do not live
far better than then.
Its true we are not SO happy
now, as then, but its our own
selfishness: we want the earth
and the fullness thereof, and
would like to sit in the shade to
Iobtain it.
Let Mr.. E. H. Parker compare
his educational advantages and
other ways of Improvement, with
those enjoyed by his father, ano
men of his fathers day, [ think
| he will be ashamed of himself
for sticking" his name to such
a piece of nonsense.
| We would like to pay our re
spects to Wayne Counties grea
"Refomer" DIR. Person, and say
to him, if he would do the laborers
: of Wayne County a deed of char
| ity, allow a few of them the pri
vilege of going on his Nahunts
farm, work those lands, and re
claim them, make bread for theil
children and become more pros
lperous and better citizens.

people. Comrades of many vic
torious battles fought and won,
proud of your wen-earned tro-
phies, in whose veins flow the
blood of patriots and statesmen,
who have never yet faltered
when duty called. your coun-
try demands your services. Come
and let US make an effort in the
party-the grand old Democratic
party-that has survived all
other parties, to rescue our
country and people from that
which threatens a worse seryi-
tude than Russian serfdom.
Mr.. Editor, we present to the
people from this district for
Congress a man true and tried,
descended from pure Democratic
ancestry. has been in public life
for several years, and by his
high moral course and legisla.
tive capacity has won the re.
spect and confidence of the peo.
pie. Being emphatically a peo
ple's man, he is also one of the
most feeling and humane men
always ready and willing tc
help the oppressed and needy.
Such never go to him in vain.
Being a very magnetic man he
has the happy faculty of drawing
people towards him. The name
of Hon. B. F. Aycock would be
tower of strength, and if he is
the nominee, grand and glofi
Gus victory would crown the eff
forts of Democrats in Novem
Der. What say the people?

Pass the Tariff Bill.

The contradictory gueSSeS made
at Washington as to the outcome
of the tariff conference may be
accounted for by the divergent
views of the opposing factions
as to what the outcome ought to
be. There are two kinds of OBJ
structionists in the way of an
agreement, the practical Sena-
tors who will accept no modifi-
cation of their own terms and
the theoretical Representatives
who will make no terms at all.
AS between these two, agreement
is impossible; the question 10
whether the few on either side
are to govern the action of Con-
gress, or whether the urgent de-
mand of the country at large, in
cluding the great body of the
Democratic party who are not
disposed to quibble either for
abstract theories Or for practical
details, but who want the tariff
issue settled now-can make
itself felt above this war of fac
tionS.
That the popular desire is with
the House and the President,
rather than with the striking
Senators, it needs no resolutions
to make clear. But the popular
desire is first of all for the
achievement of the work es
pecially charged upon this Con-
gress, the revision of the reve-
nue. system, and imperfections in
this work will be far more readily
forgiven than failure to accom-
plish anything. That will be
utterly objectionable, and it will
involve in general condemnation
not alone the few Senators who
may be directly and morally re-
lsponsible for the present entan-
gelment, butCongress and the ad-
ministration and the whole Demo.
cratic party.
The people want the tariff
settled, and they want it settled
now. Only reckless partisans
can entertain the idea of prolong
ing this controversy into another
campaign, and Republicans and
Democrats alike will rejoice when
the tariff issue is finally removed
from our politics, as it will be by
the passage of reasonable bill
within the next few weeks. The
one duty of the Democrats at
Washington, therefore, whether
Senators or Representatives, is
not to stand out for their theories
or their.constitutional rights, but
to get together on common
ground and pass the bill. 1t is
not question of the triumph OF
defeat of individuals; it is rather
Iaquestion of the salvation or de
!, lstruction of the Democratic
j party, and more than that, of tht
peace and prosperity of the coun

The Tariff Matter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-When
the tariff conference broke up
this afternoon the House mem
bers reported to their friends
that substantial progress was be-
ing made, but as usual declined
to state in what particulars. One
of the. House conferees said to-
day that an agreement on coal,
iron ore and sugar would certain
ly be reached either Saturday or
Monday next.
One of the Senate conferees
said to-day that the bill is now
in. such shape that an agreement
can be reached very speedily if
the House wishes it, or. the
whole bill may be defeated if the
House insists upon it.
The House caucus is off for
the present. Mr.. Holman stated
to-day that so long as the con-
ferees report substantial prog
ress in the settlement of their
differences, there is no necessity
for the call. A caucus will be
held only when it lis apparent that
the representatives of the two
Houses are in a deadlock which
can only be broken by instruct
| ing the House conferees as to
their duty in the matter.

HIS WORK LIVES AFTER HIM.

The memorial for George Will
liam Curtis proposed by the
Curtis Memorial Association is
so modest that it can hardly fail
of accomplishment. It is the
foundation of a perpetual lee
tureship in connection with
some university, and the placing
of a portrait bust somewhere in
New York.
The themes of the lectures
will be good citizenship and the
high ideals of a free people
subjects that were dear to his
soul and illustrated by his life
and writings.
When times are out of joint,
we feel the need of such instruc-
ton. In our population are dis
cordant elements. The recently
naturalized citizen knows moth
ing of the institutions he assails.
And there are some natives in
the depths of ignorance. We
must teach them that while they
enjoy greater blessings and
higher privileges than in any
other country, there are also
duties to be discharged and laws
to be obeyed.
Lectures on good citizenship
cannot fail of good results-and
the future will bring forth good
fruit. Enlightenment of mind
and conscience is needed to keep
universal suffrage from being q
failure.
Thousands of men and women
throughout the United States de-
light in the wit and wisdom an6
tender grace of the Easy Chair
and ''Prue and T. are firside
friends. They will be happy to
contribute to this Memorial, il
recognition of the large soul
wide sympathy and unselfisl
aims, that made George William
Curtis "a SON. kissed man tina
lived above the fogs.''

Let me know it twill ever be,
Filled with deep emotions.

That will bind you closer, closer,
That will make you love me deal
