GOT EN- AT LAST"
Ephriam in His Glory and Can Bake
His Sims.
Oxford Public LEDGER

AS we stepped into the courthouse
after Or. l.. c.. Taylor had given his
bond and assumed charge Of the register
of deeds office, we heard one of the
colored brethren exclaim: Got 'em at last
and de democrats do die so hard, and
hate so bad to give up de courthouse to
we niggers, ha! hal
As soon as the new register of deeds
took possession of his office the colored
brethren took possession of the room as
they have been doing the Superior court
clerks room for two years, and it was
with difficulty that one could get in to
attend to business at this particular
time Every chair was occupied around
the ire place by them. Indeed it was
glorious day for Chief Mogul Bill Register
and his followers, and they certainly will
be strictly in it this winter as all the
offices in the courthouse are now, as
they verify believe, their personal prop
erty.
They can sit around in the chairs in
front of the fires, taking no notice of
white people who come in to attend to
business, bake their shins and nod to their
hearts content.
Well, we do not blame them. as they
are entitled to something after they have
furnished the big luscious pies for their
white leaders to munich at their expense
Shades of 1868, comfort and console the
white people If you can!

A VALUABLE MEMORIAL.


Col Wharton J. Green has had copy
righted very handsome Autograph of
the letter which ex-President Davis wrote
to the invita- ton committee of the CEN
tennial celebration OF the adoption OF the
Federal Constitution, which took place in
this city on the 21st of November, 1889.
AS most of our readers know, Fayette
vile was, hundred and odd years ago,
one of the alternate capitals Of North
Carolina, and it was during the session of
the Legislature held in the old State
House, which stood where the present
Town Hall is, that the accession" of
North Carolina to the new Union was ac-
complished.
Some persons ESPECIALLY at the North
wondered at the time what favorable con-
nection the ex-President of the Confed-
eracy could have with celebration of the
adoption of the Constitution--the Consti-
tuition which established that more per-
feet union which the States of the for
mer Confederation had entered into
shortly after they achieved their indie
pendence That was because those crit
les were ignorant, and ignorant of the
most vital facts of our Constitution his
tory.
There is no document which so clearly
and completely demonstrates the C0nsti-
tutional regularity of the action of the
seeding States-in contrast, it may be
added with the violence done the Con-
stitution by Mr.. Lincoln's government
as this letter written by the ex-President
OF the Confederacy. Nor is there, so far
as we know, any tribute to the unique
career OF our beloved mother State which
has proceeded from a source so exalted
and so disinterested and which is 80 just
and full.
For these reasons the document which
Col. Green and his associates Of the COM
mittee have had so beautifully engraved,
is probably the most highly TO be priced
by North Carolinians of any single re-
cord in their history. 1t was recogni-
ton Of this fact that led these gentlemen
to put it in form convenient for preser-
Walton. The Telegraph is Is by 10 inches,
and the script of the letter is surmounted
by handsome likeness of Mr.. Davis, by
a representation of the splendid monu-
ment ghich is to be erected to his memo
ry in Richmond, and by reproduction
in colors of the three flags OF the Con-
federacy. 1t is upon bristol board, and
is intended to be framed. Capt. NeiU
w. Ray, one of the committee, has large
supply OF these Autographs, which are to
be sold at 25 cents each, and the pro-
ceeds OF which, after paying the cost of
the engraving, are to be devoted to the
Jefferson Davis Monument Fund"

HEAVENS BLEST GIFT.

Amid the golden gifts which heaven
Has left, like portions of it's light on
earth,
None hath such influence as music hath.
The painters rues stand visibly before us
In power and beauty-we can trace the
thoughts
Which are the workings of the poet $
mind;
But music is a mystery, and yiewless
Even when present, and is less mans
act
And less within his order; for the hand
That can call forth the tones, yet cannot
tell
Whittier they go, or if they live or die,
Whom hoated once beyond his feeble ear;
And then, as if it were an unreal thing,
The wind will sweep from the neglected
strings,
As rich swell as ever minstrel drew.

WHERD MRS. CONVICTION WAS
FOUND.

The Lenoir Topic says, concerning Mrs.
Coyington:
Saturday evening DR.. Kent received
telegram from Mr.. Covington that every
thing was all right, and yesterday an
other one to him stated that they had
found her in nice hospital, well cared
for, and that the physicians said she had
been suffering from temporary alteration
of mind, but would soon be all right and
they would leave that night for Smith
field, N. c., where her parents have late
ly moved. Two letters were also received
yesterday evening by ladies here which
gave the facts substantially as stated
above.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced in finding the lady in Baltimore,
from what we learn; arising, no doubt,
from the fact that she had located her
self in rather an out-of-the-way, though
celebrated, institution-the Maryland
General Hospital
1t is a peculiar case. No one seems
able to fix up a satisfactory explanation.
The most reasonable one, and the one
which most people whom we have heard
speak of it here in Lenoir use, is thus
given in the Baltimore Sun OF last Fri
day:
''She had been in poor health for sew
eral months and recently expressed de-
sire to visit Baltimore and to go to some
hospital for treatment 1T is believed that,
while demented, she endeavored to carry
out this intention"
Much sympathy has been expressed
for the young couple

WHY NOTHING IS DONE.
There is too Much Division in the Sen
ate.


Washington, Dec. 17.-One of the lead
ers Of the Foreign Affairs committee said
tonight that Congress must act If Cuba
is to be saved.
II do not" he continued, ''fook for any
different position during the next admins
tration from the one we now have. Mr.
Mckinley will be under the influence of
the same men who are now holding Mr.
Cleveland in check These men will ex-
ert the same power over his successor.
John Sherman, chairman of the commit
tee, represents the policy Of this admins
tration ON Cuban question, and he will
represent the next. That policy fears to
disturb somebody's dollars, and, until we
can overthrow the love of pelf and set up
patriotism in its place we cannot depend
upon executive action as safeguard for
Cuba"
A careful analysis OF the personnel Of
the committee ON Foreign Relations puts
the membership in this position: Chair
man Sherman, of Ohio, Mr.. Gray, OF Del
aware, unwilling that anything should be
done; Mr.. Davis, of Minnesota, and Mr..
Daniel, of Virginia, anxious but not will
ing to take any steps whatever until more
authentic information has been received;
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts, appears to
be on the fence and undecided what to do
or how to do it. Mr.. Lodge, being
Massachusetts man and close to Olney,
has the habit OF endorsing the policy OF
the Secretary OF State; Mills and Morgan
want the island seized and war with
Spain declared at once; Mr.. Cullom, Mr..
Turpie and Mr.. Frye, of Maine, believe
it would be better to recognize the indie
nendence OF the island and put the bur-
den of further action on Spain, and then
fight her il this recognition does not give
Cuba all she is now asking Mr. Came
ron believes recognition of the indie
pendence of the island viii do for Cuba
all that she needs, and that beyond that
we ought not to go.
The question is: Can those extremes
meet tomorrow on common ground? If
Morgan and Mills will give little, it is
thought that the others will come half
way.

Prominent local Republicans, when
asked about the report that III. A. Gud-

They have all along supposed that the
new bird in the Republican nest would
not attempt to fly higher than some place
in the consular service, and the idea that
he wants to go to Mexico-well, they
think it too funny. Hence the smiles.
They believe that when Gudger gets to
Mexico snowballs will be lying in heaps
on the square in August.
