THE MONUMENT TO VANCE.

The movement to erect monument
to the late Senator Vance, Of North
Carolina, ought to commend itself to
the sympathy and generous aid not
only of the people Of his own State,
but of those of all sections OF the coun-
try who remember with admiration
the brilliant intellectual gifts and the
brave and sterling moral qualities
for which the grea, North Carollnlan
was so eminently distinguished. 1t, is
something of reflection upon the pa
uio,ism and appreciation Of his coun-
,r,men that such memorial should
sill lie lacking. In many respects Sen
ator Vance deserves TO rank with the
foremost men in cur public history.
His delightful and perennial flow OF
humor, which cap,iva!ed even his po-
li,ical enemies, measurably concealed
from the popular view the greater traits
and talents that he possessed in so large
a degree He was not merely an &C
complished orator, but statesman in
the bes, sense Of that word. He had
a peculiar endowment of sagacity and
far -sightedness, and combined rare ex-
ecutive ability with broad political
wisdom. He was typical American,
and his straightforward, homely, un-
pretentious character was democratic
to the core anc brought him into SYM
pathetic touch with the people and made
him the fearless and earnest champion Of
their rights and interests. 1t was his
love of justice and fair play, as we'll as
his genuine admiration of Hebrew
greatness, that inspired his striking
and eloquent lecture on "The Scattered
Nation," lecture which he delivered
in many parts OF the United States and
which had a powerful influence in dis
sipating the strong and unworthy pref
udiCes against the historic and heroic
Hebrew race While all admirers OF
simple an unadulterated democracy
and Of true Amerlcanism should be
eager to pay their tribute of respect to
his memory, the "Scattered Nation,
whose ancient glories he SO wildly
described and whose present right TO
equal consideration and respect he so
earnestly maintained, owe him an es-
pecial debt of gratitude, which they
will, no doubt, be glad to have an op-
portunity to acknowledge. Baltimore's
contributions to this object should be
generous and prompt and such as will
give creditable expression to the public
estimate Of the intellectual and moral
worth of Senator Vance. DR.. Thomas

the committee authorized to make
collections in Baltimore. The names

OF THE LATE SENA

The people of North Carolina will
learn with extreme qualification that
work Is about beginning on a biog
raphy Of the late Senator Zebulon b.
Vance. 1t IS in the hands of Hon.
Clement Dowd, whose name is a guar
antee that it will be worthy of the illus

dertaken by Maj. Dowd at the request
OF the surviving sons of the dead Sena-
tor, and IN It's production he will have
The cooperation of Hon. Rober B.
Vance, brother of tie deceased. Mai.
Dowd will also call to his assistance
Others capable of aiding him, and will
himself soon visit Raleigh to examine
the letter books of Governor Vance and
have transcribed such parts of them as
are needtul to his purposes. He will
also go to Washington and spend such
time as he needs to in the Congress
slonal Library, where alone can be
found much OF the public record Of the
subject of the biography. Such of the
lectures, addresses, private papers,
etc, of Senator Vance as are access-
bic Will be drawn upon, and it will be
sought IN every way 10 produce vol
ume which will commend itself TO the
people of North Carolina. With this
end in view Maj. Dowd will thank
any one having letters from Senator
Vance, from which may be drawn mat
ter calculated to add to the interest of
the book, for the use of such letters or
other papers. a volume of some 600
pages IS in mind. 1t will be properly
illustrated and a popular price will be
put upon 1t. 1t may be finished by
the end of this year
We cordially congratulate the fami-
ly and the public that Maj Dowd has
been induced to devote himself to the
preparation of this biography. There
IS not it, the State person SO we'll
qualified for the work For a number
of years between the removal of Gov
ernor Vance to Charlotte directly after
the war, and his election to the COVER
norship in 1876, Maj. Dowd was his
law partner, and to his death was his
confidential friend; and the biogra-
pher will bring to his labor of love a
charm of style and discriminating
judgment which will win the applause
of his fellow citizens. He has all the
mental equipment to fit him for the
task, he has the leisure, and when his
work is done all men will say it was
