MORE PRIZES.
A Spanish Schooner, Loaded With
Corn and Provisions, Brought 10
Key West.

Key West, Fla, August 1.-The
Spanish schooner Dolores, 60 tons,
loaded with corn and provisions, and
bound frcm Progresso, Mexico, for
Batabano, has been added to the list
of war prizes. She was captured by
the gunboat Eagle near Corrientes bay
week ago yesterday and was brought
in to-day by Ensign Craven.
The Badger, which took her prizes
to Tortugas a few days ago, is still
there awaiting orders. Her prizes are
a barge. a brig and towboat which
were trying to get from Nuevitas to
Havana Three hundred and eighty
two sick and wounded Spanish sol
diers, some of whom have lost legs
and arms, are aboard the prizes, which
are held in quarantine.
At the Tortugas, reports of the bonn
bardment of Nuevitas are also current,
but no one is permitted to approach
the Badger or her prizes, and the de-
tails cannot be learned.

tion Of the wars chief cause, lest It Of
fend that chimerical thing our enemy
CAN their "honor?" Is no direct men
ton to be made in the terms of peace
of the loss of the Maine-for it will not
do to say it is included in the general
terms-not even an indemnity for the
support of the families left by the
Names brave dead? Are we to close
the war without even asking an
apology from the nation responsible for
this cruel and inhuman treachery-
the one thing that united this nation
for war?
To thus allow Spain to escape the
consequences of her dastardly deed,
deed to avenge which we
have poured out the blood of American
heroes, would be tantamount to end
ing the war without having accom-
plished it's chief purpose. This is not
to be thought of, and the administra-
ton at Washington must be made to
know the fact; indeed, it is astcnish-
ingly remiss in its failure to take &C
count of it.
An indemnity for the bereaved faml-
lies of the Maine heroes, at least an
apology for that great crime, is the
least the American people will accept
as a reparation.

TIE MAINE AND rue PEACE TERMS

IHE MA1NE AND THE PEACE TERMS.
The President has very seriously
blundered in neglecting to take ac-
count Of the treacherous destruction OF
the battleship Maine in framing hi,
terms Of peace to Spain. The peon1e
OF the United States will not be salts
ned unless this infamy is brought home
to Spain and thrust down the throat
Of the Spanish government responsib1e
for the cruel and treacherous destruc-
ton of our ship and her sailors An
indemnity for the support of the fami-
lies of the murdered crew of the Maine
Will suffice, or an Acknowledgement in
the form of an apology by Spain that
she was responsible for the deed: but
In some form and directly and distinct
ly the Maine should be included as an
item in the settlement of the war, as it
was the chief cause of the war, and in
neglecting to do so the President will
make a mistake which the American
people will not overlook.
Remember the Maine" has been orr
battle cry from the first. The das-
tardly destruction of that ship was one
thing that alone solidified the various
factions of the people and made them
one in demanding a just vengeance ON
the inhuman perpetrators of the in
fanny. 1t was the cause of the war
and as such was directly mentioned in
gress's declaration of war, as follows:

The School Book Cheat.

The school book business in this State
has, like many other things, been a de-
fusion and a fraud. 1t has enabled the
book companies which have about got
ten control of the State to sell an entire
new set of books. Our people are i'll
formed that old books can be exchanged.
This is misleading. They can be, but
not On equal terms, the old book is prac-
tically lost and the dealer will exchange
nothing that is not in fairly good con-
dition. So the exchange business
amounts to little or nothing as the old
book has usually to be given away and
new one bought, and the result is a
new set of books have been sold by the
book companies, and the people have
been put to heavy expense. The his
tories and Biographies were very objec-
tionable, but why the bars were lei down
to all dealers, the people will be slow to
learn, and they ought to complain as
they have just ground to. The exchange
is the worst fraud in the business, be-
cause people think the old books will
bring them something till they try.

The DUTY of Democrats.

Few know how the money power OF
this country works. 1t works as the
conspirator. 1t works in secret. 1t
holds its conclayes, and it arranges its
plots. Itgreases its body and it slips in
as the thug. BY conspiracy it killed
silver 1t is now. conspiring to kill the
greenback, and then it will kill the ma
tion. The people should be aroused.
They should act before it is too la e.
The elevation of a Republican Congress
means the elevation of trusts, and the
election of trusts means the ruin and
slavery of the people. The trust is the
vampire; the victim is the people. Both
cannot win at one and the same time.
AS the vampire fattens, the victim dies.
Let us remember this and kill the YAM
pire on the Sth of November, lest we
die on the evening of the same day.

Local friction" is good. The Repub-
lican leaders of the State have been de

treasury for specializing purposes; they
have lost hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of the States money by using the
money of the State in the banks in
which it was deposited, they have gut
ted and ruined two such banks; U. S.
Senator Quay, his son. and all eX-State

man of the Republican Congressional
committee at Washington calls it local

MAKING A STILL HUNT.

Editor of THE SPECTATOR: We
learn through reliable sources that Col
r. I. Hubbard, Col. James Lyons, Col.
j. Hampton Hoge and Col. S. Brown
Allen are making what they call a ''still
hunt through the county in the inter
est of the Republican party. They hope
to run the Democratic coon up the tree
with dogs that do not bark, and hardly
let the coon know they are after him till
the tree is ready to fall. They have we
learn, taken pains to make all their ap-
pointments so as to fall just after the
Democrats have spoken in that neigh
borhOod, and thus get in the last word
and sweep away the effect of the Demo
cratic speech. They are also leaving the
slime of their trail in the way of corrup
ton fund, it is said, aud this being so
in Keeping with Republican practices.
it is certainly reasonable to believe il
on general principles. This ''still-hunt'
is a la Allen. 1t Is the evolution of his
upward tendency in politics, growing
and Improving in force and elegance, BY
reason of his long experience, and
greater protundity Of knowledge. 1t has
| a flavor Of stealthlness about il, if true,
| which is not apt 90 set we'll upon the
people of Augusta. These people are
highminded; they conduct their business
in manly way, and as to their religion.
and their politics, or their other beliefs,
they have nothing to conceal about them.
These are an open book, and when men
come sneaking in or wish to do thiogs
behind the door, OIL in a cat like or
stealthy manner, undertake to enlist
them in cause, they become doubtful
about the cause, and are slow to take
hold of If. This tactics hight suit some
sections. Il may suit men after thu
manner of these men, some of whose
principles have undoubtedly changed
for the sake of official advancement, but
it will be hard to cram such politics
down the tbrOats of the people of Au-
gusta, OF deceive them by such question
able methods. At Greenvilie this still
hunt" business has been practiced
Judge Quarles is to speak there on Fri
day afternoon, November 4. The ''still
hunters" are to be there thai night and
have engaged the same hall. This has
been their practice and will be until the
day of election. AS soon as the Demo
Gratis find that these methods are being
practiced, and that their campaign is
one of questionable methods instead of
being bold. open, fearless, and their
principles high. and of character to
enoice uonoTaole Iuep, tnen VIII tHey
never be drawn from their party path, or
principles. Certainly Republicauism in
North Carolina has been such as that
our people do not want it. Nor have
they forgotten the past, when we were
threatened by some of these same lead
ers. with such dangers to our peace and
good government, as makes US tr5mble
when we see the narroWnesS Of our eS.

reputation of ''still Hunting" and still
hunters" by refusing to attend their
meetings and by coming to the polls on
November 8, and forever placing their
stamp of disapproval on such methods
