FORMER house journal clerk H.
Il. Smith, speaking of polygamist
congressmanRoberts of Utah, says
"Roberts has as much right to be
sworn in as any other representa-
tive-elect; after he is in, the house
can easily declare his seat vacant
if the majority of the house do
not want his company" Mr.. Smith
says the crusaders are beginning
at the wrong end to oust him.

AS soon as an attraction is book
ed at the opera house it is Gus
tomary for the public to ask !:
"How many are there in the com
pany?" The question that should
be asked is: "Who are the actors
or artists, and are they good?" 1t
only requires a moments reflection
to realize that no manager can car
ry a company of ten, fifteen or
twenty artists and have them all
hrst-class, for good artists not only
demand large salary but insist
on its being paid. Mr.. Haywood
believes that the general public
prefer to see six or eight frst-olass
city artists to whole stage full of
transformers" and has surround
ed himself with artists as fine in
their respective lines as Heywood
is in his. The result is a perform
ance that from rise to fall of cur
tain is full of pure fresh fun, popu-
lar music, entertaining specialties,
and beautiful women. This attrac-
ton is to appear here on the even
ing of October 10th, at the opera
house.

That 4th Section of the Proposed
Amendment.
Concord Standard.)

We notice that the last sentence in
section Of the proposed amendment
to the Constitution as presented last
Friday night in Democratic caucus
reads, POLL taxes shall be a lien
only on assessed property and no
process shall issue to enforce the col
lection of the same except against
assessed property"
We hope we are not in error in our
very strong conviction that the very
opposite is the right direction, The
power to garnishee the employer is
good but does not extend far enough.
The courts have decided, we believe,
that taxes are not debt in the ordi-
nary sense Of the term but moral
obligation. The non-payment Of the
poll tax could be made to rank among
misdemeanors and the penalty could
ba made the working out OF the tax
and the cost Of process on the public
roads.
1t goes without saying that no one
should be allowed to vote who refuses
or neglects to pay mis- poll tax, but to
relinquish the right to vote should
not be relief from paying the tax.
Characters who refuse or neglect to
pay poll tax are about the last to
give you half the road, and the first
to take the benefit Of the law for
trivial infringements on their rights.
You must stop your business, too,
and attend court in their defense,
where the law presumes that justice
demands it, whether you get cent
| for it or not.

LAST CHARGE AT APPOMATTOX.

(Gen. w. 4. COX.l
Soon after the Civil war / prepared
a careful and accurate account of the
last charge OF the army Of Northern
Virginina at Appomattox. This was
published in the public press Of the
State, while the participants in this
charge of Grimes division were living
and could testify to the facts if
questioned. SO far as am informed,
they past unchallenged.
The present statement is prepared
from my recollection Of facts, pub
lished as before stated. Owing to
the disaster to our army at Sailors
Creek and the hasty Abandonment Of
our wagon train and supplies, the
army was organized into two corps,
commanded respectively, by Long
street and Gordon. On April Sth our
poorly clad and starving soldiers
marched on toward Appomattox with
but little interference. 1t was the
purpose of Lee to move on to Dan
Vile and join forces with Johnston.
who was then retiring before Sher-
man in North Carolina. Grant an
ticipated his purpose and by means
OF railroad facilities and interior
lines was enabled to mass q large
part Of his troops in our front. On
the seventh Grant had written and
proposed Lees surrender, which was
declined. and again on the eighth he
renewed the offer to which Lee re-
piled on the ninth, and agreed to
meet him at teno'clock to ascertain
the terms he would propose, for upon
their character depended the nature
of his decision. On the evening OF
the eighth. to rest his weary and
worn troops Lee ordered a halt nea,
Appomattox Court House. Before
day Gordon moved his corps with
Grimes division in front through
and halted it on an elevation beyone
the village. While resting on ou
arms some of our men, notably
privstes J. c. Scarborough and W. H
Pace, were parching corn in little i'm
provised fires, when skirmishing il
our front began. Here l receive'
orders from Gordon to throw forwar'

mounted and dismounted, supported
by artillery, which after hot en-
counter we swept from before us,
after the loss of some of my men,
chiefly from artillery. The only
support on left was Wise's brigade,
then reduced to mere skeleton line.
Very soon we engaged infantry
troops, and after some captures
Federal officer was brought to me,
from whom l learned that Ord's
whole corps WAS in my front. In the
meantime Gordon had sought Gen.
Lee ana acquainted him with the
overwhelming force in his front.
whereupon l halted the division,
when Capt. London. of Grimes staff,
rode up and said: General Grimes
directs you to retire" AS | sought

great danger Of my command being
surrouned and captured. there
fore directed my aide, Lieutenant
OduCS -. Ddttlc, " suuulou tuc

ade and meet ME, while still with
drawing, at their centre. | unfolded
to them my purpose, which was,
while still retiring, to face the brig
ade about, charge with the ''rebel
yell'' to the top of an elevation be-
yond which the enemy were advanc-
ing, there halt, fire by brigade, face
about and double quick to the rear.
This precaution was given because
amidst the confusion of battle,
troops do not always catch the orders,
and to make this movement a sue
cess, it had to be executed with
celebrity and intelligence. The order
was given, and as the enemy saw us
approach, pprehending hand con-
tlict, they commenced to deploy with
great alacrity and precision, when the
brigade promptly halted and as
promptly fired into the deploying
line, which fell to the ground as we
fired. Without losing seconds my
brigade faced about, double quicked,
rallied on the division before the
enemy recovered from the shock.
But other troops too numerous to
encounter were rapidly enveloping
this gallant brigade. Thereupon l
deployed the Second and parts Of the
First and Third regiments as skir-
mishers to cover our retreat, and
these troops Fired the last round in
that grand old army whose fortunes
we had for four long and weary years
shared. Before this action, without
our knowledge the flag of truce was
already accepted. AS we marched
toward the main body of the corps,
Gordon met us and exclaimed,
'Grandly and gloriously done" In
his autobiography Sheridan says he
was SO e,iraged by this fire, kept up
after the flag of truce was accepted,
he was tempted to renew the battle.
While my losses were severe, under
the circumstances our escape was
most fortunate. This account is in
tended to briefly outline one part of
the last days at Appomattox. In
common with the survivors of those
days of hallowed memory, we avoid
when practicable, controversy as to
past events, and hail with pleasure
the present glory of our common
country. and trust that by wisdom,
intelligence and patriotism, each
tomorrow may find her greater and
greater.

North Carolina after being stirred
to its depths as never hut once be-
fore, If then, has sent her strongest
and worthiest sons to Raleigh to exc
cute her unequivocal mandate. That
madate is to establish in all it's
bearings white supremacy. One of
these, second only in Importance to
the franchise question, is that Of sep
arate accommodation for the races in
railroad cars.
Mixed cars and waiting rooms have
caused more friction between the
races than, l think l might say, all
other things together. The people
are determined on this point. The
Legislature, and through it the Dem
ocratic party, is now on trial. Pub
lie interest aroused as never before

men. Their mission is more momen-
tous than that of any of it's predeces-
sors. The peace and quiet of the
State for generations, to all appear
ances, depend upon its action being
sure and true. The times are ripe
The tide OF world affairs is eminently
propitious. Woe be to us if we lose
that tide

but prompt and decisive. The rail-
roads have in this connection an OPP
portunity to largely rehabiliate them
selves with the people; to remove
much Of the credit for years accumu-
lating to their debit. If they are
wise, if they are not purblind, they
will read Alright the signs of the times,
and yield a ready and gracious acqui-
escence. The day is pregnant with
good or i'll to them as to all 1t rests
with them to choose. Woe be to
them and to the Democratic party,
now omnipotent, if there is shadow
of suspicion of collusion to defeat
the public will and the public veal.
