A similar work was recently made

Why Il Became Necessary.
Wilkesboro Chronicle.

Wilkesboro Chronicle.
When E. Spencer Blackburn
is criticising the amendment,
he should also state why It
became necessary to enact
such a law. 1t was E. Spen-
GERS acts in the Legislature
and Others Of bis ilk that
made it absolutely necessary
to adopt the amendment. E.
Spencer must tell the people
that he and his Legislature
elected a negro door keeper
over a MANNED Confederate
soldier, and put in other me-
gro ofiicers over white men;
that he and his Legislature
abolished all the safeguards
which the Democrats b a d
thrown around the white peo
pie Of the EAST and turned
the eastern cities and coun-
ties over to negro rule, the
most disgusting and corrupt
in the history of the nations;
that he, his governor and his
legislature selected hundreds
OF negro officials over white
people. Thus they made it
by their own perfdious acts
absolutely necessary for the
white people to protect them
selves with the amendment.
E. Spencer and his crowd
must not now whine and
slobber over the consequence
es OF their own acts.

Fasehoods Of Blackburn-ltss.

FaDohOo0a OF BteCkburn'ltoSs
Wilkesboro Chronicle.
The Blackburn fellows he We
begun their usual process OF
campaign lying. They are
circulating that Mr.. Buxton
wac removed BY court from
the guardianship of some
children in Winston, because
OF mismanagement Of the al
fairs. The court records show
that:
/. Mr.. Buxton has been
guar dian twice in his life.
2. he was frstguardian Of
the children of q deceased
friend. 1t was settled in full,
as the records show, and un.
der his management the es-
tate considerably increased,
40 that he turned over to the
children a much larger a.
mount than he received in
trust for them. The record
further shows that he did not
charge the ten per cent. COM
mission which the law allows,
but he turned that, too, over
ito the children because ofthe
friendship exising between
him and the deceased parent.
3. The other time he was
guardian was for the children
OF his own wife's sister, Mrs.
Shelton. The record shows
that this matter il settled in
full. 1t also shows that Mr..
Buxton loaned Mr.. Alspangh
$4,000 of this estate. Mr..
Alspaugh was recognized to
he one of the best and safest
business men of the country
at that time. He however
became insolvent. and Mr.
Buxton went down into his
own pocket and paid the
$4,000 thus settling the es'
tate il full and not allowing
the children to suffer a single
cent of loss. .
This ia Mr.. Buxton's rec
ord as guardian. What rep.
rehensible conduct Mr.. Black
burn can discover in this rec.
ord is beyond the ken ofhon.
est men. Perhaps he finds in
lit such q difference. bea ming
rs a beacon light OF honesty
and true manhood, in COM
parison with bis own official
record. when he remembers
how rs U. s. Commissioners oi
Ashe he took fees to not send
eases up to the court and
how by his pIeadings in tears
he got Judge Dick to keep
him from the stripes by re-
signing the position that he
must needs try the last re-
sort OF a rogue of crying
"stop thief" for the purpose
OF distracting the gaze OF the
people from his own corrupt
self.

EXECUTION OF. CHANG.
WASHINGTON, Oct denomination
has been received here of the execution
on July 20 of Chang Yen Hoen, the form
er Chinese minister to the United States.
Chang was a loyal adherent to the en-
perOr and warm supporter of the lat
ter's reform movements. When the en-
press doWager supplanted the emperor
two years ago he was ordered beheaded,
but though the intervention of the Amer
lean and British ministers, his punish
ment was committed to banishment in
the distant province of Kashgaria. It
now appears that the empress doWager,
taking advantage of the late reign of ter
ror at Pekin, and knowing Chang's in
fiuence with the emperor, ordered his
execution by decapitation. Chang was
considered by those familiar with Chinese
affairs, as one of the abest men in Chi
ma. He had been decorated by the queen
Of Great Britain and by the emperors
Of Russia and Germany. He was pre-
eminently the most liberal and enlight-
ened Of Chinese statesmen and had his
life been spared till the occupation of
Pekin by the allies, he doubtless would
have been recalled and have taken an
active part in the pending negotiations
and future government of China
Secretary of State Hay has received
a dispatch from Consul McWade at cam
ton, saying that the imperial troops have
recaptured Hui Chow and that the rebels
have dispersed to the eastward.
