None of the enemy in force was anywhere near that local- and I felt sure that some stray was riding that way, and we went ahead till we could command a view of the road below, and in a minute a confederate officer in a brand new uniform, bright pings and a fine sword came by on a beautiful horse. He was a hand- i some fellow, and, all unconscious of his danger, was whistling a merry air. Of course, we must capture him. but how to do it was a question at first, but we soon settled on a quiet little ambuscade, and in five minutes more we had him covered and he threw up his hands.

As the orderlies turned the bend the young man turned his horse and started back down the road on a dead run. I gave him a good start and then I banged away at him with my revolver and went after him, but I took the wrong road at the forks, and my orderlies came after me as fast as they could.

He was a courtly old chap, but bitterer than gall, and beyond reconstruction. He wouldn't speak to a and there were times when it was almost necessary to put him under guard for his own safety. He was too old to dangerous, but occasionally ho talked so we had to threaten him. One day I was almost startled out of my wits by his coming into my head- quarters. He was white with sup- pressed feeling, but he managed to tell me that there was a lady at his house, a very near and dear relative, his only daughter, in fact, who wanted to see me that evening at seven o'clock. He had been very loath to come to a Yankee, he said, but she insisted so that he was compelled to do it, and then he bowed and went out like an old king with his crown gone. There was no explanation and I told the provost marshal about it and said I was going up myself to see what it meant. He was sure there was a trap laid for me and did not want me to go at all, but I told him southern hospitality did not betray people and I would go.

Never- although the payment of tithes could be evaded, there were other hardships disabilities which dissenters, including Pres- as well as Baptists. Methodists, Quakers, Unitarians and lies could not avoid. All these nonconformists suffered from the muster law, by which a was made favor of the of the Church of England against dissenting ministers. Then, again, although Scotland supposed to enjoy equal I rights with England in the Presbyterian ministers were not allowed to perform the till ; and when they did perform it, the fee went to the local ministers of the of England. To other dissenters, Quakers excepted, this right was not conceded before Worst of all was the en- in North Carolina of the Schism act, repealed in Eng- land 1718, which prohibited anyone from keeping a school the provinces unless he had ob- I a certificate from the Au- authorities. There is not a doubt that the enforcement of this act to the period of tho revolutionary war, through the widespread ignorance which it engendered, is fur the large percentage of literacy, and for the backward- of intellectual activity char- of tho State to-day. If tho Revolution really began in North Carolina, as the natives of that State it was be cause the people were even more inflamed by a desire for religious freedom than by the wish for The bill of rights and State constitution, adopted by tho Provincial Con- at Halifax in December, 1776, asserted the natural and in- alienable right of men to worship Almighty God according to tho dictates of their own consciences. It was farther laid down there should be no establishment of any one religious Church or denomination in the State of North Carolina in preference to other. Neither should person, on be com- led to attend place of ship contrary to his own faith, or judgment, or be obliged to pay for the purchase of any or the building of any house of ship, ox the maintenance of any minister, contrary to what ho be- right or had voluntarily and personally engaged to per- form. On the contrary, all per- sons should be at liberty to their own mode of worship. These declarations involved the downfall of the established Church. It only remained for the laws of tho new State to be brought conformity with the constitution.

Many j lawyers declared, their views to have been followed I practice, that tho clause excluded nobody, that, for of a tribunal to expound and en- force it, tho provision was a dead letter. There is no doubt that the clause had been aimed at Roman Catholics. But it had never been interpreted Thorn as Burke, who professed tho j Catholic faith, was a member of the Continental Congress from North 1781, was i Governor of the State. There was no State office, from j that of Governor down to that of , constable, which had one I time or boon filled by a Catholic. Perhaps tho most dis I of these was William Gaston, who had successful- a member of the State Senate, a Representative in Congress, and a justice of the State Supreme Court.

This much, however, may be said to tho credit of tho body, that such an occurrence is quite an unusual thing and it is much to be that it had not in some way been obviated in tho present case. It is very evident that those of tho colored people who have minds and opinions of their own, and are not driven about by a boss like so many cattle, are not- taking much stock in Third party bosh- The last issue of the Worker, a paper published here by colored gives its opinion thus about a recent Third party here under the guise of an Alliance lecture.

It is a critical time in the history of tho Democratic party. We are suffering from the bad legislation of thirty years put upon us by the Republican party. The Dem- now have control of both branches of Congress and the President. The country from one end to the other is filled with ca- howlers and chronic who profess to believe that the being now in power can and ought to give immediate relief- Just think that Congress should expected to undo in one week what a great party has been doing for the past thirty years- No sensible person expects such thing, but their have sprung up professed of the people who are duping them to that tho Democratic party the power j to legislate prosperity at will and spontaneously time- No who knows anything about this government but is conscious of the fact that our financial troubles are not the result of any one act of any one party, but a combination of legislative acts at various sections of this great Union, which when taken as a whole, have fastened upon us depression from which if we are relieved in the next four years we may congratulate ourselves and thank the grandest party that ever existed in this or any other country. We look for Congress to begin at once legislation which shall finally result in freedom from burdens under which we are laboring, but we are conscious that this is no act of a day, but the work of sessions of the body even with the best talent enlisted in this direction Just give the Democratic party a fair chance and it will never be found wanting either in plans or operations to give the best Gov- that any people ever had.

WASHINGTON LETTER, our Regular July Secretary is the only member of tho Cabinet at present in Washington, and ho has been con lined to his house for several days this week by rheumatism, but next week President Cleve- land, and the other members of the Cabinet will be here, as they have been notified that the dent wishes to submit the first draft of his message to Congress to them and have a full and free discussion of its contents before it is finally completed. Attempts are numerous at try- to guess the nature of the President's coming message, but it is nonsense for anyone outside of the Cabinet and a few close personal friends of Mr. Cleveland and they won't talk about it to pretend to know. The mere fact that he will send another mes- sage to Congress at the opening of the regular session, even should the extra session remain until then, and the general belief is that it will, make it presumable that his message to the extra will be confined to what it was called to legislate And if this presumption be correct it will not indicate any change of opinion as to the for tariff and other reforms advocated by the Democratic par- during the Merely that circumstances have made it necessary to up finance first. Speaking of reform, is going right ahead in the mapped out for the reformation of the pen- roll, notwithstanding the howl that is raised by a few Congressmen whose constituents have been suspended. It has ready been discovered that, in ad- to the large number of pen- granted under the last ad- ministration without proper ex- of the applicant and his papers, there were thousands granted illegally, knowingly and Only those granted the act of 1890 have yet been examined and no others can be taken up for a long time. The suspensions up to date number nearly and if the same av- be kept up in the entire pensions granted under that law the total number of pensions will be something like 75,000- The examination is very thorough and systematic and only those cases showing clearly some irregularity or doubt of the right of the pensioner to receive the amount he has been getting are suspended, and few, if any, of those who get restored to the roll upon a re-examination will get as large a pension as they have been receiving. remarked a friend of the man who has proven his right by his on many occasions to be classed as a Dem- leader, announces through the newspapers his political intentions, and that fact is so well known that he very seldom takes the trouble to con- the newspaper stories which appear from time to time purporting to give detail what tie intends to do in case this or that happens in the Senate. It is safe to say, however, that his actions, like those of tho past will always be such as will meet the approval of a majority of good Democrats, and to any also that advance announcements of them which may appear may always be set down as merely One of the most encouraging signs to those who expect relief from the legislation of the extra session is the fact that, while most of the Democratic Sen- and Representatives have ideas of their own as to the needed, a majority of them express themselves as willing to hear the arguments of those who advocate oilier ideas, and to be open to conviction if the other argument be the best. Gen. Duncan S. Walker, the chairman of the on in- of the centennial of the the corner stone of the Capitol building, to be held September 18th next, this week sent invitations to the Gov- of all tho States and their staffs to participate. President Cleveland has promised to intro- duce the principal speaker at the celebration, who will be Mr. Henry, of Virginia, a descendant of Patrick Henry. SEN. VANCE WRITES AGAIN. His Position More Fully Defined. SOON, N. C, Black July J. P. Esq., Dear take no exception to your comment on my recent letter to the Mecklenburg County Alliance, beyond the fact that you authoritatively designate me as differing from my party, and misrepresent my words with the letter before you. The charge that a Democrat is at variance with his party, who refuses to fa- the unconditional repeal of the Sherman la, depends for its truth on what the party laid down in its platform at Chicago, if promises and pledges amount to anything. Let us see The Chi- platform demands inter the repeal of the Sherman law, as a cowardly makeshift, an to the free coinage of silver, etc. The obvious meaning of this is, if that law was out of the way we could have free coinage quote from memory, having no copy of the platform before That is one of the things I pro- pose to put in place of the Sher- man law ; and I propose to vote . -.-1 i repeal unless that be done. If my party is opposed to that, then its at Chi- were insincere and intended to deceive ; if it was sincere, then I am trying to stand on the plat- form. Again, it pledges the party to the use of both gold and silver, on equal terms, without discrimination either as to coinage, et cetera. Now, if we cease to coin one and refuse tender it in payment even of which by the contract are payable therein, we do against that metal in coinage and virtually cease to use it. In opposing the repeal of the Sher man law without some substitute preserving the use and coinage of silver, I am squarely with the party, and those who favor conditional repeal are not with it but are violating its solemn pledges. Again, tho platform pledges the party to such legislation as shall maintain the parity between gold and silver, so that a gold dollar and a silver dollar shall be inter- changeable and one as good as the other. Now, in objecting to the repeal of the only law on our statute books which binds us to the use of silver at all, without some substitute or condition tend- to make good the promises of the platform, no honest man can doubt that I am with and not against the party which made those promises. The only way to avoid this conclusion is to assume either that those promises were fraudulent and not binding, or that the party has since changed its position and now favors abandoning silver together, and of neither of these propositions is there any proof acceptable to me. The pledges of the platform are joint and not separable on the subject of silver money. You cannot select the repeal of the Sherman law for example, and propose to redeem it alone and denounce those who insist on the fulfillment of all, untrue to the party or differing from it. Nor will men of common sense who are loyal to the poses they profess surrenderer the advantages of their position The law now in existence can be kept thus by the non-concurrence of either the House, the Senate or the President to its repeal; whereas, that Sherman r once repealed, the measures they may which are t take its continue the use of both gold and silver, maintain their parity, remove the tax on State bank circulation the to be passed by affirmative legislation requiring the concurrence of all three branches of -the law-making de- No sensible man ac- with the situation can be- for a moment that these measures could be passed under such circumstances. The power of that combined capital which has forced the calling of the extra session and is threatening to de- again, and finally, the use of silver money, would certainly be able to influence at least one branch cf the legislative depart- which would be sufficient for their purposes. Be not de- ; evil communications good politics as well as good manners. The professed friend of silver money who will favor the unconditional repeal of tho Sherman law, trusting to the justice of capital or the chap- of accidents to get favorable legislation thereafter is either a traitor or a fool. I cannot conclude my letter without expressing both my prise and sincere regret at other statements in your editorial. Hints that my letter gives aid to Republican and Third party men I was prepared to see, as also the coupling of my name with that of Butler, by such a money toady as your correspondent, but I know of nothing in your past life or my own which led me to expect such things from you. In the closing paragraph you speak of my letter as containing public and deliberate avowal of sympathy with the . financial policy of the Now. sir, unless you assume what no intelligent man will grant, that the maintenance of silver as is exclusively the of that organization, a re- loading of my letter would at once have shown you that there was not one word of truth in the state- ; not one. Read the letter over and see if you are not com- to confess that you spoke too soon. I am squarely on the Demo- platform; I want all its pledges kept, those which favor the people as well as those ed by the bankers and brokers. If the refusal to serve them first without some guaranty that the people shall participate also, puts me out of the Democratic party, you will, my dear if you live a few months longer, see the greater part of that parity walk out of nothing behind but a smell of brimstone and Wall street- Yours respectfully, Z- B- Vance- TO THE WORLD'S FAIR VIA B.

Two who have been as doing scarcely no work during the year but occupied their time loafing, were put in jail last week for Stealing hogs.

Saturday night Coroner W. E. War, en received a telegram from Ayden that W. Harrington had killed Will with a pistol, and asking j him to go down and h an inquest. The Coroner went down and the inquest was held Sunday morning in Savage's b where the shooting occurred. From the evidence before the inquest the jury returned a that the killing was It developed that an I MM others were drinking freely at Savage's bar. when there was a sudden report of a pistol and fell dead with a bullet in his right breast. It seems that no one present saw the shooting and could not tell just how it occurred, but Harrington says that while they were drinking he went to show his pistol in taking it from his pocket it got hitched his and accidentally discharged. While it is one of those mysterious fairs that cannot be explained fully, it is safe to say that whiskey was at the bottom of it- Maybe some of those who worked so hard to undo the work of incorporating Church and get a bill through the last Legislature to allow whiskey sold In Ayden will be satisfied at such results as growing out of their labors.

TOBACCO DEPARTMENT O- L- Proprietor Eastern Warehouse. LOCAL NOTES AND JOTTINGS. TOBACCO Mr. W- H. Caraway sold a load of new primings at the Eastern last Wednesday. Mr. G. Venters brought us as fine a sample of Eastern Pride wrapper as we have ever seen. Reports from all parts of the country show that the tobacco has improved largely from what was expected. Mr. L- B. Burney says he has cured two barns of the nicest primings that he has ever seen. He will now begin upon stalk. Mr. R. Forbes tells us that it was thought the storm that passed through his section almost mined a part of the crop of R. C Cannon and numbers of others in that community but is improving rapidly now. If the samples of tobacco in the Reflector show case is a men of the Eastern crop, fancy tip top prices may be expected later when they are offered on the sales floor. We can whoop em up right on such tobacco. Our local last week referring to the fact that thermometers were being sold at figures live times as high as in January seems to have created some confusion. The facts are thermometers art-selling now at the same price that they have been selling all the while, but the mercury in the runs five times as high as it did in January- farmers were to employ this on most of our lands that we would make nothing but black tobacco, but a plenty of that. Our lands mostly are alluvial and fertile and it would not do to put this much manure in the drill it might profitable to plow in flush and in this way it would not be long before we would have some very rich land and land that we could make fine tobacco on every year. The idea that poor land is the kind to make fine tobacco on is rapidly disappearing as our farmers learn more about it. The Tobacco Journal of July 15th pays the following kind and tribute to the Greenville Greenville is located in the of the seven counties the new North Carolina golden tobacco belt, and es to be in that section what Dan ville is to the bright belt of the two States, the capital of the belt.

Prim- are necessarily bulked close and unless they are carefully at- tended to and often they will surely damage. thing should be closely watched, take oat all the swell stems that can be found and hang up some where and grade and sell as soon as possible. They will damage other tobacco. Owing to the present depressed condition of finance all over the country and the uneasiness and lack of confidence attending such a time, the and leaf dealers of the Greenville market deem it their duty to say to their patrons that it is to their interest to hold their tobacco a short while before rushing it on the market to sold at one half its value. In a few days Con- is expected to assemble in an extraordinary session to de- vise means by which the business interest of the country can again resume work on a sound and solid basis. We take occasion to say that should anyone wish to sell their tobacco the Greenville market is prepared to pay market prices for tobacco as compared with any market this State or Virginia the above is because we believe it to be for the best interest cf the farmer. Mr. W S- Rawls, of Tyson Rawls, us to-day that they were in as good a condition to do business as at any time in the past. We state this as an as- to those who want to sell their tobacco that they can get as much money for it here in Green- ville as anywhere else in any State and after August 1st we shall be at our post of duty ready to look after the every interest of our customers.

The Tom- river of Alabama is usually spelled with a in the last instead of in spite of the fact that the names of half a dozen neighboring streams end in Several other significant endings have suffered corruption in the case of river and creek names, north and south. The Indians usually gave a name to any large body of near which they dwelt, and it has been found in the case of primitive river names in the old world that a syllable mean- water occurs once at least, and in many instances several times in the same name. From this gists to trace success- conquests, as each conquering tribe added its own name for water or river to the syllables already forming the names of streams in the conquered district.
