Sanford Express. Rev. a colored preacher of Raleigh, announces his intention to organizing an exodus of tho in the counties of Cumberland, Harnett, Moore and Richmond to go to the Northern States. The colored preachers in all these counties are to be made agents and to rally their race for the Mecca of the It is a sensible move in theory bat in practice it is the worst place in the country for the The of the into the Northern States appears to us the best solution the race question, bat they will go among no people, who have made so great of friendship in their behalf and who hare shown more prejudice against them, when they become elbowed together. We hope the corn field of the South will go in large numbers and make a fair and practical teat of the friendship and undying lore of such fellows as Hoar, Lodge, Chandler and for them. This is the first move in the State to colonize the in the North, and we trust that it may be successful. Let go by the thousands and hundreds of thousands. That is where they belong according to the profession of Hoar. He wants to them on bis native codfish. who is a retail merchant, be thought himself of an order for goods that he had given to a Boston drummer. The more he thought the worse con- founded became his ideas of Lodge, force bill, Boston, Massachusetts, Republican South-haters, Yankee goods, and so on; and to relieve his mind of its burden he wrote a polite note to the Boston house and his order, saying as his reason for doing so, that he could not get the consent of his mind to buy goods from a Stan that gives its support to such a man as Lodge. The sequel was. not just what might have been expected. The ; Boston firm did not become angry and give vent to their thoughts in explosive language. They took a philosophical view of the situation, and assuming that the High Point man was gifted with an ordinary amount of common sense, they wrote him a letter acknowledging the re- of his countermand and sign- their They then proceeded to write in the following we want to say some- thing about this matter, because it is not right that all the people of this section should be judged by the ac- one man, even though he is supposed to represent us. Mr. Lodge was elected as a liberal man in every way, a scholar and a man, liberal on the tariff and on all points. But he no sooner got among those Washington politicians than he changed completely. Politics, the way they are run, business have at the present time no and if there was no Con business interests would gain largely. The whole object of Con- is to get re-elected, get offices for their friends and get the next President, and if they think there is a chance to get another President out of the old they nail it to the mast and sail under that flag and wave it for all it is worth. Now, if you saw more of the Northern people would find that this sort of thing is deprecated no less at the North than at the South. The people here in Boston who invited Mr. Grady here and entertained him so royally and appreciated him and the way he talked to us so highly, do not believe in the Lodge bill; they believe that all the people of this country are brothers, that we should treat one another as such and do all we can for the glory and prestige of our country. South with her millions of I ignorant colored people thrown into her hands as equals in a political sense, with rights which we do not accord here in Massachusetts no j man can vote here who cannot read . and has a problem to solve i that would tax the power of any but Northern men of sense do not think that the solution of the difficulty lies in a good many of the acts of Congress. business men of this country want all this sectional strife stopped and want to be let alone by the among whom there are few statesmen. But we cannot, with all the the evils of the situation, commend boycotting spirit manifested, because the interchange of commodities be- tween the different sections is what makes the business of the country and whatever the politicians may say or do, we want goods from the South and West and they want the products of all other sections. men have never been found wanting when any disaster in the South or any section of the country has called for aid, and you will find as warm-hearted, generous men here as there are in the world. Ask any Southern man that ever came here as representative of the Sooth, either as an individual or with any civil or military, whether he received a hearty welcome Or he was ever better entertained than here. You do not know the better part of oar State if you judge it by the utterances of Lodge or Tho concluding paragraph of the letter was an invitation to smoke some cigars la pi which they seat for the purpose, with the hope that though the pres- generation may not outlive the bitterness of th war, the next one will. Well, what could a man do under such circumstances but renew the order The High man did better, he doubled it. And so it would be well if all Southern people would get rid of the notion that the population of the Northern States consists of South-haters, fire eaters and They must learn to draw the line between the politicians, South as well as North, who have their own selfish ends to gain by inflaming passions and re- kindling the fires of sectional strife, and the great masses of the people, who have everything to gain and nothing to by cultivating the Stray Bits of Fun.

J. Hall, The Voice. So much has been said and writ- ten of late upon this subject that one fears adding to the talk, I am con- much of it is only talk, made not to relieve the from any oppression, but to gain votes. Living as I have been doing for the past two years with both races about and having watched matters closely, I frankly say that I could hardly tell there is any race question but for the newspapers and magazines. I came South, not with any special prejudice against any party or race, as I was no politician, but with a keen sense of right and ready to see and judge for myself. I have had the work for me, have been in their schools, and seen much of them. Have watched the voting on election days, and talked freely with them, and my conclusions, the result of observation, actual experience, and free conversation with both races in the South That there is no race bitterness or hatred on the part of the white people towards the colored people in j the South. That the white people of the South cling more tenaciously to the than do any other people upon the face of the earth. That whatever wrongs, if there be any, are done the of the South, they can and will lie more righteously settled by the Christian people of the South than by the at Washington. That the passage of Senator bill or one of a similar would be one of the best things that could happen for the South. The fact is there are too many colored people in the South, even for their good. Their families are large from eight to twenty children. in the South is I recent- attended the commencement at Shaw University First the Medical College; many cf the host white families of the city were present. The Governor of the State and the Mayor of the city were on the platform. The next I attended was the Literary and Theological Schools. The examination in all of these studies was comprehensive and thorough. The marking stood very high. The orations and essays had evidently been prepared with great care, and were delivered very grace- fully. In fact, the whole of the would have been very creditable to any college. North or South. Let us consider that years ago the ancestors of these graduates were in even allowed to read a book. To-day the children of former slaves are pressing forward and in of the most ab- and delicate of studies. Well did a certain remark that the educational advantages now offered the colored people the South arc far superior to those he had when a boy. And what is being done at Shaw University for the colored race is being done in many other such in the South. The money the North has made it possible, and noble men and women South carry- forward the good work. Here is where the true solution of whatever there may be to the race question is to be the South itself, and on the lines of education and religion rather than on the lines of politics and party expediency. And he who s to keep the in the South solid, against the white people the South, and that for political ends, is an enemy to both races, and should be so regarded both North and South. Raleigh, X. C.

The island of Jersey, about one twentieth the size of county, has an agricultural and they have two inhabitants to the acre. The peasants of the I island are thrifty and well-to do. Their potato crop is worth two rail lion dollars, or for every acre in , potatoes. They keep more than one COW to the acre and export large quantities of dairy products. They ; sell annually about 1,500 milch which give four to five gallons of daily. Small farms, properly cultivated, are capable of enormous yields. On the island of Jersey the agricultural products amount of per acre. The Dark and Bloody Ground. A most remarkable condition in Perry county, Kentucky. In the first place there is not a church, a school house or a court house in the county, has been no court there for the last two years. Judge Lilly is endeavoring to hold a court in a big tent under guard of several of State troops. In his charge to the grand jury the judge announced that the county was over years old and but one man had been convicted of murder in all that time and he remained only a short time in the penitentiary. Five hundred murders had been commit- in the county and the killing was still going on. Some time ago a man was killed and a preacher from an adjoining county went across the line and offered prayer at his grave. For this his life was threatened by the faction that did the killing.

Most of the Southern Stales could well afford have an annual exodus of from to colored persons for the next ten years. And even should the thing so much dreaded by many a Southern farmer be realized and col- help ever become scarce, it would not be an evil. If needed, there would be immigrants arriving by the thousands from the Old World, and many from New bringing money and with them. Considering all things, perhaps it can hardly be wondered at, yet it is nevertheless a -sad fact that very many of the colored race are truthful, dishonest, without energy and given to drink. On the liquor question they frequently vote nearly solidly against Prohibition or even restriction. Thank God there are noble exceptions, brave men who are leading their people out from the terrible evil of drink. am ed that the real friend of the will give attention to his moral than to his political need.

Why send to Eng- land, Scotland, Ireland, Germany and Italy for laborers if there are tens of thousands in the South long- to get away from their Why not come and take these men away They surely would leave if treated badly They are happy and contented in their South- homes. And many Northern do not want them to leave the South because they desire to keep them solid, and have them vote a party ticket to increase Congress- men and Senators for the party. Evidently race question is not raised with a sense of justice for the but for party purposes and political expediency. . The progress of many might make him feel slighted. WAS POSTED ON MIRACLES.

THE RAILROAD SEA New York, Aug, 1890. The trouble between the N. Y.

We arc much more concerned here than those at other points be, because so many thousand of depend directly or indirectly on commerce and No one who has seen the enormous amount of traffic in our streets, the endless processions of trucks, the mountains of piled on the sidewalks, can fail to understand that a freight blockade from here to and the West on the main railroad means a great deal even to those of us who arc neither on strike nor struck against. At this writing no further hostilities have actually taken place, and the strike is still confined to the Knights of Labor employed on the X. V. Central. War has been de- however, on the whole Van- system, and unless the com- backs down very speedily the will fall and the light will be on in earnest.

John the inventor the first Monitor, and who in this city months ago, was on Saturday ceremoniously taken aboard the S. Cruiser Baltimore, bound for Sweden. The preparations for the transfer have been in progress for a long time, and the Government, through the Navy Department, have given the utmost honor to the re- mains of the dead inventor. Tracy was present and personally lead the during the ceremonies. All the available vessels of the Navy in the North Atlantic took part, and as each passed the funeral ship the Swedish Hag was hoisted to the fore each fired a national salute of guns. The remains were conveyed to the Baltimore by a tug and the coffin was hoisted over the rails and placed upon a catafalque with the old flag of the Monitor and the colors Sweden.

Pitt County Democracy MEET IN CONVENTION AND DO A Large, and Enthusiastic As- Ticket Nomi- -he County Plat- Vance Endorsed. The Democracy of Pitt county assembled in the Court House in this town, on Thursday of last week, for the purpose of making nominations for the Legislature and various county offices. The very large crowd gathered on the occasion indicated that more than usual interest was taken in the nominations this year. Besides the full attendance of delegates, there were hundreds of sterling Democrats from every section of the county whose deep interest in the party and the welfare of our county had brought them to town. When the Court House bell rang at o'clock that spacious building was immediately filled with persons anxious to see the day's work begin. CALL TO Precisely at o'clock Ales L. Blow, Chairman of the county ex- committee, let fall his gavel and at once there was a hush over the immense audience. Election- ceased and all eyes turned to the speaker's stand. In a few well chosen words he called the body to order, stated that the meeting had been called in accord- with the Democratic plan of organization, and after urging that their deliberations be harmonious and to the best interests of the party he called upon R. Jr. Secretary of the committee, to read the call for the convention and then proceeded to call the roll of delegates. Greenville township was reached W. H. Harrington arose and made com- plaint as to the selection of the delegate.-, from one precinct of this township. The Chairman stated that the convention was not yet offered the following report which was .-adopted and entitled all sitting delegates to their W; on t c tins i lei ed t have to the actions of the Township held at this place nu Saturday last to We accept the delegates of each of the two factious as they were accepted try the aforesaid Commit tee. Committee on resolutions asked permission to make their report at a later stage of the convention. NOMINATIONS IN The chair then announced that he would hear nominations for the different offers in the following Senator, Legislators, Clerk, Sheriff, Register of Deeds, Treasurer, Corner, Surveyor. J. J. Nobles moved that speeches be limited to minutes. Harry Skinner objected saying he believed in freedom of speech. He made a record in this matter before the recent State Convention at Raleigh, and again entered his protest against closing the mouth of any man who wished to lay the claims of a friend before the convention. Motion lost by a vote of to The chair announced the con- ready to hear nominations. FOR SENATOR. There was a lull and silence a few moments, which seemed Ion than it really was because all were looking around in eager ex- for the first man to rise, some looking as though they ex to see them pop up all over the room. J. Bryan Grimes was the first to arise and address the chair. He made the prettiest nominating speech of the day. He spoke of the importance of the times around us, touching upon certain that is now needed, mention- specially a railroad and agricultural relief, said we needed brave men, who were fearless and bold, to go to our legislative halls and meet the re- of the hour. He nominated J. J. Laughinghouse, at the mention of whose name there was applause throughout the hall. Henry Harding arose and said he wished to nominate a man who had a record before the people, a man who time and again had served them faithfully and whose honesty integrity was known to every one. He presented the name of R. whose name brought forth another round of applause. At this stage Mr. Laughing- house arose and said that while he very much appreciated the kind words said by the gentleman placing him in nomination and the compliment paid him, he had no political aspirations whatever and his home interests were such that he could not possibly accept the nomination if it was tendered him. J. Bryan Grimes again arose and said by request he placed the name of R. R. Gotten in A was taken resulting as Laughinghouse Cotten It requiring for a choice, the chair declared R. Williams the nominee of the convention. Lit is due to Mr. Cotten to state here that he was not a candidate and had no idea his name would be placed before the convention, so the vote was by no means a test of his strength. It seems that the intention of some of Mr. supporters was townships called for the second ballot the result Cherry King Cox whereupon J. D. Cox was declared the other nominee.

He was years old and some of his intimate friends thought his mind was weakening. Monday night he was and his wife asked him to lake something to make him sleep. A time or so during the night she was up giving him the medicine. About o'clock she missed him from his room but all his clothing were near the bed just as when he retired. She became uneasy and began searching for him and day some of the neighbors were called up to help in the search. No trace of the missing man could be. found and it was feared that he had in some way taken his life. During the morning a watchman near the river said that about o'clock he had heard a splash in the water that sounded like a plank falling from the bridge. Search continued all Tues- day and on Wednesday cannon were fired on the river bank, hoping to the body rise if it should be in the river. The captains of the steam- were notified by telegram and let- to keep a lookout along the river for the body. No trace the body- was found until Friday. On the morning of that day as the was coming on her trip up the river, the Mate, Mr. George Doughty, who at the time was acting as Cap of the steamer, saw a body ed in a raft near Boyd's Ferry, about miles this side of Washington. He took the body on board and it was found to he the of Mr. Bond. The only clothing on the body was a night shirt, and that was drawn above the head and had a handkerchief tied around it which formed a stock over the head.

Aug. 212th, Senator Quay's resolution setting aside the Force bill and naming a date to begin voting upon the tariff bill has brought about a condition of affairs among the in the Senate not unlike that which existed when the late Conk- ling resigned their seats in the Senate. There is a fight in the ranks which was first shown when Senator Frye, to Senator and the other republicans who early in the sum- mer refused to sanction a change rules of the Senate to cut off debate, do not place the responsibility for the defeat of the Election bill on Senators who are proposing that, the bill shall be postponed. I place it on those Sen- who declared in a republican conference held earlier in the session that they would not support a rule a previous question. Cowardice never yet won a battle never yet retained a Senator replied in the same tone, Mr. Frye to a highway robber. Senator Hoar delivered a long speech, principally devoted to ex- plaining the force bill and zing for bringing it forward, lie gave Senator Quay several sharp raps in I he course of his but Mr. Quay paid not the slightest attention to him. Mr. Hoar offered a substitute for Quay resolution which includes the original gag rule that was endorsed the can caucus some weeks ago, in addition that the Force bill shall be voted upon September So much for the condition on the republican side. Senator Gorman has the demo- well in hand, and what they doing or how they will vote upon the Quay resolution, should it ever reach a vote, is only to themselves. They have been too well aware of the political which I be discussion of the tariff bill has them to fall into a trap set by Mr. Quay and promise to wind that debate the when of the bill has not yet been touched. That would be too treat a price to pay- fur nothing, that is all that Mr. Quay Las to offer. The adoption of bis it-solution would kill the Force bill the present session officially; bat it has been unofficially dead for all time ever since the republican caucus refused to adopt the gag law necessary for its passage. The most radical members of the republican party In the House have entered into an agreement to vent the of the Senate amendments to the tariff bill until the Senate passes the election bill. It not be very surprising if the Senate should conclude to don the tariff bill entirely as a party measure and let it go over until next winter. The investigation by a special House committee of Mr. Cooper's charges against the Commissioner of Pensions was began to-day, and Mr. Cooper propose to that all the damaging are brought oat so that the of white wash which the majority of the commit tee has already prepared to apply shall not prevent the public from seeing matte's they actually are.
