of a democratic state adminis tration upon the pure and impartial admin istration of justice and the honest enforce ment of the laws upon the efficiency of our common school system and great advance made in education and the general im provement and enterprise manifested in ev ery part of the state and we pledge our selves to exert all efforts to advance the material interests of all sections ot the state in the future as we have done in the past and we challenge a comparison between a democratic administration of our state af fairs and the crimes outrages and scandals that accompanied republican misrule af firming our adherence to democratic prin ciples as defined in the platform adopted by the national democratic convention held at cincinnati in 1880 : resolved that we regard a free and fair expression of the public will at the ballot box as the only sure means of preserving our free american institutions and we de nounce the republican party and the inter ference of its federal officials for their gross frauds upon the elective franchise whereby whole districts states and the union have been deprived ot their just political lights and we believe the corrupt and corrupting use of federal patronage and of public money drawn by taxation from the people in influencing and controlling elections to be dangerous to the liberties of the state and the union resolved that we are in favor of the en tire abolition of the internal revenue sys tem with its attendant corruptions and that we denounce the present tariff laws as grossly unequal unjust and vicious we favor such a revision of the tariff as will produce a revenue sufficient for tie econom ical support of the government with such incidental protection as will give to domes tic manufactures a fair competition with those of foreign production that there should be an immediate repeal of all laws imposing a direct tax for the support ot the government of the united states but if it should prove impracticable to abolish the internal revenue system with all its at tending demoralization fraud and corrup tion then we urge upon our senators and k presenta.tives in congress the importance of so amending the law that the revenue officers whonow receive in salaries in north carolina alone more than f.luo.ooo shall be elected by the people of the localities to which they are assigned resolved that the course of the demo cratic party since its accession to power in north carolina in furtherance of popular education is a sufficient guaranty that we earnestly favor the education of all classes of our people and that we will advocate any legislation lookingto an increase of the fund tor that purpose that will not materially increase the present burdens of our people iiesolced that the question of prohibi tion is not now and never has been a par ty question in north carolina and never been endorsed by the democratic party and the people of the state at the general election in the year 1881 having by an overwhelming majority voted against pro hibition and the supreme court having decided that the prohibition act is not and never has been a law we regard the matter as finally settled and any attempt to re new the agitation is merely a weak effort of designing persons to divert the minds of the people from the dangerous priuciphs and corrupt practices of the republican party resolved that while we are not wedded to any particular form of county govern ment we recognize the fact that a large part of the taxes of the state are paid foi the common benefit by the white people of our eastern counties and that we consider it the bounden duty of the white men of the state to protect these people from the oppressive domination of ignorant blacks and pledge ourselves to such legislature as will secure this end and whereas it is seriously suggested that vigorous effort will soon be made to compel the state by judicial proceedings to pay the fraudulent and unlawful special tax bonds amounting to 22,000,000 issued under legislation passed by the republican legislature 1sg8 and 18g1 therefore resolved further that the democratic party will resist such recovery and the payment of such bonds by every lawful means the above resolutions were read utrintim and on motion were adopted as a whole as the platform of the democratic party of north carolina on motion of mr furman the following resolution was adopted : resolved that the present faithful and efficient state executive committee of the democratic party with col oct coke as chairman be and is hereby continued as the executive committee of the party thanking them for the untiring zeal and triumphant results of their past services hon a s merrimon being called on de livered an address of marked ability the synopsis of which we regret w c cannot print in this issue on his conclusion mr paul b means moved that the thanks of the convention bp tendered to judge merrimon by a rising vote for his able masterly eloquent and instructive address which motion being carried all the members of the convention rose to their feet with a shout of applause a compliment as handsome as it was deserv ed j vv reid ofrockingham being called on made some handsome and eloquent re marks remarks were also made by hon jos j davis capt swift galloway of greene apt c m cooke of franklin andrew

of the lit rev thos atkinson late bishop of north carolina will appear in october 2nd issue of the new south what the leading radical paper says about liberals the greensboro north state says friends let us look back through the past three or four months and see what we have done politically last winter a new movement was proposed at washing ton which should sweep north carolina and bury bourbouism many republi cans in north carolina could see nothing in it but disaster and the ultimate suc cess of the democrats to the extent of giving them permanent control the old fogies however were cried down by the revenue ring and the state was organized in the interest of the great tidal wave the revenue men hurriedly packed what was called a liberal convention and one week thereafter packed the republican state convention and endorsed the'whis ky association nominations the boy was born and christened anti-prohibi tion liberal party forthwith it was announced that president arthur and hi cabinet would forever curse every repub lican who couldn't see the new ticket through revenue eye-glasses and every officer not branded plainly as liberal would be shown the back door as soon as reported by the magnates the office holders soon came into line and hurrahed for the new move uot caring what it was and thinking that whether it won or not meant safety to the members of the bread aiul butter brigade we all joined in the general shout ex pecting everybody to eonie into the coal ition and by the 7th of november it was supposed there would be but one party in the state the news outside the state all looked that way colonel chas r jones according to mysterious prediction came out against ihe bourbons and was ushered with a great flourish of trumpets into the liberal fold assessments were increased and pressed to keep up the glorious work gen leach came b y kayle came and became a guager under everett here and there throughout the state coutd be heard of a few in search of omice who found a place of rest for their weary bones and troubled consciences in the liberal camp one bright sunday morning col jones took himself back to his old nest and swore he had discovered a movement to ignore the democratic paity and help the republicans that was tot much for i 1 1 i 111 and he went back home nearly all i the others have gone the same way in ! ten counties in this region we defy any | body to name ioo democrats who will ' support the liberal ticket tiie worst | of it is that while all this demonstration 1 was being made the republicans got de | moralized and disgusted with the whole thing what we fear most is that thou i sands and thousands of republicans will stay home and thus deprive col dockery mr 0 ut in ie and some other derserving | men of votes which they will need we have done everything in our power to show republicans the advantage of the defeat ol bourbonism even if we have to support a few objectionable democrats but we find it will not do prominent members of the party are thoroughly dis gusted with the movement which means party destruction for six months the north state has said the liberal movement meant no good for republicanism we say so now there is no principle in it ; no honesty one class of republicans arc trying to fool their friends by saying help us along in this t..ese fellows are all with us — anything to beat the bour bons then then the liberal democrats says to their friends don't believe that we want to help the republicans those of them who are with us are just as anx ious to break up that party as we are here is the truth about the whole matter and republicans of north carolina don't you forget it win m cocke jr of asheville is the the chairman of the anti-prohibition state executive committee whose ticket the revenue ring forced the republican state convention to endorse he is a candi signs of the coalition between the so-call ed liberal-democrats and the revenue ring it amounts to nothing more than a democratic movement to bury forever the republican party in north carolina we and they that is the combination and a new party is the great object for which jay hubbell's committee is asked to furnish money collected from zealous republican department clerks and fed eral officers we thought so or as gibbs the moonshiner said we lowed so last words of

published by the castle garden authorities showing the i destinations of immigrants who have ar ! rived during the past six months it ap pears that texas enjoys a genuine immi ■gration boom south carolina is also receiving a larger share of the foreign tide than usual the large number — 1 nearly 3,000 credited to california is something new as the golden state has ! never recovered its hold upon foreign im ! migration since the collapse of mining i speculation an immigration organiza | tion has recently started into existence and is working vigorously to induce i young fanners to settle in california the president of that society wrote to j secretary jackson a few days ago saying ] that mining instead of being a help was i a real detriment to california nnd that if ! people who emigrated there could only be made to understand that agriculture in the end paid better than mining it could be made a great state colorado might learn something from the experi ence of california if the centennial state would acquire a steady and perma nent population it behooves her to give early and particular attention to adver tising her agricultural advantages date for congress against clcu vance in the 8th district he say that owing to my private business and the additional duties imposed upon me as chairman of the executive committee of the liberal party of the state it will be impossible for me to canvass the district and therefore he has published an address to the voters of his district here is what he nays about the late republican par ty :" attempts are being made fellow citi zens to persuade you that my success and that of those with whom 1 am acting is in some way to inure to the benefit of the late republican party of the state there is not the least grounds for such an assertion when the liberal demo crats proposed to abandon their old party organization for the sake of public good the republicans acting through their conventions met them wholly on their ground it is distinctly understood that we and they have united to form a new party or political organization in addic tion to the principles announced by the independent liberal convention we pro pose to so act under the constitution and laws as may seem best calculated to ad wince the interest of the people of our state and country at large any one who determines to be no longer controll ed by the machinery ot the old parties is fairly entitled to be recognized as a mem ber of our organization just think this is the leader of the coalition which all republicans are asked and ordered to support the late republican party !" the man who says this is the leader of the movement which no wonder the egyptians are a failure in war in all the manners and customs of the race it is impossible to tind the re motest suggestion of a warlike propensi ty or impulse or of a single soldierly quality the egyptian salutation is peace be with you peace and repose make up their idea of perfect

of poor boys in north car olina at the jjinghum school — » i ■■bloody riot at lancaster charleston sept 28 — a special i to the news and courier from lan caster says : a political meeting was held here yesterday and was address j ed by colonel cash about the close of the meeting a difficulty arose at the stand between a white democrat j and a colored man which resulted in i the former being wounded in the head by a blow with a stick or stone at this time two or three pistol shots were fired near the stand but no one was hurt soon after this a large procession of colored men on horse back came upon the streets one of the number having a large pistol buckled around his body the ne gro pointed the pistol at a white man and said there's the damned rascal that did the shooting the white man gave him the lie and the colored man fired immediately sev eral shots were tired by the white man and the colored man fell dead a number of shots were then fired by white and colored men and three oth er colored men were killed and many wounded the authorities soon suc ceeded in restoring quiet which now prevails special to daily journal lancaster s c sept 28 the riot here yesterday was begun by a right between a negro and a white man during a speech by mr d j carter,editor of the lancaster ledger in reply to e b c cash greenback candidate for congress in this district the row becoming general some in furiated negroes attacked mr cuter and he escaped with much difficulty through his own and the exertions of messrs nv c moore donovan and f a clinton the latter a colored man at one time a state senator a few hots were fired at this time but nobody was seriously hurt but during the afternoon a body of mounted ne groes several of them drunk and in furiated appeared upon the streets and as they passed a hotel the town where mr donovan was standing one o the negroes who was armed with a large pistol straped around his waist drew it and pointed it at mr donovan said there's the damn ras cal that interfered at the sneaking donovan replied that the uegro lied whereupon the latter fired at d.uio v.-in without serious effect however several shots were then fired _ by white men and the negro who fired at donovan fell dead firing con tinued on l*>th sides fur some minutes and three negroes were killed out right and three more seriously two of them probably fatally wounded several whites received pistol wounds but none of them serious six or seven horses ridden by the colored people were shot down the shoot in'r was at last didfcontiued aiul order was restored in the authorities with great difficulty many drunken ne groes were on the streets last night and a renewal of the difficulty was much feared but everything is quiet now and it is hoped that no further trou ble will occur north carolina the tariff commission in wilmington wilmington n c sept 27 the tariff commission arrived here this morning and held a session in the custom house the subjects brought to its attention were rice peanuts chalk sud silk cocoons the rice interest was advocated by i l russell donald macrae and l j fremont peanut and chalk interests by geo z french and the silk co coons interest was incidently men tioned by mr fremont the advo cates of the rice interest expressed themselves as satisfied with the pies ; ent duties but declared that any re duction of them would be fatal to that interest in regard to peanuts french gave the average annual pro duction of the wilmington section as 120,000 bushels up 1861 it was equal to seven-eighths of the entire crop of the united states but under the duty imposed in 1864 the indus i try had increased until now tenncs : see produces from 30,000 to 60,000 bushels and virginia from 700,000 to a million bushels the price was affected by the importation of african peanuts the discontinuance of duty would put an end to the peanut in dustries of north carolina and would impoverish many small farmers as to chalk large deposits of it were found in the state but its freight to new york and philadelphia where chalk was made into whiting would be higher than the cost of chalk which is carried there as ballast as to silk cocoons the soil aud climate of the state were favorable to the cul tivation of mulberry trees and the raising of silk worms both the-e interests might be developed by the imposition of a duly on silk and on silk cocoons mr boteler asked mr fremont whether any complaints came up from the fanning community about the tariff mr fremont replied in the negative all that was heard about it was from congress and stump speeches me thought however that the popular side of the question was a tariff for revenue witli incidental protection but as the rice people wanted the present duty on rice main tained they could not ask to have the duties taken off other political articles the commissioners left for richmond in the afternoon 8!3oo,ooo,oo lost in georgia gold mines that can hereafter be sated

the incoming of a democratic state adminis tration upon the pure and impartial admin istration of justice and the honest enforce ment of the laws upon the efficiency of our common school system and great advance made in education and the general im provement and enterprise manifested in ev ery part of the state and we pledge our selves to exert all efforts to advance the material interests of all sections ot the state in the future as we have done in the past and we challenge a comparison between a democratic administration of our state af fairs and the crimes outrages and scandals that accompanied republican misrule af firming our adherence to democratic prin ciples as defined in the platform adopted by the national democratic convention held at cincinnati in 1880 : resolved that we regard a free and fair expression of the public will at the ballot box as the only sure means of preserving our free american institutions and we de nounce the republican party and the inter ference of its federal officials for their gross frauds upon the elective franchise whereby whole districts states and the union have been deprived ot their just political lights and we believe the corrupt and corrupting use of federal patronage and of public money drawn by taxation from the people in influencing and controlling elections to be dangerous to the liberties of the state and the union resolved that we are in favor of the en tire abolition of the internal revenue sys tem with its attendant corruptions and that we denounce the present tariff laws as grossly unequal unjust and vicious we favor such a revision of the tariff as will produce a revenue sufficient for tie econom ical support of the government with such incidental protection as will give to domes tic manufactures a fair competition with those of foreign production that there should be an immediate repeal of all laws imposing a direct tax for the support ot the government of the united states but if it should prove impracticable to abolish the internal revenue system with all its at tending demoralization fraud and corrup tion then we urge upon our senators and k presenta.tives in congress the importance of so amending the law that the revenue officers whonow receive in salaries in north carolina alone more than f.luo.ooo shall be elected by the people of the localities to which they are assigned resolved that the course of the demo cratic party since its accession to power in north carolina in furtherance of popular education is a sufficient guaranty that we earnestly favor the education of all classes of our people and that we will advocate any legislation lookingto an increase of the fund tor that purpose that will not materially increase the present burdens of our people iiesolced that the question of prohibi tion is not now and never has been a par ty question in north carolina and never been endorsed by the democratic party and the people of the state at the general election in the year 1881 having by an overwhelming majority voted against pro hibition and the supreme court having decided that the prohibition act is not and never has been a law we regard the matter as finally settled and any attempt to re new the agitation is merely a weak effort of designing persons to divert the minds of the people from the dangerous priuciphs and corrupt practices of the republican party resolved that while we are not wedded to any particular form of county govern ment we recognize the fact that a large part of the taxes of the state are paid foi the common benefit by the white people of our eastern counties and that we consider it the bounden duty of the white men of the state to protect these people from the oppressive domination of ignorant blacks and pledge ourselves to such legislature as will secure this end and whereas it is seriously suggested that vigorous effort will soon be made to compel the state by judicial proceedings to pay the fraudulent and unlawful special tax bonds amounting to 22,000,000 issued under legislation passed by the republican legislature 1sg8 and 18g1 therefore resolved further that the democratic party will resist such recovery and the payment of such bonds by every lawful means the above resolutions were read utrintim and on motion were adopted as a whole as the platform of the democratic party of north carolina on motion of mr furman the following resolution was adopted : resolved that the present faithful and efficient state executive committee of the democratic party with col oct coke as chairman be and is hereby continued as the executive committee of the party thanking them for the untiring zeal and triumphant results of their past services hon a s merrimon being called on de livered an address of marked ability the synopsis of which we regret w c cannot print in this issue on his conclusion mr paul b means moved that the thanks of the convention bp tendered to judge merrimon by a rising vote for his able masterly eloquent and instructive address which motion being carried all the members of the convention rose to their feet with a shout of applause a compliment as handsome as it was

of the lit rev thos atkinson late bishop of north carolina will appear in october 2nd issue of the new south what the leading radical paper says about liberals the greensboro north state says friends let us look back through the past three or four months and see what we have done politically last winter a new movement was proposed at washing ton which should sweep north carolina and bury bourbouism many republi cans in north carolina could see nothing in it but disaster and the ultimate suc cess of the democrats to the extent of giving them permanent control the old fogies however were cried down by the revenue ring and the state was organized in the interest of the great tidal wave the revenue men hurriedly packed what was called a liberal convention and one week thereafter packed the republican state convention and endorsed the'whis ky association nominations the boy was born and christened anti-prohibi tion liberal party forthwith it was announced that president arthur and hi cabinet would forever curse every repub lican who couldn't see the new ticket through revenue eye-glasses and every officer not branded plainly as liberal would be shown the back door as soon as reported by the magnates the office holders soon came into line and hurrahed for the new move uot caring what it was and thinking that whether it won or not meant safety to the members of the bread aiul butter brigade we all joined in the general shout ex pecting everybody to eonie into the coal ition and by the 7th of november it was supposed there would be but one party in the state the news outside the state all looked that way colonel chas r jones according to mysterious prediction came out against ihe bourbons and was ushered with a great flourish of trumpets into the liberal fold assessments were increased and pressed to keep up the glorious work gen leach came b y kayle came and became a guager under everett here and there throughout the state coutd be heard of a few in search of omice who found a place of rest for their weary bones and troubled consciences in the liberal camp one bright sunday morning col jones took himself back to his old nest and swore he had discovered a movement to ignore the democratic paity and help the republicans that was tot much for i 1 1 i 111 and he went back home nearly all i the others have gone the same way in ! ten counties in this region we defy any | body to name ioo democrats who will ' support the liberal ticket tiie worst | of it is that while all this demonstration 1 was being made the republicans got de | moralized and disgusted with the whole thing what we fear most is that thou i sands and thousands of republicans will stay home and thus deprive col dockery mr 0 ut in ie and some other derserving | men of votes which they will need we have done everything in our power to show republicans the advantage of the defeat ol bourbonism even if we have to support a few objectionable democrats but we find it will not do prominent members of the party are thoroughly dis gusted with the movement which means party destruction for six months the north state has said the liberal movement meant no good for republicanism we say so now there is no principle in it ; no honesty one class of republicans arc trying to fool their friends by saying help us along in this t..ese fellows are all with us — anything to beat the bour bons then then the liberal democrats says to their friends don't believe that we want to help the republicans those of them who are with us are just as anx ious to break up that party as we are here is the truth about the whole matter and republicans of north carolina don't you forget it win m cocke jr of asheville is the the chairman of the anti-prohibition state executive committee whose ticket the revenue ring forced the republican state convention to endorse he is a candi signs of the coalition between the so-call ed liberal-democrats and the revenue ring it amounts to nothing more than a democratic movement to bury forever the republican party in north carolina we and they that is the combination and a new party is the great object for which jay

emigrated there could only be made to understand that agriculture in the end paid better than mining it could be made a great state colorado might learn something from the experi ence of california if

impossible for me to canvass the district and therefore he has published an address to the voters of his district here is what he nays about the late republican par ty :" attempts are being made fellow citi zens to persuade you that my success and that of those with whom 1 am acting is in some way to inure to the benefit of the late republican party of the state there is not the least grounds for such an assertion when the liberal demo crats proposed to abandon their old party organization for the sake of public good the republicans acting through their conventions met them wholly on their ground it is distinctly understood that we and they have united to form a new party or political organization in addic tion to the principles announced by the independent liberal convention we pro pose to so act under the constitution and laws as may seem best calculated to ad wince the interest of the people of our state and country at large any one who determines to be no longer controll ed by the machinery ot the old parties is fairly entitled to be recognized as a mem ber of our organization just think this is the leader of the coalition which all republicans are asked and ordered to support the late republican party !" the man who says this is the leader of the movement which no wonder the egyptians are a failure in war in all the manners and customs of the race it is impossible

here yesterday and was address j ed by colonel cash about the close of the meeting a difficulty arose at the stand between a white democrat j and a colored man which resulted in i the former being wounded in the head by a blow with a stick or stone at this time two or three pistol shots were fired near the stand but no one was hurt soon after this a large procession of colored men on horse back came upon the streets one of the number having a large pistol buckled around his body the ne gro pointed the pistol at a white man and said there's the damned rascal that did the shooting the white man gave him the lie and the colored man fired immediately sev eral shots were tired by the white man and the colored man fell dead a number of shots were then fired by white and colored men and three oth er colored men were killed and many wounded the authorities soon suc ceeded in restoring quiet which now prevails special to daily journal lancaster s c sept 28 the riot here yesterday was begun by a right between a negro and a white man during a speech by mr d j carter,editor of the lancaster ledger in reply to e b c cash greenback candidate for congress in this district the row becoming general some in furiated negroes attacked mr cuter and he escaped with much difficulty through his own and the exertions of messrs nv c moore donovan and f a clinton the latter a colored man at one time a state senator a few hots were fired at this time but nobody was seriously hurt but during the afternoon a body of mounted ne groes several of them drunk and in furiated appeared upon the streets and as they passed a hotel the town where mr donovan was standing one o the negroes who was armed with a large pistol straped around his waist drew it and pointed it at mr donovan said there's the damn ras cal that interfered at the sneaking donovan replied that the uegro lied whereupon the latter fired at d.uio v.-in without serious effect however several shots were then fired _ by white men and the negro who fired at donovan fell dead firing con tinued on l*>th sides fur some minutes and three negroes were killed out right and three more seriously two of them probably fatally wounded several whites received pistol wounds but none of them serious six or seven horses ridden by the colored people were shot down the shoot in'r was at last didfcontiued aiul order was restored in the authorities with great difficulty many drunken ne groes were on the streets last night and a renewal of the difficulty was much feared but everything is quiet now and it is hoped that no further trou ble will occur north carolina the tariff commission in wilmington wilmington n c sept 27 the tariff commission arrived here this morning and held a session in the custom house the subjects brought to its attention were rice peanuts chalk sud silk cocoons the rice interest was advocated by i l russell donald macrae and l j fremont peanut and chalk interests by geo z french and the silk co coons interest was incidently men tioned by mr fremont the advo cates of the rice interest expressed themselves as satisfied with the pies ; ent duties but declared that any re duction of them would be fatal to that interest in regard to peanuts french gave the average annual pro duction of the wilmington section as 120,000 bushels up 1861 it was equal to seven-eighths of the entire crop of the united states but under the duty imposed in 1864 the indus i try had increased until now tenncs : see produces from 30,000 to 60,000 bushels and virginia from 700,000 to a million bushels the price was affected by the importation of african peanuts the discontinuance of duty would put an end to the peanut in dustries of north carolina and would impoverish many small farmers as to chalk large deposits of it were found in the state but its freight to new york and philadelphia where chalk was made into whiting would be higher than the cost of chalk which is carried there as ballast as to silk cocoons the soil aud climate of the state were favorable to the cul tivation of mulberry trees and the raising of silk worms both the-e interests might be developed by the imposition of a duly on silk and on silk cocoons mr boteler asked mr fremont whether any complaints came up from the fanning community about the tariff mr fremont replied in the negative all that was heard about it was from congress and stump speeches me thought however that the popular side of the question was a tariff for revenue witli incidental protection but as the rice people wanted the present duty on rice main tained they could not ask to have the duties taken off other political articles the commissioners left for richmond in the afternoon 8!3oo,ooo,oo lost in georgia gold mines that can hereafter be sated
