SUNDAY DECEMBER 28,18??.
SALISBURY & (X)., Proprietors.
A Baltimore magistrate has been
displaced for knowing no law. This
is hard, after a man has been at the
expense of securing an election.
The death at Georgetown, D. C.,
of Prof. Samuel Tyler, LL. D., senior
professor in the law department of
Columbia University, is announced.

Memphis is not a very large city,
it has three candidates tor

The 'fight between Hayes and
Conkling is nothing more than a feud
^between Conkling and Evarts. The
country is not large enough for the
pwogreat statesmen of New York,
Celia, Lewis, a pretty Jewess of
New York, sues her husband for di
vorce because he obtained her under
false pretenses. Before marriage he
claimed to be a Jew. Now it appears
that he is a Christian, and she wants
to get rid of him.

• Ex-Secretary Boutwell has
completed the first volume of the
new edition of the Revised Statutes,
under authority of a late law of
Congress. The original revision was
badly made, and there is a fear
that this work will not be an im-
' provpment.
Captain Eai*s has obtained the
official certificate as provided by act
of Congress, which entitles him to a
second installment of half a million
dollars, payable after securing a
channel 200 feet wide and 22 feet
deep, from the deep water of the Gulf
to the deep navigable current of the
Mississippi
The crusade in Baltimore society
against dancing comes particularly
hard on young men who have no
other accomplishments, and who yet
wish to be agreeable. No matter how
much a man may have spent on the
education of his feet, in anti-dancing
society lie can make no headway with
an empty head.
The New York Tribune has dis
played its usual alacrity in crawling
over to what it thinks is the winning
side. To use the words of the Eve-
nine) Post, “it deserts President Hayes
and with bended knyes crowds in
among flie^servfle lbllowers of Sena
tor Conkling, who thinks that the
civil service as it is is perfect, and
who regards what the Tribune has
lieen saying for years as the babbling
of fools.'’
It is probable the census of1880 will
not show over 45,000,000. This will
be a large population for a country
which, ninety years ago, numbered
only 3,929,214 souls, all told. It will
show that we have become a great
people—greater in numbers than
France,. Germany or England, and
inferior to Russia only of what we
call the civilized nations—and possess
ing a military strength not equaled
by any other people on the globe.
The Rev. Dr. Cuyler publishes in
the New York Independent, his
annual appeal for total abstinence on
New Year’s Day. He says thatcoffee
and lemonade will satisfy the demand
lor hospitality, and he appeals to wo
men not to be tempters. $Ie takes
ground against Moody and Murphy,
who hold that piety will obliterate
the appetite for alcohol, although he
thinks abstinence is easier for a Chris
tian than for a sinner. He asserts
j^t inebriety, is on the increase
among women.
It appears that the election of
Pierce as Mayor of Boston was great
ly due to the efforts of Gen. Butler’s
Simmons, Collector of the Port, who
took an active part in the campaign
in spite of the President’s civil ser
vice rules. It lias been stated that
the part Simmons played in the elec
tion will cost him his position, which
of course will not be the case; but
the President is there offered an ex
cellent opportunity of carrying his
emotional programme into execution
by removing a prominent Govern
ment official for meddling with local
politics.
The new California Senator, James
T. Farley, is represented as a man of
latge and ratkfieJLgavy frame, whose
dark hair and full O-aixl arc sprink
led with traces of sifverage, but
whose eyes look keenly from under
its shaggy brow, evidence that while
years have left their traces on the
body, the brain is yet as clear and
active as in youth. Mr. Farley im
presses one with an idea of reserve,
and although his manner is cordial,
still it does not lead one to attempt
familiarity. In other words, he is
cool, self-possessed and too well ac
customed to the ways of the world to
be caught with pretty flattery.
The sub-committee, consisting of
Messrs. Wood, of New York; Gibson,
of Louisiana; Tucker, of Virginia;
Banks, of Massachusetts, and Bur-
chard, of Illinois, appointed by the
ways and means committee to con
sider the subject of the revision of the
tariff and internal revenue taxes,
have lieen busily engaged at their
work during the recess,, and will
probably report early in January,
i hey have had before them a number
ot representatives of different inter
ests, such as silk, wool, sugar, iron,
medicine, etc. They decline to give
out any of their conclusions at this
time, but it is probable that their re
port will be in favor of a large reduc
tion of articles liable to duty, and a
moderate reduction of duties on the
leading articles of consumption. It
is believed that this can be done with
out injury to the revenue.
Messrs. Tucker and Burehard have
the internal revenue taxes under con
sideration. It is lielieved that they
will advise a reduction of the taxes on
" hiskey and tobacco, and the reim
position of the income tax, so that the
Eastern States may bear their share
of the burden of taxation. The bill
will probably be modejtatedimscope,

It to alleged the world is a mere
copyist. In the mental realm it
does seem to be true. The brain may
be racked to excessive pain, and
what is deemed some origninal
thought is evolved. Ransack the post
and the ideate ascertained to be as
old as the earliest records of man.
Change and mutability may govern,
but they seem to revolve in circles.
The old superstitions of the dark ages
and the early pagan worship still
have their leading features impressed
upon the present rapid century as
firmly as daring the days when they
were so ignorantly believed. There is
somehow an hereditary reverence for
the past implanted in every breast
While thus dreaming, we were
glancing yesterday over a copy
St. Nicholas, the best magazine for
children ever published, and interest
ing to all, for men and women are
but creatures of larger growth. The
suggestion was made that of the
thousands and millions Mho daily
use articles of English manufacture,
and see the coat of arms thereon, how
many can tell M'hat these arms mean
and whence they are derived? In
lieu of tiresome political questions
let’s write an article about it. The
“arms” of Great Britain consists of
the device of a lion and a horse (some
times represented as a unicorn), sup
porting between them a shield sur
mounted by a crown. On the shield
are divisions called “quarterings,” on
one of which are two lions and a
horse, and attached to the whole the
French sentence, Dieii et mon droit—
“God and my right.”' In olden times
the national symbol of England u r as
the rose, of Scotland the thistle, of
Ireland the shamrock or clover, and
in the reign of Elizabeth the three
were united on the royal shield, and
on victory over France the symbol of
France, a unicorn, (fabulous animal
with one horn, represented in herald
ry as a supporter) wearing a chain to
denote the subjection of France to
England, u-as added
When a new sovereign succeeds to
the crown of Great Britain he has the
right to place his own arms upon the
royal shield. George the I., the suc
cessor of Queen Annie, was a Guelph,
coming from the German, and all the
sovereigns succeeding him, including
Victoria, are of this family and name.
George I. was the son of the grand
daughter- of James I. of England,
whom the Duke of Brunswick, after
ward Elector of Hanover, married.
The direct line failing this great
grandson, named George Louis Guelf,
a Saxon-German, became King of
Great Britain, and he added the “lion
and horse,” amis of BrunsM’ick and
Hanover, to the arms of the realm.
Succeeding him have been George
II., George III., of American revolu
tionary memory; George IV., Wil
liam IV. and Queen Victoria, the
grand-daughter of George III.—all of
the German line of Guelphs.
Away back in the mists of centu
ries the whole of Northern Europe
was occupied by hardy races of pa
gans, among whom u r ere the Saxons,
distinguished by their size and
strength, fair hair and complexion.
The country to-day is occupied by
their descendants, the Germans, the
latter name signifying “a warlike peo
ple.” They conquered the Angles
(English) in England, and by inter
mixture we have the Anglo-Saxon,
who in turn were conquered by the
Normans,and hence a French element
was added to qur language.
The god Wdden (M’e still have Wo
den’s day, Wednesday) had a favorite
white or light gray horse, ereated by
magic art, upon which lie bestowed
the power of assisting and protecting
warriors. He was the god of these
pagan Saxons* This animal shared
in the worship given Woden. In the
groves of oaks, the first temples, the
pagan priests reared white steeds
which none were permitted to mount,
and which being solemnly dedicated
to Woden, were believed to be gifted
by him with the power of foretelling
events by certain signs and motions.
They were consulted before going
into battle, and occasionally one was
sacrificed to W r oden,
horse, and the bloody head elevated
on a pole and borne aloft in the van
of the Saxon army. The Saxons bore
the head of a wooden horse on a pole
as an ensign when lighting Charle
magne, and to this day the standard
of the little Kingdom of Saxony is a
white horse painted on a black
ground.
One thousand years ago, Bruno,the
son of a Saxon King, founded a city
in Saxony, which he called after
himself, Brunonis Vicus, now Bruns
wick. He retained as his standard
the white horse of Saxony. Three
centuries later, the reigning prince of
Brunswick was Henry Guelph, the
ancestor of the present sovereigns of
Britain, a leader in the crusades, who
by his courage and strength acquired
the soubriquet of “Henry the Lion.”
He declared himself independent of
the great Emperor, Frederick Barba-
rossa, and as a token of defiance set
up a great stone lion in Brunswick
and had the same symbol placed upon
his standard—two lions supporting a
shield beneath the white horse. So
when in the beginning of the eight
eenth century one of the House of
Hanover or Brunswick uas made
King of Great Britain, he quartered
these symbols, the origin of which
are thus briefly traced on the royal
arms of that mighty realm.
We have the dragon also in the
English emblems. St. George, the
patron saint of the island of the An
gles (English) overcame him, and
St. George to this day M’ith his inspir
ation makes England the grandest
empire, and Great Britain the freeest
and most prosperous realm of earth.
Sentiment and pride have made other

No good can be-accomplished by
sitting down quietly and saying the
North and South road is a good tiling
and discussing its advantages. It is
presented now to every merchant in
the form of how much value do you
think it worth to von and what will
you subscribe to buy and extend
it to Chipley. Demosthenes, the
Athenian orator, was once asked
what was the secret of oratory. He
answered, “action! action! aetion!”
This applies equally to the enterprises
of life as well as to eloquence, Ener

raising the $40 ,000 necessary to pur
chase the road and build it further.
Columbus, with proper endeavor,
can easily do this, and if she consults
her interest and future she will cer

merchants and all in prosperous
times, when monied men are in a
good humor. See all. Let them give

venture will soon be assured as a tri
umphant success or a disastrous fail
ure. In this, as in every other enter
prise, the most vigorous and persist
ent of perseverance is required to
rouse people from their lethargy.

privilege when he has paid his share
of tax for the purpose ?
In the vicissitudes of fortune, M’hich
are the law in Ameriea, it frequently
happens that the possessors of ample
means see their M’ealth melt aM’ay by
causes M’hich they are powerless to
prevent. These persons, having con
tributed their share to a generous sys
tem of public education, have a right
to expect and even demand for their
children the same privileges they
have aided in giving to others. The
taxes they have annually paid have
been the premiums on a mutual insu
rance educational fund, and it is nei
ther right nor just that their children
should be deprived of the benefits
arising therefrom. As to the charac
ter of these benefits there can be no
question; they were never intended
to be confined in a niggarttly spirit
to the mere rudiments, but were ex-
] jected to give to the youth of the city
i:he opportunity of obtaining as liberal
an education parents have
had and which nmr been paid for in
advance.
The poor are the progenitors of the
rich, and, since when wealth has
been accumulated the time for gain
ing education has generally passed
aw^ay, the interests of the community
demand that its future rich men shall
be offered the opportunity for gaining
liberal instruction M’hife still con
tending with their poverty, so that
when property has been amassed the
oM’ners thereof shall ndt constitute a
class of ignorant rifcft men, the exis
tence of which must ever be an ob-
' seethe advance-
Have -tfiose who Mould grudgingly
give nothing but rudimentary in
structions in the nublfc schools ever
considered that the -interests which
grant the right to give any education
whatsoever necessarily- imply the
right to give, the best that can be
found ? Children are "the property of
the ‘State’; they are the future State
itself. If they grow up ignorant and
vicious the State takes cognizance of
the fact and deprives them of liberty
or life. The' power to pnnish the
vices born of ignorance implies not
only the power to prevent these vices
by edu6atioii, but also to make that
education the very best. The
State has . the right to train
the talents of her children to
her use, just as she has the right
to train sailors and soldiers-; and the
free State or people Mhieh neglects to
increase the value of the children by
failing to offer toall that can accept
it, not only the most liberal educa
tion, but also an education absolutely
free from the faintest trace of a char
itable or eleemosynary character, fails
to do its duty and will Inevitably be

The Globe-Democrat publishes an
interview with Senatof Blaine.
Speaking of Mr. Hayes and tlie Re-
E ublican party, he said: Mr. Hayes
as undoubtedly placed himself in a
position where he cannot receive tlie
cordial support of the party that
elected him. The line, in fact, is al

about $70,000, but liis personal affairs

The torlcta Tthe
From a Debate in the House in 1888.]
Mr. Conkling /lesired to add t:
no commission, paper or autli
whatever was issuv to him, except
the fetter of retainer which had lieen
read. If the member from Maine
had the least idea how profoundly in
different to him his opinion M’as on
tlie subject he had been discussing,
or on any other subject, he thought
he M’ould hardly take the trouble to
express it. He apologized to the
House for the length 6f time he had
occupied in consequence of being
drawn into the matter by an inter
ruption w’hieh lie had before de
nounced to be ungentlemanly and
impertinent, and having nothing
whatever to do with the matter,
Mr. Blaine said lie knew that this
M’asM'liat they callotl'doM n East ‘run
ning emptyings.” The gentleman
from NeM’ York could not get oft on
the technical pretense that lie did
not hold a commission as judge advo
cate. Many an officer had led a brig
ade, a division or a corps M’ith no
more of a commission than such a
one as the gentleman from New
York held. As to the gentleman’s
cruel sarcasm. Mr. Blaine continued :
I hope lie M’ill let me escape his dis
dain. His lordly pomposity, his
grandiloquent sM’ell, his majestic
overtOMering, his turkey-gobbler
strutting have been so crushing to
myself, and to all members of the
House, that I knoM’ it M as an act of
the grossest temerity on my pait to
venture on provoking them. But T
know who M’us responsible for
it all. I knoM' that for the
last five Meeks an extra
strut has seized the gentleman. It is
not his fault, it is tlie fault of another.
That gifted and satirical mail Theo
dore Tilton, of the NeM’ York Inde
pendent, was over here spending
some weeks and M’riting home letters,
in which, among some.serious tilings,
he put some jocose things, among the
crudest of which Mas that tlie man
tle of the late Winter Davis had fall
en upon tlie member from New
York. He (Conkling) took it as se
rious, anil lias since strutted more
than usual. Well, tlie resemblance
is great. As striking as Hyperion to
a Satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud
to marble, a dung bill to a diamond,
a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, aM’hin-
ing puppy to a roaring lion. Shade
of the mighty Davis, forgive tlie al
most profanation of that jocose satire.

What They Call Their Senator.
From the Hew Orlenns Democrat.]
Sneak-Thief Kellogg, we take occa
sion to say, does not represent the
State of Louisiana in the Senate; he
never M’as elected to that body, and
the people of the State—the people of
every neighborhood of the State—are
justly indignant at the indecent be
havior of the Republicans in seating
him. The representatives of this
State in Congress, we have no ddubt,
refuse to recognize Kellogg as a Sena
tor from their State, as M’e are very-
certain that he vtfkiever be received,
countenanced or treated as such by
the people. Sneak-Thief Kellogg, as
he is called all over Louisiana, mth, we
assume, be unceremoniously kicked
out of the Senate the moment the
Democrats get control of that liody.
•U* Silver.
Toledo, Dec. 22.—A large meeting
adopted a resolution, urging Senators
and Representatives to support a bill
remonetizing silver, with full and
unlimited coinage.
Resolved, That the honor and
credit of the nation are better pro
tected by a due regard for the welfare
and prosperity of those upon whom
the discharge of its obligations rests'
than by undue concessions in favor
of holders of such obligations.
A resolution was also passed con
demnatory of the resumption act; and
demanding Us Immediate repeal.
pany
Mr. Hayeklnki party view is neither
on the Republican side nor on this
line. He is on the other side of tlie
line so far as the practical results of
his Administration are concerned. It
is absurd to suppose that there can
be any harmony between him and
the Republican party as long as lie
pursues his present course. The peo-
E le know whether he has carried out
is pledges as the President elected
by the Republican party.
Being asked about the Southern
ilicy, Senator Blaine said that on
is subject there was of course a dif
ference of opinion, but the difference
was very slight, and it M’as safe to
assume that there was no great di
vision of sentimeut in the party on
the matter. “Many honest Republi
cans,” said the Senator, “believe that
the Southern people are as loyal to
the Union as M’e are in the North,
but of this there is a serious doubt.
The Southern people, it is true, are,
according to all appearances, peace
fully inclined and snow a disposition
to maintain the supremacy of the
National Government, but men w’ho
were in the rebel army cannot so
readily give up their faith, and their
professions, in my opinion, are
only skin deep. The Southerners
are laying low until they get on top.
They lead the Democracy and should
their party get into power in 1880,
will show a hand that will sur-
that class of Republicans who
hove that reconciliation has been
complete. The Southern people are
not in feet reconciled. They are play
ing policy and their purpose is to get
possession of the Government and
rule it as they did before the M r ar, and
then all the established rules of the
war and reconstruction M-ould lie set
aside.

past twelve months, ships had
been constantly employed convey
ing stores to Gibraltar and Malta, at
each of which there is noM’ a vast ac

LOSS OF A STEAMER.
The conviction which has been
growing for several days now almost
amounts to certainty that the Dutch
steamer Friesland, from Java to Rot

off Cape Finistere. She passed Gi
braltar on December 5th. A M’reck
has been sighted, M’hich there is but
little doubt came from the Friesland.
The crew of the Friesland numbered
about fifty. She had no passengers.
At first it M’as reported that there
were 362 passengers, but these were
Malay pilgrims and were landed at
Jeddah.

NEUTRALITY OF DANUBE.

gotiations have been proceeding some
time concerning the neutralization of
the Danube. No understanding has
been reached so far, as Russia M’ishes
neutrality to extend to the sea, M’hilst
England and Turkey seem only in
clined to let it reach Sulina.
SOME STUFF ABOUT GREECE,
The Times' correspondent at Ath
ens is assured that many Cretan
chiefs, dissatisfied M’ith the cautious
policy of Greece, have adopted as a
programme, freedom under the pro
tection of fengland. The Athenian
clubs propose to make threatening
demonstrations in favor of war on
Sunday, M’hich the authorities intend
to suppress.

says a telegram from Constantinople
announces that Suleiman Pasha start

THE PAPERS ON THE MEETING OF

London, December 22.—The Sat

Commons may be asked to make an
extraordinary grant for military and
naval purposes—a meeting of Par
liament in some respect unfortunate,
though it M’ill probably admit of jus-
i tification.
| The'Spectator believes the real mean
ing of stimmmons of Parliament is
Lord Beaconfield’s desires to encour
age the Turks to continue the strug
gle, M’ith the hope of ultimate British,
assistance, and that the Turks M’ill so
interpret it. Tlie Spectator thinks
England, M’lien it comes to the point,
M’ill decline to fight for the Turks,
although he will at last be com
pelled to purchase peace by with
drawing to their natural liome in

St. Louis, December 18.—Meagre
accounts of a disastrous fire and rob
ber}’ at Salisbury, Chariton county,
Missouri, reached here a day or two
ago, but not much Mas thought of it.
Later ad vices showthat it M’as a much
more serious affair than at first sup-
jiosed. It appears that a gang of ne
groes robbed the store of A. C. Gaines,
last Tuesday night, and then fired
the building*to hide the evidence of
their crime. Six buildings M'ere
burned, and a large amount of prop
erty destroyed upon Mhieh there
M’as no insurance. After the fire
M r as subdued, four negroes—two
men and two women—M’ere arrested
for the robbery. An attempt Mas
made to lynch the prisoners, but M’as
prevented by the officers, and the ne
groes M’ere taken to Keytesville and
lodged in jail. Next day a great
crowd of Salisbury people M'ent to
Keytesville for the avoM’ed purpose
of hanging the prisoners, but the
sheriff hearing of their designs, re
moved them to a place of safety. On
Thursday they M ere brought back to
Keytesville, and another attempt to
lynch them was made, but failed.
Through the vigilance of the officers
and law abiding citizens, other ar
rests M’ere made, and a large amount
of the stolen property recovered,
Among those last arrested was Lige
Dougherty, M’ho, after being bad
