£hc UJoroing Pcirs. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUTLDING). J. H. ESTILL, Proprietor. W. T. THOMPSOJT, Edllor. THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1881. It will be seen by oar Albany dispatch that the New York Legislature still re fuses to accept the resignations of Messrs. Conkling and Piftt ‘‘by a large majority.” A little State like Rhode Island can transact its business without much trouble. Its General Assembly adjourn ed Friday after doing all that was neces sary to do in four days. The distribution of the twag in the star route robbery was managed by a few persons. These are the men want ed. And MacVeagh thinks he has dropped on some of them. Queen Victoria, it is said, renews her wardrobe every three months, the cast off garments of royalty being sold. A quan tity of this second hand stuff is adver tised for sale in New York, with guar antees that the articles are as represented. Ex-Mayor Stokley, of Philadelphia,has been elected President of the “Atlantic and Gulf Coast Canal and Okeechobee Land Company.” As has heretofore been stated, this company proposes to reclaim a large section of Southern Florida, generally called the “Ever glades,” by draining the swamps. The scheme involves the construction of a canal about three hundred miles in length. It is only a few weeks since Roscoe the Magnificent alluded to the late Mr. Hayes as “That man from Ohio who has just left the White House expecting darkness to cover the land at his depar ture.” The Tribune thinks the able author of* that harmless sneer would give a good deal to day if his own de parture from Washington had covered the land with darkness instead of with the broad grin which now illuminates it. The following epigram by the famous Frenchman, Sainte Beane, is now going the rounds of the French papers: “You must write as much as possible as you would talk, and not talk too much as you would write.” In company with this is an epigram credited to Dumas, which reads: “I have not great confi cence in the men who do not work, and who, on coming into the world, find their life ready made for them.”- Seven thousand pages of testimony have been collected during the Whitta ker court-martial. Chamberlain, ame lodious South Carolina reminiscence, summed up the case for the defense last week, and endeavored to prove that it was impossible for a colored cadet to tell a lie. The Whittaker case will prove a very expensive and disastrous way for the Republican party to make political capital. The evidence is very conclu sive as to Whittaker’s own participation in his little “outrage.” Never before in the history of naviga tion has there been so much crossing of the Atlantic ocean as at the present time. On Saturday last seven large steamers sailed from New York alone for Euro pean ports, all with full passenger lists. This week eighteen more will take their departure from the same port, and next week fifteen, each with every berth en gaged long in advance. Meanwhile every vessel coming from Europe to this coun try is fairly full of first class passengers, and all are literally crowded with immi grants. Judge Robertson supported Conkling at the Republican Convention of 1876 until the break came, although he lost the nomination for Governor of New York in 1872 through Conkling. In 1876 he was again a candidate for Gov ernor in New York, and Conkling’s ma chine tripped him because he had, at the Cincinnati Convention, gone over to Blaine. Last year Judge Robertson broke permanently with Conkling by re fusing to abide oy the instructions of the New York Republican Convention at the Chicago Convention. He and Conk ling have not spoken since. The anti-Masonic movement showed signs of life in the Reformed Church Bynod at Hudson, N. Y., Friday. Several petitions from Michigan and Wisconsin urged the Synod to adopt de cisive measures to suppress Masonry and to compel ministers who belong to the order to quit either it or the pulpit The Roman Catholic Church has steadily set its face against secret so cieties, but Protestant denominations have left the question to be decided by private judgment, and the Reformed Church will find it hard to enforce a dif ferent rule. Colonel Sequin, who has just been killed by Arabs in Tunis, had quite a history for a young man. He was but 33 years of age. In 1871 he wa3 a Com munist in Paris, but made his escape to England, and from thence he canft to this country. He was a graduate of the Polytechnic in Pans and was a man of genius. General liossel placed him at the head of his staff. When he came to New York he brought with him his aged mother, and they lived in great poverty. Last year he returned to Paris and took to journalism. His impetuosity and love of adventure doubtless impelled him to engage in the Tunisian imbroglio. Vice President Arthur went into office with a grand flourish, and set up prompt ly after inauguration his anti Blaine Court in Washington, while the Conk ling press gorgeously proclaimed that his Vice Magnificence intended to show the world, the American people, and the Blaineites inparticular, that the Vice Presidency was no “nonentity,” as charged in the case of Wheeler. The consequential and plethoric Arthur, aided by the lordly Knight of Conkling, would show it to be a power, and render the stately court intrigues thereof as famous as those of his illustrious name sake of the Round Table. And he has done it, only we have to prefix to his famous deeds the preposition in. The only politics in North Carolina is the liquor question, which promises to have considerable effect in disrupting parties. Some weeks ago the Prohibi tion Convention met. It was presided over by the Governor of the State and contained leading members of both par ties, & fourth of the delegates being ne groes. On Tuesday the Anti Prohibi tion Convention, composed of five hun dred members, a large number of whom were negroes, met in Raleigh and was organized by T. N. Cooper, Chairman of the Republican State Committee. The Republicans generally oppose the new prohibition bill, while the Democrats are much split up oyer it. Independentism. There is little doubt that Mahone’s coalition with the stalwart wing of the Republicans, as indicated by Conkling's encouraging dispatch from Albany, in the midst of his own troubles, was in spired by his faith in the growth of In dependentism in both sections of the Union, and in Conkling as the future leader of that movement. The deadly feud between the two wings of the Re publican party North, and the defection in the ranks of the Democracy. South, as illustrated by the present discord in Vir ginia, strongly indicated a denouement some time in the near future, when he whose voice could be heard above the storms would most likely become the leader of the ruling or spoils-distributing party. Conkling seemed to have the inside track, and as Garfield was not supposed to have enough sand in his gizzard to undertake the digestion of the New York stalwarts, it was considered that a general “readjustment” was in inevitable. Conkling’s failure to oust Robertson precipitated measures. His resignation, it was thought, would over whelm the administration and bring upon it quick retribution—Conkling would be triumphantly returned to the Senate, and st&lwartism would be in the ascendant. This would be enough—the Blaine-Garfield wing could be snubbed and starved out during the four years’ reign of stalwartism; Mahone, his fol lowers and all other deserters from the Democratic ranks could be fed from the public crib, and independentism built up to dissolve the "Solid South.” Anti-Monopoly League. If Webster was right when he said : “The freest government cannot long en dure where the tendency of the law is to create & rapid accumulation of property in the hands of a few, and to render the masses of the people poor %pd de pendent,” the Anti-Monopoly League w uld seem to be a timely organization against the consummation of that cen tralized Republican oligarchy, so de voutly wished and worked for by fat bondholders of the North. As the monopolists grow in strength, they be come bolder and less scrupulous, and when they see that they control the gov eminent they grow arrogant and over bearing. Patriotic sentiments have long ceased to find a lodgment in their mer cenary bosoms, and all their harangues about liberty, union, equality, free government, “fair count,” etc., are but hypocritical cantings to cloak their mis -rable greed for power and wealth. Events have sufficiently shown that rather than abandon their nefarious schemes for plundering the government and gathering all its wealth into their own coffers, they would plunge fifty millions of people into bloody revolution and sink the whole machinery of “free government” to perdition. “Eternal vigilance” is said to be “the price of liberty,” and this vigilance mu3t be on the part of the people. Poli ticians are vigilant for themselves—for the spoils. The Negro Republic. The annual dispute about the condi tion of Liberia is going on in some of our Eastern exchanges. The Secretary of the Colonization Society recently pub lished a very rose-colored report, repre senting the Black Republic as a paradise. A writer in the Baltimore Sun produces evidence to show that at the organization of the republic in 1841 the Americo African people numbered 5,000 and the aborigines in the Territory 100,000. In 1878 the Americo-Africans numbered only 19,000 and the aborigines num bered 701,000. This looks as if the native tribes are crowding the Americo- Africans very uncomfortably. Evi dence is produced to show that domestic slavery exists in Liberia “as abject and far more merci less than is to be found almost anywhere else.” The price of a slave in Liberia is from eight to fifteen dollars. The Col onization Society should certainly look into this business. The government is reported as being bankrupt and at the mercy of the British money-lenders who loaned it $200,000 in 1871. The English Sparrow. Reports from different quarters upon the depredations of these biids in the fields, gardens and orchards, wherever the birds have largely increased in num bers, begin to be serious. If they are really the besom of destruction among fruits, as represented, it is high time farmers, vegetable and fruit growers were moving for tbeir extermination. In this country, especially at the South, they are not yet very numerous, and are confined chiefly to a few cities and towns, where they were carried to give life and ornament to parks and lawns. In some localities of the North they are far more numerous, and already begin to give trouble. It will be too late to be sorry when the growth of the evil has passed all bounds, and to make sure work in the destruction of a pest which threatens calamity to important industries of the country, some effective method should be speedily adopted. The Star Route Swindles. The Washington correspondent of the Courier-Journal mentions the following names as likelyjo be indicted for their participation in the star route frauds: Ex Second Assistant Postmaster Genera) Brady, ex-Chief Clerk French, ex-Senator S. W. Dorsey, S. B. Elkins, J. B. Price and Monroe Saulsbury, of New York; N. M. Vail, J. S. Chidester, of Camden, New Jersey; Sanderson and Kerns, of St. Louis; J. W. Parker, J. R. Miner, A. 11. Brown, A. H. Patrick, L. H. Roots and John D. Adams, of Little Rock; F. Armstrong, B. H. Peterson, Thos. McMovitt and Joseph McKibbon. It is said that the star route ring have already secured the services of Col. Bob Ingersoll, Gen. B. F. Butler, Shellaber ger and Wilson, thus showing that they feel there are breakers ahead. The British Government is evidentl y trying to force the Irish people into armed revolution. That is the policy of the landlord ring in the House of Lords. The first thing they know they will have an agricultural rising ia England and Scotland which will destroy the system of feudal tenure of land and the heredi tary legislator system too. Public feel ing in England is working against the import of hereditary legislators, and doubtless within the century the House of Lords will be changed into & Senate, the members of which will be elected by Senatorial districts. A> Oleo Veto.— Gov. Cornell has vetoed a bill recently passed by the New York Legislature to compel people deal in the article to call oleomargarine imi tation butter.” The Governor declares it a “wholly indefensible measure be cause it endeavors to deprive a citizen of rights which are guaranteed under the Constitution and laws of the United States through the patent office. ” The Tribune says: “Conkling’s fight for a vindication is merely a fight for a funeral for which he will furnish the corpse.” French Annexation Schemes. While the press throughout the world have been busy commenting, criticising, deprecating or approving the French manoeuvres in Tunis, Monsieur Grevy has been quietly at work, and has se cured for the French Government a very Important foothold in the South Pacific ocean. The island of Tahiti and the Gambier Archipelago which hold the key to navigation in those latitudes have, by an edict of his Royal Highness PomperoV.,a Kanaka who rules over the destinies of these rockbound land ships, been annexed to the republic of France, and the tricolor to-day floats from the Tahitian palace. There was, of course, a great deal of French buncombe and red tape about taking possession of the islands. Pro cessions of half-naked Kanakas, headed by French naval officers and the Com missary of the republic, paraded through the streets of Papeete; speeches were made; salvos of artillery from the French men-of-war sahited the national emblem as it was hoisted on the island, and the wife of Monsieur Chesse, the Commis sary, embraced the regal moke who had bartered away his nation’s independence for the assurance of good living and a sufficient supply of Cognac for the re mainder of his earthly existence. These islands, remarks the Mobile Remitter, are a very valuable acquisition to France, and it seems somewhat strange that the young French Republic, with its intestine turmoils and dissatisfaction, should have been allowed to quietly scoop in a territory, which in an inter national point of view, gives her ad vantages of which other nations should be watchful. True, these islands have for years past been under a French pro tectorate, but the influence of the French Cabinet ended there; to day M. Barthel my St. Hilaire finds himself at the head of another colony, which in this lonely and excluded division of the world’s sur face may be used to suit his whims and fancies with irreparable inconvenience and injury to other nations. The British lion must have been asleep, and Prince Von Bismarck suffering from an acute attack of sciatica. The Liberian Empire a Failure. The Liberian visions of the old Colonization Society were dissipated long ago, and new evidence is con stantly given of the failure of that em pire of the Africans which was to be founded by their civilized brethren in this country. Not only is the republic of Liberia doing little for the dark con tinent, but it seems unable to take good care of its own adopted citizens. A number of colored men about a year ago went from Arkansas to the colony, hopiDg there to better their condition. Some of them have come back already, and report that they found themselves worse off in their new home. Edward Tolfirro tells a con temporary that he was doing well on a plantation in Helena when “the Liberia fever” set it. He and other persons set out for the land of promise with some money, which was all gone by the time they reached New York. They were helped on their journey by “philan thropic New Yorkers.” Upon their arrival in Africa they were aided for six months by the Colonization Society, but afterward found i' impos sible to get on. “Labor wis paid for in orders upon the storekeepers”— the very evil of which so much com plaint has been made in some portions of the South. Among the blessings of the colony is paper money worth fifty cents on a dollar. On the other hand the Rev. Mr. Garnett, who forms his opinion of Liberia from his correspond ence, believes there is “an inviting future” there, though men “who never would work at home” and who “expect ed ripe figs to drop from the trees into their laps” have been disappointed. The truth is that there is work enough to do at home. They who are willing to do it will stay here, while the other class is pretty sure to fail in anew country. Another scandal is dimly looming up, compared with which the star route frauds may be insignificant. It centers now about the Custodian’s office. Res ignations are expected, and “suspen sions of public opinion;” but the officials implicated say that they acted under orders of persons high above them in authority. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, has been for years insist ing that the bookkeeping at the Treasury is contrived to cover up frauds, and be lieves that there is an enormous deficit in the Treasury. All investigations have thus far been baffled by the officials. The reason why the departments have always fought so desperately to keep the Republicans in power, why ihe rings and star routes, etc., have contributed so heavily to the campaigns, was the dread of the exposure when the Demo crats come in. Garfield is dragging some villianies to light, but the whole truth will come out four years hence when the Democrats come in. It is useless to deny, says the New York Tribune, that there is considerable difference of opinion in this country among religious bodies aad in religious newspapers as to the authoritative ac ceptance of the new version of the New Testament. There has been in some cases an expression of almost unqualified approval, but not in all by aDy means; while a good many evidently require time in which to make up their minds. This feeling is decidedly expressed by the resolution adopted by the Reformed Episcopal Church Council held in this city, which declined to go further than to recommend “a careful and reverent examination of the new version, with a view to its ultimate approval by the church.” This is not a Hfearty recep tion, and seems to open an opportunity for still further criticism and revision. Examination implies doubt; doubt in such a matter does not promise unanim ity; and without unanimity one does not see how acceptance is possible. Still, time and discussion may remove all ob jections. What we mean to say is that at present nothing seems to be settled. The late Mr. Hayes seera9 to be labor ing under the delusion that his opinions of public men and measures are still a matter of interest to the nation, and, says the Philadelphia Record, it would be a pity to disabuse him. He is so absolutely retired from the attention or the care of his fellow-countrymen that any little solitaire game he may indulge in should not be rudely interrupted. A Long Session.— After a five months’ session the Illinois Legislature has just adjourned. The cost of the session was about $250,000, but nothing of import ance was accomplished, and an extra session will have to be held next winter to pass an apportionment bill. State Senator Jacobs, who is'the lead ing Democratic nominee for the United States Senate to succeed Conkling, was at one time a reporter on a New York newspaper. The Memphis Debt Question. The Memphis Avalanche, commenting on the decision of the Supreme Court of Tennessee declaring that the new city government is the legal successor of the old municipality and liable for all its debts, says: “Few lawyers believed that any court would decide otherwise. The court held that so much of the tax ing district act as declares the present government not liable for the old debt to be unconstitutional and void. The biggest job for the creditors is yet to come, and that is to provide a method for collecting their demands. The Su preme Court of the United States has decided that taxation is a legislative power, and the creditors of Memphis must seek their debtor through the Legislature. Until the Legislature of Tennessee levies a tax for the purpose of paying the debtor, or authorizes the city government to levy a tax for that purpose, the old debt is likely to remain unpaid until the city government vol untarily assumes its payment. It is likely, however, that the holders of the ‘compromise’ bonds have a sure thing of getting their money, on the ground that their coupons were made receivable for taxes, and thus the issuance of the bonds became an irrepealable contract. Whether this be the case or not will be decided in the case of James against the city of Memphis, now pending in the Supreme Court. A decision will not soon be reached in this case, however, as the court refused'an application to advance it on the docket.” A Radical Jeiemiad. The Washington Republican, expo nent of stalwartism, sadly says, after quoting one of Grant’s speeches of last year: “But, alas! what now is the condition of that great party, saved from utter de feat by the great labor of Grant, Conk ling and their stalwart associates? Weak ness, indecision, hesitation, petty spite, intrigue, and distribution of patronage to serve personal ambition seem to be the all absorbing and governing motives that characterize those in power. They secured their temporary authority from the people on the presentation of princi ples so forcibly set forth in the above speech of Gen. Grant and advocated by Senator Conkling. Let us cover as with a mantle for a moment the sad reflec tions which arise in the breast of every stalwart Republican as he contemplates the party treachery of those who pro pose to tear asunder the grand old Re publican organization, and destroy one of the most trusted leaders in order to prosecute personal spite and gratify per sonal ambition. ” This is decidedly interesting, coming from the organ of Conkling, the spoils hunter, and Brady, the star route manip ulator. Colonel Grant’s Resignation.— General Sheridan announces the resigna tion of Lieutenant Colonel Grant in a general order, in which he says: "The resignation of Lieutenant Colo nel Frederick D. Grant, Aide de camp, of his position as aid upon the staff of the Lieutenant General, to date June 1, 1881, is hereby accepted. In parting with Lieutenant Colonei Grant after a service upon his staff of more than eight years, the Lieutenant General thanks him for the good soldierly qualities shown by him during said period, and he most earnestly wishes him every suc cess in the future.” It would have been gratifying to the country if General Phil, had indicated the battlefields upon which brevet Lieu tenant Colonel Fred, displayed those “good soldierly qualities” to which he alludes. It has generally been supposed that brevet Lieutenant Colonel Fred, has had what the boys call a soft thing of it, for “more than eight years.” Conkling Fighting Grant’s Bat tles. —The Cincinnati Gazette says: “In so far as Mr. Conkling, even at this time, has any considerable sympathy in the Republican party, it is through the influence of General Grant. Conkling takes pains to make it appear that he is fighting Grant’s battle now as he fought it at Chicago, and Grant is not a man to desert his friends. But will he be likely to follow Mr. Conkling out of the Re publican party? May it not be that General Grant has been misinformed and misled by Conkling’s partisans? These are questions that will be answered very soon, and if we are not much mistaken the result will not be satisfactory to Mr. Conkling?” Gladstone formulated a scheme "last November which provided for the trans portation of 1,000,000 Irish people an nually to Canada, until the old island could be thoroughly swept of Irish of good character. Every able bodied man was to receive fifty acres of land at the expense of the British Government, and an advance of money was to be made to heads of families to give them a start. This is a little better than Oliver Crom well’s scheme. Mr. Gladstone should see that a little better way to dispose of Irish unrest is for the British Govern ment to be just and honorable in its treatment of the Irish. The Washington Poet says one of the most important witnesses in the trial of the star route cases will be a man by the name of Hayes, of Fremont, Ohio, lie was stopping at the White House, in Washington, about the time the alleged frauds were going on, and is supposed to have known more or.less of the internal administration of the Post Office De partment. The Chicago Times reproves Republi can papers for “pointing the slow un movmg finger of scorn at Roscoe Conk ling because of the Sprague matter.” How have the mighty fallen! Six months ago any allusion in a Republican journal to Sprague's shotgun or Narragansett pier, would have been nothing less than high treason. It is noted as a curiousj coincidence that the few Republican defenders of Conkling are nearly all defenders of the star route thieves. &i m Regulator. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.

A SUMMER RESORT HAVING been frequently solicited to open a Summer Hotel here, I have decided to do so, and will open the HIGHLAND PARK AN *i BX for the reception of Summer Board ers WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1,1831. The “Annex” is the building formerly known as the “Aiken Hotel.” It is pleasant lv situated, surrounded by shade trees, and within two minutes’ walk of the depot. It has recently been renovated and repainted, and is now in first-class order. Prices of Board will range from $lO to sls per week per person. Chil dren under twelve years of age half price. Transient $2 50 per day. Aiken is situated on the South Carolina Rail road, on the summit of the Sand Hill region of Carolina, seventeen miles from Augusta, and one hundred and twenty miles from Charles ton. It is TOO feet above tide water, and 400 feet higher than the Savannah river at Au gusta. The healthfulness of the place is well known; the air pure and cool,especially at night. The climate and well kept houses of Aiken have made its reputation national as a “Winter Resort.” Many years ago Aiken was a popular and much frequented Summer Re sort. Of late years the attractions of the place for summer have, owing to a lack of accommo dations, been overlooked. It is my strong de sire to furnish such accommodations as will renew the old time popularity. For further particulars, address B. P. CHATFIELD, my3l-Tu,Th&Sst Proprietor, M. L HARNETT, BEN.
