The Congo Conference
There is now being held in Ber
lin a conference of all the nations
having any interest in the affairs of
Alriea. It is called the GongJ Con
ference; aud to the river of that
name, and the country through
which it flows, the deliberations are
assumedly to be confined. Next to
tho Amazon, this river Coogo pours
tho largest flood of waters into the
ocean. Until Stanley followed it
from its source to its mouth there
had been erroneous ideas, both of
its origin and course, which are now
known. From itB source in one of
the great inland lakes to its mouth
on tho west coast it runs about 1500
miles. From mouth to source it is
con-iderably over 1000 rnileB as the
crow, flies and navigablo the entire
distance, save for about 100 miles,
where its nmooth and broad current
is broken by falls. With a railroad
around these. » L»ghway ib °
„u /or cbo commeroe of the world to
tho heart of Africa. The Congo in
its.course runs five degrees south and
two degrees north of the equator,
aud traverses a country rioh in all
the native products of the tropics,
and one that can be made to rival in
useful products the most favored
portions of the globe. Thus far the
Portugese almost exclusively have
carried on a trade with the natives
from the west caast, knowing but
little of the vast interi >r from which
they received the two principal com
modities, hides aBd ivory. The
tubes of the interior are principally
engaged in raising cattle, and are by
no means so barbarous as might be
supposed. Since Stanley a explora
tions, the eyes of all Europe, as well
as thoBe of America, have been up
on it. And there .will be a difference
ol opinion whethi-r the millions of
unsuspecting blacks are to be. bless
ed with European civilization or
cursed by European greed. . Doom 1
ed most certainly are the kings and
chieftains of the numerous tribes to
lose their rights of eminent domain;
to the overthrow of their laws and
customs; to the disruption of their
t-imple forms of government, and to
the subversion of their crude reli
gious beliets. In return, they are to
be invited to adopt Christianity, in
some of its many denominational
divisions; to grow poor under Euro
pean guardianship, to be taught how
they can best labor to make their
despoilers rich, under the assump
tion (hut they may possibly grow
knowledgeable and rich themselves,
aud to be taught to pray and drink
hisky, and finally become a horde
of pariahs in their own free land
In what manner this is to be accom
plished, and in the interests of what
nation or nations, is to be determin
ed by the conference, to which the
representatives of all governments
are invited, except those of tue
kings aforesaid of Africa,
ty sons of the tropios, and they will
go hand in hand witli the money
grabbers of all nations, who, with
guns and whiskv, will enslave and
corrupt the semi-civilized Hotten
tots as only the highly civilized can.
The conquest and subjugation, the
civilization, the evangelization, and
the utter moral corruption of tho
dark-baed populations of Central

BLAINE’S 8PEECH.
The Bitterness of his Defeat Drives
Him Mad.
Augusta, Me , Nov. 18.—A large
number of devoted personal and
political friends of Mr. Blaine sere
naded him this evening as an expres
sion of personal good will and admi
ration of bis manner of conducting
the national campaign.
After the exordium, and oomph
meuts to his supporters, _ Mr. Blaine
delivered the folio *'
wing tirade:
Speaking now, not at all as a de
feated candidate, but aB a loyal and
dovoted American, I think that the
transfer of the political power of the
government to ibe Soulb, ia a great
national misfortune. It is a misfor
tune. because it introduces an ele
ment which cannot insure harmony
and prosperity to the people, be
cause it introduces iutoihe republic
the rule of tho minority. The first
instinct of an American is equality
equality of right, equality of priv
ilege, equality of political power
shall be conceded to the Southern
white man in tho government of the
Union.
TRYING TO BULLDOZE LABORERS,
If that be quietly conceded in this
generation, it will harden into cus
tom till a bade of inferiority will at
tach to a Northern white man as
odiously as ever a Norman noble
-tamped it upon a Saxon churl. This
subject is of deep iuterest to the la
boring men of the North. With
the Southern Democracy triumphant
in their States aud in the nation, the
negro will bo compelled to work for
just such wages as the whites may
decree—wages Dhioh will amount as
did the supplies of the slaves, to a
bare subsistence, equal in cash, per
haps, to 35 cents per day, il aver
aged over the entire South. The
white laborer in the North will soon
feel the distinctive effect of this up
on his own wages.
Republicans have clearly seen
from the earliest days of reooustruo
tion that wages in the Sooth must be
raised to just recompense of laborer
or wages iu the North ruinously low
ered, und tho party has steadily
worked for the former result, The
reverse influence will now be set in
motion, and that condition of affairs
produoed which years ago Mr. Lin
coin warned the free laboring men
of the Noith would prove hostile to
idej>
WORMWOOD AND GALL.
Purposely—I may say instinctive
ly—I have discussed the issues and
eousequences of that contest with
out the remotest reference to the
;eutlemnn who is elevated to the
Presidency. Towards him person
ally I have no cause for the Blight
est ill will, and it is with cordiality
that I express tho wish that his of
ticial career may prove graitifyiug
to himself and beneficial to the
country, and that bis administra
tion may overcome tho embarrass
un nts which the peculiar source of
its power imposes on it from the
hour of itu birth.
At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine’s
peech ho invited a largo crowd into
Ins house, and for nearly uu hour
an informal reception was held. As
hundreds after hnndrods pc
through the rooms the greetings were
especially friendly and cordial.

to-day in the United States.
ARRAIGNING THE SOUTH
The course of affairs in the South
has crushed out the political power
of more than six million American
citizens, aud has transferred it by
violence to others. Forty-two Pres
idential electors are assigned to the
South on account of the colored
population, who, with more than
1,100,000 legal votes, have been un
able to choose a single elector even
in those States where they have a
majority of more than 100,000,
They are deprived of free suffrage,
and their rights as citizens are trod
den under foot The eleven States
that comprised tho rebel Confedera
cy had, by the census of 1880,7,500,•
000 white population and 5,300,000
colored population. The colored
population almost to a man desire to
support the Republican party, but
by a system of cruel intimidation
and by violence and murder, when
ever violence and murder are
thought necessary, they are abso
lutely deprived of all political pow
er. If the outrage stopped there it
would be bad enough, bat it does
not stop there, for dot only is the
negro population disfianohised, bnt
the [lower which rightfully and con
stitutionally belongs to them, is
transferred to the white population
enabling the white population of the
South to exert on the electoral col
lege an influence far beyond that
exerted by the same number of
white people in the North. To il
lustrate just bow it works to the
destruction of all fair election let
Itablj l«ad to a ruinous reduction
of wages. The rneie Gtflterenoo iu
color of skin will notBufficeto main
taiu an entirely different standard of
wages in contiguous and adjacent
States, and the voluntary will be
compelled to yield to the involunta
ry. So completely have the colored
men in the South been already de
prived by tbo Democratic party of
their constitutional and legal rights
as citizens ol the United States that
they regard the advent of that party
to the national power as a signal of
their re-enslavement, and are af
frighted because they think all legal
protection for them is gone.
THE OLD BRIGADIERS ON TRIAL.
Few persons in the North realize
how completely the chiefs of the re
bellion wield the political power
which has triumphed in the late
election. It is a poitentous fact that
the Democratic Senators who came
from the States of the late Conlede-
racy all—and I mean all, without a
single exception—personally partic
ipated in the rebellion against the
National Government. It is a still
more significant fact that iu those
States no man Who Was loyal to tho
Union, no matter how strong a Dem
ocrat he may be to day, -has the
slightest chance of political promo
tion. The oue great avenue to hon
or in that section is a record of zeal
ous seruice iu the war aguiust the
Government. It is certainly uu as-
. i - —~
There comes »time too, in the life
of almost every drunkard when lie
passes into tho Barne condition, end
should be dealt with accordingly.
But, for the most part, we believe
that drunkenness is a crime, and the
drunkard should be treated as a
criminal. It would bo in some oases,
to be sure, difficult to draw a line
between the two conditions; bnt
generally there should not be such
trouble. Let there bo constituted
commisHions ric inebrio inquirendo,M

drimkard bo brought before such.
If he is found responsible, society
needs protection, he needs to be
protected from himself In either
case the seutouce passed upon him
Hhould not be (prininablo by time,
may be suspended wlu n he is appa
rently recovered, or 'during good be
havior.’ Likewise, like anv other
criminal or lunatic, the Htate should
provide for Iris cars With such a
lisoiplino, aud the removal of temp
tation in the shape of the low dram
r, it would be possible iu a gen
eration or two to reduce drunken
ness to its lowest terms.—Tho

King Leopold, of Belgium, is Pres
ident, and Stanley the executive of
ficial in the Congo. It has for an
assumed object the civilization of
the country through the medium of
European commerce and European
missionaries, and does aim, it is said,
at gubernatorial authority. Ine
Belgian envoy to tho conference is
expected to advocate the interests
of this association. The formulated
questions for settlement are as fol-
*°1? Freedom of commerce aud free
access on the Cougo for the flags of
all nations.
2. The same freedom on the Ni
ger,
3. A determination of the right
of any power to occupy territories
which have not yet been subjugated
by a civilized State

tory on the Congo and trade with the
natives has not been of that eftec-
ii urhifth entitles you to
late Confederacy a'li five loyal
States of the North, possessing in
each section tho same number of
eleotoral votes.
HOW HE FIGURES IT OUT
In the South the States of Lonisi
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and South Carolina have an aggre
gate of 48 eleotoral votes. They
have 2,800,000 white people and
over 3,000,000 colored people. In
the North the States of Wisconsin
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Cali'
foruia have likewise au aggregate of
48 electoral votes, and these have a
white population of 6,600,000, or
just double the five Southern States
t have named. These Noithern
States have practically no colored
population. It is, therefore evident
that the white men iu these South
eru States, by usurping and absorb
ingtbe rights of the colored men
are exerting just double the political
power of the white men in the Nor
thern States. I submit, my friends,
that such a condition of affairs is
extrordinarily unjust and derogatory
the day of its trial and agony is still
a political disqualification should
be called now to rule over the Union.
All this takes place during tho life
time of a generation thut fought iu
tho war, and elevates into practical
command of the American Govern
ment the identical men wLo organ
ized for its destruction, and plunged
us into the bloodiest contest of mod
ern times. I have spoken of the
South, os placed by the late election,
in possession of the Government,
and I mean all that my words imply.
The South furnished nearly three
fourths of thew olectoral votes that
defeated tho Republican parly. They
^lll step into the command of Dem
ocrats as unchallenged and as un
restrained as they held the same po
sition thirty years before the civil
war.
POLITICAL INEQUALITY IMPOSSIBLE.
Gentlemen, there canDot be polit
ical inequality among the citizens
of a free Republic ; there cannot be
a minority of white men iu the south
ruling a majority of white men in
the North. Patriotism, self-respect,
pride, protection for person aud
safety for the country all cry out
against it. The very thought of it
stirs the blood of men who inherit
equality from the Pilgrims, who first
stood on Plymouth Rock, and from
the lib.Tty-loving patriots who came
' ‘ William Penn. It
About a mile from Greensboro off
the road to Union Point, on the
farm of Mr. Ed Jackson, has beeD
recontly discovered a mound which
has puzzled all who have seen it
A few weeks ago, Mr?. Jackson and
a lady neighbor wore walking around
the farm which immediately joins
tho house lot, and when pushing
aside the brushes skirting the laud
observod a huge mouud of rock
regular order, und mounting up
higher than their heads Ou Mr
Jackson's return home bis wife told
him of wlrat she had found and ad
ded that tho mount was tho most
curious looking pile of rocks she had
ovetfsoon. Tho following morning
Mr. Jackson, with a number of oth
ers, went to the spot, and there saw
the hugo pile, more than a hundred
feet iu o:rouinieronco, every stone
apparently laid with the greatest
precision. Tho curiosity of the
crowd was aroused, and they deter
mined on an investigation. They
began at once to throw of the rooks
around the outer edge. This was
not accomplished without difficulty,
aud after going about a foot or two
they came tp a numb r of big rocks,
varying Irom a foot to three feet
square, every one laid ns if by a ma
son. To go further down required
several days of hard labor, bnt the
stones were finally removed and ly
iug there were a number of human
bones all bleached, bat still perfect
Among them were the hand, wrist
thigh and knee bones, and, from
their size, it was evi lent they belong
ed to u pers u of tremendous slat
ure. The excavation on the mound
continued day after day. Curiously
shaped pieces of fliut und stono, in
rings of great size, iu beads and ar
row heads, came to light. By this
time they hud gone fully five feet
down, even below the earth's sur
faeo, aud still tho wads of rock met
them. Up to this time no discovery
of great importance has been mado
but there seems to bo no cud to tbe
rock, and there is no telling what
lies at the bottom of it all. Tbe
stones of which the mound is built
are of peculiar kind, difterent from
any arouud this seotioD,and wereev
ideutly brought from a distance,
The question is why Mas the mound
built aud by whom? It is different
from most indian mounds, aud
could not have been intended as
burial place for tho dead, as only one
skeleton has thus fas been found
in Indian mounds. There is a the
ory that the mouud contains a treao
ure. Tbe care taken iu mortaring
the-rock, and the size of them, is au
indication that it was not iuteudod
simply as a burial spot. Some
years ugo a man in this country, his
name we have not been able to learn
asserted that ou this place was
buried treasure: He Btated that his
father had tol l him this fact, and
that it had come down for a number
of years. But little attention was
paid to bis assertion^, but now that
this peculiar mound has been dis
covered, everv ono believes that a
treasure is hidden beneath it. Mr.
Jucksou believes .there is something
strange about it, and intends to dig
uud remove the rooks until earth is
struck or he finds some other treas-
uro.—Greensb'ro Home Journal
One of tho First Credentials of Chris
tian Discipleship.
Among the many injunctions giv
en by Peter to regulate the conduct
of believers, there is the important
charge to “be courteous.” It
is not unlikely thut bis own impul
sive nature had brought him many
times to feel his failure in regard to
ibis Christian grace, and impress
ed with the necessity of constant
self-restraint l>o‘jWas-to couusi-1 bis
brethren carefully to guard against
all rudonesB in their intercourse
with one another. Borne one has
said : “A Christian shoald at all
times be patient, geutle, affable and
lender the feelings of others. He
can not be hasty in speech, or for-
biddiug In manner, or intemperate
in judgment, without wounding the
the cause of the Savior. Like Him,
while hating sin he should love ein-
uers, und should seek to win them
to holiness of life by tho exercise of
those gentle bnt inesistible graces
ud viilut'H winch adorned the walk
ud conversation of Llim'whodid no
sin, neither was guile found in His
mouth.’ ” To be liko Christ in
thisfregard is au aim worthy of the
ambition of all who profess to be
