Tho North Carolina Stnto election
coiih'S ofl' to-day.
Acrording to figures printed in the
Ootigt'oesioiial Globe it takes $132,800
to run the White House, under the
Administration of Gen Grant.
A mee ting composed of about one
hundred and fifty persona assembled
in Baltimore on Thursday last in the
, t . Cite rest of tho so-called new party
moveittcnt.-..
Resolutions were adopted expressing
their grievance at the late proceedings
of what they term tho “Pupal Catho
lic Party,” and are in duty bound to
crush that party and church and as a
hand of brothers will unite to defend
tho rights of all citizens against the
usurpations of the church.

Tho following extracts from Gen.
Sargeii’sf 4th of J uly sj>eech at Bos
ton, and the accompanying comments
from the Richmond Enquirer, tell of
•progress in-the march of imperialism
which ;*ho public uro not generally ad
vised. It is well enough to take cog
nizance of the acts and doings of Con
tentions, looking to tho planning of
“now departures.” It i% well
enough to view and keep pace with
"the acts' and doings of the Joint High
Commission, but the issues involved
in these will have passed away, ere the
real secrets of mischief-making pow
ers are brought to light and fully de
veloped. The rising generation may
livo.to.see the day when tho struggle
for supremacy in point of power will
not Lb Letweon section or races, but
between the political world under the
garb of some religious crcod :
• Many perrons are incredulous when
they hear it charged that tho Repub
lican party cherishes a purpose ol con
verting our Government into a sert of
-Pen ocratic Imperialism—a combina
tion similiar to the Ctcsarism and uui
vertal suffrage of the lute French Em
pire. There are, however, many
bigns that indicate such to be tho as
pirations and aims of the moro advan
ced minds in that political organiza
tion. Having-long ago become utter
ly insensible to the idea of the auton
omy or sovereignty ol the States hav
ing indeed bemi taught to regard the
States as only so many Shires in the
Consolidated - Common wealth of the
National Uiroit —the next step is to
look with equal indifference on the
rights of the individual- Hr. Iloar,
of Jlossachusoots, has a bill pending
in the House of Eepresentati 'CP, the
object of which was indorsed by John
VV Forney, proposing to give the
United States Government the control
of the common school system of the
country. Senator Wilson, of the same
Stuto, advocated tho scheme in th a At
lantic Monthly. There is also a strong
disposition to turn the railroads of the
country over to the Government. • Al
ready Congress is grantiug charters in
direct -opposition to the express will of
Stateß through which the lines char
tered are to pass.
We have been struck with somo re
marks made on the past Fourth day of
July in the Music Hall, Boston, by the
orator of tho day, Gen. Horace Bin
ney Saigent. . His speech is a mix-,
ure of Imperialism and Communism.
1 lis model seems to be Rrussia, leuvcn
fd by tho I’aris Cornmuno. Let us
introduce him to our readers :
“American as I am in every fibre ol
my heart, I find the socret of national
power in another land than my own.
If I should ask tho questions whore
purity of life, frugal simplicity of hab
its, intellectual culture, patriotic fire,
and all male virtues predominate;
where tiro most affectionate domestic
tics combine tho larger, grander love
for fatherland;, where tho interests of
armed millions are welded into the
mighty wedge of one iron will; where
we hear that majestic tread of hu
manity, with a great purpose before it
and a great nation behind it—the vioco
ot even an American Assembly would
correctly reply. And why do we find
this simple virtue, this earnest Repub
lican enemy under tlio shadow ot the
Prussian throne ? Compulsory legisla
tion, based on a sc-h< me of national
greatness, devised long ago, has made
the Prussiun a dutiful citizen. The
absence of such legislation here, under
our false theories of the consent of the
governed, of the sanctity of an enligh
tened American e>«.~tor, and that liber
ty requires a weak executive expres
sion of an armed nation’s will, has de
graded American jKjlities and office so
low that, except in moments of peril,
able and honest men who would serve
the oadsefent I-u:d of Hosts, will have
nothing to do with public affairs.”
It is very easy to see where this
will lead to. Genearl Saigont wants
“a scheme of. tiah'onol greatness ” -Ho
wants compulsory military service,
sompulsory education, compulsory vo
ting. He' is tired of the “false theory
of the consent to be governed.” He
wants a minister like Bismarck, and a
ruler like Fredrick the Great. The
State is to be supreme —and the .Uni
ted States is to bo- the State. This
State is to take charge ot the National
educatun. The school-master's are to
be appointed in Washington—-as a re
ward, no doubt, for * services to .the
Union”—like Bowen. There is to be
but one spoiling Book in the land
“Iluil Columbia !” is to be sung evory
SuLLath morning, with one consent,
in the Nationul Sunday School. Why
not Sunday Schools? For already wo
hear talk about “reengnizeing God”
in the Constitution. And Mr. Lincoln
of old “ran the churches !” Mr. Har
lan’s fiiond. Dr. Newman, is already
appealing by circular to the Metho
dist to send him to the Senate becauso
“he attends the Methodist Church.”
Religion at the North, to u large ex
tent, has already goue into business
with polities. It is not at all fanciful
to suppose that the Republican party
in ten or twelve years, shall lie advo
cating a union between Church and
State. Delighted with the triumph
achieved hy the North over the South
by the agency of the Federal Govern
ment, they consider the strong ann of
the “Government” now as a panacea
for eveiy evil. When they have tram
pled tho States well unaor foot, and
pounded the South into a patriotic
frame, and gotton possession of the ed
ucational system of tho country, the
next step w ill be tho faith of tho poo-
Clo. They will force the Jews to ac
r.owledgo Paul; they will require the
Roman Catholics to abjure the Virgin
tlioy will compel the Chinaman to des
troy his idols ; thoy will stop the choirs
in the Episcopal churches. What
this creed will ho a struggle between
Methodism and Unitarini ism. It w ill
bo either Wesley or Chauning. Wo
wonder what the Baptists will do?
They are a stiff-necked poople, and
liko to have a say of their own.
Mr.‘ Sargent wants compulsory vo
ting. Already tho Enforcement acts
give the Federal Government the pow
er to control the elections injtho States
when it has the additional powers of
compulsory service in tho army and
compulsory education, wo shall have
our plebiscites in as successful operation
as they used to bo under poor I-ouis
Napoloon.

Wilmim-ton, N C-, July 29. — John
F. Pickerell, a New York broker,
brought here on a charge ot fraud by
the officers of tho Wilmington, Char

puny, was committed to jail to-day in
default of $300,000 bail.
A bloody riot oteured at Goldsboro’
to-«?ay- About five thousand negroes
arrived there from Nowbern and the
lower counties on an excursion train,
chartered by the Republican Executive
Si.-<te Committee, to attend a mass
meeting at whicL Congressman Thom
as, ex-Senator Abboit, Marcus Erwin
and li. C. Badger were to be the speak
ers. There were very few wllito poo
plo in town, and many of the negroes
came intoxicated. The police arreated
one turbulent negro, and while on the
way to the guard house with this pris
oner, the negroes rallied and rescued
him. The colored police fired at the
prisoner, who was recaptured and tak
en by the police to the Exchange Ho
tel. About one thousand of tho negro
mob, with clubs and pistols, ralliod to
tho hotel and attempted another res
cuo. Tho riot was commenced by ne
groes throwing bricks at tho police and
using clubs, when a cross-firing began
between thd police and mob. The
white citizens /orebore, but are now
armed for the emergency. There is
great excitement. Ab'-*ut thirty or
more shots were fired. Three or more
whites were hurt, one negro killed,
one colored policeman killed und tWO
wounded.
A committee of citizens, appointed
by Mayor Robinson, waited on the
Republican leaders and Mr. Staiiloy,
President of the A. and N. C. Rail
road, and requested that the trains and
negroes be carried away, to which
Stanley replied that he would not car
ry them away until he was ready.
When told ho tin 1 Thomas would be
held responsible for tho disturbance,
lie replied: “Hold us responsible and
bo d-d.”

Wmhixotox, July 27.—Gen. John
B. Gordon was examined before the
Ku-Klux Committee to-day. His tes
timony was generally corroborative of
that of other Conservative witnesses.
He knew of no Ku-Klus as described
iu the papeis. He had been invited
by some of the best people iu the
(State to join an organization, tho ob
ject of w hich was purely that of self
protection. They used no disguises.
Under the lead of bad whites risings
of the negroes were apprehended,
which, without some organization on
the part of the whites, might be dis
astrous. The organization alluded to
was not political. It was never used
for political purposes. The negroes
did not essentially sympathize with
the Republican party. They bad an
equal interest with tho whites in good
government. Alienation on tho part
of the people of the South against the
Government had been increased since
the war by Radical measures, which
they regarded as great wrongs, as well
a» by miiiiary arrests without warrant
or charges, und tho trial and impris
onment of innocent men. He did not
feel that he or any of the Southern
pooplo lia-i committed treason.
Tnv: Fuf.mti Wau Indfmnity—Ccn
iocs Details.--The German Corres
pondence gives the following curious
particulars with respect to the pay
ment by France of the war Indemnity:
The following particulars with res
pect to tho payment of the war indem
nity may not be without interest for
our renders. Germany is to pay for
the bags in which tho money is to bo
sent, at tho rate of two sous per bag ;
thus, when the first instalment has
been paid, she will have to return
somo fifty thousand francs. The house
of Rotchscliilds has undertaken the
payment of the bills of exchange for
the French Government; they are Jo
bo made payable in ready money, and
without loss, at not moro than two
month’s date. Thisjbusiness will be
done at London between Rotchscliilds
and the German Consul. The latter
will also receive the sums which
France pays in English bank notes.
The silver and other foreign but not
French notes, will be sent direct from
Paris to Berlin by rail. France bears
the expense of transport as far as the
frontier. The sum will at once be di
vided between the seperate States as
60on as tho amount required to cover
North German war loan has been set
aside. It will of course be impossible
to count the money, as this would oc
cupy the whole time of all the treas
ury officials down to the end of next
December. Tho bags and chests will
therefore be eountod, one or two open
ed and counted through, and the rest
woighed. As it is necessary to accept
the sums sent in confidence that their
declared value is correct, the wooden
ehosts will also bo retained nnd paid
for by the Germans. It is probable
that the French will paya part of tho
amount in gold and silver bars instoad
of coined money, which would greatly
facilitate the business of receiving the
indemnity.
England’! Slaves.
During the days of negro slavery
in the Southern States, England had
a great deal to say on the subject, be
stowed much pity, and extended a
vast amount ot sympathy upon the
poor negro. An English Abolitionist,
Thompson, or Thompkins, came over
to this country, and traveled through
the north, endeavoring to excite all
the bitter feeling possible toward the
South. We have repeatedly read of
treatment meted out to her factory
operatives; of the hardships of her
miners, etc. Still her slavery is kept
up, and somo of its bad features are
being brought bofore the public.
Lord Shaftesbury has recently brought
bofore Parliament the condition of the
children employed in English brick
yards, and proposes that the protec
tion of the Factory Acts be extended
pvor them. According to these acts
no child under thirteen years may be
employed for jnore than six and a half
hours a day, anu Do pne under eigh
teen years, cor any wbr i an, may be
employed for more than twelr? Uours
a day. Hitherto the brick yards have
not been under the Factory Acts.
Facts brought out, are that 30,000
children, varying in age from three
and a half to seventeen, are engaged
in toil for fourteen and sixteen hours
a day, carrying on their heads lumps
of clay weighing 40 pounds from tho
clay heap to where the bricks are
made. Jjord Shaftesbury mentioned,
atni'ng other cases, a child eight years
old wi'° carried forty-three pounds
weight of i'lay on his head an aver
age distance of fifteen miles daily,
and worked seventy-three hours a
week. One of the inspectors of fac
tories says, that a child fen years old
will be required to remove three and
a half tons of clay a distanco of for
ty yards daily, traversing fourteen
miles in the course of his or her task.
Lord Shaftesbury described the poor
creatures, from personal observation,
as almost transformed into lumps of
clay, tottering about, half naked un
der their burdens, and compelled to
enter hot places.
But we cannot devote more space to

The sufferings are such that the ceme
teries are guarded to keep the starving
people from robbing graves of their
inmates for lood.

LeVerl Female College, Tnl
boflon, Georgia.
We, the Visiting Committee to Le-
Vertr Female College, having attended
the examination exercises of the Col
lege, and thoroughly investigated all
the appointments of interest thereof,
beg leave to submit tho folio sing re
port :
For the scholustic yoar just closing,
there have been in attendance one
hundred pupils ; sixty in the College j
classes, and forty in the Academic De
partment. Os this number ten will
graduate at this Commencement occa
sion, of whom the Faculty, Trustees,
Patrons, and Alumni, of tho College
may feel proud.
The examination has beon con
ducted with no effort at an exhibition
of scholarship above wluit has been
uctually attained, and with tho utter
absence of any purpose to impose up
on tho patrons ami committee a false
impression of the elfieioncy of tho
Faculty, or proficiency of tlio pupils.
And it is no small compliment to the J
Board of Instruction, and those who
have been under their tuition, that, \
undor such an impartial and search
ing there was a general
promptness and accuracy in tho reci
tations, demonstrating great fidelity on
the part of tho former, and close ap
plication and thorough scholarship ou
the part of the lutter. We are satis
fied that no literary institution in the
land can boast more capable, honest
and succossful educators than l’resi-;
dont Moore and Professor Manget, of
LeYert.
In examining the curriculum wo
find that it is fully up to the highest
standard in uso in similar institutions
of learning throughout the country. |
The course is complete, and tho text
books are by the most approved au
thors.
And we do not liositate to affirm
that a foundation laid in a thorough
knowledge of tlioeo texts must be, in
tho case of every young lady who pos
sessing the capacity, and is ambitious
to excel in literary pursuits, a clear
prophecy of success.
The examination in the Academic
Department was highly interesting
and satisfacto'y, and reflected great
credit upon tho principal, Miss Jose
pbino B. Jackson. Miss Jackson is
also preceptress of the Ornamental
Department, and certainly possessses
rare qualifications for tho position.
Many of the specimens of drawing
and painting by her pupils are of a
very high order in respect to taste and
finish.
The Music Department, under the
management of Miss Sallie B. Dough
erty, whoso acknowledged ability aud
established reputation have been fully
confirmed by the performances of the
young ladies who have been under
her tuition, presents superior advan
tages to those who desire to attain ex
cellence in this art, and we feel that
we risk nothing when we heartily en
dorse for those who complete their ed
ucation in this branch at LeYert.
We have been highly delighted
with tho performances in calisthenics,
which the most of us have occasional
ly witnessed, arid are gratified to know
that it has been made a permanent
feature in the regular exercises of the
college. Without more physical ex
ertion than young ladies are likely to
make under tho regulations necessary
to good disciplinn in a Female College
it seems to our minds indispensable,
not only to a healthy development of
the physical frame, but to the strength
and activity of the mental faculties,
that some system of calisthenics should
be practiced. The benefits arising
from the system in uso at this college
must bo patent to the most careless
observer, of the fresh and healthy ap
pearance and bouyant spirit of the
pupils.
The Chemical and Philosophical
Apparatus, though of a superior qual
ity as to workmanship and finish, is
not adequate to tho demands of the
college, and ought to receive at once,
such additions ns ate necessary to
completeness. We also recommend,
as highly important to architectural
finish and greatly advantageous to ed
ucational ends, tho addition of two
rooms, to be made by raising the wings
to the same height of the main build
ing. These improvements in the
building and additions to the appara
tus would involve some outlay of mon
ey ; but in comparison with the ad
vantages gained thereby to the prac
tical objects to the college, the outlay
is not worthy of a tnto'ght
We cannot, without a worn of com
mendation, pass by the fact that the
moral and religious education of the
pupils receive tho constant and pray
erful attention of tho President and
Faculty. A weekly meeting is held in
the college on Thursday afternoon, in
which the matter of personal religion
is urged upon their attention, and
oarnest prayer made for their convic
tion, and in which, numbers of them
have Leon brought to a saving knowl
edge of Christ. Many of tho pupils
have thus been brought into the
church, and re,urn to their homes to
i'.ake their placet in the ranks of Chris
tian fellowship aid labor.
In conclusion, taking into account
the healthfulness of location, the ex
alted social, moral and religious char
acter of society, tho cheapness of
board in the best of families, with the
qualifications and fidelity of Presi
dent Moore and his associate educa
tors, we can see no reason why every
parent and guardian, in this section of
the State, and especially those of Meth
od istic preferences and faith, should
not educate their daughters and wards
at Ix)Vert. And now, in tho namo of
the Faculty, Board of Trustees, and
the South Georgia Conference, whose
property the College now is, we be
speak for it a liberal and increasing
patronage.

The Crater of Veoaviui on u
■fender.
I spent a night with some friends
on the top of Vessuvius, freezing on
one side and bruikug on the other.
We kept ourselves awake by the
amusement of dodging tho falling
stones. About once in ten minutes
the old mountain gave a shiver, then
n burst, liko forty thousand mufllod
cannon, if ever there was such ft
thing. At each burst, a cloud of
black smoke in the shape of an in
vei.ed haystack, and about thirteen
times the size of the Galt House, was
driven into the air, followed by a mass
of livid flame that lighted tho coun
try for leagues around. Then, boys,
look out for stones. Millions ol tons
are thrown hundreds of feet into the
nir, most of them falling back into
the crater, but many, varying in size
from a pigeon’s egg to a tobacco hogs
head, land outside, and you must
dodge—generally easy enough, as
they are of a white heat and show as
plain rocket stars. They tumble
down the steep cone, hissing and
steaming in tho snow, the big ones
breaking into fragments and flying
like ft bursting shell. Now, boys, is
the time, ten minutes interval. We
rush up to the very edge of tho abyss
and look down to see further particu
lars “Dante’s Inferno”—but you
spoil your boots ; I did. You singe
your mustache; I did ; and you wish
you was safe out of it; I did.
You turn away sneezing as if you
had accidentally ignited a box of loco
focus under your nose ; for a moment
all is dark ; and then tho long twink
ling rows of gas lamps in the streets
of Naples soetn to spring out of the
ground under your feet, though miles
away ; then you see the lights in the
little towns about the buse of the
mountains in all save one, and that
one the largest. Pompeii—with its
great old temple, magnificent theatres
close built streets, and vast arena, is
dark; the grim skeletons lying in
their ashen beds alone keep vigil
there; their eyeless sockets need no
light. —Letter to Courier-Journal.
The Declaration of Independence.
—Before the war was instignated to
subjugate the South and put under
ban the doctrine of State Rights, it
was a common custom for nearly every
newspaper in the country to publish
the Declaration of Independence on,
or just preceding, the 4th of July. As
an evidence of the decline of that all
pervading spirit of freedom that came
down from the Fathers of the Repub
lic and warmed up a blaze of patriotic
outburst every 4th of July, we need
only state that iu all our exchanges
we found but one this yoar that ad
hered to tho old custom of publishing
the of Independence
Why is this so ? Because all men
more or less feel that the war brought
about a state of affairs and a state of
feeling that men are ashamed to hear
the Declaration of Independence or
even look at it. We all leal outraged
in feeling, when wo read it and then
reflect upon the doings of tho past ten
years ! It is out of place here now.
Few would read it if it were laid upon
their tables free. They would rather
pay for a newspaper that contained,
under startling heading, a ukase from
the omperor of Russia suppressing the
freedom of the press or banishing pat
riots to Siboria. — Seling Grove (Pa.)

Mr. Billups made (his reply to him :
“I cannot support that man or any
