Tri-Weekly News and Herald.
MONDAY MORNING. JUNE 17. 18«7.
Person al.— Lieutenant-General Hardee
and his lady were iu Tarboro, N. C., on the
12th inst., in good health.
A private letter from New Orleans states
that a large amount of real estate will change
hands there as soon as the bankrupt act goes
into efleet. It is said that Jacob Barker will
be one of the first citizens to avail himself
of this law.
An ludiau passing up the streets of Nat
chez, a few days since, was asked the rela
tive position of white man, negro and
Indian. Giving a usual “Ugh!” he said:
“ ’Fore the war, fust cum white man, den
iujin, den dog, den nigger; now, cum nig
ger, den dog, den injin, and white man
last.”
Gen. R. E. Lee.—A Northwestern journal
urges the nomination of Gen. Lee for the
Presidency of the United States. We agree
with the Charleston Mercury that such a
movement is unwise in the extreme. Gen.
Lee does not desire political advancement,
and would not, even if all his disabilities
were removed, consent to become a can
didate for any political office.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. —We are grati
fied to be able to state on reliable authority,
says the Atlanta New Era, that General J. E.
Johnston has been appointed President of
the Charleston, Memphis and Topeka Rail
way, via Atlanta and Decatur, direct. Maj
James S. Williams has been appointed Chief-
Engineer. This is an important link con
necting Atlanta with the Great Union Pa
cific Railway at Topeka, Kansas.
A Disgusted Freedman. —John Killings
wortli, one of the colored delegates to.the late
Republican State Convention at Montgomery,
Ala , called, on his return home, on the edi
tors of the Greenville Advocate, and told
them that, after his experience with the
Radicals, “he is sound on the wisdom of the
policy of sticking to his good Southern
friends, and shunning on all occasions the
deception practiced upon his race by the
scum of the North. ”
More of Mr. Pollard. — E. A. Pollard,
(the “Lost Cause” Pollard, not the Pistol
pollard,) has a suit pending in Richmond
for the recovery of some property he owued
in Washington before the war, which was
bought by Pollard’s father-in-law, or brother
in-law, James, under the confiscation act.
Pollard sets up that he married Miss James
under the assurances that the Jamesses
were strictly disloyal, and put his affairs iu
the North in the keeping' of the male
James. In point of fact, however, the
Jamesses were strictly loyal, and the male
James loyally instituted proceedings against
Pollard’s property, and bought it in for
$27, whereas its value was two or three
thou«aud, and on being applied to by Pol
lard, loyally refused to surrender the same.
Hence this suit. •
Coming Down.— The aspiriug Jack Hamil
ton, of Texas, ci-devant Congressman, Briga
diei General, Governor, and traveling politi
cal mountebank, has been appointed a Re
gister in Bankruptcy for the State of Louis
iana. This low-bred scoundrel was a ram
pant secessionist at the commencement of
the war, and solicited money to raise a le
gion for the Confederate service. Failing in
this, and finding that the cause he had es
poused would not succeed, he sold his slaves,
deserted his wife, and fled to the Federal ar
my ; and, as a reward for his treachery, so
licited and obtained the appointment of mil
itary Governor over the people of Texas.
Hiß brutal conduct in that capacity i8 well
known to the country.
The Tide of Radicalism Ebbing at the
North. — Indications are multiplying every
day that the Northern people are becoming
intensely disgusted with Radicalism. Many
of the Radical journals are sensible of the
reaction, and are shaping their course ac
cordingly. Among them is the New York
Times, which is now exposing the unconsti
tulionality of the recent recon.-truction acts
ot Congress. It asks, where in the Consti
tution docs anybody “find authority for Con
gress to pass a law excluding certain States
from representation until they pass laws or
adopt Constitutions such as Congress may
prescribe; or to subject the civil functiona
ries ot a State to the paramount authority of
a military commander; or to decree univer
sal negro suffrage in the Southern States as
the condition of restoration ? We can find
no such authority, and never could; nor have
we ever been fortunate enough to fiud one
who could point it out."
The Mobile Case.— The ex-officials of
Mobile learn that the President will do no
thing with their application to be restored to
position until the Attorney General decides
on the power of military commanders to re
move civil officials. It is stated that the At
torney General is actually prepared to give
au opinion that the commanding generals
have no right lo remove any civil officers ot
the States in their several districts, but for
certain reasons, not given, bis opinion will
not appear in print. It has been suggested
that the President has suffered these freaks
of military power to prevail without rebuke,
for the reason that he expected that the
sense of the cowetry would revolt at them,
and that he and Congress would be called
upon by public opinion to arrest and redress
the whole proceedings. It cannot be said,
however, that there has been any maniles
taiion or public feeling on the subject—mine
that would arm him lor a conflict with Con
gress.
Another Drawback. -‘-The Marion (S. C.)
Crescent very sensibly remarks that our
planters and farmers now feel severely the
want of corn and provender to feed the work
animals, and argues accordingly that the
evil will never be remedied until, as far as
possible, all breadstuffs, tools, horses, mules
and bacon, are raised at home. At present,
says the Crescent, the balance of trade is
against us, and other sections of the coun
try grow rich at our expense. It is then;
recommended that the planters raise less cot
ton and more plantation material ; that they
encourage the settlement of mechanics and
industrious immigrants, and be willing to
“divide large plantations into small farms,
and sell on liberal terms to all whose inter
ests, hopes aud feelings are identical with
ours.” These are sound views, and we have
frequently pressed them upon the favorable
consideration of our readers.
Jefferson Davis at Toronto —Rbvxkw of
Troops.— Hon. Jefferson Davis left Toronto
for Montreal on the sth, in company with
Captaiu Winder, formerly of the Confede
rate army. Before leaving, a military re
view was made before Mr. Davis. Major
McLean, of the Thirteenth Infantry, hearing
that Mr. Davis was to visit Mr. Boulton,
turned out the men with arms, and passed
them before Mr. Boulton’s door, at which
Mr. Davis was standing. Mr. Davis at
tended the wedding of Mr. Hyde here, at
the request of the bride, a Miss Benson, and
after the ceremony the organ struck up
“Maryland, my Maryland,” as Mr. Davis
was going out of the church, (St. James,)
where a large crowd collected outside and
cheered lustily. Mr. Davis directly moved
on, merely bowing his head.
A Slander Refuted.
We have been informed that a few persons
in this city have been industriously circulat
ing the slander that we denounce all who
were not in the rebellion or sympathized with
it. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Our readers will hear us witness that we
have not, s'mee the day of the re-eslablish
meut of this paper, indulged in any insulting,
threatening or acrimonious words of comment
against those known as Union men. Our
object haß been to efface the marks of the
war, and soothe embittered feelings on both
sides. We have labored to do away with
the exasperations and enmities engendered
by the war, and to reconcile opposing and
conflicting prejudices, with a view to the re
storation of the harmony and good feeling
which existed in the better days of the
Republic. We have felt that the country
could not resume its proper condition so
long as ill-feeling existed between the sec
tions, and we have, therefore, abstained from
remarks calculated to keep alive the ani
mosities already too bitter and intolerant,
aud which were seriously interfering with
both the social and business relations of the
people.
We have attacked the Congressional Radi
cals, and their followers, who, so far from
being the friends of the Union, are its worst
enemies, and are doing all in their power to
prevent the restoration of the Southern
States. But no others have we assailed. If
there are any in this community, and we
know there are, who sympathize with the
Radicals and their iniquitous schemes of
oppression, we do not hesitate to say that
they have come within the range of our
condemnation, and have received, as they
merited, our unqualified oeusure. But we
have not, as our opponents have the un
scrupulous audacity to charge, made war
upon those who merely differed with us, or
Upon those who fought the south in
i.be war. Our aim has been to modify
harsh judgments, calm excited feeling,
reconcile conflicting views, and as far as pos
sible to cover up and conceal the exasperated
memories of.the last six years. Those who
misrepresent us, on the contrary, have
sought to keep the issues of the war perma
nently before the public. Their constant
references to disloyalists, to rebels aud rebel
sympathisers, have been prompted solely by
the reckless determination to make political
capital out of the prejudices they hope there
by to excite, and to compass, if possible, the
proscription of the men who had surren
dered at the conclusion of their unfortunate
struggle in good faith, and accepted the am
nesty offered them by the United Slates. No
one can pretend that they have not been
true to their pledges, or that they have not
honorably observed their paroles. In every
part of our noble State they are laboring in
dustriously and earnestly for the restoration
of their fortunes, impaired, if not totally de
stroyed, by the operations of the war. They
are creating no disturbance, are contem
plating no hostile movements, are taking but
little interest in politics, and yet, notwith
standing their truly loyal and patriotic de
portment, unprincipled demagogues strug
gling for offices and power, insist upon hold
ing them up as scarecrows to frighten the
people into the support of their selfish and
unpatriotic schemes.
There is no man, with a thimble full of
brains, who believes that the ex-Confederates
entertain a single design against the peace
and quiet of the country, or against those
whom they so recently encountered amid the
smoke and noise of battle. Every body un
derstands, and none better than those Radi
cals in our midst who boast of their connec
tion with the party which seeks our ruin, that
these men recognize the fact that they were
defeated, and that they have not the means,
if they had the disposition, to renew the con
flict, and that it would be the very insanity
of folly for them to make another attempt.
They acquiesce in the result, «nd only seek
to be let alone, and be permitted to contri
bute the proceeds of their industry to the gen
eral welfare and the national prosperity.
Under these circustances, justice to
our people, as well as lo the well
being of society, demands that they
shall no longer be taunted with imputed
offences which have been forgotten, or
visited with reproaches, which can only
annoy without producing aDy beneficial re
sults.
But the men who are engaged in this nefa
rious business have little regard for the pub
lic welfare, or the pacification of the coun
try, if by playiDg the Radical they can ad
vance their personal interests. These are of
more importance to them than all other con
siderations, and a partisan triumph possesses
more value in their eyes than the restoration
of the Union.
Gen. Grant aiut the Presidency.
[From the Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal.l
The announcement that Gen. Grant has
said he will not decline a nomination for the
Presidency, if tendered him by the party
which sustained the Government during the
war, has made a decided fluttering. And, as
was to have been expected, it brings down
upon him the condemnation of those who
can see no patriotism and no wisdom, ex
cept in a supprt of the most ultra measures
of revenge towards the South.
A correspondent of the New York Tri
bune, writing from Washington, wonders
whether Grant will not go to Tennessee to
defeat Brownlow, as he went to Maryland
lasi fall to elect Swann. When Geu. Grant
went to Maryland he was acting as a military
man uuder the orders of his commander-in
chief, and instead of usiog the slightest in
fluence upon the election, hig efforts were
confined entirely to the prevention of a civil
outbreak, which seemed almost certain to
result from the conflicts between the
Governor and the Baltimore Commis
sioners.
The New York Independent, organ of the
Custom-house, denounces the idea that
Grant can be the candidate of the Republican
party. It considers bis politics altogether
too “diluted,” and prefers some “out
spoken and decided man," liko old Ben.
Wade, of Ohio.
The magnificent services of Grant for the
nation, his long career of military successes,
his uniform and uuwavering patriotism,
amount to nothing with these apostles of
hatred, so long as he is supposed not to fa
vor “confiscation and punishment.” If the
political sentiments of General Grant are
“diluted,” so are those of the great ma
jority of Northern Republicans. He is in
favor of the most vigorous and uncompro
mising eniorcement of the military law. He
insisted upon the selection of department
commanders who would carry out the law
to the letter. He does not conceal his in
dorsement of the principle of manhood suf
frage. Upon the great leading ideas of the
day he is in perfect sympathy with the Re
publican party, and stands on the declared
platform.
That he does not go out of his way to
make political harangues or advertise his
differences of opinion with the President, is
true. And it would be manifestly improper
and inconsistent with his position as mili
tary head of the Administration for him to
do so.
The politicians who are seeking to com
mit the Republican party to new ideas, that
have no part in its declared creed, may feel
no sympathy with the wise moderation of
General Grant; but the soldiers who fought
and won glory under him, and the people
whose institutions he did so much to save,
will not fear to trust either his patriotism or
his judgment. The time has not yet come
to predict with any degree of certainty who
will be the next candidate for the Presidency;
but if that choice shall fall upon Gen. Grant,
no lover of his country will have reason to
regret the selection.
Noble Word* of General Moltke.
Tine following noble words were spot by
General Moltke,—the author of the pi .H of
camDaiga which resulted so disastrously to
the Austrians in the late war, —to a newspa
per correspondent, who was about to take
his leave after a long and. interesting conver
sation:
“Go,” said the General, finally, with a pe
culiar smile. “ 1 shall try to assist you, and
as your pen will Bpeak to many, many thou
sands, tell them that the last words of the
old Chief of Staff of the Prussian .Army
were as follows : “Let us hope that the re
sults of this unparalleled, short and suc
cessful campaign may bring about agloriouß
future for Germany and the growing gene
ration. In this severe ordeal the King has
weighed his people, and the people have
weighed their King. What a feeling to be
a Prussian to-day—from the King to the
least of his subjects. And the young men,
in whom the Prussian army must place its
confidence in future struggles, have likewise
been weighed; and so have the patriot
ism of the citizens, and the devotedness of
the whole nation. Prussia knows herself
now! That is the greatest result of the war.
Germany may say now that she really is Ger
many. She may confidently look into the
future, for she has seen that the Prussian
eagle, on the day of Koniggratz, soared as
victoriously, as energetically, as resistlessly,
as at Fehrbellin, Leuthen and Waterloo.”
That insatiable man Forney, of the Wash
ington “Chronicle,” not satisfied with having
abused and villified everybody and every
thing in the South for the past twenty years,
has carried his venom with him to Europe,
and spits it out in’the eolutnns of the Lon
don “Morning Star," on the head of Jeffer
son Davis. He says :
“Slavery was, in Mr. Davis’ eyes, the one
grand institution to be cherished and main
tained at the expense of all others. Loyalty,
obedience, patriotism, were only to be claftn
ed at the hands of the Southerners so long
as the Southerners were allowed to buy and
to sell, to own and to flog slaves. The mo
ment this right seemed imperilled, Jeffer9ou
Davis began to plot against the Constitution
of his country.
“The treachery with which Mr. Davis and
his accomplices made use of tbe laws and
institutions of tbe United States to prepare
and arm a rebellion intended to overthrow
them, is one of the most singular and revolt
ing features in the history of the Southern
Confederation. Had there been a Cicero in
tbe American Senate in 1860 he might have
branded tbe Cataline of tbe conspiracy at
that moment.”
After venting an immense amount of bil
lingsgate on Mr. Davis and the Southern
people, he winds up by saying :
“An ignoble peculiarity of nearly all
Davis'manifestoes wag his virulent denun
ciation and coarse scorn of his enemies.
Even civil war became more odious in his
hands. He proclaimed the Northerners to
be a ‘people devoid of every mark of civ
ilization,' ‘disturbers of the peace of the
world;’ ‘miscreants;’ ‘dirty Federal in
vaders;’ wretches whose atrocious cruelties
have stamped infamy on their Government;
‘whipped spaniels,’ aud so forth. If brag
and brutal abuse could have won success for
the Southern Confederacy, Uefferson Davis
would now be the conquering hero of the
South.”

For Instance, if the annual premium for the insur
ance of a dwelling is S2O, the premium for a perma
nent Policy would be S2OO, and if the Policy is can
celled after being in force twenty, fifty, or any num
ber of years, $l9O would be returned.
Permanent Policies are nearly fifty per cent cheap
er than usual, the saving will,’.ill less than fifteen
years, amount to the permanent premium; the prop
erty therefore coutiuuea insured thereafter without
farther cost.
By permanent Policies, the risk and trouble of re
newals is avoided, rendering them particularly ad
vantageous to Mortgagees, Executors, and persons
not engaged in business.
Permanent Policies have been in use in Peßcsyl
vanla for more than a century; upwards of two
