Goreraor Thompson.
Mr. Thompson, the Democratic ap?
pointee, is well knowu to oar readers.
It is ni act of sterne ironrage on tire
PresttfeoVs ?art <o appoint ht?, because
he wts nominated to the same place by
Mr. develan*^ sud the Republican
Senators practically refesed to confirm
him fey deliberately abstaining from any
actio? stall. He is a mao io the prime
of ?flfe, witk a good deai of experience
in tire -pub-He service, having beeo Gov?
ernor of his State and assistant secre?
tary <of the treasury. He is, and has
bees Tor many years, profoundly con
. vinced of the wisdom of the civil service
roform law, and of the pressing need
for its enactment, enforcement, and ex
tea?efl application. He is, moreover,
familiar with the reform system, and
^>ught to be able to render good service
Sn the .practical details of the work of
the commission. It is not without
cheerful significance that the Sra te of j
South Carolina should have supplied to I
the civil service comm Issi ort, in Messrs. j
Trenholm and Thompson, two of the j
most efficient promoters of the reform j
system ; it ts an evidence of civic sound- ;
ness io the State that led in the rebel- j
lion, and, before the rebellion, in the i
slavery propaganda. It was of course,
of rae last importance that the Demo?
cratic member of the commission should
represent the reform element in his
party and not the reactionary element
Had the reverse been the case, and had j
there been, also, a weak or a treacber- !
oas Republican placed on the commis- ?
sion, it would have been fatal io any )
hope that this administration would j
even maintain the reform within the I
narrowest limits of technical and for- j
mal requirement's, to say nothing of the j
potsibiiiry cf advancing it.-Aar Yaric |

Disgusted With Politics, j,
WASHINGTON, May ll-The Presi- ? j
dent's rebuff of several negro delega- j j
tiona from the South, notably bis sting- ;.
iog advice to the Alabamians, to re- j
frain from aspiring to ?ead the Republt- ; ?
nan party, has produced in the minds ' j
of the colored people a state of mind ! .
very differennfrom that observed shortly ; {
after the Presidential election. Then ' t
the hatton of victory after four years '
of Democratic administration made the
negroes insolent and the relations : (
between the races anything but arnica- ? (
ble. The presea* feeding is one of i
general irritation. The North Carolina .
negroes, so visitors say, are not only !
migrating to the Southwest, but those j <
whe remain refuse to take any part in ? (
politics. Some are actuated by a desire j
to cast suspicion on the Democrats, as 1 j
if to charge that the latter prevent the i j
colored voter from going to the polls, j
as io La Fayette parish, Louisiana, i
Bat the greater number appear to be ;
thoroughly disgusted wit ii politics.
I bis was notably the case in municipal j,
elections a day or two ago. The j !
negroes at Raleigh said that they i (
much regretted ever having gone solidly j
with the Republican party. They de- '.
dared that they had accomplished I
nothing for themselves and nothing for '
public interests. The negroes are just j j
now restive because they are not recog- j,
nixed by President Harrison as they ! ^
expected to be, while white Republican i (
movements are everywhere smiled upon. \
There are aiso industrial reasons for :
their discontent. Farming interests i
in the South have not prospered at
equal pace with manufactures The
new factories and additional lines of i
transportation have not improved the : J
general mass, but only the special ;
interests served. The villages in the 1
tobacco manufacturing region have !
grown into cities in the last ten or fif- j
teen years. Farther down the Pied- j
?ont country iron and coal have worked j
marvels, but the planting class, except ;
?a the immediate localities where the ! *
"mines are or the bright tobacco is pro- j
?laced, has uot been prosperous W ages
ace comparatively low, because the {
planter is not able to make them higher, j
He is himself dissatisfied, but in most :
instances, owning the soil and not being
able to sell it at remunerative price?,
he holds on, hoping for better thiugs.
His laborer bas not so many ties, and
is breaking away.
Already large numbers of the blacks
who migrated earlier in thc year to
Kansas and Louisiana have returned to s
Virginia and the Carolinas. The im- \
providence of the race is every whit as : c
great now as it was in days when thc ?
master supplied the larder. The negro 1
question proper is the question of what 1
will he do wish himself, aud among <
thoughtful Southerners is deemed cue t
of more importance than the other or
political question of what ?hall be done 1
for him. in the next Congress, beyond 1
doubt, we are going to see the Chandler t
role played by the whole Republican <
party. The policy of taking control of i
Southern elections is just now very : ?
popular in that party, although signs 1
are not wanting that a revoit from it
may be expected sooner or later. This 1
policy will have for its chief of j'cts the '?
reduction of Democratic members in :
Congress and, in some degree, the ?
reconciliation of the neg n?s to the ?
Republican party. It is not expected 1
that the measure wi!l settle what is f
called the Southern question, but it t- 1
the only thing, short of broad politic*. *
too magnanimous for the men in power i
to conceive and set on foot, which will ?
meet the case at all. Thus we snail |
have, in the opinion of ail Democrats . <
and some clear sighted Republicans. ?
a policy inaugurated which obscures the .
true issue of negro self-help, and keeps i
open indefinitely the sectional sore with i I
which the better part of the country 1
has long been disgusted-ATe? York 1

German Confederates.
Senator Hampton Delivers a Patriotic
Oration.
CHARLESTON, May 16 -A ni on um eut
to the dead soldiers' of four German
companies in the Confederate service
was dedicated here in Betheny cemetery
yesterday. The monument was un?
veiled by ten little German girls in j
white, while the German band played a ]
German choral. The dedicating prayer i
was in German, by Pastor Muller, and ?
the dedication address was delivered by
Senator Hampton, in whose famous
legion the German soldiers fought. In
the address the Senator said;
We regard our dead as martyrs, and j
God forbid that any of their living
comrades, their descendants to the
remotest ages, should brand them
traitors. Words, my friends, are not
merely empty sounds ; in the domain of
history they are things potent-factors
not only in shaping events, but in
placing these events in a full light be?
fore the world, and we shouid never
acknowledge that we were rebels or
traitors. That questiou is to be decided
by the verdict of impartial history, and i
that of posterity, and we may well be
satisfied to commit our cause and our
conduct to those august tribunals. Let
me not be understood as discussing the
merits of the great conflict which ar?
rayed one section of the country against
the other : which wrought such wide?
spread devastation, and which cost so
much in treasure surd in the IOFS of so j
many precious lives. The questions
which brought about that unhappy war
bas been settled and he is no true patriot j
who ^ould strive to kiudle the fires of
sectional hate or reopen the wounds
which tbe kind hand of time has healed. !
No higher -duty can inspire the heart of j
every patriot than that which impels
him to devote all his energies of mind
and body to make this country worthy
of the admiration and respect of the i
world, the fit home for all time to come j
if the American free. This duty j
ievolves on us of the South as urgently j
is on any other citizens of this broad |
[and, for whatever may have been the j?
issues which brooght about the civil !
war, we must remember that now all j
the North, South. East and West have j1
but one country and constitution, to j
both of which our allegiance is due.
But while wc of the South recognize j
ibis fact fully, it does not follow that we |
should refuse to do honor to the memory ; {
af our dead comrades. The men who
met as in battle would feel a just con- !
tempt for us were we base enough to j
Forget those who gave their lives for the ?
?ause which they and we believed in our j
inmost hearts to be just and right, j
We ohould indeed be time-serving i
?ravens if we allowed the memory of !
these men, o? Their untimely death, to ;
pass forever from our hearts, or if we ;
should faii to leave enduring monuments j
to them as evidences of our love and j
sur gratitude. We can do nothing to !
show a grateful people's gratitude to ?
yur surviving veterans. Poor, old, i
maimed, broken in heart, as in fortune,
they are forced to fight life's hard bat- ;
iles unaided. We have no overflowing j
:reasury from which to pension the j
brave soldiers who gave their all freely j
:o their State9 All was staked on issue, j
ind all was lost. I have no words of j
;ensure for the liberality of the North |
in granting pensions to her soldiers.
The feeling that prompts this course is ;
aatural. proper and generous, and cn !,
jeeasions my support has been freely j
riven in the Senate to all applications :,
>f this sort made in deserving cases. ;,
Had the conditions of the great civil j
srar been reversed we should have dealt 1
is generously with our disabled veterans j
is the North bas done with hers. But, ':
:he losers in thc great struggle, we j ;
must accept the inevitable results of i
Jefeat. These debar us from proper !
.ecognition of the services of the brave i
defenders of our Lost Cause, but they [
lo not deny to us the right to honor ; !
he memory of our dead, and no more ; i
sacred duty is imposed on us than that ' i
)f keeping green in our hearts and j i
ihose of oar children the memories of i i
hose who fell under the folds of the ! i
?ou:hern Cross. Defeat cannot mar j I
he glory of their deeds, Dor ever ]
letract from their fame, nor time <
)bliterate the love we cherish for them ; i i
md God forbid that it may ever be | ?
?tberwise with us of the South. <
Booms ancT Booming. j1
The South is on a boom. That is to j (
lay, enough of Southern people are j
)rospcrous to warrant us in saying that ! {
:omparatively speaking, the South, as !
t section, is doing well. Aud yet we j

isn't it aboot time for the New York
Herald to let up on the "Solid South"
issue t
Tbe "Solid South'7 was never intend?
ed to elect Presidents, lt seems to
take care of itself, it matters not who is
President aod who ts not.
The Solid Sou h, with its nine hun?
dred thousand square miles and its
twenty-three million people, from Del
aware tc Texas, is a pretty big slice of
the Union, which, as long as it stands
true to itself, no administration eau
afford to disregard or upset.
There are some deceitful figuring put
up by the Herold to show how the
.'Solid South'' idea is hurting the
Democratic party. The figures show?
ing the majorities from 1880 to 1884
and 18S8 are delusively used as we may
have occasion to show hereafter. But
does it occur to the Herald that the
South was just as solid iu 1880 as in
1884 or 18SS ? If it was a stumbling
block in 1S88, whv was it less so in
1884 or 1880 ?
If the purpose of the "Solid South"
involved anything but self protection
against Republican misrule aud aggres?
sion, it would be another matter. But
that is the sum and substance of the
whole thing. The Republicans made a
solid South necessary for the preserva?
tion of the South, and Democrats or
independents who have no stomach for
the solid South can pass on and leave us
just where they found us. Self-preser?
vation is the first law of nature. We
know what we are about better than
any quill-driver of the Herald can tell
us -Columbia Register.

court for Rutherford county, N. C.,
Judge Clarke rendered a decision de
daring null and void the subscription of !
?100,000 in coupon bonds, voted by j
Rutherford county io aid of the
Charleston. Cincinnati and Chicago
railroad. The action was brought by
the plaintiffs on the ground that a ma- :
jority of the voters of the county did j
not sanction the subscription, which

A catfish was caught, but before it could !
