SOLDIER AND CHRISTIAN.

A Mialster in th« Bank* Who WonlA Not Shoot. There is a member of Company I ol the Forty-first Georgia regiment living in this county, says the Heralson, Ga., Banner, who was in every battle fought by his regiment, in every skirmish in which his company engaged in, in •very charge made by his command, and did not fire a gun. He was then, and is now, a minister of the gospel, He did not believe in killing men, and frequenlly charged the enemy with a yell, saw his oomrades fall by his side, and whether routing the Union soldiers or being routed he would not shoot. He was always ready for duty—stood guard, remained at the picket post, and obeyed implicitly every command of his superior officers except to draw cartridges, load his gun and shoot. At New Hope church, on the retreat from Dalton, several rounds of cartridges were issued to the soldiers, and he took one, and a short time afterward he was struck by a spent ball, but not hurt. This remarkable man is a successful farmer and a splendid Bible Christian Ereacher, and is named Zachariah P. lardigree.

What He Would Fight With.

Col. Robert Lewis, representative from Hancock, tells the story of a duel in which he was to act as one oi the principals, says the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. He was then paying devoted attention to a young lady, and had a rival as devoted as himself. The rival grew quarrelsome, and his feelings, of which he possessed as fine an assortment as any duelist that ever stood on the field, were hurt by something that Col. Lewis had said. He sent a “friend” to see his enemy. A card was handed Col. Lewis, which read about as follows: “You have insulted me and I demand satisfaction. You may choose the weapons we shall fight with. Shall it be pistols, shot guns, bowie-knives, or what?” To this card Col. Lewis replied briefly that he would fight him with “what.” “We haven’t fought yet,” said Col. Bob. “I don’t suppose they have yet invented the weapon I wanted to fight with. But every time I see that man in a crowd I can run him away.—we are good friends now—by asking him U he still wants to fight.”

Curing a Hiccough.

Mr. Smithkin had heard that a sure cure for a hiccough was a severe frght One evening, smoking at his fireside after supper, he was taken with a hiccough which continued in spite of all his efforts to check it. Presently he got up suddenly from his chair, and called out in alarm to Mrs. Smithkin: “I’ve lost my watch! I’ve lost: my watch!” “John Smithkin!” said she, "what do you meanP Why, you haint done any suoh a thing. Here’s your watch all right, in your vest pocket.” “Don’t you think I know that?” ■aid Mr. Smithkin. “I was just giving myself a severe fright, you know, te step the hiccoughs!”

•‘A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

THE M’KINLEY BILL SERVES ENGLISH INTERESTS.

Some of the Republio&n papers seem to be very much surprised that the Rt. Hon. Joseph'Chamberlain, of England, should regfcrd the McKinley bill as in the Interest of England, bnt there is no reason why they should be. Mr. Chamberlain has expressed the same sentiments before and he is far from being the only Englishman who entertains thatjview. Of oourse an individual English manufacturer, who has been shipping goods to this country, finds his business injured by an increase of dpty on his wares. Bat a good many Englishmen, looking at the matter, not from the point of view of self-interest, bnt from that of the general commercial intorests of the nation, are more than satisfied to have us continue and re-enforce onr barriers to commerce, whioh keep onr goods in, just as much as they keep foreign goods ont. At the annual dinner of the Cobden Club, in 1881, Mr. Chamberlain said: “For myself, speaking only as an Englishman, I look forward with anxiety, not unmixed with alarm, to the time when onr merchants and mannfaoturere will have to face the free and nnrestxioted competition of the great repoblio of the west, and when the enterprise of its citizens and the unparalleled resources of its soil will no longer be shackled and handicapped by the artificial restrictions whioh have heretofore impeded the full development of its external commerce."

Looking at the question in the same broad, thorough way, quite unlike that of an English shop-keeper, or an American Republican politician, Mr. Chamberlain said very recently in New York: “As an Englishman, I am glad to see the United States adopt the McKinley or any other bill that will serve to maintain the Bulwark of proteotion that has been erected around this country. The high tariffs which the United States has exacted for years have served to inorease England’s trade and enrioh her merchants.— I have repeatedly said in public at home what I now say to you, that England wo’d suffer great loss if the protective system should be abolished in the United States. We have built up an enormous trade with the countries of South Amerioa, with Australia and other countries which we could not hold if free trade were adopted here. You have enormous resources in raw materials, in workmanship and in machinery against whioh England would out a sorry figure if both countries were placed on an equal footing in the race for commercial supremacy. I will not say that Eugiand would be totally vanquished, but she would bo greatly injured in the competition. In a few years tne United States would mb the commercial world beyond tho si adov of a doubt. Those people in England who have expressed themselves in opposition to the measure evidently have not studied the question as they should. They noedto examine America’s resources. As an Englishman, therefore, I hope your policy of proteotion will be kept up indefinitely. Tne higher the tariffs the better will I be satisfied, for i cannot imagine a severer blow to my country than the United States could deal by declaring for free trade.”

Very similar sentiments were expressed in 1882 by Mr. William Itathbone, member of Parliament; Lord Brassey, an extensive traveler and a close observer of industrial affairs; Mr. Daniel Pidgeon, a machinist and manufacturer; Mr. James Thornly, who came to this oountry to study our cotton manufactures as the agent of the Manchester manufacturers; Prof.Cairnes, the political economist, and to go over on to the Continent, the Leipsio Monthly for Textile Industry, two years ago. The Birmingham, England Post, of July 28, 1888, said of the Mills bill: “The main object of the measure is * * * to lessen the cost of the production of American manufacturers, and of course every step in that direction will make the United States a more dangerous competitor of Fngland.” Mr. Daniel Adamson, presidenl of the British Iron and Steel Institute, said: “In fact, owing to the short-sightedness of foreigners imposing high tariffs, we are now oarrying 90 per cent, of tho whole ooean traffic of the world, and if this were continued, in three or four years we should have from 95 to 98 per cent, of the shipping under the British flag." The Birmingham Gazette, a couple of years azo remarked that American competition would never be formidable “until the Republic adopts free imports or Great Britain reverts to protection,” and says: “We cannot afford tojpit onr resources against those of Connecticut and Pennsylvania on equal terms.” And finally, Mr. Gladstone, speaking at Leeds, in 1881, said; “I will say this: That as long as America adheres to the protective system, your commercial primacy is secure. Nothing in the world can wrest it from you while America continues'to fetter her own strong hands and arms, and with these fettered arms is content to compete with you, who are free, in neutral markets/ 1

NEGRO COLONIZING.

THE SCHEME FORMULATED BY D. M’D. LINJ3BEY. Correspondence Given Showing the Interest of Republican Leaders in the Work—Several States to Have Been Cared For. The New York World of last Saturday printed as Washington correspondence a long article, containing correspondence between the parties to the plan, showing forth a scheme having for its object the colonization by negro Republican voters of the States of Indiana, Connecticut and West Virginia. The originator of this idea was Daniel MoD. Lindsey, a Republican of North Caralina, and it is oharged that Senator Quay, as ohairman of the Republican national committee, was ready to aid and abet Lindsey in oarrying out the soheme of vote importing. To quote from the artiole:

The oorrespondenoe whioh follows is a complete narrative in itself. The inoep*io? °A echeme, its approval by Qoay and other Repnblioan leaders, itsindorsement by representatives in Congress whose pohtioul fortunes were to be forwarded by it, are olearly set forth by documentary evidence that can not be rebutted or explained away. The sac similies of a number of the letters presented constitute a highly interesting exhibit. correspondence it appears tqat D. McD. Lindsey began his work as long ago as May 22, when, as he says, he discussed nis scheme with Edward McPherson, of Pennsylvania, sinoe ohosen to be clerk of the House of Representatives. MoPherson referred him to Senator Quay, who immediately indorsed the colonization scheme and referred it, with his approval, to his henchmen, Clarkson and Dudley. Lindsey was thoroughly familiar with the methods that would carry his plans through successfully. His reoord as a colonizer is on® to bo proud of,— When he nndertook this special mission he was secretary of the Southern Emigration oompany. He was a candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket from the First District of North Carolina in 1876, but was defeated. In 1882 he got himself into serious trouble, and wa, accused of taking 200 department clerks from Washington to North Carolina to serve as deputy marshals. This he did under the direotion of J. J, Mott, chairman of the State Executive committee of North Carolina. In 1887 he took 111 negroes to East Orange, N. J., at the time of a looal labor trouble, and was driven out of the town with stones and brick-bates. The same year he took a number to Maryland and located them as laborer*. For one of his deputies in the work he had undertaken, Lindsey selected |J. B. Whitehead, a North Carolinian, whose experience as a colonizer was qnite as thorough as his own. Several years ago Whitehead oarried so many negroes from North Carolina that |he {depleted the labor market, and a committee of seventeen citizens of the State waited upon him and ordered him to leave on penalty of lynching."

Lindsey, in a long letter to Whitehead, speaks of interviews with Edward MoPherson, with Quay, and refers to his correspondence with the latter. Lindsay says in his letter, speaking of Quay: “On the 10th of August I wrote him* calling his attention to what he had tola, or promised, me at Chamberlin’s, and said to nim if it was not convenient to furnish the entire amount promised, to furnish me with enough to arrange the preliminary work. He at once enclosed my letter to Gen. Clarkson, with an endorsement requesting the money to b« furnished me, and on the 17th of August wrote me, saybg: “I have your letter of the 10th; and have forwarded it through Mr. Clarkson, with such an indorsement as you suggest.” “Gen. Clarkson saw Col. Dudley and Dudley said he had no funds in hand belonging to the committee; that he had furnished $l6B of his own funds for the committee, and that wonld have to last a while. I did not like this and so wrote Senator Qu:iy, and in reply to my letter he wrote me, August 29, saying; ‘ln reply to my request that he should give you SI,OOO to commence your work. Col. Dudley informs me that the treasury of the national committee is empty; that he has been compelled to advance $lB6 from his private funds to meet overdrafts. I am peffectly willing to give my time tothe oause, but cannot word to pay the expenses of the committee.*

“1 then thought I would let the matter reet till they could replenish their treasury, but on the Bth of September I received a letter from Quay, saying: ‘Will you have the kindness on receipt of this to place yourself in communication with Mr. Wm. D. Mullin, of Stephenson, Mullin & Co., Bramwell, West. Virginia, where it is probable that two hundred families of your North Carolina emigrants will be received and employed, etc. I expect to be in Washington within two weeks and will then see you.* Letters from Quay to Lindsay are published showing his indorsement of the scheme, and one is as follows: “Dear Sir—l have your letter of the 10th inst., uhd have forwarded it to Mr. Clarkson, with fan indorsement such as you suggest Yours truly, “M. S. QUAY." The following letter from United States Treasurer Huston to Lindsey is printed: “Washington, D. C. May 6, 1889. “Hon. McD. Lindsey: “Dear Sir,—l am in receipt of your note dated May 6. I regret that Mr. Miller could not have given you the time that would have allowed of a full explanation being made of your project. I feel sure that he, like myself would have been satisfied that the proposed work would have enabied us to save Indiana. I myself am heartily in favor of it, and at tbe first opportunity will speak to the President about | it, or will, if opportunity would offer, talk I to Mr. Miller, though I don’t believe he | could be made to feel the same interest in it that I do. He has never taken much interest in practical politics. Of course I could not ask you to remain here in the city until I could learn what we could do with regard to Indiana. Don’t know, in fact, when I will be able to talk with the President about the matter. If you will ' send me your address when you loaye, »•

aoon aa I have talked with the President I will communicate with you. Truly vours, J. N. Huston." wero by Lindsey, Whitehead being the aotive agent hhZVif T ’fi W . h,t ® head attempted To kill himseW, September 26, at Kanawha, when sJondTS OODBlderable and became deTho World prints this paragraph in regard to Quay’s interest in the Lindsey 1 his scheme testifies at onoe to the ingenuity of Quay and his agent, and to the supreme contempt in which Quay holds the lawful and benefioent purposes of the institutions of his oountry. It likewise eiplains in a large measure Quay's aotion in forcing upon his party a postponement of the foroe bill, whioh to many of his former associates and party friends has been the most inexplicable of all his publie performances. To their minds the measure was one which, beoause of its arbitrary and inquisitorial character and the tremendous power and advantage it could give to the party would strike him with great foroe and favor, lint to their unspeakable astonishment andohagrin he actually led in the movement tolay the bill aside and thereby deprive the party of the benefit of the iniquitous measure at tho approaching congressional elections. They labored with him long and earnestly. They even threatened him.— They told him in tho bluntest fashion that the postponement jof the force bill until the next session of Congress at his instance would not only cost him his place at the head of tho nationl oommittoo, but his whole influence with his party besides. He refused to yield an inoh, however, and h * „ ln tho coarse he had taken and sent the force bill over, as he had planned to ao.

INFAMOUS AND DAMNABLE.

The New York World of laßt Saturday prints fourteen fao simile letters from the pens of Matthew Quay, chairman of the national central committee; United Stateß Treasurer James N. Huston; one Daniel MoD. Lindsay, of North Carolina, and one or two other parties of lesser im. portanoe, disclosing a soheme to colonize Indiana, West Virginia and New Jersey with southern nogroeß, with which to secure Republican majorities in 1892. Tho let ters aro authentic. In this connection we print the editorial oomment of the Indianapolis Newß, a Republican paper that supported Harrison for tha presidency. The News says: “I told him that with necessary financial aid I could take 8,000 to 10,000 to .Indiana." So writes Mr. D. McD. Lindsey. He was onoe a Republican candidate for Congress from North Carolina.— The letter in which he says that was written to J. B. Whitehead, another North Carolina Republican who was to engage in the work. The ‘he’ spoken of 1b Senator Quay. The 8,000 or 10,000 spoken of is that many North Carolina negroes whom it was proposed to colonize here. The letter was written last March. It is one of many printed by the New York World, showing that this negro colonization scheme was considered for Indiana, Connecticut and West Virginia. Letters from Quay are also printed, indorsing the scheme, and one from United States Treasurer Huston under date of May ft, 1889, in whioh he says he is?”heartily in favor of it," and that he will "speak to the President about it,” and that he will “speak to the President about it, or to Mr. Mdler" [Attorney General), though he doesn’t think Miller wonld take muoh interest in it, as “he has never taken much interest in practical politics." Mr. E. G. Hayes, of Lawrenceburg, is quoted in one of Lindsey’s letters, and also Dr. J. M. Townsend, who thinks homes could be made in Indiana for eight or ten thousand North Carolina negroes; but Lindsey says that he does not expect to bring more than 5,000, for “our friends" that “6,000 wonld place tho Btate beyond doubt.” “In a letter written last month—September 16—Lindsey says be is going to Connecticnt and wants ’not less than 2,'t00 good men in Connecticut and West Virginia within the next eight months, and th m we will tnru our attention to Indians. We have six months longer to operate in Indiana than in West Virginia and Connecticut.’ There is a most infamous plot shown in these letters, as endorsed by Quay and Dudley and Huston, the former withholding money because tho national committee funds were short, hut referring him to the parties in West Virginia who were to take the negroes as workmen.— Lindsey communicated with congressmen iu various States according to his letters, saying that Mr. Choadle of the Ninth Indiana district, approved his scheme, and that he (Cheadie) would see Congressmen Owen and Browne and talk with them about it. Thi'Be is no questioning THE BEAIiITY OK KASCALITY OP THE pboposition. Has the colonization already begun in Indiana? Are these North Carolina negroes here now, imported to *place the State beyond doubt,’ as one Indiana Republican officeholder is quoted as saying of the scheme? The people should gibbet this infamy.

“Every advance towards afreeexohange of commodities is an cdvanoe in civilization; every obstruction to a free exchange is born of the same narrow, despotic spirit which planted castles on the Rhine to plunder peaoeful commerce; every obstruction to commerce is a tax upon consumption; every facility to a free exihange cheapeus commodities, increases trade and production, and promotes civilization. * * * * * Nothing is better for the peace of nations than unrestricted freedom of commerce and intercourse with each other.”—Hon. John Sherman, June 9, 1868.
