Russia, and it ls stated that there is et iii an
average of one hundred and fifty deaths a day
In Kiew.
-James Stephens, iormerly (?ulan " Head
Centre," ls said to have been taken In part?
nership by a wealthy Bordeaux wine mer
chant, and ls coming to America to sell wines
-The opening of the Mont Cenis tunnel,
which was fixed for the 15th Instant, oas been
Indefinitely postponed, says the Prussian Cross
Gazette, on account of the unsatlstactory rela?
tions between the French and Italian Govern?
ments.
-It ls said that a movement Is on foot to re?
organise the "Mozart Hall" wing of the New
York Democracy, and that the gentlemen who
will take an active part in the organization are
men well known for their sterling Democracy
and unblemished Integrity.
-George Augustos Sala, who lately bagged
?600 damages from Hain Frlswell tor an attack
upon him in "Modern Men ot Letters," now
sues the London publisher, Solon Camden Hot
ten, for damages In reprinting Bret Harte's
burlesque on Sala? style in the "Condensed

-It is proposed to introduce ? new tele?
graphic service In the German army for artil?
lery lu action. Experienced artillerymen are
to be posted under cover far in advance of the

ade and report back by means of a small port?
able telegraphic apparatus.
-We find in the Richmond Dispatch cf Wed?
nesday the lol lowing official announcement of
tho consummation o? an Important railroad
. negotiation : " The lease or the entire road of
tho North Carolina Company-two hundred and
.twenty-three miles-from Charlotte, N. C., to
Goldsboro', N. C., by the Richmond and Dan?
ville Railroad Company, was consummated on
September ll for thirty years, ot $260,000 per
annum. Possession hilly delivered. And lt is
now operated under the control of Colonel A.
8. Buford, president of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad, thus completing his plan ol
continuous line from Richmond and Chesa?
peake to Atlanta, Ga., and central South. The
lease gives general satisfaction, as in the best
interest of both contracting companies, and
establishes a great thoroughfare from the
tEastern Atlantic States under ono manage?
ment."
-Among the Important results achieved by
Beust and Bismarck, the Austrian and Ger?
man premiers, at the conferece at Gasteln, ls
a promise on both sides that strict friendship
snail prevail in the future between the two
powers. Austria will not permit any agitation
In Bavaria or Wartemburg against German
unity; Prussia, on the othar hand, will <'.o all
in her power to prevent a war of German
nationalities. Austria declares herself satisfied
with the changes made by Prussia and with
the situation In Italy; Prussia considers the
existence ot Austria a political necessity, and
will regulate her conduct accordingly. Italy,
a*?s the Neue F. ?ie Presse, lias been induced
to enter Into the compact, and these three
States are to unite for the peace of Europe
To this lt adds : "The plans ol vengeance con?
ceived by France, the crusades Intended by
the Ultramontanes, at. the desires of con?
quest nourished by Russia,will all be frustrated
by this triple al ?ance."
-Recent English newspapers contain mi?
nute and elaborate accounts of the new case
mated lort which ls now in course of con?
struction at Garrison Point, Sheerness, !or the
defence of the Medway. When this ls com?
pleted, it will make one of the strongest and
moat formidable of harbor defences In Great
Britain. The whole of the masonry work was
finished some months since, and ls now eiiffi
clently firm to allow the arming operations to
be proceeded with. About one-half of me
huge iron plates which are to protect the em?
brasures have been placed In position, and
fourteen of the thirty-eight heavy rifled guns
with which the fort is to be armed are already
mounted. These are all nine-inch cannon,
weighing twelve tons each, and throwing pro?
jectiles of 250 pounds weight, with a power
considered capable of penetrating' any ordi?
nary iron-clad ship at ranges of about looo
yards. The fort is what sailors would term a
a "two-decker," there being a double tier of
guns, nineteen In each. It Is shaped like the
letter D. the round side being armed, and
commanding the mouths ot the Thames and
Medway, and a considerable extent ol the sea?
board, while the straight part forms the gorge
or entrance on the land side, and is unarmi d.
-M.. Capron, who resigned his position as
comtrlssloner of the agricultura! bureau at
Washington in order lo instruct the Japanese
n th* use ol American agricultural tools an i
labor-saving machinery, will And himself in.
one of the most highly and minutely cultivat?
ed Fpo ts on the earth. Mr. Brooks, ol the New
York Express, has been visiting Japant and
does not appear to have been quite prepared
to And such a condition of agricultural indus?
try, concerning which he writes: "I thought
once, when on tbe Nile, that the Egyptians,
who could lum Bands Into gardens, were the
great farmers of the world; but the Egyptians
could make no such farming gardens as these.
Proud as I am of the arts, sciences and, mar?
vellous doings ol my own country, I blush
when I compare American farming with this !
Here are the rice fields artificial ly created,
luxuriant in beauty now, terraced irom hill?
side, up and down, and watered by the hill
streams, or not watered, as husbandman wills.
There are barley ifield?, and bran fields, and
fields of ail sorts of Japan agricultural pro?
ductions. Forests cap all ihe hill-tops. Two
crops are raised in Japan in one year, even on
rice fields, where the first crop is grain. The
grain harvest is over in April or May. The
rains come on in June and July, and now Ihe
new crops are up, and the whole country is
one beautiful landscape of green."
'Organs."
The party newspapei is not a very new
invention. When politics and politicians,
taken CH bloc, were moderately respectable,
the journalist might safely criticise and ad?
monish hie own supporters, and was Dot
forced to expend oil his strength in abusing
and taunting the enemy. But as parties
became more and more disreputable, they
dared not trust their canse to journals
which might, in iheir honest intervals, expose
their peccadilloes. Then sprang into life the
typical Party OrgaD, which hoots at the pos?
sibility ol wrong on il3 own side, and the
possibility of right on the other; which sees
nothing dangerous in the most pernicious
schemes of its own sect, and nothing bene?
ficial in the wisest acts of tbe opposition,
which treats all its friends as saints, and all
ila foes as sinners. The succ?s of the Party
I is the profit of the Organ. Naturally enough,
I all it3 endeavors are directed to turning "an
"honest penny.'' Whether such a sheet is
more desirable, in a decent community, than
a professional poisoner or a corrupt judge,
needs no discussion here. The pressing
question is, whether a Party Organ, pub?
lished for the benefit of a Party, should be
supported by a taxjgvled upon the public at
large, who are injured, not benefited, by
its unscrupu'->us one-sidedness, and who
have no sympathy with its avowed aims ?
A newspaper is supposed to be support?e]
by iiB subscription and advertising business,
which are assumed to depend upon the in?
trinsic value of the publication. Unless the
paper find readers it will not find advertisers.
But the Party Organ, which flourishes in the
Southern States, has discovered ihe Philoso?
pher's stone of newspaperdom. It can live
wit lout circulation, and without commer?
cial advertising. As it is published for the
good of the Party, it demands that it be sup?
ported by the Party. This is unobjectiona?
ble on the face of it. Bat the Party have uo
fund, which they are willing to spend, ex?
cept that which is the result of the taxation
imposed by their party upon the State, which
they, being in power, absolutely control
They, therefore, button closely their own
pockets, prop np the Party Organ, and pay
its bills ont of the State Treasury.
Now the people are quite willing to Lave
a score of newspapers where they now liave
teo, provided that those papers stand on
their owe bottom. Those which are barren
of news and dull in style, or do not supply
an existing want, soon go to the wall. They
fail, because the public are not sufficiently
interested in them and their doctrines; be?
cause enough persons will not read them,
and advertise in them, lo pay their working
expense?. This is a simple process, and it
applies to all new undertakings. But the
public have a right to complain when a tax
is levied upon them, in a body, to fill the
coffere of a Party Organ, which they, as in?
dividuals, have declined to support. It may
be said, as in South Carolina, that the Radi?
cal party need an Organ which shall play
none but Radical tunes. Who objects?
They may have a hundred Organs if they
like. All that the public insist upon is, that
tbe Organs shall be kept alive by legitimate
business, and not with the moneys of the
pjople, expended without their knowledge or
consent. The Organ which gave up the
ghost in Charleston, the other day, moaned
out the plaint that it died because it had not
had enough "State patronage." This State
patronage i3 Official advertising, given to
the Organ as a payment for ils Services, j
The advertising does the public no good,
because the Organ is not read. Every dol?
lar is filched from the pockets of the people,
who, whether they know it or not, are taxed
every year to pay for the Official Advertise?
ments, bnried in the Party Organ.
And if it be justifiable to make the public
treasury defray the cost of a newspaper,
whose continued publication is desired by
the dominant party, it is equally reasonable
and right to win over votes by a more sub?
stantial bait. Fat bacon and line toggery
will keep Hie Radical negroes together far
better than didactic leading articles. With
the weak-kneed and wavering, a tine riding
horse or u diamond pin might go farther
than denunciations ofDemocraticinsincerity.
Suppose we try it. Let us have a State gro?
cery store, and a State clothing store, and a
jeweller to the State, and a State stable
where Radicals and would-be Radicals may
Le furnished, inside and out, free of charge.
How are the provisions and pin?, the clothes
and the prancing steeds, to be paid for, if they
are given away in this style ? Pooh ! Pooh !
A tax will be levied upon the whole people
sufficient to cover all the varied outlay of
ihe ruling Farty. This may be deemed an
extreme illustration o? the lengths to which
parties will go. Itdoe3 not come up to Ihe
truth. A tax for giving boots and shoes to
bare-footed Radicals ?s no worse than a tax
to poy for ndvertisiog gi-en to a Party Or?
gan, simply and solely because it must sus?
pend if its running expenses are not, upon
some pretext, graciously paid by the Slate.
To Every Soldier who Worthily Wore
the Gray.
The rirst Confederate soldier killed in the
war between the States was Henry Wyatt,
of North Carolin who fell at Bethel, and is
buried in Hollywood Cemetery, at Rich?
mond, Virginia, A ?rief inscription on his
tombstone, telling the eventful history, at?
tracts the attention or every visitor to the
Cemetery; and on Memorial Day no Confed?
erate ni ave is more lavishly decorated than
that of yeing Wyatt The dead son ia re?
membered t.nd honored, while the living
father is neglected or forgotten.
John Wyatt, the father of Henry Wyatt, is
now in the Poorhouse in'Pitt County,
North Carolina. The boy, who would have
been the prop of his old age, shed his blood
for ?B in the first battle of the war, and it
rests with his surviving comrades to save
the patriot-father from further humiliation.
A trifling contribution from the Confederate
soldiers will make the vecerable old man
comfortable for the rest of his days, and we
sincerely hope tbat every Southerner, who
wore the gray with honor, will send a few
pence, for the father of Henry Wyatt, to
Captain W. J. McKerali, of Marion, South
Carolina, who has kindly volunteered to
forward all these donations to their destina?
tion. Those who prefer so doing may send
their donations to the editor of THE NEWS,
who will cheerfully take them in charge and
hand them to Captain McKerali.
