Tha Monster Kew York frlignatlon
Meeting at Cospsr Instate.
From all accounts, I the New
Yorkers had a monster mfceting at
Cooper Institute on Monday night
last. There has been notping equal
to,it. ae are told since the great as
sembly of the people of pVw York
in -April, 1801, when tha'var feeling
wu-j at its height. '
Men of all shades political
opinion, it is said, pnn aside their
deferences to unite li a common
i assertion of the v-rincirles underlv-
. r I, , ,.
ii!r every ionn of retvlv republican
government. '
The IsewYork TJ'-ZtZ says :
In the list of the d'Hicers of last
night's meet iiir' the names of or i zi
rial antislavery mcii like Mr. Fran
cis G. Shaw; ar .r' of conspicuous
Hepubiic;iiiS like Mr. Evart-?, Mr.
Peter Cooper, ex-Govcnmr S:ilo
j raoii, Mr. Barney, Mr. William E.
Dodge, .Mr. God wit:, Mr Jessup aud
Mr. Stewart, are to le read side
li
j J-iue niui in, i(l UiCU UIJil
ride
i trusU'u leaders ol the Jcmocracv ol
Now York. Mr. Belabnt, who c.il-
led the meeting to cnir, struck the
! true key-note of its ntaning when
I he evokod to the w'vjh of ail who
heard him the rea:ilic.io:is of tint
I great demonstration of 1801, in
which, a leader the:,, as to-day he
remains a leader if the constitu
: tional Democratic p:.rty of the Noah
: he accepted f r lio sake of the
; Union the drjad i.ue forced upon
' us by our mieguird brethren of
the South. By tlbse memories Mr.
I Bc'.iLont appfcileJ to them to reuse
! themselves dice more in behalf
; of a thing, ijearc than the Union,
j dearer tlian,coutry, dearer even
j than life itflf,' the thing vrliich
' men call 'civil liborty.' The ac
i knowledge J hetil and patriarch of
! the free prls or'Amcrica, Mr. Brv-
ant, witn yuicu wnoso specca t:ie
meeting opened a republican to
I day as inlSGl he was a Republican
responed completely to the spir-
1 1 of rir. SeLiioni,".s aiUlies, acn
he deciar.d that in the minds of
these wb.lad organized and given
shape andl purpose to the meeting
Cao swiv- ,aad one motive only
bore 'uWnyJa sincere desire to pre
serve the (institution from violation
and to priient an act of arbitrary
power fro becoming a precedeut
in the futre.' To this determina
tion all tie speakers, each in his
owt' wavind from his own stand-"
; point, g;fe varied and earnest e;:-
j pression and to this in all the forms
' m whic?it was presented to them
! the mivfity assembly of the people
! thundeed forth their unanimous
j 'Mmer,' in a maimer which showed,
! bcyou all doubt or peradventure
that hatcvcr pains may he taken
by g!ty eGcials or by purblind
partians to becloud ami beclog the
true-Puc now made up between
Pretdent Grant and his lieutenants

THE PUSSIDENT'S MESSASE.
Comments of tlio Press.
It is clear that President Grant
has retreated from the position he
assumed when he sanctioned Secret
tary Belknap's 'all of us' dispatch,
and the country is to bo conjjratula
ted on his adoption of more sober
and defensible opinions. Whether
the change be due to the protests of
certain members of his Cabinet or
to tho widespread expressions of
public indignation it is fortunate for
the President that he has reconsid
ered his first determination and
been induced to change his mistaken
policy X. Y. ierald (Ind.)
And this, we suppose, is the com
promise under which the Cabinet
lias been reunited. Instead of de
nouncing the banditti telegram of
Sheridan as monstrous, it is agreed
that the President shall say noth
ing about it. Instead of characteriz
ing the reply of Belknap as a false-
hood-
ecause a misrepresentation
of the views of other members of
the Cabinet it is passed over in
silence. Instead of confession that
the troops ought not to have been
left in New-Orleans subject to the
control of a man likn Kellogge, the
act is palliated. Instead of an
admonition or a denunciation of
Gens. Sheridan and do Trobriand
for submitting the army to the
partisan purpose of Kellogg a week
arr-i l.-icl" YrniLijr. tho nrtrnd &3 o
cased upon the plea 'that the army
is not composed of lawyers capable
of judging at a moment's notice of
just how far they can go in the
maintenance of iaw Vad older.' The
last and extreme punishment fcr
Presidential lawlessness was never
so richlv deserved. rNew-York
World (Dem.)
The concluding portions of this
most lame and importent message
satisfy us that Grunt is getting
fri-htened. It opens in a boister
ous tone, and tapers off with a
piteous whine. X. Y. Sun (nil.)
The President has missed his
golden opportunity. Having, in
the language of Secretary Belknap's
famous dispatch, once 'thoroughly
approved' the acts of Gen. Sheri"
dan, he now recedes from that ap
proval, but seeks to evade the logi
cal consequences of the recession,
which it would have been both
politic and manly for him cheerfully
to accept. N. Y. Evening Post
(Hep.)
Displeased fcv Grant's
Misstatements.
A correspondent of the Tribune
from New Orleans telegraphs this :
The President's message does not
greatly comfort the Kellogg party
or the army, as it is only a stream
of apologetic special pleading. At
tention is directed to some very
grave errors of fact in tlie docu
ment. For examble, the President
cites the killing of Judge Crawford
and District Attorney Harris, in
North Louisiana, in October, 1873,
as specimens of political murders.
it is very welt known that that they
vvcro assassinated by a band of out
laws, headed by a convicted mur--
derer, who had escaped, and tnat
politics had nothing to do with it.
JuJge Crawford was unusually res
pected as an upright man and liar
ris was an ultra Democrat, the in-,
timate personal and political friend
of Gov. McEnery, and a Southern
man by birth and principle, lie
raised the first company in that dis
trict for the Confederate army,
served through tho war, and was al
ways a consistent and staunch op
ponent ot the liadical otate Cjov
ment of Louisiana. The truth is
that he and Judge Crawford were
fiercely prosecuting a gang of crinv.
inals, who murdered them in re
venge. There was absolutely no
politics in the case.
The lJicayune ol last week pub
lished a list of the murderers con-.
fined in the parish prison during
the years 1873 and 18(4. They
are taken from the official record?.
The total number is 74, and of
these 59 were negroes and well
known Radicals Several were po
liceman or other stipendiaries of the
Kellogg Government. The even
ing papers publish a list of convict
ed criminals pardoned by Kellogg
during the same period. The total
is 84 13 murderers, 6 convicted
of manslaughter, and 9 others for
crimes punishable by death.

Grant How He Looks.
The editor of the Atlanta Con
stitutionalist was in Washington
City last week and while there
called upon the President, He
says :
" In company with Mr. Stephens
and his secretary, we paid a visit
to the President. The door3 at the
White House were opened by a
white porter whose face was pro
fusely decorated with ' courage
bumps ' or ' rum blossoms.' He
made up in politeness, however,
what he Jacked in personal pulchri
tude. Gen. Grant's reception room
is in the second story, but the good
natured porter insisted that Mr.
Stephens and his friends should be
seated in a private room on the
ground floor, and instead of having
to go to the President, His Exceb
lency would gladly come to them.
We had not long to wait. General
Grant entered quietly, walked up
to Mr. Stephens and inquired kindi
ly about his health. After that the
writer and Mr. Oglesby were pre
sented in due form. Grant pre
sented his hand, and received us
without the least attempt at stiff
nes3. We were seated in the only
chairs convenient, and Mr. Presi
dent, after glancing around for a
place to sit upon, walked off to a
corner, secured a chair and drew it
up to tho circle. lie had the stump
of a cigar in his hand but did not
put it to his mouth during the in
terview. He chatted about the
theatre and other common topics,
and certainly displayed as little
" arristocracy " as any man of high
position we ever met. His eyes
are not as strong as they used to
be. They were weak and caused
him some trouble. His face has
the same resolute look, but it has
grown puffy and bears the marks of
high steaming. What he will do
with himself, when power drops
from him and with power the
friends and toadies of the sunshiny
hours, it is impossible to say. He
is a strange man and may have a
notable history beyond the Presi
dency ; but the chances are that,
with the loss of authority and influ
ence, ne will seek inspiration or
consolation after that fashion which
rapidly demolishes all men of ac
tion forced into retirement " for
qui.it to quick bosoms is a hell."

v The Term Esquire.
There is a cornmonly received
opinion in Great Britain that any
gentleman is an esquire who has
1,500 a year in landed properity;
but the fact is, that no estate, how
ever large, confers the rank. Sir
Edward Coke observes that every
esquir is a gentlempn, and a gentle
man is ueiined to be one 'qui arma
garit' who bears coat armor the
grant of which adds gentility to a
man's family. Camden, a great
authority on such matters, reckons
up four kinds of esquires :
1. lhe oldest son3 of knights and
their eldest sons in perpetual suc
cession. 2. The eldest sons of the
younger sons ol peers and their
eldest sons m perpetual succession.
Lsquires created by the non-
arch's letters patent, or rather in
vestiture, and their eldest sons. 4.
Esquires by virtue of their offices as
justices of the peace, and others who
hold any ofhee of trust under the
crown. To these may be added
the esquires of Knights of the Bath,
each of whom constitutes three at
his installation, and all those who
have at any time been called esquires
by the crown in any documents
whatever.
In tlii3 democratic community
every one is an 'Esquire' or an
'Honorable,' unless he prefers to be
called Major, Colonel or General
the title of Captain being monopo
lized by the commanders of our
lake schooners and Mississippi flat
boats. 'Governor' and -Judge'
were once highly thought of in this
latitude, but since the appellation
ha3 been bestowed on such people
as the Kelloggs, the Moseses, the
Wellses, the Durells, the Ludelings
and their compeers, no Southern
gentleman feels honored by wear
ing titles which have been put to
such base uses. New Orleans

"Our Living and our Dead."
The January
num'oer
of
tlli3
monthly magazine
is upon
our
table. In addition to its usual
in
the teresting matter, it contains
first chapter of a story entitled
'A Summer Idyl,' by Christian
Keid, which we have already re
ferred to in these columns. It fully
sustains the character of this North
Carolina authoress, and will add
much to the interest of tho Maga
zine. We also find in this number
the first of a serial story by Mrs.
Cicero W. Harris, of Wilmington,
formerly of Graenville and well
known in our midst, The story is
founded in Granville county, and
while Mrs. Harris will undoubtedly
please the general read, her writ
ings will be of peculiar interest to
her many friends throughout the
State.

The Charlotte Centenial.
We read, with pleasure, the re
marks from various journals in re
ference to a Centenial celebration
to be held at Charlotte. The
movement meets with our warmest
approval. It is a spirit of State
pride that should be encouraged.
We may say that North Carolina
was the cradle of liberty; it was
within her borders that the spirit of
independence first took a root that
was Boon destined to grow to a
large tree, that nobly withstood the
winds of English oppression. With
in the Hornet-nest precinet was
lound as brave a set of pioneers as
yet ever lead any movement. The
brave, sons of Mecklenburg were
forward in the fray, and their des
claration of independence from the
British yoke, dates far anterior to
tho one of memorable note that
took root in Philadelphia. North
Carolina, with such an arry of sons
as Hon. Wm. A Graham, Zeb
Vance and others of like noteriety
would be able to have a Centenial
celebration that would prove a credit
to the State. Why not in connec
tion with the ' celerabtion let us
have an exposition and industrial
exhibition to show what a degree
of rank and influence our proud
State has reached, in the various
branches of Art? Farming indus
try, Mercantile pursuits &c, that
the world may see the mamouth
might in the sc i le of human affairs
we have ascended, as compared with
the small colony of brave freeman
that had the boldness to face, tho
British Lion in his Strong hold.
We add our voice to it, lec it bo
started on a sure footing, and on a
scale of magnitude, to do honor to
our feeling. Mount Airy Watchs

Hard Times in lS19-'20.
People who complain so much of
e existing 'hard times,' would do
well to read the following from
Benton's 'Thirty Years Recollec
tions.' He says : .
'The years 1819 and 1820 were a
period of gloom and agony. No
tq 0110-5-5 noitker -nor cilvorj no
payer convertible into specie; no
measure or standard of value left
maining. The local bapks, all
but those of New England, after a
brief resumption of specie payment.;,
again sunk into a state of suspen
sion. The bank of the United
States, created as a remedy for all
these evils, now at the head of the
evil, was prostrate and helpless,
with no power left but of suing its
debtors and selling their property,
and purchasing lor itseil at it own
nominal price. No price for pro
duce; no sales but those of the
sheriff and marshal; no purchasers
at the execution sales, but the
creditor, or some hoarder of money;
no employment for industry; no
demand for labor; no sale for the
product of the farm; no sound of
hammer, but that ol the auctioneer.
knocking down property. Stop laws,
property laws, replevin laws, stay
laws, loan omce laws, the interven
tion of the Legislature between
creditor and debtor this was the
business of legislation in three
forths of the States of the Union
of all South and West of New Eng
lond. No medium of exchange but
depreciated paper; no change, even,
but little bits of fould paper, narks
ed so many cents, and signed by
6ome tradesman, barber, or inn
keeper; exchanges deranged to
tho
per
extent of fifty or one hundred
cent. Distress the universay
cry
of tho people; relief the universal
demand, thundered at the door of
all Legislatures, State and Federel.'
Our Government Its Ezact Condi
tion.
We have seen nowhere such an
exact and comprehensive statement
of the present condition of the Gov
ernment under which we live as
the following from the New York
Financier. Behold it, citizens !
" The President does as he pleas
es in Louisiana, and notifies Con-
gress that he shall continue to do
so unless the matter is taken out of
his hands ; Congress ignores it, and
be goes from one seizure of power
to another, public placidly looking
on and not realizing that the strue
ture of government is undergoing a
reactionary trial but quite as seri
ous as that sustaiued during the
war. The Government of to-day is
not that founded by the Constitu
tion. It is not monarchial ; it is
not aristocratic); it is not really rep
resentative ; it is an anomaly; a
fierce, although bloodless experi
ment. Tho form remains, but the
thing has changed. What now er
ists ia a representative government
trying to use the powers of a con
stitutional monarchy, clinging to
the assumptions made in the war
under the plea of necessity, and
waging a conflict between tho fed
eral power and the power of the
States, while the people are yet un
der tho soothing influence of the
notion that the govermental form is
so simple and perfect that it will
continue to run on itself without
serious jars, as it did for seventy
years."
