Gen. Hancock was born in Montgomry county, Penusylvania. His father, who Was a uative of the same county, partici- pated in the war of 1812, and afterwards ; became a lawyer of prominence. The date ot Gen Hancock’s birth was Febrnary 14, 1824. Hiis early education atan academy at Norristown, where he spent the first years of his youth. He possessed, as a school boy, those traits which sometimes foretell future eminence. Studious and thoughtfol, he laid the foun- dations of a great career. Entering West Point at 16 he graduat- ed with credit to himself the 30th of June, Io44. The close of the Mexican which had distinguished himself at Contreras, Cherubusco, Molino del Rey and at the capture of the city of Mexico— found him a Second Lieutenant of infan- try. From 1243 to 136] he served in va- rious capacities in the military service. lu 13861, when the war between the Unit- ed States and the Confederate States broke out, he was stationed at Los Ange- los, California. He offered his services, first to his native State of Peunsylvania, aud then to the Fedral Goverumenut. The i Gen.

His brigade took part in a npnwber of skirmishes and partial en- gagements that preceded the battle of Williamsburg on the Sth of May. It dis- tinguished itself on that day, Gen. Han- eock assuming command and leading a charge. This sharing the dangers of lus men was one of the features of his milita- ry career; he never was unwilling to lead op occasions when his presence was need- ed to encourage his troops, and both as Brigadier-General and Major-General he gave his soldiers the inspiritiug lesson of example and emulation. But all General Hancock’s courage and skill could vot alter the decrees of Fate. He retired with the rest of the Army of the Potomac from the long-continued, bloody and disastrous Seven Days’ Fight, leaving Richmoud in joying for bimself the enviable couscious- ness of having deserved well of his coun- try. The testimony to bis devotion was shown when, after the battle ef Malvern Hill, Gen.

In this battle fell the General-Commanding the First Division of the Second Army Corps. During the progress of the battle General Hancock was appointed to the command of the division, and thas began his con- tarns. We shall in this way have nol: nection with the second corps, of which in the course of the time he became the commander. We next hear of Hancock at the great battle of Gettysburg which, by some North- ern authorities, is held to have been the piv- otal conflict of the war. The retreating Union forces were stayed at this point by his advice, and here was it that Gen. Meade, who was in general command, determined to make a stand ‘avainst Gen. Lee’s pursiting army. On the first day of the battle, July Ist, he was in immediate command until the arrival of Meade. On the second day his corps did exceptional service and was corps. He had command of the left centre of the Union army and before the close of the day he was severely wounded. In consideration of his services in these battles Congress vot- ed him a resolution of thanks, It wis not until the opening of the cam- paign of 1864 that his wounds allowed him Up to March of that vear he was on sick leave, and was en- again to see active service. gaged in recruiting the second army corps.

But to his credit be it said that he made every effort, consistent with his posi- tion and duties, to save the life of his vic- tim convicted under martial law. Mrs, Surratt and her companions were executed on July 8, 1865. When Mrs. Surratt’s daugh- ter, at his sugvestion, endeavored to reach the ear of President Jolinson to intercede for her mother'slife, General Hencock assist ed her to the extent of his alility in carry- ing out her wishes. But in vain. He hoped for a pardon for Mrs. Surratt through the prayers of the unfortunate woman’s daugh- ter and on the day of the execution he sta- tioned mounted soldiers on the line from the White House to the Arsenal grounds, where the execution was to take place. so that if the pardon were granted even at the last moment, he should know it promptiy and in time to save Mrs. Surratt from the halter. No Messenger of merey came, and tie indel- ible disgrace was attached to the govern- ment of the United States of hanging a woinan innocent of crime. Later in July General Hancock was trans- ferred to the middle department. His head- quarters were at Baltimore. He remained in command of this department until July, 1866, when he was put in command of the department of Missouri. About the same time be was Made Major-General in the reg- ular army, having already been breveted to the same grade for “gallant and meritorious While in the campaigns service at Spottsylvania.” West he coneucted several against hostile Indians in the Indian Terri- tory, Kansas and Colorado. Hissubsequent commands have been those oi Lo :isiana and Texas, of Dakota and of the department of the East—the last his present charge, with headquarters on Governor's Island. He was commissioned Major-General of Volunteers in the month of November, and at the head of his division he participated in the battle at Fredericksburg on December 13th; here he was slightly wounded. He shared in the defeat of Hooker at Chancel- lorsville in 1863, and his division did effect- ual service in staying the ill-fortunes of the day by protecting the rear of the retreating Union troops. In the month of June of the same year he was assigned to the command of the second army corps. We have shown above the record that General Hancock has made for himself as a soldier, but it is not asa soldier that the Presidency of the United States will be canferred on him. Although a soldier himself, he has stood boldly and bravely forward in emergencies in defence of a the civil law when threatened in time of peace by the niilitary law, While in command of the “Military District” of Louisiana and Texas, with headquarters New Orleans, in November, 1867, he | renua himself met bg ‘difficulties arising ! The months of Augnst gud September, ont of the results of the war, With ad- 1862, funnd Gen. Hancock with bis brig- mirable tact and a keen sense of jnstice "an of the laws of the country as well as to the people of Louisiaha and Texas, he recencited the differenecs that had pre- viously prevailed and whieh had had their origin in the abominable earpet-bag governments that since the close of the war had blighted those States. Instead of an oppressor, the Lotisianians and Texans found in him a governor inspired by motives of the purest. patriotism aud of the highest justice. On assuming com- mand, November 29, 1367, he issued his well known “General Order, No. 40,” in which he laid down lis -programme as Governor of the District. This document was arevelation to an oppressed, rob- bed and humiliated people. Tn it he ex- pressed his conviction that the people of Louisiana and Texes desired peace, and he declared his purpose to ensure it, by allowing the civil authorities to carry out the civil laws. There was everything in this “Order” to prodace a. profound sense of gratitude in the hearts of those to whom it was addressed. Following it came fora while the blessings of peace and prosperity, and but for the fact that the administration at Washington re- moved General Hancock from his sphere of just and beneficient government the period of misrule iu Louisiana and Texas would have come toanend ten years ago.

Tt will be seen, therefore, that as a candidate for the Presidency in 1880 he has a Presi- dential record which does not lack the important element of the coufidence of hundreds of thousands of bis fellow-citi- zens in his availability as the man to lead the Democracy to victory.

THE WAY IT WAS DONE Vrenght out ip Democratic Jn the he re- Gov. Jarvis received nearly a hundred votes wore than all competitors combined on the first ballot; and before tie ballot was announced anumber of counties chang- ed over to him, thus increasing the vote very largely in his favor, when Mr. Fuller of Wake. Mr. Jarvis’ ablest opponent, arose and changed the 44 votes of that county and cast them solidly for hiw, and proposed to make the governor ‘s nomination unani- mous. This proposition was received with the greatest enthusiasm. In this way was Gov. Jarvis nominated by the largest and most intelligent Convention that ever as- sembled in this State. There was no ma- chine work, no unfairness, no packing, and those who say to the contrary lie and know they fulsefy the facts, when they do it. Gov. Jarvis is a man of the people. He is deservedly popular. He has endeared himself to all classes by his manly, straight- forward, and honest course in all public places he has ever filled, and especially by the able and honest manner ip which he has managed the State affairs since he became our Chief Executive officer. It was there- fore expected that he would receive the well-done of the people tor his faithful pub- lic services, and not because Judge Fowle or Gen. Scales were thought unworthy. The friends of these two last: named gentlemen must know this if they have taken the trou- ble to ascertain the feelings of the people: and those who have done 680 are ay strony pow for Mr. Jarvis as aay of his warmet friends can be. For shame then let us hear ! no more complaining, but let us unite as one and stand by the nominees. No 40” | The Final Scene, In the Cincinnati Convention when Hancock ‘ Was Nominated. enry Grady to Atlanta Constitu: Cixcinnati, June 24, 12 me es scene preceding and attending Hancock’s numi- nation was indescribable. There was a iull after Pennsylvania changed on the vote, and it was thought that all was ov er, when Wisconsin arose and changed. After that nothing more was heard for a full half hour. Malcolm Hay got the chair and carried Peansylvauia over sulid and then there wasa pandemoninm. Han- cock’s banner, bearing his likeness and the motto, “The civil Jaw is supreme— the natural rights of persou and property must be preseryed,” was brought and plattet on the n’s desk. The whole house rose and yelled and shonted. The flags of the States were then taken by the delegates and advanced to the center, nodding to the Haneock banner. The Randall and Americus banuers fol- ‘lowed, until the front of the stage wasa waving wilderness of flags and streamers. The bands struck up inspiring music. For ten minutes the vast hall was like a mad-house. Men raised umbrellas and waved them, pressed over the reporters’ tables, utterly sweeping them to one side. A desperate struggle was taking place in the Indiaua delegation over the State flag. It had remained planted iv the midst of the delegation, when two men seized it and attempted to take it to the congress of flags about the stage. The delegates fought over the flag until it was torn to pieces, but the renmants were finally ear- tried off, and the staft of the rag was hoist- ed in frout of the stage. The delegates made a sally, reeaptured the banner and brought it back. A tight ensued ip which several persons were carried out of the delegation by the police. Dan Voorhees stood by watching the struggle with tears rolling down his face avd many of the In- dianians wept as the s.oats wenton. The Delaware banuer of Bayard was never moved from its place in the midst of the Delawareans and South Carolina’s flag waved serene and undisturbed by the side of the sad and silent Hampton, who sat guarding it with majesty and dignity. These two flags alone remained at their posts. The Delawareans were crushed and depressed, and with the Indianians were the only silent clump in the enor- wous tumult. Georgia attempted to ciniugeher vote, tuta ew’ eat of the roll was demanded aud quiet restored. On thee last call Indiana voted for Hen- dricks amid furious pressure from all sides, and adhered to the vote, although besiged by scores of people who pressed for ab unanimous vote. The Indianians were pale and determiued, and stack to their vote until the result was announced and it was seen that Hancock was vomi- nated. Then the agony was over. JOINING HANDS. The culmination came, though, when Kelly, representing Tammany, and Fel- lows, representing anti-Tammany, shook hands at the stand with the band playing “Auld Lang Syne.” Fellows had just cou- claded when Kelly made his way to him and took his haud. They remained with hands clasped fer several moments, the body of the convention cheering heartily, but several clumps remaining seated. As Tammany rose ina body in the rear of the hall the New York delegates rose, with the exception of Peckham aud half vdozen, and the tw6 delegations hada hearty hand shaking, aud each side de- clared that it would vie with the other in rolling up a majority, for the common candidate. New Jersey promised 18,000 majority, and there was the greatest en- thusiasm in all scenes. ee THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES. VOICES OF TUE PRESS AND PEOPLE. Great Enthusiasm Throughout the Country— How the Ticket is Regard- ed by the Republicans— Congratula- ting the Nezt President. Knoxville, June 24.—The nomina- tion of Hancock is received with great satisfaction here. A salute of 100 guns was fired by ex-Confederates from the battery of the University of Tennes- see. Boston, June 24.— Dispatches from various points throughout New Eng- land mention the enthusiastic rejoic- ing of the Demecracy over the Cin- cinnati nominations. Montgomery, June 24.—The nomi- nations of Hancock and English were received: with grat enthiastasm here. A club of over 300 was formed in an hour after the nowinaticns were wade. New Orleans, June 24.—The Bee, Democrat, Picayune and Times threw their flags to the breeze and the build- ings of the Bee, Democrat aud Pica- yune were haudsumely illuminated to-night.

The Republicans believe the | nomination vf Haneock is a strong one, anil the Democrats are highly gratified, and say he will certainly labl carry the State, and possibly the city. There has been no demonstration of a public character. Great prepara- | tions are being made for the reception of the Cincinnati delegates, and the Americus and Randall clubs on their return home to-morrow. ' Baltimore, June 24.—The nomina-. tion of Hancock and English at Cin-| cinnati, to-day, gives entire satisfac- tion to the Democratic party in this city and State. Next to Bayard, Hancock was the choice of the party. One hundred guns were fired on Fed- eral hill to-night in honor of the nomination and one hundred in the western suburbs. Galveston, June 24, =The News’ specials show that the nomination of General Hancock was received with | enthusiasm all over the State. The flying banners and flags, street pro- | cessions, the ringing of bells, the | booming of cannon, all bespeak the hearty indorsement by the Democrats of Texas of the nomination at Cincin- uati. Bonfires and fireworks illumi- nate almost the entire State to-night. Wilmington, Del., June 24.—Sena- suburbs of this city, when approached this evening in reference to the nomi- nation, said he thought the conven- tion had done its work well and that Geueral Hancock was a strong caadi- date, his military and civil record be- ing unblemished. He called attention to the fact that Delaware’s vote was cast for Hancock in the convention of1868. Mr. Bayard heartily indorses the ticket and has sent a congratula- tory telegram to General Hancock and received a reply. New York, June 25.—The Herald says: “An undoubted and very great benefit tothe country is that the nomination of Hancock makes im- possible the bloody shirt campaign ; that between Gurfield and Hancock voters may choose freely and safely, according to their views of what is the best policy, and with no fear that the Union or any man’s rights in the country will be endangered by the election of either.” The Times says: “It isa peculiarly constituted party which sends rebel brigadiers to Congress because of their rebellion, and which nominates a Un- ion general as its candidate for Presi- dent of the United States because of his loyalty.” It considers the ticket very common-place. The World warmly eulogizes Han- cock for his military career and states- manly conduct during the war, and welcomes the nomination as the means of re-uniting as firmly as if never se- parated the States of the Union. The Journal of Commerce highly eulogizing Hancock, says: “A polish- ed and cultured gentleman, a brave and successful soldier, and an honest man, he is without stain and above reproach ; fitto sit in the chiar of Washington and represent the A meri- can people vo the monarchs and states- men of the world.” The Tribune says: “In the hour of excitement and passion another Dem- ocratie convention has missed all chance of victory. Eager to bury Tildenism, and escape the nomination of Tilden, which seemed at Cincinna- ti,as here, to be as inevitable as it Ww ould have been fatal, the conven- tion went with a rush to the first cane didate who appeared to have the lead. Men who calculated colly what the convention must do in order to succeed, and expected that the con- vention would also calculate coolly, were surprised by its action.” Han: cock, it declares, will not prove as strong a candidate ys McClellan would, Savannah, Ga., June 25,—-The nomination of Hancock and Eng- lish gives great satisfaction in this city. One hundred guns will be fired to-day in honor of the event. Cuagvestox, 8. C., June 25.— The News and Courier, which has been the steadfast champion of RBay- ard regards the nomination of Han- cock as the strongest — the safest wer could have been made. Augusta, Ga.,J ane 25.—The Chron- icle says: “I'he nomination is a pow- erfal one, aud the solid South sounds the reveille ‘or the soldier statesman, who first proclairsed and stoutly main- ' culties which beset the choice at tained when the war was over, that the great principles of American lib-, {he Clocles’ nowiealinte ood he Cincinnati nomi sot Bertoni igi ny tended Sa. whole ew ots non ion ee satisfaction gray have one a Their line reaches the e - h of the land, and it cannet be ro en.” Galea.

Probably among all he candidates named there was dot s saf- er nominee.” The Times will say: “Gen. Han- cock gives the Democracy a better reo- ord than it has given itself. He ‘is vastly stronger than the party in the State and nation. His candidacy ‘strips the contest of the last vest of sectionalism and leaves the licans with no attribute e of the inherent merits of their candidate,’ The Ledger will say: “Gen. Han- cock is by far the strongest candidate the Democrats could have put ia the field.” New York, June 24.—The Staate Zuitung strongly. approves. .Cincingas. ti’s nominations, and considers thete- sult reached by the convention as a sign of improvement iu the condition of the country. The Sun says the nomination of Gen. Hancock presents the same great issue which would have been by the nominations of Mz. Tild although it had hoped that the would be nominated by the eonven- tion.

The general replied that he did not have anything to do with politics, “byt if you will sit down, the added, “and write the best thing that can be put in language aboyt General Hanesck as au officer and a man, I will sign it without hesitation,” The army officers on duty at the war department do not deal much jo polities, and talk bat oo — _ didates and parties, ever, but one thing to sat aioe cock—that he is one of the fivestoffi- cers in the army and one of the best men inthe country.

We next hear of Hancock at the great _ battle of Gettysburg which, by some North- ern authorities, is held to have been the piv- otal conflict of the war. The retreating Union forces were stayed at this point by his advice, and here was it that Gen. Meade, who was in general command, determined to make a stand avainst Gen. Lec’s pursuing army. On the first day of the battle, July Ist, he was in immediate command until the arrival of Meade, On the second day his corps did exceptional service and was engaged with General Longstrect’s corps. ‘He had command of the left centre of the Union army and before the close of the day he was severely wounded.

No Messenzer of merey came, and the indel- ible disgrace was attached to the yovern- ment of the United States of hanging a woman innocent of crime. Later in July General Hancock was trans- ferred to the middle department. His head- quarters were at Baltimore. He remained in command of this department until July, 1866, when he was put in command of the department of Missouri. About the same time he was Made Major-General in the reg- ular army, having already been breveted to the same grade for “gallant and meritorious service at Spottsylvania.” While in the West he coneucted several campaigns against hostile Indians in the Indian Terri- tory, Kansas and Colorado. Hissubsequent commands have been those oi Lo :isiana and Texas, of Dakota and of the Cepartment of the East—the last his present charge, with headquarters on Governor's Island. He was commissioned Major-General of Volunteers in the month of November, and at the head of his division he participated in the battle at Fredericksburg on December Sth; here he was slightly wounded. He shared in the defeat of Hooker at Chancel- lorsville in 1863, and his division did effect- ual service in staying the ill-fortunes of the day by protecting the rear of the retreating Union troops. In the month of June of the same year he was assigned to the command of the secoud army corps. We have shown above the record that General Hancock has made for himself as a soldier, but it is not asa soldier that the Presidency of the United States will be canferred on him.

THE WAY IT WAS DONE. Gov. Jarvis received nearly a hundred votes more than all competitors combined onthe first ballot; and before tie ballot was announced a number of counties chang- @dover to him, thus increasing the vote very largely in his favor, when Mr. Fuller of Wake. Mr. Jarvis’ ablest opponent, arose and changed the 44 votes of that county and cast them solidly for him, and proposec to make the governor's nomination unani- mous. This proposition was received with the greatest enthusiasm. In this way ¥. as Gov. Jarvis nominated by the largest and most intelligent Convention that ever as- sembled inthis State. There was no ma- chine work, no unfairness, no packing, and those who say to the contrary lie and know they falsefy the facts, when they do it. Goy. Jarvis is a man of the people. He is deservedly popular. He lias endeared himself to all classes by his manly, straight- forward, and honest course in all public places he has ever filled, and especially by the able and honest manner in which he has manaed the State affairs since he became our Chief Executive officer. It was there- fore expected that he would receive the well-done of the people tor his faithful pub- lic services, and not because Judge Fowle or Gen. Scales were thought unworthy. The friends of these two last named gentlemen must know this if they have taken the trou- le to ascertain the Jeelings of the people: and those who have done 80 are as strony now for Mr. Jarvis as aay of his warmert no more complaining, bot let us unite as one man and stand by the nominees. cipTés of jatice these y itt ree epite | ‘roll was demanded become a tower of streugth in) the! land.

CINCINNATI, June 24, 12 m.—The scene preceding and attending Hancock’s numi- nation was indescribable. There was a iull after Pennsylvania changed on the Vote, and it was thought that all was over, when Wisconsin arose and changed. After that nothing more was heard fora full half hour. Maleolm Hay got the chair and carried Pennsylvania over sulid avd then there wasa pandemoninm. Han- cock’s banner, bearing his likeness and the motto, “The civil law is supreme— the natural rights of person aud property must be preseryed,” was brought and planted on the thatrman’s desk. The Whole house rose and yelled and shonted. The flags of the States were then taken by the delegates and advanced to the center, nodding to the Hancock banner. The Randall and Americus banuers fol- lowed, until the front of the stage was a waving wilderness of flags and streamers. The bands struck up inspiring music. For ten minutes the vast hall was like a mad-house. Men raised umbrellas and waved them, pressed over the reporters’ tables, utterly sweeping them to one side. A desperate struggle was taking place in the Indiaua delegation over the State flag. It had remained planted in the midst of the delegation, when two men seized it and attempted to take it to the congress of flags about the stage. The delegates fought over the flag until it was torn to pieces, but the remnants were finally ear- vied off, and the statt of the rag was hoist- ed in front of the stage. The delegates made a sally, recaptured the banner and brought it back. A tight ensued ip which ‘several persons were carried out of the Dan Voorhees stood by watching the struggle with tears rolling down his face and many of the In- dianians wept as the s.outs wenton.

The Republicans believe the | nomination of Hancock isa strong one, and the Democrats are highly gratified, and say he will certainly carry the State, and possibly the city. There has been no demonstration of a public character. Great prepara- | tions are being made for the reception of the Cincinnati delegates, and the Americus and Randall clubs on their ! return home to-morrow. | Baltimore, June 24.—The nomina-. tion of Hancock and English at Cin- | cinnati, to-day, gives entire satisfac- | tion to the Democratic party in this | city and State. Next to Bayard, Hancock was the choice of the party. One hundred guns were fired on Fed- eral hill to-night in honor of the! nomination and one hundred in the | western suburbs. ‘ . | Galveston, June 24.—The News’ | specials show that the vomination of General Hancock was received with | enthusiasm all over the State. The flying banners and flags, street pro- | cessions, the ringing of bells, the booming of cannon, all bespeak the | hearty indorsement by the Democrats of Texas of the nomination at Cincin- nati. Boufires and fireworks illumi- nate almost the entire State to-night. Wilmington, Del., June 24.—Sena- suburbs of this city, when approached this evening in reference to the nomi- nation, said he thought the conven- tion had done its work well and that; General Hancock was a strong candi- date, his military and civil record be- ing unblemished. He called attention | to the fact that Delaware’s vote was east for Hancock in the convention of 1868. Mr. Bayard heartily indorses the ticket and has sent a congratula- | tory telegram to General Hancock and received a reply. New York, June 25.—The Herald says: “An undoubted and very great benefit tothe country is that the nomination of Hancock makes im- possible the bloody shirt campaign ; that between Garfield and Hancock voters may choose freely and safely, accurding to their views of what is the best policy, and with no fear that the Union or any man’s rights in the country will be endangered by the election of either.” The Times says: “It isa peculiarly constituted party which sends rebel brigadiers to Congress because of their rebellion, and which nominates a Un- ion general as its candidate for Presi- dent of the United States because of his loyalty.” It considers the ticket very common-place. The World warmly eulogizes Han- eack for his military career and states- manly conduct during the war, and welcomes the nomination as the means of re-uniting as firmly as if never se- parated the States of the Union. The Journal of Commerce highly eulogizing Hancock, says: “A polish- ed and cultured gentleman, a brave and successful soldier, and an honest man, he is without stain and above reproach ; fit to sit inthe chiar of Washington and represent the Ameri- can people to the monarchs and states- men of the world.” The Tribune says: “In the hour of excitement and passion another Dem- oeratic convention has missed all chance of victory. Eager to bury Tildenism, and escape the nomination of Tilden, which seemed at Cincinna- ti,as here, to be as inevitable as it would have been fatal, the conven- tion went with a rush to the first can- didate who appeared to have the lead. Men who calculated colly what the convention must do in order to succeed, and expected that the con- vention would also calculate coolly, were surprised by its action.” FJan- cock, it declarex, will not prove as strong a candidate xs BMeClellan would, Savannah, Ga., June 25.—The nomination of Hancock and Eng- lish gives great satisfaction in this city. One hundred guns will be fired to-day in houor of the event. e Cuarvestos, 8. C., June 25.— The News and Courier, which has been the steadfast champion of RBay- ard regards the nomination of Han- cock as the strongest and the safest that could have been made. Augusta, Ga., June 25.—The Chron- icle says: “I'he nomination 1s @ pow- erful one, and the solid South sounds the reveille ior the soldier statesman, who first proclaimed and stoutly main- tained when the war was over, that the great principles of American lib-. erty are still the lawful inheritance of this people. Richmond, Va., June 25.—All the leading journals comment most favor= !ably on the nomination of Hancock. New Orleans, June 25.—The news- papers all express satisfaction with the Cincinnati nominations, and the Picayune says: “The boys in blue and the boys in gray have one leader now. Their line reaches the whele length of the land, and it cannet be broken.” Galveston, June 25.—The Newe will favor the election of the ticket. A Houston telegram, eulogy of Han- cock, says: “We have tried the aan and know it is safe to entrust him with power. He sco * . us of the South ot Se ~~ ty; hence, of all men, he is indeed the Moses who can lead the South, and its people out of the wilderness aud firmly cement the bonds of the re- united country.” Washington, June 25.—Despatches received from all sections report great rejoicing and enthusiasm over the Gincinnati nominations, At Colum- bus, Ohio, a ratification meeting was held at the State House, at which Thurman made a speech eulogistic of Hancock and his actions in isia- na and Texas. San Francisco, June 25.— The news of the nomination of Hancock was received with general favor on the Pacific coast. Philadelphia, June 24.—The Ree- ord of to-morrow will say : “The nom- ination of Gen. Hancock was proba- bly the clearest soiution of the diffi- culties which beset the choice at Cin- cinnati. Probably among all ‘the candidates named there was not a saf- er nominee.” The Times will say: “Gen. Han- cock gives the Democracy a better reo- ord than it has given itself. He is vastly stronger than the party in the State and nation. His candidacy strips the contest of the last vesti of sectionalism and leaves the Repa licans with no attribute eutside of the inherent merits of their candidate.’ The Ledger will say: “Gen. Han- cock is by far the strongest candidate the Democrats could have put in the field.” New York, June 24.—The Staate Zuitung strongly approves —Cineinna- ti’s nominations, and considers the te- sult reached by the convention as a sign of improvement iu the condition of the country. The Sun says the nomination of Gen. Hancock presents the same great issue which would have been presents by the nominations of Mx. Fildes, although it had hoped that the Letter would be nominated by the eonven- tion, CONGRATULATORY TELEGRAMS. New York, June 24.~Gen. Han- cock recived the followisg congratu- latory telegrams this afterneon : I cordially congratulate you oa your nomination. Samugn J. Tite DEN, I have just thrown you our solid vote and congratulate you om your nomination. Wa. A. WALLACE, Senator of Pennsylvania, Hon.

Senator Randolph, of New Jersey, telegraphed : My hearty cougratulatipes New Jersey’s sons will stand by you as their sires did by the revolutionary hero. A STRONG TICKET. W asHINGTON, June 24.—Gen. Sher- man was asked by a reporter to- what he thougitof General Hancook’s nomination. The general replied that he did not have anything to do with politics, “but if you will sit down,” he added, “and write the best thing that cin be pat in language about General Hanenck as au officer anda man, I will sign it without hesitation,” The arny officers on duty at the war department do not deal much is polities, and talk bat little abont cap- didatesand parties. They bave, how- ever, but one thing to say abomt Hag- cock—that he is one of the finest offi- cers in the army and one of the best men inthe country. The Democratic nominee is popular among all officers and men in service. Post master-General Key said: “The nomination of General Hancock js the strongest they (the Democrats) could have made. He hasa good record as a soldier and has no political record to answer for.” Assirtant Postmaster-General Tyner says: “No stronger nomination could inve Leen made by the Democrstis party.

It deserves a careful read- ing, and in it may be found a triumphant vindication of the principles upon which Gen. Haneock couducted his admistra- tions. Nou conservative citizen can read it without beiug impressed with being the soundness of the writer's po- litical principles, the firmness and independence of his character, the ex- cellence of bis judgment, his statesmau- like ability and manly patriotism. HEADQUARTERS FirtH MILITARY District, NEW ORLEANS, La., Mareh 9th, 1868. To His Excellency LE. M. Pease, Governor of Texas: Sir—Your communication of the 17th January last, was received in due course ot mail, (the 27th January) but vot until it had been widely cireulated by the news- paper press. To such a letter—written and published for manifest purposes—it has been my intention to reply a8 s00n as leisure from more important basivess would permit. Your statement that the act of Congress “to provide for the more efficient govern- went of the rebel States,” declares that whatever government existed in Texas was provisional; that peace and order should be enforced ; that Texas should be a part of the Fifth Military District, and subject to military power; that the Pres- ident should appoint an officer to com- mand in said distrect, and detail a foree to protect the rights of persons avd nye perty, suppress lnsurection and violeute, and punish offenders, either by military commission, or through the action of lo- cal civil tribunals, as in his judgment might seem best, will not be disputed. One need only to read the act to perceive it contains such provisions. But how this is supposed to have made it my duty to order the military commission request- ed, you have entirely failed to show. The power to doa thing if shown, and the propriety of doing it, are often very dif- ferent matters, You observe you are at a loss to understand how a government, without representation in Congress, or inilitia force, and subject to military pew- er, can be said to be in the full exerei: e of all its proper powers. You do not retlect that this government, created or permitt’d by Congress, has all the powers which the act intends, and may fully exercise them accordingly. If you think it ought to have wore powers, should be allowed to send members to Congress, Wield a militia force and possess yet other powers, your con- vlaint is not to be preferred against me, bat agaiust Congress, who made it what it is. As respects the issue between us, any question as to what Congress ought to gave done has no pertinence. You admit the act of Congress authorizes me to try an offend: r by militray commission, or al- low the local civil tribunals to. try, as 1 shall deem best; and you cannot deny the act expressly recoguizes such local civil tribunals as legal authorities for the purposes specified. When you contend there are no legal Iceal tribunals for any purpose ip ‘Lexas, you must either deny the plain reading of the actof Congress or the power of Congress to pass the act. You next remark that you dissent from my declaration, ‘that the country (Texas) is in a state of profound peace,” and pro; ceed to state the grounds of your dissent. They appear to me vot a little extraordi- vary. I quote your words: “It is true there no longer exists here (Texas) any organized resistance to the authority of the United States. Buta large majority of the white population who participated in the late rebellion, are embittered against the Government, and yield to it an unwilling obedience.” Nevertheless, von conceed they do yield it obedience. You proceed : *Noue of this class have any affection for the geverument, and very few any re- spect for it. They regard the legislation of Congress on the subject of reeonstruc- tion as unconstitutional and hostile to their interests, and consider the govern- went now existing here under authority of the United States as an usurpation of their rights. They look on the emanci- pation of their late slavesand the distran- chisement of a portion of their own class, as an act of insult aud oppression.” And this is all you have to present for proof that war and not peace prevails in Pexas ; aud hence it becomes my duty— so You sippose—to set aside the local civil tribunals, and enforce the penal code against citizens by meansof military commissions. My dear sir, I am nota lawyer, nor has it been my business, as it may have been yours, to study the phi- losophy of statecraft and politics. But I may lay claim, after an experience of more than half a lifetime, to some poor knowledge of meu, and some apprecia- tion of what is necessary to social order and happiness. Aud for the fature ot our common country, I could devoutly Wish that no great number of our people have yet fallen in with the views you ap- pear to entertaiu. Woe be to us when- ever it shall come to pass that the power of the magistrate—civil or military—is permitted to deal with the mere opinions or feelings of the people. I have been accustomed to believe that sentiments of respect or disrespect, and feelings of affection, love or hatred, so long as not developed into acts in viola- tion of law, were matters wholly beyond the punitory power of human tribunals. Twill maintain that the entire freedom of thought and speech, however acrimo- niously indulged, is consistent with the noblest aspirations of man, and the hap- piest condition of his race. When a boy, [ remember to have read a speech of Lord Chatham, delivered in Parliament. It was during our Revolatiionary War, and related to the policy of employing the savages on the side of Britain. You may be more familiar with the speech than Igam. If L am not greatly _miscaken, his lordship denouneed the British Gov- ernment—his government—in terms of unmeasured bitterness. He characterized its policy as revolting to every sentiment of humanity and religion; proclaimed it covered with disgrace, aud vented his eternal abhorence of it and its measures. It may, 1 think, be safely asserted that a wajority of the nation | conentred in the views of Lord Chatham. | But- whoever supposed that profound peace was vot ex- isting iu that kingdom, or that Govern- ment had avy authority to Question the } absolate right of the oppositivn to express © propriety of the ® | *alfection” or “respect.” You are con-| The Now Famous Letter to the yersant with the history of vur past par- Governor of Fexas--A Vigorous, | tie, and political straggles touching leg- Manly and Patriotic Docu- | iglation on alievage, sedition, the embur- ment. | go, national banks, our wars with England The following admirable letter was; extent they pieaséd? Tt to show that ese ! vi ment iuthe days of the cldér Adams, or Jefferson, or Jackson, exhibited for either aud Mexico; ‘and cannot be ignorant of the fact, that for one party to assert that a law or system of legislation is unconsti- ‘tational, oppressive aud osurpative, is not a new thing in the United States. That the people of Texas consider acts of Congress unconstitutional, oppressive, or insulting to them, is of vo consequence to the matter in hand. The President of the United States bas anuouneed his opin- ion that these acts of Congress are uncon- stitutional. The Supreme Court, as you are aware, not long ago decided unani- mously that acertain military commis- sion was uncoustitutional. Oar people everywhere, in every State, without re- ference to the side they took during the rebe.lion, differ as to the constitutionality of these acts of Congress. How the mat- ter really is, neither you nor I may dog- matically affirm. If you deem them constitutional laws, and. beneficial to the country, you not only have the right to publish your opinions, but it might be your bounden duty asa citizen to do so. Not less is it the privi- lege aud daty of any and every citizen, wherever residing, to publish his opipion freely and fearlessly “on this and every question which he thinks concerns his in- terest. This is merely in accordance with the principles of our free government; and neither you nor [ woald wish to live un- der any other. It is time now, at the end of almost two years from the close of the war, we should begin to recollect’ what 1 ss." 1 say unhesitat if it were possible that.

History tells us that the Roman pandécts were lost for a loug period among the rubbish that war and revolution had heaped npon them, but at length were dug oot of the rains —again to be regard- ed a8 a precions treasure. You are pleased to state that “since the publication of (my) general orders No. 40, there haa been a perceptible increase of crime and manifestations of hostile feeling toward the government and its supporters,” and add “that it is an un- pleasant duty to give such a recital of the condition of the country.” You will-permit me to say that I deem it impossible the first of these statements can be true, and that I do very greatly doubt the correctness of the second. General orders No. 40, were issued at New Orleans, November 29th, 1867, and your letter wae dated January 17th, 1863. Allowing time for‘order No. 40 to reach Texas aud begeime;generally known, some additional time-wust have elapsed before its effect would be manifested, and yet a further time must transpire before you would be able to collect the evidence of what you term “the condition of the . \ nape comenes manner of people we are; to tolerate agai tree, popular discussion, aud extend some forbearance and consideration, to opposing views. The maxims that iu-all intellectual contesis truth is mighty and must prevail, and that error is harmiess country,” and yet, after all thi-, you would have to make the necessary inves- tigations to aseertain if order No. 40, or something else, was the cause.

This is eminently proper, and will work a great relief to our people Besides our County is out of debt and has money in the Treasury, and there can be no good reason why those holding these claims should wait 12 months. Wok TE. — — Wood Leaves. The Tenth Census of Unity Township is 814 living inhabitants. Further statistics than this, I would like much to publish, but the Census law strictly forbids it. The can- yas was a pleasant one, and, we think, an accurate one. Wedo not think there has ry material increase in popula- ports less now than in °70, but an ex plana- tion for that may be found in the fact that | part of Unity has been taken from her and Tele- | given to Franklin. We see from the Acts of the Special Ses. sion, just received, that considerable changes have been made in the Road Law, some seem to be improvements, others not so. Can it be true that we are not to have the | stock law after all, even in September. We Ithought the New Law was explicit enough, i but the objection is raised that the law. is He arrived at the Boyden House | not operative until that line fence is built. | Again, at our old-friend John Fisher's, | finished and results in the enumeration of Enochville Items. wks _The old proverb of the farmers that “‘an early harvest is always a guod one,” proves just the reverse. this year, in this community. An earlier harvest was never known by the oldest citizens than this | year’s, over half of the wheat being cut in May, and not often do we have a lighter crop. — Thrashing is uow in full blast, and in few weeks the wheat will all be in the garner. Winter oats is good but spring oats is almost.a total failure. Corn ané eotion are very flourishing, fally two weeks eurlier than usnal. Capt. Kneeland informs us that he has just completed. the survey of the propos- ed Tayloravillggnd Wadesboro Railroad from Mt. Pleasant to Big Lick, Stanly county ; and that he expected to survey the road from Big Lick te Wadesboro in a short time. This road is now gs irveyed from Mooresville via Enochville and Mt. Pleasant to Big Lick. After this week we are to have a mail twice a week ; ‘Tuesdays and Saturdays. Why is it that we cannot have a mail route from China Greve to this place, a being hauled around to Mooresville, and sent fo us a distance of twelve miles. The people here have petitioned several times tor the China Grove route and have never asked for the other route. It must be for the personal bevetit of somebody. W. ae ROWAN DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION.

It is not supposed that more [than one fourth of a crop will be made, it having been greatly damaged by the rust. | Wherever we have found fields of the red, rust-proof variety, as we did on the farm of Mr. Geo, Achenbach, we found the crop heavy and entirely free from rust. The weather was becoming fearfully dry, and all growing crops were suffering great- ly. But on Tnesday night we had a very severe storm, accompanied with heavy rain. The storm was the severest we have seen for years, the wind driving from 8. W. to N. E. with fearful velocity. In the mor.ing we found many of our peach trees, heavily laden with fruit, split to pieces or blown down, and scattered about in the cotton and corn tields—the oats which had not been previously cut, looked as if a harrow had been dragged over it. In our late rounds as “enumerator” we witnessed so many evidences of thrift, that it would. be futile to attempt to speak of them all, but we cannot refrain from men- tioning the elegant new dwelling houses recently erected by Mr. Henderson A. Fisher and Mr. Wilson Trott, and the general ap- pearance of taste and thrift surrounding their premises. ° At the premises of Mr. J. A. Hudson, we found a very extensive and well cultivated farm, dotted over with neat tenant houses, the occupants busily engaged on their re- spective sections in the cultivation of vast fields of cotton, corn and tobacco. On this place is probably one of the most extcnsive orchards in the county, embracing almost every imaginable variety of fruit. - On en- tering the extensive gardens, we found thut the proprietor was also engaged to a con- siderable extent in grape culture, and as to \ bill, rise and explain.

Arriving at the spot we found the 1 . . iceeded in getting to the bank and was , winging on to a small twig that happened | \ to be in his reach. The cook, poor tellow, having been thrown broad side into the stream was struggling for dear litevas thous: every minute was his last, and trying to keep his head abovethe water. We had no time to loose, but we had no line to throw him, no life preserver, not even a pole to hand to him, it seemed that the poor cook was doomed to a watery grave. The chief builder finally found a piece of rope laying onthe bank, but unfortunately it liked about 12 feet of being long enough w reach the unfortunate man. He seemed to realize his situation and made one more stragele to save himself. He seized the boat with a death like grip, but unfortunate for him she | had already parted her anchor, and his ef. forts to pull himself upon the keel only drew the boat over him and would have! carried his head under the water if it. had! deen of sufficient depth to have burried his body all at one time. He however got his face downward somehow, and crawled out. The captain attributes the cause of the disaster to the cook's having changed his quid of tobacco from one side of his mouth to the other in an ungarded moment. The cook, however, thinks the captain moved one of his pedal extremitics a little to one side which caused her to creen »nd capsize. After several fruitless attempts to right her up, we finally succeeded, and bailed her out with a beaver hat that one of the crowd wore for this special occasion, another crew was put a board, who steered her sate- ly into harber, She glided alung up the creek with as much case and grace as the Great Eastern would have done under simi- lar circumstances. The boat is 12} feet from stem to stern, 18 inches wide and ta- pering toward the ends. , She is a sucecss and reflects much credit on ber builders. Though our town is inland, we have great reason to congratulate ourselves on our shipyard and infant navy. Pr& C28: ———————_~<- There was a furious and destructive storm in Mecklenburg, Tuesday.

CHarLes FrRaNci8 ADAMS ON PRESIDENET Hares's Titie. — Charles Francis Adams tells a reporter of the New York Evening Fost that he bas seen nothing to alter bis opiniou since he said that Geveral Hayes’s brow was “branded with fraud.” “I haveio sort of sympathy,” he says, ‘‘with the Republican party be- cause of that act, and because it justified and sustaived it. After such av act 1 have no desire to sustain the Republican party inany way. Although General Garfield isa man whom I respect, I could not vote for him on that account.

Not a cheer was mingled with it, nota shout, but the clear, piercing cry that penetra- ted the ear like fhe notes of the fife and the clarinet,’ wavered and rang shudder- ing until the close and heated atmosphere fairly palpitated with its strange, weird tones. It wasa startling episode. Old Confederates pricked up their ears and joined in, as the superannuated charger joined his neigh to the remembered bugle call, heard after many years of peaceful pasturage. Union officers and soldiers who had not listened to the Southern slogan sinep it eame from parched avd heated throats above the gray ranks chargiug the blue on some bloedy, hard- fought field, leaped to their feet, alive with the instinct that announces the near presence of a fue, then, laughing at their sudden alarm joined in the cry. For several minutes the “yell” contin- ued until its long drawn, throbbing notes were broken in upon by the strains of “Yankee Doodle.” Rough and hearty cheers followed, and in a moment, scores of men were seen shaking hands with their quandam foes.

Hancock. a a j His Personal Appearance and Family—Few relations. Hancock in personal appearance is tall, well formed and very handsome. His lieight caunut be less than six feet two inches, aud he weighs full two hundred and forty pounds. He would make the finest-looking President which ever sat in the White house, except possibly, Geo. Washington. His form towers above other men, and attracts attention by bis mere loom wherever he goes. His eyes are black and have a benignant and mild expression when in repose, but inspiring when in danger. His manner is dignified and knightly and he is courtesy itself. He is always magnetic and draws men to |him by his kiudliness and gentle intéreet’ in their affairs, His sympathies are easily aroused and he becomes intensely con- cerned for the sorrows and misfortunes ot others, striving in every way to relieve them,as though the troubles were hig own. Hancock’s kindness to his subordinats al- ways won not only their love, but also their confidence and caused them to rely on him as a friend as well as commander. He gave a mau a good opinion of himself, aud wade each one feel he was of more | importance than he ever before suspected. It was this which caused him to have such power over his officers aud men in battle, and made them prefer rather to die than forfeit the good opinion of their comman- der. Gen. Hancock lad two children, Rus- | sell Hancock and Aun Elizabeth Hancock. The latter died in New York of typhoid fever when eighteen years of age. She Was a young lady of great promise. Rus- sell Hancock, the General’s only son, is living, and is a planter in Mississippi. ee INTERNAL REVENUE. — Washington, June 23.—The gross receipts from inter- nal revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, estimating the receipts for the two remaining days, will be in roand numbers $123,000,000. This is an in- crease of $11,000,000 over last year, and of $3,000,000 over the estimate. The in- crease is derived from whiskgy, cigars and cigaretts. a ee Raleigh Observer, Sunday: What the law- yers call a “long range” case will be tried before one of our magistrates to-morrow. In 1849 a man left an injured horse with a party now living in this city. and borrowed a sound beast, which he took off, promising to return itin a few days. The days length- ened into months and years, but neither horse nor man ever re-appeared. A day or so since the owner of the horse carried off, saw the long missing man in one of the ho. tels here, and though 31 years had passed since the occurrence, recognized him in an instant. A warrant was issued for him, and and the case set for trial to-morrow. The man who took the good horse and left his disabled hack in its stead, soon after the oc- currence, removed to another State, and has lived there eve: since. The case is a strange and a complicated one, and will attract at- tention. i j { es gy Winfield versus Garfield. We are surcto win because we have the wind on the entire field.

Where weshould look for perpetual frost the Kentucky blue grass grows in rank luxuriance, black currents, strawberries and cranberries grow wild and almost ull garden veg- etables flourish. The summer is short but the vgetation luxuriant. The fisheries are unequalled, salmon being caught weighing 60 pounds. Three San Francisco tirms caught 3,- 000 tous of codfish off the Shumajus islands last year. The Alaska com- mercial company has leased the Pri- byloff islands of our government for thirty years at an annual rental of $55,000, while it pays a royality of $262,500 a year on seal skins. ‘Vhis single group of islands has paid into the United States Treasury over $2,- 500,000 since 1801. The total fur product about $1,000,000 a year.

It will be apparent to any one, who will ex- | amine a SOLIy GOLD WATCH, that aside from | the necessary thickueas for engraving and pol- ishing, a large proportion of the precious tuct- | al used, ix needed only to stiffen and hold the | engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually neediers so tar as UTILITY and ! beauty are concerned. In James Boss’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at jrum yne-third io one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. ‘This process is of the most simple nature, as fullows: A plate of nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, bas two plates ot solid gold solder- ed one on each side. ‘he three are then pass- ed between polished steel rollers, ard the re- sultisa strip of heavy plated composition, | from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, | &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and j furmers, The gold in these cases is su fficient- ly thick toadmit of all kinds of chasing, en- graving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.e This is the only Curse Made withTwo Plates of Solid Gold & Warranted by Special Certificate. 22:1y } For sale by J. &H.

In England 'and Germany we see instances at this itime of two or three of these meteor /men who make their age historic. In | this country we have felt the pres- ; ence of at least two, and their great | influence upon their time. There are /a plenty of men who are better than | . : their age or their party, but those who are greater than both are few and far | | between. That Tilden is one of these } | phenomenal men we think is now : » readily acknowledged by all) who | have felt the influence of the subtle power he has wielded over the party during the past few years, and which (80 far from losing force has only | gained additional weight by his with- drawal from the actual leadership. fv this respect he is as much greater than Graut, that other man in this ifair land who stood yreater than his | party, as intellectual aud moral pow- ver is greater than the force of destiny and the mere instincts of brute force.

Tilden, the general met Senator Wallace, of | Pennsylvania, Gen. Franklin, of Con- necticut, and Henry Watterson, of | Kentucky, thisafternoon at. the Gil- isey House by appointment, when the party repaired to the well-known mansion in Gramercy park and were received and = entertained by Gov. Tilden with cordial hospitality. Gen. Hancock and Mr. Tilden had a pre- tracted and agreeable interview, and: in taking his leave, Gen. Hancock accepted an invitation to pay an early visit to Gramercy. The feeling be- tween the two is represented to be exceedingly cordial. No one was present except the gentlemen named, and the interview was unceremonious and unrestrained, ~~ The Freedman’s Bank. “ W ASHINGTON, June 28.—The com- missioners of the Freedman’s Savings Bank announce that they will short- ly pay another 10 per cent. divi- dend to its unfortunate depositors. This will make 40 per cent. in all. The commissioners have liitle expec- tation that the assets will enable them to pay more than 50 per cent. to the depositors. No dividend has been paid since 1878. The commissioners, however, have since thattime ex- pended large sums in caringfor the bank property. They anticipate that the government will buy the bank building, which is now occupied by the Department of Justice and the United States Court of Claims, and isa “white elephant” on the hands of the commissioners, Haxscock McC.uureEIsMs :— General Hanclock is said to have carried on an expensive campaign against the Cheyennes in which he only succeeded in killing two In- dians. That is nothing. In his cam- paign against the rioters in Philadel- phia he didn’t kill anybody ; but he stopped the riot all the same. The Republican organs are aston- ished at the nomination of Hancock, and they are very free'to say they don’t think any man should be nomi- nated for President who has not had experience in civil administration. This is a kind of a. segond thought that has come to them since 1868, when Grant was first nominated, SALISBURY, N. C., JULY 8, 1880. ; , English. a for President and Vice-President. We and therefore give that paper credit for it. to the reader, The nomination of Gen. Hancock and Mr. English seems to have given more general satisfaction to the whole j country than we remember to have notice in regard to any previous selec- tion of President and Vice-President. Being-beth Northern men,and Union ;or war Democrats, their nomination | kills the sectional ery and buries for- sue which have been relied on by the ‘opponents of the Democratic party in every campaign since the close of the late war between the States. | Of course there are some individual | ‘ : | Democrats who were disappointed at ithe nomination of Hanevck because! { they expected and desired the selec- ition of another gentleman, but they will give the nominee as warm a sup- ‘port as they would had their iavorite been nominated. In common with ma _ny good Democrats in this section and elsewhere, we thought now was the | time to take up a good civilian states- |man and elect him, but it may be that ithe best course has been adopted, and j one that will result in the certain sue- icess of the National Democratic party. We congratulate all good people on the present condition of affairs, and the prospect that all sectional strife is to be eliminate from the political can- vass of 1880. The Democrats of the South were once willing to take the notorious an- ti-Southern Horace Greely as the President of these United ‘States for the sake of harmony and promoting prosperity, but the Radicals of the North rejected their old sectional champion simply because the South endorsed him, It remains to be seen whether they (the Northern Radicals) ean defeat a Federal General Union-war Democrat simply because he is acceptable to the Southern De- mocracy. and a No matter who-is pleased or dis- pleased, the Southern States will give a solid vote for Hancock and English, and if Northern Democrats will do their duty, and carry a few Northern State, Gen. W.S. Hancock will be the next President of the United States. Let the Democrats of the Northern States now prove by their works that they are in earnest, and have been acting in good faith to- wards the Soath.—Char. Democrat. eee Wuat THEY THINK OF us.—We never really believed until yesterday that any intelligent people at the North believed in Southern outrages except for campaign purposes. A young gentleman of Providence, R. I., had to attend Judge Strong’s law school and had written tothe Judge to inquire about terms &c. In reply'to Judge Strong’s answer he writes: ‘I would be happy to avail myself of the advantages which your school offers, and if the matter rested entire- wished ly with me would certainly do so. But I must defer to the wishes of my friends. Neither Mr. B. nor myself have been able to prevail upon them to consent to my going South, on ac- count of the generally disturbed state of society which they in common with many of the Northern people believe exists there.’ It is a matter of wonder with some of the newspapers whether General Hancock will resign his army com- mission before election, as McClellan did. It is possible General Hancock may follow the more recent pre- cedent established by General Grant and hold on to his commission until within a few hours of his inaugura- tion, Raleigh Observer: A letter has been received by the Governor, stat- ing that a memorial window is to be placed in Westminster Abbey, Lon- don, in honor of Sir Walter Raleigh, whose name this city bears.

Well, the Democrats are happy.— Boston Herald, Ind. ee ee ee When Gey. Hancock issued his Louisiana Order, President Andrew Johnson well summed up it and its teachings: “General Hancock an- nounces that he will make the law the rule of his conduct; that he will uphold the Courts and other civil au- thorities in the performance of their proper duties, and that he will use his military power only to preserve the peace and enforce the law. When a great soldier with unrestricted power in his hands to oppress his fellow men voluntarily foregoes the chance of gratifying his selfish ambition and devotes himself to the duty of build- ing up the liberties and strengthen- ing the laws of his country, he pre- sents an example of the highest pub- lic virtue that human nature is capa- vle of practicing.” = ames - EXAMINER ITEMS. It is high time the people were casting about for suitable candidates for the Legis- lature and county offices, The people should turn out in their pri- mary meetings and make their sclections without dictation, and then come to the County Convention in mass and ratify their choice. If they will do so, there is no rea- son to fear that improper selections will be made—there is no reason to fear that any but true and tried friends of our cause will be selected—there is no reason to fear that bolters, independents or disorganizers will be recognized. Let the people speak out, and take hold of the matter in a body. An INTERESTING Book.—We have becn shown an interesting book entitled the His- tory of the Yellow Fever Epidemic in Mem- phis in 1878. It was written by Col J. M. Keating of the Memphis Appeal, and is very graphic in its description of the scenes dur- ing the terrible plague. Mr. T. R. Waring, son of R. P. Waring, Esq., of Charlotte, and secretary of the Howard Association, of Memphis at the time of the prevalence of the fever, sent it to Kerr Craige, Esq. With the exception of 500 eopies for gratuitous distribution, the copy right of the book is given to the Howard Association. It will be published and sold by this benevolent Association, and the proceeds devoted to the erection of a monument to the physcians, nurses, and it members who died ja Mem- phis during the scourge. : The book contains an appendix showing a list of the dead and also of the eontribu- tors to the sufferers with the amounts, &c, - The total amount contributed by North SS The Democratic Platform. ‘ [Adopted by The National Convention at Cincinnati, June 24, 1880. } —_— The Democrats of the United States in convention assembled declare: | First, We pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party as illustrated by the teaching and example of a long line of Dem- ocratic statesmen and patriots, and embodi- ed in the platform of tLe last National con. | vention of the party. | | Second.

Fourth. Subordination of the military to civil power and general and thorough reform of the civil service, ° ~~ "7 seseiemangy Fifth. The right to free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be maintained in every part of the United States, Sixth. The existing administration is the representative of a conspiracy only, and its claim of right to surround ballot-boxes with troops and deputy marshals, to intimidate and obstruct electors,and the unprecedented use of the veto to maintain its corrupt and despotic power, insults the people and im- perils their institutions. Seventh. The great fraud of 1876-77, by Which upon a false count of the electoral Votes of two States the candidate defeated at the polls was declared to be President, and for the first time in American history the will of the people sect aside under a threat of military violence, was struck a deadly blow at our system of representative government, the Democratic party, to pre- serve the country from civil war, submitted for the time in the firm and patriotic faith that the people would punish this crime in 1880. This issue precedes and dwarfs every other. It imposes a more sacred duty upon the people of the Union than ever addressed the consciences of a nation of freemen. Fighth. We execrate the course of this administration in making places in the civil service a reward for political crime, and de- mand reform by a statute which shall make it forever impossible for a defeated candid- date to bribe his way to the scat of a usur- per. Ninth. The resolutionof Samuel J. Tyden not to be a candidate for the exalted place to which he was elected by a majority of his countrymen, and from which he was exclud- ed by the leaders of the Republican party, is received by the Democrats of the United States with sensibility, and they declare their confidence in his wisdom, patriotism and integrity to be unshaken by the assaults | of a common enemy, and they further assure him that he is followed into the retirement he has chosen for himself by the sympathy and respect of his fellow-citizens, who re- gard him as one who, by elevating the stand- ards of public morality and adorning and purifying the public service, merits the last- ing gratitude of his country and his party. .

We congratulate the country upon the honesty and thrift of the Demo- cratic Congress which has reduced the pub- lic expenditure forty millions a year; upon acontinuation of prosperity at home and national honor abroad, and above all upon the promise of such change in the adminis- tration of the government as shall insure us genuine and lasting reform in every depart- ment of the public service. —_—__—___ ——> oe a Three Boys Hanged. Bad boys need not go West in order to tind adventure, commit crime and swing into the next world from a gallows tree. Two Chicago boys, aged respectively seventeen and nineteen years, started a year ago forthe Eastin seareh of ad- venture, and they found it before half way here by killing an old man for his money. Then, instead of becoming tre- mendous fellows among hard characters, as boys in books always do when they have killed their man, they spent a year in jail,and yesterday were strangled on the gallows. Another boy youuger than either, left the world in company with the couple. He began his basiness eareer by stealing, and when a companion threatened to teil he shot him.

This disease is pronounced incurable by the medical faculty, and generally fa- , tal within a comparatively short time af- ter the attack. But in the subject of our sketch, it was chronic, covering a space of years, during which he was a con- stant but unmurmuring sufferer. He Was born on the 8th of January, 1811, and son of Archibald Henderson, the eminent, yea, pre-eminent Jurist (for he was with- out a peer in his day), and Sarah Alexan- der, of Cabarsus- county—grandson of Richard Henderson, the colonial judge under the British crown, and whose auto- graph is visible in the Court records of Rowan county—nephew of Leonard Hen- derson, one of the first elected judges on our Superior Court bench—an office first tendered to his brother Archibald, who from pecuniary and other reasons mag- nanimously declined it in favor of his brother Leonard, and brother of Mrs. Jane C. Boyden of Salisbury, so well and so favorably known throughout the State. In December 1840, he married Mary Steele Ferrand, eldest daughter of Dr. Ferrand, of Salisbury. From this union there were ¥ children, but only 3 survive. His edu- cation was liberal. Matriculating first at Yale College, he completed the course of his studies at the University of Virginia. Baptized when young and afterwards Confirmed by Bishop Atkinson, he per- took of the Holy Communion a short time before his death, at the hands of the cel- ebrant, Rev. F. J. Murdock, Rector of St. Luke’s church. He had a profound rev- erence for the Christian religion, but from physical causes, was prevented from at- tending church. His wasa mind of su- perior order ; an intellect of the higher cast; a judgment clear, vigorous and sound. While his mental energy was great, his physical was not. For years he was the Delphic oracle of the Demo- cratic party in the county, and the ac- knowledged leader of that party. He was perhaps the wisest, best read, best posted politician in all this region of country. No man better understood the theory of our government, both Federal and State. No man more adwired it, aud no man was more obedient toits laws. Not ambitions of office, honor, or preferment, he felt in his own case, with Akenside, ‘that the post of honor, was a private station.” But still office sought him. He was elected a mem- ber of the electoral college with Hon. Nathaniel Macon, in 1836. He was a member of the Council of State, under Gov- ernors Reid and Ellis, and Director on the part of the State, of the Western N. C. Railroad, from its organization until the new regime after the war. In gener- al literature, he was well read, and mem- ory rarely proved treacherous to him.— His Bible was always on the table, at which ne sat and read so much, and often did he “search the Sriptares.” Reared in the lap of luxury, enjoying the ‘emolu- ments of a large estate, until the late civ- il war, with no personal ambition to grat- ify, he had no ivcentive to urge him on to the goal of fame. The matchless fame of the father, seemed not to inspire the am- bition of the son. While the father, in the legal profession, stood without a peer and,in the language of Judge Marphy, “was the most perfect model of a lawyer that our bar has produced,” the modest, upassuming son was content with the comfort and delight of his happy home; yet like that father, the faculties of a strong mind and a brilliant intellect in the son, were blended with the most exalt- ed moral feelings, and civic virtues. The petty quarrels, and groveling disputes,and driveling contests of men, were far beneath him, for he soared in the region of pure, exalted, noble sentiment, and there he occupied a standing that was pre-eminent. Having spoken of his mind, what shall we say of his heart? With no disposition to injure others, he forgave others their tresspassesagaiusthim. Possessing great delicacy of feeling, and a sensibility ten- der and refined as that of a lady, his af- fection, for his wife, chiidrev, relations aud friends, always glowed with andying fervor, and whether as husband, father brotber, friend or master, he was all the human heart could wish. He went far- ther than the code of ancient Ethics. For besides, the “‘honeste vivere.” to live hon- estly and honorably—thbe “‘laedere nemi- nem,” to injure no man, and ‘tribuere cuique suum” to give ever his due, (a large and comprehensive cover- inga great portion of the Christian), he believed in and reverenced the one, living and true God. Racked with bodily pain, torture and sufferriog, the greater portion of his adult life, he bore it all without a murmur, and bowed in meek submission to all the dispensations of Providence. Says Addison, in his Spectator, ‘‘there is not on earth a spectacle more worthy, | than a great man superior to his suffer- ee arn me ways glad to receive a friend cordially, His crowning virtue was integrity—yes pure, unblenched integrity, both in thouglit” and action, and if the writer, who knew him well, may be allowed the expression, he was natural Christian—that is, naturehad im- planted in him such high moral principles, that he was in truth a Christian gentleman of the first order. cardinal virtures of St. Paul—he had Faith he had Hope—he had the greatest of the three, Charity or love to God, love to man. In this Faith, Hope, and Love, lre died, and at the General Resurrection he will doubtless receive the bessing vouchsafed throught all Eternity, “Come ye blessed children of my father, receive the’ bleasing prepared for you from the beginning of the world.” * cat in Pace.” Com. DORICULTURe To REstorE OLp Lanp.—By actual "ex: perience I find that ploughing in green crops and a well regulated rotation of crops is the surest and cheapest way to improve worn- out land, always taking care when sowing any kind of crops, whether small grain, peas or clover to plow the land deep. It is not expected that a farmer will take his whole farm through this process at one time, but he may use the best of it for corn or cotton, while he improves a part of it, and change it about, so that in a few years he may im- prove it all. All land cultivated in corn should be sowed in peas at the last plowing ef the corn. No land should be cultivated in cotton more than one year without chang- ing to another crop.—¥. Groom before Me- don Grange, Alabama. Gertine Rip oF THE WeeEvit..—A French writer asserts that his father years ago clean- ed his barns and grain bins of the weevil in the following simple manner: “He placed an open cask impregnated with tar, in the barn and then in the granaries; at the end of some hours the weevils were seen climb- ing along the walls by myriads and flying in all directions from the cask. On moving the tarred vessel from place to place the premises were in a few days completely cleared of these troublesome and pernicioys guests. The farmer who is troubled with these insects may, as he perceives their pres- ence, impregnate the surface Of some old planks with tar and place them as required in his granaries; care must be taken to re- new the tar from time to time in the course of the year to prevent their return.” ae Ticks ON CaTTLE.—Cattle grazing at the outskirts of woods, among brush and shrub- bery, are liable to be covered with ticks, Brushing the cattle over once a week with a mixture of one part kerosene and two parts lard oil, will protect them from the attacks of this vermin. When ticks are found on cattle in considerable numbers, they should not be removed hy force, because in that case the head of the tick will remain imbed- ded in the hide of the animal, and, when in large numbers, will be apt to cause consid- erable irritation and inflammation of the skin. By applying alight coat of lard or a little benzine, by means of a brush to the body of the tick, they generally withdraw their heads and let go their hold on the hide.— Western Farm Journal. ee WATERING Horses.—Do not give a tired horse very cold water, as it often produces colic. Many allow water to stand for some time in buckets. On the road horses should be watered once in ten miles at least. The stomach of a horse is so small, in compari- son to his body, that large draughts injuri- ously distend it; consequently, small quan- ‘tities at regular intervals is the best rule. Always loosen the check rein before giv- ing water toa horse. If watering with a pail, hold it higher than necessary to relieve the neck from the pressure upon the collar. It is not natural for a horse to drink with his head up, any more than it is for a man to get down to drink. a ee eee CLIMATE ConTROLS VARIETIES.—The va- rieties in tobacco are only the result of cli- matic influences, as there is but one species that has ever been cultivated. The differ- ent kinds soon loose their characteristics when planted continuously in any given lo- cality. All varieties of seed leaf are, doubt- less, from the original Connecticut seed leaf, which, in turn, is nothing more than the Havana of Cuba, acclimated in the North- ern States. When these facts are known, it is evident that, in order to preserve the pe- culiar qualities of any variety, it is neces- sary to obtain seed frequently from its orig- inal loeality.— Western Tubacco Journal. ee aay eave ier Kissing is simply the meeting of two pairs of lips.

Local business {men nay afford temporary relief, but in | their ignerauce of the financial standing of the company, they naturally become }uervous and fearful as they feel the | weight of the help they are giving, and a failure to come to time is apt to preeipi- ‘tate movements to secure’ themselves. 'Thisis all yery natural, and although it i may sometimes afford the ground work | of complaints of being hardly dealt with, ‘it cannot be denied that similar actions ‘under similar circamstances is the rale the world over, and the exceptions no ; more rare in the South than elsewhere. It ;isa fact, then, that companies engaged In miping iv North Carolina, must pro- vide to meet business engagements with promptness, in small as well as in large transactions, orencounter the usual secram- bles that men make to proteet themsel- ves against loss, or apprehended loss. If it be true that northern mining com- panies satisty themselves in advance of the probable character of the mine in which they propose to invest money, (and we give them credit for so doing), then, by the judgment of men who profess co be competent to pass on sach matters, the miuing property of North Carolina is worth all the ventures that have been or may yet be made to test their value. No honest company will make an important venture on the mere word of a proprie- tor: but the property is first closely in- spected and subjected to thorough tests. The company’s agent enters the mine and takes from it the ores and subjects them to vasatisfacto1y examination. Noamount of bulling will sella gold) mine to men who expect to werk it and get out of it the purchase money. It must be proven to be all that is claimed for it. The dis- honest work in mine transactious is not done by the North Carolina proprictor who proclaims that he has a gold mine worth selling, He is generally a poor man and sells because he is not able or willing to ineur the expense of working out the property. All the bulling he jean do can ouly elicit a thorongh exami- jnation of his property by men who are of the subject, and a‘sale at any price must be accepted as proof of value. If these promises be true, then North | Carolina mines are worthy the attention of northeru capitalists, notwithstanding a captious man here and there, may say the contrary ; and this brings us to the point we set out to reach. Weare willing to make allowance for the feelings of one ' who hag adventured and failed to realize expectations ; but when he predicates upon that the assertion that there is no mining property in the State worthy of an honest investment of money, he should sce that he brings his judgment in direct conflict with scores of others equally competent to give an opinion, and wha are actually demonstrating the contrary ; fur there are many mines and miners‘in the State. This is an attitude we do not chose to camment on, but it must suggest to any one occupying it duubts as to its propricty, and whether it may not sub- ject him to an- off-hand, criticism. It certainly has no general concurrence, or mining would soon cease to be a business | in the State; wheaeas it has been and is | yet a growing interest, and men esteemed to be wise in such maters, think we are Just now entering upon developments of far greater importance than ever hereto- fore conceived of. Almost every day brings to light the existence of hidden ‘minerals in our hills and valleys, whilst mines which are worked with skill are generally remunerative. 2 2 -er — ress Convention. 4 The Convention met in Asheville, North Carolina on, Wednesday, June 80th, in ac- cordance with an invitation extended by the people of that pleasant city. Wedo not propose to tax the gencral reader with the businees proceedings of the Convention, but will only give some impressions of- the oc- casion, and the reception and general treat- ment af the Press by the hospitable citizens of Asheville. Before we had reached our designation, we were met by Mr. Natt At- kinson, the fruit man of Buncombe. He emptied a basket of fine apples into our car, which was a thing to be appreciated. At the terminas of the Railroad, we were mei by stages, hacks, carriages &c., sent to convey our members to the city—only dis- tant tive miles ota Asheville, the Editors (some peopte AE dem dead heads) were kindly taken eS@ge of, and conducted to the most pleasant homes in the city.

Policeman Albert Bradley, who was formerly a member of the twenty -seventh regiment, Connecticut volunteers, tells a characteristic story af Gen. Hancock. It Was at the battle of Chancellorsville. Officer Bradley’s regiment was on the right of the line, a battery of artillery on the left. The rebels set to work at the battery and rained such a storm of shot and shell upon it that many of the gun- pers were killed and the rest were driven away. Gen. Hancock rode up among the infantry and called for volunteers to man the guns. Officer Bradley and others went forward. Gen. Hancock rode at their head through the terrible fire, He was a picture of manly strength and beanty —truly a ‘‘superb” man.

There is not one of us whose views about discretion touching the relations between politics and money have not been greatly clarified by the events of the past nine All which means, if it means anything, that bribery and theft in con- nection with politics were in the nature years.” of excusable misdemeanors in 1871, but that “we,” who have been “clarified,” think differently now.

Ex- Governor Hendricks presided. Speeches were made by Ex-Governor Hendricks, lion. W. H. English, nominee fer Vice- President, and others. English, in the course of his remarks, said he would ac- cept the nomination when officially ten- dered him, and if clected would) perform his duties in no bigotted spirit. He also said Hendricks would stand high in the confidence of the next Demoratic admin- istration. a eee ee DratTu or Dr. SEarRs.—Saratoga, N. Y., July 6.—Rev. Barnas Sears, D. D LLD., of Staunton, Va., died here at three o'clock thisafternoon, aged 77 years. Dr. Sears had long beeu prominent in educational matters, and was the au- thor of several books on educational sub- jects, and was for many years president of the Brown University at Providenee. When George Peabody gave a fund to promote education in the South, Dr. Sears was nade its manager, with an advisory board of trustees. He then went to Vir- givia. He came here about a month ago for his health. The funeral will take place in Boston. . > —__—_—_—_— One of the reasons given by Senator Don Cameron for so persistently refusing the chairmanship of the National Repub- lican committee is that the position would have cost him not less than $50,000 of his private funds, which may be true and may be not. | Itis probaly a somewhat ex- aggerated statement of thecase. The Cam- erons bet high, however, ona full hand,and there is no doubt in the world that if the candidate. had been a.man by the name of Grant the Senator would have put ap handsomely and taken the chairmanship besides. He evidently looks on Garfield stock as a risky invesment.— Washington Post, ment for Tife. “Mr. Cooper was Sentenced | to be hung at Fort Suith, Arkansas, om fepair, naan — _ we: - — .

The building is in charge of Col. John A. McDonald, who kindly con- ducted as through the premises. It js builtupona solid concrete founda- tion, The granite used in the base of the building was obtained from Warren county, and that used in the body of the same from Rowan county near Salisbury. The entire building is heated by a furnace in the basement which consumes one hundred and twenty tons of coal annually. The various rooms are supplied with hot and cold water, and it takes seven hundred and fifty thousand gallons of water to fill the pipes; a force- pomp being used to force the water up jnto twolarge tanks intheattic, which contain about fifty tons. The furnance runs only about seven months in the year, put the pumps are kept going every day. Capt. W. W. White, Sr., is the Engineer in charge. The poste office department, which is presided over by ex-Gov, Holden, is supplied with all the modern improvements and conveniences, including 780 lock- boxes and 50 drawers’ and a hand- some writing desk in the corridor fot the use of the public in directing let- ters, etc., such as was recently placed in our postoffice. The furniture in all the departments is of solid black wal- nut, and is kept in excellent order. The building, we understand, cost the U.S. government upwards of $300,000. We hope tosee such a building here before many years, the first install- ment of $65,000 having been voted for that purpose.— Wil. Star. > He Laughed Too. From the Detroit Free Press. The Chief of Police yesterday had a visit from a farmer living out on the Chester Line road, who had astory to tell. After twoor three efforts he began; ‘I vhas goin’ home last night vhen I overtakes two men on der roadt. Dose fellers dey laft und saidt would I gif’em aride. I laft too, und say shump in.’ ‘Yes, F understand.’ Pooty queek one feller laft und saidt he likes Dutchmens, cause his uncle vhas a Dutchmans. Dot vhasall right und so I laft too.

Dot tickled me some more, und I laft too.’ ‘Well, what then ” ‘Vhell, den day shumped out und put dier fingers on der noses und says goot pye old Dutchmans, und avhay dey goes like some horse-races.’ ‘And you didn’t laugh at that b’ *Vhell, not pouty much.

Bright and early yesterday morn- ing a blunt-spoken, hearty-looking first citizen of Bebee’s Corner made his appearance on griswold street to look out some lawyer who would de- liver the Fourth of July oration at the Corners. He was business and no fooling. He had been deputized by his fellow-citizens tg make all or- atorical arrangements, and he had de- cided ideas as to the sort of address wanted. He was put in commuunica- tion with a young attorney who had an address of 400 pages of foolscap al! written out fur such an occasion, Af- tera few preliminary remarks the delegate began : “Does your address refer to the struggles of our forefathers ?” Oh, yes, I have seventeen distinct references to their perils, struggles and triumphs.” “Knock ’em right out then —cross out every one of them! Every fool in the country knows that our fore- fathers had to struggle. Of course they did; it was their business to; they have had all the praise due ’em and Bebee’s Corners won't give ’em another word.” “Well, I suppose I can leave out our forefathers,” humbly replied the orator. Very well. Now, what have you in your address in regard to Gen. Washington ?” “Well, I probably mention him forty or fifty times. Washington was a great man, and we must not forget him.” “Strike him right out!” was the flat command. ‘Washington was a great and good man. Bebee’s Cor- ners is as loyal as any town in Amer- ica, but we’ve had Washington till we can’t rest.” The orator made a note of that also, and the other continued : “T presume you have put in a boom for the Declaration of Independence?” “Yes, I never heard of a Fourth of of July oration with that left out.” “Then you are going to learn some- thing new. Bebee’s Corners would howl all day over the sight ofan Amer- ican flag if there was any call for it; but we're going to take anew de- parture. No Declaration of Inde- pendence in our oration this year. Scratch ’er right out.” “That doesn’t leave me five min- utes’ talk,’ said the attorney as he made a calculation. ‘All I have left are a few remarks on the Pilgrim Fa- thers.’ ‘What kind of an oration do you want up there? asked the lawyer as his heart began to sink. ‘That’s what 1’ll tell you. sing?” ‘No,’ ‘Then you are out in the cold. We want an oration lasting just ten mino- utes. We want a sentimental song to lead off, and a funny one toend with. The remarks between the songs can range all the way from ‘Major Jones’ to ‘Pup goes the weasel,’ but they must be funny ail the way through. We are a funny set up there. We go in heavy on conundrums, and we make some of the best puns going. We shall want, say, ten puns, ten conun- drums, two songs and something to warrant about five grins and from seven to ten regular old side-splitters, and the terms will be $15 cash on the nail, Are you the man?’ ‘I—I guess not,’ was the faint re- ply. ‘All right—’nuff said. I’tH move on to the next, and if I can’t strike the chap in this town I'll sail down to Toledo. Bebee’s Gorners is going to git up and how! this year, and don’t you forgit it!’ Can you Ow a WHEELING, W. Va., June 27.— While a Demucratic ratification meet- ing was being held on Capito!

A Constautinople correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says he has reason to believe that the gravest ap- prehensions are entertained at the British Embasey relative to the tarn of affairs in Albania. The population of Nashville, Tenn- easee, is reported to be 43,377. In Hancock and English, 1870 it was but 25,865, James Jamieson did.in Meeklenbarg county on Friday, and buried here to-day. He was for fifty yearsa Meth- odist minister in North Carolina and Virginia, and for many years a col- lege President in Danville. Care or Horses.—Horses hate solitude, and are made savage by being kept alone. Goats ought al- ways to be kept in large stables, because they will face fire, and horses will follow them out though they would not go by themselves. — “He Tould Me ter du It.” A late landed Hibernian was a prisoner yesterday in the Fordham Police Court to answer a charge of assault and battery preferred against him by a neighbor. “Why did you strike the complain- ant ?” asked Justice Wheeler. “Bekase he tould me ter du it,” was the reply. “Oh, you merely obey orders ?” “Yis, Judge.” “Tell me all about it.” “All there ees about it, Judge, ees, we had a little growl, and oi tould him oi’d slap ces face; thin ee jumps ’oop and down and cries three tuimes, ‘Du it, du it, du it.” “And you did it ?” * “Qi did, sur.” “Fine, $10.” “What, arter he’d tould me ter du it?” “Yes ; you had no business to strike him, even at his own request. Got $10?” A friend paid the fine, and the prisoner retired, murmuring to him- self, “a strange cuuntree vi’ve got in- to.” erie ee SocraBitity.—Think how happiness you convey to each other by kindly notice and a cheerful con- versation, Think how much sun- shine such sociability lets back into your own soul. Who does not feel more cheerful) and contented for re- ceiving a polite bow and a genial “good morning” with a hearty shake of the hand? Who does not make himself happier by these expressions of fellow feelings and good will? Si- lence, and a stiff, unbending reserve and vulgar. much are essentially selfish The generous and polite man has pleasant recognition and cheerful words for all he meets. He scatters sunbeams wherever he goes. He paves the path of others with smiles, He makes society seem genial and the world delighted, to those who would else find them cold, selfish and for- Jorn. And what he gives is but a tithe of what he receives. Be social wherever you go, and wrap your lightest words in tones that are sweet and a spirit that is genial. a Russians at Court. In the Romanoff gallery at the winter palace at St. Petersburg the attention of the visitor is attracted by a green cur- tain on one of the walls; it conceals a table inscribed with the very curious rules which Catharine the Great caused to be observed at assemblies. These regu- lations were as follows: I. Leate your rank outside as well as your lat, and especially your sword. 2. Leave your right of precedence, your pride and any similar feeling ouside the doer. 3. Be gay; batdo not spoil anything; do not break or gnaw anything. 4. Sit, stand, walk as you will, without reference to anybody. 5. Talk moderately and not very loud, so as not to make the ears and heads of others ache. 6. Argue without anger and without excitement. 7. Neither sigh nor yawn, nor make anybody dull and heavy. 8. In all innocent games, whatever one proposes let all join. 9. Eat whatever is sweet and savory, but drink with moderation, so that each oue may find legs on leaving the room. 10. Tell no tales out of school; whatever goes in oneear must come out at the other before leaving the room. A trans gressor agaiust these rules shall on the testimony of two witnesses, for every offense drink a glass of cold water, not excepting the ladies, and, further, read a page of the ‘Telemachiad’ aloud. [The ‘Telemachiad’ was the work of a very feeble and evideutly much despised poet named Treadiakoffsky.] Whoever breaks three of these rules during the same evening shall commit six lines of the ‘Telemachiad’ to memory, and whoever offends against the tenth rule shall not again be admitted.” a LEIGHTON, Pa., June 28.—George Dick was found dead in the grave he was digging in the Catholic Ceme- tery this morning, His Death was caused by suustroke.

It is to this early practice in the great art of arts that Iam indebted for the primary and leading impulse that stimulated me for- ward, and shaped and molded my entire subsequent destiny.

Cassar eontrolled men by exciting their fears, Cicero by captivating their affections and swaying their passions. The influence of the one perishes with the author; that of the other continues to this day.” ~~~ It is reported that the real cause of Mr. Christiancy’s ill feeling toward his wife arose from the fact that during the honeymoon Mrs. C. used to ran after him singing: Goosey !

Some say we should nominate certain men this year to secure harmony in the party-—in order to succeed. Great God! has it eome to this? Are we after the spoils instead of principles? Are we to condone crime and vote for bolters, life- long disorganizers and trimmers, rather than condemn it and vote for true men who have spent their lives in defense of honest government? If great principles are worth nothing—if policy ia to be the watch word, and the spoils the object. of triumph, then it matters very little which party succeeds. This applies as well to the connty officers as to the nation- al. It is not availability the country needs, policy is not the creed, the spoils of office will give no relief to the tax-ridden, op- pressed,and misruled people. Thethief,the despot, and the sneak may wear the check- ed cloak of availability, policy is the ene- my of principle, the emoluments of office is the glittering price of the unscrupulous politician, the reward of the boot-lick and the knave. There is something high- er, nobler and more essential to be gained in this contest. Great principles which underlie and constitute the fundamental the States, the liberty of the citizen, hon- est administration, equal and just taxa- tion, non-protective tariffs, and the pro- tection of labor from movopolies. We know that cowardice will’shriak from this neble task, and that sloth will lie down in the gutters of sleep, while the mere demagogues of party will skulk about in by-places, hunting after the favoring currents of “policy” to set them over into the ocean of “spoils ;” but the true patriot, the real friend of the sys- tem our fathers established, will neither skulk. nor go to sleep, nor dodge about ‘is to the work of a lifetime, to thé busi- ness of spreading the truth, and vindicat- ing the immutable principles of justice and right.

The custodians of the public purse- so many éf them as faver- ed that scheme or profited ‘by it—put their habds into the purse to help’ them- selves t6 money which did not belong’’ to them. We are well aware that those who were implicated in tiat outrageous pro- ceeding were not all Republicans. But if Democrats get caught in Repablican traps they mnst take the consequences. It has been shown that, while Mr. Gar- field very artfully contrived to appear on both sides of the question, so as to be able to fix up a plausible defense for use amoung his constitnents, he was, in reali- ty, the most inflaentidl agent in carrying the measure through. He had it in his power to defeat the bill at either of sev- eral stages through which it progressed toward consumation. Bat so far from defeating it, he made sttre of its snecess by calling up the Appropriation bill at a night session, when many of its oppo- nents, having been assured that it would not be called up, had gone home and in their beds. The record makes Mr. Gar- field appear in the bad light of an inten- tioual deceiver, who got the enemies of the steal out of the way by a promise which he did not intend to keep. It is true that Mr. Garfield put the money back into the Treasury when he found what a tempest of popular rage had been created. But he bad previously tried to unload it on an institution of learning, thus showing that he claimed it as his own property. These are the facts, and the country will pass on them.

It is rumored that he seht word to the sheriff of Darlington county yesterday that he need not come to ar- rest him, as he would go down when- ever he got a note from him. There isa general expression of horrible regret at the duel and its fatal result, and it is rumored that another meeting between Col. Shan- non’s sonand W. B. Cash, Col. Cash’s son, is contemplated, and that there was an agreement between the Shan- nons father and son, that if the father fell in the fight, the son should take up the quarrel. At Cheraw universal regret is ex- pressed at the sad termination of the difficulty at Bennettsville, and in Marlboro there is much feeling against Col. Cash. At this place and in the county Iam informed that there is great excitement and a feeling of gen- eral indignation against Col. Cash. Coroner Goodale held an inquest yesterday and to-day. The verdict of the jury was that, “from the evi- dence brought before us, Wm. Shan- non came to his death from a_pistel shot wound, said pistol being fired by E. B. Cash.” Coroner Goodale im- mediately issued a warrant for the arrest of Col. Cash, directed to Sher- iff Doby, who has transmitted the same to the sheriff of Chesterfield county for execution. How She Found Out. —— It was one of the most provoking and unaccountable things ever heard of. Lina Rivers had two lovers, and, for the life of her she couldnt’ tell which of them she loved best, or if she loved either. But if it were per- plexing to Lina, it was doubly so to the two candidates for her favor, Har- ry Byrne and William Goodwin, who, however willing to give each other fair play, were as much in earnest as men are apt to be in such matters. To do Lina justice, she distributed her smiles very equally between them, she was always willing to talk to both, aud apparently as happy with one as the other.

And yet the sound of the closing door fell heavily on her heart. ‘So Mr. Byrne is fairly off at last; said a lady acquaintance to Lina, the next day. “I just met him on his way to the station to catch the two o’clock train for Cliffdale. Goodwin is going to be the happy man, I see. Now I always thought your choice would fall on Harry.’ ‘I don’t know that I’m obliged to have either,’ said Lina, laughing, but with an indescribable sinking at the heart. How little do women show of their real thoughts and feeling! Never did Lina rattle away more carelessly and gaily than after receiving this unexpected news. Just before dinner, as Lina was sitting alone with her mother, in burst her brother James. ‘There has been a terrible accident mother! The two o’clock train to Cliffdale ran into a luggage train and killed I don’t know how many! There’s an extra train going to their relief; and they want all the linen bandages and cordials that can be had.’ Away bustled kind-hearted Mrs. Rivers, to get whatever the house af- forded, leaving poor Lina with a dumb horror in her set eyes and pal- id face that no language could ex- press. Going to her room, she hur- riedly put on her things but how she hardly knew. ‘Killed she moaned, as she hurried towards the station; and it is I who sent him to his death! Oh, Harry! Harry ! now indeed I know; but ah, too late. As Lina turned the corner of the station in her blind haste, she ran’di- rectly into the arms of a gentleman who was coming from an opposite di- rection. ‘Lina ?’ Lina gave a wild cry of joy, as she looked into the face of the speaker. ‘Oh, Harry! can it be you? she gasped, ‘I thought you were in the train, aod killed !’ ‘I was five minutes too late for the train, Lina.’ As a matter of course, Harry went home with Lina and curiously enough he chose the longest route he could have taken. “So you really do care for me a lit- tie, Lina?’ he said, looking down into her flushed tear-wet face. ‘I like you a great deal, Harry,’ was the low and tremulous reply. ‘Please bend your head, so I can whis- per in your ear.” ‘Well, darling ? ‘I think—yes, I am sure that I have found out.’ ‘Found out what?’ exclaimed the young man. ‘Found out who it is that is dearer to me (han all the world besides,’ ‘Tell me his name ?” Lina hid her flushed cheeks upon her lovers shoulder. ‘Oh, Harry ! can’t you guess?” she said, iu a low, earnest tone. ‘It is you—you!

On the 12th inst., he had accom- plished 134 days in fasting. We do not know exactly what his object is, unless to demonstrate the fact that the human SY5- tem is capable of enduring much more in the way of fasting than is generally snp- posed.

Then they had no dream he would ever be their candidate for the presidency or anything else, and their indignation against him and his dishonest acts boiled over, and they bespattered him with dis- graceful epithets, antil they poriticttly killed and buried him, as they thought, forever. But now the funny part of the business is in unsaying all they said against him, and in Tifting him oat of the ignominious grave Into which they had plaunged him with their own willing hands, and in their weakhearted endeavors to breathe into him vitality enough for a Re- publiean President. 0, it is aheavy job, and they go at it with faces all awry. Some of them are working for party sue- cess without calling the name of the ean- didate at all, like a fellow who holds his breath when lifting something that don’t smell sweet, It is not a plasant thing to be driven to the performance of hated work—jobs which offend the eyes and nostrils of men; and the fellows in this hard case certainly havea very hard time of it, especially when other fellows have the liberty to stand around and make ro- marks while the job isin hund. This is just what Democratic editors North and South are doing for the Garfield men who don’t Hike the work they are doing. School boys were never more ingenious in plan- ing or plotting torments on each other when there was a chance for fun. But if Garfield won the seorn and con- tempt of his own party friends seven years ago and has doue nothing since to purge ‘himself, as all know he has not, there is a& very grave question anderlyimg the '*fun” alluded to above, aud that is: Is it possible that the Republican party with a notorious bad record of its own, has the audacity to present to the Ameri- can people as a candidate for the Presi- | deney a man whom they themselves have | denounced tor bis political aud public vil- lainies! No amount of white-washing they can do will hide the marks of dis- grace worn by their candidate. And when it is considered that their efforts ip this direction are only for the sake of par- ty success, and not for truth and patriot- iste, the insult to the American people as- sumes a form and gravity which should challenge their most unequivocal resent- ment. en eae Spee ae THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.—A correspondent of the Winston Sentinel prSposes asa comproutise between the | friends of Hon.

Tlins far the obly discordant note which has been sounded in the Republi- ¢an canvass has been caused by alleged movements iv the Sherman camp. Usnal- ly, defeated presidential candidates hide their wound, if they have any, and dis- appottitment by worktug heartily for! the successful competitor. Unless Sec- | retary Sherman is misrepresented — or | is most unfortunate in his manner of making removals, he has cherished the | fleeting animosities of the preliminary | canvass. The abrupt removal of Com- | missioner Raum’s power of appointment, | the trouble over the snpersedure of the | United States district attorney for Ala- | bama and the late displacement of Col. | Lewis, the colored naval officerat New Or- leans, are all unfortanate, to say the | least. These ijucidents are seized upon by Secretary Sherman’s critics as evi- denee of his lang surviving vindictive- | ness. They give rise to rumors of a lack | of harmony in the Republican party. | And if they are defensible on gronnds of sound public policy, explanation caunot | come too svon.—New York Times, Rep.

Is it hard to see what a person’s contribution to the Chicago relief fund has to do with his qualifications for the office of vice president. When the Republicans are reduced to such straits in their anxiety to to attack a man’s character, it may be concluded that they are hard run indeed. It is worthy of note that the Democratsdo | not have to apply to the list of contribu- | tors to the Chicago sufferers to find) ma- terial upon which to base charges against.

The Hall was nicely arranged—seats, re- freshment standa and promenade. The assemblage—though not as large as ex- pected—was composed of the best peo- ple in the eity, and the geveial appear- auce was more like a social parlor party than a public affair. The most prominent feature of the evening, was the balloting for the most beaatiful young Jady.

Candidates for the Legislature. Editor of the Watchman: It is time Democrats of Rowan were be- ginuing to consider who should be their candidates for the Legislature in the en- suing campaign, This is) an important vear in polities. We ought to have at least one man of inpflaence to represent i this county iu the next General Assembly. That body will make pew Congreasional and Senatorial districts, and will also de-' termiue how many members each county shall have in the lower House of the Gen- eral Assembly. We ueed a ian of abill- ity, State reputation, courtesy and tact, tu guard our interests, and take care that onr county shall suffer no detriment.— We have one man who, in my opivion, is peealiarly well qualited to discharge the duties of the responsible position of a member of the House of Represeutatives. He isa young gentleman of the highest character and qualifications, and of indus- trious and stadions habits. He is a sev- sitle and fluent speaker, and I am sure he will makea splendid canvass of the county. He is very well and favorably known throughout the State, having. deservedly acquired much reputation while acting for seveial years as Private Secretary to the Governor. And I think he would wield an influence in the Legislature great- er than any man it the county whe will accept the position. It is scarcely neces- sary to add that I allude to our distin-| guished young fellow citizen, Mr. Lee S. Overman, of Salisbury. . “'Tdo not intend any disparagement tu any other aspirants when I suggest to | the primary meetings of the be veral town- ships the prepriety of selecting him, as one of the Democratic candidates for the Leg- islacure.

Watchman. Dear Sir? The abdve named gentleman has becti declared the ' Choice of this-Con ional District bya majority of the counties in the District. ' These counties have held their Conventions after giving the people a chance to come out. They have declared for Robbins with a unanimity that gives no uncertainsound. No man of honor has dared to raise his voice and question the fairness of the Conventions recently held in Rowan, Davie, Forsyth, Yadkin, Surry and Iredell. These counties having a majority of the 14 votes which the Congressional Convention casts pive Robbins the nomination. His friends know as his enemies do, that he already has the endorsement of the District for Congress. The rumor now is, that the author of that saintly “Open Letter,” followed it to Yad. kin county. and is attempting to disturb the action of the Yadkin Convention which instructed for Robbins. The truth is, that when the Yadkin Convention was held, af- ter several weeks notice, a mipority of the Townships were not represented. Robbins’ friends offered to delay the convention and have the non-represented Townships repre- sented. Armfield’s friends opposed this and demanded the Convention to be held, and the result was that Yadkin went overwhel- mingly for Robbins. Yet the author of the “Open Letter,” who wrote that the man who wins votes by solicitation is as corrupt po- litically, as if he paid tor them with a five- peund note,” hardly let the ink dry on his paper, before he was off to Yadkin to “so- licit votes” by attempting to do what his friends acknowledged to be impossible, viz: to gct a part of Robbins’ strength in Yad- kin! Consistency thou art a jewel. Now Mr Editor, to be plain, and as_ sen- sible as we can, these are the facts: Rob bins was literally—while he was the over whelming choice of this district—cheated out of the nomination at Wilkesboro in “74 The counties had no sufficient notice of the meeting of Billy Cowles’ Convention. A few Armfield men in some of the counties knew when that Convention was to meet and went. Fellows who had axes to grind, you Know, and who lived in some of the towns, could get letters from Mr. Cowles and others and vo to that Bogus Conven- tion. But the people didn’t know about it— else Robbins wou'd have been nom'n «ted by acclamation. Yet Robbins allowed Armfield a chance. and made speeches for him and helped to elect him. Yet the peo ple repudiated the action of that Conven- tion at the polls by letting our majority down to 835. These are the tigners. Arm- field ‘nan off year got 835 majority over Brower—Robbins got in an off year about 4,200 majority. Sir, Robbins can get 3000 more democratic votes in this district by the above showing, than any other man the democrats can bring out. Figures do not lie. Robbins’ counties which bave to. this time gone solidly for him, cast teco-thirds of the democratic strength of the district. (See the Tilden-Vance vote.) Certain aspirants wonld fain raise the ery: “anything to beat Robbins.” Bat the people know that they are for self -soup in their own bowl—and are not deceiv- ed. The Radicals are for Armfield’s nomi- nation. They, too, ery, “anything to beat Robbins.” But the great business, labor- jing masses of this country are opening their eyes. They see that a majority of 835 Is easily overcome, That such aman as Wheeler, Dr Ramsay or Judge Furches, backed by the office-holders and the pressure of a vigorous ‘State campaign, can imperi) our success if Robbins is out of the way. Certain men are solow-minded and nn- principled as to falsely mike the point that Robbins is a candidate of a certain chureh, Such men have as little regard for decency as they have for the truth, the masses are not deceived. They know Robbins’ liberal views and that he has carried them into practice by the most | plo tigal benevolence, irrespective of creed or faith. This is not the time for strife. Robbins sheen fairly declared the choice of the sustiiet. He is the only man that ean Waity the Demoeratic party. A few Arm- field men will be sore over his nomina tion, because it condemns their course at | Wilkesboro, but Robbins will sweep the / District with 5,000 majority. The mass- }es are standing at his back. They don’t feare for men specially. They want a graud rally, and they know Robbins is theoman to wet it up .and they are going to wave him.

A | place once known as Fishers, now Hairs- ;ton’s Milla. A p.ace unsurpassed iu this j section of the state for its bold, grand ‘and attractive scenery. THE OBJECT of the pinnie is pot alone to have a holi- day, enjoy a feast of fat things and have fa social time with old friends, nor is it solely for the purpose of enjoying a liter- ary feast. But the object is higher and lmore holy. It is, that the people may vaderstand and know, what already lias | been and what can be accomplished to- ; wards ameliorating the condition of tbat lelass of poor unfortunates who are found lin every connty and community. That the people may hear and see and feel the , work that is taid at their own doors.

He is well known all over the state as a large hearted benevolent man, consecrated to the orphan work. One who tills every nook and erevice of the chair to which he has been called and whose place if he should be provi- dentially called away it would be almost impossible to fill, He brings with him achapter of Orphans who will shew the people how much can be accomplished in a short time by suchas Prof. Mills and his able corps ofass 8 ants wheu the head and heart work together.

WBC: ROWAN COUNTY. BY J. R. MOSES WINSLOW AND ALEXANDER OSBORNE. The south-western corner of old Rowan county was occupied by a noble and patri otic race of people one hundred years ago. Phere you will find the original home of faniilies known by the name of Davidson, Reese, Hughes, Ramsay, Brevard, Osborne, Winslow, Kerr, Rankin, Templeton, Dickey, Braley, Moore, Emerson, Torrence, Houston.

He settled on the headwaters of Rocky River and call- ed bis place “Belmont.” A neighbor of his selected for his residence the name of “Mt. Mourne,” after a mountain in Ireland, An- other, not to be outdone in names, called his [first years of the war. place “Purgatory!” These names are still familiar to the people of that section.

Hugh MeAden stopped in 1755, and preached at the "New Meeting House’ near by, (Centre). Here about the same time was established the “Crowfeld) Academy,” where David Caldwell taught a few years later In Centre Church yard is a double headstone, telling the inguirer that Alexan- der Osborne died on the Ith of July 1776. and his wife Aynes, two davs earlier. He probably never heard of the Declaration of Independence made seven days before his death, He had gone to a brighter world where the alarms of war never come. These parents left two children, Adlai Osborne, and Jean Osborne. Adlai was graduated at Princeton Collese in 1768.

Benjamin Winslow, or Winsley, as it was | first written, obtained a grant of 825 acres | of land, “on both sides of the South Fork | of Davises Creek -—waters of Catawba River” | under date of May 11th,1757. A stillearli-| er grant to Benjamin Winslow, under date | of March 25th, 1752, is for 587 acres, in the | saine neivborhood, adjoining lands of John McConnell. This is described as lying in Anson county, Parish of This was be- fore Rowan was erected into a county. In 1758, Benjamin Winslow, Sr.. makes a deed | of gift to his son Benjamin Winslow, Jr., of | 535 acres. a Goining the lands of Hugh Law- | von, Patrick Hamilton, Mfrs. Baker and | Moses White.

He was distinguished for his bravery, | energy and talents and was a Briga vier Gen- | eral inthe Creek war. Ilis illustrious son, | Hugh Lawson White, was a Judge of the | Supreme Court of Tennessee, a Senator of | the Uu'tel States, President of t e Senate, and in 1836, a candidate for President of! the United States. His remains sleep peacc- | fu ty under the vines and grass of the Church yard of the First Presbyterian Church of Knoxville. From these deeds and other sources, we learn that Benjamin Winslow had three children, Benjamin, Moses and Mary. Of these we propose to record a few facts. Alexander Osborne and Benjamin Win- slow were near neighbors, living only two or three miles apart. As a matter of course their boys, Moses and Adlai, were early com- panions and associates. Adlai Osborne had a fair young sister—pretty Jean Osborne, the rose of Belinont. It was the same o!d story told under the leafy oaks of Rowan, and pretty Jean Osborne became the bride of young Moses Winslow. This was in 1760. They settled upon some of the Winslow lands. according to the custom of the day; for the original settlers, tinctured with Eu- ropcan notions, rarely gave land to their daughters, but divided the inheritance not far from Centre Church—the property ee S rok zs tes ay children, Bug eventfubyett 6. came the rst child aoe fer’ ie! ‘a named Dovey. She grew up to’bea beauty and belle of tha’ on. heart was at length won by Dr. oseph “ae Alexander, son of John 'McKuitt Alexander. Her life was not a Jon one, but she left one son, Moses Winslow lexander, who lived about ten miles north of Charlotte on the Statesville road. Some of his children are still Tiving. On the first day of Febroary, 1771. Cor- wallis’ troops crossed thé Catawba River and marched towards Salisbury. In their march several houses were burned down. When they reached the house of Moses Win- slow, knowing that he was a prominent man, 8 member of the Provincial Congress, and on the Rowan Committee of Safety, the soldiers applied the torch to his residence. At the sawe time some ruffian soldiers were endeavoring to eut from Mrs. Winslow the Capacious outside pockets, so fashionable in that day, in which she had deposited some of her household valuables. While she was helpless!y submitting to the indignity Lord Cornwallis himself rode up, and in obedi- ence to the instincts of an English gentle- man, ordered them to desist, and to extin- guish the tire kindled against the house. Moses Winslow lived to be 88 years of age. He and his wife sleep in the grave yard of Centre c!iurch; where her father and mother are resting side by side. Besides their berutitul daughter, Dovey, they had two other daughters mamed Cyn- thia and Roscinda. The reader may have remarked that while these venerable pio- neers were apt to name their sons after one of the twelve patriarchs or twelve apostles, or some other prophet, with now and then a seclection from the kings of England, they gave poetical or fanciful names to their daughters—-Cynthia, Roscinda, Lillis or Ju- lictte. Cynthia Winslow was married to Samuel King, and was the mothér of the well knownand talented Junius and Albert King. Roscinda Winslow married her cousin William J. Wilson, and their daughter, Mary Wilson, became the wife of Ezekiel Polk—the grandfather of the President, James Knox Polk. Ourillustrious North Carolina states. man.the late Hon. Wm. A. Graham, was also a desecndent of Mary, the sister of Moses Winslow. So likewise was Ool. Isaac Hayne of Charleston, with numerous other promi- nent and influential citizens. The old home- stexds have fallen to ruins, and the plow- share of strangers, who never heard the names of these noble old families, runs sinoothly over the ground where their altar fires once burned brightly. Emigration has borne them away, and in new States the old namesare tound. But North Carolinashould treasure up their history as an incentive to noble deeds in days of trial - et to come. Before closing these sketches, I must put on record all that is known here of the his tory of one who left his name on the records of our Courts and Committees, WILLIAM KENNON appears prominent among the actors in pub- lic affairs at the opening and during the He was a lawyer, and it is supposed that he came to Salisbury from Wilmington, or from some other por. tion of eastern Carolina. On the 25th of Anonst 1775, he represented the town of Salisbury in the Provincial Congress at New- bern. As early as the 8h of Angust of 1774, he was chosen asa member of the Rowan Committee of Safety, and on the 27th ot September of the same year, he appears as chairman of this Committee, with Adlai Osborne as Clerk. Col. Kennon was a very zealous patriot, and his name appears among the siguers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of May, 20th 1775. The appearance of his name on that paper can be accounted for ‘only on the theory that the Mecklenburg patriots had no very rigorous committee on credentials, on that occason. Col. Kennon scems to have been the prime mover in the abduction of John Dunn and Benj. Boothe Boote, Esqrs. Whether the young lawyer, so popular among the people, was jealous of the old lawyers, who got the most of the legal business of Salisbury, or whether the old lawyers, always the most conservative. and constitutional sticklers for precedent, moved too slowly forthe ardent patriotism of the young lawyer, it is impossible at this late date to determine. But this much ap- pears to be true—that somewhere about August 1774, Johy Dunn, B. B. Boote, Wal- ter Lindsay and one other man signed a pa- per containing a general declartion of fidel- ity, allegiance, obedience and submission to the British acts of Parliament. This paper scems to have been a kind of private protest against rebellion, kept by Mr. Boote for fu- ture emergencies. The parties signing it do not avpear to have taken any public steps against the movement then in progress, but as crown officers, contented themselves with the quiet discharge of duty. The pa- per, however, or a copy of it, got out among the people, and aroused suspicion. At the instance of Col. Kennon, Dunn and Boote were hurried off in the night to Charlotte, thence to Camden and ultimately to Charles- ton. The conduct of Col. Kennon was deem- ed arbitrary and malicious by some of the citizens of Salisbury, and Dr. Anthony New- }man, and others, men of unimpeachable pa- triotism, presented a petition to the Com- mittee embodying the idea that the affair was arbitrary and malicious. Be that as it may, Dunn and Boote never got a hearing, though they prayed to be heard, and were kept in confinement for many weary months in Charleston. Just at this point it becomes necessary to correct an error which Col. Wheeler pub- lished and which has been repeated by other writers since. It is that John Dunn and B. B. Boote never returned te North Carolina, but after the war was over settled in Florida. This leaves these two gentle- men in the attitude of permanent disaffec- tion to the cause of American liberty. But there is abundance of proof in the Re- cords of the Rowan Court to prove that both returned and conducted themselves as good and patriotic citizens, at an early period of the war of Independence, In March, 1777, Bb. B. Boote bought a tract of land in Salis- bury and proved a deed in open Court. On the 8th day of August, 1777, Mr. Boote took the oath of expurgation for disaffected or suspected persons. On the same day, August 8, 1777, Joln Duna, Exq.. took the required oath of an attorney in the State of North Carolina, and shortly after this date he became State’s Attorney for Rowan county. Certainly at this period there remained not the least! lingering doubt of his svmpathy with the cause of American frecdom. Still further. on the 8th of August, 1781, five months af- ter the battle of Guilford Court House, Jno. | Dunn and Matthew Troy, Esqrs., were ap- pointed Commissioners by the County Court, Adlai Osborne being chairman, to repair the Court Honse in Salisbury. From this it wouid appear that all suspicion or unfriend- liness, it any ever existed, had vanished from the mind ot the high toned Osborne. Mr. Dunn died in Salisbury in the early part of 1783. Letters of administration on the estate of Jolin Dunn were granted to Frap- cis Dunn and Spruce McCay on the 25th of March, 1783. ‘The traditions of his family relate that he was taken sick while pleading acase in the old Court Honse, where the Public Square in Salisbury is, and that he was carried down toa Hotel belonging to Wm. Temple Coles, where Kluttz’s Drug Store now stands. After lingering awhile he passed away. His body was interred on his own landa near Dunn's Mountein. No man knows where his grave is. but the onl. his, unknown grave, b for a quarter of a ceh 8 latrels ; the leading lawyer of the Salisbury Bar.

Furthermore Dunn and Boote were men of great influence, and the easiest May to dispose of them was to send them away without a hearing. No doubt, if granted a hearing they wou!d have clear. ed themselves of all acts or purposes of hos- tility to American liberty. But this the Committee did not know. Col. Kennon, being the leader in this affair seems to have removed from Salisbury to Georgia, at or about the time that Dunn and Boote return- ed. So fur as known to the writer he lived an honored and useful life in the State of his adoption. One of his descendents, was in Salisbury a few years ago. But he knew little of his ancestor, Authorities: Mrs. HM. I. in Southern Home—Hunte~'s W. N. C.— Wheeler—Re- cords of Rowan Court—Miss C. B. 2 Cheraw and Wedesboro Railroad. Correspondence Charleston News and Courier. Cureraw, S. C., July 6.—The new rail- road from Cheraw to Salisbury, N.C., has been finished as far as Wadesboro.’ A special excursion party passed over the line to-day which I accompanied. This road was first projected by Colovel Allan MacFarlan, former president of the Che- raw and Darlington and also the North- eastern Railroad in 1857, the object being to furnish a more direct and expeditious route tothe coal fields ou Deep River, Chatham county, N. C., there to connect with a read from Raleigh, originally call- ed the Chatham Road, and form a through middle line from Charlestou to the Norih for frieght and passengers, At present the road has vo equipment, but is iun by the stock of the Cheraw and Darlington Road, the trains running through from Florence to Wadesboro’. One year ago all the timber used in its constraction was grow- ing in the woods, and some doubted, while many opposed, the success of the undertaking. The road rans through Chesterfield county for ten miles, and for fifteen miles throngh Anson county, N.C. It connects with the Carolina Central at Wadeshoro, which runs from Shelby to Wilmington, a distance of 280 miles. When the Cheraw road is built throg' to Salisbury, it will strike at that place the Western North Carolina. One of the principal cotton buyers of Wadesbero assured me to-day that at least 10,000 bales of - cotton would shipped to Charleston next season from that point. Between 8,000 and 9,000 bales were sold at Wadesboro during the last season, the bulk of which went to Charleston. I have the same au- thagity for saying that the trade of the city will be increased at least $300,000 by this new road. Anson county cotton always brings the top of the market, and often goes over the highest market quo- tations. A namber of turpentine distilleries have been established op the lower part of the railroad near Cheraw, and naval stores of a very five quality will be ship- ped to Charleston. Ausou county pro- duces the finest hay, which will be traded in the Charleston market. There is also an ivexhaustible supply of building granite and red sandstone along the line of the road, large tracts of fine timber, and some promising indications of gold bearing quartz. From Cheraw to Morven, some 15 miles, there is a clay slate of no practical use; then for about eight miles a field of granite answering in many re- spects to the Columbia grauite and said to bean extension of the same deposit: and then for about two miles there is a fine red sandstone, corresponding with the same formation as the Deep River ledge in Chatham connty, N. C., whieh was surveyed by Commodore Wilkes in 1856, and was declared by Lim to be very rich in bituminouscoal. No thorough investigation of the sandstone formation in Anson county has yet been made, but it certainly coutains some traces of coal which may open up a new source of wealth in the future. ee ae ONE OF THE First.—On the 17th of June, 1880, says the Charlotte Democrat five days before the meeting of the Na tional Convention at Ciucinnati, Mr. E.

I was too bashful by half. l pever used to kiss a girl at busk- ings or quilting frolics without feel- ing ag if some one was pouring hot water down my back ; and once, when a neighbor's daughter stayed at our honse till nine in the evening (I be- lieve she did it on purpose, too,) and my father insisted that I should go home with her, I went out in the barn and cried sn hour before I could make up my mind to go in and ask her the awful question, The girls used to laugh at me some ; but after all they seemed yery willing to help me along; and so, when my nineteenth birthday came, I looked at myself in the glass, and says I: ‘Josiah, it’s no use; you’re darned good looking, and you might have any girl you wanted. You ought to go a-courting, Suppose you begin to- night? From that momont the idea got in- to my head and there it stayed, I dressed up and went to church, jost as T always did, but I couldn’t attend tothe minister, nor the ser- mon. I sat mighty uneasy, and father watched me out of the corner of his eye, though he never said a word. He knew plaguy well what I was think- jog of for he’d been there himself! Deacon Billings’ pew was right in front of ours, and he had just the prettiest girl for a daughter that ever wore a bonnet, I watched her awhile that day, and concluded I liked the way she managed things pretty well. Bo, after supper, thinks I; ‘T’ll go over to the old deacon’s and gee how they’re getting along.” Father saw me sprucing up, but he didn’t say anything, only gave mea wonderful cunning look, When J got to the deacon’s, they were all out in the kitchen but Rachel, and she was in the square room ; and so after I had talked a spell with the old lady, she asked me in there and Jeft us all alone, Ma’am Billings knew what was what, I can tell you. Rachel she was sitting up by the window, singing “Old Hundred.” She didn’t look very good-natured ; but when J came in she brightened up wonderfully, and began to talk about the sermon, and the minister, and everything else that you can think of. My gracious! How a woman’s tongue can go when it gets started ! Tf Rachel’s didn’t ache that night I shall lose my guess, The old deacon brought us in some apples and butternuts, and a pitcher of cider, and then told Rachel to cover up the fire when she went to bed, The old man always was a sleepy- headed kind of g thing, and in about ten minutes afterwards I heard him snoring away as if he was on a wager, Rachel’s two little brothers went up-stairs to bed, and one of them yell- ed out, right by the square room door ; Josh Jenkins is a-courting our Rache! Josh Jenkins is a-courting our Rache}’ His mother came along and boxed his ears,and he changed his tune pretty quick. T looked at Rachel, Her face was as Fed asa mahogany table, and her mouth kept a quirking, as if she wanted to Jaugh and daren’t. I swow ! she look- ed pretty enough to eat | We’d got pretty sociable by this time, and so I hitched my chair up alongside of hers, She didn’t say any- thing, but looked down on the floor and began to play with a string of gold beads she wore on her neck. "Let metie them,’ says J, slipping myarm oyer her shoulder. ‘They ain’t untied, and you mysn’t hag me,’ says she. ‘Qh, pshaw!’ says I, getting a lit- tle nearer ; ‘that isn’t apything. You see F can’t talk to you without I rest yoy arm on something.’ She langhed as if she would die. *You’re a queer fellow,’ ‘says she; ‘but if you will put your arm there, I can’t help it; only yon musn’t hug me, nor kiss me,’ I hadn’t been lookinga head quiteas farasthat ; but seeing she spoke about it, T thought J might as_ well try it. So I got up a little closer still, and just as she looked up to speak I kiss- ed her, She dodged away after it was gl] over,and boxed my ears; but she didn’t strike very hard, and after a little while [ tried it again. ‘That time she took it pretty quietly and after that I didn’t stop to connt the kisses. I was making up for lost ¢ 2m = time, and worked pretty steady, I can tell you. Dve had ‘gome pretty good times, sinee then, but none of. them ever eamé up that evening with Rachel Billiugs. It makes my heart beat to think of it even now. Rachel got up at last and leaned over my chair to get an apple. Some- how or other her foot slipped and she came very near falling over. I caught her in my arms: and after I once had her there I didn’t care to let her go. Creation } what a feeling that was! I felt jost as:I did the day when 1 took hold of an ee! Sam Jones had in a tub—an electric. eel I believe he called it. They kept it so as to have the fun of seeing. it give people shocks. Well as I was saying, Rachel was in my arms, and I fancied I was pret- ty near Paradise. I thought what a nice thing it would ve if I could have the right to have ber there always. There was a chap that was almost always hanging around Rachel. His name was Thomas Wilder. He and I never had anything to say to each other: bat I hated him now, just be- cause he had been with her so much, So I thought how nice it would be to cut him out. I was nineteen and my father had nobody but me to leave his property to; and Rachel was a first-rate housekeeper, and would most likely be willing to wait a year or two for me. Even if I hadn’t a red cent, and no way to get one, I should have done the same thing she was so confounded pretty. ‘Rachel,’ says I, ‘I’ve been hunt- ing after a wife for six months, and I haven’t seen any one I liked half so well as you. I came to see you to- night on purpose to ask if you would marry me.’ That was a tremendous story, for I'd never thought of such a thing till she fell into my arms; but I had read somewhere that “Allis fair in loveand war,” andso I thought it woualdn’t do any harm to coax her up a little. My gracious! how she colored up the minute I spoke! She got up and gazed straight at me for a spell and then said : ‘Bless me, Mr. Jenkins! I thought you knew all the tine that I was en- gaged to Tom Wilder. Where have you been all your life?) Why, I’m going to be married next Sunday and should have been this, only Tom has cut his foot with an axe and can’t walk ‘I hope to gracious he’ll be a crip- ple all his life!’ said I. The next thing I knew, I was coming through our garden gate. ‘Father hadn't gone to bed; I be- lieve he knew I should come home with a flea in my ear. When I came in he obseryed : ‘Josiah, when you want to visit old folks another Sunday night, just come to me, and J’! tell you a better place than Deacon Billings’.’ I turned right around, just as mad as fire. ‘Gaul darn it, father, I won’t be langhed at by anybody! D’ve made a tarnal fool of myself; but if ever I get caught in such a scrape again you may take my head fora foot-ball! Il keep away from women after this -—see if I don’t! Ikept my word. I board where there are as many as twenty women; but always when I pass their bon- nets and shawls in the entry, I turn my head right the other way, and— keep it there! Rachel Billings cured me! Snags’ Corner. The officials of a Michigan railroad now being extended were waited upon the other day by a person from the pine woods and sand hill who an- nounced himself as Mr. Snags, and who wanted to know if it could be possible that the proposed line was not tocome any nearer than three miles tothe hamlet named in_ his honor. ‘Is Snags’ Cornera place of much importance ?’ asked the President. ‘Isit? Well, Ishould say it was! We made over atonof maple sugar there last spring ! ‘Does business flourish there ?” ‘Flourish ?

How’s that a for town which is tobe left three mites off your rail- road ?” Being asked to giyethe names of | the business houses he scratched his head for awhile and ther replied : ‘Well, there’s me, to stagton.

It can’t be possible that you mean to jump a growing place like Snags’ Corners !’ ‘I think we’ll have to.’ ‘Woualdn’t come if Id clear you outa place in the store for a_ ticket office ?” ‘I don’t see how we could.’ ‘May be I’d subscribe $25,’ contin- ued the delegate. ‘No, we cannot change.’ ‘Can’t do it nohow ?” ‘No.’ ‘Very well,’ said Mr. Snags as he put on his hat. ‘If this ’ere railroad thinks it can stunt or cripple Snags’ Corners by leaving it out in the cold it has made a big mistake. Before I leave town to-day I’m going to buy a windmill and a melodeon, and your old locomotives may toot and be hang- ed sir—toot and be hanged !’ There Might have Been. A man in want of a load of wood visited the markets to make a choice. Finding a load that suited, he asked the owner if there was a cord on the wagon. ‘IT believe there is,’ was the reply. ‘Do you know that there is ?’ ‘My son William loaded it up, and he said there was a cord.’ ‘Well, what do you say ?’ asked the citizen. ‘And my other son, John, helped William load it up, and he said there was a cord.’ ‘Do you say so ?’ ‘And my neighbor came along, and he said there was a cori.’ ‘I don’t believe there is.’ ‘And my wife stood at the gate as I came away, and she said there was a cord,’ continued the farmer. ‘There may be three-quarters,’ said the citizen. ‘And as I came through the toll- gate the keeper said he’d eat it if there wasn’t a cord and a half.’ ‘He did? ‘And the police stopped me, and wanted to know how much I asked for that cord and three-quarters of beau- tiful wood.’ The citizen took it before the load could swell any more. Ee There is now a daily newspaper printed on shipboard. It is called the Atlantic Daily, and J. H. Hartley, of Boston, began to publish it on the steamship Devonia of the Anchor line, on May 29, off Sandy Hook. He had a case of type and a job press on board and each day during the voyage he “set up” and printed his edition of 300 copies, regardless of fogs, storms and icebergs. He says that he set up about ten thousand emsaday. Three steerage boys were employed, but struck when the passengers called them “devils.” Burlesque telegrams from the Chicago convention were printed, and passengers expecting to be sea-sick were requested to “notify” the steward. Various jokes perpetra- ted by the passengers were printed, together with all the news—social, political, rcligious and nautical—of the voyage. It used always to be a boast of Henry Clews, the banker, that he was a self-made man. One day he notic- ed that Mr. Travers, the Wall street wit, whose stammering squibs of speech have won a world wide celeb- rity, was eyeing his bald head with a critical expression of countenance.— “Well, what’s the matter, Travers ?” asked Clews, rather impatiently.— ““H-H-Henry,” responded the other, “d-d-didn’t you say you were a 8-s- self-made man?” ‘Yes, certainly ; I made myself.” “Then w-w-why the d-d-devil, when you were a-a-about it, didn’t you p-p-put a little more h-h-hair on the top of your head ?” The population of Winston and Salem, combined, according to the late enumeration, is about 5,000. ee A young woman at Alden, Iowa, said she “wished to heaven that she might die that day.” A terrific storm arose immediately, with thunder and lightning, and she imagined that it bore some relation to her case. Has- tening to a church, she knelt and prayed: “Ob, Lord, I didn’t mean it when I said J wanted to die. Please mill. Then there’s a blacksmith shop, don’t let the lightning hit mo,” Are there not a hundred intelligent colored men in Mecklenburg—are there not a thousand in the State— who know this statement to be false? If Gen. Barringer has deliberately tried to deceive them once, can he be relied upon in the future? Gan they implicitly believe what he may tell them hereafter ? Remember, he is a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and if elected it must be done by the votes of the colored people. —_—— OE SO Mr. Franeis E. Shober, Jr., of Sal- isbury, N.

And his fiery breath in my face was blown till my hair was wet with spray, As through the mountain gorges wild we dashed o'er the iron way. “Ho, fireman, pile the fuel high and keep the boiler full, -For she has work before her now right up the Ridge to pull.” So spoke—his face all seamed with scars —Gordon the engineer, While Newland, Captain of the train, commanded in the rear.

His protest was overwhelmingly re- futed by Mr. Marshall and Mr. Madison eral Constitution on bribery, it has succeeded in holding power. No party ever made a blacker record. No party was ever less unscrupulous. No par- ty ever showed less regard for the rights of freemen, for popular liberty, for law, relig- ion or the cherished institutions of the peo- ple. It has trampled every thingin the dust, torn to shreds the constitution of our fath- ers, and forced upon the country the most detestible and pernicious dogmas as matters of civil polity at the point of the bayonet, Yet this bloody faction never held powers amajority of the popular vote. Outof a vot- ing population of nearly 5,000,000 Lincoln received the first time but 1,857,610. Still he skulked into Washington in disguise be- tween two suns and was ‘inaugurated by the mob. The second time He ran in 1864, his opponent being George B. McClellan, with all the public patronage, backed by the army contractors, all the power money could wield, with hosts of minions, soldiers, and Iayonets at every precinct, to. brow- beat, intimidate and stifle public opinion in his favor, he was able to increase his. first vote but little over 300,000. It was during this presidential campaign of 1864, that the horrible proposition is said to have been made to arrest and murder from two hun- dred to one thousand citizens in a given night. in different parts of the United States in order to strike terror into the ranks of the people, and deter them from the polls. It has been openly charged and never deni- ed that this monstrous crime was entertain- ed and discussed by the leading Radicals about Washington at the time; but the plot came to the ear of the Jate Thomas Corwin, whose natural kindness of heart revolted at the horrible suggestion, and promptly arrest- ed it. Such a plot and crime were in per- fect keeping with the whole tenor 0% the Radical Administration. Indeed, a similar murderous plot was proposed in this State when it was suggested to arrest and lose such men as W. A. Graham, Z. B. Vance who took the opposite grounds, When Mr. Lincoln called out his seventy- | five thousand men to begin the work of co- | ercing the States, he did not pretend to | base that call upon any article or clause of the constitution; but he based it upon an act, it is alleged, of Congress, passed in 1795, to enable the State of Pennsylvania to call upon the U.S. troops to put down a whiskey rebellion iagher borders. The ablest Republican papers, including Mr. Greely’s Tribune of May 7th, 1866, admits that there was no power in the Constitution authoriz- ing the Federal government to make war upon the States. Sothat the yvreat erime of the Radical party—the monstrous crime of four years of war and—blood was in most flagrant definance of the Constitution, and in utter disregard of the interpretations viv- en to it, -by the gentlemen named by Mr. Hanes. It is possible the so-called Re- publican party was preserving the Union according to the interpretation of the great statesinen when Lincoln was arresting and imprisoning the Legislature of Maryland, and other distinguished citizens of the Uni- ted States; but it seems that the venerable Chief Justice Taney did not think so at that time, for when application wasmade to him in the case of John Merryman, one of the parties arrested by Licnoin’s order, he held the Executive Edict to be unconstitutional, and ordered the discharge of the prisoner. It is well known that Lincoln’s Cabinet is- hsued “Lettres de Cachet” at}will. Perhaps they too,avere inerely preserving the Union ac- cording to the aforesaid interpretation ; and ‘Grant was doing the same thing when he was dispersing -Legislatures and surround- }-4ng ballot boxes with bayonets. But perhaps the revolutionary acts of the and others. And the infamous Radical par- ty would have carried it out in both cases, had it felt strong enough to doso,though the monstrous villainy would have eclipsed in atrocity the murder of the first born chron- icled in the Old Testament Scriptures. Such Grant also swung into the Presidential chair on the supple back of a popular minority. The States of Mississippi, Texas and Virginia were not allowed to voteat his election, and is Radicalism—such is its record. all the prominent citizens in the other south- er States were disfranehised, yet his majori- ty over Seymour was only 336,000. Out cf a voting population of over 6,000,000, he received but 2,985,031. The fraud, Hayes, went in by dint of bri- Lery and perjury, with a popular majority of more than a quarter of a million of votes It is fitting therefore, that this monstrous factionshould begin with a sneak and end its days with a fraud as Presi- dent. We have shown that the Radical party has never been endorsed by a majority of the people; that .it obtained power by revolution and held it by violence, A majority of the American people to-day hold it in condemnation, and are ready to strike off the fetters that party forged for the hands of freemen. They are look- ing to-their leaders for proper connsel, and silently awaiting the hour to reclaim their rights and liberties at the ballot box.

N. 8., July 6.—Mr. Stod- dard, second mate of the brigantine For- tunate, which arrived on Sunday from the West Indies, reports that one night While passing along the coast of Florida on a recent voyage, a singular phenome- non appeared. Just after dark two col- anins were seen, seemingly about a mile away. They were about fifty yards apart, and rose to the height of nearly five hundred feet, when they arched to- wards each other, but did not meet. They burned with a steady, dull, red color and did not emit any sparks, but at the arch- ing portions emitted tremulous Tays or pevcilings of light similar to the aurora borealis. They appeared in sight aH night and gradually faded away as day- light came. The weather was beantifally clear and not a clond was visible the en- tire night.

Indeed there are few premises that do not need them. In the New York Herald we find “chloride of lead” re- }comimended as the cheapest and most. ef- fective deodorizer and disinfectant known, and the following receipt for its prepara- tion is given: To prepare a solation of chloride of lead on a small seale for family ase, take ov eighth of an ounce of nitrate of lead and dissolve it in one quart of boiling wa- ter; then dissolve one ounce of common salt in five gallons of water; pour the two solutions togecher, and when settled pour off the clear mixed solution and keep well corked iu a demijohn or jug for use. A cleth wet with this suspended in the room will neutralize all offensive vapors and a little dashed in a privy, sink, drain or sewer will disinfect aud destroy all noxious gases by combining with them.

We Lost Records. Soom er together the records of the North Carolina troops in the war of the revolution and of 1812, but it is difi- cult and perhaps a hopeless task. The records of the revolution are misera- bly meagre, consisting, for the most part, of the vouchers for pay and re- ceipts for the same. These bear no re- 'ference to the company, regiment or brigade of the soldier, and are nearly valueless, of course. The records of the war of 1812 are complete. Sever- al of the books containing the certified copies of muster rolls are missing. These recurds were a part of those thrown into the rotunda of the capi- tol by order of Chief Justice Pearson in 1868. At thattime the missing numbers were taken by a party in this city, now dead. Not long before his death he stated that he had the records in his possession and would return them upon payment of $50. The auditor, to whom he made the proposition, did not entertain it. The man’s relatives now claim to know nothing of the whereabouts of the invaluable documents. Thus many applicants for pension service in that war may be prepared to get unsatis- factory answers wheu they write fur a record of their service. It isa pity that the records are lost, since they can never be replaced. The State owes it to her people, however, to make anattempt to recover the re- cords, if it be possible, by any means in her power. It is necessary to have a record of the troops who served in the war of the revolution, and any definite in- formation furnished the adjutant- general’s office will be received with thanks.— Raleigh Q@bserver. Yankees Mobbing Negroes. AtcuHison, Kan., July 14.—C. H. Peck, contractor for the excavation: work of the packing house of J. M. Smith, of East Atchison, Mo., hav- ing engaged several colored men, to whom he was paying a dollar and a quarter per day, a drunken mob, arm- eg with revolvers and knives, made their appearance on the spot to-day and compelled them to quit work. The crowd increased and proceeded to the brick-yards of Smith & Co., where seven colored men were em- ployed, and compelled a suspension of all work and drove the negroes ov- er the river. The mob then number- several hundred and was addressed by the Mayor of Atchison and others, urging peace, but without avail. Col- ored drivers of transfer teams were compelled to turn back over the bridge, and the colored parties at the various freight depots, and other ne- groes in town, were hunted up and sent over into Kansas. The authori- ties finding all their efforts to quiet the ‘mob useless telegraphed to Sheriff Spencer, of St. Joseph, to come and exercise his authority -but he refused to come. The mob now have posses- sion of East Atchison and defy the law and militia. The people of Atch- ison who-are largely interested in in- dustries are indignant at these dis- graceful proceedings, and unless the officers of Buchanan county, Missra- ri, do.their duty to-morrow, they pro- pose to take a hand in the affair. —— oa Good Old People.

Au old pasture is also good. 1] never follow wheac after wheat, and seldom sow after corn. First of all, the essntial is a thorough preparation of the soil: plough well and subsoil if possible. I frequeutly sow peas in May and turn betore frost, leaving all the vines on the land, of course. My time for sowing is from the 10th of October to the middle of November, but prefer to sew from the 15th to the 20th of October, one year with another, though late sown wheat is sometimes the best. I driJl in oue bushel to the acre with about 160 to 180 Ibs. of Peruvian Guano. I have made good wheat with other standard fertilizers, though the Peruvian is best four wheat.— Laat but vot least, a personal attention to the ploughing is indispensable to suc- cess. The old say ing is true with respect to farming especially ; ‘If you want apy - thing done get it dune, but if you want it done right do it yaurself.” As to soil a clay soil is best, but IL have had as good wheat on light svil as any. With a thor- ough preparation of soil, &¢e., I never calculate op reaping less than 20 bushels to one. The season, of course, has very much to do with the crop.

Prior to his nomination there was not a dozen Repub- licans in Penuaylvania who ever dream- ed of Gardeld becoming their candidate. Party drill may, aud doubtless will, bring the body of the party to Gartield’s sup- port. But Il predict that in this contest the Republicans will lose every doubtful legislative and Cougressioval district in the State. Hancock is the pride of our people and the idol of our soldiers. He is stropger than the party, aud with the many declarations by prominent Repub- licans of their earnest and enthusiastic support I cannot aud I do uot doubt that the electoral vote of Peunsy]vania will be cast fur him by a decided majority. ae The Cash-Shannon Duel--Senator Butler Thinks it is not Defensible under the Code. From the Charleston News and Courter, EpGEFIELD C. H., July 13, 1830. Messrs. Riordan & Dawson—DeEak Sins: IT want to say to you that you have my hearty endorsement in the position you have taken in reference to the Cash- Shannon tragedy. It is no reflection upon the memory of the gallant geotlemeu of the past who resorted to the duello to settle their personal differeaces to ask In former days the most punctilious de- cornm and chivalric courtesy distinguish- ed the conduct of geutlemen in “affairs of | honor,” aud coarse ribaldry and gascon- | ade in correspondence as odions as the brand of cowardice; but now the ‘‘wash- buckler style” appears to be fashionable. The issue is very sharply made be- tween those who trample law defiantly under foot and those whe exccute it, and Ido hope that courage cnough may be found to execute it. It will be a sad day for South Carolina when a gentleman, who feels it to be his; personal or professional daty to vindi- | cate private rights iu our courts, is first to be insulted, pursued, villitied aud goaded to desperation, and theu shot. lf that is to be the plane which our eivili- zation is to occupy, we shall all bo sleen- ing ou our arms. And there must be, something radically wroug in pablic sen- timent Which cau force aman of Shan- non’s high character and acknowledged courage to fight a duel under the circum- | stances which surrounded him. It is about time we were tinding out where we are, and ascertain whether ‘border ruflianism” is to govern this country or whether civilized institutions shall be maintained. IT express po opinion on the merits o this difficulty for I know nothing of it, except what I have seen in the public prints; but I do venture the opinion that it is the first time in the history of duel- ling in South Carolina that aman has been shot for doing what he Had, in morals and law, clearly the right to do, and for doing what it was his sworn duty to do, to wit; fuitutully representing the interests of his clients in the courts against parties who had themselves goue into the courts. It is without a parallel either in the issue made or the manner of its conduet. You are doing your share of public duty in a proper manner—pardon me for saying so—and I believe that nine-tenths of the respectable people of the State will sustain you. You may count on my doing so in any way that I properly may. Very truly yours, &e., M.C. Burien. gee London, June 28th, 1880. Bro. BRuneR; I have arrived sate in London, the largest city on our globe. We think New York large, but the population of this city is fourfold greater, being some- thing like one-tenth as great as the whole United States. But I write not however to tell you about London; but how I got here. Well, at New York I took passage on board of the S. 8. Ship Italy of the National Line. She is in length 425 ft., in breadth of beam 43 ft. and depth of hold 34 ft.. and register- ed tocarry 4,302 tons. She bad a crew of 85 officers and mey, commanded by Capt. Jas. Sumner, 95 salaon passengers and 30 steerage passingers, 300 head of fat cattle and 4000 tons freight. We left New York at 11. A.M. June 16th. The day being fine we had a fine view of the harbar and ‘its surroundings. Ifthe Bay had a Mt. Vesuvius some where on the end of Staten Island the scenery, I think, would equal if not excel the Bay of Naples. At 1 P. M. we were outside of Sandyhook and discharged our pilot. A Cunard steamer went out just before us and a French steamer behind us, they both took a course away to our left. We saw a number of other vessels going out and many boundin. By 6 p. m. we saw ne land nor vessels except the twa thatcame ont with 17th. A quiet morning and a calm sea. < f! .Yersatien, some at shuffle board, seme piteh- | nearing land as a steamer and several ves- No vessel in sight but the French steamer While afew passangers were complaining of sca-sickness, the greater part of them were engaged about something—some were play- ing and singing, some reading, some ia con- ing rings, some playing checkers and: some cards, &c. 18th. A fresh.wind ahead which stiffened during the day, and put a number more on the sick list. At 7 p.m. the S. 8. City of New York of the Inman line, inward bound passed us away on our right, She being out of her course, signaled us to look out fur ice, as she had to run south to her present lati- tude 41° beiore she got out of it. 19th. A fresh wind, a sprinkling of rain, and sea at times breaking over and washing some of our deck; saved myself frem a wave sprinkling by dodging behind a mast but was soon ankle deep in water running cross the deck. Many of our passangers are down with sea-sickness. Not a thing seen all day outside of our ship but the waste of waters with their white crested waves. _ 20. A lovely Sabbath morning, wind has calmed down but still considerable sea run- ing. Had Episcopal service in the dining saloon, by Mr. Hovey of Brooklyn. and in the afternoon by Geo. C. Lerimel, D. D. of Chicago. 5 p. m: met one Barque and pass- ed another, and saw four others before sun down. Suppose they have been driven south of their course by Ice. 2tst. Sea calmed and many of the sick have got on deck. Passed a Barque in the afternoon. 22d. A smooth sea and fair wind. Noth- ing seen trom our decks to-day but the boundless dee). 23rd, Weather and sea as yesterday. Pass- ed a Barque at noon, At night had an ex- cellent concert (in dining saloon which was draped with flags for the oceasion) and a stiring address from G. C, Lerimel, D. D. on belialf of the Sailors, Orphan Home, for Which a collection was taken up. There is a Cuipany of Minstrel passengers with us trom whom we at times have tine music. 24th. Sea rough again, making many sick. 12m. met Canadian of this line on her way to New York. 25th. A fresh north wind causing ship to roll, while at times a white crested wave sends its spray a@ cross the deck, sprinkling all who are in its way, but generally the the deck is dry and many are sitting flat on it. Hearing laughing, I looked and saw some who were a:tting on deck be- tween smokiny saloon and skylight jump up and run when a stream of water rushed across the deck where they had been, a wave having broken over that part of the ship. Later a row ot ladies were reclining on easy chairs alonz lea side of dining room sky- light, lon camp stool at end of row, while before us were some seated on deck and others standing, a big wave rolls our ship over to starboard, launching all in front of us into scupper against deck railing, while we who were sitting are launched from our seats on to our backs full length on deck. When the ship righted we were trying to right ourselves, when the ship took another lurch and we slided against those that were inthe scupper. No one was hurt, and amongst the general langhter we soon all got righted again. Nothiag but white crested waves scen trom our decks to-day except a minute's sight of two porpoises. 26th. A lovely morning, wind and sea calmed down, six vessles in sight at sun up and "four more are seen during the day. Ifow soan they vanished oat of our sight! This afternoon we had ships crew mustered and drilled by getting out four of our boats. 27th. A lovely Sunday morning with calin sea and light wind from the south. Weare sels we have passed are making for the sane point as we. We have had quite an interest- ing discussion on Christ's 2d coming, after which we had the Episcopal service on deck follo ved by a few practical remarks on the lesson of the day (the draught of fishes) by Rev. Mr. Johnston, Methodist, Baltimore. | Have wet a few vessels this morning and passed many, 1 p. m., see a pilot bout. hai Inge them. We have 3 methodist, Presbyterian, 1 Baptist and 1 Episcopalian ministers aboard, We breakfast at 8 aom., Lunch at 1 p.m., dine at 5 and tea at 8 p.m. Each morning atier breakfast a few of the ministers and others assembled on deck with their Bibles (weather permittine) read a portion of Scripture, had prayer and then discussed for an hour the Scripture read. Two p.m., see lighthouse on land, and half past 2 sec land, when a band of us join in singing, “Praise God from whom all bless- ings flow.” 44 p. in. pass Lizirds point 44} miles from light on Lands End and 364 | niles trom Graves end which is 25 miles be- | low London. Passed the celebrated Editson Lighthouse at haif past 7 p.m. Went down this evening into Fore castle witha number of ministers and others, and held interest- ing religious services with the sailors, 27th. A calm morning with a light fog resting on the land. 5 a. m. passing Isle of Wight The shore along the Lizards are rocky and steep, rising 200 to 300 feet high, and then the table lands sloped back with green fields dotted with white houses and a village. Regret Icould not see what the Isle of Wight is like. Why should old Eng- land hide her face from us. 11 4. m. pass- ing Beachy head with bold white clitts. Old England has now unvailed her face and smiles upon us, tp. m. pass Dungenys Church Castle and light house. Envine stopped for first time since we left New York, and takes pilot aboard. We now pass Falksten and Dover with their bold clifts 200 to 400 feet high. 3 p. m. enter the Thames and have a fine view of South Point with its beautiful fands and residences. Passengers are admiring the fine landscape. Can’t make Graves End on account of lew tide, so cast anchor. 28th. Hove anchor, and was up at Rams- gate by 4 a. m., when Costom Ofticers came aboard and we had a change of pilots and a steamer hitched along side of us. We were Opposite to our dock before 6 a. m., but it took us five hours to get in and pass Custom house Officers, Dock Officers, &e., and get aboard of train to go up into the city. So it was near] p. m. before I reached my hotel. Yours truly, Ws. Murpock. —_ > > ae COURT CALENDAR.

Mr. Epitor: The time is close at hand when the Democrats of the several Vownships will be called upon in their primary elections, to select suitable per- sons to fill the various county offices. In the election in November, party lines will be strictly drawn. In order to secure success to the entire ticket it isa matter of prime importance that none but good men and such as have been strictly true to the party should be selected. We have a class of office-seekers who are always willing to abide the action of convention when they receive the nomiuation, but when they fail to receive it, they ave ready to bolt and run as independents, thereby disorganizing and setting at defi- anee the Democratic party. Such men do this, knowing that they will always receive the support of the Radical party who wateb for every apportunity to strike a blow at democracy. It will not do for the party ju Couveution to select any man who has ever run as an independent, as no true Democrat can hoparably sup- port any such. For the office Sheriff we have no better Inayg ip the county than G. A. Binghan, Esq.

In 1878 he was prominently spoken of, aud could have gone through, had he not, with great cousidration, given « Way to Mr. H.C. Bost, for whom he did valuable work in the canvass. His friends Were wuch disappointed at this turn, but Mr. Brown claimed that it was for the good of the party that he threw away his chauces aud labored tor avother. Now, 1 think, is the proper time to remunerate the services of this gentleman, and at the same time send a fit and worthy man to represent our county, iv the Legislature. This is an important office and ove that should be filied with some ability athe people have come to this Conclusion, and 1 think will select Mr. Brown frou Salis- bury aud couple bis name with some sol- id man in tue couutry—thus waking a team that will win.

Two years age, he canvassed a portion of the county for his triend Mr. Bost, with great ability and success. In the campaiga during that year be wade for himself a great many trievds. Having been urged for the nomination two years ago, and having yielded then in favor of another, lis fricuds think it has vow come to be his turn.

Re. 8 ¥ at: tt => 4 S THE ROWAN COUNTY COMMITTER OF SAFETY. e Who sounded the first note of Jiberty in North Carolina? There are claimants for this honor, but their claims are not fally,es- tablished. In the unsettled state of -sfiairs immediately preceding the Revolation of 1776 public opinion was drifting insensibly for » number of years iv the direction of a higher form of civil liberty. Besides this many have confounded hiber- ty with independence. The design to pre- serve their liberties was universal before the thought of independence gained any hold, upon the public wind. Col. Moore, iu his history of North Carolina, affirms that, as late as the meeting of the Continental ‘Con- gress in Sept., 1774, there were Dut three men in America who contemplated actual independence of the crown of England. These were Patrick Henry of Virginia, William Hooper of North Carolina, and Samuel Adams of Massachusetts. These three had given utterance to sentiments of independence, but the Congress ayowed its loyalty to the King, and protested its devo- ticn to the British Constitution. The Con- gress of North Carolina in August, 1774, protested thesame loyalty. But at the same time there were opinions on the subject of human rights, and plans and purposes on the subject of trade and taxation, and re- solves on the matter of a union of the Colo- nies, whose inevitable consequence was the ultimate independence of the colonies, un- less the British Parliament should recede from the position they bad deliberately chosen, It matters little who first called for independence, provided we know who first avowed the principles that inevitably led to that result. Without claiming that these principles were first conceived in Rowan county, or even that that they were first avowed here, from the documentary evidence before the public ior thirty years, it may be affirmed that the first recorded adoption of these principles occurred in Salisbury, Nearly a year before the patriotic citizens of Meck- lenburg adupted their famous “Resolves” of the 3ist of May, which so irritated Governor Martin, and provoked his angry letter from the lower Cape Fear; and nearly two years before the National Declaration of Inde- pendence, the citizens of Rowan adopted a paper that contains the germs of in@epend- ence, This was onthe 8th of August, 1774. The evidence of this is found in the Journal of the Committee of Safety of Rowan Coun- ty, found recorded on pp. 360-2 of Colonel Wheeler's Sketches of North Carolina, vol. second. This document was discovered in Iredell county, among the papers of the Sharpe family by the Rev. E. F. Rockwell, and published by Col. Wheeter in 1851. William Sharpe was the last secretary of the Committee, and preserved the minutes that were found in the hands of bis descendants, Col, Wheeler voucbes for the genuineness of the documcut. This Conmittee of Safety began its ses- sious, according to these Minutes, on the Sth of August, 1774, seventeen days before the assembling of the first North Carolina Provincial Congress. This committee was probably chosen at the time appointed for electing members to the General Assembly vf the Province, or it may have come into existence before that time, in obedience to the wishes of the people. The members of | the committee were chosen from all parts of this grand old county, and numbered twen- ty-five. The following is a list of their names: Jas. McCay, Andrew Neal, George Cathey, Alex, Dobbins, Francis McCorkle, Mathew Locke, Maxwell Chambers, Kenry Harmon, Abraham Denton, William David- son, Samuel Young, John Brevard, William Kennon, George Henry Barringer, Robert Bell, Jno. Bickerstaff, Jobn Cowden, John Lewis Beard, dolin Nesbit, Charles McDow- fell, Robert Blackburn, Christopher Beck- ; man, William Sharpe, John Johnson, and Morgan Bryan. At their first recorded meeting, Aug. 8th, 1774,this Committee adopted seventeen reso- lutions upon public affairs,showing that they were in the very forefront of liberal and patriotic opinions. As this paper is nut generally known, we give it entire. “At a meeting of the Committee, August 8th, 1774, the following resolves were unan- imously agreed to: Resolved, That we will at all times, when- ever we are called upon for that purpose, maintain and defend, at the expense of our | lives and fortunes, his Majesty’s right ana title to the Crown of Great Britain and his | dominions in America, to whose royal per- (son and government we prafess all due obedience and fidelity. Resolved, That the right to impose taxes or duties, to be paid by the inhabitants within this province, for any purpose what- soever, is peculiar and essential to the Gen- eral Assembly, in whom the legislative au- thority of the colony is vested. Resolved, That every attempt to impose such taxes or duties by any other authority, is an arbitrary cxertion of power, and an in- trinzmeut of the constitutional rights and liberties of the colony. Resolved, That to impose a tax or duty on tea by the British Parliament, in which the North American Colonies can have no repre- sentation, to be paid upon importation by the inhabitants of the said colonies, is an act of power without right. It issubversive to the liberties of the said colonies, deprives them of their property without their own consent, and thereby reduces them to a state 'o slavery. Resolred, That the late crucl and sangui- nary acts of Parliament, to be executed by military force and ships of war upon our sister colony of the Massachusetts Bay and town of Boston, isa strong evidence of the carrupt influence obtained by the British Ministry in Parliament, and a convincing proof of their fixed intention to deprive the colonies of their constitutional rights and liberties, Renolved, That the cause of the town of Bos- ton isthe common cause of the American Colo- ea. Licsolved, That it is the duty and interest of all the American Colonies firmly to unite in an indissoluble union and association to oppose by every just and proper means the infringment of their common rights and privileges. . Resolved, That a general asseciation be- tween all the American Colonies not to iin- port from Great Britain any commodity whatsoever (except such things as shall be hereafter excepted by the General Congress of this Province), ought to be entered into, and not dissolved till the just rights of the colonies are restored to them, and the cruel acts of the British Parliament against the Massachusetts Bay and town of Boston are repealed. . . Resolced, That no friend to the rights and liberties of America ought to purchase any commodity whatsoever, except such as shall be excepted, which shall be imported from Great Britain after the General Association shall be agreed upon. . TResolved, That reer kind of luxury, dis- sipation, and extravagance ought to be ban- ished frony among us, . Resolved, Phataise atures ought to be encouraged by opening snbscriptions for that purpose. or by any other proper means. Resolved, That the African is injurious to ROWAN COUNTY] .| the king himself, for tis ut wae Bie te csi % fa 220 Sheet + Ane ory f ‘ + : i ot *9% 3 ¢ ee "That the raising of sheep, hem and flax ought to be enc That to be clothed in manufac- tures fabri¢ated ‘in ‘the colonies ought to be considered as a hadge of distinction, of re- spect, and true patriotism, _ , at » ‘Phat Messrs.

Resolved, That this colony ought not to trade with any colony which shall refuse to Join 1n any uajor and associatien that shall be agreed upoh by the greater part. of the other colonies on this continent, for presery- ing their common rights and liberties.” An analysis of. these resolves, shows that these early patriots couiprehended all the great doctrines of civil liberty. They be- gan with the profession of loyalty'to their king. An examinatjon of a large number of similar papers adopted about the same time in Virginia and in the more northern colonies reveals the same acknowledgment of loyalty to the House of Hanover. To have omitted it would have been evidence of treasonable designs. Men educated un- der monarchicat rule sometimes affirm their loyalty in amusing ways. The ‘Parliament of England, in the days of Charles the tirst, levied war against the king in the name of own good. In the case of the Revolutionar patriots, there is little reason to doubt the genuineness of their professions in the early days of the struggle. They entertained hopes of secur- ing their liberties by the repeal of the odi- ous laws, as they had done in the matter of the stamp duties several years before. | In the next place they firmly declared that | no person hada right to levy taxes upon then except their own representatives in As- | sembly. This was the pivot on which. the whole matter turned. And to prevent the arbitrary imposition of taxes, they propose an indissoluble union and association of all the American Colonies, and do all in their power towards.securing this union, by ap- pointing deputies to a Provincial Congress and recommending those deputies to secure the appointment of representatives to a Con- | tinental Congress. The other resolutions concerning luxury, home manufacture, the slave trade, and sympathy with Boston, are subordinate to the others, Having affirmed their political creed the | Comuuittee adjourned until the 22d of Sept., 1774.

Phe’ Highest July Report in Several ¥eare- Promising Prospects Through- out the Country. Wasuixcton, July 15.—The fol- Jowing statement of the condition of the cotton, corn and wheat crops, was jesued by the department of agricul- ture to-day : COTTON, Returns to this department show an inerease in the condition of cotton since the June report. The condition js reported at an average of one hun- dred, being the highest reported in July for several years. The following are reports by States: Forty-five counties in North Carolina average 301; 19 counties in South Carolina! average 99; 70 counties in Georgia average 97; 16 counties in Florida average 92; 31 counties in Alabama average 93; 40 counties in Mississippi average 99; 16 counties in Louisiana average 96; 71 counties in Texas average 111; 33 counties in Arkansas average 104; 23 counties in Tennessee average 103. ‘There are some com- plaints of drought in North Carolina and South Carolina, and of too much rain in Mississippi. Insect injuries are not reported to any extent. CORN, The increase in the area planted in | corn is one per cent. over that of last year. The average condition of the crop for the whole country is the) highest for many years, and is one, hundred, being seven per cent. more than last year at the same time, There ‘are some complaints of drought in the South Atlantic States, while in the ~ become smooth and compact in struc- ture and much enlarged in volume. They now sink lower _ and become sharply defined against the blue sky. Rain may be now expected, «pecially if they unite with the cumujous form- ing the nimbus or raincloud. If the cirrus, instead of forming the nimbus reascends, it dissipates, and no rain need be expected until it lowers again, which generally is in twenty-four hours. gees A Busy Family. A case of assault and battery, in which farmers’ sons were plaintiff and defendant respectively, was on trial in Justice Alley yesterday, and the plaintiff’s lawyer was very anxious to make ont that the defendant’s family must have seen the fight which took place just outside the kitchen door. The defendant’s mother being on the stand the lawyer began ; ‘Well, where were you when the first blow was struck ?” ‘Down cellar skimming milk and tying cloths over my preserve jars,’ she replied. ‘Where was your husband ?” ‘He was in the barn mending _har- ness and greasing the wagon.’ ‘Where was your daughter Sarah ?’ ‘Sarah was in the north bedroom changing the pillow-cases on the spare bed,’ ‘And where was Jane?” ‘Jane? She had rua ever to a neizhbor’s to borrow some coffee and a nutmeg.’ ‘Let’s see! Havn’t yon a sister living with you? ‘Yes, sir. She was sewing carpet rags up stairs.’ valley of the Mississippi and those States north of the Ohio river there is complaint ef teo much rain. The| Pacific States report very high con- | dition. : | WHEAT, | The general average of winter wheat July Ist, 1880, was 65 against) 81 on July Ist, 1870. It improved | slightly during June. The whole South falls off nearly a fouth, but the| heavy winter wheat region north of | the Ohio river rules high at 98. The Middle States are three per cent., | about the average, and the Pacific! four per cent. West of the Missis- sippi, the crop averages 84 against 89 last year. Spring wheat averages 91, the same as in July, 1879. This shows a decline in June, when the average was 97. The New Eng- ‘gland States average 99, the Middle States 93, and those north of the ‘Ohio average 96. West of the Mis- sississippi the general average is 90, Minnesota being 101, while Nebraska falls to62. Jowa stands at 91. On| the Pacific coast California reports 96. —~ —---sep-- —_ --_ How to be Weatherwise. John H. Tice, the weather prophet of St. Lonis, gives the followihg directions to those who aspire to be weatherwise : As everybody is interested in the weather so each one should qualify himself or herself to read the sky, and to interpret the meaning of the winds, sky and clouds, An intensely blue and serene sky indieates heavy rains and severe storms in from twelve to forty-eight hours. A gray, hazy sky indicates a continuous dry and generally hot weather. A southeast wind indicates the ex- istence of a low barometer, if nota storm centre in the northwest. The aspects of the sky and clouds will! tell whether it means mischief or not. Ao almost immediate cessation of rain may be expected as soon as the nortb- west wind sets in, It matters not what the aspects are when the wind sets in ; fair weather will ensue it, and Continue from three to four days. The passage of astorm centre from the gulf and southeastward of our locality isa partial exception only so far that it clears off more tardily. There are really but two primary kinds namely, (1) those that float at a great height above the earth’s surface, and (2) those that float low. Those that float high, say from six to nine miles, are of a fibrous and gauzy structure ; they are hence called cirrus, that is, hair or tuft clouds. The clouds that ‘form in the lower strata of the at- mosphere, say-from one to three miles above the earth, are irregular in Btraoture, and of a more or less nodu- Jar form. Tliey are called the cumu- Jus that is, the heap or pile cloud. While the cirras remains nebniar in structure and indistinctly defined against the sky no rain need be ex- ‘Ah! she was? Yon have a young- er son named Chartes, havn’t you ?” ‘Yes, sir, and he was salting the sheep across the road.’ ‘Just so. Yon are a very busy, family, I see. I suppose even the dog was very busy just at this parti- cular moment.’ *Yes, str he was.

An English lady, having been ask- ed as to the propriety of attending on Sanday an exhibition of Bible :pic- turés, replied with an illustration which illuminates a wide range of du- tiés. She said: Along the South Downs are two paths, one a very few inches from the edge of the cliff, another about two yards off. Many have walked, and walked safely, along the first path, but it was dangerous. One step to the left, and tliey would have fallen, perhaps, several hundred feet in the sea below; or, if a piece of loose rock suddenly separated from the other parts, it would have carried the person who chanced to be tread- ing it, down, down with it, into the abyss. Many, too, and I am among them, have trodden the path farther in; we had as pledsant a view, with this great distinction from the more danger-lov- ing passengers, we were safe; if we took a step to the left, we were still on solid ground; ifthe edge were jagged, or even‘a huge mass of rock fell, we only saw unevenness, or felt a slight shock. A gust of wind could not hurl us over, reither would sudden giddiness send tts rolling down the precipice. Which path was best, was wisest, was ‘safest? “The last,” you say? Yet both have been walked without accident. I do not lay downa rale that every one would be doing wrong in going to see a collection of pictures ’illustrat- ing the Bible on Sunday, but I do say there is a South Down called Sunday; it ts high above the six miles of the country surrounding it; along the edge is written: “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it hely.” There are two paths, one called “re- ligious pleasure,” the other, “hours for God alone.” Which is the hap- piest, the safest, the wisest, the best? -————~e- -—____ Josh Billings’ Philosophy.

One night the large and splendid Sailor’s Home in Liverpool was on fire, and a vast multitude of people gathered to witness the conflagration. The fury of the flames could not ve checked. It was supposed that all building. Presently, however, two poor fellows were seen stretching their arins from an upper window, and were shouting for help. What could be done to save them ? A stout marine from a man-of-war lying in the river said, “Give mea long ladder, and I will try it.” He mounted the ladder, It was too short to reach the window. ‘Pass me up asmall ladder!’ he shouted. It was done. Even that did not reach to the arms stretched frantical- ly out of the window. The brave marine was not ‘to be ‘balked. He lifted the short ladder to his shoul- ders, and, holding on by a casement, he bronght the upper rounds within reach of the two men, who were ak ready scorched by the flarfes. Out of the window they clambered, and creeping down over the sturdy marine, they reached the pavement amid the loud hurrahs of the multi- tude, It was a noble‘deed, and teaches a noble lesson. It teaches us that when we want to do good service to others we must add our own lengti to the length of the ladder. Harry Norton saw that his fellow- clerk, Warren Proctor, was becoming a hard smoker anda hard drinker, although he was only: 16 years old. When he urged him to stop smoking and drinking Warren replied : ‘Why, you sometimes take a cigar and a glass of wine yourself.’ ‘If you will sign a pledge never to smoke acigar or touch a glass of liquor I will dothe same,’ was the reply. The bargain was made, and Harry saved his friend by adding the length of his own example to the length of the ladder. A widow lady near me was suffer- ing from sickness and poverty. Her daughter, a delicate, refined girl, said to herself, ‘My mother must be taken care of; I'll advertise for a place as a servant girl.’ She did so. A rich man saw the advertisement, and, determining that the brave girl should not undertake that, he procured her a_ situation as secretary in an institution where she gets $600 a year. An unselfish daugh- ter thus brought relief to a suffering mother, She spliced the ladder with her own self-denying exertious. It is a noble thing to be unselfish, and te give up gratifications for the sake of-our people. When the great Christian sago of old said, ‘It is not right,to dink wine by which my weak brother stumbles,’ he added the length of his own influence for say- ing others from drunkenness, I could tell of two Christian lads, well educated and refined, who go every Sunday to a mission school ina dirty, degraded street, that they may escourage some poor ragged boys to go there too, These two boys have the inmates had left the burning} the epirit of Jesus Christ. They are the world overthem. © © That is the way to immitate the Divine Master, whogave himself that men might climb out of the folly and degradation of sin into heaven itself. —- bo - Family Honor. A few days ago, says the New York Herald, a young man deliberately shot his sister, who had been fiving a life shame, his object being to save his family’s name from dishonor; but how the family’s honor was improved by the operation remains to be seen. Before the time of the murder the stain that had been inflicted upon an hon- ored name by the girl’s way wardness was known only to the inhabitants of a single town, all of whom probably felt sorrowfully tender toward their afflicted neighbors, who at that time apparently had but a single disgrace to bemoan. The girl’s death did not relieve her relatives of the mortifica- tion they had suffered by her disolute life, and the method of her taking off inflicted upon the family the adition- al disgrace of having produced a mur- derer. Meanwhile the name through the circumstances of the murder, has been dragged from the security of the local circle where it was regarded on- ly with kindness, and been flashed by telegraph all over the country, with the particulars of the double stain it has suffered. The moral is so plain that it should be a lasting warning to others who have family wrongs to brood over. If family disgrace which is really only the disgrace of a single individual, may be terrible to endure, the misery of the suffering ones should not willfully be enhanced by notorie- It is the best Blood every function to more thus a benefit in all diseases.

The cause of ‘these fearful calamities is said to be the' perihelia of certain stars, that is, the near ‘ approach of certain stars to the sun, Jupi- ter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will all approach very near the sun this year, and the wise men say whenever these great stars | | pass in their orbits yery. near the Sun, or | each other, gfeat atmospheri¢ disturbances | on the earth follow as a consequence; and these atmospheric disturbances cause the awful catastrophes above named. - They say that the perihelia, or the conjunction of these great stars and the sun, have always, in the passed caused most woeful conse- , quences, and they cite dates when these perihelia happened and plagues, &c., which followed. But the great plagues of the world and the perihelia fixed by the astron- omers do not seem to have occurred at the same time. Perihelia have been very fre- quent in the past, if the world has had no great plagues without them. We may be on the eve of great calamities, of great pes- tilence and famines, of wonderful atmos- pheric disturbances and natural disorders ; but we think it very doubtful whether they will follow asa consequence of the predict- ed or coming perihelia. At least the history of the pestilence does not justify such con- clusions, “There are seasons,” says a writer, “in the iim ili Bi tite Se ok eee ow | time together, Jive and sometimes ten thous- and and upwards died daily. In one part of the world or another, it continued ‘fifty- two years, so that the greatest part of tman- kind then living may be said to have been destroyed by it. In the year 717, a pesti- off in three years three Kindred thousand souls. In 825, in the reign of Louis the pious, a plague destroyed almost all the inhabitants of France and Germany. In 836, it raged in Wales to such a degree that the country was covered with the carcasses of men and beasts. In 1346, a malignant disease broke out in Asia, that overspread and wasted the inhabited earth, three parts out of four searcely survived, and in some places not a tenth part remained alive. Beginning with the year 1348, the same plague raged in England nine years; and in London alone, from January 1st to the Ist of July, destroy- red one miltion five hundred and seventy-three thousand and seventy-four. 1n1611,a pes- tilence again visited Constantinople, and destroyed two hundred thousand in five mon- ths. And still later, in 1665, was the great plague in London, which raged the year be- fore in Egypt, Germany, Holland, and other Kingdoms, and which destroyed in that city alone ninety-seven thousand in a single year. In 1720, in the city of Marseilles, from the 25th of August to the end of Septem- ber, one thousand were swept off ina day. And in the 1831, a plague raged so irresita- bly at Bagdad, that the city was almost de- populated... It would be difficult to fix Perihelia to suit the date and prevalence of all these plagues. The history of the great earth- quakes and great storms show their occur- ence and predominance to be equally disre- {OR AEG AE aes Ob aS 5 Gea taba 2s Se pe lence again visited Constantinople, and cut oa nial ss Roan ar begas gr , : * + bets is Mie hi & . ; bai’ ‘4: ~ re ed = Be See The Summer Holiday Humbug. tea <g Popeesti’ | Rebecca Harding Davis, in Harper's Magazine for July, exposes,the, delusion that hangs about the leaving of _comfar- table home for a time in the hot summer months to suffer ina so-called summer , resort.

He knows | how to bring the flavor out of every drop | of the orange. He drifts into idleness easily without thought.

It rains, it is dusty; bat they joke and laugh all the same. They criticize noth- ing. How good it allis!

In his anxiety less he should not seize the best chance of enjoyment he is apt to follow the largest crowd. He goes to Niagara, to Cape May, the Adriondacks, or some one of the countless pasteboard mansions or hot farm houses in the suburbs of the cities. He tells you that his object is rest and freedom, but the chances are that he leaves both behind in his house in town. There he could wear his old slippers; he eould chose his own compan- ions; he held such habits and opinions as suited him; he was the McDonald, and wherehe sat was thefhead of thetable.

This period had come upon the Old World, when the waters of the universal deluge overflowed it.

It had come upon the Amorites, Israelites, and Assyrians, when God swept them away in He is not wanting in means and his fury, | instruments to accomplish the purposes of his indignation, All secondary causes are in his hands, and he employs them to ac- complish his designs of judgments, as well 'as mercy. Sometimes he makes use of men ! as the rod of his anger. Think of the mil- lions that have been swept into eternity by such menas Cyrus, Alexander, Julius Cesar, Tamerlane, Louis XIV. and Napoleon. Some times he employs the material creation to | promote his vengefuf*de@stens. ~The sun, ; moon, and stars, the earth, the ocean, and | the elements all conspire as the ministers of ‘his rebuke. Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy winds, tempestuous billows, fulfill Sometimes he withholds the his word. rain of heaven, and takes away the fruits of the earth. Sometimes he sends the earth- quake, the lightning, and the pestilence. The pestilence is emphatically Lis own It was so in various epochs of messenger. the Jewish history, and has been so ever since. God has made the bodies of the dead lie in heaps before the eyes of the living, to admonish them of his displeasure. In an instance of the Jewish history, he destroyed seventy thousand men in the short space of a | few hours. In another instance, the destroy- ing angel cut off one hundred and eighty fice thousand ina night. In the reign of Tar- quinius, the fifth king of Rome, a pestilence cut off the greater part of the Roman Em- pire. About the time that Nehemiah re- paired the walls of Jerusalem, not far from four hundred and thirty years before Christ, and about the second year of the Pelapon- nesian war, that pestilence called the great plague of Atticaoverran Ethiopia, Lydia, Egypt, Judea, Phenicia, Syria, the whole Persian and Roman empires, Greece and the Athenian States, and continued to rage for fourteen years. This isthe plague of which Thucydides wrote, and Lucretius and Vir- gil sang, and is the first universal plague. Upon the ruin of Carthage, a pestilence spread over all Africa, and destroyed in Numidia alone eight hundred thousand. So greivous was this pestilence, that upwards of fifteen hundred dead corpses were carried through one gate of a single city in one day, and upwards of two hundred thousand dicd in a few days. Two years before the birth of Christ a pestilence spread over all Italy, and raged with such fury that few or none remained to till the ground. Since the commencement of the Christian era, and in latter years, severe plagues have raged in England, Scotland and Wales ; sometimes almost depopulating the princi- pal cities of those kingdoms. In the second year of Claudius, the Roman Emperor, so fearfully did the pestilence rage in Eng- land, that the living were scarcely able to bury the dead. Inthe year 180, in the reign of Commodis 1nd during the perse ution o the Christians in the Roman Empire, a pes- tilence spread over all Italy, Greece, and al- most all the Roman Empire. In the city of Rome alone, there were, for a considerable time together, twenty thousand buried in a day. In the year 256, a pestilence rageq in Ethiopia so universally, that it was impos- sible to calculate the number of the dead. In the year 311, during the persecutions un- der Maximilian, a pestilence raged that cut off from the army of that monarch jive thousand a day. In the year 544, a univer- sal pestilence begun at Pelusium, in Egypt. and thence spread over the whole world, sparing ncither age or sex, family nor coun- try, Island nor mountain. In the second year of its fury it visited Constantinople with snch violence that, for a considerable jectures, or predictions of the wise fools amount to nothing. They may happen and they may not. Were they to come true it would be purely an accidental circumstance, founded upon no well established scientific or historical fact. O ye wise men! In the language addressed to the affluent emir, or the grand old Arab Prince, the afflicted but submissive Job. “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzarath in his season ? or canst thou guide Artturus with hissuns? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven ? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth ?” These questions propounded nearly 4000 years ago by the author of the Book of Job, have never yet been answered. And these and others set forth in that volume show that the author knew about as much of the possibility and impossibility of matters and things pertaining to the universe, as the wise men of these days, ~—>-_ Frightened to Death. A London letter says: A little girl wan- dered into aburying ground, whichis ander the charge of the chief sexton, and pluck- ed a flower, unconscious of offense. The sexton caught her in the act aud deter- mined to inflict a punishment which should efiectually deter her from spoiling his plotsin the future. So he dragged the terror stricken child away to the dead house in which four corpses were lying on biers, thrust her in and went about his business. The sextovn forgot all about the tiny prisoner incarcerated in the charnel-house and made fast the cemetery gates for the night. Next morn- ing, returning to work at the usual hour, it suddenly occurred to him that he had omitted to let the child out of the dead- house before going Lome. He hastened to unlose the door, when a shocking spec- tacle met his gaze. Crouched in a cor- ner, with glossy eyes fixed in a death- stare of horror, and blood stained lips bitten through and through in convulsive agony, was a fifth corpse, that of his un- fortunate victim. The hapless child had been literally frightened to death. aa Orphan’s Entertainments. —_— It is announced that a chapter of chil- dren from the Oxford Orphan Asylum will give free entertainments throughout this section of the State, under the charge of Mr. J.

For there is no routine of physical labor half so deadening as rou- tine labor of the rudimentary mental kind. A man who works ina saw pit has his mind fresh when his work is over; aman who works at teaching dull children to articulate and use their pens, has his mind utterly fatigued when the work is over, unless he can refresh it by a total change of occupation. The first of all requisites is to get teaelers in the pri- mary schools who are quickened Ly fresh intellectual interests themselves, anl wh> bave the talent of awakening these in others. You can hardly do this better than by fostering the taste for studies outside the routine course, and inviting teachers when they do their routine work well to share those studies with their brightest pupils. a _ Cash Admitted to Bail, And Assaults the Editor of the Cheraw Sun. CHARLESTON, 8S. C., July 16.—Colonel Cash, the surviving principal in the re- cent fatal duel, came befure Judge Mc- Iver, of the State Supreme Court, , at Cheraw, last evening on a writ of habeas corpus, and was admitted to bail in the sum of $3,000. Considerable excitement was occasion- ed in Cheraw previous to the hearing of the application by an attack made by the son of Colonel Cash upon Mr. Pegues, editor of the Cheraw Sun, who had de- nounced the duel in his paper. Young Cash aud his father had both drawn their pistols, the latter avowing his intention to see a fair fight, and Mr. Pegues was only saved by being thrust by his friends into an open doorway, where he was locked up. No arrests were made. ane onan The outlook in France is thus describ- by Evangelical Christendsm: Atheism, clericalism, and Protestantism are in full conflict, and the clashing and flashing of swords are heard and seen more than here- tofore, thanks to the freedom of print, meet, and lecture granted almost uuiver- sally.

The Committee of the Congregation de Propaganda Fide at Rome, having decided that the claim of the Ronan Cactholic Bishops in England to ex- ercise jurisdiction over the members of religious bodies should be rejected the Pope directed that judgment be deferred, and that all the doeuments on the subjects be submitted to him before the cardinals meet to pronounce upon the matter. The Cardinals were to have assembled on the 15th instant, but on the morning of that day received counter orders from his Holiness. It is pointed out in cleri- cal circles that canonical and judicial objections would prevent the congre- gation of Cardinals from admitting the claim of the English Catholic Biehops, while on the other handpits rejection might prejadice the interests of the Church in England. The: Pope is therefore stated to be considering the expediency of issuing a special Bull sanctioning the episcopal juris- diction with certain limitations.

It ish most praiséwortliy mission, and we know of none outside of her own State who would be more likely to succeed.” ‘ ae kg Hexgy Crews & Co., of New Street, New York, Bunkers, have issued a finan-. cial circalar, dated July 20, 1830, which contains some interesting speculations in regard to the wheat crop of the country the present year, aud how itis likely to afteet trade and the business of railroads. From the best information attainable they make op an estimate of the wheat crop for the current year in eleven of the principal wheat-growing States. These are Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, aud California. The estimate made for them this year is 357,- 000,000 bushels; showing an increase on the crop of 1879, of 26,700,000 ; and if the gain should be in the same proportion, 36,000,000 are given as the total increas- ed crop of the country, in which case the whole cropifor the year would be 485,000,- 000 bushels. An average harvest in other countries will leave us a heavy surplus. How this will affect trade, and the business of rail- roads, which do the transportating, form the subject of the speculations referred to, Messrs. Clews & Co. arrive at the conclu- sion that though the exportation of grain may fall considerably short of what it was last year (175,000,000 bushels), yet it would be unsafe to estimate it at the minimum rate for the reason that experi- euce bas shown that it requires two years of average crops to restore the equilibri- um after one year’s failure of crop in Eu- rope. For this reason it is not possible to put a limit to the foreign demand. Low prices will increase the consumption, and this will give employment to railroads and put money into the bands of produc- ers, who will exchange it for goods, and so business will go on without serious embarrassment. The effect on stocks, money and government securities are. all considered and we are pleased to say that Messrs. Clews & Co. are of opin- ion that an increased crop of wheat in this country and an average crop abroad will not be apt to ruin us, CS eee CLEOPATRA’S NREDLE.—We made ip our last yn abstract statement in regard to the Egyptian Obelisk, just arrived at New York, which does not tally with the sabjoined account from the Wilming- ton Star.

There isno doubt that a large number of the Readjuster party in Virginia earnestly desire that some ar- rangement could be entered into by which the Democratic vote of Virginia may be cast for one electorial ticket and thereby save the State tou the Democracy in the pending contest. In the county of Prin- cess Anne, on the seashore, a few days since, a public meeting was held, compos- ed alike of Readjusters and Debt-Pay ers, which adopted resolutions that we must agree to disagree on the debt question and combine on the same clectorial ticket for Hancock and English.

They say that the re- adjustment question is the paramount question in Virginia, and that theyhold the result of the present contest upon the fate of the national partics as en- tirely subordinate. They say that they are struggling for supremacy in the State; that they are marching on to the final battle of P8281, when a Governor, a Tieu- tenant-Governor, an Attormey-General, and a legislature will be eleeted, which legislature will elect a United States Sen- ator and a Supreme Court bench, Sueh is at the present the temper and tone of the leaders; but I have strong hopes that after they have felt the public pulse, and ascertained that a large body of their vo- ters are not prepared to vote as they wish they will be disposed to withdraw and support the regular electoraljticket.” naan ee North Carolina Republicans and - Public Edueatioh. Raleigh News. That is a funny resolution, the fourth in the platform, adopted by the Radical convention yesterday, which declares that “the Republican party has always been the fricud of education.” From January 1868, when the Radicals took fuli posses- sion of the State government, until the close of the fiscal year on Qctober Ist, there was not a dollar spent for teaching either white or black, unless the $69 spent on Pilgrim Ashley’s clerk was for his edusation. For the fiseal year end- ing October Ist, 1869, the Radicals spent out of the edueational fund $ 167 ,358,18. Not one dollar of this was spent in teach- ing the poor children of the State, white or black, to read or fa write. Nearly all of it was divided by the Radical Legisla- ture among its members. In the next year there was spent out of the educa- tional fund $203,411.01. Most of this was used in the purchase of special tax bonds. This is the whole Radical educational record. And these are the efforts which the party pledges itself to continue with increased vgor, if allowed the chance.

Ta- ken altogether, the times then were about as bad as times could be. They have not yet faded from memory, and it is needless therefore, to compare Radical rule with Democratic rnle to see which best fulfills the end of government, that is to say the preservation of the peace and quiet secu- rity of the community. But a great cam- paign is beginning, and experience has taught us that Democratic successes are to be won by Democratic labors, by fair, honest arguments, by bard work, by thorough organization and healthy dis- cipline. Theso labors mainly fall on our friends in the counties and districts ; ours the task of furnishing them and the peo- ple with the facts upon whieh our claims to success are founded, and upon which we must rely for success. From time to time for four fears past we have nade it our business to inform the people of what has become of their money and now at the outset of the canvass it seems a proper time to collect together the facts, that the people may kuow how much taxes they have paid in each year since 1868, and what has been done with them in each year. The tables annexed furnish the information, and any one pay verify the figures in the tables by refer- ence to the books of the Public Treasurer. People who may have been misled by talk of Democratice extravagance have only to look at the figures for 1869 and 1870, when Radicalisin raled in North Caroli- na, and compare them with any of the other years when the power to levy taxes and to expend money had passed into Democratic hands, or with these last four years when the whole adminstration has been Democratic. The Democratie par- ty, they will see, has not only furnished a vastly better government, but the fig- ures show that it has supplied a vastly cheaper government than the Radical party did. If the people wish once more the worst government the world exer saw, and at the highest price, let them elect the Rad- ical State ticket. If they want the best government for the least money, let them vote for the Democratic candidates. ‘The Radicals collected and paid out millions in money and many more millions in bonds, and there is nothing to show for either money or bouds. The Democrats have collected little, have issued no bonds have paid for everything, and retarn a good account of stock in the shape of per- Inavent improvemcuts. No party has ever had a better showing to make to the people than the Democratic party makes to-day. EXPENDITURES FROM 1363 To 1330.

Here is what Jantiary 14, 1873: “I never owned, received, or —_ to receive any stock of the Credit Mobilier or of the Union Paciffe Railroad, nor any diyidends or profits arising from either of them.” The Committee of the United States House of Representatives, of which Judge Poland, of Vermont, a Stalwart of . Stal- warts, was the chairman, made a careful exawivation of the Credit Mobelier scan- dal,.and on February 18, 1873, thirty- four days after the pious Garfield tad taken voluntarily the above oath, they reported ; @ follows : “The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield, as found by the committee, are that he agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobelier stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr. Anies received the eighty percent. dividend in bonds aud sold them for ninety-seven per cent., and also received the sixty per cent. cash dividend, which, together with the price of the stock and interest, left a balance of $3220. This sum was paid over to Mr. Gartield by a check on the Sergcant-at- Arms, and Mr. Gartield then understood this sum was the balance of dividends after paying for the stock.” We submit respectfully that it cannot be charged that in copying Gartield’s voluntary oath and the report of a com- mittee, a majority of whom were Repub- licans, we are mud-slinging. Is Gartield a proper person to make’ President of the United States? What say all truth-lovers and believers in official and personal integrity ? Can any honest Northern [ndepeudent stomach such a record?) The more you examine carefully into Garfield’s record the more unclean it appears. Look at it.

Second, because he received $5,000 whilst a member of the House of Rep- resentatives, from the DeGolyer Paving Company, and gave no service in return, unless he took it as a bribe for his vote. | Third, he spoke one way and voted | another way inthe matter of the Lou- isiana and Florida election returns in| [376. Fourth, he was one of the infamous 8. Fifth, because in 1867 he voted to con- | fer arbitrary powers upon certain Mili- | tary Governors in the South to try South- | erncitizens by military commission or court martial, and to sentence them to death without trial by jury, and without any possible chance of appeal or benefit from the writ of habeas corpus. Garfield did this. Heis surely unfit to be the ruler over any free people. Sixth, he declared in a speech iv Con- gress that he was in favor of disfranchi:- ing forever every Southern who partici- pated in any way in “the rebellion.” Seventh, he declared) most earnestly that he cou'd never give the hand of; friendship to any wan who fought in the | war or sympathized with ‘the rebellion” | auless he confessed himself a traitor. We could easily extend the very serious | objections to James A. Gartield, the Radi- cil candidate for the Presideney, by evoing more at large into the record of his votes and speeches. We will mention one other objection. He voted first for the amendment to the Deputy Marshals’ bill distributing them equally between the two great parties, aud then under the crack of the party lash dodged the vote the second time, taking himself out of Washington. Sach is Garfield. He will not do. Every point raised is a matter of public recagg. It is not, therefore what Wwe say. Chew Jackson's Best Sweet Navy Tobacoc Miraculous Power.

Although candidates are not like angel’s visits, yet the “Country” candidate for the House of Representatives is not very nu- merous. We wish to present to the voters of Row- an another “western” man, who is dcecided- ly the choice of his section so far as canvass- ed. We refer to William G. Watson, resid- ing on the boundaries of Unity and Scotch Irish and endeared alike to both. He is a gentleman of substantial accom- plishments, alive to the political issues of the day, and thoroughly imbued with Dem- ocratic principles. Born and bred a farmer, he is identified with their interests, whilst, having merchandized for several years in Salisbury, he is also qualified to represent ber claims. Having, whilst in S. formed a general ac- quaintance throughout the county, and be- ing endowed by nature with a pleasing ad- dress, he would make a popular and success- ful canvasser.

We see, from communica- tions in your paper, that the matter is be- ing pre‘ty freely discussed as tu who shall be our next representatives nthe General! Assembly. Franklin, true to her motto of “Slow but sure,” has hitherto thought or said but little on the subject. But seeing it so freely dis- cussed by other sections, has fftally brought our people to thiak and to talk. From tonversations recently had with some of our most prominent citizens we are now fully satistied that J. J. Stewart of Sal- isbury, and J. G. Fleming, Esqy., of Scotch Irish, will be the choice of our people. There is no man in Rowan county who has done more hard work for the Democratic party than Mr. Stewart, for which he is clearly entitled to receive some returns. Besides being an Editor and an able and ready writer, it is probably not generally well known that he 1s also a practical farm- er and works regularly at hard labor on bis farm, every day, and returns home at night, after his day’s labor is done to write the ed- itorials for his paper. Mr. Stewart has not sought, nor does he desire the nomination. But we are satisfied if it is viven him he will accept it, and will make an able and active canvass, Should he be elected he will make an able and efficient member, and will guard, not only the rights of the farmer aud labor- ing man, but those of every other class, with faithful and jealous care.

Mr. Epiror: We have been having ex- cellent seasons of late and crops never look- ed tiner; cotton being much in advance of any previous year within our recollection, The wheat crop was somewhat. short, though we made enough to do, and some to spare. The oat crop was almost a total fail- ure. Mr C. C. Krider is makine extensive re- pairs to his already excellent grist and saw mnills and cotton gin. Upon the whole, we think our peop'e are | satistied with the election plan laid down by the Central Executive Committce. Scotch Irish, distinguished alike for the fertility of her soil and the liberality of ber citizens, are no great sticklers for herown private opinions xs to non-cssentia’s, but ever ready to yield tor the sake of harmony and the general good. As fora member to the Legislature ze have an excellent man inthe person of J. G. Ficming, Esg. He should have been elect- _ed two years ago, and would have been, had there not been a screw loose and some un- fair dealing in some quarter. We think he is entitled to, and will re- ceive the nomination of Scotch Irish. As for Sheriff, our people are tired of fool- ing away their time with men who abide the action of Conventions when they reaeive the nomination, but run as independents when they fail to get: it. G. A. Bingham, Esq., of Salisbury was the choice of this township, two years ayo. and will be this year. Scotcn Irisu. P. S. We understand there isa movement on foot to get up a flay for Scotch Irish.

The State Central Executive Committee has promulgated a new rule for voting in Conventions, For instance in Congressional Conventions it is recommended that the rule of voting be, that each county cast 1 vote for every hundred Democratic votes and fractions thereof above fifty, basing the esti- mate upon the Vance vote of 1876. Looking to the official returns of this Dist. for 1876 it will be found that each county has democratic votes, and that each county has a right to the number of votes following: Counties.

Wilkes holds her Convention Aug. 2d These two counties cast 24 votes. Rob- bins cun give them both away and have 15} votes majority. But it is perfectly safe to count half. of these 24 votes for Robbins. This will give him 96} votes on the first bal- lot—6} votes more than a two-thirds major- Ity. The above statement is suggested by a similar calculation made inthe Charlotte Observer. But that paper will find upon ex- amination that it has made, doubtless unin- tentionally, several mistakes in favor of Col. Armfield. It is quite as likely that Robbins will get fractional votes in Alleghany and Watauga counties us that Col. A. will get slices from the coiinties which have instructed for Rob- bins. The above figures isa fair calculation made upon the official returns, of 1876 and upon the offcial returns of the county con- ventions of this year. In view of the forgoing, how can there be any doubt of the nomination of Maj. Rob- bin on the first ballot at Yadkinville ? Cer- tainly there caay be none, unless the ex press- ed will of the people is to be disregarded and trampled upon, and surely the leaders in this foray are not mad cnough for that. eer Ke ~<a Locke Township. JULY, 28th, 1880. Mr. Editur: We observe in the last is- sue of the Watchman that some person, parporting to represent Locke township, suggests the name of G. A. Bingham as a suitable candidate for sheriff. Lest it might be considered that all the voters of Locke endorse this suggestion, we, many voters in said township, while not dis- paragiug the qualifications of Mr. Bing- ham or any one clse, recommend the noin- ination of C. F. Waggoner for the office of sheriff. We do so, because his efficiency, tidelity and integrity have been amply tested by his long, faithful and impartial discharge of all the responsible duties of that office, and because, we believe, he enjoys, iuau eminent degree, the confi- dence of the good people of Rowan and can poll a larger vote for sheriff than any man iu the county. He is modest and unassuming, courte- ons and gentlemanly in all) his bearings and relations, and while he has always voted the Democratic ticket, he does ot feel it incumbent upon himaelf to parade before the public the integrity of his De- mocracy, por does he need any military achievements to garnish his pablic re- cord, or behind which he may entrench himself to solicit more acceptably the suf- frazes of the people. His record is before the people of Rowan, pure and upsullied. At each recurring election his fellow cit- izeus have approved and endorsed it, with av iuerensed majority, and, we believe, they will continue to cudorse it, so long as capacity and efficiency, honesty and integrity are rightly appreciate t and re- warded. Many Vorens. ————— | 0 > oO ROWAN COUNTY. BY J. R. MILITARY AFFAIRS. The Provincial Congress of North Caro- liva, held its fourth meeting at Halifax, be- ginning on the 4th of April 1776. Rowan was represented by Griffith Rutherford and Matthew Locke. This Congress was fully aware that the General Congress at Phila- delphia was continuously moving towardsa general declaration of Independence, and was in full sympathy with it. The North Carvlina statesmen were well aware that in- dependence could not be achieved except by a fearful struggle against the military power of Britain, In order to be ready for this emergency, the Judicial districts were made into Military districts, and a Briga- dicr General appointed for cach, Grithith Roth r.ord was appointed General for the Salisbury District. In Rowan county there were two Regiments and two sets of field officers. OF the irst Regiment, Francis Locke was Colenel, Alexander Dobbins Lieutenant Colonel, and James Brandon and James Smith, Majors. Of the second Regi- ment, (up the Catawba River) Christopher Beekman was Colonel, Charles McDowell, Lieutenant Colonel, and Hugh Brevard and George Wilfong, Majors. Among the com- pany officers, we notice Captains, Robert Smith, William Temple Coles, Thomas Maines and Jesse Saunders, with Lieuten- ants Wim. Brownfield, James Carr, William Caldwell, David Craige, Thomas Pickett, Wm. Clover, John Madaris and Pleasant Henderson. Among the officers of Light Horse companies, we notice Martin Phifer, Captain; James Sumner, Lieutenant; and Valentine Beard, Cornet. These were all, or nearly all, from Rowan county. — This inilitary organization was intended for ac- tive service, whenever emergencies should arise. And the emergency for calling out the soldiers of the Salisbury District soon arose. Early in July of the same year, Gen. Rutherford ted nineteen hundred men across the mountains to scourge and hold in check the Cherokees. This was more of an excur- sion than a war, for there was no open ene- my to face, nothing but hills and mountains and rivers to be overcome, and a secret ene- my way!aving their march and firing upon them from wildernesses, or inaccessible crags along their way. But the object was accom- plished and the Cherokees were compelled to sue for peace. ; In the organization aud drill of these mil- itary companies strange scenes were some- times enacted. Mingled among the patriots there were often men disaffected to the cause of freedom. Some of these men had been Regulators a few years before, and at the conclusion of that contest, terrible oaths had been imposed upon them, which now_en- tangled their consciences. When the Dec- laration of Independence had been made, and it was understood that they might soon be called to tight against the troopsof Eng- land the disaffected began to draw back while the whigs were for moving forward. Pearson, was a whig. pute arose u and of that 69 is a majority; and 90%, is¢wo In the company from the Forks of the Yad- kin one of these strange scenes was once en- acted. Captain Bryan of that company was disaffected, while the lieutenant, Richmond On the muster a dis- n political matters between these two officers, and the company decided that this great national question should be decided by a fair fist fight between the Cap- tain and the Lieutenant, and tliat the com- pany should go with the victor. The fight come Off in dve time and manner, and Ljeu- | slain. tevaut Pearson succeeded in giving Captain at Charlotte. a t ent at Cowan's Ford on the 1st 0: ‘ 1781, when General Davidson fell. Cap Pearson was the grandfather of the Hon. Richmond M. Pearson, the distinguished Chief Justice of North Carolina torso many years. Capt. Bryan became a confirmed loyalist, was-the notorious Col. Bryan, who, ac- cording to Dr. Caruthers, on the spur of the moment collected. eight hundred tories in the Forks of the Yadkin, and marched them off to Anson Court House to the British. While Colonel Fanning headed the loyalists in the region-ef Deep River und the upper Cape Fear, and Colonels McNeil, Ray, Gra- ham and McDougal did the same for the region af the lower Cape Fear and Pee Dee, and Col. Johnson Moore, with Major Welch and Captains Whitson and Murray, sustain- ed the loyalists’ cause in Lincoln, Burke and Rutherford Counties, Colonels Bryan and Hampton, and Major Elrod were the Tory leaders of Rowan county. The chief field of their operations was the region called the Forks of the Yadkin. This was an ex- tensive tract lying between the main Yad- kin and the South Fork, beginning at the junction of these two streams about five miles from Salisbury, called “The Point,” and extending from ‘the Point” northward and westward for a distance of forty or fifty miles, There Col. Bryan ranged over plains and hills, through the Brushy mountains, to the foot-hills of the Blue Ridge. He was connected with Col. Fanning’s troop only in a general way, and does not seem to have been Jike him, a cruel and blood thirsty man. In 1781 Col. Bryan headed his troop of loyalists in the partisan warfare in South Carolina. He was under Major Carden, at the military post established by Lord Raw- don at Hanging Rock, in South Curolina, in 1781. Major Wm. R. Davie, of North Car- olina, with his cavalry troop and some Meck- lenburg militia, under Col. Higgins, hasten- ed to attack this post at Hanging Rock. As he was approaching he learned that three companies of Bryan's lo, alists were encamp- ed at a farm house, on their return from a foraging expedition. He immediately went in search of them, and soon made a vigor- ous attack upon them in front and rear, completely routing them and killing or wounding all of them but afew. The spoils of this victory were sixty horses and one hundred muskets. Major Davie, though an Englishman by birth, was a law student in Salisbury during the first years of the war. Tn 1779 he was elected lieutenant in a troop of horse raised in Mecklenburg and the Waxhaws, and was attached to Pulaski’s legion. He soon rose to the rank of Major. But being wounded in the battle of Stono, below Charleston, le returned to Salisbury and resumed lis studies. In the winter of 1780 he again raised a troop of cavalry, and in the absence of any statement to the con- trary, we would naturally infer that his company was raised in Rowan county, es- pecially since Licut. George Locke of Row- an, wasinit. It was with these troops, and tue Mecklenburg militia, that he cut to pieces Col, Bryan's companics at Hanging Rock. It was thus that our people were arrayed against each other, in this terrible struygle for liberty. Col. Bryan was afterwards tried by the Courts of North Carolina for disloyalty to his country, but no act of inhumanity was proved against him, and no charge was made out except that of being in arms against his country. ‘ From the time that Lord Cornwallis left the lower Cape Fear in the early part of 1775 until 1780, there were few, if any Brit- ish troops in North Carolina, but during all these four years, the flower of the North Carolina soldiery were far from their homes in the North under Gen. Washington, or in the South under Gen. Lincoln, Gates or oth- National Commanders. Thus we read in history that the North Carolina Continentals and a brigade of militia under Gen. John Ashe, were present at Charleston, June 8th, 1776, when Sir Peter Parker was beaten oft from Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island. At the samectime Gen. Rutherford, of Row- an, with Colonels Polk of Mecklenburg and Martin of Guilford, marched nineteen hun- dred men against the Indians in what is now Tennessee.

How it will lina Continentals went to the support of General Washington in the North. The whole of the North Carolina Continentals were with General Washington at the battle of Brandywine, Sept. 11th, 1777. North Carolinians were also at the battle of Prince- ton. At Germantown, also North Carolina troops made for themselves a glorious re- cord, and on that fatal field was poured out some of the best blood of the State. There Gen. Francis Nash, of Orange County, broth- er to Gov. Abner Nash, commanded a_bri- wade, under Gen. Washington, and fell in battle. There too fell Col. Edward Bun- combe and Col. Irwin, besides a large num- ber of subalterns and privates. In 1778 the North Carolina Continentals were found en- gaged in the battle of Monmouth. Shortly after this time all the North Carolina bat- talions, except the third and fifth were trans- ferred under Gen. Lincoln to Charleston, South Carolina. In 1779, we find two thousand North Carolina militia under Gen. Ashe, at the battle of Brier Creek, in Geor- Gen. Lincoln in rushing untrained militia upon dangerous ground, this affair of Brier Creek, was a sd defeat. But immediately after this disaster, the North Carolina As- sembly ordered the enrollment of eight thousand new levies. These were placed under the command of Gen. Richard Cas- well. In the year 1779, Gen Lincoln's forces at Charleston consisted chiefly of six North Carolina battalions. These, Ly vears of ser- vice, had become veterans. Gen. Lincoln placed these battalions in the centre, while Major Wm. R. Davie with his mounted troops led on the right, at the bloedy battle of Stono, And when onthe 12th of May 1780, Gen. Lincoln surrendered Charleston to Sir [Henry Clinton, all the North Carolina Continentals and a thousand of her militia, became prisoners of war. This was a tern- ble blow to North Carolina, at this particu- lar juncture. Lord Cornwallis xt once as- sumed charge of the British forces and marched towards North Carolina, at the very time when her entire forces of trained soldiers were consigned to an enforced mili- tary inactivity. But tomake matters worse Gen. Caswell, with a considerable portion of the North Carolina militia, became connect- ed with Ger. Gates’s army, and on the 15th and 16th of August of the same year, sus- tained the disastrous defeat near Camden, South Carolina. General Rutherford, with the captives. Major Davie with his small small band of troopers, still hovered around the Waxhaws, while Generals Jethro Sum- ner, and Wm. Davidson still kept the field borders of the State. But even these were ressed back as far as Charlotte by the Brit- ish forces. Witb one hundred and fifty cav- alry, and fourteen voluntcers under Major Graham, Coloncl Davie gave Tarleton’s le- gion a warm reception at Charlotte Court House. Bat they could net hold their ground against overwhelming numbers. Re- treating on the Salisbury Road a skirmish gia.

WasHixeTon, July 16.—Jaly re- turns to the department of agricul- ture show that the acreage of tobacco as compared with last year is as fol- lows: Massachusetts, 98 ; Connecticut, 115; New York, 104; Pennsylvania, 113; Maryland, 60; Virginia, 75; North Carolina, 109 ; Tennessee, 92; Kentucky, 99; Ohio, 102; Indiana, 89; Illinois, 99; Wisconsin, 104; Missouri, 91. These States raise more than nine-tenths of all the tobacco used in the country. The States which grow the bulk of seed leaf tobacco, namely, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylyania, are increasing their product. Of the States producing shipping and manufacturing smoking tobacco, North Carolina alone shows an increase in acreage over last year. The decrease in Maryland and Vir- ginia was caused by the ravages of the fly on plants, rendering it impos- sible to procure them in many locali- ties, and severe drought which retar- ded planting. The drought is report- ed as very detrimental to the tobacco- growing States at planting time. The condition of the crop planted for the whole country is but slightly below that of Jast year. The condition of the oat crop shows some improvements since the June report, and is now 96 against 92 in June, The New Englang and Middle States report a high condition, but from Delaware to the Gulf the condi- tion is very low, except in portions of Texas, where the average is high. Tennessee reports only a per centage of 64, owing to the drought. Kansas and Nebraska, from the same cause, report only 84in the former and 63 in the latter. In all sections of the country the prospect is good for a full crop. There has been no change in the area planted in potatoes in the whole couutry, the deficits of one State being counterbalanced by an in- crease in another. The condition of the crop is very favorable, fully as good asin 1879. In all the South Atlantic States the condition of the crop is rather below that of last year, while in the Western and South western States it is reported above. A full average condition of rye and barley is found in all the States where sown, except in the States of Nebraska where the condition is very low, owing to the drought. All the States show the wool clips equal to or greater than last year, ex- cept New Hampshire and California. Kansas reports an increase of 42 per cent., and Nebraska 15. A vast in- crease in the Territories is indicated by the reports received, amounting to 20 percent. In Texas alone 15 per cent. increase is reported. A full average condition is reported every where in apples excepting in the South Atlantic and Gulf States, where there is falling off. The reports show the condition of the peach crop about the same as apples; a full average, excepting on the Pacific coast, where the prospect is not very good. The grape crop is reported favora- ble in all localities. It is reported as having a better condition and growth so far than either apples or peaches. Maximilian’s Remains. In the very heart of Vienna, near the great market place where the peasants sell their vegetables and the butcher his meat, stands the Church of the Capuchins. It is an exceed- ingly common-place looking struet- ture, and there are far nobler looking churches on every square. Its archi- tecture is a mixture of all that is bad and distasteful. But down in its deep vaults repose the bodies of Austria’s emperors, and its long line of arch- dukes.and princes, The place is damp with the mildew of centuries, and the silver urns that contain the royal dust are black with age. Marie Theresa and her beloved “Fronz” repose side by side in a double sarcophagus + and at their feet are coffins of their chil- dren. History records that for thir- teen years the disconsolate empress descended daily into this vault to weep by the coffin of her husband “gone before.” Being angered at one of the little princes‘of her household one day, she sent the poor child down intd thitsame damp sepulchre to atone for its misconduct. The child obeyed the command, but fainted at the~ dismal solemnity of the tomb, and was brought away insensible by the good Capuchin brothers. Inalore-|¥ ly corner js seen the simple coffin of the Countess Fuchs, the only person not of royal lineage interred here, She was the favorite of Marie Thersa,: a a eee sd who bestowed upon her the empty honor of a grave with princes. But we care not for these remains of a despotie race of: rulers. They opposed liberty, and’ reform when living—we cannot respect their ashes. In‘a far off corner of the vault lies a coffin which has something to do with the history of our owntime. It stands alone, and upon it are evergreens, crucifixes and other offerings, show- ing that the royal occupant has but }|just come to his narrow home in the tomb of his ancestors. It is the mortal remains of Maximilian—“Maximil- ian of Mexico,” as the boastful Aus- trians have inscribed upon a coffin. Above waves the Mexican flag, and over all the eagle of that unfortunate country spreads its wings. What a mockery! Even in death the proud Hapsburgs do not acknowledge de- feat. What thoughts arise, as we stand in this royal vault, by the side of this richly wrought coffin, covered with orders and insignia unknown to us! We think of theday when twenty thousand people went to Miramar to to see a vessel sail westward. Then comes vividly to mind the long strug- gles of Mexico; the conflicting ru- mors and uncertain news we read at home, and finally how the unhappy country threw off the yoke of the in- vader. Then of the morning when the unfortunate victim of political intrigue went forth to execution, and giving a handful of gold to the guard begged that the bullet might do its work well. That shot resounded through the halls of the Tuileries and of Schonbrunn, and echoed along the rocky beach of Miramar. We pity the poor dust before us, for the ill- fortune of its life, because it was the puppet and victim of European poli- tics. We hasten out of the damp vaults of the Capuchins. Westminster and Sante Croce interest and please, be- to men of piety, genius and learning. But there is naught here but the mortal parts of the proud and op- pressive Hapsburg.— Boston Journal. a ag gee ens The Guileless Witness. ‘Do you know the prisoner well ? asked tie attorney. ‘Never knew him sick,’ replied the witness. ‘No levity,’ said the lawyer eect ‘Now, sir, did you ever see the pris- oner at the bar ?’ ‘Took many a drink with him at the bar.’ ‘Answer my question, sir,’ yelled the lawyer. ‘How Tong have you known the prisoner ?” ‘From two feet up to five feet ten inches.’ ‘Will the court make the—’ ‘I have, Jedge,’ said the witness, anticipating the lawyer; ‘I have an- swer the question, I knowed the pris- oner whan he was a boy two feet long and a man five feet ten—’ ‘Your honor—’ ‘It’s a fac’ Jedge; I’m under my oath,’ persisted the witness.

Men who do a great deal of brain work need holidays or the machinery will wear out. Give the faithful all means, but do not send him away to work and preach for others. Let him go to seek rest and relaxation. But what we desired to say is not this. We wish to say that the system of having two sermons on Sunday is more honored in the breach than in the observance according to our view. Let there be no night service, but let it be less formal than the morning service and without the sermon. But few men are equal to the task of pre- paring two edifying discources every week, A man can _ hurriedly write two, we grant, or he can talk from two texts without having undergone the requisite mental toil, but they will not beedifying generally, and will be intended for the ‘‘babes” who needa weak and watery diet. The greatest modern preacher, Robert Hall, was once asked bya young minister how many sermons a preach- er could prepare in a week. The great orator replied: A man of quite med- iocre abilities could prepare four; a man of excellent parts could proba- bly prepare two, but a man of first rate talents would have hard work to prepare one. Weare in favor of taking good care of the faithful ministers of the gospel. Pay them well, give them a good holiday, require them to preach but once on Sanday, but demand that the sermon shall partake of the very fatness and marrow of the Gospel and, bear the marks of patient reflection and work manship.— Wilmington Star. ape Andrew Johnson on Hancock. The following is a message sent to Congress by President Johnston when Gen. der on taking command in Louisana: Gentlemen of the Senate aud House of Representatives : Hancock issued bis famons_ or- “An official copy of the order issued by Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, commander of the Fifth Military Dis trict, dated headquarters in New Or- 29th day of Noyember, las reached me through the regular channels of the War De- partment, and I herewith communi- leans, Louisiana, on the cate it to Congress for such action as may seem to be proper in view of all the circumstances. It will be preceived that Gen Han- cock announces that he will make the law the rule of his conduct; that he will uphold the courts and other civ- il authorities in the performance of their propper duties, and that he will use his military power only to pre- serve the peace and enforce the law. He declares very explicity that the sacred right of the trial by jury and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be crushed out or trodden under foot. He goes further and, in one comprehensive sentence, asserts that the principles of Ameri- can liberty are still the inheritance of the people, and should be. When a great soldier, with unre- stricted power in his hands, to oppress his fellow-men, palnntanily foregoes the chance of gratifying his selfish ambition, and devotes himself to the duty of building up the liberties and strengthening the laws of his country, he presents an example of the highest public virtue that human nature is capable of practicing. The strongest claim of Washington to be the first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, is founded on the great fact that thro’ all his illus- trious career he scrupulously abstained from violating the legal and constitu- tional right of his fellow-citizens. When he surrendered his commission to Congress, the President of that body spoke his highest praise in say- ing that he “always regarded the rights of the civil authorities through all danger and disaster.” Whenever power above the law courted his ac- ceptance, he calmly put temptation aside. By such magnanimous acts of forbearance he won the universal ad- miration of mankind, and left a name which has no rival in the history of the world. I am far from saying that General Hancock is the only officer of the American army who is influenced by the cxample of Washington. Doubt- less thousands of them: are faithfully devoted to. the principles for, which the men of the Revolution Jaid down Potomac, since war, who has git n utterance te th noble sentiments in the form ofa mils] itary order. that some public recognition of Gen. ‘Hancock’s patriotie:conduct is due, if not to him, to the friends of law and pastor four or six week’s holiday by |justice throughout the country. Of such an act as his, at such a time, it is but fit that the dignity shouid be vindicated and the virtue proclaimed, so that its value as an example may not be.Jost to the nation.

It grew on a sort of bog, and a muskrat digging his hole un- der it, bit off it roots and it was dead. It was full of limbs and knots and gnarles, and I felt curious to know how it hap- pened that it was so. “Where do all these ugly limbs come from ?” said I. ‘Just where all ugly things come from,” said he. “I am pretty much like you men. Find out where my limbs come from, aud you will find out where all hu- man sins come from.” So [I took out my knife and peeled off allthe bark. But the limbs and knots were left. ‘You must go deeper than that, sir.” So I began to take off layer of wood af- ter layer. But all the knots were there. ‘Deeper still,” said the dry stick. Theu I split it all off, and separating it, the heart was laid bare; it looked like a small rod about six feet long, aud per- haps an inch through at the large end. Ah! aud I was now surprised to see that every limb and knot and gnarl start- ed in the heart. The germ of the starting- point of each ove was the centre of the heart.--Selected. ae The tree will not only lie as it falls, bat it will fall as it leans.

For the fact is that another revolution is going on in this country destined t« be not less momentous in its results (upon as merely a temporary reverse into a fatal and irretrievable disaster.

It may indeed be said, anticipating the future very largely After the last general election | there were many who flattered them- selves that everything would go on much as it did before, the “Conserva- tive instincts” of the country would suffice to prevent any sweeping ghanges England are either absolutely dead or | quickly passing away. The Whigs ‘are no more, aud the Tories, even un- ‘der their changed form of Couserva- _tives, are in the condition described | by Lord Chesterfield : ““Tyrawley and without that both the old political parties of and that Mr. Gladstone’s goverffment would be essentially a reproduction of Lord Beaconsfield’s.

The position of the Conservatives at this moment is very much like that iu which the Democrats found them- selves in the United States after the war. They are without power in the Legislature and discredited out of doors—scattered, enfeebled and dis- heartened. The Republican party of -1864-66 determined to bring about a long exclusion of their antagonists from power by a series of measures which will be too fresh in the recol- lection of your readers to render it | hecessary to them. These measures answered their purposes for ‘sixteen years, but probably no one but Mr. Thad. Stevens and Mr. Sum- ner supposed that they would be per- manently effectual. The Democratic party could be shattered, but not ex- tinguished, In that respect its histo- ry will probably be found to differ from that of the Conservative party in England. The victory of the Eng- lish Radicals last April meant some- thing more than the temporary over- throw of theiropponents. It rests with them to decide whether those oppo- nents shall exist any longer as a par- ty, and no one need doubt what their decision will be. It is in their power to carry out such changes in the present representative system as in future a Conservative majority in five coustituencies out of six would: be next to an impossibility. There can be aredistribution of seats, inthe course of which ineurably Conservative con- stituencies would be swept away, and recal] 1874 and 1880.

Mr. Gladstone’s followers | have signified their wish to be known as the Democratic party, and it is un- der this title that you must soon look for an account of their proceedings. A few old Whigs, or represetatives of Whig families, still linger in the Cabi- net, bat itis only upon sufferance. Already oue of them, the Marquis /of Lansdowne, has felt himself com- pelled to cesign, to. the great satis- faction of the Radical members of the Cabinet, who would) very much like to see all the Whigs thrown over- board. It is assuredly the last Radi- cal, or “Democratic” administration play even the /humblest part. We must look to the | class of omen represesited: -by Mr. Chamberlain for the commanding offvers as well as the rank and file of future governments. jin which they will If the Conservatives had time, they might, perhaps, regain some of their lost gronnd aud stave off the coup de grace a litile longer; bat they have not got it and cannot get. They had their chance between 1874 and 1880, aud let it slip through their fingers. Their old leader, for the first’ time in his life, had all his attention absorbed by foreigh affairs, and could give no supervision to that indispensible work of organization which does more for a party 1a the long run than the most brilliant genius. No one knew better than Mr. Disraeli the importance of when he House of fLords—the organization ; but the cardinal blunder of} his life—he left all “de- went to tails” to be managed by his lieuten- ants, and they were incompetent for the task. ‘The press was insulted or neglected, local committees were treat- ed with contempt, nowhere could a Consrrvative who was willing to work for his party obtain encouragement or even recognition. The leaders believ- ed that Prudence would fight their battles for them,and that soldiers and'ammunition were ridiculous super- fluities. Nothing whatever was done to satisfy the demand for domestic legislation, or to appease and perhaps guide that Democratic spirit which few men in England estimate so right- ly as Lord Beaconsfield. He has never shut his eyes to it, never underrated its power. He began life, as we all know, by professing himself a friend to it, justas Mr. Gladstone entered on his career as an “unbending Tory” —just as Fox began as a Tory and turned Whig, Pitt the younger asa Whig and turned Tory, Burke asa Whig and seceded from liz party after the French revolution, But Mr. Disraeli never lost sight of Democra- cy; perhaps never entirely lost his sympathy with it. It was he who had the boldness to give the people house- hold suffrage and voted by ballot. These were Conservative, not Liberal, measures. Perhaps he would have satisfied the just claims of the Democ- racy if he had paid any attention to them in the critical years between as.it ran across his path. It is true verly punished, even though the rab- bit may have been taken in his gar- den. tween classes have become more and the Pall Mall Gazette since Mr. John Morley became editor of that paper. Mr. Foster once boasted that he had been a Radical “from his cradle,” and I almost think that Mr. Morley could forcible writer, and there can be lit- tle doubt that he will make the Pull Mall Gazette a greater power than it, has been for years past. On Monday last he avowed frankly that the “Democratic legislation” demanded by the people co provided by a “ plutoratic machine, himself compelled to “bring ment, by a change in its construction, into harmony with what, wrongly, he believes to be These are cautions, and yet menacing words, and what they mean is proba- bly this—the abolition of the House ingmen in the House of Commons for a plutocracy. These changes may jonce have been thought remote, but how far distant are they now? The bill affecting Lrish landlords will pass Lords, aud there be thrown out. What will be the consequence? An agitation for the abolition of the up- per House, carried on under the cir- cumstances infinitely more favorable to its success than ever have been be. fore. Earl Russell in his “Recollec- tions,” expresses the opinion that the fall of the House of Lords would on- ly precede by a short time the over- throw of the monarchy. That is an event not beyord the calculations of a large section of the Democratic par- ty. It would, perhaps, be safer to predict that the future government in England will be a republic than that the monarchy will last forever, As for the spirit in which the im- pending changes will be carried out there is no excuse for misconception in regard to that. The large land- owners have very little idea of the bitterness and animosity which are entertained towards them by the peo- ple who live on or around their es- tates. In some cases there is little real cause for this hostility. Beyond the mere fact that posession of a large estate is regarded as an injustice to those who have nothing. But there are many instances in which the land- lord himself has prepared the way for the agitator by neglecting every duty and systematically outraging the feel- ings, if not the rights, of those who were in his power and unable to help themselves. I could point to the vast tracts of land, within a few miles of London, which are left in a state of primeval wilderness, scarcely useful even for the game it preserves, sim- ply because the owner will not let his property out into furms, does not want to cultivate the land himseélf, and is at a loss to know what to do with it. Unnecessary strictness in preserving the hares and rabbits has also been the cause of deep exaspera- tion in the minds of the poor in the rural districts. Lord Stanhope, in his “History of the Reign of Queen Apne,” remarks: “It may be said that in several of our English shires say the same of himself. Heisa very. at present | be done.” Who or what is to pre- uld not be} vent it being done? Mr. Gladstone ” | and that Mr. Gladstone would find Parlia- tak { rightly or | only opens up the game.

What Collector Arthur had to say when President Hayes and Secretary Sherman dis- missed him from the New York custom house, because he was not worthy to serve his country in that subordinate position, But what Gen. Arthur, the Republican candidate did not interest the people much. for the Vice Presidency has to say deserves a passing notice. A synopsis ot his letter of acceptance will be found in our telegraphic columns. He seeks to arraign the Demo- cratic party for its positi8n in regard tothe election laws, and thus it seems to us, puts himself in direct antagonism with the re- cord in Congress of his chief, Gen. Garfield. Garfield voted with the Democrats on the two main points at issue, and now Arthur sails in and gives him a black eye from the Radical standpoint.

He does not consider that the peo- ple and the government will be better off in our hands than in his, but only mourns that his party friends will, now and foran indef- inite period, be left out in the cold without spoils, while the Democrats, by the aid of the political power given us along with the negro vote, will rule the country glourious- ly. This letter is, however of but little consequence. Garfield’s, of which much was expected, fell flat on the public ear, and Arthur's is still more tame and devoid of sentiments likely to excite interest or arouse enthusiasm. It was, indeed, uphill work to write acceptances when they knew the coun- try was against them, and pethaps ‘they have done about as well as anybody else could have done under the unfavorable cit- cumstances.

We not unfrequently see appeals to the old Whigs, made to excite their preju- dices against the name of the Democratic party, and to induce them, if possible, te join the Radical party. Such appeals are, of course, iu vain, but they show the ig- norance and baseness of the leaders of the Radical party when they attempted to in- veigle men who held such principles as the noble old Whig party did, into a union of such a base, treasonable, and revolutionary organization as the Radical party has proved itself to be. As well talk about compounding Christianity with Atheism as Whiggery with Radicalism, There is nothing in common between them. They are as wide apart as the poles. The old Whig was a party of law and order, of principle and decency. The Radical party is a conglomeration of isms, treasons and thievery. An honest old Whig would be as much out of place in the Radical party as the devil would be in a Sunday School. But there is a fit- ness of things in their union with the Democratic party. There so many of the elements of the old Whig party incorpo- rated in the present Democratic party it is dificult to distinguish the two as they formerly existed. There are valuable Whig principles in the present Democrat- ic party, and po wise man of the party would consent to take them out. Really the great differences that separated the old Whig and Democratic parties are of the past. They were eliminated and de- stroyed by the war. Yet the great prin- heiples of civil liberty, of State rights and free constitutional government whieh were dear to both the old parties, still ex- ist and are still honored and inculoated by the remaiving land-marks of these two grand old partics. There is nothing in common with Whiggery and Radicalism. The principles of the old Whig party would never have lead to any such con- dition of affairs as we now behold—such derangement of our cherished system of self-government—such reckless waste and extravagance—such ruinous violation of the constitution, such utter degredation of the States, and such contemptuous dis- regard of civil liberty. These innovations and crimes are peculiar to Radicalism. The idea that a Henry Clay Whig could endorse such things is too absurd to talk about. ———-- a> Hayes Helping Garfiel The members of the Cabinet now in Wash- ington and some of the Republican leaders who are giving direction to the political campaign in Mr. Garficld’s interest, have been in consultation over the question of appointing special deputy marshals in the Southern States at the approaching elec-* tions, and the conclusion reached was that, as the Southern States are certain to go solid for Hancock, and as the Republican com- mittee would have to raise the money to pay these duties, no appropriation having been made by Congress, the best thing to do under the circumstances was to dispense with their services. It was maintained that a few deputy marshals might be appointed in Virginia, if, as the campaign progressed, it became apparent that the Republicans, through division of the Democratic ranks, stood any show of getting a plurality of votes, One fact scems pretty well estab- lished, that the administration is quite ready to appoint officers to serve at the polls if they believe that any political point can be gained by so doing. Those persons who have entertained the belief that President Hayes intends to take no part in the cam- paign, but sit fdly by and restrain bis sub- ordinates from participation in the contest, will be grievously disappointed. To sever- al persons who have been at the White House lately, the President bas indicated a — purpose to do all he could to make General his successor, and this, it is held, means that the whole power of the admin. — istration will be used to overawe timid Re- publicans now in office.

As foreshadowed in the verbal re- marks made by meat the time of phe delivery of your letter, I have new to Say that Laccept the high trust, witha realizing sense of its responsibility and I am profoundly grateful the honor conferred. T accept the pomination upou the platform of priuciples adopted by the convention, which T ecordially approve, and Taecept it quite as much because of my faith in the wisdom and patriotism of the great statesman apd soldier nomina- ted oh the same ticket for President of the United States. His eminent services to his country, his Buelity to the consti- tution, Union and laws, his elear percep. | tion of correct’ principles of the govern- ment as taught by Jefferson, his serupu- lous care to keep the military in strict subordination to the civil authorities, his high regard for civil liberty, person- for such men in board of fi people taken out of the publie treasury by these men for the services often poor- ly performed, or pot performed at all, is lid tbl iy. anbanio a with the’ ne ledge and presumed sanction of the ad- proper administration of. public affaire.}-winistration; te control “elections; and?) tend to Wake Ws the even members of the cabinet are, stroll-. ing about the country making partisan speeches, instead of being jn their de- partineuts at Washington, discharging the publie duties for which they are pajd by the people. Bat with all their clever- ness aud ability, a discriminating public will no doubt read between the lines of their speeches that their paramount hope aod aim is to keep themsélves or their satellites four years longer in office. That perpetuating the power of chronic federal office-holders four years longer will not benefit the- millions of men and women who hold no office, but earn their daily bread by honest industry, is what the discerning public will no doudt fully understand as they wilkalso that it is be- and God’s boantiful harvests that the country is compartively prosperous not because of anything done by these feder- al office-holders. The conntry is com- them, but in spite of them. This contest is in fact between the people endeavoring to regain the political power which right- fully belongs to them, and to restore the pure, simple, economical constitutional government of onr fathers ou one side, apd a hundred thousand federal office- holders and their backers, pampered with place, aud power, and determined to re- tain themat all hazards, on the other. Hence, the constant assumpiion of new and dangerous powers by the general government under the rule of the Repub- liean party. The etfort to build up what they call a strong government, the inter- ference with home rule and with the ad- ministration of justice in the courts of the several States, the interference with elections throagh the medium of paid partisan, Federal office-holders interest- edin keeping their party in power and caring wore for that than for fairness in elections ; in fact, the constant encroah- ment which have been made by that party upou the clearly reserved rights of the people and of the States will. if not checked, subvert the liberties of the peo- ple and the government of limited pow- ers created by the fathers and end inva great consolidaied central government, strong indeed for evil aud the overthrow of Republican ‘Lhe men who framed coustitution knew the evils of strony government Institutions, Wise Our and of loug continuance of political power in the same bands. They knew there was a tendency in this @ireection in all covern- nents and a consequent danger to Repab- ican lustitutions from that) cause and took pains to guard against it. The machinery of a strong centralized general government can be used to perpetuate the same got of men in power from term to term, until it ceases to bea republic, oris sneh only in nome, and the tendency of the party now in power in that cirec- tien, as shown in various Wars, besides a Willio guess recently manifested by a large vamber of that party to eleeta President for an unlimited nonmber af terius, is apparent, nist all thinkiug peaple that the time bas come When it will be safest and best for that party to be retired, quite and salists But in resisting the encroachments of the general government upon the reserved rights of the people the States, I and Wish to be distinetly cises by the general goverument of the powers lighicously belonging to it and uoder the constitution.

Not only a brave soldier, agreatcomtmander, a wise stateman and a pure patriot, but a pru- dent, painstaking, practical man of uo- questioned honesty ; trusted often with important public duties, faithful to every trust, and in the fall meridian of ripe and vigorous manuhood, he is, in my judg- ment, eminently fitted for the highest povition on carth—the presideney of the United States. Not only is he the right man for the place, but the time has come when the best interests of the country re- qitire that the party which has movopo- lized the executive departwent of the general government for the last twenty years, should be retired, The coutinu- ance of that party iv power four years longer would not be beneficial to the pub- lic or in accordance with the spirit of our | republican institutious. The laws of entail have not been favored iv our system of government. The perpetuation of proper- ty or place in one family, or set of men, has never been encouraged in this coun- try, andthe great and good men who formed one republican goverenment and its traditions, wisely limited the tenure of office, and in many ways showed their disapproval of long Jeases of power. Twenty years of continuoys power is long enough, and has already led to ir- regularities and corraptions, which are not likely to be properly exposed under the same party that perpetrated them. Besides, it should not be forgotton that the last four years of power held by that party were procured by discreditable means, and held in defiance of the wishes } fg majority of the people. It waga griev- pong wrong to every voter and our-system. of self-government, which. should never be forgotton or forgiven. Many of the men now in office weré put there because of the corrupt partigan service in thue de- Upon the constitutioual rights of the geu- eral governmeut or interference with the proper exercise of its powers must be earctully avoided. The union of States under the consti- tion must be maintained, and it is well known that this has always been the position ef both the candidates on the Democratic presidential tickets. It is ac- quiesced in every where now, aud finally and forever settled as one of the results of the war, Tp is certain beyond all ques- tiav the legitimate results of the war for the union will not be overthrown or im- paired should) the Demoeratic ticket be elected. In that event proper protection will be given in every legitimate way to ev- ery citizen, native or adoted, iu every sec- tion of the republic in the enjoyment of all the rights guaranteed by the constita- tion and its amendments. A sound currency of honest money, of | value and purchasing power correspoud- ing substantially with a standard recog- nized by the commercial world, and con- sisting of gold and silver and paper con- vertible into coin, will be maiutained ; labor and the manufacturing, commercial and business interests of the country will be favored and encouraged in every legitimate way. The toiling millions of our people will be protected from the de- structive competition of the Chinese, and to that end their immigration to our shores wil be properly restricted.

Caldwell, a well-known fruit fan- cier, living in Sharon township, brought to the Observer ottice yesterday something new in the way of fruit, which he has tisnamed the “Chickasaw plum.” It is a seedless peach. Mr. Caldwell favored us with its pedigree, to wit: An ordinary soft peach grafted on a plum, and, a year interyeniug regrafted. The product from the first graft was a pes-h with a small kernel. The second gisttiug produced the fruit on our table. Figuratively speak- ing, it Jooks and tastes like a peach mi- uus tue seed, In place of the seed isa substance resembling in size and looks. a plumb seed. It is easily masticated, haw: ever, and is not unpleasant to the taste, The fruit has a nice flavor and promises to be a favorite with housekeepers. — Charlotte Observer. bo Miraculous Power. . ‘The Forest and Stream has it: “To:pre- serve health use Warne’s Safe Remedies; 4 rewoving diseases for which recommend- éd.

Ou last Saturday evening, at a small what is Kuown as ‘ilorse Shoe Neck,” Davidson county, some negroes | gathered, as is their custom on Saturday | evenings. N.M. Phelps was the pro- prietor of the store, and Alfred Phelps, his brother, was in charge. The begroes were drinking, and one in particular, Ples. Hairston, obstreperous and insulting in his manner. Alfred Phelpw. ordered lnm to leave the store—the negro refusing After ordering him aut several times, Mr. Phelps, desiring no distur- bance, gave Hairston 50 cents to leave. He did so, but came back tite Phelps bad closed the store, and de- | wauded adinittapce. Phelps retuned to jadmit him, when the negro said that he would force down the door, if le was not allowed to come iu otherwise. Piel pes replied that if he broke in, he would shoot him. The negro broke the door fasten- ings and entered the store. Pielps call- ed to him to “keep out,” at the same time dischargipg bis pistol; the ftirat. three shots were fired iuto the ceiling, for the purpose of frightening the darkey. Hair- ston was drinking and made at Phelps and Was about to take hold of him, when Phelps discharged ove shot iuto the pe- gro’s side, This seemed te sober bim and he left—not hurt seriously, as he’was seen at church the nextday.

Gen, Morgan with his little force gained the memorable battle of the Cowpens over Col. Tarleton, January 17, 178t. Col. Tarleton, with the remuant of his troops retreated precipitately to the main arvy of Cornwallis, while General Morvan with lis plisoners, hastily crossed the Broad River, and pressed towards the Catawba, to effect a jncetion with General Greene. This brought. on the famous. re- treat cf Greene, a military manceuvre, that will not compare untavorably, with Xeno- phon’s furoous “Retreat of the Ten Thous- and.” Mortified at the disaster that had befal- len his favorite offiecr, Tarlton.and hoping to recover the prisoners carried away by Gen. Morgan, Cornwallis began his pursuit on the 23th of January, At Ramsour's Mills— Pincolnten—he destraycd_allhig siperflaous bagersce. and hastened tewards the Cataw- ba River, hoping to overtake Morgan, en- cumbered as lie was with ptisoners, before he could eifveta junction with Gen. Greene's main army, supposed to be now hastening up from Cheraw. But we will probably get a cearer idea of this affair by following each party in succession, one at a time. On the sane day that Cornwallis began his parsiit Jan. 25, 178!—Gen. Greene Was apprised of Morgan's victory at Cow- pens, and ordered Gen. Stevens. with his body of Virsinia militia, whese term of ervice Was about expiring, to hasten te Chario te, relieve Moran of his prisoners, md convey them to Charlottesville, Va., while he himself left the camp on Pee Dee, under Generals Huger and Williams, and hastened, with one aid and two or three amunted imiliia, to meet Mergan on the Catawba On the route he was informed of pas act vvallis and Imuediately val Hlaser to break up Caup on the Pee Dee and meet Mor- van in Salisbury or Charlotte, Gen, Greene roa hed shermil’s Ford on the Catawbe, ten or titteen miles above Beattie’s Ford, on the dist of January, meeting general Morgan there, and taking charge of the future move- ments of his detachment. Gen. Greene iin- im¢diately placed the prisoners in the hands of Morgan's militia, to be carried to Virgin- ’ ie iv by a mare northern route, while Morgan, with lis five hundred regulars, wae left un icun bered, and ordered to guard the Fords othe Catawba, On the same day General Greene issued a stirring appeal to Col. Locke of Rowan, urging him to embody the mili- tia and hasten to his assistance. But so many of the soldiers of Rowan were prison- ers of war at this time, and the fords ot the Catawba were so numerous, and the enemy so near, that very littke could be done to Stay their progress. General Wiliam David- son succecdcd in collecting 300 militia, and was posicd at Cowan's Ford, a few miles below Beattie’s Ford, while Morgan with his regulars was higher up the mver.

It is probable therefore that instead of “Canthards” we should read *Ruther- ford’s Plantation. From “Wiseman’s Mill” there may be seca at many places, the deep eut bed of an uld road, Crossing the county Villa Franca, the residence of the late Dr. PLN. Luckey. ‘Phis road probably led on past “.Atwell’s” old place, past General Kerr’s, now Mr. Hedrick’s residence, and so on past Spring Grove, Cross Keys and on to Tor- rence’s, This was once called the“old Wil- mington Road.” Having left Torrence’s at half past five that morning—Feb. 2d—a march of fifteen or cighteen miles would bring them to “Rutherford’s Plantation,” Any one acquainted with these roads in mid winter, after a hard day's rain, will consider this a wood half day’s march, But Gen. Morgan was ahead of them, and the Yadkin was about fifteen miles from this post. There was therefore but a short rest, and they were on the march again. Ina few miles they fell into the old “Trading Path,” five or six miles south of Salisbury. And asdurkness gathered around them, we conceive that they would be pass- ing along that old “Pathway,” then the Great South Road, somewhere about the western slopes of Dunn's Mountain, in haste to reach Tradiag Ford before Morgan should cross, = Lord Cornwallis appears to have halted ata place which he styles “Camp Cassington,” a fanciful name perhaps. This place may bave been at a point about four ites east of Salisbury, between the resi- denee of Dr. I. W. Jones and the Rail Road. We are led to this conjecture, from the fact that there is quite a number of graves in the forest at that point, and no one can account for their being there, except on some such hypothesis. But while Cornwallis halted, he sent forward Gen, O'Hara, Col. Tarleton, and the Hessian Regiment of Bose to the VYeodiis Ford, loping to tind Mor an on the western bank, But the hope was a vain one. Morgan had crossed early in the even- ing, securing all the boats and flats on the eastern side. When therefore O'Hara and Tarlton reached the Ford at midnight, they found only a small detachment of American rifleman, left there to guard sone wagons and stores belonging to the frightened coun- try people, who were fleeing from the Brit- ish army. A slight skirmish ensued, but the Americans escaped in the darkness. It was those who were killed at this skirmish, as Well as some wounded oncs that were brought trom Cowan’s Ford and Torrence’s that we suppose to have been buried at “Camp Cassington ” During the night the river, already swol- len by recent rains, and always pretty deep in winter, arose to an impassable height, and cut off a!l hope of pursuing the Ameri- can troops on that route. It was now the third of February, and the British troops, after cannonading across the river from the “Heights of Gowerie,” at the rear of the Americans, turned to retrace their steps, and either wait till the river fell or seek an- other route, The following extract from the Minutes of the Inferior Court of Rowan, fixes these dates beyond dispute: ‘Be it remembered that the British army marched into Salisbury on Saturday preced- ing the Febrnary term, 1781. and continued in town till Monday night or Tuesday morn- ing followiny;: therefore the Court was not called according to last adjournment. The minutes of this term were transcrib- ed trom Mr, Gifford'’s rough minutes.” (Signed) “Ap. OSBORN, ©, C.

Friends are won by those who be- lieve ia winning. People’s intentions can only be de- cided from their conduct. Falsghood al ways endeavors to copy the mien and attitude of truth, Every man is bound to tolerate the act of which he himself sets the ex- ample, Truth is the foundation of all knowledge and the cement of all so- cieties. Never lend an article you have borrowed unless you have had per- mission to do so, There is nothing more to be esteem- ed than a manly firmness and decis- ion of character. He who has an opinion of his own, and depends upon the opining and tastes of others, is a slave. It it easy to pick holes in other people’s work, but far more profitab’e to do better work yourself, We mount to heaven mostly on the ruins of our cherished schemes, finding our failures were successes, Never think that God’s delays are God’s denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out, Patience is genius, The practice of duelling still pre- vails in some localities, Recently in South Carolina two men, both spart- ing the colonel prefixed to theirnames, | met and exchanged shots in order, as, they pretended, to vindicate their honor. One of the men was shot dead at the first fire, the other was unhurt except the stain of blood that must ever rest upon him and brand him as a murderer, The laws of South Carolina forbid duelling, and the press of the state is generally outspo- ken against the murderous practice. Whether the surviving murderer will ever be brought to trial and punished ‘according to the moral and legal merit of his crime remains to be seen. The following question by the At- Janta, Ga., Constitution, in reference to this duel is thus very appropriate- ly answered by the Christian neigh- bor, “How long will the people of the South allow themselves, their society and their civilization to be misrepre- sented by assassins and murderers and ruffians?” Answer: As long as war, military displays, military schools and war! heroes continue to maintain their hold over the people, upheld and popular- ized by monuments and the eulogistic utterances of the press, tlhe rostrum and the pulpit, The water running along the hun-| dred pipes of a city can not rise above the fountain from which it proceeds— talk and write as people may. A Useful Man, “There is a man,” said his neigh- bor, speaking of a village carpenter, ‘who has done more good,I really believe, in this community than any person who ever lived in it. He can'| not talk wery well in prayer-meeting, and he dosen’t often try. He isn’t worth $2,000, and it’s very little that he can put down on subscription pa- pers for any object, But a new family never moves into the village that he does not find them out, to give them @ neighborly welcome and offer them any little service he can render, He is usually on the look-out to give strangers a seat in his pew at church. He is usually ready to watch with a sick neighbor and look after his af- fairs for him, and I’ve sometimes thought he and his wife keep house plants in the winter just for the sake of being able to send little boquets to invalids, He finds time for a pleas- ant word for every child he meets, and you'll always see them climbing into his one-horse wagon when he has no other load. He really seems to | have a genius for helping folks in all| sorts of common ways, and it does me good every day just to meet him on the street.—Seleeted. __ ope Dr. Gregory, professor at Oxford, having received for examination the model of an invention for rendering artillery more destructive, exhibited it to Sir Isaac Newton, to obtain his opinion of it, Sir Isaae was much displeased with it, saying that if it tended as much to the perservation of mankind as to their destruction, the inventor would have deserved a great reward; but as it was contrived solely for destruction, he rather de- gerved ta be panished,— Edinburg Encyclopedia, by Brewster, ———$<—s-____ The Jesuits expelled from France have purchased « house at Pragne, at a gost of £6,000, SS fer and asked: lin New York.” As for war, you may mark me for a thorough Quaker.

How surprised and grieved she will be to find that her boys and girls, at sixteen, regard ‘mother’ chiefly as a most excellent person to keep shirts in order and make new dresses, and not one to whom they care to go for social companionship. Yet before they are snubbed out of it by repeated rebuffs, such as ‘run away, I’m too busy to listen to your nonsense,’ children naturally go to their mother with all their sorrows |and pleasures ; and if mother can on- ily enter into all their plans, how pleased they are. Such a shout of delight as I heard last summer from Mrs. Friendly’s croquett ground, where her two little girls were play- ing. ‘Oh! goody, goody mamma is |coming to play with us.’ She was a busy mother, too, and I know would have much preferred to use what few moments of recreation shecould snatch | for something more interesting than playing croquet with little children not much taller than their mallets. She has often said to me, ‘I can’t let my children grow away from me. I |must keep right along with them all ithe time, and whether it is croquet iwith the little ones, or Latin gram- ‘mar and base ball with the boys, or ‘French dictionary and sash ribbons /with the girls, I must be in it as far as I can,’—Serjbner. | | } a | AN Invasion.—Col.

Y. Post. ~—____ Western N. C. Railroad. Maj. J. W. Wilson, constructing engineer of the Western North Carolina Railway Company, passed through Greensboro Mon- day evening on his way home from New York, where he had been during the pest ten days in the interest of the company which he ably represents. During his bricf stay in Greensboro the editor of the Patriot gathered the following facts from him in re- gard tothe Western North Carolina Rail- road : 1. That all matters pertaining to the set- tlement of the contract for the purchase of the Western North Carolina Railroad by W. J. Best and his associates have been ad- justed. 2. That the entire indebtedness to the employes, and others along the line of the road, will be paid within the next few days, probably during the present week. 3. That the amount due the Stateof North Carolina on the 1st day of August, 1880, will be promptly paid to the State Treasurer. 4. That Maj. Wilson in behalf of the man- agement has already made a requisition up- on the Governor of the State for the convict labor named. in the contract, which he in- tends to put on the rouge beyond Asheville, and push forward the work of ponstryction without any further delay. 5. That the road from its present termi- aus to Asheville will be completed within the next three weeks, probably earlies, cer- tainly just as soon as the iron arrives, which President Best will purchase and send for- ward at once. one having a good mine, with clean white ing to dispose of a good, high grade sulphu- ret gold mine, can probably find purchasers by sending their names, with specimens and locality of mines to the writer. lem of the universe, but to find out himself within the limita of his com- prehension,—Goethe. official dispatch, dated Manilla, July 21, says there was another shock of earth- quake at that place, which lasted fifty- five seconds. was spared.

The amount appropriated by the Legis- lature for this purpose for the year was $300. Mr. Whyte paid out $400 last Friday, and will pay out the rest of the appropriation next October. The Cataw ba Indians are on the increase. Last year they numbered 89; last week they num- bered 91.

Bruner: It may interest you to know something of the great Inter-National Sabbath School Centenary Convention, held in London where delegates met from every quarter of the Globe. . The first conference 1 had the prrvilege of attending was held in the memorial Hall, Old Baily London. The subject under consideration that day wag “Position and prospects of Sunday Schools en the Continent of Europe.” In the forenoon, delegates from France, Italy, Sweden, Germany, and Austria, gave ac- count of the work in their respective coun- tries. In the atgernoon delegates from Swit- zerland, Holland, Denmark and Belgium gave acceunt-of the work with them. All of which showed that a great door was opened in those countrigs through the Sab- bath schools tor the advancement of Christ's Kingdom amongst these nations. Atnight there were four large meetings held in dif- ferent quarters of London. I attended one Leld at Marylebone Presbyterian Church, where we had excellent addresses by dele- gatesfrom Paris, Amsterdam, Ontario,Chica go. London and Belfast. Wednesday, June 30th, was a great day at the Crystal Palace. By 10 a. m. over 40,- 000 Sabbath schools scholars and teachers were assembled in the Palace and grounds. At 10} a. m.,various athletic and other sports were started for the young of both sex, and premiums were given to those that excellec, At 11 a. m., short addresses, specimen les- sons, black board’ lessons, &c., were given, intersperced with singing. 12 a. m., the Chrystal Palace instrumental bands dis- pensed sweet music to the assembled mul- titudes. 1 p.m.,a grand Concert was given by some 6,000 voiccs who had been selected ffom the London Sunday School’ Choir, which numbers some 12,000, and taught for some two months by-over 200 teachers (di- rected by one leader) for this occasion. ‘These voices were accompanied by the great Handel Organ and a large instrumental band, It was a grand sight to the eye and sublime to the car, and when 30,000 of the audience united their voices with them it was truly sublime, 4 p.m., entertaiment was given by the Royal Polard Street Handbell Ririg- ers, and tite Holdfast Temperance Handbell Ringers, also at different times performances by the Chrystal Palace Band on the Hand- el Orchestra and by the Band of the Seotch Guards. e At 5d p. m., the water was let on the whole system of fountains in the park, some of which threw the water up 250 feet in the air. It was a grand display. At o$p. m.a.grand Mass Concert was given omthe grounds by over" 30.000 véices4 supported by military bands. 64 p. m. the exercises of the day were closed by a balloon ascension.

Greber, of Litaker town- ship, through the solicitation of his na- merous friends of LitakemeGold Hil, At- well and other townships baa consented, to become a candidate represent the county of Rowan in the agxt General Aa- sembly, subject to the ge mary and nominating c@pventions. If he tails to get the nomination on the 28th instant, he will not bolt but retire, giving his hearty co-operation to tbe nominees of the convention, Hancock and English, as well as the entire ticket of the State offi- cers. Capt. Graber, we think, will makea good representative, being a gentleman of the highest character ; is well qualitied to discharge the duties of the resposible positiou. One great feature about him is, he isa farmer, the thing much harped upon in these days, and being so he will undoubtedly labor earnestly for that class as well as for others. P.S8. Watchman please copy. OO Franklin. Mr. Epitor: The 2ist and 28th are fast approaching, and many of us think it is high time the people settle down on the men that are to represent them in the next Legislature. Every week declares new candidates. It is very true every man can run as a candidate if he pleases, but it frequently happens that the whole political machine is turned bottom up, and men that are the most obnoxious to the people receive the nomination. Now many of us (I don’t say all), in Franklin think that twe among the very first of all the gentlemen recently named~for the Commons, to wit: J. J. Stewart and Frank Brown would makea mostexcellent team for Rowan. They are both able men’) and can make a thorough canvass, and if both these gentlemen: are chosen on the 28th, our forces wilkbe sqjidly launched with sugh unanimity of strength as shall crown our county ticket with overwhelm- ing success; Many of-up are opposed to “dark horses, or old. j The farmers of Rowan.-gonld net be more fully represented in all their inter-: jon of the -pri-- ly more importance than the mere triumph of this or that man; and that they can be secured only by the election of our Dem- oeratic pominees. We are not worthy so | succeed, aud we veed not hope to do so, suits our system, if we alluw ourselves to be scattered aud disorganized vy the mere whims of poli- ticiaus, or our Own selfish desires, likes or dislikes.

Mr. Armfield isa sound democrat, an able man, a faithful representative, and the chosen nominee of our party, we should, therefore, march forward in solid phalanx and give him our united support Anything less would be unworthy of us as men proud of our manhood and princi- ples, and vigilant of our sacred rights.

Our Commission that. I like Jetferson’s way of inauguration. It He rode alone on horse back to the Capitol (I fear it was the old Capita!), tied his horse to eX press a rail fence, entered and was duly sworn; he then rode to the executive mansion and took possession. He in- augurated himself simply by taking the oath of office. There is no other legal inauguration in our system, The people or politicians nay insti- tute honor of the event and public officials may add to the parades in pageant by assembling troops and banners, but all that only comes prop- erly after the inauguration, not before. | And it is not a part of it. Our system does not provide that one President | should inaugurate another. ‘There might be danger in that and it was , studiously left out of the charter. | But you are placed in an exceptional- ly important position in connection | with coming events. The capitol is in ‘my jurisdiction also, but I ama subor- dinate and net on the spot and if I were, so, also, would be my superior “in authority, forthere is the station of general-in-chief. On the principle that a regularly elected President’s term of office expires with the third of March (of which I have not the slight- est doubt) and which the Jaws bear- ing on the subject uniformly recog- ‘nize, aud in consideration of the possi- bility that the lawfully elected Presi- dent may not appear until the 5th of march a great deal of responsibility may necessarily fall upon you. You hold over. You will have power and prestige to support you. ‘The Secre- tary of War,. too, probably, holds lover, but if no President appears he may not be able to exercise functions vin the name of the President, for his proper acts are those of a known su- perior—a lawful President. You act on your own responsibility and by | virtue of a commission only restricted by the law. The Secretary of war is a mouth piece of a President. You are not. If neither candidate has a con- stitutional majority of the Electoral College, or the Senate and House, on the occasion of the count, do not unite in declaring some person legally elec- ted by the people, there is lawful machinery already provided to meet that contingency and decide the ques- tion peacefully. It has not been re- cently used, no occasion presenting itself, but our forefathers provided it. It has been exercised and has been exercised and has been recognized and submitted to as lawful on every hand. That machinery would probably elect Mr. Tilden President,and Mr. Wheel- er Vice-President. That would be rightenough, for the law provides that in failure to elect duly by the people ‘the Hoase shall immediately elect a President aud the Senate a Vice- - W hat*the people want is a peaceful determina- Noother determination could stand the test. The country if not plunged in- to a revolution, would become poorer day by day, basiness would languish and ofr bouds would come home to find a depreciated market. I was not in favor of the military action in South Carolina recently, and if Gen. Ruger had telegraphed to me, or ask- ed for advice, I would have advised him not, under any circumstances, to allow himself or his troops to deter- mine who were the lawful members of a State Legislature. I could not have given him better advice than to refer him to the special message of the President in the case of Louisiana some time before. But in South Caro- lina he had the question settled by a decision of the Supreme Court of the State—the highest tribunal which had acted on the question—so that his line of duty seemed even to be clearer than in the action in the Louis- iana case. Ifthe Federal Court had interferred and overruled the decision of the State Court, there might have been a doubt certainly, but the Fed- eral Court only interferred to com- plicate, not to decide or overrule. Anyhow, it is no business of the army to enter upon such questions, and even if it might be so in any event, if the civil authority is supreme, as the constitution declares it to be, the South Carolina case was one in which the army had a plain duty. Had Gen. Ruger asked me for advice and if I had given it, I should, of course, have notified you of my action immediately, so that it could have been promptly overruled if it should have been deem- ed advisable by you or any other supe- rior in authority. Gen. Ruger did not ask for my advice, and I inferred from that and other facts that he did not desire it, or that being in direct communication with my _ military superiors at the seat of government, who were nearer to him in time and distance than I was, he deemed it un- necessary. As Gen. Ruger had the ultimate responsibility of action, and had really the greater danger to confront in the final action in the matter, I did not venture to embar- rass him by suggestions. He wasa department commander, and the law- ful head of the military administra- tion within the limits of the depart- ment, but, besides, 1 knew that he had been called to Washington for consultation before taking command, and was probably aware of the views of the administration to the eivil af- fairs in his command. I knew that he was io direct communication with my superiors iu authority in reference to the delicate subjects presented for his consideration, or had ideas of his own which he believed to be sufficiently in accord with the views of our com- mon superiors to enable him to aet intelligently, according to his judg- ment and without suggestions from those not on the spot and not as fally cussion on that eubject, the ~ possibili- President, Some tribunal must decide acquainted with all the facts as him- views of the law from theirs, and when legislation has sanctioned the defer to the known judgment of their superior officers of the army, who are so regarded in a great crisis, and are held to such responsibility, especially those at or near the head of it, that it is necessary, on such momentous oc- casions, to dare to determine for themselves what is lawful and what is nut lawful, under our system, if the military authoritics should be in- voked—as might possibly be the case in such exceptional tines—when there existed such divergent views as to the correct result. The army will suf- fer from its ‘past action if it has acted wrongfully. Our regular army has little hold upon the affections of the people of to-day, and its superier offi- cers should certaily, as far as lies in their power, legally and with righ- teous intent, aid to defend the right, which, to us, is the laws and the institutions which they represent. It is a well meaning institution and it would be well, if it should have an opportunity, to be recognised as a bulwark in support of the rights of the people and of the law.

The nominee of the Republican party for Lieutenant-Governor, Gen. Rufus Barringer, told the negroes in Charlotte, that if the Democrats got control of the National Government, their race would be re-enslaved ! That a man from a good family, and with such a brilliant war record in the Con- federate service, should be thus aself- proclaimed traitor to his people, and to truth and principle, is unconforma- ble with: ordinary speculation. But his prestige gives him strength as. a peace disturber. No one can blame simple-minded blacks for believing a white man of his positition, supposed to be “at home” in the areana of occult politics,—and so act in a panic-stricken way, detri- mental to themselves as well as others ; for their interests are inseperable from and identical: with the welfare of the mass of whites, among whom they live, and not in “boosting” into office their self-assertive white leaders. The black race, as a “bone of con- tention,”has long been a sore afflic- tion and drawback to this country ; but no observant, reflective, fairmind+9 ed man will blame the blacks for this. As fax. as, they «are converned, they have been a negative evil, caused By the dissensions of two ¢lasses of whites—horesty of purpose on the one side ; fanaticism.and deception on the other.

And yet these “particular friends” of theirs—the scum of Northern place-seekers, and the untrue men of the Sonth—haye got them to believe that. they were, during the war, “true to the old flag,” forsooth !!!! I make no pretence of “kindness,” to black men more than to white; it is all I can do to take care of myself; but if I could afford to dispense kind- ness, I weuld do so with discrimina- tion. All blacks are not deserving of kindly consideration any more than whites are. But I can s; e:k with can- dor in the interest of truth and gener- al good .wall. es Now, about this re-enslaving ques-' tion: Theemancipation of slavery by war, cost the North (the nation) two thousand doJlars a head for every’. slave, from infants to dotards ; it beg-* gared the South ; it cost the lives of.a million of white men; it cost a waste. of four years time; it cost incalenlably. in Jost honor, honesty aud virtue; it cost many yeara of bitter sectiongh: wrangling and wrong-doing before the war and ever since. Now, I calm- ly ask all sensible black men to gay if they can really think that even if the black man was intrinsically worth anything as property, (which he is not), and that the Democrats, once in ful) power, could te-establish slavery, , (which they cannot), would it beany- thing short of insanity to try over again such a costly experiment ? Again, long hefore the war, nearly all thoughtfal slave-holders desired to get rid ‘of the bondage they were un- der, by sectional usage, of having te buy their labor, and keep it in sick ness and health ; infancy and dotage; good times and bad; loading them down and keeping them at a disad- vantage with the rest of the world, and» bebind progress; and by the work and influence of such men as Clay, Gra- bam, &c., slavery would have been wholly abrogated Jong before the war, for the good of the whites; but gradual- « ly to save injary to the blacks. It was only the persisent intermeddling of pharisaical fanatics, putting the+in- dignant slave-holder on the defensive. that kept it up so long....But now. that all have been rid of slavery. for fifteen years, if you can find a man who candidly says he would be will- ing to try it again—he or I must go into a lunatic asylum. .

And it was estimated that there were near one hundred thousand persons present at the concert besides the performers. While in England we were rejoicing over the spread of the gospel of good tidings bringing peace and good will tomen. We had the counterpart of our rejoicing in Spain, where a few of the faithful celebrated the four-hundredth anniversary of the Holy Inquisitiou. You may remember from history that on the Ist of June, 1480, the Spanish Cortes at Toledo adopted a proposition submitted to it by Cardinal Pedro Gonzales de Men- doza with the approbation of King Fer- ditiand and Isabella, the Catholic, to cen- stitute a Tribunal of Faith which should have power to punish heretics, and pass- eq a law to that effect, Their co-regent majesties forthwith appointed two chief Inquisitors who were soon afterwards su- perseded on account of their leniency to- wards unbelievers subjected to their au- tharity. Thomas de Tayquemada was they nominated in their place. He went like a jury, to work, and could boast at the end of his term of office that he bad caused eight thousand heretics, in differ- ent payts of Spain, to be burned at the stake. His successors did their best to emulate the example he get, and the gross result of their endeavors keing, that down to the year 1803, when the holy office was aboliahed jn the Iberian Pevinsula, thir- ty thousand nine hundred aud twelve men and women had been burned alive by the officers of the Spanish luquisition. It seems strange to us who live in a land of gospel light and hberty, that there should still be persons living who take delight in such monsters of cruelty. SHIP BUILDING ON THE CLYDE. Last Saturday, I took a stroll amongst some of the ship yards, and fonnd them nearly all fully employed. Many large steamers are among the vessels on the stocks in the course of construction. It is astonishing to me to see the amount of ship building done here.

The dias erected for the royal visitors was under a tree and had no other protection. The only ad- vantage its eccupants bad, was a better view, and their standing upon wet scarlet cloth instead of wet grass or slippery mud.

Overman should represent the county of Rowan in the next General Assembly of North Carolina. One of the first and most important re- quisites necessary to make a successful Legislator of any man; isa thorough ae- quaintance with and knowledge of the workings of legistative bodies. Few men can attain to this within so shert a time as it is customary to allow one set to re— mainin. The result is that a representa- tive can aceomplish but little for the rea- son that he don’t know how and what to do. The majority of them, however, man- uge to get the attention of the Honse while they make a speech, which they think warrants their re-election; but they are almost invariably disappointed--they do vot return, When the next Legislature convenes, We again send a bran-new man to represent us, and the consequenge is, that he seldom opens his mouth to speak a word, only to answer roll-call for two months. We want a representative this year who ¢ay begin work as soon us there is work todo. Mr. Overman is the man. Why? Because for four years he held a State office at Raleigh, that brought him in almost consrant attendance upon bath Houses of the Legislature.

There was quite a spirited Democratic Club meeting at Town Hall, Tuesday evening, It waa a regular meeting of the Hangock and Jarvis Club, for ordivary business ; but was jmproved by inviting several gentlemen here this week attend- ing our Special Court, to address the Club. J, A. Williamson, Esq., of Davie, and C, B. Watson, Esq., of Forsyth, very kindly consented. And after the Club had transacted ita yegular business, Mr, Williamson was introdaced by the Presi- dent of the Club, Mr, Theo. F: Kluttz. His speech was mainly devoted toa re- view of the character and record of the two Presidertial candidates, which he portrayed with great fidelity. He also spoke of the vital interests suspended on the results of fhe next election, and the peatedly cheered during the delivery of applause. But public attention was more drawn to Mr. Wateon, and aiore than half of his auditors were feeling bitter towards him for the part he, and especially his friends of Forsyth, are reputed to have taken in defeating the nomination of Hon. Wm. M. Robbins for Congress. Mr. Watson felt his way slowly at the first, by a care- ful review of the present situation of the country, its needs, and the part every true patriot should bear in the work be- fore us. He especially urged that every Democrat should become a worker in the Democratic cause—should go oat after wen who are careless and thoughtless of voting, and are in gross darkuess as to the duty they oweto themselves and the State, and bring them into the ranks. That every Dewoerat should ask hin- self when he lies down to sleep at night —‘What have I dove to-day to rescue the country from the hand sof the spoiler ?” and thus keep himself reminded that a solemn and patriotic duty is resting upon him. The speech was full of good practical seuse from first to last, and blazed with an enthusiasm which speedily melted away much of the smouldered feeling of dislike which his audience had for him. He, also, was repeadetly cheered, and closed his half hour speech to the regret of many. an 7 ASHEVILLE, Aug. 16, 1880.

An attempt to de-| scribe this speech would be futile. It! was just snch as only Mr. Shober could make.

Kluttz, Elector for the 7th Congressional District was next introduc- ed. He made a short, and stirring appeal to all Democrats to rally to the support of our standard bearers but excused him- self, saying that Mr. Shober had so com- pietely exhausted the sabjeet that it left him nothing to say. Mr. J. J. Stewart being present was loudly called fur. He mounted the plat- form merely to thank the people for the compliment; said his name had _ beeu mentioned in connection with the Com- maus ; said he was not 4 candidate of his own volition ; had not aspired to the po- sition, hut ifthe people nominated him he would make a canvass and do the best he could to secure his election and that of the entire ticket. _ Mesars.

STEWART. ROWAN COUNTY. BY J. R. GENERAL GREENE IN SALISBURY. Having followed the track of the British army from the Catawba River to Salisbury, thus giving a continuous narrative of their ‘march, let us now return and trace the course of Generals Greene and Morgan over nearly the same ground. Unfortunately we have not in this case, the benefit of journals, maps, and “Order Book,” as before, but still we shall be able to ascertain some facts con- cerning this day's march. General Morgan crossed the-Catawba riv- er at the Island Ford, on the nothern bord- fer of Lincoln county, on the 28th of Janu- ary, 1781, only two hours ahead of the Brit- ish van-guard, under Brigadier General O'Mara. It was just at the hour of sun-set when the British came to the banks of the | broad stream, sweeping onward with its | wintry current from the foot of the Blue Ridge. In the darkness there was danger in crossing the stream, especially with the courageous Morgan and his army on the other side to receive them. But with a trained army of two thousand, unencumber- ed with baggage or prisoners, the British Commander could contidently calculate up- on overtaking the Americans, numbering only about one thousand in all, half of whom were militia, and embarrassed with the five hundred prisoners lately captured at Cow- jpens. The passage of the Catawba was | therefore postponed until the next morning. | That delay was the salvation of Morgan land his little army. During the night the jvain fell in torrents, and by morning light the river was brimful and unfordable, in which condition it remained for forty-eight hours. For two days the British were com- pelled to linger on the western baaks, while Morgan and Greene were on the other side planning the details of the retreat. Send- ing the five hundred prisoners off, under the care of the five hundred imilitia, by a route higher up the country towards Virginia, Gen. Morgan with his regulars, seems to have remained on the east bank of the Ca- tawba, watching the British and prepared to dispute their passage. But when it was ascertained that they had crossed below him, at Cowan's Ford, on the Ist of February. Gen. Morgan began his retreat towards the Yadkin, As he was higher up the river, we | conjecture that his route was along one of the upper roads, either the Beattie’s Ford or Sherrill’s Ford Road to Salisbury. His torcés appear to have reached Salisbury late the same afternoon, and were not concerned | in the skirmish at Cowan's Ford, or at Tor- rence’s Tavern. There is a tradition in Sal- | isbury, that as Morgan’s troops filed past | George Murr’s house, at the east cerner of | Main and Franklin streets, where Charles | Gordon now lives, some of the men mischiev- | ously punched out soine paines of glass with ij their bayonets. This must have been late lin the afternoon, for Morgan’s troops en- /eainped that night about halfa mile east of Salisbury, on the Yadkin road.

The encampment {must have been in the grove where the res- | idence of John 8S. Henderson, Esq., now is, i There they would have the advantage of ‘two or three excellent springs of water, abundance of fuel, while at the same time j they would be near enough to the town for / convenience of supplies, and directly on the | line of march for an early start in the morn- fing. | It appears that Dr. Read, the surgeon of | Morgan's army, with the hospital stores, and ; some wounded and disabled British officers, some tine in advance of the troops. He was stopping at the Tavern of Mrs. Eliza- beth Steele. This Tavern was on the north ent Court House now stands, probably at the corner of Main and Liberty streets, ad- Dr. Read was sitting in the apartment over- looking Main street, engaged in writing pa- roles for such British officers as were unable, from sickness or debility to proceed further, when he saw riding up to the door, General Greene, ungccompanied by his aids, or by any person whatsoever, and looking quite forlorn, “How do you find yourself, my good gen- eral?” eagerly inquired Dr. Read. “Wretched beyond measure—without a friend —without money—and destitute even of a companion,” replied Greene, as be slow- ly dismounted from his jaded horse. The general had dispatched his aids to different parts of his retreating army and had ridden through the rain and mod of Rowan winter roads, over thirty miles in a direct line, not allowing for excursions to the right and left, during this exciting day. Besides this, he had for themes of sad meditation the two disastrous skirmishes of the day, and apprehensions of the near approach of Col. Tarleton and bis light-dragoons. This con- dition was truly a discouraging one. But help was nearer than he imagined. Mrs. Steele, the patriotic and kind-hearted hos- tess, had averheard his desponding remarks upon alighting, and determined that he should abhtain such relief as she was able to afford. In dug time a bountiful rejiast was sprcad before her digtinguishcd guest, while a cheer- ful fire crackled on the hearth, and shed its genial warmth throughout the room. While Gen. Greene was sitting at the table, and the discouragement engendered by hunger, fatigue and cold was disappearing before the comforting ipfiyences of his environ- ment, Mrs. Steele approached him, and re- minding him of the desponding words he had uttered upen his arrival, assured him of her sympathy and friendship. Then drawing two small bags of specie from un- der her apron, she presented them to him, saying gracefully; “Take these, for you will want them, and Ican do without them.” Mrs. Steet was not poor, as the remarks of some writers upon this subject, would lead us to infer, anc eee cquid have filled his pockets with procametics money,” worth less than Confederate notes were in the beginning of 1865. But silverand gold SS oaapeeeall —_ ‘}More welcome. because officer or gentlem would have complained of the burden of ¢ gi it gl with him. _The general-acce aaa gift with gratitude, and doubtless it was all the ied graceful words, of iindaciase once = ment. The hero’s heart was’ lightened by opportune kindness, and after a few hours of rest, he went forth to superintend and direct the retreat of his little army and vide for their transportation across the adkin, Just before the departure from Salisbury Gen. Greene left a memorial of his visit of a peculiar kind. His eye caught sight of a portrait of George the IIT, hanging on the walls of the room. This portrait had been presented to a connection of Mrs. Steele by a friend in the Court of England, some years before. The sight of his picture recalled to the mind of the general the sufferings which at that moment his countrymen were en- during, and the blood that had been shed in the struggle to throw off the shackles of slavery which the English king and Parlia- ment were trying to fasten upon the Ameri- can people. Ina moment he took down the picture, and with a piece of chalk wrote on the back of it; “O Georeg! HIDE THY FACE AND MOURNE.” He then replaced it, with the face to the wall, and mounting his horse rode away. The picture with the writing still visible, is the property of the family of the late Archibald Henderson, Esq., of Sal- isbury, a descendent of Mrs. Steele. But it jas not been in the possession of the family for many years, When Dr. Foote wrote his Sketches of North Carolina, in 1846, it was in the Post office, at Charlotte. When Col. Wheeler published his History of North Carolina in 1851, it was in the possession of Governor Swain, the President of the Uni- versity, at Chapel Hill. It is thought to be now in the hands of the widow of Governor Swain, in Raleigh. Mrs. Steele’s first husband was Robert Gillespie, who in partnership with Thomas Bashford purchased a large number of lots in Salisbury, about 1757, and among them the lot on which they carried on a village inn, the same that was afterwards owned and occupied by Mrs. Steele. Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie had two children. One of these was a daughter named Margaret, who be- caine the wife of the Rey. Samuel Eusebius McCorkle D. D., so long the pastor of Thya- tira Church, and Principal of the “Zion Par- nassus Academy,” where he educated so many men during the closing years of the last century. The other child was a son, named Richard Gillespie, who was a captain in the Revolutionary war and died unmarri- ed. He was of a peculiarly bold and defi- apt spirit, and when the British entered Salisbury, he rode in sight of them, waving his sword towards them in a menancing manner. As he had but one companion. “Blind Daniel,” so called from having lost one cye, a kind of hanger onin Salisbury, of course he did not remain to carry out his menances. After the death of Mr. Gillespie, his widow married Mr. William Steele of Salisbury by whom she had anonly son, the distinguished General John Steele, who was an ernament to his native town, and to his whole country. His services were rendered at a later day. During the day of the second of February, Generals Greene and Morgan proceeded to the River, at Trading Ford, and succeeded in crossing that stream, and securing all the flats and boats that had been used in carry- ing over the baggage and infantry on the other side. About midnight, as before re- lated, Gen, O'Hara, with the van-guard of the British army reached the river, and had asHyht skirmish with the detachment left hebind to guard some refugees, with their wagons and household stuff. But Morgan’s cavalry had forded the streath long before, and his infantry had passed over in a bat- teaux. Another copious rain in the moun- tains had swollen the Yadkin to a mighty river, and the British commander, like a lion robbed of its prey stood chafing on the wes- tern bank of thestream. From the Heights of Gowerie—generally known asthe “Tor- rence Place’—the British, with their field glasses could sweep their vision far over the famed “Jersey Settlement,” with its rich lands, and substantial farm houses. The Torrences, the Macnamars, the Smiths, the Pottses, and other prominent families dwelt in that region. Gen. Greene himself seem- ed in no hurry to leave that region. From this height the British opened a furious canuonade across the river. Dr. Read, the American Surgeon, before mentioned, has left this record of the scene, as given in Col. Wheeler's History. “At a little distance trom the river was a small cabin in which General Greene had taken up his quarters. At this the enemy directed their fire, and the balls rebounded from the rocks in the rear of it. But little of the roof was visible to the enemy. The General was preparing his orders for the army and his dispatches to the Congress. Ina short time the balls began to strike the roof, and the clapboards were flying in all directions, But the gen- eral’s pen never stopped, only when a new visitor arrived, or some officer, for orders; and then the answer was given with calm- ness and precision, and Greene resumed his pen.” This cabin stood about two hundred yards cast of Holtsburg Depot, and a rod or two to the north of the county road, at the foot of the hill. The reader will recollect that it waa a part of Greene’s original plan, that the larg- er part of his army which he had stationed at Cheraw, should hasten to join Morgan’s division at Charlotte, or Salisbury. Butthe rapidity of their movements effectually pre- vented the accomplishment of this purpose. Instead of meeting Morgan’s division, Gen. Huger marched upon the eastern side of the Pee Dee, past the Grassy Islands, through Richmond, Montgomery and Randolph coun- ties, to meet Gen. Greene at Martinville, or Guilford Court House, where he arrived on the evening of the seventh of February. From Trading Ford, Gen. Greene moved on to Abbott's Creek meeting-House, still in old Rowan, and halted for two or three days to rest his troops and await further de- velopements. During his stay there he made his headquarters at the house of Col. Spurg- en, a Tory. who of course was not at home to receive him. But his wife, Mary Spurgen, was as true a Whig as ber husband was a Tory, and like Mrs. Steele in Salisbury, she showed him all the kindness in her power. While staying there he was naturally anx- ious to know whether the British were still in Salisbury, or whether they were moving up the river. In this state of perplexity, he inquired of Mrs. Spurgen whethershe knew any one whom he could trust to send back to the river for information. Mrs. Spurgen promptly recommended herson John, a mere youth,as perfectly trustworthy. After convin- cing himself that this was the best he could do,he mounted John on his own horse,direct- ing him to go to Trading Ford, and if he could not hear of the British to go up the river until he could gain information. John went, and hearing nothing at the Ford went several miles up tne river. Still hearing nothing he returned home and reported. Greene started him off,again, and told him, that he must go as far up as Shallow Ford, if he could hear nothing before that time. John took the road again, and actually went as far as Shallow Ford, some thirty miles from bume, where he saw the British crossing the river. Hastening home with all speed: he reported his discovery to the General. Instantly Greene ordered his horse and was off for Martinville, where he met Gen. Huger and the eastern division of his army, as mentioned above, on the erening eee pat Atwell’s township by a. L. Sloan, i, Augast r.

ANNOUNCEMENTS, —_—~-ea-—____ Fellow Citizens of Rowan County : , I announce myself as a candidate for re-election to the office of Sheriff of Row- an County- -subject to the primary town- ae meetings and County Convention to be held on the 21st and 28th days of this month. I take this occasion to retarn my sin- cere thanks to the voters of Rowan for their long continued confidence and sup- port. I have earnestly endeavored to discharge my public duties according to law, favoring the people with whom I have had business, as much as I could. Your continued support up to this time 1g an asgurance of your unbroken cerfi- dence. I thank you for it. And if it shall be your pleasure to re-elect me, I will serve you with thé'same carefulness and devotion I have ever done. I deem it proper to say that, while I have been an unwaveriug Democrat since the war, and am still, I have not allowed my political preference to influence me in the discharge of my official duties. The office of Sheriff is purely executive. It is not political. I have not abused the office to advance the interest of any par- ty. I have left politics to the people themselves, to whom they properly be- long. The duties of Sheriff should be impartially performed, and that officer should make no difference between Dem- ocrats and Republicans. It is his duty to ignore politics. I have carefully pur- sued this course, aud if re-elected will continue to do so. It is objected that I “bolted” the decis- sion of the Democratic County Conven- tion two years ago, and therefore I should be ruled out of the Democratic primary meetings and County Convention. 1 feel that this objection is absurd and ridica- lous. This question was decided by you at the ballot box two years ago. You all know the history of the Convention of 1878, and hundreds were thoroughly of- fended by it. Many of the best Demo- crats in the County urged me to disre- gard its action because it was so manifes- tly unfair, and to take the field against it. I did so, The validity of that Conven- tion was put on trial before the people, and they elected me by a large majority over Mr. Bingham, Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Plyler. This, I thought, and still think, settled the question of my “bolt- ing.” In conclusion, on the results of that contest I claim that I have as good a right to come before you now asa can- didate for Sheriff as any other Democrat in the County, and that I have done noth- ing in the past to forfeit your good opin- ion. Your obedientiservant, CHARLEs F. WAGGONER. Salisbury, Aug. 9th, 1880. TO THE VOTERS OF ROWAN. I announce myself as a candidate for a seat in the lower House of the next Leg- islature, subject to the action of the Dem- ocratic County Convention. I sball be grateful to my friends for the nomination, and if nominated, I pledge my best efforts in behalf of the whole ticket. Should it be the pleasure of the Party, however, to nominate another, I shall yield willingly and enter the great contest as an humble private in the ranks, Frank Brown. Salisbury, N. C., Aug. 11th, 1880. A Card. To the People of Rowan County : I am a candidate for the office of Sheg- iff subject to the approval of the Demo- cratic County Convention, called to con- vene in Salisbury on the 28th inst. I am induced to make this announcement, be- cause I believe it to be the wish of a large majority of the Democrats of the county. If 1 shall receive the nomination, I shall make a eanvass which I hope will be satisfactory to the party, and do all in my power to assist in a glorious victory for our noble standard bearers on the Na- tional and State tickets. In conclusion, I beg to return my warmest thanks to my friends for the enthusiastic support given me during the last canvass, and notwith- standing I was defeated by the Republican party, I have the satisfaction of knowing that I received a considerable majority of the Democratic votes in that contest.

Correspondent of the Raleigh Observer. eS ey es Cesus Taking in the South---How it Affects Republican Leaders, Wasntnaton, August 11.—There are un- mistakable signs that the radical leaders in- tend to try and force a new enumeration ot the census in several of the Southern States under the plea that gross frauds “or irregu- larities” have been practiced. In expecta- tion that the South would show aconsider- able increase over the census of ten years azo, the Republicans many months before the census supervisors were appointed start- ed the cry that there was a conspiracy on foot among the Democrats to secure larger represention under the new apportionment than they were justly entitled to by means of a fraudulent enumeration. Now thatthe returns of the census South are coming in freely and showing very heavy increase in many localities the Republicans renew their cries of fraud, and demand that a new enu- meration shall be tuken. A prominent offi- ce-holder said to-day that he was advised that the President was convinced that some of the Southern States are not entitled to the large increase shown by the present cen- sus, and that steps ought to be taken to rec- tify the matter. This would seem to indi- cate that the President intends to be a wil- ling instrument in the hands of Republican leaders to dispute the returns sent here. Of course nothing can be done at present, but the complete returns will have to be exam- ined at the census bureau before any definite action can be taken inthe matter. Itis clearly the purpose of the Republicans to try and deprive the South of the heavy gains in her population, but there is nottheslight- est doubt that they will signally fail to ac- complish their ends,—Special to the Balti- more Sun, ——_ +> Making Nitro-Glycerine. The agitator is a lead reservoir three feet deep and three in circumference, capable of holding 1,500 pounds of acid and 1874 pounds of sweet glycerine. In the interior of the agitator a lead pipe coils around the edge several times and through this the wa- ter is kept running constantly while the mix- ing process is being carried on. Another lead pipe leads from the top to the bot- tom of the agitator, and at the top of this pipe is placed a large tub containing the sweet viyceiine. The faucet on the tub is so arranged that a stream about the size of a straw is kept running all the time. A large paddle wheel, reyolyed by steam, is placed in the center of the agita- tor, and the acid placed in the reservoir. Now commences the danger. The pad- dle wheel is set in motion, the acid begins to revolve around at a rapid rate, and the sweet glycerine begin to run in and mix with the acid. Should the sweet glycerine run in too fast a fire ensues, and the oil has to be cut off, the engine runs faster and the fire is subdued. After the 187} pounds of sweet glycerine has been thoroughly mixed with the acid it is diiwn off into what is known as the drowning tank, which is sim- ply a twenty eight barrel tank, containing water with one inlet and two outlets. As the compound comes from the agitator the glycerine sinks to the bottom of the recep- tacle while the refuse acid comes to the sur- face and runs out through a lead pipe and off on the ground. The nitro-glycerine, amounting to about three hundred and sev- enty-five pounds, is then drawn off in buck- ets and placed in a small wooden recepta- cle known as the wash tank. This tank is surmounted by a barrel, into which water and steam are introduced. From this bar- rel warm water runs down into the tank and thoroughly purifies the compound. This operation continues about two hours, when the water is withdrawn and the compound treated to an alkali bath, which lasts about two hours. It is then drawn filtered and canned, when it market, out in pails, is ready for When the sweet glycerine goes into the acid it is about the consistency of syrup and at the close it much resembles lard oil. After the explosive is canned it is carried to the magazine in -which-a large iron safe capable of holding 3.000 pounds of the com: pound, is located, there to remain until a given why Democracy, of which he is purchaser arrives, which is usually not very | the chosen personification, should tri- Jong.

It says: “With marvelous effrontery the Ral- eigh (N.° C.) Observer says of the Demo- cratic party , “They have never winked at irregularities because an exposure would hurt some of their friends, nor have you ever consented to jubs because some of their friends might be thereby benefitted.” The Observer, if it would trace back the history of its party in its own State a very few years, might ran afoul of the record of a Democratic State Treasurer that would very decisively dis- prove its assertion.” The State Treasurer ‘‘a very few years back” was David A, Jenkins, a staunch Republican, whose son, A. D. Jenkins, is now the Republican candidate for that office. The present Treasurer is Dr. Worth, who went into office in 1877, and whose record is as clear asa_ whistle. What were the irregularities in Mr. Jen- kins’ administration to which the Times allades? -We will print the facts with pleasure.--Raleigh Observer. eee Our Population. We publish to-day the Census of 1880. It shows a most. gratifying increase, more by 75,000 than we ventured to an- ticipate wonths ago. In 1870 our popu- lation was 1,071,361, according to the ex- act returns published in the American Al- manac for 1873. That given ip our col- umns is taken from the Raleigh News and makes a difference of a few hundred only. In 1880 the population is stated to be 1,410.133—an actual increase of 333,777, or 314 per cent. So far from this census being in excess, we are almost sure that there are 25,000 more people in the State than are reported. It is known that in the towns people are overlooked. In this little city alone it is believed that mor than enough were skipped to bring ou population up to 18,600. If in towns where Iu other places there were omissions. chumerators can go from street to strec: there are persons who aie overlooked io must it be in the couniry ? It is provabue that in every county there are huudreds who were not included iv the census re- ports. But we are satisfied with the ex- hibit as itis. It is, we repeat, very grat- itying,and guaranices that North Carolina will retain her eight members in the House With some chance of gaining one. The Raleigh Observer says; “The gain in the First Disctriet, em- bracing the northeastern part of the State, is 47,113, which is about 264 per cent. The gain in the Second District, embrac- ing the southeastern and southern central section is 90,000, or about 33 per cent. “The gain in the north central section is 113,226, or about 26% per cent. The gain in the western section is 67,990, or about 33% per cent.” a a <#¥ Why do certain papers persist in speering at the sale of the Western N.C. Railroad? Is it for the purpose of reflect- ing upon Gov. Jarvis? It looks that way, and is very unjust. Ifthe sale fails, the State will lose nothing by it. If it Holds Good, the people will be relieved of a great burden of tax. Takeeither horn of the dilema, these growlers ought to be satisfied. If it was sold for too little, and Mr. Best can’t pay even that little, as they say, they ought to Le satistied, since the State will resume control. On the other hand, if it holds good, and the people who are relieved of a great burden are satisfied, they as friends of the people should be. The truth is, these growlers are making themselves ridicul- ous. a cee FURCHASE AND KAMsay.—We under- stand that the Radical Convention at Yadkinville last Saturday nominated for Congress Judge Furchase, of Statesville, and Dr. J. G. Ramsay of this County for elector. These are of the most respecta- ble gentlemen of that party in the district. They stand high in their own party, pos- sess clever ability, and insurea courteous and genteel canvass. One Good Point. There is one good point very hap- pily put in the missive, which is a clear recognition that the war is over. We are glad that one of the parties at least knows this.—N. Y. Herald, Order No. 40. Gen.

GA CAN. » oe THE STATESMAN IT ancock.—Nearly every day something is brought to light bearing upon the character of Gen. Hancock, and showing how patriotic and wise our soldier- statesman has ever been. The more his re cord is ventilated, the more he appears to As we proceeded the trail fresh- merit the profound respect and esteem of his countrymen. His utterances, whether public or private, are always on the same line. He ever exalts the constitution and the laws, and pleads for harmony, good will eued and ere long we came across the half consumed ruins of the wagon left by the Benders in their flight. Burdened as they were with much cam- brous baggage, they had not been able to make very great speed, but they had used every possible effort to put space behind them. It was 3 o'clock on a hot sultry May afternoon that we came in sight of the party. They saw us as soon as we came from the cover, and abandoning everything they broke for the forest. They plunged into the woods and_ scattered. We were close upon their heels, however, and they did not succeed in eluding us long. The old man and his wife and Kate were under arrest in less than an hour. John, Jr., was more fortunate than the other meibers of the tribe, for he con- trived to evade us for an hour longer, but he was at length run to cover and forced to surrender. Every one of them showed fight, but with the exception of Kate they all weak- ened when it came to the scratch. She emptied every chamber of her revolver into our faces, but her aim was bad and she did no serious damage beyond maim- ing ove of our horses and clipping a lock of hair from my temple. The bullet rais- ed a ridge along the skin, the mark of which shows to this day. She finally suc- cumbed to superior strength, but to the last maintiaved the same dare-devil, reck- less demeanor.

He was a presidential elector and Judge in 1344, United States Senator in 1848, and Governor of Georgia from 1853 to 1857. He was also the Democra- tic candidate for vice-president with Dou- glass in 1860, and a member of the seces- sion convention in Georgia in 1861, when he opposed vigorously the policy of leaving the Union; in 1863 was elected to the Confederate States Senate aud presided over the State constitutional convention in 1865. In 1866 he was elected United States Senator but was not permitted to take his seat. In 1873 he was elected a judge of the State which position he held at the time of his death. The Great advance of agriculture in Georgia is indicated by the fact that up| to 1874-75 the cotton crop of that State | was only about 500,000 bales. Now it is y about 900,000.

Even the old woman chipped in occasionally, and her appearance indicated that sbe wholly approved of the family demonatra- ley, a fusillade of curses and ribald abuse. prescribed and then pronounced the sen- received with jeers from the hardened criminals, who had determined to brave it out to the last. It was decided that the murderers should be shot, as it would take too much time to hang them. The sun was already nearly down and the shadows of approaching night were deepening. There on the borders of the forest the cruel killers were tied to sap- lings and told to prepare for death. One of our number, who had not quite forgot- ten his early education, undertook to of- fer a prayer, but Kate spit in his face |while he was addressing the Throne of | Grace, and he quit right in the middle of a sentence and drew off in disgust. The four died with curses on their lips, hard- ened and unrepentant to the last. There in that lonely, dismal spot, away beyond the confines of civilization, they met a righteous retribution, with their souls black with crime, and murder. Their executioners treated them better than they treated their innocent victims. They were killed quickly and painlessly, not butchered brutally. To be sure, not much time was wasted in burial, but it Was growing late and the vigilantes had aloug vide before them. A hole, made by the displacement of the roots of a fal- len cottouwood, was made a little larger and deeper and the bodies thrown in and hastily covered with loose earth, rocks and brushwood. This was all there was tothe funeral. On reaching the level again the effects of the Benders were stacked and burned as a eort of an offer- ing to heaven. We then proceeded north- ward, seperating before reaching the set- tlement, each seeking his home quietly. There was vo blow made about our achievement, each man keeping his own counsel. The secret was well kept, and aud it was weeks before outsiders stopped prowling around in search of the Benders. TT I eA All for Love. New York Herald. A young man and woman, unmarried, have in a New England city been loung- ing about in the houses of absent rich citizens, cating drinking and stealing, and now we are told that their affection for each other has gained for them the sympathy of the towns-people! It is time that bounds be placed to sentimen- tal nonsense on the subject of Jove, for the public feeling on the subject threat- ens to undermind every moral and social virtue. A majority of the people talk and act as if love were a sufticient excuse for any crime, and as a reciprocal passionate attraction between men and women de- serves to be dignified by the name of love yet most of the people who talk this sort of nonsense are last to admit its applica- tion if they happen to be sufferers by it. If the young man implicated in the con- temptible thefts alluded to really loved his feminine companion he would not have made a fellow burglar of her; he would have respected her too much to lead her into vulgar carousings; he would have endeavored to raise her in the respect of all with whom she might ever come in contact, instead of allowing and assisting her to fix euduring blight upon her name. Any one who is inclined to accept the infatuation of these young people for each oiher as palliation for their offence should make haste to inspect his honesty and affections, for both are sure to need a great deal of cleaning and repairing be- fore they can in the least be worthy of their names. aba At last the great cathedral of Co- logne is complete. The artist put the finishing touches on the dome last week and the structure which Catho- lic Europe has been contributing to for six hundred years is now finished. It was founded in 1248. At various times work onit wassuspended. When the great Reformation started by Mar- tin Luther swept over Germany it was abaudoned entirely and for a great period it was a matter of doubt whether its construction would be re- sumed.

London, Esq., in the last issue of the Chatham Reo- ord, pays a high tribute to the scldier- _ ly qualities of the late General Grimes. In an editorial of length, he says: | “It was our good fortune to have been intimately acquainted with Gen. tribute of affection and regard for so | true a friend, so brave a soldier and .80 high toned a gentleman. He was ene soul of honor, and as sincere as In hior North Caroli- na has sustained a great loss. With- out any exception whatever, Bryan ‘Grimes showed less symtoms of fear than any man we have ever seen. It mattered not how thick the death dealing bullets or the shrieking shells might fall around him, he was cool and calm in giving his orders, and in leading his men in the rushing charge’ would face with unflineh- ing eye the leaden showers that swept the field. In battle he seemed to bear a charmed life, for he would expose himself where it seem no man could live. Well do we remember that fatal morning of April 2d, 1865, when the lines around Petersburg were stormed, and as our soldiers were re- tiring before overwhelming numbers how Gen. Grimes rushed to the front seized a musket from a retreating sol- dier, fired it in rapid succession at the advancing enemy, and finally rallied his men, and charged and recaptured a portion of our line which was held all that day until nightfall, when Gen. Lee ordered a retreat.” He also says: “Historyjhas incorractly given to Gor- don (of Georgia) the glory of the last fight at Appomattox. It was Gen. Grimes who had command of all the troops in the engagement, and not Gen. Gordon, and he it was who made that last brilliant charge to break through Sheridan’s swarms of cavalry, and the last order given on that battle field was carried by the writer hereof from Gen. Grimes to Gen. W. R. Cox.” ee - What the Lawyers Talked about at Saratoga this Week. Saratoca, August 18. — The American bar association met shortly after half-past ten o’clock, and was called to order by Luke P. Poland, chairman of the executive committee. President Benjamin Bristow was in- troduced and read his annual report, which dealt chiefly with the changes made in the statutory laws by the sev- eral States and by congress during the past years. Among other new legal enactments, he referred to at- tack made by the laws upon railroads in Georgia, where a commission has been appointed to fix railroad rates, and to the law in the same State for the appointment of temporary judges pro tem. with the consent of litigating parties. He expressed the hope that out of the various laws proposed in in Congress some equitable bankrupt law might be evolved, in which the audience responded with applause. He referred also to the law enacted by South Carolina removing liens on real estate after twenty years from the last payment; to the appointment by the State of Georgia of the emigrant commissioners for the encouragement of emigration, and to the stringent us- ury law recently passed. Only twelve States and Territories, he said have no laws against usury. He spoke of the recently enacted law of Lonisana requiring every persor in business or professional life, with the exception of those engaged in agriculture and a few others to pay special license fee, and referred to the laws forbidding the intermarriage of blacks and whites which has been passed in South Car- olina and other States.

The Philadelphia Record yesterday announced that Dr. John Buc dean of the Eclectic Medical College, in that city, from which bogus diplo- mas have been issued purporting to be authorized by institutions uader names almost without number, had ended his career about 1 o’clock yesterday morn- ing by leaping from a Camden and Philadelphia ferry-boat. According to the Record, about the hour above nam- ed Dr. Buchanan, in company with a friend, Thos. E. Vanduser, was on board the ferry-boat Philadelphia, on her 1 o’clock triptoCamden. As the boat was entering the west end of the canal at Ridgeway Park, Dr. Buch- anan went to the side of the steamer, threw off his coat, jumped upon a Wheelbarrow and sprang overboard, shouting, “Good-by.” The boat was stopped as soon as possible, and back- ed to the spot, but as there was a strong tide running nothing could be seen of the body, although the moon was shining brightly. In the pocket of his coat was a note addressed to his wife without, signature, which indieat- ed his purpose to commit suicide. All yesterday the harbor police were dragging the Delaware river for the body of Buchanan, but without suc- cess: One of the ferry boat hands says that when he last saw the doctor “he was striking out lively for the lower end of Windmill Island.” He was held in $10,000 bail on the 10th of June Jast by the United States Com- missioner, and a true bill was found against him Monday by the grand jury for using the mail to assist in his bogus diploma trade. The Uni- States District Attorney applied to Judge Butler in court yesterday morn- ing to have Buchanan’s bail forfeited, but consideration of the. matter was postponed anti! Tnursday next. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph of yesterday says the story of the sui- cide is regarded by the officials a high- ly,improbable one, but rather as a ruse to escape justice. On the other hand Buchanan’s wife regards the reported suicide as an actual fact. She says that since the prosecutions in this case had begun her husband was very much depressed in mind, so much s0 that about two weeks ago he attempt- ed to commit suicide by taking laud- num. She further says that he had been paralyzed on one one side and could not swim a stroke. His counsel also say there is no, doubt of Buchanan’s suicide, DEATH OF AN Estrwasie Lavy. —We chronicle with regret the death of Miss Aphra Martin, sister of Rev. S.

The thermometer at 56 in the middle of Au- gust is most unseasonable, though very pleasant, which latter cannot be said df 32° at Stamford with a heavy frost and injury to the crops. So our home people who have had floods will see that they are not alone in suffering by the vagaries of the weather. Itcomes upon the just and upon the unjust. Every man may decide for himself to which class he be- longs. There are two items in the papers that ought to receive the though tful attention of the Chicago Tribune and other revilers of the South. ‘The first, that there are at present fifteen persons in the jail of Cook county, Illinois (in which Chicago is sit- uated), for murder, two of the fifteen be- ing women. The second is, that the Re- ‘publican “roughs and rowdies” in the State of Maine have mobbed and broken up a temperance meeting at the capital of that State, only so lately as the 22d of last month. See the following from that great apos{lo of the temperance cause, General Neal Dow :— “The first temperance mecting I ever attended was broken up by a mob in Port- land, twenty-five years ago, but the mob failed in its purpose. Since that day wo had no temperance meetings mobbed in Maine until the 22d of this month, when a temperance couvention was mobbed and broken up at Angusta by roughs and row- dies led on by Republican office-holders. The convention was driven to adjourn because its business could not be trans- acted in consequence of the violeuee and outrage of this mob. The mob of twenty- five years ago was Whig. Republican, deliberately planned and car- ried out in the supposed interest of the Republican party. the temper of the temperance men of Maine if they continue to uphold a party This one was I very much mistake which tramples upon the dearest rights of citizens.” 2 And all this in the so-called land of free speech, and by the clamorers for free speech in the South—by Northetn Repub- licans!

The Observer has rai raised a howl aot its ears because it asserted that Professor Kerr made a Repablican speech at Pop- lar Tent Fair. Had the proprietor of the Observer been at home such an asser- tion would hardly have been made, but it requires no stretch of conscience now to say that in many respects the speech was political, and that it was net Democrat- He asserted that the State Legislatures for many years had failed to pass a dog law, because the dogs wore in the majori- ty in these Legislatures. He asserted that the great need of the ‘Pfarmer was line, and that this could not be transported because the railroads de- manded exhorbithant rates of transpor- tation, and successive legislatures had been remiss in their obligations to the people in ‘the demanding its transportion at such low rates as to place it within the réach of the farmers. He further assert- ed that the legislators were in ‘the pay of the railroads, and because they held passes from these railroads that they wore afraid to legislate against these eor- porations, and the people must elect leg- islators who would not be bribed by these railroads. This meant. if it meant any- thing, that the members of previous leg- islatures had been bribed. The exception that he made was in the case of Capt. Sid. B. Alexander, the Senator from Mecklenburg, and the Representative from Cabarrus county. Now Prof. Kerr knew that no Legislature in this State has ever fixed a schedule of frieght rates and under the present chartered rights of our railroad companies, no Legisla- tare probably ever can do so. If char- tared privileges are to be observed, such an assertion eould only have been made to deceive his hearers, or for some ulte- rior purpose which does not appear on the surface. He asserted that the public press of the State was venal., corrupt and subsi- dized in the interests of politicians. This assertion was thrown back into his teeth at the time, as it deserved to be. No in- strumentality has been more protent for good in’ regard to the welfare of North Carolina, for the past fifteen years, than the uewspapers, and as aclass the men who are at the newspaper helm are har- der worked and more illy paid, ten times over, than the State geologist, who vents | his ‘grievances before the publie in the guise of agricultural speeches. Ile asser- ted repeatedly that the politician and the yqler dorg were synonymons terms, and claimed vbat the polities of the country were regulated by the unscrupulous poli- ticians under the shi: ade of a tree, orina fence corner: Now just what these statenjents were wade forinan agricultural speech ata coupty fair. is something that we cannot coniprehend. As they were all attacks upon the integrity Pee honesty of Demo- cratic Legislatures, and the Democratic party, which has been in power in North Carolina since 1870, the reader ean draw his own inferences.—Charlotte Ob. ROWAN COUNTY. BY J. BR. REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENTS, General Greene having escaped across the Yadkin, Lord Cornwallis with the main body of his troops returned to Silisbury and remained at that place two days. They reached the town on Saturday and continu- ed: there until Monday night or Tuesday morning. Monday was the time for open- ing the sessions of the quarterly Inferior Court, but as may well be supposed, the magistrates who jpresided, being ardent Whigs had no disposition to place them- selves in the hands of the British. Adlai Os- born, the Clerk, was absent in the patriot army, and had been tor some time, Mr. Gif: ferd acting as deputy clerk, and taking notes of proceedings which were afterwards writ- ten up by Mr. Osborn. There still remain among our people sev- eral traditions of the period of British eccu- pation, which though trivial in themselves, are yct of interest to the citizens of Salis. bury and vicinity. Let it then be under- stood that the greater part of this chapter is founded upon local tradition. But so di- rect and constant is that tradition, that it is thought to be entirely trustworthy in its men features. n entering town Lord Cornwallis took sa is headquarters at the house of Max- well Chambers, a prominent and wealthy Whig, a merchant, of Salisbury, a former member of the Rowan Conimittee of Safety nnd its Treasurer, . After the war Maxwell Chanibers moved to Spring Will, about three miles east of Salisbury. ‘Tis eldest son was named Edward Chambers, who was the next owner of “Spring Hill.” The late William Chambers, whose monument stands near the wall in the Lutheran grave yard, was the son and heir of Edward Chambers, During the Revolution Maxwell Chambers lived: on the west corner of Church and Bank streets—the. corner now occupied by the stately and substantia! mansion of 8. H. Wiley, Esq. The house ‘of Mr. Chambers, used by gre British Commander, remained standing until about ten years ago, and its ‘old-fashioned and-quaint appearance is fa- r, fpareey one whose. recollection. can or twelve years. It is surpris- one ne to show Mr. ng, in 1849, t t ene "these two days British buried” somé” spot know..as. er ot Nerd? cea from this circumstance it is said to eee riots it was a bdeceoune A party of fifty men entered the jail at} de ad 5 milk ase Mrs. revi had a cross ‘atthe time; “whose Cryi ee area ae noyance to the dashing colonel pon one occasion his anger over! the bounds of gentlemanly courtesy, he ordered the child to be choked to stop itscrying. Mra, Beard was very much afraid of San and we may well suppose that she did all she could to please him. }t is said that Lord Rawdon put up at ‘the residence of ‘Thomas Frohock, at his place called “The Castle,” about two miles northwest of Salisbury, onthe hill just east: of Frohock’s (afterwards McCay’s) pond; and that he had charge of Frohock’s mill upon that occason. The writer has looked in vain, in the history of the campaign, for the name of Lord Rawdon. He was present in Charlotte the previous summer, ‘and fell back with Cornwallis to Winnesboro, i in the fall. But neither the histories, nor the “General Order Book” mention his name in this pursuit of Green. Still the grandmoth- er of Miss Christine Beard, one of our old- est citizens, heme memory is stored with these ancient traditions, and is never at fault, was ‘Ren heard to state that Rawdon was at Frohock’s, Mrs. Eleanor Faust, the lady in questioh, was the daughter of John Dunn, Esq., and her memory was excellent. The same statement was also made by Mrs. Giles, the sister of Mrs. Faust, who was a temporary inmate of Frohock’s family at the time. On the other hand we learn from Lossing and other historians, that Lord tawdon was left in command of the South- ern division of the Royal army, with head- quarters at Camden,when Comw allis march- ed into North Carolina. And there Gen. Greene found him when he marched into South Carolina after ‘ie battle of Guilford Court Heusc, and engaged in the unfortum ate battle of Hobkirk’s Hill, on the 2#h of April, 1781. The only solution of the ap- parent contradiction between tradition and history, is that Lord Rawdon may have pro- ceeded with Lord Carnwallis as far as Salis- bury, and then returned to his field of op- erations in the South after Greene had been extricated from their grasp by the rise of the Yadkin river. Another distinguished personage was along with Lord Cornwallis in Salisbury, though we hear little of him. This was no less a personage than Josiah Martin, the last royal governor of North Carolina. The day after the British crossed at Cowan's Ford, an elegant beaver hat, made after the fash- ion of the day, and marked in the inside, “Phe property of Josinh Martin, Governor,” was found floating on the Catawba river about ten miles below Cowan’s Ford. In his dispatches after the battle of Guilford Court House Cornwallis reports that Gover- nor Martin had accompanied him in his campaign through North Carolina, cheerful- ly bearing all the hardships of camp life, hoping by his presence to aid in the work of restoring the royal authority in the State. Though he was along with the troops he does not appear conspicuous. “Inter arma leges silent” is an old maxim, and the pow- erless vovernor was completely overshadow- ed by the plumed and epanietted chiefs of the march and of the battle field. [ad he not lost his hat in the Catawba, and had nop Coruwallis kindly mentioned his name iu his dispatches, we would have been e. | tircly ignorant of his Inst visit to Salisbury. We do not know where he‘ ‘put up’ w hile intown. At the north cast corner of Innes and Church streets, now the property of Mr. Philip B. Meroney, stood the law. oflice of John Dunn, Esq., and in the same yard, a little back of it, was the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Faust. These prem- ises_ were occupied as the headqnarters of the British Commissary department. The encampment of the army was two or three hundred yards to the north of the Conrt House, somewhere in the neighborhgod of the English graveyard, perhaps on the line of Fulton street not far from the present residence of Dr. Whitehcad and that of the Yon. FL E. Shober. The commissary head- quarters would thus be between the camp und centre of Town. It isrelated that Mrs. Faust owned a favorite calf that grazed in the yard, which the commissary took a faucy to. and tried to purchase for Lord Cornwallis’s own table. But Mrs. Faust re- fused to sell upon any terms. The Commis- sary thereupon proceeded to “impress” the calf, and after killing it, he Inid down a piece of gold before Mrs. Faust as pay. Ir- ritated and indi; yznant she pushed away ene money, and left his presence. During the stay of the British Mrs. Rance lost aebild, that died of small- pox. Asall things were in confusion, and no one could be hired to perform such services, her fath- er, John Dunn, took the coffin upen his horse, and interred the body at the family burying ground, three miles south of Salis- bury. Dr. Anthony Newnan, familarly called Dr. Anthony, was then acitizen of Salisbury. He lived in the house that still stands on the south east side of Main strect, next to “Cowan's brick row.” The building is now occupied ag a harness and boot and shoe shop, and fs very old and dilapidated. It has undergone many changes, but is still substantially the samc. Parts of the old heavy moulding, and the wainscot and pan- nelling are still to be seen, as well as the hard oaken corner posts and studding, and the wéather boarding fastened with home- wrought iron nails. “It is reported that the builder. of this house got drunk, and rolled from the roof of the piazza into the street aud was thereby killed. At all events Dr. Newnan, a good whig, lived in this house, and entertained some of the British officers. One day while Col. Tarleton and some other British officers were enjoying the hospitali- ty of Dr. Newnan, the Doctor’s two little boys were engaged in playing a game with white and red grains of corn, perhaps after the style of “Fox and Geese,” or “Cross the Crown.” Having heard much talk in the past five days of the battle of Cowpens, the British, Col. Tarleton, and Col. Washington, it occurred to the boys to name their white and red grains of corn Americans and Brit- ish, with Washington and Tarleton as lead- ers, and “play” the battle of Cowpens, All at once, and forgetful of Tarleton’s presence, one of the boys shouted out “Hurrah for Washington! Tarleton is running! Hurrah for Washington !” The fiery Tarleton look- ed on awhile in silence, but his temper was too hot to restrain him from uttering a curse against the rebel boys. Dr. Newnan manied a daughter of Hugh Montgomery, a wealthy citizen, who owned much property. in lands and cattle in Wilkes county.

THE SHERIFF TROUBLE. worry about the disputed result of the of Sheriff thau there was good occasion for. The Executive Committee of the County were very specific in laying down the rules to be observed by the primaries and the County Cunveution, and the ap- plication of these rales eannot fail to set- tle the questions involved in the disputed matter. We suppose it will be done sqtturely ard fairly, and that the trouble will there end. We copy the following from the Execu tive Committee’. instruction as the lead- ing rulein this ease : “In order that your delegates may Know your preferences for the various ofti- ces to be filled, each township is requested to ballot at its convention tor canui lates tor the various nominations, the balloting to be under the supervision of the execu- tive committees respectively and govern- ed by the same rules and regulations, as far as applicable, as are above prescribed tor ballotiug for delegates.” But if the County Convention shall fail to reach a conclusion satisfactorily to themselves, they may order another primary test, and if they should do this, we submit that the question be left to a straight election, the returns to be made to the Executive Committee and counted by them and the result declared, Otherwise, refer the question to the | The arrangement strikes us as very | no, Demberats may jaw each other, and even do a little old time knocking among them- ock, just. returned from the: commercial marts-at this seasonof the year.

The conntry people have had no hand in any trick, and have sought to create no compli- cations. They are.therefore on high van- tage ground, and have it in their power to command the peace, by acting independent- ly of town interests and strife. The township of Salisbury can be com- pletely snowed under by the Country pre- cincts if it shall become necessary for the sake of peace aud for the sake of the Demo- cratic cause to doit. And such a combina- tion for the purpose indicated would com- mand the applause of wise men everywhere, since it would rescue from harm the great cause of the country. Prudence is some- times the better part of valor, and the more prudence we can bring to bear in settling this family quarrel the better it will be for all concerned when the heat of the moment has passed away. ———— er Oe OFFICIAL VOTE Of The Township Meetings, Aug. 2st, 1880.

Mr. Eprtor: The implacable spirit now animating the personal friends of the two candidates for nomination by the Democrat- ic party, for the office of Sheriff, has become stark mad insanity. The more pronounced adherents of each, almost swear that they will vote for Dave Brinule, if the other is nominated, which will unquestionably make this democratic county, substantially, radi- cal, and that too in such a momentous na- tional campaign! Even if both run, the one as a nominee and the other as an independ- ent—the same result is clearly forgs-shad- owed. When the party spirit of self-interest and mere man worship thus prevails, instde of a party— all sense of reason and magnanimity is lost. A furious spirit of violence, almost to annihilation, rages paramount. All re- straint is displaced and detraction, calumny and falsehood hold sway. A greater mis- fortune cannot befall a community than the prevaleace and supreinacy of such a state of feeling. rending neighbors, identical inter- ests, into two distinct parties, more averse hostile race and nation, In such crisis, the counsel of dispassionate thinkers is utterly powerless. There is no more sense of reason remaining with them, than with the panic struck simpleton at sea in a storm, who lashed himseli fast to ap anchor for safety; and as in his case, the genius of gravitation will carry them all so straight and so profoundly to the bottom, that net a bubble will ever rise to momen- tarily mark the spot where they went down! That catastrophe would not be so deplora- ble if they did not as they will, carry all their rational neighbors with them. There appears but one method for keep- ing the County Democratic—which is to discard both Bingham and Waggoner and take up Mr. Theo. F. Kluttz, a highly esti- mable and promising scion of a long honor- ed and greatly respected sire. And I think that Mr. Bingham, at least seeing the fierce dead lock ¢xisting, is too thoroughly public spirited to demurr, and will cheerfully give way in the interest of peace and party suc- cess. Respectfully submitted by Many ConskRVATIVES, We think our correspondent, “Many Con- servativea,” is rather much alarmed at the situation in Rowan. We have complications in respect to nominating a candidate for sheriff. They may be thought to be serious by some excitable persons; and hasty indi- viduals here and there may pile up oaths as high as Pilot Mountain on the subject,’ swearing they will do this or that. in case this question of Sheriff is not adjusted-ac- cording to some eonception of theirs. There is nothing very new nor very. startling in this. Individuals of this kind haye always existed in every community.

P A Stoop, We have not yet recived fall retarns from Gold Hill, Providence and Morgan townships; but give reports as they have reached town, as follows: Gold Hill—For Waggoner, for sheriff, and Frank Brown and J. L. Graber, for the Legislature. Providence Bingham for sheriff. Morgan— Bingham for sheriff. We anuex the following summary of the voce for sheriff in the county according to the geuerally accepted reported at the time of going to press : Waggoner, Bingham.

Much misapprehension exists in this country as to the powers of entail in England. There isno such thing asa law of primogeniture, except in ro far that if aman die intestate his real es- tate would pass te his eldest son, except in Kent, where it wonld be divided among all his sons. Up to the close of the last century, the power of entail was illimita- ble. It was curtailedin consequence of the extraordinary will made by a mer- chant vamed Phellusson, of Swiss origin, who accumulated a vast fortune don, partly by buying up jewels from French ewigres at the time of the great revolution. M. Thellusson intended bis money to accumulate until it would have reached about $700,000,000. The govern- ment deeming it avdesirable that any subject should possess weath so colossal, introduced a bill limiting entail to living persons and 21 years afterwards. This is not mueh greater than the power of en- tailin New York, and almost identical with thatiu Massachusetts. Mauy es- tates in and around New York—the Lef- frets, Rhinelander, for example—are en- tailed. In England, haudreds of great properties are completely unentailed, and itis purely the custom, not the law, of the country which will cause them to be transmitted to the eldest son. Men who are very liberal in politica favor the custom, because they think that it keeps up the position of a family, and that were an estate divided up inthe next generation pone would be better for such division. Jt is not generally understood here that the law in England permits a man to leave his property precisely as he pleases, and that a duke cau leave all to his footman. The great estates, for in- stance, of the Duke of Hamilton, premier duke of Scotland, were, up to the time of his marriage, cowpletely uneutailed. This came ont in some law proceedings. —London Times. ——_~a Row 1n a Cirecs.—Knorville, August 21.—At Robivsen’s circus in Morristown last night, the sheriff of Hamilton county was shot and officer Morris killed by Ben Richardson.

The Convict AND THE KiTcHEN Marp. —John Lover, a negro conviet who work- ed his time out ou the Milton Sutherlin Narrow Guage Railroad, fell ilove while grading the road pear Milton, with Nelsi- na Hunt, a mulatto woman raised and ossned by Mr. Taz Hunt, who has been faithful to the family since the war, and has always declared she would remain with her master and mistress as Tong as they lived. But she snubbed John Lover aftér he got free, and for this he took re- venge last Saturday night. As Nelsina was cooking in Mr. Hunts kitchen, the ex-convict crept in and asked her for a piece of biead. Sho refused to give it, and he jerked a pistol from his breast and began firing at her. She ran sereaming from the kitchen and he in iu pursuit at every shot. He tired three times and doubtless would have killed her, but Mr. Hunt ran out and seized him. A warrant was sent for to Milton and he was hand- cuffed and imprisoned. The woman was badiy shot in the arm, so badly that it may have to be amputated. John was a hard-working convict, always liyely and singing at his work, but he was then in service for having stabbed a man in a dif- ticulty. (RR W GAT NonTH CAROLINIANS ARE DOING. —The Charlotte Observer says that on the 3d inst., Prof. J. F. Latimer, of Davidson College, successfully passed all the exam- nations necessary to attain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leipsic, Germany, and had this degree conferre | upon him by the Procancellat of the University. His examiners were Professors Heirvze, Curtius and Voigt, who with their congratulations, paid him high compliments for passing his cxami- nations iu so distinguished a manner. It was not Dr, Latimer’s purpose at first to present himaelf before the board until the end of the year, bnt by his energy and his already fine attainments he accomplished his purpose in one-third of the expected and usual time. It was Prof. Latimer’s intention when he left to remaip in Ger- many until the first of January, when he expected to resume his position as Pro- fessor of Greek and German in’ Davidson College. Gradually Davidson College through its teachers and pupils, is becom- ing recognized as among the leading insti- tutions of ite kind iu the Southern States. ——_- qe ——__—_. Mr. J. G.

Citizens of Rowan County : T announce myself as & candidate: for re-election to the office of Sherif at Row- an County- -subject to the primary town- ship meetings and County Convention to be held on the 2ist and 28th days of this month. I take this oceasion to return my sin- cere thanks to the voters of Rowan for their long continued edn fidence and gup- port. I have earnestly endeavored to discharge my public duties according to law, favoring the people with whom | have had business, as much as I could. Your continted support up to this time 18 aD assurance of your unbroken confi- dence. I thank you for it. Aud if it shall be your pleasure to re-elect me, I witl serve you with the same carefalness and devotiou I have ever done. deem. it proper to say that, while I have'been an unwavering Democrat since the war, and am atill, I have not allowed my political preference to influence me in the discharge of my official duties. The office of Sheriff is purely: executive. It is not political. I have not abused the office to adviuce the interest of any par- ty. I have left politics to the people themselves, to whom they properly be- long. The duties of Sheriff should be impartially performed, and that. officer should make no difference between Dem- ocrats and Republicans. to ignore politics. I have carefally pur- sued this course, aud if re-elected will contiuue to do so. It is objected that I “bolted” the decis- sion of the Democratic County Conven- tion two years ago, and therefore I should be raled out of the Democratic primary meetings and County Convention. 1 feel that this objection is absurd and ridica- lous. This question was decided by you at the ballot box two years ago. You all 1878, and hundreds were thoroughly of- fended by it. Many of the best Demo- crats in the County urged me to disre- gard its action because it was so manifes- tly unfair, and to take the field against it. I did so, The validity of that Conven- tion was put on trial before the people, and they elected me by a large majority over Mr. Bingham, Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Plyler. This, ‘I thought, and still think, settled the question of wy “bolt- ing.” In conclusion, on the results of that contest I claim that I have as good a right to come before you now as a can- didate for Sheriff as any other Democrat in the County, and that [have done noth- ing in the past to forfeit your good opin- ion. Your obedientjservant, CHaRLEs F. WaGGoneR. Salisbury, Aug. 9th, 1880. : A Card. To the People of Rowan County: I am a candidate for the office of Sher- iff subject to the approval of the Demo- cratic County Convention, called to con- vene iu Salisbury on the 28th ivst. I am induced to make this announcement, be- cause I believe it to be the wish of a large wajority of the Democrats of the county. If 1 shall receive the nomination, I shali make a eanvass which I hope will be satisfactory to the party, and do all in my power to assist in a glorious victory for our noble standard bearers on the Na- tional and State tickets. In conclusion, [ beg to return my warmest thanks to my friends for the enthusiastic support given ne during the last canvass, and notwith-. standing I was defeated by the Republican party, I have the satisfaction of knowing that I received a considerable majority of the Democratic votes iv that contest.

If we can generalize, we should say that for heavy soils the labor of preparing, shoveling, turning and moving the ingredients of a compost heap will pay better than for light soils. The porous, sandy Jand generally allows nature’s agencies, air warmth and rain, to act upon fresh manure, ap-| plied without composting. quite rap- idly and efficaciously, while previous composting and rotting will greatly benefit a manure intended for use on heavy land. Another consideration When chemicals are not to be ob- tained, good stable manure or a high grade commercial fertilizer may be used, with a plentiful addition of hard-wood ashes, In regard to the amount to be used per acre, no general rule can be given —it should vary with the condition of the soil, from 400 to 500 pounds oreven more per acre, * About 27 bushels.

DIRECTIONS, AND FORMUL.E FOR COM- POSTING, Select for the manure heap a level spot under shelter and convenient to the stables, Remove enough earth to give agentle slope from every side toward the centre. From the middle, cut asmall ditch 4 inches wide and the same deep, and cause it to slope from the centre to one side and empty into a half barrel sunk into the earth, This ditch can be covered with a board. The liquids, so valuable as fertilizers and so often wasted, will be caught in the barreland once ina while should be baled out and sprinkled over the top of the heap. Have at hand a pile of dry earth, or better still a mixture of dry earth and ground plaster, and once ina while cover the heap to the depth of an inch or two. By this method there will be a maximum saving of liquide and gases, and the compost heap will not be an offence to the nostrils, even when quite near the house, The following formule have been prepared, as already stated, to enable those who can obtain cotton seed, muck er marl, to use them as a basis in their compost, thereby saving money and purchase of chemieals : FORMULA NO.

It is in these words: “T do solemnly swear that Iwill) bear trne allegiance to the United States,” * # * Sand will observe and obcy the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers ap- pointed over me, according to the rules and articles for the government of the Army of the United States.” Now, should the President of the Uni- ted States give to the humblest officer of the Army au order coutrary to the Roles and Articles of War or to the law of Con- , the subordinate ean peremptorily refuse to obey, because the order has hot been given in accordance with the rules and regulations of the power whieh commands both him and the President. 2rVess Now, if Congress can make laws assign - ing special duties to subordinate officers, suchas judge advocates, quartermasters, and barrack masters, what uew doctrine is this that it may not also assizu special duties to the General of the Army?) The volumes of statates are fullof laws of Congress commanding all classes of offi- cers to perform all kinds of duties. It is how proposed to require of} the General of the Army the performance of a special duty, namely, the duty of directing the operations of that partof the Army which oceupes the States lately in rebellion. If the General should negleet this duty the | President, as) commander-in-chief, ean call him to account for such neglect, but | he cannot preveut his obedience to the | law. | Se much for the constitutionality of | this section. I now come to inqure why | i this its legislation is needed. It is because this Congress, in its work of restor nag to | their places the States in’ rebellion, an- | the law: and the President has made | such of that anthority as to obstruct and | delay the restoration of those States. | Without violating the letter of the law | lhe has been able, in a great measure, to | ! hinder the tall and efficient: execution of the law. His acts aud those of his advis- Vers are, to-day, the chief obstacles to the | prompt restoration of rebel States, and ; Congress proposes to remove those ob- | stacles by transferring the power to the ‘hands of one who has shown his loyalty jto the country, and his) willinguess to obey the laws of the Union. | Mr. Speaker, I will not repeat the ‘long catalogue of obstructions which he (has thrown in the way by virtue of the i power conferred upon him in the recon- | struction law of L867, but I will allude to one example, WHERE HE IAS FOUND IN A MAJOR-GENERAL OF TILE ARMY A FACILE | INSTRUMENT with which more ettectually to !obstruet the work of reconstruction. LPhis Fease is all the more painful because an !atherwise meritorious officer, who bears honorable scars, earned in battle for the Union, has been made a party te the poli eal nmvadness which has so) long marked ‘ the conduct of the President. This Gen- eral was sent into the district of Louisi- Vaua and Texas with a law of Congress in his hand, a law that commands him to | see that justice is administered among the people of that country, and that no pretense of civil authority shall deter him from performing his duty, and yet we find that officer -giving lectures in the form of proclamations and orders on what | Otight to be the relation betwen civil and military departments of the Goverument, | We SEE HIM USIN@ A GENERAL ORDER IN | WHICH HE D&@EARES THAT THE CIVIL SHOULD NOT GIVE WAY BEFORE THE MILI- rary. We hearhim declaring that he tinds nothing inthe laws of Louisiana and Texas to warrant his interference in the civil administration of those States. It is not for him te say whieh should be first, the civil or the military, in that rebel community. It is not for hin. to search the defunct laws of Louisiana and Texas fora guide to his conduct. It is for him to obey the laws which he was sent there to execute.

IT The cool impudence of the Radical party in claiming to be patriotic, national and conservative, is wonderful indeed when we take acalm survey of its past record. It was born in the throes of revolution, blood and death. Its patriotism consisted in di- viding our country, in marring and desolat- ing the most prosperous and happy section, and inthe attempt to impoverish and en- slave its citizens. Its nationality mears cen tralization, despotism, the elimination of State lines, and the denial to the people the right of local self government. Its conser- vatism is found in its extreme ‘measures, suchas the suspension of the great writ of habeas corpus in times of profound peace; in the passage of the in{amo’s -Enforcement Act, the establishmen of the negro Beureau, and the disfranchisement of thousands of the best men in the land for partisan and political aggrandizement. It disrupted the ‘union under the pretense of saving it. It overthrew our State governments, reduced them to provinces and denied the people |. their soverign right to chose their rulers. | It placed over the Southern States bayonet governments, filled our Legislative Halls with thieves and camp followcrs, interlopers and carpet-baggers who issued bonds and fixed millions of debt upon.our people, stole the proceeds and fled the land, leaving des- olation, poverty and distress on every hand. The men and the party that did these things are asking the people to give them power again. Look at it! They usurped control of our State and local affairs by the basest and most infamous means. They held con- trol of the Levislative department of North Carolina for nearly three years, andin that time run our State debt up from fifteen to near forty millions of dollars. This large increase of debt they stole and squandered, and the people have to foot the bill. They inaugurated an era of terror, of blood-shed and anarchy ; business was paralized and prosperity impossible. The people through their organization, the Democratic party, rose up in their might and hurled them from power, Harmony and peace were gradual- ly restored, the people have begun to pros- per, and business to revive; and so the peo- ple will continue to prosper, and law and order prevail, if the Democratic party is kept solid and its principles upheld-—if the Democratic masses remain true to themsel- ves and to their party organization. ° But, if the people become indifferent, and allow the infamous Radical party to slip into pow- | er again, We may expecta return of the days of and poverty. have robbed and oppressod us once wiil rob We would have been thievery, mis-governnicnt, lawlessness The party and the men who and oppress us again. slaves to-day, but for the Democratic party; we will deserve to become slaves should we | ever allow that party’s banner to trail inthe dust, or the Radical party to again slip in- to power because of our indifference or lack of proper organization. It should be the highest duty of every democrat.c citizen to strengthen his party organization as it is the bulwark of our political safety, and domestic peace and happiness. The Demo- cratic party has graduall7 recovered from the foul clutches of voracious Radicalism in our county, State and general governments. There is one citadel yet to be taken--the Presidentcy, and if we are true to ourselves, it will surrender on the 4th of March next. Is there not every incentive for us to remain true? Every consideration worthy of the respect and enjoyment of a free people de- mands that we should be vigillant and ac- tive and true. We cannot afford to allow Radicalism to be installed in power again. SS GARFIELD’s Hope.—An Ohio Republi- / can of prominence, who arrived here yes- _terday, says he called upon Gen.

In every pther Southern State the yegroes vote with the white people ameng whom they live. They have found ont that what- ever is good for the white peaple is equal- ly good for them. The legislation of the States is equal on all, white and black ; and the Legislation of Congress is of the same character, and bears alike on all. As between the parties, the Democrats are their bes* friends, and do almost all that is done by white people to he!p them support themselves and their families. There areno white radicals in North Carolina or any of the Southern Slates who can do anything ta help the negroes. Allthe help they get is given them by the Democrats, and yet they vote against their employers and their best friends atevery election. There is not another ase like it in the world. The yankees of- ten make the white servants in their employ vote with them. Factory hands mostly vote as their employers want them to do, or else they are discharged from service. Our North Carolina negroes are notonly the freest people jin the world, but they have less good seuse and gratitude than the race generally dis- plays. They have an opportunity this year of doing themselves the credit of voting fora man who did ten times as much to free them as Garfield did and yet they are going to eat gar and drink gar soup.

The Rowan County Convention which met at the Court House iy this place last Saturday. failed ta perform the work the people expected of if, in part at least, They failed ta agree on a candidate for Sheriff, but agreed pn all the rest. It will be remember that we intimated in our last paper that it might so happen, and suggested two ways of settling the gheriff question. Qne of these ways was, to refer it back to the people in a prima- ry election. This waa proposed in the County Convention by Dr. Shimpock, of Gold Hill. But it wag abjected to by the friends of Mr. Waggoner, Mr. Ross heing the spokesman. Mr. Koss claimed that by the township returns the people had already declared that Mr. Waggoner was their choice for Sheriff, and he would not consent to go and ask them to say it over again. The friends of Mr. Bingham made no streneous effort for this plan, and after brief discussion, among the friends of Mr. Waggoner chiefly, it was voted down. The other plan suggested by us last week was to leave the whole question ot shetiff with the people, to be settled by them at the geucral election in November. Thig has been virtually done, and the people are again to decide between Mr. Wagganer and Mr. Bingham at the ballot vox as they were required to do two years ago. They are both candidates. This is the best way to settle the contest, and the very way the people prefer. We believe that Mr. Waggoner was fairly entitled to the nomination on Sat- urday last, and that it was denied him through a plain violation of the plan marked out by the County Executive @mmittee. We believe that Mr. Bing- ham and_ his friends peristently failed to carry out the will of the people in re- spect to Sheriff, and defeated it. The pro- cecdings of the Convention (of which we have notes), will prove this. But there is proof enough in the fact, thatthe Conven- tion nominated candidates for the Legisla- ture-Mesars.Brown and Grieber—because they had the largest vote by townships, and refused, to the bitter end, to nominate Mr Waggoner by thesame rule, notwithstaud- ing he hada larger vote by townships than cither Mr. Brown or Mr. Gricber. The whole trouble in the convention hinged on how to count the votes of the paimary meetings, and on the question whether the office of delegate was minis- terial or judicial ? That is to say : Was it the duty of delegates to vote the will of the majority of the people of the town- ship which they represented, or were they at liberty to vote as they pleased? Mr. Waggoner and his friends claimed that the delegates were bound by every sense of duty to vote the will of the majority of the people in the townships they respec- tively represented. ‘They claimed that this idea was plainly intimated in the ad- dress of the County Cen. Exeeutive Com- mittee, and that the authors of that ad- dress so understand, it and intended that others should so understand it; that the people generally, throughout the county, so understood it, and that although in some cases they were not expressly in- structed how to vote, yet they all under- stood that the delegates were the public servants employed to make known to the Convention the will of the people. We here insert Mr. Waggonev’s: paper which was read in convention in answer toaecall for his position, &c., on this point: In response to the question as to whether I will abide the action of this Convention, I answer that quesuon by putting another, to the Convention: Will the delegats here from the several Townships pledge themselves to carry out the instructions of the people, by whose votes they are entitied to seats bere? I claim that I am justly entitled to the nom- {nation for Sheriff, six Townships having instructed thirty-three delegates to vote for me to-day. If these Townships shall obey the Instructions of their constituents, I shall submit cheerfully to the action of the Convention. But if the Townships whieh voted for me on the 2istof August, 1Ssu, Shall be counted against me tn this Convention, contrary to the wishes of the people who voted for me in the Township elections, theme I will not feel bound to submit to whatever individual delegates here may choose to do. I do not cansider that the delegates sitting in this Convention can constitute themselves a ‘‘Returning Board” to reverse the wishes of the people of the Townships, which they severally re- present, and arbitrarily count me out. They have the power to do so, but no legal ner moral right to perpetrate such a wrong. C. F. WAGGONER, Thig was denied by Mr. Bingham’s friends, who claimed that the vote of the townships should be cast according to the relative strength of the candidates in each township; and that Mr. Bingham hada majority of the popular vote of the coun- ty, notwithstanding the fact that Wag- goner had curried a majority of the town- ships. , On this rock the convention split, and on this case the two candidates go before the people and demand a decision. It is here necessary to mention that the complication originated, in a large part, out of the arrangement of tickets employ - ed in the primary elections. Mr. Bing- ham issued tickets bearing the names of delegates favorable to himself. There was ho other name on his ticket except names of his chosen delegates. He pur- posely omitted his own name. Any citi- zen taking up this ticket without know- ing that the delegates were all favorable to Mr, Bingham (a thought which would certainly not occur to many) would write on it the name of ‘‘Bingham” or ‘““Waggon- er,” just as he pleased. Thus it will be seen, as the sequal proved, every Wag- gover man who voted one of these tickets, voted far Ringham delegates, and these delegates were true to Binghan)’s interest onexery question invalying the main re- sult in the Convention, Some of these tickets (6), and and ten qther tickets with nothing onthem but Mr. Bingham’s dele- gates were put ig the Salisbury box. To what extent this was done at the coun- try boxes we dg not know. It is plajn to every body that this was an unfair way to arrange tickets, for itamounted simply tothis: “Heads, I win; tails, you lose!” It did not matter whether the voter wrote on the ticket the name af Waggoner or Bing- ham, it waa q vote in the ¢onyention for Bingham. "Mr. Waggoner algo had. ticketa printed with the names ef delegates attached to them, whom he knew were his friends. Kut the tieket bere at the very head of it, For Sheriff, CHARLES F. WAGGONER. There was no possibility of any man, capable of reading, making any mistake about this ticket, and there was none made, Mr, Bingham and hig friends, as al- ready stated, claimed in convention that they had the popular vote by some 20 er 25. We believe it was not directly deni- ed. That might very easily happen through a heavy majority ata single box, and yet not change the fact that Mr. Wag- goner carried q majority of the townships. But this claim is disputed, Several of the townships which went for Waggon- er, after the result was declared, on mo- tion, made the vate af the tawnship unanimous. By this act all votes cast for sheriff were, constructively cast for Mr. Waggoner, and this would give him both a popular and township majority. His friends did not, however, insist on this construction in the convention, except that the delegates from these townships refused to cast the vote of said townships otherwise than as a unit for him, on the ground that they could not go beyond their instructions; clso relying on the fact that the townships, by tickets bearing his name, decided that he was their candidate. Some few persops apprehend that this split on the sheriff will do much harm in the general election of this county. It is a very mistaken view of the subject. It will probably bring a larger vote to the polls than conld have bronght ont in any other way. The larger the vote the bet- ter 1t will be for Hancock and Jarvis. The white voters will be brought out by the sheriff contest, who would nat otherwise come, and when once af the polls they will drop jn a ticket fof Gov. Jarvis and Gen. Hancock. We do not believe there isa Bingham man in the county who is mad enough to vote for Mr. Sechler or any other Repubhean candidate ; and we are quite sure the Waggoner men will not be guilty of that folly. In no event can the reference of the subject to the people be hurtful to the Democratic Conservative party, but on the contrary will do good. With this view we enter the canvas with entire contidence. <> Tremendous Energy of the South- ern People: Detroit Free Press, editorial, The tremendous physical canstitution and energy of the Southern people, at least of the males, is something unpar- alleled in history. That they spenda good portion of their nights in riding about and engaging in murder, arson, robbery, and other crimes, is conceded by every Republican and preached from crery Republican stump. An ordinary race of men would, of course, require alecp and rest during the day- time; but no sooner do these Southern banditti arrive at home and take aff their masks and pnt away their pistols than they begin the work of the daytime by raising cane, cotton, and othar products toa larger extent than before the war. Some of them, too, after a hard night's ride, their hands still eavered with blood, go to work manufacturing the cotton which the other ku-klux have raised. They even send to the hated North fot machinery. A northern newspaper says that the Lewiston (Maine) Machine Com- pany’s warks were never so busy as now. Looms are being made for mills in Geor- gia, North and South Carolina, and the shops are run at their fallest capacity to fill the Henee we that a people capable of manufacturing and raising cotton by day, and, in the classic | words of LUorr, af Michigan, ‘‘hell” by night, are at once the most vigorous and the most industrivus of any people onl earth. newspaper orders. say How tne Canvass Looxs.- -At this writing it seems that the struggle will be tremeudous, but that the Republicans will carry Maine in September, and, of course, Vermont; that Colorado will also go Re- publican in October; that the great trial and test in Ohio and Indiana on the 12th of October will show about the same re- sult as in 1876—Indiana going Democra- tic and Ohio going Republican by about the same small majority ; that the strug- gle will then be transplanted to New York till November; that New York will go for Hancock by a moderate majority ; that New Jersey and Connecticut will go the same way. In other words, it looks very much as if Hancock would carry the same States, and no more, that Tildeu carried in 1876—Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Connecticnt and the South ; that he will have 203 electoral votes, or a majority of nineteen, precisely as Tilden had; that, however, the electorial votes of Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina will not be stolen by Republican return- ing boards, and that General Hancock will be inaugurated by a Nemocratic Can- gress on the 4th of March, next.—St. Ijou- is Post Dispatch. ee How O11 Fires ARE EXTINGUISHED.— Bradfard, Penn., August 30.--The iron tank atruck by lightning at State Line on Saturday evening burned out last night without gausing. any further destruction of property, Dangerous overflows were obvjated by firing solid shot into the bot- tom of the burning tank and drawing the oil off.

This result of the recent negotiations confirms the judgment of Senator Conkling, expressed a few days since to a Washington carres- pondent of the Herald, that there would be no contest in the Democratic party upon State issues this year. It places the Democracy of New Pork in 1820 in precisely the same attitude as was oc- cupied by that party in 1876, and insures an absotutely united support of all ele- ments favorable to, the election of Han- cock electors in this State. It is true that for some time there bas been only one electoral ticket in the field ou the Democratic side, but nevertheless the ex- istence of the two State committess and the apprehension of local dissension, have created an carefully nurtured and vividly spread by the Re- publicans, the State and local divisions of the Democracy would lead to the treachery at the electiou and diminish Haneock’s vote. This apprehension is now entirely removed and the Democracy of New York State are for the rest of the canvass as thoroughly united and harmo- nious as the Democracy of Connecticut.

Letter From the Old Country, impression EDINBURGH, SCOTLANR, Aug. 12th, 1880, Brother Bruner: In my last I gave you a few notes on ship-building on the Clide, If you want a fleet of steam ships | know of no place where you could have them built with the same dispatch. Eight months ago the French General ‘Prans- Atlantic Company ordered eleven steam ships to be built for them, Since which time they have been all built, equipped and sent out from the Clyde. ‘The application of steam: power to shipping has been of immense value in facilitating the means of transportation. tis surprisivg to look at its rise and progress. In Iel2 the first small steamer sailed between Glasgow and Heleusburg, and many of the doubting thought she would not be able to veturu by the river, In 1815 a steainer made a trip from Glas- gow to London, which was thought extra- ordinary ; and in 1eaZ0 steamboats were established between Holyhead ead Dub- lin. In IR2e the number of stecr: ossels in Britain had increased to S44, as erag- mg about YU tons each. In April, 1Lese, two steam ships crossed the Atlantic and arrived in New York, the one iu 19 and] the other in 15 days. Until that time it Was thought by many as an impossibility for a steamer to cross the Atlantic. It Was pot uutil [edt that the substitution of steam for sailing vessels begun in the British navy. The progressive improve- ments since those days may be said to have culminated in the merchant steame) service of the Cunard line. Ships 500 tt. long, 7,900 tous burden, aud drove 10,000 j horse power ; and the tron-clad war- ships, “Intlexible’ and ‘italia? of 11,600 and | 13,209 tons burden respeetively, and car- |rying guns of cand 100 tons cach. ' “Stenmersare gradually superseding sail- ling vessels. Tn ied British sailing ves- sels numbered 17,807, and steamers (ex- clusive of river steamers) did. In 1878 lee number of sailing vessels were 16,704 | and steamers, exclusive of river steamers, were 3,300. Each of thesc steamers: is feapable of making from two to three trips |for every one of a sailing vessel. The |tonage ot sailing vessels in) 1&4 was 2,- FORA GL, and in Pe7e it was 1,676,078. The Itonage of steamers, exclusive of river steamers was, in 1849, Lo3,321, while it had increased to 2,160,026. In Ts4) the number of nen employed on above ship- ping was 152,611, while in 18728 they nun- ber 195,585. The total number of vessels, including river steamers, registered as be- longing to the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands, 10 1878, was 25,284, and the tonage, 6,555,164. ‘The British Mer- chant Marine seems now to be carriers for the whole world as well as of their own extended commerce, and they take pride in itas well as that of theirnavy. Inthe Royal Navy in 1879 there were in) com- inission, or building, 403 ships of war, and including vessels employed in harbor service and for other parposes a total of oJ9 vessels, of 9RO,500 tons burden, carry - 2,002 gous, and steam power eqrivilent to | that of 665,210 horses, They have mans smi switt steam/’rs ran ing ou their inland vaters throughout Great Britain, but have none like our great palatial steamers that float upon the inland waters of the States, But they surpass us in Ocean steamers. L have just learned that over 20,060 tons of shipping has been engaged to be built on the Clyde since L left Glasgow, and oth- ers are waiting to be booked. This is the 40th anniversary ef the es- tablishment of penny postage in this country, aud its author, Sir Rowland Hill, who fought so hard for its establishment, ouly passed away during the past year and his body laid to rest in’ Westminster Abby. It must have been a great pleas- ure tohimin his latter days tou witness how his labors have blessed the poeple of this country, both in asocial and business point of view. ‘Those who are old enough to remember the condition of postal af- fairs ip this couutry forty years ago can appreciate the great change. Then only the rich could afford to carry on a corres- pondence, the postage being so high. Be- sides, all letters were then officially in- s3pected, and if found to consist of more than one piece of paper the postage was doubled ‘or trebled, as the case might be, and disputes were continally arising.— Now all these troubles have ceased and the postal arrangement of the country is excellent, and the result was that in 1379 over 1,097,000,000 of Jettera wore deliver- ed iu the United Kingdom, and 111,500,- QUO of postal cards, besides 328,000,000 of newspaper and book parcels. With the establishment of penny postage followed the arrangement for register ng letters, and the giving of moneypo. «-ottive ar- ders. I tind, in 1878, the amount of money transmited by post-office orders was over £26,000.000 and the amount thus transmitted is now greatly ingyease. In 186], Post Oftice Saving Banks were established, and I find that in 1878 there were over £30,000,000 deposited there in. In 1870, the Post Office took in chargé the working of the telegraph, and iu- crease the number of officesto the great advantage of the public. Inthat year the number of telegraph messages deliv- ered, exelpgive of press service ane news- messages was 8,606,000. In’ 1878, it was about 22,500,000. “‘Lhey have nowin the United Kingdom somv®400,000 miles of telegraph in operation, amd you can send a message any where in these Iglands for one shilling (24 cts).

In obedience to the order of the County Executive Committee, the Democrats of Rowan county met in Convention on Satur- day the 28th day of August. The Convention was called to order by Frank Brown, Esq., Chairman County Exe- cutive Committee, and a permenant organi- zation was effected by electing Kerr Craige, Esq., Chairman, and C, R. Barker, Esq., and F. H. Mauney, Esq., as Secretaries. On motion, a committee on rules and a committee on credentials, consisting of one delegate from each township for each of said committees were appointed, The Committee on credentials reported that all the townships were represented by delegates duly chosen, and that the sitting delegates from Atwell’s township, about which there was a contest, were entitled to their seats. The report of tle Committee was unanimously adopted. There was a majority and a minority re- port from the Committeeon rules. “The ma- jority reportwas made through John F. Ross, Esq. That in ballotting for candidates the delegates from each township should cast the vote of the township as a unit for the ( r u Trott, Esq... That in ballotting for candi dates, the delegates for cach township should yote in such a manner as to express the pop- ular strength of each candidate as declared by the ballots cast in the late primary elec- tior. After some discussion the minority report was adopted. On motion, H. N. Woodson, Esq., was nominated by acclamation, for Register of Deeds, and J. Samuel McCubbins, Jr., “was nominated by acclamation for county Trea- surer. The convention then proceeded to nomi- nate a Coroner. On the first ballot, Mr. D. A. Atwell received the nomination by alarge majority over B. F. Fraley, Esq., his princi- pal opponent. Mr. Thos. J. Sumner then moved that, as Mr. J. L. Graeber and Mr. Frank Brown had received the highest vote at the primary election, that they be declared the nominees of this Convention by acclamation, for mem- bers of the Legis!ature. This motion pre- vailed, there being no opposition, and Mr. (iraeber and Mr. Brown were declared by the Chairman, the nominees of the Couven- tion for the House of Representatives. Mr. Sumner then moved as Mr. Waggoner had received the vote of a majority of the townships in the primary election, that he be declared the candidate of the Convention for the office of Sheriff. Mr. Bost movéd as an amendment to Mr. Sumner’s motion, that as Mr. Bingham had received a majority of the popular vote at the primary election, (511 and Mr. Waggon- er, 487), he be declared the nomincee of the Convention, Mr. Price insisted that the manner of bal loting had been fixed by the minority report of the Committee on rules; and that the deleyates of each township should cast for each candidate the number of votes propor- tioned to the popular vote received by each candidate at the primary election.

The candidates for Sheriff, having been called upon to know whether they would pledge themselves to abide the decision of the Coavention, Mr. Bingham appeared be- tore the Convention, and pledged himself to abide the action of the Convention, Mr. Waggoner declined to appear before the Convention. but Mr. Ross stated that he rep- resented Waggoner, and thereupon read a communication from Mr. Wagyonsr, in which he stated that he would not submit to the action of the convention, unless the delegates from six townships should vote for him as a unit, claiming that the dcle- gates from six townships had been instruct- ed at the primary election to yote their en- tire strength for him. Upon the first ballot, Mr. Bingham receiv- ed 22 votes and Mr. Waggoner 16. The delegates from Mt, Ulla{Gold Hill,Locke and Litaker townships,refusing to vote in accord- ance with the plan of the minority report, which the Convention had adopted. Their ballots were not counted. The Chair then announced as neither candidate had receiv- ed 29 votes, which were necessary to a choice. there was no nomination. The same result followed a second and third ballot. At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. Bingham appeared before the Conyention, and stated that for the sake of securing har- mony in the Democratic party, he would withdraw his name if Mr. Waggoner would withdraw his. Mr. Ross, speaking for Mr. ladies, or a portion of the ladies of Taylors- ville, presented him throogh Mr. +a large, beautiful boquet ef Flowers; as a token of their high appreciation of him as the standard bearer, and words of cheer and encouragement in the canse he advocates. The speeches of both the presentor and receiver were short, but iu exceedingly good taste, and were a very pleasant and appro- priate conclusion of the day’s doings. The only reason your friend Mr, Kluttz, was not the recipient of a like present was the fact that it was not known he would be here, until he arrived.

On the north side of the Stone House Farm, and adjoining it were John Dunn’s Country Farm and residence. The house was built of wood and has long since dis- appeared,but a depression in the ground still marks the spot where the old Lawyer's cel- lars once existed.

But it was an uneasy and unsettled time, for} many were the tories that hung around her borders, and depredations were frequently committed upon the peaceful families of the whigs. The men who were able for war, were absent, and the fecble non-combatants were unable to resist the violence of tory raiders. But brighter days were near at hand. Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Oct. 19,1781. On the 4th of March, 1782, the British House of Commons passed a res- olution in favor of peace, and active hostili- ties ceased.

Chained in a Dungeon Like a Dog, An Insane Man Thruat Into a Filthy Room by His Own Brother and Chata- ed tothe Floor for Twenty-Seven Years —A Terrible Story of Suffering. Special Correspondent Philadelphia Times. Reanina, August 23.—One of the saddest sights ever witnessed in this gection of the State was the taking of | a man aged fifty-five, named Benja- min Sechler, to the County Almshouse yesterday. He was dressed in a sim- ple petticoat, and from his right leg dangled arasty chain. This man had been chained and confined in a Jog dungeon for twenty-seven years. | The truthful story of this man’s mis- fortunes far exceeds anything of the : ‘shed in Easte Pennsy!- | ; kind published in Eastern | 7. | prisonment continued. vania for many years. A few days ago the directors of the poor of Berks county were infarmed of the fact that a man named Sechler, a lunatic, was confined by his brother in a filthy cabin, that the poor unfortunate was being brutally treated. Accordingly, Mr. John H. Bower, of the board of the directors, accompanied by James W. Sallade and John B. Knorr, of the almshouse, and David Heinly, justice of the peace of that section, proceeded to the upper end of Berks county, for the purpose of inaking a thorough investigation, They were directed to a wild and desolate re- gion of sparsely settled country along the Blue Mountains, in Albany town- ship. On the premises of doseph Sechler, a brother of the lunatic, was found asmall wooden building, very strongly built, of heavy logs. It con- tained but one room. A small door entrance to the dungean was bolted on the outside by a heavy oaken bar. The low roaf was covered by thatch aod brush. Under theden wasa roughly-built fire-place, constructed of rocks. Here fire was occasionally | kindled, so that the heat cauld as- | cend through the cracks of the floor, to give warmth to the imprisoned lunatic. This floor was made of yough oak slabs. CHAINED IN HIS DUNGEON. When the officials arrived they were met by Joseph Sechler, a broth- er of the lunatic. He pointed out the way ta the dungeon, at the foot of the mountains. The man in the hut beat the timbers of the sides of his fearful abode with his hands when he heard the noise of the approaching footsteps. The clumsy, heavy oak door was un- barred, and the sight presented on the inside was fearful ta behold. Crouched down ona bed of filth was an old man. His gray and shaggy beard extended to his thighs. His body was nude and brown with filth. His eyes glistened and his black teeth were firmly set. A heavy chain rat- tled on the filthy floor; one end of it was fastened toa stanle in the mid- dle of the floor andthe other was bound to one of the legs of the nude maniac, He was violent. His loag confinemeut had made him as vicious and as wiry as a bull-dog. He was savage. The officials tried to coax him, but they might as well have en- deavored to make peace with an angry hyena. The feracious being shrieked out a series of oaths and unintelligible words and beat his prison house with his black and bony fists. It wasa terrible moment. Quick as thought the poor lunatic was overpowered and ironed, The heavy chain had become sorusty thata blow from a heavy sledge was necessary to break it. The iron band about his ankle had to be filed off by the blacksmith of the almshouse when they arrived with the unfortunate lunatic at that institution. When the officials took the poor man out of his dungeon he looked about him as if he had suddenly been trang- formed into another world. For twenty-seven yearsthe sun had not shone upon him. In all that time he had been neither washed, clothed nor shaved. His brother stated that he had always given him plenty of food. This was shoved into his cell like animals are fed. The officials say that _ the floor of the dungeon was ’ covered in some places by excrement a foot in depth. The sides were black with filth and from the roof dangled cob- websand the nests af bats. There was little or no. ventilation aud the stench was unbearable, “The officers tried to get the poor man to tell hi fone, He man. Fifth had been so com- pletely rubbed into his skin that the body was like that of the most filthy animal. He made violent efforts to free himself, but could not, EE es STORY oF ‘HIS LIFE, Thirty. years ago he: was? &: young man, ttrong and vigorolis, with 9 clearsmind. , He worked ona farm}, that his father owhed.” On a very hot day, aud when his system was. ina high state of exertion ‘and perspira- tion, he jumped ina moyntain stream of cold water. After that bath his mind bhegame affected. Finally he | became deranged, His father died }and left property to his twa sans, Joseph and Benjamin. Joseph says he did not desire ta put Benjamin inte an insane asyluns, so he resoly- | ed to keep hin until he died. He thought his death would take place before a great while. Instead of this the poor man lived on and on and finally he became so violent that ‘the brother says he resalved ta build the strong cabin and chain him. For twenty-seven years this horrible im- What suffer- ing the poor man endured may be more easily imagined than described. His fingers, tipped with long black nails, looked like the claws of'4 wolf. His tues were matted together with filth, more resembling hoofs than feet. He slept on loose straw like a common animal. When he arrived at the poor house he was thoroughly washed. Jt will require weeks before he can be made thoroughly clean. His long beard was cut off, and it was some time before he could be in- duced to submit to being shaved. His handsand feet were first firmly bound. Then his hair was cut short and his scalp thoroughly cleaned. He was then dressed in a cool and comfortable suit. The best attentian is being given to him, as it is belived his mind may possibly be restored, siderable money due him from his father’s authorities to engage additional ex- pert medical assistance.

However, the celebration is attracting a good deal of attention. -The New York Sun of Monday says: “An in- teresting centennjal celebration near at hand is that held at Charlotte, in North Carolina, from October 4th to October 9th. Qn the first day comes a re-union of States ; on the second an illustration of the plan of the battle, under. Gen. Joseph £. Johnston; on de ion, of.@..monu- ment, ‘with an ode y Paul H. Hayne and an oration by Major Daniel ; on the fourth, a competitive malitia prize drill. The battle of King’s Moun- tain was one of importance, and well deserves thiscommemoration.’ *—- Char. } Obs. . edairmenmeenesr ere et aed of me ie that found’ to be at least fonr thoysand years old. ple, is-in the form of ties, holding the Lend of one stone*to another at its proper surface. When two blocks were laid in place, an excavation abayt an inch deep wis.made in each block, into which the tie shaped like an hour-glass was driven. It is there- fore very diffieylt ta force any stone from its position, The ties appear to have been of the tamarisk or shit- tem wood, of which the ark was con- structed, a sacred tree in ancient in the valley of the Nile. The doveziailed ties are just gs sound now as on the day of their in- sertion. Although fuel is extremely scare in the country, these bits of wood are not large enough ta make it an object with the Arabs to heave off layer after layer {o obtain them. Had they been af bronze, half the old tem- ples would have been destroyed years ago, so precious would they have been for various purposes. » ~~ Items of Interest, Weigh and measure al] purchases when they are brought home. Raisins should not be bought in large quantities, as they are injured by time. A Few drops of ammonia in water will thoroughly cleanse the dirtiest brush or comb. Candles improve by heing kept three or four months, and are better, therefore, if bought by the box. To test nutmegs prick them with a pin ; if they are good, the gil will at once spread round the puncture. Roaches are fond of flour paste, and if ten cents’ worth of phosphorus is stirred into it with q stick, they will die while eating it. Molasses should be kept ina cellar, Never keep pickles in glazed ware, as the vinegar farms a poisonous com- pound with the glazing. Cheese soft between the fingers is richest and best, aud should be kept in a box in acooldry place. Wipe off the mould with a dry ¢loth, Common house flies may be destroy- ed by feeding them with ground black pepper and sugar, lie on a dime, as much as_ will with two teaspoonfuls of cream or rich milk. They eat it, seek the air, and die out of doors. moistened ———- -- <p The Best Bound Fence. The best board fence that has ever been made here is called the “panel fence.” It has been in use for a doz en years, and now very little board fencing of any other kind is made. The boards are usually twelve feet long, four inches wide, and of beech, maple or other hard wood. Four boards are nailed together with battens one in the middle and one about ove foot from each end, spreading the boards far enough apart to make the heizht of the fence. Four inch square posts are driven about eleven feet apart and tnese panels hung on to the posts upon hooks of half inch iron driven into the posts. This fence can now be made here for twenty-five to eighty cents per rod: if a man has his own timber his outlay, aside from his work, need be but about twenty cents perrod. A frame is usually made to nail the panels together upon by setting up three posts with blocks nailed upon them tu hold the boards the right distance apart, and_ iron plates to clinch the nails upon; clinch or wronght nails are used. The ad- vantages of this fence are the follow- ing: It can be made in the winter or rainy days, and with a frame any man can make it. The pannels are piled up out of the way until wanted. The posts can be sharpened and hooks |. driven into them at any time. It re- quires a less number of posts; if the posts are lifted by the frost, they can be driven back without breaking the boards ; if a post rot ar is broken it can easily be replaced. The fence is easily removed by placing 3 lever un- der the hook and drawing out the posts, Should a pannel became bro- ken it can be replaced with 9 new one. Three men, ong to make the post holes owhar, one to drive the posts and one t0 hang, onthe. panels and tighten up the hooks, will set seventy- five or one-hundred -rods. in 3 day.— It has has heen reported here that some one claims a patent.on the hooks, but we do net know of any one who ever paid anything for ysing them. the an- ae ‘gieut temples of Egypt in, connection | with the stanework which is known| — This, the anly waod’ used inthe tem- a Egypt and now yery rarely found: Fruit Jars!

It is growing darker, colder, Every year ; As the heart and soul grow older Every year; I care no more for dancing, Or for eyes with passion glancing, | Love is less and less entraueing Every year, Of the love and sorrows blended | Every year; Of the charms of friendship ended | Every year ; Of the ties that still might bind me, Until Time and Death resigned me, My infinities remind me Every year. Ah! how sad to look before us Every year ; While the cloud grows darker o’er us | Every year; When the blossoms are all faded, That to bloom we might have aided, , And immortal garlands braided Every year, To the past go more dead faces Every vear; As the loved leave vacant places very year ; Rverywhere th. sad eyes meet us, In the coming dask they greet us, And to come to them entreat us luvery year. “You are growing old,” they tell us > Every year ; You are more alone,” they tell us Every year; “You can win no new affection, You have only recolleetion, Deeper sorrow and dejection Every year. Yes! the shores of life are shifting Every Venn; And we are seaward drifting Every vear; Oil places changing fret us, The living neve forget us, There are fewer to regret us Every year.

Ee Robert Burns. BY HENRY W. LONGFELLOW. I see aniid thy fields of Ayr who in foal or fair, Stogs at his task, So clear we know not if it is The laverock’s song we hear, or his, Nor care to ask. For him the plowing of thosefields A more ethereal harvest vielde Than sheaves of grain; Songs flush with purple bloom the rye The plover’s call, the curlew’s ery, Sivg in his brain. Touched by his hand, the way-side weed Becomes a flower: the lowliest reed Beside the stream Ts clothed with beauty ; horse and grass And heather, where his footsteps pass Lhe brighter seem. I He sings of love, whose flame illumes | The darkness of love cottage roums ; He feels the force, VThe treacherous under-tow and stress. Of the wayward passions and no less The keen reinorse. At moments, wrestling with his fate, His voice is harsh, but not with hate ; | The brush-wood hung | Above the tavern door lets fall tts bitter leaf, its drop of gall, Upon his tongue. But still the burden of his sonz In love of right, disdain of wrong; In master-chords Are Manhood, Freedom, Brotherhood ; Its discord but an interlude Between the words. And then to die so young, and leave Untinished what he might achieve! Yet better sure Is this than wandering up and down, An old man in a country town, Intirm and poor. For now he haunts his native land Asan immortal youth; his band Guides every plow ; He sits beside each ingle-nook ; His voice is in each rushing brook, Each rustling bough. Ifis presence haunts this room to-night, A form of mingled mist and light, From the far coast. Welcome beneath this roof of mine! Welcome! this vacant chair is thine, Dear guest and ghost.

The real animus was to subordinate the civil tu the military power in all the South, and to remove Hancock because he recognized the law as superior to the sword. Garfield’s speech in support of this latter bill is a model of vituperation and venom. President Johnson was attacked for using his authority to obstruct and delay the res- toration of the States, and Hancock was re- ferred to as the Major-General of the Army, in Whom Johnson had found a facile iustru- ment for obstructing reconstruction.

Their townships expresed their preference at the ballot box for candidates for | ' : ‘tial, practical, desirable reform in the the various nominations, and their delegates had no other alternative but to represent the wishes of the ma- jority of the people in their town- ships. It wonld have made J. Madi- | son Weils and the Louisiana return- ing board blush to have witnessed the boldness manifested by certain dele- gates in that convention to capturc the nomination already given to another man, The mittee laid down a_ plan governing central executive com- township meetings and each and every one of that cominittee has given as his opinion that Mr. Waggoner was the legally nominated candidate for sheriff.

They tried their hands two years ago, and may be used to defeat and not take it very hard. Hancock, Jarvis, Armfield, and the whole State ticket, will not suffer anything by the sher- iff’s race, as our people are too good Democrats to forget their allegiance to the party and not vote the whole ticket. Very respectfully, AX. The Charlotte Democrat, whose ed- itor has lived in Charlotte for the last twenty-five years, characterises the assertion as a baseless fabrication. The Democrat says: “Gen.

We sbould have what is attainable of civ- i] service reform, in substance, in place of so much sentimental twaddle, with- out performance, on that subject as we have now. In these respects Gen. Garfield is the very oppoiite of General Hancock. IIis training is that of the mere party politician, By instinct and habit he is a demagogue. His strength consists mainly in the adriot practice of the arts of the partisan. For money he betrayed his trust as a member of the National Legislature; for office he basely betrayed his confiding friend in the Chicago Convention. If elect- ed he would environ himself with low and venal characters like Richard Harrington, who is one of his promi- nent most ardent supporters. Witha man for President who has once dishonorably put money in his purse, what sort of characters may we expect to see in subordinate places. Let the thoughtful, intelligent, con- scientious, patriotic voters of the Uni- ted States consider these great differ- ences between Hancock and Garfield. —N, Y.

The Business Men. How they View the Situation of South- ern Trade. The Brooklyn Eagle has interviewed the large business firms of New York, or their representatives, of A. T. Stweart & Co., H. B.

Jaf- fray & Co., Howard Bros. & Reed, and Mills & Gibbon the state of trade be- ; tween the North and South, and draws these conclusions from what they say: First—They without exception give the lie to every pretence that the South ern people exhibit any hostility to North- ern men. Second—They give the lie to the not unfamiliar assertion that Northern men, unless they be Democrats, are ostracised in Southern communities, and that the Southern people will not do business with Northern Republicans, or for that matter with Republicans from any sec- tion. _ Third—They report a state of mind in no respect different from what prevails with good men here. There is attention to business, contempt for issues that are dead beyond recall, love of honor and justice between inan and man. Fourth—As between the negro and the white they report a steadily growing good will, born of the colored man’s ap- preciation of his identity in point of in- terest with his white peighbor, and the white man’s equally clear appreciation that the colored man’s labor is indispen- sable to him. Fifth—Of the reported bulldozing, se- cession sentiment and general violence they have seen and heard nothing except in the columns of partisan newspapers. Sixth—Their proof of sincerity in af- firming the peaceable purposes of the South and the integrity of the people, is furnished in the fact that they are do- ing tradein every Southern city and town, have given them credit to the ex- tent of millions, and are pressing them to accept millions more. ——_—__-__ The tidal wave of emigration is about to strike this country with tremendous force. Our dispatches this morning indicate la- bor troubles in England which promises to send to this country a most valuable popu- lation. Emigration to America offers the only certain extrication from the disastrous complications that now surround them. Ex- traordinary as the German emigration has been, it is largely on the increase, the causes being the church troubles, the pressure of increased taxation, the greater cost of living, the political reaction, and the dread of ac- tive service in the army. Bremen, Stetting, Hamburg and Antwerp has sent abroad dur- ing the first six months of 1880 a tota! of 50,442 persons, against only 16,099 in the same time in 1879; 13,844 in 1878, and 12,- 021 in 1877—that is to say, the emigration this year is 8,478 in excess of the aggre- gate for the first six months of the three preceding years. How many of these sturdy and thrifty emigrants las North Carolina received? How many willshe receivein the future? The State is almost unknown. How are these emigrants likely to hear of it? Not only are the Western States active and energetic in distributing such information among these people as might induce them | to go there, but other countries are in the field.

It is feared the full extent of the loagyof life has not yet been ascertained. ne i P—_.. The Creed of Cain, boba The Faneuil Hall meeting in Boston, last Saturday, was a notable event in the! politics of Massachusetts. Albert Palmer presided over this meeting, and made a speech that rings in our ears as we write. His arraignment of the Republican party with which he has acted for twenty years is one of the most scathing invectives in the history of politics. Every election day, he said, has marked the waning of its strength by hundreds of thousands of lost votes. We see it in 1876, in the ago- ny of shipwreck, clinging to the floating spars of a few technichal quibbles, while jority of a quarter of a million swept its” battered decks until, finally, we see it es- caping death on lifecraft of a juggling ar- bitration. The ecene changes and we seo it at Chicago tossed with internal dissen- tions, the prey of contending factions, and animated by Flanagan’s commanding spir- it we hear them bandying for a whole week the name of the once illustrious man who yet lives to link them with their greater past and then behold them as they thrust aside the conqueror of Rich- mond for the hero of De Golyer and Cred- it Mobilier. On the Southern question he was equally pronounced and emphatic, He said it will fail. It ought to fail. It is the gospel of revenge preached by -the apostles of an everlasting vendetta. It is the fanatical programme of a party that secs no future for itself unless the North aud the South can be placed at ten paces from each other and kept there in an end- less duel. “I denounce these doctrines “as the political creed of Cain. I believe “the people of the North will repudiate “them. There is and there can be no ra- “tional pretence that the North fears the “South. The men who put it forward do “not believe it.” ame Clingman’s Electric Light. A Patent Refused Because It Conflicts With Edison's. WasHINaTon, Aug. 30.—An appeal hag been filed in the district Supremg Court by ex-Senator Thomas L. CAN grann, of Asheville, N.

This is sustained by two platuius wires and gives light by its resistance toelectricand candiscence, it be- ing infusible and incombustible.

THOSE INSTRUCTIONS, In reviewing the hasty and erroneous conclusions arrived at by some of Mr. Binghain’s friends on the subject of the Instructions aid down by the Central Executive Committee, for the government of the Township and County Conventions, we have thought proper to give our read- ers a plain insight to the meaning ot the said instructions. But before we proceed, we canuot refrain from referring to the ut- ter inconsistency of the /xaminer as is at once shown up, whey) you may read in its columus of the 2eth ult., where, in its eee speaking of these in- s@uctidls, it says: “We think it very plain, if the plan pdopted by the Executive Committee, who inaugurated the primary system, is to be carrjed out,” In the very next issue following, it turis a complete somersault, and says : “The purport of that document,” (the inst: uctions), “ambiguous and indistinct as it is, clearly favors,” &c. It this is uot mixing things, we are greatly mistaken! What is it that is so clearly “plain?” Why, the course to be ursued (as laid down in the instructions) . the township and county conventions! Yet, this same document is declared to be “ambiguous and indistinct.” Now if the Jatter be true, how could things be ‘‘plain” and “clear?” But we agree with the Jz- aminer to the extent that the instructions are plainly set forth, 80 that there can be no misunderstanding as to their meaning. These instructions read : “In case of a division or preference in any township, then the chairman of ifs delegation shall cast its vote according to the wish of its individual members.” “Individual members” of what! Why, the individual members of the township delegation ; nothing more nor nothing less, And if aJl the members of any single del- egation are agreed to cast their vote sol- jdly for a candidate, there is not a word, ara clause, in the document that takes from them that right; neither is there a word in the whole of these instructions that even hints that the county conven- tion kas the authority, which it assumed, to direct them, oytside of these instruc- tions, how they shall cast the vote of their township. Aud again, as tothe pro rata system which the Execative Committee concedes to delegates. The following, which the Foaminer quotes to sustain its position, is 80 plain it really needs no comments, bat because of the stubborn disposition of some ip their persistency in misrepresent- ing facts and thereby creating wrong im- pressions, we will brietly comment cu its It reads: “Ifany delegates or alternates of any township are absent from the county con- Vetiun, the deleate or alternates present trom such township shall be entitled to vote the full strength of the township, and iu case of a division of opinion or preference in such township, then each delegate shall be entitled toa pro rata part of the votes of the said absent dele- gates or alternates in addition to his own vote, and thechairman of such delegation shall thus cast its vote according to the wish of its individual members.” This is identical to the other, only it goea fitther to simply inscruct how a part of a delegation js to vote in case a part of said delegation be absent and the mem- bers in attendance at county convention do net agree to casting the vote of their township solidly for any candidate. But if they are agreed, then they, too, clearly wand undoubtedly have the right to cast the vote solidly. We will now revert back to another clause of the iustructions, to show how the township delegates were elected and “counted in” by the committees at the varioys polling places in the townships; this, it can be seen at a glance, detides which of the candidates are eleeted above his Guuipetitors at apy oue or all of the said towuship polling places. We quote from the third paragraph of the instrue- tious, omitting, as will be observed, all that is not relevant to the point iy band: “The township conventions shall elect their delegates by ballot. * * : The viclegates each township is entitled bo, receiving the Atghest unmber of votes many township convention shall be de- clared by the towaship executive commit- tee to be the delegates elected.” clearness, And now to our first version of these instructions, which sums up the whole ip the following : “In order that yoar delegates may know your preferences fer the various oflices to be tilled, each township is requested to ballot at its convention for candidates for the yarious nominations, tlie balloting to be nuder the supervison of the executive committees respectively aud governed by the same rules and regulations, as far as appliexble, as are above prescribed for balloting for delegates.” The Ezaminer hag not attempted to ex- plain away the meaning af this for reasons thatare evidently plain enough. “Ip order that your delegates may know your pre- ferences.” What is meant by “your pre- The Central Committee have told-us as plainly as they could which delegates to decide on as being the, pre-4 Pt _ ferred sa efter they tell us that these. eanlig rutes and regulations youst fovern township committees, and ihe eleeted delegation cannot bat know the township’s preference for a candidate by the same rule which tells them that they are the preferred delegates of thei township, Which result is ferences ?” » thot the ean- fAidate or Mudidates receiving the highest vote at the township meeting can be none other than the preference, And farther, in regard to divisions and preferences in townships, the delegation of each respective township should be the judge to decide for whom they should cat their vote and not the county convention. Here is our candid opinion on this part of the subject, and we are borne out in placing this interpretation upon these in- structions by the authors of the same ; and we are not surprised if Messrs. Bingham and Co. are not seeing it in the same light. Yet they have, with a persistency un- equaled, impeded the plain legitimate course intended to have been carried out by these instructions. This they dare not deny, Aud here we assert, without fear of contradiction, that the above proves who are the disorganizers and en- emies to Democratic harmony in the ranks of our party. Not the Watchman aud the masses of the Democrats of Rowan; but, on the other hand, there are a few cham- pions of the Bingham, “wirepulling” par- ty, who are trying to impress the honest men of the county juto the belief that if they du not support their pet they are guilty of a great political sin. Fellow Democrats, look well to your principles, watch these sneaking, blathering, sure- enough disorganisera, aod vote every time for Charley Waggoner, the true Democratic candidate for sheriff, and you may rest assured your votes will be couut- ed next time. rr a We attended the Franklin Picnic last Saturday—arrived there just before din- der, A handsome flag was flung to the breeze in the forenoon, bearing the names of “Hancock and Jarvis.” After din- ner Judge Fraley introduced the Honor- able Ghas. Price, He made a fine demo- cratic address, shaping all his arguments to dovetail with his opipious of the divide between the two candidates for sheriff. He denounced as ‘‘bolters, disorganizers and enemies all who refused to support Mr. Bingham--the regularly and fairly vominated exponent of democratic prin- ciples in Rowan County.” These are grave charges, but the Hon. Charles Price makes them and they must be true; for he is honorable,—at least Judge Fraley intro- duced him as such, and Judge Fraley knows! Mr. Waggoner recejved 33 electoral votes on three separate and distinct bal- lots, yet the HIon. Charles Price says that “Mr. Wagggner and his friends are bolters, 'disorganizers and enemies to democracy. The ffon. Charles Price knows ! Hon. Charles Price says that Mr. Bing- ham did not seek the nomination; that the people iu the county brought him ont. Looks a little strange that the people’s candidate must have such a champion as the gifted Charles Price to fight his bat- tles! But the Hon. Chas, Price knows! In the convention, after the threc ballots which so persistently nominated Mr. Wag- goner, the ITon. Chas. Price offered a res- solution (which the secretary mentioned in his report, but does not publish ver- batim), prefacing it by saying that the convention could come to no conclustion by voting as it did [it nominating Wag- gouer every time], and that every dele- gate be allowed to vote his own individu- al preference for sheriff. It was on this ballot the overiding was done, and which, itis claimed, nominated Bingham. The Hon. Chas Price says it was fair and just —he knows! The official vote, which was cast in ac- cordance with the ideas promulgated by the Central Executive Committee, nomi- uated Waggoner one, two, three times! Yet, Hon. Chas. Puice saya that Mr. Wag- goner is ‘a bolter, and his friends are dis- organizers and enemies to the Democrat- ic party.” The Honorable Charles Price knows! After this effusion, Mr. James M. Gray was called and made a Democratic speech, culogising the National and State leaders, plead for their support in a most thrilling and interesting manner. He did not touch county affairs, except incident- ally. Mr. J. L. Greeber was then called and made hia firet political talk. His remarks were appropriate and bere the stamp of honesty and sincerity of parpese to do what was right, and to do it with all his might. There was no demnagogisin, dodg- ing, or wilful pervertion of facts in his remarks. Mr. Bingham was called and excused himself from making a speech, but said that be was the nomince of the conven- tion, and that he would show during the campaign that the convention could not have done anything else than it did. He was iollowed by Col. F. E. Shober, who made an able talk, touehing only the matin issues in the coming campaign—did net refer to county affairs in particular. So ended the day’s pleasure and the Frankhu Pienie. ROWAN COUNTY, BY J. R. THE FIBST YEARS GF PEACE, On the 19th of October, 1781, Lord Corn- wallis surrendered to General Washington at Yorktown, in Virginia. It was in the middle of the night, a day or two after, that the news of this closing scene in the mighty drama reached Philadelphia. A watchman in the street called out, “Twelve o'clock, and acloudy morning—Cornwallis taken.” In a short time the whole eity was aroused, and the wildest manifestations of joy were eased: The same uews ran rapidly over all the States, spéhiie peo lei 7 and hamlet were qi IA ae ings England all hope of subjugating the States was ahgndoned, and Lord North retired from ihe Ministry and the Whigstook charge of the government. Negotiations for’ peace Were entered into, and five commissioners from the United States met alike number from England in Paris, and a provisional treaty of peace was signed September 3rd, 1782. A tinal treaty was signed at the same place, on the 8rd of September 1783, and each of the original Thirteen Colonies was ileal acknowledged by @regt Britain to be an In- dependent and Sovereign State. uf thoggh peace with England was de- clared, there were many bitter beart-burnings in the bregsts'‘of ihe people among them- selves, The army was unpaid,and efforts were made to array it against Congress, and thus turn oyer the public civil government into a military despotism. Nothing but the cour- arrested that sad calamity. Besides this there were many loyalists in every part of the country, some of whom had taken up arms in behalf of Great Brit- ain. and many others had remained neutral inthe struggle. When peace came the whigs could scarcely feel that their tory neighbours ought to enjoy equal rights and privileges with themselves, and no doubt were easily provoked to taunt them with insulting epi- thets. These were days of violence, and he who had the brawniest arm, or was most active of limb, came out conqueror. Many of the loyalists voluntarily removed to dis- tant parts of the country, while others re- ceived legal noticeto depart. Besides this, suits were brought ‘against many tor the confiscation of their property for disloyalty, according to act of the Assembly of North Carolina. This act was adopted at the first meeting of the General Assembly under the Constitution, at Newbern, April 8th, 1777, and declares it to be treason and puxishable with death and confiscation of goods, to take commission in the army of Great Bri- tain in North Carolina, or to aid or assist in any way the enemies of the State. Tbe law was terribly severe, and was never fully ex- ecuted. Still, in 178%, twenty-two persons were summoned te appear before the Row- an Inferior Court charged with disloyalty. Some were found guilty and some were uc- quitted. But the sale of the property of ee fouud guilty was postponed. At the Inferior Court of Rowan for February, 1783, no less than one huudred and sixty persons were cited to appear and show cause why their estates should not be confiscated, Though the citation was signed with the names of Griffith, Rutherford, Jas. McCay, Win. Sharpe, and Robert Mackie, Magistra- tes, holding the Court, it is recorded that the entire lot made default, and thereby ig- nored or defied the Court. The curious reader will find a list of their names on Minute Docket of Rowan Inferior Court for Feb. 1783, volume 1778-1786. It bas been supposed that a considerable part of the German population of Rowan were neutral or averse to the war. Butif such was the case not many of them committed any overt act bringing them within perview of the law provided against disloyalty. Out of the one hundred and eighty-two names but a small part—about one fifth—are German pames, the rest are common English names. The revolutions of one hundred years have softened the asperities and rounded off the snarp prejudices engendered by the great con- flict, and we are now able to ace thatitcould be possible for a man to be conscientiously convineed that it was his duty to maintain his loyalty to the king to whom he had given his oath of allegiance. But it was more than could Le reasonably expected of the suffering patriots of that day tosce itin that light. But slowly, imperceptibly better days came on, and the husbandman could again devote his whole time to the improve- ment of his farm, and the good housewives to their domestic affairs. In those days the tarmer’s life was far more independent and aclf-sustaining than at present. With the exception of a few articles, such agiron, salt, a little sugar and coffee, or chocolate, pep- per and spice, the farm, the flocks and herds sielded all that was consumed at the homer of our people. The table was loaded with home productions. The operations of the farm were carried on with rude and simple implements and in a primitive way. The market for grain and flour was several hundred miles distant, and the expense of transportation was too great to justify the raising of more than was need- ed on the farm. The rich new grounds and bottom lands with their virgin soil, brought forth a bountiful crop with little labor, and left a large margin of time for fishing and hunting. There was always actslack sea- son” between the “laying by” of crops and fodder-puiling time. ‘That was the time to hunt squirrels, and the crack of the rifle might be heard around the cornfields on all sides. And then fishing expeditions vere organized to some fyvorite pond, or stretch of the river, where with long circling seine the Jumping trout, and the blushing red horse were captured. The farmers’ bove knew where the swectest wild grapes or the most tempting muscadines grew, or where the thinnest shelled scaly barks, or fattest hickory nuts, or the plumpcest and juiciest black haws were to be found. and visited them accordingly. These same farmers’ boys also knew the haw trees. persimmon trees, and grape vines in all the country round that were likels to be frequented by the fat opossums in the later fall, and they had their ‘possum dove in good training by the time the first hard trost ripened the per- simmons and the opossum himself, and inade his flesh fit foreating. But before that time came around, even the “slack eesaon” had some work to be done. No circulating Threshing Machine, or Separator, was then to be found, to clean up the wheat and orate ofa farm ina single day. Instead of that the farmer built his double log-barn with a threshing or tramping floor between the stables. The wheat and oate were hauled from the harvest fields and packed on the sta- ble lofts, and on the loft over the. barn fluor. This floor was usually twenty-five or thirty feet square, and was shut in on both sides with huge foiding doors. When thetramp- ing time came a floor of wheat was thrown down, the bundles untied and laid in a cir- cle around the centre of the floor. The fold- ing doors were threwn open, and several spans of horses were put in to walk sround and around upon the wheat until it was separated from the straw and chaff--the at- tendants in the meantime turning over the straw as required. At first the wheat was winnowcd with a sheet, or coverlet tied up by two corners, and briskly swung by two men, while one slowly poured down the mix- ed wheat and chaff. But wheat fans were soon introduced, and their clatter could be heard at a great distance, doing up the work neatly and rapidly. The oats, being more easily crushed by the hard beofs, and the straw being used tomake “cut feed” for the horses, were usual- ly threshed out with flails, the bundles be- ing kept entire. No matter ifthe grain was not entirely taken out—the horses would get it in their feed, . Later in the fall waa the time for pulling and shucking the corn, A huge long heap, straight or crescent shaped, containing thir- ty, fifty or a hundred loads of corn in the shueks, was jaled up in the barn yard. On a given day a boy was sent out to ask hands to come in to the shucking on a night ap- pointed. Fifty hands, perhaps, might come just at dark. A rail would be placed in the middle, and the hands divided by two cap- tains who threw up “cross and pile” for first choice of hands. Then came the race, the Son ae ne, and the singing of corn-songs, ifany ne present. And generally a bottle of brandy was circulated several times and was sampled by most of those present. Quite a number would some- times get excited by the liquor, but it was considered disgraceful to get drunk. Some- times a fight would eccur, especially if the race was a close one. The winning side would try to carry their captain around the pile in triumph, but a well-directed ear of corn, sent by some spiteful hand on the age and patriotism of Gen, Washington | would be excited, anda oecur, But these were rare. ter the corn was shucked, and the shucks put into a pen, came the shucking supper— loaf, biscuits, ham, pork, chicken pie, pum p- kin custard, sweet cakes, apple-pie, grape- pie, coffee, sweetmilk, buttermilk, preserves, jn short a rich feast of everything yiclded by the farm, It required a good digestion to manage such a feast at teu or eleven o’clock at night, but the hardy sons of toil had a good digestion. Or if anything were wanting, a tramp of four or five miles, on an opossum or coon hunt, lasting till one or two o’clock in the morning, would be sufficient to settle the heartiest shucking supper that ever was spread on the farmers’ tables in bountiful old Rowan county. the blacksmith and the weaver plied their avocacions all over the county. The wand- ering tinker came around at intervals, with his crucible and his molds for spoons, plates and dishes, and melted and transformed in- to bright new articles the old broken pew- ter fragments that were carefully preserved, How the youngsters would stare at hin as he stirred the molten pewter with his bare finger! And how diligently the boys hunt- ed the rabbit, mink, muskrat, otter and rac- coon, and preserved their skins, to be taken to the hatter at Jumping Run or Cross-Keys, or Dutch Second Creek, to be made into a sleck and shining beaver, to be worn ts their tirst ‘fur hat,” instead of the old heavy. hard “wool hat,” that was now to be used only as an “every day hat.” Every house had ite pairs of cards for wool and cotten, ite large and small spinning wheel, revelv- ing rapidly under the pressure of deft fing- ers or strong and elawtie foot, while the thread or yarn, by the “cut” and “hank,” hung on pegs in the wall. As the visitor approached the house, as soon as the morn- ing chores were “done up,” be would hear the deep bass rumbling of the large wheel. or the buzzing of the little flax wheel, with its hooked “flyers” whirling the thread around till sufficiently twisted, and then let- ting the thread skillfully in ov the spool. Or perhaps he would hear the creaking of the reel, with its sharp click, asit told when a “cut? was reeled from the spool. Or per- haps he would seea pair of huge “warping bars,” or “winding blades” slowly revolving. as they measured off the chain,” or “tilling,” of the next six bundred “slaie” plain white shirting or copperaa cloth, or it may be of “Jinsey” or perbaps jeans. And then what efforts were put forth to secure the most brilliant dyes, and the fastest colors! The garden contained a bed of **madder,” whose roots gave the brown or red dye. A patch ofindigo furnished the blue. Walnut reots, and bark, or maple bark, with a little cop- peras, supplied the tintyof black and = pur- ple, ora little logwood gave a lustrous black. No “aniline dyes” were known, but roots, barks and leaves leht their essential colors to the fabrics spun and woven by fair maid- ens and hearty matrons. The Fourth of July in those days was the yrand holiday of the year. An orator was procured, and the Declaration was invpressivelsy read, and the daring deeds of rhe illustrious statesmen of 1776 were commemorated. It would be varied with now and thenamilitary parade with screaming fife and rattling drum, and now and then a barbecue. Early in the spring the good wives beysn to get up the Fourth of July suits for their husbands, each priding heraelfion having the most nicely dressed hnsband on that gala day. Old silks were cut up into shreda, picked to pieces, and carded with cotton to make a “silk mixed” coat. Vesta, with ~ Turker red” stripes, cut bias, and pointing like chevronr to the buttons, were in the height of fashion. Knee-breeches, with long stockings, tied with garters, and shoes with huge silver buckles had not gone ont of style in those dars. The material of the breeches was rot unfrequentiya soft pliant, vellow buckskin, very “stretchy” of a rainy day, The wite of a distinguished citizen of Salisbury in those days is said to have excelled all the rest by rigging her husband out. onacertain Fourth of July, in @ full snit of *nankeen cotton,” carded, spun, woven and made in her own house. Another textile fabric of those days was flax. The flax patch, with its delicate blue bosaois, was a pleasing spectacle. And the flax was skillfully pulled, the sced threshed out, and in due time laid out to “rot.” When the inner stem was aufli- ciently ‘rotted,’ the ponderous strokes of the huge “flat-brake” could be heard, and the swish of the scuteher as he cleaned the fibre with his sharp edged paddle. And lastly the heckelling pees separated the tow from the perfect linen. The flax-wheel with ite “reck” wound round with flax required the highest skill, and the product when bleached furnished the beautiful liner, whose snowy whiteness was the pride of the most ambitious and thrilty hcusekceper of Rowan, Her own attire was a’yo made by her own fingers, and she was an».‘ept in stripes and checks, knew how (o insert gorea and gneseta, and if tall, how to eke out the cloth tothe proper length. But finer artieles were often needed for female attire, than these home made fabrics. Ribbons and laces, with satin and brocade were also in demand from the looms of France anid Italy. A Leghorn or Dunstable, or perhaps a silk gig bonnet, pranella, or moroeeo shoes, bound on with ribbons crossing eoquettisb- ly over the foot and around the ankle, and peeping shy!y beneath the short drras, com- pleted her attire. And then mounted on a spirited horee of her ewr, or may be ona piltion behind, she was ready to accompany her escort fora ten or twenty mile ride to church, to a wedding, a party or a quilting frolic. Those were active, healthful, buoy- ant, biithaome times, those early days of American Independence, and it is probable that the sum tutal of social and Homate happiness was greater than in these ad- vanced daye. Themore people help them- selves, as a general rule, the happier they are. There ia gladness in the snecess- ful ingenuity required to supply the real and artificial wants of domestic and social life. Some one has recently said that the Ameri- can is the only man that has ever had cnongh to eat. And now that he has get to the West, and can go no further without going to the East, he is turned back upon himaelf to grow and prs what can be made ofa man in a land of plenty. And those were days of plenty. The virgin soil brought forth bountifally. Herds of cattle and droves of swine fed si large, unrestrained Ly any stock law. Bears, deer, turkeys, wild geese and ducks abounded. The Yadkin and the Ca- tawba were filled with shad, trout, red- horse, pike. bream. perch, cat-fsh and ccls, and the fisherman seldom returned without a heavy string of fish. Besides this, the early Rowan man wasa man of faith. He may have been a little rough and free in«his manners, but he had his religious beliefs, and his religious obser- vances. On the western side of the county the Presbyterians had. their churches, Thya- tira, Third Creek, and Bethphage, where Dr. McCorkle, Rey, Jas. D. Kilpatrick and Rev. John Carrigan preached,and taught the people the strong Calvinism of their creed.

While the in- crease within that time has been very marked, we have no idea it has been as great as appears, and the reason of this is that the census just completed was taken with great care, while the work ten years ago was very indiffer- ently done. Our correspondent cites acase in point: he has personal knowi- edge of the fact that ten years ago twelve or fifteen families in hig town- ship were not enumerated at all. Another proof of what we assert lies jn the fact that the census report of 1870 gave the town of Salisbury a population of but 168; and still another is this: that ten years ago the population of Statesyille—then 644—was not included in the returns made of the population of Iredell county. Weare not prepared to say that the same carelessness operated al] over the South to make the popula- tion appear smaller that jt really was, but we are quite prepared to believe that such was in great part the case, and the explanation is easy : the cen- sus takers in 1870 were paid by the day, and it was a matter of indiffer- ence with them, whether or not their enumerations were correct. This year the work done regulates the pay, hence greater care and industry on the part of the enumerators. But whether the increase has been real or only apparent, we have no idea that any person really doubts the correctness of the figures which have been returned from the South to the census bureau at Washington, The irae precise in its statements), has opera- ied two or three times weekly, ‘and now Mr. A’s ggit and color have wonderfully ‘imptoved, the withered appearance of bis flesh is nearly gone and he declares that he feels as strong as half a century ago, Jn shart, five years ago there seemed every reason why he should die, now there seems to be none why ke shquld not live as long as the supply of blood holds out, and that, since Dr. Norris's discoyery means forever. Here, then, is at last found the object of Ponce de Leon's fatal voyage, If, naw, Dr. F. or Mr. A., living in a town of Louisi- ana,’ would’ only confirm this re- markable story, we should be quite ready to agree that “reagon stands awe-struck at the probable syccess of science in eventually conquering the last enemy that is to be destroyed.” —New York Times. , A Steamer Goes Down and is Lost. New’ York, Sept. 3—A_ special fron St. Augustine, Fla., gives the following: There is very little doubt that the steamer City Vera Cruz, of the Mexican Line, which sailed from here on the 25th of August for Havana and Vea Cruz went down in the recent hurricane which has al- ready strewn our coast with wrecks. Only the faintest hopes remain that any of her passengers have survived. This terrible discovery was made yes- terday, when a portion of the mail earricd by the ill-fated vessel was washed ashore some miles south of this city.

All counties having over 39,873 population are entitled to three mem- bers of the Legislature per se, There are but twoof these. All haying 26,582 are entitled ta two members per se. There are but two of these —Halifax and Granvillle. This disposes of ten members among these four counties. Each of the other counties is entitled per se to which takes up 90 more members and leaves twenty mem- bers to be distributed among the counties accarding to their surplus. Wake has a surplus of 8,397, which entitles her to one more making four for Wake. one member, member, Mecklen- burg has a surplus of 3,094, which does not entile her to an additional member. The follow’ ig twenty-one counties have each a surplus of 6,- 756 and over, which gives them e¢: an additional member, to-wit: Hal- ifax, Granville, Edgecombe, Wayne, Robeson, Orange, Johnston, Guilford Chatham, Cumberland, JTredell, War- ren, Buncombe, Pitt, Rockingham, mwa Remedies are y sold by Druggists and Dealers in Médicine every- Pe $ Rocheste ir, N.Y. if SS-Send for Pamphles ¥ aod Testimoniailg. .

MALE GALLON AND QUART has been burn of that spirit of male- volence which causes the Radical press to go daily clean out of its way to offer some new affront to the peo- ple of the South. This is simply the old cry that the South is attempting to effect by fraud what it failed to do by force, and it is the fact that they should take this occasion, rather than that they have taken this position, that excites within usa spirit of re- sentment. Irom an enemy possessed of any magnanimity we might have expected congratulations that, under heaven, we have regained some of our prosperity and made some advance- ment ina material sense upon our condition of ten years ago, but instead of this, maligned to prevent our in- crease, we are now told that we lie when we say that in spite of their libels we have increased. And yet there are Southern men upon whom the bonds of brotherhood sit so lightly that they can act with the set which is so malignant in its feel- ing toward the South that it hates it for its very prosperity,‘and takes no pains to conceal the chagrin which it feels when it realizes that after all its. efforts it hag failed to utterly ruin us, Misguided fellow-citizens, how can you train with the party which is held together by the one bond of sympathy—unalterable hatred of your people !— Statesville Landmark. How We May Live Forever. The London Standard his hitherto exclusive information of two events which may be fairly described as of vital interest to those who can put two and two together, and are averse as most men are, to shuffling off this mortal coil. The first is that Dr. Norris, of Birmingham, has so mas- tered the chemistry of the blood of man that he can manufacture it, say by the gallon or barrel. Now, blood without an organism is like savorless salt, but, given an organism, if only good new blood could be supplied at will when the unaided powers of nature begin to fail, who might not the human machine go on forever ? This is mere theory on our part, but the Stundard’s authority says itisa fact, and that it is shown to be so by another test of human endurance, be- side which even Dr. Tanner's — apropos of which the story is told— “pales its ineffectual fire,” This strange thing has, it seems, been going on right among us, that is to say, “in a town in Louisana,” for no less aud po more “distant a period than the Jast five yeare. An old nan of ninety is at once the subject.of the prolong- ed experiments, and the stil] living proof of the theory that the decay of the tissues may be arrested, and the entire system may be rej “By ea spa of the process of of blood. Upon this Mr. A., and in this “town of Louisi- ana,” Dr. F., (It is to be regretted | This at once indicated that the vessel ‘was a mail steamer, bound for South- ern ports, and the surmise was that ‘it must have been the City of Vera ‘Cruz, as she left New York on the |day last named. | A special to an evening paper from |St. Augustine, Fla., says of the sup- | posed wreck of the City of Vera Cruz ithat thus far six bodies have been washed up, together with a large ‘amount of miscellaneous merchandise. One of the bodies was that of a mid- 'dleaged lady, but there was nothing ‘about her that would lead to her |identification. Another body was | that of achild four years old, name ‘not known, but probably Welsh, as Ithey were the only family that had children with them. The others were /sailors, with the exception of one, | who was well dressed like a well-to-do ‘business man. He looks like a Span- ‘iard. It is feared that the terrific gale |that has raged here for the past week | made it impossible for any of those ‘an board of the ill-fated steamer to save themselves. The shore for miles is strewn with pieces of timber, boxes, and barrels. Wrecking companies have been or- ganized, and everything of value is being stored in a store-house on Main street, aa They Fight Agin Him. Last Saturday evening a crowd gathered around two politicians on the sidewalk nnder our sanctum window, who were discussing Hancock and Garfield. While the discussion was at its height, an old lady wearing a pair of heavy rimmed spectacles, an old time lace bonnet that set on her head like a silver dollariand tied behind her neck, a muslin dress with figures of gourds all over it, punched her way through the crowd with her umbrella and got close up to the two wranglers. She couldn’t stand still, but twitched about as if she had an electric battery in her pocket. Every time the Hancock mau would bring down a point on Garfield, she would make a sweep with her umbrella and shout: “Hit him agin.” Her enthusiasm was un- bounded, and after the wrangle was over between the two men she turned to the crowd and informed them that she “had three sous who fit agin Han- cock. Bill lost a leg a foughtin’ of ‘im, and Jeems planted his left arm at Gettysburg, but darn if what’s left of my boys don’t vote for him, certain, strangers.” —Concord Sun. And this all comes of Gen. Han- cock’s knowing when to quit fiighting and how to be generoys to wound- ed soldiers, whether in the blue or the gray.

New Hanover, Sampson, Franklin, Randolph, Davidson, Northhampton. They, therefore, have two members ; the other seventy-one counties are en- titled to only one member each. Ran- dolph, with a population of 20,047 gets two members. Row.n, with 20,- 003 has but one. New Hanover and Craven each lose a member under the apportionment, but this results from their loss of territory in the erection of Pender and Panlico counties. Wilkes, Rowan and Caswell each lose a member. Mecklenburg, North- hampton and Franklin gain members the latter county having received an accession of territory from Granville. Mecklenburg and Northampton have gained a member by their relatively great increase in population. It may be that the official -returns may altar these results, but we have used the figures furnished by the cen- sus supervisors. OT The one man in America who ha complete facilities for collecting na- tional statistics is Hon. A. R. Spof- ford, Librarian of Congress. All the data which he secures during the year is carefully retaincd and has been put into.a book. His last issue, “The American Treasury of Facts,” has been sent us by Messrs. H. H. Warner & GCo., proprietors of the famous Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and it is really a cyclopedia in itself. Iu this busy age one can grasp na- tional affairs only by statistical fig- ures, and the work under considera- tion reflects much credit on Messrs, Warner & Co., who have secured it. —_—_—+-<e__.- Abolishing the House of Lords.

The Cabarrus people | are predisposed to march onward in other enterprises than farminy. Hence this fine display of musical talent. We refer to the consolidation of five or six choirs from the various churches around, numbering in all about 175 students, all under the instruc- tion of Prof. Walter M. Kirk, a young gen- tleman of tine taste and muscial talent. The degree of perfection arrived at by these various choirs was peculiarly striking, when we consider the fact that they had not practiced together, and as we learned were : convened to assist in the closing exercises of a musical term at this place.

We speak in behalf of the laboring class, aud desire to see their rights vindi- eated, and that Justice be meted out to eyery man. All desire good roads, then let ali contribute ingorder to have them, “Let justice be done though the heaven's fall.” Let every male subject, old enough ‘to pay poll tax, who travels the public road irrespective of age, be taxed per eapi- ta, together with every vehicle and ani- mal used ov the road suilicient to keep the roads in good order; hence there would be better roads and more harmony among those who would keep them in re- pair. We simply submit the above for consideration, believing “it to a subject worthy the thought of the good people of our country, and wish only to put. the ball in motion with the hope that the can- didates of Rowan county for the next Leg- islature may think aud talk about it to the people as we believe they should.

The Peach (Amygdalas Persien) 4s one of the most agreeable sweétish-acid fruits of Asia. It grows best in China and Ja- Its cultivation in China goes back to the furthest antiquity. The Peach is the Tao mentioned in the beoks of Coufu- cias in the tenth century before Christ. It is no Jonger found wild, although forms ran wild are met with wherever the culti- vation of the peach has been carried on for any time, especially in the Caucasian country, in Terek, Persia, Southern Hi- alaya, China, &e. The native land is therefore, probably, to the northeast rath- er than the northwest of India, whence it exteuded first to Cashmere and to Buch- avia, and gradually to Persia, Asia Minor, &e. The absence of a Sanscrit name for this important frait shows that its trans- plantation from its native land took place before the migration of the Sanserits. At the time of Aristotle there were no juicy peaches raised in Greece as in Egypt, even upon the Island of Rhodes (to which point this tree probably first came, from Asia Minor), and) where it) produced .at that time only thowers and single seattered fruit. Henee, itis probable, that what pan. might be considered as different specics | of peach, are only varieties which allarese | in the course of cultivation. Among these belong the fruits with | naked and hairy skins (psilocarpz and | dasy earpae) with adherent and freestones, | (clingstones and free stones,) with white, ! with elongated, round, and compressed forius. The peach at the present day is distrib- i uted cverywhere, not only in the Old but in the New World.

English officer who commands the’ Moorish army, said recently: “If I were to publish half the things I have seen with my own eyes in this .extraordi- nary country I should be branded as liar forthe rest of my life.’ The Moors of Morocco are described by Captain Colville in his new book of travels there as barbarians, but their barbarism is concealed by a politeness “genuine and gentlemanlike.” Yet “the Kaid of Pacha, with whose polite manners and lavish hospitality one has been struck, may just have been watching a slave flogged to death or may at the very time he is talking to one be starving a man to death in an upper chamber, or planning. some new and horrible torture by which he may extract money from his subjects.” The Arab tortures men and animals most cruelly, “but always for a pur- pose.” The Space Required to Stop a Train. It is clear that the distance requir- ed to stop trains increases very rapid- ly with the increase of rates of speed and misapprehension on this vital point may become a fruitful source of destructive accideuts. In cxperi- ments made on July 14, in England the Westinghouse brake stopped a train moving at the rate of 41.5 miles an hour at a point enly 485 feet dis- tant from the place where the brake was applicd, but when the speed was increased to 61 miles per hour the distance run after the application of the brake was 1,185 feet, and when the speed of the train was increased to: 67'miles per hour the digtance traversed after the application of the brake was 2,053 feet. Similar results were obtained when other brakes were used. —__—— + > re Bologna. Bo-logn-ya is a walled city in Italy, yet it invented sausages.

Last week the Examiner published in its leading Bingham editorial, among other things, the following : |" “The primaries are a farce so fit a8 the people are concerned.” ‘Now that certainly is a fact--jyst book at the thing; the people were represen- ted by ‘H electoral votes, (on the first ballot) and they were not “¢ounted, The Examiner i is right—it wast afaree. —— “Again: “The peoplo speaking in their covert, sp ‘eapacity are’ to be ignored. Defeat awaits us. Who are to blame ?” | That’s strong language, but its so—the people spoke in their sovereign capacity and were ignored; for Mr. Bingham was nominated by the personal preference of the delegates, and not by the voice of the people. ‘‘Who are to blame” is quite a pertinent question, and the people will answer it; for they know full well that if the Salisbury 10 had stood to the in- structions given them at the ballot box all wonTd have been “well; and the | Joseph the Examiner calls for to explain, coald do a lively business right dmong | this model, immaculate 10.

Now again: “But certain men must be forced upon the people in obedience to the mandates of the ring. The people | must submit. Their expressed wishes are not to be regarded.” Yes, the ring! The Examiner's editor is a bold writer—fearing nothing when in the right. Heis right about the ring.

Aud know- ing wherof we speak, better thau those who have » assumed to adjudge y us, we will define our position hy § saying that it ‘ts not the man we oppose, but the prenciples as culminating in the means which have been used to pbtain Mr. Binghan’s feaudulent nottination, and upon whic?! he and his fr iends rely in their effort ¢o again force iim upon the suffrages of the people. Two years ago the peopte set their seal of eondeninanen! npon sch an act by a vote of 1573 for ‘Wagiouer to 854 for Bingham. And yet, ‘they are again called upon to accept 0 reject this same candidate, w ho is feataea them by the same Joud- crying, demoralizing ring of would- be of- fice makers, who aré making no’ votes for tlre party, but creating disaffection and what is our duty in the premises ? ‘Are we to pander to their coercive measures, or shall we condemn such measures by our ballots? But we leave this question to be answered on the 2d of November next, and_will turn to the main subject in hand—The Pgpular Yote.” Has yr: Bingham received a majority of the popular Democratic vote of Rowan county ? And if so, having failed to carry a majority of the Townships, is he eu- titled to the nomination for Sheriff ? The first of these propositions Wwe an- swer by assertiug that he and his friends have utterly failed to show that he bas received the eydorsement of a majority of ‘the Democratic voters of the county. Neither can. they make the people believe that 511 is a majority of th8 wifofe Dem- ocratic strergtii of the county, which is about 2300. And do they suppose tliat the honest, solid Democrats, who volun- tarily went to the polls on the 2lst of Au- gust, were so indifferent and unéoncerned as ret to be aware of what Was going on aronnd them? Did they not see that, by the use of every means possible, nearly the whole of Mr. Bingham’s strength was polled that day ? “But, oh, no, well—the other candid: ates hada aimee to do the | the sante ‘w: ay,® say they. The people! know these things; and they are tery apt to let the Bingham votaries keow that they | are not such credrlous idiots as to allow themselves to be hoodwinked or blutted by the ériés of “disorganizers,” “enmity to Democratic principles,” &c., which is hurled at them by the Bingham party. But we mean to deal justly, and con- cede to Mr. Bingham the five townships he carried at the recent primaries, which gave him 23 electoral votes, representjrg about 920 of the actual popular Demo- the county. These he is justly entitled to, and no more. On the other hand, it is read#ly seen that the six townships carried by Mr. Waggoner gave him 33 electoral votes, representing about 1320 of the popular Democratic vote. Now then, acéording to the rules laid down for the pernanenit organization of the party in this county; who hasa majority of the popular vote? The man Ww ho went Into the connty convention with 33 electoral votes, representing 1320 | dissimulation masked © in pfetentious methods, sueaks, floundering froin the | slough of self- abasement, and time-serv- crs struggling to assume the garb of | principle.” That kind of | pursuasive lan- guage'is calculated to change the W ag- Boner men and make them vote for Bing- ham! Now again, this is good: “What do you think of it fellow citizens of Rowan? hall the convention to-day disregard your expressed will? Shafla ring dic- fate your choice? If they'do, you have he remedy iu your hands, and it devolves | tpon yon as indepénfeht ¢itizens and | right thinking men, tb set tlle seat of condemnatioh upon this wicked attempt to force tipon you the acceptance of | this disgraceful alternative, the ze 8 choice or radical rule.” The Examiner is emphatically right. “Shall a ring dictate your choice?” why certainly not! Now mark you, he tells us what todo: “If they do, you have the temedy in your hands, and it desolies upon you as”—what! just listen !—“1N- DEPEDENT citizens, &c., to set the seal of your condemnation upon this Ww icked attempt to force upon you the acceptance of this disgraceful alternative, the ring’ 3 choice or radical rile.” That is exactly what *d arb doing, and as independent citizens, with thjs duty devolving upon us, we shall endeavor to perform it. The Examiner i 18 right, ana we will do what it gays. Another good point whic h the Examiner did not touch is this ‘Salisbury 10.” Sup pose they had done their duty—had truly-represented the expressed will of Salisbury township, would any of this trouble have existed q Certainly not! What made these delegates? The people's votes ? Yes. Did the people elect them to vote their individual sentiments, or did they say how these delegates should vote? Yes, the people said how, and for whom, the vote should be cast, Did the Salisbury 10 do as the people bade them ? o! Then did not theira ageucy for the peo- ble cease? It did; for they were put there for an expressed Purpose; and they liad no legal or moral right to do otherwise than as directed by the people. ‘The explaining Joseph gets right into business when he strikes tlie Salisbury 10. ee Senator Thurman is confident Hancock will carry Ohio, ’ ~Mr. Bayard © said 4t Colombia, that Haneock’s edte i in 1880 would be tive illions,—beyond the reach or the dis- |23, representing only 9202 We think the | tion of atl other conventions as prece- | of the popular vote, or the candidate with | People understand this part of the sub- jject, therefore, we think it uunecessary to say more on this point.

As a kind of side issue; te will in con- clusion note certain irregularities at some of the ballot boxes, in the primary meget- ings, which tend to diminish the supposed valué of tie “popular vote” so much re- lied’on, to wit: At the Atwell box, the tickets on which were awarded delegate to the county convention bore the names of no delegates af all.

At last reports the Legislature stands, 19 Republicans aif ¥2 Fusionists in the Senate, and 86 Republicans to 65 Fusionists jy the House.

We recommend it because: It is rich in Soluble Phosphate and Ammonia. It affords 4 constant supply of plant food, It contains no inert matter. It insures a stand of grass or clover. It is an uo and renovator of worn ont lands, It is fine, ¢ ry, and in the best condition for drilling.

It is prepared from the best and most approved materials, inthe mest careful and thorough manner, and under our personal supervision. Its standard and uniformity are guaranteed. Whatever may be the merits of ‘other fertilizers, no one can go wrong ih tsing one which is so well made, is so fully guaranteed, and has been so long and sd thoroughly tested. tot +4 APPLICATION. We recommend (thé application of from LOO to BOO pounds per acre—dril/ed in with the wheat if practicable. If the drill is not used, the land should be ploughed and harrowed until fine and free from clods, and the wheat and guano harrowod in, following with the roller. This mixes the manure with the soil, and keeps it near the surface just where the roots of the wheat till find it easiest. When sowed on land ploughed but not harrowed, much of the guano goes down in the opening between the furrow slices, a does hte or no good.

Sept. 3rd, 1880. Editer Watchman: There was quite a large assemblage of regular Jetf-isonian, staureh tried aud true Democrats that gathered at the vot- ing precinet of E} Dorado township to day for the very laudable purpose of eleet- jug a township Executive Committee, naming five conservatives to represent the township in the County Convention to be held Toy uext Menday, and electing tive persons to the Mt.

In the west of England and Scotland the tur- nip crop is splendid, but atl along the east- ern coast it isa finlure. In coming from Newark to this place the country is rolling and a great deal of it in pasture, grazed by young or fattening cattle and sheep. We passed through four tunnels and from some portions of the road had fine views of beau- tiful spreading vallics away in the distance. Much of England consists of very extensive plains of rich land threugh which flow sluggish streams and net works of canals, which in former days was their general mode of carrying heavy freight.

There is no party seeking secession; there is no party desiring secession or declaring that it is a correct principle ura tenable doc- trine under our constitution. But there is a party desiring consolidation; seeking consolidation, urging it as a vital princi- ple, and as a neccessity under the cireum- stances that surround us. Such is not on- ly their doctrine, but their public acts tend to the accomplishment of the result. No one doubts the meaning of the consti- tution and the laws of Congress passed pursuant thereto are the supreme law of the land. That.is too plain for contradic- tion. The plain meaning of the words carries with it the interpretation. Acts of Congress are the law of the laud, if Unconstitutional they are mere nullities. It has so happened that the Republican party, being iv control of Congress, has, since the war, passed many acts tending towards centralization, some of wlrich have been brought to the test before the Supreme Court, and have been decided by that body, composed largely of Repub- licans, as void, because unconstitutional. What acts passed by a Democratic Con- gress have ever been declared unconstitu- tional? We do not reeall a single decis- j cratic Congress. Itis only the acts of ° ; ‘ Republican Congresses thdt have been } pronounced, even by Republican judges, as revolutionary—that is, as making changes in the law not provided for by the existing law itself. All of these acts so declared void had fer their object to bring about a consolidated government—- to make as a nation instead of a federal all rights not delegated remain with the people or the States respectively; the Re- publicans, in the interest of a national centralized government, would render that amendment to the constitution meaning- less, aud they act on the idea that the Federal goverument posses-es all powers not specifically denied to it. They would obliterate State lines and treat the States as mere counties. They claim the right, and have exercised the power of sending troops to supervise the elections held in the States, of appointing marshals and supervisors of elections, of protecting cit- izens in their right of sutfiage, of inter- fering with the domestic concerns of the residents of the States, with our publie schools, our churches, taverns, railroads and steamboats. This is the utmost lati- tude to which consolidation can well be carried. There is only one step beyond and that is to invest the Presidency with the insignia of royalty. That, to be sure, will not be attempted, no matter how much it may be desired. The practical question is, shall we have the Union or our fathers, or a centralized national goy- ernment ?— Ral.

Prof. J. R. Blake, of Davidson Col- lege, returned yesterday from the meeting of the Scient) ific Association in Boston. He was delighted with his trip and with the meeting. It was pronounced the most satisfactory and interesting the association has ever had since its organizaiion twenty years ago. He was «lisposed to agree with Dickens and other Englishmen who have visited this country, that Boston people are masters of the art of enter- taining ; by the way, not an insignifi- cant one. The special features, he told the Observer reporter, were the practical illustrations of the work- ings of the two new inventions—the | photophone, by Bell, the inventor of the Bell Tclephone, in use in this city, and the topophone by Prof. Meyer. The former is the convey- ance of sound by light and depends upon a quality possessed by several substances—by sienium in a greater degree than any other—of being af- fected as to the quantity of electricity in them by the intensity of the light to which they aresubjected. A ray of light, concentrated by a prism and brought to a focus by a concaye re- flector, takes the place of the wire in the telephone. The inventor has not yet brought his instrument to per- fection, but Prof. Blake distinctly heard him talk at a distance of hundred yards. The invention is re- garded by scientific men as more wonderful than that of the telephone for the reason that it was never known before that light could be used as a conductor of sound, while it has been known for years that solid substances possessed that quality toa more or less degree. Prof. Meyer’s Topophone is to be used for locating sounds, and _ is de- signed for use on the sea in ascertain- ing the direction whence proceeds fog signals. It is a very simple instru- ment, though the inventor has not yet perfected it. The association were winced and dined by Prof. Bell, the officers of Cambridge and others and were gen- erally lionized in scientific Boston. _———~-_____ one Howling Infidels.

HoRNELLSVILLE, Sept. 4.—To- morrow evening the most important Free Thought convention ever held in this conntry will close a five days’ session. The average attendance has been about 1,000, and nearly every Northern State has been represented, and there are representatives here from Virginia and also from Canada. The Orthodox have been compelled to admit that there is a great amount of talent represented here, gerappeared here on ‘hursday, and and claimed to be a christian ev ange- list from New York City and desired to obtain a hearing. He was granted one for this morning at 10 o’clock. At that hour the opera house was packed, and for the first time the Christians of Hornellsville attended, but great was the surprise of all to learn that the reverend gentleman was @ Catholic evangelist. He gave a very fair and interesting address more severe against the Protestants than the Freethinkers, and some of his sharp thrusts brought down the house. *Parker Pillsbury had been selected to answer him, and he dissected Catho- licism and Protestantism in his char- acteristic Said a leading business man, who had never been suspected of infidelity: “There was more food for thought in Pillsbury’s lecture than in all the sermons that have~beeh preached in town for the last ten years,” George Cheney, of Evansville, Ind., wh&-e-few months since, renonticed Christianity, has been one’of the lead- ing Spirits of the convention, Mrs. Amelia Colby, of St Louis, is proagunced by all who have heard her fo be the ablest female speaker ou the continent.

Gen. Scales very modestly and touchingly alluded to the feet that in one of his limbs he had received a wound, and very often now he was compelled tu go along limping because of the wound. He received the wound at the battle of Gettysburg and from one of Gen, Hancock’s corps. But now “I shall become perfectly recon- ciled to that wound, if Hancock is placed in the Presidential chair.” He went on to state that his own election to Congress was as dust in the bal- ayee when compared with the election of a President ; and that the election of Hancock would give to the several States their constitutional rights, and that the State and national govern- ments would be aids to each other. instgad., of one attempting toorush the other.

And it is all because Mr. Hendricks accepted their chalenge, and made good bis declaration that Garfield bad manipulated the returas of West Feleiana fraud of four vears ago, Inthe Louisiana When Mr. Hendricks made the assertion a fort- night since, Gatfiel’s friends were very indignant, and they poodely Cate ged him te make yout lis J woos, -aving “Sp that eonld) be gual ~ Ge iate Gea Gariclt would be ’ re fa Gate Hend- speeci, ad tuercupou meas dhewvered aa eraborate weelresstae bingsesf chiefly to the Points tive ved vu toe enallenge, lle took cis (aucheid’s own sworn state- ment oelore a « ongressional comupit- tee, aud) proved trom the mouth of the in New Or- count tie Ropabiican candidate for Presidency that he was leans daring the ftraudalent eighteen days, ocenpying an inner room in the custom louse, a private retreat, where he lad copies of all the | oficial papers which were delivered to the returning board bearing upon And there, shut out from the light of day the election in West Feliciana. he examined these papers, and had the witnesses before him,and examined one, and when their them one by testimony was not to lis liking, he prepared written questions to be asked them.

This is the testimony of Amy Mitchell, from which it appears that Garfield got her, as he got the other witnesses in his dark inner chamber, It ap- pears that her testi nony was not en- and “cooked” her testimony, tirely satisfactory and he talked with her, and*tinding hera oonvenient witness, he wrote out questions whieh in a certain way, favorable to the Republicans, When she appeared before the board, she was told to answer however, she stuck to her first story and went back on Gen. Garfield and letthe cat out of the bag. She was vily one out of many. This is the plain, unvarnished tale told under oath, and Mr. Hendricks, in response to the challenge, his aired it and dwelt on it, and has clearly demon- strated that Gen. Carfield responsible for the Louisiana outrage was more than any other of the “visiting states- = D> men.” He has proved conclusively these allegations, which, being true, in the language of Gartield’s friends, And therefore we say that these friends of makes him a disgraced man. his are not at all in love with the man who was elected to the Vice-Presi- dency in 1876. the idea of having these charges so They do not relish damaging tothe character of their the campaign, But they cannot avoid it.

Lhe Lords of the Mills Cvoercing Employes while Politicians Bought Hvery Purchasab:e Vote. The Democratic national committee re- ceived from a member of the Vermont Dem- ocratic State committee, yesterday, the fol- lowing telegram : 5 WuitrEe River Junction, Vt., Sept. 9. m. H. Barnum,Chairman Democratic Na- tional Cummuttee : Gartield has had his dress parade in Ver- mont and the Kepublicans have labored with the energy of despair to appear strong- er than ever. Money has flowed like water, and all that it could reach were bought. The Republicans controlled the poll, and unnaturalized Canadians and men who had left the State months and even years ago, brought back for the purpose, voted the Republican ticket. The coercion of empioy- ess has been tearful. The issue was square- ly presented: “Vote our ticket or leave our employ.” Thousands of laborers were thus compelled to vote the Republican ticket. Towns nestled in the hills show Democratic gains, but these are neutralized by losses in adjoining towns controlled by factory lords. The Democrais have made a gallant fight and although the vote in the State is 5,000 larger than in 1876, the Republicans do but little more, with all their desperate resorts, than hold their own. 207 towns give for Governor: Farnham, Republican, 44,419; Phelps,Dem. 19,851; scattering, 1,480. Rep. majority, 23,088. The same towns gave in 1876: Fairbanks, Republican, 41,891; Bing- ham, Dem., 19,602; scattering, 71. Rep. majority, 22,217; Republican net gain, 471. Thirty-one towns to be heard from gave 1,301 Republican majority in 1876. The Republican mejority in the whole State is about 24,500, being a net gain of less than 1,000. The Democrats of Vermont hope that the election of General Hancock, brinz ing peace to every part of our country, will be the dawn of a better day, when white as well as colored men can yote as freemen and not as slaves. a Our vajued friend Col. Cameron, Editor of the Durham Recorder, says: “It is im- possible, it seems, for North Carolina to have a railroad of her own, that is, one that is to benefit her towns and ports exclusive- ly. The State has gotten used to the tap- ping process which emptied her weaith on one side from Chariotte xn o Charleston by the South Carolina railroad; by a like pro- cess which fed Norfolk by the Seaboard line and Petersburg by the Petersburg and Weldon Road; finally by the Piedmont Road which struck the North Carolina Road amidship, and turned the stream into Rich- mond, All this had been accepted asa matter of fact, inevitable, and no longer to be grumbled at. But new lines were project- ed lying altogether within the State, and whose course of trade seemed to admit of no diversion. The Carolina Central, ex- tending from Wilmington to the foot ofthe mountains was believed to be free 1.om at- tack, and destincd to remain a North Caro- lina Road. Vain delusion! Charleston has tapped it at Wadesboro, and Wilmington bleeds again. A last hope for an exclusive North Carolina Road was the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Road, from Fayetteville to the splendid Valley of the Yadkin. No sooner is that in a fair way of completion than that too is struck on the flank. The wise and energetic people of Danville, look- ing to their own interests, already project a road from their city to the Yadkin Valley Road, connecting, with it with a view cf drawing on the traffic it will open up, and rely upon obtaining a favorable charter from the next North Carolina Legislature.” <a How To Keep’a SiruaTton.—Be ready to throw in an odd half-hour or an hour's time when it will be an accommodation, and don’t seem to make a merrit of it. Do it heartily. Though not a word be said, your employer will make a note of it. " Make yourself indispensable to him, and he will lose many of the opposite kind before he will part with you. Those young men who watch the clock to see the very second their working hour is up—who leave, no matter what state their work may be in, at precise- lv the instant—who calculate the exact amount they can slight their work, and yet not get reproved— who are lavish of their _employer’s goods—will always be the first " to receive the notice, when times are dull, ‘In view of the whole situation, involv- ing sentiment, duty, sound policy and und the future, I regard the nomination ot General Hancock asa most fortunate and provideutial event. He is endeared to the North and commended to its full- est contidence by the purity and firmness of his personal character aud by the ser- Vices he renderd in defence of the Union. He has the confidence of the South as an honorable and gallant soldier representing that feeling iu the North which would respect the just rights of all and make the Nation solid in peace and unity instead of the sections in discord and hate. After what has transpired daring the war and since, Iam convinced that uo Republican President could now re- store the country to a normal condition of peace and order and I am as fully con- vineed that the election of General Han- cock would bring that result. The North- ern people would naturally be prompt to aid and sustain him in all measures adapted to such a purpose and the South- ern people would of ecessits as well as disposition beartily and earnestly extend their full co-operation and support. On the other Land, the election of a President by a sectional vote is to pro- long and intensify existing evils and dan- gers and to shrould in darkness the pre- sect and the future, involving white and black, rich and poor in a common calami- ty. These, my friend, are the candid views formed from close observation and sober reHection under circumstances that have given me the best opportunity to observe and consider. In the approaching Presi- dential election the success of one party is to restore trustful contidence aud mutual kindness between the sections and thus to make the Union solid, I hope, for all time. The success of the other is to put the sections in solid array with no reas- onable assurance that the same thing is not to be repeated as long as the party in power can induce the Northern people to prolong sectional rancor and malevolence aud tu treat ten millions of the American people as conquered enemies instead of fellow citizens iu the common brother- hood of the Union.” Yours respectfully aud truly your friend, JOHN POOL. a The New Orleans papers recall the fact that during the period when the Louis- iana fraud was in contemplation there was a conference between the members of the returning board and certain Repub- lican) manipulators, and a result was reached as to what parishes were te be thrown out. This statement was sub- mitted to the visiting statesmen. This was before any testimony whatever had been examined or any vote bad been thrown out. The details of the conspira- cy was telegraphed to the Philadelphia Times by Mr. M. P. Handy, who designa- ted the parishes intended to be thrown out. Itis further said that the Demo- cratic committee had full information of the whole scheme, and that it was pub- lished at the time. It was carried out faithfully by the couspirators. Garfield, it appears, took his part and played it to a letter.—Ral. Naws and Observer. — <a Sherman has been defending Garfield from Hendrick’s charges. He would doubtless have Eliza Pinkston on the campaign also doing daty for the party but that she is unfortunately in jail charged with murdering another husband. By the way, the question is pertinently asked, who is going to defend Sherman? —Ral. News and Observer OO CHINESE TREATMENT OF ANIMAL&.—They never punish; hence a mule that, in the hands of a foreigner, would be not only use- less, but dangereous to every one about it, becomes, in the possession of a Chinaman, as quiet as a lamb and as tractable as 4 dog. We never beheld a runaway, a jibing ora vicious mule or pony in a Chinaman’s em- ployment; but found the same rattling, cheerful pace maintained over heavy or light roads by means of tur-r or cluck—-k, the beast turning to the right or left, and stopping with but a hint from the reins. This treat- ment is extended to all the animals they press into their service. Often have I ad- mired the tact exhibited in getting a large drove of sheep through marrow, crowded streets, and always by merely having alittle boy to lead one of the quietest of the flock in front ; the others steadily followed, with- out the aid either from a yelping cur ora _ thet their services are no longer required, | gruel goad.—Tracelsin Manchu Tartary. MISCELLANEOUS. Married and in Love, Le A Newport correspondent says the ‘Tecent marriage of Miss Bessie Liv- |ingston, of New York, to George Cavendish Bentinck, a young Eng. i lishinan, son of a member of Parlia- ‘ment from Whitehaven, cousin of the present duke of Portlanf, is still talk- ed of among the cotagers. “It is not wise, generally, for American women to accept European husbands—even | Englishmen, but this union a rs He close# his let- | si to have been wholly desirable. She is reputed to be a very sweet and in- teresting girl, of ample fortune, and he to be a modest sensible, manly, well-bred fellow, and well provided for financially. What is more, the marriage was one of mutual inclina- tion and sympathy, not of arrange- ment or mere pecuniary advantage, I heard a middle-aged woman of so- ciety say; “Oh, it is perfectly delici- ous to see how very, very fond these two children are of each other. They spoon like rustics. I actually found them kissing one another behind the library door at eleven o’clock in the morning—charming Arcadians that they are.” That they are spoony seems to be the general report. No wonder it creates a commotion. No two persons have been married here in what is spoken of as high life, and been suspected of being desperately in love with each other, for the last ten years. Newporters are not ad- dicted to such connubial folly ; and Bessie and George can be excused on- ly on the ground that she is bearly twenty and he twenty-six. Actually in love with one another, and married, too! How perfectly ridiculous. —___-a-___ The amount of new cotton coming into market at this advanced stage of the season is unprecedented in the history of the staple. ‘Thousands of bales are pouring into the more south- ern towns, while here, where the sea- son is herdly begun, we received on yesterday more than five hundred bales. The result is undoubtedly due in part to the peculiar weather, but itisalsolargely owing to the use of fer- tilizers, which hastens the growth and the maturing of the boll. Whatever tends to prolong the picking season adds to the improve- ment and value of the crop. And so it appears that fertilizers and ther- ough cultivation not only increase the product, but also hasten its de- velopment, and allow the planters to realize earlier than formerly.— Observer. oe Periodically Dumb, Topeka (Kansas) Post A strange phenomenun, and one which deserves the investigation of scie itistsis at present on view at Park- herst & Davis’s grocery store. It is a colorad man who becomes periodical- ly dumb. His name is Isdiah McClea ry and he came from North Carolina about three years ago. He is strong and healthy, attending constantly to his duties at the store, but has been attacked in the manner described at short intervals for seven years past. His present attack came upon him the 8th of this month and he is firm in the belief that at the expiration of thirty days his toungue will be loos- ened and he will be able to talk again as well as ever. May last he was similarly attacked, and did not utter a word for one month, when speech returned to him as suddenly as it had left him. His hearing is intensely acute, and all his other faculties are perfect, but he cannot speak a word, and is obliged to make himself under- stood by writing, of which art he is a master. There is no appearance of religious superstitious fanaticism about him, and he does not pretend to ac- count for his condition in any way. He simply states the facts, which are corroborated by his six children, and leaves the sulution of the problem to his interrogators, He is 46 years of age, and is intelligent and industrious having made a home for himself since he came to Kansas. A humbug you bet. ———— Bic Meat.—We saw at Mr. J. D. Meo- Neely’s four sides that weighed £00 lbe, HO 49 Tue SMALL ARTs oF Lrvrxe.—Hardly anything is too small to spoil the comfort of life if it be m’s) laced. A spec in the eye, s kernel of wheat in the boot, a pin pvint touching the skin, a band too tight ora needed strap gone—and good-by comfort t Considering how much depends on Our daily food, it is surprising how little is thought of the conditions under which it is taken in many families. Some people think a good deal more ot what is on the tablethan what is said or done around it; and some few, perhaps, reverse the order—an operation that may do very well for special occasions, when what is said is something extraordi- nary; but one that we beg to be excused from “as regular dict,” evenif the gods came to dine, until we are able to dispense with all that isimplied in a good appetite. The cookery is too big a topic to tonch in this sonnection; though what with cookery schools, a better knowledge among the peo- ple, and higher standards made familiar by our best hotels and dinning places, the art has greatly advanced in this country within the present generation. Good bread, a prop- erly broiled eteak, and a roast done to a turn, no longer excite the special wonder that once they did. By-and-by perhaps it will not be unusual to find a good soup or vegetables that haven't been spoiled by cooking. But consider the meal cooked; how shall it be best enjoyed? By having it daintily and tastefully arranged and served, in the first place. We always mark the good house- wife up a notch or two in our &teem if we sce that, however competent help she may have, she always slips out to give the “last touches” to the table before the family or the guests sit down. Some do it for the guests but not for the family, but that is an error. The artistic arrangement of the table furniture; the skill that avoids crowding dishes together, or leaving spaces too bare; the forethought that looks out for flowers for the dinner-table, though the center table go bare; the quick eye which sees that everything is in its place, these supplement the fare wonderfully. Promptness in each member of the family is another essential. It demoralizes the group to have stragglers dropping in all the way through the meal, and gives a restaurant air—a suggestion of mere “feeding” —to the family meal, which it should never have. Speak Up YounG Man.—Young man, when you see anything you want, ask for itlikea man. If you want to borrow five dollars of a man, or if you only want to marry his daughter, don’t stide up to him and hang on to your hat and talk politics and religion and weather, and tell old, stale jokes whereof you can’t remember the point, until you wory the old man into @ nervous irritation. Go at him witha full head of steam on and with your bow ports open, like an 1ron-clad pulling fora shore battery. Snort and paw and shake your head if you feel like it, no matter if it does make him look astonished. Bet- ter astonish him than bore him. Go into his heart or his pocket, or both (it amounts to the same thiug,) like a brio- dle bull with acurl in his forehead charg- ing a red merino dress, eyes on fire, tail up, and the dusta flying. Then you'll fetch him. Or possibly he may fetch you. But never mind; you'll accomplish some- thing and show you aren't afraid to speak what's on your mind. And that’s a great deal more than you would accomplish by the other method. You needn’t be cheeky, but you ought to be straighforward. —_————___— A VaLvcaBLe Secret.—It is related of Franklin that from the window of his office in Philadelphia he noticed a mechanic, among a number of others, at work ona house which was being erected close by, who always appeared to bein a merry humor,and who had akind and cheerful sinile for every one he met. Let the day be ever so cold gloomy ox sunless, the smile danced like a sunbeam on hischeerful countenance. Meet- ing him one day, Franklin requested to know the secret of his constant, happy fow of spirits. “Its no secret, Doctor,” the man replied, “I’ve got ove of the best of wives, and whenI go to work she always gives mea kind word of encouragement and a blessing with her parting kiss; and when I go home she is sure to meet me with a smile and a kiss of welcome, and then the tea is sure to be ready, and as we chat in the even- ing, I find that she has been doing se many little things through the day to please me, that I cannnot find it in my heart to speak an unkind word, or give on unkind look to anybody.” And Franklin adds: “What au influence, then, bath woman over the heart of man, to soften it, and make it the fountain of cheerful and pure emotions. Speak gently then; a bappy smile and a kind word of greeting after the toils of the day are over, cost nothing, and go far to- ward making a home happy and pesceful,” —WN. C. Presbyterian. —-_>- —— SLticut Mistaxe.—He had not seen his triend for some years. The other day he met him coming up Galveston avenue, with his wife on his arm, accompanied by a little boy, and said: “I would have known you anywhere by that boy. He has gof your mouth and chin, but his nose, eyes and fore- head are precisely like his mother’s. I nev- er saw such a perfect resemblance.” The boy was an adopted one. aa Weare informed that three Geeths ‘eve occurred in one family from dipterys | Thie meat was raied in North Carolia. }Ugity township. x " 7 . si = 5 = z y, . . a 4 oe and o¥ 5 : ’ - ~ one aide ss " ‘dat + 4 so teri te py tn ae ED al ie Pf é St ig Mi EP Gh Ota a oe TOE 2 Si rene eee, Bi a eR il at hii So aig oa SS gg bt a i ne nett ts a — — cet —_—__—__.—_—_—- SS , iIROWA N UNT 7 | Horse” escorted ae Presidential pitty as yas.

I did not know he was short. I made a statement to hin: showing the transaction and what there was due on it; that deducting the bond dividend and the cash dividend, there was $329 due him, for which I had given nim a check; that he had never asked me to lend him any money, and I never loaned him any. I told him he knew very well that that was a dividend. I made out a statement and showed it to him at thetime. In one con- versation he adinitted it, and said, as near as I can remember, that there was $2,400 due him in stock and bonds. He madea little memorandum of $1,000 and $1,400, an‘l, as I recollect, said there was $1,000 of Union Pacific Railroad stock, $1,000 of Credit Mobilier stock, and $400 of stock or bonds, I do not recollect what. My impression zs that he wanted to say as litle about it as he could, and to get of as easily as he could, That was al) ut the conversation 1 had with him—about the long and short of it. (J. Have you the memorandum Mr. Garficll made? A. I have the tigures that he made. Paper shown to the Committee containing figures as follows: $1,000 $1,400 $2,400 Q.

A. $1,000 Union Pacific Railroad stock, $1,000 Credit Mobilier stock, and $400 which he could not remember whether it was to be in cash or stocks or bonds. Garfield swore before the Committee that he simply borrowed $300 from Ames, and afterward repaid him the money, The Committee did not believe him, and did believe Oakes Ames; and its report to the Forty-second Congress contains the following: “¢ The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield, as found by the Com- mittee, are identical with the case of Mr, Kelley to the point of the reception of the check of $329. He agreed with Mr. Ames totake ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr. Ames received the 80 per cent. dividend bonds and sold them forg7 per cent., and also received the 60 per cent. cash dividend, which, together, paid the price of the stock and interest and left a balance of $329. This sum was paid over to Mr. Garfield by a check on the Sergeant-at-Aims, and Mr, Garfield then under- stood this sum was the balance of dividends after paying for the tock. Mr. Ames received all the subsequent dividends; and the Committee do not tind that, since the payment of the £329, there has been any communication between Mr. Ames and Mr. Gar- tield on the subject until the investigation began.” He voted for the railroad charter, received the procéeds of the stock, tried to treat the ‘transaction as a loan, swore that he received no dividend, and his judges, the Committee, disbe- lieved him, (New York Times, February rgth, 1873.) Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a most distressing figure. Their participation in the Credit Mobilier affair is complicated by the most unfortunate contradictions of testimony. (New York Tribune, February agth, 1873.) James A. Garfield, of Oh er a received $329, which, after theimvestigation began, he was anxious | against It. tv have considered as a lvan from Mr. Oakes Ames to himself. $1,376 oo} Well, the wickedness of all of it is that these men betrayed the trust of the people, d-ceived their constituents, and, by evasions and falsehoods, confessed the transactions to be disgraceful. DE GOLYER. De Golyer & Cor pany were parties who had a patent pavement which they wanted the Board of Public Works of Washington and Congress to buy and lay down. Sheppard was then in control }on Appropriations in the House of Representatives. In order to obtain the contract they had to pass through both these bodies. | The subject was investigated before a Committee of Congress, and jit fully appeared, by the testimony of Garfield and others, that the lon the subject of the patent pavement, but that he did speak to Gov. Sheppard once on the subject. The contract was given to De Golyer & Company. It cost the Government about $1,200,000. The profits to the contractors were about $400,000. It could not have gotten through the Committee on Appropriations without the influence of the Chairman. Garfield was the man to reach. [lis opinion, except to speak to Sheppard. cheat and a swindle. The question came up in court in Chicago as Chittenden, the man who secured Garfield through Parsons, brought suit against} De Golyer and M’Clelland for this service after they had secured | their money on the paving contracts. His claim was that he had secured Garfield, not as a lawyer, but on the distinct ground that he was Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. The plea lof the defendants was that this was a claim for lobby services that the court could not recognize, ecause to do so would be against public policy, and their cuunsel quoted the opinion of Justice Swayne in a much weaker case than this of Garfield. The plea was sustained by Judge Farwell, of the Circuit Court of the United States in Chicago, and the case there ended with the defeat of the plaintiff. : The evidence was overwhelming, not only that the pavement was worthless and over-charged, but that the contract had been ob- tained through the influence of J. A. Gartield, member of Con- gress, and Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, through which committee the bill for that and all other District expenses would have to pass, and Richard C. Parsons, Garfield’s friend and United States Marshal for the District. The pernicious effects of these official influences were so apparent, and presented a case so analagous to that of Trist zs. Chiid, passed on by Justice Swayne in the United States Su, reme Court, that Judge Farwell took the ident cal ground, and even employed the same language which had veen so happily suggested by Judge Swayne: “‘The agreement with General Garfield, a member of Congress, to pay him $5000 as a contingent fee for procuring a contract which was itself made to depend upon a future appropriation by Congress—which appropriation could only come from a com- mittee of which be was chairman—was a sale of official influence which no veil can cover, as against the plainest principles of public policy.” The report of the committee and the testimony annexed are conclusive proofs of the facts here stated. HIS OPPOSITION TO FOREIGNERS. On the 8th of March, 1867, at the first session of the Fortieth Congress, Mr. Fernando Wood asked unanimous consent to offer the following resolution: Resolved, That this Ifouse extends its sympathy to the people of Ireland in their pending struggle for constitutional liberty. If the despotic governments of Europe shall be allowed to establish monarchial institutions in America, so should the United States foster and promote the extention of republican institutions in Europe. Mr. Broomall (Rep.) objected. The motion was then to sus- pend the rules to enable the resolution to pass. The question was taken, and there were 104 yeas and 14 nays. Thirteen of those who voted nay were Republicans, and James A. Garfield was one. Perhaps this affords a reason why Irishmen should rally to the sup- port of Garfield. In the Congressional Globe, April 17, 1871, First Session, part 2, page 735, will be found the following: Mr. Kinsella. I move a suspension of the rules and the adop tion of the following resolution, which I send to the desk: Whereas, The prolonged incarceration in the prisons of the Dominion of Canada of persons accused of violating the neuti ality laws is a source of irritation to a large number of American citi- zens; therefore, : Resolved, That the President of the United States is respectfully requested to have the, case of such’ persons presented before such Joint Ligh Commission, to the end that their release may be effected. ae James A. Garfield objected, and voted against the passage of the strictly just resolution, shéwing thereby his hatred not alone of the unfortunate Fenian prisoners referred to in the resolution, who were then confined in Canadian dungeons for more than five years, but of the whole Celtic race. VOTES TO TAX TEA, COFFEE, SALT, AND PRINTING PAPER. The pavement was a io, had ten shares; mever paid a dollar; | under a suspension of the rules. As early as February 12, 1872, Mr. Mercur, of Pennsylvania, | moved a resolution directing the Committee of Ways and Means /.o report a bill repealing the import duties on tea and coffee.

This was adopted also Mr. Garfield is again recorded [Ibid. page 1118.] On the same day a resolution vas offered directing. the Ways!

Mr. Gar- field seems to have dodged this vote, for just before the vote was taken he is recorded on a civil rights bill, and just after it on the tea and coffee bill. [Ibid.] The following is from the Congressional Record of April 6, ’80: Mr. Townshend, of IJlinois. 1 move to suspend the rulcs so that the Committee on Ways and Means be discharged from the furti.e: eration of House bill No. 5265, and that the same be now passed: The bill was read as follows: “That sections 2503, 2504, and 2505 of Title 33 of the Reviscd Statutes of the United States be revised and amended so that the duty on salt, printing type, printing paper, and the chemicals and /materials used in the manufacture of printing paper, be repealed, and that said articles be placed on the free list.” Mr. Townshend, of Illinois. I call for the yeas and nays on agreeing to the motion to suspend the rules. The yeas and nays were ordered. The question was taken, and there were—yeas 112, nays 80, not voting 100. So (two-thirds not voting in favor thereof) the motion to suspend the rules was not agreed to. Mr. Garfield voted against the motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill to relieve printing paper, and type, and salt from tax. SALARY GRAB. He voted for the salary grab and took the money, RAILROAD SUBSIDIES. He voted to giant millions of acres of public lands to R. R. corporations, and against securing the rights of actual settlers on the same. May, 1870. SWINDLES OF THE NEGRO. He voted against instructing to investigate and try those con- cerned in the defalcations of the Freedman’s Bureau. CHINESE IMMIGRATION. He voted against the bill to restrict it. DENOUNCED BY MIS REPUBLICAN CON- STITUENTS. September 7, 1876, Republicans of his Congressional District adopted the following: Resolved, ‘That we further arraign and denounce him for his corrupt connection with the Credit Mobilier, for his false denials thereof before his constituents, for his perjured denial thereof be- fore a committee of his peers in Congress, for fraud upon his con- stituents in circulating among them a pamphlet purporting to set forth the finding of said committee and the evidence against him, when in fact material portions thereof were omitted and garbled. Resolved, That we further arraign and charge him with cor- rupt bribery in selling his official influence as chairman of the Committee on Appropriations for $5,0co to the DeGolyer pave- ment ring to aid them in securing a contract from the Board of Public Works of the District of Colum!ia; selling his influence to aid said ring in imposing upon the people of said District a pave- ment which is almost worthless at a price three times its cust, as sworn to by one of the contractors; selling his influence to aid said ring in procuring a contract, to procure which it corruptly paid $97,000 “for influence;” selling his intluence in a matter that in- volved no question of law, upon the shallow pretext that he was acting as a lawyer; selling his influence in a manner so palpable and clear as to be so found and declared by an impartial and com- petent court upon an issue solemnly tried In their address Sept. 10, 1876, they sa;: The Republican party has done much: to purify itself within itself, Its Whiskey Ring Revenue officers are convicted and im prisoned, Belknap is deposed and impeached and only escaped conviction by a technicality. Its Salary Stcaling, Credit Mobilier, Pavement Jobbing Congressmen are mostly retired. James A. Garfield remains. Richard C. Parsons, his compeer as a great patent pavement lawyer, nom nated without opposition ina district Republican last year by 6,500 majority, was buried at the polls by Henry B. Payne, a Democrat, by 2,500 majority. The office- holders nominated him, but the brave, honest people rebuked him. James A. Garfield fell from 10,935 majority in 1872 to 2,526 majority in 1874. Oh, what a fall there was, my countrymen.” Rebuked, shorn of character for truth and integrity, all that is noble in manhood, almust defeated, he stands a sad and blackened monumient of avarice and greed.

Customs for the port of New York, He was removed by President Hayes in 1879, and the following reasons for the removal were given by the President and Secreta: y of the ‘Treasury to the United States Senate, in official letters.

I like Jefferson’s way of inauguration; it suits our system. He rode alone on horseback to the Capitol, tied his horse to a rail fence, entered, and was duly sworn; then rode to the Executive Mansion and took possession. There might be dangerin WHERE HE WAS. In Mexico—Breveted for Gallantry at Contreras and Cherubusco At Williamsburg—McClellan telegraphed to Lincoln: ‘‘ Hancock was superb to-day.’ At Antietam—He was in the thickest of the fight At Chancellorsville—His horse was shot under him. At Gettysburg—He seemed there the very incarnation of war. On the second day he was at Cemetery Heights during the frightful cannonade, when the rebels concentrated the fire of one hundred and fifty guns on our lines. The air was full of missiles; streams of shot and shell screamed and hissed everywhere; it seemed as though nothing could live under that terrible fire—men and horses were torn limb from limb; caissons were exploded one after another in rapid succession, blowing the gunners to pieces. The infantry hugged the ground closely, and sought every slight shelter that the light earthworks afforded. It was liter- ally a storm of shot and shell, like the fall of raindrops or the beat of hailstones. Those who had taken part inevery battle of the war never had seen anything like that cannonade, and the oldest soldiers began to be uneasy for the result. Hundreds and thousands were stricken down; the shrieks of animals and screams of wounded men were appalling; still the awful rushing sound of flying missiles went on, and ap- paren never would cease. It was then, when the firmest hearts had begun to quail, the army witnessed one of the grandest sights ever beheld by any army on earth. Suddenly a band began to play ‘‘ The Star Banner,’ and General Hancock, with his staff, with corps flag flying, appeared on the right of imcovered, and rode down the front of his men to the left.

Lonvon, Aug. 20, 1820. Brother Bruner : It is quite interesting tous in the Unit- ed States to contemplate the great chaug- es that steam sd electricity has made throughout oue country. What social ad- vantages they have produeed, aud bow largely they have contribured to our in- dustrial and eusmereinl progress. We have but to take a review of the past to comprehend in some measure the great advantages we now possess. 1 suppose persons are now living who ean remem- ber when tobacco was transported from the valley of the Cape Fear, by putting shafts to the butts or hogsheads, te which they hitched horses and took it across the country like a large rojler to Petersburg, Va.,and brought their goods back in packs upon the horses, Those times when a wan starting to New York on business would settle up his affairs, make his will and bid a more solemn adieu to his fami- ly and friends than is generally done now by men who start to go around our globe.

D.; had been reared ‘after the stvaightest sect of our religion,’ a Presbyterian, and had been for many years a member of Back Creek Chareh. Though her sickness was protracted, and she was a great sufferer during its latter stages, yet she never complained or marnured, The loss to her family, te the commu- nity and te the Church is great indeed. she scems to have been of those who lived for ethers, In seasous of prosperity and of advesity ; in times of rejoieing and and of mourning, she was always ready io heighten the enjoyment by her ser- vices, or to lighten the sorrow of others | by thoughtful, Christian attentions. No sick bed ever ealled in) vain for her, if it were possible to attend. And pressing must have been her home duties to detain her from willingly miuistering to the be- ‘Treaved, She loved her church, and was ja ways among the leaders in every meas- u.e for promoting its usefulness, and thereby advancing the Redeemer's king: dom. Of berit may be trathfally said, “She hath done what she could.” But the “number of her months” is ended, and the Master, we trust, has ealled her to re- ceive her crown of righteousuess, and take her place among the ‘General “Assembly | and Church of the tirst born ” “Servant of God, well done ; fest from thy loved emplos ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy. Soldier of Christ, well done; Praise be thy new employ ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour’s joy.” J.A.R. ELECTION!! Tuesday, November 2, 1886.

Crouching the friendly | shadow of «large box,standing at one side of the duorway, wag 8 lad apparently about twelve or fourteen, a poor, ragged creature, with hollow cheeks and a haunted look in his dark- blue eyes that Jived in my memory for many a day afterward. ‘Please, pleqse,don’t ary out, oF call any one!’ heentreated in 8 low, pleading voice. ‘They’ll surely take me agaio, and I don’t want to go back.’ ‘Don’t want to go back where? I asked, growing courageous aud taking a step nearer him, For answer he pointed to a beavy ball and chain attached to one of hig ankles. In those days—for the time of which I writa wag long ago—it wag custom- ary to attach a weight of some kind to the legs of convicts in order to pre- vent them from going very far in case they should attempt to escape ; so I at once understood that he had got away from the town jail. ‘T was arrested for stealing a meat pie and they treated me so bad at the jail.’ he said with a dry sob that went straight to my heart, ‘chat—that—.’ ‘You ran away, poor boy ! Come in and I’!l hide you safely away.’ Together, and with mueh_ difh- culty in preventing the chair from rattling which would betray his pres- vehind ence to my father, we succeeded in creeping down to the back cellar. There I left him, well satisfied with my morning’s work. A little while after, I carried him a bowl of steaming coffee, and a slice of bread, which he swallowed to my satisfaction, with a decided relish. ‘I "say, sis,’ he whispered, ag I turned to leave, ‘if I had a good strong file, I could get this ’ere chain off, and then I’d be all right.’ ‘I will bring you, not only a file but a good suit of clothes that belong- ed to my brother that’s dead, and an old red wig from the garret, to dis- guise you sith,’ I angwered ‘on one condition only.’ ‘What is it?’ he asked eyeing me curiously. ‘Only this, that you give me your solemn promise never to steal again, no matter how poor or hungry you may be, and to try and become a good and respectable boy.’ A flash of brightness, visible even in the dim lightthat struggled through the narrow cellar window, passed over his wan features, and kneeling down SOO ae Parker piloted the way in swamp, and Matthews shot Gen.

Ip the many troubles that had come upon us, tle memory of the convict boy I once as- sisted pasged entirely away. ‘If yon have forgotton me, Lucia Summers,’ he returned, taking asmall shining gold-piece from his watah¢hain ‘perhaps you may remember one dark pight twelve years ago.

Less important, but equally striking, is the course of the wine trade in France. That favored country has for centu- ries been the reservoir whence all nitions drew their supply of wines.

Vance in Harrisonburg--John Wise and Paul also there but not Addressing the same Party. From the Richmond Dispatch. Harrisonburg, Va., September, 20. —Gov Vance addressed a large gath- ering here to-day. He handled the assistant Republicans with gloves off, showed np the affiliation of Mahone with the Republicans, and that he never intended to accept any proposi- tion of compromise that did not allow Garfield negroes to name a Democra- tic electoral ticket. While Vance was speaking John Wise was addressing a crowd of Jul- yers, Republicans and negroes in the court yard. His whole speech con- sisted in denunciation of funders and readjuster Democrats. Not a word against Garfield nor in favor of Han- cock. While Pan] was making his usual speech at his pole raising, a big ne- gro held an umbrella over him. Great was the enthusiasm for Wise and Paul _by the Radicals. — or rr What the Democrats of North Car- olina have done in the cause of edu- ‘cation is easily seen from the subjoin- ed table. What the Republicans did not do is also easily seen. They came into power in 1868, and spent noth- ing for schools; in 1869 they spent more than a million of dollars, but nothing for schools. They wasted and destroyed the educational fund and the children of the State received The Democrats they have constantly given increased educational facilities to the children of the State.

A Strange Lecomotive. There is now in process of construe- tion at the Grant locomotive works in Paterson, N. J., an engine, which, it is thought, will eclipse for speed any- thing yet built. It will look like an ordinary engine turned upside down. The machinery will be on top of the boiler instead of under it, as usual, and the boiler will hang very low on the wheels. There will be two pairs of driving wheels but instead of hav- ing them follow each other, one pair will be on top of the otber. The real driving wheels will be the upper pair, and they will tarn in the opposite di- rection from that in which the engine isgoing. They will rest upon the rims of the other pair, which will in tarn rest on the track, The revolution of the upper pair, by friction, is expected to drive the lower pair, the tires of the latter serving as tracke for the up- per ones. It is thought that a good deal greater speed can be got out of the machinery by this construction, and it is expected by the inventer that it will be the fastest locomotive ever made. Practical workmen, how- ever, think it won’t go at all.

However, I think, paid a reasonable compensation for their services and Ifavored an amendment of lature, but that body was so extpens)y sen <; sitive nbout paying ont the publie mene, tor any purpose, that the proposed amend- ment was voted duwn ly au overwhehn- tng majority. But it will readily: occur to E.O. that if the law bad been amend- have required that the members af the board of supervisors should vo longer be exempt from the duty of working au the. public roads, This, however is a small mattor. ° ‘ The other suggestion of E.O., however, is a most dangerous ove, and any party or individual legislator, favoring it, would be irretrievably rained. This is the pro- position: ‘Let every male subject, old enough to pay poll tax, who travels the public roads, irrespective of age, be taxed per capita, together with every vehicle and animal used on the road, sufficient to keep the reads in good order.” If sdecha law should be passed, there wonld neither be “better roads” nor “more harwony among those who would keep them ip re- pair.” Such a law would be more anjust than the present system, and would not work atall, ‘To enforce it would provoke the most bitter opposition, and would stir up a spirit of strife and hostility, whieh might result in armed resistence, and per- sonal violence. A more odious law could not possibly be devised. Our farmers would transport to Statesville, Coneord, Charlotte aud. Lexington all the surplus products they might have for sale, and grass Would soon grow in the streets of Salisbury. Property of every kind, all over the county, would decrease intmense- ly in value, aud those who could, conve- niently do so, would “pull up stakes” at} once and go elsewhere with a view to bet- | ter their fortunes. Direct: specitic taxes, on property or per capita, are always un- popular, if not unjust. ‘ I have given a great deal of thought to this whoie question of the Road Law, aud it [ could have had more time, would have had a speejal act for Rowan county pass- ed at the late special session of the Gen- cral Assembly. Every general road jaw has hitherto proved a tanore. Hereafter each county uust be allowed to have such a law as shall bo snitable to its own sec- tion, and the condition, needs and cir- cumstances of its own people. It will not do now to depend upon a system, Which although it has been in force in North Carolina for more than two centu- ries, has always worked wretchedly, and has never given satisfaction; and conld not do so, because it has never been either tair, equitable, reason .ble, or just. The changed condition of our people certainly demands a pew system for work- Rowan county Is concerned, But what the uew system shall be, is a most) trou- Dleseme question. Lt will not do to make violeut aud sudden changes. This plan has been tried in Mechlenburg and For- body. The goodness of a law of course must be tested by time and expericuce. Bat however good anew law may Ce initeelf, it would be better pot to pass it, if cue minds odious and anpopular—as all specitic tax- es are. My suggestions are these—Let the law be amended so as to provide as fol- lows: 1. Let all able-bodied wale persons be- tween the ages of eightcen and torty-tive years be reqnired to work on the public roads not less thau three nor more than four days in each. year. emption clauses. t Repeal all ex-], toexpend anuually not less than fifteen hundred dollars, nor more than three roads, provided, however, that all the State exceed sirty-gix and tico-third cents on the one hundred dollars worth o property. * 3. Let the members af the pervisors be paid a reasonable compensa- tion for their services. response trom the people, a bill enibody- ing these gaggestious may be proposed by the members elect of the General Assem- bly, and passed into a law early next Jaunary. This scheme, if judiciously carried out, will work a revelation in the county. And while the rate of taxation will vot be materially increased, the pitb- lic roads of the county will be wonderfally improved. With good roads, our farmers, merchants, and all other classes of the commanity, will enter upon a pew ca- reer of prosperity. The poor man and the working man will no lenge? bé requir- ed to do more than their share of the work of keeping up the public ronds ; and while they will work fewer days in each year, they will be furnished with good tools; and implements to work with; and they will -feel and kuow that the property: holders of the county ure. alae. centribu- titig what is fair aud right towards keep- ing the pablic roads in good econditiun.

When cornered up they4 have been known to be quite combative, and again they have been known to go through a convent back window. Generally they are mild and passive. Are editors cross to each other? Only when separated by sevoral blocks of buildings. Do they eat? They do. It was farmerly supposed that they ate at long intervals, but it isa well authenticated fact that they can eat a good deal when they can get it. What kind of food do they like most ? They are not very partioular, While they won't refuse quail on toast, fried crab or roast turkey about Christmas time, they bave been known to make a hearty repast off a dish of cold turnips and a consump- tive herring. Can they eat a concert ticket? We believe not. Some people have this erroneous impression from false teachings in early life; but no authenticated instance of such a thing is on record Do editors go free into the shows? They do, when they give a dollar-and-a- half local for a twenty five-cent ticket. Are all editors bald? No, only the married ones are bald. But let us pass on; the editor does nes like to be stared at. ee = _ No Place for Him. From the D: troit Free Press. When the gates of the State fair were thrown open yesterday morning a man who was built on the plumb line principle, and whose hat would have attraoted the curiosity of a crowd a mile and a half away, was stopped because he had no ticket. He indulg- ed in some rather lond talk, and was ken in hand by a policeman and led to one side. “Let us now come toan understand- ing,” he said as hecooled off.

Cor. Raleigh News & Oba. On last Wednesday or Thursday, as Mr. Hines, a gentleman living on Mr. Simeon Simmon’s plantation, was | walking down to the river (Neuse, | near the old blockade), he spied a} white man on the river, in a blue sail | boat. Waiting to see what he was doing, he discovered that the man} was trying to sink the boat. As soon as he saw Mr. Hines he came ashore and told him he was trying tosink an old wormeaten boat, but there were two good sails on it he might have if. he would get it, and as Mr. Hines was. endeavoring to get the boat with a) main with him one or two days at a stick, the man disappeared in the, woods and has not been heard from since. Mr. Hines secured the boat, and found it tocontain two sails, two sacks of meal, two good coats, powder and | shot, one axe, a quantity of bottles, one spider, one pot or oven, books, Norfulk papers, and a map of Neuse River. We learn to-day that this man has been seen for several mouths on the river, at different points. These facte we have learned trom different parties who have talked with Mr. Simmons the owner of the land. The man has at all times refused to tel! his name, and had plenty of whisky. W. Seeley eae erry WEAVER « Repusrican.—It has come to be an open secret that during the recent visit here of General Weay- er, the greenback candidate for the presideney, he was in secret consulta- tion for some hours with the chairman of the republican congressional eam- saign committee, as he was known to be on one er two other previous occa- sions when in Washington. General Weaver’s whele course since the Ala- bama election could not have been sore cunniugly devised in the inter- — eel nem a = et ofthe repablins gueipy alleged very 3) ersvgements to that effect were made in hig interviews, with Mr. Hubbell, The. bolt from the greenbackers” convention im Maine: yesterday was undonbtedly due to his efforts, but the insignificance of it shows that his influence is nat near so great as the republican managers have been led to expect. neo A minister was soliciting ald ‘to foreign missions, and applied to a gen- tleman who refused him, with the re- ply, “I don’t believe in foreign mis- sions, I want what I give to benefit my neighbors.” “Well,” replied he, “whom do you regard as your neighbors ?” aWhy, those around me,” “Do you mean those whose land joins yours?” inquired the minister, “Yes,” “Well,” said the minister, “haw much land do you own?” “About five hundred aeres.” “How far down do you own?” “Why, I never thought of it before, in a republican government like ours; but I suppose I own about half way through.” “Exactly,” said the clergyman, e suppose you do, and I want the mon- ey for the New Zelanders—the men whose land joins yours on the bottom.” a a Words of Wisdom, Have not the cloak to make when it begins to rain, Love, undying, solid love, whose root is virtue, can no more die than virtue itself, He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the Joom, and will see the effect when the weaving ofa lifetime is unraveled, | Yo fill the sphere which Providence ‘appoints is true wisdom ; to discharge trusts faithfully and live exalted ideas, that iv the mission of good men. | No trait of character is rarer, none 1 | more admirable, thana thoughtful in-' idependence of the opinions of oth-| lers, combined with a sensitive regard for the feelings of others.

A sad case of suicide by starvation | ‘comes from near McDonough, Ga.

He repulsed all efforts to furce | food down him. Gradtally be dwit.- dled away and became demented in mind, until finally his body was com- ipletely emaciated, and on_ the seven- teenth day he died.

Almost simultancously the two quadruplex tines—one from New York to New Orleans >| and the other from New York to Augusta were completed. The connection was made en the former at a point between this city and Grecensbore.

Amid the ever shifting scenes of domes- tic and social life, it is extremely difficult to wet a picture of any one neighborhood. During the peried of current life, events are regarded as of so little importance, and they are so numerous and crowded, that no one takes the time and trouble to make a record of passing events, But when ® gencration or two has gone by, and children or grand- children would love to know the Iistory of their ancestors, only fragments remain, Now and then a curious chronicler arises, and by searching into records in family Bibles, old wills and deeds, and by the aid of some sur- viver of past generations stranded on the shores of time, succeeds in sketching an out- line of the old days. But the picture can uever be complete, and seldom absolutely accurate. With such aids as these, the au- thor of these pages, proposes to give a run- ning sketch of the peopic that lived ina part of Rowan couuty at the close of the last century. About six miles northeast of Salisbury, where Grant's Creck pours its yellow waters into the Yadkin, there was a large farm and spacious dwelling, owned by Alexan- der Long, Esq. Somewhere abaut 1756 there appeared in Rowan county a man who is designated in a deed, dated October 7th, 1757, as John Long, Gentleman. He purch- asecl a tract of land of 620 acres on the ridge be:ween Grant’s Creek and Crane Creek, ad- joining the Township land. In 1758 he re- ceived a title from the Earl of Granville for 608 acres onthe Drauvhts of Grant’s Creek.” Also 640 acres on Crane Creek, adjoining his own. <Al-o 604 acres on Second Creek ; besides some town lots in Salisbury—alto- gether between twenty-five hundred and three thousand acres of land. According to records on Minutes ef the Inferior Court for 1756, p. 400, John Long had some transac- tions with William and Joseph Long of Lan- caster county, Pennsylvania, perhaps broth- ers, or other relatives of his. According to deeds and letters of administration, his wife’s name was Hester. These were the parents of Alexander Long, Esq., ot Yadkin. In the year 1760 the Cherokee Indians were on the war-path, and Col. ugh Waddell was stationed with a regiment of infantry, at the new village of Salisbury, for the pro- tection of the western settlements. Tradi- tion says that John Long was killed by the Indians in an expedition against a settlement of them in ‘Turkey Cove, on the North Fork of the Catawba River, not far from Pleasant Gardens. The records of the Inferior Court of 1760, p. 293. have this entry. “Upon motion of Mr. Dunn, ordered that Hester Long, relict of Jolin Long, dec., have admin- istration of the estate of her late husband, Jno. Long (and that) Martin Pipher, John Howard and Thos. Parker be bound in £600. She took the oath of Administratrix.” Tra- dition states that Hester Long afteiwards married Geo. Magoune, by whom she was the mother of a daughter who became the wife of Maxwell Chambers. The Court re- cords for April, 1763, p. 461, have this entry. “Wm. Long cs George Magoune et-uxor., Adins. of John Loag.” Alexander Long was probably the only child of Jno, Long, was born Jan. 16th, 1758, and became heir to the vast area of fertile lands entered and purchased by his father. When he became of age he added to this large estate. In the road from Salisbury to Trading Ford, and in 1784, he entered 665 acres on the North side of the Yadkin River. He first married a sister of Gov. Montfort Stokes, by whom he had one daughter, named Eliza- beth, who became the wife of Alexander Frehock, Esq., who was the sheriff of Row- an county. “Tie was inarried a second time to Miss “Elizabeth Chapman, a lady from Virginia, Oct. 12, 1786, Besides his exten- sive landed estate, Alexander Long wasthe owner of a hundred or more slaves, and had a valuable ferry over the Yadkin at the mouth of Grant's Creek, besides valuable fisheries on the River. In those-days the Yadkin abounded with shad, and immense quantities were caught in Mr. Long's fisher- ies. He had a large family of sons and daughters—John, Alexander, William,Rich- ard, James, Nancy, Maria, Rebeccr, Harriet and Caroline. | ‘The second son, Dr. Alex. Long, late of Salisbury, whose men-ory is still fresh in 1783 he purchased a tract on both sides of SALISBURY. N. C, the minds of our citizens, spent the larger part of his life in Salisbury. He was for many years the leading physician in the county, and his practice was very extensive, He married Miss Mary Williams, of Hills- boro, At the organization of the Presby- terian Chuch of Salisbury, Dr. Long became one of its original members, and one of its first Ruling Elders. He continued to be an Elder until his death in 1877, in the 89th year of his age. Maria Long, daughter of Alex. Long, Esq., became the wife of the late Michael Brown, of Salisbury, so long a rominent bp. chan’,ind Ruling Elder of the resbyterian church. The houses of Dr. Long and Michacl Brown were for many years the abodes of a bountiful hospitality. Ministers and agents for religious objects always found there a cordial welcome and a generous entertainment. Harriet, another daughter of Alex. Long, was married tothe late George Brown, for a long period a lead- ing merchant of Salisbury. Rebecca Long married Capt. Edward Yarboro. The others were all well known, and exerted an inftu- ence in their day. In the large family of Alex. Long, Sen., we have an element of Rowan society as it existed at the close of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. The family burying ground of the Longs was ona high bluff pear the river bank a short distance below the ferry. 2. The next plantation on the Yadkin, and just below the Long Place, was originally called the “Stroup Piace,” and in late years, the “Bridge Place.” It was owned in those early days by Lewis Beard, son of John Lewis Beard, one of the first settlers of Salis- bury. Some misunderstanding having awisen between Mr. Long and Mr. Beard concern- ing the right of the latter to kcep a ferry on his lands, Mr. Beard secured from the Leg- islature the right to build a bridge over the river on his own lands. He therefore secu- red as an Architect, Ithiel Towne, and erect- ed a magnificent bridge, at a cost of $30 000. For many years this bridge stood there, and spanned the stream, affording passage at all heights of the river. It was known in later years as “Locke’s Bridge.” Its piers may still be seen rising in their ruins above the waters, from the Rail Road Bridge, a half mile below. Lewis Beard married Susan, the daughter of Jno. Dunn, Esq., of Salisbury. Of their children, Mary married Maj. Moses A. Locke, for Many years President of the Bank in Salisbury. The grandchildren of Major Locke still reside at the Bridge Place, near the river, Christine, another daughter of Lewis Beard, married Charles Fisher, Esq., a lawyer of Salisbury. From 1818 until lis death in 1849, for nearly 40 years, Charles Fisher was a leading man in Rowan county in public affairs, serving often in the State Legislature, and several times in the U. 8. Congress. His son, Col. Chas. F. Fisher, was a leading man. Ie volunteered at the beginning of the late war, and fell in the first battle of Manassas, courageously fight- ing in front of hisregiment. Another child of Lewis and Susan Beard, was Maj. John Beard, who died about five years ago at his home in Tallahassee, Florida. 3. The third plantation on the Yadkin, going down the stream, was owned by Val- entine Beard, afterwards known as Cowan's Ferry, and at present as Hedrick’s Ferry. Valentine Beard was a continental soldier in the Revolutionary war, and fought at the Battles of the Brandywine and Germantown, and others, under Gen, Washington. He marricd Margaret Marquedant of Pbiladel- phia, and at the close of the war settled at this place. Valentine Beard had three daughters, Elizabeth married Benjamin Tores. Maria married Dr. Burns, of Phila- delphia, who was-a seacaptain. Dr. Burns seftled in Salisbury about 1819, and remain- ed a few years, when he returned to Phila- delpbia. Dr. Burn’s daughter Margaretta married the !ate Ilorace Beard of Salisbury, and their descendants still reside here. Next below the place last named was one called the “Island Ford” place, including the Island of 100 acres lying above Trading Ford. This Island is probably the one that is called the “Island of Akenatzy,” in the journal of Ledcrer’s explorations, as found in Hawks’s History of North Carolina, This place belonged to Lewis Beard, who owned the bridge above. 4. The next place, still going down, was the property of Capt. Edward Yarboro, of Salisbury. The house, occupied by tenants or overseers, stood just back of where St. John’s: mill now stands, Capt. Yarboro lived in Salisbury, and had three daughters and two sons. Sally Yarboro, was tlic sec- ond wife of Wm. C. Love, and the mother ot Wm. and Julius Love. She and her hus- band lie buried just in the rear of Merency’s Hall. Nancy Yarboro married Col. Beatty of Yorkville, 8. C.. and Mary married Rich- ard Long. Edward Yarboro, Jr., was the owner of the Yarboro Ilouse in Raleigh, and gave his name to it. 5. Just below the Trading Ford, on ahigh bluif, stood the residence of Albert Torrence. The house is stil! conspicuous from afir, and has been named of late years by a poctical friend, “The Heights of Gowerie.” It was from these “heights” that Lord Cornwallis’s artillery cannonaded Gen. Greene, while writing his dispatches in the cabin on the other side of the Yadkin. Albert Torrence. an Irishman, chose this airy situation for his residence, and from the edge of the bluff he could watch the windings of the silver stream, dotted with a cluster of beautiful islets, and beyond could sce lying the fertile farms of the famed Jersey Settlement. Al- bert Torrence married Elizabeth Hackett of Rowan county. In this family there grew up four sons and one daughter. Hugh the eldest son marricda Miss Simonton of States- ville, and died early. Albert married a daughter of Judge Toomer of Fayetteville, and settled in that city. Janes died young. Charles marricd first Miss Elizabeth L. Hays of Rowan county, and after her death, Miss Philadelphia Fox, of Charlotte. Ifis_ resi- dence was south cast of Charlotte, on the Providence road, about a mile from the pub- lic square. The daughter of Albert Torrence married Wim. E. Powe of Cheraw, and set- tled at the Bruner place five miles east of Salisbury on :h+ Chambers’ Ferry Road, where they reared a large family of sons and daughters, only two of whom remain in Rowan—Dr. Albert Torrence Powe, and his sister, Mrs. Hackett, who reside at the fami- ly homestead. At the organization of the Presbyterian Church in Salisbury, Albert Torrence became a member, ard one of the first bench of Elders. His remains, with those of his wife and several of their chil- dren, and of Mr. Powe, are sleeping in the English graveyard in Salisbury, under broad marble slabs, near the entrance. Albert Torrence died in 1825, aged 72 years. 6. Next to the Torrence place was the farm of Gen. John Steele of Salisbury. Gen. Steele was the son of William.and Elizabet Steele, and was one of the most distinguish- ed native born citizens of Salisbury. His mother’s maiden name was Elizabeth Max. hi apnea well, and she was a native of west Rowan. She was first married to-Mr. Gillespie by whom she had a son an: daughter, as men- tioned ona former page. Herson,John Steele, | was born in Salisbury, November 1st, 1764, and was educated in the schools of the town. He commenced life asa merchant, but soon tarned his attention to farming, in which he was eminently successful, In 1787 he became a member of the legislature of North Carolina. In 1790+he was a member of the first Congress of the United States under the Constitution, He was appointed by Gen. Washington first Comptroller of the Treasury of the United States, which office he held until 1802, when lic resigned,though solicited by Mr. Jefferson to continue. He eccupied many other prominent stations, and filled them all with faithfulness and success, On the day of hig death—Aug. 14, 1815—he was elected to tlie House of Com- mons of North Carolina. A singular story is told of a circumstance that occurred at his death. During the timé he was Comp- troller he presented to his native town a clock—the one now on the Court honse, and a bell. The night of Gen. Steele’s death, the clock commenced striking, and continu- ed to strike many hundreds of times, until it was run down. Hugh Horah, a watch- maker, had the clock in charge, but he could de nothing with it. It was doubtless, all things considered, a singular co-incidence, and calculated to beget a superstitious awe in the minds of the people. In 1783, John Stecle married Mary Nesfield of Fayette- ville. Three daughters lived to grow up and marry. Ann married Cen. Jesse A. Pearson.- Margaret married Dr. Stephen L. Ferrand, and was the mother of Mary—the wife of the late Archibald Henderson, Esq., and Ann who married the late late John B. Lord Esq., afterwards the late Rev. John Haywood Parker, and lastly T. G. Haugh- ton, Esq. Eliza, daughter of Gen. Jolin Steele, mar- ried Col. Robert, Macnamara, a native of Ire- land, but for a time a prominent citizen of Salisbury. Col. Macnamara’s children are all dead except Louise, now in a Convent, and Eliza who married Dr, Lynch of Colum- bia, S.C. Gen. Steele crected the house oc- cupied by the late Archibald Henderson, Esq. There he died at the age of fifty, and near his residence he was laid to his rest, where a memorial stone consecrated by con- jugal and filial affection, testifies to his char- acter “as an enlightened statesman, a vigi- lant patriot, and an accomplished gentle- man.” Gen. Stecle’s wife survived him for many years. Salisbury has special reason to be proud ef the exalted character, and faithful services of her honered son, Second to asense of duty, there is probably no high- er incentive to the faithfal discharge of pub- lic trusts, than the hope of transmitting an honored name to posterity. But if posteri- ty forgets their honored ancestors, then neither the dread of shame nor love of honor is left to inspire men to an honorable course of life. ___ a. Denton Texas. Frirenp T: It is not the loss of either my fingers or my memory that protracted this long silence, but the want of something to write, but just now being persuaded that one idea will saggest another, I have at- tempted this. Three wecks ago to-day, Mr. B, returned from his visit toS. Although I was absent from him in the flesh, still, I walked) with him, talked with and visted the same, and saw the same dear familiar faces, But alas! there came not to me the voices of dear friends, yet there is much comfort in the old saying, “that every—will have its day.” And the longer the separation, the greater the joy will be at the reunion. The saddest thonght connected with the absence of friends and families, is the uncertanity of time and events; but the sustaining hope and desire of my existence is to again in this world see those who are now in the ‘sear and yellow leaf of life,” and be once more safe, housed and garnered in their loving arms, Mr. B. speaks often of his visit, and though it was short, I think from questions asked and answered,that he made good use of, and well improved his time. Since last writing, many changes and im- provements have taken place in our little town. The quiet of our own home, which two years ago seemed quite secluded, has exchanged its country-like air for much of the dust and bustle of town. Several nice residences, right near us, have been erected, and displaying considerably more architec- tural taste and clegance than the most of them, the majority being quite small, one story buildings, without any attempt at style or convenience. The town has grown much more compact, or in other words the houses are not so few and far between, but there is nothing special ta recommend them, except the hand of time visibly stamped upon many. But the outward appearance mat- ters but little, so there abideth within that | which is good. And you will find in. Den- ton some as good und noble people as you care ever to meet. As evidence of this, there is an abundant influence for good, there are meetings every week of societies and clubs. They have young men’s christian associa- tion, young men and ladies’ literary club. And the older or married ladies have recent- ly formed for their own mutual interest and pleasure, a literary society, which meets every week at the homes of the various members. I have been solicited to join, but as yet have never attended. So you see the system and influence under which we Den- ton people live, is very liberal and calculat- ed to impreve and enlighten, if we feel so disposed (and think it safe to venture on a change). Yn the form of an incidental, I will just here say, that there is also a small num- ber of what they call the “Free Thinkers.” Is that what you call them? and have you any? They are the happy converts of Mr. ‘Robert Ingersoll, who believe in an ut- iter renunciation and annihilation of the Bible; asserting that christianity as an in- stitution does not tend morally to regulate or-elevate man,but on the contrary is wholly demoralizing; resulting only in hampering and perverting the mind. And netwith- a. nine regularly installed and working minis- ters, you will find quite a number of both sexes under the influence of this pernicious belief—the requirements of which, would not support or sustain even a high standard of morality. : The school government and advantages as they now exist, are but-little if any better than what we style our county free schools ; but they are now’ devising new and alto- gether different arrangments, and will, when gone into operation, place Denton on a level with the best of Schools. A. B. _———-—p Maj. Andre’s Portrait. New York Tribune. As the day for the centennial celebration of the capture of Maj. Andre at Tarrytewn, September 23d, is approaching, it may not be an uninteresting “fact that a portrait-of Andre, painted by himself by the‘sid of a looking glass, during his brief imprison- ment, may be found in Weschester county. It is in possession of Clark Davis, a farmer and undertaker, of Upper New Rochelle. As far back as can be traced at present, it came into the possession of .Mr. Ball, then living at Bethany New Haven county, Conn., whose father was a native of New England. Young Mr. Ball is said to have obtained the picture in one of the Southern States and carried it to England, with what object it is not definitely known, but it is supposed for the purpose of finding the relatives of Andre and presenting or selling the picture to them. How far he was successful im the ob- ject of his mission to England can only be surmised by the fact that he brought the picture back and finally presented to his father at his home in Bethany. Mr. Ball, Sr., prized it highly. Shortly before his death he gave the portrait to his daughter, who became the wife of Truman Davis, of Naugatuck, Conn. Mr. Davis was a Welsh- man, and shared his wife’s interest in the picture. “He gave it a conspicuous place in one of the rooms of his dwelling. Some time subsequently, afier the death of Mrs. Davis. Mr. Davis married a widow, Mrs. Sophia Mallory, who objected to the painting, and had it put away in the garret. Clark Davis, on visiting his father on one occasion, missing the picture from the place which it had long occupied, inquired what had become of it, and when informed that it had been stored away in the attic, asked for it, and obtained permission to take it away. He did so, and he has since been its possessor, In the picture, which is mount- ed in the original frame, Major Andre is rep- resented as attired in the uniform of his rank, with a red coat with light green fac- ings, ornamented with large gilt epaulets, buttons and embroidery, and with cambric rufiics around the wrists. His waistcoat and trowsers are of white material, and his shirt front is ornamented with old-fashioned pro- jecting ruffles. He sits in an easy chair, with his legs crossed, his left elbow resting on the back of the chair, and his right hand stretched on the top of a round table by his side, on which rests an inkstand with a pen in it. From the window of his room, and in full view, may be seen a number of tents, and a large body of American troops, ap- parently being. drilled by the officers, while the stars and stripes are floating in the breeze. Just beyond the encampment of the American army flows the Hudson, and the background of the picture consists of the range of hills extending northerly from the upper end of the Palisades. Andre, ac- cording to the portrait, had very dark brown hair, with small whiskers and fair complex- ion, and blue eyes. He had no beard or moustache. : ae A Brave Woman. Tow She Saved a Battle Flag. Qld Mme. Annette Drevon, who keeps a vegetable stall in the Parisian Halics, is the only woman in France upon whom the Cross of the Legion has been bestowed for an ac- tual deed of arms performed on the battle- field. She was attached to the second zou- aves as vivandiere when that regiment, was serving in Italy, and during the battle of Magenta, the Zouaves being at close quar- ters with the enemy, two Austrian grena- diers seized the regimental colors and were carrying. them off in triumph, when Annette rushed after them under a heavy fire of mus- ketry, shot one dead, severely wounded the other, and hrought back the flag in safety to her comrades. For this feat she was dec- orated, and subsequently she proved herself, by another deed of reckless daring, abund- antly worthy af the distinction conferred upon ber, Throughout the Franco-German war she acted as sutler to the thirty-second infantry, and behaved on several occasions with conspicuous gallantry, One day, short- ly after the conclusion of the armistice; she was standing near one of the town gates of Thionville; when a Bavarian soldier grossly insulted her. Without an instant’s hesita- tion she drew her revolver and shot him down where he stood. She was arrested on the spot and conveyed to Metz, where she was promptly tried by court-martial and sentenced to death. Fortunately for her, Prince Frederic Charles happened to ride into Metz carly in the morning appointed for her execution, and, hearing: that a wo- man was about to be shot for firing upon a German soldier, gave orders that the pro- ceedings should be stayed untill he ghould have looked into the evidence given at her ‘trial. Four days later Annette Drevon re- ' ceived the imperial pardon, was set at liber- ty and supplied with funds to defray her expenses to her native place. ; standing Denton supports some eight. or | “5 = Soe ScENE—A COURT OF JUSTICE IN N.

A beardless disciple of Themis ris- es and thus addresses the court: May it please your Worships and you, Gen- tlemen. of the Jury, since it has been my fortune (good or bad, I will not say) to exercise myself in legal disqui- sitions, it has never before befallen me to be obliged todenounce a breach of the peace so enormous and trans- cending as the-one now claiming our attention, A more barbarous, direful, marked and malicious assault—a more wilful, violent, dangerous and mur- derous battery, and finally a more di- }abolical breach of the peace has sel- dom happened in-a civilized country, and I dare say it was never your du- ty to pass upon one 80 shocking to be- nevolent feelings as this, which took place over at Captain Rice’s in this county, but you will hear from the witnesses. The witnesses being sworn two or three were disposed of—one said he heard the noise, but didn’t see the fight ; another, that he saw the row but didn’t known who struck first, and a third, that he was very drunk and could not say much about the scrimage. Lawyer Chops—I am very sorry, gentleman, to have occupied so much of your time with the stupidity of the witnesses examined. It arose gentle- sion on my part. Had I known as I now do, of a witness in attendance, who was well acquainted with all the circumstances of the case, and who was able to make himself clearly and intelligibly understood by the court and jusy, I should not so long have trespassed on your time and patience. Come forward Mr. Harris. So forward comes the witness, a fat, chuffy looking man, a “leetle” corned, and took his corporeal oath with an air. Chops—Mr. Harris, you ure to tell us all you know about the riot that happened the other day at Captain Rice’s, and as a good deal of time has been already wasted in circumlocution, we wish you to be as compendious and at the same time as explicit as possible. Harris—Edzactly—giving the law- yer a knowing wink, at the same time clearing his throat—Captain Rice, he gin a treat, and Cousin Sally Dil- lard, she came over to our house and axed me if my wife mought go. , 1 told cousin Sally Dillard that my wife was poorly being as she had got a touch of the rheumatiz in the hip, and the big swamp was in the road, and the big swamp was up, for there had been a heap of rain lately ; but howsomev- er as it was she, cousin Sally Dillard, my wife, she mought go.

FOR PRESIDENT : WINFIELD SCOTTaHANCOCK, Ory PBNNSYLYVANIA, Rite a FOL VICE-PRESIDENT : WILLIAM H, ENGLISH, Or INDIANA. ——— oo REPUBLICAN ENIGMA, 3 329 9 ee Jos. 8 Fowler, Jas. H. Embry, George Williamson, William A. Gurthrie, i. P- Phelps, John Pool, Daniel Coleman, Wm. G. Riley, Solomon Pool, John Tyler and Alexander White, all hitherto prominent Boathern Republicans, have united in an address, rebuking the sectionatism of the Republican party as sought to be perpet- uated by the election of Garfied, (whose hatred of the Southern people was fully shewn up in our last week’s paper), and demanding the election of Gen. Hancock as the surest means of securing national harmony and a government based on the principles of the constitution and the laws. The signers of this address, which isa clear aud able review of the situation, have done what they could to promote the cause of truth, and deserve credit for it. ————— oe DON’T DO IT? — There are abundant and paramont rea- sons why every good citizen should cast his vote with the Democrats at the com- ing election. We have already laid before our readers numerous deformities illus- trative of the crooked ways of Radicalism, hence will only now give a brief rehears- al of one of their most prominent charac- ters—a perfect paragon of corruption, vileness, dissimulatiou, and bigoted ma- lignity—one Jas. A. Garfield. This man was the main instrument which brought about the grandest fraud that ever cast a blot on the pages of our political history : The steal of a Presidency ; the steal of the electoral votes of three sovereign States of this Union; the theft of the political rights vouchedsafe to the citizens of these United States by the constitution as hand- ed down to them by our fathers. This he (Garfield) did with the hope of giving his party a longer lease of power. By this act he virtually placed his foot upon the necks of millions of free- born voters, stridiug over the prostrate form of civil liberty itself, for no other reason than to keep in power the most corrupt party every known tu us. This, the man who has made it the greatest aim of his lfie-work to keep in servile sabjagation the suffering, down-trodden Bouth, by nourishing hatred, fermenting discord, stirring up strife, and in every way possible attempting to keep burning jn the minds of the people of the North and Northwest the fires of distrust and jealousy. This man has aided, whenever he could, the party which well-nigh crushed ivto the dust the highest prerog- ative of the American people—the voice of the ballot box, White man—born free —can you vote for such a man? Black man, you love your freedom ; then why vote for the man who would not acruple to take from you the right of vo- ting whenever it will benefit the Repub- lican party to do so. The above is a revolting picture, but is not overdrawn, and we are confident that there ia not a Democrat in North Caroli- na who will cast his vote for Garfield. Bat we hear it said that there is dissatis- faction as to some of the Democratic] , nominees. This is unavoidable, Every voter cannot have his individual prefer- ence, nor never will. But to vote for Baxton, or any Republican candidate, is just to that extent endorsing the one thoasand villainous acts of the Republican y- ‘Yo vote for Barringer or Furches is to endorse in a measure the great Presiden- tial steal. To vote for Bringle is to go with him into the dark-luntern meetings, where he has taken so much pleasure and pains to array the poor ignorant blacks against their best friends, the Democrats of the South, To yote fur Bringle is to endorse all the Jow-dowy, unprincipled measures to whieh he has resorted for the sake of re- taining office, They tell you that Grant isa great and good man; aud that Garfield is a great Christian Statesman; yet these two men of all others, did their utmost to degrade the patriotic statesman and soldier, W. 8. Haneock, because he was wanly enough, during the darkness that once overshad- owed our dear Southern land, to declare that ‘the miltary should be subordinate to the civil law.” Aud now fellow Dem- ocrats, in the face of all this, cau you vote fur any Repuliean, of whatever degree, or for auy office in your gift?

But if you do not approve of it, serve your coun try by voting against Radicalism from President down. Every:man who votes on the 2ud of November must vote for or against the great frand of 1876. If he votes for the Republicans he embraces the fraud. There is no escape from this ; in so doing he rati- fies and approves the greatest piece of poli- tical villainy ever perpetrated against the American people. ‘ The Charlotte Observer of this morning contains reports of the 2d day of the great King’s Mountain Centennial celebration. Yhousands of people are there, and nu- merous military companies in encamp- ment and participating in the ceremonies of the occasion. OOD OE CONCORD PRESBYTERY. —_—_— This body met in the new Presbyterian Church at Newton, Catawba county, Thurs- day evening last. Rev. Mr. Giasgow, pas- tor of Bethel church, was moderator. The business of the Presbytery was almost ex- clusively routine. Prof. Martin, of David- gon College, delivered an address on the College and its affairs, which was listened to with much Interest. There was consid- erable discussion, Friday afternoon, on the transmontain mission, the.Committee hav- ing that subject under -control reporting their inability to do anything without mon- ey. The discussion resulted in the adop- tion of measures which it was thought would relieve the Committee of embarrassment, and they were urged to renewed efforts in the cause. Presbytery closed its labors Saturday night, and adjourned to mect in Raleigh at the meeting of Synod. Thenext semi-annual mecting of Presbytery will take place at Rocky River church, in Cabarrus county, Wednesday before the 1st Sabbath in April, 1881. The members of Presbytery were very hand- somely entertained by the citizens of New- ton who really made the occasion exceeding- ly pleasant. The attendance of the people on religious services was good, both day and night. Tue Town oF NEWTON In the beautiful agricultural county of Catawba, although only seven or eight miles distant from the briskly growing town of Hickory, is yet progressive. It may be term- ed the town of comfortable distances and airy divides: the residences.of her people having an abundance of room for yards, gar- dens, and lots for stock, and these, many of them, are handsomely laid out and orna- tion is on a dry and somewhat sandy ridge, which rarely if ever becomes mirery or un- comfortable to the pedestrian. Her busi- ness houses are chiefly located on the four squares fronting towards the Court House, which latter occupies exclusively, the en- closed central square in the plat of the town; which arrangement is convenient to the public, and secures the safety of the Court burn without endangering the Court House and the valuable record$ there Kept. EVIDENCES OF THRIFT. Several new buildings are in process of erection, and these are brick structures Yany others seem to be of recent date, most- ly dwellings, in groves of oak or on ample grounds capable of adornment. The Ger- man Reform people are making a large ad- dition to their College in the south-western suburbs, to accommodate the growing pros- perity of that institution, Two steam mills have been put up within the last 12 or 15 months, and are in active opcration, sawing lumber, grinding grain, ginning cotton, &c. The wheat drill isa popular agricultural implement, no less thau a dozen of them were seen standing in different parts of the town. The stores open early in the morn- jng and the clerks are active in making ready fer business, The sales of fertilizers here run up to a pretty high sum, from thirty to forty thousand dollars worth this season. of guano and barrcls of fertilizers, The people look easy and good natured, which indicates clearness of debt. It was Catawba, we belive, which had fewer bank- rupts than any other county in the State. And last, but not least, sMe is the banner Democratic tounty, It is a pretty country and a good place to live well. The railroad facilities, when the ‘Narrow Guage” shall be completed, will be equal to the require- ments of the present population. = oe Tue Great IssuE.—The chief issue in the approaching election is the condemnation orthe approval of the electoral fraud of 1876. If the majority of the people wish to con- demn that fraud, they will vote ag»inst the Republican candidate; if the majority wish to approve it, they will vote tor him. Since the death of Zach Chandler there is no one alive who embodies, represents, and personifies this fraud more perfectly than James A. Garfield. Ifthe Republicans had sought out there candidate merely that they might take the people’s verdict upon the subject, they could not have made a more perfect selection. As Mr. Hendricks has well expressed it, “Garfield's nomination means the indorsement and approval in the most positive and offensive manner possible of the Presidential fraud.” Thus there can be no doubt regarding the question, All citizens who believe in the wisdom and safety of putting a man into the Presidency who is not elected, and in keep- ing out the man who is elected, can express their faith in the most conclusive manner by voting for Garficld, On-the other hand, all the oifice, can vote against him. who believe that the voice of the people should be respected, and the candidate who receives a majority of suffrages should have The Republicans did far better than they A Circular From Hon: Wm.

Robbins. all crimes against the rights of the peo- To the Voters of the Seventh Congressional District : {You have heretofore conferred upon me the high honor of electing me, in the most flat- tering manner, as your Representative in Congress. I shall ever be grateful for this mark of your kindness and confidence. Will you pardon me, now, and not think it pre- sumptuous, if I venture a word of counsel to you and especially to those of you who so earnestly wish me returned this year to that high trust? I had intended to say these things more fully to you in person, and face to face in public speeches. But as the exe- cutive committee have pressed me into scr- vice to canvass other parts of the State most of the time between this and the election, 1 find I shall not be able to see you so gener- ally as I had expected. I gave utterance to these same sentiments in my specch at the Yadkinville convention, But I desire for them a, wider circulation in the district than they could have from that circumstance. These are my reasons for addressing you in this forin: * It is reported-that some of-you are so dis- pleased because I was not nominated for Congress as to talk of with-holding your votes from my worthy and distinguished competitor, Hon. R.-F. Armficld. Pardon me, my friends, Your deyotion to me deep- ly touches my heart ; yet pardon me for say- ing that I think duty to our cause now calls you and me to a better and nobler course than that. IfI have deserved your confi- dence, it is because I love our principles more than my own promotion, In my judg- ment, the success of our party is essential to the safety and purity of our institutions and to the welfare of our country. This success requires that we elect not only the President but also a majority of Congress to sustain him and give effect to his policy. I have no doubt of Col. Armtield’s elec- tion; but I learn that our adversarics are indulging the pleasing hope that some of my special friends will prove so indifferent or unfriendly to his success as to enable his op- ponent to gain at least some partial advant- age over him, or at any rate'to so divide and distract our forces as tu weaken our general ticket in the district, and permanently in- jure our party. Now, my friends, I ask you ta jein me in disappointing these fond dreams of the ene my. Allow no apathy to cool your zeal, and cherish no feeling of personal sp!cen on my account. Our cause is far above mere individual interests and individual a:mbi- tions. Let us, then, be true te ourselvesand secure the imperishable honor and undying satisfuction of having done our duty; Let us go to the polls in November and vote thc ticket —Haneock, Jurvis, Armfield, ali—and in no grudging spirit. Let us elect them handsomely, triumphantly ; yes, and morti- mented with trees and shrubbery.

I denounce this as a base fabrication and slander. To on some occasion years xgo, now forgotten by me, I said in private conversation, that “the Methodist Church stuck together,” and used a rough metaphor, such as most of _us use sometimes to illustrate the fact, and they allege that by this Lintend to slur.the Meth- odist Church. Such a charge isas base and as false as its authors and circulators, and all who know me know that I am incapable of any such thing. Very many of my warmest friends and most.constant supporters are Methodists. I was brought up inthe Methodist Church. My father and mother lived and died hon- ored and consistent members of that Church. Can you believe that I am capable of want- only wounding my best friends and casting a slur upon the memory of my parents? But the malice of a dying party, struggling in vain to hold its grasp on power and place, stoops to anything and hesitates at nothing. My opponent, Judge Furches, obeying the dictates and carrying out the unmanly pol- icy of his party, declines to meet me before the people in a joint canvass, and persistent efforts are constantly made to prevent Re- publicans from going to hear Democratic the Republicans from the stump, and I doubt not the vile slander will be privately whis- refutation of a baseless calumny. ive color to their slander they make use of the stntement, which is probably true, that} ~ speakers ; so I cannot answer this charge to pered into the car uf hundreds of Democrats who: I shall not meet before the election.

A motion was made to appoint one ex- tra registrar in each township; but when it was ascertained that only one of the township registrars (Locke’s) had asked for an assistant, so that he might have time to go fishing, the Board thought it best to make no appointments. The case of Jones, Gaskill & Co, vs. W. H. Kestler, being again brought to the at- tention of the Board, after due consulta- tion, declared themselves powerless to act, but hold themselves in readiness to do everything possible for the relief of plaintiffs. Several claims were allowed, amount- ing in all to $40.80, when, there being no other business, the meeting adjourned. = : FIRM CHANGES.—Dr. M. A.

Allison of Concord, and Miss Aunie Craige of this city. a Early in the evening the church yard was crowded with spectators, though the ceremony was not to be pdtfermed until nife‘o’clock. Abgut eight o'clock the doors of the church were opened, and the urbane ashers, Drs. John Whitehead and H. T. Trantham, and Messrs. Willie Wiley and Clarence Murphy, seated the audience. Ribbons marked the seats re- served for the invited guests. The chureh was handsomely decorated; an arch of evergeen, spangled with bright flowers overspread the pulpit. In the centre of the arch hung a monograw A. C., wrought in flowers and gold; just under this was swung the merry’ marriage bell —a model of beauty. The pulpit wasa pyramid of floral beauty ; on either side stood Jarge vases filled with floral offer- ings. While the spectators were admir- ing this scene, the organist, Miss Ella Brown, added to their pleasure by render- ing several selections from celebrated Masters. All faces were radiant with joy and expectancy, when, without a mo- went’s warning, the Organ, Cornet, and Slide Trombone struck simultaneously the first notes of the Grand Wedding March in Donizette’s Opera of Lucia di Lamermoore, which had been amplified and arranged for this occasion, by Prof. W.HL. Neave. This was the signal, all eyes were turned to the doors, as the procession moved toward the pulpit. The attendents came in as follows: Miss Susie Robberts and Mr. Frank Goodson ; Miss Lou Young and Mr. John fenderson; Miss Maggie Morehead and Mr. W. W. Overman; Miss Sallie Phifer and Mr. Eli Springs; Miss Lou Phifer and Mr.JH.S. Pueryear; Miss Jennie Coffin and Mr. W. Phifer; Miss Sallie Erwin and Mr. R. H. Phifer. These were fallowed by Lizzie Young and Grace White, Maggie Beall and Nannie Craige; four little girls, who scattered flowers up the isles. Then came the bride, adorned in rich white silk and satin, leaning-on the arm of Mr. Kerr Craige; the groom was attended by Mr. Will Erwing. They stood before the altar 2 moment before the music ceased, form- ing a beautiful and impressive Tableaus; then the pastor, Rev. Mr. Ruiple, rose amid profound silence and performed the solemnand sacred service. Again theswel- ling strains of Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, from Midsaminer vight’s Dream, with Cornet and Trombone, broke the silence, aud the happy couple passed out, receiving congratulations on all sides. Yhe invited guests repaired to Mrs. where they tendered congratulations. On a large table was displayed the bridal presents—the hand- this city ; numbering some fifty odd pieces, all very rich and tasty. It will be impossible in our limited space to describe them, the number and variety forbids it. A table was spread in the dining hall, decorated with flowers and ladened with manner Burton Craige’s, somest collection ever seen in sweetmeats, wines, and all of tropical fruits. The scene here was one of enjoyment; aftercongratulating the bride and groom, and partaking of the hospi- tality, the guests bade good night and qnitted the lively scene to allow’ oth- ers the pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. Allison took the six o'clock train Wednesday morning, and will make an extensive tour through the northern cities. This is said to be most brilliangt affair of the kind that has ever occurred in this phice. Everything was gotten up in che most elegant style, regardless of cost. We wish the bride and groom as pleas- ant a journey through lifeas their happy ceremonials predict. eee The Raliegh News Observer tells of the arrival of an extraordinary traveling “penny-a-liner” correspondent, whose business, it seems, is to write up falsehoods and slanderous utisrepresentious of North Carolina polities to be pulished as sacred truths in the Garfield organs in the North. Yet the North Carolina Republican papers are, no doubt, ready to say this is not done to stir up a sectional feeling. , —- ——+—>-— When you go to cast your vote for Gov- ernor, don’t forget that Judge Buxton en- dorsed Holden’s infamous Kirk war, the darkest of the many black acts of the Republican party in this State. ee ape Tur Wapessoro Farr.—Owing to the nearness, Union—and in fact, all the counties contiguous to and surrounding Anson- -should feel au interest in this agricultural and industrial exhibition, and tend toward making it a success.

Charlotte Observer. While in Albemarle this week we heard ofa most infamous outrage, committed upon a minister of the Methodist Charch, who is well knowu and beloved through- out the bounds of the North Carolina Conferenee, by an Internal revenue officer —one of those infamous scoundrels who having sold their character and princi- ples for official preferment, and thereby having lost the respect of all decent men, have become utterly shameless, and are capable of committing almost any kind of outrage. The facts of the case refer- red to are these: Sometime, ago, during a protracted meeting in the Methedist chureh at Albemarle, the pastot; Rev. C. M. Pepper, was several times: annoyed by unbecoming conduct by one Burnes, a revenue oflicer, stationed at Albemarle. Finally the pastor took occasion to repri- mand Burnes for his misconduet, but without calling any name. ‘This was sev- eral months ago, and it is well known that Burnes knew at the time that the minister referred to him, but he did noth- at all at the time about the matter. On Saturday evening, September 4th, Mr. Pepper, while conversing with some one ou the streets, was approached by Burnes and asked whether the remarks made on the above mentioned oceasion referred to him. Being answered in the affirmative, Burnes said: “You are a God-damned raseal.” Mr. P. quietly re- marked that such language did not hurt him, wherenpon the cowardly olticer struck him upon the cheek, with the palin of his hand, asking at the same time whether that (meaning the blow) would hurt him. He was immediately seized by two parties present, and no further diffi- culty occurred at that time, although he muttered something about abont a pistol- A warrant was soon issued, and Burns was carried before Esquires Green and jAtkinus. On trial he used very ins. 1 ing anguage, among other things calling Mr. P.a “damned liar,” bat he submitted and case came up on last Tuesday, when, al- thongh he was in town, he treated the court with utter contempt, failing to- put in his appearance when called, thus for- feiting his bond of $200. (We learn that he gave as his excuse for not being pres- ent when his ease was called, that he was putting on a clean shirt and the judge who is » republican, excused him.) We reached in the case, bat all that. was ne- ceasary for Burnes to de to get the. case removed to. the Federal Court, which would be equivalent toan acquital, would be to make an affidavit that the ontrage was committed in the discharge of his of= ficial duty, which, we suppose, he could not hesitate to do. ; : We do not. wish to be understvod as de- nouncing all persons engaged in the reve- nue business; we suppose, of course, there are some gentlemen Among. them. But, generally they are.the very scum of crea- tion, the worst characters who can be, ‘picked up by the infamous Radical party. with which to afflict oar people, - It. is not*so much that the people wish te evade the payment ef the internal reve- hue taxes as it is that they object to hav- ing basiness relations with such men as do the business for the department, and all persons who are so afflicted ne déubt congratulate themselves upon the relief which Hancock’s election will bring them, in having gentlemen to deal with.’ ———<—>-_ How they Lie! The Daily Dish of Deception and False- hood Served Up by the Indiana Lepublicans, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2, 1830.—A person living outside of the State of Indiana is wholly ignorant of the maliguant bitter- ness with which the Republicans are fighting the Democrats iu this campaign. They have from the start up to the pres- ent time invented aud industriously cir- culated the most despicable, infamous, aud unmitigated lies ever -concocted in the braiu of men claiming the least res- peetability. They have piuned their faith on carrying Ind-ana or dying. Imported negrees! Money and the bloody shirt! Every minute, every hour, and every day, of the campaign a miserable and contemp'ible lie is concocted and = spread broadcast all over the State. On every train coming. into the State negroes are brought to defeat the free white people outof their rights. From every stump the bloody shirt is unfurled, and the men who follow after Hancock are denounced as “rebels” and “traitors.” Aud into every county in the Stute hundreds of dollars are being sent to corrupt the bon- est masses. Never before iu the history of this country was & people subjected to such vindictive and villiavous abuse as the Democratic party of Indiana are to-day by the party in power. Gen. Haneock does not escape. His bright and uoble deeds in the war for the preserva- tion of the Union are forgotten, aud he is pursued with damnable lies and fiendish hate. Siuce his clear, concise and em- phatic letter, sitting down upon the re- bel claims bugaboo, he has been more abused than ever. ‘The more desperate the cause of the Republicans the more numerous, THEIR WICKKD LIES. Thelie thata new United States Su- preme Court is to be formed; the lie that the rebel war claims are to be paid ; the lie that the negroes are to be again en- slaved; the lie that the business interests of the country will suffer, all if General Hancock is elected, are constantly being told. They lie great and they lie smal’, and they lie big. They tell artistic Hes and bungling lies, malignant lies aud silly lies, bad lies and mean lies, hot lies and cold lies, fat-lies and lean lies, scan- dalous lies and villianous lies, quick lies and slow lies, deliberate lies and passion - ate lies, ignorant lies and contemptible lies. Lying is their stock in trade, the bonanza upon which they cxpect to elect Porter. AT TH" HEADQUARTERS but little can be learned: beyond the boasting usual to partisan headquarters. Each side has, however, made a careful canvass of the State by tewnships, and each furnishes a result claimed to be genuine. The Democrats claimed that these returns give them 60 of the 92 coun- tie$ by majorities that aggregate 30,875 and the Republicans 32 counties by 22,- 800 majority majority —leaving the Dem- cratic net majority 14,000. a Republicans claim 47 counties out of the 92, by majorities aggregating 30,875. and give the Democrats 48 counties by 22,800 leaving a net Republican majori- ty of 8,075. This a narrow margiu ina poll of about 500,000. The Cincinnati Enquirer, which has outsped all the papers in enterprise, has made a canvass of the State by its local correspondents, and shows up that in 4 townships of the 1,123 the Deimo- crats have gained 2,097 on the vote of 1878 aud the Republicans 1,550, and that the Democrats have lost 1,016, while the Republicans have lost 1,433. At this rate of increase and decrease throughout the State the Democratic majority would be 12,500.The most striking result of the En- quirer’s estimate was that the greenback vote will reach 40,000 this year,ifthe loeali- ties canvassed are samples of the whole State. This result will astound both sides and help the Democrats. SOO Oe A special recently sent to the New York Times, from Richmond, Va., asserts that thousands of the negro voters of that State will, “of their own aceord,” cast their Court, and his} do net -know what final decision waa). 19 votes, ten of the Salisbury delegates voted against me inthe County _Conven- tion, contrary tothe deelared will of ‘the Democratic voters of the Township as ex- pressed at the ballot*box. I was better entitled to the nomination than Frank Brown, who carried 32 electoral votes, or than J. L. Graeber, who carried 29. If twenty-nine Electoral votes are deemed sufficient to nominate a candidate, and thirty-three are.not, thén party conven- ‘tions are a sham and a farce, and oaght not to' be allowed to’ exiat any longer. The ter delegates from Salisbury ‘Town- ship in voting against my nomination in the County Convention, openly and no- toriously violated the expressed wishes -of their constituents. 1 leave it to all fzirfminded men tosay whether these del- egates had any ], political or moral right to betray aud disregard the declar- ed will of the Democraticgvoters of the Township, who tot only elected them to be Delegates, but -also instructed them positively and unequivocally, to cast the vote of the ‘Township for me and not fagainst me.. The Convention voted by Townships, and every Township obeyed instructions except Salisbury. By what authority did the Salisbury delegates cast the vote of the Township contrary to the wishes of their constituents? Those del- egates represented the Democratic vote of Salisbury township—and nobody elsc— and yet they claimed the right to vote their individaal sentiments, and not the wishes of the Democratic voters of the Township whom alone they represented or had authority to represent. I appeal the people of Rowan County to set ‘the seal of condemnation upon a system of Returning board” tactics which has not hitherto been able to find standing room, inuch less a home on North Carolina soil!

If that elephant hits any of you all, PII not be respon- sible for it,” cried John King, the keeper of the elephants in John Rob- jnson’s show, just after he had _ got- ten the male elephant out of the car about 8 o’clock fast night. The car ep which this elephant, the largest of the three, called “Chief,” had been brought from Concord, was stand- ing just above the Trade street cross- jog afd a large crowd bad gathered around to watch the process of un- loading. Immediately after giving this waruing to the bystanders, John King a powerfully built man, step- ped around to “Chief’s” head and was in the act of turving him around when the crowd heard him call the elephant by name¢n a frightened tone, and the next moment they saw the enraged animal turn upon his keeper and crush him against the car. King sank to the ground without a groan an.l the men who were with him fled precipitately, The crowd scat- tered up Trade street and the wildest confusion followed. The men were afraid to approach the infuriated ani- mal, and King was allowed to re- main for several minutes on the ground where he had fallen, The elephant surveyed the scene for an jnstant, gave a short snort and start- ed ata brisk pace up the railroad track. As soon as he was out of reach King was picked up apparently lifeless, and conveyed across the strect to Ferry Morelead’s barber shop, where several doctors were summoned. In the meantime the elephant kept on up the track, and the report get- ting abroad that be was loose in the streets, the excitement increased. The crowd which first collected about the crossing and the door of the shop into which King had_ been ‘carried, scattered up the street, and all sorts of reports were afloat, no one being able, on account of the darkness, to determine the whereabouts of the elephant. It was suggested that a party be organized to start in pursuit with the view of shooting him, but before any plans could be formed it was learned that the circus men were after him and would no doubt sue- ceed in capturing him. To do this they had to take with them “Mary,” the female elephant, and ‘the Boy.” “Chief” bad turned up Fifth street, on arriving at the crossing and the other elephants were driven rapidly after him. On .arriving at Tryon street, he stepped for a moment and then weut directly across to Church street where he waa with some diffi- culty secured by being chained to the other elephants. The three were then driven down Tryon street towards the point whence they had start- ed, followed by a crowd doubtless as large as and certainly more excited than that which will witness the pro- cession to-day. ( The animals moved along quietly until they arrived at the mgrket house when there was a united “movement towards the pump. An ‘attempt was made to drive them on, but they re- fused to go, and the expedient of al- lowing thennto drink was resorted to. In the movements about the pamp the chains became entangled, and the three began to move round and drawing them gradually togeth- er. “Chief’s” temper aroused and he began.te bellow. The wild, weird noise threw panic into crewd and there was a confused re- treat. Finally, by the vigorous use of goads and pitchforks, the three elephants were made to take their respective places and the slow move- ment towards the tents was continued. At last they were gotten there and securely fastened, but the excitement continued for au jour afterwards, A half hour after the accident to King, a reporter gained admittance tothe barber shop where he found the keeper stretched upon a door, with Drs. McAdden, O’ Donohue and Gatchell, around him, dressing a wound in his head. He was breath- ing with difficulty and his face was swollen and blackened, He had all the appearance of a dead man, but for the jerking movement of his body ‘ caused by his painful efforts to breathe. His skull was crushed and although there was apparently no _ possible hope for his recoyery, the ‘physicians were resorting to every cx- pedient to save him. subdue him. was again Jobn King for years. He was the keeper of the animals: and nobody ain’t said he was ever afraid of any of them. “Chief” was his pet and he could do more with him than any one else. He wasa brave fellow, but reckless. He wouldn’t be dying now if“Mary” had been there. She’d a knocked “Chief” down: she always You wasn’t there to see her take after him when she knowed he’d killed. Mr. King “Mary” is as gentle as a lamb, and so is “the boy,” but “Chief” is always vicious. They don’t take him around on the parade.” King lingered ‘until about 11 o'clock, when hs died. burried this afternoon after the circus performance. Mr. Lowlow, the well known clown, was scen afterwards. He said that King was somewhat to blame for the vicjousness as he never would consent to any violent measures to Mr. Lowlow said they bad several other men in the show who could take care of him.

The dog was run over and killed. The engi- neer observed that the animal crouch- ed close to the ground as he was struck by the ceweatcher, A minute later the fireman saw a bit uf muslin flutter- ing on the locomotive, and he stopped the engine. On going back to where the dog was killed it was discovered that not only the dog but a child had been killed. It was then seen that the dog had been standing guard over the child, and had barked to at- tract the attention of the engineer. The faithful animal had sacrificed his life rather than desert his charge. The child had wandered away from a neigh- boring house, followed by the dog, and it is supposed that the child lay down and weat to sleep on the track.” A le tion and th eed te the woeid: for Bright's D sauer me and ALL Hidney, Liver ana Ba>-Testimonials of the high rd Pate verry e highest order In proof @@For the cure of Dinbet call fi aun ita @@-For the cure of Bright's and the other , call for Warner’s Safe Kiducy diseases and Liver 5 ka’ Warner's Safe Reme- dies are sold by Druggists nd ers a in Medicine everywhere. oe “ ° | A By, So awe jig ackeye — ous DES cms AYD SPERMATCREHTA, A valuable Disecvery and New Departure tn Mad. ond Sctence, an entirely New and positively silvctiva Remedy tor the apeedy and permanent Cure of Semi- nal Emissions and Impotency hy the only trus way, viz: Direct Application tothe priacipa! seat of tho Disease, acting by Absorpticn, and oxertiog its specific iatuencs cn tne Seminal Vesiclae, jac- ulatory Ducts, Prostate Gland, and Urethra, Tha nee of tue Remedy is attended with no pain or tneon- venience, 20d duos not interfere with tbe ordinary pursctts of life; it {3 quickly dissolved 2nd soon ab- sorted, ucing a2 immediato sootbing und restor- ative effect upon tuo soxual aod rervous organiza tions wrecked from self-abuse and excesses, stopping the drain from the system, restoring the »osind to health and sound memory, removing the Dimness of Sight, Nervous Debility, Confusion of Ideas, Aversion to Society, ete., etc., and the appearance of premature o!d age usually accompanyiog this trouble, and restoring perfoct Sexual Pigor, whore it has been dormant for years.

In this case, this is the only question that presents itself, and believing this measure to be for the best interests of the people and of the State, I shall give it my earnest sup- port, if it costs me every vote in the State.” Said Mr. Ruffin, “Since that hour I have been a warm advocate of Governor Jarvis and of his election.” —Raletgh Observer. moe Is there a Seerct Coalition? We print elsewhere a curious fetter from Mr. Lum one of the secretaries Labor Committee, to Mr. Murch, the chair- man of that committee. Mr. Lum not to put too fine a point on it, asserts that General Weaver, the Greenback candidate for the Presidency, is no more than the hired agent of the Republicans and is prosecuting his so-called canvass under their diree- tions and for their benefit. He adds that the treasuer of the Greenback Committee is in intimate political rela- tions with the secretary of the Repub- lican National Committee and with Senator Jones, of Nevada; that Gen- eral Weaver has had his campaign expenses paid by the Republica com- mittee; that he, Mr. Lam, has tele- grams from the Republican commit- tee showing these and other facts, and that the Republicans have cajoled Weaver witha promise or under- standing that in case the October elections should go heavily Demo- cratic they will withdraw the Re- publican electoral tickets in West Virginia, Missouri, Texas and Mis- sissippi in his favor, with the object of throwing the election into the House, where they prupose, says Mr. Lum, to support Weaver and thus defeat General Hancock. gard the Southern people as equal in the Union.—Address of the Southern | Republicans, | In short, he asserts that General party tothe Republicans; for what might be called a remotely contingent chance of getting their help: for him- self.

The Constitutional Amendments. Our friends should not lose sight of the important constitutional amendments which are to be submitted to the popu- lar vote at the coming election. The first in importance relates to the pay- ment of the special tax bonds and other bonds of similar character passed by the carpet-bagger government. In effect it provides that no bonds not recognized in the funding acts shall be paid or recog- nized by the Legislature unless the mat- ter shall first be submitted to the peo- ple for an expression of their will in the premises. This is «a Democratic measure, and we hope it will command the support of the party. The other amendment, in brief, al- lows the Legislature to require that per- sons with ample fortune, who become in- mates of the Insane Ayslum or the In- stitution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, shall pay for their board and attention. It does not require that the Legislature ! shall make this requirement, but merely authorizes the Legislature to make the ‘change if the representatives of the peo- ple shall hereafter deem that best. These amendments ought to be dis- cussed and explained on the stamp, and we call attention to them, trusting that they will receive favorablo comment.— Raleigh News and Observer. ee Jere Black on Garfield. Judge Black, not being able to attend the grand jubilee at New York, wrote : letter, of which the following is a part: The impulses of personal friendship and the duties of fair political opposi- tion, alike require me to speak of Gen- eral Garticld. Intellectually he is. first among the politiciaus of his party—unot the sharpest nor the strongest, but the most gifted and best cultivated. His private life is stainless, and in’ every- thing unconnected with politics his be- havior is regulated by principles of the soundest morality. But in public affairs he does not act upon his convictions ; when he passes into the domain of poli- tics his conscience loses its grip: and for his party he is willing to do any wroug which will promote their interests, or play any card, how false soever, which will wiu them power. This surrender of his moral and mental integrity is the condition upon which he holds his high piace in the affections of the party he be- longs to. Treachery to his country is fidelity to his faction. If at any time within the last fifteen years he had given way to his own sense of right, supported the constitution and laws in a spirit of pure justice, refused to defile himself with election frauds, withheld his coun- tenance from executive corruption or de- nounced the forcible instalment of thieves in State offices, he would have converted himself intoa Democrat and been ex- pelled from the communion of the anti- constitutional party. This moral prostitution to bad political purposes is far from being uncommon. Men naturally good have yielded to it in all times and in all countries where there is a party unprincipled enough to domand it and strong enough te reward it. But General Gartield’s public career furnishes more striking examples of it than the history of any individual I have kuown. ee huree Twenty-Nine. (The New York Sun.)

Repfiublicans Discover that it is No Dress Parade Contest. The hand .that was shown in Maine has been laid bare here. It has long been-sus- pected and is now known that a gigantic still hunt is in progress on the part of the Democrats throughout the State. The Dem- ocratic meetings are outnumbered five to one by the Republicans all over the State, and the Republicans have three orators on the list where the Democrats have one. This apparent show of strength has misled a great many persons, who believed that the Dem- ocrats had abandoned Ohio and turned their attention to better paying fields. On Wednesday last. Theodore Cook, one of the wealthy citizens of Cincinnati, visited Co- lumbus with a contribution of $25,000, furn- Jshed in five equal amounts by himself, Thomas Shelock, W. 8. Groesbeck, George Hoadly and one other gentleman. This money is to be expended in the first, second third and fourth congressional districts. Wealthy Democrats of other portions of the State are expected to make corresponding contributions, and thus the State is to be carried for Hancock and English and Dem- ocrats are to be elected frem the four close districts named.— New York Times. ee WEAVER A TRAITOR TO THE GREEN- BACK CavusE.—That James Bb. Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President, is a traiter to the Greenback cause and has been upon the stump in this.canvass noth- ing but a hireling of the Republican Na- tional Committee, has long been evident to every man of political intelligence in the country. No proofs beyond his public course were necded to establish the fact. Still, the letter of Dr. Lum, the Assistant Secretary of the Greenback National Com- mittee, given in partin our telegraphie. columns to-day, is interesting. Dr. Lum’s evidence and strictures, addressed to the chairman of the committe, Congressman Murch, of Maine, whose defeat Weaver sought to accomplish by his visit to that State before the election there, will open the eyes of such members of the Green- back party as have heretofore been delud- ed by Weaver. This man Weaver is native and long time resident of Dayton, O., and a cousin of James A. Garfield. Heis a Republican disguised as a Greenbacker and nothing else. He has been a Republican oftice- holder under the State government of Iowa, where he now resides, and was for six years and until the office was abolish- ed, Assessor of Internal Revenues for the first district of Iewa under the Republi- ean federal administration.— Rochester and Advertiser. The Examiner. OUR STATE TICKET. Hfon. Thos. J. Jarvis, who heads our State ticket, and is our candidate tor Governor, has made a_ pretty thorough canvass of the State. Everywhere he has been, everywhere he has spoken, the people have given him a quiet but warm reception. He is not a man of great dash, but of great ability. But a few years age a poor plow boy, earning a small pittance and giving that for books to educate himself, he is now, by his own efforts, the chief executive officer of our noble old State. For two years he has filled this high and respousible position in such a manner as to reflect marked credit upon our entire people and upon himself, and does honor, as well, to the great men who have preceded jiim. Quiet and unassuming, he has discharged the high trusts imposed with such sys- tematic impartiality and fidelity, that we doubt whether we every had a better gov- ernor. <All good citizens concede this much. Then, shonld we not feel proud to have it in our power to keep him in that position ? North Carolinians will do it.*They will give him a larger vote than has ever been polled by any man in this State before. Others on the ticket with him are worthy men, and they will be equally sustained, It is the solemn duty of North Carolinians to do this, and we know they never flinch or swerve from the path when duty points at the way. ey Senn GARFIELD AND GEN. SureLps.—There was a bill introduced in the Forty-fifth Con- gress authorizing the president to appoint James Shields a brigadier-general in the United States army, on the retired list, with rank and pay from and after the passage of the act. General Shields was then without means of support, and so broken hy disease contracted in the service of his country-in the field, and so enfvebled by his age and in- firmity that his Democratic friends in Con- gress resolved to do a last act of simple jus- tice by placing him on the retired list of the army, and thus provide a dying veteraq with food and shelter. It was an extreme case,-and the dictates of humanity, to say nothing of the acknowledged services of the grand old hero during a long and brilliant career in the field, would scem to justify any proper measure of relief. Gencral Shields was then nearing his grave, dying only a few wonths afterwards in great poverty. He was not only a soldier of honorable fame, but a Democratic states- man of great ability and unsullied patriot- ism, having served as Senator in Congress from three different states of the union. When the vote was taken on a motion to suspend the rules and pass this bill, the yeas were 112 and the nays 55. To the surprise of every lover of justice in the House James A. Garfield yoted nay.— Trey Press. That ‘sterling paper, the Charlotte Observer, well says: - 2 “To be plain and candid, it is our duty to remark that the danger of the Demo- ‘cratic party in North Carolina is over- contidence. Be not deceived. - Over-con- fidenee begets apathy. Apathy begets demoralization. That encourages the enemy and makes bold and desperate leader's out of cowards. ““Over-confidence is fatal to party suc- cess. It is fatal to party organization. It is fatal-to party diseipline. Be not deceived. The Republican party is a desperate and corrupt party. The still- hunt campaign in North Carotiua is a feint.” We are now entering on the last month of the canvass, and could wish that our friends in every township would awake toa realizing sense of their full duty in the campaign. We choose to put it after this fashion : _ Suppose that on November the third our friends should find that. because of + their want of vitality, we had lost. Then it would be too late to remedy matters. | But what would be their feeling on com- prehending that failure, disaster and ig- nominions defeat had resulted from their lethargy and supineness. Instead of bon- fires and the booming of cannon and universal rejoicing among our friends, there would go up a wail of woe and de- spondency, and it would be conpled with an upbraiding of our own selves, because we had thrown away our opportunity recklessly, needlessly and criminally. Let us avert tuch a catastrophe; the way to do it is for every man to put his shoul- der to the wheel and help the good cause along now while there is time. ‘ oS To elect a Republican President at a public calamity of the gravest char- acter.—Address of the Southern Re- publicans. ST PENS Le MISCELLANEOUS. Courage. If I werea boy again I would strive to become a fearless person. I would cultivate courage as one of the high- est achievements of life. “Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing is so cruel and vindictive as coward- ice,” says the wise authors of a late essay on conduct. Too many of us nowadays are overcome by fancied lions in the way, lions that never ex- ist out of our own brains. Nothing is so credulous as fear. Some weak- minded horses are forever looking around for white stones to shy at, and if we are hunting for terrors they will be sure to turn up in some shape or other. Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for any fate and there is no harm to be feared. Achilles, you re- member, was said to be invulnerable, but he never went into battle without being completely armed.—James T. Fields. TEE OO Some Rten’s Wives. Three men of wealth meeting not long since in New York, the conver- sation turned upon their wives In- stead of finding fault with women in general, and their wives in particular, each one obeyed the wise man’s ad- vice, -and gave honor unto his wife. “TI tell you what it is,” said one of the men, “they may say what they please about the uselessness of modern women, but my wife has done her share in securing our success in life. “Every body knows that her fami- ly was aristocratic, and exclusive and all that, and when I married her she had never done a day’s work in her life; but when W. & Co. failed, and I had to commence at the foot of the hill again, she discharged the servants and chose out a neat cottage, and did her own housekeeping until I was better off again.” “Aud my wife,” said a second, “was an only daughter, caressed and petted to death ; and everybody said, “Well, if he will marry a doll like that, he’l] make the greatest mistake of his life ;” but when I came home the first year of our marriage, sick with the fever, she nursed me back to health, and I never knew her to murmur because I thougth we couldn’t afford any better style or more luxuries.” “Well, gentlemen,” chimed in a third,‘I married a smart, healthy,'pret- ty girl, but she was a regular blue- stocking. She adored Tennyson, do- ted on Byron, read Emerson, and named the first baby Ralph Waldo and the second Maud; but I tell you what ’tis,” and the speaker’s eyes grew suspiciously moist, “when we laid lit- tle Maud in her Jast bed at Auburn my poor wife had no remembrances of neglect or stinted motherly care and the Jittle dresses that still lie in the locked drawer were all made by her own hands.” this time by a sectional vote would be [ Newly Married Couples, It is the happiest and most virta- ous state of society in which the huse band and wife set out together, make their property together, and with per- fect sympathy of soul, graduate all their expenses, plans, calculations and desires with reference to their present _ mon interest. enter the neat little tenement of: the — young people who, within | WC or three years, without any resources a their own knowledge of industry, _ ve joined heart and hand, andene . gaged to.share together the responaie bilities, duties, interest, trials ® pleasures of life. The industrious wife is cheerfully employing her hands in domestic duties, putting her house in order or mending her husbandsclothes, . or preparing dinner, while perhaps the ~ little darling sits prattling on the floor — or lies sleeping in the cradle, and ey- erything seems preparing to welcome the happiest of husbands and the best of fathers when he shall come home from his toil to enjoy the sweets of . his little paradise. This is true domestic pleasure. Health, contentment, love, abundance and bright prospects are all here. But it has become a prevalent sentiment that a man must acquire his fortune before he marries ; that the wife must have no sympathy nor share with him in the pursuit of it—in which most of the pleasure truly consists—and the young married people mast set out with as large and expensive an establishment as is becoming those who have been wedded for twenty — years. This is very unhappy ; it fills the community with bachelors, who are waiting to make their fortunes, en- dangering virtue, promoting vice ;.it destroys the true ecepomy aud design of the domestic institution, and it promotes inefficiency among females, who are expecting to be taken up by fortune and passively sustained with- out any care or concern on their part, and thus mdny a wife becomes, as a gentleman once remarked, not a “help- mate,” but a “hel pbeat.”-- Golden Age, Death of A. J. Partin, Esq. Mr. Andrew J. Partin, chief clerk in the Auditor’s office died at 41 o’clock last night, after an illness. of ten minutes. He went home to sugr per in perfect health and read to bis. family after tea. He felta slight oppression in the chest, and, it be- coming worse, a physician was sent for. The doctor had been at the house but a few moments when Mr. Partin. died. The cause of thedeath was supposed to be§disease of the heart. Mr. Partin was an admirable gentle- man, and held in the highest esteem by people in every part of the State. He had in his public and ,rivate life always been noted for intelligence, honesty and attention to his duties. Mr. Partin was born in Chester-. field county, Va., in 1826, and was in his 64th year. He came to this . city in 1851, and engaged extensive- ly in business. In 1855 he married here. In 1868 he became chief clerk of the Auditor’s office. This position | he has filled with marked ability ever since, save during Auditor Reilley’s term. He was mewnber of the First Methodist church, and was a devout and earnest Christian.

When necessary the troughs can be raised: or lowered to any desired height within the car.

Hopelessly in bondage to England she can never win relief by an appeal to arms. . oe FURCHES AND RAMSAY AT BOONE, A friend who was at Boone when Judge Farches sud Dr. Ramsay drew up there in a shabby buggy and with a sorry team on a political pilgrimage among the mountains, says it was the funniest in- cident of his summer sojourn in the “land of the sky.” These geutlemen, the Re- jean candidates, were strangers at Boone, and the natives, suspecting that they were bloated revenuers, stood off and would have vothing to say to them. Finally the Doctor introduced himself to a small crowd gathered at Coffee's hotel, where he and the Judge were stopping. Baid he, to the crowd, Iam Dr. Ramsay, the Republican elector. No one answer- edhim. He squirmed a little and then satd—Judge Furches, candidate for Con- gress, isin the house. Still no one an- swered him, or showed any signs of joy pr sorrow. He squirmed a little more, and walked up and down the piazzaa time or two, while winks were passing be- tween the crowd. Ile rallied again and ingiured for one Green, who was a Radi- eal bell weather in Watauga; but Green was not in town.

It is also: plainly seen in the course of Bingham aud his engineer, Price. They are a trio who hinve set oul to bully the freemen of Row- an into the support ef aman whom the people do not waut—a man ¢whom . two years ago they sigually rejected : whom, on the 2ist of August last, they defeated a second time, and that too, after he had spent mouths in artfully arranging the political machinery of the county in his own favor. These are the active agents ofa ring with beadquarters at Bingham’s Gro- cery, Whom, if we were to jadge by their past record, ouly need success in this can- vass to insure the introduction of new and startling principles of county govern- ment. The sheriff would become a polit- ical officer, and would use his office to constrain every man, as far as possible, willing or unwilling, to support cockade Democracy. They would manage all the appointments in the county—township comnittees, registrars, magistrates, coun- ty commissioners aud judges of election, making them all tire-eating Democrats. And what could not be accomplished by the seizure of the political machinery of the county, nor by fraudulent votes, would be sought in any other way open to the exercise of trickery, or the use of bribe liquor. Are the Conservative Dem- ocrats of the county willing that this fac- tion shall crush them oat? They consti- tute the truly patriotic element of the Democratic party of the county. Patri- otism in its proper sense is homage tu God; but not with fairness and justice trampled under foot. , i Hon. Wm. M. Rospsins was recently at Wilmington, and addressed the people, mak- ing, as he always does, a fine impression on a those whoheard him. Someone writing to the Raleigh Observer, says: “Your cor- respondent takes it that Maj. Robbins has left a very fine impression with the good people of the Cape Fear, and they will most assuredly look forward to the future promo- tion of so able, so open a representative of the people, who, while in Congress, unsel- fishly exerted his whole influence in her be- half; but he had looked upon our bar and river improvement as an undertaking which would net benefit the people of Wilmington only but would be of untold value to the whole of North Carolina.” a INDIANA ELECTION. 1320 Precincts.

Bringle, in theint-rest of C.F. Wazgoner, -the Democratic candidate for Sheriff. We redeem that promise this week as will be seen by the lettersof Mr. C. H. MeKenuzie, and Mr. ‘I. J. Sumner. It will be seen that the conversation be- tween Bringle and McKenzie, js of no pub- lie significance whatever, and only con- cerned them individually. And it is plainly discernable that McKenzie did pot pretend, even, that he had any right to pledge the Democratic party to any- thing, and it is simply absurd and ridicu- Jous to suppose that he would undertake go do'what he nor any other man could go, If Birrgls understood the matter differently, it was only beeause from habit he has been accustofhed to pledge his negro followers, whom he regards as West Virginia is Democratic by 10,000 or 12,000. 8 These reports of the Indiana election are a surprise to the Democrats of this section. We were led to expect avery different result by the best authority in that State, notwithstanding all the pow- erof money that was brought to bear igainst the Democrats.

An Active and Determined Movement—An Organization with 175 Names— Magnifi- cent Speech from Senator Vance. There was more life in politics in the @ity last night than has been manifested | since the campaign began. The Young Men’s Democratic club which has been in process of formation for the past few days met in the armory of the Hornets’ Nest Riflemen aud orgauvized with flying colors. Several hundred Democrats were present, including many members of the present Hancock and Jarvis club, to give their countenance and aid to the-move- ment. Capt. C. E. Grier presided over the temporary organization, and the club, having evrolled a hundred and seventy- five names, effected a permanent organi- ization by electing Capt. E. J. Allen president, Jno. G, Young secretary and P. C. Wilson treasnrer. At this juncture in the proceedings, it was announced that Senator Vance would and the public generally at the court house andthe club adjourned to that at the armory to-night for the purpose of further perfecting the organization. SENATOR VANCE'S SPEECTI The court house was jammed _ to hear lour distinguished Senator and citizen. Before the arrival of the committee which had been sent to inform him that the club was awaiting his appearance, Col. Wm. Sohnston was calledand madea short address, especially dwelling on the impor- tance of attending to registration. As he was concluding, Senator Vance entered amid wild cheers. His appearance on the stand was again giceted with ashout. He was suffering from hoarseness, and was not in good condition, but in a quiet way delivered the most entertaining, effective and convincing speech that has been heard here during the eam- paign. He spoke two hours, improving | in voice aud becoming more vigorous as | he proceeded. Beginging with an inei- dental reference to. the recent celebra- | tion at King’s Mountain, he showed the work before the young Democracy of the country was searcely less important | in the present crisis than that which was accomplished by the heroesin that strag- gle; they fought to establish the govern ment under which we live; we are now | called upon to preserve it in its parity and resist every effort to change its form or corrupt its adu:lnistration. Urging the necessity of a frequent recurrence to first principles, he showed briefly and gtaphically how these first: principles of our govetiment had been obtained, seme of them having recived the sanction of God himself inthe laws given to the children of Isracl, aud all of them garh- | ered from sources almost as old and. venerable as the earth itself. They were briefly enumerated and, explained—the right of the to their rulers, the right of trial by jury, the wit of habeus corpas, freedom of speech, fio e- dom of the press. He then illustrated bow the Republican party, silently, iusidioss- ly, meanly, covertly attempted tg destroy them, and were now attomptiug it again. There were none of these great) underly- ing principles of the constitution ic had not violated—he it often and had never been contradicted —and he proceeded to show it, taking up the eardi- nal principles one by one and drawing | many of the Hustrations from oceurren- ces in this State. stance of direct encroachment upon per- governed select had said A conspicuous in- | sonal rights was given in the case of the.

While onthe subject of the Federal courts he quoted-the remark of Matt Car- penter, who had said in the Senate of the United States that there trial by jury in the Federal Courts siuce the war, for the jury was not a jury, but a packed crew of “loyal” men chosen by | the clerk of the court. And, said the speaker, notwithstanding murders have been committed by Federal officers, not | one had been punished, for their cases | were carried to the Federal Court and there they managed to elude justice. | Phe injustice and oppression of the force | laws was explained and illustrated with | peculiar etfect, and the picture which | the speaker drew of the old method of | voting— plug hats covered with red ban- | danas for ballot boxes, was éspecially | effective. Roman Senators sitting in their ivory chair. awaiting the invasion of the Gauls never showed than these judges. the rights of | | had vot been a a more raw dignity Here followed a clear statement of the efforts of the Democrats in Congress to change the clection laws, and of the fail- ure ou aceount of the veto of the Presi- dent whose only apparent objection to the last Lill) presented by was the provision requiring supervisors should be men of known good aud upright character. But, said the speaker, these bills will be signed, and by a man of the name of Hancock. {Loud applause.| To told him) on Gov- ernow’s Istand the other day that as chair- man of the committee on enrolled bills it would be my duty to earry the bills to him to sign, and I was certainly going to bring that one, and he said, well, bring is on. Mr. Bayard that the The remainder of the speech was de- voted to Republican corruption, the vuotable instances being given, and to an illustration of the connection of Garfield with all these; the charges of bribery and corruption against Garfield, to his counection with the seating of Hayes, and to Lis bitterness towards the Seuth. The bloody shirt and sectional nature of address the club | place, having preyiously agreed to meet : r speech sounding the kes note was pronounced. one of the most bitter that had been in any campaign. — The prospect was bright for Democra- cy, said the speaker, the only flaw being ino Virginia, but he now bad reason to hope that even these difficulties might be adjusted. He was glad to see that the young meu of Charlotte had taken hold of the present canvass in serious earnest. With proper work here and elsewhere there would be sucha victory as would bary Republicanism out of sigit. Senator Vance concluded with a strong appeal for the State ticket, which mast be deferred for another time, When he finished, amid applause some one called for three cheers for Vance, and they wese given with wild enthusiasm. ~~ WASHINGTON AND GARFIELD. =“ We ree buke the theories of Mr. Garfield,” said Horatio Seymour on Friday evening “with words taken from the Farewell Address of Washington.” If Washington's words rebuke Gar- ‘field’s theories, how much more does Washington’s life revuke Garfield’s prac- tices !

PREPARED ESPECIALLY GROWTH WHEAT GRASS TO PROMOTE CLOVER, ESTABLISHED 1865. tot We again offer this first-class Fertilizer to Wheat Growers as being in all respects, worthy of their patronage It has stood the test for fe /re year’s use among us and has been brought to its present admirable condition only by the liberal expenditure of labor and money in a continuous effort to improve. Its standard and uniformity are guaral- teed. : : The result of its application to the wheat crop for the past twelve years has proved it to be equal to any fertilizer ever sold in the United Staies. During this time thousands of tons of it have been used by the farmers of Virginia and North Carolina with highly satisfactory results. We recommend it because: It is rich in Soluble Phosphate and Ammonia. It affords a constant supply of piant food. It contains no inert matter. It insures a stand of grass or clover. It is an improver and renovator of worn out lands. It is fine, dry, and in the best condition for diiiling. ~ -It contains an ample quantity of all the elements necessary to make wheat, and a large surplus which will show its2if upon the clover and grass, and in the improvement of the land. It is preparcd from the best and most approved materials, inthe most careful and thorough manner, and under our personal supervision. Its standard and uniformity are guaranteed, Whatever may be the merits of other fertilizers, no one can go wrong in using one which is so well male, is so fully guaranteed, and has been so long and so thoroughly tested. r i APPLICATION. We recon nend the application of from LOO to BOO pounds per acre—drilled in with thewhest if practicab!e. If the drill is not used, the land should be ploughed and harrewed until fine and free from clods, and the wheat and guano hzrrowcd in, following with the roller. Tuis mixes the manure with the soll, and keeps it near the surface just where the roots of the wheat wil! find it easiest. When sowed @D land ploughed but not harrowed, 1nuch of the guano goes down inthe opening between the furrow slices, and does little or no good. .

Steele, Drak Strs:—I have duly received your invitation to attend and address the peo- ple of Rowan county at Mt. Vernon on the 13th inst., on behalf of Genl. Haucock and Govr. English, the candidates for President and Vice President. I regret that important professional en- gagements will deprive me of the pleasure of complying with your request. We have | feel assured every reason to rejoice in the coutident belief, that the nominees of the Democratic party for President and Viee President will not on- ly be triumphantly eleeted, as were our nominees for those offices in 1376, but will also be installed into their offices in spite of “the fears of the timid and follies © the wise.” “This isa consumation most devout- edly to be prayed for” not only by the Democrats, but by all who want to see our government’s action once more con- trolled by the paramount law of the con- stitution ; and “an era of good feeling” between the sections instead of keeping alive the fiery passions and bitter hatred that produced the Jate war; and an_hon- est and economical Jeffersonian adminis- tration for the benefit of the people at large and not for fattening au office-hold- ing oligarchy by excessive taxes wrung from an overburdened people. Yours truly, J. M. CLEMENT. Committee. pe tanienpaneea deere ‘ J “2 om aa 3 te AS as Bod The County canvass opened last Mon- day, at Franklin. “Speechés were made by J. A. Williamson, L. s. ‘Overman, Frank Brown, W. C. Rose, J. L. Graber, Cc. ‘F.. Waggoner, G. A. Bingham, D. L Bringle, Martin Richwine and Capt. Chas. Price. Wo éannot religarse here what was said by all these speakers, but will touch each briefly. The people, a small. but enthusiastic crowd, were mach pleased with Mr. Wi'- liamson’s talk. Overman was enthusias- tic and answered the questions put by D. L. Bringle, promptly and satisfactorily. Frank Brown, Esq., introduced his bash- ful opponent, Mr. Rose, to the amusement of the audience. Mr. Rose followed Mr. Brown and said that he was no speaker ; that he had never made a speech, and that he never expect to make one ; and that he was from what they call “Euich” (Enochville.) He was selected by the Rad- ical supplying committee to take the place of J. M. McCorkle, Esq., who was ad- vanced as a candidate for the Senate. Mr. J. L. Graeber then made a speec! , probably the lougest of the oceasiun. He is not a politician, but states his points in an honest, straight forward way. His speech was applauded. At the close, however, some gentleman called to know how he stood as to the sheriff question. Was he a Bingham or a Waggoner man 4 Mr Graeber replied that there were men of ability on both sides, and better politicians than he, who were divided on that question, and he did not think it al- together right that he should be called on to sit in judgment ou the matter. Not- withstanding, he was pressed to give his individual position, which he declined to do. While taking his seat, exclamations were heard iu various parts of the audi- auce, like this: “I won’t vote for him—-nor [—nor I,” &c. Some one asked why Mi Frank Brown was not called out befor he left, to which some gentleman replied that he had been questioned in private and was for Bingham. then C.F. Waggonei announced himseifa eandidate for re-election to the oflice ef sheriff, touched ou Mr. Bingham’s claim of the popula vote, so-called, and took his seat. Bingham then took the stand and spread out alot He explained laim to the nomination, denounces he of documents. his ¢ Wagsouer asa bolter, showed how he aad made, as a commissioner, improve: meutin the county administration and wound up by proposing to make an im- provement in the office ef sheriff, if clect- ed. He saw plainly the disorganizing mote in the eyes of Mr. Waggonet’s friends, but was too blind to discover the ruinous veam in the eyes of his friends, who threatened to destroy the whole county dcket by refusing to sapport Mr. Grae- yer Ueeaiise ke would net take sides in HO Suehht quarrei. D. L. Bringle, than whem there is ne more brazen and arregant Republican mexisfence, then spoke. That patroniz- ing g, oilice-sceking smile of his doing good led out service all the while. He was cal as fo the proposition made to him by C. He said that Mr. MeKenzie proposed that if he would get out of the way, that he wonld give him to retain) him I. McKenzie, Esq. 1500 Democratic names Post Master, provided Hancock was ¢lected. He said) that Mr. Me- Kenzie stated that Mr. Waggoner knew nothing of this affair, Mr. McKenzie’s explanation will be seen in this paper. Martin Rielwine then spoke. He said he was raised a blacksmith ; that he could as prove that he was raiscd a blacksmith ; that he knew Zeb, when only 17 years old; that he had adminis- Vance he was tered on the estate of some friend, now long deceased, faithfully and finally that he was a candidate for Register of Deeds. The andieuce was about to leave when some one called ‘for Capt. Price. that if they would give him audience he would make afew remarks. His remarks were very much like those made on_ for- mer occasions. proving—to hs own satis- faction, that Waggoner “and his friends were enemies to. Democratic organization, &e. dulged in by newspaper writers—said he did not intend to be personal; that he could not write newspaper articles, but that he was right, and deticd any man to meet him on the stump, &c. Ile said that these per- sonal flings hurled at him by newspaper writers, fell harmless at his feet—to illus- trate: they were like the “knat on the bull’s horn” or the “louse that tried to shadow the elephant.” Asa natural consequence of this out-burst of originality we felt badly, and especially so, as his audience applauded him. Now this exemplary man isthe cham- pion of the Bingham democracy. This de- mocracy is paraded as the only pure, orga- nized democracy in Rowan. Ue is very much tronbled about the disorganization of the Wageoner men, his politically righteous soul is indignant over that breech, but with what complaisance, sweet composure and smiling approval does he note the action of those democrats whose political forcheads are fair and unclouded, as they cry to Gre- ber, “we will not vote for you,” and those democrats who propose to vote for Bringle, He then spoke cf the personalities tn- and those who have fucl to add to radical bonfires should) Bringle succeed in riding into office on account of this unfortunate disaffection. Iecin see nothing of disor- ganization ia this: He cannot see that the whole county ticket is in danger of Leing wrecked and torn to pieces bysuch unparal- led action! He does not raise his voice and soundtheloud alarum over the action which threatens the total ruin of democ- racy: in this county! no! its all right to allow this unfortunate divide to destroy the harmony and unanimity of the whole party. Oh, consistency ! For ways that are dark, and tricks that ave vain, The Bingham men are very peculiar. The stench of this political rout enness did not reach and effect his delicate nasal organs; nor its pollution bring to his white-washed, litical cheek any blush ef shame. . For our part we are opposed to making s x s a Ile said’ ES Cceiabae beta maa es 3 * ; the other candidates take a quarrel between the candidates for Sheriff —it is wrong and can only breed a wider and more destructive division. .Wecare not for whom Mr. Brown or Mr. Greber--intend to cast their vote in this matter; we intend to vote for them, and earnestly ask that every. man do the same, —_—~- + TO THE PUBLIC. . In the Salisbury Examiner of Saturday, October 9th, Iam represented as being concerned withC.H. McKenzie in a propo- sition to D. L. Bringle, the Republican candidate for Shevilf of Rowan,-to this ef- fect, that if he, Bringle, would withdraw from the race we, McKenzie and myself, would secure for hit the names of 1500 Democrats upon a petition to’ Gen. Han- cock recommending his continnance: in his present office of Post Master. TI do not undertake to give the words of the article referred to, but merely their sab- stance. I had aever heard or even dréamed of any sach a proposition until after it was made public.’ Lhave never felt-the ne- cessity of apy such arrangement to enspre tothe people of Rowan a Democratic Sheviff—the same man, C. F. ‘Waggoner, whom the people of Rowan fer the past fifteen years have honored: wit? impor fidelity in the discharge of ‘very frast repesed in him, have been alike honora- ble to him and them. . I therefore denounce this whole state- ment, so far as Tam concerned, as a Vase fabrication, without the least foundation in trath. In vindicantion of this asser- tion Lrefer to the subjoined certificates of DLL. Bringle and C. H. MeKeuzie, which completely exhonorate me from any and all connection with this transae- tion. T. J.

Bat, said het will get a good inany Democrats.” T answered, never! Bat, if he would “whop” over, (eave the Repablican party, and vote the, Denio- cra ie ticket), | chought he might be able to retain his present position as post mas- ter under Hancock. dfe replied, that he was afraid of Armfield, s : IT promised hitn no namber of Demo- crats as subscribers to any petiGion ; and if what T said conld be ceustrued iuto a promise, it certainly was based upon con- ditions, and yualitied by the words “] think 3” tor 1 desired him to distinctly understand that ouly by tis becoming a Demoerat could he hepe for support tor any position from Democrats. These are the faets, and T leave it to all good citi- zens to adjudge to ine the impropiiety, or “impudence,” if there be any fonnd iu my remarks made as above set torth. Now, Mr. Editor, iere is the las straw at whieh the Bingham party and Bringle are catching to save themselves from sinking.

To the People of Rowan County: Iam the candidate of the Democratic Party for the office of Sheriff. of Rowan County, at the ensuing November Elec- tion. Democratic conventions were held, in cach Towaship, Saturday, the 21st day of Augnst, 1830. At. these conven- tions I carried six Townships out of the eleven. According to the old rule of vot- ing this would have given me the nomi- nation. According to the new plan of or- ganization, adopted by the Central Exec- utive Committee of the County, these siz Townships were entitled to cast 33 Elec- toral votes for unre in the County Conven- tion: Bat although I carried the Town- ship 6f Salisbury by a clear majority of 19 votes, ten of the Salisbury delegates voted against me in.the County Conven- ign, ¢ontrary to the declared will of the Democratic voters of the Township as ex- pressed atthe ballot box. I was better entitled to the nomination than Frank Brown, who carried 32 electoral votes, or than J. L. Graeber, who carried 29. If twenty-nine Electoral votes are deemed sufficient to: nominate a candidate, and thirty-three ave not, then party conyen- tiens are a sham and a farce, and ought not to be allowed to exist any longer. The ten delegates from Salisbury ‘Town- Ship in voting against ny nomination ia the County Convention, openly and no- toriously violated the expressed wishes of their constituents. 1 leave it- to all fairjminded men tosay whother these del- egates had any legal, political or moral right to betray and disregard the declar- ed will of the Democratic§voters of the Township, who not only elected them to be Delegates, but also instructed them positively and unequivocally, to cast the vote of the Township for me and not against me. The Convention voted by Townships, aad every Township obeyed instructious except Salisbury. By what authority did the Salisbury delegates cast the vote of the Township contrary to the wishes of their constituents? Those del- egates represented the Democratic vote of Salisbury towuship—and nobody eise— and yet they claimed the right to vote their individual sentiments, and not the wishes of the Democratic voters of the Township whom aloue they represented or had authority to represent. I appeal the people of Rowan County to set the seal of condemnation upon a system of “Returning board” tactics which has not hitherto been able to find standing room, much less a home on North Carolina soil! Fellow Citizens, I have served you faithiully and conscientiously in the past, and if elected again, I promise to dis- charge the duties of my office as I have always endeavored to do, with malice to- wards none, and with charity for all, without fear, partiality, or prejudice, and with an eye single to the geod of the whole people. Thanking you for your former support and confidence, I beg to subscribe myself, very respectfull, Your obedient servant, C.F. WAGGONER.

Fine Base Sopa, Put ae packaves, for se:@ at + NEELYS, agin Much has been saidYand = much has beea written about Norfolk and its trucking interests. It is a vast inter- est that yearly increases in impor tance. Its history dates from 1842, when on the farm of Bates and Hatch, Jerseymen, located on the Western Branch, early. vegetables for ship- ment were first raised, peas and cu- cumbers were the first articles pro- duced, and since then the cultivation and shipment of vegetables to North- ern markets has steadily progressed until now for a distance of miles on both sides of the river we find a con- tinuous line of truck farms, in fact the whole of Norfolk county may be considered one immense garden farm. Bat the cultivation of truck is not slone confined to Norfold county. It is carried on to a considerable extent in all the contiguous connties, Prin- eess Anne, Nansemond, Elizabeth City county, Warwick, Northhamp- ten and Accomack. Besides the cul- tivation of vegetables for market has to the sound counties of North Carolina, seeking an outlet at Nor- folk, for shipment North. ” The value of immediate truck farm- ing, that is of the productions of the truck farms of Norfolk county, may be estimated as reaching two millions of dollars, as follows: Apples, $36,- 000 ; asparagus, $50,000 ; artichoke, $1,000 ; beans, $120,000 ; beets, $8,- 000 ; sfrawberries, $250,000 ; black- berries, $700; whortleberries, $800 ; raspberries, $800 ; gooseberries, $700; chétries, $1,200 ; cabbage, $180,000 ; citron, $15,000 ; cucumbers, $30,000; cauliflower, $2,800; kale, $36,000 ; lettuce, $12,000; onions, $12,000 ; es, $12,000; pears, $150,000 ; peas, $12,009 ; Irish potatoes, $500,- 000 ; sweet potatoes, $270,000 ; rad- ish, $30,000 ; squash, $10,000; spin-, ach, $5,000 ; tomatoes, $130,900 ; tur- nips, $5,000 ; watermelons, $45,000 ; _ grapes, $10,000; other vegetables, $i5,000—making a total value of one million nine hundred and forty-nine thousand two hundred dollars—a very respectablesum when we consider tha in 1857, according to the information furnished by Mr. G. F. B. Leighton, president of the Horticultural and ‘YPomological Society, in the last spe- cial issue of the Virginian, that there were only about half-dozen different varieties of vegetables shipped ; that in 1868 the report of the Horticul- tural and Pomological Society record- ed only eleven varieties, in the list of vegetables and fruits, with an esti- mated yalue of one million of dollars; that in 1878, the list reached thirty- five varieties with a value of one and a half million of dollars. It was gratifying for the Virginian last year to record the value of the truck crop as reaching $1,751,645.34. It is ad- ditionally gratifying to present the value of the crop of 1880 as within a fraction of two millions of dollars. The great advantage of Norfolk in the matter of truck is its admirable location, asa shipping point. Mr, Leighton has correctly stated it when in his letter the Virginian last year he stated that “no section of our At- lantic coast is so favorably located for reaching the various markets, and none are better supplied with a rapid transportation facilities.’—The great improvement to our roads had great- ly advanced our progress in the cul- tivation of market gardening. We have now splendid shell and well graded roads running in all direc- tions, enabling the trucker to reach the city with his shipments in a short time after he has gathered it from his farm, so that he can place it in the markets of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York next day, at an early hour.—Norfolk Vir- ~~ The Le Conte Pear. THOMASVILLE, Ga., July 14, 1880. I have put myself tosome expense and trouble to run down here and in- vestigate the famous Le Conte pear. Its headquarters, so to speak, are here in Thomas county, and it is attract- ing as much attention in this vicinity ‘as the orange in Florida. A brief resume of the history of the Le Conte pear may be appropriate. Maj. John Ce Conte, from whom it takes its name, iutroduced it into Liberty county; Ga. in 1856. He found it in a Northern nursery, where it was labeled Chinese Sand-pear, and he sent it to his neice, Mrs, Harden, who lived in Liberty county in this State. At thesametime he told her it would grow froma cutting and ripen late in the Fall. The result ~ proved that it was not the sand-pear ; “<fer-while it would grow from a cut- both tree and fruit proved totally dis-| tinct. The Le Conte grows some- what inthe shape of a Lombar- dy poplar, the branches shooting straight up; and the fruit is glossy, large, rosetinged and delicious. The Chinese sand-pear, however, grows more in the shape of the orange, peach and ordinary apple; the fruit isa “rusty-coat,” small, tough and good chiefly for looking purposes. But the Le Conte is of the same family, as both grow from a cutting. The parent trees, owned by Mrs. Harlen, attracted very little atten- tion; and about the time it began to bear, the war broke out and the tree remained unnoticed fora number of years. Then, 1869, Capt. L. L.. Var- nedoe, whe had managed for Mrs. Harden previous to the war, removed from Liberty county to this, and brought with him a number of cut- tings from the tree. Of these, about half a dozen lived and flourished; and from these orignal trees many others have been grown. Mr. H. H. San- ford procured cuttings from Capt. Varnedoe, and now he, as well as Capt. N., has extensive orchards and nurseries, which are paying a fine in- come. Many hundreds of young trees are sold every year, and large numbers of people are embarking in pear-raising as a business. As remarked, the Le Conte is grown from a,cutting twelve and fif- teen inches long, which is set down in the ground so as to leave only about two eyes or buds out. These cuttings are placed in drills as close tugether as orange trees in a nursery—two or three inches apart. A good many of; them die, but sometimes nearly all of them live. It has not been determined what proportion of them will live— sometimes it is one in five, and some- tines nine in ten. : They grow with wonderful rapidi- ty. They often attaina henght of twelve feet ina single Sammer, At one year of age they may be trans planted into orchards, and at five years old they will begin to pay. They bear before they reach five years of age. When transplauted, the young trees should be set out iu twenty feet squares, if pat on common land; but if the land is of good quality, they should be placed twenty-five feet apart. They must be topped and afterwards pruned carefully as they grow, the pruning being done with a view to make the branches grow outwardly. In pruning, the frnuit-spurs should not be taken off. All of the cHp- pings may be stuck in tle ground and they will make new trees. The fruit ripens, asetated, in July. But for shipping purposes, it should be gath- ered ten or fifteen days before it ripens. Step ladders and other convenient contri- vances ere used in gathering. The fruit is packed as soon as gathered. It is first wrapped in ordinary white paper (news- paper) and then packed in crates twenty- two inches long, twelve and a half inches deep and eight wide. These crates cou- tain about seven-eights of a bushel, or an average of ninety pears; they are made of bass-wood shipped here from Bangor, Me., which is used because of its light weight and uniformity. The cost of cach crate laid down here is ten cents. The shipping qualities of the Le Conte pear are unsurpassed. The skin is very tough and will not easily break or rot; it will hold the inside of the pear after it has become as seft as mush, Capt. Varnedoe showed me a bill of three crates of Le Conte pears, which he sold in New York a weck or so ago. Ly this bill it showed that he realized a net profit of $3.95 per crate, which is more than four cents apiece for the pears. Year, before last, his net profits on twelve trees were $410. Lis crop this year will aver- age ten bushels to the tree, and he says it is not halfa crop. Nevertlie- Jess, at ten bushels to the tree it will be seen that this is sixteen crates, which, being sold at the rate of profit men- tioned above, gives a profit of over sixty dollars to the tree. Now, with seventy trees on an acre. That sounds “fisher,” I know; but right now and in Capt. Varnodoe’s case, it is certain- ly true, for I havo seen the trees, the gathering, the crates and the bill, and { speak trom the evidence of my eyes. Now, your readers are ready toask, will thisdast ? I answer, I don’t know. But will your orange business last? If so, then the Le Conte pear business will last and continue to pay. In my opinion, there is as much promise in the Le Conte pears as in oranges. It seems to require a sandy soil witha clay foundation, but Messrs. Sanford & Varnedoe say it will,do well in any sort of soil that is not poor. Those who wish to know more on this subject, I recommend them to write to Mr. H. H. Sanford, Thomas- ville, Thomas county, Ga. He is per- fectiy reliable and honorable; and ting, thé fruit vipened in July aud a. * ss Pe is the principle grower in this country, has 15,000 beautiful young trees which I have seen. A. P. JorpAn. The Modern Young Lady at Two Periods. Behold her at eleven. Her limbs unfettered by the Jong skirts of conventio: ality, she runs,she romps; ‘she alides on the ice ponds, she rolls hoop, she climbs fences, she kicks, she ruis races, and is as fet of foot asthe boys. Her appetite is good, her cheeks rosy, and her move- ments unconsciously graceful. Behold her again at twenty. No wore does she run or jump or roll hoop, run races or shde on the ice. It is not “proper” now nor lady-like, and she couldn’t if she would, for she is fettered by long skir.s, tight shoes, ant tighter stays. Her movement has no longer the free- dom of unconscious grace of ¢rildhood, for now when she walks it is to bz look- ed at, which now in her estimation is the: main object of walking. She is already in delicate health, and has a doctor who prescribes expensive ad- vice and prescriptions for her, and ascribes her complaint to anything and everything but the real cause. This is simply the fettering of the body with fashionable cicthes. Physi- cally she isa prisoner, At eleven she was free. The doctor advises travel, but he does not advise her to take off and and keep off her fash- ionable fetters. She wouldn’t do so if he did, and he wouldn’t advise Iher if he knew it would bring retief, for she would no longer believe ina doctor make her dress like a guy; being dressed like a “ony” is dressing different from the who would style prescribed by a Paris modiste. Dressing for health and freedom of body and limb is one thing, and dressing for fashion quite another.

So we sat down on the sunny dyke, Where the white pond-lillies teeter ; And I went to fishing like quaint old Ike, And she like Simon Peter. All the noon T lay in the tight of her eyes And dreamily watehed aud waited ; But the tish were cunning and would not rise, ; and the baiter alone was baited.

Then, again, during the Holden Kirk War, when an organized banditti was called out for the ostensible pyrpose of suppressing alleged violence in certain counties, but really for political effect, when Joshia Turner, then the leading Democratic journalist of the State, was arrested and incarcerated in a loathsome cell, application was made to Judge Bux- | sey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and ton displaying a most revengeful, vindi- | Kentucky ; larger than the German em- ctive partisan spirit, indicating thereby | pire, including Prussia, Saxony andall a disposition to oppress a fellow citizen for no other apparent reason than that! his suffering subject had dewounced the | than Great Britain and Ireland. vandal horde of cut-throats then abusing the State and her people by their lawless | few individuals, who, for convenience, or- depredations. In the face of these facts can the Judge be considered impartial ? the virtues of Gartield, and is to “His faults a little blind,” him. Garfield is the man who sold his influence in Congress to the DeGolyer Pavement company for $5,000, and also suffered himself to be bribed by the Northern Pacific Railroad company, ae . A Distinguished Union on) Hancock, General Addison, N. Y. Advertiser. Gen. W. W. Averell said in response to an invitation to take partgin a grand Democratic demonstration, at Bath, New York. The apprehension is expressed by some that Gen. Hancock if President would be manipulated or induenced by politicians of whom the people distrust. To this let me say I have known Gen. Hancock for twenty-three years. His character has been a growing model. With the vigor that comes from perfect health, he has been an ardent student anda close observer, His mind is constantly on the allert, and he gives to his well-formed opinions a prompt and clear expression. An excellent and experienced judge of character, he is the last man to be de- ceived or deluded, and [ know of nothing in life or death that could change his resolutions or purposes with regard to his duty. He isa thorough Democratic gentleman, fond of cultured social in- tercourse, butin different to the bright- eatarts of fashion, and despising the frivalous allurements which the al- mighty dollar enables gifted snobs to occasionally set forth in American 60- ciety. Noone represents him but him- self, and when President he will execute the will of the American people under the constitution and the laws, through an administration such as those living have not seen. ae A Singular Coincidence, A New Jersey paper, the Patterson Guardian, in the following article di- rects attention to a rather striking coin- cidence : Garficld admits that he “borrowed” money from Oakes Ames. Whata queer coincidence it was, to be sure, that sever- al other members of the House borrowed exactly the same amount of Oakes Ames at a period when he was putting out money “where it would do the most good.” Hero is the little list : John A. Logan, William D. Kelley, James A. Gartield,-: We have noticed that this queer cir- cumstance has not yet been explained by any Garfield stump orators. Nor is likely to be. Armfield says iv his speeches that no -man_ in the world ever “borrowed” just $329, and that if he could get an indictment against Gar- field he could convict him on these figures, before any petit jury in the eountry.

LAVISH GRANTS TO CORPORATIONS. Prior to 1869, there had never been the donation of an acre of land directly toa railroad corporation. According to land office estimates, the Republican party, since 1861, has granted to railroad corpo- rations more than 137,000,000 acres, about one-twentieth ot the whole United States, larger in extent than New York, New Jer- = ‘She stat- the Datch principalities; larger than France and Belgium, and mach larger It be- longed to the people; it was given toa ganized themselves into corporations. Is therein all history, such an example of waste? The government loaned to 3ix of these railway corporations more than $64,090,000. When the bonds mature the loan, principal aud interest, will amount to $390,000,000. ‘This large loan was made a first lien upon these railways, but its priority has been surrendered. It may be considered as lost, aud should be charged to the Repablican yarty. Our aggregate expenditares the last uineteen years, omitting what was paid as interest, have been more than $5,800,- 900,000. The aggregate expenditures the preceding seventy years were ¥1,600,000,- 000. The last nineteen years we spent, say, ¥4,200,000,000 more than during all the balanee of our national life. The av- erage civil avd miscellaneous expendi- tures of the Republican party, the last nineteen years, have been 352,000,000 a year. In the nineteen years before they were less than 31,000,000. Theaggregate Indian expenditures, the last nineteen years, amuunted to $97,000,000, for the preceeding nineteen years, $44,000,000. I will say nothing of our war and naval expenditures, or pensions and interest, fer they aro not fairly the subject of com- parison. Twenty years ago our railroad interests were mauaged exclusively in the states ; now these interests are lobbying in Wash ington. Twenty years ago education was acknowledged to be a home concern and left exclusively to the states ; the theory now asserted and beginning to prevail is that the general covernment must see to the education of its childven.—<Albany Argua, ie -—_— Goy. VaNcE oN MATTERS OF STATE.— One of the most effective parts of Senator Vance’s speech, night before last, was that in which he spoke of State affairs. In refer- ring to the sale of the Western North Caro- lina Railroad, he said that aside from the material relicf it afforded the people of the State, it was his profound canviction that the road itself would have proved a cause of dissention more deplorable than that which divided the peaple of Virginia, causing us, as it had-caused them, to entirely lose sight of the great issues of the present campaign. It was the wisest thing Gov. Jarvis everdid. —Charlotte Olsercer. Grant now says that Hancock is a vain, weak, ambitious man; that he was no soldier during the war and will be a mere plaything in the hands of the politicians. On page 300 of J Russell Young’s book, Grant express- ed himself a year ago as follows: Hancock is also a fine soldier. At the time he was named Major Gener- al, we were not very goud friends, and my personal preferences were for Scho- field, but I felt Hancock had carnd the promotion and gave his name to Stanton. He wrote me a_ beautiful letter on the subject, and our relations have always remained on the most cordial footing. I have great respect for Hancock as a man and a soldier. —Ral. News & Observer.

The leakage of the night keeps the day forever empty. Night is sins harvesting time. More sin and crimes are committed in one night than in all the days of the week. This is more emphatically true of the large towns and cities than those of the country. The street lamps, like a file of soldiers with torch in had stretched away in long lines on either sidewalk the gay colored transparencies are ablaze with attractions ; the saloon and_ billiard halls are brilliantly illuminated; music sends forth its enchantment; the gay company begin to gather to the haunts and houses of pleasure; the gambling dens are aflame with palatial splendor; the theatres are wide open ; the mills of destruction are grinding health, honor, happiness and hope out of thousands of lives. The city under the gaslights is not the same as under God’s sunlight. The allurements and perils and pitfalls of night are a hun- dred fold deeper and darker and more destructive. Night life in our cities is a dark prublem, whose depths and abysses and whirpools make us start back with horror. All night long tears are falling, blood is streaming. Make a record of the nights of one week, Put in the morning paper the names of all young men, their babits and haunts, who are on the street for sinful pleasure. Would there not be shame and confusion? Some would not dare to go to their places of busi- ness; some would not return home at at night ; some would commit suicide. Remember young men, that in the reti- na of the All-:eeing eye there is noth- ing hid but shall be revealed on the last day. THE Epizootric.—The New York telegram says it was estimated that there are 6,000 horses suffering from the epizooty in that city, and the im- pression prevails that the distemper will continue until every animal has been affected. The horses in Brooklyn and Jersey City are also affected. Not a single death has so far occurred among the diseased animals. The dis- temper has extented as far north as St. John’s, New Brunswick. It pre- vails along the Hudson River, has appeared in Philadelphia, and seems to be getting gueral. 20e And welda a wrong of twenty: ycars— =: ss Harrah for Tlancork | : —Keaneville.

Teste ment and the New, to remove the curse which the mother of our race drew upon herself and her daughters by her first transgression. In mod- ern times, the history of Christianity contains the history of the emancipa- tion of women. Where the quicken- ing words of Him who talked with the woman of Samaria, and released Mary of Magdala from her thralldom, have not been heard, there has been no real amelioration of woman’s con- dition, Thésé considerations lend great interest to the following facts concerning the condition of women in the distant East ; “As time progresses, tlie. condition of the women of the orient rapidly improves. Japan has taken the lead in this respect, and to-day Japanese women occupy a position and exert an influence that few of them would have dared dream of a quarter of a ceutury ago. China is being taught the les- son, though more slowly than Japan, and women are entering toa limited extent into the world of business and politics. Merchants of Canton, who would have secluded their wives with the utmost care a decade or two ago, now permit thent to be seen, and what is more, they allow them to con- verse with. other men. “hey travel gate the Chinese rivers and the waters along the coast, and it is said that some of them have gone se far as fo allow their wives to sit with them at the public tables. Similar progress is observable among the Siamese and other eastern vations. The world still moves.” _ Oo An Enormous Concern, Krupp’s steel and iron works at Essen, Germany, pay $2,600,000 in wages annually, an average of $311.- 80 per. hand, or, on a basis of 300 working days in a year, -70 3-5 cents per. day for the whole force. Theav- erage daily wages are really 69 cents per man, the most skillful forgers and puddlers receiving about double this average, while unskilled laborers re- ceive only $2.88 a week. The work- ing men at Essen have a considerable offset in the way of very cheap living, which the proprietor guarrantecs them. There is an immense bakery in con- nection with the works, where 15,000 loaves of bread are made every day and supplied the workmen at cost. There are stores to supply clothing, dry goods, groceries and provisions at cost, schools, reading-rooms a theater, etc., and the workmen when sick, are cared for in a hospital without cost, receiving half wages also. The work- men also lodge in houses owned by Krupp, at a nominal rent, and in these several ways the wages of the Essen laborers are said to be about double in effective value. The ‘‘White Horse,”’ Perhaps the biggest horse in the world is the “white horse” of Berk- shire, England. It is one hundred and seventy yards Jong to the end of the tail. Itis a figure cut in the side ofa hill. A long way off it looks as thongh drawn in chalk lines, but the outlines are really deep ditches in the soil, and kept clean and free from grass by the people, who take great pride in it. The ditches are six yards wide apdtwo feet deep. The eye of the horse is four feet deep. The eye of the horse is four feet across, aud the ear is fifteen yardslong. It can be seen fur sixteen miles.

R. Camp- bell, a prominent citizen of Page county, Va., deliberately committed suicide by drowning himself in the Hawskill river, a* stream running near the house of his owner.- A son of Mr. Campbell drove the horse to the river to water him and while in the stream the animal laid down and permifted himself to be drowned, altho’ resisted every effurt to rescue him, and | as fast as he was driven out of the river he would return, till he was finally per- ~ mitted to end his days in the manner ia : which he seemed to desire. The owner of the steed says that for somé time he had suffered from a form of jndigestion, - which in human beings woald probably have been designated dispepsia. Wheth- er this affected the animal,; and finally led hin to take his life, is npt, of course known. The case altogether is a very remarkable one. +. >. ee The Intensity of Arctic Cold. The chronicler of Lieut. Schwatka’s re- cent expedition in search of the remains of Sir John Franklin records some inter- ing facts regarding the great cold of the Arctic regions. ‘The lowest temperature met with by the company was 103 degrees below the freezing point, or 71 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, a degree of cold almost impossible to imagine by the pea- ple of more temperate clime. The effects of such intense cold upon the haman system were not so marked in the case of the lieutenant and hie companions as might be supposed, and even during a month to which the average temperatare — was 65 degrees below zero the health of the party remained unimpaired. The men adapted theinselves as nuch as pos- sible to the habits of the natives, feeding upon blubber and fat meat, by which the vital heat was sustained. Plenty of game was found by the adventaters, who were able to secnre with their repeating rifles enough reindeer at one time to last them for several days. The difficulty of ap- proaching these animals was often very great, for in the still cold air the step of a nan upon the snow could be heard two miles away, and the grating of the sledge runners resonnded like the clothing of tempered steel. It was vot an easy mat- ter to keep guns in working order in this climate, for at 60 degrees and 70 degrees below zero strong oak and hickory would break like icicles, and all lubricants bar- den and interfere with the working: of the locks. When the guns were bronght into the warm atmosphere of the hurs to be cleaned, they would at once become coated with moistnre, and every part had to be carefully dried and wiped, lest the hunter, on stepping ioto the cold air again, would find a useless block of ice in his hands. A bottle of whiskey which was in the stores was congealed to the consistency of thick syrup by the intense cold, aud the cup from which ove of the travelers essayed to drink actually froze to his lips. The low temperature of this latitude permitted some of the Esquimaux in the party to practice a terrible revenge upon some wolvcs which bad attacked them. They sat upright in the ice sever- al keen knife Llades. and covered them with blood. These the wolves licked, slicing their tongues, but being prevent- ed by the cold from fecling the wounds at the time, and their own warm blood tempted them to continue uatil their tongues were so scarified that death was inevitable. The natives also bound up long strips of whalebone with pieces of | meat, and after allowing them to freeze, These pills wonld bold together until they had passed info the intestines 6 i wolves, when, the meat having tl ‘the whalebone would spread.

Conkling. brother of Sen- ator Conkling, addiessed a large andience of dependent republicans and democrats in New York last week. He read the ineworable words of Charles Sumner, ut- tered in Faneuil] all, twenty-five years ago, telling why he (Sumner) belonged to the republican party, and then asked, “Who have taken the places of Sumner, Chase, Trambull, Seward, and other lead- ers? The Logans, the Camerons, the Gar- fields, aud:éhe Colfaxes. Fron the time these men have assumed the control of | the party it has been held together by the cohesive power of plunder. And now I would like to ask what the Repablican party has done. ‘The party has put for- ward a man whose character will not bear scrutiny. They have made an odj- ous, malignaut sectionalism the chief fea- ture of the canvass. This man Gartield has been put forward as representing the principles of that party. Now [tell you he stands before the American people as a liar, a perjurer, a bribe taker, a back- salary grabber, and last but not least as the most conspicuous figure in the elce- toral frand of 1875. Now, of course you and I understand that the men who have put Garfield forward must necessarily support him. One of the important. cir- camstances of this campaign, he thonght is that so many Republicans have come out in the support of Gen. Hancock. “There is no ueed of giviug names,” he said. “You know many of them. There are about 300 of them where I just cane from. They asked me to come here and speak, They are against the narrow odious sectionalism that forms the ehief feature of the Republican canvass.” Mrs. Wm. Tippet, Owasco, N.

It has been repeatedly said by persons who have .observed the course of Mr. Bingham that he aspires to the manage- inent of the County. That he lias sought te break down the intluence and the use- fulness of other men in order to make himself complete ruler of the County. In his speech at Enochville, on Saturday last, he unwittingly betrayed iu words the spirit of his dream. He is reported on good authority to have delivered him- ‘|selfas followa: “T want the people to distinctly under- stand that I have been this County government for the last four years, and that Bank Davis has not had a d—n thing to do with it.” The Examiner will please make a note of this, and hereafter when it turns loose its thunder against the “County ruler” it will keep its eye on the right mau. The present Beard of County Comnissioners are all, excepting “Bank Davis,” Bingham democrats, and Bingham claims to have ruled them into the support of his plans, in defiance of Mr. Davis. 0 “AFRALD OF ARMFIELY.”—In the nota- ble conversation D. L. Bringle had with C.H. MeKenzie, Bringle said —l'm afraid of Ariupticld.” Why did Bringle say this ? Answer: McKenzie had said to him — “Dave, if you will whop over, I think you will stand-a clauce tou hold yeur oftice of running Postmaster.” Tothis Bringle’s only auswer was— “Tf am afraid of Armfield.” He did’nt care a cent for Republican principles, the re- publican party, his negroe ‘Yfollawers. or amy such endearments. Ie was) onky ‘afraid of Armiicld.” He did'nt believe that Armfield would be willing to receive him into the Democratic party and put him back into the office of Postmaster if Hancock should be elected. If Armfield had been present at the conversation and said—*Oh David, don’t be afraid of me,” David would have whopped over ina miueate, and let the office of sheriff go to granny. But Armfield was not there to speak, and so David was “afraid,” and thought he had better the race for sheriff. Now reader, when you see him on the stump, talking his oily nonsense, just remember he is doing it all because he is ‘afraid of Armfield”? and because Ne sees that his only apparent ehance for an easy living in this world is to be elected sheriif of Rowan. —o Tue Brxauam Rinc.—lIt is thought by some that D. L. Bringle may be a mem- ber of the red front Grocery ring. Noman more frequently visits Bingham’s store, and it has been whispered that there is probably some bargain between Bringle aud Bingham. Of late it takes this shape: If we (the ring) see we can’t elect Bing- ham, we will throw Bingham’s vote for Bringle, and thus secure his election. It will then be impossible fer Bringle to give Bonds satisfactory to the present Board of County Commissioners. Bing- ham men as members of the Board of Commissioners will net admit the snfti- ciency of any bonds, Bringle may offer. At this stage Bringle will pass out of the question aud the Board will proceed to elect, or decide, between Bingham and Waggoner. And here Bingham will find a culmination of all his schemes: He has a majority of the Board of Commis- sioners on hia side, there being only one in the Board against him. They will elect him sheriff, though Waggoner may be the choice ef the people, and they will aecept his bonds whatever they be, and thus Mr. Bingham will walk in. It is suggested that Bringle understands the scheme and isa party toit. Bringle is thas securing the friendship of Bingham, and laying him under obligation to provide for him in the event of Haucock’s election. This is the import of the whispering re- ferred to, and we give it for what it is worth, only remarking that those who know the parties will know also how much credit to attach to it. ee) = Simon Pure.—The Examiner is a great ‘stickler for Simon pure democray. It is ultra on the subject. No one can bless a pure demoerat-with such anetion, or dam an impure one With such a withering curse. But the Eraminer is fallible. It cannot always discern between ‘the good and the bad, and consequently its bless- ings sometimes fall on unworthy. sub- = saan an See ESN Se, hold) on in lursoviemeatr-A90r.

Others of them Lave never failed to vote the democratic: ticket, and neverexpect to. All are a’ true to principle as the editor himself, i£ not a little more so. His denunciation of these, therefore, is au error. : To finstrate further: It supports Bivgbam becanse he is “Simon pure,” ‘and beeause it approves his principles of action: It approvesof his packing the towaship Executive Committees ; of his packing the Registrar's, and the Judges of Elections—all in his own inter- est; forin this it seesa man capable of hervic deeds, when he, as the represnta- tive of democracy, is involved in issues at stake. The Examiner also shields from its anathamas fellow. cocworkers whose past records are dark; but whose pres- ebt services are accepted as fall atone- ment. - =e PINK HALL PREFERRED. — Bingham Giving away his Friends. JAt the public speakisg at Chiva Grove, Tuesday, Mr. Bingham declared from the stump that he would rather. see Pink Hall Sheriff of Rowan than to see Mr. Waggon- er re-elected to that office.g This is an insalt to the White people of Rowan, apd more directly offered to the 1,535 voters who supported Mit Waggon er in 1378, and the 2,215 who voted for him in 1876. It isan insult to the honest men of Mr. Bingham’s own friends, for it isadsmitted that most of them are good and true men and take pride in the fair fame of the county, and would blush = to the crown of their heads to aee. the conn- ty in the hands of a radical negro sheriff. Does Mr. Chas. Price eudorre this speech? Will the Zraminer defend it? Can the fast friends of Mr. Bingham in Frauk- lin accept it as their sentiment? Do those members of the Board of County Comniissioners who have said “yea” to all Bingham’s propositions, endorse it? Do all the men whom he las appointed Registrars swallow it?) Do his Judges of Elections also gulp it down? = Do his ten Salisbury delegates rejoice in the vigor of this brave speech ? The public can now see who are the true democrats of Rowan. It devolves apon the Waggoner men of the coutty to keep cool and preserve the demoeratic party from harm. They are able to do it and they will doit. Mr. Bingham may rave himself to hoarseness, but he wil! find that there is conservatisin enongh in the dem- oeratic party of Rowan to preserve it against all his poor efforts to destroy it. His China Grove speech was ian indirect effort to transfer his friends to the sup- port of Bringle. For hia own part he wonld prefer Pink Hall, but he will be satisfied with his friends if they wiil de- feat Waggoner by voting for Bringle. It is a virtual admission of his own defeat, anda vindictive attempt to defeat the democratie party for not accepting him, <b For the WarcuMan. ; Ocr. 18th, 1880. Agreeably to appointment, about one hundred and twenuty-tive ef the Democrats of Franklin Township met this evening at the Academy. y ing was organize ppointinge Wm, M. Kincaid 'sqe Chaininan, bed Wie Fraley, Esq., Secretary. Able speeches were made by H. C. Bost, Esq. and Hon. Charles Price. G, A. Bingham, Esq. also made a short talk, announcing himself a candidate for the office of Sheriff in ascordance with the decision of the County Convention. At the close of the speaking the follgwing paper was read by the Exceutive Committee: FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP. : Oct. 18th, 1860. At a mecting of the Execative Committee of this Township had this day, it was. re- ported that the Salisbury Watchman, in its last issue, had stated that the democrats of Franklin, in consequence of Mr. Grieber’s faiture to detine his position on the Sheriffs election, would not suppert him, This com- mittee after a thorough canvass of the town- ship, takes this occasion to inform the Dem- ocrats of the county that they can be assur- ed our Township will heartily support, not enly Mr. Grieber, but al/ the other nominces of the late County Convention. We know nothing but to vote for our nominees. Let the other Townships do the same, and we will win the victory. W. lh. Fraley, | R. J. Hattom, } Ex. J. B. Foard. | Com.

The Watchman did not say th it8 last cr any other issue, what it is “reported” to have said above. It reported facts. It is undeniably true that when Greber declined to avow his choice for sheriff he was answer- ed by persons in the crowd who said they would not vote for him, It is also undeni- ably true that this declaraticn drew forth no remonstrance, or even objection, or show of disapproval, from Price, Binghain, or any other of the public speakers. So far therc- fore as the above proceedings would seem te be a refutation of the Watchman’s account of the opening of the canvass at Frankl, it does not touch it. It does show, however, that some of those who spoke out at Mr. Greber and said, they would not vote for him, have wisely reconsidered the matter. Mr. Shuping, a private citizen, rerionstrat- ed against calllng out the candidates on the sheriff question, and it is gratifying to see from the above that he has been substantial- ly sustained, and that the candidates forthe Legislature will get the vote of the town- ship. At the election of August, 1878, Franklin polled only 34 votes for the regular nominee for the Senate, Mr. Jobn S. Henderson, and 246 against him. It will gratify Mes- srs. Brown and Greber and the Demo- cratic party generally; that the case is dif- ferent this year, and that Franklin says: “We know nothing but to vote for ournom- inees.” Unfortunately, however, Franklin son after tie was clected'En spite of her op position, and we shall eae 2 gos hearty acceptance of -the re-election of Mr. Waggoner, one of her own sons, so highly | honored at home for his quiet and faithful performance of duty, and at the capitol, as one ef the most prompt-and accurate officers of the State.

Ist. Lhey have invited several prominent speakers to be present, and give all in- terested a hearty invitation to attend this, the last rally of the campaign. : A inore careful and reliable cauvass of the township seems to indicate the elee- tion of Bingham by a small majority over Bringle. We woald suggest, Mr. Editor, that ia your next issue, you or some legislative sage,‘as Jno. 8. Henderson, Esq., or Hon. Chas. Price, enlighten us country voters on the merits or demerits, of the propos- ed amendments which we are asked to adopt on the 2nd prox. Inthe campaign, which has proven so bitterly personal, I have not noticed a word from the stump, or an article in the journals concerning them, exceptin the Raleigh Signal, which of course, spoke unfavorably of them. We believe that not ove voter in ten has any clear idea of their merits, and the Press should inform them. Politics are becoming too mach a question of personal Favorites, vather than of principles, any- way, is the huwble opinion of Oct. 19, 1839.

Dear Mr. Bruner: How is the Watch- man? I Lave just been thinking what a debt of gratitude the people in and around Salisbury owe to you. For so many years you have, almost uninterrnptedly, kept up the journalisia of the old town! What an influence you have exerted! Yourcolumns have engaged the attention of thousands of people—many of them spending an hour or bours weekly in reading what you present- ed to them. You have thus contributed to the mental and moral experience of multi- tudes.

Must not the Church be harmonized to a greater extent, before the werld can be brought under the sway of Christanity ? An intelligent friend of mine who has been connected, for many years, with the Consulate in-China and Ja- pan, informed me that the positive divisions of Protestantism were one of the chief dis- advantages of Protestant missions among the Orientals, The Catholics being onethey have always been most successfal as mis- sio: a ies. We have not much to report from the University. We are now very hard at work. Our numbers are increasing. No man that knows and tells the truth can ever say again that the poor man is taxed to educate the rich man’s sons at the University.

Democratic conventions were held, in each Township, Saturday, the 2let day of Augast, 1880. At these conven- tious I carried sic Townships out of the eleven. Accordiiiy to the old fuleof- vot- ing this would have given me -the .aemi- nation. According to the new plan of ér- ganization, adopted by the Céntral Exee- utive Committee of the County, these -siz Townships were entitled to cast 83 Elec- toral votes for me iu the County Conven- tion: But although I carried the Town- ship of Salisbury by a clear majority of 19 votes, ten of the Salisbury delegates voted agaiust me in the County Conven- tion, contrary to the declare@ will of the Democratic voters of the Township as ex- pressed at the ballot box. I was better enfitled to the nomination than’ Frank than J. L. Graeber, who carried 29. If twenty-nine Electoral votes are deemed sufficient to nominate a candidate, and thirty-three are not, then party econven- tions are a sham and a farce, and: ought not to be allowed to exist any longer. The ten delegates from Salisbury Town- ship in voting against my nomination in the County Convention, openly aud no- toriously violated the expressed wishes of their constituents. 1 leave it to all fairjminded men tosay whether these del- egates had any legal, political or moral right to betray and disregard the declar- ed will of the Democratic$voters of the Township, who not only elected them to be Delegates, bunt also instructed them positively and uvequivoeally, to cast the vote of the Township for me and not against me. The Convention voted by ‘Townships, and every Township obeyed instructious exeept Salisbury. By what authority did the Salisbury delegates cast the vote of the Township contrary to the wishes of their constituents? Those del- egates represeiited the Democratic vote of Salisbury township—aud nobody eise— and yet they claimed the right to vote their individual sentiments, and not the wishes of the Democratic voters of the Township whom alone they represented or had authority to represent. I appeal the people of Rowan County to set. the seal of condemnatlon upom a system of “Returning board” tactics which has not hitherto been able to tind standing room, much less a home on North Carolina soil! Fellow Citizens, I have served you faithfully and conscientiously in the past, and if elected again, I promise to dis- charge the duties of my office as [ have always endeavored to do, with malice to- wards none, and with charity for all, without fear, partiality, or prejudice, aud with an eye single to the good of the whole people.

Oue fellow asked the boy what he had, and he answered with a candor that surpised his questioner : ‘Forty dinars are sewed up in my ments.’ e The robber laughed, thinking that the boy jested. Another asked -him the same question and received the same answer, At last the chief called him and asked what he had, The boy replied : ‘I have told two of your people al- ready that I have forty dinars sewed up in my clothes.’ ‘The chief ordered his clothes to be ripped epen, and the money was faund. ‘And bow came you to tell this?” ‘Because,’ replied the boy, ‘I would not be false to my mother, whom I solemnly promised never to tell a lie.’ ‘Child,’ said the chief, art thou so mindful of thy duty to thy mother, while Iam insensible, at my age, of the duty I owe to God? Give me thy hand, that I may swear repent- ance on it.’ He did so, and his fol- lowers were struck with the scene. ‘You have been our leader in guilt,’ they said to the chif; ‘be the same in the paths of virtue.’ And taking the boy’s hand they took the oath of re- pentance on it.— Canada Presbyterian. eb PLUCKY. The boy marched staight up to the counter. ‘Well, merchant, just risen from such a glorious good dinner—“ what you have to- day ” ‘Oh, please sir, mayn’t I do some work for you ” It might have been the pleasant blue eyes that did it, for the man was not accustomed to parley with such small gentlemen, and Tommy wasn’t seyen yet, and small atthat. There were a few wisps of hair on the edges of the merchant’s temples, and look- ing down on the appealing face, the man pulled at them. When he had done tweaking them, he gave the ends of his cravat a brush, then his hands traveled down to _ his vest- pocket. ‘Do some work for me, eh? Well, now, avout what sort of work might your smal] manship calculate to be able to perform? Why, you can’t look over the counter.’ ‘Oh yes, I can, and I’m _ growing, please, growing very fast—there! see if I can’t look over the counter !’ ‘Yes, by standing on your toes; are they coppered ?’ ‘What, sir?’ ‘Why, your toes, Your mother couldn’t keep you in shoes if they were not.’ . ‘She can’t keep me in shoes any- how, sir,’ and the voice hesitated. The man took pains to look over the conater. It was too much for him ; he couldn’t sce the little toes. Then he went all the way ronnd, ‘I thought I should need a micro- scope,’ he said very gravely, ‘but J reckon if I get close enough, I can see what you like.’ ‘I’m older than I’m_ big, sir,’ was the neat rejoinder.’ ‘Folks say I’m very small of my age.’ ‘And what might your age be sir?” responded the man with emphasis, ‘Pm almost seven,’ said Tommy with a look calcylated to impress even six feet nine. ‘You see, my mother hasn’t anybody but me, and this morning I saw her crying be- cause he could not find five cents in her pocket book, and she thinks the the boy that got the ashes stole it— and—I —haven’t had —any —any breakfast, sir.’ The voice again hesitated, and tears came to the blue eyes. ‘f reekon I can help you toa breakfast, my little fellow,’ said the man, feeling in his vest pocket. ‘There will that quarter do” The boy shook his head. ‘Mother wouldo’t let me beg, sir,’ was his simple reply. ‘Hlumph! Where’s your father ? ‘We never heard of hin, sir, after hewent away. He was lost, sir, in the steamer City- of Boston.’ “Stl you don’t‘say. That’s bad. the had my little man,’ said complacently — he will But aye a plucky little fellow, any- 2 « ae ae — J eS how.

Well, here’s a youngster that can take his place” Mr. Saunders looked up slowly— then he put his pen behind his left ear—then his glance traveled curious- ly from Tom to Mr. Towers. ‘Oh, I understand,’ said the latter ; ‘yes, he is’ small, very small indeed but I like his pluck. What did No. 4 get.’ ‘Three dollars, sir,’ said the still astonised clerk. ‘Putthis down four.’ ‘There young- ster, give him your name, and run home and tell your mother you’ve got a place at four dollars a week. Come back on Monday, and I’II tell you what to do. Here’s a dollar in advance; ll take it out of your first week. Can you remember ?” ‘Work, sir —work all the time ?” ‘As long as you deserve it, my man.’ Tommy shot out of that shop. If ever broken stuirs, that a twist through theewhole fiight, creaked and trembled under the weight of a small boy, or perhaps, as might be better stated, laughed and chuckled on ac- count of a small boy’s good luck, those in that tenement-house enjoyed themselvee thoroughly that morning. ‘I’ve got it, mother! I’mtook ! I’m acash boy! Dou’t you knew when they take the parcels, the clerks call ‘Cash? Well, ’m that! Four dol- larsa week! and the man said I had real pluck—courage, you know. And here’s for breakfast ; and don’t you never cry again, for I am the man of the house now !’ The house was on!y a little ten-by- fifteen room, but tow those blue eyes did magnify ii! At first the mother looked confounded ; then she looked faint ; and theft she looked—-y well, it passes my power to tell how she did look, as she caught the boy him and kissed a dollar in her arms, hugged him, the tears streaming down her cheeks, But they were tears of thank- fulness now.— Youth’s Companion. ee ee A Romance of the Pacifie Slope--- Horrible it True. Wasurnaton, Oct. 9.—The Treas- ury Department was in receipt some time since of acommunication from the chief of the detective corps of San Francisco, containing statements which read like a highly wrought up romance, embracing the crimes of murder, robbery and marital infideli- ty. The story in brief is as follows : Two gentlemen, friends to each other, with their wives, were traveling in California, One of them had in his possession a number of registered United States bonis. The sight of the bonds excited the cupidity of his friend, who also coveted his neigh- bor’s wife. The two men walked out together one afternoon to view the mountain scenery. The owner of the bonds was never scen again, and his companion reported that he accident- ally tumbled down a_ frightful preci- pice. Susequntly, while in the re cesses of a vast forest, the man tied his own wife and burned her to death. Then, in company with the wife of the missing man he made his way back to San Francisco, and with her connivance personated the owner of the bonds and endeavored te negoti- ate the sale of them. The two were shadowed and found to be living as husband and wife, the man assuming the name of the friend whom he was believed to have murdered. Such is the outline of the detective’s story, and as may readily be imagined, the Treasury officials were on the qui vive for any'application which might come for the transfer of the bonds to anoth- er party. Nothing was heard until quite re- cently, when a letter was received from the attorney of a lady living in Kansas City, asking the transfer of the bonds to her name. The lady states that she is the widow of the person in whose name the bonds now stand registered. An account is then given of his murder, or supposed murder, by the false friend, who, itis stated, obtained Possession of the bonds, but there is nothing to indi- eate that she was an accessory, or that she had any subsequent knowl- edge of the movements of the mur- derer. The First Comptroller has decided that before the bonds can be ee em ee hae mn ee and fuller f of her identi en an ee - > © In thé’ mean time the chief ‘of the} San Francisco detectives has been written to -for any. additional infor- mation which he may have on the subject. —_————_>e—___— Cure for Consumption.

There was a time when a teacher must be a man—a man of severe looks, who could success- fully flourish a club and keep the beliger- eut juvenile in terror. The soothing in- flucnce of the club is productive of good even ip this day, when regularity of at- tendence and improved lessons are the achievements most desired. This remark can only have reference to the boys—the girls, 1 know, will always study well and do right. The boy is sometimes hasty if not stubborn, bat the boy is the coming tuan, and as life is fearfully practical he needs must learn to Be firm and active, for he will have to open an avenue for himself along which he may march to success. That which appears hasty and stubborn will cool and tone down when he comes to grapple with the solid facts of life.

The boy is ‘‘a big institution,” and with all his rollicking, rude -and reckless} faults I love him still. But, I said woman has taken hizh rank asa teacher, and I add, now holds that position in every civilized land. Many of the barbarian and semi-barbaric nations had long felt and acknowledged her pow- er and influence as a teacher of whatever was to be taught by those nations. It took centuries to force this idea above the pre@Pdices that prevailed so long among the cultivated. There are many other ideas wherein woman is the principal fac- tor that have and are now forcing their way above civilized prejadice.. But this is not the time nor occasion to digress and. on the ground, . ——— POLITICAL. diseuss them, Woman is now in the school room.

Perchance when her mission is enced and she heirs her prom- ised throne and crown, she shall know all, avd kuowing, feel that her school room labor was not in vain.

After a sober second thought the Demo- cratic defent in Obio and Indiana may be regarded as a windfall or blessing in dis- the prime causes of our defcat-in the State of Indiana, at' least, was the o¥er-confidence of our Icaders and. voters.. Every Demo- ed at the result. So was every Republican. And the Republicans now areso wild with joy that they will invite defeat by their over-confidence in November. The. De- mocracy, however, have learned ‘that they have a hard fight, and on fhe gecond cf November, when the.-general battle’ is fought, there will be nomen entering in the rear. I have reason to know that not only does Gen. Hancock, but ex-Governor Tilden, the shrewdest and smartest politi- ; , clan beneath the skies, feels contidént of a fluence of the mental cultnre that sha'l be | grand Democratic victory. not only in New given within theinstitution you haveded | York, but in Indiana next month.

Dock- ery, who had an appointment there, None of Dockery’s speeches will bear rejoinder, and with that political bravery that has ever characterized him, he graciously allowed Maj. Rob- bins the first speech of one hour, re- serving to himself the right to reply indefinitely, Maj. Robbins to have no rejoinder on him. Robbins threw his paign fund, don’t | Hon. W. M.

Like the ceremony just per- formed, it will keep pace with the march of unfolding destiny; aud the chil- dren that are to be the children of the far off ages shall feel the potent spell | as we feel the spell of those who taught before the age of christianity. The scholars of olden times are felt with as much, if not with more force than when youth re- cited amid the groves and halls of Greece and Rome, or the boy Hannibal made his famous vow upon the alters of Carthage. | ‘he results of their training have been felt in all succeeding ages. The results of this hour’s work shall be shared by those who lightly glide over lifes tranquil wave in the far off years yet to be. This act will lend anew impulse and hasten with the certanity of impending destiny the hour wheu other communities shall emulate the example set by Salisvury in erecting this building fur the intellectual nurture of her children. IT may with pro- priety here say to the Mayor, the Board of Commissioners, and all other active benevolent citizens of Salisbury, you are doing a noble work,and the children edu- cated here will arise and call you blessed forevermore. In behalf of the dear boys and girls now present I tender you their sincere thafks for the interest manifested iu their welfare. You are providing for them an education because education im- proves their destiny, and we know that Whatever beyoud doubt or failure im- proves the destiny of man must be regard- ed as fultilling heaven’s high behest and accoinplishiug the purpose for which man was created. You are providipg each with that which will enable him to know | himself- the power to read and think. The less power we have to think the less power have we to assert the rights and privileges of manhood, for the empire of man is the power of thought—it is the Cease to think aud that moment we cease to be. The physical forces of man are of but little avail when without the directing power of thought. It is the fore-runner of pro- gress iineverything, and all results of wis ‘doi are the fruit of tyought from the lo- comotive, the electric light to the voice- conveying telephone. You are providing our youth with mental training and it is that which adorns mind and gives the i giace and beauty of expression, whether iu be upon the written page or by the charm of oratory, for itis that which makes mind burn and glow upon pen and lip. The history of our race, its literature, painting and sculpture prove beyond dis- ; pute that education among the masses is lthe palladium of civil liberty—the bual- wark that protects and defends the rights of man. But ladies and gentlemen, I close with the expressed hope that yeur highest expectations may be fully realized; and add in justice to myself, it was not my design to make an elaborate and lengthly speech for the time and the oceasion will not admit the selection and fall discus- sion of avy subject. To make these re- marks aud be with you on an oceasion so important to all is to me a pleasant duty and willingly performed. Before I cease speaking permit me to further add, Ihave purposely avoided that conciseness of ut- terance that is not iu harmony with the orvate fullness and expression that public speaking demands, because, as the scholar knows, the poverty of language and con- ciseuess of expression due a written essay is not appropriate toa public speech. 1 have avoided the brevity and condensa- tion that is not commensurate with the language and ornaicuess due the rule of public speaking, and the occasion we cel- brate. With this I close my remarks and thank you for your attention. oor or Power exhibits itself undertwo distinct forms—strength and force—each possess ing pecaliar qualities and each perfect in its own sphere. Strength is typified by the oak,the rock,the mountain. Foree embodies itself in the cataract, thé tem- pest, the thunderbolt. “If you shoot my dog Pl shoot you,” said Van Buren to Hunt, at Tuscola, Tl. The dog and Haut in a minute lay dead was sure of Indiana, but he had no doubt whatever of the gencral result. A number of leading Democrats from diana are here to-day at the rooms of the national Democratic committee, where an Important consultation is being held. All agree that General Hancock is stronger in the Hoosier State than Landers, the defeat- ed candidate for Governor, nnd will poll from 5,000 to 10,000 more votes. The Re- publicans will have other States to look after next month than Indiana, and cannot amass such vast sums of money and import- ed voters in Indiana as they did last Tues- day. It is believed that the Republicans poiled 10,000 illegal votes, many of them being negro votes, and not a few from the Carolinas. The clection was no wore nor less than a great auction. The floating vote Was put up and knocked down to the highest bidder. The frauds practiced in the State were unblushing and shameful. Leading Democrats have assembled here from all parts of the country. Not one of them is) discouraged, Gov Tilden Jast night informed his friend. ex-Goy. Steven- son. that New York weuld give Gen Han- cock as large a majority as it gave him aud Mr. Hendricks in 1376. reasons why New York will go Denocratic. New York isa Democratic State. She has been demonstrated by the resuits of eivht, and perhaps we micht say nine gen- eral elections. Since the defeat in the Greely campaign in 1872 the Democrats have invariably carried) their State ticket except inthe years 1878 and 1879, and on both those occasions the success of the tepublicans was solely owing to the disas- trous divisions in the ranks of the Democ- racy. In truth. from 1867, when they first wrested New York out of the hands of the Republicans, down to the election of last fall, when they ran two candidates for Governor, the Democrats have never lost the State if they were thoroughly united in support of their ticket. Four years ago, in a Presidential contest, with a fuil vote at the polls, and when the trial of strength between the two parties was fairly and honestly conducted, the Democrats gave Tilden and Hendricks a majority of 33.000. New Jersey is all right. By karge major- ities it cast its electoral votes for McCiellan in 1864, for Seymour in 1868, and for Tilden in 1876. It is lon since it had a Republi- can Governor, and there is no probability that it will now elect .one or give its clec- toral’ votes to DeGolyer Garfield. Perhaps the chances for Democratic suc- cess In Connecticut do not rest en as sure a basis as in the two neighboring States. But it has a strong, popular candidate for Governor, and the supporters of Hancock are moved to an enthusiastic discharve of their duty in the present emergency by a recollection of their victory four years ago, when, after a sharp struggle, they carried the State by a majority 2,900. These three States cast fifty electoral votes. Four years ago they gave them all to Mr. Tilden. By giving them to Han- cock now they will render his success ab- solutely certain. X. —_——_——~+-e- » —____— It is easy enough to charge that the Re- pablicans carried the Indiana election by fraud. But where is the proof ?— Wash- ington Republican, Here ia the proof. The Alexander Ga- cette, October 18th, say : . For the past two days squads of negroes have been arriving.in this city from Indi- ana. Friday morning a company of ten arrived. Those arriving did not besitate to say that their passage to Indiana from North Carolina had veen-pajd by a gen- tleman from the North, aud that they had left their native State a short time pre- vious on the condition that they would nut be required to remain away from their homes more than a month. The spokesmay of the party said that a man from the North came to South Carolina about six weeks ago and engaged a num- ber of men to werk in Iudiana, promising to pay their railroad fare to that State; that they went to Indiana and were sta- tioned ina country district, where they staid and voted the Republican ticket last Tuesday, for which they received a wonth’s pay ; that they had been granted a furlough upon the promise to return in two weeks. , Both parties seemed to be ignorant of the purpose for which they had been transported to Indiana, and were elated at the manner in which they had been treated. They expressed the opinion that on their return to Indiana they would be accompanied by a large number of the colored people of their neighborhood, as they had been informed by geutlemen in Indiana that there was work in that State forall they could bring along with them. By such means the Republicans have won a victory that settles the presiden- tial election! It is preposterous in the extreme, There are many | hottest shot for the space of an hour and Dockery followed for two hours anda half. The following day they metat Lenoir, where Barringer was also present. Here Barrringer liad the first speech and Maj. Robbins was al- Jowed one hour and a quarter after him, Dockery to close the discussion | in a speech of indefinite length. Sand- ~wiched as he was, Maj. Robbins, fol- lowing Barringer and having heard i Dockery’s speech the day before, raked ‘them fore and aft to the intense de- light of the Demperats, sustaining himself thoroughly well and dis- fitting the Republican champions. “One of our citizens who heard the com | discussion returned home enthusiastic | reporting a victory for our townsman, jeven under hard conditions put upon him. The following day, at Hickory, the order of speaking was as the day before, except that Robbins was cut down to one hour between the two, and after this they would not consent He pro- posed to follow them if - they” would: give him but six minutes each day, to give him any time at all. which proposiaion they refused. They already had enough of him and would agree to give him no rights at any more of their meetings. He ridiculed and jecred them. « He told them they knew their speeches would not bear rejvinders and he told Dockery that for ten years he had been trying to get the second speech on him and never yet suceceded; he told him that he (Dockery) was the most cow- ardly man he had ever met on the stump, but all to no purpose. Nobody knows better than Dockery and Bar- ringer when they have enough of a man, and by their own confessions they got enough of Robbins. THE CONNECTICUT DELEGATION.— The Connecticut delegation stopping over in this city yesterday paid the Observer a pleasant visit, and had many agreeable things to say concern- ing the South generally and especial- ly of Charlotte. None of them had ever been South before, and they found much to interest thein ina Southern town, Atlanta, they said, was so crowded with v sitors that they couldn’t see the place for the people. An interesting fact connected with the delegation, is that it is singularly solid tor Hancock; vor are they alone; in the Sedgewich Guards, of Water- bury, the company from their town which passed through the city yester- day on their return from Atlanta, ev- ery single member is a Hancock man. They are going to show their allegi- ance by paying Gen. Hancock a visit on Governor’s Island before they re- turn to Waterbury. The delegation are a)! business men of Waterbury.— Charlotte Observer. eo 0 SO -—--- GARFIELD’s TarirFr.—Washing- ton, Oct. 19.—A dispatch from Cleve- land, Ohio, to-day, says that a repre- seutative of the press called upon Gen- eral Garfield at Mentor yesterday with a request that he would explain the charges of hisinconsistency in his tariff record. Gen. Garfield said: “I say ‘nothing to anybody,” and on asecond “request for his views hesaid: “I re- |fuse to say anything. I say what I have to say iu public.” The repre- sentative of the press persisted in his | questions, when Gen. Garfield rushed ‘out of the room. a Garfield’s Death-Warran t. His.

Very truly yours, J. A. GARFIELD. H. L. Morey Employers’ Union, Lynn, Mass, - Tue Great May’sSLeep.—Wash- ington, Oct. 20.—The Grant Repub- licans here make no seeret of their ex- pectation. They say that they will own Garfield if he is elected, that the anti-Grant Republicans had to confess their inability to succeed after the Maine election, and that it was only by presence of Grant, Conkling, Cam- eron and Logan in Ohio and Indiana that those States were saved to the Republicans. They boast moreover that the Indiana campaign was man- aged exclusively by Grant men— New, Dorsey and Gorham. Evarts, Sherman and Schurz, they say, will have to walk the plank afier the 4th of March next, and retire to private life. The cabinet, they boast, will be Grant’s throughout, and none but the Old Guard will have positions of importance and influence at home. Nearly two years ago Grant and his conspirators saw that it was neces- sary to cary the vote of Indiana, and they commenced colonizing ne- groes in the State to do it. They suc- ceeded. a aE cS Sa MISCELLANEOUS. “Free Your Mind.” A Quaker, on hearing a man swear- ing, said, “That’s right, friend! Get all the bad stuff out of thee as_quick- ly as possible.” The following anec- dote of Horace Greely shows that if Mr. Greely did not sympathize with the Quaker, yet he could keep cool under provocation : One day a stranger came into the office, looking angry, and inquired for Greely. I pointed him to the little den where Greely was scratching away for dear life, and he made for it. As he went in I heard him say, “You old hypocrite!” using an oath at the time. Greely did not look up or even pause, but kept driving his pen mad- ly on, his nose within a couple of inches of the paper, and his lips whis- pering the words after the pen, as was his wont. : The fellow continued, calling Gree- ly’s attention to an article that had offended him, and denouncing him as a villian, a coward and a liar, with an oath after about every other word, meantime threating to “knock his head off.” Greely didy’t stop for a moment, but wrote va unruffled by the blas- phemy. At last the intruder exhausted his vocabulary and turned to leave the room, when Greely jumped up and squeaked out to him : - “Say, neighbor, don’t go! Stay here and free your mind!”—Oliver Johnson. a ee The spots on the sun do not begin to create the disturbance produced by the frecki¢s on the daughter.

She |had-a small tin pail in her hand at the time, aud while screaming for help began to fight the snake with the pail, it seemed that every stroke she’ made at the snake’s head he would dodge and draw his folds about her _body tighter. She continued to fight and scream this way for nearly a quar- ter of an hour before she got any re- sponse, but finally heard her husband’s answering call. Just then the snake got a coil around her neck and throat Her husband crush- ed the snake’s head with his boot heel and then released his wife and carried her to the house, where she revived. She carried a blue mark about her throat for some time where the snake had choked her. The snake was eleven feet in length and as large a- round as a man’s wrist. —- + ANOTHER Disco. ery. — Prof, Swift, Astronomer of the Warner Observary, at Rochester, N. Y., discovered another large comet on the evening of October 10th. The fact was noted in the associa- ted press dispatches, but some important and interesting details which could not be telegraphed are herewith given. The new celestial visitor is in the Constella- tiow of Pegasus, right ascension, 21 hours 30 minutes, declinatlon North 17 degrees, 30 minutes. Its rate of motion is quite slow, being iu a north-westerly direc- tion, 80 that it is approaching the sun. It has a very strong condensation on one side of the centre, in addition to a star- like neucleus, which indicates that it is throwing off an &xtended tail. From the fact of its extraordinary size, we are war- ranted in presuming that it will be very brilliant, amd the additional fact that it will be one of the most remarkable cemets of the presemt century. This is the fifth comet which Prof. Swift has discovered. There is a possibility that further devel- opments may prove this to be the great comet of 1812, which is being constantly expected, in which event astronomers will have an unusual opportunity to test the spectroscope for the frst time upon these eccentric bodies, and ascertain cer- tainly what they are. ee eee Lions and Rats. The following incident abont an old lion’s last days is taken from the last report of the Dublin Zoological Garden: “The closing weeks of her useful life were marked by a touching inei- dent worthy of being recorded. The large cats, or carnivores, when in health, have vo objection to the pres- ence of rats in their cages. On the contrary, they rather welcome them asa relief to the monotony of exis- tence, which constitutes the chief trial of awild avimal in confinement. Thus itis acommon sight to see half a dozen rats gnawing the bones off which the lions have dined, while the satisfied carnivores look on con- tentedly, giving the poor rats an oe- casional wink with their sleepy eyes, In illness the case is different, for the ungrateful rats begin to nibble the tocs of the lord of the forest be- fore his death, and add consideravly to his discomfurt. To save our lion- ess from this annoyance, we placed in her cage a fine little rat tan-terrier, who was at first received with a sur- ly growl, but when the first rat ap- peared, and the Honess saw the lit- tle terrier toss him in the air, eateh- ing him with professional skill across the lions with he came down, she began to understand what theterrier was for; she coaxed him to her side, folded her paw around him, and cach night the ligtle-terrier slept at the breast 6f the lanes, en= folded with her paws, and watching that his natural enemies did not dig- turb the natural rest of his mistress, The rats had a bad time during those six weeks. a PS mee The langnaze of . the heart her ne a snap as need uf worl+t> be understoad, [ writes im the eyes, * oe T¢-bas been charged, and as far as we roli na W atchman. know hasever been autharitatively de-} = = F ; : the com —— —'| nied, that Judge Buxton was applied to| The new pablishedexclusively in yes: Telegraph Company in & | of the tel Be 7 ~~ ‘MAURSDAY, OCT. 28, 1e80. for a writ wf: habeus corpus, and he de- |terday's Observes Vorthe effect that the ee kee ee an > Whe origin ‘application was for injupc- ao wy clined tojasue it.

He, with several friends ix bug- gies and behind swift horses, sailed out at theappointed time; and out of person- al respect and courtesey, no doubt, some of the neighbors did come together, but all told they counted only about 20, be- sides women and children, Our gallant townsmau, Jas. M. Gray, Esq., was “bouk- ed” for the occasion; and although he made no pretence to a speech, did some splendid and pleasant talking. He was followed iu a few well-timed remarks by Mr. MeLaughlin, editor of the Democrat ; and then all talked aid compared notes, and so the two hours allotted, slipped away like a ghost. Our zealous friend and his associates acknowledge with real pleasure the politeness of Mr. Heilig and his interesting family. Vv ROWAN MASS MEETING. Phe Democratic rally on Tuesday was avery decided success, in all essential poiuts. A great assembly, great speeches, a grand display, a joyous time. We had a large gathering of the people, anxious to show their interest ig the vital ques- tious at issue in this great country and upon which a decision will be made on Tuesday. They came from all parts of the county, and many from adjoining coun- ties, and entered heartily iuto the exer- cises of the day. The procession exceeded all expecta- tion both in numbers and matters of ma- sic, bavners and dash. The Salisbury Rifles, Rowan Artillery with their guns, Hook and Ladder Company, all in dress, made a beautiful street display of them- selves; but the orators of the day with numerous citizens in carriages aud bug- gies and on horseback and afvot, com- plete a pageantry rarely witnessed in our country towns.

It was very able, and comprehended all the main points discussed in this eauvass, which he handled with a skill as simple as truth itself. His statements were con- cise, and his arguments and conclusions hour of his speech, which was about two | bours in length, was eloquent and toueh- ing far beyond anything bitherto conceiv- ed of as within the power of the speaker, notwithstanding his high repatation. The General exceeded his fame and left on the hearts of his hearers au impress of truth and patriotism, which will never fade away. Hon. D. K. McRar Was next anneunced. His style was en- tirely different from Mr. Rausc ws. He very quickly captured the eager attention of the crowd, and held it with ease for more than an hour, in which time be fired many w hotand raking shot into radicalism. Mr. McRae isone the most. effective oratyrs in. the State—piquant, racy aud powerful to a degree rarely inet with. It , as a telling speech. Hon. Wa. M. Rossins ‘came next; and though it was getting late, he gleaned the fields passed over by Messrs. Ransom. and MeRae and brought to view several important sub- jects unnoticed by them. His earnest and original style is always rewarded with cluse attention, and he never fails to say things in away which arouse and give pleasire to his hearers. HON. R. FP. ARMFIELD closed the exercises at the stand by words of encouragement to the Democrats to work for and expect a glorivas triumph. In all his round through the District he had found no turning over to radiealism. On the contrary, many who have hereto- fore voted the Republican ticket: would this year vote for the democratic candid- ates. Mr. A. spoke with uuusual anima- tion, and with evident contidence in the success of a glorious victory on Tuesday. NIGHT CEREMONIES jand balloon display.

ROWAN COUNTY. DISTINGUISIIED MEN IN ROWAN, Before leaving this part of the history of Rowan county it is necessary that the reader should become acquainted with a number of distinguished men who made their homes in Salisbury for a longer or shorter time. One of these was a permanent citizen; the others tarried here for a season. Among these we mention first WAIGHTSII L AVERY, ESQ, The North Carolina University Magazine, for 1855 contains asketch of Mr. Avery, and his private Journal for 1767, and Col. Wheel- ers sketch of Burke county contains a briet biography, from which we condense the fol- lowing account. Waightstill Avery was of Puritan stock, and was born in Norwich, Connecticut. He completed his literary studies at’ Princeton College in 1776. From this’ place he went to Maryland, and studied law under Little- ton Dennis, Esq. It is stated that he was Tutor for a year in Princeton. This was probably his last year as a student, and he was doing double duty, and at the same time was reading law, for we find him in the beginning of 1767 setting out for North Carolina, His journal shows that he after he began his course asa lawyer here. On the 5th of February, 1767, be rode in- to Edenton North Carolina. On the 8rd of March he reached Salisbury, and made the acquaintance of Associate Judge Richard Henderson, Samucl Spencer, Esq.—atter- wards Judge Spencer—John Dunn, Esq., Alexander Martin, Esq. —afterwards Gover- nor Martin—Wmm. Heoper, Esq., Major Wil- liams and Edmund Fanning, Esq. Col. Fro- hock entertained him at his plantation two miles from Salisbury, and Avery describes his house as “the most elegant and large within one hundred miles.” On the first Sunday aften his arrival he “heard the Rev. Mr. Tate preach.” After going to Hillsboro Brunswick, where he obtained trom Gover- ’ Province. From -Brunswick he passed by Cross Creek, and thence to Anson Court House. Anson Court House, was not then t at Wadesboro, but at a place called Mount Pleasant, about a mile west of the Pee Dec | j River, and a short distance below the Grassy Islands, Here Avery took the Attorney’s oath, April 13th, 1767, and the next day be- gan his work by opening a cause against a hog thief. From Mount Pleasant he went | to Mecklenburg, met Adlai Osborne, Esq.. and on Sunday, April 23rd, heard Rev. Jos. Alexander preach— probably at Sugar Creek. | Here he engaged board with Hezekiah Alex. t in Salisbury,where he engaged a year’s board | ¢ with Mr. Troy_at twenty pounds a year, de- ducting for absences. On the 16th-of May “he rode out five miles to Dunn’s Mountain the country.” At the August term of Row- bury, Anson Court Hage (peariotte and In 1775 and 1776) § powerful and impressive.

The gigantic poplar tree is still stunding in the University campus, under SE which Gen. Davie was resting when his Tryon Court House and atbnce obtained a n large number of clients, he was a member of the Provincial Congress, and was appointed on the committee to re. vise the statutes of the Province. In 1773 he was made Attorney General of the State, and shortly thereafter he married anid moved to Jones county.

Frohock executed a deed to James Macay. Esq., Benjamin Reunceville and Herman Butner, Trustees of the United Congregation of the Jersey Meeting House, ‘consisting of the professors of the church of ‘England, the Church of Septland and the Baptists, for three acres and twenty poles of fand, including the Meeting Houseand the burying ground. The witnesses to the deed are Jas. Smithi and Peter Hedrick, and the land was part of a tract devised by John Fro- hock to his brother Wm, Feohack. Though the mecting house had been standing since 1795, it appears that they had no legal title till the above date. If we may judge from the order of the names compared with the order of denominations, we would conclude that Macay represented the Episcopalians, Rounceville the Presbyterians, and) Butner the Baptists. Spruce Macay was probably a son of Jas. Macay. At all events he whks from that neighborhood, and was buried there, with otlers of his family. At thet early period the Rev. David Caldwell, DD. was conduct- ing his classical school, on Buffalo, in Guil- ford County—then a part of Rowan - about torty miles from the Jerseys. Thither young Spruce Macay was sent for his literary train- ing. He probably read law) under John Dunn, Esq.. of Salisbury, or it may be Waightstill Avery, who practised in) these Courts. He was licensed to practice law about the beginning of the Revolutionary war. and devoted himself with energy to his profession, and soon became such a profti- cient that students came to him for in- struction, In 1776, Wm.

Greek.” Though only fifteen years old at the close of the Revolution, young Andrew Jackson took part in several skirmishes and other adventures in his neighborhood. At the close of the war he was an orphan, with- out brother or sister—without fortune—a sick and sorrowful orphan. Aftera year or two of a reckless life, he began to look at life in earnest, and prepare for it. He taught school forawhile, and gaining a little money, he came to Salisbury in 1785, and entered as a law student in the office of Spruce Ma- cay, E-q. He lodved in the *Rowan House,” the study of law in Salisbury, and the cur- | reat opinion is that his preceptor was Spruce | Macay. His residence was on fot, No, 19, of the west ward, the property now owned by Mrs. Nathaniel Boyden, and his law office Was In front of Irs dwelling on Jackson street. In 1784, Mr. Macay dhad another pupil who was in after eats honored with the bighest office in the United States. This was Andrew Jackson. Parton, in his Life but he studied in the oftice of Mr. Macay, along with two fellow students, Crawtord and McNairy. The reader may remember this little office on Jackson street, as it stood until four years ago, immediately in front of the residence of the Hon, Nathanicl Boyden. Parton describes it as “a little box of a house tifteen by sixteen feet, and one story high,” and built of “shingles,” ice. a framed and weather bearded house, covered with of Jackson Says: “At Salisbury he (Jack- sonj)entered the law-oftice of Mr Spruce Ma- cay, an eminent lawyer at that time,and.in later years, a Jude of high distinction, who is still remembered with Honor in North Carolina.” In 1790 Spruce *Macay was ap- pointed Judze of the Sup@vior Courts of law and cquity. : By his marriage he became connected with a family distinguished ‘as lawyers and judges in North Carclina. He married Fan- ny, the daughter of that eminent jurist, Judge Richard Henderson of colonial times, and sister of the Hon. Archibald Henderson of Salisbury and Judge Leonard Henderson of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, By this marriage Judge Macay had one child, a daughter named Elizabeth, who married the Hon. Wm. ©. Love of Salisbury, and was the mother of the late Robert E. Love, Exq., of Salisbury. After the death of. his first wife, Judge Macay married Elizabeth Hays of Halifax, N.C., by whonr he had three children; Alfred Macay, who dicd carly, in Salisvury; Fanny, who married Geo. Locke, son of Richard Locke, and moved. to Tenn- esssce; and William) Spruce Macay, wh@ first martied Miss Belle Lowry, daughter of | Richard Lowry, Esq., of Rowan; and after her death Miss“ Anmie Hunt, daughter of Meshack Hunt, Esq., of Yadkin county, and of cards, and that) Jackson won large sums shingles. This little house was purchased by an enterprizing individaal and carried to Philadelphia to the Centennial Ex positon, in 1876, as a speculation, though it proved to be a very poor investment. While Jack- son certainly devoted a good part of histime to study, yet he was no doubt, as Parton de- scribes him, “a roaring rollicking fellow, overfowing with life’and spirits, and re- Joicing to engage in all the fun that was go- ing.” “He played cards, fought cocks, ran horses, threw the ‘long bullet’ (cannon bat, slung ina strap, and thrown asa trial of strength), “carried off gates, moved out- houses to remote fields, and occasionally in- dulged in a downright drunkea debauch.” Upon a certain occasion the three lawstu- dents and their friends held a banquet at the tavern, At the conclusion it was resolv- ed that it would be improper that the glasses and decanters that had promoted the happi- ness of such an evening shouid ever be profaned by any baser use, Accordingly they were smashed. The same reasoning led to the destruction of the table, the chairs and the bed, were all broken and torn to splin- ters and ribbons, and the combustible parts heaped on the tire and burned. Of course there was a big bill to settle next day. But it is said tha®Jackson’s landlord was fond from him, which were entered as credits tinct in this county.

There will be a larger area planted in rice in Florida this season than has been the case fora great many years: Philadelphia is arresting numbers of oleomargarine swindlers— that’s the right name for those who sell the stoff as butter for butter prices. The gross income derived from to- bacco by the farmers of the United States is about $22,000,000. There are needed improvements on every farm, which the owner would liké to make if he “only had time.” During the past theirty years, 10-, 500,000 Germans have left father- land aud found homes in America. Wheat retains itx germinating pow- ers after being subjected to a tempera- ture of 80° Lu!sw zero. New Orleans papers state, that from the present outlook, a magnifi- cent crop of sugar will be harvested this season. An experiment shipment of fifty barrels of Spitzenberg and Rhode Island Greening apples was lately made from San Francisco to China. A bullock, when slanghtered, yields about fifiy pounds of blood, which, worth for fertilizing purposes, is twenty-five cents. Whitewash, to which has been ad- ded a little copperas water, is very un- pleasant to rats and other vermin, and also destroys noxious odors. Gold is found in fifty-six counties in Georgia, copper in thirteen, and silver-in three, iron in fifty-three, and diamonds in twenty-six. Good plowing means the thorough pulverization of the soil; and the best plowman is he who can break up the graund into the finest particles. According to the average of thir- teen analyses made by Prof. Emile Wolf, of Germany, green grass con- tains 88 per cent. of nutrition. If cut when in bloom, it will contain bu 62 per cent., whereas if not cut until the seeds are fully formed or _ Tipe, it will contain only 31 per cent. of nutrition. Carbolic acid soap is recommended asan excellent preventative against flies. If rubbed on the legs and neck of a horse he will not be troubled with flies, Bran of middlings mixed with whey and fed to pigs keeps them in excellent health; and if -mixed with a little barley meal, makes the sweet- est and best of pork.

Dr. Neale’s proposal on the other hand is a ¢hemi- cal one, and is designed te destroy the poisonous gases. It is not, of course, intended to supercede ordin- ary ventilation by currents, but rath- er toact asan auxiliary. The es- sence uf the scheme is the adoption of sone simple chemical facts. As the lungs of living beings appropriate oxygen and give off carbonic acid gas. Dr. Neale proposes to makea “chemical Jung,” which will appro- priate carbonic acid and su!phurous gases. from the air containing them, without yielding any products in ex- change. The air in the tunnels of the underground railway was referred to as a couspicuous and well known ex- ampleof impurity irremediable by any chemical means. The principle deleterious, poisonous gases in this instance are corbolic acid and sul- phurong gases and carbonic oxide. All these, but especially the two former may, Dr. Neale maintains, be easily got rid of by chemical means. By mixing a solution of gsulphyrous acid and water in a flask, Dr. Neale made an excellent imitation of the air at the Baker street or Portland Road station. He then added a small quantity of solution of caustic soda, and agitated the flask briskly fora few seconds, and immediately the sulphurous smell was abolished. Into the same flask a current of carbonic acid gas was next passed, so that a ce of I ed to'th p j aH effiry 14. “Yhersday Jast, ashe shont f) elim hid Litder witha hedfal of mortar, Mr. Aumtersoa, tie contractor and » whom he works, handed him a let ter.

Edible birds’ nests may certainly rank amongst the curiosities of food. They are considered great delicacies in China, where they form part of all ceremonivus feasts, being dissolved in They reach China from the Southern) Archipelago, chrefly from Java, Borneo, Celebes, and the Sooloo Islands. It has been estimated that not less than 8,400,000 of these nests, are annually imported into Canton The finest and whitest kind sells for as muchas £5 and £6 the pound, but it requires about fifty nests to make up one pound. In reality,these singu- lar structures are rather the brackets upon which the build their nests than the nests them- selves. The bird —a kind of swift known as Salangan (Collocailla escu- lenta,)builds both in marine and in- land caverns, first forming, mainly with its saliva, a number of loops, which it subsequently works up into the shell-shaped support for its nest. The nest itself is made of leaves, and, seaweed, but the edible bracket or support cunsists almost ex- clusive of the saiivary secretion of the bird. It is a mistake to suppose it to be made of seaweed, which the Salan- gan neither eats as food nor uses in the building of these brackets, though the nests are often made of it. The Salangan builds and breeds four times in the vear., The brackets are removed three times, the best being obtained in July and August. soups.

Extraordinary Figures for Calm, Dispas- | sionate, After-election Reading. Indianapolis, Oct. 22.—Day after day the evidence of fraud and corruption at the October electiou accumulates in the , knowledge of the Central Committee. That the election was notoriously unfair, ‘and the vote in excess of the pumber of legitimate residents of the State, especial ly iu tuis vicinity, the records amply prove. Take the vote in this county, for ‘instance. Ia 1878 when the county elec- tion was held here, the contest over the Shrievalty was the hottest ever ‘known, except in the case of Lemon vs. Adains, , this year. Then the vote stood as fol- | lows: John T. Pressly (re-elected) rec’d 10,285 R.. J.

How is that for a fair vote? The same rate of increase all over the State ‘would show a gaiu of more than 75,000 ‘over the vote of 1872. 1 A prominent grain man of this city told your correspondent to-day of a party of negroes that came into Indiana the morn- lug of the election from Springfield and There were poiuts on the Wabash road.

As anevidence of the slenderness of the threads upon which haug not only ev- etlastiug things but those of temporary affairs as well, the Republican majority of fourteen ov joint ballot in the Legisla- tuce depends upon an aggregate plurality of uot much over 300. Fountain conuty elected its Representative by twenty-nine plurality, St. Joseph and Starke by thir- ty-one, Perry by forty-four, Noble and Ripley counties by fifty-eight each, Spen- cer by fifty-nine, while the Senator from Carroll, White and Pulaski, comes in’ by only eighteen plurality. These figures are full of thought to the average politi- cian, and demonstrate how valuable a thing is well directed work. The local Republican politicians, aided by the News, are endeavoring to create the impression that Democrats are taking and scheming about effecting a FUSION WITH THE NATIONALS, by splitting up the electoral ticket, and outsiders are taking up the matter and throwing their gigantic intelleet on the scheme. Democrats are not engaged in that work ; as Senator McDonald said when a cheeky National suggested the withdrawal of the Democratic electoral ticket and uniting ou Weaver's and Cham- bers’, such a move, or anything in that direction, would result in a virtual disso- lution of the party. We think there is a too good a chance to carry the electoral vote for Hancock and Euglish to fool wit}: exploded powder. —__-— The Radicals have getten up a little blank book, which is intended to be a re- cord of the Republican voting at the pre- ciuct at which it is used. The first page is to contain the name of the precinct, county and State; the names of the Uni- ted States supervisors ; of the inspectors and registrar and returning offiver. Then the body of the book is to contain “the names of voters who exhibited to us a Re- publican ticket and voted in our pres- ence.” The last leaf contains a certificate touching the election, to be signed by the Republican local committee, and a memo- randum is annexed relative tu avy dis- turbance at the polls. Such a record, ifaccurately kept, would do no harm to apy one, but the fact that such preparatious have been made in ad- vance shows that the Republican man- agers are preparing evidence ip advance touching the elections.—Ral, Observer. ____~+.— Mr. F.

One party has sought to ‘keep up sectional animosities and to widen rather thao to close the chasm between the North and the South. The question now is, what kind of a Union is this to be—oa the one hand love, fraternal feeling and common interest, on the other hand a Union of farce, where sectioval animosity is still cife. This question is to be settled this fall. Too many men place ‘heir party ahead of their. coun- try. This is the attitude of the Re- publican party. To the Demucratie party we owe the acquisition of terri- tory and the legislation which has made our country what it is now— the heme of countless.” Ou the ques- tion of the solid South, Gen.

He did not wish the success of the Demucrat- lic party to depend on the solidity of any scction, but to rest on a majority ‘in all sections. As to the cry that thé Deinveratic party will destroy the in- dustries of the country, he said the Democratic party has been in power five years and has has not impaired or ruined any industry.

He is absolately blind, and yet he invents and constructs torpedo boats and small steam vessels for governments in all parts of the world. His steam launches glide through the water at the rate of twenty miles an hour. He has a number. on hand which he wants to sell to the'gov- | ernment. He builds aluanch in which steam can be got up in six minutes, which can be carried on beard ship asan ordi- nary ghip’s boat, which will contain coal aud water enough to run 300 miles. | Moreover, he claims that his new boats will not sink, and that they will there- fore serve as lifeboats.

The balloon is made of canvass and metal plates, with an at- tached cistern contaiuine carbonic acid gas compressed to a liquid state. When made fast to a sunken object, the comniu- nication between the cistern and the bal- loon is opened ; inflation takes place ; the sunken vessel, or whatever it may be, is lifted and can be towed at pleasure. In the experiment at Kiel, an auchor-stone weighing fifteen tons, was thus lifted from a depth of 32 feet. The lifting power of a balloou ten feet in diameter is said to be more than 100 tons. eS _ DrerecTiInG ForGery.—The bank of France has almost entirely abandoned chemical tests in-favor of the camera for detecting forgeries.

A victim of the same description was a good old lady who bad just finished her shopping in one of the Boston dry goods stores, ‘There |’ she cried, ia an excited voice, ‘J should like to know what’s become of that ambril!

If we attempted to sum up all the predictions in circulation with re- spect to the future fashions, we can find no other positive fact than that they will be more individual than ever as to the details of toilettes. I go to one of the first dressmakers of Paris and she confides to me that sleeves plain narrow and closely fit- ting the arin will be adopted. ‘Are you sure of it?’ I ask, ‘Oh, quite sure. Here are the cor- sages of Madame De B , the most elegent woman in Paris. You see that the sleeves arc all tight.’ Igo from her to another renowned dressmaker, She lowers her voice and whispers in my ear, ‘Sleeves will be full, and even gathered at the tap,’ ‘Are you quite certain ?” ‘Oh, fully, Countess de T , the most elegant woman ip Paris, The sleeves are full you see.’ It has really become impossible at the present time to affirm that a cer- tain style is or is not in vogue. One leader of fashion wears such a thing ; another, not less fashionable, wears just the opposite, and this is true as regards all the articles of dress. In the same manner, very large bonont= are announced for the cgming winter; | . | protecting embrace. yet medium-sized and even very small ones continue to be made. The pres- ent epoch is Jess than ever in favor of uniformity. Each Jady chooses and adopts her own fashjons and the lax discipline only asserts itself in a few general rules; for instance, no one wears crinoline, though s few ludies don sma]! bustles, and no one would take it into her head, unless she sets economy above elegance, tu weara sacque with sleeves sewed in the arm- hole. Apart from a few interdictions of this sort, there is the wildest di- versity of toilettes; the army of wo- men will no longer submit to be clad in uniform. Wrappings, therefore, will be large; so will bonnets, at least in general ; dresses will bo short, but without ex- aggeration ; trains will no longer be worn in the strects: even for even- ing dresses it is said that skirts will be short in front at least, even when Jong behind, Pualongises will be re- vived for day and even certain even- ing dresses, but if the name remains the same, the thing itself has chapged; these polonaises are rather men’s coats, which, ceat-shaped in front and on the hips, are in the back a dress, shorter than the skirt for day dresses, and infinitely longer than the latter when the toilet is designed for even- ing assemblies. ‘The coats, or habits, are generally embroidered with gold or silver, aud are in all varieties ; some high-necked, with narrow stand- ing collar, slightly cut away in front; others opening wide over a plastron of the same material as the skirt ; and ethers with Louis Quatorze vests, Jong, square, embroidered on the edges and trimmed in the neck with fine lace that form a voluminous jab- bot. down the front.

The six moons we see—one of them is larger than Mer- eury—circle around their primary within and extreme span of four mil- lion miles, ‘The beautiful rings lie within the path of the nearest moon and span a space of about one hun- dred and seventy-six thousand miles. The narrow, dark space between the inner and outer rings is seventeen hundred miles broad and the dusky or third ring extends nine thousand miles within the inner or second ring. > ro A Peculiar Case Cheek. —— rule never to lend any money to a wo- man, and say that, however honest a woman may intend to be, she is na turally destitute of ideas of business fairness, and ungrateful for favors.

She was crying to him abvut her troubles one day, as some communi- cative ladies are apt to do, and said she wished she was rich. Heasked her how much money it would take to make her consider herself rich. She said she would be happy with $2.00. So he went down to ’Change, bought twen- ty shares of Consolidated Virginia mining stock, which was going up at the time, and held it till it realized a profit of $4,000. This he handed to the old lady with his best regards. She wept for jov, and wanted to kiss him, and then asked. him to invest the 184,000 for her.

Dowd, Seales, Arm tield and Vance. Holland, and our indefatigable and effi- cient naminee, Hon. W. H. Kitchen, was unable to overcome the seven black majority which confronted him at the polls. As the net result we have gain- ed one member of Congress. We have elected our judicial ticket and have add- ed permanently to the strength of our Superior Court bench in the persons of the pure, incorruptible and learned Ben- nett and Gilmer. We have e.ected a Dem- ocratie Legislature, and have thus perpet- nated the reforms which Judge Buxton avd the Republican party were commit- ted to repeal. We have carried every- thing in Ngrth Carolina that could be carried, The details from the counties come in so slowly that we postpone making any tabulated statement of the votes until to- morrow. The reported majorities from fifty-five counties give Jarvis a net ma- jority over Buxton of 3,241. These coun- - as cast in the Vance and Settle election, their aggregate vote being 157,597 in °76. They gave Vance 7,013 majority. In them there has been a falling off of 3,172 from Vanee’s majority. In the remaining 39 counties, Vance’s majority was 6,172. We have no reason for anticipating any fall- ing off in these counties; but if the same ratio of loss should be continued, Jarvis’ majority in them would be 5,000, making in that event his total majority over 8,000. In the first district nine counties that gave Yeates in 1876 a majority of 1,138, are now reported as giving Latham the same. The other counties in the district will not materially reduce this majority.

THE RESULT, As viewed by the New York Truth : “Winfield Seott Hancock is elected President of the United States. He has a large majority of the popular vote, aud he has the requisite States to give him a majority in the Electoral Col- lege. It remains to be seen whether the Dem- ocratic party will once more submit to the frauds of their adversaries. — It remains to be seen whether the peo-- ple will again permit a president to be foisted upon thém whom they have de- feated at.the ballot-box. If the vote of New York State is cast pagainst the Demociats it will be by ‘the most brazen fraud, and if it is cast for them Hancock must take Iris seat. Nothing, then, can deprive bim of a majority of the Electoral College except the purchase of Florida, which is even uow being attempted. Let the Democrats guard what is alrea- '| dy theirs and see to it that the State of New York is not wrested from them by fraud, and the people will seat Hancock | in the White House despite the treachery ‘corruption and violeuce of the reckless Republican leaders.” TE OO Gen.

Yes, “it vasted in Rowan,” and raised 4 ’ up a spirit of indignation which will only relent with, the life time of those who fought the machine managers. es The Result. The returns so far received indicate that the Republicans have bought the vote of New York and Connecticut for Garfield. They have intimidated not less than 3,000 voters of Connecticut and the entire Re- publican gains in the country towns can be shown to be the direct result of bribery of voters. Mechanics have been bulldoz- ed and farmers and vesties have been bought. That is the situation. New York’s vote has been gained for the Re- publicans by money and intimidation. What will be the outcome of the election? Congress should appoint committees of investigation and trace this money to the hands from which it emanated. Those who have intimidated voters should be shown up. . When the facts are all learn- ed it will be established that Hancock is the choice of the people, and is the law- fully elected -President ef the United States. Corruption and _ intimidation should not be tolerated. The,truth should be made plain and the true result declar- ed. That result is Hancock’s electiou.— New Haven (Conn.)

For aman who had met the crushing de- feat of his lite, General Hancock sus- tains himself nobly. At 9 o’clock this morning he weut to his official headquarters and was seon immersed in his daily military correspondence. He had read the morning papers at breakfast aud knew the result. Not a word fell from his lips; not a move- ment of his impassive face gave token of the emotion within. Two or three visitors callel and were received by General Mitchel in the office. At 10 o’clock the ferry yateh brought over to Governor’s Is!and a gentleman who had once himself tasted the bitter ex- perience of a soldier candidate for presidential honors—General George B.

It was a kindred feel- ing, doubtless, that drew these two meu together. — ‘Well, General,’ was the visitors on- ly greeting. ‘Mac., Iam glad to see you,’ re- sponded Hancock. ‘Lam sorry.’ ‘I am sorry, too, but only for the people and the party.’ ¢ness to such fj Other visitors withdrew, leaving | the two Generals alone, Newspapers say About Election, ’ The Want of a Policy.

John Kelley’s Treachery. New York, Nov. 3—At the na- tional democratic headquarters, 138 Fifth Avenue, there was much de- pression throughout the evening. The dejection was intensified as the night advanced and the defeat of Gen. Hancock seemed assured. The denunciation of Jolin Kelley as the main cause of the unexpected repub- lican strength in New York city was loud and frequent. It was asserted that he had sold out the party for personal ends, and that his enmity to Mr. Tilden was the main cause of the disaster to the democracy. Only meagre returns were announced, ‘and thenational committee were secluded in an upper room. There was not even a cheer for Gen. Hancock .up to mid- night. The Solid North. WasHinaton, November 4.—A special to the Star from New York says: Ex-Senator Dorsey of the Re- _publican national committee asserts that the Republicans have carried the Legislature of every Northern State with the possible exception of Neva- da. He claims the United States House of Representatives by a work- ing majority and says the Senate will be tied with Vice-President Arthur’s vote to make a Republican majority of one. The subject of electing Magistrates, as demanded by the Radicals, is at- tracting attention, and the D2mocrat- ic press very properly urges the West to stand up squarely to the present mode of choosing them. It would bea great wrong done to many coun- ties in the middle and eastern tions to remand the finances of those Lcounties to the management of Radi- cals. The Goldsboro Messenger says of the present mode of appointing Justices of the Peace by the Legis- sec- lature : “The people are perfectly well sat- isfied with the change and have hail- ed with more than ordinary pleasure its many beneficent results. They will hardly go back to those ‘dark days of Radicalism’ from which we have so happily escaped. To go back to the former system, would mean to go back tothe same corruption and lawlessness. It negro Magistrates, negro County Commis- sioners, and negro ruie generally. There has been no change in the Re- publican party.

A Scortisn Hero.—At Ilfracombe on Tuesday, afternoon, several visitors, inclad- ing one lady, entered a large cave under the point of Capstone parade, and were over- taken by the rising tide. There was no ac- tual danger in remaining in the cave, but there was in attempting to come out; and while ladders and ropes were being brought, . & young man went down the rocks and call- ed to the inmates of the cave to remain where they were and all would be well. At the time a heavy ground sea was running, and while the young man was speaking a wave took him off his legs and dashed him on the rocks, after which the undertow car- ried him out tosea. He struck out bravely, but the sea was too heavy and no means of succor were at hand, so that he was drown- ed under the eyes of hundreds of persons on the parade. The visitors were rescued by some coast-guardsmen.— Glasgow News. —---e pe —- — DEATH From A Wasp's STinc.—A short time ago, at Goldbarg, Germany, a farm hand, while eating his midday meal, con- sisting of bread, cheese and milk, which had been sent out to him from his mas- ter’s kitchen, took a wasp into his mo@th, and, although he promptly spat it out, the creature found time to plant its sting in the back of his throat before he eould get rid of it. The interior of the upforta- nate man’s larynx swelled so rapidly that in ten minutes later he died of suffocation, after enduring terrible agonies in the vain endeavor to breathe and to force open the air passages in his throat. A surgeon, who had been sent for without loss of time, arrived within a quarter of an hour from the the time at which the sting had been inflicted, ouly to find a corpse, sur- rouuded by horror-stricken peasanta. The deceased, an old soldier attached to the reserve of the,king’s grenadier regi- ment, leaves a wife and family to lament his tragical aud untimely end. He had braved with impunity the thousand perils of battle in two campaigns, to perish mis: erably at last by the sting of a wasp. TTS OO oe The most manifest sign of wisdom ig continued cheerfulness.

Van Wyck, of the Twen- tieth district, said: “I offer: the following. / amendment to that address: < Resoloed, That the defeat of Hancock and English is due to the mismanagement and selfishness of the Democrat leaders in the cities of Brooklyn and New York.” Great applause followed, mingled with cries of “No,” “No,” and Mr. Yan Wyck proceeded amid some confusion to say: “The ticket nominated by thevity of Brook- lyn was defeated most ignominiously, and the ticket nominated by the Democracy of New York barely scraped through, but it cost General Hancock 10,000 votes in this city. (Applause, cries of “That’s so” and much confusion). Gentlemen may say it was not so, but I ask what was it that pull- ed down the majority af Frederick Smyth to 19,600? What pulled the majarity of Nehrbas down to 15,000% What pulled the majority of Docharty, an unexceptionahle candidate, down to 8,000, and what pulled the majority of Mr. G wee down to 3,0007 Isay it was the mismanagement and selfish- ness of the leaders af the Democracy. (Ap- plause and crieg of “No, no") Mismanage- ment, gentlemen, in delaying aad dicker- ing for union until the eve of the electivn, and selfishness in selecting candidates dis- tasteful to the Democrats of this city. (Ap- |. ‘The Congress to which the members recently elected are chosen meets regn- larly in December, 1881, being more than a year from this date, It may happeu, hawever, for one cause or another, that ‘gether in extra session immediately after = the adjournment of Congress on the 4th of March next, The session now ap- proaching is known as the short session, aud will expire by limitation with the end of the term for which the preseyt members of the House of Repreaenta- tives were chosen. If Congress meets in extra session, the members, just elected will be the ones constituting the House. It is now thought likely thatthe Repubhi- caus will beable to organize the next House, and they will therefore haye the appoiutmeut of the committeemen and the selections of the chairman of the committees. In this event the Democrats would not care to do a great deal of what is known as general legislation at the short session. They will doubtless confine themselves tu passing such democratic measures as may be deemed expedient and then pass the regular appropriation bills. We do not look therefore for an exciting session of Congress. Perhaps it would be wise fer onr frieuds to take up. Mr. Bayard’s bill that hung fire at the last seasion and pass it without much debate. We refer tothe bill depriving greenbacks of their | legal tender quality. That measure, when | introduced, met with no determined op- position, but was laid aside because of a general understanding that it would be better to let well enough alone. The country then was prosperous; our ex- ports largely exceeded our imports and specie was pouring in upon us in a boun- tiful stream. It was deemed prudent not to thrust the question proposed ly Mr. Bayard into the Presidential canvass and thus disturb the existing status which at that time appeared so favorable to our prospects of success. Because of that con- sideration, aud perhaps because the na- tional banks rather objected to the meas- ureas entailing an unnecessary burden upon their basiuess, the bill was not favorably eoneu ened: The election now | still shoutedec\in Olainan being over, if would seem that the Demo- | ; an oe —_ ae | “is the motion seconded 2?” shouted Mr. crats should hasten to place themselves | i Pree: : Mo .

The legislation of the next session, however, will be jy. the hands of the present neembers, and they have doubt- less given the watter close attention, They are very able gentlemen, and espe- cially are our Democratic members worthy represenatives of the thoughts, feelings and aspirations of our people. And in the suceceding House, North Carolina will be equally strong. Vance, Arintield and Scales are retained. Dowd, Cox, Shackelford and Latham, although new members of Congress, are experienced in public matters and will readily fall into the harness and do good work for our people at Washington.—Raleigh News ¢ Observer. this amendment will be ‘adopted that the country may knaw that Hancock’s defeat is due tathe mismanagement and. selfish- ness af the leaders in the cities of Broaklyn and New York.” At least a dozen of the members of the committee was on their feet in different parts of the hall shouting “Mr. Chairman !” when Mr. Van Wyck concluded. The gav- ei of the chairman was soynding above the din, and the stentorian voice of Chairman Parroy shouted “Is the motion seconded ?” Yells of “No” came from all parts of the hall. “Ig the motion seconded ?” again shouted Mr. Purroy, with a rattling accompaniment of the gavel, and a dozen men on their feet A man at the back of the hall whase name was not learned, said : “T second the mation.” “The question is now on the amen.inrent of the gentleman from the Twentieth,” said Mr. Purroy. “Mr. Grady has the door.” Ex Assemblyinan T. F. Grady then said; tena “In ising to address you let me remind -you that to no manof this organization Is to cock and English. I say apparent defeat, Leoyuse if under our government there is redress for fraurt and corryption and intimi- dation at the polls the thirty-five votes of this State will not be counted tor Garfield ” (Tremendoys applause.) Mr. Grady then went on to say that the proof of illegal vot- ing and bribery in this city was overwhelm- ing, and that he thought the tribunal of public opinien would not sustain such prac- tices, Ife lauded Mr. Grace and denied that his candidacy had lost the candidate for the Presidency any vetes. There had been trait- orous Democrats who had worked against the party, but none of them could be found in the Tammany organization, which had becn loyal and true to its candidates, ncith- er scratching nor allowing any scratching to be done. E. J. Fitzpatrick called upon Mr. Van Wyck to explain what he meant by misman- agement and selfishness of the leaders of the Democracy. Mr. Van Wyck-—- Gentlemen, you all know I am not a ready debater, Lut since the ques- tion has been asked why I say that misman- agement on the part of the leaders in the cities of Brooklyn and New York was the cause of our defeut, I will state the mis- management in New York was the dicker- ing about union until the eve of the clection, and the sclfishness was the selection ofa candidate for Mayor, whom the Democratic people would not vote for, and the same in Brooklyn. When a delegation from that city went to Saratoga they were refused the privilege of presenting their credentials and McLaughlin nominated a ticket that did not have the confidence of the Democrats of that city, and Irving Hall presented a ticket that did not have the confidence of the voters of the city of New York, and the result shows | it, the vote for the ticket being pulled down to 19,000, 15,000, 8,000 and 2000. Hence it follows, as surely as night follows day, that Hancock’s vote was pulled down in the same proportion.” Charles Townsend and Col. W. R. Roberts followed in the detence of Tammany Hall, attributing the result of the election te col- onization, bribery and intimidation. Moritz Hirschberg spoke briefly in favor of the amendment. Assemblyman John H. McCarthy, of the fourth district, said that in his district 6,900 votes were cast for Han- cock and 1,600 for Grace. “Does this look like selling out?” he said. “The evidence 1s before you, and you necd but to take the story of the figures to meet the charge of selling out.” . ~_>-— Tammany and the Election. From the N. Y. World. About nine huirdred of the Tammany gen- eral committcemen met last evening at Tam- many Hall. Mr. Gilroy read an address. It gays: “Let the vote of this city be scrutinized and it will be seen that fraud and4ntimida- tien and the use of enormous sums of mon- ey by the Republicans stifted the free voice of the people of New York. Had not this Democratic organization exerted itself with so much energy and courage in the face of the desperate assault on the purity of the ballot-box by the Republicans, Gen. Han- cock’s inujority oF over 41,000 in this city would have been much less. Tammany Hall gallantly rescued New York from the defeat which overtook Brooklyn, and which the Republicans who had spent millions to ac- complish it, confidently expected would overwhelm both cities. There has been no falling off in the Democratic yote of New York, as is falsely alleged. The sinister growth of the Republican vote, utterly out of proportion to the growth of the popula- tion, swollen in its dimensions by illegal voters and the intimidation of laboring men by giant corporations, furnishes the true so- lution to the problem. Look at the vote in this city as compared with that cast in 1876. We sabmit the figures to a candid world: white endeavoring to take care of itself, wait patiently for it to work out its des- tiny. Let the preas, the schools, and the pulpit unite in teaching our people sound political morality and true patriotism as well as the fear of God; for the time is coming when political integrity will be the salt in demand to save this glorious country.

In additien to the official returns ap- pearing in our table, the following coun- Hyde 134; Sampsoy 470; Stokes 275; Wilkes 300; Graham 13%; Swain 335. The following countics are reported as giving the Repablican majorities, named : Bertie 450; Chewan 115; tlertford 167 ; Pasquotank Perquimans = 225; Halifax 625, and Madison 152. These together with the majorities taken from the tables, give Jarvis, in the eighty-six counties heard from, 6,162 majority. The from gave Vance the majorities below : Polk 75; Cherokee 109; Clay 132; Wa- of; other counties to hear 68; Carteret d44; and Vance’s jority in these counties was 1,313. We think it probable that the official returos will reduce the reported majority in Wilkes somewhat: On the whole, it: would seem that Gov. Jarvis’ majority will be nbout 7,300. The figures indicate that his majority in the first district will be about 750; in the third 1,200; in’ the sixth 3,175; iv the seventh 2,800; and in the eighth 4,200; while Judge Buxton's majority in the second will reach 6,400. While in some counties there has been a smaller vete polled than in 1876, yet’ the aggregate vote of the State, we think, will be abont as at that election. Han- cock’s majority, it seems, will be about 10,000. The indications are that our whole State ticket will run between 8,000 and 10,000 majority.—Ral, O00. net mira- COURT CALENDAR For Fall Term of Rowan Superior Court, 18S8O--Ci- vil Cases Becfore His Tion- ov, Judge A.

BY J. x a OF ROWAN, OLD FAMILIE JONN PHIFER AND GQHORCS SAVITZ. On the head-waters of Grant's Creek, ia the nelehborhood of the present village of China ¢rrove, there dwelt in the carly times | two funilies very nearly connected. About | 1760 Jolin Phifer, with tive brothers, came from. Pennsylvania and settled in Rowan and Cabarrus—then Meck lenbarg--counties, The family is said to have been of Swiss origin, and the name was originally written Pteitfer. In 1763 Joho Phifer married Cath- erjue, the daughter of Joha Paul Barringer, Cabarrus. He settled about a mile south of China Grove, and their union was_ blessed with two chiidren—Margarct and Paul B.

Zion now stand. The etd church stood near the grave yard, west of the Rail Road, and was popularly known as Savage's Church. Here the Lutherans and German Reformed worshippedg¢together. After the disruption of the Lutheran church in 1819, the adherents of Dr. Heukel built a church a mile west, aud still later, the Lutherans built a house where the Chapel now stands, and the German Reformed where Zion Church stands. But to return. George Savitz, Jr., and Catherine his wite had two daughters named Mary and Catherine. Mary was first married to Charles Mehenzie; after- wards she was the wife ef Richard Harris, | still living. Three children were born to this couple; the late Monttord S. McKenzie, Esq., Maria, who became the second wife of Abel Cowan; and Margaret, the wife of the late John McRarie, of Salisbury. Catherine Savitz, the other daughter mar- ried Noah Partee, Esq.. and resided at the home place. Their children were Hiram and Charles Partee, who moved tothe west, and have recently died. A daughter of Noah and Catherine Partee named Eliza- beth, wes married to the late George Mc- Connaughey of Rowan. Another daughter W. Foard of Concord, and still survives.

One,or more, however, of the family of Richard Brandon, wete.ad- herents of the Episcopal Church. The Bran- | dons of Cathey’s Creek, especially Col. Jas. Brandon’s family, were earnest Presbyte- rians. Thyatira in those days was the great rallying point of the Presbyterians. In the earlier years of this century there was not a church of any denomination in Salisbury. he old Lutheran Church had gone down, and the Methodists, Presbyterians aud Epis- copalians had not yet organized their bot yet in theif teens, smoke churches. Thyatira was the centre for the|retreated and made good their-escape—none English people. While the fertile lands lying on the tribu- taries of the Yadkin were rapidly taken up by the eager emigrants from Pennsylvania, or rather by the Scotch Irish and Gerinans, who came through Pennsylvania to Carolina, many drifted on further, attracted by the no less fertile lands of the beautful Catawba. Here the Davidsons, Brevards, Whites, Winsiows, and others gathered, in the neigh- berhood of Beattie’s Ford, and on both sides of the river. This region was peopled quite early, their title deeds dating from 1752 and onward, Among these was THE FamtLy oF THE McCORKLEs. A member of ihis family, Francis Marion McCorkle of Tennessee, has gathered up the traditions of this family, and his manuscript furnisiies the basis of this article. troubles arising from efforts of Charles Ed- ward, the Pretender, to seize the tlrrone, a family of McCorkles that sought a safer and quieter home in Ireland. Here the parents died, ard a son of theirs named Matthew McCorkle, married a lady by the. name of Corkle, wa squite a character, in his way. At the ave of fourteen Ned entered in the army and was redeemed by his father at great cost. Hesoon re-entisted and wasa second time rcdeemed by his father fora large sum, and assured that if he repeated the project he should take his chances, About this time Matthew McCorkle and liis wife were abeut to remove to the American Colonies, and Ned, not yet tired of adven- tures, proposed to go with them, but his father refused to let him go. When how- ever, McCorkle arrived at the pert from which he was to sail, to his surprise he found Ned there awaiting his arrival, and determined to go, His persistence was re- warded, tor McCorkie paid his passage, and the party arrived safely in| Pennsylvania, | and after a short stay there, proceeded to | North Carelina and entered lands 1 Beattie’s Ford, some in Mecklenburg, and ne it Rowan—now Iredell. Here Mat- thew McCorkle and Ned Givens both tled down, and each of them raised large families, and here they ended their days. Givens had already showed that he hada strong will, and he was reputed to have had an ungovernable temper. ‘From him were descended some of the most reputable fani- Hes of South Iredell, as for instance the tam- ily of Whites. Matthew McCorkle had twosons, Thomas and Francis, and several daughters. One of these sons, Francis, married Sarah Work, by whom he had tive children, As hisdam- ily increased he entered more lands.

Francis McCorkle promptly took his place | on the sideof the patriots, In 1774, lie was appointed a member of the Committee of Salety for Rowan, along with Joha Brevard, Matthew Locke and others, («see Wheeler's Sketches, cal. 2. p. 369.) Though fali-thirty miles from his home, he is recegded as pres- ent in Salisbury at the regular meetings of | the Committea, and is named in the records as the captain of a company. He was in} the battles of King’s Mountain, Ramsour’s | Mill, Cowpens and Torrence’s Tavern, — ILis | yatriotie course excited the animosity of| the tories, and he was*in consequence fre. | quently compelled to keep away from his! home to escape their vengeance. A mern- | ing ortwo before the battle of Ramsour’s | Mill, Francis McCorkie and aman by the name of Smith rode cut before day to learn the whereabouts of the tories, knowing that Arriving at a neivhbor'’s house near the, head of the creek about day light, they enquired of the lady if she knew where the torics were. She replied that she was expecting them every | moment. Upon this the party wheeled and yode home ina hurry to arrenge matters. After brief preparation they left home, and were scarcely out of sight betore the teries arrived, and searched the house frem garret to cellar for McCorkle. They foand there soine alt which they appeared to want, and left word if McCorkle would come and bring { | | ! 'thenr some salt all would be well, but ifnot, | ‘found sick with the mmnpe ! } they would come and destroy everything in his house. Instead of joining them McCorkle exccuted a deed fora tract {and Smith hastened to the pati iotic soldiers | Hancock. that were centering at Kamsour’s Mill, and were in the battle there. The tradition of the McCorkle family is that Col. Locke, a friend of Francis McCor- Foote states that he was killed at the Ken- nedy place, near Charlotte, and Dr. Caruth- ers says he fell at Torrence’s Tavern. Dr. | Foote is evidently mistaken, for it was Lt. Geo, Loecke—a brother of Col. Francis, that | fellat Charlotte. It is probable also that | | | | | | the McCork!e tradition is a mistake, since Tarletonin hismemoirsjaccerding to Caruth- | ers, preserves aletter written by Gen. Greene | to Col. Francis Locke, about the time of the affair at Cowan’s Ford, dated Beattie’s | Ferd, January 31,1781, But the battle of: Ramsour’s Mill was foucht on the 20th ef | June, 1780, seven months before this time. Besides there is ne record of any adminis- | tration upon his estate, but there is a will | of Francis Locke on file, dated 1795, with | ke. | the knewn signature of Col, Francis Loc | : 2 sut He doubtless survived till this date. to return: Atrer the battle of Ramsour’s | = Mill, Smith returned and reported that Mc- Corkle waskilled, But to the great joy of the family he soon rode up alive and un- harmed. He then ventured to sleep in his f But about the | third night he was sud .dy awakened by | the sound of horses’ hoots. Hearing his name called he answercd, and was told to ect up and come to the door, He request- ed time to put on his clothes, bat with abu sive words they told him it was no use, 3s they intended to kill him. They then asked him “whom he was for?” He replied that he did not know whether they were friends or foes, but if he had to die, he would die with the truth in hismouth—te was for lib-, erty. He was then told to put on his clothes, that they had more of his sort, and they | would stay them all together. He went with them, but when he arrived at the main body, he was agreeably surprised to learn |New York should prove for Hancock, as i barred his seat in the Senate on account i Ville ? | T know two were cither acting as a Kind of rear ard, or were sent back to teconnbitre, but before going tar they were “discovered by the British,and wheeling. attempted rejoin their comrades.

Several British-soldiers were killed and bu- ried east of the Featherston ‘house.’ Mc- Corkle bore the title of Major, whether won during the war, or after the war in-the ma-| litia, is not known. He survived all the dangers of the war, and. returned to his peaceful home, and was respected and es- teemed by his neighbors. His wife died after the war, and someffjme about -1794 or 1795 he was again married. His second wife was Elizabeth. Brandon, daughter of Richard Brandon, and niece of” Matthety Locke. This was the lady that‘furnished- the breakfast to Gen. Washington in 1794 as he-passed through Rowan county. By his first marriage ta Miss Work, Maj. Me- Corkle had two sons, Matthew and Alexan- der Work, These men lived ‘on’ Mountain Creek, but never married.”. Alexauder:W. McCorkle was a man of: weaktteand-of fine |. judgment and business: talentg. . He,.was frequently called upen to advise his neigh- bors in business affairs, and to aid thém in making deeds and conveyances. By his second wife—Elizabeth Brandon— Maj. McCorkle had several children. 1, Wm. B. McCorkle, who was a mer- @hant in Wadesboro fer about forty years. This son married Mary, the daughter: of Wim. Marshall, of Anson county. This Wm. Marshall, and his father, James Marshall, and his son Clement Marshall were Icading men of Anson county, and represented their f-liow citizens often in the Legislature. (See Wheelers History of Anson.) The children of Win, B. McCcorkle were James Marshal McCorkle, Esq., of Salisbury, Dr. John R. McCorkle, of Mooresville, Wm, A. Me- Corkle, of Jefferson county, Tenn.; and his daughters, Sarah, Mary, Cornelia, and Cax- oline, 2. The second son of Francis McCorkle, by his second wife, was Francis McCorkle, who lived on Mountain Creek, and married Elizabeth Abernathy. Their children were Matthew Locke alcCorkle, Esq., of Newton, Thomas, David, and Fanny. David died during the war in the Confederate army. 3, Another son was named Thomas, who moved to Georgia, ; 4.

J. H. Crozier, of Tennessee. There are various deyreesand-stages of exhausted or worn ont lands, Some writers recommend clover as a re- claimer for exhausted lands ; but a soil that wiil grow clover is by no means €xhaustcd—at all events, it is not the exhausted soil we shall allude to. What we shall refer to is old fields that have been turned out for and have grown up with briers, years, pine, bushes or sedge grass. Even these lands can be Pecinimed: and be made profitable w hile being restored. Nature makes an etfort to restore or heal all wounds that are inflicted up- on her.

Col. Wm. Penn Adair, First Assistant chief of the Cherokee Nation, passed on to the happy hunting grounds from Wash- ington, on the morning of the 23d instant, after a brief illuess. Col. Adair was well known in this city, and he stood in high esteem with all who knew him. He was aman of great ability, superior culture, fine persoval presence and social qualities of the highest order. He combined the best bloed of the Anglo-Saxon_and Indian races, in about equal proportions. Yet he was essentially an Indian. Heé wasa noble represeptative of that proud and brave race which once owned this conti- nent, but which is perishing before the greed, treachery and cruelty of the con- glomerate mass of meu of all nations which constitute the emigrating and ad- venturous elements of life on the frontier. Col. Adair was born in the Cherokee Na- tion in {828. His people were driven fromm their home in Georgia into the wilderness across the Mississippi, when he was but a boy of seven years. They were guaran- toed peaceable possession of the couutry known as Indian Territory, and to which the Indians gave the beautiful name of “Ok-La-Ho-Ma”—Home of the Red Man. They were to have and to hold it in com- mon with the other Indiaus of the Five Nations, by virtue of patents which Pres- ident Van Buren issued to them, as well as by treaties made by President Jack- son. For many years past certain rail- road corporations and the people of the border states have been besieging Con- gress to break faith with these Indians, and open that country to settlement by the white man. Colonel Adair bas been, during all these years, the Leonidas of his people. He has confronted a host of scoundrelly lobbyists backed by wealthy corporations year after year, He was an able statesman, a profound lawyer and an eloquent orator, and, above all, an honor- able geutleman, aud a warm-hearted, loy- al friend. He has fallen in the widst of a brilliant and useful career. buf a brave and true hero that he was he fell at his post. He had coma to the capital in ad- vance of the coming session of congress to organize his forces preparatory to the con- flict which is pending on that infamous railroad scheme known as Vest’s Oklaha- ma Bill. His death is an irreparable loss to his people, and tothe whole Indian race. His name will go down in the an- nals of America beside those of King Phillip, Massasoit, Red Jacket, John Ross and other distinguished Indian chieftaius. His body was embalmed, euclosed in an elegant casket aud forwarded in care of a special committee of the Masonic frater- nity of which he was a member in high standing, to his home at Vinita, Tadian Yerritory. ‘This was tn aceordance his own request.

An English writer, in noticing this fact, hints that Americans show more in interest in the historical features of England Englishmen, and assigns as one of the reasons therefyr the system of education “which gives to the scholars a better idea of the history of rere than that of About the same sort of defect prevails here iwith us, and it is a common failure than do mistaken their own country. here that pupils are better grounded in the history of England than they are in that of America since the land- ing of the Pilgrims.

A Gymnast’s Plunge from a Trapeze 1,000 Yards from the Ground. New York, Nov, 1.—A dispatch from Paris to the Hvening Telegram says a frightful and probably unprecedented bal- loon accident eccurred last evening at Courbevoie, near Paris. A large crowd had assembled to witness the novel and perilous ascent of a gymnast called An- guste Navarre, who, with inexplicable toolhardiness, had volunteered to perform anumber of athletic feats on a trapeze suspended from a Montgofiere balloon named the Vidonvillaise. Rejecting the advice of bystanders, Navarre refused to allow himself to be tied to the trapeze. There was no car attached to the balloon. At about 5 o'clock the Vidonvillaise was let loose from its moorings and rose ma- jestically inthe air. Naverre, hanging on to the trapeze, appeared quite couti- dent and repeatedly saluted the speeta- tors. When, however, the balloon had reach- ed a height of nearly one thousand yards the crowd was horrified to see him sud- denly let go the bar and fall. The tragic we cannot help thinking that, in spite of a different reputation, the people of that country are strangely neglect- ful of their monuments of the past.” oe IxcomBUSTIBL E WRITING PAPER. —Two Spaniards have lately taken out a patent in Spain for making wri- ting paper incombustible.

Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences in his youth, but commenced the study of them when he was between fifty and sixty years of age. After this time he became a most learned antiquarian and lawyer, Boccacio was thirty-five years of age when he commenced his studies in potite litera- ture. Yet he became one of the greatest masters of the Tuscan dialects: Dante and Plutarch being the other two.

The ame of the stack is Rockall. The great sand bank frem which it arises abounds with cod. For nearly two years aman, through the col- umns of the London Spectater, has been calling the attention of various scientific societies aud individuals to the suitabili- ty of Rockall for a meteorological station, and has been offering, under certain cons ditions, to reside there alone fora twelve- month, and take a series of observations. With a foundation of seventy fect above the sea, or even less, he says, there would be no difficalty in fixing a house upon Rockall which would laugh at) the wind One chamber would do, and it could be made of stout timber locked in ring-bolts, or to be bailt of concrete. If connected by telegraph to the main- and spray. land, Rockall would, this pesson thinks, be an agreeable residence ; and even in its insvlated state #t would be endurable enoug) if the occupant was cheered by the reflection that he was a pioneer in noble cause.

Capitalists from all sec- | tions ofthe Northern States,after thorough- ly examining her mines, have purchased / them, erected the necessary machingsy vand have worked them with sellot other ) than the most grautying results. ‘The ‘mining interests in this State in the past, (have been a source of much benetit to the | people, and have yielded immense. re- turus to investors aud mining speculators. | To may truthfully aftirin that mining in this State is still in its infaney; that while | she has been lavishly tavored by men of 1 | | | | | "extensive mining -experience and capital . in years past, still, the near future will | bring forth a wonderful inerease in all | mining matters that will astonish the peo- | ple. } It may be somewhat interesting to look into the make-up of one very important | and inflential company that ouly a short. | lime ago) purchased a property in Mont- gomery county. The company [ have ; reference to is the Beaver Dam Gold Min- ing Co., which was organized under the laws or the State of Virginia, with a now- inal capital of $300,000. 1 will briefly give a personaloft the members of this company and then endeavor to lay before / your readers a discription of the property i they have purchased, and from = which ‘they will undoubtedly reecive a handsome ) return, ‘The President of this Company is Mi. 'John H. Flagg, of Washington, D. C., | who held an office in the United States Senate during Graat’s administration, Ife is by profession a lawyer, but of late / cars bas interested himself quite exten- sively in mining in Colorado and other Western States. The Secretary and Trea- surer is Mr. Joseph A. Swink, Paymaster ‘in the Navy Pay Office at Washington, D. C. Mr. Swink is a naval officer and was Paymaster aboard the ‘‘Kearsage” when she sunk the Alabama. General James A. Garfield, President-eleet, is one of Beaver Dam’s directors, and it would be useless tu add more, for he is known far and wide, Hon, Benj. Wilson, of Wilson- burg, W. Va., whohas just been elected to Congress for the fourth consecutive time, and who, by-the-way, is considered one of the ablest criminal lawyers in his State, is also a member of the Company. Hon, J.J. Jackson, of Parkersburg, West Vir- ginia, who was formerly - Judge of the United States District Court and who, only a short time since (October) was elected Governor of his State, is Vice- President. Dr. George Peck, of Philadel- phia, Pa., Surgeon in the Navy, is a mem- ber. Mr. J. W. Brown of the firm of Smith, Brown & Co., of Clarksburgh W. Va., is another member. Hou. Peter D. Wigginton, of Muced, California, one of the ableat lawyers in the Golden State, and who has served two terms in Con- gress,constitutes the eighth member. The ninth member is James M. Selever of New York City, a large mining capitalist and speculator who is new interested very ex- tensively in mines in Idaho and the West- ern States. * ‘The Superinteudant of the Beaver Dam Mine is Mr. Joseph C. Edgeumbo, former- ly of Valleyo, Cal., a regwar California Wer, who built the Valleyo City Water Works, and was for many years Superin- teudent of the same. He was contractor under the Navy Department in 1878, and that year successfully supplied the Mare Island Navy Yard with water. , The Hon. John K. Luttrell of Santa Rosa, California, a lawyer by profession, constitutes the eleventh member of the Company. Mr. Luttrell has been fre- quently elected to the legislature of his state, and has served three terms in Con- gress. He has been in public office in the neighborhood of twenty years, and strange to say, he has never yet suffered the hu- miliation of defeat. He is now interested in Silver mines in Arizona Territory, as- sociated with the Walker Bros. of New York, Senator Butler of South Carolina, and Ex-Sevator Norwood ot Georgia. The property which these gentlemen have purchased comprise an immense tract of land containing between eight and nine hundred acres,and as I above mentioned, is sitnated in Montgomery county, about one mile distant from the Yadkin River. 4 Beaver Dam Creek flows directly through | the property and empties into the Yadkin a short distance below the Conpany’s lower line. In former days nearly all this land belonged to an old native miner by the vame ot Thomas Forney, who, it | is said amassed a large fortune by gold hunting in a primitive manner, and, hav- ing as he supposed, a sufficiency of this , world’s goods,he rapidly became indolent ‘allowing his affairs to go to rack and ruin, -and finally he fell a victim to the intexi- cating cup. Our present very worthy and hilhly honored State Vreasurer, Dr. J. Ms. Worth, was once the owner of a well stocked store of goods upon the property, and mined along the banks of Beaver Dam with good success. Several years ago there was working in the Creek beds and along the banks at obe time, some two or three hundred men. Most of their work was done with a pan 2nd rocker, and it is said that nuggets of considerable size were frequently found by these ambitions prospectors, the larg- est ever positively known weighing over tive ounces. Adventurous miners hear- ing of the Golden news from the Beaver Dam vicinity, packed their scanty effects ; and made their way tothescene of and life activity; to the very spot where some poor fellow now and then had ‘struck it.” | . And even now you can find many an old resident about there who will venture to | narrate the singular, tale of one lucky prospector, who, feeling exceedingly rich would occasionally shoulder his rifle and | instead of using the usual lead would feel proud in bringing down his squirrel with ‘a golden ballet. Times were very lively i about there in those days; and the gold fever had raged to such extent that even women caught it and were carried away | by its fascinating alluremente, Of the eight hundred odd acres which includes the whole Beaver Dam district is is believed there are at least some four hundred which is anderlaid by an aurif- erous bed of gravel. This gravel bed is from two to four feet in thickness and will probably average some three feet over the whole 400 acres. It is covered by an alluvial deposit of an average depth of five to six feet. The general character of the gravel is exceedingly good, and contains all the way to the bed-rock more or less course and fine gold. Thus far very little active work has been done by _the company, and that only preparatory ‘and prospective. A pit of fifty cubic ' yards worked at the commencement yield- ed to the company 86 dwts. of gold—about | $1.70 per cubic yard. Whatever work ‘has been done on the property has only substantiated the idea advanced by men of ability and experience that it is one of the richest mines in the State. Beaver | Dam Creek supplies an abundance of wa- ter for mining purposes nearly the entire year, and its waters are sufficient to carry off tailings to the Yadkin where they are rushed on to the ocean. The company have erected upon their premises some half dozen. buildings for the proper work- ing of the mine. They have also a boiler of forty horse-power, and one of David- son’s hydraulic pumps—with five inch pipe—capable of throwing five hundred gallons of water per minute, anda large | quantity of tubing and spiral riveted pipe together with hose and other e&sentials. It is expected that active operations will be commenced upon this mine in a very short time, and when inaugurated will be pushed on with a vim by one of the strongest companies that ever operated a mine in tne Old North State. OO Russian nowspapers are conducted on an economical basis, and the publishers tell no lies. The Moscow Teatrailnian Gazeta recently incurred the displeasure of the Government, and an officer of the press bureau was sent to the office to ar- rest the proprietors. The only person in the establishment was the publisher, and he was sternly summoned to feteh the editor. The publisher went apstairs and returned speedily with a large pair of scissors, saying, “Here, sir, is the editor.” The officer was rather disconcerted, but soon recovered himself, and exclaimed more sternly than ever, “No nonsense ; fetch me the sub-editor.” Again the pub- lisher departed, and again returned, this timo with a pot of paste and a brush. “Theae, sir,” he said, ‘‘are the sub-edi- tors.” ——_—_~ The vanity of loving fine clothes and fashions avd valuing ourselves by them ia one of the most childish pieces of folly that can be. The South Carolina State Library con- tains 28,000 volumes? Our Refnge and ‘our Stren gth.- The farmers and other industrial classes of our State vaturally and very properly felt deep concern in the questions involv- ediv the late election. North Carolina nat- urally, and we think, very properly took position on the national issues with what is termed the “solid South.” Solid, not as against the North, not for the accom- plishment of selfish designs, uot against the constitution, not against any policy or measures that might best promote the interests of the entire country, but against a possibly return to the carpet-bag rule against oppression and injustice, arm above ail, against what we honestly con- ceived to be dangerous cneroachments on constitutional liberty, and an evident tendency to a centralized government. Against this and ali these our State will always be found “solid.” But we have been defeated in the na- tional coutest. In the administration of the national government for the next four years we need not concern ourselves, for) as tar as possible our councils will be ig- nored. What, then, is our duty? It is to go to wark earnestly to build up North Carolina. Nothing is to be gained by re- grets and repinings. No people or State is better able to meet emergencies. We have no fear of those social and political disruptions which so threaten and dis- turb the peace of Europe and the North- ern States, the outcroppings of socialisin Nihilisin, Communism and labor strikes. We have no stocks and bonds in lordly : monopolies to be crushed by financial re- Vulsious. We have no great commercial centres to be ruined by tickle and treach- erous speculation. We can have no horde of paupers to aap our energies. But we have one of the finest countries in the world. And what nobler employ- ment could enlist the energies of a people | than the developing of the great resources | of our God-favored State, and having it! possessed and enjoyed by an enlightened law-abiding, peaceful people? Bat with all its varied and spleudid capabilities it is idle to talk of home indepondenceso long as we go to the North for everything from n tooth pick to a President. We may plead in vain for a higher type of man- | hood and womanhood among the masses, so long a8 we allow the children to grow ap in ignorance. We may look in vain for the dawn of an era of enterprize, prog- ress and development, s0 long as thou- sands and millions of money are deposit- ed in our banks on four per cent. interest when its judicicu investment in manufac- tures would) more thai quadruple that rate, and give protitable employment to thousands of our now idle women and children. , Out of our political defeats we must work out a glorious material and industrial tri umph. We must have less politics and more work, fewer stump speakers and more stump pullers, less tinsel and show and boast, and more hard, earnest work. We must make money —it is « power in this practical business age. ‘Teach the boys and girls to work and teach them to be proud of it.

So A leading merchant in Warrenton, Va. has discovered that he can buy cottonades cheaper from Shouthern factories than in the North. And he is not alone in the discovery. One of our leading spiuners and weavers at one time last year was behind in Southern orders about 400,000 yards.

We mean the bore that is constantly haunt- ing your place of business and assumes to bea connoisseur. of the sort of work you do. There are such chaps who are al- ways ready to criticise the way a para- graph is written, and presume they also pride themselves in their taste in laying out a corpse. These fellows always make ind that was how we got the dislike of one who was in our office yesterday. We ook up a clipping and handed it to one or two gentlemen who were present, and askee them if they saw any fun in it. rhey replied that they did not. Then we turned to the bore and said: “There are some men that can’t appreciate a real retined, delicate joke ; they need to have the fun beateu into them with a club; bat you're one of the kind who kuows and enjoys a real elegant joke when you see it.” .Ile replied that he flattered himself that he did. Then read this,” we said, and handed him the clipping. He read it. He seemed really to see the point of the joke. He at ouce burst into a convul- sive fit of laughter. He stayed in it; he grew red in the face, and the tears stream- ed from his eyes in his agony of mirth. The others present got the paragraph away from him, and read it and tried to sce the point of it, and then asked us to ,explain it to them. The bore had just got calmed down enough to murmur: 2 Phat’s awfally rieh!” when we looked at the paragraph and exclaimed: ‘Good heavens, we’ve made a mistake; we gave you a news item instead of the joke.” Then the bore suddenly stopped laughing and the others began. But he didn’t ‘get over being red in the face. The boys at , once asked him to explaiu the joke in the /bews item that made him laugh, but he merely grabbed his hat and left in) quick time, and three men anda dog could n’t chase him into our office now.—LEr. fn = Captain Eads’ Ship Railway. The Scientific American of this week contains two full page illustrations of Captain Eads’ proposed railway for trans- porting ships with their cargo across contipents. Captain Eads claims by his plan to be able to take loaded ships of the largest tonuage one to the other across te Isthmus of Panama, as readily as can bedone by a canal after the Les- sup plan, and ata mach less cost for en- from ocean givecring construction. The project ls certainly bold and in- genious, and the projector anticipates no serious difficullies in) carrying forward his enterprise. The engravings referred to inthe Scientific American show the ‘proposed construction of not only the railroad, but the appliances tor traus- ferring the ships from the water to the raul. In addition to the large number ot en- gravings, illustrative of engineering works, iuventious and new discoveries which ap- pear weekly, the Scientific American has, during the past year, devoted considera- ble space to illustrating and deseribing leading establishments devoted to differ- ent manuiacturivg industries. This feature has added = very much to the attractiveness and usefulness of /the paper. More than fifty of the most important industrial establishments of country have been illustrated, and the processes of the different manufactures . described in its columns.

Yesterday United States Commis- sioner Purcell tried a somewhat novel case, in fact what may be termed a disastrous case for the. prosecutor and ‘a veritable example of the “biter bitten.” The prosecutor was one James Whitaker, a rather sharp-lookiag mulatto, who charged Mr. Hardy Burt and Mr. Joseph Goodwin with intimidation in that at the late election, in Buckhorn township, they conspired together to deprive him of his vote for President of these United States. The question was asked in ‘the trlal if Whitaker had not been convicted of an infamous crime. This elicited the fact that he had been con- victed of false pretences in the matter of some twenty-five bushels of cotton seed. Clerk of Superior Court Up- church was sent for and read from the docket of Wake criminal court that at the May term, 1877, the jury returned a true bill against Whitaker for false pretences, This settled the matter. The defendants were discharg- ed, it being shown that they had noth- ing to do with the matter. The prose- cutor suddenly changed his position, and beeame once more.a defendant, for the solicitor of the Superior Court reinstated the case and took posses- sion of Whitaker. Failing to give bail he was put in jail. | anne eee The Situation in Tennessee. WASHINGTON, November 9.—The latest returns of the Tennessee Legis- lature, received from Democratic sour- ces, place the Senate at fifteen Demo- crats and ten Republicans, the House at thirty-seven Denrocrats, thirty-sev- en Republicans and one Greenbacker. If the alleged ineligible Republican member of the House (McKenna) is thrown out and a Democrat substitu- ted,the figures would be 88 Democrats, (thirty-six Republicans and one Green- backer. This would give the Demo- crats a majority in both houses, and a majority on joint ballot of six; but if | McKenna retains his seat, the Demo- ‘cratic majority on joint ballot will be From Republican sources it is five, ‘claimed that eleven of the twenty-five State Senate will be of that party and thirty-eight members of the House out severty-five. Ifthe Republicans obtain control of the House they may unseat enough Democrats to givethem a majority on joint ballot. ‘This con- tingency make the Democrats a little ‘apprehensive. In view of the situa- | ton, hope is entertained at Republi- can headquarters here that they may, jattec all, get the Senator trom Tennes- see. ene eer ce | In Lincoln county, Nev., there is a spring of ice-cold water that bub- i bles up over a rock and disappears | on the other side, and no one has been | able to find where the water goes. At another point in the same county isa large spring, about twenty feet square, that is apparently only sume eightcen inches deep, with a saudy bottom. The sand can be plainly seen, but on looking closer it is perceived that this sand is in a perpetual state of unrest and no botton has ever been found. It is said that a teamster, on reachip this spring one day, deceived by itd apparent shallowness, concluded to” soak one of his wagon wheels to cure the looseness of its tire.

Railroad through to its terminus at Paint Rock will mark a pew era in the history of the section of the State west of Salis- vary. This will be especially true of all the country lying immediately on the road. It will plage us ona great truuk line, and instead of the two trains a day earry freight and passengers, as at pres- ent, there will be fast express trains and a number of freight trains. Every enter- prise will be quickened, and new ones will spring up as the result of the increase in our means of transportation aud the pumerous markets that will be opened up to the country in the west. We look forward with bright hopes to the cample- tion of the road; nor du we believe the time will be long till all this shall be broaght about.

We will now have, for the first time ‘in the history of the State, the old idea of Morehead, Caldwell, Graham and gathers of a North Carolina system, from Beau- fort harbor to the Tennessee line, under one management, of the same gauge.

It was resolved ta appoint committees as fol- lows: On frauds and coercion perpetrat- ed in this city by Repablicans; a commit- tee to investigate nut more than twelve election districts in order to thoroughly prepare a case for consideration by Con- gress, and that they include in this in- vestigation the perseeution of colored Democrats by colored Republicans; a committee on Federal intimidation to in- vestigate the doings of Davenport and his men; a committee on prevention of frauds in the future; a committee on finance. Resolutions were adopted setting forth-that there is good reason to believe that a large fraudulent vote was polled in this city by gangs of repeaters in the pay of the Republicans, and that bribery and coercion were alsa extensively prac- ticed, and that such wrongs shall be ex- posed and punished; that the several Democratic organizations of the city and county be requested to co-operate with the committees to be appointed in carry - ing out the objects for which they are appointed ; and that copies of these pro- ceedings be transmitted to the different county committees throughout the State, with a request that they similarly orgau- ize and investigate. ee a The Returns, Full returns fron eighty-four countica, which gave Vance 112,643 and Settle 10I,- 483, now give Hancock 113,759, Gartield, 105,038. The aggregate Vance and Set- tle vote in these counties was 215,126; the aggregate Hancock and Garfield vote js 218,902 ; the aggregate Jarvis and Bux- ton vote is 216,277. It would seem, there- fore, that the vote polled is larger than that cast in 1876. In these counties Han- cock received 1,1]6 more than Vance, and Garfield 3,660 more than Settle. Jarvis received 1,404 less than Vance, and 2,520 less than Haneock. Buxton received 3,555 more than Settle, 105 less than Gar- tield. Vance’s majority in these cqunties is 6,201. It is probable that the yote of the State will be five or six thousand in excess of the vote of 1876, and the Demo- cratic voto will be very nearly as great asin that year. In the 4th, 5th and 7th districts, our vote is larger than it was in 1876, The tigures show that while the Democrats have held their own, the Re- publicans -have cast about 3,500 votes more than in 1879. ‘These deductions are drawn from the figures we have. Other returns may change them somewhat, but we do not think to any great extent... Ac- cording to the figures received by us, Jar- vis’ wajority is 6,331, with Watauga and Dare stil to hear from.

Thrown on her own resources, rejected in her proffers of fraternity by the ma- jority of the Northern people and taught by repeated lessons that her participa- tion ip national elections is the aignal not ony for ribald abuse and unstinted ca- lumny, bet for vindictive opposition to the candidate for the presidency whom she may chance to support, the duty of the South is to retire hereafter from the field of party conventions and party nom- inations, to preserve her political auton- omy intact, te advance her own mate- rial and business interests with all the strength and vigor that lie in her condi- tiny of homogenity and political solidi- ty, tou establish within her berders, boun- tifally blessed as abe is with the lavish- ed riches of Nature and with a moral and conservative population, an’ imper tum in imperio which shall restore to her wasted energies—wasted by war and un- fostered since that war by the national government—-the life which they should exhibit. ee ee eee Venality. That eleetious in the United States are getting to be controlled more and more by money, is a sad and an alarming fact. When votes can be purchased by whole- gale, as was done in the late gleetjon in the North, the government passes into the hands of the wealthy classes, and ecases to be a government of the people exceptin name, It becomes the govern- ment of an arjstocracy of wealth. The great object of the plutocracy which rules this country, is to shape the policy of the government so as to subserye their glass interests. They care little as g class for what is known as publje virtue.

C. Butler, of South Carolina, sho on be-, ing asked the reason fur Hancock's defeat, he thus explained it : “Oh, there are a multitude of reasons. I thought at one time that he certainly would be eleced, but I was anxious from. the be- ginning about the immense amount ef mon- ey that the Radicals could command. You seo, there is a large purchasable vote at the North, that can be carried for anybody or anything for money. Our people know nething about it. I saw enough in New England summer before last to satisfy meas to how clections could be carried at the North. In political contests of high excite- ment this element is always afloat, and the party that has the most money as a corrup- tion fund, and will use it, can get them and they turn the tid’, Why, every large ccrpce ration at the North sympathized with and actively aided the Radieal party, because the Radical party believe in centralizing everything, making the strong stronger, the weak weaker, the rich richer and the poor poorer. The mammoth railroad corpora- tiens, as tyrannous over their employes as any petty principalities in Europe, with president-kings, as fond of power and wield- ing as much of itas many of the subordi- ‘nate potentates of the Old World, prefer Radical rule because they can pure use what legislation they want when the Radicals are in power, and they cannot when the Demo- crats are I would not be understood as saying that all Republicans are purchas- able, but they generally are of casier politi- cal virtue than the Democrats.” On the subject of investigating the vote of the State of New York, he said: “It New York desires to investigate her election, why should she not do so? Why should the country yet on its head because New York preposes to purify her election ¢ If the Radicals have colonized voters er cor- rupted the suffrages of that State in any way the people of New York ought to know it; and if they want a Cougressional committee to make the investigation they ought to have one. ary measures, or to any measures which, by technical points, weuld reverse the popular vote; but that New York has a right to in- vestigate [have no doubt.” The Reapportionent. How it is proposed to Count the South Out. Special to Baltimore Sun. Noy. 14.—It was stated some time since in this correspondence that the superintendent of the census would @n- deavor to send to Cangress at the next ses- sion complete tables of the population of the different States, in order that the new apportionment for members of the House of Representatives could be promptly made. Prominent Republicans say that even if the tables of pepulation are furnished no new apportionment shall be made at this session, because the Republicans in both Houses will oppose .every Inovement to that end. The Republicans it is said, determinded that the new apportionment shall be made entirely under Republican auspices, and will therefore sez to it that it is postponed until the next Congress. WASHINETOX, have it is said there isa scheme in hand to reduce the representa- tion of the South. The fourteenth amend- ment to the constitution provides in terms that when the right to vote is denied to the male inhabitants of any State, “except for participation in rebellion or ether crime, the basis for [representation therein shall be re- duced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear tothe whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.” The elaim will be made that the bulk of the celered voters in sever- al of the States are prevented from voting, and the effort will be to reduce the repre- sentation accordingly, There is no doubt that this idea has been broached by Repub- licans here high in the confidence of their party, and it is to be expected that an effort will be made to carry out the idea in Con- gress. But for various reasons it is very questionable whether any such plan can be made to sncceed. a The New York ballot.law prescribes how the tickets shall be printed, and provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to cast any ballot printed contrary to the pro- visions of the act. There are 20.900 elec- tion districts in the State, and commenting on the protests against the counting of un- lawful votes now being made by the Demo- crats all over the State, the World asks what is there improbable in the assumption that at least one Republican clectoral ballot un- lawfully printed as to “caption” or endorse- ment, and of course, therefore, unlawfully cast and null and vid. and of no effect to make a President, has been connted in cach election district? Good citizens will see this, and frown down all attempts ta get up a riotous‘and revolutionary spirit in oppo- sition to the calm and impartial operation of the law. For our part, we believein the enforcement of the law, attd in maintaining the purity of elections. If there were fifty thousand illegal Republican ballots cast in New York, we would urge their being thrown out, and we shall not urge it the less because the result world be to elevate that peerless soldier and devoted friend of the constitution gnd law, W. 8S.

Let the Republican party find some method by which onr State and city governments in this seetion may be always kept uuder the contro! of the best element in our socicty, and they will have discovered the true key to the solution of the problem of the solid Soath- and the means by which to break ‘that solidity ; but uutil then, in self-defence, we should preserve some sort ef unavimity among our white people.-- Richmond State. fe Our readers must have been struck with the excellent common sense embodied in the report of Gen, Schofield in connection with the Whittaker case and the failure of the high pressure system adopted at West Point to break down the barriers which the God of nature has set-up. The effort to force whites and negroes into social equality has fifiled and will fail always. The purposes of the Radical. party, as manifested in their past legislation, to force social equality up- on the Southern white people are not by any means to be ignored, — Its course in that particular should not be forgotten or for- given. Itisin fact one of the greatest re- proaches to that corrupt party, and betrays a lamentable ignorance of human nature and a total disregard of the wishes, preju- dices and rights ef the white people.

The largest record of im- migration was in 1854, when the arrivals were 319,000..

Several animated discassiuns occurred during the day. The report of Rey. C, M. Payne, agent of evangelistic labor, awakened an earnest debate. Rev. J, Rample, Rev. Roger Martin, Rev. S$. M. Smith and Rev. Joseph Evans spoke on the subject. Ou the subject of the evan- gelization of the colored people, Rev. 8S. 1. Chester made au interesting speech. And ou this watter there was more than usnal interest developed. A colored min- ister Was introduced to the Syaod and nade some remarks with reference to his work, and was followed by members of the Synod, An event of wore than ordinary jnterest was the reading of a memorial of the dis- tinguished and useful mis-ionary, Rev. Daniel Lindley, D. D., for forty years a missiouary ia Africa. The Synod heard with deep attention the tributes of va- iious brethren, and the paper was adopt- ed by arising vote, and the Syaod was led in selemn prayer by Rev. Dr. Robert Hett Chapman, The statistical report to the general assembly represented that the Syuod con- sists Of 115 ministers and 227) churches, aud has under its eare 8 licentiates and 16 candidates. Many of the members left yesterday, but the closing exercises were, as usual, solemn and inipressive, and quite a pum- ber remained to the close. The singing of the Synod in its parting hymus was noticeable, and the voices of many Chris- titn men joined in the magnificent dox- ology. Rev. Di. Joseph R. Wilson, of Wil- mingtoa, preached at 7:30 o'clock, and notwithstanding an exceedingly inclem- ent night more than a hundred assembled for divine worship. Dr. Wilsou’s sermon was on the text: ‘And this is the record, that God hath given unto us eternal life, and this life isin His Sen.” It was rich in thought, and the drapery of the thought was exceedingly elegant and Geantiful. His rhetorie and diction are most facina- ting, his manner impressive and his dis- cussion vigorous. From the News & Observer, Nov. 16th. This body has been in sessiou in our city during the past week, its meeting be- ginning on Wednesday night, and the Synod adjourned, after the transaction of the usual business, on Saturday night. We have given daily reports of the busi- ness of the body, yet such reports are but bare statementsof what was done. There were several discussions of unu- sual interest that left a profound impres- sion on the community, making our more cultured and earnest people ponder. Among these was the able address of Rev. Dr. Wilson, the secretary of foreign missions, His venerable appearance, his manifest earestness and zeal, his solemn ainl urgent statements, his past services, his tender devotion to the cause, all con- spired to make his address one to be re- membered, which left its impress not on- ly on the Synod but on the community. Another notable address was that of Rev. Dr. Hepburn, president of David- son College, on education, and chiefly on college education and claims of Davidson College. He clearly detined distinction between a college and a university ; his exposition of what a university really is in the European view of it ; his presenta- tion of the claims and advantages of Davidson College so modestly and brave- ly stated; his defence of ‘denominational achools—not to teach denominationalism but to ecucate and drill the mind; his plainly declared views of the uses of an education and che value of the human mind to be educated, and many other and produced a marked effect on the large and exceeding intelligent audience gathered to hear him. One of the most intoresting discussions of the Synod was that evoked by the report on evangelistic werk in the State, engaged in by Rev. C. M. Payne, of Wilmington; Rev. Roger Martin, of Shoe Heel; Rev. S. M. Smith, of Washington; Rev. Joseph Evans, ef Robeson, and Rer. S. H. Chester, of Lowesville. We were interested not only in the views presented in these able though impromptu speeches, but in the illustration of readiness and freedom, of earnestness and candor which they afforded. Mr, Chesters remarks eu the evangelization of the color- ed people awakened special attention and were full of interesting statements. The meeting on foreign missions, the re- ports on other enterprises of the church, the aa!licts of members on unexpected issues, for we. Cea with points not here noted, were all well put bod: er = 2 eS a The aed adeplea. as we believe is its shown.- From many “expressions we have heard uttered, we aresure it was no-unmear- ing form. Many special courtesies were ex- tended which were appreciated. The prin- cipal of Peace Institute gave on Friday evening, between 5 and 7 o’clock,-an ex- ceedingly agreeable reception. And the at- tentions of the citizens in other ways were agreeable and enjoyed. We are sure such expressions of appreciation are grateful to our people, and it has been a pleastfre to the whole city, as well as tothe church in which it met, to have the Synod in Raleigh. To have so intelligerfit, learned, useful and de- voted a body even though for se brief a time, is a privilege not to be undervalued. Yesterday was spent by those who remain- ed in sight-seeing. Many visited the capi- tol, the penal and charitable institutions of the State located here, the geological muse- um, Peace Institute and other places. We regret that the weather was so unfavorable much of the time during the sessions of the body, and that Raleigh was seen in its least attractive guise with muddy strects, bare trees and dead leaves, and so many flowers not blooming. We hope the cordial wel- come within doors has obliterated the cheer- lessness without. We forgot. to mention specially, as we in- tended, the commendation given by this vencrable body to the Oxford Orphan Asylum. Presbyterians have not been be- hind in extending substantial aid, but kind words, too, are worth something. a What the Present Rate of Immi- gration is Likely to Lead To. New York, Nov. 11.—The Ameriean consul at Zurich is alarmed because of the present emigration to the United States. He sees that one-fifth of the pop- ulation of America is already composed of foreigners ; that if this proportion con- tinues there will be 16,000,000 in twenty years, and this ratio is liable to be doub- led or trebled, and he fears lest’ the con- trol of this country may already be slip- ping out of the hands of the American people. He thinks that the flood which is bringing prosperity with it is under- mining the foundations of the national government aud sWeeping away all yes- tiges of historical development. ‘How long,” he asks, “before there may be no America except impame, no Americans, no Plymoath Rock, no Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, no fixed remembrance of the past ? Our imigration is drowuing these things out.” In the restribution of the population of the world which is now going on, the consul says, the lion's share of the ignorance and poverty is setting down in the United States, aud that America has come tu be regarded by European economists as a cheaper poor- house and jail than any to be had at He asks : “Is the end, then, even for self-protection, a standing army and akivg?” The consul: proposes the sub- stitution of the passport system in the place of unrestricted immigration, so that no alien shall be allowed to laud unless he has a certifieate from some American consul to the effect that he is neither a a convict, fugitive from justice, nor debtor; that he is able-bodied and has means for self-support. ———- <b — Arctic Exploration. no home. Report of Capt. Hooper, of the Corwin— Lwo Ships of which are Lest But the Jeannette is Safe. WasHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Capt. Hooper, of the Revenue steamer Corwin has jist submitted to the Secretary of the Treasu- ry his report of the explorations of that vessel in the Arctic Ocean, North of Belir- ing Strait, during the past season, in the Arctic exploring steamer Jeannette. The Corwin made three several trips du- ring the summer through Behring’s Strait into the Arctic Ocean, going as far north and east as Point Barrow, on the Ameri- can side, and toa point within twenty- sailing and steaming altogether about four thousand miles within the Arctic Cirele. Herald Island, near which the missing whalers were last seen, was thoroughly examined, but no signs of human life were found on it. Capt. Hoop- er is of the opinion that the missing’ships were crushed by ice and all on board lost. No trace or tidings of them could be found in any part of the Arctic Ocean. Capt. Hooper reached a point only twenty-five miles east of Wrangel Land, and had a clear view of its coast for thirty or forty wiles. Nothing could be seen of the Jean- nette, and a heavy ice prevented a near- er approach. In the opinion of Capt. Hooper, the Jeannette is safe, and has probably found anchorage on the Wran- gel Land coast. He says the line of per- manent ice comes farther south in Si- berian waters than any other part of the Aretic Ocean. eee es eee We can stand it if they can.

It talks about the South “frank- ly accepting the situation, &.” That is precisely what the South has done since 1866, and still it is suspected and the bloody shirt flapped victori- ously throughout the North a few weeks ago. —Wil.

The practice of paying contestants of seats in Congress the salary and mile- age of members is & custom “more honored in the breach than in the ob- servance,” and ought to be discontin ued by all parties.

It holds a majority of the people of the United States to-day, and but for bad management in sume of the States, and the existence of two factions in the great State of New York, it would have succeeded in se- curing a majority of the electoral votes of the States, and Hancock, in- stead of Garfield, would now be the President elect. “These views, with others that might be presented, forbid, it seems to us, the disbandment of the great Democratic party ; for if it accamp- lish no good, it will at least keep the next Republican Administration with- in due bounds and conserve the best interests of the country. And that is what the party of the Constitution, whether in or out of power, should desire and what every pariotic States Rights’ Demoerat should rejoice to see.” eee ee ea The Republicans having obtained a majority at the late election in the city are systematically at work to se- cure it for the future. The plan is this: All the wealthy Republicans and the Republican press are discharg- ing white laborers, where skilled labor is not required, and filling their places with negroes from Kentucky and the two Virginias; The whites~who are being discharged will be compelled to go elsewhere tor emplyment, and from 500 to 700 negroes will take their places on the voting lists. ‘The white laborer cannot be depended on tu vote the Republican ticket ; the negro can.

The Method Manufacturers in Colnm- bus Adopted to Make Democrats Cast Republican Votes. Special Dispatch to the World. CotumbBus, Nov. 15.—The Colum- bus Buggy company of this city is one of the largest in this country, and over 600 voters are employed by its managers. The large majority of them are Democrats. Tne company sells nearly all of its work in the South, and has built up an immense busi- ness, and its managers have made for- tunes. ; Before the late election they notifi- ed their employees that if Hancock was elected they would shut down the works, while if Garfied was clected they would not only be able to main- tain present prices for labor, but in- crease them. ‘Their lawyer further posted them how to managed the work- men and stil] not evade the statutes. A census was taken of the voters, and printed lists, with name, age and resi- «lence, were placed at all the polling- places where any of them voted, and under the eye of the Kepublican tick- et-holder and challenger. By this means not a single one of them could vote the Democratic ticket without be- ing detected, and feeling that detec- tion meant dismtessal, nearly or quite 400 Democrats voted the Republican ticket, and Columbus, instead of giv- ing a Democratic majority, gavea Re- publican majority, as many other Re- publican employers adopted similar methods. Now the employees of the Buggy Company have becn informed tha ter we can “put but Hittle confidence in the Saithfulnessiof pr-ealled Demo- erats in the Nortl.,.

Heretofore the gauge was 4 fect 8} inches which corresponded with that of the A. T. & O. Road from Char- lotte to Statesville, and with the Car- olina Central from Charlotte to Wil- mington, Wedeeply regret that this change should have heen deemed nee- essary by the owners of the road, but itis their property, and they have the right to regulate the gauge as the interest of the road may require. They have a herculean task. placed on their shoulders by the terms of the eontract of sale, involving the building’ of one hundred and sixty miles of railroad through a rough mountain country. This task the State was itself unable to perform, although under a pledge to perform it. To have carried out that pledge would have involved an amount of taxation whieh the people of North Carolina were unable to un- able It was a practical impossibility to carry it out. At, that juncttre Gov, Jarvis saw a method by which the State could be relieved of this great responsibility, and a rea- sonable guaranty afforded that the road would be built. He laid the proposition of sale before the General Assembly. They approved it by an overwhelming vote of the members of both political parties, and the road passed into the hands of Best & Cu. They take it subject to an enormous burden actual and prospective, and te deny them now the right to manage it according to their own judgment, would. not be fair and just.—Fayette- ville Examiner, to endure. eee _ JUTE IN THE SoutH.—Colton, a New York journal ‘devoted to the great staples says, we make the fol- lowing extract from_a recent letter from Mr. W. H. Oliver, of Newbern, N. C.: “I, yesterday, showed a cotton bagging manufacturer from Patterson, N. J., a specimen of jute raised here. It is from 15 to 17 feet high. He was much astonished at it, having no idea that such could be raised. In a few years every yard of cotton bagging used in this country will be manufac- tured at the Suuth, from jute raised here. You can mark this as a pre- diction from me.” —- -@- & —--—-__ ___. The Asheville Citizen appears to think Charlotte ought to be abundantly satisfied with the freight rate to that point, saying: “Perishable goods, such as apples, cabbages, and onions, are now carried over the West- ern Nort Carolina Railroad to Charlotte at 15cents per cwt.; freight on the same goods to Salisbury is 18 cents per cwt. We don't see that Charlotte has any right to complain at this discrimination. Flour, meal and grain is shipped to Charlotte at 26 cents per cwt. Chestnuts are shipped to Charlette at 40 cents per ewt., and to Salis- bury at 39 cents.—Char. Observer, — There has been more discrimination to the damage of Salisbury without oom plaint than to any town in the State, and this too, in the face of her liberal efforts to build Railroads. behind such a black ground ina dim light, adds nach te the effectiveucss of a ghost story. I have shivered from head to foot as these stories haye been told. with an, hair of the nidet awa trutlifalness and with/n rigid exactness of detail, “My hair would stand on end or at least feel like it did, and the cold chills would chase one another up and down my back for hours ata time. Wheu I started home from the negro cabins, I would run every jump of the way and get into bed and cover up my head until I was almost smothered. J almost hated the negroes for telling me such awful stories and yet I could not rest till I got into their cabins and pro- voked them to the gecital. To this good day I have not been able to understand why I loved to hear a class of stories that gave me so much trouble as ghost stories did when I was a boy. I notice that children now are just as fond of these stories as [ was, and that they are affect- ed by them in the same way. I have no- ticed also that many old people are simi- larly affected by millennial theories and all that partakes of the mysterious and wonderful in preaching. Any thing that is shrouded in mystery or that is to trans- pire at some future time, has a wonderfal fascination for them. This is the class to which clairveyants, spirit-rappers, and for- tune-tellers appeal. Itis a large class, and the more ignorant they are, the more ready they are .to swallow down as Gos- pel truth that which an angel from hea- ven eould not understand. My mother did all she could to unsettle my faith in ghosts and all ghost stories. It was sim- ply wonderful how the best planned sto- ries would wither away at her touch. I felt like a fool that I did not see the weak point in them before muther got hold of astory that was hitched together like “finked sweefuess long drawn out,” I would detail it to mother with the air of triumph that characterizes a profound logician, only to see it melt like snow be- fore her breath. I never saw but one ghost in my life though I hunted for them often. It was in a graveyard about twelve o'clock on a calm, clear, moonlight night. Twas then about fifteen years old. I saw it plainly. It had a body as white as snow and was ten feet high. I saw its head, eyes, arms, legs and feet with most harrowing dis- tinctuess. Twas cold all over and my heart was up in my throat and choked There was agawful and most un- earthly groaning in the graveyard. If I had ron away as most people do at such times I would have been qualified to the facts as detailed, but they were only fan- cies, as you will see. My mother had often premised to give me fifty dollars for a ghost if I would catch one and bring it home. This was my first chance to make the money, so after silent prayer to God for help and protection I ventured up to my ghost step by step, but very slowly. It grew bigger and more ghostlike the nearer 1 got to it. It was one of the greatest ef- forts of my life to approach that awful looking object. When I was about ten feet from it the ghost vanished, and there stood before me the white palings around my father’s grave. My imagination had conjured up the balance. The groaning proceeded from a let of hogs that had made a bed in the graveyard. This was the first, last and only ghost I ever saw in my life. After that [had nu faith in ghosts nor in ghost stories. Now, boys, when you see anything you do not understand, go to it and find out what it is, and generally you will find it as harmless as the ghost I saw so distinet- ly.—Gilderoy in Macon Advocate. me, It is a real wonder that Gilderoy, after all his good training, never saw more than one ghost. I had a very similar training but was more successful than he, having scen one ghost I never could account for, and several others which evaded me, on approaching them, by turning themselves into blazes on trees, white posts, or vanishing away entire- ly. I will relate one little scare : It was the day before Easter, I was in the loft of a large ola barn, searching every cor- ner where the hay and fodder were stuwed away, for hen nests. Ihad gone in with eager expectation ef finding eggs for the holiday, and was as busy as a boy could be whose happiness depended on the venture, True, it was broad day light, but the barn was large and gloomy; and I was alone. I had just comp'eted the search of the darkest corner in the loft and had risen from hands and knees with my face to the walls. If I had crawled off as I went, with eyes peering into holes in the hay, I shauld have no story to tell; but I didnot, Just as I rose tomy feet, within two feet of my eyes, setting on the wall plate of the eld shell, was the en- tire skull of a man, clean ayd white, and sb i Sta iT hoa ak vie is Se Naa Naan Mian DS ea tai i Ee a pa aa ate Thad seen It was still in its place simply because it had no power to move.

C. eae Gi inanicseees Reading as a Fine Art, The State census tells us how many peo- ple are able te read, but it does not say how many are able te read well. Good reading is a luxury--soméewhat rare, but very attractive when it can be had. There are few ways of passing a winter evening more delightful than in listening to choice extracts from the best writers, read by one who appreciates the sentiment of the author, but is also able to render it im- pressively. There are some peems which cannot be appreciated without the aid of the living voice. The music of the rhythm does not reach the soul throngh the eye. A composition which is comparatively commonplace ma¥ be wonderfully trans- formed by the human voiee. Daniel Web- ster once came home from chureh, after hearing the late Dr. H. preach, who had such a musical instrument in his throat that he was able to charm everybody by his exquisite tone and accent, aud remarks ed to a friend that he had just heard the greatest sermon to which he had ever lis- ened iu his life. His friend borrowed the manuscript from the author, and asked permission to read the discourse in his own plain way to Mr. Webster, and when he had finished the great American ora- tor said that could not be the same sermon he had heard. With the absence of the speakers-tone-all the charm had vanished. If good reading is a great luxury, bad reading isa great abomination. Some very ordinary readers are particularly fond of reading to their familics and friends. When the fit seizes them there is no escape, and hour after hour they hob- ble along, like a creaking cart drawn by a spavined horse over a rough pavement, stumbling at all the hard words, and nev- er getting on at a decent pace, even when the ways are smoothest. Itis very dreary to be obliged te sit still and listen respect- fully while the respected head of the househeld mumbles on, mixing up the consonants and mistaking the emphasis and inverting the accents; and it is not much better when the more ambitious paterfamilias strikes off in a lofty key, and moves on with slow and pompous tread, rolling the R’s, thundering out all the big words, and overwhelming you with the dull monotony of vociferation. There is also a sing-soug style of reading, not so offensive, but itis as lalling as the racks of a cradle and works like an ano- dyue. Then there are others who have no striking defects and yet they are unat- tractive; they read mechanically, with- out much light and shade, or any special teeling or variety of tone and accent, and you are always glad when they are through. The best hand-organ wearies one after a while. There are many public men, whose busi- ness it is to usc their voice, who are very poer readers. This may be owing to some natural defect, of which they are not con- scious, and which, at any rate, they have never taken the pains to cerreet. Their breathing apparatus is in poor order or badly treated; the mechanism of the throat does not work freely ; the jaws and tongue and lips do not move flexibly ; the pitch of the voice is unnatural, or the volume is defective, or the tone is artifical; and it may be that none of the organs of speech seen to have fuir play. Others who have no special natural de- fects are poor readers from simple indif- ference. They never try to read well, and care very little whether their tones accord with the sentiment or not. They are superior to sach trifling considera- tions, and will tell you that if they can manage to make themselves intelligible they are content to let the gracer of elo- tion go—when, for the want of some of these graces, they do not make the sense of the sentence intelligible. They look down upon the art of reading with con tempt, and will leave all that sort of thing to the stage-players. There are multitudes of men in the min istry who are bad readers for the want of early training. If they have never learn- ed how to read before entering college or the seminary, they are not likely to Jeara there. There is little done in these insti- tutions to teach men how to handle the instrument by which they are to get their living. The result is deplorable.

Bawxerurt Laws.—The Boardof Trade of Boston has evgaged Hon. Joha i Dinited States Circuit Judge, to revisethe Law of 1876, and so modity it es to free it of vljectiovable featares, aud gmake itof exsier, speedier and more econ- amical execution. It is proposed to make it a permanent law—» sort of house of refuge with au ever open door, for unfor- @ueate traders, speculators. and others, whe can't pay their debts. One of the sims of Jadge Lowell was to simplify the Act of 1876, aad perhaps he has gone s0 ; bout the amended law as reported wil) still be of great leugth, with numerous sec- tieus to provide for the varjons cases that many arisv. With present lights before us we are opposed to any baukrupt law, It will be better fur all concerned tu know and feel that a debt is binding until it is paid, or forgiven by the ereditor; aud that it is a life-time business. Easy bankrupt laws are a temptation to daring speculations— desperate adventures with oue chance in jnany to make a fortnue for one, a failure suinously involving others, And in their wperation they are of mere benelit to those who execate or manage them than to the ereditors of the bankrupt, who very often find nething left after the fees of the Court and lawyers a.e pid. —— Pe eae Inrrovep Tecergoxe.—The Scientific American reports great improvement on the telephone by Jobu P, McDermott, of Galveston, Texas, Jt is a combination of parts tu be worn on the bead so that the user may hold telephonie conversation without regurd to position and listen without fatigue or ineouvenience to lect- ures, sermous, or concerts, It excludes extraneous sonnds, and by-standers can pot hear what js suid in the transmitter, The apparatus only weighs a few ounces, and therefore gives no trouble to the wearer, and enables two persons to carry or & conversation as readily as if they were in each other’s presence.

Looking back over the results ofthe late presidential election the Cincinnati En- guirer bas this to say : All the power of patronage, all the power of money, all the power of intimi- dating monopolies, all the force that skilled and desperate men could bring to bear upon the campaign, all the pow- of sectional passion and of false issues, were unable to beat the Democracy in the race fur the presidency by more than “half ahead.” The two parties passed all under the string “halfa head.” When we recollect that but sixteen years ago the Democracy carried but three States ; that twelve years ago the Democracy earried but seven Sthates; that eight years agothe Demrocracy carried but six States, and that a few days ago, against great odds, the Democratic party was fully abreast of its great antagonist, an October State. It is useless now to talk of the enormous Republican fund expen- @ed in Indiana, or of the stupendous frauds or of the Democratic inharmonies, or Democratic treacherics in the empire New York. A change of less than one hnndreth of the vote of New York—one State in the thirty-eight—would have tion of a second.

A short time since a small party of fishermen while drawing in their neta, discovered a strange looking object entangledin them, which upou examination proved to be the body of ayoung lady, which was after- wards identitied as that of Miss Elizabeth W. Black. She seems to have had a great passion for the glassy surface of the icy lake, and would not be restrained by her now bereaved parents, from almost making her home on the ice. She had been missing for ten days from home, and Several parties had gone inSsearch, but without avail. The supposition all the while had been that she had ventured on the ice before it would bear her weight, and the discovery of her much mutilated body has justified tee supposition. A num- ber of fish were drawn out with her.— Exchange, ROWAN COUNTY. BY J. it. OLD FAMILIES OF ROWAN, CONTINUED. ~_—-— Besides the old families already mention- ed, who came to Rowan ceunty at its first settlement, there were others who came af: ter the war of the Revolution, and near the close of the century. Among the most dis- tinguished of these was TUE IENDERSON FAMILY. This family was descended from Samuel Henderson, of Hanover county, Virginia, whose ancestors were from Scotland, where the name of Henderson was conspicuous among the leaders in both civil and ecclesi- astiéal affairs for several generations, Sam- ucl Henderson, married a Miss Williams whose ancestors came from Wales, <A son of this couple was the distinguished Colon- ial Judge, Richard Henderson, who came with his father to Granville county, North Carolina, in 1745. Richard read law with his cousin, Judge Williams, for a year, and was then licensed with encomiums upon his talents and acquirements. He soon rose to the highest ranks of his profession. He was appointed a judge of the Superior Court, and sustained his dignified position with fidelity and honor during the exciting and dangerous period of the Regulation, up to the time when the troubles of the country closed the courts of justice. After an hon- orable and eventful career he closed his life in Granville county in 1785. 3y his marriage with Elizabeth Kecling, he left a number of children, several of whom became citizens of Salisbury.

He has his office ou one of these, and ouly comes to the city oceasionally. We hope to be able soon to give a more definite idea of the work. The people can hardly real- ize the value of this great work. When completed, it will add much to the busi- nets juterests of Salisbury. 4)- We have heard a great deal lately of Robert Raikes, the man who started the a Sunday School in London.

The report of the corresponding secre- tary was then read. It was decided by vote that the next meeting of the Association should be held in Salem or Winsten. The Executive Committee for 1331 was then chosen, as follows: Rev. Jas. TP Lineback, chairman, Rev. TH Johnston, H N Snow, TL W Durham and H E Fries.

The afternoon ses- }sieon was taken up by addresses, most prominent amoug them was a centenary address from Mr. Wm. Murdoch. He pur- sued a line of thought, rather statistical and historical than otherwise, at the same time interesting, and at times, amusing. It was a general summary of Suuday School work in the old world. A vote of thanks was tendered Geueral Jobnston and Mr, Murdveh for their cen- tenary addresses. Adjourned to seven o'clock, p.m. SATURDAY NIGHT SS8I0N. Just after the opening service. a tele- gram was read from Rev, A B Cobb, Pre- sident of the State Baptist Association, returning greetings, and nominating tive delegutes to Torronto. The Executive Committee will ratify these nominations aud make fifteen other appointments to represent North Carolina at that place. The remainder of the eveving was de- voted to speeches. First, on ‘‘Methods of awakening and maintaining increased zeal ia Sunday Sehvol work,” aud geeond- ly, “Closing addresces by the brethren.” From the proceedings as reported.aby ve in brief, the reader may wot be impressed with the zeal’ menifested in this great work. Below will be found a list of those Visiting delegates who took (he most act- ive part in the work : of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. But the son that becamethe honor and pride of Rowan was the HON. ARCHIBALD HENDERSON. Ie was born in Granville county, Aug. 7th, 1768, and was educated in his native county, and studied law with his relative, Judge Williams. He came to Salisbury about 1790, and soon rese to eminence in his profession. Judge Murphy, in 1827, said that he was the most perfect model of a lawyer that our bar had produced. From an elaborate ealogy, written by Hon. A. D. Murphy, and found in Col. Wheeler's Sketehes, we glean the following character- istics. “He was aman of great dignity of character, and held himself above the little passions and prejudices of men. He delight- ed in studying the constitution and jurispru- dence of his country, and his knowledge as- sumed a scientifie cast. He had great res ct for authority, and gloried in the fact that he lived under a government of laws. When he entered a court of Justice he felt his re- sponsibility as an expounder of the law, and the guardian of. the rights of his clients. To his associates at the bar he was courteous, and te the younger members of his profes- sion he was especially kind and indulgent, rendering them aid when he could, in the minazement of their cases. {is speeches were gencrally brief, pointed, and conclu- sive, and in great causes his eloquence was irresistable. He did not badger witnesses, as third rate lawyers are in the habit of do- ing, but was as polite and decorous to them as te the court. As he advanced in lif: he became more accustomed to interpret the laws by the rules of common sense, and lost reverence for artificial rules, being desirous to strip off the veil of mystery from every branch of the law, and root out all the re- mains of a ridiculous pedantry that so often makes the rules of justice unintelligible to the common mind.” It js related that in 1818, when the Legislature created the Supreme Court of North Carolina, that Archibald Henderson was spoken of as one of the Jus- tices, along with John Lewis Taylor, and John Hall. Having an extensive and lucra- tive practice at the bar, and taking special delight in the active duties of an advucate, he went before the Legislature, of which he was a member, and courteously declined the honor, at the same time assuring them that his brother, Leonard Hendcersen, was better qualitied for the duties and responsibilities of that office than himself, and that it would be more congenial to his tastes. The Leg- islature thereupon accepted his declination, and clected his brother in his stead. Archibald Henderson represented his dis- trict in Congress from 1799 to 1803, and the Town of Salisbury three times in the Gen- eral Assembly. He was married to Sarah Alexander, daughter of Wi.iiam Alexander, of Caba-rus, aid grand-daughter of Col. Moses Alexander, of Colonial times. Her brother, the Hon Nathaniel Alexander, of Mecklenburg was elected Governor of North Carolina, in 1805, and is represented asa worthy member of a family yet fruitful in talent and patriotism. From this marriage of Archiba'd Henderson with Sarah Alex- ander, there sprapg two children, the late Archibald Henderson, of Salisbury, and Jane Caroline, now Mrs. Judge Boyden. Archibald Henderson, studied at Yale College and at the University of Virginia. Returning home, he setile | down near Salis- bury. Possessed of an ample estate, and he- ing of a quiet disposition, he did not feel the necessity, :r possess the disposition to enter into any of-the active and stirring pro- fessions of life, but devoted bis attention to reading and the management of his estate. John Farrier, Rey. Jas. F Lineback, E Te served his fellow citizens asa magistrate’ and for awhile as a member of the Gover: nor’s Council. A staunch and intelligen’ democrat, his opinions had. great weight with his political party. He married Miss Mary Steele Ferrand, a grand daughter of Gen. John Steele, and lived at the seat of Gen. Steele, near Salis- bury. His children were Lieut. Leonard Henderson, who was killed at the battle of Cold Harbor, iu Virginia; John Steele Hen- derson, Esq., now a member of the Salisbury bar; Richard Henderson, a lieutenant in the U. 8. Navy, now in active service, and Mary, still at home. Archibald Henderson died within the present year, 1880, and_ his re- mains were interred besde his father’s grave in the Lutheran grave yard in Salisbury. Jane C. Henderson, daughter of the Hon. Archibald Henderson, was first married to Dr. Lueco Mitchell, from the eastern part of the State. Dr. Mitchell was a surgeon on the Caroline during the siege of New Or- leans, in the war of 1812, fine physician: and a courteous and public spirited gentle man. He was an old line whig, and took a prominent part in the political affairs of his day. After the death of Dr: Mitchell, his} widow became the wife of the | HON. NATHANIEL BOYDES, then a successful lawyer in full practice. Mr. Boyden was a native of Massachusetts, born in Franklin Township, Aug. 16, 1796, and yraduated at Union College, New York, in 1821, and the next year removed to North Carolina, and settled in Stokes county, and for awhile engaged in teaching school. He studied law, and was married te Ruth Mar- tin, the daughter of Hugh Martin, Esq., of Stokes county, Our fellow:citizen, Jolin A. Boyden, Esq., and the late Nrs, Ruth Nesbit, wite of Dr. A. M. Nesbit, and Nathaniel Boyden, Jr., are children’ by this marriage. Mr. Boyden represented Stokes county in 1838, and in 1840, mabe Legislature. After cece Es the death of his st wite, he removed to Salisbury in 1842. Here he rose rapidly in popular favor, and represented his adopt- ed couaty several times in the Legislature, and his District in the Congress of the Uni- ted States. He was an industrious, entete prising, and successful Iiuwyer, and clients flocked to him wherever he practiced law. He possessed a wonderful memory, retain ingin his mind not only the law bearing upon the case, but all the testimony, how- ever voluminous, without neting it on paper. His cloguence was peculiar, always arrest- ing attention, and his audience were always sure that he was saying something to the point. At the close of the late war he was again elected to the Congress of the United States, and in April, 1871, he was clected one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, After a lone and active life, having filled many posts of honor, and exerting an influence over the minds and acts of his fellow men, he fell asleep Novy. 2), 1873. By his second marriage he left one son, Mr. Archibald Henderson Boyden, now doing business in Spartanburg, South Carolina, A brother of the Hon. Archibald IHender- son, and Judge Leonard Henderson, named John Lawson Henderson, resided in’ Salis- bury for a number of years. Ife was also a lawyer, and resided on the lot once owned by John Dunn, Esq., now by P. P. Meroney. His practice was not as extensive as his brother’s, and for a number of years he was Clerk of the Supreme Court ef North Caro- lina. Hespent much of l:isiine in) Ral i;h where he died and was buried. Another distinguished member of the Henderson family residing in Salisbury was Dr. Pleasant Henderson. Dr. Henderson was the son of Major Pleasant Ifenderson, of Chapel Hill. Major Pleasant Henderson was the son of Samucl Henderson, of Gran- ville county, and the brother of the Colonial Judge Richard Henderson, and the cousin of the Hon. Archibald Henderson of Sals- bury. The children of Col, Pleasant Hen- derson, were Dr. Alexander Uenderson, of Salisbury, Eliza, the wife of Hamilton C. Jones, Esq.; William and Tippo Sahib. The latter name, together with the fact that Ed- ward Jones, of Chatham, called a son of his, Hyder Ali, recalls a state of fecling with which we are not now ,familiar. Tippo-Sa- hib and Hyder,Ali, were two brave and pow- erful East Indian Chiefs, who resisted the English authority in H-ndustan,and so great was the animosity of many of our people against England, in the days. immediately preceeding and during the war of J812-14, that these two men gloried in calling their sons after these fierce heathen chieftains, simply becau e they were England's enem’es, Dr. Pleasant Henderson was for a longs time the most popular physician in western North Carolina. Handsome, genial, polite, skill- fulin his profession, a jovial companio:, and generous toa fault, the people loveu him dearly. He lived fora long time un- married, but at last married a lady as genial and accomplished as himself—Rebecea Wimbish, of Virginia. He died about 1850, and his remains licin the Oak Grove Ceme- tory, in Salisbury. No monument marks the spot where he sleeps, and perhaps no one knows where his graveis. Te left no child- ren, and his widow married Judge Mills of Texas, Dr. Alex. Henderson was a widower when he came to Salisbury, leaving a couple of daughters, with their maether’s relatives, near Raleigh, to be educated. He afterwards married a Miss Wimbish, sister to his broth- er’s wife. After practicing his profession here for a number ef years, he removed to Alabama. Eli: a Hen lerseon married,as before stated, MAMITON C. JONES, ESC, Many of our citizens 1emember this genial gentleman, who passed from our midst only afew years ago. His country home was Como, three miles south of Salisbury, on the Concord road. From Cel. Wheeler's Sketches we learn that Mr. Jones was a mative of Vir- ginia, born in Greenville, in 1798, and grad- uated from the University of North Garolina in 1818, in the same class with President James K. Polk, Bishop Greén, Robert Hall Morrison, D. D., and other! distinguished men. Heread law with Judge. Gaston at Newbern, and soon entered public life asa member of the Legislature, serving a num- ber of terms. For some years he was Solic- itor, and Reporter for the Supreme Court of North Carolina’ While engaged in public affairs he exercised a great influence, and his speeches were listened to with atiention by all. In July, 1832, Mr. Jones started the Carolina Watehman, in the interest of the Whig party, and continued to edit the same for a period of seven years. His paper ren- fered efficient service, and at one time he was invited to transfer it to Raleigh, but declined to do so. In 1839 he sald the pa- per to Pendleton & Bruncr, and the last named editor has continued to edit and pub- lish the Watchman ever since, with two or threc shert suspensions, a period of forty-one years. As a humorist, Mr. Jones was net often excclled, possessing an inexhaustible fund of anecdotes, and the power to relate them by word or by pcn in a manner peculiarly and irresistably ludicrous. By his marriage with Eliza Henderson, he left five children ; Col. Ham. C. Jones, a lawyer and brave soldier in the late war, and new practising his pro fession in Charlotte; Captain Martin Jones; Martha, married to Mr. Tate, of Morganton ; Julia, and Alice, married to Mr. Broadnuax, of Rockingham county.

ANDREWS, Ge. Sart. \ ’ Shall We Meet Again, The following is one of the most brilliant paragraphs ever written vy the lamented George D. Prentice: “The fiat of death isinexorable. There is no appeal for relief from the great Jaw which dooms us to the dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the furest,and the flowers that bloom, wither and fade ina day have'no frailer hold upon life than the migi- tiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men will disappear as_ the grass, and the multitude that throng the world to-day will disappear as foot- steps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own path- way, hiding from their eyes the faces of joved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the antagonist of life,and the thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go through the dark valley, although tan board of works, the séhool boards | and the police board, were $31,940,- 000. If we added to this $1,000,000 for London’s share in the courts, we get a total expenditure of about $33,-, 000,000, of which only about $18,- 000,000 comes from direct taxation, the remainder being proceeds of _li- cesses, inarkets and of the various productive properties owned by the municipality. These figures do not need to be compared together to prove how much more costly the inefticient municipal machine of New York is than than that of London, in spite of the difference in population. No bet- ter pruof of the need of municipal re- form in New York could be ad- duced. oe A Question of Damages. a Some Jawyers* take very practical views of cases in which they are re- tained. In a certain town in Missou- ri Squire G— was defending a charge of malpractice. A colored man was suing for damages, his wife having the dark passage may lead to para- dise; we do not want to go down into| damp graves, even with princes ial bed-fellows. In the beautiful ee of “Ion” the hope of immortality, so_ eloquently uttered by the death-de-| voted Greeh, finds deep response in| thoughtful soul. When about to yield | his life a sacritice to fate, his Clem-| anthe asked if they should meet again, to which he respons; I have asked that dreadful question of the hills that look eternal—of the clear streams that flow ferever—of stars 1mong whose fields of azure my raised spir- its have walked in glory. All are dumb, But, as I gaze upon thy liv- ing face, I feel that there is some- thing in love that mantles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet again Clemanthe.” -—>_- Wild Times in Texas--Murders and Robberies, GALVESTON, Nav, 17.—A News special from Louisville says: ‘The! constraction train on the Dallas &) Whichita Railroad went through a temporary bridge over Hickory ereek last evening. Thirteen laborers were. wounded ; three have since died. Physicians from Dallas reached the scene by a special train and would not allow the woundetl to be moved during the prevailing snow and sleet. Half of the wounded will die.” A News special from Dallas says ; “The city was thrown into great ex- citement yesterday by the arrival of | forty armed farmers bringing the| body of adead man, stating that) Marion Jolson, a planter, was met! twelve miles from the city by two! masked men and knocked down and | robbed. The party went in pursuit and five other farmers were met who had been robbed and who joined in the pursuit. The outlaws were over- taken within three miles of Dallas when a general fight occurred. One| robber recognized as Odium Curley, | of NashviHe, Tenn., was killed, and another escaped with eighteen buck- shot in his body. Eleven farmers are known to have been robbed. Both of the men are believed to have been implicated in the robbery of Adams & Leonard’s bank recently.” —— New York and London. | In round numbers the population of London, the greatest city ot the world, ig three times that of New York. [tis the seat of the court and Parliament of u mighty empire, and, its public works are constructed on a! magnificent scale. Yet the total costs of the municipal government are less than those of New York. The net an- nual expenses of New York which need to be provided for through taxa- tion fluctuate between $30,000,000 and $33,000,000, the annual ballance sheet covering over $80,000,000 for receipts and about the same for ex- penditures. The debt of the city, ac- cording to the com ptrollep’s last state- ment, was $137,431,419; sinking fund, $34,906,467. Deducting sink- ing fund and adding yp outstanding reyenye bands, which are temporary loans made in anticipation of taxes and the net debt will be $122,745,127. This involves an annual interest charge of not less than $10,000,000. The publie works expenditures are about $4,000,000 a year, and the mis- cellaneous list for “general purposes” averages about $29,000,000. - In Mr, Goschen’s report on logy] taxation in in 1869 the agpenses of Tyondon, less repayment for debt and book-keeping entries, aggregated $35,961,579, but this included $13,159,05 for public works. Last year the total expendi- tyres of L-nudon, including the charges of the city proper, of the metropoli- ‘died shortly after an operation for the removal of cancer. When it came to *Squire G—’s turn to cross-examine the plaintiff, he asked: “Mr. Wilson, how old was youg wife when she died ?” “About 45, sir.” “Been in feeble health a long time, had she not, Mr. Wilson, and cost you a good deal for medicine and help?” “Yes, sir.” “You have married again, have you not?” ON Gs) sir.” “How olds your present wife?” “About 35, sir” “Is she steut and well, Mr. Wil- son ?” a Vies, ste. “Then, Mr. Wilson, will you please state to this jury how you are damay- ed in this case ?” Mr. Wilson had evidently never taken this view of the matter, and . could make no answer. The good and true men thought he had made rather a good thing by his bereave- ment, and brought ina ver lict forthe defendant.—Hlfarper’s Magazine. ——-- Origin of the Merino Sheep. As the ancient Greeks had no cot- ton nor silk and very little linen, and as sheep’s wool was the principal tex- ture from which their clothss were made, they took particular care to cul- tivate with special care such breeds of | sheep as produced very fine wool. Such breeds were those of the Greek city of Tarentum, situated on the Ta- rentine Gulf. In order to improve the fine quality of the wool still more, the sheep were covered with clothes in cold weather, as it was found by experience that exposure to cold made the wool coarser. Thus clothing these sheep from generation to generation resulted in a very delicate breed with exceedingly fine wool, according to the law established by Darwin in re- gard to selection and adaptation to ex- terior conditions, ° This product of Greek industry was transmitted by them to the Romans, whose great agricultural author, Col- unella, states that his uncle in Spain | crossed the fine Tarentine sheep with | rams imported from Africa, and ob- tained a stronger breed, combining the whiteness of fleece of the father with the fineness of fleece of the moth- er, and having obtained such results the race was perpetuated. The ab- sence of other fine textures made these Spanish sheep so valuable that in the! beginning of our era they were sold in Rome for $1,000 in gold a head, an enormous price fur those times, when money had much more value than now. When the Barbarians invaded Ita- ly these sheep were all exterminated, | while the greater portion of the Ro- man possessions were laid waste. But in the less accessible mountains of Spain the Moors preserved the breed, and it is to them that modern Spain owes the merino sheep, which are the direct descendents of this cross breed of the Greek and African ancestors referred to. It is a valuable inheri- tance, too, which that country owes to the combined Greek, - Roman, and Moorish civilization, and of which gur California wool-growers also earn the advantages. by the prosperity of this breed of sheep, which was there a few years ago, | ' rr ieee The Old Seldier’s Rule. If you would have friends, you must show yourselves friendly, J] know an old soldier of the -Revolu- tion, who told me the following story : ‘T once had a neighbor, who, though a clever man, came to me one bright hay PN. G.—The bridge over the the south day, and said, ‘’Squire White, I want you to come and take your geese away.’ ‘Why ?’ said I, ‘what are my geese doing?” ‘They pick my pigs’ ears while they are eating, and drive them away ; aud I will not have it.’ ‘What can [ do? said I. ‘You must yoke them,’ ‘That [ have not time to do, now,’ sail I ;’ I do not see but they must run.’ If you do not take eare-of them I shall!’ said the clever shoemaker, in anger; ‘what du you say, Squire White?’ ‘I’ cannot take care of them now, but I will pay you for all damages.’ ‘Well,’ said he, ‘you will find that a hard thing, I guess.’ So off he went, and I heard terrible squalling. among the geese. The next news from the geese was that three of them were missing. My children found them horribly mangled and dead, and thrown into the bushes, Now, said [, all keep still and let Ina few days the me punish him. shoemaker’s hogs broke into my corn, I saw them, but let them remain a long time. At last I drove them all out, and picked up the corn which they had torn down, and fed them with it in the road. Dy this time the the shoemaker came in great haste after them, " ‘Have you seen anything of my hogs?’ said he. Yes, sir, you will find them yonder, eating some corn which they tore down in my field, ‘In your field? love corn, you know—they were made to eat. ‘How much mischief have they done? O, not much, said I, Well, off he went to look, and es- timated the damage to me, to be equal to a bushel and a half of corn, ‘O, no, said I, it can’t be. ‘Yes,’ said the shoe maker,‘and I will pay you Yes, sir, said I; hogs every cent of damages.’ No, I repli- ed, you shall pay nothing. My geese have been a great deal of trouble to you. The shoemaker blushed, and went home. The next winter when we came to settle, the shoemaker deter- mined to pay me for my corn, No, said I, IT shall take nothing. After some talk we parted, but in a day or two [ met him in the read, and we fell into conversation in the most friendly manner, Bat when I started on, he seomed loth to move, For a moment both of At hi-t have something laboring on my mind.’ Well, what is it? killed three of your geese ; and T shall and I paused. us were silent. he said, ‘1 Those geese, never rest till you know how I feel.

The industries of the South have, since the close of our civil war, been extending in different directions, while some peculiar branches have attained a degree of ininortance never dreamed of in the days of slavery. One of these is the manufacture of the oil of cotton seed and the art of refining the game, by which it is made as sweet as alive oil, and not only used as such in the United States, but it is now large- ly exported to Italy to compete with the native olive oil, which is a staple article. It is there use for adulterat- qq | exported again as ‘genuine’ olive This has already become a serious matter, as ef the six million gallons last year, the greater portion went to Italy. The Italian government, there- fore, in order to,check this adultera- tion, has imposed a heavy duty upon the importation uf cotton seed oil from the United States. The exportation, which in 1877 and 1878 was about one and a half million gallons per year, reached in 1879 nearly six mil- lions, ahd this will be surpassed in 1880. Our home consumption of the article is over two million gallons per year. Mississippi and Louisiana have each 9 cotton oil mills ; Tennessee, 8 ; Tex- as, 6; Arkansas, 4; and Missouri, Al- abama, and Georgia, 2 each ; together, 42. At present 410,000 tons of the seed are now pressed, yielding 35 gal- lons of oil and 750 pounds of vil cake to the ton of seed. This oil cake’ has admirable fattening qualities, and is largely .used for cattle.—Scientiffe Amerjean. Oe Tur Cremest. ATTACHMENT.— A writer in Cotton, hailing from Windsor, N. C., takes up the cudgels to defend the Clement Attachment against an attack on it made by a writer in the same journal who signs himself “M.” The Windsor corres- pondent contends that the carding done by the attachment is well cxe- cuted. He says: ‘I have seen cotton coming throngh an attachment card at the rate of 160 pounds per day, and it was nicely earded, and made good, even and elastic yarns.” ~ He continues: “The mill at this place certainly sells all the yarns they make wnd get the highest prices for them in the New York and Philadelphia mar- kets.” TRY TUE NEW YORK OBSERVER THIS YEAR.

Chureh Choirs. — Church choirs are strange things,strange in possessing strange rights, of which few mortals can boast. Yet they are human, and are composed generally speaking of | males and females, without regard to age. On this subject, a book might be written, not one of your insipid, milk and water style, but a regular big thing, something like Webster’s Unabridged, with gilt edges and handsomely illustrated pages. We don’t propose to writea book, nor say anything about the man who started the first choir, nor how long choirs have been in existence nor anything of that sen- Choits are always organi- zed by an order from the officers of the same authority. Ineither case itisentirely next place in importance to the pulpit. What is left of the congregation outside the immediate families of the fortunate” consider themselves appointed or desig- nated musical critics, and devote their Sunday gossiping time to the choir, its members, their faults, and occasionally their music. Church officers and their committees are proverbial for their musi- cal knowledge, always making the most judicious and auspicious selections—em- bracing those males who are of known musical endowments, and those females who make known their ‘ear’ for tunes. This conglomeration of humanity is then taken into custody by what is known as the “leader,” or “director,” who quarters them, or deyides them into four parts. These parts are respectively : Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. ‘These four parts may have any where from one to any num- ber on each part. Jtis never entirely safe, for a multitude offreasons, to have over | one to each part. With one singer toa part you have what is called a quartette choir. They are always good, because each singer is essentially a seloist, and soloists are always happy; resalting nec- essarily from a specics ef self-dattery and a feeling of importance unattainable by average humanity. Gentle reader, con- sider that there are four soloists in a quar- tette choir. Now, with these lights be- fore us, we are hardly ready to look a choir straight in the face, however, one might venture a glance and sce how the CHOIR BEMAVES IN CHURCIL. Asa rate, and be it understood, I speak of things in general, and of nothing iv particuhi, choirs are Well. behaved, con- sidering the importance of their work, and their exalted position—too high for most preachers, or any other class of teachers to reach—they are remarkably well behaved. equal tothe ministers, with some trifling differances only. The minister mast be amoral gnide for the flock, abstaining from all semblance of worldliness, while the members of the choir may with im- punity attend the opera, drama, card tible, saloon, dance anddo all other things of doubtful propriety, and when the preacher warns the congregation of the evils of those worldly deeds, the choir has the strange and peculiar right to smile, to look at each other as much as to say, «che don’t wean the choir,” and when the last prayer comes, they gaze from the gallery into the congregation and “pity”? such and such an individual who “eanght it” from the sermon—‘‘he or she must feel badly ; for what the preacher said just suited him; you kuow he was secn to take a drink last week aud played cards with the ‘club’ boys Friday night” or ‘she went to the Spera, and was at the ball night be- fore last.” You see, good friend, they are so high up that the preacher can never reach them. If, in the course of his dis- course, he chances to lift histeye to the choir, he sces the Tenor and Altoina close conversation, the Soprano leisurely tarn- ing the pages of a note book, while the Bass, if vot asleep, is writing a note,or par- ing his finger pails, or, perhaps, sketching. This is perfectly right and legitimate for the choir, bat the individual who would behave that way in the congregation be- low should be reproved, bat its ‘no good” to reprove a choir ; for they never hear any tlting, and their position is too high in the charch to be reached. They look with commiseration on those singers in the congregation who have weak voices ; and for those who have strong voices they have feelings akin to disdain—the idea that any one should presume, should have thearrogance to sing full and lond when the choir of soloists are entertaining the congregation is to them, “a person of degraded taste; a voice rough and boorish and only tit for corn-shuck- ing frolics, and the like.” The introduc- tion of another member into a quartette choiris the sure precursor of abigrow that must come sooner or later. There are numerous other points ; the eccentricities of individuals; the peculiarities of the organist, &c., &¢. A number of note- worthy facts might also be submitted, but this paper is already too long, 80 I will close, and resnme the subject on some future oceasion, when I shall en- deavor to contrast differing opinions, and try and say something of the good in choirs; together with some suggestion in regard to the improvement of those masically inclined. - SERENADE. —_—_——- >> Louisiana has set aside $20,000 to sup- Their position is nearly ‘islatare, and a Democratic Board ef Com- , Democrat. that the following points should be press- ‘ed upon the attention of the American : « POLITICAL.

Columbia, Nov. 23.—The special agents of the census department to re-enumerate’ the State census have arrived and have established their headquarters here. Col. F. G. Butterfield has charge of the re-enu- meration and is accompanied by J. B. Burt, O. P. D. Stone, J. B. Issler, Timo- thy tluiuo, clerks ef the census office in Washington, and sworn as special agents for this work. It will be done over again from the beginning. The agent hopes to get through the enumeration in three weeks. Col. Butterticld has telegraphed to all the supervisors for the State, re- questing a meeting of consultation be- fore beginning the work. The whole State will not be canvassed, but agents will visit certain townships in various parts of the State and in this way esti- mate the correctness of the returns from the whole. In Abbeville, Due West town- ship will be re-enumerated; Laurens, Wa- terloo township ; Fairfield, townships No. 8; Baruwell, Williston township; Lex- ington, Broad River township; Chester- field, Steer Pen; Marion, Cains; Wil- liamsburg, Johnson township. These are selected because their increase is large.

Says the Charlotte D sidering that the population of the United States is about equally divid- ed between the Democratic and Re- publican parties (a very large major- ity of the white people and taxpayers being Democrats) it is curious to hear some people talk about the Democrat- .ic party being dead. In the State of Pennsylvania alongs 497,428 white men voted for Gen. Hasicock, and in the great State of New {York, Han- cock gets nearly one-half of the pop- ular vote (Garfield’s majority over Hancock, Weaver and: Dow is only 7,139) ; and so in other Northern and Western States, Hancock” gets nearly one-half of the popular vote. In fact, Hancock has a majority of all the individual voters, and would be President if the count was made in that way, but the unfair plan of “Electors” prevails, and hence a mi- nority man becomes President. In- deed, the Democratic party lacks a good deal of being dead. Gol. John W. Forney, an old Lin- coln and Grant man, but a supporter of Hancock in the late election, thus speaks in the Philadelphia Progress uf the vote of the whole country : “About five millions of the Ameri- can voters, comprising a majority of one million of the white voters of the United States, supported Gen. Han- cock in the late election, and their free and independent suffrages only failed an overwhelm- ing victory because half a million of officials and their relatives, and of to achieve workmen employed by bulldozing manufacturers, were driven into the supportof Garfield by acts akin to those by which the quarryslave is scourged to his dungeon. ‘he will ef the peo- ple was temporarily overruled by the abuse of the powers they have given to the desperate leaders of the Repub- lican party. But while we watch, and wait for the time when this great wrong will be right- ed, the South should remember that several millions of Northern Demo- crats are subjected to the doniination of » horde of venal and tyrannical ad- work, venturers, scarcely less despicable than the carpet-baggers who temporarily overran the South, mainly because the Northern Democracy were unwilling to countenance every form of outrage upon the South that the ingenuity of plunderers could devise.” ————__-<—o Qualified Suffrage.

It suggests that the next Legislature submit to the peo- ple, to be voted upon at the next election, a proposed constitutional amendment, providing that no per- gon in the State shall henceforth be entitled to the right of suffrage ex- cept he has first paid his poll tax. This would be just and right. It would either exclude from the priv- ilege of suffrage a class of worthless vagabonds, white and black, who now pay nothing toward the support of government, and yet kill the votes of their betters, or it would force them to contribute something toward the maintenance of the insti- tutions which afford them protection in their rights and education for their children. Taxation without representa- tion is commonly accounted the great- est injustice, but is it worse than re- presentation without taxation? We repeat our faith in the justice of this proposition. It will require a three- fifths vote of the Legislature to sub- mit the question to the people. If it can be passed there it can probab- ly be carried before the people, but it is more than likely that the Com- mune, which is to say the Radical party, would stand against it in solid columns.—Statesville Landmark. a There is mach just indignation felt in Baltimore over the abstraction of the bodies of two persons, Mrs. Annie Carter and ber daughter, a young lady of 19, from their graves in Baltimore cemetery.

Wasuinaton, Nov. 22.— The South Carolina census is to be overhaul- ed once more. The stalwarts have never gotten over their disgust at the increase of the South’s population shown by the census, and cannot bear to give upthe cry of fraud, which they raised as soon as the figures. were made pnblic. The thorough investi- gation which was made a few weeks afterwards did not stop the howl, and théy.still protested against the idea accepting this increased population as’ a basis-for the reappointment of Congressmen. In- order to remove the last excuse for questioning the’ accuracy of the census,and not at all because he personally sees the slight- est necessity for such a performance, superintendent Walker, at the sug- gestion of the President, has dispatch- ed a force of special agents to South Carolina with instructions to make They are to visit a number of places where the gain of population over the census of 1870 was largest and make a sort of re-census, going from house to house and seeing whether the people whom the enumerators reported are to be found. No doubt it is entertained that this second investigation will only confirm the first, and after such inquiries as are now to be made it will require a man with monumental impudence to further dispute the South Carolina census.— Charleston Jews and Courier. thorough investigation. — Wuat Joun Browy’s BrorHeR Says.—A correspondent of the Chi- cago Tribune recently had a conversa- tion with Edward Brown, the only surviving brother of old John Brown, Mr. Brown eaid: “It may sound ve- ry harsh and cruel, but I say it with due deliberation and knowing just what it means, when I affirm that I am glad that John Brown was killed just when he was and just as he was. Of course it wasa great blow tous all. It nearly crushed us at the time, but we could not then see the end from the beginning, as he did, and as we do to-day.

The quenching of this without injuring the patient is a matter which requires knowledge and good jndgment. Dr. H. H. Kane says that plain water, when taken beyond a certain amount, is very apt to disorder the stomach and bowles, especi- ally in fevers, where much fluid and but little solid food is takeu. Enongh water to quench the thirst would certainly be enough, in most cases, to diserder diges- tion, or rather further disorder it, and 80 important is the little that remains of this function that we cannot afford to abuse it. Small pieces of ice held in the mouth and allowed to dissolve, sometimes an- swers the purpose, but not in the majori- ty of cases. Up to a certain point, the action of wa- ter taken internally, in fevers, is excel- lent. Aside from allaying irritation by quenching thirst, it flashes the kidneys, carrying off much of the effete material produced by the high temperature. It has been found that the addition of certain substauces to water greatly in- creases its powers to quench thirst. This is especially the case with acids. One drachm of hydrochlorie acid added to a quart of water, will give it sufficient acidity to accomplish the desired purpose, while at the same time, it adds to its pleasantness, and sometimes relieves nausea. The use of acids in fevers is highly commended by some authors, and this is, I think, the best way in which to admin- ister them. The same amount of sulphar- ous acid may be added to a qnart of wa- ter when the bowels are loose, or there is a tendency that way. ° In these cases acidulated barley water is pleasant and neurishing. The same may be said of toast water. In constipation, oatmeal water may be used in the same manner. A few tama- rinds added to a glass of water will often assauge thirst and open the bowels gent- ty. Theory and experience both show that drinks made slightly bitter and somewhat acid, slake thirst most effectually. A weak infusion of cascarilla or orange peel, acidulated slightly with hydrochlo- ric acid, was with Graves, of Dublin, a favorite thirst-allaying drink for fever patients. Raspberry vinegar is a useful drink. Sucking ice is very, grateful. Sweet fruits although at first agreeable and refreshing, must be taken with care and moderation, for they often give rise to disagreeable taste, and are apt to pro- duce flatulence and diarrhea. Talmage on Ingersoll. He Defends the Bible Against the Attacks of Infidel Enemies. New York, Nov. 22.—Talmage preach- ed yesterday on “Ingersollism versus Christianity. He said he bad no nervous anxiety about the overthrow of Christian- ity. He spoke of the Bible as the beok of which 250,000,000 copies have been printed—the book that adorus the centre table, that is found at the bench of jas- tice, and is placed in the trunk of the young man just leaving his country home for the city. There were four chief ob- jections to be made to the Bible by infi- dels: It is an impure book, a cruel book, a contradictory book, an unscientific book. As to the charge that the Bible is a crnel book, full of laceration, man- slanghter and massacre, Dr. Talmage asked : “How wany of your acqua‘ntances have learned cruel habits from reading the Bible? Do your children learn frown the Bible to tear off the wings of more flies or to pin more grasshoppers, or to rob more birds’ nests? Oh, sirs, when you can make a rose leaf stab like a bay- onet, when you can manufacture iceicles out of the south wind, when you cau poison the tongue from a blossom of back- wheat, then you can find cruelty gotten schel, Kepler Liebuits, Russ and Tasae Newton.

Failing to find amrong the members ef the Prussian Legislature that knowledg: mark has taken a remarkable step. He has proposed te the King, and the latter _ has issued a decree establishing “a cogn- cil of the people,” seventy-five in number, to whom shall be referred all propositig:.s relating to commerce, manufactures and agriculture. One-half of this couneil,of experts is to be appointed by the King, on the nomination of chambers ef .com- merce and agriculture throughout the kingdom. The remaining half, of whom at least fifteen are to be workingmen, are to be appointed on the recomniendation of the ministers. All government relating to the subjects are to be vabeait- ted to the judgment of this special coun- cil before they are introduced inte the Legislature, and the council is also tole empowered to originate plans of impro ment in any of those branches of bus with which they are familiar. Such an inncvation marks, on the part of the Pras- sian government, an appreciation of the necessity of bringing itself nearer te the people, and by leaguing itself with the best minds in their particular industrial spheres to give its measures the sanction of a popular council which will thus di- vide the responsibility for them with the gevernment. As a meaus of breaking down the influence of the socialists it is shrewd and wise, but the salutary effect of such a council, if the selection of its members is judiciously made, promises to be much more beneficial than this. As a representative body, trained te under- stand the commercial, financial and i - dustrial needs of Prussia, and conversant with the points in dispute between em- ployers and their workingmen, it may act not only as a council. of reform, but. alee as a council of conciliation. 1t was prab- ably in both of these senges, but more es- pecially in the latter, that Priuce Bismark urged its organization. It is a bold step to take, and if it should answer the ends for which it is to be created, a simijar council will probably be suggested to re- view similar measures on behalf of. the empire. The experiment is a novel and an interesting one, and the result will be watched not only in Germany, bat by other nations.— Balt.

Eugineer Crosby, of the middle train, was caught with his head on the lever which was reversed. He was jammed against the hot boiler by the freight car and leap. ing over the tender was disembowelled and roasted. The other engineers and firemen leaped and were saved.

Her little sayings and songs were not more charming than her symme- trical form, her glowing ce untenance, her sparkling eyes, her graceful movements aud polite manners. All these. atributes of loveliness must have endeared her to her devoted parents beyoud description. She loved her parents much and obeyed them well. I join mauy students and citizens in heart-felt sympathy for the bereaved parents. The President of the College is with us again, and we are anxious tu see his ne- ble wife return to Yadkin, but how sad to think she canuet bring little Ha with her.

ROWAN COUNTY. BY J: Rk: OLD FAMILIES OF ROWAN, CONTINUED. Another family ef Old Rowan was THE PEARSON FAMILY, Richmond Pearson, the founder of this family, was a native of Dinwiddie county, Virginia, and came to North Carolina at nineteen years of age, and settled in the Ferks of the Yadkin, then Rowan, new Davie county. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary war, Richmond Pearson, was a Lieutenant in Capt. Bryan’s company and settled the political atlinity of his company by whipping his captain ima fist feht, as related ina previous page. Capt. Pearson was present when Cornwallis crossed Cow- an’s Ford on the Catawba, in L78t; and wit- nessed the fall of the brave Gen. William Davidson. He was 4 merchant and a plan- ter, and at an early day succeeded in navi- gating the Yadkin River. He is said to have established a combined. land and wa- ter route, as follows: From his mills onthe South Fork, by boat down the Yadkin to the Narrows; thence by land below the Grassy Islands; then again by the river to Sneedsboro, which was thea # rival of Che- raw. Perhaps when the Yartkin is opencd as furas Bean's Shoals, or Wilkesboro, for light draught steamers, according to the plan now undertaken, it will be found that communication may be praeticable to the sex by Water, and thus reduce the freights now exacted for heavy articles on the Rail Roads. Riehmand Pearson was twice nrarried, His first wife was a Miss Hayden, ‘and she bore him three sons and a dstaghtef, name- ly: Gen, Jease A. Pearson) :Hon, Joseph Pearson, Richmond Pearson and Elizabeth. | : i Inext week, the young lawyer, still quite By his second marriage Richmond Pear- son had six children: Sarah, Itiza, Charles, ‘Richmond Mumford, Giles. N. and John Stokes Pearson. Most of these children oc- cupied prominent and responsible positions intheir day. Jesse A. Pearson, represented Rowan county in the Legislature tive times. In 1814, he was Colonel of a Reyiment that marched against the Creek Indians under Gen. Joseph Graham, He was first married to a daughter of Gen. John Steele, and af- terwards¥o a Mrs. Wilsan, whose daughter by a former husband was tlre first wife of Archibald Carter, Esq., of Div-e. Hon. Joseph Pearson, was 4 lawyer, rep- resented the borough of Salisbury in the House of Commons, and was a member of Congress frem 1809 to 1815. Richmond Pearson, though never in pub- lic life, was an active enterprising man. He is celebrated for having passed over the falls of the Yadkin in a boat, with two com- panions. No one else is known to have at- teinpted this hazardous enterprise. But the most distinguished of the family was Richmond M. Pearson. Te was. born in’ 1805, prepared for college by John Mu- shat, at Statesville, and graduated at the University of Nerth Carolina in 1823. He studied law under Judge Hendersan, and was licensed to pratice in 1826. From 1829 to 1832 he represented Rowan county in the House of Commons, In 1836, le was elected Judye of the Superior Court, and in 1848 he was transferred to the Supreme Court ef North Carolina. In 1886 he became Chief Justice, with William H. Battle and E. G. Reade as Associate Justices. In 1870, un- der the Shoffner Bill, Gov. Holden ordered George W. Kirk, with a considerable body of troops, to march into Alamance, Orange and Caswell counties. Many arrests were made, among others, those of Josiah Turner ail John Kerr, afterwards Judge Kerr. When applied to for a wfit of Habeas Cor- pus for seme of these tarprisoned. eitizens, Judge Pearson prey peauies if but de- clined to attach Kirk fo¥ disobeying it, de- Claring that the eee Was extrausted.” Though the decision bate sgvtrely upon the prisoners, it is difficulé tO sée chow a Judge could enfurce the writ, with the Governor in command of the troops of-the State, and hostile to the rights of the citizen. - In Jan- uary, 1878, Chief Justice Pearson dicd on his way to Raleigh to hold the January term of the Supreme Court. Moore in his History says of him, that “lis strong native ability, profound learning and long judicial carcer have made him immortal in legal cir- cles.” It is probable that he was the yro- foundest jurist ever born in Rowan county. For a number of years, Judge Pearson re- sided at Richmond Hill near Rockford, in Surry county. There be conducted a law- school, and students from all parts of the State flocked to his school for instruction, Giles N. Pearson, a younzer brother of Chief Justice Pearson, was also a lawyer by profession, and resided in Mocksville He married a daughter of Anderson Ellis, Sr., of Davidson county, a sister of Gov. Ellis. He died in 1847, ieaving a wife and five children, several of them still surviving. GOV. JOHN W. ELLIS, — was a native of Davidson county, then Row- an, and was born 23rd November, 1820. The family of the Ellises, for several generations, lived in the tamed Jersey settlement, on the eastern banks ef the Yadkin, and several of them accumulated fortunes. Anderson EI- lis, Sr., gave to his children the advantages of a good education, and most of them be- came prominent and useful citizens, John Willis was early sent to a classical school, taught by Robert Allison, Esq., at Beattie’s Ferd: After spending a season at Randolph: rin active howe duties for the bent- of her family.

Heo a law office in Salisbury, and_by his dili- genee and talents soon won a piace in. pub- tc confidente. He bore the reputation of a hard-student, and the passer by would see the light of Ellis’s lamp till long after mid. night, Two years shee. his licensure he was represent Wan count House -of Commons, and he eoaeneee that place until 1848, when he was elected Judge of the Superior Courts, when onl twenty-eight years of age. He held this important post with credit to himself and hotior to the State until 1858, when he was elected Governor of North Carolina over John Pool of Pasquotank. The issue be- tween Ellis and Pool was what was called thé ad valorum system of faxation, a system defended with great ingenuity by Pool, and the whigs, but which failed to carry the party into power. When, in 1861, Presi- dent Lincoln called upon Gov. Ellis for troops to serve against South Carolina, the Governor called for twenty thousand men— not to help to reduce South Carolina, but for whatever side the Convention of North Carolina should take. The Conventiun met and passed an ordinance of secession, May 20th, 1861. Gov. Ellis denoted all his ener- gies to meet the demands of the hour. But his health failed him and he resorted to Red Sulphur Springs in Virginia to restore his strength. But the flame of life flicker- ed only a moment lenger, and he died on the 7th of July, 1861, only a few weeks af- ter the battle of Big Bethel, when General (then Colonel) D. H. Hill, met and defeated Gen. B. F. Butler. Thus it was that. his brave spirit departed from earth, just as the storm of ‘war began to burst over the dewo- ted South. . His remains sleep in quiet in Oak Grove Cemetery, in Salisbury, where a ee of polished marble marks his resting place, Governor Ellis first married Mary, only duughter of Hor, Philo White! a scion of the Brandon stock, and her remains lie by the side of his under another marble shaft. He was married a second time to Miss Daves, a lady of Newbern, N.C., and left two daughters, THE CALDWELL FAMILY, In the eastern part of Iredell county, then Rowan, there lived a bundred years ago a substantial citizen by the name of Andrew Caldwett. He was of that sturdy, Scotch Irish stock that peopled so much of this region of country. He married Ruth the second daughter of the Hon. Wm. Sharpe. He was a lending man in his county and of- ten represented his fellow citizens in the Legislature. He had a number of children, among them three sons widely known, viz: Hon. David F. Caldwell, Hon. Joseph P. Caldwell, of Iredell, and Dr. Elam Caldwell, of Lincolnton. But we are more particularly interested in Hon, D, F, Caldwell, so long a citizen of Rowan county. DAVID FRANKLIN CALLWELL 1” was born in i792, and pursued his literary course at Chapel Hill. Hestudied law with the Hon. Archibald Henderson, of Salisbury, and entered public life as a member of the House of Commons from Iredell, in 1816, where he served several years. After atime he removed to Salisbury, and in 1829, ’36 and ‘31, represented Rowan in the Senate of North Carolina. He was speaker of the Senate in 1829. After this he pursued his profession as a lawyer with eminent success tor a number of years. In 1844 he was pro- moted to the position of Judge of the Su- perior Courts of North Carolina. Judge Caldwell was astern, but impartial judge, and presided with great dignity, keeping the witnesses, jurors and lawyers in good order. Many anecdotes are told of his eccentricities, all leaning to the side of siny- plicity, kindness, order and decency. A law- yer, then quite young, was sick during the Comt in Washington, and was visited very kindly by Judge Caldwell. At a Court the tecble, managed to attend, and when a case was called in which he was interested, rose to speak. “Sit dawn, sir,” said the Judge, in his sternest tones. The lawyer sat down, as if thaunderstruck. In a moment, however, he rose again te speak, and was told to sit down, in still more terrible tones. Again he sat down, not knowing what it all meant. Then the Judge said, ‘vou are not able to stand up, and Twill hear you from your seat.” The lawyer was amazed at the un- expected turn of affairs, and knowing that he would not be allowed to stand, addressed the Judge from his seat. Upon a certain occasion, it is related, a young lawyer took his seat inside the bar dressed in peculiarly dandyish style. The Judge surveyed him from head to foot, and muttered to himself, “Hair parted inthe middle’—“Mustache” —Rutiled shirt”—*Striped vest” —“Straps” —‘Pumps.” Then in thundering tones, “Get out of the bar!” Some older lawyer arose and informed the Judge that the young man was a lawyer and had aright to ascat in the bar. “I beg pardon,” said the Judge, “but I did not think that any lawyer had so little sense as to dress in that way.” Upon another occasion, the Judge asked a lawyer for a chew of tobacco. The lawyer handed him his picce of plug, bitten all around. The Judge turned it round and round in his hand, and remarked aloud, “Why den’t you cut off your tobacco, like a gentleman, and not gnaw it off in that in- decent way?” Judge Caldwell hada high respect for honest labor. One day while passing the premises of a minister, he saw him with his coat off, spading up his garden, Lifting his hat in the old time fashion of courtesy, he said: “Saint Paul used to labor with his own hands, and I am vlad to see one minis- ter who is not ashamed to follow his exam- rte.” Ilis second wife lies buried under the Lec- ture Room of the Presbyterian Church in Salisbury. For many years Judge Caldwell was in the habit of lifting his hat reverent- ly, every time he passed the corner. In 1858, being then 68 years of age, he felt it his duty to resign his seat on the judicial bench, unwilling to continue untilhe would become unfit fer his duties. He died in 1867, at the age of 77,and his remains, unmarked by amonument, are lying beside the resting place of his first wifc, near the monument of the Hon, Archibald Henderson. Judge Caldwell was twice married. He first married Fanny, the daughter of Wm. Lee Alexander, Esq., and neice of Hon. Arch- ibald) Henderson. Their children were, William Lee, Archibald Henderson, Eliza- beth Ruth—who married Col. Charles Fish- er—Richard Alexander Caldwell, Esq., Dr. Julius Andrew Caldwell, and Fanny McCoy, married to Peter Hairston, Esq. After the death of his tirst wife, he niarried Mrs. Re- beeca M, Trey, nee Nesbit, the widow of the late Matthew Troy, Esq., and the half sister of the late Maxwell Chambers, Esq. Her remains are interred beneath the Presbyte- rian Lecture Room, near to Mr. Chambers’ grave. She wasancarnest christian woman, ef a meek and quiet spirit. During her widowhood, she and her half brother, Max- well Chambers, lived east of town, where Capt. John Beard now lives. Afterwards, they purchased and lived in the residence where Mrs. Dr. Joseph W. Hall now lives. At the same time, Mrs. Troy, the mether-of Matthew Troy, and her daughter, Catherine Troy, lived in the house where R. J. Holmes now resides, on Innes 8trect. THE CHAMBERS AND TROY FAMILIES. We have: already drifted -inte some ac- count of one or two nicmbers of these fami- sa hnctntniacas x é am: 5 eel pened | He lived on thé “piace y{ Spring Hill, aheut two mites east of Satis- the} bers, the elder, resi ‘Wiley’s residence now stands, Lord: Corn- ‘Wallis made his Keadquarters in this house, 1781. Maxwell Chambers was the Treasurer of the Committee of Safety for Rowan, in 1735-6, and was a true patriot, though he once fell under the censureot the Committec for mieing the price of powder, and it was ordered that he be adveftised as an enemy of his country. “After the: ‘war he lived at bury, where he raised a1 family. He was married to the daughter ef George Magoune, who had married Hester Lon the widow of John- Long,’.and mother of Alex. Long, Esq. Maxwelf Cliambers had nitfe sons, named William, Maxwell—who was graduated at Chapel Hill in 1809—Hen- ry, Joseph, Samuel, Edward, Thomas, Otho and Johu—Henry became a lawyer, anc Maxwell a physichan, the others were farm- ers. They all died early in life, somg of them unmarried, and it is net known that any of their descendants are now living in this country. The late Wii. ‘Chambers was a son of Edward Chambers, but left no children. John Chambers married Panthea Troy, sister ef Matthew Troy, Esq., and of the late Mrs. Maxwell Chambers. a MAXWELL CHAMBERS, the younger, was a distant relative of the family already mentijoned,.and was the son of Joseph andi Mary Chambers, of Salisbury. Beneath the Lectare of the Presby- terian Church in Salisbtiry, there are ten graves, nine of them ceveréd-with warble slabs, and one marked by. § headstone. As there is historical matter ipggribed on those slabs, and the general ni blic, ney cr see these mscriptions, I will give the cpitaphs in sub- stance. Commencing next to'the wall we find the first monument and the oldest, with this inscription: 1. William Nesbit, died Nov. 22, 1799, aged 64 years. 2. Adelade Fulton, daughter of John and Mary Fulton, diced at two weeks of age. 3. Mary Fulton, died Jan. 5, 1806, aged, 45 years. (a) She was first married to Juseph Cham- bers, by whom she had one son, Maxwell Chambers. (b) She was next married to Wm. Nesbit, and had two children, David M. and Rebee- ca M. Nesbit. (c) She was again married to John Ful- ton and had one child, Adelade Fulton. 4. David M. Nesbit,.son of Wm, and Mary Nesbit, died Oct. 19, 1811, aged 25 vears. 5. Henry M. Troy, son.of Matthew and Rebecca M. Troy, died July 8th, 1824, aged 11 years, 11 months and 15 days. 6. Laura Troy, danghter of Matthew and Rebecca M. Troy, died Nov. 16th, 1828, aged 18 years, 1 month, 1 day. 7. Rebecen M. Caldwell, second wife of Hon. D. F. Caldwell, died Nov. 28th, 1855, in the 65th year of her age. 8. Panthea Jane Daviess, daughter of Robert and Anne Daviess, of Merecr county, Ky., died May 20th, 1835, aged 16 ycars, 9. Catherine B. Chambers, consort of Max- well Chambers, and daughter of Matthew and Jane Troy, died Noy. 27, 1852, aged 67 years, 7 months and 3 days, 10. Maxwell Chambers, died Feb. 7th, 1855, aged 75 years, 1 month and 14 days. From the above figures we gather that Maxwell Chambers was the son of Joseph and Mary Chambers, and was born on 23rd of January, 1780. Tradition states that he was born in the house now the residence of Thomas J. Meroney, on Main street. His early education was probably securcd in Salisbury, and he entered inte business here with hig uncle, a Mr. Campbell, fropy which we infer that his mother’s maiden name was Campbell. After conducting business here tor awhile, Mr. Campbell and Mr Chambers went to Charleston and get up in mercantile business there. Here Mr. Chambers laid the foundation of bis fortune, and after awhile he retnrned to Salisbury and lived with his widowed half sister, Mrs. Rebeecu M. Troy. After a time he married Miss Catherine B. Trey, the daughter of Matthew Troy, the elder, and sister of Matthew Troy the young- er. It is said that an attaohment had long existed between this couple, but Mr. Cham- bers had thought himself too poor to marry in his younger days. But’ when he had amassed a considerable fortune of perhaps one or two hundred thousand dollars, and she being the owner of about $30,000, they considered themselves in proper circum- stances to marry, thengh both were some- what advanced in life. They scttled at the Nesbit place, on Innes street, now the home ef R. J. Holmes, and here they ended their days. Mr. Chambers never entered into reg- ular business, again, but became a general trader, and attended to the. management of his large estate. He was eminently success- ful in accumulating property, and at his death had amassed a fortune of nearly a half million of dollars. He made arrangements for the removal and liberation of all his slaves at lis death, ‘and these plans we ¢ faithfully carried out by his’ executors, and between thirty and forty slaves were sent to the northwest, and started in life in the'r new home. Besides legacies to many ef his kindred and friends, and to the church of his choice, he left. a residuary legacy to Davidson College,which would have amount- ed to $250,000, if the College had obtained all he intended fer it. But owing to the limitations of its Charter, the College could not receive the whole amount, and a consid- erable sum went to his heirs that were next of kin. The inscription on the marble slab that covers his remains, is probably as fair a de- lineation of character as?-wus ever put upon a monument, and-it 4e:liere given! “In his business he. ;pasaussed. the clearest foresight and the profeundest judgment. In all his transactions: fie Wasa. ¢xact and just. ft meet In social life, dignified, but confiding, tender and kind, © In his plans, wise, prudent and successful. In his bestowments his haad was not only liberal, but often munificent. In the close of his life he set his house in order, willed his soul to-God, and the great- er part of his estate to the cause of educa- tion, through the church of his choice.” Mr. Chambers was not premiscuously lib- eral, but only te the objects he considered worthy, and in his own way. Upona cer tain occasion a poor man had his house burnt down, and the next day some friend took around a subscription paper for his’ bencfit. The paper was somewhat ostentatiously pre- sented to Mr. Chambers, bit he utterly rej fused to subscribe. He was of Course severe- ly criticized for his illibevality; but while the critics were handing his penuriousness around, Mr. Chambers quietly ordered ene of his servants to get ready a cart, and he and his good wife filled it with fleur, meal, lard, bacon, bed clothing and other things to the value of nearly $50, perhaps equal in value to the gifts of all the others combined, and the poor man found himself richer than. he had been before the fire. Mr. Chambers, never mixed busincss and charity together. He would give and take the last cent due in a trade, en he chose tand who give, he gave liberally. His good wite, familiarly known as ‘Aunt Kitts,” -was the soul of kindness. She was an earnest and deveut christian, and full of faith andygood woiks, To her pastor, living on a 'y rather small,and with a large family, and -many ‘visitors, she * where Mr. 8.

Here isa frontier scout as the pivot on which the scenery swings. On his way from fort to fort with dispatches his trail has been struck by a war par- ty of Pawnees, and they have hung to it since dark last night, following jt across the levels and over the swells ata slow but never ending gallop. knew that he was a full hundred guides from help, and they knew that his bloody scalp would add another go their trophies, “You’re a rubbed out man 1” said the scout as he looked back at dusk and saw them coming at a slow gal- Jop over his trail. They could not have overtaken him ina dash of two miles, but in a gallop of fifty they would tire him out, At an easy gallop of five niles an Shour the mustang forged ahead thro’ the long and weary night, changing his pace anly when the rider got down and ran beside him. Two miles behind him, riding thir- ty abreast and covering a front of half a mile, followed the implacable foe, gaining a little, losing a little, but ever confident. When the sun came up from his prairie bed not a savage was missing. The scout turned in his saddle and counted them, looked ahead for land- marks and coolly said ; “You took the chances and you have lost, but you will die game.” The mustang was almost blown. For the last half hour he had labored heavily, and had almost been held up by the bits, “The grave wauld have been a bet- ter place, but the end would have been the same,” said the scout as he drew up and dismounted, The Indians were two miles away, Jn ten minutes they would be within rifle-shot. ; “Good-bye, old pard, I must do it,” gaid the scout, as he took hold of the mustang’s head and drew his knife across the faithful equine’s throat. He wanted a breast-work, and here he had it. Two minutes were time enough to cut the bridle and saddle to pieces, and then he mounted the body of his dead friend and calmly waited the approach of the Indians. No shout of triumph was sent across the prairie as he was brought to bay. That had been a strange chase.

Church and Mr. James H. Moser. The purpose of the author, Mr. Jo- el C. Harris, of the Atlanta Constitu- tion, in gathering the series in book form, together with the plantation songs, is to preserve a phase of negro life and character which would other- wise soan be furgetten—a phase of equal interest to ethnologists and to those who are in search merely of quaint forms of hamor. How much real fun there is in the book can be guessed by those who read the yarns of Uncle Remus as they appeared in the daily press. Apart from this, they have a special value and interest to any who has a tender feeling for the old times so fast passing away.

The Vice-Chancellor threw out the ease without calling on the defense for a reply, saying it was a great pity the plaintiff should have spent his money and time in prosecu- ting claims which were entirely with- out foundation. A similar fate befell an action concerning Wm. Jennen’s personal estate, the Vice-Chancellor stigmatizing the proceedings as “vex- atious” after the décision delivered in the same case in 1867. This, however, will not of course prevent several hundred parties by the name of Jen- nings from organizing more “associa- tions” next summer to send abroad enterprising young lawyers desiring to see England.—N.

In continaation of what I had to Bay last week in regard to the components of charch choir organization and their posi- tion and hehavior in chureh; I will as was promised, say something of the ec- centricities, peculiarities, &c. of choral singers. Now let us quietly steal into a church aud hear a rehearsal. It is a rainy, bad night. The sexton has lighted the chureh, tion ; but even in that case, there is little hope. , The thoughtless may presume from what has been said, that I am one of your church, or any where else, becanse, per- chanee, it may cost a trifle to have eulti- vated church music. If the bare shadow of such an idea has flown athwart your imaginative brain, dispel it at once; for but failed to make a fire. The Bass, who | lam a true lover of the “‘affectiopate art” ; language is in the dawning state, where hie is in love with the Soprano, arrives first with that important individual on his arm. ' They throw off their wrapsand proceed to the steve. Discovering it cold, they | seat themselves pear it and begin a chari- table conversation. These two parts are ulways most charitable—iu fact they carry the charity of the choir, and display it on such occasions as the present to all con- ceivable advantage. In the midst of this delightfal conversation, (confined wholly to the weather and the sexton) the ‘Tenor arrives, and to the surprise of the other two, the Alto is not with him. Upon en- | quiry itis discovered that “the ‘Tenor has a headache. and doves uot feel inclined to ladiescompany this evening.” Private- ly he whisperato the Bass: “the Alto | spoke with a sneer on ber face t» the Soprano while [ was singing my solo last , Sanday, and ’'m sure she was laughing t ;atme, and you know what a cold I was suffering with at the time.” The Alto and the Organist must come, or there ean be no practice. The Bass compromises ; he will bring the Alto if the Tenor will escort the Organist, and with this arrang- | ment, in the course of half an hour, the | quartette and organist are ready. The Organist who is always a meek and good natured individual, and who always at- tends to business, selects such music as will suit the sentiment of the hymns marked. All is ready, for the, practice. The organist begins—‘‘the Bass hopes that that old wornont tune is not to be sung again.” The Tenor speaks up, ‘tind something else.” After so longa time something else is found, and while it | is a good, well composed piece of music, ' it doesnot suit the sentiment of the hymn, | in fact is so inappropriate as to destroy | the effect desigued by the pastor; yet they have all hada hand in its selection, and it must go through. ‘Then they tara to the next, when the Sepraho exclaims: , “Pll net sing that, its awtal low, and old Mrs. Singlouder, who always sits close up | to the pulpit, and sings with her cracked | voice knows that tune, and she'll drown out everything.” And so it all through the selections, until the organist, who has hitherto been acting as would | HOW goes became Job’s daughter, saddenly loses | equilibrium, and that calm and) tranquil patience so noticeable a moment since, has vanished. Tunes are now ployed | with a recklessness as regards “time and expression” that wonld shock the musical tuste of a barbershop gnitar player, or fbring to the cheek of the conyentional hand-organ tramp the crimson blash of mortification. There was nothing said at which offence could be taken, and the choir meeting adjourns. Each one, how- ever, feels that it would have been as well had they remained at home. They meet Sunday morning and in eon- sequence of the no-mannagement the night before, the music is not good. This may not be because the choir cannot render it, bat beeanse they will not fit themselves for its rendition by patient study and concerted action as to the proper expres- sion. Such choir meetings as the one just de- scribed—and_ they frequently — crush out the musie of the sanctuary. The situation is deplorable—a cheir, and yet not a choir—even Deacon Jones, or good brother Brown, who used to ‘raise the tunes” are debarred that-pleasure, (?) and instead of either choral or congrega- tional singing to the praise of God, there is a vain-glorious display of poor sing- ing. But this is wholly in keeping with the usual style of choirs. ‘To reeapit- alate: they pay no attention to sermons, they whisper, write notes and giggle du- ring prayers, and are above reproof. Is it any wonder then, that they furnish with evident satisfaction, meagre music for the praise of the most High! Haman- ity has been endowed with vocal organs, and we are commanded: ‘Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant ; and praise is comely.” Is it right? Is it comely, to offer meagre praise to our Creator? He has bestowed on us so abundantly the gifts which enable us ts praise Him ac- ;ceptably, that it must be displeasing, if not sinful, to offer poor vocal praise. How cau this evil be remedied ?) That ian a question that must have a chapter to itself. In my next, I shall endeavor tu throw some light in that direction. I promised to say something of the good ‘in choirs, but as yet have not reached a | poiut where a good thing might be said of a poor choir. If there were any reason- able excuse for a poor one—and in this country there cau hardly be; for every town of any size or pretentions has its ' professional Music Teachers—I should be glad to note it. There are but one of two excuses: mental laziness or want of men- occur ‘Mr. Snort Bray, Mr. Vociterato Shout- _Nasal ‘ effective direction of Mrs. Dictatoria Aus- wherever found, aud especially do I love artistic choral music, whew expressively rendered. SERENADE. >> aa Instrumental Musie’ in Churehes : Congregational Singing. Epvitor or Watcuman: While your able correspondent, Serenade, is drubbing church choirs, in general, rather severely, I think, permit me to pay my respects to a musical, or rather, wemusical, clement, of more or legs force, in the composition , of every congregation, whose besetting “piety” is a palpable and pronounced op- position te the fine music of cultivation being used in the service and worship of God. . As my remarks are suggested by long and wide-spread observation and consid- | erable experience in different fields, and are designed for general application and entirely without reference to any place or | persons, itis hoped that none will take umbrage from them. But, in) order to preclade all possibility of such a deplor- | able fallacy, just let the mind’s-cye pene- trate the corridors of some remote church | —say, in Nova Scotia—and Jet us desig- nate the discordant, or militant clement fonnd therein, by pseudonyms, such as, howl, Mr. Snares Grumblegiowl, Mr. | Nosevoiee, alse Miss Squeakie- Squall, Miss Whinie Treble, Miss Whoopee . Yell and Miss Parrie Feline, all under the | tere and Mr. Monotone Balfdoze, in favor of untutored, unaided congregational sing- ing, viva voce, au naturel, aid against those glaring vanities and rank impieties, train- ed choirs and organs. Dr. Ruskin said, “Musie¢ is the only un- fallen angel, among the mere humanities.” Meaning that good musie, inatscl/, is pure | | | eae : ' and purifying; and although, in general, Hts influence is emotional, it reduces the crop outof the sarcastic quips about ‘“fid- minds and feelings of those under its con- trol, to a plastic condition, susceptible of the deepest impressions. To insure this, however, the music must be of such an order as to wholly occupy the mind dur- ing its reign. Butif the whole musical scope is confined toa few simple tunes, | ineorporated into the very being, withont mental effort, fram childhood on, and worn bald by constant use, the bawling or droning of them can be done with the whole thoughts astray. AS IN LITATURE, musical composition is exhaustless in quantity, diversified in quality and varied in value from most worthy to most worth- less: Aud inv the mere vocal performance of it, although we are all gifted by the Creator with voices, tine and correct sing- ing is only attainable by art, study and practice. This truth is rarely understood in theory or recognized in practice: for any one, gifted by nature witha fair voiec, well without any special study of music or the veeal organs: Yet in that, asin all knowledge, excellence implies hard grinding, continued work, and even the finest talents and best opportunities are vothing without it. Aud the pretence of PRAISE WORSHIP of the Creator with a minimum mess of the most threadbare insipidities of Music, —his highest gift tohumanity—from sheer mental laziness, culpable indifference and self-righteous egotism—can only be re- ceived by himas the ungodly mockery that it really is. VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL. We have ample testimony that the mua- sical efforts of the angelic hosts will not be contined to mere vocal exercises. The Seer ef the Apocalypse says: ‘And I heard w yoice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder; and I heard the voice of harp- ers harping with their harps.” Certainly these are grand orchestral effects. So also, all tlfrough the Bible, we read of in- strumental and vocal music combining in the praiseof God: As, for instance, when, “David and all Israel played before God with all their might, aud with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.” Such a combination of musical instruments, in most of modern churches, would fill nine-tenths of the worshipers with holy horror. The pious heart of , SISTER STIPFFNECK would be wrung with anguish, and she would sweat great drops uf the souerest kind of vinegar. Why ? Is there uot fal- ly as much of the divine esseuce of praise to the Creator in the thrilling themes and chords of a graud Syniphony as iu the nasalization of Sister Austere? There is nothing su bigoted as iguor- ance, Brother Bray canuet distinguish | buckwheat notes. ia generally considered capable of singing — If then musie is such a good thing, all | . | charches ought to have the very best of it, ' suggests tothe unhappy Brag thoughts of importunate monkeys going about with _ dirty little caps begging for nickela, He , campot understand how the hearts of some mere approach of such an emotion in his own breast.

Therefore, if the strong meat of good music causes Bro. Bray to offend, let him and his kind, feed on musical pap till time shall end—when, if perchance he gcts to heaven, he will take a backseat. But it is unwise to give up Bray in des- pair; by persistent well directed efforts for his improvement, he may semetime reach a mitigated state of semi-savage musical existence, when the knowledge will dawn upon him that music and werds have separate and distinct significance, and that praise by music may be a ‘dul- ect potency,” distinct but as legitimate as praive by articulate language. Then he “will astonish his own mind by discover- ing that there is actually snch a thing as praising God by the sounds of the Organ, —the tlute, the violin, the cornet,—in fact, every instrument capable of adding volume to euphonic harmony. It may even be possible for the Brag brethren to see, in the course of time, the unutterable silliness and ignorance which dling to the praise of God !” ; | I have no room left at present to advert to the many evils flowing out of the lack ‘of proper culture, regulation and direc- ‘tion of church music; but Lean finish this letter by relating an incident illustrative of one absurd phase of it. In a small town in lowa, there isa church in which the singing had,--to use their own words,—-“‘ran completely down.” It had been led for many years by one of } ile deacons, whose voice and musical powers had been gradually giving ont. One evening, on an occasion of interest, the clergyman gave ont the hymn, which, j Was sung even worse than usnal,—the -deacon, of course, leading off. Upon its conclusion, the minister arose and request- ed brether S—to repeat the hymn, and try to do better, as he could not conscienti- ‘ously pray after such singing. Deacon .S-- very composedly “pitched it to an- other tune,” and it was sang again with a manifest improvement upon the ‘first time. The clergyman then proceed- ed with his prayer. He had finished, and “and taken the book to give out a second hymn, when he was interrupted by dea- con S—- gravely getting up, and saying, in a voice audible to the whole congrega- tion,--“Will Mr. L-- please make anoth- er prayer? It will beimpossible for me to sing after such praying as that!” | Respectfully, MEMORITER. POA! A A A TATE AO | ! t 1 SnockinG RaAtLRoap ACCIDENT.—Col- umbia, Nov. 25.—J. W.

He says that his entire crop is cared very nicely and thinks that he can realize an average of $10 per hundred, at the present price tobacco is bringing on this market. Mr. A. S.

Uncle Sam Foote the: Bills—Important Com- ming Chasyes inthe Persouel of the t:co Houses. , From our Regular Correspondent. Wasinnoton, D. C., Dec. 4, 1880. There isa busy turmoil of preparation in the capitol and throughout the capital of the United States. The hall of the House of Representatives and the Senate chamber have been washed, pelished, swept, dusted and recarpeted for the re- ception of the National Legisluture. Com- mittee rooms have been put in order and made tidy for statesmen, who will plant pumber nines on cushioned chairs, and aquirt tobacco juice on velvet carpets. No government offices in the world are so luxuriously furnished as ours are, and the severe plainess of the committee rooms of the House of Parliament, in London, and of the offices of the Bank of England are in striking and suggestive contrast with the gorgeons salons that may be found in the United States Capital, Treasury, War, Navy, State, Interior, and Post Oflice De- government office sheuld be more expen- sively furtished than the oftice of a pri- vate individual, and the remark, so com- mon with contractors and those who let the contracts: “Who cares for expenses ; Uncle Sam foots the bills,” is uo reason why the government clerk should be hous- ed as dajutily as Cora Pearl or Sara Bern- handt. The arrivals of members have been quite numerous within the last two days. Speaker Randall has been in the city sincé the first of the week. Tle expresses the opinion that there will be av exiting session, Members of Congress who have made careful estimates of the results of recent olections, figure a decided Republican ma- jority in the House. The roll of the next Congress will most probably show 153 fepublicans to 14° Democrats, giving the former a majority of thirteen. The changes in the personel of the House of Representatives that will conte in after the 4th of Mareh next, will be ve- ry marked. One hundred and four of the present Congress will haye their names on the roll of the 42th Congress, Kan- sas, Maine, New Hampshire, South Caro- lina and Texas are the only States having more than one representative, that elect their present delegations. Of the senators, Messrs. Eaton, MceDon- ald, Bruce, Sharon, Randolph, Kernan, Thurman, Wallace and Withers will not respond in the 47th Congress, because their successors have either been elected or there have beensuech political revolu- tions as will certainly cause changes. There is, as yet, not much light on the question of the reorgenizatiou of the next Senate. It will depend on the so-called Independents, Senators Davis and Ma- hone ;-upon the new senator.to be elected in ‘Tennessee ;, ayd upon Senator-elect Fair, of Nevada, Fho, rumor says, is vow leaning Republi¢an-ward. re- Work on the Western North Carolina Railroad. — A Personal Inspection of Whatis De- ing Done. Desiriug to inform ourselves, and thereby the better inform the’ outside world, on Tuesday we accepted an invi- tation from Capt. J. M. Jones to inspect the work he has done on the Paint | Rock branch and the Western division | of the W. N.C. R. R., since the first day of September, with an average fore of uot more than LOO hands, Capt. J. commenced his work at the mouth of Smith’s Creek, at the western | terminus of the bridge which is to span the French Broad immediately at Ashe- ville, and continues three miles down the French Broad, skirting the high blutts which overlook the river on that side. No work has hitherto been done on these three imiles, aud embraced in_ this dis- tance is an amount of heavey rock work which would appal the strongest heart other than practiced hand ; but this diffi- culty, together with the minor ones of leaping from bluff to bluff, has been well nigh overcome in three months under the eye and contrel ef Capt. J. is force | has been recently augmented to more than 150 laborers, and: he now asserts that by the first day of January he will have his three miless of rou bed Jeady for the iron—and Wen bells be _Ziows what he can do, So ey -. The six miles “below him—much of whieh has heretefore been graded—is under the management of Mr. MacFar- land, and the latter gentleman expects to meet Capt. Jones by the time he com- pletes his section—which will place the read ready forthe iren virtually to Alex- ander’s early in January. All this work has been done since the first of September, and the bridges with which to span the Swannanoa and French Broad are being framed and will soon be ready to be put up—and yet, there are those who, for what purpose we knew not, still assert that nothing will be done towards the completion of the two branches of the read. ‘Inthe meantime Capt. Jones has been working a part of his force on the Duek- town line near Claytou’s mills, and his instructions are,as soon as he finishes his present section on the river, to throw 200 hands on the line towards Pigeon, a as rapidly as possible. The full survey of the road to Pigeon River has been Piaced iti his Hands and he knows what is before him. : / Within the last week the State has sent up ua large namber of convicts, and within the next week or two the State's partments, -There {s no reason why a and to push the work in that direction’ quota of 509 Is s “Will'be placed at the two toads ; this qnota has never been full since the saleof.the road. :) For the first tine’in the history of the road—siuee the commencement of work: by the State,several years since—those in charge of the work are. furnished with necessary tools and equipments in order to prosecute the work preperly, and con- sequently the same amount of labor can- now be worked to 50 per cent. advantage over what was formetly done. ; Parties ave how in New. York pur- chashivg iron for the road with the view of placing it down as fast as the bed shall be prepared ; the general order along the. whole line is forward! Aud we may confidently expect to see the reads to Pigeon River and Paint Rock graded as rapidly ashuman energy eau accomplish the werk.— Asheville Cilizen. — —- ~~ Judge Black on Railroads. The business of New York being so de- pendent on the railroads, the question af controling those great works which tend towards that city has assumed pressing importance. The New York Assembly appojnted a committec to investigate the matter two yegrs since, and we were sur- prised to find that the chief officers to whom were committed the responsible function of fixing rates stated under oath that the rates agreed on were not found. e@ on any principle, nor bore any relation to the cost of crrriage.. Of the actual cost. of transportation, these officers stated they were ignorant. . Surely they were incompetent and ought to have been at once displaced. Railroading is pot only a business, but a most important business, and every cle- ment which affects the working of a road ought to be understood by those officers charged with fixing the rates of carriage. There is no wystery in the matter; it nerely requires attention to details. Be- eayse of the powerful inthnaenee which these corporations exert upon the business prosperity of New York city, its chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee on railroads, and these have obtained from Judge Black his opinion on the question of the control of railroads by State au- thority. Judge Black takes am extreme view, but his view is getting to be large- ly entertained by thoyghtful lawyers. In What is known as the Dartmonth College case, Mr. Webster insisted that -eharters of incorporation were contracts. The eourt long hesitated, and it was supposed were about to decide adversely to Mr. Web- ster’s arguinent, bat itis now said that some upasual influence was brought to bear upon the court, and a decision was made but little anticipated, which has been very far-reaching in its effects. For half a centary the country has submitted to that decision ; but of late years it has been greatly questioned and the tendeney of the courts is to emasculate it by giving prominence to the well settled) principle that property used in and about the pub- He becomes impressed with the character of public property and is subject to rea- sonable control of the public expressed through the Legislature. And just as the that the old time judges and justices used to fix the price of drinks and of board at the taverns so now the right is claimed for the Legis- lature to fix the price of carrying the public and its grain upon the railroads. Judge Black takes this view and says: “A public highway cannot be private property, and a railroad Jaid out and built records of our courts show poses of commerce is as much a public highway asaturnpike road, canal, or nav- igable river.” And he again says: “The corporations who have got into the habit of calling themselves the owners of the railroads have no proprietary right, title, or claim to the roads themselves but la mere franchise annexed to and exercisa- ble thereon. hey are the agents of the State for the performance of a publicduty. If the franchise be forfeited or surrender- ed, or if it expire by efflux of time, the State takes possession of the road, and runs it herself, or employs a new agent. The company cannot keep the road any more than an outguing collector of a port can appropriate to himself the custom house where he did his official work.” Speaking of the unlawful practice of granting rebates, he says: “Such wrongs as these are done, not only in a few sporadic cases, but gener. 1 ly and habitually on a very large scale. Certain oil men, whose retinery was on Long Island, got rebates amounting to $10,000,000 in eighteen months; and seventy-nine houses (I believe that is the number) eugaged in the same business were broken up,” In conclusion, he remarks : “Timaintain that all the States have a clear and indefensible right to protect their people against such wrongs, and to exercise the powerasasacred duty. When that duty is properly performed the inter- nal trade of each State will cease tu be enslaved and crippled as it is now, {But the commerce between the States will still be open to inequalities, and liable to oppression and plander by transportatiou companies unless the national Legislatare does something to save it. Congress has power ‘to regulate coumerce between the States.” “It is not strictly within the seope of that authority when it makesa law for- bidding carriers through the State-to in- jure, impede, or destroy the general trade of the country by extravagant and dis-. criminating charges? If that be not a regulation of inter-State commerce, what would. be? The power being conceded, an effectual mode of righting the wrongs now complained of cay easily be dev ised.” RO Baltimore, Md.--] have ased Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup persovally and in my fami- ly for two or three years, and am prepar- Yo it as a remedy for Coughs, Culda, cte,— James Corrie, Dentist. ae by the authority of the State for the pur- ed ta say that there is nothing to compare- a2 ee re Se % == Fak = ; Greexesono Distatcr—W.

Pitrspy ng, Dee. 2.—A thrilling acci- dent oecurred at the American Tron Works, on Soyth Side, this afternoon. Wile Robert Moore was at work at his rolls his catcher failed te seize with his tongs a bar of White-hot iron whieh had been placed between the rolls. The irep twisted itself thrice around the rolls, forming a “collar.” The catcher struck the iron, when there blew off a piece in shape of a ring with a.stem twenty inches long. Running off at right angles to the circle the band flew back and fell around Moore’s head, résting on his shoulders. Quick as thought he grabbed the long stem with his tongs and the white-hot ring With his hand, and with steady nerve and gentle motement lifted the fiery thing front his shouhters. His face was badly burned by the heat emitted from the iron and the flesh of his hand wascut into the bone. Afterwards he put the ring over his head. It was bat two inches larger in diameter thaw his head. —-_- Railroad Matters. Chester and Tenoir Narrow Gauge—North Carolina Midland—Generel Notes. Maj. S. M.

The marriage of Joel Hanrbree and Miss Jane Dale, of Ruane county, dréw together a large company of their friends aud ‘rela- tives, who belong to the prominent fami- lies in the vicinity. The wedding bad long been talked of, and was the social event of the year. After the ceremony the company was invited to the hospita- ble board of Col. Dale, the bride and bridegroom iu the meantime withdraw- ing. The table was bountifally. supplicd and allate heartily. The eveniug was spent in festivities. Another supper was served. After the second meal several guests began complaining of illness, but it was laughed off and the gayety contin- ned. About 11 o'clock a sudden lethargy seemed to overtake the whole company and in a few minutes 27 were unconscious. The few who retained consciousness set themselvels at work to résuscitate their companions, but without avail. ‘Twelve were removed to other houses in the neighborhood, and as the news spread the whole conntry round was aroused with excitement, 28 nearly every promi- nent family had members present at the fatal feast. Such medical aid as could be summoned could give little relief, and two days after the occurrence six of the wedding guest were dead. Robert Dale the bride’s father, died next day. Mike May, a relative of the groom, died ina few hours, Albert Gallagher and Miss Mattie Lovelace, well known young peo- ple, died nextday. The young girls, Enma Peters and Kate Lowey, died within 24 hours. Col. Dale and his wife are very low, and their death is momem- tarily expected. The cause of the trage- dy was the use of arsenic instead of salt in seasoning the chickens. Col. Dale purchased a quantity of arsenic a day or two before to kill crows, and carelessly left it in the kitchen. A blundering ser- vaut mistook it for salt hence the fatal results. Only these who partook of the chicken were poisoned, -.- A Modern Sehool Dialogue. The following incident ought to have already occurred in some of our publie schools : .

And yet the speech was made by a re- publican offieial, and the only mistake about it wasa misunderstanding on our part of the name of the author of it. It is no great matter any way, for we suppose It is trne that votes could be bought at 24 each from either the Republican or Democratic side.

Fe . BYS R. —_— OLD FAMILIES OF ROWAN, CONTINUED. . Rowan county has been the home ofa number of other distinguished men, of whom but littls mention can be made without swelling these memoirs beyond the limits assigned. Among these, brief mention must be made of HON. JOHN GILES, He was a native of Salisbury, and a descen- dent, by his mother’s ‘side, of the early-law- yer, John Dunn, Esq. He was graduated from the University of North Carolina, in 1808. He studied law and settled in his native town, where he practiced his: profes- sien for more than thirty years. The name of Jack Giles, as he was familiarly called, was known in the whole western part of the State. Ife was the clerk of the Rowan Su- perior Court for many years; and was elect- ed te Conuress from his district in 1829, bu: yas compelled to decline because of. ill health. He never married, but maintained his mother and his sisters handsomely while he lived. One of his sisters was the second wife of John Fulton, after whom one of the streets of Salisbury is named, and also the Salisbury Ledge of Free-Masons. But the last of the race ef the Gileses and Fultons has been laid in the grave. NON. WM. C. LOVE represented the Salisbury District in Con- gress in 1815. He wasa Virginian by birth, and reared at the University of that State. fe studied law and removed to Salisbury, where he first married Elizabeth, dauehter of the Hon. Spruce Macay, by whom he had one child, the late Bebert E. Love, Esq. His second wife was Sally Yarboro, daughter of Capt. Edward Yarboro, and grand-daughter of Alexander Long, Nsq., of Yadkin Ferry, by whem he had two childred, William and Julius Love. Win. C. Love and his second wife both lie buried in the private burying ground of the Yarboro family in Salisbury, just in the rear of Meroney’s Hall, on the spot where the Hotel for colored people now stands, TITE FISHER FAMILY. The Hon. Charles Fisher. was a native of Rowan county, and was born Oct. 20th, 1779. His father came te North Carolina before the Revolution, and was an officer ot militia during the war. The subject of this notice was educated by Rev. Dr. John Rob- inson,of Poplar Tent, and by the Rev. Dr. Me- Pheeters of Raleizh. He studied law and obtained license to practice, but seon abandoned the bar for the more. stirring scenes of political life. Ife enjoyed the contidence of the peop!e of Rowan county as fully as any man who ever lived in the county, and they delighted to honor him with every office for which he ever asked their sufffages. In 1819 he represented Row- an in the State Senate, and in thesame year was electel from the Rowan District for Congress. After this term he again served Rowan county in the State legislature, and Was a member of the convention of 1835, called to amend the State Constitution, In 1839 he was azain elected to Congress ovel Dr. Pleasant Henderson, though the latter was ad most popalar man, and the cham pish of a party supposed to be in the majority. Mr, Fisher wasone of the most active and energetic men inthe State, an unvielding advocate of State Rights against Federal encroachments and usurpations. Near the close of life he became a mem- ber of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and strove to discharge his duty to his Crea- tor, as he had endeavored to do his duty to his country. After along, an honored, and a useful life, he died far away from home, in Hills- boro, Miss., on the 7th of May, 1849. No monument marks his grave. Tfis ashes should rest here in one of the cemeteries. among the honored dead of Rowan. Mr. Fisher marricd Christina, daughter ef Lewis Beard, Esq, of Salisbury, by whom he had several children. One son died in infancy Lis daughter Marv, married a Mr. Wall, and removing to Georgia dicd there a few years avo, Christina, another daughter still re- sides in Salisbury. His other son, CoOL. CHARLES FREDERICK FISHER, was the nob’e son of a noble sire. He was born in Salisbury in 1816. [fis preparatory education “as conducted in the classical schoots of Salisbury, au-| fram tuem he was transferred to Yale College. He never stud- ied any of the professions, but devoted his attention to agriculture and mining, and fer several years was associated with Dr. Austin inthe publication of the Western Carolinian, In 1854-5. he was a member of the State Legisiature frem Rowan county. He suc- eecded the Hon. John M. Morchead as Pres- ident of the North Carolina Rail Road in 1855, and continued to preside over the in- terests of that great State enterprise, with eminent skill and abitity till 1861, When the alarm of war rang throughout, the lund, in 1861, Mr. Fisher went at once into the army, and was chosen colonel of the 6th Regiment of North Carolina troops. On the 2tst of July, in the midst of the Bat- tle of Bull Run, Col. Fisher arrived with bis Reziment on the field of battle. In order to accomplish this, Col. Fisher, whose ac- quaintance with rail roading was_ perfect, | took charge of the train that carried his Regiment, and it is said, run the engine him- self, between Richmond and Manassas Junc- tion, and thus arrived on the field) many hours earlier than he would have otherwise done, Ile led his men immediately inte the fight. About four o'clock in the evening there was a lull in the battle, and Col. Fish- er proceeded a short distance from his Reg- iment to reconnoitre. when he was shot by one of the Breoklyn Zonaves. “It is sad to be eompelled te add that he was like the Grecian Chief who was the first to land on the Trojan Coast. and the first to dic.” And it was a gloomy day in Salisbury, when the remains of her chivalrous son were brought home. and sorrowfully laid in’ their resting place in the Salisbury Cemetery, | Luthergiy] G raveyard |. a Col. Fisher married Eli.abeth Ruth Cald- well, oldest panghter of Hon, David F. Caldwell, in July 1845, by whom he had sev- eral children, whe were left in orphange to the care of his sister, Miss Christine Fisher. The names of these children are Frances, Anne, and Frederick. Miss Franecs Fish- er, under the nomme de plume of Christian Reid, has achieved an enviable reputation as a writer of clegant fiction. Her volume, entitled the “Land of the Sky,” possesses the merit of being a faithtul delineation of the choicest scenery in Western North Car- olina, elegantly and attractively written. This charming book has been the means of attracting many visitors to eur beautiful meuntains; and has rendered it quite fash- jonable for tourists to visit this region, Board of Canvassers, thereupon accepted and approved his boud, aad the chairman | adunivistered to him the oath of his office. | where the loftiest mountains east of the Mississippi stand grouped together in state- ly grandeur. signifies a sharp, hig “Fock, was probably given tothe family, or arsutii- 4 | Reformers. and a coadjuter of John Knox. ’ hanily county, witl at Be bg, asmost ewan county, without steppi nO of tbé-families dia, in the 7 a States.

The Rowan family _seent to have been adherents of the church of England, as. is evinced both by family tradition, and from existence of an old Book of Cotitmon Pray- er —Cambridge edition of 1766—,still in the possession of the family, with family records on its fly leaves. ‘ an , About a mile and a half from the Trading Pord, near the road leaeting tu Saliébury, is a place still known. as-“Craigesiob -tietd,”’ where the ruins of old chimneys ate still te be seen. Here Archibald Craige and Mary his wife settled about 1750. The title deeds taken out before the establishuvent of Row- an county, are not registered here; but were probably registered at old’ Aasan Court House, at Mount Pleasant. But as early as 1756 we find deeds from James Carter and Hugh Foster, Township Trustees, to’ Archi- bald Craige, for lots in Salisbury. In 1758 there is a deed from Carters& Foster to Mary Craige. In the files of Inventories in the Clerk's office, we learn that) Archibald Craige died May 20th, 1758. and that Mary Craige adiministered on his estate. In 1764 there is the first mention of James Craige, as the purchaser of some lots in Salisbury, and in 1779 there is the record of a grant trom the State to James and David Craige for 560 acres of land on the Siath side of the Yadkin River. Summing ap their crants and purchases we find that James and David Craige were the owners, jointly and several- ly, of nearly 2000 actes of land on the main Yadkin the South Pork of Yadkin, and Ab- bott’s Creek. Pucting these traditions and re- cords together, we conclude. that Archibald and Mary Craige were the fewndersof the Rawan fanily—that when Archibald Craige died in 1758%,—his sons being too voung— his widow became administrathr of the es- tate, und that the two sons, James, the elder, and David the younger, were -qrewn men before the Revolutionary war, ,James was the purchaser of land an 1764, and must have been 21 years old at that’time.

Perhaps he remdved to Some other part/of the coun- try: : : From the record in the old Prayer Book we learn that David Craige was marricd to Polly Foster, July 23rd, 1776, ninetcen days after the Declaration of Indgpenitence. Hugh Foster, one of the Pownship Trustees, whites himself as afarmer, and perhaps Mrs. David Craige was his daughter... Rhis David Craigre is the one mentioned in Ge F Wheel ers Sketches, (vol. I. p. 80) as 4 Ticutenant in Capt. Wm. Temple Cole’s¢ompany in 1776. Col. Wheeler tather states that Davie Craige “was distinguished forJis bravery andpatriotic daring,” in thase stliy) g limes But th: history of these daring deeds has been allowed to sink into obfivion, with those of his brave companions in the great strugele for Independence. He died in Novy 1784. The children of David and Polly. Craige. as recorded in the old) Prayer Book, were James Craige, born Feb, 2nd, #778; David Craige, born Jan. 27, 1780; Lucy and Mary born April, 1782, and Thomas Qraige, born Aug. 5 ho 17s4. James Craive settled on the old) Mocks- ville mad, six miles from Salisbury, where somé of Iyis descendants are stil residing. Thouas Craige lived near Dr. Chunn's place, not far from the old Mocksville road apd married Susan Jones, the sister of Fudge Rowland Jones, late of Louisiitlas He diced | in 1845 and left two children; Thomas who died-in Sheveport, and. Mary,, who is still living and terching in St. Louis, Mo. David) Craige, Jr, married his cousin, Mary Foster, and lived’ on tlié South Fork of the Yadkin, atthe place new the resi- dence of Janres Hudson. His ebildren were Rohert Newtor, Samuel, Jobnand Burten Craige. Rober: Newton Craigg lived at the home ot his father, on South River, and died just before the late war, leaving two daugh- ters. Samuel left two children-—Sally who married Robert Chunn and meyved to Ar- kansas, and Clitus, who was killed at the Battle of Cedar Ranin Virginia: Jno. Craige left two sons and a dauyhter--the latter, Miss Bettie Craige, who lived with tier uncle, Hon. Burton Craige, in Salisbury, for a num- ber of years. ~~ HON, BURTON CRAIGE, the youngest son of David: Craige, Jr, was born in Rowan county, MarehJ 38th, 1811, at- the family residence on the South Pork of the Yadkin, a few miles above the Point, or junction of the two rivers, “EHS carly days were spent on the farm, add lin attending the schools which the neighborhood afford. ed.

The Borough cm- braced nearly the same ‘territory now com. prised in the prescnt Salisbury Township. and wasaroalic of the old colonial times when Newb:-rn, Edenton, Wilmington, Bath. Halifax and Salisbury were each entitled to a representative in the Assembly. The con. vention which met in Raleigh, June 4th 4835, to. amend the constitation of North Carolina, abolished Borough representation, and the codmies thenceforth sent represen- tatives according to population. Ta the otd Borough system the free negroes were allow- ed by sufferance, without specitic legal right, to voteat elections, but under the revised constitutioa this was forbidden. Mr. Craiue was wont to describe with much zests how the different political parties, under the old system were in the habit ef -herding and penniog the free negroes, and low white voiers also, in the “Round Bottom” and else- where, guarding, feeding, and treating them for.several: dirys betore elections, ‘aud then mar¢hing them intottown and “voting” them en masse. ‘Sometimes the oppasite party would make a raid upon one of these pens, at the last moment and carry off their veters in triumph, Thee abuses among other things, led to the abolj:ion of the Borough system. . .

He’ those qualities that e1deared him to the people— plainness of , Simplicity of manners, and familiarity in intercourse, without the semblance of condescension. He remembered the names and the faces of peopte, and the humblest man whom Mr. Craige had ever known would approach him with perfect assurance of recognition and cordial greeting. Ido not know that Mr. Craige was peculiarly successful as a farmer himself, ‘but he could talk of farming, and of all the interests of the farmer with far more intelligence, fluency and accuracy than the farmer could bimself. He was as per- fectly at ease in the homes of the humblest, as he was polite and courteous in the parlors of the rich and fashionable. He was thus eminently qualified for a successful poli§ tician, and when in 1853 he received the nomination for Congress, he was elected, as he was also in 1855, '57 and ’59, and he was a member of Congress when the late war be- When the Convention of North Caro- lina was called in 1861, to determine the course North Carolina should pursue, Mr. Craige was sent thére from Rowan county, and on the 20th of May he offered the Or- dinance of Secession, which was adopted, and which placed the State of North Caro- lina aleng with her sister States of the South in the great struggle against the Fedcral Government. By this Convention he was chosen as a8 member of the Confederate Con- gress, along with W. N. HW. Smith, Thomas Ruffin, T. D. McDowell, A. W. Venable, J. M.- Morehead; R. C. Puryear and A. T. Davidson, After this he retired to private lite, though watching with eager interest the mighty struggle in which his country was cmbarked. And when, at last the flag which bore the blazonry of the “Stars and Bars” was furled, he declined to take any further part in national affairs. He would not apply for the removal of his “disabili- ties.’ He still practised his profession, studied the history, and recounted the deeds of former days, and sought repose trom the strifes of public atfairs in the bosom ef his family. ife died in Concord, in the house of his son-in-law, Mr. A. B. Young, where he had gone to attend the Cabarrus Court, Dec. 80th, 1875. His remains were laid to rest in Oak Grove Cemetery in Salisbury, In stature Mr. Craige was herculean—6 feet 6 inches in height and ef correspond- ing proportions, Fearless and positive in the isertion of his convictions, and with a mien and physical form that might have awakened the envy and excited the fear of the bravest knight of the days of chivalry, he instinctively commanded the respect of his asso¢eiates, while at the same time he charmed thegr with his frank, affable and jovial dispostiams Mr. Craige left {hiree sons and two dangly ters, who, with their mother, still survive. James, the eldest, was a Cadet, at West Point, at the opening of the war, but he re- turned in haste to his home, entered the Confederate army, and rose to the rank of Major in the infantry, Kerr, the second son, was in the Universi- ty of North Carolina, when the war began, but entered the Cavalry service in Gen. Ru- fus Barringer’s Brigade. Ife served through the war, and is now a lawyer in Salisbury. Frank, the youngest, also entered the army and servéd through the war. He now re- sides in Tennessee. His oldest daughter is the witeof Mr. Alfred B. Young of Concord, and, his youngest, the wife of Mr, Jno. P. Allison of Concord. ee aa Common Scnse in Advertising, A model advertisement is designed to satisfy the rational demand of a probable customer to known what you have got to sell. The successful advertiser, therefore observes three rules: First, he aims to furnish the information which the public wants; second, he aims to reach that part of the pabtic whose wants he is prepared to satisfy ; and third, he endeavors to make his information as casy of acquisi- tion by the public as possible. ‘The commonest and handiest thing in the American!family is the newspaper, and as nearly all shoping proceeds from the family—from its needs, its intelligence, its tastes, its fashions- -it follows that the thoaghtfnl and successful advertiser ap- proaches the family by this means. He does not waste his money and his time in loading his advertising gun and shooting it off skyward in the streets, at all crea- tion, on the chance that some willing cus- tomer may be going that way, may be brought down; on the contrary, he takes account of the advertising amniunition which he has on hand, and loads and points his gun, through the columns of some suitable newspaper at the game he wants to hit. Besides knowing that newspapers are the best means of advertising and how to pick out the best newspaper for his pur- pose, the successful advertiser fully ap- preciates the importance of persistent ad- vertising. Mr. Bryant used to say that the great influence of the press depends for one thing, upon its power of iteration. Presenting the samesubject in many forms it finally wins attention and acquisccnce. Used in this thorough and systematic way advertising columns of the newspaper are as useful and essential to the merchant, as means of telling the public what he las to sell, as the clerks behind the coun- ter to show his goods when the people come to examine them. ee ee Eighteen years ago the ‘irst Pro- testant church was organised in Rio Janeiro, and two persons received on confession, Since that time nearly three hundred have jvined this one organization, mostly converts from Rome.

An Englisl; Christian writes of a remarkable circumstance that lately game under his observation. Cuming from a religions meeting sometime age, one of our nobility stepped into @ private circle of friends, one of whon said to him: , "Your Jordship promised you would tell us about your son who died in Africa.’ His lordship narrated the follow- jng incident : ‘Oar boy was the darling of his mother, and his father’s fayorite ghild. We could not but love him. But he left us, and went to South Africa, When he left us he was un- ponverted, and this was our chief sor- row. He had not been long in Africa when we received a letter to the fol- Jowing effect : ‘My Dear Fatuer: You will be serry to hear that J have met an ac- gident. J am unable to write much. The doctor hopes that ina day or two I shail be better, I. will let you knew iv g day or two, if. I am able.’ ‘O, said he, ‘if there had only been in it one such expression as ‘by God’s providence,’ or ‘if the Lord will,’ - , But there was no recognition of God; and the father grieved lest his son sheuld die inthe unconverted state in which he left home. Time rolled on and another letter came. The postmark was the same, pat the handwriting was different. It turned out to be written by the phy- sician. The substance of the letter was as follows: *Your lordship will be grieved to hear that your son died by the acci- flent to which he referred in his last Jetter. He lingered but a few days. He suffered greatly.’ Said the nobleman ; ‘When J read that letter J taok it away with me and laid it down before the Lord and paid : ‘O, Absalom, my son, my son! would God that I had died for thee, my son, my son!’ I dared not hand the letter to his mother. Braken- hearted, I taok it to God, aud after- ward told it to his mother. But there was, nota word of God, or Proyi- lence, in the Ictter, and it was bring- my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave; I felt as if I should never lift up my head again. ‘A few weeks again clapsed, when a third letter was brought, Jt was substantially this ; "Four lopship will grieve ta earn of the death of yoursen, The nament I heagd efghis illness I resorted to his bedside, where I found him in the deepest anxjety aboyt his soul. He was laboring ynder 4 sense of ilt—a deep load of sin. J] painted im to the dying Lamb; told him of the one Suacrifice—the one Sayigur ; gud your lordship will be delighted to kaow that on the day before his slepartuge, light broke in upon his maind, and he died rejoicing in sin forgiven. His last words were these ; ==‘Tell my father that I die in Jesus and that [ shall mest him in heaven.’|.

There is an alderman in Detroit who knows a bale of hay whien he sees it as well as auy man living. He was passing up Michigan avenue the other day, when he came across a small group of friends, They had pechaps been waiting for him, know- ing that he would pass that way about that hour. They .were standing near a bale of hay marked ‘210 pounds,’ aud beside the bale stood a flat-chested, slim-waisted, consump- tive-looking youth of 20 summers, who kept spitting on his hands and saying he would shoulder the bale or die in the attempt. ‘I’ve bet ten dollars that he can’t, remarked one of the group to the al- derman, as he came to a halt. ‘Why, he must be a fvol!’ replied the official, as he looked from the man te the hay. ‘I can’t, eh?’ querried the con- sumaptive. ‘You dasn’t put up $10 that I cau’t shoulder this ere hay and carry it cross the street and back.’ Nothing but chain-lightning could have beat the movements of that al- derman in pulling out an ‘X’ and placing it in the hands of a stake- holder. When all was readythe con- sumptive spit on his hands, sheulder- ed the bale and took his walk. The end of the alderman’s tongue was in sight, and his eyes could have been stepped on as the dying youth re- turned to the curb, dropped the bale and took the money. ‘Lemme see that hay !’ whispered the offieial as consciousness finally re- turned, He walked up to the bale, gave it a heave, and it went rolling over. Then he picked it up and hefted it. got red clear back to the collar-but- ton, and walked off without a word. The consumptive was only half a day fixing up the sham bale with sticks and papers and a little hay, and $10 is good pay for half a day’s work.— Detroit Free Press. rr oem The True Style of Speaking, On the whole, when one a man is master of himself and of his materials, the best rule that can be given him is to forget style altogether, and to think only of the’reality to be expressed. The more the mind is intent on the reality, the simpler, truer, more tell- ing the style will be. The advice which the great preacher gives for eondyct holds not less for all kinds of writing: ‘Aim at things, and your words, will be right without aiming. Guard against leve of display, love of seeming originality. Aim at meaning what you say, and saying what you mean.’ Whena man who is full of his subject and has matured his pow- ers of expression sets himself to speak thus simply and sincerely, whatever there is in him of strength or sweet- ness, of dignity or grace, of humor or pathos, will find its way out naturally jnto his language. That language will be true tothe aran himself. Free from self-cousciousness, free from mannerism, it will bear the impress of whatever is best in his individuali- ty.—Shairp. EE So ee Rey, Roper? Cotiyer made an| address to the graduates of the Pack- ard Business Jnstitute in New York, Tuesday evenig on “Hardpan ;” and the New York Sun, instead of devot- ing a colymjn or so to his address, [groups together his apicalated apho- risms in:the fullowing effective style: “Any kind of an honest job is bet- ter than-no jobatalky | “Take a dollar a day for your work if you can get no more. ‘“‘A man’s best friends are his ten fingers. “When evjl days come, as eyil days will, nq man deserves the title of gen- tleman jf he does not take honest work ta do, regardless of social in- fluences. - * “When cayntry boys come to the city, if they will hald on to the old sweet ways, they ean defy the world. “Keep your grip on the hard pan af principles and good conduct, and you will be men of good name- and goed fortune. “When a hoy fills a house with bugs he is all right, provided he don’t run after humbygs.

The expression “to pour oil on the troubled waters” is generaly regarded as a metaphor or figure of speech, il- Justrating the action of some persua- sive pedcemaking, softening the an- gry passions of contending disputants. On the other hand, the modifying in- fluence of oleaginous liquids upon the waves was long ago demonstrated as a scientific fact, and the equinoctial gales would probably have been kept in subjection ere now on the high seas but for the uncertainty of the weather and the estimated expense of oiling an area as limited even as the Bay of Biscay. It would appear, however, that the gentlemen of Perth has sulv- ed the problem of economy as applied to greasing the sea, and that in the fu- turegships may carry with them at a comparatively trifling cost a sufficient the fiercest cyclone. A Northern con- temporary states that a series of ex- periments have lately taken place in the North Harbor, Peterhead, with the most satisfactory results. The experimentalist filled some bottles ful] of oil and sank them to the bottom of the harbor while a gale was blowing. Presently the oil was released, and, floating to the top of the raging bil- lows, stilled them as if by a miracle. As a consequence of this experiment, Perth that oil can be’ laid on contin- uously by pipes to the bars of all ex- posed harbors, so as to enable vessels The in- vention would be invaluable if appli- ed to the Channel passage in dirty weather. the most violent hurricanes. Day by day we are tanght that there are no bounds to the cou- quests of science over nature, and now that we can oil out the ugly wrink!es of the stormy ocean we need not de- spair of being able, sooner or latter, to wurm the North Pole with other- wise waste steam, and _ fertilize the Great Desert by artificial irrigation. —London Telegraph. ~~ Origin or “BiuaNxker.”—In_ the reign of Edward the Third there were at Bristol three brothers, who were eminent clothiers and woolen weavers, and whose family name was Blanket. They were the first persons who man- ufactured that comfortable material which has ever since been called by their name, and which was then used for peasant’s clothing. At the same period all the brewers and bakers were women; and when men first be- gan to engage in these occupations it was thought so strange that they were called men brewers and men bakers. —Scottish American Journal. An Anti-Dueling Bill. Col. Edward McGraw, a leading member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, has introduced a stringent anti-dueling bill in that bo- dy, which he will endeavor to press through. It provides the death pen- alty for any person who shalt kill an- other in a duel, or shall inflict a wound from which any person shall die within the space of six months from such wounding. Another sec tion provides that whoever shall ear- ry a challenge to fight a duel, or be present at a duel, — shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary for two years aud fined, the amounts of the fine to be fixed by the Legisla- ture. A very strong anti-dueling sentiment’seems to be developing in South Carolina. -—— PreparinGc To Die.—Hon,. Sam- uel J.

They do not seem to know that there is such a thing as harmonic and melodic praise. Memoriter draws a faithful pie- ture of the congregational part of church music, bat my remarks concern choirs ; and as he does not infringe on my rights, but seems rather inclined to run a paral- lel line, I will proceed and leave him to his task, knowing full well that he has his hands full. The first essential, good organ and same competent person to handle it, (if a large pipe organ, @ man should preside) is to select a8 many per- sons as is desired to perform the musical part of the servico. My idea is thata quartette is best ; a sextette is good; but would not advise a greater number than a double quartette. There are many reasons why a greater nuntiier cannot be used to advantage, unless they are mu- sicians, and Lam presuming that they are the choir in properly preparing them- selves by substantial help. I am speak- ing of volunteer choirs. If those who have been selected, are willing to give their time, the charch should be willing to give them the advantage of at least one musi- cian, whose daty it should be to select the music to be used; to preside over aud dictate to the organist and choir.

To sing continuously the same music, year in and year out, will destroy any choir. With these hints, I will close. My aim has been to show what choirs are and what they ought to be, at the same ttme indulging the hope that it might be prof- itable to some, and that the thoughtless might be induced to think. Iam perfectly aware that there are those whe object to choir music and pre- fer congregational singing instead ; but as previously remarked, I am only speaking of and to choirs that be and are to be, and therefore, cannot go into this subject also. No doubt but that Memoriter con- siders the congregation his especial pro- perty, so to speak, and will use them he thinks best.

Au revoir. SERENADE, -—>-—______ = For the Watchman. Congregational Singing and Choirs. as Mr. Epiror: Before dilating upon the above topics, iu separate and combined form, ‘ethically and farcically, sententious- ly and satirically, religiously and ironi- cally, critically, hypoeritically and hy per- critically, —I will quote from the utter- ances of the talented Dr. J. G. Holland on FINE CHURCU MUSIC. Il@ says: ‘*Vhe churehes are full, asa rule, where the music is excellent. This fact may not be very flattering to preach- ers, bat it is a fact; and itis quite a legit- imate question whether achurch has a right to surrender any attraction that will give it a hold on the respectful attention of the world, especially if that attraction is an elevating one, and in a direct live of religious influence. ° CONGREGATIONAL SINGING is well enough in its place aud propor- tions, but very little ef the inspiration of music or religion comes through it.” But, from the major part of past, general ex- perience, it does not seem proper to claim for choirs anything more than that they are ‘necessary evils.” In the present state of musical cultivation, in most cen- gregations, as the only alternative for choir-singing, church music is turmed over to the robust but unrefined vocalization which is called, by courtesy —‘‘congrega- tional singing.” If onc must choose be- tween the undisciplined “‘hue and cry” of a whole congregation and the better di- rected efforts of a select posse in the or- gan-left,—there can be no hesitation. Even THE ORGAN-LOFT would seem a sweet refuge from the scat- tering charge of a whole battalion of crude vocalists, male and female, of all ages and of every unmusical quality of ear and voice. Lam fully aware that this view is open to dangerous assault. I will even admit that it is indefensible from the sarcasms of that large class of persons whose fitness for musical criticism is based upon entire lack of musical endowment aud education. Individuals of that genus are indebted to nature for an omission of every faculty giving them power of cognition in musical art. It isthe unknewn world to them. They not only do not knew anything of the world itself, but are ignorant of such a world’s existence. ‘Therefore, clothed in the impenetrable mail of original musical ineapacity, strengthened by an experience destitute of any cognition of art, they will charge upon my position with the reckless indifference ot a hip- popotamus. They are pachydermatous from musical ignorance and conseqnent wusical conceit and have, therefure, noth- ing to distract them from their attacks ou it. If, however, their hides were thin- ner, they might feel a little worry as to their defences. They will say—nay.to be just to them— they will believe, that it is the mere suobb- , ishness of art to pretend that one caunot ' feel comfortable and in a godly frame of mind sander: the predigious inbar- mony of unskilled congregational - sing- ing.

And y: st as well expect one to be sancti $nbarmonious colors ‘blind: from birth. So, nus, being a plain, ights to phrase it ee eam upen his owa eiicioney of knowledge and thest ‘circumstantial 66-of dilettafiteism that puts a lover of music into such an ungodly frame of mind over a little lack of polish. King David with Solomon and the twelve apostles could not convince him that it is not the duty and privilege of SISTER 8CREECHOWL to outrage the feelings of every person ef musical sensibility in the congregation, (if she conceives herself to have the gift of music) by lifting np and “letting loose” her voice bravely, intlexibly and with de- termination in the Songs of Zion. No, it is impossible to convince, reform or “shut up” individuals of this genus. There is no foundation for argument with them. They know that there can be no such thing as Haimonicide in cougrega- tional sitiging, for they have never seen the dead bady of music to fall and be dragged, although BROTHER BOREAS has often done his utmost in that direc- tion. Neither can I quite confidently af- firm that there is no ground for their be- lief that all CHURCH CHOIRS are given to unscemly exhilitions of vanity and worldliness in the matter of anthems, soles and “what not.” That shocking little carnally-minded Miss Su- sperba Vox is not subject to a fear of Mr. Monotone Bulldoze, neither indeed can she be. She sings su outrageously well that it must be confessed, that many of the fast young men, such as Mr. Foodle Flash and Mr. Noodle Necktie, go to the chureh rather to hear her singing than to listen to the devout but somewhat dull discourse of the pastor. Tc the unregen- erate mind there might seem a remedy for thisin the preaching of better sermons. But there is a simpler, if not a better rem- ody, for clearing the sanctuary of such wicked young men, which is, to have worse music: and the pastor will only have to preach to those who are already all right. With a repertoire of six ordi- nary psalm tunes, containing no note shorter than a minum, to be rendered in the ordinary style of congreg: rational per- furmance, it is safe to say that the music would constitute no temptation to draw the “wicked young men” tochureh. Then there would be no longer any competition between the two ends of the Avenue, 50 to speak. The preaching would not suf- fer by comparison with thesivging. And all this might be accompjished very com- fortably, and without any strain—except on the part of those who were obliged to listen. But I will not push myself, as it were, into the gratuitous “post of danger, by taking up the cudgels” in defense of MISS SUPERBA VOX. She sings fine musie and sings it well in praise of God: but, in her strong love of music, she sings equally well the most tloridly beautiful music at secular affairs, therefore there is no help nor defence for her. Until she is willing to believe that the Creator must be approached only with the very plainest and simplest and least musical of music, she must be given over to purity of veice and reprobacy of mind. ‘There are well founded objections to CHOIR SINGING which I will now refer to and indicate. Every true artist, imbued with the spirit of his art, must feel the high and ennob- ling influence of sacred music, He can no more sing, play or hear fine music, of a devotional charactern-Without having his moral nature elevated and purified, than the sculptor can prodace the forms of ideal beauty witheut the love of it in his soul. It ia the mere charlatanism of art, there- fore, to give the name of Music to the fiippant, heartless lip-service of vocalists, who perform in charch choirs, in utter unconsciousness of their vocation. It is upon this contrast between the real sen- timent, and the affeetation of the art, that most of the well grounded objections to choir-sivging rests. ‘The organ-loft be- comes a flirtation gallery for giggling girls and eager young men. All devotional spirit in art and religion is exorcised by more congenial thoughts and attractive pursuits. If there isa spasm of devotion, it expends itself in a hysterical wriggle at the throne ef grace, aud the pianissimo of sentimental emotion at some daly mark- ed, solemn passage in the hymn. Between flirting maidens aud irrever- ant swains,—empty display in the execu- tion of gymnastic music--inattention to church service—ignorance ef both art and religioa—incapacity for “genuine art-sen- sation—leve of idle gabble and general incapacity, inefficieney aud lack of prop- er interest—it is not to be wondered at : ree. = ; that choirs should have fallen semewhat into disrepute.

Respectfully, MEMORITER. POLITICAL. THE BATTLE FOR PEACE. The Sectional Disturbers Alarmed, The Studied and Desperate Efforts to be Made Against the South Harmo- nizing with Garfield—The Congres- sional Appointments to be the Weap- on of Sectionalists. Col. A. K. McLure in Phila. Times. Wasuinaton, Dec. 7.—There is palpable alarm among the sectional- ists of both North and South lest sec- tional strife should be ended by the liberal sentiment of the South meeting the administration of General Garfield on commen ground to subordinate political agitation and unrest to the promotion of the harmony and prus- perity of the whole country. Some of the leading Republican politicians are greatly exercised because of the growing opinion that Garfield will be quite willing to harmonize the South with his administration by an honest and competent civil service in that section, and the final elimination of of characterless adventurers from offi- cial power in the reconstructed States. And the Republican politicians are not alone in deprecating the end of sectionalism and the mutual ag vance- ment of the material interests of both sections. There are demagogues South as well as North who would be with- out vocation or importance if section- al agition should cease. While the great mass of the people both North and South earnestly desire to get be- yond the long settled issues of the war, and while the more considerate and faithful statesmen of both sections are earnestly striving to banish the lingering shadows of civil conflict, there are empty brawlers and cunning placemen who have gained importance and profit by appealing to the pas- sions of both sections, and they are now exhausting invention and effort to precipitate the renewal of sectional dispute in Congress. THE PRESIDENT AIDS THE SECTION- ALISTS. Those who have everything to lose by harmony between the North and South, have perfected their plans to provoke a bitter sectional controversy on the congressional apportionment. It is a necessity that the South must be attacked in some way that will be likely to consolidate the Republicans with more or less earnestness in the assault, and in such a manner as will be certain to consolidate the South in resenting it. The President’s message read yesterday is regarded as an im- portant aid to the sectionalist, al- though the indifference with which the President’s reflections upon the South were received, do not promise well for his power to serve their con:- mon purpose. However men view the question of suffrage in the South, there are none so furgetful of the pain- ful record of 1876 as to excuse Presi- dent Hayes for an official complaint about either the freedom of the ballot or an honest count in the Southern States. ‘There are those who have not only rights but duties also in re- gard to the criticism ef Southern elec- tions, but the one man who must ever be silent on the subject if he would pot revive the memory of his own shame, is Rutherford B. Hayes. His consciousness of the fraud that made him President in defiance of the over- whelming majority of the American people has made him masquerade be- fore the nation in. fantastic dispute with himself, as he overthrew Pack- service, we shall have such congregation- , the same time, it will fully satisfy the re- |. ard, whose title was the same gs his own, then made conciliation the mock” ery of both sections «by his lavish ‘praise and extravagant yindication of the South, and finally confronted him- self by assaults, in and out of season, upon every phase of the South that | mi could be distorted to the prejudice of their people. “THE APPORTIONMENT FIREBRAND,° “While the revolutionary political leaders are hoping for ‘the,reviva) of they have conten hopes en the congressional as the | messure-thiat they force 2 food renrge Al whénitistehe tasiepincled Thecensun returns will be complete and ready for an offiical report’ to Congress beforé the clese of the preseut month’ and as the apportionment should be a ques tion of simple arithmetic, and as the failure to pass an apportionment this session must involve either an extra session of Congress or extra sessions of a number of State Legislatures, there should beno difficulty or delay in Congress fixing the number of Representatives and thus apportion- ing representation ; but the demagog- ues who can prosper only in turbu- lence, and have everything to lose by harmony between the North and South, will resist an apportionment ostensibly on the ground that inquiry must be made whether certain States in the South must not be diminished in their representation in Congress and in the Electoral College because of the want of freedom of suffrage for colored citizens. There is not one member of either braneh of Congress who does not know that such an in- tigation would prove vastly more in- timidation, coercion and studied fraud upon voters in the North at the late election, than could be proven in the South even with an army of reckless deputy . marshals aad eharacterless treasury and otber-yspecial. agents to manipulate negro witnesses ; but it is not the trath that agitators and dem- agogues want. They want delay; they want to pour out the falsehoods of official adventurers through the de- pendent organs of the North they want to force the Southern Senators and Representatives to resent the ir- ritating imputations upon themselves and their people, and they hope thus to defeat the appertionment this ses- sion, compel an extra session of Con- gress, and make the sectional issue the paramount question when Gen. Gar- field shall appear to assume the duties of his high office. WILL SECTIONALISTS SUCCEED ? It is noted that Congress never ex- hibited more general cordiality and good-will than were displayed yester- day when Republicans and Democrats, Northerners and Southerners, resum- ed their places side by side, after a recess that embodies a great political victory and a great defeat in its his- tory. There were none of the dregs of bitterness which so often linger af- ter party conflicts, and the predomi- nent sentiment seems to be in favor of devoting the session to legitimate business ; but none can tell how soon the whole aspect may change. The considerate men of both parties pro- pose to pass the regaldr appropriation bills, the funding bill and the appor- tionment bill. Even the. deputy mar- shals will be paid without serious op- position, although the Republicans blush when they speak of them and the Democrats would gladly see them blotted out. But the leading Suuth- ern men are here with the evident in- tention, indeed the avowed purpose, of avoiding all old Democratic pitfalls, an] they will sustain the government in all issues between the generous maintenance of the government and the party, unless the administration and its party compel Southera oppo- sition by aggressive injastice to the South. In judging whether sectional strife is to be rekindled during the present session, I think that much will depend upon the attitade thas General Garfield shall assume on the issue. It is not expected that he will declare any definite policy before his inauguration, but it is net doubted that his views and parposes will be- come known before there ean be final action on any ofthe dangerous meas- ures which may come tp; and if he shall indicate a | libe selachiianicet- of all ' /sectionalists of both sides ministration will start. with nearly or quite a solid Republican. support and with a of eee oe dially.

Construction Bonps.— We publish in this issue a cgntribution ofa considerate stockholdey on this sabject, and in connection with it an extract from the Charlotte Democrat. H will be seen that both our correspondent and the Democrat are opposed to the proposi- tion of issuing State bonds at 6 per cent. &c., to run forty years. | We think the wisest thing the State can.do is to let the bondholders take the read, and so make an end to the trouble. And yet it must be admitted that there are two sides to every question, and this one is not an exception to the rule. Some of our ootemporaries claim to see ad- Yautages tothe State in issuing new bonds and letting the debt to go over to be finally paid by the next generation. We suppose the next General Assem- bly will thoroughly canvass the subject and shape their action by sound judg- ment. : , For the Watchman. N, OC. Railroad Construction Bonds. When you owe a debt and have the money or means of paying it, do 80; and don't be tempted into using or lending it out with the hope of making more than you pay. ‘The reiteration of this truism hag been breught to my mind by seeing it stated that the State of North Carolina is about to issue her 40 years siz per cent. bonds to the holders of North Carolina Railroad Construction Bonds, the latter giving only part due coupous tv the amount of $240, or, to simplity it, receiving only, 2 per cent. premium fora forty year se Why not let the holders of a construction bond ($1000) receive 10° shares of her stock in the railroad?) This, I have no ‘ donbt, the bondholders would gladly do, us it is all the the security they have. I presume these forty years bands would yeadily bring in market to-day 30 per cent. premium, and they are certainly worth it. ‘Then, why sell them at 24 per cent, and tax our posterity for forty years at six per cent., when the debt van be paid by giving to each bondholder ef $1000 ten shares N.C. Railroad stock. Apart frou the demoralizing effects of the State’s continuing a partner in the Railroad Company, it isa poor financial operation to the State, but a first rate thing for the construg¢tion bondholders, aud death to tax- payers, But why ob- ject? Those running the State say it enust be done; and whatever party re- quires, let us all thiow up our hats and say, amen, and after all swear a “public debt is a bles-ing.” But it is said if this ig not done the State will lose control of the road. This is all bosh, fur the State has net bad it for years. If is further said, that unless thig plan is adopted the boudholders, whey they get the road, will freeze ont the private stockholders. Lecan’t see the difference : jnindividuals as stockholders JSreezing out rs } ditional tax to pay six per eeu. interest the private stockholders and the State do- ing it asa political machine. It is cer- tainly better to have it managed by per- sons owning the stack and having a4 com- mon interest, than by party management —either Democratic or Republican, Pheu ‘Jet the Legislature refuse to adypt the peer proposition, and offer the aa k in payment of our londs, This wi do away with party management in the coatrol of the road and relieve the State of taxes for 40 years. A STOQCIOLDER, The Construction Bonds, (Cuarlotte Democrat ) The preposition of the holders af what are known as the “Construction State Bonds.” (Bands issued by the State to aid the buildiag of the N. C. Railraad, and for the pay ment of which she State's stock jn that Road is responsible,) should not be accepted Ly the Legislature, even if the State Commissjgners have endorsed it. It seems that the Corstruction Bond- holders (mainly Messrs. Branch of Virgin- ia, and New York capitalists,) aak the State to redeem the Bonds ef pay held by them by issuing new six per cant State Bonds, with coupons payable for taxes, It would be unfair and pujust todo that for two reasons: The State ig pow set- tling ita old public debt at 15, 25 and 40 ¢ents on the dollar with four per cet Bonds. and it would nat be right to pat for another class of Bonds by issuing sit credjfors, not even to save the State's stock in the Railroad from: being appro- priated ty pay its lawful debt. And it wonld be unjust at present to levy anad- cent Bonds to any other class of ¥,000 fer any purpose, ‘at according t@agreement. Tr the State iasnes more sSomisfeeil ‘tmakesthecdtipons x legal teader for taxes, our State Treasurer will soon have —his vaalt full of papér coupons, and no money to pay current Stateexpenses, Then,State taxes would have to be largely increased to pay for carrying on the State govern- ment, or payment suspended by the Trea- surer. Rather than issne more Boud’s let the State’s interest in the Railroudbe taken pessession of by the Cyustruction Bondholders. ‘Fhe State hag already lost control of the Road, aud is now only a nominal stockholder, without power to exercise a controlling influence iu its nran- agement. If the Commissioners can make no bet- ter tera with the BondholMers than those recently announeed, their further services should be dispensed with. Before the Commission was appointed to inquire what terms could be made with the Con- struction Bondholders, the Bonds were dul sale at 52 to 6D cents on the dollar— now, because our Legislature seemed will- ing to make some settlement of the debt, the Bondholders demgad the face value of their Qondg, 160 cents.—The faet is, the Commission was apppoiated under the impression that the Constraetion Bonds coukd be funded at 65 cents on the dollar with a new five per cent State Bond. We do net know that the Commission fa- vors the proposition to issue new six per eent Bonds to take up the old Construc- tion Bonds, or thatany State officer ap- proves it; but we think we express the sentiment of nine-tenths of the tax-pay- ers of the State when we say that we are utterly opposed ta any such scheme being endorsed by the Legislature. a oe SYNOPSIS OF PRESIDENT KR. B. HAYES’ MESSAGE. Continued opposition to the full and free enjoy ment of the rights of citizenship, conferred upon the colored people by the recent qnendments to the constitution, still prevails in sever al of the late slave- holding States. It has, perhaps, not been manifested in the recent election to any large extent in acts of viulence or iutimi- |‘ dation. It has, however, by fraudulent practices in connection with the ballots, with the regulations as to the places and manuer of voting, aud with caynting, re- turning, and canvassing the yotes cast, been succeasful in defeating the exercise of the right preservative of all rights, the right of suffrage, which the constitution expressly confers upon our enfrauchised citizens, oo Itis the desire of the good people of the whole country that sectionalism asa factor in our polities should disappear.— They prefer that no section of the coun- try should be united in solid opposition to any other se¢tion, ‘The disposition to refuse a prompt and hearty obedience te the cqual rights amendments to the con- stitution is all that now stands in the w ay of 4 complete obliteration of se¢tional lines in our political contests. As long as either of these amendments is flagrant- ly violated or disregarded, it is safe to as- sume that the people whe placed them in the constitution, as embodying the legiti- mate results of the war for the Union, and who believe them to be wise and nec- essary, Will continue to act together, and to insist that they shall be obeyed. The paramount question still is yg to the enjoy- ment of the right of every American citi- zen, Who has the requisite qualifications, to freely cast iis vote and to have it hen- estly cyupted. With this question rightly settled, the country will be relieved of the contentions of the past; bygones will, indeed, be by gones, and political and party Psues with respect to economy and efficiency of administration, internal im- provements, the tariff, domestic taxation, education, finance, and other important subjects, will then recieve their. fall share of-attention; but resistance to and nulli- fication of the results of the war will unite together in resolute - purpose. for their support wll whe maintain the authority of the government aud the perpetuity of the Union, and who adequately appreciate the value of the vietory achieved. This de- termination proceeds from no hostile sen- timent or feeling to any part of tha people of our country, or to their interests, The inviolability of the amendments rests ipon the fundamental principles of our government. They are the solemn expres- sion of the will of the people of the Uuit- ed States. The sentiment that the constitutional tates trights af-all-our citizens: must be main- tained does not grow weaker. It will continue to control the government of the country. Happily, the history of the late election shaws that in many parts of the country where apposition to the fifteenth amendment has heretofore prevailed, it is diminishing and is Jikely to gease alto- gether if firm and well-considergd action is tykep by Congress, I trust the House of Repyesentatives and the Senate, which have the right to judge of tha eleetion returns pud qua} jfications of their own members, will sce to it that every case of violation of the letter or spirit of the fif- teenth amendment is thoroughly iuvesti-* gated, and that nq benefit from such violation shall accrue to any person or party. It will be the duty of the Execu- tiye, with saflicient appropriations for the purpose, to prosecute unsparingty all who haye been engaged in depriving gitizeps of the righté guaranteed to them by the constitution. Jt is not, however, to he forgotten that the best and surest guarantee of the pri- wary rights of citizenship is to be found in that capacity for self-protection which can befong only toa people whose right | ¥ to universal suffrage is supported by anj- versal education. The means ateommand of the Javs}-gud State aarhorities are, in Inany-cages, wholly inadequate to funrniah ig especially true shave, Vefore emancipa- ‘the old State debt i is paid don, the education of the people was neg- lected .gr prevented ip the interest of slavery. . Firmly convinged that the sub- ject of pyptlar education deserves the earnest attention of the peuple of the whole countty, with a view to wise and comprehensive action by the government of the United States, I respeetfally recom- mend that Congress, by suitable legisla- tion anu with preper safeguards, supple- ment the local edaeational fuads in the several States where the grave duties and responsibil ities af citizenshi p have devolv- a), ed upon uneducated péople, ‘by devoting: to the purpose grants of the public lands, and, if necessary, by appropriations from ti® treasary of the United States. What- ever government can fairly do te promete free popular education ought to be done. Wherever ‘general paucilion is, found, peace, virtue aud social ordgr prevail, aud civil and religious liberty are secure, In my former annual messages [ have asked the attention of Congress to the urgent necessity of a reformation of the civil service system of the government. My views concerning the dangers of pat- runage or appointments for persopal par- tisan considerations, have been strength- ened by my observation and experience in the Executive office, and I believ these dangers threaten the stability of the government, Abuses so serious in their nature cannot be perianentky tolerated. They tend to become more alarming with the enlargement of adiivistrative service, as the growth of the country iu popula- tiou increases the number of ofticers and placemen employed, I recommend an SPpEOn ton of $25,- ‘000 per annum to megt the expenses ofa commission, to be appointed by the Presi- dent in accordauce with the terms of this section, whose duty it shall be to devisea just, uniform and efficient system, of competative examinations, and to super- vise the application of the same through- out the entire civil service of the goyery- ment. . Talso recommend such legislation as, while leaving every affeer as tree as any other citizcn to express his political opin- ious and to use his means for their ad- vancement, shall also enable him to feel as safe us any private citizen in refusing all demands ypov his salary. for political purpeses. A law thus guarantee true liberty and justice to all who ¢ugage in the public service, and likewise contain stringent provisions against the use of official authority to co- erce the political action of private citizens or ef official subordinates, is greatly to be desired. Believing that to reform the system and methods of the civil service in eur coun— try is one of the highest and most imper- ative duties of Salen te, and that it can be pemanently done only by the co- operation of the legislative and executive which should conmuend the whole subject to your con- siderate attention, of the people of the United States to sup- our ‘Territories, and to prevent its exten- sion. Faithful and zealous efforts have been made by the United States authori- ties in Utah to enforce the laws against it. Experience has shown that legislation upon this subject, to be eifective, requires extensive modification and amendment. The longer action is delayed, the More difficult it will be fa accomplish what is desired, Prompt and decided measures are necessary. Our relations with all foreign countries have presented ne ecoasion for concern as to their continued maintenance. I sincerely hope that the basis may be found for a speedy adjustment of every serious divergence of views in the inter- pretation of the treaty of Washingtan, which, as the cer rrgsxpondence between the two governments stood at the close of the last session of Congress, seemed to be ir- reconcilable. There is reason to belicye that the ob- stacles which se long prevented rapid and convenient communication by railways between the United States and Mexico, are on the point of disappearing, and that several important enterprises of this character will soon be sect on foot, which cannot fail to contrilute largely to the prosperity of both countries. The eftorts of the Department of State to enlarge the trade and commerce of the United States, through the active agency of consular officers and through the dis- semmination obtajned frem them, have been unmrelaxed. The interest in these efforts, as developed in’ our commercial communities, and the value of the infor- mation secured by this means to the trade ang manufactures of the cqqntry, were recognized by Congress at its last sesyjon, and provision \ a: made for the more frequent publication of consular and oth- er reports by the Department of State. The tisst issue of this publication has naw been prepared, and subsequent is- sues may regularly be expected. The importance aad interest attached to the reports of cousntur officers are evidenced by the general demand for them by all classes of merchants and njangfacturers engaged in vur foreign trade. It is be ied that the system of such publica- tions is deseryjng of the approval of Con- gress and that the negegsary gppropria- tions for its continuance and enlarge- ment will commend itself to yeaur con- sideration. The prosperous energies of ony domes- tic industries and their immese produc- tion of the subjects of foreign commerce invite, | and eyen require, an active de- pina the wishes and intercsts of our pegple iu that direction. imparfant rd it that-our comurercial re- lations with the Atlantic and Pacitic coasts of Bonth’ America, with the West Indies oud te.

Whatever modifications of our. regulations of «trade and naviga-. tion may be necessary or neefal te meet and direct these impulses’ tothe enlarge- ment of our exchanges and of our carry- ing trade,-Lam sure the wisdom of Con- gress willbe ready ta supply.

Tho condition of the financial affairs of the governinent, as shown by the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, is very satisfactory. It is belived that the pres- ent. finaucial -situation of the United States, whether considered with respect ta trade, currency, credit, grow ning wealth, or the extent and variety of our resources, is nore favorable than that of any other’ eoautry of our time, and has never beeh surpassed by that of any couptry, ab nny period of its history, All our ipdygtries are. thriving; the rate of interest is low; new railroads ave. being constructed ; a vast immigratiqu is in- creasing | our population, capital, and labor ; new enterprises in great number are in - progress, and our commercial re- lations are improv ing.

The preservation of the nation’s existence re- quired, jn the judgment of Congress, an issue.of legal tender paper money. That jt served well the purpose for which it was evéated is not questioned, but the emp yiment of the notes as paper money indefiuitely, after the accomplishment of the object for which they were provided Was nut. contemplated by the framers of the lay under which they were jssucd. These notes long since became like any other pecuniary vbligation of the govern- ment—a debt to be paid, and, when paid to be eancetled as mere evidence of an in- debtedness no longer exjstjng. 1 there- fore repeat what was gaid ju the annual message of lust year, that the retirement from circulation of United States notes, with the capacity of legal tender in pri- vate contracts, ig a step to be taken in our progress towards a safe gnd_ stable curreney, which should be accepted as the pelicy and duty of the government and the interest and security of the peo- ple. , The two great riyers of the North Ameriean continent, the Mississippi aud thetColumbia, have their navigable wa- ters wholly within the limits of the Uni- ted States, and are of vast importance to our internal and foreign commerce.

An act of Cougress authorizing the appointment of a Captain General of the army, with a suitable provisions relating to compensa- tion, retirement and other details, would, in my judgment, be altogether fitting and proper, and w ould be warmly approved by the country. The suggestion of the Postmaster Gen- eral, that i¢ would be wise to encourage, by appropyiate legislation, the ossablish- ment of American lines of steamers by our own citizens, to carry the mails be- tween our own ports and those of Mexico, Central America, South America, and of trans- Pacitic countries, is commended to the serious consideration of Con gress. The attention. of Congress is also invit- ed to the suggestions of the Postimaster- General in regard to postal savings, The uecessity for additional provision to aid in the trausaction of the basiness of the federal courts becomes cach year more apparent. The dockets of the Su- preme Court, and of the circuit courts, in the greater nunber of the ¢irenits, are cncumbered with the constant accession of cases. In court, and in many instances in the cirenit courts, yoars the former intervene before it is practicable to bring cases to hearing. The Attorney General recommends the establishment ofan intermediate court of errors and appeals. It is recoinended that the number of jadges of the circuit court in each circuit, with the exeeption of the second cirenit, aheuid be n¢reased by the addition of another jucdze ; In the second circuit that two should be added and that an intermediate appellate court should be formed in each cireuft to con- sist of the cireuit judges and circuit jus- tice, and that in the event of the absence of either of the three judges the place of the absent judge should be supplied by the judge of one of the district c@urts in the circuit. Such an appellate court could be safely invested with large jurisdiction aud its decisions would satisfy suitors jn many cases where appeals would stills be atlowed to the Supreme Court. The ex- pense incurred for this intermediate court will require a very moderate increase of the apptopriations for the expenses of the Department ef Justice. This recommen- dationis commended te the careful consid- eration of Congress. It is evident that a delay of justice, in mauy instances oppressive and disastrous to suitors, now necessarily occurs in the federal courts, Which will in this way be remedied. The Commissioner of Agriculture ex- presses the confident belief that his ef- forts iu behalf of the production of our own sugay and tea lave been encourag- ingly yewarded. The importance of the results attained have attraction marked attentlon at home, aud have received the special consideration of foreign nations.

The Hon. Jobn Stokes lived in Rowan county—now Davie, near Richmend Mill, the residence of Richmond Pearson. He was acolonel in the Revolutionary Army, and lost his right hand in the affair of Bu- ford’s defeat in the Waxhaws. Ile had a silver cup, or “fist” made, which he. wore, and in his speeches at the bar, he would sometimes bring down this silver fist with a ringing sound, He married Elizabeth, the daughter of Richmond Pearson, and half-sister of the late Chief Justice Pearson. He had a son named Richmond Pearson Stokes, who was also alawyer. Col. Stokes was at one time United States District Judge. He died in 1801. COV. MONTFORD STOKES, was for a leng period a resident of Rowan county. He was born about 1760, and was in the Revolutionary Army, and was taken prisoner near Norfolk in 1776, and confined for several months in a prison ship. Fora number of years he was Clerk of Rowan Superior court, and Clerk of the State Sen- ate. He was elected by the General Assem- bly to the United States Senate, but declined to serve. In 1816 he was again elected Sen- ator of the United States, and served till 1823. In 1831 he was appointed by Gen. Jackson, Indian Agent in Arkansas. IIe re- moved to that State and died there in 1842. The historian of North Carolina, Col. Meore, says of him, that “few men were so popular as he, and his wit and humor were unceisiny in their flow.” Goy. Stokes re- moved trom Salisbury about 1812, and set- tled in Wilkesboro, He wase first married te Mary, the daughter of Col. Henry Irwin, who fell at the battle of Germantown. By her he had one daughter, named Adelaide, who became the wife of Henry Chambers of Rowan. Also a son named Montford 38. Stokes, who was major of the North Caro- lina Regiment in the war with Mexico. At the opening of the late war between the States, Montford S. Stokes, was colonel of the First North Carolina State Troops. Col. Stokes was killed at Ellyson’s Mill, near Richmond, June 26th, 1862. His second wife was Rachel Montgomery, the daughter of Hugh Montgomery of Salis- bury. By her he had several children: Hugh M. Stokes, David Stokes, Thoinas Jef: ferson Stokes, and several daughters. Tue Wan oF 1812-'14. In tracing the history of Rowan county, it will not be expected that we shall enter into a detail of the great public affairs ef the United States. And yet we must glance at them in order to account for events that took place in this county. The Barbary States on the North Coast of Africa, for awhile obstructed the Commerce of the this led toa war with Tripoli in) 180%, in which Commodore Preble, Lieut. Stephen ; Decatur, and Commodore Barron took a lconspicuous part, and brought the Bashaw ito make a treaty of peace, which was con- cluded in 1805. But this matter was scarce- ly settled, when a greater difficuity arose. England and France were then at war, and the United States became involved in regard {to her commerce. By “orders in council,” the English government declared all vessels conveying produce trom the United States to Europe legal prizes. Again, in 1806, England declared several European ports in a state of blockade. Napoleon by his*Ber- lin Deeree,” and “Milan Decree” forbade the introduction of Enzlish goods into any part of Europe, and confiscated the cargoes of all such vessels as should submit to be search- ed Uy the English. But England was in aced of sailors, and as many of them were supposed to be employed on Amcrican ships, she insisted upon searching the ships of the United States. In vain died America protest. The “Queen of tlic Seas” field our power in contempt, and continued to search all Amer- ican vessels by force. As the only course left, the Congress of the United States pass- el the “Embargo Act,” by which all United States tradiny vessels were prohibited from leaying their ports. This Act operatcd, not only to the disadvantage of England, but was disastrous to the shipping interests of thiscountry. All foreign commerce was de- stroyed, and the people were left to their own resources. Caffee and tea, silks, broad- cloths, ribbons, and all such commoditics, as they were in the late Con- federate States. This caused distress and murmuring, especially in New England, where most of the shipping was owned. In the mean time President Jefferson went out of office, and James Madison was inauga- rated ip 1809, Seon after Madison's inau- guration the British Minister at Washington vaye assurances that England’s “Orders in Council” would be revoked. Uponthis Mr, Madison jssued a Proclamation, April, 19 1809, that the Non-intercourse Act would be syspended after the 10th of the following Jane. This Proclamation produced great joy throughout the whol¢ country, and the wave of gladness rojled over the I:pl and reached the quict town of Salisbury. The citizens of Rowan had a general parade in Salisbury, followed by ag illumination at night. Capt. John Beard had an immense frame work, something like old-time warp- ing bars, erected in front of his louse, with candles blazing on every part of the struc- ture, Atthe foot of if wasa tuble filled with decanters and bottles centaining choice liquors, and all his friends were invited to drink to the general joy, Mr. Edward Chambers, son of the eldey Maxweil Cham- bers, made a speech to the ladies, in which he assured them that now the Embargo was raised, they would have less work to do, inasmuch as they coyld purchase goods from Europe. But all this joy was prema- ture. The good news tpl hardly reached the most distant parts of lie country before President Madison was assured that the British Minister figd ex< veded his instruc- tions, and.that the “orders in council,” would not be reyoked. And so_ the Presi- dent at once issued another proclamation countermanding the first, And so matters went on, English ships searching American vessels wherever found, with now and thén a naval battle. In the meantime two remarkable natural phenomena occurred that filled the minds of many of our people with foreboding fears. The first of these was the appoarsnce of the celebrated Comet of 18]1. Thjs Caimet was the most remarkable in’ appearance of all that have been seen in the present century. While its nacleus was only 428 miles in di- ameter, it had a tail 132 millions of milcs in earth like a sprpent, it would have wrapped United States in the Mediterreneun Seca, and length, and had it been eviled around the } has a period nee ited our hedvene niay have hei Coane ¥ C. 1572. the birth of: Moses, Amram, and Jochebed mgy have gazed at it in wander, and the ervel Bharaoh may have beheld it with terror, from the banks of the Nile. Be this as it may, many of the. peo- ened at its terrible a e, and regard- ed it as the harbiager of evil. It appeared in western sky until November. It is related that late one afternoon in November, g ter- rible explosion was heard, like a peal of thundér. But the sky was clear ca lasees: Afar this the comet was scen no more. Of come fhere was no connection between the; ion, and the disappearance of the cots; but thé common people naturally cofuiected them . thgether. On the 11th of inber another remark- able event occarted. At two o’cleck inthe mofning an earthquake occurred, that shook the house-, toppled bricks: from the chim- neys, and caused hanging furniture te sway backward and forward like a pendulum, and the water would splash out of vessels -that stood on the floor. The period of agi- tation lasted from November until April, 1812. Sometimes there would be two or three shocks ina day, and then only one every two orthree weeks. Some of the peo- ple would feel as if sea-sick, and aj! of them had awful apprebensions uf seme dreadful catastrophe impending. | Meanwhilg public affairs were drifting towards a decliration of war. The ultima- in Congress to the- Comutittee of Foreign relations, ef which John‘ C. Calhoun was chairman, This Committcée reported in fa- vor of a declaration of war. The bill to this end, was adopted by Congress, and received the signature of President Madison, in June, 1812. The plan of the war, on the part of the United States, was to seize the British Provinces in Canada. This was looked upon as an easy methed of bringing England to terms, while little was expected from the infant navy. As it turned out.the navy ot the United States made a brilliant record of heroism, while disaster after disaster characterized the land forees. But to return to Rowan county, we learn that the military spirit prevaded the whole community in 1812 and ’#8. Great volun- teecr meetings were held, and companies and regiments paraded in the streets of Salis- bury, Patriotic speeches were made, and volunteers stepped into the ranks of the re- cruiting oifcers. Barracks were erected on the eastern side of Crane Creek, on the plan- tation owned by the late Samuel Reeves, and the barracks were under the conimand of Col. James Welborn of Wilkes county. Most of the companies were sheltered in cabins erected for the purpose, but it is re- membered that Capt. Cloud's company from Stokes county preferred to live in tents. Capt. Jerry Cloud was the father of the Hon. J. M. Cloud. and died near Nortolk, in the encampment with his company, from the ravages of disease superinduced by measles. s Besides Col Wetborn, in’ command, the officers were: Capt. Ward, Lieutenant Dear- ing, and Paymaster Glenn, I suppose the proper title for the Barracks would be, a “Camp of Instruction.” Recruits of volun- teers, and enlisted men came here from all western North Carolina, from South Caro- lina and from Georgia. Here they were drilled, embodied. and sent eff to the army on the borders of Canada.” Some of them went to Sackett’s Harbor. They marched to Portsnouth in) Virginia, and went from thence in transports as near to lake Champ- lain as they could go by water. The camp remained in active operation wntil date in 1813. When news of a victory by Commo- dore Perry, or Capt. dsaac Hat. or the de- fence of Fort Meius by thé gitlant Harrison, or any other encouraging news..came, the event was duly celebrated at the Barracks, or by a feast or dunce in some ofthe paro s of thetewn., There may have been thaaks- giving services in some of the charches in the country, but Salisbury had no church, and no minister in those days. While the war was raging on the northern frontier, the Creek Indians in Georgia and Alabama took up arms against the white settlers. The celebrated Tecumsch made a visit to the Southern Indians in the spring of 1812, and excited them to resistance. The white inhabitants on the Afabama River in August, 1813, having taken refuge in’ Fort Mimmns,in the Tensaw settlement, were at- tacked by the Indians, under their chief Billy Weatherford, and out of the 300 men, women and children there assembled, only sevente*n escaped. ‘This was August d0th, 1813. In this massicre, Dr. Spruce Macoy Osborne. son of Col. Adlai Osborne, then a surgeon in the army, was killed. This unprovoked massacre aroused the whole country, and an army of 3,500 men was rais- ed, chiefly in Tennessee, anid placed under the command of General Andrew Jacason. In the mean time the militia from the Salis bury Congressional District were ordered te rendezvous in Salisbury, on the first day of January, 1814, in order to raise a regiment to march against the Creek Indians. It rain- ed and snowed all that day, but notwith- standing the weather, the militia flocked in and were sheltered for the night in the houses of the Salisbury people. On the next day they were transierred to the birracks, and th: wok of enlistment went on. Some voluntecred, others were “detached,” until a regiment wae formed, which was placed under the command of Col. Jesse A. Pearson, Gen. Joseph Graham was his superior officer in Command of the expedition. ‘To this regiment the ladies of Salisbury, headed by Mrs. Moses A. Locke, presented a handsome flag of blue silk, bordered with fringes and:ta sels of gold. In the centre, it bore the emblem of the United States, thie cagle, nrg by Wayne Evans, the son-in-law of Titrna Kridtr. Up on it also was painted a mette cam posed by Mrs. Locke, as fullows.. “Let not the rage of war obliterate honor and hananity towards the females of our stvage fee." °Tiris lag was presented to the reginent by Mr. Jalin Lewis Beard—son of Capt. John Beard in behalf of the ladies, at the old race track. The Rowan company in this regiment was con- manded by Capt. Jacob Krider of Salisbury. James Gillespie was a lieutenant, and John Faust, Ensigr, Many hearts were sag in Rowan county when this regiment marched out of Salisbury towards Alabama. But aside from the fatigues and dangers of the march, they were never in peril. While they were on thejr way to join Gen. Jackson, that intrepid chjef had m-t and annihilated the Shoe Bend of the Tallapoosa River. This was March 27th, 1814. . After this victory the submission of the Indians was complete, and our troaps had nothing to do but to turn around and march home again. Very few incidents of this expedition have been handed down. Tradition, however, relates Capt. Krider’s method of,reducing a refrac- tory and disordetly soldier. into good be- havior. He had such a soldier in his com- pany and he used ali the plans he could think of for this soldictr’s. reformation, At last. while encamped on the banks of ove of the Georgia or Alubama rivers, a new idea struck the captain. He had a forked stake driven down, near the bank of the river, and procuring a long pole, he tied the refractory soldier to one end of it by his hands and feet, something after the style of a dip net, and balapcing the pole on the stake, he caused him to be let down into the water. As this was about May, in a wacm lafitude. ’ it first seemed (o-amuse the soldier, and he ple of Rowan county were very mueh fright- | j June, 1811, and continued to blaze ‘in the, tum of the British government was referred. Creek warriors at Tohopeka, in the Horse, a close, and a treaty of - ! peace was agreed uyaon at Ghent, Dec. 24th, 1814, ratified by the same menth, and by the United States the 27th of Feb. 1845. - The: ratification-of| the treaty was telebrated ig Salisbury onthe 4th of March, 1815, by processions, speeches and by a monster. ball. The people danced all night, and at sunrise the next. morning, Mr. Hugh Horah rang the Court House bell a$ 3 signal for breaking up. At the close of the war, every thing settled down igto the peaceful routine of life. But the flame of patriotism burned brightly in the hearts of the people. Having mace sac- rifices to maintain their rights as a free peo- ple, they endeavored to keep themselves re- minded of the yalye of their heritage. Hence they celebrated two national festivals annu- ally. One of these was the 22nd of February, the birth day of Washington. The death of this eminent man occurred on the 14th of December, 1799, and tor a qnarter of a century afterwards there were many still living who had seen the “Father of his Country.” His distinguished services were not forgotten, and the people loved to do honor to his memory. It is a pity that the lapse of nearly a century has so far displac- ed his image from the memory of our pee- ple, that they have forgotten even to notice. the day. “ae The other anniversary was the Fourth of July. Upon this occasion the Declaration of Independence was read, patriotie speeches were nade, toasts were drunk, and asa mat- ter of course.the ceremonies wound up with a ball, at some spacious hall or public par- lor. From these scenes we will turn to some of another claracter, in our next chapter. ——————- ap -The catalogue of the Bingham School for the year 1830 is before us.

Report of the Commissioner af Agri- . culture. Wasuinoton, Dee. 7.—The fol- Jowing statement, contained in the re- port of the commissiouer of agricyl- ture, which was transmitted to Con- gress to-day, shows the valueof the most important of our agrieultural products during the last two years, and the yalue of exportations thereof for the same period ; Products, 1879—Rreadstuffs, anj- mal matter, &e.,$},919,954,397 ; 1880 $2,000,000,000, estimated.

To- tal, 1879, $604,156,492; 1880, $746,- 967,952. ‘Total exports of all kinds same years, 1879, $717,023,777; 1880, $823,946,353. Thisexhibit, the commissioner says, “shows ours is pre-eminently the ag- ricultural coyntry of the world, The casual reader, the most indifferent student of statistics cannot byt he struck with tle large proportion that agricultural products are shown to bear by the above figures to the total exports of thie United States, and every man of intelligence in ponder- ing the facts must stand amazed that the agricultural interests of the coun- try have not received more attention jo the Stateand national legislatures.” The commissioner devotes considera- ble space in his report to the subject of sugar culture in the United States, Referring to the experiments which have been made atthe department during the past season with the large variety of sorghum canes, the gom- missioner says thst owing to a small increase in the appropriations oyer Jast year, the work was extended du- ying the past season very profitably in verifying the results of experiments heretofore made. The juices af forty- two varieties of sorghum which were planted inthe department grounds were subjected to duily examination and analysis all through the matur- ing season and late in autumn. This ‘work served ta sustain every state- ment in relatian ta these sugar-pro- ducing plants, and affords a sure basis for estimating the profit that may be derived fram the manufacture of sugar from these varieties of cane. From the forty-two varieties of sor- ghum which were planted in the Spring, many werefound when grown te be identical, but the commissioner says that at least twenty-five varieties were grown in this country valuable for making sugar, concerving which there remains only to be determined what soil and climate is best suited to any particular variety, Jo concluding this topic he says ; Oa the whole, the experiments, al- though made under very unfayora- ble circumstances, have becn sttend- ed with so fuir a measure of success asta give assurance that, while the machinery is now in position, and an adequate amount of cane planted at the right time and cultivated in the right way, both sorghum and corn- stalks can be profitably employed in the production of sugar for market. It is hoped Congress wiil vote the funds necessary to continue these ex- periments as long as they promise to be of great value to the people,” A tabular statement accompanying the report and showing the condi- dition of this ind ustry among the peo-| ple at large is referred to by the cem- missioner. By it, he says, ‘it will be seen that very decided progress has been made during ‘the past year in the direction I had the honor to pre- pose some two years since, to-wit: the manufacture at home of all the sugar we consume, with some to spare for export. ‘Phis statement and many letters upon the subject from jnteHigent correspondents in the coyn- try justify the belief that the crap of 1884 will terminate the dependence upon foreign nations for this article of |Shrewsbury Oyster Mine) the prime necessity.” Concerning sugar -cultyre jn the Bouthern States the Comniissioner gays: “In ifs earnest efforts to pro- mote the sorghum sugar industry, as adapted to the whole country, the de- partment of agriculture does not overlogk the importance of the cane- sugar prodgetion in Louisiana and g few other Southern States to the citi- gens of thdse States and to the coun- >» poy at large. ‘The imported cane (con- __ fited at present toa few planters fur, Rerrick Dodd tn the San Francisco Post. so I said at once: propagation and ex perimeat) when | widely disseminated will add largely cess reported “by our correspondents as attending the growth of sorghum in Louisiana and Texas, and the de- monstration that two crops a year of this species of cane can readily be grown and warked up before frost in all the extreme Southern States, war- rants the belief that the sugar plant- ers of that region will ere long find it to their advantage to substitute in part, if not altagether, the cnltiyation of sorghum for that of the ribon cane. Such a’ change is made the more probable by the fact that from one- sixth to one-third of the sugar lands of the Southern States has to be given up annually to the production of seed cane, whereas the whole could be devoted to sorghum, which pro- duces its own seed, and yields a full crop sugar besides ; and further, that ribbon cane, from the time required for ripening, is frequently overtaken by frost, whereas two crops of sor- ghum canbe grown there during the game time without danger af being overtaken,” Legal Advertising, How oftendo we hear the ex- pression, ‘What! sych anq sych land sold for saand so! Why, what a sac- rifice! It’s a mere song—I would have given twice that sum myself.’ ‘Well, why didn’t yon go and bid? Tt was sold at public auction, after being advertised at the caurt house door and three other public places, as the law directs.’ ‘Why, because I knew nothing about it—I don’t read all the written notices I see stuck about.’ This tells the story and shows a defective law. These legal natices of sales out, by law, to be published in a county newspaper, to prevent sacrifice of property, and this as much for the debtor as the creditor class. If the sale dosen’t bring enough to pay the debt, the debtor’s property is gone witha balance still on joint lein. And this will inevitably be the case unless the sale be known and bidders be present.—Tarboro, South- ener’. Ss $s All Night in a Well, In the vacant lot adjoining that on which stands the office of the News & Observer, is an old well nearly forty- five fect in depth. A slight wooden cover fits over its top, but this is easily moved to one side, and a “nie opening fur an enterprising man” is afforded. Yesterday morning, about 8 o’clock, some of the employees of this office heard cries and groans, and these were presently found to come from this well. The police were noti- fied and Maj. Heart was at the scene. promptly, with some street labor- ers. Rigging up a windlass, they, after some effort and amid much ex- citement, drew to the surface the un- fortunate party whose groans had been heard. He was found to be J. P. Deaton, white, of Osgood, Moore county, and he was nearly speechless fram pain, fright and cold. He was taken to a physician at once, and it was found that his left leg was broken just below the knee and that his right fogt was dislocated. The only other injuries were sonje bruises and scratch- es. He was then taken to the Osborn House and is now there, well cared for. It is thought that Deaton was under the influence of liquor when he fell in the well, the cover of which was pushed aside. Qn his person was found $30. It was first said that he had been robbed ofalargesum and then thrown in the well, byt this is con- sidered purely sensational. His fall in the well was broken by 3 pump stock and some rybbish, ta which he was able to cling, and thus kept aboye some four feet of water. By his statement he fell in the well about 10 o’cloek the night before.i—News & Observer. - a epee The Very Lattest from Londodn. eee While I was chatting with the Duke of Shrewsbyry (owner of the Queen slipped up behind and put her hands over my eyes. “Guess who it is,” said the Duke.

I climb the windin ller i So often trod ieee ory star, And take the old familiar chair Ah me! by right no more, , But proffered now with courteous care— My place in days of yore, I scan the faces of the choir In vain; with-sadened heart I search the tattered “Sacred Lyre” And find the solo part, She sang with almost heavenly fire . Devotion, wed with art, Unconsciously, I turn my face As if again to see, That fair form in the olden place She used so soft to be, Amid the various “means of grace”— Sweetest evangel, she. \ The parson from pulpit high Expounds the Holy Words; The organ pours farth heymouy By me almost un aed ae a sic it ier’s or Grow faint, whilelike Bird, A voice all tender doth rise With low, delicious tones ; Accordant thrills ny heart ; surprise And joy o’erwhelm its means, And, dimming with glad tears my eyes Its old allegiance owns, As now her presence near I feel, The air with perfumes rare Is filled, that round me subtly steal, As waifed from her hair; And I with passionate appeal, Would clasp the vision fair.

RPO EP PES SIS Oa PT COMMUNICATED. For the ‘“‘Watchman.” Instrument] Music in Church was to have been the burden of this com- munication ; but siuce then, it has seem- ed to me as out of my provinee to offer gratuitous advice in this matter: And the more especially so,—from being well aware of the fact—that FREE ADVICE is never taken or acted on; for it posses- ses the striking and very singular nature of invariably “goiug im at one ear and out of the other.” And yet the disposition to give free, unsought advice, is so universal that—with the exception of those who sell advice—none are wholly-exempt from the But as I never, knowingly, for- f-it my word, I will redeem it in this in- gs itcs “by furnishing a substitute’—an attempt at humor. I bold that LAUGHTER,— | not tlie silly simper, the eonceited giggle nor the milicious cackle— but the hearty, uncontrollable rears and screams that shake up one’s whole being, from ‘centre to circumference,” ranks next to music as a crusher of ‘care and evil thoughts. Tu this theory Iam well supported: for the great Carlyle says: “The man whocan- not laugh is enly fit for treason, strata- gems aud spoils; and his whole life is only a treason and astratagem.” As Ser- enade and I, conjointly, have sufficiently abused, laughed at and admonished choirs and congregations in the matters of music —TI now call special attention to THE CHOIR LEADER, who being soprang, is necessarily of the feminine gender; and who bears the same relation to a choir that the first E cornet player dees to a brass band or the first violin player to an orchestra, and with- out whom the remainder would be “void” though possessed of ‘‘form.” For ‘‘melo- dy is the essence of music,” while har- mony can only be viewed as a very de- sirable and important accessary. There- fore, in treating the case of such an im- portant factor, a careful diagnosis is in- dispensible; because with a clear view and successful treatment of her case, it is pretty certain that everthing else ‘will be lovely.” I maka no pretence of originality in the tollowing ‘‘pen-pictures” of the several kinds of sopranos, but merely transcribe, from memory, the observations of a ‘‘par- ticular friend” of mine in New York. He Biys: THE IDEAL, MODEL SOPRANO isa raraavis who conscientiously leads the congregation in the worship of God; attends to prayers and sermon like any other mortal: is prompt and faithful in attending service and rehearsals; aud, while she is firm and duly self-apprecia- tive, is neither arrogaut nor capricious: The Sopranos have much to try their tem- pers, and usually make matters even by sorely trying others. ‘This one never re- sents anything! THE REAL MODEL SOPRANO is pretty and amiable. She dresses in charm- ing style, outshines all in hair arrange- ment aud wears the most cunning little bonnet of auy inchurch. She knows how to use her eyes well, whether black, blue or hazel. She is fend of music aud has preferences, but never urges them with obstinacy, though the carefal observer will notice that she generally has them gratified, And why? Because she is such a charming little ceaxer, and the choir director, being human, has a soft spot in his heart. Moreover, she wins the organist’s heart by pretending to dote on the music he eompeses for her. When he gets cross, she looks up in his eyes, monster not to do precisely as the sweet rae and he is vanquished, and feels himself al songster desires. When not engaged in these tricks, she flirts a little with the tenor, The alto never thinks much’ of the soprano. Once in a while this “‘mo4d- el” makes a mistake, bat she acknowl- edges it so readily, that she is excused at hitherto only escorted her to the door, comes a few times into thechoir with her. She don’t care much for him—of course not! She never intends to mary. Ob! no. She likes an independent life too well! After a while, the young man becomes more regular in his attendance; and be- ing a stranger in the choir good manners embarrassed. Her peat little muff is on her lap the whilepit is very handy you know! ; At this dangerous stage of affairs, the director, if prudent, begins to look for an- other soprano. So when this “model” ae sakes her positien, ayd becomes , he Is prepared for the event. THE GIGGLING SAPRANO is very young, and spends most of her time in laughing. To make a blunder in her singing, fills her with irrepressible mirth. Very often during a pause in the services, the congregation is startled by an audible titter, which is easily traced to the giggling Soprano. THE GRIM SOPRANO, is a lady who dresses with great primvess in very depressing colors. She helds her- selfuloof from the rest of the singers and casts a gloom over the whole choir. She usually sings right well, but will neither resign, die nor get married. Every one says “she is very much of a lady,” but nobody enjoys her company. THE EXPERIENCED SOPRANO, is a terror and a scourge. She has suag in “ever so many” churches for, lo! these many years. The first condition to her acceptance of a position is—to “have her own way.” her performances, and views the other singers with mingled disdain and compas- sion, Her voice is sharp, wiry and a trifle cracked, but she evidently thinks herself to be in the plenitude of her vocal pow- ers, and, in every way, superior to her vo- cal companions. In technical ability she really is; and also in pretension and med- dling. THE IMPUDENT SOPRANO. This creature usually sings with vigorous energy and often with good taste, and is popular with the congregation. In the choir, however, she is a besom of destruc- tion. To be associated with her there, is to be tied up iu a coffee bag with a scorp- ion. She knows—in her own opinien— and organist combined. She wants to sing all the solos, and is bitter towards any other singer who attempts one. As to other Sopranos,—and altos as well,-- -she is pitiless. She never says a kind word of any vocal sister. She refuses to sing the music selected by the director; and if he insists, she declares he is no gentle- man.” Then she runs with a garbled story to the minister or music committee, and assumes the airs of injured innocence generally. Sheis gencraily spoken of by choir members as “A Tartar,” which is an :spersion upon a remote and,—com- paratively, inoffensive people in Asia. She effects great intimacy with the clergy - man and his family. By her constant ef- forts at predominance iv the choir, she acquires a masculine style of behavior, which she imagines to be dignitied inde- pendence. She thinks the otber singers are intended, by Providence, as mere ac- companists te her own singing, and is vehemently opposed to any music not cal- culated to show off her ability exclusive- ly. She is, altogether, a mysterious dis- pensation of Providence, like house-flies, hydrophobia and small pox. THE WORTHY SOPRANO is the educated christian lady who adds to her correct deportment, urbane man- ners and refined taste—real ability and skill in music. Such a vocalist a chureh is loth to lose; and when a soprano re- tains her position for years, it is an assur- ance that she is one of this noble class of women. ‘To such it is desecration to ap- ply even the name of ‘riodel soprano.” She is far superior to such atitle. Her value is higher than rubies,—above price.” Iam done, My only design in “putting up” these three articles has been to amuse, enlighten, stir-up aud spur-up; andl am always ready to ‘“‘do so some more.” Respectfully, MEMORITER.

Here are precious ores hoarded in the , Womb of earth. Here are, all around, medicinal plants and gums exuding from trees for the cure of these “ills to which flesh is heir.” With allthat is beautiful, all that is useful spread around in prodigal abund- and by a beneficient God, net all, nor jany of this abundance is designed for | the outer world, for any other race, save asitis received from the hands of the Negro. Many of the race in exile have, in bit- ter moments of sore oppression, cried out, “Too hard to bear! Too hard to bear!” and believed themselves the most unfortuuate of nen, looking for no haven of rest, vo vine and fig tree this side of heaven. When they were despondent they knew not there was a reserve for them, a land guarded from their enemy by malignant fevers and diseases which kill him and others, but iu which the Neogre alone can safely live and flourish. Aud beyoud this protective belt which surrounds Africa, certainly which guard: Western Africa, are found the flower of womabphood and the pride of our man- hood—the intelligent and stalwart Mand- ingo who accepts Islam, a guarantee of j liberty and equal ty to the cat ve here | and hereafter, protects fropa draukenness the schollarly Foulah, the energetic Seraculie, and the shrewd and diplomat- ic Soosoo, and those of other tribes po ‘less in nobility of blood and virtues. The responsibility is with the Africo- Liberian to have perfect amity between himself and his heathen brother by the exercise of the largest charity for his faults, that Christianity and civilization may displace superstition and heathen- ism; a responsibility that assinsilation by marriage shall begin and continue; are- sponsibility that shall induce the Africo- Liberian and his friends abroad to pre- seut faithfully and honestly to the Negro in exile the condition of Liberia, and to discourage the coming of emizrants, how- ever anxious they may be to come, who cannot willipgly, froma conviction of duty to the race in Africa, sacrifice com- fortable homes, and the now enjoyed in the United States.

This land must be songht with a purpose never to look back and a desire that when death comes their dust shall mingle with that of the fatherland. This land must not be sought witha hope that your richest products of learning and rarest skill of labor possessed, will be able, however exerted, to accomplish the work of civilizing and evangelizing our broth- ers, but witha determivation to throw the bread of effort on the waters to be seen and gathered in the future, because racial allegiance cannot be thrown off but with the sacvifice of self-respect and of manhood.

But some of | the Southern States-have a bad repu-: tation,.and .Mr. Hayes insists that is what stands in the way of an ob- literation of sectional lines in our political contests; but we know that political abuses are not confined to the South, and we do not believe that the means which the President pro- poses will work a permanent cure. The President is evidentiy in favor of denying to both Senators and Repre- sentatives the seats to which they are presuined to have been elected by im- proper practices, and he pledges him- self to “prosecute unsparingly” all persons who have been engaged in depriving citizens of the rights guar- teed to them by the Constitution. But the election laws are themselves defective. They are not so framed as to ensure fair elections. And with a large body of members of the Repub- lican party no election unfavorable to that party is likely to be regarded as fair. For such abuses as_ exist the cure will not be found in harsh leg- islation and wholesale persecutions.— Charleston News & Courier, Dem, The United States asa Mediator Between Chili and Peru, PaNnAMA, Noveml er 28.— Tlie last steam- er fromthe South brings a full report from Peruvian sources of the proceed- ings of the peace conference at Arica, Three sessions were held, all on board of | the United States steamer Lackawanna, on the 22d, 25th, and 27th of October. The first was occupied in the work of or- ganization, exchanging credentials, ar- ranging the method of procedure, and also in receiving a formal statement of the demands advanced by the Chilian government as the necessary conditions, not only for the restoration of peace, but for the continuance of the conference. The second and third sessions were taken up in discussing those conditions which, rejected by the representatives of the Peru and Bolivia conference, ended Without a satisfactory result, Hon. Thos. A. Osborn, United States Minister to Chili, presided throughout.

Some oue rushed to her rescne, hastily assisted her to di- vest herself of her wrapper, firmly grasp- ing the mouth of the pocket to prevent the escape of the dangerous animal. The garment was then turned over to the man of the bouse, and he, armed with a club, proceeded to the back yard to dispatch the offender. The pocket was opened gradually, but no mouse appeared. Fi- nally, gaining courage, he veutured to in- yestigate, and fourd the cause of all the excitement to be a pocket tape-measure, from which the spring had become de- tached and had unwound with a whirr.— Newburyport (Mass.)

Vicksburg is in the centre of the cotton belt, and has rail and water communicatiow with the rest of the world.

In both houses of Congress the more important subjects have been compelled to yield to questions that areuse party autagonism and j rovoke | endless debate. On Monday Senator Randotph brought up the Fitz John Porter Lill in the Sen- ate, and Senator Morgan’s conenrrent re- solution for couyting the electoral vote has been the fruitful theme of talk in the House. Later in the week the cdugation and the pension bills were discussed, and an adjournment from the L2nd inst. to the 4th preximo was agreed upon, Bur, if it has been dull at the Capital in the legislative Lranches, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the lobby, and society, have furnished an abundance of the raw material frgym which news istmade.

The early settlers were slave- holders, and on the register’s volumes, you will find here and there a “Bill of Sale” for a negro slave, and in the volumes of Wills you will see how the fathers of the early days bequeathed the negro man Pompey, or Cesar, or.Ned or Joe, to one son, and Scipio or Hannibal, or Cato, or Adam to another son, while their daughters received bequests of negro girls and women, by the names of Bet and Sal, Luce and Dinah. The ques- tion may sometimes have been raised in their minds whether it was right to hold men and women in’perpetual slavery; but when they opened their Bibles and read how Abraham bought slaves and had slaves born in his house; and hew Moses, by di- vine direction, provided for the release and redemption ot Hebrew slaves, but left no provision for the release of the slave of for- eign birth but allowed him te be bought and sold at the will of their masters; and when they read how slavery was recognized by Christ and his Apostles, their doubts as to the richtfulness of the ystitution in the sight of God vanished. They did not feel themselves responsible for its introduction among them. That had been accomplish- eda hundred years and more before their time, when the Dutch sold slaves to the Virginians at Jamestown in 1620, or when citizensof Massachusetts, in 1636, built a Slave ship at Marblehead and sent it to Af- I band, indreadof alikeinserntable dispen- sation of fate, resolved, in defiance of the ‘snow storm, to serenade shia amiable, oe ay E brillient lady—and sweet songster at Hid “This exeehent ) pyce, Jest she should elude them again, under the management of Mr.’ by unexpectedly flying Seuth. its Spring, And just as a funeral in a snow storm ¢ tal . » ‘ » .

Bancroft relates that the representatives of the people ordered the 'negroes to be restored to their native land, ‘and imposed a fine twice the price of a ne- gro upon any one who should, hold any “black mankind” to perpetual service. He |however ingeniously adivits that the law was not enforced and that there was a dispo- jsition in the people of the colony to buy negroes and hold them as slaves forever. | (Hist. U. S. Vol. 1. chap. 5.) Stephens, in ‘his Histery, states that many of the most | prominent men of the Colony of Massachu |setts purchased slaves out of the first cargo |broneht from Africa in 1633, in the Marble- | head slaveship, “Desire.” As population drifted into North Caro lina, slavery came along with it from) Vir- einia, from Pennsylvania, and from the more Northern Sta e. And when, in time. it was diseovered that slavery was an unprofitable institution in the bleaker regians of New Eneland, and the moral sentiments of the people began to recoznize it as unlawful as | well as unprofitable, many of the slaves were cold off to more genial lattitudes. The mild climate. the fertile soil, and the uareclaimed wildernesses of North Carolina furnished an inviting field for the employment of slave abor. And in general, just as fast as the early settlers accumulated enough money to purchase a slave, it Was expended in that way. This was peculiarly the case with the English and Scotch-Trish sett’es, and the immigrants from Virginia, but not so preva- lent among the German settlers, though many of them aiso followed the same = prac- tiee. Asstated before the records of the early days of Rowan shows the presence of slaves in the county. At the first census in 1799, there were 1,839 negroes in the county, including the territory now en beaced in Davidson and Davie, as well as Zowan, In 1809 there were 2874 negrocs In 1839 the number had increased to 6,524 aration of Davigand Davidson coun- ties reduced the number to 3453 in 1840. and it rose to 4.065 in 1860. In the last fowan bwas 10528, or about 2b whites to cach ne gro. D> ; ee » The character of Rowan county siavers “Never marry bat for Jove, but see that thon lovest what is lovely.” was ecnerally mild and paternal. Ona few iplantations probably, where a considerable number ef slaves were quartered, and it was ‘necessary to employ an overseer, there was severity of discipline, and hard labor, For i the overseer himself was a hireling, and it Iwas important for his popularity that he should make as many barrels of corn and as many bales of cotton as possible with the Heast outlay of money and provisions. But leyen then the overtasked or underted slave {had access to his master, either directly, 01 ithrough the young masters and niistresses, lwho felt a personal interest inthe slave, and weuld raise such a storm about the ears ol a cruel overseer as would effectually secure ‘his dismissal trom his post. The stave rep lresented so much money, and aside from considerations ef humanity, the pradent and leeonomieal owner could not afford to have ‘his stare naltreated and his value impvired, iThere was of course room for abuse in ail this, and there were heartless and tyrannica! masters, and there were oppressed and. suf- \fering slaves, just as there is tyranny and Lonpression in every form of social existence, vin this fallen and rained world. | But with many families, where there were onty a few slaves, the evils of servitude wer lreduced to a minimum, The slave was a> }warmly clothed, as securely shieitered and vas bauntifully fed as his master. He work led in the same field, and at the same kind lof work, and the same number ef hours. | sometimes the clothing was coarser and the fod not so delicate, but of en the clothing was from the same loom and the food from 'the same pot. Phe negro fad his holidays ‘too, his Fourth of July, his Christmas and ‘his General Muster eala day. And where ithe family altar was established, evening land morning the negroes, old and young, brought in their chairs and formed a large leircle around the capacious hearth ef tie | hall reom, while the father and master pricst }op:ned the big: family Bible, and read the iwords of life from its sacred pages, And when the mofning and evening hymn was isunyg, the negroes, with their musical voices |joined in-and sang the “parc eHed lines” to Ithe tune of Windham or Sessions, Ninety They worshipped lin the same chur h with their masters, com- fortably seated in galleries constructed for their use, and when the Lord’s supper was administered, they came forward and sat at the same tables where their masters had sat, land drank the sacred wine from the same | cups. | in all this weare not affirming that there was social equality, or that the slave was always contented with his lot in life. No doubt he often chafed under the yoke of bondage, and sometimes when his master dealt hiirdly with him he ran away,and hid in thesswamps and thickets, sustaining lite by stealing, or by the aid ct his fellow ser vants, Who sympathized wit him and who faithfully kept his secret from his master Our week y newspapers used to have pic- tures of fugitive negroes, with a stick over their shoulders, and witha bundle swingir g to it, and the startling heading In large cap- itals "RANAWAY.” Something after this style. \ And many a time the white children oa their way to or from school, would al- most hold their breath as they passed some dark swamp or deserted house, when they remembered that a RUNAWAY had been scen in the neighborhood. Generally the runa- way got tired of lying out ina few weeks, especially if winter was near, and voluntari- suffered by them. oAWhen theedge ofthe town the fife and drum ceased, Av the th ter got in debt, or whied the owner.died and his estate was sold at vendue, or if the heart- leas mastér chose, the negro husband and wife might be separated, or parent and child might be sold from each other, ene party falling into the hands of a negro trader,and carried off to Alabama or Mississippi. Sach cases occurred at intervals, and under the laws there was no help for.it. But in all such cases the feclings of the humane and christian elements of the community werc shocked. Generally. however, arrangements were made to purchase, and keep in the neighborhood, all deserving negroes. As sales would come on it was the habit of the negroes te go to some man able te buy them and secure their transfer toa desirable home. Sometimes, however, all this failed and the “negro trader” having the longest purse would buy and carry off to the west hus- bands or wives, or children against their will. Older citizens remember the gangs of slaves that once marched through dur streets with a hand of each fastened to a long chain, in double file, sometimes with sorrowful look, and sometimes With a mockery of gay- ety. The house of the Trader was perhaps, a comfortable mansion, in some shady square of town. Near the centre of the square, and embowered in trees and vines was his “bar- racoon,” or prison forthe unwilling. There a dozen or two were carefully locked up and guarded. Othercabins on thelot contained those who were submissiveand willing to go. On the day of departure for the west the trader would have a grand jollitication. A band, or at least a dram and fife weuld be called into requisition, and perhaps a little rum be judiciously distributed to heighten the spirits of his sable property, and the neighbors would gather in to see the de- par.ure. First of all one or two closcly cov- efed wagons, would file out froni the “bar- racoon,” containing the rebeliious and un- willing, in hand-cuffs and chains. After them the rest, dressed in comfortable attire, perhaps dancing, and laughing, as if they were going on some holiday excursion, At the pageant filed away, and the curious crowd, who had come to witness the scene returacd to their homes. After months had rolled away the ‘Trader's’ wagons came back irom Montgomery or Memphis, Mobile or New Orleans, loaded with luxuries for his family. In boxes and bundles, in kegs and. easikets. there were silks and laces, watches and jewelry, ribbons and feathers, candies and tropical fruits, wines and cor- dials, for family use and luxurious indul- conc, all the profits ef an accursed trafic in human flesh and blood, human tears and helpless anguish and oppression. This was the horrible and abominable side of this form of social institutions. It was evil, wretchedly evil. Bat it had and has its counterpart, in the social evils of the poorer classes of all aves amd alllands, Muttitudes to-diy, by inexarabe necessity, by poverts and the demands for certain kinds ef ser- vice, are as hopelessly enslaved by circam- stances as these were by law. This is not alleged as an excuse or apology fora crying evil, hut only as an intimation that he who is without sin may consistently throw stones at the vanished spectre of African slavery in the Southern States. And glad are we that the spectre has vanished from our fair land, : ems « For the Watebman, ur 1 eo rsNy Cc ily adkin Railroad.

Oa Hily,” as the Chinese lady calls g the cultivation of the.above in the istand of Ceylon, were in Mr. H. B. Brady’s recent tildress” before the British , Pharma-. eétitieal Conference at Swansea: é “The “vanilla plant is trained one|poorest— notably the poor sewing poles placed about twelve or eighteen inehes apart—one plauter has a line of plants about three miles in length. Like the cardamom, it yields fruit after three years, and then continues prodacing its pods for an indefinite period. ° The cinnamon (Cinnamomum zey- danicum).is, 23 its'name indicates, a native’of Ceylon. It is cultivated on a light sandy soil about three miles froin the sea, on the southwest coast of the island, from Negumbo to Ma- tara. In its cultivated state it be- comes really productive after the sixth year, and continues from forty to sixty years. The superintendent of the largest estate in this neighbor- hood stated that there were not less than fifteen varieties of cinnamon, safficiently distinct in flavor to be easily recognized. The production of the best so injures the plants that it does not pay to cut this at any price under 4s. 6d. to 5s. per Ib. The estate alluded to above yields from 30,000 to 40,000 fb. per annum; a uniform rate of 4}d. per tb. of finished bark is paid for labor. Cinvamon oil is produced from this by distillation ; the mode is very primitive and waste- ful. About 40 tb. of bark, previously macerated in water, from one charge for the still, which is heated over a fire made of the spent bark of a pre- vious distillation. Each charge of bark yields about three ounces of oil and two charges are worked daily in each still. The cultivation of the cocoanut tree and the production of the valuable cocoanut oil are two important Cin- galese occupations. These trees, it appears, do not grow with any luxu- riance at a distance from human dwellings, a fact which may perhaps be accounted for by the benefit they derive from the smoke inseperable from the fires in human habitations. The cultivation of cecoanuts would seem tobe decidedly profitable, as some 4,000 nuts per year are yielded by each acre, the selling price being £3 per thousand, while the cost of cultivation is about £2 peracre. In extracting the oil, the white pulp is removed and dried, roughly powder- ed, and pressed in similar machinery to the linseed oil crushing mills of this country. The dried pulp yields about 60 per cent by weight of lim- pid, colorless oil, which in our cli- mate forms the white mass so well known in pharmacy. Chinese Women’s Feet. An American missionary, Miss Norwood,’ of Swatow, recently de- scribed in a Times paragraph how the size of the foot is reduced in. Chinese women. The binding of the feet is not begun till the child has learnt to walk. The banages are specially manufactured, and are about two inebes wide and two yards long for the first year, five yards long for subsequent years. ‘The end of the strip is laid on the inside of the foot at’ the instep, then carried over. the tees, onder the foot, and round the heel, the toes being thus drawn to- ward aad over the sole, while a bulge is produced on the instep, and a deep indentation in the sole. Successive layers of bandages are used till the strip is all used, and the end is then sewn tightly down. The foot is so squeezed upward that in walk- ing, only the ball of the great toe touches the gound. After a month the foot is put in hot water to soak some time ; then the bandage is care- fully unwound, much dead cuticle coming off with it. Frequently, too, one or twotoes may even drop off, in which case the woman feels afterward repaid by having smaller and more delicate feet. Each time the bandage is taken off, the foot is kneaded to maké the joint more flexible, and is then bound up again as quickly as possible with a fresh bandage, which ie drawn up more tightly. During the first year the pain is so tense that the sufferer can do nothing, and for about two years the foot aches continually and is the seat of a pain which is like the pricking of sharp needles. With eon-! tinued rigorous binding the foot-in two years becomes dead and ceases to athe, and the whole leg, from the knee downward, becomes shrunk, so asito .be little more than skin and ilies, i n rh} f 0 cover its original sha ae aae Ss “It is an -error to suppose, as many | do,-that itis only the Upper Ten antong fhe daughters of China that indalge inthe luxury of “golden lies,” "as it is extremely common ‘among every:class, even. to the very women one sees in every Chiense city and town, who can barely manage to hebble from house to house seeking work. The pain endured while under the operation is so severe and con- tinuous that the poor girls never sleep for long periods without the aid.of strong ‘narcotics, and then only but fitfully; and it is from this con- stant suffering that the peculiar sullen or stolid look so often see on the woman’s face is derived. The origin of this custom is involved in mystery to the Westerns. Some. say that the strong-minded among the ladies want- ed to interfere in politics, and that there is a general liking for visiting, chattering, and gassip (and China women can chatter and gossip), both and all of which inclinations their lords desired, and desire, to’ stop by crippling them. Remarkable Eruption of Mauna Loa. Late advices from the Sandwich Islands describe the eruption of Mauna Loa, which began November 5, as one of the granndest ever witnessed. The opening was about six miles from the summit of the mountain, and already two great streams of lava had been poured out; one of them, from one to two yards wide and twenty feet deep, and reached a distance of thirty miles. Terrible ex- plosions accompany the flow of the lava stream, which for a time threat- ened the town of Hilo; at ports the flow seemed to be turning in another direction. Mauna Loa, “long or high = moun- tain,” occupies a large portion of tlie central and southern part of the is- land of Hawaii, and reaches an ele- vation of 13,760 feet. It has bees) built up by lavas thrown out ina highly fluid state, and. flowing long distances before covling ; + as a conse- quence the slopes of the mountain are very gentle, averaging, according to Prof. Dana, not more than six and a half degrees. Its craters are numer- ous, and usually occur near the sum- mit and en the sides, new ones open- ing frequently, and furnishing, as in the latest instance, magnificent lava streams. The terminal crater is cir- cular, 8,000 feet in diameter, and in 1864 was about 1,000 feet deep. In 1859 an enormous lava fountain spouted from this crater for four or five days, throwing a column of white hot fluid Java about 200 feet in diameter to the height of two or tbree hundred feet. The lava stream ran 50 miles to the sea in eight days. Other great eruptions have occurred in 1832, 1840, 1843, 1852, 1855, 1868 and 1873. The lava streams poured out in 1840, 1859, and 1868, flowed to the sea, adding considerably to the area of the island. Those of 1843 and 1855 are estimated to have poured out respectively 17,000,000,000 and 38,000,000,000 cubic feet of lava. In 1868 the lava stream forced its way under ground a distance of twenty miles, and burst forth from a fissure two miles long, throwing up enor- mous columns of crimson lava and red hot rock to the height of five or six hundred feet. . On the eastern part of Mauna Loa, 16 miles from the summit crater, is Kilauea, the igrgest continuously active crater in the world. It is eight miles in circumference, and 1,000 feet deep. Its eruptions are generally independent of those of Mauna Loa, —_———_——————e Telegraph Wires Underground. ast re- Philadelphia newspapers report that the American Union Telegraph Company are about to try in that city the experiment of putting their wires underground. The plan works well enough in European cities, and there would seem to be no reason why it should not succeed here, save the indisposition of the companies to bear the first cost of making the change. For some months the Weston Union Telegraph Company has had the mat- ter under consideration, but will probably -rait until pressed by a rival company before it uudertakes the more serious task of taking down its forest of poles and sinking the wires which contribute so «mach to the prevailing ugiliness of our streets, Sooner or later the poles and wires must comes down ; and it is altogeth- bene,” When once formed, the “gold- er probable that the change will be 1.

L., who died of diphtheria on Sunday morning, were vesterday performed in his native place, Middietun, Conn. Dr. Sanford was only 36 years old, but he had attained an eminent posi- tion in his profession. All the peo- ple of Greenpvint seem to mourn his loss, especially as he lost his life in trying to save tbat of a patient. Two weeks ago Dr. Sanford was called to the bedside of a child who was suffer- ing with diphtheria. _ It was a very malignant case, and Dr. Sanford watched the child day and nigbt. At last the air passages were filled up, rand the child would have been chok- ed to death had not Dr. Sanford, who had his knife in hand, immediatély made an opening in the windpipe, through whih, witch a small rubber tube, he drew out with his own mouth, the poisonous fluid. He prolonged the life of the child for several hours by the operation, but sacrificed his own life. “This way of conducting such an opperation is regarded by all surgeons as extremely hazardous to the operator. Three French surgeons are known to have lost their lives in the same way. Young Dr. Hutchin- son, the son of a distinguished sur. geon of Brooklyn, was the only Amer- ican victim, as far as known, prior to the case of Dr. Sanford. A short time after the operation the poison which had inoculated Dr. San- ford’s blood began to doits work. As soon as it was known that he was suffering from diphtheria, all the allo- pathic doctors in Greenpoint cffered their services. Two or three were with him continually. The patient had always been very delicate, and this was against him. If by strong rnourishment he could be kept alive for a certain number of days, it was known that the crisis would be pass- ed,and he would recover. Frozen beef blood was introduced into his stomach, and brandy was injected un- der the skin. When the patient was able to swallow anything at all he was given ice cold champagne. Food in the most condensed form was intro- duced by every possible means. But nothing could save him, and he final- ly said ina whisper: “It’s no use, gentlemen ; I’ve got to go.” He died of asthenia, or general weakness, and did not live long enough tu reach that stage of the disease in which a surgi- cal operation becomes necessary. Father of Forty-One Children. “Yes, it’s so,” said the man. . “Oh, John, you must be mistaken,” replied his third wife. “Well, I tell you it’s so, I ought to know,” was the emphatic reply of Jolin Heffuer, who lives on Maple street, betwen Chesnut and Spruce, this city. A reporter for the Lagle had called upon Mr. Heffner to Jearn the correct history of his much talked about great brood of forty-one chil- dren. Heffner is sparingly built, smokes a short pipe andemakes a living in the rag business. He is sixty-five ycars old, and has a pleasant smile and cheerful greeting for all friends. The story of the man’s married life, as re- lated by himself, is probably the most remarkable one on record. He was born in Germany in 1815. When twenty-five years old—in 1840—he married his first wife, who lived eight years. She became the mother of seventeen children in that time, hav- ing twins in the first year of their marriage. The next year another pair of twins were born. Each suc- ceeding four years thercafter Mrs. Heffner became the mother of triplets. ‘The seventh year was signalized by the birth of one child. Mrs. Heffner died and was laid away in the village church yard in Germany. The wid- ower had now a family of seventeen children, the oldest only seven years of age. Three months thereafter a young lady took charge of the child- ren, and in course of time she became the second Mrs. Heffner. The first wife had died in February, 1848. In February, 1849, this second wife pre- sented Mr. Heffner with a boy. On Christmas day of the same year the nineteenth child was added to the Heffner flock. The family was now larger than any ove in that part of the county. ‘Five years passed-on and Mr. Heffuer’s family was increased by beneticial’ to the companies “in the: theaddition of ten morechildren—a pair three children were born in America. In 1857 his wife died,: having been married nine years. - He was now the he_ married in 1858. Mrs. Peffner, No. 3 had one child by a previous. marriage, She became the mother of nine more children in ten years by single births. His last, or third wife is still living. None of the first set of seventeen children survive. Two of the fifteen of the secondwife’s children still live and three of the third wife’s nine. In a period of twenty-eight years—from 1840, when he first married, to 1868, the date of the Lirth of his last child—he becaine the father of forty-one children. The five who are still living. are girls, With the step-chikd added to the list, forty-two children have called John Heffner “father.” The old man has long since forgotten the names of his numerous progeny, and can ouly re- member those born in later’ years.— Feading( Pa.)

Emile Jeanin, a sculp- tor of Paris, who proposes to employ for that purpose the material known as celluloid. The process of prepara- tion takes only half an hour, when the matter is once in type, and the plates thus produced are remarkably adapted for working on cylinder presses running at a high speed, being very light, flexible aud and durable. In this last respect they are said to even surpass metal plates. Eres THE . NEW. YORK OBSERVER THIS YEAR. The Largest and Best Family Paper in the Worid, Send for Saniple Copy---Llree.

Wilborn, enumerator for Salisbury township, that he would re- ceive an additional report up to 28th inst. The enumerator, therefore, went te work with praiseworthy diligence, and succeeded in getting forty-eight additional names, principally of colored people, who had been unavoidably missed in the first enumeration on account of absence at the time, having no regular sleeping place, &c. The report has been sent in, and wili probably secure to Rowan the retention of two members ef the lower House of the Legislature as at present. —p)— ra hy Miss Gray's ExrerrainMent.—It will seen by this paper, that one of the fumous theatricals of the country will play at the Opera House next week.

Let us catch a glimpse, before it van- ishes forever, of this under current of POPULAR SUPERSTITION as it existed-a few generations ago, and may still exist in certain localities in Rowan county. It is but the reiteration of a well known historical fact, when we assert that all mations and peoples have bad their su- perstitious belicfs and practices, no discredit to the inhabitants of Rowan to say that they shared with their contempo- raries in the popular superstitions of the day. Prominent among these was the pe.

Bui this was owing, wither to the superior charity of the people, or to thefactthat they supposed themselves abie to overmatch the witches With countercharms. A witch was gencra!- ly supposed te be an old woman in Teague With the devil, and able to do wonderful things by satanic agency. The usual way to become a witch was to go down to the spring at the dawn of day, and looking down at the image dimly outlined in the water, pledge the soul to Satan, upon condition ot fits reudering them the help needed. After this compact the witches could do wonder- ful things, such as riding on broumsticks through the air, transforming themselves into black cats, and rabbits, and ether ani mals. Walking along the road late in the evening, a man alleged that he saw three women sitting on a log beside the road. As he looked at them, the women suddenly melted from view, and three antlered deer galloped off in their stead. The witch or Wizzard was supposed to have power to transfer corn frem the horse trough ef his neighbor to his own horse, and while his neighbor's horses ect peor and fean, his own were sleek and fat. Toseearabbit hopping about a barn suggested the presence of a witch making arrangements to abstract the corn from the horses, ‘or the milk from the cews. But an old fashioned shilling with its pillars of Hercules nailed in the horse trough was supposed to break the spell and keep the corn In the trough. ‘The only way of killing the witeh rabbits and black cats, was by nsing a silver bullet. The rabbit would vanish, but the witch at home would suddenly dic of heart discase, or apoplexy. Ta the mean time the witches were supposed to use a peculiar kind of a gun, which was simply a ghiss phial, open at both ends, and a bullet made of knotted and twisted hair, This bullet possessed the wenderful proper- ty of penetrating the flesh of an animal with: out making any hole in the skin. It was alleged that such ballets were found, and animals often being skinned would show the hole through which these ballets went. It was believed that witches rode on the necks of horses at night, and their knotted stirrups were sometimes seen in the mapes of the horses. In these cases they assume) the form of rabbits.

In such anergencies the only refuge wasa “trick doctor” or conjurer, who knew liow to brew & medicine, or repeat a charm more potent than the spell Jaidon. Such “trick dectors” were to be found in the memory of persens still living. They were generally men of a shrewd unscrupulous character, who man- aved to deiude the minds of the eudlible victhns of trickery. He who was week enough to beheve in the “trick,” was not hard to be persuaded and imposed upon by the conjurer. Marycllous stories were told of the skill of these conjurers. So potent was the skill of one of these, that he needed no jock to his crib and smoke eM! he did was to draw aeircle in the dust or earth around his premises, and the thief who dared to enter that magic circle wonid be found standing there next morning ae bas of stolen meat or corn oi | 1 tt t ’ HOUSE, his shoolder.

Me and his fireman are the only living eyewituesses to the catastrophe and burning, except those on board the train who escaped. None of them have yjyct returned to Charlotte. The engineer's story is at second hand, as by the time the reporter could see him he declined to talk any more about it. He had been worried to death, he said. He is an Englishman, and to get him to talk under the most anspicions circum- atancea would, it is probable, be difticult. Just as the engiue had gotten over In- dian Creek trestle, the gong of the cab sounded violently and the rope broke. As he wheeled he heard a crash and saw cars and trestle going down, The engine was quickly reversed and stopped almost { omediately, as the speed was sicw at the: time. He seized an axe, and, iogecber with the fireman, ran dow the euvank - mont towards the wreck. It was blazing by the time they reached it. The cotm- bined baggage, express aud mail car was standing on its end, but smashed oat of shape. ‘The passenger had fallen entirely over the mail car and was also standing on ite end on this side of it, and smashed jn the same manner. ‘The box cars, which were loaded with cotton, were piled close around and enveloped in tlames almost immediately, while the timbers of the fal- len trestle were scattcred over and around in inextricable confusion. The first thought was, of course, for the men on board. They discovered Limebrick and pulled him out. He seem- ed to be dazed, for without uttering a word he started to the engiue. Griftiu was found and liberated, when he imme- diately inquired for Smith. ‘Here, for God’s sake come aud help me,” came from the burningdebris. Iu vain the dis- tracted men attempted to reach the burn- ing man. They could not even see him. Piteous cries and screams of agony came bat no help could reach him. Ina few minutes all was sileut. The man was dead. Amid the ruins could be seen the bodies of the colored men, MeKenzie and War- lick. They were both dead; one tran; fixed with a shattering beam, the other crashed beneath huge timbers. Of Good- aon and Bloom nothing was seen or heard. (apt. Jobnson was found one hundred and fifty yards away sitting on a log io the woods, wet, dazed and bewildered. What the devil is the matter?” he said, as the engincer came up. He says he re- members nothing; don’t know how he got where he was, vor when he fell. He hasn't a scratch, but is bruised and sere. He had hardly revived from his utter con- fusien yesterday when the train left Lin- colnton. (ars, trestle and freight were burnt to ashes, among which were found the signs of human bodies in charred and sickening fragments. ‘The remains, except those of Bill McKenzie, which were rescued after being badly disfigured, were undistin- guishable, locality even giving au uncer- tain clue to identity. Captain Johnsen says that there were only four passenger on the train; couse- quently all have been accounted tor, Mr. Limebrick reecived a severe cat across the nose, but is in no danger, Mr. Griffin is also vot seriously injured. They are both in Lincoluton, as is also Captain Johnson. Neither the engineer nor any of the rescued are able tu say whether the cars jumped the track or the trestle gave way. The fact on this will ga far towards settling the question of respousibility for the accident. Not a vestige of the trestle, except the iron bands and belts, nor of the cars, ex- cept the wheels and other parts made of jron, remain. The engineer aud fireman being the ouly persons present, could do nothing to stay the flames, which, being fed by the cotton, spread rapidly and quickly destroyed every inflammable substance within reach. About seventy- tive bales of cotton were burned. Mr. J. F. Bloom, one of the victims, who is well known here, has for more than twelve years been the mail agent an this end of the road. He is said te have been of the Lest and steadiest agents in the State. He was a member of the Knights of Honor, which insures to his fawily, which is a large ane, a Lrovision for $2,000; tv this ib may be added, he Hall’s ac- had a paid np. pelicy for $4,000 in the Cottov States Life Iusarance- Company of Macon, Ga., and was a shareholder in the United States Railway Mail Service Mu- with this last it may be incidentally re- marked that a reporter hes been shown his signature, made on the 20th of De- gewhber, paying his fee and renewing his membership iu this association, after hav- ing allewed it to expire for aconsiderable juterval. Mr. Frank W. Smith, another of the victims, is also well known here as the popular Southern salesman of Benedjct, Hall & Co., a Jarge slice flim of New York city. He wes a man of splendid physique, about 30 years old, height about six feet; was very attractive in bis ma iner, of a free, jovial and good natured disposition, aud generally liked here. S. W. Goodson, another of the victims, will be remembered here as having baa an insurance office under the First Na- tional Bank building in this city several years ago. Me lived last in Statesville, bittraveled most of the time for the ben- fit of his health, it being recommended to him by physicians, for consumption,with which he was afflicted. His son, who bears the same name, is now living in this city, a steady and industrious young mechanic. —————-—>-o___—_——_- Hanging in Rutherford. Daniel Keith Executed on Friday—A No- torivas Criminal Expiates His Horrid Crimes, Raleigh News & Observer. : Sueisy, N. C., December 1%, Daniel Keith, alias George Durham, alias George Anderson, white, horse thief, swindler, bigamist and rapist, was hang- ed to-day at Rutherfordton, for the rape and murder of Alice Ellis, a little negro girl, which crimes he committed in Jan- uary last. The case has been ene of great note, vot only in this section, but ip the State. Not long since Keith made a confession of his crimes, which has been published. It is of great length and goes into the de- tails of his terrible deeds. Keith born in Kentucky in 1343. At the early age of 14 he was a whisky-drinkivg wan- derer from home, under the name ot George Durham. Ie enlisted in the ar- ny, but in less than six months deserted. On his way home he stole a valuable horse, with which he rode from Kentacks to Tennessee. Lie was scized asa desert- er, but eseaped, and then stole watches and money. For theee offenses he was sent to the Kentucky Penitentiary for a year. he married a young gitl, from whom he soon separated. Keith went out to Indi ana, but in 1370 returned to Kentucky and married another remarkably pretty Was Soon after serving out bis sentence girl, Thus at 22 years ef age he had two wives. With this last wife he only lived seven months. Under the name of George Anderson he came back to North Caroli- nvin 1871, and in) Haywood county, iu that year, he married his third wife. In 1379 he came to Buncombe county and deceived maup persous xbout gold mines, which he professed to have dis- covered. He went back to Tennessee and thence to Kentucky, continuously engag- ed in petty swindling. Finally he turned up at Shelby, where he committed his two most heinous crimes. On Wednes- day, Jaunary 23, 18380. he committed the assault on the little negro girl, and then throwing a pillow slip over her head, beat out her brains with a large stone. Ap- palled at this double crime, Keith at- tempted to place the burden of it upon a supposititious convict whom he claimed to have seen in the neighborhood. But his tracks in the soft soil betrayed him. He was arrested in a few hours after the commission of the crimes. There were threats of lynching, but he was finally taken to Shelby jail, At the next term of court he was tried and convicted of murder. An appeal was taken to the Su- preme Court, on a technicality, when that court at the June term, 1880, affirmed the decision of the lower court. Tue execution teok place in the pres- ence of four thousand persens. Keith evinced remurkable self-possession on the scaffold, being calm and unmoved. He contessed the crime and said that bis punishment was just, as his villianies had been sutticient to stain the lives of forty men. Tle asserted that whisky was the cause of his downfall. Rey. E. 4. Osborn offered a prayer amid the awed silence of the vast crowd of lookers-on. The drop then fell aud in ten minnutes Keith’s pulse ceased to beat, W. HH. XM. +O: e— Converting the Liquor Men. Remarkable Result of a Remarkable Call. Ricumonp, Dee. 20.—Pursuaut-to a call made by Bishop Keane, yesterday, to all the Catholic churches in this city, a meeting of Catholic dealers in liquors was held last night in the Cathedral Hall for the purpose of taking action fer the proper observance cf Sunday by a sup- pression of the sale of intoxicating drinks on that day. Bishop Keane made a pow- erful address in advocacy of tho move- ment, and submitted a series of resolu- tion for ado tion, and plead’n¢ for signa- tures, setting forth the sacred obligation of keeping holy the Lord’s cay. Recog- nizing the practice of selling and drinking liquor on the Lord’s day as a violation of the commandments of God and the pre- cepts of the Church, and promising not to sell drinks to intoxicate persons on the Lord’s day, nor permit them to be sold by those over whom they had*control, and discountenance the practice in others, The resolutions were ananimousiy adopt-. ed and the pleading was signed by thirty liquor dealers.
