heaven continues his life and health, his future

has not yet discovered and beauti6ed by flow

o. The Herald of yesterday Thursday thinks
that our article of the previous day wednesday,
conveys erroneous impressions of its meaning as
pressed in its article of Tuesday the Deposit and
Dstrhu ion questions. We confess that we are not
aware of having done SO. 1t certainly not our
intention.
We do not agree with its assumption that either
Gen Cass or Douglas are land dstributionists. We
DO not think that are, and yet We violation
of principle in the United States a proprietor of
land, property, improving that property which it
does as anybody must do by giving part for the
improvement Of the rest as any prudent proprietor
would do This system has into abuse, and there
fore practically, should be abstained FROM in our
opinion. II is neither distribution, nor Is it wrong
per Sc. There is no reason, that know of, for
supposins that either Mr. Cass or MIR. Douglas WOULD
vote for general distribution bill.
As regards Messrs. Reid and Biggs, the Herqtds
remarks certainly gave US the IMPRESSION at hasty
reading, that it classed them as dstrbutionss The
Herald says we were mistaken in impression
Of course, The Herald is the proper judge
We opne that the entire Democratic delegation
from his Stale" will hardly agree with the Herald
in the grounds upon which 1t assumes the champion
ship If the affirmative vote upon Lewis d. Camp
BELLS Bill
In regard to Messrs. Winslow, Rufin, Crage,
Cingman and Branch, the Herald says that it dill not
say they were land distributionists Perhaps not
directly but il does refer to the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands and adds, We had hoped, from
the sensible course pursued by the entire delegation
in the last Congress, in voting to distribute these
proceeds among the States, that 9th parties in North
Carolina we're united on this question" 1t certainly
here says that they voted for distribution. 1t might
we'll have said they distriburionist<. But
these little misconceptions are small matters that will
no, pay 10 squabble over
We agree fully with The Herald, that all these
thing. will be fully discussed We would not want
to igno them or sur them over, even if we could.
Therss no ignoring or slurrng matters of prin-
ciple.

"a Within the last few days, or nights rather,
a very large number of valuable dogs have been
poisoned in different parts Of town. This poisoning
appears to have been reduced to system Oy the
party parties engaged in it, and watch dogs have
been poisoned in the yards which they guarding
and beyond which they could not stray. This must
have been done by poisoned meat thrown in.
1t may appear 10 be a small thing, but we confess
to something of creeping horror at the idea of the
secret posoner even Of dogs, going Oh his nightly
rounds casting into yards and private Places or even
public streets his deadly compositions. There is
something that always struck unpeasantly in the
idea of poisoning under any circumstances. Fami-
liary with secret poisoning, even of animals, is al
together TOO suggestive of the facility with whch
private malice might do its work of maIeyolence.
We have been asked to call the attention of the
authorities to these outrages II they are the work
of negroes, the thing ought 10 be seen 10 at once
How they trampoose the tow at the hours when
these things are done ! Where can they get the
poson2
Can it be possible that v lite men would be gully
of such things? Surely, if so, they cannot have
hected upon what they have been doing 10 cast
deadly poisons into private yards where all sorts of
domestic animals and children are going about, is
criminal rock iessness.
Suppose should happen to have loaded
gun or pistol 10 his hand, and should see an other
peeson. rhte or black, saunter up 10 his fence OF
gate and throw poison into bio Iot and then suppose
the contents of The gun or pistol SHOULD happen te
enter rapidly into the body of the poisoner, who
could blame the man with the gun! 4 mans en-
closure is his own, and if truant dogs annoy him, i
isa question of his own how he shall receive them
Be ,ond that, or in other peoples lots, is anothe
thing.
