Bag~ The Hon. Louis D. Campbell of Ohio, who
turned out of his seat a member of the
House at the last session because he was not en-
titled to hold it, has published card in which he
calls upon the people of his District " who oppose
the efforts of the present Administration to force
African slavery upon Kansas" to redress his
wrongs. While Campbell is abusing the democra-
tic administration for its course the Kansas ques
ton, the opponents of the party at the South also
abuse it for the same course although they enter
tain different sentiments from Mr. Campbell. But
both have main object at heart, viz the defeat
Of the democratic party.

SLAVES MANUMITTED.-Mrs Perry, a French
lady who resided in Fayetteville, N. c., died re-
Gently and by her will set free negro woman and
five children, and directed that sum of money
be appropriated for their use in free State. The
Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer speaking of the mat
ter, says:
"James Banks. Esq, an eminent member of the
Bar at Fayetteville, n. c., is in this city. He
comes to carry out the will of the late Mrs Perry
who appointed Mr. Banks to see that her six slaves,
Caroline Perry and her children, have their free
dom and $4,000 as the estate is settled.
Mr. Banks brings the freed persons here, and has
arranged with Judge Tilden to receive the money
when he shall send it, and pay it over to and ad-
! wise the new settlers here how to invest it."
The woman and her children are bright mulat-
toes and received from their mistress good training
and much attention. In fact we have heard it said
that the woman quite accomplished. They
may do pretty we'll in Ohio if some abotionst DOM
fool them out of their money, which will be done
if possible.
The Fayetteville Observer says the amount of
Mrs Perry's legacy has been exaggerated.

FALsE.-The silly report in the opposition pa

in 1916, that he wished he had lungs of iron and
throat of steel that he might proclaim to the
world the evils of internal improvement" is pro-
nounccd utterly false by Judge Ellis himself.

The WAY TO ENCOURAGE TRADE.-One of our
Charlotte merchants the other day received large
order from merchant at Wilmington, n. c., for
Flour. If this example was followed by others it
would not be long before our people would know
more of Wilmington than they do We know
the merchants of that town possess the energy and
disposition to build up thriving trade with the
west, which would ere long be established if they
would manage to make themselves known more
extensively in this section.
While on this subject we will state that the
most of the Flour sold here is in 80 lb. sacks.
Barrels sometimes used, but not to any great
extent. Flour in sacks sell here nearly as we'll as
if in barrels and we learn the same is the case in
Charleston, where most of Flour goes Oc-
casionally an order from Charleston is received for
barrels, for which 25 cts. more is paid, owing to
the scarcity of the article put up in that way.
In the eastern part of this State, in order to
make Flour sell well it is necessary to have it in
barrels and would suggest to farmers the impor-
lance of putting up more in that way. In the
New York market the appearance Of the barrel
has some effect on its sale-a smooth barrel COM
handing more than a rough one.

We have been familiar with the tricks of polit-

candidate for Governor is the boldest of all its pre-
decessors and confess that we were not prepared
to see Mr. McRae acting in this way When he
was here in Charlotte he was so emphatic in his
declaration of opposition to further aid to works of
internal Improvement that we could not understand
how he could modify his views Several persons
about here were enlisted in his support on the
express ground that he opposed further appropria-
tions by the Legislature. But his course in the
West, where everybody wants appropriation,
does not tally with his position here and in the
