N. c. MILITARY INsTIrUTE.-There are now ninety
six Cadets present at the beginning Of the new ses-
sion all of whom belong to the Scientific Depart
ment. This is great success, as far mere num-
bers concerned and it will appear the more re-
markable when three things are taken into consid-
Grafton. First the abolition of the Primary De-
partment, which was a popular feature and an ele-
ment of success last year. Third the high standard
of scholarship has operated to reduce the numbers
in the Institute At the examination in July more
than half tcere pronounced deficient, and required
to take their course over again, or pass approved
examination at the beginning of the next session.
Thirtysix of the old Cadets have not returned this
session, and all of these, except FOUR have been
found deficient
1t is reasonable to suppose that-had the standard
been lower-the Institute would now have from
twenty-five to thirty more Cadets. school of low
grade in scholarship, and high rank in the art of
humbug, can always be kept full in this country
But the Board of Directors and Faculty wished to
establish high standard at once and thus make
the Institute blessing to the State, even though Its
numbers might be affected injuriously for a time

The BANKs.-The fact that some of the Banks in
this State are curtang their business is being used
by the enemies of the Democratic party against
Breckenridge and Lane. The Douglas paper of this
place makes an unworthy and unbecoming effort to
fix the blame upon the friends of Breckinridge.-
The Raleigh Register and others, have done the
same thing. The cause Of the money pressure at
this time is mainly owing doubt to over-trading,
as the Fayetteville Observer suggested last week.
The Banks have been doing large discountng bust
ness, and prudence and good management require
that they should now hold up and not involve them
selves or customers in difficulties. 1t is SANDER
to say that the Breckenridge party is responsible for
the pressure, and the charge is made solely for po
litical eect-it is made to help the of Douglas
and Bell and frighten the people from the support
of the National Democratic candidates. Breckenridge

DIPTnERIA AND ITS CURE.-Thc following extract
has already appeared in columns some five or
six weeks ago. when the disease of which it treats
was unknown in our community but as, since that
PERIOD it has intruded itself among us and claimed
two or three victims, republiSh the extract, and
invite the particular attention of our readers TO it
"Ths singular disease, which has thus far SEEM
ed to battle the skill of best physicians (says
the Cincinnati Press has become so generally prev
alent and has been so generally fatal that any sug-
gestion in regard to its will hardly prove unn
tereStng. Its causes are not known, and therefore
all treatment has hthertofore been merely expert
mental; but its pathognomic symptoms are so d.
versified and dlssmiar that in many instances the
throat Of the patient Closes and he dies before his
disease is discovered The diagnotic by which it is
known from other complaints of the throat is the
formation of membrane, which increases gradual
y until the patient is literally sranged to DEATH
1t is sometimes accompanied by liberation and ex-
treme prostration of the entire system, and in 9TH
ers by neither of these symptoms yet in either case
it is equally fatal To arrest the formation of this
membrane would therefore seem equivalent to cur
ing the disease, and this, in most instances NAV be
done in the following manner: In the early stages
of the complaints, which is always accompanied by
soreness and swelling of the throat let the pa
tent use simple solution of salt and water, as a
gargle, every fifteen minutes. At the same time
moisten flannel with solution of the same kind
made as warm as the patient can bear it. and bind
it around his throat renewing it as often as the gar
gle is administered, and in the meanwhile sprinklinc
fine salt between the flannel and the neck Use in.
wardly some tonic or stmulant, either separately
or if prostration be great use both together The
treatment, may be seen, is extremely simple and

They state in so many words that this country can

said -
81. They have violated the Constitution which
binds us together and constitutes the terms OF our
Union, by total disregard of its limitations. 2.
They maintain that Congress OF the United States,
under their control is as omnIpoent in its legisa-
ton the British Parliament claimed to be over
our ancestors. g. Thus will representatives in Con-
gress be rendered of avail to protect the interests
Of the South, and they recognize the decision OF
the Supreme Court as not binding, taxation without
representation will be practically enforced a. They
deny TO us a common property in our Territories,
acquired equally by our money and blood, on the
ground that the people of the South, with their IN
situations, not worthy to coonize them. o. They
have assailed for many years the institution of Afr
can slavery in the South, and have made our COM
mon legislature of the Federal Government a grand
instrument for incendiarism and abolition. g. They
have compelled to separate from them in our
churches and other religious institutions z. They
have passed laws in their State legislatures nufy-
ing the laws Of Congress providing for the recovery
of fugitive slaves, although solemnly adjudicateG to
be constitutional by the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. 8. They have organized associations to
run away with the slaves of the South, and to pre-
vent their recapture, and have murdered owners
seeking their rendition. .. They have invaded our
homes and killed our inoffensiye citizens, to raise
our slaves in insurrecton against their TO-

amongst our slaves, to desolate the South by fire.

native justice and magnanimity; we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow
their usurpatons which would inevitably interrupt

ONO CARRIED BY TIE NEGRots The official re-
turns of the Ohio election disclose the fact that the
black Republican majority was only 1874 Four
teen thousand negroes were allowed to vote under
the decision OF Judge Brinkerhoff. Leaving out this
negro vote the Democrats have majority of nearly
six thousand Thus the startling the humiliating
fact appears that Ohio sovereign State of the Union
is under negro rule To such disgrace would the
Republican party reduce the whole country. This
thing is too shameful, too sickening, too revolving
to contemplate The following paragraph is from
the cleveland Pldindedier;
Full blooded negroes voted in several of the
Wards yesterday. At the Second Ward negroes as
black as coal pcddled tickets. Negroes hired car
riages and carried white to the polls. Negroes
were everywhere. Tine refrain commencing,
"Sheep's meats too good for negroes"
is an absurdity. Here on the Western Reserve roast
beef is hardly good enough for them. They sit at
the first table, and white men are forced to lap up
the crums at the second That's the style here
