The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1865-09-19

Those who discussing the matter never
alude to this account debt, and we call their at
tention to the subject, though we think it would
be better to postpone all such discussions to a
future day.
A DIFFICULTY AT CHAPEL HILL.-A friend
!. at Chapel Hill informs that rather serious
difficulty occurred the night of the 18th inst.
between the negroes Of the village and the Stu
dents of the University. 1t is represented that
the negroes holding a 'secret meeting
and that the Students attacked them for the pur-
pose of breaking up the meeting. A general fight
epsucd, in which some of the students pref
ty badly injured and the negroes roughly hand
led. pistols and sticks being freely used. The
x day the students found that their Society Halls
had been defaced and the furniture torn up by
the negroes. 1t is represented that the students
are greatly excited and will not allow a negro to
show his head in the Campus,
sg The worst enemy the negro has is the
white men who advising them to hold politi-
cal meetings and Conventions. Such assemblages
will certainly excite anmosty towards the color
| ed man. AS Gen. Davis said in speech in
| Pennsylvania recently, this is the white mans
| country and the white men North and South in
! tend it shall continue SUCH
| Negroes will never be allowed to vote and hold
Office in the southern States, and the less they
agitate the question the better it will be for them.
No one North or South Except few crazy fana-
tcs) is willing to allow them to vote; but if they
| behave themselves and prove industrious all
willing to aid them in earning an honest livelihood.
Nor VERY CREDITABLE The Winston Sen
syth county in the Convention announced them
selves in public speeches ct that place recently,
and gives sketch of the remarks of one of the
candidates as follows
''Dr. J. L. johnson, who was the first that ad-
dressed the people. took broad ground in favor of
repudiating the debt. As an evidence of his
loyalty to North Carolina and the Union he stated
that during part Of the four years just ended,
he had been in the recruiting service. of the
United States, and part of the time he had acted
as Steward and Assistant Surgeon in the Con-
fedcrate army, and, while in this position, he had
secretly furnished Southern soldiers with passes
from hospitals, by means of which they could
cape to the Federal lines, and that he had fire.
quently conducted deserters out Of the Confed-
eracy."
DIR. j. l.. johnson" may consider this very
creditable to himself but don't think many
others of any class will look on it in that light
No wonder the Confederacy crushed when
its own officers acted in that way.
PROHIBITION.-It will be seen by the following
order of the Commander of this Post, that there
is to be no more retailing of spirituous liquors In

sg- Hop Ihaddeus Stevens, member of Con-
gress frsaca Pennsylvania, recently made speech
in Lancaster. Pa, in which he declared his op-
position TO the Presidents reconstruction policy.
He proclaimed his belief that the existence of the
Republican party depended upon the Southern
ststes being kept out of the Union-that the
admission of the Southern States would secure
the triumph of the Democratic party. and con-
sequently the downfall of the radical party
Stevens is prominent in Congress; being
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, |
and he shows that he is working more for party
than for the peace of the country. He is opposed
to admitting what he calls the ''rebel States |
because it would endanger the success and tri- |
umph of radicalism and fanaticism generally
All such men and their friends will soon be found
in direct hostility to President Johnson. The
issue will be decided when Congress meets.
BAD.-Ono of the Editors of the Carolina
Times, writing to his paper from Wilson's
Springs. Cleaveland county. says:
Il saw day or two siuce gentleman from
Yancey county who gave me u fearful account of
the state of affairs in that county. Some two
hundred of Kinks usen (now dsbanded) have re-
turned and were plunderng and maitreating the
citizens most outrageous y-many were compell-
ed to fly for their lives-and Southern man dare I
not remain. Many have had to leave homes and.
property to the mercy of these wretches. The I
emigration from that county is now very great
and the best lands in the market. regret
to see also many of the citizens of this county
too are leaving for Texas. and good deal of
land here will be for sale. This county Is salu- !
brious and the soil, if not rich, is capable of i'm
provement. and is just the place for small farms
to pay"
A TREASURY DEcIsIoN.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has decided in the case OF the re-
Gently APPOINTED Collector of Customs at
Georgetown, S. C.-who could not tahe the
prescribed oath in consequence OF having par !
ticipated in the rebellion-that he and similar
appointees may perform the duties OF the ofhee
without pay until Congress assemblies, they run /
ming the risk of Congress providing for the pay
ment of their salaries -New York Herald.
