CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETNG.-The Union
Central Committee met last Saturday, all the
members present. call was ordered for a
County Convention, to be held in Weaverville on
the 18th of July, delegates to which will be cho-
sen in the several precincts on Saturday, July
sth. This gives ample time for the most distant
precincts to be represented in the Convention.
The Committee adopted the following test for the
qualification Of voters at the primaries: =" Did
you vote for Abraham Lincoln and Andrew john
son at the last Presidential election, or would
you have so voted had you been afforded an OPP
portunity p The latter clause was inserted that
soldiers and other persons now in the county,
who were DISTINGUISHED by non-resdence at the
last election might not be deprive that privilege
at the primaries and it eminenty WISE
and just provision. The further action OF the
Committee will be found in another column.
Now that the action Of the Central Committee
has been laid before the people, 1t becomes 'he
duty of that portion of our citizens who claim
TO be members Of the great Union party, ana
who have helped to place it in the ascendancy,
to see to it that good men are chosen to represent
them in Convention, to the end that competent,
loyal and honest candidates may lie selected for
official position. The Union party of this State
has made noble record, and every member Of
it should feel it his duty to aid in preserving that
record unsullied. Let dissension and petty bick
trings be avoided let political hacks be set
aside for resting-spell, and each and every good
citizen exert himself to have capable men select
ed for county positions 1t can be accomplished
if the Union party so Wills it, and we sincerely
believe it does.

been selected by the Committee to deliver the
Grafton on the approaching 4th of July. Below

THE WIRZ TRIAL.

The trial of the inhuman monster who
was keeper of the Andersonville prison
is drawing to a close. If all the testimo.
ny in regard TO this mans bar6arities be
true, and there seems no reason TO doubt
any of it, he will stand in history as the
most heartless demon that ever cursed
the earth with his presence. One can
not read The story. of his crimes and out
RACES perpetrated against helpless pris-
oners, without a shudder. The william
must have been sent int5 the world with
out heart, and if he has soul it will
soon be wrapped in the flames of hell's
hottest corner. In almost every epoch
of time there has appeared some great
human monster in crime whose atrocious
deeds, committed against his fellow men
have rendered him immortal in fnfsiny:
In the seventeenth century Jeffreys, of
England, often urged on by his master
James the H, but in most cases out of
pure blackness of heart, bulchered,
hanged and burned those who were so
unfortunate as to come within his iuris-
diclibh, until the people rose in revolu-
tion, deihroned The master and sent The
inhuman servant TO the Tower where,
before a trial could be brought about,
death put an end to his miserable exis-
tente. In the eighteenth century, Rob-
espierre, in France, "got drunk with
blood and 1omited crime" He stand 5
the fepres entative monster Of his age
and time, and history has painted him
as such. But it has been reserved for
this age of civil 'zation. in land bostful
of its superior intelligence and larger
freedom, 10 produce a crlmonal surpas-
sing in ferocily all Who have preceded
him. We have heretofore made ex-
oerpts from tie evidence elected, and
below give d small portion Of what was
brought out one day last weak. Geo.
W. Gray, an Indiana cavalryman, stated;
"Tbat party of prisoners, in whose
company he arrived at Andersonville,
we're ordered to place their blankets, hav-
ersacks, sc, in one place, when an Off
Ger who was mounted on gray horse
rode up and told the Confederate sol
diers to help themselves and let the pris-
1ners have the remainder. The Con-
federale soldiers helped themselves and
there was nothing left. He was not
certain whether the mounted officer was

Colonel Hewitt, and | turned my head t
look.
No, the colonel was just dashing
through the gate into the YARD, and there
was duplicate Eve behind, graphing
me fast around the waist. while wa;
holding in my arms-well, | may as well
come to it at once-Cornelia HeweIt,
whom had surprised in the pool bathing
and mistaken for the crazy Almira, who
had been concealed close by, and the
moment gave chase to COrnella, took
after me, overlaking me at the very mo-
ment of my capturing the cOlonel's
daughter. Il must have been beautiful
display as seen by the colonel aud his
clod hoppers: young saltwater shark
in chase of a Venus just from the water,
and he in turn pursued by another nude
naiad, and all three driving away toward
the kitchen door like an albicore between
to bonitas.
The colonel was belligerant at first, but
as soon as | explained he laughed heartily,
and hurryiDg myself and the two shiflless
girls into less public place than the
kitchen porch, the first thing he said to
me was:
Look here, my lad you have caught
the GIRL fairly, and guess you'd better
keep her,
Just as she is, colonel q l asked, just
as innocenty as baby. Cornelia slapped
me in the face, teaching me something
better than that, and then pent out like
a shot, taking the crazy girl with her.
They came back, however, in about half
an hour, blushing pretty red, but looking
a good deal more presentable than they
had done in the race down the lane.
The excitement or reaction or some-
thing, cured the cracy girl and the mis-
take won me wife worth all the angels
that ever visited this world
'And the cigars in the bargain put in
