The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1866-06-20
For the Standard.

MEssRs. EDITORS Believing the people
of North Carolina desire the election of true
and loyal men to all the Offices of honor and
trust, suggest for the consideration of the
true Union of the State, the name of Geo.
W. Logan, of Rutherford, for Governor and
that of Thomas Settle, of Rockingham, for
Lieutenant Governor.
There can be no objection to these gentle
men, that they are in any manner response
BILE for the past or present state of things
Their records as Union men, are beyond qnes-
ton.
Their course during the war and up to the
present time, has been straitforward and
consistent; they did not affiliate with the
secessionists during the war, nor have they
acted with the destructives of the present
day.
Mr.. Logan is undoubtedly the strongest
man in the west He is an able debater; q
man of sound ability and well qualified to
fill the Office of Governor. MI. Settle is we'll
suited for the position of Lieutenant Gov
ernor, being thoroughly acquainted with all
the parliamentary rules that are necessary for
the Speaker of the Senate. Upon the whole,
Messrs Editors in my opinion, Mr.. Logan
and Mr.. Settle are two of the best men in the
State, and their election will no doubt meet
the appreciation of every true lover of the old
Flag and be the cause of great rejoicing
among the Union men of the State
respectfully ask the consideration of the
two gentlemen that l have suggested, hoping
that the day is not far distant when those
who labored to preserve the country from the
evils of secession and war will again be
placed in power, and that the true Union
men of the State may rule, l am very respect
! fully UNION.

WORTHY of IMITAT1oN.-The inhabitants
of Perry county, Ala, have shown themselves
| much more sensible and humane than those
| of many sections of the South Instead O.
abusing and numbering the freedmen, ant
denouncing the Abolitionists, they have SCI
| themselves to work for the benefit of tin
colored population, which they know mus
| always exist among them. They feel that j
is better and safer to have the blacks intelli
gent than ignorant and vicious. Accordingl..
| meeting was to be held in Marion, til
county seat, on the 18th, to provide mean
for encouraging the freed people in thei
wishes and efforts to acquire a common
school education The call signed, among
others, by Hons. A. B. Moore and j. M. l
Curry, whose reputation has extended be
yond their own State. Both males and ft
males are included in the invitation to atten,
the gathering. Such spontaneous moyemen
as this is among the most encouraging il
dications we have from the South.

on the right thumb. She experienced n
serious results until Tuesday week, when he
thumb, arm and chest became considerable

redness, stiffness and numbness, the arm b.
ing SO stiff that she was almost unable

day, and found her evidently suffering fror
hydrophobia, the result of the bite of til
dog. On Friday night she became very il
biting and tearing at almost everything nea
her, and suffering much from commissions
She repeatedly declared that she heard tn
dog growing at her; indeed, she displaye
all the symptoms of this dreaded disease. A
surgical writers on the subject do not la
down any specific mode of treatment in case
of this kind, Mr.. Pope determined to caus
profuse salvation in the patient, with til
view of neutralizing the poisinous charactt
of the. saliva of hydrophobia. This is
course of procedure not often pursued. br
its beneficial effects were soon apparent. 0
Sunday the commissions and the spasm
from which the poor girl also suffered, ha
ceased, and there now appears to be ever
prospect of her ultimate recovery Voice
