Meeting at Holly Springs.

On Saturday last Republican meeting
was held at Holly Springs, Wake County,
which was organized by calling Quentin Ut
ley, Esq, to the Chair, and appointing
Booker Hutehiags Secretary. Mr. Utley ex-
planned the object of the meeting in an APP
propriate manner, after which speeches were
made by James H. Harris, W. W. Holden,
Jas. Foat. Taylor, G. L. Harris, W. 3. Rich
ardson, and James Jones.
At the close of the meeting Mr. Richard
son called for showing of hands, when all
the hands of the eolored peopie present went
up for the Republican cause.
There were some forty or fifty white per-
sous present, a majority Of whom were rebels
or copperheads. They did not seem to rel
ish the speeches, but the few white Republic
cans present listened with interest, and avow-
ed their determination to labor cheeTfulIy
and hopefully to restore the Union under the
Sherman act The two hundred colored
people in attendance were enthusiastically
with the Republican party. After the speak
ing was over they formed line on each side
of the road. and as the speakers started
home, walking between tie lines, they were
warmly cheered.
An excellent barbecue was served up on
the occasion by Mr.. ]. Norris.

best. Our loyal people have confidence in
Gen. Sicklcs, and they look to him with
hope and confidence to pursue such course
as will maintain them in their rights, and
ensure the return of the State to the Union
under the reconstruction act.
As one specimen out of many OF the man.
ner in which unconditional Union men in
this State are treated, we copy the following
letter from Col William A. Dunn. Col
Dunn has been faithful officer Of the N c.
Road for the last eight years, and his only
fault is that he attended the late Republican
Convention in this City. Scores of Union
men have been discharged by the various
corporations under Gov. Worth, on account
of their Unionisn,, especially young men
who, to escape CONSUMPTION, crossed the lines
and took protection under the old flag.
COMPANY SHOPS, April 20, 1857.
DEAR RI am now on the eve of leay-
ing the old North State, where my record du-
ring my stay of IL years has been for the
Union al,oays and .torecer, and thought I
would like to let you know how men of this
stamp are looked upon in this part of our
moral vineyard I attended the Union meet
ing in Raleigh, as you are aware. or as the
officers on this N c. r. R. term it, negro
saeetiay And it is doubtless, as all think,
the cause of my removal from the Road. I
have given entire satisfaction, as have been
told, in every position have filed on the
Road for the last eight years Inow leave,
seeking employment elsewhere, and hope at
the next annual meeting of stockholders to
see new "rder of things; and if a Union
maa can get living by deserving it, they will
have men for officers that will give US hear
ing, and chance to live in some peace;
otherwise the Union men must look for en-
pioyment elsewhere that are connected with
this Road. would be pleased to hear from
you, and hope our cause may brighten day
by day. My address will be Bristol, Ten
nessee. Very respectfully,
VIM A. DUNN.

Extract from letter to the Editors, dated

NASH COUNTY, april 10, 1901.
evil you please send me a few copies of
Mr.. POOLS address have carefully read
it and heartily concur with him as to our
duty. He plainly and truthfully describes
the scenes of tyranny and oppression to
which we were subjected by secessionists.-
I hope the people of North Carolina will
cease to listen to the appeals OF those men
who so nearly ruined them, and will heed
the wise counsels and timely admonitions of
her wisest and purest statesmen, among
whom is Mr.. Pool. He plainly shows the
duty of every citizen; he plainly shows
what must follow if we continue to trust
men, who on account of their disappointed
ambition would destroy the government of
the United States. s
Can any man read the heart-sickening
scenes that were enacted during the rebell-
ion, and then continue to listen to the decep-
tive and ruinous teachings of disappointed
traitors? hope the people OF this once no.
BILE State, noble for the prompt and energetic
part our fathers took in giving US liberty,
will yet cast off the opprobious weight of
secession and rally to the Union cry, and per-
petuate freedom to posterity. Its our only
hope, and 1 for one like it right or wrong,
q know it's wrong with some,) and shall ever
be ready to raise voice in defence OF such
grand, glorious and free government as the
United States ever has been and would now
be, were it not for traitors and their deluded
followers. I am fully aware that many OF
our disappointed secessionists would ruin usEf;
would rather see the last vestige of liberty
swept from us, than to acquiesce in what
they are rightfully forced to do. Our only
hope is tor them to remain silent and out OF
office, and give way to men whose every i'm.
pulse is in unison with Union, Equality and
Freedom"

All Hands Upg

On Easter Monday last, afta Mr.. Gales
had spoken and Mr.. Battle had spoken, and
Gov. Worth had spoken, all in the interest
of conservatism, alias Rebeldon Mr.. Taylor
was called upon by the crowd, and follow
ing in few remarks, he closed b y calling on
the colored people to know what they
thought of what had been said. He said he
wanted all the Republicans prese mt to hold
up their hands, and instantly all the hands
OF all the colored people of both sexes were
held up! This showing of ha nds," as it
is called in England, was conc lusive. It
proved beyond all doubt that the Easter
Monday meeting, called by the 6sya incl and
Gov. Worth, and addressed by the latter,
was unanimously against Gov. Wor lsh and
his faction.
All hands up for the Union, and all rebels
down where they should be. Good!
The Sentinel knows all about this re suit of
its own meeting, but it still claims tb at the
meeting was success" for its side We
may well exclaim with Fallstaff-n allu-
sion to Brother Pell-" Lord, how thie world
is given to lying"

Hon. Henry Wilson.

Mr.. Wilson, of Massachusetts, is engaged
in speaking in different localities to the
Southern people, explaining the reconstruc-
ton act and urging the people of both races
all classes to accept the act chcerfully, and
thus restore themselves to the Union. Mr..
Wilson has nothing to gain in this work
either of a personal or pecuniary character.
He is actuated solely by wish to promote
the general welfare. His speeches are not
offensive in their character Heis kind and
respectful in his manner and language,
though firm in asserting his principles. He
is simply seeking to do good to his fellow
countrymen. One would naturally suppose
that such man, holding the high position
he does, would be cordially welcomed by all.
Not so, however He is assailed in the most
vehement manner by the secession press gen.
orally, and in many instances he is dispar-
aged, ridiculed and maligned. The Rich
mond and Petersburg press led the way in
these assaults, and they have been followed
by the Wilmington press, in this State. For
example, Richmond correspondent of the
Wilmington Journal says: i
"Senator Wilson spoke here in the Capt.
toll Square on Monday last. No great ex
citement seems to have been consequence
of the same. So far the white man has not
been made black, nor has the black man
been made white by the effects of his disin-
terested efforts Politically speaking, he is
dying-fast dying, and we now earnestly
hope that by the time his tour is completed,
that he will be most blaekly and thoroughly
dyed and most completely and d-nably
dead"
Mr.. Wilson is to speak in Wilmington on
the list of May, and the above is intended to
prejudice him with the people of that COM
munity But it will have contrary effect
We predict that he will address 5000 per
sons in Wilmington, and that nine-tenths Of
them will proclaim themselves Republicans
Our loyal people thank Mr.. Wilson for his
Southern tour. They are turning out enthu
siastically to hear him. With his Union an
tecedents, and with proud consciousness Of
his integrity, he can afford to persevere in
his good work. entirely disregarding thu
malicious attacks that are made upon him

Registers of Voters.


Cav Miles has issued Circular Letter to
tbe officers and agents Of the Freedman's
Bureau in this State, from which We make
the following extracts:
.Tbe various officers and agents of this
Bureau will, without delay, procure and for
ward to these Headquarters, the names of
three persons IN each election district fthe:r
respective sub-districts to act as Registers
and Inspectors of Elections. Of these, two
will he white men and one eolored IMAM.
1t is desirable that one of the white men
should be a resident of the district, possessing
necessary qualifications and can take the re-
ouired oath: the other can be selected from
among officers or agents of the Bureau, ex-
officers of the United States Army or Navy.
In the selection of the colored men, care
will he taken to procure as far as possible,
those of intelligence and sufficient education
In case there cannot be found a sufficient
number of men, with necessary qualifications,
for each precinct, the number can be reduced,
so as not to be less than two white men and
one colored man for each county.
All officers and Agents will give their
personal attention to this matter. Their re-
ports will be in tabular form, giving age,
occupation, where born. length of residence
in their respective election districts, whether
they have been in the military service of the
United States, if so in what capacity, and
under head of remarks any other information
that may be of interest and service
This is good movement The officers
and agents of the Bureau have excellent op-
portunities to obtain the required infarma-
ton, and we are satisfied they will report
the names of none who are not loyal and
trustworthy.
1t will be seen that there are to be two
white Registers and one colored Register to
each County This is as it should be. The
colored people were entitled to at least this
much power in the work of enrolling. 1t
will be difficult in some localities to get inspec
tors of elections at the precincts, who can
take the required oath, without taking col
ored men. 1t SO happens that where there
are most rebels there are most colored peo-
pie, and in the localities referred to it will be
a good thing to have colored inspectors mix
ed with white ones, so as to ensure justice to
the colored voters.

An Old Lady Murdered in-Philadelphia

An Old Lazy murdered INF n1ia0elpnlas
PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-About two
o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Magilton, aged
about sixty-two years. was found murdered
at her residence, in Shipper street, above
Thirteenth. Her throat was cut with a razor,
and seven confused wounds appeared on the
head, inflicted with hammer which had
been left beside her. The information of
the murder was first given to the husband
of the deceased by Geo. Winnemore, who
was taken in custody on suspicion, and COM
mitted to await the coroner's investigation.
Winnemore is friend Of the family and had
taken tea with the old couple, who lived
alone, on the previous evening. Nothing
was missing from the house, and it is not
known what could have prompted the MUIR
der. The deceased was the mother of
Colonel Magilton. The razor was found in
casspool belonging to the house.
The razor has been identified as the FRO
perry of Winnemore. 1t is supposed that
the unexpected return of the husband pre-
vented Winnemore from plundering the
house. He was soldier in the late war,
and was in debt to the tavern-keeper where
he boarded. He also was anxious to obtain
money to emigrate to Montana.
