BOARDING HOUSE RoBBED.-A lot OF bed
clothing and other articles were stolen
from the boarding house of j. W. Edin,
on Broad between Ninth and Tenth streets,
on Monday night. It is supposed that the
guilty parties were some colored women
who had visited the house during the day
in search of employment.
The frequency of such cases should
make our citizens unceasing in their vigil
lance.

Heavy Rains and Freshets.

The cloudy weather continues, and the
prospect for the wheat harvest is gloomy
Some Spring wheat has been saved, but the
great breadth of wheat is still uncut
We hear from all directions that the fresh
cts, or rather floods, have destroyed large
quantities of the growing crops of corn
wheat, oats and cotton. In many places the
soil has been washed out, leaving only the
clay, and the corn and cotton swept out by
the roots. In other places the crops have
been drowned and killed by standing water.
1t will soon be too late to replant corn, and
in many places, the ground is so wet that
this cannot be done for a week or so to come.
The destruction to bridges and fences has
been great. The prospects of our farmers,
which were bright a month ago, have been
overspread with gloom. We trust, however,
that the damage to the crops is not as great
as represented. Aweek or two of dry, hot
weather, for which every one is anxiously
hoping, would greatly improve the prospects
of the farmers.

Tennessee.

Many lamentations are heard in rebel
quarters over the accomplishment the fact
that Radical rule" is so rigid and bloody
in Tennessee that many of 4" the best people"
are leaving the State; and it is predicted
that if Gov. Brownlow should be reelected
general exodus of good people " from the
State will take place.
There is no truth in these statements.
Tennessee is quiet, and is prospecting under
Republican rule Money is abundant in the
State, and every interest is fourishing. Ten
nessee has established an excellent system of
Common Schools. She is paying the inter-
est on her public debt; and she is reviving
her system of internal Improvements, and
knocking through one of her railroads at
the Western door of North-Carolina. These
are facts which none can deny. "The tree
is known by its fruits" The fruit of this
Republican tree in Tennessee is good. Office
seekers who are not Republicans, and who
are, therefore, excluded from Office in Ten
aessee, are raising pious howl over this
prosperity in that State, simply because they
are not fed and clothed from the public crib.
Let them howl, and let Tennessee prosper
under the benign influence of Republican
principles. The defeat of Gov Brownlow
would be a great calamity to the people of
Tennessee. We trust he may be reelected
by a majority so large that he will get tired
counting it, and that other Southern States
may soon place themselves in a condition to
prosper as Tennessee is prospecting.

yesterday. In South Ward. the Office was

evident that all the voters in the Ward can
not be registered in the time allotted for the
work
We learn that difficulty occurred at this
precinct between Major Piatt and Capt. Burr,
two of the registrars. Capt Burr was anx-
ious that the white voters should have fair
opportunity to get their votes registered, and
said that they had some rights as well as the
colored men. Some hard words, we under
stand, passed between them, and the lie was
given The settlement of the matter was adj

REPUBLICAN MEETING IN BERTHE.

On the sth day of June, Republican
meeting of the colored people of BERTHE Coun-
ty was held at White Oak Church.
Mr.. Peter Mountain was chosen Chairman,
and W. J. Coggin, Secretary.
The meeting was then addressed by Messrs.
York, Pugh, speller, Sanding, Davis, COL :;
and Coggin, white, which met with great
favor.
Messrs. Bell, white, and Mountain, COL,
offered the following resolutions, which were
adopted:
Resozced, That we endorse the platform of
principles laid down by the Republican Con-
vention, which assembled in the City of
Raleigh on the 9th March last, and that we
are proud of doing battle in the ranks of
that party on whose flag is inscribed Union,
Liberty, Equality.
Res0Iced, That the great work in which
we are engaged in restoring the old Com
monwealth to the sisterhood of States, is full
ly appreciated by us, and we pledge ourselves
to use the peaceful weapon of the ballot,
with which we have been armed by the Con-
gress, in such manner as to convince our
friends that we are worthy of enjoying liber-
ty and exercising political rights
ReSOlced, That we have confidence in the
patriotism and craftsmanship of w. W.
HOLDEN; that in him we recognise true
Republican, that bares his bosom to the
storm of disloyalty in defence of the friends
of the National government, and we request
the Congress to take steps to remove the
disability from him and other prominent
Union men, excluded under the Constitu-
tional Amendment.
ResOlDed, That these proceedings be sent
to the STANDARD for publication.
The meeting adjourned with an under
standing that there would be large meet
ing at Cashie's Meeting House near Windsor

THE ACTION OF THE pREsrDr,r

duty to be performed here which Ne oaue

Lieut. John T. Deweese, Sth Infantry, A.
G.. S., advertises, at Salisbury, for sealed pro-
posals for fresh beef for the troops from LIST
of July next We observe that Judge Brooks
has appointed John T. Deweese, Raleigh,
the Register in Bankruptcy for this District.
Is this one and the same person? We pre-
sumo not, as an officer of the army is inhibi
ted from holding civil office at the same
time.-SentineI.
1t Deweese resigned some weeks since,
but the service would not permit the accep
lance of his resignation until very recently.
Meanwhile he was appointed Register as
above stated, by Judge Brooks. Mr.. De-
weese is member of the bar, and has in
tended from the first to settle in Raleigh
In addition to his peculiar fitness for the
place, he was appointed because he can take
the test-oath, which few if any of our law
yers can do.
During "the Confederacy" some of the
Sentiners favorites were shingled over with
offices, and many of them now hold places
over the heads of loyal men from which
they ought to be elected. The Sentinel does
not like Mr. Deweese because he has earnest
ly advised our people to reconstruct the gov
eminent. He will doubtless continue so to
advise them, and the Sentinel will find after
a while that one Deweese is more than it can
handle
