INTERESTING CONCERNING VOLUNTARY
BANKRuPrs-An important decision affect
ing the status of voluntary bankrupts was
rendered ON Wednesday in the United States
District Court at New York, by Judge
Blatchford, 1t appears that one Charles
G. Patterson, after filing his petition in
bankruptcy, borrowed $4,000. When he
was examined before the registrar the cred
itors on his schedule questioned him about
the loan. and he declined to answer on the
ground that they had no right to inquire
about property acquired by him after the
commencement of the proceedings in the
matter of his bankruptcy. The registrar.
however. overruled the objection, and the
question was certified to Judge Blatchford.
In the course Of Il very elaborate opinion,
covering the whole ground his Honor holds
that when an adjudication is made, the
following the filing of Il petition then it is
judiciously established that the proceedings
in the case commenced when the petition
was filed The date of such salaries then
become the date from which the assignee
takes all the property of the bankrupt, which
was his property at that date. Such date
also becomes the date at which the debt
must be due or exist in order to be provable.
Such date also becomes the date ut which
prOvable debts must have existed in order
to be discharged. In other words, the filing
of petition, by or against debtor, is the
date at which, if an adjudication of bank
ruptcy follows, the old order of things passes
away, and a new leaf is turned over"

SCATTERING BRANDs.-We are sorry to
see that the Richmond journal called South
ern Opinion is publishing a "black list"
which consists of those men who voted the
Republican ticket at the late election in Vir
ginia. There can be but little hope for the
era of good leeling or real peace, while a
course so thoroughly mischievous and suici-
dial is followed by journals protesting to rep
resent public sentiment. For, while neither
Congress nor the people of the North are by
any means lost to all sense of charity and
Justice toward the South, they will not
witstanding, hardly sit complacently and
5milingly down and see their friends and adj
herents in that section ostracised and made
,dious-if so foolish a course can make
hem so; and the sooner this fact is realized
The better for all concerned.
We know it may be truly said that these
ncendiary sheets do not reflect the public
ceiling but it may and will be as truly an
;wered that they nevertheless have clrcu-
Iation, and receive in some way or other
living support and this fact is damaging
one. The better judgment of the Southern
people should promptly frown down the
criminal offenders.-Ece. Post.

The True Basis of Success.

The chief cause of the brilliant victory
Just achieved in Craven may be explained
on two very important grounds.
First, A faithful and consistent adherence
to the plan of reconstruction laid down by
Congress andss the legitimate objects and
purposes of the Republican party.
Second, A full and complete organization
of the Republican party in every Election
Precinct throughout the County.
A good cause, with its friends cooperating
together in a proper spirit and with a
mutual good understanding, can scarcely
ever fail to triumph.-Nesobern Republican.
The same is true as to Wake and other
Counties. No party was ever more thor
oughly organized than the Republican party
of Wake. This organization must be
maintained as the surest means of future
success.

LIME AROUND APPLE TREES. We have
known farmers to make it regular prac-
tice for succession of years, to throw caus-
tic lime around their apple trees in the
spring and summer We once noticed that
a tree standing in the immediate vicinity of
our dwelling had, all at once, put forth with
renewed energy, and we were at loss for
some time to define the cause. On examin-
alton, we found that quantity of lime,
which had accidentally been spilled and rem
dered worthless by becoming mixed with
the refuse of the stable floor, had been
thrown at the foot and around the tree, and
to this, as the principal cause, we immedi-
ately accredited it, and purchased twelve
casks of lime, and applied half bushel to
each of the trees in our orchard, and found
that it produced Immediately beneficial ef-
fects. Not the health of the trees only, but
the quality of the fruit also, was greatly
improved. This application, will be espe-
cially beneficial in soils where there is a re-
dundancy of vegetable matter. We would
advise our farmers, in some places, especial

Three Cheers for Lexington
Fraud in the Elections.


The Sentinel charges that Republicans
''practiced fraud" in the late elections, bus it
furnishes no proof to substantiate its charges
We might fill columns of our paper with
instances of fraud on the part OF the Rebels
in the late election. We have room to-day
but for two of these instances. At precinct
in Orange Cedar Grove,) the polholders told
the colored people they could not vote
unless they paid their taxes. This case Will
be investigated by Colonel Bomford.-
In this City tickets were printed at the Sen
tinel Office, and circulated by white persons,
containing the names of Williams, Harris,
Andrews and F0aole. Several OF these tick
cts were palmed off on colored men who
could not read the object being to ring In
votes for Gen. Fowle. We omit for the pre-
sent the names of the white gentlemen who
did this, but the Sentinel knows all about it
and was party to it. The Sentinel has found
by experience, what we told it in our last IS
sue, that the hardest persons in the world to
deceive are the colored people. They are
always "wide awake and duly sober"
We learn that at Oak Grove, In this
County, venerable and worthy citizen,
Rowland Gooch, Esq, was grossly 1nsulted
by some rebels because he voted the Repub-
lican ticket. Mr. Gooch was a pollholder
at Hayes Store, and went on Wednesday to
Oak Grove to vote He was very grossly
abused, and would no doubt have been
beaten but for fear of consequences. We
learn that one of the pollholders and the
clerk of the polls took part in deriding and
abusing Mr.. Gooch. We got these facts
from Mr.. Gooch's son. This case will also
no doubt be Investigated.
q 1t is fact that every case of well-authen-
ticated fraud, and every outrage perpetrated
at the elections, lies at the door of the So

Grand Republican Triumph in N. C.
A Large Majority of Republican Dele
gates Chosen to the Convention!
The State Republican by $4,000!
LOYAL MEN MUST RULE!
BETTER TINES AHEAD FOR ALL !!

The people of North Carolina voted on
Tuesday and Wednesday last for and against
a Convention, and for one hundred and
| twenty delegates to a Convention, under the
reconstruction acts of Congress. The enc
mics of reconstruction, led by their ablest
men, and having control of the State, the
County, and the Town governments, and of
three-fourths of the press of the State, fought
with the utmost desperation, and pandered
to every passion and prejudice, and persua-
ded, and denounced in every conceivable
way to defeat the Republicans; but the lat
ter, relying on Truth and Justice, and stim-
ulated by a noble love of Liberty, have
achievd gloriously overwhelming victory.
We have no time to-day to review the
campaign, or enter into the details of the
struggle. 1t is sufficient to state that it is
considered certain that the Republicans
have carried EIGHTY of the one hundred
and twenty members of the Convention, and
that the people have voted by FIFTY
THOUSAND majority for a Convention.

pride at the game Fowl of Liberty at the

inception ofa grand and sumptuous festival
in the United States which is intended to
surpass that held three years ago in one of

morning in the columns of the World. The

ties, with those of this and other American
cities. in securing an assemblage of at least
one hundred thousand gymnasts, sharp
shooters, musicians and vocalists in New
York next June. Encouraging replies are
received from Europe. The German steam
ship companies intimate their willingness to
aid the scheme by reduced fares. lIilard's

ONE HouR WIrH THEE.

One hour with thee, when none are near
To mar its golden tidei
o then thou seemest to me more dear
Than aught in Heaven beside.
On angels wings the moments glow,
Like stars of radiant light,
Unmindful that their rapid flow
Fast speeds approaching night.
One honr with thee, when sorrows gush
O'erfiows my troubled soul
Like some rcsistless rivers rush,
Which seeks q fatal goal
That hour dispells the rayless gloom
And sheds halo bright,
As roseate rays of blushing morn
Disperse the darkest night.
One hour with thee when shadows fall
Across my checlered path,
Thy smiles illume thy angry pail,
And gilds their turbid wrath.
One hour with thee when bitter woe,
Pervades my dreary heart,
1t seems like Heav'n on earth below,
1t doth such joy impart.
And when the hour of death draws nigh,
I'd have thee by my side,
To cheer the moments as they fly,
Oflife's expiring tide.
To gaze into my languid eye,
And press my cheek with thine,
To iull my bosom's faintcst sigh,
And blend thy prayers with mine.
Oh when l thus to death shall bow,
While yet one breath remains,
I'll pledge, for thine my dying vow,
To meet in Heaven again.
United there, I'll constant prove,
And breathe but one refrain,
To bask in thy angelic love,
And bless thy hallowed name.

Every fire-tried white Republican in the
State feels grateful to the colored people for
the frmness and unanimity with which they
have stood by the Republican cause. Our
colored friends have shown themselves wor-
thy, not only by the remarkable propriety of
their behaviour in the campaign and at the
election, but they have demonstrated to the
world that they are possessed in high de-
gree of that chief requisite to manhood and
citizenship, to wit, firmness and determina-
ton of character. No people in any civil
contest have ever met and overcome greater
temptations than they have. They have
been equally unmoved by artifce, trickery,
falsehood, persuasion, offered bribes' and
threats. They are poor and landless, but the
rich oligarchs could not succeed in buying
more than one of them in ten thousand
They have preferred the jewel of liberty to
every thing else.
Without the aid of the colored voters it
would have been impossible to reconstruct
the government ON loyal basis; and with
out that aid, every FIRE tried Unionist III this
State would have been this day under the
iron heel of merciless Rebel power. Let our
white Republican friends remember this. and
let us keep faith to the uttermost with the
loyal colored people who have given us their
votes, and who would pile up their bodies,
if necessary, as sacred offering to the cause
of Liberty, Union, and political Equality.
The leaven of the Heroes of America.
which was formed in this State in 1868, laid
the foundation for the Leagues and the
Leagues, with the Heroes, have been mainly
instrumental in securing to the Republicans
their glorious victory. Without the Leagues
our success would have been doubtful. No
wonder our opponents were so bitter against
these loyal organizations. Let US continue
to cherish and extend them. We will need
them in future elections. Let no true Re
publican abate one jot or little of interest
in public affairs. The State is not yet re-
constructed Much work is yet to be done.
Our new Constitution is still to be ratified;
