teen Inches by ten. The enamel is on a
stout gold plate, and represents the
queen seated, at half length, the arms
and hands thrown out admirably from
the black dress. Her majesty wears the
blue ribbon OF the Garter and the
George; she is represented in a Mary
Stuart cap, surnsOunted by 8 cOronet,

CoYINeToN,

For several years past, rents have
seen steadily on the increase in Coving-
ton, the owners of houses giving, as an
excuse for advancing their rates, that
the state and city taxes had been heavily
increased. Now the taxes, both state
and municipal, have been greats re.
duced-forty cents on each and every
500 valuation Of prQperty-and we shall
see whether house rents will GOMEZ down
or not. The levy just made places taxes
about as low as they were before the war,
and they will be reduced twenty-seven
cents more next year.
The city council has adopted an or
dinauce leyying a tax for the year 1887
Of ore dollar and fifty-two cents on
each and every hundred dollars of the
taxable property of the city. This is a
reduction of thirty cents per 800 as
compared with last year. The tax.
when collected, is to be applied as fol-

where be now resides, /" that the war was un-
constitutional; Congress was an inconstitu-
tional body; its acts are null and void; the
national debt is not binding slavery is not

pie not to pay another dollar OF taxes to

These are the ideas cherished by leaders
of the combined opposition, which your IN
difference in the coming election will organ
ize into new, and possibly into triumph-
ant rebellion.
Had Andrew johnson been allowed to. re-
store the traitors to their old possessions the
ten States thai seeded from the Union, with
Tennessee, Delaware, Maryland, and Ken
lucky, would now be solidly united in fa-
vor Of the reputation OF the national debt,
unless the rebel debt were added to it, and
this load would soon have been increased by
other demands not less ruinous and rcvolu-i
tionary. u The declaration of Mr.. Bright is
hardly necessary to prove q purpose cherish
ed and daily avowed by the rebel leaders in.
+ all the Southern States. But the great
measure of reconstruction foiled and forever
defeated this compound wickedness; and
now, in the example of Tennessee, we antlc-
ipate thespeedy redemption of all the States
that were led into rebellion, and the COM
plete salvation of the national credit and
revenue ia zifafeRt Gsl
i But YOU should be controlled by even
higher motives. You should remember that
six millions OF Union men in all the South,
white and black, look to you for succor and
for encouragement. Shall these, your friends
during all the dark hours of the war, loyal
when the intelligent and wealthy of their
section were proving their disloyalty in
deadly battle-shall these, the saviours and
sentinels of Union soldiers, the guardians
and defenders of the Union flag, he remand
ed to the tender mercies OF the original
traitors, and be reminded in the midst of
their sufferings that the Republicans of the
North contributed to their second betrayal +?
Do you give no thought to the thousands OF
white Unionists in North Carolina, Alaba-
ma, Virginia, and the other unIeconstructed
States? You must decide between the men
who supported and finally saved the Repub-
/, lie and those who toiled through protract-
& ed and bloody war to accomplish its de-
struction. From the moment the accident
al President deserted the former and joined
the latter the hope of giving to treason the
control of the Government was revived, and
nothing will be left undone to effect that
consummation. a4 tiz

d, The Editors of the Sentinel deny that they
defeated the nomination of 9 Workingman,
on the so-called Conservative ticket. The
whole matter is too plain for dispute. Every
intelligent person in the County knows that
the Editors of the Sentinel, with Mr.. Bledsoe
and a few OF hers, controlled the so-called
Conservative meeting, and that the Work
ingmen were deliberately sighted. # the
old Rebel, sls.veholding oligarcly had been
disposed to nominate 9 Workingman on
their ticket, why did they not take up Mr..
De Carteret, or Mr.. Clawson, or MI. David
Williams, or some other Wnrkingman with
similar views Let them answer that qpes-
ton. y They made great noise about JUS
tics to Workingmen, and then nomipated
four oligarchs, headed BY Judge Fowle.- =
This is the way they treated Workingmen
during the rebellion. They regarded them
as excellent food orspewder,E but not fit to
make laws, They saved themselves from
the battle BY, the e twenty negro law or by
snug Offices while the poor mechanic and
farmer had to fight for them or be shot down

Wake County Republican Convention.
The Republican County Convention held
in this City on Saturday last, was the largest
and the most enthusiastic ever held in Wake
County. Atleast fifteen hundred voters were
present, and the most thorough unanimity
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
meeting first assembled at the Court House,
but it was soon. found that that building
would not contain the half who were pres
ent TucKER's magnificent Hall having
been obtained, the vast mass adjourned in
good order to that place, where the Conven-
ton was organized by calling that honest
hearted patriot, William Jenks to the chair,
and appointing the usual number Of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries. s's'ts
Business was commenced by an address
from Hon. John NJ Langston, Of Ohio,
an eminent colored orator. Mr. Langston
spoke for more than an hour with unsur.
passed ability and elcquence, laying before
his audience the best exposition and de
fence Of Republican principles to which We
have ever listened. His speech produced q
fine effect, and can not fail to be productive
Of good among our people of all classes.
We point with pride to the Resolutions
adopted BY the Convention. They are such
as will meet the cordial approval Of every
true Republican from Maine to California
Ana we point with equal pride to the
candidates nominated by the Convention, all
Of whom have promptly accepted.

he do this as q State officer acting under

from the other secession candidates nomina.

they were nominated; they have not been

they will not run. The indications are that
