A Case in Point.

We have no doubt, from information in
our possession, that poor white Republicans
and Ignorant colored people all over the
State, constantly imposed upon and
Wronged by the subordinate rebel officials,
such as Magistrates, Sheriffs, Constables,
&C. We heard of a case a day or two ago,
in which a poor white man was warranted
on bargain in which he was cheated by IL
leading rebel, his little property sold in rio-
lation of his homestead rights, his crib door
forced open without proper legal authority,
and his wife rudely handled by some ruff
fianly white rebels, because she got in the
way and refused to leave the crib door,
When the man thus wronged complained
that he could not attend the trial of the
warrant against him on which he was thus
sold out, on account of the distance he
would have had to walk, he was told that he
was able to 90 to the election to vote the
g Radical ticket"
This case, with many others, shows the
Importance of two things: First, that all
our officers, from Constable up, should be
elected by the people and secondly, that
there should be some test-oath by which only
those should hold Office who are just and
loyal, and in thorough sympathy with our
loyal people.

SINGULAR ACCIDENTAL day or two ago
a colored woman lost her ear at Hows' sugar
mill, near this city, in the following singular
manner: While the mill was in operation the
woman filed a cup with syrup and drank it,
then carelessly placed her elbow upon the
frame and reclined with her head upon her
hand; while in this situation the sweep
came around and, just grazing the side of
her head, took her ear neatly off. 1t was the
merest chance that her head was not taken

The above is the majority for Convention
in As Counties. The whole registered vote
of the State is ia, 717. 1t is necessary that
majority of this vote, to wit, 1880, shall
have been cast on the question of IL Conven-
ton. We have returns as above of 66,719
votes in As Counties. If the vote of the
Counties to be heard from should be in pro-
portion to the above 45 Counties, the whole
vote of the State on the question will not be
less than 10000. Of this number we may
calculate on 10000 to 100000 for Con-

The Greensboro Patriot is informed that
of the United States, but all judicial and
other notices of national character must he
published in the North Carolina Shtiedarl or
Ashevillc Pioneer. This is the law The
charges ale also fixed by law, and the Stan
9ard establishment in making Its charges is
governed strictly by the law. We expect no
favors at the hands of rebels or of the rebel
press. and we shall grant them none. Indeed,
if we were disposed to conccde any thing on
this score to that viciously crazy sheet, the
Greensboro Putoiot, we could not do so, for
the notices to be legA, and to pass the test
of the Court, must appear as stated either in
the Standard or Pioneer.
The ill-natured remarks of the Patriot in
relation to the Standard in connection with
this matter, are unworthy of notice How
ever it may be under State rebel rule, the
Congress Of the nation does not intend that
rebel newspapers shall enjoy any govern
ment patronage.
on Convention is still in doubt. 1t is stated
that one of the reasons of the small vote is
that sufficient number of voting places
was not established. 1t may be supposed
too that the bitter opposition of the leading
men of the State to reconstruction inclined
some of the colored people to be indiffere Mt
to the result, with the belief that better
terms would be granted them by Congress.
1t is believed that not more than 500 white
votes were cast on the question of Conven-
ton. South Carolina is rmphatically in a
bad condition, with little ground to hope
for improvement. The contrast between the
two Carolinas is very marked. There is Il
leaven of Unionism in North Carolina which
acts in an emergency, and promises the best
results.

BrOwnIOw's Militia at BristOI-Gres-
ham Finds "a Victim I'm "a COIOred
Man-POllteness Punished, etc, etc.
Correspondence of the Union and Dispatch
BRTsToL, July 5, .-Brownlow's
" melish" under Mr. Gresham are using
commendable zealin suppressing disorder,
and in restoring peace and quiet in Sullivan
county.
The negro portion of Company A."
under the immediate supervision Of Mr.
Gresham went down to Blountville, on
Monday last, TO assist Judge" % Butler
in holding court, and to overawe the unter-
rifed Jas White, the Judges" opponent
for Congress, who spoke there on that day.
The troops" on their arrival at the
town found everything perfectly quiet
Union man and Reb were mixing together
promisouously, and the best of order and
good feeling prevailed. The presence Of
the gallant" Gresham, of shoulder-strap
notoriety, and his veteran" Africans. was
entirely unnecessary. This fact was patent
to every one, and the few Radicals not vet
lost to every feeling of self-respect did not
hesitate to say, that the presence of the
militia at the holding of civil court in
Sullivan county, was a disgrace to the State.
The militia itself felt like a fish out of
water. Mr.. Gresham coming to the rescue
put the darkies TO ferretng out cases fl for
arrest and condign" punishment They
were not long in trumping up case, Of the
most atrocious character.
Old Uncle Billy Murray, a colored man
about sixty years old, was standing on the
street near the point where two Of Ores
hams blackguards were stationed whilst
there, Mr.. Hugh Fain, Radical, who had
known Uncle Billy all his life, and re-
spected him because Of his honesty and
fsithiuiness whilst a slave, and for his or
derby demeanor since, ssluted Uncle Billy
with the usual friendly and familiar salu-
tation: How are you, Uncle Billy"
Poor old Uncle Billy being recognised in
this friendly manner BY onsswhom he had
known and respected all his life, in q tone
that indicated that his greeting was not of
that cold and icy character now too COM
mon among neighbors, and in a manner be
had been accustomed to all his life. re
turned the salutation by saying "Howdy
DO. Massa Hugh?n Here was case de-
handing the immediate attention of
Mr. Gresham. The two swarthy black
guards ssizing the innocent old man in
the collar, hurried him of in the most
brutal manner TO headquarters Being
ushered into the awe-inspiring presence
OF Mr.. q. Old Uncle Billy demanded
Of his accusers the nature Of the charge
against him, when one of the guards
with the voiceof demon, said, "you Cd
d-n old fool, before We get done with YOU
We will let you know that nobody. has a
master in this country You are a pretty
d-n fool 10 be calling adm white rascal
master don't you know that's treason"
Uncle Billy thus learned the nature Of the
ohensewi which he was charged. He
simply replied that IL calling Mass Fain
'massa' was treason, he Was guilty, and that
Mr.. BrownlOw would have 10 make the
most OF IL bat you call me a fool for il
well, my colored friends, If you all don't
wish before two years you had a master.
then III be fool sure 'nough." This was

SHELBYYuLE. July s, 1867. 1.-The noble
opponent Of despotism and friend Of liberty
10 Tennessee, met our people here on Sat
urday, 9th instant The crowd numbered
At least three thousand, large part Of
which was from the colored rank and file
The Radicals, true 10 their hatred to free
discussion, had previously busted them
selves 10 endeayoring 10 prevent the
negroes from going TO hear. They succeed
ed with most Of those resident in town, but
those from the country were determined to
hear-came in large numbers, did hear,
and went away generally satisfied that
Conservatism proposed nothing but that
which makes for their go9d. The Radi-
Gals hereabouts have shown themselves as
decided enemies TO free thought a. their
masters are TO a free ballot.
Etheridge spoke between three and four
hours, and am sure | never heard better
speech in my life He appeared to be in
perfect health, voice and hlqaor, and he
outspoke himself" All classes, in
Guiding large number Of the fair women
Of the surrounding country, paid marked
attention, and if any we're dissatisfied ex-
cept a few sore headed" Radicals, we
have yet to hear the fact. 1t was a glori-
Gus days work.
After Etheridge closed, Capt. Fleming,
Stokes competitor, made short speech, in
which he skinned Stokes from his head to
his heels. Everything passed of quietly
and we'll. Bedford will give q good ac-
count Of herself in August
