disputes of the recent short-lived war, all
tend to involve other nations than the i'm
mediate disputants into this new difficult
ty Although it is announced that Prussia
does not intend actively to assist her for
mer ally against France, we doubt very
much if BISMARCK can quietly sit by and
witness the unequal contest between ner
powerful rival and Italy. If no direct aid
be given, the designs of Prussia upon South
Germany will be advanced, and while France
is engaged in her war with Italy, she may
emerge from it to find the unity of Germa-
ny complete and the success of Prussia es
tablished.
We look for terrific struggle to grow
out of these complications, to be succeeded
by new combinations and alterations of
European boundaries, in which Rome is to
become the capital of Italy, and Prussia to
be advanced and France to retrogade in the

Matters IN RobesOn.

We have received letter from Mr.. 0. S.
Hayes, one of the Radical candidates for
the Convention in Robson county, under
cover of one from an esteemed friend,
which entities it to consideration from us,
complaining of the misrepresentation in
regard to himself by our correspondent.
We will never, unwillingly do any one an
injustice, and very cheerfully publish Mr..
Hayes denial that he is one OF SHERMAN S
Bummers." Our friend also writes that
Mr.. Hayes has sufficient evidence to prove
that he was not with Sherman's army, but
was stationed in Ohio, in the service of that
State. We therefore must conclude our
correspondent was III error in regard to
him.
In these days Of political degeneracy and
corruption, it gives us pleasure to see one
who has even lowered himself to an afilia-
ton with Parson Sinclair jealous of being
charged with associations more degrading

The Mark Lane (EngliRh) Express no
tees the advance in the price of wheat in
the leading corn markets of Europe, re-
marking as follows:
France, Belgium and Holland again note higher
prices, as well as Dancing and several German
markets; but for delivery there are occasional
symptoms OF weakness. New York quotes d lower
range for some descriptions of flour and spring
wheat, but not enough to encourage shipments,
though the altered state of the British markets
would make consiSnments now pay that would
have previously left heavy loss. " G have yet to
see what effect our present rates will have upon

The London Times of October 18th, has
the following in its Paris letter relative to

"Advices from the different corn markets of

ReIiSfCE-RR0IS

We hope no citizen, who has not here
tofore registered, will fail to do so during
the five days for which the lists will be
opened for q final revision. Beginning
with Tuesday, the 9Th instant, for five days,
in the several counties throughout the
State, our people have the last opportunity
of placing their pames upon the registra-
ton lists. It is equally as important to re-
gister, if it is not desired to vote, as if the
right was to be exercised. Momentous
questions-questions involving the rights
of persons and property, tho continued
domination of the white race, nay, involv-
ing life and death, may, and probably
will be, in issue before the great matter of
Reconstruction is definitely and finally set
tied.
Indifference to the result in the first
election does not follow that a similar in
difference will be felt in the next, and the
next. But failure to register now, may pre-
vent the right to vote then. If the people
were fully aroused to the great Importance
of registration, the white majority in tho
State would be greatly increased. The
fate of Tennessee, the gloomy prospects of
Virginia and Georgia, in all of which States
the whites have majority, are sufficient
warnings to our own people, and If we do
not profit by their example, we will be
guilty of a criminal neglect from which we
will be the greatest sufferers.
Many persons were improperly refused
registration at the former sessions Of the
Boards. Militia officers, of whom there
are quite number throughout the State,
were generally denied the right to regis
ter Many did not even apply on account
of the ill-success of others. A direct order
from District Headquarters admits to re-
gistration this class of persons, unless they
served as patrols. No militia officer, as
such, performed such duties in North Car
olina, consequently none are disfranchised
Let all of them apply, and demand, if ne
cessary, the privilege of having their names
entered upon the lists. Let the white ma
iority in the State be increased to yet safer
figures. 1t can be done, and those who
neglect to do their duty in this important
crisis may soon have abundant reason to
regret their course.

which include territory in Maryland, the
District of Columbia, and the Valley of
Virginia, extending nearly to the Tennessee
line. Delegates were also admitted from
the independent Methodist churches with
In the bounds Of the Conference. TTnon
motion OF DIR. S. FL. Williams, all visiting
ministers IN attendance were. regarded as
active members of the Convention. Upon
motion of Rev Alpheus Wilson, q commit
tee OF one from each Conference district
and from the independent churches was
appointed to effect a permanent organiZa-
tlon; and after q consultation the Conven-
ton reported the following for permanent
officers, and they were elected: President,

port of the Business committee was then
presented and accepted. Rev. [. Z. Fin
ley submitted constitution, which was
referred to the business committee. DR..
5. ii. Williams presented Il series of rcso-
lutions, which were adopted, declaring it
expedient to establish q Sunday School

details. An adjournment then took place
until Monday morning On Sunday Bish-
op Doggett preached to the Convention at

We regret to learn that two Or three days
since a difficulty occurred between Jabez
Quinn and Henry Mutt, employees in the
shops of the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad, at Laurinburg, which
terminated in the severe and supposed
fatal stabbing of Quinn. The unfortunate
man was not dead yesterday when the cars
left, but no hopes of his life were enter
tanned. Mutt made good his escape, and is
now at large.
On account of the resignation Of the

Royal Arch Chapter of North Carolina,

DIR. CARR is extensively known as ono of the
brightest and most prominent Masons in the
State, and Judging from the interest which
he gives to the present number Of the ia
so,aic SIN, there will be few members Of tho
craft who will be satisfied to be without
the monthly visits Of the paper. The
editor is one of the best Masonic students
and scholars in North Carolina, and his
own requirements, with his intimate ac-
quaintarce with the opinions Of all leading
Masons will make his paper Il reliable text

The editorials of the present number
evince ability, and relate to practical sab

Bansshment Of White Men from v,rr,n,.

The first active exercise of sovereignty
by the blacks of the South has!occurrred in
Virginia, the proudest of the Southern
States and the mother of Presidents " in
the days of old. The negroes, having car
RED the city of Richmond in the constitu-
tlonal election, have followed up their vic
tory by the organization of vigilance
committee" and have ordered two white
citizens who opposed their ticket to leave
the State within forty-eight hours They
will doubtless obey the command, as re-
fusal would cost them their lives. A black
mob is not likely to stop short in career
of violence. We suggest that the banished
whites be invited to visit New York and
that a grand public reception be rendered
to them. They will excite more enthusi-
asm than the martyred Stanton, and, as
the pioneer victims of negro rule, deserve
a demonstration. NEW York Herald.

Tax ON Cotton.

Nothing but the most suicidal fanaticism
and sectional persecution can prevent Con-
gress at an early day in its session to re-
peal the tax on cotton. The SoutiI rays
twenty-five to thirty millions of dollars
as a tax upon this article alone, but an
inconsiderable portion of which reaches the
Public Treasury. The numbers employed
and the machinery used in its collection,
even where honestly directed and account
ed for, consumes a great portion of this
stupendous tax upon our people.
We have received an able and carefully
prepared memorial to be signed by our
citizens, to be presented to Congress, for
the repeal of this tax, accompanied by the
following letter:
