Capt Sheridan, the Registrar for this
county, thinks we did him little injustice
in our issue Of last week. He thinks that
our insinuatiou that Mr.. Brink, the vouch-
or for Squire Shields, was rejected because
the applicant was not Brownlow man, is
groundless, and consequently does him in
justice.
Capt. Sheridan has always treated US
with marked politeness and courtesy, and
we will not Intentionally misrepresent him.
He says he rejected Mr.. Brink as vouch-
er on that occasion because he had not been
a citizen Of the county during the war, and
was not qualified to vouch for anybody.
We cheerfully give the Captain the ben
eft Of this statement, and if this has been
his rule all the time of his administration
here, we have nothing more to say. We
shall take the trouble to make some inqui-
ries touching this matter by next week, in
order that we may do the Captain and our
self full justice.

The Celebration in Raleigh.

We present to-day an account of the cele-
bration of the fourth of July in this City.
The meeting was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic ever held in this place. 1t was
a grand. spontaneous outpouring of the peo-
pie. No special effort was made to get up
meeting. No handbills were issued, but q
simple notice published in the Standard
If special and active efforts had been made
to get the people together, instead of five
thousand. there would have been ten thou
sand present.
The very best order prevailed. Among
the thousands present we saw none intoxica-
ted, and heard no boisterous or unbecoming
language.
We invite attention to the eloquent and
able Grafton pronounced on the occasion by
Rev. George W. Pepper, of the 10th regi-
ment. 1t will richly repay perusal.
All the speeches made upon the occasion
reflected credit upon the speakers, and were
received with enthusiastic approval.

Execution of Macmillan.

The reported execution of Macmillan by
the Mexicans has not been contradicted. He
was brave soldier, said to be magnani-
nous statesman, and an accomplished gen.
tleman. The United States plead in his be-
half, but the Mexican armies clamored for his
life and Jaurez yielded
We cannot but regret this unfortunate &C.
currence. Mexico has gained nothing by the
death OF disarmed and defenceless warrior.
He was not traitor, but the representative
of power, recognized by every civilized gov
eminent except our own, and entitled to the
protection of international law. The tri-
umph of the Mexican Republic has been
dimmed by this act, and the name of the
Austrian prince rendered heroic,

REPUBLICAN MEETING IN CALDWELL co.

According to previous notice the citizens
of Caldwell County assembled at North Ca
tawba Academy on the 18th ult., and after a
very appropriate address by s. M Mccall,
ESQ.,, the meeting was organized by calling
Rev. Thomas Craig to the Chair, and APP
pointing S. NJ Mccall Secretary.
On motion the Chairman appointed the
following gentlemen as committee to draft
resolutions expressive of the sentiments of
the meeting, viz: James Craig, ]. A. Heise,
Samuel Craig, Holland Craig, Leonard Heise,
D. w. Conway, William Bean, Levi Rector,
VIM. Smith, D. II. Griffin, (whites,) and
VIM. Berry and jackson Hearshaw, (colored
On motion the Chairman and Secretary were
added to the list.
The meeting then took a short recess after
which the committee reported the following
resolutions, which were unanimously adop-
ted: ols
Resolced, That the chief object of this
meeting is to aid by every fair and legitimate
means theearly restoration of North Carolina
to her former position in the Federal Union
upon the basis of the reconstruction plan
adopted by the Congress of the United States.
Resolced, That we, a portion of the Repub-
llcan party of Caldwell County. remember
with profound interest the valedctory of the
founder of our party-WAsHINGToN-that
Union was the greatest interest of every
true American and we will act in the flu
ture, as We have in the past, upon that adj
age.

Our copy of the Sentinel, for which we
have subscribed and duly paid, devotes much
of its space to disparaging the celebration
in this place of the fourth of July. 1t says,
a more perfect flash in the pan. for mass
meeting, has seldom occurred in the State"
Now, all our citizens know that the meeting
was great success. 1t is strange that the
Sentinel should make statement which all
lis own friends even in this place know and
feel to be unfounded.
There has been no larger assemblage in
this place since April, 1874, when Mr.. Clay
was here.

Circular from Gen. Miles.

Gen. Miles, Chief of the Bureau in this
State, has just issued the following appro-
pirate and timely Circular:
Bureau Of Refugees, Freedmen and Aban. Lands,
Headquarters Asst. Commits. Of NJ Carolina,
RALEIGH, N. c., July 1, 1867.
CIRCULAR, No. Ii.
In view of the new relations now being inau-
gurated for the development and elevation of the
colored people, and the necessity of good advice
and aid which people long accustomed to the
advantages and privileges OF free nation should
extend to those who are entering new sphere
oflife, it is considered the duty OF those whose
official positions bring them in contact with this
class to render such assistance in the work now
going on, and endeav0r, by all possible means, TO
encourage, counsel and help in the preliminaries
incident to the reimbursement OF the colored
people. SKI
The Officers and Agents of the Bureau in this
State are reminded that it is made an important
part of their work to inform all freed people of
their rights and privileges conferred upon them
BY the Government, prominent among which is
their right of suffrage.
1t is ofgreat importance that all should be duly
informed of this right and the Importance of its
exercise. They should be taught the necessity
of prompt and thorough registration, and be
assured that they will be protected and every
facility offered to carry out the intention of the
laws.
To this end Officers and Agents will use their
best efforts to thwart designing persons in any
attempt to impede registration; to prevent both
intimidations or promises in any and every guise.
1t is known that threats of violence and gross
Misrepresentation have been used in order to
deceive these people, and all such cases coming
under their notice as in any way tending to in
terfere or impede the operations of the law, will
be at once reported to these Head Quarters.
Officers and others charged with these duties
will exercise great caution in carrying out these
instructions, taking care that their advice be
tempered with Judgment and impartiality. Every
encouragement will be given to foster industry,
particularly at this season, when 80 much de-
ponds upon a proper care of crops.
These directions, to those whose duty it is to
see that all rights guaranteed by the Government
are properly enforced, must commend themselves
to each and every person interested in the gen
eral welfare and progress of all classes, and it is
hoped that they may meet with an approval
which will greatly facilitate the future welfare Of
the citizens OF the State.
