THE FoRM OF VOTING.

Although the election for delegates to the Con-
vention will have taken place before this paper Is
generally circulated throughout the District we
deeniit important to state that the commanding
General has decided that only the votes endorsed
"For" or "Against Convention" will be counted.
The law has heretofore been fairly stated in these
columns, and there is nothing therein contained to
warrant the construction now made.
!. The editor of the Wilmington On. e. Journal ad-
dressed note to Eient.. CAzIARo. asking informa-
ton respecting right Of voter to cast ballot
simply for delegates, without any;endorsement and
that official replied s:that the Acts of Reconsruc-
{fon leave no discretion,as to the subject. Only
those votes for delegates which conform to the Acts
Of Congress BY being inscribed either sfor Con-
vention,'' or ..aganst Convention, can be count
ed in the canvass of votes"
= This settles the question distinctly, and proves
that the military authorities are determined to al
low no opportunity of defeating the Radical scheme
of reconstruction. Che whites Of North Carolina
can therefore, defeat this measure only by keeping
away. from the polls altogether, while there is no
possible chance to prevent its success in this State,
so far as the ordering of Convention is concerned.

which is good. We recommend Mr.. BAILEY and his

is satisfied with their first visit. How many are

srNAToRIAL CONTEST. Dispositions
were taken on Wednesday last, at the
Court House in this city, in the con-
test Of Henry NJ. Onderdonk against
Homer G. Jones for the office OF Sen
ator in this District. About 20 Ne
proes were examined, all Of whom
swore positively that they voted the
Radical ticket, and for Mr.. Jones. 1t
seems to us that Mr.. Onderdonk is
making clear case, and we think ne
will, beyond doubt, secure his seat
in the Senate. The taking of deposit
tions was adjourned to this (Friday@

is worthy of note that while General
Hayes majority in this District is 105,
that of Mr.. Homer G. Jones for Sena-

the vote we find that Mr. Jones runs
behind the Radical State ticket in
every. county, while Mr.. Onderdonk,
his competitor, runs ahead Of the
Democratic State ticket in Lawrence
and Meigs, and falls but three short
in Gallia and Finton. Had heInegro
votes been refused, as they should
have been, by the Judges Of the elec-

THE telegraph reports that the trSa-
sury department commenced Friday,
the 1st inst, to pay out gold to the
amountof twenty millions, interest on
the $50 bonds. The chink OF this
oId-fashioned metal must have glad
dened the bondholders' hearts. They
were there in troops, and went off
laden with the shining solid coin.
These things awaken reflection ~
While greenbacks are the legal cur.
rency, bondholders get gold. They
get more, they get protection without
taxation, and while the brave soldiers
receive their pay in greenbacks, the
merchant, mechanic, and laborer are
content to receive them in payment
of debts and wages. 1t is well that
reflection is suggested. Let the peo-
pie keep thinking and then act, Ii
greenbacks are good enough for the
people, unless bondhoIders are not
people, we know no reason why they
should ask a more valuable currency.
Let us have the same kind Of currency
for everybody, if gold, pay us all in
gold; if greenbacks, pay us all in
greenbacks. .--Springfeld Qll) State

Our SENAToR.-As it is conceded
by the leading Radicals that Mr..
Jones can not possibly hold his seat
as Senator against the contest of Mr..
Onderdonk, some of them are looking
around for a new dodge to save their
candidate. The latest we hear of ia
an effort to get Mr.. Jones to resign,
and have the Governor, who is Rad
ical, order new election. We wonld
simply ask what Mr.. Jones has to re-
sign? He is not legally elected and
therefore he can not resign the office,
for into that he is not, and never will
be installed He may resign his GER
tJfcate of election by way of a flyer,
in which case we opine Mr.. Onder.
donk will walk into the Senate with.
out debate. The resigning dodge
won't work under the circumstances
We can assure these Radical gentle.

can get up another election, they will

thing looked nice! The shelves
were full, pile after pile lay up
on the counter, and box after

The House was crowded with
men, women, and children-all
looking at and buying the new

every thing and astonished at
the low prices! We can assure

nothing about the one-sided' taxation

a day or two ago that the zaleski Co.
had "backed down, and that the tax
alton question was dead The 81 lots
which the Co. manage to own and

on, are probably 'dead," too. What

and stopped at the Lindsley House,
kept by Mr., D. DUNCAN. This Hotel
which has become SO popular under
the supervision of the gentlemanly
Proprietor, who has thoroughly retit'

accommodation as can be had in any
part of the State. The table is
always supplied with all good eatables
The establishment, in all its depart
ments, is neat, clean and inviting. :
Located as it is in the most central
part of the town and near the Rail
road Depot makes it convenient fol
business men and all others who may
have occasion to visit the town.
