A United States Soldier Falls Heir to g.
Scotch BarOnetcy and Five Thousand
Pounds a Year.
Two years ago, Hugh Crawford Pollock
a young gentleman then about twenty wears
old, suddenly disappeared from his home
in Scotland, much to the dismay of his rela-
tives and acquaintance. It subsequently,
became known that he had come to this
country with five hundred pounds in his
pocket. He sported about New York and
other cities until his funds commenced TO
run short, when, in fit of desperation. he
enlisted in the fifth United States cavalry
as a private soldier, and in this humble 90,
pacity struggled against hardships and
deprivations to which he had been who'll
| ~ unused. In the meantime his
father died some four months AGO, Ieov.
ing Hugh heir to barOnetcv and .
snug little income of $4,000 Der annnm
or about $25, 900 in gold The Young ba,
ronet was duly sought for, and after an ev.
penditure of $500 in advertisements il was
ascertained that he was stationed M Camn
Verde, Texas, dischargiug the duties Of
farrier. Col. William S. Hillyer. of New
York, who became interested in The case
induced Sir Frederick Bruce to procure the
discharge of Pollock, which was PROMPTLY
acceded to by General Grant. The voun%
Sir Hugh Crawford Pollock has, therefore.
been telegraphed for, and has given M
the occupation of sheer and curer Of hor.
ses to enter upon O. Scotch baronetcy and
Go, 600 year. Such is life.

Trial.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Col. N1essmore, it
is well understood, will resign IL Il short
time his position of deputy commissioner
of internal revenue and chief ex oflicio of
the New York revenue board. In tine
meantime Col. Welswell's friends are in
dustriously urging him for the office 1t
is thought by some that he will not be sue
cessful, but that some other person who
has not been publicly named may get the
place. The President has no authority in
the matter as the law authorizes the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury to make the appoint
ment.
Another visit from Philadelphia politi-
clans was made to the White House and
the Departments to-day, the purpose being
to urge the removal of certain minor Off
GERS alleged to be actively opposing the
Democratic ticket No definite result is
known.
It has been telegraphed hence that the
Jefferson Davis case was considered in Cab
met yesterday. [ am authorized to say
that the statement is untrue. The trial of
Mr.. Davis is wholly under control Of the
United States Circuit Court of Virginia
and the District Attorney. The Admins
tration has not interfered with the matter
in any form recently.
The President has appointed Charles W.

DEMOCRATIC Convention.

WORCESTER, October 1.-The Massachu-
sets Democratic State Convention met this
morning. There are about 800 delegates
present. H. G. Parker, of Cambridge, was
chosen president of the Convention. A
vote was passed to nominate candidate
for Governor by ballot.
WORCESTER, October l, evening. This
afternoon John Quincy Adams, of Quincy,
was nominated by large majority. The
nomination was received with much enthu-
siasm, and subsequently made unanimous.
George M. Stearns, of Chicopee, was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor. The
committee on resolutions submitted q re-
port, which was adopted. The first reso-
luton afirms the doctrine of State
rights. The second demands economy in
the administration of the government
The third denounces Congressman for
passing unconstitutionallaws The fourth
expresses a doubt of the republicans hay
ing sympathy for soldiers. The fifth pro-
claims the doctrine that American citizens
when abroad shall not be subject to arrest
for words spoken at home. This was re-
ceived with shouts from Fenians. The
sixth promises the cooperation OF the dem
ocrats of Massachusetts, in an uprising
throughout the country. The seventh eX-
presses alarm at the increase of the State
debt. The eighth endorses the labor move
ment. The ninth declares that the demo-
cratic party is opposed to any infraction Of
individual right and the enforcement Of
the law through the espionage of paid spies
as infamous. The resolutions were sever
ally, and as whole, adopted.

the Standard, and the reported figures are

the Standard, and the reported figures are
the same.
In the list as published, we find all the
counties embraced in the Military Post of
Wilmington, except Columbus. W. pub
lished yesterday full official returns from
tary Post, and we find that the figures as
reported in the Raleigh papers are very
wide of the official returns, and with the
exception of New Hanover, against the
whites. In Brunswick there is a white
majority Of Is, instead of a negro majority
of 60 in Baden the white majority is 43,
while negro majority of 327 is published ;
in Robson the whites have q majority Of
POS and not $50 in Dupiin the majority
for the whites is 1913 instead OF, and in
Sampson the whites exceed the negroes
500, instead of the negro majority Of 81, as
reported In New Hanover the blacks
have majority of 1 ,344, instead Of l,243.
It will thus be seen that in these six coun-
ties there is an error of LOSE against the
whites This is owing to the fact that most
of the counties are reported from the first
visit Of the Board of Registrars, while al
most universally large majority OF those
who registered at the second board were
whites Ii anything like similar errors e2-
list in the published list in other countess
the white majority will go above twenty
five thousand, as almost all the counties yet
i,,i 10 WI
whites very largely preponderate. These
figures leave much to hope for. While the
white people are in a minority III Now
Hanover, in the State their lnajorityis sui
fcient to save North Carolina from the
schemes of the plunderers and pro3crp-
tionists Of the white and black Convention.
Most of the Southern States are hopelessly
in the hands Of the negroes, and the poIltl-
cal banl1rupts and characterless adventur-
ers who control them, but with us, the
whites have only to unite, and our State
can be saved from the doom in store for
many of her sisters. Let rs then deter
mine that the plottingso OF bad men, for our
ruin and their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, shall
be defeated let us unite to save the State
from negro supremacy and white vassalage.
Do not let Indifference upon the question
of Convention or opposition thereto, pre-
vent our supporting good men to seats in
that body. Above all, watch closely the
labors of the Convention, and condemn at
the ballot-box any and all amendments to
the Constitution, going beyond the actual
demands of Congress for our readmission
to the Union. Let us thus act, and North
Carolina may be saved from the fate OF
Tennessee-'s consummation devoutly tc

THE LAST COUNCIL BOARD
IN Tile
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
BY EDWARD A. POLLARD.

1t has been generally written and con-
sidered that the Southern Confederacy per-
ished IN Il very unlnterestlng manner; that
there was no dramatic catastrophe, such as
is generally supposed to terminate the
great games of war and empire. It is true
there was no final scene of arms common
surate with the space and action of the
war--no great and multitudinous battle to
mark and illuminate the end of an empire
that more than half million bayonets had
once borne on their crest of steel. It was
the fiat conclusion, the termination almost
without interest or dignity, of a great con-
test, the Inspiration and vitality Of which,
on one side, had been spent long before
the final stroke Of arms revealed the emp
tiness of the structure and brought it to
the dust. The conclusion, indeed, is the
most curious part of the history of the late
war. At single affair Oh the Petersburg
lines, that took place in the hours of a
spring morning, the casualties of which
were counted by hundreds, the whole
structure of the Southern Confederacy gave
| way-the great decorous pillar of Virginia,
wreathed with victories, fell, and then the
broad and grand military sections, one by
one: the department of the Carolinas and
Georgia, commanded by Johnston the
Southwestern States, commanded by Tay-
ZOE tDe trauS-MlSSlSSlppl, commanded Oy
Smith, these last almost without trial of
arms, or single incident of real and de-
termined conflict
A mighty empire passed away as the
baseless fabric of dream. The gates of
Richmond, in the approaches to which
| more than half million men had strug-
gled in sight OF which battles of bloodiest
| volume had been fought, until the very
ground about it had been kneaded with
human flesh, at last were open to the enc
my, without even a sentinel to challenge
the insolent invaders. Forty Massachu-
setts cayalrymen, without let or hindrance,
| rode into its streets, and planted their gui-
dons on the capitol. It was as the end of
! that empire which the historian Gibbon has
described as quickly and grandly founded
by Rienzi, Is the last of the Roman Tri-
| bunes;" which assembled and increased to
the astonished gaze of mankind until the
| vain inflated Tribune brandished his sword
to the four parts of the world, exclaiming,
''this, too, is mine ;" but which, at last,
enervated by disagreement and de-
bauched by party, persisted riserably as in
night. cat the head of one hundred and
| fifty soldiers, the Count of Minorbino in
troduced himself into Rome barricaded
the quarter of The Golonna and found the

White Majority in the State.

We have stated upon several occasions,
apparently in the face of the returns to the
contrary. that the white majority in the
State would be about twenty-five thousand.
We are still of this opinion, although the
Sentinel of the I'd instant, publishes returns
from upwards of sixty counties, in which the
whites exceed the blacks by less than eight
thousand, while its calculations are that
this majority will be doubled in the remain
ing twenty-four or five counties, being for
the most part situated in the West. The
Standard of the Sd instant, contains returns
from sixty-four counties, in which the
white majority is 1895. We suppose the
returns of both papers embrace the same
counties, with the addition of one or two
more received in time for the later issue OF

An Owner for Stolen Property Wanted.

A friend, says the Southern Opinion,
writes us from Shawnee, johnson county,
Kansas, asking information Of q family
named Radclitf, who during the war, re-
sided in or near Columbus, North Carolina
The writer says Yankee soldier in Shaw
nee, who was with Sherman III his raid
through the South, has in his possession a
captured ring, and claims to have bought
the Jewel from the man who first captured
it. The ring is describedas a very valuable
family relic, apparently of gold, large and
heavy, intended for gentleman's fore
finger. On the inside is engraved, "Mrs.
Eliz. Radclif, died Dist February, 1890,
aged rs years and 6 months" On the out.
side, set in gold, is lock of hair, under
glass plate, the whole surrounded by cir
Gle of pearls. The gentleman who seeks
this information and communicates these
facts, promises, upon receipt Of the certi-
ficate OF ownership, to purchase the ring
from its present possessor, and forward 1t
to the family, upon the single condition
that the receiver shall pay express charges,
he generously contributing the cost in aid
ing the restoration of the jewel into the
rightful hands.
Any person having knowledge of the
family inquired after, will please commu-
nicate with the editor of the Opinion, who
holds the address of the writer of the letter
referred to.

to accept his views, and animate their men
to stand to the good cause, whose honor
they had so long maintained, and whose
last hopes they now carried on their bay
onets.
His auditors were silent. At length
they spoke, one by one, each brigade
commander stating the condition and tenn
per of his men, and declaring his views Of
the situation. It was a plain, unanimous
| Judgment: the war could not succeed and
should not be prolonged; they could not
ask their men to struggle against fate
which was inevitable and forfeit all hopes
of restoration to their homes and friends;
but they would insist that their honor was
involved in securing the escape Of Mr..
Davis, and for the accomplishment OF this
object they would risk battle, and put off
submission to the last moment.
Ono, no." exclaimed the unhappy chief,
in passionate accents, Ct will hear of no
plan which has for it's object only my safe
| ty." Then speaking slowly and bitterly,
with deep and fearful change settling on
his countenance, he said: "All hope is
gone ! Alas, that should see the day
when ali the friends of the South are pre-
pared to consent to her degradation. He
| faltered, and sat down in silence; every one
in the room respected him too much to re-
ply.
Presently, without even Il gesture of
courteous retirement, without any acknow
| ledgment Of the company whatever, he rose
to leave the room and it was observed that
he had lost his erect carriage and defiant
port. A weight of years appeared to have
suddenly fallen on the stricken sufferer.
The eyes were uneasy in the pale, pinched
face; and SO uncertain and lettering was
his step that General Breckenridge moved
to his side, and, giving him his arm, sup
ported him from the room. Not a single
word was spoken.
1t is true and delicate philosopher who,
exploring a scene of despair, says: "The
sentiment that attends the sudden revela-
ton that all is lost is silently gathered up
into the heart It is too deep for gestures
or for words. The voice perishes, the ges-
lures are frozen, and the spirit of man flies
back upon It's own centre"
