A Thief Caught.

In the Spring of 1865. while the families of
Gen. Wade Hampton and Gen. John S. Preston,
were refugees in this town, large portion of the
family plate and jewels were concealed in re-
tired spot, the village, to protect them from
Sherman's '.bummers." The ''bummers' did
not come expected; but the concealed
valuablcs were stolen from their hiding place,
and not until few days ago, did the most vig-
liant searches avail anything towards discovery
of their whereabouts
On Saturday last, Gen. Hampton received a
telegram from Knoxville, Tennessee announcing
the arrest of one Robert McLain, with some Of
the lost valuables in his possession; and also a
statement from McLain, where the remainder
might be found.
On Tuesday evening haul was made upon
the remaining articles which were concealed in
the house Of brother, Alpheus McLain, about
three miles from this place. This property is of
very valuable character, comprising jewels and
plate, that have an untold value to the owners as
family heir looms. The actual value of the arti-
cles recovered in Knoxville and here is probably
about five six thousand dollars. Very few of
the articles yet missing and these of small
value. McLain will probably be returned to this
place for trial. He states that he found the box
containing the valuables while out hunting, a
few days after it was hidden; and having once
appropriated it, he could not command courage
enough to return it to its lawful owners Very
likely !-Iork0iNe Enquirer.

WILMINGTON & WELDON RAILRoAD.-The
annual meeting of this Company was held in
Wilmington on the 18th inst r. r. Bridgers
was reelected President, and the old Board of
Directors also reelected. We make the follow
inc extract from the Report of the President:
The gross earnings have been for the year
$3.50, 1886 SO; operating expenses, s278, 891 &C.
which gives s304, 945 81 as the estimated pro-
fits This sum is ample to pay interest debt
to set apart the necessary amount for sinking
fund to meet all wants of the Company and pay
dividend of per cent, if the road had been
in good repair and without floating debt. The
business of the year has been very good and
will compare favorably with the most prosperous
of previous years. With improvements recently
made in the line and on the completion of others
now in progress, further increase may be looked
for"
DWELLING BURNT-We regret to learn from
Mr. J. NJ. Fleming that on Wednesday evening
last, he had the misfortune while absent from
home, to have his house with the greater portion
of its contents, destroyed by fire, including about
60 bushels of corn. The fire occurred thro' the
carelessness of the negroes, who left the premises
to 90 somewhere in the neighborhood and a large
fire burning in the kitchen, from which the con-

The Conservative Meeting in Meeklenburg

In accordance with previous notice, large
number Of the citizens of Mecklenburg assem-
bled in the Court House in this city, on Tues
day, the 18th, for the purpose of nominating
Conservative candidates for the State Convention.
On motion of Capt Waring, the Convention
was organized by calling John Walker, Esq, to
the Chair, and requesting Capt. James L. John
ston to act as Secretary.
On motion, committee of eight, consisting OF
one from each election precinct, was appointed

ton suitable persons to represent the county In

William Fl Walker, | W Heron, A Todd, j r
Alexander, A B Davidson and John Beard
having retired and duly considered the matter.
reported through their chairman, Capt. Warning

confidence of their fellow-citizens. The nominal
ton was received with great applause by the
meeting, and unanimously ratified.
Capt Gluyas being present accepted the
nomination in a plain, sensible, clear headed
speech taking strong grounds against unrestricted
negro suffrage and pledging himself to the sup

the course Of his remarks to the fact that he had
been nominated last week by the Republican
party, but emphatically disclaimed any sympathy
or utilization with that party. Rev. Mr. Hunter

ton ON account of his parochial duties, but upon
the urgent solicitations from all quarters, at last
consented to accept.

Gluyas, Rev. Mr. Hunter and FL. C. Jones, Jr.
There being no further business the meeting
then adjourned.

Further Explanations about Juries.
HEADQUARTERS 2D MILITARY District,
Charleston, S. c.. Nov 8. 1867.

HEADQUARTERS I'd MILITARY DISTRICT,
Charleston S. c., Nov. 9, 1867.
HIS Ence1cncy, Jonathan Worth, Gorernor Of
North Carolina:
SIR:-I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of the 1st instant,
and to state that copies of all orders that affect
the duties of civil officers distributed in sui
fcient numbers to supply all but as it may avoid
delay in sending them direct, your suggestion
will be followed in future
General Orders No. SO stands in its original
form, except that in order to avoid delays in the
administration of justice, as stated by you orally,
and in your communication of the 10Th ult. it
was directed by General Orders No. 1O9-
Frst-That juries drawn and summoned under
the provisions Of General Orders No. 81, should
be empanneled for the trial of jury set for
trial at the next (present) ensuing term of the
county and Circuit Courts of your State.
.Second-That in drawing juries at the Fall
(present) term of the county courts for the next
term of the county and circuit courts they should
be drawn under the provisions of General Orders
No. SO, and in the manner prescribed by the
laws of the State, from the lists of all citizens cho
houe paid taxes for the current year.
The right of challenge under General Orders
No. 80 by reason of non-reg istraton, to be efec-
tive in both cases.
The third provision, you will recollect was
suggested by Gov. Orr, and was intended to pre-
vent any possible misconstruction in cases where
jures had already been empanneled under the
provisions of General Orders No. SO.
The text and intent ofthese orders is to make
every citizen who has paid taxes of any kind, and
is morally and intellectually qualified to perform
jury duty, liable to the performance of that duty
They do not interfere with the right of your
courts to purge the jury lists of persons who are
morally or intellectually disqualified, and the
phrase personally fttcd, - used in my commun-
cation to you of the 18th ultimo was intended
to convey the idea that this 'purgation" should
be graded by the intellectual and moral fitness
of the persons on the jury lists and not by their
complexion or their poverty. l supposed, from
your letter of the 10Th ultimo that you so I'M
derstood the order If any of the courts have
| failed to draw juries in accordance with these
provisions, special term will be necessary.
To guard against any further delays, l will
send copy of this letter to the chairman of
| each of the county courts, and to the judges
| of the circuit courts.
Very respectfully, sir, your obi serv't,
ED. r. S. CANDY,
Bv't Maj. Gen, CONG.

Washington Items.

From the views of members of Congress who
have been i'll Washington recently. and others
now In the city, it appears that there is strong
probability that the tax cotton will be repeal
ed shortly after Congress convenes. The pres
sure in favor of this repeal in all directions of
the North from influential citizens is almost
irresistible.
1t is ascertained from reliable source that
the Government will be ready to proceed with
the trial of Mr. Davis on the 25th. Both sides,
however, desire that Chief Justice Chase shall
preside with Judge Underwood, and therefore it
is possible that the trial may be postponed for
short time to enable Chase to make arrangements
to preside. Legal considerations alone prompt
the desire that the two Judges should sit on the
case.
Thad Stevens has written five column letter
opposing National Banks and adding that, while
the interest is payable in coin the bonds can
honestly be liquidated with legal tenders
Gen. Emory has disbanded the unauthorized
military organizations in the District
Capt. J. n. Mafftt is here, waiting for his
confscated property.
There is considerable wireworking going on
here with reference to the next Presidency. and
there seems to be plot on the part of some ex-
deiHc copptfHcauS 10 eHtTap UeH Urant INTO
the expression of some views which will warrant
the democrats in hosting his name as a candidate
or else get him thoroughly committed to radical
measures, so they can attack him, which they
think they can do successfully under the pres
tige which the recent elections have given the
democratic party. The prospects of this little
game are not very brilliant, however
Judge Chase is quoted as saying that he is
more Radical in name than fact, and as COM
planning that he has indiscreet friends.
1t has been ascertained officially that James
A. Seldom, late Secretary of War of the Confed-
eracy, has been pardoncd by the President, upon
the recommendation of leading radicals, among
whom were Horace Greeley, Henry Ward
Beeeher, Gen Burnside and Hon VIM 4 DODGE.
A word of advice respecting pardons. Doubt
less the President intends especially to pardon
the mass of those exempted by his amnesty proc
lamation; but personal opportunities will not
hasten his action. Decidedly the more prudent
course is to permit applications to take their reg
ular course except in cases where vital interests
can be shown to demand immediate attention
and decision.
