stead one G. L. Cobb, of Elizabeth City,
who, We believe, has nothing more to re-
commend him than successful career Of
Scalawagism. His nomination caused q
boiling on the part of the African members,

than this man Cobb. We did not learn the

AN IRArE HUSBAND AND A RAILROAD Con-
DUCTOR.-Yesterday morning, one of the
train hands of the A. & n. C. r. r., caught
the lately appointed radical conductor of
the freight train, in improper intercourse
with his wife, who came down with him on
the train. The incensed husband sprang
at the conductor, who, had he not made
would have suffered the castigation he so
richly deserved. The man then turned
upon his guilty wife, and inflicted summa-
~ punishment upon her offending person.
The result of the affair was that the con-
ductor paid man to protect him from the
infuriated husband, all the way from Tus-
carora to the city. These are the facts as
reported to u.s. Nothing else could be ex-
pected of scalawag ag.-Newbern j. Of c..
