NEGRO JURORS. incident occurred in
county not thousand miles from here. q
few days since, which illustrates the capaci-
ty of the oman and brother" for the intel
hgent and upright discharge of jury duty.
The case involved was civil suit. One Of
the parties to the suit had refused, some
time previous, to credit certain negro on
the jury for some trifing articles. Tie
negro had succeeded in obtaining credit
from the other party. After the trial was
over the negro juryman approached the
man who had refused him credit, and
boosted that he had revenged himself for
the refusal by voting against verdict in
his favor Sweet land of hberty,-to
thee. &c.-Ral. Sentinel
Gov. WoRTH.-While in Raleigh last
week, we spent Il pleasant half hour in con-
versation with our venerated Governor
upon various topics and felt edited by his
frank manner and freedom from ostenta-
ton, which in some besets official dignity.
Gov. Worth is one of the people, and with
him the humble and the great, the rich
and the poor, alike share his consideration
the best index of kind heart and noble
mind. We were pleased to observe that
his health seemed much improved. May
his useful life be long spared to counsel
| and serve his native State.

The Chicago Platform Under ne Ink

When Henry Clay was running for the
Presidency in 1874, he was told that to
carry New York be must secure the Catho-
lie vote To this end 1t was proposed that
he should write a letter advocating sepa-
rate schools for Catholic children-s meas
ure then under consideration-to be read
to Bishop Hughes, and thus secure his in
huence in that direction. Accordingly one
of CIay's most polite letters was written,
and q gentleman called one day to make
the good Bishop friendly visit, letter in
pocket. In the course of conversation,
which he skillfully directed towards Clay
and the Presidential election, he INCIDENTALLY
drew out the letter and handed it to the
Bishop, to prove to him that Clay was
sound on that question. The Bishop read
| it carefully, but without changing the ex-
preston of his face. or making any COM
ment, he handed it back to his visitor, who
had watched him closely to see what i'm
preston it made. Surprised at the Bish-
ops Indifference, he said, "What do you
think of that letter ?" "Oh !" said the
Bishop, coolly, "ny misfortune is, read
| it under the Ink.
In reading the Chicago platform, we dis
cover that it, like Henry Clay's letter, has
more meaning under the ink than appears
on the surface, and for the benefit of our
lfoduSIS We give u tiOcI dL u tfCStCtttCfG.
