Emigration from North-Carol1na.

We learn that dozen or more of persons
have left North Carolina for North Cardinals
good. The cause of their departure is to be
attributed largely to the fact that they ex-
pected to live forever from the proceeds of
the public Treasury, and that they are too
lazy to work. So far from being missed,
their absence is a good radiance. Their
places will be at once filled up with the in
dustrious laboring men of the North, who
will roll up their sleeves and go at it in good
earnest These emigrants are of the most
bitter and extreme class of rebels to whom
it will be Internal torment to be ruled and
governed by the loyal Union men of the
State. 1t Is good sign that loyalty is be-
coming respectable, and in proportion as
this is known will Northern enterprise crowd
within our borders.

We learn that Redtick Carney of Pitt
County, who shot two negro men, was then
arrested, and violated his parole, who re-
sisted second arrest, and killed federal
Lieutenant, repeated the attempt and was
slain Il few days ago.
Maj. Lyman of the 10th u S. Inf, had
determined to arrest Carney, who had been
residing at home since his triple murders,
and for that purpose took squad of sol
diers and guide, proceeded to Carney IS
house and surrounded it. Carney, his son
and son in-law, Whitehead, were in the
building and refused to surrender. They
fired on Mai. Lyman and his detachment,
wouDding him in the arm and killing two
of his soldiers The fire was returned, and
Carney, with his sons, killed. The house
was then fired, burned to the ground, and
the bodies consumed.
Carney was desperate man. 1t was we'll
understood that as long as he was alive he
would not surrender. But death, the fell
sergeant, is strict in his arrest" and the
murderer has explated his crimes with his
own blood, and that of his kindred.

Sc Still Harping Oh My Daughter.o

The poor old Sentinel confounded as it is
with the results OF the election, and half out
of its wits, is still one more example of 1.-THE
ruling passion strong in death" 1t still
harps its old refrain about " Negro Equal
ity." The fear of white and black schools,
still haunts its troubled brain, and in its
Wednesday issue the editor worries through
a half column of his stale twaddle on that
old theme, enlivencd with little down
right lying in regard to Mcssrs. Ashley and
French. No man ever heard Mr.. French
utter the sentiment put in his mouth by the
Sentinel and what is worse, our ncighbor
knew he was fabricating the statement out
of whole cloth when he wrote it. Down
right lying in regard to a political opponent
the Reverend editor of the Sentinel treas
ures as Christian virtue. This talk about
driving white children into colored schools
is all 1apdooile-food for fools, and the
Sentinel spoons it out in highly diluted
doses

CaSWeil County.

Caswell County, with a colorcd majority
of 700, has given the Rebels % majority.
We learn that the proof is ample that vio-
lcncc fraud and bribery were used to defeat
the Republicans in Caswcll. 1t is also al
legged, with much show of truth, that the
ballot-box at Yanceyvillc, was opened and
Republican tickets destroyed. One of the
chief Registrars, Robert Z. Potts. is drum
ken Rebel wretch, and it is believed that he
played in every conceivable way into the
hands of the Rebels. The troops sent to
Yanceyville to protect the loyal people, were
placed at the disposal of the Rebel Sheriff,
Griffis, and used against loyal men. Three
or four colored men were arrested and put
| in Jail, simply, as We learn, on the charge of
= lettering" about the polls, while such big
Rebels as Sam Hill and John Kerr. who
have been promoting sedition and blood
shed, were permitted to go at large. Many
of the colored people, seeing the troops
turned against them, became alarmed and
! did not vote.
The character of this man Potts is we'll
known, and yet he has been allowed to re-
main in office and conduct an election tor
| loyal men
The loyal people of Caswell are entitled to
a new election, and we trust they will get it
We regret to state that the Hon. Bedford
Brown, in his old age, crowned with years
and honors, stepped down into this mess of
treason and gave countenance to these out
RACES by running as the Rebel candidate for

The Verdict of the People.

God bless North Carolina And bless
all her people! Never were questions OF
more Importance presented to people, and
never was more righteous verdict given
than the people of North Carolina have re-
turned with TWENTY THOUSAND major
ity.
North Carolina declares again for the
Union.
North Carolina declares for civil govern
ment and peace.
And with so laundering majority, that
henceforth no man shall question her posi-
ton. No State is more surely anchored to
the grand progressive and advancing Re
publican movement than N ORTIZ CAROLINA.

The Republicans of Nash have been beaten
by violence and intimidation, as they were
beaten in Caswell.
We learn that Mr.. Sears, one of the Re-
publican candidates, was ordered off the
stump at Geo. Cooper's, and beaten by
armed bullies; and the venerable Jacob Ing
the candidate for the Commons, was warned
that if he did not cease to address the people
he would be murdered. Hundreds of color.
ed people were prevented by violence from
voting.
We learn that that desperate old traitor
Badly Arlington and Tip and Fred Battle
were conspicuous in these outrages. We
have no doubt Gen. Kinks will investigate
these things. and see that justice is done to
the loyal people of Nash.

Alamance County.

The Republicans made gallant fight in
Alamance, but they have lost it by small
majority, mainly through the influence of
the North Carolina Railroad now in Rebel
hands. The vote is as follows:
For the Constitution 997, against it ,o1e.
Holden 969, Ashe 1907.
For the Senate, Shoffner, Rep. 96s, We'll
ker, Rep. 969. Kerr, Rebel, 1,O14, More
head, Rebel, 1910.
For Representative, II. NJ. Ray, Rep. 965,
Moore, Rebel, 1922.
For Sheriff, McMurray, Rep. 9s4, w. j
Murray, Rebel, ,OS1.
For Superior Court Clerk, w. A. Albright,
Rep. 1852, Gragson, Rebel, 9G5.
For Governor, Holden, 900, Ashe 1907,
Goodloc, 3.
For Congress, Lash 97s, Caldwell, 1,O11.
The vote for the State officers was pretty
much the same as the above.
1t will be seen the Rebels carried Ala
nance by very small majority, electing all
their officers but the Superior Court Clerk
and one of the Commissioners. This was
effected by the improper registration of vo-
tiers by Board of Rebel proclivities. We
trust the votes of these men thus improperly
registered vii! he thrown out. In that
event, the ticket voted for by the loyal peo-
pie will be elected

who have falsely taken the registration oath

outions. For our part, we welc ONE the

that. in our opinion. The State needs their
sturdy blood. Let them come forward, for
their brain glows with the new ideas which
arc to save the commonwealth.
We have no time to waste in repining

Further returns render it certain that the

This renders certain the prompt ratifca-

have received further returns, and our cal
culation now is that the Senate will stand

This will give 26 Republican majority in

The vilest political trlcksters and villains

the day of the assembling of the late Con-

FEMALE LEAGu Es.-We published, some
DAYS ago, an article, copied from the Wilson
Plaindeoler, charging upon w. w. Holden,
the President ofthe Union Leagues in North
Carolina, that for the purpose of still fur
Their consolidating the negro vote in his
behalf and influencing the wagering and
disaffected males of that race, he had either
organized the negro women into separate
Leagues or sanctioned their admission into
those already instituted. We learn that
this charge has not been denied, and we
have good reason to believe that it is well
founded, and that the great majority of the
blacks, of both sexes, are compacted in this
secret political association. The result is
that no head of a family, who employs
negro woman as domestic, and no man
who employs a negro laborer, knows but
that he is maintaining a secret foe or a spy
upon all bis actions and conversation. 1t
is a duty which every person owes to him
self or herself before employing a servant,
to ascertain, If possible whether that ser
want is a member of one of these secret and
dangerous Associations. so, it is a suffi-
cient reason for refusing to employ. or for
discharging. if already employed. The
manner in which these Leagues have been
consolidated in the interests of one design
ing and desperate man is full of portentous
meaning. 1t bodies no good to the interests
of good government or social security. The
lessons taught in these clandestine conclaves
are doubtless such as menace the public
peace. for their evil fruits are cropping out
daily in every direction.-Sentiaet
The Union League of America is confined
exclusively to male citizens. 1t is a loyal,
patriotic organization, having in view only
the reconstruction of the government and
the good of the country. Millions of pat
riots belong to it, and it embraces within its
folds many of the ablest and purest men in
the country.
We saw the article copied from the Plum
dealer into the Sentinel. 1t was so absurd
on its face that we did not deem it worthy
of notice. But as the Sentinel has endorsed
this article as true, we hereby pronounce
William E. Pell and Seaton Gales wilful,
wicked, deliberate, and corrupt liars and
calumniators. Is that plain enough?
