His canvass against the Constitution. and

which no fought his last political contes,
was one worthy to close the career of such
man, however much we and posterity
may regret that it ever arose.
No higher compliment could possibly be
paid to his high integrity, great worth and
exalted patriotism, than tt g manner in
which he has always been sustained by the
people of the intelligent county of Cas-
well. Before them he was always omnipo-
tent and the recent election shows that
this confidence in him was not confined
alone to the white people of the county.

ERAUDs.-The two separate Boards of
Registration, for the two separate counties
of Stokes and Fol sy the both met in Winston,
and continued there during the five days
of egistration, although one of the
Boards was advertised to meet at another
place, which it never did, thereby disap-

the manner in which "the thing was done Z"

SENIOR SPEAKING AT THE UNIVERSITY
CHAPEL HILL, N. c., May 2, 1S69.-To The
Editors Of The Sentinel :-GENTLEn1EN The
Senior speaking of this Institution began
on the 3Oth ult. and continued two days.
The weather was pleasant and everything
passed off agreeably. The speakers were
encouraged by the presence of the ladies,
which contributed, to a considerable ex-
tent, to the complete success of the festi-
val.
The entertainment was opened on the
first day with a very eloquent address by
Mr.. William S. Pearson, of Morganton, on
Daniel Webster. He was followed by a
good many others, but none of any par
ticular note, except Mr.. Thomas A. Nc
Neill, of Robson County, who spoke of
his father-land "Scotland."
The exercises of the second day were
opened by Mr.. Eugene Morehead, of
Greensboro, on the "Old North State"
and closed by Mr.. Paul B. Means, of Ca
barrus County, on the Evils and Insta-
bilities of Democracies.

Long life to the University
GOVERNOR HoLDEN.--The most disagree
able part of the business is, as the sequel
provided, that there is largo number of
white citizens either too ignorant to appre-
ciate, or too degraded to regard the stigma
cast upon the escutcheon of our State by
the election of such man as Holden to be
Governor It is the first time in the his
tory of the State that her Governor has
not been gentleman in manners, breed
ing, and association. The very first time
that the Governors mansion did not give
tone and character to the Inequalities of
the Capital. Can gentlemen now visit the
Executive Mansion and run the risk OF
there meeting with Jim Harris, Galloway,
OHara and other negroes? No. So the
Governor Of the State of North Carolina,
instead of being the head other society, as
he is of her government, must be left to
the association of negroes, yankee carpet
baggers, and few native scalawags, many
of whom never in their lives were in the
private parlor of a gentleman.

ALLEGED FRAUDS IN THE CAswELL ELEc-
T1oNs.-The Danville Times gives the fol
lowing particulars in regard to the alleged
frauds in the election in Caswell. We hope
that Gen. Candy will require something
else besides &c parte statements and afida
Wits Both sides should be fully heard, and
we hope the Conservatives of Caswell will
ask for strict and impartial justice in this
matter. The Times says:
The Freedm ems Bureau agent from Ora
ham, N. c., was in Yanceyville las
Wednesday, taking the dispositions of ne
groes with regard to alleged frauds in the
election. Several gentlemen, feeling
deep interest in the result, went into the
court house to see what was done, but they
were invited OUT very man who had {
