COUNTY CONTENTION.

The County Convention which assembled at
Alftel ON Thursday last was full and enthusi-
astic one. Its deliberations were marked by en-
tire harmony and its selection Of candidates to
be supported at our approaching election Is most
admirable. Mr.. Smith, in very neat speech,
declined to be candidate for senator, which
action on his part required the selection Of a
new candidate from the eastern sub-district, and
Samuel Hanson, esq, Of Buxton, was selected,
than whom . better choice could not have been
made. Among the new candidates we find John
Hall Of North Berwick, whose eminent fitness
for the Office to which he is nominated Is admit
ted by the Democratic party Of his town, and
known to the Republicans Of the county.
Judge Bourne, Sheriff Goding and Co. Com

young men in the county, an educated man, a

Mr.. Knowltou. who has occupied the position Of

his many friends to allow his name to be used

RALEIGH, July l, 1868.

Dear Journal :-Preliminar to sketch
of to days proceedings in the Legislature,
which has been ordered by Congress tc
usurp the law-making power of North
Carolina, brief resume of other occur
rences will not be out of place.
For quite a week past, each train that
has arrived here has brought its filthy
freight of scallawags and carpet-baggers-
all on Office intent. They have swarmed,
like vermin, all over the city, presenting a
hungry and seedy appearance. The de-
scriptions which we have, in the letters OF
tourists, of the miserable lazzaroni that
throng the Italian thoroughfares, making
the progress of the traveller ga pleasure
trip" under difficulties, are fully realized
in the unfortunate and cadaverous throngs
of imprecarious and characterless Radicai
vagabonds, native and imported, white,
black and molasses- hued, that invest this
goodly city.
In the contest for the spoils that has
been, and is, progressing, the Yankee car
pet-bag clamor rises high above the general
din. The star of the squatters is in the
ascendant. Holden, with characteristic
perfdy and meanness, has linked his for
tunes with theirs, and the combined infiu-
ence will be sufficient to control the situa-
ton. Holden feels grateful (if be is capa-

The Holden Family.

Holden has been for ten years endeavor-
ing to obtain Office through the votes OF
North Carolinians, but in vain. Now,
however, when the virtue, Intelligence and
character of the State is debased, and ne
groes and interlopers control the destlnles
of North Carolina, he finds himself for the
first time occupying very doubtful emf
nence. And his son, Joseph, who has new
er before aspired to any Office, becomes the
presiding officer of the first House OF Rep
resentatives under the negro Constitution.
Already we find neo0 North Carolina revers-
