The Bud Worm.

Our friend DR. Buie, has been investigating
the natural history and habits of this destructive
little insect, with complete success. In April
last he found stalk OF corn with the heart cut
out by a bud worm, and the insect itself was
buried about two inches in the ground beside the
stalk The DIR took the worm and placed it in ii
glass jar, one-tourth filled with moist earth.
Young stalks of corn, cabbage leaves and turnip
tops were placed in this jar. The worm ate of
each. Alter every eating the worm changed
its appearance. 1t changed first to the ''cut
worm,' which has been generally regarded as
different insect. Its next form was that of the
''collard worm" its color, from black to green,
and its head disappearing After eating, the
bug would return and remain in the earth
After this last change he went into the heart Of
the stalk of corn, until it was entirely destroyed
when, becoming very unweldy, it wollered rather
than burrowed in the ground.
1t remained in this state for five days, and on
the sixth it had entirely shed it's covering and
was fully developed moth, having four wings,
the outer ones dark, the under ones light. Its
appearance to us, as we saw it. is the same as the
ordinary "candie moth" and is, beyond doubt,
the same species of insect.
DR. Buie will continue his Investigations, and
when completed will give the benefit of his dis
coveries to the public. Other insects which in
fest our gardens are also receiving his attention

Disinterring the Dead Past.

Last week, citizen of this place received
FROM Kemp Z. Battle, Esq, Raleigh, communi-
cation making inquiry if man by the name Of
John Hoover was hanged in this county, in 1910
for the murder of negro woman, and if not
why? We suppose that Mr. Battle acted under
Military directions IN making the inquiry. The
following is the history of the case, as de-
tailed to us by an eye witness: A negro
woman, belonging to John Hoover, was said to
have died and was buried suspicion of foul play
was aroused in the minds of the neighbors, and
the body was disinterred by John Ii. Me-
Laughlin and others, and upon examination it
was ascertained that the woman had been MUIR
dered. Mr. Mclaughlin being magistrate took
Hoover in charge and brought him to Statesville
where preliminary examination took place and
Hoover Was committed to jail. On the way to
town, Hoover offered Mr. Nj. 81 900, or any other
amount Of money he might name, to allow him
to escape but the offer was rejected with that
scorn which none but an incorruptble man, like
our friend, can bestow. Hoover was tried at the
ensuing term of the Superior Court for Iredel
and hanged in 1910. Hoover was monied man,
but his wealth could not save him from the pen
atty due for an infamous crime. But why this
investigation concerning matter that occurred
twenty-eight years ago? What right has the
military power to extend its jurisdiction to the
epocH Vi past age IN totate tnat was at least,
then sovereign, if not now? And who instigated
the movement? Who is the informer?-States-
riWe american.
The Raleigh Sentinel copies the above and ex-

Our friend of the Statesville American un-
Willingly places Mr. Battle in a very false posi-
ton in the foregoing A little reflection would
have convinced him that Mr. Battle could not
have been made the channel Of Military commu-
nication in a matter of this sort. The facts are
simply these:
Gov Worth, some short time since, received
a letter from gentleman in New York, who
stated that he had accepted wager rendered
him, doubtless, by some purblind Radical, who
had asserted that prior to 1861. no white nan
had ever been hung in North Carolina for the
murder of negro Mr. Battle, ON looking over
some volumes Of the Supreme Court Reports saw
detailed the cases of Hoover and Robins, both of
whom had been sentenced to be hanged for the
killing Of negroes. He, thereupon as a matter
of accommodation to the New \ ork gentleman.
and with view to the vindication of the State
in this regard, wrote private letter to the Sher-
if, of Iredell, propounding the interrogatory
specified in the above extract from the American

Fort Macon.

We learn from the Goldsboro' Rough Notes
that Mr. j. \. Devane, formerly of Wilmington,
and who has been confined in Fort Macon for
some three months Che having been sentenced
to serve term of three years by so-called Com
mission, has just been released. The Rough
Notes says:
I'VE learn from Mr. Devane that at present
there are about 100 prisoners undergoing SEN
tencc at Fort Macon Is of whom are white
citizens, the remainder being negroes, soldiers of
all nationalit;es. Mr. d. speaks of the treatment
received at the hands of the officers as being as
good as could be expected, and says al credit j.
due to Capt. Gaskiil, the Commanding officer, for
his kindness toward civilian prisoners; in fact all
the officers, with only one exception, seem to be
well disposed. Mr. Devane represents the civil
ian prisoners, who all ex- Confederate soldiers
as being in good health especially Capt. Tolar
is fast improving. Captain Tolar had formerly
been confined in a dark, damp dungeon, which
injured his health considerably, but, upon the
recommendation of the Doctor, he has received
better quarters, which will, no doubt, be highly
gratifying to his many friends and relatives"

WASHINGTON, May 20, 1868
Gen. Joseph e. Hamley, President National
Union Republican Convention:
In formally accepting the nomination of the
National Union Republican Convention, of the
21st of May inst, it seems proper that some
statement of views, beyond the mere acceptance
of the nomination, should be expressed.
The proceedings of the Convention were mark
ed with WISDOM moderation and patriotism, and
| believe, express the feelings Of the great mass
of those who sustained the country through its
recent trials. [ endorse their resolutions. If
elected to the Office of President Of the United
States, it will be my endeavor to administer all
the laws in good faith with economy and with a
view of giving peace, quiet and protection every
where.
At times like the present, it is impossible, or,
at least enlinently improper, to lay down policy
to be adhered to- right or wrong, through an add
ministration Of four years.
New political issues not foreseen. are constant
ly arising. The views of the public on old ones
are constantly changing. and purely admins
tratiye officer should always be left free to exc
cute the will of the people have always re-
spected that will and always shall.
Peace, and universal prosperity, its sequence.
with economy of administration, will tighten the
burden Of taxation, while it constantly reduces
the national debt. Let US have peace!
With great respect, your obi serv't,

A Curious Divorce Case.

A divorce case came before the court of this
city. and was heard by Judge Barnard in Cham
bers on Tuesday, showing the ease with which
divorces can be obtained and the necessity of more
protection by law to the unfortunate victims of
unprincipled people and law shysters. Itappears
that Mr. Smith got divorce from his wife in
the Supreme Court here in December 1865, on
the ground of alleged adultery. Mrs Smith,
with her five children, the offspring of this man,
was living at Newport, Ky. at the time, but
never heard Or knew anything about the proceed
ing of her husband to obtain divorce In fact,
it was not till Smith went home to his family in
the same month, and just before leaving them,
that he told his wife he was divorced from her
Of course the poor woman was astounded at this
announcement and protested against her hus
bands conduct; but she failed to obtain from him
any information as to where or how he cot the
divorce. She ultimately found the decree among
the records of the Supreme Court of this State
The case as it came up on Tuesday was, on
motion, to set aside the decree as fraudulent and
void. Smith, it appears, had married again since
the divorce was obtained, and had actually been
appointed last February to the lucrative position
of United States Consul at Honolulu, Sandwich
Islands. The case is to come up again for de-
cision on the 18th of June,-N J. Herald

WASHINGTON, June 3-The negroes were
very disorderly last night. A white youth
named Handy was terribly hacked with razors
shot and left for dead Several houses were
stoned and the people are very much exasperated.
Further demonstrations are threatened tonight
and serious consequences were apprehended, until
the people were assured that both the military and
police would prevent armed and unauthorized
professions. The troops are under arms in the
city, by order Of Gen. Hancock, to keep the peace.
The Printers Union called on the President
to-day, who, among other things, said: land /

garments the tnge of the shop and the dust of the
field than all the insignia that may attach from

Appointment politician held conversation with
Grant Il few days since on the subject Of the next
Presidential canvass, during which Grant ex-
pressed the same Indifference which is being ex-
hibited by the masses Of the people throughout
the country. He took occasion to criticise very
severely the conduct Of Chief Justice Chase, and
SAID that if he had been as anxious fer the
Chicago nomination as Chase was, perhaps he
would feel more interest in the result. He also
expressed the opinion that Chase was still fishing
for anomination by the extreme Radicals. But,
General" said his friend, you are now the can
ddate Of those very men" Il don't so under
stand it, replied Grant, land when you see my
letter of acceptance, You will discover that such
is not my POSITION This would seem to threat
en- that Grant is about coming back on his
Chicago friends, as it is very certain he begins
to feel that defeat awaits him in the contest.
He charges that Judge chase is responsible for
any disaster which may betal the party.
1t has now become exceedingly doubtful
whether the Southern States will be admitted to
representation in Congress at its present session
The constitutions which have been adopted by
the carpet-baggels are so monstrous in many Of
their provisions and so palpably violative of the
Federal Constitution, that several of the Radical
Senators have already taken determined positions
against their approval, and it is thought to be
very doubtful if two thirds of the Senate can be
had against Presidential veto

Trial of MIR Davis again Postponed.

RICHMOND June 2AChief Justice Chase
arrived to-day, and is guest of fudge III. Q.
Bond. He will preside tomorrow, and probably
remain until after the trial Of some important
cases.
The Davis trial was postponed until October,
by agreement of the counsel. Among the new
witnesses summoned in the case are Gems. Hart
-anft, Wilcox and Sharp of the Union army, and
Generals Fitz Lee, Cooper and Gordon OF the
Confederate army. Burton ~ Harrison, Private
Secretary Of Mr. Davis, is also on the witness list.
RICHMOND, June 3-The U. S. District
Court met this morning, Chief Justice Chase and
Underwood presiding. The Chief Justice called
the case of Mr. Davis, when Mr. Anderson Of
Mississippi, one Of the counsel for Defence read
an agreement for postponement until October,
signed by Messrs. Evarts and OCOnnor. The
Chief Justice then asked if the counsel were
ready for trial. independent of this stipulation
Gov. Welles, for the prosecution, replied that In
view Of the absense Of the District Attorney,
whose wife is in dying condition, the absence of
the prisoner caused by this stipulation, and the
absence OF Mr. Evarts, who stood in position
more directly representing the Attorney General,
the case could not well be gone On with. He
suggested some day of the October Term, when
the Chief Justice could attend. The counsel
for the defence moved for postponement to
next Term, which was granted the Chief
Justice saying, at the same time, that had the
trial taken place May year ago, or last Fall, or
now, 1t would have been more convenient for him,
as he was ready to try the case. He would how
ever, attend next Term, if possible in view of
his other duties. The witnesses: including Gen.
K. +. Lee, were recognized to appear the
fourth Monday in November, and the prisoner
bail bond was renewed
