county of Warren voted the scalawae

sentative ticket.
FRAUDS IN MCDOWELL. 1t is stated that
negroes were allowed to vote in Mcdowell,
IN the night time and under the cover oil
darkness, long after the polls were closed
This is one of the thousand instances oil
rascality which have been perpetrated all
over the State.
CURIOUS FREAK OF NATURE.-We saw on
exhibition yesterday, at Davis & Hunters
Drug Store, singular freak of nature, in
the shape of two pigs, preserved in alcohol.
One was without any head-a ghost of a
Ku Klux, perhaps-and the other had a
head like an elephant with full formed
proboscis. 1T, no doubt, was the Grand
Cyclops of the K X. K, in another shape. }
We would advise the DIR. " Jr. " to hide
them, or else he may get the military after
him for exposing infammatory and in
cendiary" things. calculated to arouse the
fears of the cullered." Behave yourself,
FIRE.-On Thursday evening about 7
o'clock, the warehouse in the rear OF Poul-
sor Il Co.'S Drug store, caught fire and was
totally consumed. By the prompt action
OF the citizens and the fire companies the
fire was prevented from spreading to The
surrounding buildings. The fire was acct

Gov. WoRTH.-It is little remarkable
that the name of Gov. Worth has scarcely
been mentioned in the late campaign in
this State. We never voted for Gov Worth,
but it is due to him to say that he has dis
charged his duties so faithfully and fairly,
that neither party could find good cause
for complaint. The fact is Jonathan Worth
is an honest man and although he is an
old-line Wing of the straitest sect, while
we claim to be nothing but all old-line
Democrat of the original panel, we cannot
but admire his straightforwardness in act
ing as the Chief Executive of North Caro-
lima.
We presume that Gov. Worth has but
little faith in the ability of the new parties
that have sprung up during and since the
war, to settle national difficulties, and pro-
badly believes that things will never get
right until the country acts upon and adopts
the principles of the old Wing party (for
the Wing party aCas q party Of principle j
while we believe that the rights of the
States and the people will never be respected
and maintained until the principles of the
old Democratic party are engrafted on the
policy of the Government-we mean the
principles of that party in regard to States
Rights, Tariff, Banking and Expenditures
by the General Government. The war
settled the question against the right of a
State to secede and against slavery, but not
againstthe general rights of separate States.
But it was not to talk about old parties
that we comm enced this article, 1--WE may
have something to say on that subject here
after, it was merely to pay what we con-
slider deserved compliment to Gov. Worth
for the faithful manner in which he has
discharged his duties as Governor in times
of great trial and perplexity. His term of
Office may soon end, and therefore we do
not consider it improper to allude 70 him
at this time as an honest pure minded pub
lie officer. We have received no favors
from Gov. Worth, and don't ask Or expect
any, but as a man who always differed with
him in politics., we are disposed to give
him Is or any other man y the credit he is
entitled to.-Charlotte Democrat
HE LATE RAINs.-The heavy rains OF
last week and the week previous, did con-
siderable damage along the water courses,
but not as much as at first feared. Low
lands generally were overlooked, but that
did not, probably, affect wheat much, and
the corn can be re-planted.
We learn that Tuckaseege Ford, on the
Catawba River, was SO much injured by the
freshet, that it was not considered safe to
cross at that point last week.
