AWFUL MURDER. Young Harris negro,
was committed to Jail in this place Satur-
day evening last, charged by the Coroner's
jury of inquest of having murdered his
step-son, young man of about IL years
The circumstances as detailed by the wit
nesses examined by the Coroner, make up
a case of cruelty rarely if ever equailed in
this part of the State. The victim was lit
orally whipped to death-beaten from day
to day for more than week, sometime
with hickories at other times with a leather
strap at others, with rope and still at
other times with a paddle. On last Thurs
day morning, his unnatural father com
menced the chastisement before it was day,
and kept it up until some school children
were passing near his house on their way
to school. On seeing them approaching,
he stopped whipping and drove his son
into kitchen. And after the children had
passed, he. went into the kitchen, tied tho
young man by the feet, threw the rope over
ioist log aud hauled him mp in that posi-
ton, his hands barely touching the floor
He then commenced beating him with his
usual weapons. The sister OF the young
man, about grown, said this was the con
dition of things when she lett the house 10
20 to the spring for water anu then W1gH
she returned her brother was lying on 'ne
floor, dead. ~
During the day the family dressed the
corpse for burial. But when the news so1
out that the young fellow was , dead "a pre- pre-
vious rumors of cruel treatment Oy I"it rs
induced some of the white men OF the
neighborhood to call at his house and IN

d end and that would bear further water
ing" by stock dividend.
The case stands thus: These stockholders
owed the State; they were released and al
lowed to come in and take the stock at
about half of its value, as subsequent
events have shown then they were allowed
to buy the States interest when they We're
ready to pay dividends, and pay IN sus-
pended bonds, which were worth about
three hundred and sixty thousand dollars,
being the amount the State has received
for her vast outlay in this road. With all
these acts of liberality they insist on ap-
propriating State revenues IN such man
ner as actually cOntdscates part of the school
| fund income.
We think the State ought to husband her
resources TO begin, at an early day, to re-
establish her common schools ana educate
the poor. We say it is bold politician
that will urge the taking of public reve-
nues to give to the stockholders of the only
railroad in the State that owes no debt-a
condition of things brought about by the
State purchasing the property, paying the
debts and virtually giving one-half as a
present We advise our neighbors not to
be too greedy-they have had their share.

For the Journal.
Capt. Etheridge, of OnsiO.y.

ON3Low COUNTY, n. c., Feb. nth, 1868.
Hessrs. Editors We uotice in your
valuable and very able paper of the 31st
January, that you wish to call the attention
of the people of Onslow to the fact that
Capt. Etheridge, from Onslow, who is Low
in the Military Convention of North Caro-
lima, is not a Conservative. Our people
never looked upon Capt E. as such. Mr.
T. Thompson was the Conservative candi~
date for Onslow. Your correspondent II, "
writing from Jacksonville, was mistaken in
Capt. Etheridge's politics, as he was re-
garded by our people, all over the county,
as Radical, and it is we'll known that he
was voted for and elected to defeat David
W. Scott, taking Capt. E, as the least of
two evils, and not from the fact that he
was Conservative We have no doubt
that we all do our old friend injustice, for
we were creditably informed yesterday by
delegate just from the Conservative Con-
vention, that Capt. E. excused himself for
some of his bad votes upon the ground
that he is deaf and could rot hear correct
ly what was going on. Now, if this is cor
rect we suppose our old friend is follow
ing color or perhaps goes by the smell, and
keeps up with the strong party in the Mill
tary Convention. If this is true, it is easy
to account for his voting as he does. We
would not Intentionally do Capt. E. in JUS
tice, but as he does excuse himself upon
the plea of deafness, it is self-evident that
he follows color (black) or goes by scent.
In either case, he leaves himself in situa-
ton not to be envied, but we hope for bet
ter things from him in future.

The New Senator from kentucky in his


seat
While the West Point Approximation hin
was being considered in the Senate this A.
ternoon, the new Senator from Kentuck..
Mr.. 'McCreery, who had just arrived in the
city, came into the Chamber, when Mr..
Davis Immediately rose and moved that he
be sworn in. This very natural reduest
seemed to take the radicals by surprise.
and instantly they gathered in groups,
whispering and casting suspicious chances
at MIR. McCreery, who is hard looking,
bald headed gentleman, of aldermanic pro
portions. Mr.. Howe, who was Temporarily
occupying the Chair, sent off for President
Wade, who came in hastily and relieved
Mr. Howe. Mr.. Sumner called out to Mr.
Howard, who sits few feet from him,
Oppose it, Howard )" but the appeal was
met with dubious shake of the head. He
then turned to Mr.. Drake, but that worthy
could give him no comfort. During all
this time no attention was paid by the
Chair to tho motion OF Mr.. Davis, but,
finally discovering that his brother radicals
had given up the hope of inventing Il
plausible plea to disfranchise the State of
Kentucky, Mr.. Wade faltered out, "Thu
Senator will como forward and be sworn
In" Mr.. McCreery then came forward on
the arm of Mr.. Davis, when the oath to
support the Constitution was administered
be Mr.. Wade, and the iron clad oath was
read by the Clerk. Perfect silence pre-
vailed and a suppressed feeling of excite
ment was evident throughout tho whole
chamber. It was not until Mr. McCrecry
had subscribed his name to the latter oath
that the witnesses on the floor and in the
galleries breathed freer. When it is known
that the vote of the new Senator may de-
eide the verdict in the case of the Presi-
dent, the interest which encircled the pro
ceedings may easily be imagined.

The Real Issue.

The keynote of the real issue before the
American people in this campaign was sound
ed by Frank p. Blair, in his letter to Col
Broadhead. -ila ty 2Iia -.H --h
"There is but one way to restore the govern
ment and the constitution, and that is for the
THE PRESIDENT ELECT TO DECLARE THE RE-
CONSTRUCTION ACTS NULL AND VOID, compel
the army to undo its usurpations at the South,
DIsPERsE THE CABPET-BAG STATE GOVERN
MENTs, and elect Senators and Representa-
tives"
OF course war is the actual feast to which
this most pernicious demagogue invites the
people of the United States. Blair went be.
fore the New York Convention upon this issue.
Wade Hampton, backed by the entire rebel
Democracy of the South, secured its incorpor-
alton into the Copperhead platform, and today
Seymour and Blair are before the country sole
ly upon this question. The groans OF the
moor which reach our ears in such agonizing
tones through the medium of Democratic ORA
| tors. are merely flourish of trumpets to di-
vert the attention of the people from the real
purposes and designs of the enemy. Demo-
cratic Journals and speakers, South of the Po-
tomac, say nothing and care nothing for gov.
ernment securities or the burdens of taxation
but boldly raise the standard of revolution, and
openly declare that the success of the Demo
cratic party in November would cause the Stars
and Bars to be unfurled from every flagstaff
in the Confederacy, in token that the princi
pies of the rebellion, lost in war, had been tri
umphant in days Of peace. .m,r

with and committed to the interests of th
dormant Confederacy, what are we to expec

Democracy Defined.

1t is refreshing to have modern Democra-
cy defined by those who know all about it,
Hon. p Fl. Sibley, member of the Demo-
cratic State Committee of California, has left
that party. He could not retain his self re-
spect and that position any longer. Like a
true man, he would not sail under false col
ors. There are many beside Mr.. Sibley. who
are doing the same thing.
The Keokuk Constitution consoles the par-
ty for his loss by quoting from Mr.. Sibley's
letter in favor of Grant and Colfax, the fo!-
lowing passage.

ment bonds as breach of covenant made
