DExTER.-Dexter was allowed the
most perfect rest during the winter,
and now he is looking better than he
ever looked. His feet have spread,
aud there is not b particle Of lameness
about the horse. Last week he was t.
ken from the stable for the FIRST time
since his shoes were removed from him
last fall. Mr.. David Bonner rode him
out in tie park under saddle. Dexter
was full Of life, and after the first ner-
yous, colt-like bounds, he settled down
to steady gait, trotted squarely aud
with great speed. he attracted much
attention, as the white legs and white
face are so widely known. Thousands
turned their heads to look a. the King,
and from oil lips came words Of admi-
ration. The superb condition Of the
horse was enough to excite the warm
est praise. Mr.. Bonner is nov driving
Dexter on the road, but in June, We
understand, tho marvel will be sent to
the island to 5e prepared for his great
trial Of beating the best time on record.

AsTRONG APPEAL.

We publish on the first page of our
paper this week letter addressed to
the Southern people by Chief Justice
PEARSON, of North Carolina, and heart
lily commend it to our Democratic read
rers as an able aud candid presentation
of the reasons why GRANT and CoLFAx
should be elected. The letter derives
additional weight from the fact that its
author is no politician, but holds the
high and responsible position of Chief
Justice Of North Carolina by the unan-
imous sulfrages Of The people of bis
State, both parties having nominated
and supported him. lie shows CON
clusisely that the object of the Democ-
racy is notification, and that the result
of their success. would be civil war. He
condemns the rawlings II tho violent
politicians Of the South, and reminds
the people Of that section of the ad-
yantages they lost by acting upon the
advice Of their hot-headed leaders. The
election Of GRAsE means Peace; the
election Of SEYMOUR and BLAIR viii lead
not only to civil war, but, in the South,
to that most fearful Of all strifes, war
Of races.
