Inflammation of Mr.. Chase, for
President, and Gen. o. u. Coward,
for Vice.Presldent.
AT meeting held in Adams and Smiths
Hail. by the Republicans, in Lexington, N.
c., on the 2Sth December,
On motion Henderson Adams. ESQ.,. was
elected chairman, and A. L. Watson, Secre-
tary.
The chairman then appointed the follow
ing comm ittee on resolutions: Col. w. F.
Henderson, J. Q. Adams, G.. Riley, VIM.
Latin, ]. L. Snider and Isaac Kenney.
The committee having retired, the chair
man explained the object of the meeting in
a few appropriate remarks, when the follow
ing resolutions were reported and adopted.
ResOlred, That we but reecho the applaurc
of the world when we say, all hail Ulysses
S. Grant, well done good and faithful SER
want" And we announce likewise to-day
in our belief the opinion of all reasoning
American patriots, jealous of their country's
integrity and honor, when we say that no
office should lure him from his present
proud position but that he will remain with
his hand upon his invincible sword and ban
ner unfurled, until the gloom of war shall
have been forever dispelled, domestic wrath
appedSeU, ana until the CRAFTY TnOnarcnlStS
of Europe shall become reconcied to the
restoration of the Union under free Con-
stitution.
Resoloed, That reposing implicit corf-
dence in the great abilities of $. P. Chase
of Ohio, whose voice has ever been raised in
defence of Republican institutions. whose
hands have been diligcnt to uphold the.
weak, oppressed and downtrodden, and
whose fame has spread through all the ma
tons as a statesman and compatriot of Lin
coin, and thousand other martial and civ
il heroes of liberty-that we to-day recon-
mend him as our first choice for President,
believing that he combines in the most emf
nent degree all those grand qualities of
statesmen requisite in this most important
era.
Resolved, That we also nominate Mai
Gen. o. o. Howard for Vice President
whose services and sacrifices in the cause of
Union and Liberty need no eulogium, be-
cause they are known and appreciated by
every patriot.
hesolUed, That we offer to our fellow
citizens the name of w. w. Holden as next
Governor of North Carolina.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
H. ADAMS, President.
A. L. WATSON, Secretary.

quested to notice.

Hard Times.

We hear a general complaint of hard
times. Every one feels the pressure to a great
er or less extent. There is great cry among
the people ior relief. The Indebtedness of the
country has been accommodating for years,
and losses of all kinds have been SO heavy
that not more than one in ten can pay his
debts We take it for granted that the Con-
vention soon to assemble, and the Legisla-
ture thereafter, will do all that can be done
to relieve the people. Meanwhile we adj
wise economy, hnr,lrork, and the bankrupt
lar. These are the only present remedies
we know of. The bankrupt law enables a
debtor to secure to himself and family some
twelve hundred dollars worth of property,
and at the present low prices good home
stead with some stock and household furni-
ture can be retained, to give the debtor
new start. This law relieves the debtor alb
solutely, and makes his past debts, debts of
honor. An honest man will pay them when
he is able-of course dishonest man will
not. We can see nothing dishonest or disre-
pu,able in taking the benefit of this law,
especially when we reflect on the fact that
the poverty to which our people have been
reduced is the result of great general causes
over which they could exercise no control.
As an illustration of the hard times in
Georgia the Savannah Republican says:
"Col. Quarterman, of this county, deceas-
ed, and his executor was compelled to close
the estate The property was advertised as
required by law, and on last court day it
was sold, A handsome residence at Wall
thourville, with ten acres attached, oGSshou-
ses and all the necessary appendages of
tirst-class planters residence, were sold for
sixty dollars The purchaser was the agent
of the Freedmen's Bureau. His plantation.
$50 acres of prime land, brought $3.50, sold
to Mr.. Frazer Sixty-six acres of other
land near Walthourville, brought So; pu1
chaser, Mr.. w D. Bacon. These were al
bona tide sales. It was court day, and
large concourse of people were present. T
most of them were large property own2
but really had not five dollars in their pQ
cts, and of consequence would not bi
the sales were cash"

A bridal party stopped at Cincinnati
hotel, and after many weary hour the
most momenteus moment in mans whole
life arrived for Verdant On two chairs
were piled pyramid of skirts, etc. and on
a table near the head of the bed the aston
ished eye of Verdant beheld sight which
troze him with horror. There were false
calves, false hips, false palpitators and false
hair. In one tumbler of water was full
set of false teeth, from another glass eye
stared at the bewildered bridegroom. How
long he stood, Verdant knoweth not, but af-
