Dr.. W. L. Love, the Senator from this
District.
PLATO DURHAM's majority in his District
is estimated at upwards of 600 votes. This
is, indeed, we'll done
EN- PAsANT.-A company of heavy Artil,
lery, white, passed here yesterday morning
en- route for Old Point-a portion of the
battalion which recently was sent into
this State and South Carolina to keep the
people quiet during the election.

COMPLIMENT To CoLoRED REGISTRAR -
Although there were such enormous frauds
in some parts of State on the part of the
Radicals, We have but little cause of com
plant in Cumberland this time. In this
connexion we would say that Matthew n
Leary, Jr., (colored( the Registrar for Fay
etteville precinct, SO far as we now know
performed his duty intelligently, faithfully
and impartially. We presume he acts with
the Radical party though we have never
heard of his being an ultra partizan. He
was always free and was trained up to hon.
est industry. His conduct as understood,
deserves credit. and shows as we always be-
lleved, that the better class of colored peo-
pie and the better class of white people
naturally harmonize and have similar in
terests and feelings. Eagle.
HIGHwAYMEN.-Mr. John McKethan,
who lives some miles west of Fayette-
vile, was going home with wagon load
of slaves on last Friday night. A voice
called to him to halt, and he saw one or
more men in the dark near the road. He
arose from his seat on the wagon to see
who it was and adjust his slaves, and call
ed "Who are you ?" He heard some one
say, "That's him now." and at the same
time gun fired, the shot entering the
seat which Mr.. McKethan had just left
McKethan then saw three persons-two of
them negroes and one white man or bright
mulatto, and fired his pistol at them-
They immediately ran and one seemed to
be badly wounded. A large quantity of
blood was found at the place afterwards.
Mr.. McKethan is good citizen and it is
hoped these highwaymen will soon be
found and brought to justice. The only
way to manage these vagabonds and
thieves is to shoot them down the moment
they attempt any violence to your person
or rproperty.-Fayetteville Eagle.
WHITE REPUBL1CANs.-It was amusing to
see the colored Judges when they saw the
ticket of a certain Republican in town who
could not swallow Galloway, and who tried
cram the white people with the belief
hat he voted the Democratic ticket, sub
Dockery for McKoy. But as this
Al
trapped, and his ticket was full except the
Judges saw it they remarked that "the
white Republicans were not worth damn
any ay."-Fayetteville Eagle.
STILL FLY1NG.-The "Flag of the Union,'
we see, is still kept flying from the Demo-
cratic pole on Fayetteville street. This is
right. Keep up the organization and keep
the flag a-fying A better day will come,
some of these times.-Ral. Sentinel.
GAsToN SUPERIOR COURT was held last
week. The State Docket occupied most of
the time, but we believe there was no case
tried of much importance.
John Owens, who was heretofore con-
victed of the murder of Benz. Withers in
Lincoln county, land who had appealed
to the Supreme Court for new trial,
which was refused,) was sentenced to be
hanged on Friday, the 11th of Decem-
ber.-Charlotte Democrat.
WELL DONE CAswELL.-We are reliably
informed that but one white man in the
county of Caswell, in the late election,
voted the Radical ticket. That one was
Stevens the chicken man, who was him
self candidate for, and elected to, the
State Senate. Can any county in the
State equal this ?-Ral. Sentinel.
IT is said that old ingram attributes
the result in Arson to an invasion of four
or five million of Ku hlures, and that
Downing is sure that Union would not
have gone for the mocrats, if he hadn't
been asleep!.-Ral. Sentinel.
DISCHARGES IN BANKRUPTCY.-Below we
give list of the names of Bankrupts who
obtained their final discharge at the late
term of the United States District Court,

Court House, in this city, on the 26th
