The city of Cleveland was nobly
represented in the convention iu the
persons of Mrs. Cutler, Mrs. Sever
ance and Mrs. Kickoff In the posi-
tions occupied by these ladies in pre-
siding over and taking part in the
debates of the convention, in ad-
dressing the audience, and in the
delivery of an original poem, each
lady filled her respective position
with dignity and intelligence.
A dispatch from Cleveland 70 the
Cincinnati gazette, says: "The lee
ture of Mrs. Maddr, at Case Hall,
last evening, against female Suffrage,
was a fiat fliiure-not over tllirt,
persons being present. Since the
Convention, public opinion has set
decidedly in favor of the female

Mr.. a ID RICHARDSON, Tell known
in newspaper circles as an able cor
respondent of some of our ablest
Journals, was shot and dangerously
wounded, in New York, a few days
since, by a man named Mcfarland.
The circumstances were these: Me
Farland was very abusive to his wife
and she determined to procure a di-
vorce. She went to Indianapolis
and remained eighteen months, and
a short time since succeeded in get
ting divorced. Meantime an intima
cy had sprung up between Richard
son and herself, and in was ranged
that so soon as she conld get di-
vorce they wouid be married. nc
Farland accused Richardson of alien-
ating his wife's affections, and meet
ing him shot him, as related above.
No blame is attached to the wife or
Richardson. Mcfarland is in the
hands of the authorities. This is his
second attempt to aessssinate Rich
ardson, he having shot him in the
same cowardly manner about year
and a half ego.
Since the above was written we
learn that Mr.. Richardson is very
low and is not expected to survive
long. He and Miss Abbie Sage
formerly Mrs. McFarland) were
married on the Both ult., the cere-
mong being performed by the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher.

A SPECIAL Indian agent, who has
travelled over 5000 miles in Alaska,
says that the natives number about
10000. They are of very superior
order, have large herds of cattle,
raise grain, live in well-constructed
houses, and have very decided par
tiality for Americans. They are not
inclined TO use the scalping knife,
like many of our Western sborigines,

agent may be credited, 8 genial peo-

The ku-KIuX-klan Farce.

Yesterday, as we stated, the prisoners
recently tried here for conspiracy, and
murder and Ku-kluxism, were brought
before the Superior Court of Lenoir coun
ty, Judge g. r. Thomas presiding, to an
swer the several charges. The bill of in
dictment consisted of no less than sixteen
pages of closely written legal cap paper,
but, notwithstanding this formidable array
of charges and specifications, the State
Solicitor sqGarely backed down, as will he
seen.
The first case called was that of Messrs.
A. Munroe and Calvin Herring, charged
with the killing of Kader Grady, colored,
on the Kinston bridge, in January last
The trial was not entered into, Solicitor
Sherard making affidavit that he did not
believe that the State could obtain Justice
(bah y in Lenoir county. The counsel for
the defense selected Wayne. and His
Honor fixed upon Wednesday after the
first Monday in February next, for final
hearing of the case. The accused were adj
mitted to bail in the sum of 10000 each,
giving justified bond without difficulty.
The cases for conspiracy, known as the
Ku-KluX cases, were then taken up. The
Solicitor again making affidavit that he
did not believe that the State could pro-
cure justice in Lenoir county, as similar
disposition was made of them as in the
case of Messrs. Munroe and Herring. All
the parties were admitted to bail in the
sum of 81 ZOO each, except Mr.. Jesse G.
Kennedy, the reputed "South Comman-
der" who was required to give bond OF
$40. O00-which he did.
Here the farce ends for the present.

The Fair.

Yesterday witnessed the inauguration of
the First Annual Fair of the Cape Fear
Agricultural Association. No friend of
the enterprise could fail to be gratifed at
its suspicious opening. While the articles
on exhibition are not SO numerous as we
had hoped, still there is no ground for
complaint In quality the exhibition will
equal the expectations of all. The num-
Der of persons in attendance was very
large for the opening day, and we look for
a very large increase to-day and to- morrow.
Every one seemed pleased with the
Grounds, buildings and the general ar
rangements, and we feel assured that we
have witnessed the Inauguration of an en-
terprise that will not only rebound to the
prosperity of our city, to the liberality OF
whose citizens in great measure we are
indebted for the splendid Grounds, but
will become the patron and chief promoter
of the agricultural and mechanical inter
ests of this section.
We refer to detailed report elsewhere
OF the Fair and the articles and animals on
exhibition.

The above remarks, though made with

Of Virginia, apply with equal force to the
Tide Water Lands of North Carolina. We
have been satisfied that under the new or

no portion of the South offered greater ad-
yantages to actual Industrious settlers than
do the lands of Eastern North Carolina,
especially the lands lying upon the waters
Of the Roanoke, the Tar, the Mouse and

unsurpassed in fertility, and are so cheap
in price that they are within the reach OF

4 successful Venture.

! The Duke of Edinburgh, VINO has the
reputation OF having keener eye to the
main chance than quite becomes q prince,
is reported to have made a lucky invest
ment during his recent visit to New Zea-
land. In common with some of the other
officers of the Galatea he purchased shares
in the sLorg Drive" claim at $50 share,
and when the mail left Auckland, about
two months ago, the shares, on which only
,e3 IS. had been paid up, stood at :f65,
while in June alone G6, 600 dividends had
been paid on total subscribed capital OF

| This is not the only instance in which
an officer of the British service has made
lucky hit in New Zealand. Some years
ago marvellous stroke of good luck befell
one who needed it much more than the
Duke. A poor lieutenant in a marching
regiment quartered in New Zealand had
contrived 10 save G37 out Of his pay, and
hearing very favorable accounts Of the
prospects of the township Of Otago, he
wrote to sagacious friend there, enclosing
an order for the whole Of the sum men
toned, and telling him that he was de-
termined to invest his hardly-earned little
savings in real estate in that place The
friend most judiciously bought with $50 q
corner allotment, and wrote back enclos-
ing the necessary papers and the 81 bal
ance.
Within short time Otago, now the
wealthiest place in Now Zealand, became
the rage; prices rose tremendously, the
ground purchased by the poor officer be-
came the object of brisk competition. and
was finally let on building lease. at a
ground rent of e900 a year, to a great
bank, which has created on the site mag
nifcent editice.

iects demand careful consideration 10y the
Legislature.
The Convention mode of elfecting every
desirable object is SO much moro ezpedl'
tious and so much more economical that
we trust the earnest wishes of the people
will no longer be resisted.
Another step in the same direction Will
be to appoint committee to enquire into
the truth of the report that is in circua-
ton in reference to the tamperlng with the
Common School bill. There is an impress
sion among the people that the bill as
passed by the Legislature is different from
the one now on record in the Office OF the
Secretary of State. We know not whether
this report be true or false, but, as it is in
the honor of the Legislature
demands that it be investigated.
All other matters are of minor import
ance to the people of North Carolina IN
to an early call of Conven-
ton.

gallant fight against official power and
corruption, and whitfield q Democratic
majority of several thousands down to

the Republicans of Sacramento County
10 attributable solely to their apathy
during the campaign. Conscious Of
their numerical superiority-as con.
fessed by tho Democratic organ in this
city-they suffered it to lull them into a
false security which proved their ruin.
Their strength proved to be their weak
ness. Instead of bringing all that
strength into play they suffered It to
take care ofitself. The result has illus
trated the danger of apathetie conf

HOW RURGUNDY IS MADE.

Good Burgundy has body. It is q
generous wise. How 1t gets "body :"
is described by Mr.. w. ]. Flagg, in his
recent book published by the Harpers.
He says:
There is n mode of rousing up the
s~lackening process, and ut tue samo
time bringing other skins and seeds
which have settled to the bottom in con.
tact with tho new-made alcohol, so that
the latter may combine with the color.
ing matter they contain. This consists
in stirring up the whole mass from bot
tom to top. It is done twice during the
process Of fermentation. It needs a
good hours hard work each timo. It is
done by mon. It takes four men to do
it we'll. They oil strip naksd--noked
as Adam when he was goddard then
they 20 in-into tho wine yut-chin
deep thoy 60 in, and there, with feet
aud hands, fingers and toes, turn over,
stir about, and mix the liquid that was
getting clean with the pomaco that was
depositing itself, and
Make tho Cruel thick and slab.
And like a hell. broth boil and bubble.
The nice, sweet Berdelais man only
puts his foot in it, but the Burgundian
goes the whole figure. II is done to
give tho wine a full body. They call it
f~ermenting on the skin. Nor is the GUS
tom confined to Burgundy alone, or
Franco alone. Stir
ring up with poles they tried, but the
warmth of the human body was want
ing, and tho result, they soy, was not
good. Besides, il was hard work.
AT tho house of La Tour, in Haul
Medoc, Mr.. Flagg saw wine mado as
follows:
A pile of grapes, ready stemmod, was
hsaped in conical form on the pr%essoir,
IA largo shallow box, and five or six
men with trousers rolled above their
knees, were trotting about in n circle,
trampliug the pile under foot, beginning
al the outer circumference, and grad
ually contracting the circuit till they
meet in the middle, and on the top of
the conc. This they call foukr a pied
crushing with tho feet). There might
DO a cleaner way Of doing the thing ; I
don't think there could be a fouler.
l inquired Of
the workmen if they washed their feet
before trampling the grapes, aud was
told they did not. One of them en-
lightened my ignorance by explaining
that vino had the power to fling of all
impurities, so that it was no sort ofcon.
sequence how free they were with It..
