gives his plan of speedily enfranehis-

to vote on au- amended C0n~ti-
tuition; but this amendment Of
yours must pass The Judgment Of
UJlg' class of voters Onlyt You can
trust them, but you can't trust lchite
men. And no wonder you dare not
trust them, for they remember the adj
vice the BUiiCtiD gave to the wives Of
Confederate soldiers in 1868. They
remember il advised their wives TO
desert their husbands, then in the
Confederate army, aRd marry Federal
soldiers! And NOW you counsel
Southern men whf& 10 do to regain
their rights Oh, ye! let the present
voters pass upon the amendment
but don't let any Bsfranchised men
vote on it. This is Che Stokes plan,

Hon. John Pool.

This able Senator appreciates deeply the
necessity to this State of a large amount of
banking capital, in order to her growth and
developments in material property. A great
cause of the high rate of interest at the pre-
sent time is the limited amount of capital in
our banks and the national banking..system,
While it gives the country uniform currency
In which more confidence is felt than was
ever given TO paper money throughout the
United States, withholds banks from organ
izlng in the South. from the fact that the Ii
NIT allowed by law is all taken up, or great
Proportion of it, in the North Eastern States.
very limited margin was left for the
Southern States and Territories at the close
OF the war and Mr.. Pool offered his amend
inent to the currency bill, and made the
speech published in the Daily STANDARD of
April 5lh, in the hope of partially remedy
hsthe evil.

InsOlent.

Amidst the senseless bragadocio and self
glorifcation of the redoubtable Turner in
his article yesterday lis one paragraph which
for consummate impudencescannot be match
ed. Hear him. and remember what mon
ument of God-spared mercy is talking so
loudly. .-......... ... .......-.
'tWe tell you carpet baggers your presence af.
ter your march with SHERMAN to the Sea-"
which can be tracked by lone chimneys, and
smouldering ruins is, itself, an insult to the
people of the State.' .
And we tell you, who fought against the
Union left us by our fathers, that you, ban
ned as q TRAITOR, should thank the mercy
of the government that spared your misera-
BILE neck, instead of attempting to prescribe
men who were faithful to their country
Those men stood by their flag, overthrew
the traitors who would have dimmcd its
glory, and now have the right to live where
ever that flag floats. The insult is that
man who denounces the Government and its
defenders should pollute the soil of America.

Connecticut Election.

The Sentinel, in spea king nf the late elec-
;ion in Connecticut, says: 3" what is the sig
niticance of these large Dem ocratic gains r.
We answer, we will give the reason when he
shows large Democratic gains. The boot
happens to on the other foot; it is a large
Republican gain. During the war Hon. w.
A. Buckingham was Cover nor-elected each
year on the Republican ticket In 1866,
Gen. Joseph r. Hawley, Republican, was
elected Governor by a small majority. In
the spring of 1867, the Democrats carried
the State, electing Hon. James E. English
as Governor, and beating Hawley, and was
reelected in 1868. This the State govern
ment has been in the ands of the Demo-
cratic party. This spring Jewell was nomi
mated by the Republic; ms. The issue was,
should the late administration of Andrew
johnson, the WOULD be traitor be endorsed
That the issue shorlld 'oe fairly joined, Hon.
James Dixon, Johnson Senator, was put in
nomination tor Cor: gross, and was beaten by
a Republican. So the Republicans have
the State government for the first tince
1866. Mr.. Sentinel, you are welcome to all
the consolation you G ct out of these DEM
ocratlc gains" '.'."'
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1869-04-14
Dastardly.

1t is reported that at about twelve O'Clock
Wednesday night, an attempt was made to
ssssssinate Mr.. Turner, of the Sentinel. He
SAYS he was sitting at a table in his office
when shot was fired through the window,
the blinds of which were closed, the bullet
narrowly missing him and lodging in his
bed. He saw no person, and is wholly in
the dark as to the identity of the would be
assassin We have no language sufficiently
strong to express our detestation of the man
who committed this dastardly act. 1t is
culated to rouse the indignation of many
whose characters he has wantonly assailed !;
it is true that, oyerstepping the widest lati-
tude of the press, he has invaded the family
circle, and has publicly maligned them for
their conduct in family matters, but even
such conduct is not warrant for the knife
or pistol of the assassin, nor are the men
whom he has injured men to resent their
injuries in such a manner. 1t would be
highly ridiculous and contemplate to at
tempt to give party aspect to this occur
renee for it would not be supported by the
slightest color of proof The motive of the
attempt cannot be arrived at, as there is
nothing known of the perpetrator. But we
assure Mr. Turner that we, as well as all
other good Republicans condemn this action
and all similar actions. The Republican
party has no sympathy with assassins.
IfMr Turner will give his honor as gen.
tleman, in a written statement, that the facts
are as he has stated them, Gov Holden will,
for the State, offer reward of five hundred
dollars for the apprehension of the per-
petrator; and we hope Mayor Harrison
will offer another FIVE hundred dollars in
behalf of the city, and the proprietors of the
STANDARD will offer an additional reward of
five hundred dollars The large amount of
these combined rewards will give such
stimulus to pursuit that it will almost be an
impossbility for the guilty to escape. As
Republicans, we desire to show the utter
detestation in which the Republicans of
North Carolina hold any and all attempts at
assassination because of political opinion
We desire that the people may know that
We will be the first to condemn any infringe
ment of the laws, or any attempt to destroy
the right of free speech.
We have heard it intimated by some who
have long known Mr.. Turner, that he him
self fired into his Office to gain notoriety, by
reporting that an attempt had been made to
assassinate him. We do not believe this Mr.
Turner may have an itching for notoriety,
but we do not believe that he would take this
method of obtaining it, and we are convinced
that those who hold this view are doing in
Justice 10 him We say frankly. that we do
not believe him man who would do such
a contemplate action. Whether the attempt
was made from political or personal motives,
the guilt is the same. and no effort should
be spared to bring the perpetrator to justice.
We hope Mr.. Turner will make his state
ment in writing, and that the guilty may he
found and punished with the utmost severity
of the law.

The Wilmington formal says that on Friday
night last W. Fl. Payne, of Wilmington, and P.
Donnelly, formerly soldier of company D, OF
the Sth U. 8. Infantry, went on spree. Donnelly
gyt too drunk to be sound tiuancer, and entrust-
ed his money to Payne. Next morning Payne
came to his Senses and not finding his money,
had Donnelly arrested and brought before Judge
Cantwell. An examination disclosed $40, of
which s263 was concealed in his pants. That
looked suspicious, and he was bound over to the
next term of the Superior Court

CUBA.-The Havana Almanac for 1868
gives tables of the population of Cuba for
the year 1867. From this publication it ap-
pears that IN 1867 the total population of
the island of Cuba amounted to 100000
souls OF whom 764,0OO were whites, and
COG, $50 were colored. Of the colored popu-
ton 100000 are designated as of the free
class, including under this head, besides the
freemen of negro blood, a large number of
Chinese. 1t appears that over three-fourths
of the population, white and black, rein the
western department, where no signs OF in
surrection have as yet appeared.
