stephen A. Douglas. Jr.

This gentleman, the second son of the
lamented statesman, Senator Douglas, of II
linois, has been in our city for few days
past as delegate to the recent Grand Com
yention of the Republican party. Mr..
Douglas, jr., was born in Rockingham coun-
ty, N. c., and has resided with his cousin
Judge Settle, of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina, for the last twelve months.
He has been an active and influential men,
Der of the Republican party in that region
of the State, and like his brother, Col. R.
M. Douglas, the Private Secretary to the
President, seems destined TO make high
mark in this country In the recent Con-
vention, he was made Secretary and as a
further mark of confidence appointed one
of the fifteen on the Committee on Platform
and Resolutions. Governor, Holden has
commissioned him as Major in the 10th reg
iment of N. G. militia. We trust that the
laurels which Major Douglas has already
won may never wither.

Death of the Venerable Dennis Heartt.


We announce to-day the death of the ven
cradle Dennis Heart, of Hillsboro', formerly
editor of the Recorder, which he established
In 1920, and which is the oldest paper in the
State. Mr., Heartt at the time of his death
was postmaster at Hillsboro'. He was uni
versally esteemed and respected, not only by
the members of the press, who recognized
him as the father of the profession in this
State. but by all who knew him.
In few days, from the pen of one who
knew him intimately, we propose to publish
a more extended obituary notice.
Agood man has gone from among us, and
one whose memory will brighten with sue
ceeding years. A Christian and citizen
without blemish, there are few remaining
like him.. A mason of long. ycass standing,
the entire fraternity will mourn his depart
nre. Peace to the ashes of the good and
venerable Dennis Heart.

The Associated Press.

The dispatches from the Agent of the
Associated Press in this City are OF such a
character as to require our denunciation.
We are and have been the personal friend
of the Agent, but we cannot quietly submit
to his misstatements concerning the late
Convention. .re ul 5i
There was no fighting or quarreling in
that body. There was such excitement as
naturally attends all popular bodies. That
was all.
We expect to withdraw from this associa-
ton. 1t is conducted in such a manner that
we do not much care for its news any way
And besides We hear that another associa-
ton is in operation at the North. If twill
do justice, it is all that we ask.
We do not desire to misrepresent other
people, when we make report of public
proceedings. Such cousrse against our
nature. And unless there is change, we
have to say that the tyranny of the Associa-
ted Press has ceased to be endurable, and in
the name of the subscribers to the Standard
we say it may go to the deoa.

The Candidate for Attorney General

The Candidate Tor Attorney Oenerai'
It is az old maxim, that if man can be
saved from his friends he can well take care
of his enemies. We know that this statement
is eminently true of Hon. S. F. Phillips. He
is well able to take care of his enemies if
his friends do not embarrass him. There
fore it is not our purpose to say too much,
but only this that every Republican has
rallied to the support of Mr.. Phillips with
wonderful enthusiasm. It is further our
purpose to explain the causes which have
led to this great unanimity of opinion, SO
far as it may lay in our power to do so.
In the first place it has always been well
known that Mr.. Phillips was a sterling
Union man in 1860, and that be opposed
the secession movement At that day he
resided In Chapel Hill, and quietly follow
ed the profession of lawyer, in which he
gained an enviable distinction. He did
not take an over-active part in political Of
fairs, but when he spoke his words gave
forth no questionable sound. He was a
Union man of the first water. H4'
The war came. 1t progressed with in
creasing fury. Yet nowheres upon the re-
cord can we find that Mr. Phillips bowed his
head to the behests of tyrants, though he
yielded to the established laws OF the land
such obedience as was due to them.
His fellow-citizens noted these facts. They
called him to serve them in the lower house
of the General Assembly. The struggle was
drawing to close. The passions of men,
like waves driven upon the beach by the
breath of whirlwind, beat fierce and more
fercely from hour to hour, until it seemed
that no voice could ever calm the bosom of
the raging waters.
At this hour came down upon the people
of the South shower of the most oppressive
and tyrannical laws known to modern his
tory. a'
Among them was the law of impressment
"a law ofrobbery and beggary.
In his place in the House of Commons we
heard Mr.. Phillips oppose its enactment.
He, with the chivalrous David ~ Garter of
Beaufort and others, supported resolutions
denouncing its enforcement The spectacle
was one of thrilling interest. Duncan Z.

The Greensboro, Paper.

The Republican, published at Greensboro,
sees fit to indulge in certain remarks con-
corning US, which are in character with the
former course of its writers. 1t is always in
q squabble with its friends.
Now the editor of that paper wrote us
from Company Shops better than month
ago to assail 10. Turner. In fact be found
fault because we did not do SO. We wrote
him that we would do so in due time, and
if necessary employ some man to "edit"
Turner, while we would be responsible.
But the Republican now filings up its
hands in horror. We don't care if it is
shocked. The advice was gratuitous, be.
cause we were able to paddle our own canoe.
If the Republican will also attack the King
of tho Kuklux, it will do its duty. There
has been full supply of milk and water in
its columns.
We speak plainly. We are for harmony,
but when man strikes us without good
cause, VIC shall strike back again.

More Sad News,

Sad is the news we have to relate. this week. More white blood has been shed by the sccursed Apaches. Within little while, they have taken the lIves of foir citizens and one soldier, and the end is not yet Satur- day last. June Is, as Alfred Johnson and man named Watson were returning to Kirk tan Valley, from Deep Wash station, they were attacked and cruelty murdered, by a party of savsges, at s point on the road, near Willow Springs. Next day (sunday), at the same place, the same party of indisns attacked Miller & Bro's freight train, but were repuIsed, with the loss of one Indian, whom Jake Miller killed with his unerring rife. Our Camp Mcdowell correspondent relates how the brutes recently murdered two men, between Camp Grant and Tucson and our Camp Verde correspondent tells how poor, brave, Corporal Wright was murdered and butchered by the inhuman fiends, while endeAvoring to prevent Government herd from being captured by them Besides com mitting these murders, they have stoler much property.

LETTER FROM CAMP VERDE.
Particulars of the Recent Indian Raid.


 EprroR ARIZONA MrSER:--The Indians paid us a visit yesterday (June 1st), and ran of our herd. but the soldiers were SO prompt that we got all back, except one dozen cattle and six or eight shcep. The herd numbered 27 mules, horses. e2 head of cattle and 5s sheep, consequently the portion taken by the Indians was but a small share One soldier, corporal Wright, was unmer' eifpry butehered. He, with Ave others. had charge of the herd al the time the attack made. They fought the Indians yell ANer receiving two arrows and a bullet, Corporal Wright fell. 70 rise DO more. When found, his throat was cut from ear to ear, and the devis. not satisfied with making nne rent with the knife, had 10 take q piece of flesh entirely out The herd was not more than one mile from the post, and in full view The report of the guns and the Indian yeils attracted the attention Of those in camp There being nc cavalry $: the post. the Indians could not be pursued. besides there were but fe~ men in camp. the principal portion of the eoin- mand being engaged iu building the new road and were twelve or fifteen miles away. Near the body of Corporal Wright big Indian laid, who had been sho. through the head. lie was killed by Howe, one of the soldiers. There must have been upwards of fifty Indians, three or four Of wbom were well mounted, and many of them well armed.

Yesterday, the Fenians made arother raid into Canada. from St. Albans, Vermont and made complete failure. Gen. O'Neill was arrested, by L. s. district Marshall. for vio. lating the neutrality laws. The invading party numbered some six hundred, and were well armed with Meade breeeh loading rifles This attempt to take Canada has ended in such perfect fizzle that it is hardly thought that it will be attempted again very soon. Rumor says that Col Moseby, late of the Confederate Army, is raising detachment of cavalry for the Fenians, but it is not gener. ally credited.
 The Mcfarland case, though legally ended, continues to cause a vast deal of talk. A number of ladies have petitioned the Govern or to have Mcfarland incarcerated in some lunatic asylum, giving as their reason, that they deem it unsafe to have an insane person roaming about the streets Of New York.
 The Governors veto of the Arcade railroad bill appears to give universal satisfaction.
 The Democratic majority in this State at the late election is now put down at about sO.OOO. of course the Rsd's give the Ire peatersn the credit of this.
