RAILROAD Meeting In Onslow.

We publish in another column the pro
ceedings of the Railroad meeting in jack
sonYilIe. Colonies 8. Z. Fremont, Roger
Moore, and W. l.. DeRosset, Major Bolles,
Capt. Murchison, and W. G.. Jones, Esq,
from this city; and Ma or @. W. McClam-
my, Mr.. r. K. Bryan, and Mr.. Nixon,
from the country, comprised the Now Han
over delegation.
The speech delivered by Major McClam-
my in advocacy of the Sound route, is
spoken of as q very earnest and strong eff
fort, and had great weight with the meet
ing.
Colonc! Roger Moore felt called upon to
attack which Captain J. @. Mcmillan has,
we trust, been unwittingly led into, in ad-
vocating the connection by tie way of
Teachey's. Col. Moore's speech was a
masterly vindication of the merchants Of
Wilmington. Coils. DeRosset and Fremont
also spoke briefly in their behalf.
Mr. Bryan made a fine speech in behalf
of the Sound route, as did Colonel Moore.
Colonel Fremont gave the meeting some
interesting statistical information as to
the cost of cheap railways, the cost Of
transportation, and other practical matters
of value.
We learn that great earnestness exists in
Onslow in regard to a railroad connection
with Wilmington and Newborn, and that
the decided tendency was towards Will
mingtOn direct. We are satisfied if the
proper inducements are held out now that
before another season is gone Wilmington
will be in direct connection with the Iarg-
est md best portions of that country. We
hope these gentlemen who have thus far
taken so much interest in this project will
be aroused to yet greater OK ertions. Let
us have this railroad by all means.

Richmond County,

There was Radical gathering in Rock
ingham on Wednesday for the avowed
purpose of erpeHing General Dockery from
lie party. The timely arrival of the gen
tIeman himself, by the train, frightened
his enemies, and their courage, oozed out.
Late in the afternoon, to the end thai
public expectation should not be entirely
disappointed, the Court House bell was
rung, and Hampton s. Wade announced
himself as O candidate for the House Of
Representatives on the honest side of the
Republican party. He proclaimed that
old Bob. Fletcher (the negro candidatej
was not fit to 60 70 fact), and that he, il
elected, would mover vote for Holden fo1
Senator. He denounced Holden as cor
rupt and cowardly, and the Longs as mere
tools Of his. John Long interrupted Wade
several times, and mutual threats Of poll
tical humiliation wore freely INDUCED in.
At the request of both whites and blacks,
Colonel WALTER L. STEELE addressed the
crowd. His remarks were attentively lis
tened to and frequently applauded.

Judge Ships Address.

We have the pleasure this morning of
laying before our readers the address of
our distinguished candidate for Attorney
General to the people of North Carolina.
We sincerely trust every voter, both black
and white, will give it careful considera-
ton. Free from partisan feeling. from
| violence in temper Or language, yet ire
sistible in its positions and conclusions, it
is most admirable paper, and affords
strong proof of the fitness of its author
for the position for which he is a candi-
date. The conduct of Judge SHIP as a
candidate for en- Office that should have
no connection with political strife OR par
tisan wrangling is in striking contrast
with that of his competitor, Mr.. Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips has descended into the politi-
cal arena and is now almost daily harang-
uing, if not demagogueing. the people IN
the vain attempt to shift from that party
| to whose tenets he has been so ''particu-
larly converted" its heavy load of fraud
and corruption.
Judge SHIPP, mindful of the dignity of
one who had worthily worn the judicial
ermine, dcscends not from his high posi-
ton to exercise the arts of a petty parti-
san.
Well may We be proud OF such a stand
ard bearer.
ONSLoW RAILRoAD.-The friends Of this

houses and individuals had not been
called upon.
Capt. Murchison, from the same Com
mittee, felt confident, from the success
met with, and from free conferences with
the citizens, that $40, 600 could be raised in
Wilmington.
Mr.. Parsley and Col Hall gave their
views at some length as to the advantages
of the several proposed routes.
Mr.. W. c.. Jones, who is very familiar

Dear Journat:-We feel very much en-
Icouraged at the political prospect in this
county. Our citizens were eminentlv wise
in the selection Of Mr.. w. G. Trov as the
Senatorial standard bearer from this conn.
ty. The nomination has given universal
satisfaction. He is decidedly popular and
has entered the field with On earnestness
that means success. He is man of great
energy, possessing much prudence in cleo.
pioneering, and will mako great inroads in
the Radical ranks. If he is elected, of
which we have no doubt, he will make a
valuable representative of the real interests
Of our people. Mr.. Murphy is popular,
and with him and Mr.. Troy as our Soma
tors from this District, we shall feel at
ease.

by about 500 votes and it almost paralyzed
the arm Of Conservatism, but at the elec-
tons of the fall of 1868. Mr.. Troy was pre-
vailed upon to undertake tho huge task of

Rumored Plot To Blow up the Governor
Generals POIace-De IROdHs likely to EgO to

You have ere this doubtless heard of the great
gas explosion near the palace, Immediately after
the arrival of His Excellency. All at once
there was a terrible detonation, like the roaring
of cannon, when the street 60 Reilly) which runs
to the right of the palace was torn up. 1t was at
first supposed that this was the work of the 30
lunteers, who were anxious to get De Rodas out of
the way, while others thought it was brought
about by the Cubans When the excitement
had subsided, however, all parties were Of the
opinion that the explosion was accidental. But
now public opinion has again changed, and the
circumstances of similar detonation being
heard on last Sunday night in the same vicinity,
but attended with more serious results, induce
many persons to believe that some villainous
Spaniard or Spaniards (volunteers of course)
have been endeavoring to blow up the Palace by
the pining process, that is to say, it is supposed
that hole or holes were dug near the walls of
the building into which powder was deposited
and which, when touched, communicated,
as it was intended, with the gas-pipes,
of the building at one and the same time.
The last explosion to which reference is
made, caused the kitchen to fall to pieces, the
lodging-room of his Exeellency and telegraph
Office suffered serious damage. The alarm now
became general ia the palace and the immedi-
ate neighboroood for in q short time thereafter
another detonaton was heard. On this night
the first explosion occurred at o'clock and the
last at 10 2. NJ Shouts of Death to the Labor
antes" burst forth from the Spanish soldiery
whenever a Cuban was seen passing by, the
regulars evidently believing the work to be that
of the Creoles In short, De Rodas left for the
Cabanas Fort, where he passed the night.
The Governor Politico, Lopez Roberts, came
near being killed. He approached, torcha In
hand, the place whence the detonations had
proceeded, when the gases, which had escaped
from the pipes, caught fire, and the whole air
became flame. Roberts had enough presence of
mind to run from the scene and escaped harm.

soon to Santiago de Cuba for the purpose of

partment. Should this prove true. we may ex-
