From Robson County.

Affairs seem to be approaching a crisis
in Robson county. Sinclair, a Radical
scalawag Justice of the Peace, appears de-
termined to maintain the reputation of his
party in his own person. He has lately
made several arrogant arrests. among 9th
ers that of Mr.. W. s. McDiarmid, editor
of the Lumberton Ro6eSoniaa, and has
declared that the county will, this week,
be declared in state of insurrection, and
that troops will be sent there, to admins
ter the bayonet, we presume, whenever
Sinclair's stock of law shall become ex-
huasted. We make no apology for abridg.
ing our usual editorial space for the
publication of the following account,
taken from yesterdays RobeSonian:

An Unfortunate Likeness.

At late cattle show at WestpoIt, Conn,
one of the visitors was Mr. Shafer, who
bears great personal resemblance to b.
T. Butler, He was made very sensible o.
the fact as he passed through the crowd
on the ground. As he brushed by one Ia
dy she slapped her hand over her "a'cn,
exclaiming "He can't steal this any
how" The newsboys rushed by him
singing oat spoons T. and he received 50
many evidences from all present that he
was generally mistaken for Butler, that he
took the first chance of boiling from tho
ground at the top of his speed, and IS sup
posed to be running yet.

though crushed beneath the filth and mire
of present Southern Radical politics, in
the end intelligence and decency will as

What lesson does this teach the negroes
of North Carolina of their own blindness,
and the mad, ignoble, cau5eess fury
which, under the selfish and malicious
teachings of the despicable carpet-baggers,
they pursued so bitterly. Gloating IN their
temporary triumph in ignoring virtue,
elevating vice and trampling intelligence
under foot, they thought not of the future
or Of reverse revolution Of the great
wheel of fortune. What one among them
of any prominence vas known to advocate
universal amnesty ? Yes, We believe there
was one single colored man in the Legis-
lature of North Carolina bold enough TO
support general bill for the removal Of
disabilities. But what was the conse-

ents reward the action ? He was beaten
at the very next election and his course

address before your Agricultural Society,

While confess to be no orator, think
understand something of the practical

the proper mode and management of the

should prevent. will be on hand, and if
anything should occur to prevent my at

address them especially upon the duties of
the farm. I desire that their habits be

SINCLAIR. "A correspondent at LumLerlou

clair, Radical j. P, has declared his intcn-
ton Of attaching rs for contempt IN copy
| ing the article from tho RoJesouianp on
which the charges against 1Ir. NcDiarmid
are founded. We would like 10 express
here the real contempt that We feel for the
old reprobate, but our dictionary isn't vol
luminous enough. However, if it will do
him any good we will tell him here that
we look upon him as one of the most con
tennptibLe old scallawags that Radical legs
lation in North Carolina has yet spo"cd to
the surface of the muddy political pool.
As for his attaching us for contempt, We
dare him to the trial. 1t will be the Iast
of Sinclair, morally, SOCIALLY Ind poitic4,-
ly.
Mr.. McDiarmid has not yo. been favored
WI q trial. He has fled his answer and
demanded jury, but further c1nsidcva-
ton has been postponed until Tuesday
next. Sinclair has declared that he will
sentence bin to a fine of 500 and thirty
days imprisonment. Defendant will got
writ of cerliorari and carry it up, but il
the meantime will probably be sent to jail,
from which place the next editorials of the
Rodes0niaa may be written. The
demand for jury perhaps be refused,
as will also an appeal from this decision,
when Sinclair, j. p, will proceed to pro
nounce Judgment.
The trial of MIR. john Taylor, as ace,
sory to the killing of a negro robber, is not
yet closed. 1t will probably be continued
for several days. Nothing has yet been
elected.

Hon. JOHN Quincy ADAMS has accepted
the Democratic nomination as candidate
for Governor in Massachusetts,. The Boston
Post declares Mr.. ADAMS, by his acceptance
Of the nomination, "stands forth to accuse
the party in power of those numerous po-
itical sins, both of omission and commits
sion, which should visit overwhelming de-
feat on its head. He is presented rs the
defender of integrity and economy in ad-
ministration as the champion of reduced
expenditure and lower taxation; the as
serter of the plain rights of labor, as
against unequal legislation and the greed
of monopoly; the representative OF the
ideas of Justice and right, over those OF
usurpation and tyranny, entrenched behind
temporary majorisies the opposer OF cor
rupt influences and practices in public
affairs, and the candidate of the party
whose mistaken resolution to defend and
protect Republican government is as in
disputable as its faith in free institutions"
With such a candidate and schedule of
principles the Democrats of Massachusetts,
will certainly increase their vote, and
march nearer to an ultimate triumph In
that ism cursed Commonwealth.

AN OFFICIAL OUTRAGE case las hoap
developed in this city recently which ,,o,,
possibly make very pretty ono for tho
lawyers to solve. 1t is that Of an OUTRAGE
alleged to have been committed by Mai7r
Schenck, Sheriff of this county, on n gen
tleman who recently appeared before tb;s
term OF the Superior Court The cjrcnn,.
stances are briefly these, as narrated to IA.
On Tuesday last mr.. J. II. Har3cr. e.
SCOTS Hill, who was charged with an g..
sault and battery, and who was md,
bond of 81, 900 for his appearance at thi,
Court, came before His Honor. Jndoo
Buxton, and was duly tried for the Offence
set forth IN the Indictment Tie corneal
Tor the defence were MessIs II. {, a rT
Waddell and John j.. Holmes. Tho cas,
was heard and the defendant was forr,2
guilty and sentenced to pay u fno O. e25
and costs. Directly after This decision r-os
pronounced Mr.. Harper approached 3aerin
Schenck, and desired to pay the fine and
costs SO as to get full discharge. The
Sheriff replied that be did not know what
the costs in the suit were and tia a..
Clerk was then TOO busy 10 make t:cm o..
and therefore that he, Mr. Harper. ms.
go to jail until this could Ec done. T.
this Mr.. Il. naturally OBJECTED ana H..
dered bond for ten CT twenty tines the
amount of the fine and costs, rather thar.
go to jail. He offered him his iorse AMI
buggy, then in Southey!nnds stable am
several responsible parties clI.red to e,.-
dorse Mr.. Harpor's bond. But it vas 6
no avail, and Mr.. Harper was borne
of to the jail ard locked M. lie
remained thoro about tmo hour.
when, through the interceesion Of sevc,a!
friends, he was released, and the bill
of costs being then forthcoming, the
amount was paid and Mr.. Harper was d.
chGged. Afterwards, during the same 81
ternoon, Col. 4. II. WaGdeI, rs ono Of
the counsel for the prisoner, arose, ana il
open Court, made statement Of the abo13
facts. The Judge expressed surprise at
this action on the part Of the Sheriff aud
told him that he had acted without due
consideration.
The question rs to whether Sheriff
Schenck exceeded his authority ia tie
affair will probably make nice lille Tut
for the lawyers to crack, as Mr.. Harper
avows his intention to institute against
