seaueuce of Kukluxlsm.

The Washington Intelligcncer announces
that three colored nee have been arrested
in Beaufort county, charged with a plot to
fire that town. Let the law deal with them
in justice.
But we have also been informed on au-
thority, that this was plot of certain des-
perate white men, known as Kuklux, to get
a pretcxt to commence outrages upon the
negroes ofthat vicinity and that the negroes
in question were taken into snare by white
men for this purpose.
But they have committed a crime. lgno'
rance of the law cannot excuse them, and
justice must have its way. lD. i.
As to the fire at Henderson, N. G., referred
to in this connection, by the Inteltigeneer-
we can state that we have heard it said that
Mr.. G. w. kHarris, editor of the Inder, at
that place. wrute letter to the Sentinel ex,
oncrating the colprcd people, from the
charges of incendiarism preferred against
| them; and that the Sentinel did not pub.
fish those portions of the letter. So much

The Dumb Oysters.


A recent number of the Sentinel asked the
Conservative members of the bar at Raleigh
why they remained dumb as OYSTERS And
concluded by saying shat if they would not
speak on one side, they ought to speak on
the other. Whereupon four of the dumb
oysters have opened their mouths, for in their
recent County Convention, we see that Messrs.
Fowle, Rogers, Battle, Jr., and Gen. Cox,
made addresses to sixty-three men and a
few small boys, (all counted,) in which they
called for change OF public officers, &c.
The old sea serpent for reasons unknown
did not address the meeting, but several
little whales, (minnows, they call them at
Crabtree) frolicked around in the political
waters. saHHa .rrs.
The d. O's. apologized for their silence.
Gen. Cox said that he had been dumb
oyster because he had been in advance of
his political party. Whereupon the min
nows all wiggled. and Wake County fish
remarked THAT the whole party had been
a set of fools for not going for negro suf-
frage in 1865" Sensation among the small
fry. The D. O's. closed their shells with a
spap, and then jerked them open and
winked at each other. rs I. 7-72,---' -
The first D. O., who spoke, was Judge
Fowle The sixty-three Conservatives pre-
sent looked hungry for the offices which lie
promised. but the weather being warm the
oyster himself escaped though the crowd
swallowed his resolutions with gusto.
The next D. O., was Hon. Sion e. Rogers.
There is no better or longer an oyster than
Sion; but. alas, the people cannot take him
stewed, fried, raw, or on the halt-shell next
August 1t will then be out of season for
bivalves. He will spoil before that time,
though he should be kept upon ice all the
summer.
The last of the D. Os was r. Fl. Battle,
Jr., who expended half an hour in a reply to
Hon. S. F. Phillips, as we are informed.
We are afraid that Richard is really hard
shell. He ought to know better. A few
more years of experience will soften his out
side covering, and make real vivacious
Republican oyster out of him. D."
The balance Of the dumb oysters was absent
on piscatorial excursion up Salt river.
They are for the most part gay and festive
fish. Let them have their fun in silence.
Who cares, except the Sentinel? Oh, ye,
dumb oysters soft and hard-shells, be happy
for a season, for the time cometh when the
fisherman with his tongs shall gather yc,up

Conservatives.

The hardest thing for the Conservative.
to do is to define themselves-to show ex
actly where they stand. They show more
prejudice than wisdom, and more ambition
than patriotism In vain do they try to
conceal their real principles and desires
They ring the changes on the words we
accept in good faith" but they can't re-
peat those words with clear, bright faces.
They do not come boldly and openly
to the discussion nfthe questions now before
the people. They OILY denounce and
abuse Governor Holden, the heads of the
departments, the Judiciary, the school sys-
TEN, and everybody and everything con-
nccted with the State government. Does
any one really suppose that if the Conse r
vative party should be triumphant in the
next election the governmental affairs of
North Carolina would be administered to
the better satisfaction or welfare of the
masses? .er ....,-
Does any one suppose,for instance, that the
system of education would be improved or
the burden of taxation made lighter Does
any one suppose that law and order, prated
OF so much by them, would reign more
supreme THAT the poor white or colored
man living away from the protection afforded
by town or city would be more secure
against the hand OF violence and OUTRAGE
Think of this. Have not absolute threats
been made by some Conservatives that if
they should get into power they would have
revenge for what they deem their WRONGS ?
Reflect on this. =.
The principles of the Conservative marty
will not, cannot, bear the light of truth and
party with such principles can never sue.

How Glass Paper-Weights are Made.


Every one knows these paper-weights OF
olid-eolepless glass ina hemisphericals haPe,
the centre of. which are boquets, portraits.
and even watches and barometefs, &C., but
few persons know how-o by what means
these things are incarcerated IN the centre OF
the glass. - -
There is great Distinction to be made,
not merely betw cen the objects. but also
between the materials of which they are
composed.
As those representing flowers and 4boquets-
in glass, those from which the name is
derived are the most ancient and the best
knewn. we will begin With them.
The first thing to be done is to sort and
arrange certain quantity of small glass
tubes Of different colors in the cavities of
thick molten disc. disposipg them accord
ing to the object to be represented. This
done, the tubes are closed between two lay
ers of glass; to do this they begin by placing
on one side of the disc which contains the
tubes layer of crystal to which the tubes
soon become attached. When this is done
the iscs is removed and a second layer of
crystal is placed on the opposite side.
The object being placed in the centre be-
tween these two layers of glass soldered to-
gather. it becomes necessary tc give the ball
its hemisphercai form, which is done, when
the crystal is again heated, by means of a
concave spatula Of moistened wood. 1t then
only remains to anreal it and to polish it
on the wheel.
That glass ornament, being covered
with layer of hot glass, should receive no
injury or change of. color, may be easily un-
derstood from its extremely refractory ma
ture ; but it is not the same with objects in
metal. such as watches, barometers, etc !.
far loco dauran Of haot uould
ize or even entirely destroy. The mode of
manufacture, therefore, of these latter OBJ
jscts is quite different from that of the first
It is easy to prove this. If we now examine
paper weight containing a watch or bar
Ometei. under the lower part of the ball
will be found piece of green cloth, the use
of which is to keep in place the objects
which, instead of only forming one body
with the covering Of glass which surrounds
them, are only placed in cavity made be
forehaud in the centre of the halEspherical
ball. In word, to take out the glass or
naments il would be necessary to break the
paper-weight, whilst to take out the others
it would suffice to take off the cloth.
As for the paper weights in which are
placed portraits, usually of yelewish
color, these profles are made of refractory
earth. and may thus bear well heat which
only sUftens glass.
Manufactured successfully at Venice, un>
der the name of Mlliefiori, and then in Bo
hemia, these paper-weights have been carried
to perfection only by French artists.
The sole difficulty in their manufacture is
in avoiding internal air-bubbles, which would
the more deform the objects as any d eject
would be much increased by the thickness

The Pope's InfaIIibIlIty.

The New York Sun gives it as its opinion
that the Ecumenical Council will declare the
dogma of the Pope's infallibility an essential
part of the Catholic faith, and then goes on
to say: As we understand it, the iniallibil-
ity which will be ascribed to the sovereign
POntiH will extend no further than to his
official acts as the head of the Church. 1t is
not the personal opinion Of Mastai Ferretti,
or whoever else may occupy the Pa pal chair,
to which the Church will be required to
bow, but the solemn declarations made by
the successor of st. Peter, with due delber-
alton, and with the full sense Of his respon
sibility as :he vicegerent Of God on earth.-
In this sense, the dogma of Papal infaliibil-
ity has long been held and taught by dis
tinguished Catholic theologians, and that
they have finally won over their colleagues
proves both the intrinsic force of their views
and the ability with which they have been
advanced. Indeed, the infallibiIity of the
Pope an official teacher of religious truth
is only the legitimate Towering and crown
of the whole mass Of Catholic theology. If
men must submit their reason at all to au-
thority, that authority can properly be no
other than that Of divinely ordained and
constituted priesthood. The priesthood again
must have an organization and head and
what better head can be found than the lin-
Christianity committed the keys of the king
dom of heaven? And when we have cot as
far as this, and recognize in the Bishop of
Rome the accredited instrument through
which God rules the Church, logic compels
the admission that this instrument is and
remains under divine guidance, and can no
more err than his divine Master.
OF course Protestants will refuse to accept
the first step of this reasoning, and so avoid
the last but all those among them who ad-
nit that any doctrine, such as that of the
Trinity and the Vicarous Atonement, for
example, must be believed under pain of
damnation, whether nationally understood
or not. have no rightto sneer at the Catho-
lies for accepting as true the decisions of
their ecclesiastical chief 1t is only that
small class which repudiates authority in
religion altogether. and makes each individ-
ual man his own judge in religious matters,
which can consistently dissent from the con-
clusions of the Council,
