The SwINDLER. Washington C1ron-
icle says: cat meeting of the Executive
Committee of the National Union League.
held at Long Branch, few days since,
Gen. LittlefieId stated, substantially, in
his remarks on the dangers which threaten
ed the lives and property of loyal men in
the South, that Republicans were, at the
present time, by DO means safe from out
rage and persecution in Florida. Several
of the Democratic papers of that State
have INDUCED in rather severe comments
on Gen. Littlefield, and have promptly
denied the truth of his assertion. Gen
Littlefeld was we'll advised. and facts bear
him out" &C., &c.
| The Chronicle cannot be ignorant of the
fact that his friend, General Littlefed, is
frst-class rascal and swindler. That he
| has been presented by the grand juries
both of Florida and North Carolina for
fraudulent AID corrupt transactions. Since
presiding at Long Branch over the Union
League and associating with President
Grant at that fashionable retreat, he
has sneaked fed to Europe, it
is supposed, with Florida and North
Carolina Bonds to trade upon. The
checks he gave to Mr.. John W. Woodfn
and Others, on the eve of sailing, were pro-
tested. MIR. Woodfin followed the rascal
the next day. If Littlefeld has the
confidence of any man in Florida or North
Carolina except Gov. Read and Gov. Hol-
den, we are not advised OF it. He is said
| to have paid part of the money used in
bribing Governor Read. He is, or was, the
partner of Gov. Holden in the Standard
office. "he Governor made him State
Prin ter, binder, and President of Rail
road.
Littlefeld is known swindler and Pres
ident of Railroad in Florida as well as
North Carolina. The Chronicle should not
parade such a villain in its columns or give
credence to what he says. Give US honesty
as we'll as peace. Raleigh Sentinel.
The UNHoLY HOLDEN INQUlsITIoN This
unrighteous tribunal still holds it's secret
sessions. Bailey, Boyden, Badger, Boyd,
and hog and -four Long, attend upon it.
About 10 O'Clock last Saturday night
they put Mr.. r. III. Stockard first upon
the stand and then upon the rack. Ro-
tating Richard examined him, asking Mr..
StOckard if he knew anyt ing of the guilt
rested. He replied, "No, [ do not. -
That's lie. said the Rotator. The witness
was dismissed until Monday after Judge
Pearson's Court adjourned.
Present at the Court Of inquisition, Boy
den, Bailey, Boyd, Badger and Long. Boy
den, after strong effort to make his hard
face look pleasant, said, now Mr.. Stock
ard, if you will tell all you know on others,
l care not what crimes you may have COM
mitted yourself, there shall not be hair
of your head hurt. The Governor will
pardon any man who will infuTm on others.
Mr.. Stockard said "I know nothing to
tell. About two ours after this iuquisi
tion Stockard was arrested with a States
warrant, issued by Judge Pearson.
Does not this exhibit these inqnisitors
in a new light ? What better is it, to ex
tort confessions by hanging and choking
or threats, than by such means ?-Raleigh
Sentinel.
CHAPEL H1L.-We make the following
extract from a letter from Chapel Hip,
which requires no comment:
"The University has ten or Fl teen stu
dents from abroad, and as many day
scholars. Most Of them are boarding with
negroes-for cheapness-and they are all
bene6ciaries. Neither the Presbyterian
or Episcopal churches have been opened
this year. and there is preaching in the
village only twice a month.
OFFICIAL VOTE FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
The returns of the official vote for Attor-
ney General were found on examination
this morning to have been made so imper-
feet that we learn the Council adjourned
until o'clock, p NJ. to have an argument
before proceeding to decide the vote. No
return was made from CasweIl county.
Gates county was returned for Phillips
3, 744 and for Shipp 1856, making about
1000 more votes than the county casts.
Mcdowell, Person and Rockingham are
all imperfect in their returns. If these
are thrown out Mr.. Ships majority will
be considerably reduced.-Ral. Sentinel
A WOMAN SHOT AT.-Mrs Maria Foust,
of Alamance, is very inoffensive old
widow lady. Until the advent of Kirk and
the reign of Holden she sat in peace and
plenty under her own ''vine and fig tree"
One day last week she spied Kinks men
