EDITOR SENTINEL-Dear Sir:-A right
amusing incident transpired this morning
lust before the departure OF the excursion
train for NIorehead City. The parties
were A. Ii. Galloway, COL, of Wilmington
| and one carpet -bagger, Schenck, OF Gus
tom House notoriesy, (who, Galloway says
was run away from the Custom House IL
New Orleans for stealing.l Schenck walk
ad mp to Galloway anu tOIu ninl ChtAo h'
lizard he was going to Newhern to mako
speech, and that if he, Galloway, did spear
in Newbern, that he would tear hlm al! tt
pieces. Galloway replied by telling
Schenck, that he had no intention OF max
ing a speech whatever. Schenck told hin
that he did expect to go to NeWbern t.
make a speech, and Tor no other purpose
Galloway again told him that that was no
his intention, and that he thought he knew
his business better than Mr.. Schenck did
Schenck then told Galloway he was liar
. whereupon Galloway rubbed his list upol
his nasal protnberance and told him that
] if he would walk ont of the Hotel Office,
would whip him. He said that he had to
:. much respect for the prOprietors Of tn
Hotel to whip such man as Schenck
their house He abused Schenck for ever
+ thing that he could think of, which
took like dog.
The difficulty started on account of Ga
loway's saying that he would not suppol
? Dockery for Congress. He says that Doct
- ery has "gone back on them," (the R'
publican party,) and that he will not SUI
port him for any Office. Galloway say
q that he will vote for Bob. Strange and q
It all he can against Dockery. Hip HIP
y Hnrrah for Galloway !
Yonrs, in great haste,
CONSERVATIVE.
