A SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-Tlc follow
ing is furnished by Prof. Martin:
On Friday morning la0t, just at dawn. as
I stood on the eastern slope of Chapel Hill,
I became suddenly conscious of the pres
ence of an all pervading light My first
thought was, though by sort of double
consciousness 1 knew better, that it was the
full moon bursting from cloud Irehected
for a moment-there were no clouds, and
it was time for a pew moon. Ibid not look
for shadow, though l am now sure there
must have been one, but turning my eyes
to the northern heavens, saw slowly NOV
ing to the west most remarkable meteor.
Its apparent size was about four times that
of the morning star, and its brilliancy was
equal to that of the Drummond light, or
perhaps TO that of the sun at o'clock in
the morning. Its color was Il clear silvery
white, something ike that of the kerosene
flame. 1t passed over an arc of perhaps
ninety degrees, occupying five or six seconds.
1t vanished in the neighborhood of the con-
stellation popularity known as Jobs coffir.
Just before its disappearance, it separated
into fragments which exhibited most beau
tiful prismatic hucs of intense brilliancy
witnessed the last great metcoric shower
under the most favorable circumstances
seeing, among Others, that famous meteor
which took the form of the letter S.; but
nothing of the sort that ever beheld will
bear any comparison to this

RUTHERFORD.
Moore, Merrimon and Battle.

We were asked, the other day, if the Stan
dard meant to treat Mcssrs. Moore, Merri-
mon and Battle contcmptuously Icy not no.
ticing their arguments in behalf of the Ku-
klux. BY no means. We have great re-
spect for old Bat; we would have more if
he did not worship the almighty dollar SO
devotc(lly; but still on account of what he
has been, he is entitled to much considera-
tion.
He reminds us of an old rooster, that has
been cock of the walk. He still crows loud
ly and his gills look rcd but his tail feathers
are all gone, and his wings look ragged and
dropping. We advise him tu stick close to
his own dunghill, for we predict that the
first rainy day that some of these Raleigh
stags catch him out with his feathers wet,
they will make finish of him.
Judge Merrimon-a big able-bodied man,
but small potatoes, and few in hill. The
subject is exhausted.
Judge Battc-Hc is sorehead, and sure
" ought to he allowed the p"or privilege Of
growing. Don't like being. defeated for The

Col. George w. Kirk-What those who

Col. George w. Kirk-What those who
know Him say of Him.
We clip to-day paragraph from the
Rutherford Star, concerning the gentleman
whose name heads this article. We call the
particular attention of the people of the
State to it. 1t comes from one who knows
and who writes not to expose an enemy or
to praise personal friend, but as matter
of justice to an honest and honorable man.
Read what he says:
Col. G. w. KIRK.-We feel it our duty to
say few words about the gentleman who
heads this article, for two reasons, first, be-
cause lie is now an officer under Gov. Holden,
and II any things are said about him to his
disparagement.
End. Because he once did business in this
place. Soon after the surrender Col. Kirk,
came to this place and set up a small store,
and carried on business for few months.
While here his conduct was unexceptiona-
hle, lie showed himself TO be firm and dete.-
mind in any thing he undertook, and we
can say without fear OF contradiction, that
no one can lay charge against him while
in our midst. The hue and cry that he is a
bad man. is for political effect. He is the
right man in the right place, honest men
need not, nor do not fear him, but in our
opionion, and we give it merely as an opin-
ion, the Kuklux had better hunt their holes.
Col. Kirk is one of The kind of men that
Grant whipped Davis with. Union loUing
men are not Gtraid Of Kirk, and our word
for it all those who are condcmning him, il
they had the chance would try again 70
break up the government.

You are right. Mr.. Enquirer, there is,
and, pray God, will ever be he'll in North
Carolina Tor all scoundrels, thieves and mur-
derers. But thank God we are spared you.
The reason there is disorder in North
Carolina is because Union men pM not be
oppressed, and they stand ready with their
lives to defend their liberties The Kuklux
devils not being able to have their own way
peaceably resort to force, and we are ma
king 1t hot for them. With you they have

BANKRUPTCY.-Wc are pleased to see that
Col. A. w. Shafler, Register in Bankruptcy
for this, fourth Congressional District, has
removed his office from the First National
Bank building to the Court House, and is
now domiciled with Gen. Cox, District At
torncy. This will enable Attorneys from a
distance, as well as the city, to transact all
their legal business at one central point, and
be convenient to all parties concerned.
We found him deep in preparation for
lew business under the recent act OF Con-
gress extending indefinitely the provisions
of the 32d section of the act, oa all debts
contracted prior to january 1st, 1869.
He has closed and filed with the clerk all
old cases, retaining only such papers as are
required to obtain discharge upon payment
of costs, and is preparing blanks for new
cases.
He will adopt Il thorough system, and if
we may judge from the past, parties who
desire to avail them of the beneficent pro-
visions of this law, will not be subjected to
unnecessary delays before the court
1t is matter of surprise that our citizens
do not more generally avail themselves of
the provisions of this act There is no rea-
son in good morals or sound policy, why
citizens whose property has been swept away
by revolution which no human power ur
ingenuity could prevent, should still strug-
gle and plod and toll under a burden Of
debt they can never discharge, and leave it
as legacy to their children, when the wealth
it was based has vanished before the nemesis
of war.
A commercial community like ours has 8
right to the benefits which may be derived
from the experience of her citizens, and tc
demand that they relieve themselves from
the disabilities fixed. upon them by the ca
lamities of war, and give to the world agair
their aid, however insignificant it may seem
in rehabilitating and restoring its lost pros
perity.
We say the commercial world demand
this, and its lawgivers have, in conformit,
with that demand, enacted uniform law
upon the subject of Bankruptcy Throughout
the civilized world, and they have been il
force from the abolition of the Draconiar
code, B. G. 674, until the present day.
A man bound down by the leashes of ;
debt he cannot pay-who is ever struggling
but never free from the importantly of hi
creditors-is entitled to the sympathics o
all mankind; but when he rejects the relic
offered by the organized laws of society, ht
becomes a drone in the hive of industry
and, like his prototype, should be thrus
out from the society of his fellows, and left
to feed upon TIC husks that remain afrcl
the harvest is gathered.

AT CHAMBERS.
EXPARTE KERR.

On the return of the Marshal, Mr. Battle
submitted two notions:
1st. An attac'mcnt against G. w. Kirk,
for not making . sufficient returD.----.
2nd. A writ to some competent person to
bring the body, and call out the posse OF
the County if necessary
The first motion was not allowed. The
objection. that the return, as the Counsel
termed it. is not sworn to, and other obiec-
tions taken are not relevant; f.r this does
not purport to be a return, but refusal to
make a return by the orders of the Governor.
