DISCOVERY OF CRIME.
The Incendiaries Who Destroyed Hen
dersen, North Carolina, In 1869.
From the Wilminpton stsr. |

From the Wilmington STAR
Sometime in the year 1869, the
large Touring mill belonging to DR..
Alex. Hawkins, near Henderson, in
Granville county, was destroyed by
fire. The f1ourishing town of Hender-
son was almost entirely laid waste by
the devouring element, early in the
spring 1870. The origin of these two
fires have remained mystery since;
human skill having failed to discover
the perpetratOr of the crime, until it
was decided to send after Robert B.
Craddock, detective Of Richmond,
Va, who arrived at Henderson last
week, unknown and unsupported.
Craddock matured his plans, and they
worked well. Monday morning last,
he found out, that one Sampson
Hawkins, colored, knew something
about both fres-and that Sampson
had Just left for Clarksvilie, Va. With
out revealing his mission, Crsddock
followed, and Monday evening, he
overlook Sampson Hawkins, In
Clarksville, and arrested him; Samp-
son confessed that he did burn the
barn and the mill-told how much he
got for each job; and that he might
have assisted in the burning of the
town of Henderson, but declin
through fear-that A. II. Davis, one
of the guard at the penitentiary, and
another man, now dead, planned,
plotted, and fred Henderson--that
they were the same men who en-
ployed hiLn to burn the mill. era
dock lodged Sampson Hawkins in
Oxford jail, and reached Raleigh
Tuesday morning, with magistrates
warrant for Davis-the Granville war
rant was countersigned by w. Whit
aker, ESQ.,, of Raleigh, but it seems
Davis was not employed at the peni-
tentiary. It Is, however, stated that
he has since been arrested in Hender-
son. The evidence, as represented by
detective 0raddock, Is conclusive.

Captain A. s. Robertson who died
on Wednesday at Nashville, served
gallantly throughout the late war on
the staff of General B. F. Chestham,
graduated with hOnors at the Lebanon
Law School, and commenced the
practice of his profession in the Office
of Colonel John G. Burch, editor OF
the Nashville Union and american.
Away g on duty, from the beginning
to the end OF the war, he was the
youngest, most extensively known,
and most beloved, by superior and
interiors In rank, of any officer in the
Western army.
The Nashville Banner OF Thursday
says: The cataloguing OF the books
at the State library, under the efficient
supervision of DR.. George 5. Blackie,
will soon be completed. The Doctor
has been indefatigibly engaged for
some time past in the arduOus lab0rs.
The books have been properly
arranged and classified, under the
plastic hands Of Mrs. Haskell, the en-
tire library has undergone complete
change, and has been made highly
attractive. There is now no place in
the city better worth visiting than the
State Library"

The election returns for ard against
the State Convention to reform the
State Constitution have not as yeS
come in sufficiently to warrant con-
clusion as to the result. The indica-
tions would seem to favor the conclu-
sion that the Convention would be
defeated. As it was given out by
Akermsn and other equally venal Of
fcials and tools Of His Majesty Ulysses
the First, that the Convention would
be set aside and its work oyerthrown
blythe United States Government, the
result may be easily accounted for.
Many of the timid would fear and
many Of the despsiring omit to vote
for it. The Government mas by a
threat only interiered with another
State right. Such, If the Convention
is defeated, and perhaps in any event,
viii be another accomplished fact. I"
Let the Departurists rejoice.

Pomerny Out for Grant.

NEW YORK, August 5.-An evening
paper publishes the report of an inter-
view had by a correspondent writing
from Kansas with Senator Pomeroy,
in which the Senator declares himself
for the denomination of Grant, and
says that his denomination is assured
from the new census apportonment,
which gives him the close, undivided
support of the Western States; that
he will receive the controlling in.
fiuence of the Democratic party, which
was hopelessly divided, and as to
measures and men its success there
was foreshadoWed. He pronounces
the labor question, civil reform and
franking privilege unmitigated hum
bugs-dead flies to catch gudgeons-
and measures that were impracticable.
1t was mistake, he said, to suppose
the West would not support the Re-
publican party because of its adherence
to the tariff, and that what thu West
demanded was the adjustment of the
tariff so as to give fair protection to
home productions.
