FINIsHED.-The improvements on
the mill race on the East side of the river,
undertaken by Messrs. Miller & Sleeper,
were completed last week. There is now
a good supply of water in the canal, consid-
the low condition of the river, and the re-
suit of the work may be set down as a vast
improvement to our water power. With
all the leakages stopped, and the improve
ments that have been.made, it is supposed that
hereafter the supply of water will be am
pie to enable our mill owners to run by
water power nearly the entire year. The
Grist mill of Mr.. George Smith, and the
Sash and Blind mandatory OF Mr. G. B.
Lewis, commenced running the latter part
of last week. On Monday the Touring
mill of Messrs Miller & Sleeper resumed OPP
erations by water, and all interested rejoice
at the prospect ahead.

Opening of the Campaign
Speech by Matt H. Carpenter.

The Republicans of this city had glori-
Gus opening of the campaign at Turner
Hall, last Wednesday evening, July 3lst
AT an early hour the hall was filed with a
large and brilliant audience, estimated at
from 1000 to 1920 people, composed of
both Republicans and Democrats, and a
number OF the fair sex. The meeting was
called to order by the selection of Ex-Mayor
Hon. Theodore Prentiss, an old Democrat,
as chairman, who introduced to the vast
audience Hon. Matt. H. Carpenter, United
States Senator from Wisconsin. Senator
Carpenter proceeded to address his hearers in
well timed, eloquent and forcible speech,
which occupied nearly two hours in deliv-
cry. The able Senator carried conviction at
every point, successfully overthrowing all
the charges brought against Gen, Grant and
his administration by the designing enemies
of the Republican party, ard showing to the
satisfaction of every thinking and candid
mind present that the cause Of good govern
ment was still safe in the hands of the old
Republican party of the nation. He made
it quite apparent to the Democrats that in
this campaign they were left the alternative
of choosing between two Republicans for
President, one in the regular order of sue
cession and the other usually entertaining
such radical and ultra sentiments that it was
seldom he found himself in strict accord
with the party. To-day it was seen that
Mr.. Greeley received his most cordial sup
port from Tammany, that portion of the
Democracy which had been repudiated by
the better classes existing in the party, and
who would surely be restored to power with
Greeley's success. Therefore all Democrats
in favor of an honest administration of the
government must favor the continuing of
Gen. Grant in power rather than the election
OF Greeley and the restoration of all the
dangerous elements surrounding him.
80 far as the charges of corruption against
the present administration were concerned,
Senator Carpenter said that it could be
proved by actual figures that no administra-
tion for the past twenty-five years could
show less defalcations or so little lost in pro-
portion to the amount of money collected as
the Grant administration. But it would be
impossible for us to follow the speaker all
through his arguments suffice it to say they
were able, convincing and to the point, m ain
tanning his we'll earned and widespread re-
putation as powerful advocate, and making
a deep impression on all within sound of his
voice. Senator Carpenter was followed by
Hon. G. W. Hazelton, Member of Congress
from this district, who made few remarks,
the Iateness of the hour preventing him from
making an extended speech.
The meeting adjourned with the best of
feeling, and by unan imous consent it is con-
coded that a more successful, orderly or
profitable meeting was never held in this
city by any political party The Republi-
cans here feel proud and hopeful over the aus
picious opening of the campaign in Their
midst, sanguine that it is sure presage of
victory for the old party in November

THE FIRST GUN KICKING BA

THE FIRST GUN KICKING BACK
When the very "liberal" returns came in
from the North Carolina election last Fri
day, through Greeley channels, to the eff
by l2,0G0 majority, the democrats and lib
erals of this city became so beside themselves
with their success in having carried a
democratic state, that they determined to
''enthuse" and show ''the faith that was in
them" To this end the brass band was
brought into requisition and on the sides of
the vehicle containing the music painted on
cloth, were the following notices, which of
course made every Republican trembe in
his boots: The first shot North Carolina
Democratic by $4,000 majority Hurrah for
Greeley and Brown! In the evening mass
meeting was improvised Oh the corr er OF
Main and Second streets and the small crowd
addressed from the ba cony of Dr. SOL
lday's office, by Mr.. Smith, of Madison.
But the figures since received do not cor
respond with those borne aloft on the band
wagon, and our friends are seriously consid
ering the propriety of taking off the first
figure thus making the announcement
1000, while even the obliteration of the
rear cipher is suggested a being nearer the
actual thing. Twenty-four hours from now
we think they will be content to give up
the figure 3, leaving nothing but the bare
ciphers to denote their overwhelming vic
tory In order to arouse the ire of the
Greeleyites about here all you have to do
is to asis-thern- if they have heard from
North Carolina
