England thus deprived North Carolina
of the Senator of her choice, and com
PEELED her to send another in his stead,
another who in our late contest was like
Vance a rebel and a fighting rebel, but
who had not served in Congress before
the war as Vance, though the latter re-
mained faithful to the Union till after
the close of his term. i protest against
the Acknowledgement Of State, pre-
sumptively of a number of States, on
grounds so narrow and technical as this.
The fact that the same Senate which re-
fused Vance his seat proceeded to remove
his disabilities after the seat had been
filled by another, only serves to place in
the strongest light the indignity to North
Carolina and the arbitrary, capricicus
tyranny which dictated it.
thank you gentlemen, that my name
is to be conspicuously associated with
yours in determined effort to render
amnesty complete and universal in spirit
as well as in letter. Even defeat in such
cause would leave nothing, while tri.
umph would rank with those victories
which no blood redressess and which
evoke no tear but those of gratitude and
joy.
Gentlemen, your platform, which is
also mine, assures me that the Democra-
cy is not henceforth to stand for one
thing and Republioanism for another,
but that those terms are to mean in poll
tics as they always have meant in the
dictionary, substantially one and the
same thing, viz; equal rights, regardless
of creed cline or color. hail this as q
genuine new departure from outworr
feuds and meaningless contentious, in the
direction of progress and reform.
Whether / shall be found worthy t.
bear the standard of the great Libera
movement which the American peopl'
have inaugerated is to be determined no
by words, but by deeds. With me, if
steadily advance, over me if l falter, thi
grand array moves to achieve for oul
country her glorious benefcent destiny

A Man Married 10 Another Man
Seventeen Years Ago Now DE-
nianSiing % Divorce.

Prom the st. Louis Democrat
The Carlinville correspondent Of the
Democrat relates the following story, the
circumstances of which, while they are
exceedingly sensational, can be vouched
for by persons residing in this city.
One of the most remarkable divorce
cases on record has been begun, and it is
to be tried at the August term Of the
Macoupin county Circuit Court. The
parties have lived together for seventeen
years, known tothe world as husband
and wife. The reputed husband now
files bill, alleging the so-called marriage
to have taken place in Macoupin county
in 1855, and praying for a divorce on
the ground that the person TO whom he
was then formally married is not wo-
man, although previous to and at the
time of said reputed marriage he was in
duced to believe the person aforesaid to
be a woman. II the allegations Of the
bill and outside parties are true, the trial
will show the extraordinary case Of two
men having lived together for this long
period Of time in the character Of hus-
band and wife, an instance, in other
words, in which natural eunuch has
been able to personate the female char
acter and US such to 60 through the sol
emn external forms of marriage, and
then 10 continue for so many years to de
oeiye neighbors and even intimate friepds
as to his real sex. The complainant al
leges that his ignorance Of the laws Of
this country, he being German, and
the advice of suppose competent parties
prevented him from filing a bill for re
lease long ago from the bondage Of thi
pseudo marriage. As the parties hay'
accumulated considerable property,
will be point Of great interest for tn
court to decide upon it, equitable diyh
ion, in case Of dissolution Of the eur
Gus copartnership.

able and forcible manner, showing up the
corruptions of the Radicals in the matter

Col. Talbot spoke next for some fifteen
minutes, during which time the great

the rapidity Of drama, and if he had

taken up in personal explanations and

consistent Democrat than his competitors,
and especially that he was better blue

AYERS SENTENCED.

AYERS SENTENCED.
The Governor, after considering the
matter for considerable time, las finally
decided that the sentence Of the Court
in the case Of Ayers, shall bc executed
ON Friday SOth of August next
During the war Ayers and Bell claim
ing to be Federal soldiers arrested Ma
rion Dafron, Of this county, a soldier in
the Confederate army, but at that time
home on n furlough on account Of sick
ness, and pretended that they were going
TO take him to Col. Bramlette's regiment
at the time stationed near jamestown,
Kentucky.
After leaving the house Of Mr.. Ethay-
non Dafron, the prisoners father, ashort
distance they halted for some purpose
when Mr.. Dafron and a neighbor Of his
came up with them and tried TO prevail
upon them to release his son. Bell, how
ever, leveled his gun upon them and de
clared that he would kill them if they
did not leave the spot Immediately, and
was actually preparing to execute his
threat upon the person of Mr.. Dafron
when Ayers interiered and prevented it.
Dafron and his neighbor then retired.
Shortly afterwards they heard reports Of
a gun and pistols in the direction of the
party, and rs soon rs they thought safe
returned to the spot and found young
Dairon dead, his body pierced by some
FIVE or six gun and pistol balls.
Ayers and Bell were arrested in Bar
ren county two or three years ago and
lodged in Jail at this place. At the last
November term Of our court Ayers was
put upon trial, found guilty of murder
and sentenced to be hung on the second
Saturday Of February. A short time
before the day of execution he, with some
three or four Others, made his escape, by
cutting through the iron grating Of the
ell, and made his way into Illinois un-
|er the name Of Crabtree. He says that
his wife revealed his real name TO lady
with whom they were stopping who COM
municated it to the sheriff and in May
last he was returned to Jail here.
Bell. his accomplice, confessed that he
was party to the killing of Dafron and
without trial was sentenced by the court
TO twenty years imprisonment in the peni.
tentisry. He afterwards acknowledged
that he did the killing and that Ayers
had no hand in it. From this petition
was gotten up and sent to the Governor
asking him TO commute the sentence Of
the court to twenty years in the peniten'
iary also. The result is stated above.
Public sentiment is opposed to the ex'
ecution of Ayers, inasmuch as the guiltiei
party receives milder punishment.

The PRESIDENTS PAY.-The question of
the increase of the salary of the President OF
the United States is again brought to the
attention OF Congress, and finds able advocates
as well as able opponents. To make long
story short we will give the gist of the argu-
ments on both sides, as briefly as we may, and
let our readers take their choice between
them: The advocates of the measure contend
that |. The present salary is insufficient. 2. 1t
was fixed when the expenses of the Office were
comparatively small g. The purchasing power
of the money has decreased. T. Fifty thousand
dollars per annum would be dcspised by money.
seekers. 5. The people don't want the Prcsi-
dent to live in 'smple republican style" 6.
1t Is trivial matter altogether Against the
increase it is represented l. The Office is one
OF honor and dignity, not of emolument. ..
The present salary with incidentals is equal TO
one OF $4,000 per annum. 3. The country
Is IN debt. 4. Greedy politicians would deem
$4,000 year and the incdentals worth look
Ing after. 5. The Executive ought to give an
example of economy, simplicity, and retrench
ment. 6. The proposed increase would force

HE lanes, ETC.--The two leading Demo.
cratic organs of this State seem to think that
the present State tax law is the grandest en-
bodlment of legislative wisdom that was ever
enacted, and really appear to regard il as pre.
sumption torany one to question its provisions or
suggest more equitable clauses in lieu of some
OF Its measures. They seem to regard il as
entirely beyond the ability of human legislators
to suggest the slightest improvement in the
law When told that it should be made to
exact its tributes from accumulated wealth
rather than struggling industry they quietly
inslnuate that this cannot be done. When
told that 1t makes the debtor, instead of the
bondhoIder, pay the tax on the bonds. witb,ut
denying the injustice of the measure they ex
onerate the law, condemn the bondholder. and
assert that there is no remedy for it. When
told that the tax on travel works unjust dis
crinlnatIon, and that the tax on loan associa.
tlons ought to be removed, they say, without
arguing for the case, that some men object to
e ell taxes, and would pay no tribute to the
state II not compelled. When told that the
board OF Trade, the Work rkingmen's League.
ana various organic atoms Of a non partisan
nature nave recommended the repeal of these
measures they merely reply that New Castle
county wa'.- - run the Legislature.
S"ou.4 lns Democrats insist upon retaining
the law intact they will find the Republican
element in the legislature bull in their China
shop 1t is question of the people. not n
question of politics, and the party that best
meets the demands of the people, whatever
be its name, is the party to win If the Dem
ocrats ignore this fact, and keep this load upon
the taxpayers, they will find that they have
heaped burden upon themselves too intole,.
able to be borne.
