beyond question. rs the most searching in

Now We ask, in Ill t'rAnkucss. upon what
reasonable ground can this fact be account
el for either than that the Radical party Of
the State, IN is policy and practices, fosters
crime and vice? How is it that bad men

OF them of the moanest type and ''Strait-

there is no way OF getting around it, radi-

Lieut.. GOVcrn0r-Maj. John Hughes

! am glad to discover a very general in
tereSt among the tax paying people Of the
State in the approaching Conservative Con
ventiOn that is to assemble i'll Greensboro,
May list, and it is right this should be so;
for much Of good or evil will depend upon
the action of that body. If they will give
us good nominees, platform or no platform,
we will win, for platform il. already adop-
ted in the mind and purpose of every true
son (native OF adOpted) of North Carolina
that is, lO1rn 1rith rddiCdlism.
A number of names of prominent gen
tlemen have been suggested for Governor
and Lieut.. Governor, all - good men and
true, -lnen worthy every way Of the pub
lie confidence. There seems, however, to
be general impression that the nominee
for the first Office is to come from he West,
and of course, the man for Lieut.. Cover
nor will he selected from the East.
Now, Messrs. Editors, while northeast
crn North Carolina is so fortunate as to
possess many noble sons, | hope | may be
excused for suggesting the name OF one,
who, | think, possesses strong and peculiar
claims upon the Democratic party of the
State. | allude to the gentleman whose
name heads this article, Mai. John Hughes,
Of New bern. This gentleman has persist
emily and most nobly opposed Radicalism
in all its forms. He has canvassed the
Guilty DIS lllc '7tilttt, tllCl
he has not limited his efforts to Craven,
but has gone where he could do most
good; and whether candidate or not, he
has, dming every campaign, worked with
all his might and with zeal few have
evinced and under the most discouraging
circumstances ''has kept the faith and
fought good fight" influenced by no
consideration except sense Of public
duty to his native State. | will
venture to assert that there is not
Democrat in North Carolina that
has labored as constantly, as zealously and
| SO persistently in behalf of conservative
principles under discouraging circum-
| stances, as Major Hughes. But this is not
| all, something is due to this section, and
! especially to this county, for there is rot to
be found in the State body of more active
and faithful Conservatives than iii the
county of Craven-tOr while i'll a hopeless
minority they have run candidates every
| year and worked for them too. Are not
such people entitled to some considera-
ton? l hope the Greensboro Convention
will show its appreciation of such people
! by nominating for Lieut.. Governor, this
| faithful and able leader, and thus confer
hOnOrswhere is due, which will be duly ap
preciated by the citizens of his native
/ county of CRAyEN.

LAUGHING,


never saw Frenchman laugh. They
smile, they grin, they sllrug ZIP their sholll-
ders. They dance, they cry "Ha w and
Cieln' but they never give themselves up
to boisterous, unlimited laughter. They
have always rein upon their lungs, and
their muscles are drilled to order. Their
mirth does not SAVIOR of flesh and blood. 1
do not intend 10 contend for that pam
pered laugh which grows less and less, in
proportion as it is high fed $50 gin given to
children stop their growth,) for good
broad English laugh, such as belongs to a
farce or fair. The Germans laugh some
times, the Flemings often, the Irish always;
the SpAniard's face is fused, the Scotch
mans thawed into laugh; but a French
man never laughs. They smile, indeed ;
but what then? their merriment squeezed
and strained, there is something of the
acid of their salads, something of the pun
gency Of their sauces, but nothing substan-
tial it is neither solid nor ethereal, but a
thing between wind and water not of
earth or heaven, good nor bad, but william
ously Indifferent, and not to be admitted as
mirth.-LOndon Magazine.

dom ?n she syeetly replied, g 1t was no
more than would have done for your ma
iesty had YOU been in his place." She was
hardened and released, with her kindred.
and became an object,of great attraction in
London. Her house was crowded with
noble visitors who congratulated her upon
her release, and poured money into her
Ian. a chaise and four horses were pro-
-yided to convey her back to Scotland; and
so the fair young girl who went to Lon
don to be hanged, returned in state, follow
ed by the blessings of thousands.
Four years after her release, Flora mar
ried Allan Mcdonald the son of the Laird
of Kingsburgh, and not long afterward she
became the mistress of the mansion where
in Prince Charles slept in the Isle of Skye.
There, in 1878, she entertained DIR. John
son and Boswell, and allowed them to oc-
cupy the same bed on which the Prince
had reposed. Although she had then been
a wife twenty yeass, and was the mother of
many children, her guests spoke of her as a
beautiful, blooming woman. Her husband
was then in embarrassed circumstances,
and they contemplated going to join their
countrymen who had emigrated in large
numbers to \ orth Carolina. Thither they
went in 1915, but failed in finding coveted
repose. The old war for independence was
then kindling. Loyal to the house of Stew
art, she was now as loyal to the house OF
Hanover or Brunswick; and she was great
ly instrumental in arousing her countrymen
in the vicinity Of Cape Fear, to take up
arms Tor the Crown. She and her kinsmen
suffered great calamities after the battle of
Moore's Creek, in February, 1776, in which
they were defeated; and soon after the re-
lease of her husband from Halifax jail, they
and their children embarked in an English
sloOp-of-war, for Scotland. The vessel was
attacked by a French cruiser, and its crew
! becoming disheartened, were about to sur
render, when Flora appeared on the quar-
ter-deck, and by stirring appeal animated
them with such fresh courage that they
beat of their assailants and reached Great
Britain in safety. While on deck Flora was
severely wounded in the hand, but she paid
no attention to it until she had seen hcI
companions victorious.
Flora Mcdonald lived until the 9Th OF
March, 100. At her request her shrOud
was made OF the sheets i'll which the Prince
! slept at Kingsburgh; and her remains were
followed to the grave in the cemetery OF
Kilmin i'll the Isle Of Skye, by at least
| three thousand persons. For eighty years
| their resting place was covered only by the
| green sWartl. In 1871 beautiful monu
| ment was erected over them to the mem
! DRY OF her loyalty, bravery and virtue.
| Such is a brief outline Of the story O
| Flora McDonald's life. A volume woulc
| be needed TO contain record of its stirring
! Incidents, in detail.

several DAYS of patient investigation bound
him over in a bond of 100000 TO the
Spring Term of the Superior Court OF Cum
berland county, at which term true blii
was found against him L. the grand jury,
and upon his motion the case was re-
moved for trial to the county OF Moore
At the last term of the Court the case was
continued on account Of the absence OF
material witness and the trial appointed
for Wednesday of the present term. The
prosecution was ably presented by the So
ilcitor, NELL Mckay, Esq, aud Major JAS:
G, McRae, While the accused was defended
with all the elopuence and legal learning OF
Hon. II. c. Fuller. The trial continued
three days, and too much honor cannot be
rendered to Judge Buxton for the dignity,
impaltialitv and intimate knowledge OF the
law which he displayed. Among the nu-
merous points taken by the defendants
counsel and sustained by his Honor, was
one of vr1{ great importance, and which,
if sustained by the Supreme Court, VIII
render void all the special tax bonds ana
release the State from large part OF her
Indebtedness His Honor held. that, as the
constitution prescribes that the acts pro-
vidinr for the issue of these bonds must
also icru tax to pay the annual interest
thereon, and as these acts did not levy
such tax but directed that such tax ''shdH
be levied" merely rciterating and repeat
inc the words Of the constitution, therefore
the issuing Of such bonds was unconstitu-
tionaI. but that the defendant in this case
could not he benefited by this because he
had received these bonds as trustee for
the company, and was liable to Indictment
for not accounting for them. Under the
charge of the judge the jury returned
verdict of g,iTy. The learned counsel then
presented many points of law in arrest OF
Judgment, which, after able argument,
were all overruled, and the defendant was
sentenced to pay fine of ten thousand
dollars and to be imprisoned in the p@niten-
tiarv for twelve months, from which judS-
ment an appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. The wheels Of Justice move slowly
but surely, and it is hoped that ali the
plundcrers of the peoples money, and all
those vulturcs who have been preying upon
the vitals of an impoverished people, may
vet be brought to the bar of justice, and
the fair fame and good name OF North
Carolina he indicated. Hal.

Carl Sehurz.S Last Words in the Arms
Debate.

In closing the debate on the sale of
arms to the French, in the Senate, Senator
Schurz, replying to Mr.. Frelinghuysen,
said ..
And now, sir, l shall not initiate the ex-
ample of others in going over the whole
political field. l may express my opinions
upon several subjects that have been dis
cussed here upon another and more fitting
occasion. The Senator from New jersey
yesterday closed his speech with a some
what high-fOwn eulOgy on the President
a eulOgy which, let me say we heard yes
terday from his lips by no means the first
time. l find no fault with him, for [ sup
pose his lips are merely running over with
what his heart is so full Of. He must par
don me if cannot share in the gushing
fervOr of his worship. l believe when all
the stock OF panegyric is exhausted, that
then the people Of the United States are
still entitled to ask some questions. | re-
member the time, and it was at the very
commencement of my senatorial career,
when We discussed here the repeal of the
tenTlre-of-Office law, and when Mr.. Fessen-
den, whose name and memory We all
revere, made remark which went
straight to my heart; for the edficatiOn
Of the Senate permit me to read it. He
said
81 think the day has gone by when with
8ODu IdSLc We mere III Jne OendL0-Luon OF
| some consequence, representing States Of
| this Union, considering ourselves great men
| in our way-should thinl- it necessary to be
! continually slabbering the President, and
| talking about his victories and his battles,
and all that SOFT of thing. Sir, he has
| ceased to be 4 General, in the ordinary
sense of the word he is nothing now but
! President of the United States.''
| Aud whatever you may say Of William
| Pitt Fessenden, all of us who knew him
/ will admit that he was a man. The Sena-
tor from New Jersey also alluded very
! touchingly to the men on the farms and in
the workshops. how they would cast aside
/ the report Of the debates, and say, E'What
! of it? We know the great warrior who
saved us at Nicksburg and Richmond and
| in him our faith will remain fixed.'' Sir,
let me tell the Senator that the men on the
/ farms and in the workshops are freemcn,
! and have the intelligence and pride Of free
men. They see no man SO high above
g., them that they would bow their heads to
/ the dust. They are grateful for the cap
I tluc Of Nicksb,Irg and for the victory of
! Richmond: but they know also that Nicks-
| burg is 10 longer to be captured, and that
! no hostile army intrenched around Rich
| mOnd is now to be beaten. They know
! that what the country now stands most in
! need of is free, honest and pure govern
j mcnt. If the Senator from New Jersey is
/ ready to appeal to the people, SO, sir am l..
