Sheriff Mckee and q posse of six
men wero absent several days last
week in Grayson and Cook Coun-
ties on q hunt for the McDonalds
who broke jail here last year, and
were reported to be in that section.
Tho officers of the law in those
counties also summoned Il large
number and assisted in the search.
One of the posse from Grayson
County camo up with and attempt
ed to arrest Bob Moore, supposed
TO DO one of that crowd, and u little
battle ensured, in which Moore was
shot four times andwounded slight,
Iy. He escaped TO the brush, but
being wounded concluded to sur
render, and accordingly gave him
selfup to three unarmed citizens
who were passing the road, and
was brought in last Tuesday by
Sheriff Mckee and party.
The McDonald's are yet at large,
with small probability of being
captured. 1t is reported probably
oxaggerated) that there are 40 of
them in the crowd, and they defy
tho civil authorities to arrest them.

roam heights of pride and principle
rs those occupied by Toombs Of
Georgia, and Wise, OF Virginia.
But these, alas are notpermittcd to
people circumstanced rs ours are.
Granted that the good book, as Mr..
Wise says, tells us we must not do
levil that good may come, yet there
is such u thing as choice Of evils
and even that "Lesser Evil" which
he so eloqucntly assails.
The good book tells us also, if we
are smitten on ono check We must
turn tho other. Tho Ex-Governor
Of Virginia was never known to
obey that maxiom of Scripture, and,
to quote q part of authority, he
must obey tho whole. Let us ad-
nit that Greeley is no better than
Grant as a political man, yet there
is a very great difference in their
surroundings. 1t We can do no
more, it will be great gain TO
break up that hornel'a nest at
Washington. 1t is too late to say
that Greeley is not the one to do it.
None feel that more bitterly than
wo do.
But now there is no other way,
and we look upon it as simply
waste of heroics to be hectoring on
the heights or crying over split
milk in the wales ofpolitics. There
is q stern practical duty to be per-
formed. 1t is no longer duty of
speculation, since Baltimore has
decided. 1t has become one of nc

Chappaqua, N. Y, July 13.-The
assemblage of the Democratic Com
mittce on the farm of Horace Gree.
ley to-day was merely social gath
ering or picnic. Greeley conduct.
ed various delegates over his farm
in the morning, and described the
peculiarities. A beautiful dinner
was served at one o'clock, after
which, Mr.. Greeley addressed a
meeting consisting of about five
hundred people. He said it was a
social gathering, having no other
purpose than a congregation for
pleasure. There were friends from
home, from far and from near, and
be wished they would frequently
visit him at his farm. The speak
er then described his sojourn at
Chappaqua for the last twenty
years, and said that in spite of what
the public might think of his farm
ing capabilities he could inform
them that he had lost nothing.
1t was true he had spent some
money, so had he lent some money,
and the latter had gone where the
"woodbine twineth." Whereas, the
money he had spent on bis farm
was to some good. At all events
he knew where it was.
His present property was bought
at the request of bis wife, and he
meant TO live and die on it.

The first election Of this campaign is
that in North Carolina, to be held August
l, for governor, lieutenant governor, and
other state officers, and eight members Of
congress. The administration understand
the Importance Of this election; they do not
want to meet with discontinue even in
this preliminary skirmisb; and this is the
explanation of the unusual interest they
take in the matter. They ore making des-
perate efforts to carry the State for the
radical ticket, and it is very probable they
will make use Of some schemes that are
neither fair nor crcditabIe. Secretary
Boutwell, is to speak at various places in
the State, ard other prominent Admins
traticn partisans will assist him in the
canvass. But if the people of North Caro-.
lima are left to free vote, they will give
