The Raleigh Sentinel says: Governor
Caldwell opened the campaign in Oxford
last week. Honest John Ragland and
Squire Richard Jones, 'fre-tried Republi-
cans of the original PANEL, proclaimed
against the Governor, declaring they would
not vote for him. Before the Governor
left town these two Republican leaders of
the negroes stuck up and sent out posters
that they would address the people in every
section of the county. The burden of their
song is that Caldwell is a usurper, and has
ruined the Republican party. If these
two Republicans of the original panel are
thus driven from the box, who will re-
main?
Mr.. JOS G. Abbott having been disposed
OF, MIR. Ransom comes i'll as Senator from
North Carolina, and for the first time since
1861 the Senate is full, IA members being
in their places. Passing by The antecedents
OF the Senators themselves, this spectacle
will be observed with satisfaction by the
whole country. 1t is not pleasant to be
obliged to note, with this return Of good feel
ing, bit of overdone sympathy Oh the part
OF the Senate, which agreed TO the report OF
; Senator Morton, to pay the mileage Of Mr.
Abbott, and Senator's pay from March i,
1871, to date. Nobody has ever pretended
that Mr.. AbbotC represented any constitu-
ency whatever. He claimed to be a Sena-
tor because he had several votes at an cleo
ton at which Il. b. Vance, who was politi-
cally disabled was chosen Senator. OF
course he got no seat in the Senate but, as
if by way of salve TO his disappointment, it
has been decided to give him pay and mile
age, just as though he had been Senator.
Mr.. Abbott's claim was one of amazing I'M
pudence; allowing him pay is simply making
All appropriation for the encouragement OF
contestants for seats.-N. Y. Tribune.
" Fashion - OF Funerals I'm New York.
The present innovation is to lay the body
upon a couch, dressed in its accustomed
! clothing, with a pillow under the head.
I The position is usually that of the right or
left side, and the hands are arranged in
some natural and easy position. If the
dead is lady, handsome shawl is thrown
! over the figure, and if man, an afghan or
silken quilt serves for a covering. Flowers
are in the room but not in such obtrtlsve
abundance as to make the odor of these
beautiful things haunt you forever after
ward. The funeral is announced and the
friends and acquaintance are invited,
through the public prints, to be present
and take leave Of the departed. No hearse
and no coffin aflront the sight and chill the
blood with those traditional sentirnens
which afIrighted our childish year,. =
