DARING OUTRAGE IN NORTH CARoLINA.-A
dispatch from Wilmington, N. c., states that
on the night of the 10Th inst, the notorious
berton, the county seat of Robson county, and
after breaking into a carriage factory and OBJ
tanning tools, and taking horse and dray from
one of the stables in town, they proceeded to
the store of A. II. Mcleod, from whence a
heavy iron safe was taken and placed on the
dray They next visited the Sheriff's Office, in
the Comfy Court House, from which his iron
safe was also taken and placed with the other
With this plumber they started from the town.
Early the next morning the Sheriff, having dis.
covered the robbery, pursued the outlaws and
overlook them about three miles from town
but his force not being strong enough to cap
ture them he had to send back for more aid
Before that arrived, however, the robbers effect
ed their retreat, carrying off the money and
valuable papers they found in the safes, which
had been opened with the stolen tools. The
safes dray and horse were left behind. The
loss in money is about $22,000 belonging to
citizens who had deposited it with the Sheriff
for safe-keeping, there being no bank in the
town. About $1,000 worth Of goods were also
taken from McLeods store. There is now re-
ward of $65, 900 by the State government fol
the capture of the Lowrys, dead or alive
A SENTIMENTAL DEBToR.-The Bath Times
says a gentlemen in that city has debtor in
Boston who owes him square honest bill. In
response to repeated duns, he received day OF
two ago the following cooling epistle:
Boston, -. 1877
Dear Sr-I am in receipt of your favor with
your bill against me. My dear Sir, these are
times terrible the industry of the nation is par
alyzed; the hour is hard; our eyes wander te
the empire city of our land, and we are start
led. We stand by the cradle of Liberty in oul
own beloved city, and turn our eyes towards the
financial centre, Estate street) and we weep.
Love,-nay, life cannot draw one ounce of the
shining metal from its hidden vaults. Oh! man
pause and think! the winters SHOWS has fallen
the bitter frosts is sharp and keen, The wild
ows and the orphans are ON the right and left
hand. Bills for the staff of life (bread) alone
are paid for. How then can it be expected thai
bills formed in the diamond mornings of lone
ago, can be paid? Turn thy eyes towards
Calvery and never, never, again will you find i,
in your heart to send me that bill
Most truly and sincerely remain

The Pennsylvania railroad companies pro-
ide members of the Legislature with passes,
but before delivering the coveted pasteboard
oblige the candidate to sit for his photograph,
which is then neatly fastened on the document,
and the possibility of of whole township rid

Wouldn't it be more economical as well as
more in keeping with the truth to have these
gentlemen wear collar, inscribed: 1.-THE

THE Buffalo Commercial asks conundrum-
"Why is it that the Democratic party always
opposes every law that seeks to have a fair
vote and an honest count?" That, responds
the New York Commercial, is one of those u VS.
teries which we shall probably never under
stand until the party is dead, and Satan deliv-
ers the original agreement between them to its
administrators.

A cUNNINGLY DEVISED SCHEME TO DECEIVE
THE PEoPLE.-Perley writes of the last at
tempt of the foes of the President:
1t was demonstrated in Virginia during our
recent war for the suppression of the rebellion
that comparatively small force, indifferently
armed, scantily provisioned, and with no rea-
sonablc hope of success, could hold at bay for
years large army abundantly supplied in every
respect A similar scene has been witnessed in
the Senate of the United States ever since the
commencement of the present session. A small
body of Republican Senators, in their anxiety to
prevent the denomination of President Grant,
has managed to keep the remainder of the Re-
publican Senators Fon the aggressive, and to
effectually put stop to the transaction of the
public business. This was especially the case
last week, when resolution of inquiry into the
sale of arms was introduced, to which no Re
publican Senator would have made the slightest
objection, and which would have been passed
without dissenting vote but this would not
have stirred up angry debate. So the resolution
was purposely prefacsd with long preamble
setting forth statements which not half dozen
Senators would have Endorsed with their votes
until they could have been proven by the pro,
posed examination. The result was week OF
debate which, from all appearances, is to be
followed by several days more of talk ON the same
topic. This encourages the conspirators against
the denomination of Grant, and they make loud
proclamation all over the country-some in
open, defiant language; others by adroit and
sugar-coated inuendoes that the Administration
seeks to avoid any investigation. Never was
there within my recollection of public affairs a
more infamous or more cunningly managed
scheme laid to deceive the American people,
The Administration courts the most search
ing investigation into this and every other pub
lie act, and if it appears, as has been intimated,
that any official has accepted brides, he will be
summarily punished. Nor is this ALL Should
Mr.. Garrett Davis not recover his health so as
to make his much talked of speech in the Senate
in support of a series of resolutions, arraigning
the President on a variety of charges, some
friend of the Administration will call them
up and have the proposed investigation made.
Gen. Grant may have been deceived in the ap-
pointment of some of his many subordinate
officials, but he will not quietly have aspersions
cast upon his reputation by those who, FOR per-
sonal reasons have substituted political bitter
ness toward him in the place of professions of
friendship. The proposed investigations must
be fairly and squarely made, 'if it should take
all Simmer -

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD BLoCKADE.-A des-
patch from Assistant Superintendent Clark at
Laramie says that the cars for the Japanese
will be there Wednesday and that the road is
open. On the other hand the telegraph reports
the roads blocked at several points badly. Au-
thentic news is very meagre. The most inter-
esting of all subjects are the descriptions by the
passengers of their experience in the snow
blockade, their labor shoveling snow day and
night, frequently amid the bowling storm and
bitter cold, their organizations to work and suf-
fer to save women and children, their hardships
and privations, their great peril and the oppor-
tune assistance from United States troops
Their story is stranger than fiction. Some of
the passengers still remain here sick with fever
and two this afternoon are almost beyond the
hope of recovery.
All agree there was much want and distress
but statements differ as to the neglect or incom-
potency of the railroad officers Well known
and responsible parties report that the material
and force of the road were inadequate, but that
Superintendent Sickles, and officers under him
did everything in their power and hesitated at
no personal danger or sacrifice to help the pas
sengers and open their road.

At Georgetown, this county, on Friday, the
2Slh of June, Mr. DAVID l.. DITTY, aged 20
years, months and "a days.
The deceased was one of the most exemplary
young men in the lowor end of this county.
Having carried on the mercantile business in
connection with his father for number of years,
he was widely and favorably known ns an up
right aud thorough business man. In all his
business relations every one that came in con-
tact with him learned to love him, and none to
hate him. In his dealings with his customers,
he was most liberal, fair and honorable. His
carly death has east gloom over the whole
neighborhool, as his loss cannot well be restored.
In his demise his parents have lost an obcdieut
son, the church worthy member, the Sunday
school jealous worker, the fraternaty of Odd
Fellows one its worthiest members, and the COM
munty one of its best citizens. His funeral was
attended by the largest concoursc of relatives
and friends that has ever assembled in that
place. His remains were inferred by the honors
of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, OF
which Order he was a brilliant member.
In this place, on the 3Oth ult., Mr.. JOHN
