is, in Radical speech and estimation, a re-
spectacle colorcd man, but the moment he
dares to come out for Greeley, he becomes,
according to the highest Radical authori-
ties nigger," and traitor to his race.
The Raleigh Era set the example in this
sort of thing, and other radical papers are
following it. We take the following from
the Statesville american, one of the latter
day converts to Radicalism.
On! YE BRINDLE-TAIIs General
Senator Matt Ransom has hired three buck
negroes in Washington City, to come and
MAKE speeches in North Carolina. They
made their first appearance in brindle-
tail meeting at Weldon, last week. Make
note of that, ye negro hating brindle-
tails Of Iredell! Had ye not better send
and get niger, too, to assist Tom Too
ter, Frank Doodle and Charlie RdttIeSndp
TO uphold your cause and speechify for
Horace Greeley.
Now, it so happens that one of these same
hired buck negroes ~ was only few
weeks ago all elector on the Grant ticket
in Maryland, and a man i'll high standing
in the Radical Party! To-day he is Ge-
scribed as " nigger,"" hired buck ne
gro," and for no other reason than that he
chooses to exercise his right as free man
in voting for President Of the United
States!
We had supposed that if there was a
consistent Republican or Radical in the
country, it was this same man Saunders,
whom the american designates as 50 hired
buck negro" We we'll remember hearing
of him in the State of Florida in the trOu-
blOus times just after the war. In fact, SO
far as VIC could see, be welded more power
and influence in that State than any other
man in it. Everywhere one went there was
something to tell, or to be told about this
same hired buck negro" He was, how
ever, not so called then. g Colonel Saun-
ders was then the word, and when he
went from one portion Of the State TO an
other i'll his political tours, Federal ambu-
lanccs, and if we mistake not, Federal
troops, went with him. Those were days
not to be forgotten by men who witnessed
them.
And this is the man that Radicals called
g hired buck negro.' Alas Alas
Was there ever baser ingratitude But lei
the Radicals call him what they will, this
same man Saunders has plenty OF brains
they say, and knows how to use them.

Interesting Experiment.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
r. II. Co. has made an experiment which
by its successful result seems to have
solved the labor question so far as that
corporation is concerned. Several months
ago the superintendent initiated the plan OF
paying the employees of the company by
the hour. The mecanics in the shops
of the company were all paid by
this standard, while engineers and other
train men were paid according to the num-
Der of miles they ran. The latter plan,
although obviously liable to produce inc
qualities of compensation, is said to have
worked satisfactorily, so that in busy sea-
SONS the engineers made as much as $50
q month.
In the shops the men were employed all
through the season, but worked a reduced
number of hours, while in slack times they
were also employed fewer hours, instead
of being discharged. At first some Of the
workmen objected, but trial of the scheme
is said 20 have convinced all of them OF its
fairness. 1t affords the corporation per-
feet protection against strikes, and re-
moves ali causes of ill-feeling between the
employers and the employed. The success
Of the experiment renders 1t worthy OF at
fentiOn. To some extent the same mode
Of payment is pracrced by the Reading
Railroad Company. The brakesmen, and
probably the engineers and conductors,
are paid by the number OF trips made.
Wilmington journal., 1872-08-02

The secret of the great political revolu-
ton created in the country by the nomina-
ton of Horace Greeley lies III the fact that
he is universally regarded as an earnest,
honest advocate of the policy of peace and
reconciliation in the Southern States.
The investigations of the Southern Out
rage Congressional Committee have demon
strated to the Northern people the exist
ence OF state of things in our midst of
which they had not dreamed. 1t was
shown 20 the Northern people by the plain
est testimony that the fruits of the policy
hitherto pursued towards the South were
the suppression of all civil law and the sub
stitution of the rule of the bayonet an
enormous crushing load Of Public Debt
fraudulently and corruptly contracted; the
utter disregard of the right of local self
government and the prostration of every
branch of industry.
When the Northern people become salts
fed that all these evils really did blight and
curse the South and were not merely the
creatures of disturbed imaginations or the
vengeful men, they determined that a
policy which bore such fruits should no
longer be pursued.
Because of this determination ana IN
Difference to the growing popular feeling,
Horace Greeley was nominated as a candi-
date for the Presidency.
The South, with only few exceptions,
accepted the right hand of fellowship thus
extended in the selection of the man who
was the first and most persistent advocate
of generous and magnanimous treatment
of her people.
SO strong was the desire on the part
of good men at the North to come
to the relief Of their brethren OF the South,
that when the National Democratic Con-
ventiOn met, Northern Democrats, yield
ing the prejudices Of life time, said to our
delegates, ''if you gentlemen Of the South
think the nomination of Mr.. Greeley
promises the quickest and surest reStOra-
ton Of constitutional government to your
oppressed people, we Will join you in
bringing about his election, although he
has ever been our political enemy"
Never before in the history Ofthe world,
was ever such Z spectacle witnessed. This
history Of events since the baltimore Con-
vcntion demonstrates that these prOtesta-
tions on the part of Northern men were
neither vain nor idle.
Every day the great movement increases
( III magnitude. In every State and in every
/ county, men who have hitherto sustained
! the policy of punishment and bloody retri-
button to the South, are joining the ranks
/ OF the Greeley allies.
! The secret of all this, us we have said
lies i'll the fact that Greeley is the exponent
! of Il policy Of peace and recont iiiatiOn in
the south, and thai General Grant is the
exponent of that policy which requires for
its execution the suspension Of the writ nf
Uo5cGs Corpus, fraud, corruption, and dis
regard of the right of local scltgov-
erIlnent.

WE clip the following from the New
Y ork Tribune

WE clip the following from the New
York Tribune .:
Supervisor Perry, Of North Carolina, is
in the city, and says that the Grant ticket
will carry by 10000 majority. Perry is
ranting CarpeL-bagger from Maine, who
makes no cOncCalmentS, and he to-day
boldly asserted, owe The officers Of
Internal Revenue" are doing no revenue
business now, and we haven't done any
thing outside Of politics for months past
We are working like beavers" lie said
he had been all over the State, and that
he is sure OF the majority stated.
Supervisor Perry, better known in North
Carolina rs Long Perry" no doubt tells
the truth when he says the kcvenuc Gill
GERS III this State have for months been
acting as recruiting agents for Grant, to
the neglect Of their official duties, but as to
the 10000 majority for Caldwell, he Will
tell different tale two weeks from to-
day,
Neglect of duty is now the rule, and not
the exception with Federal officials.
The President himself sets the example,
and Cabinet officials follow it closely.
Boutwell, is now in North Carolina, though
he admits that when Grant rendered him
the Treasurer's office, he did not suppose
that one OF its duties would be to canVass
North Carolina. lie is, however, hard at
work.
Delano, of the Interior Department, is
here or soon will be.
Robeson, the head of the Navy, also, it
is said, will come.
Williams, the Attorney-Gencral, has al
ready attended to Oregon
Sherman is in Europe.
To come from great to small, Thomas
B. Long, mail agent on railroad west OF
Salisbury, is carrvassing down here among
| us Eastern people.
But the list of this sort of people is too
long to publish. We notice Long only be-
cause of his recent visit to our city.

The following resolution, introduced at
Democratic Meeting at Columbus, Geor::
gia, by that veteran soldier and patriot,
General Benning, will find responsive
echo in the hearts of thousands of Colonel
LAAIAR's friends throughout the South.
We are glad to know that the resolution
was adopted with universal applause and
cheers.
Georgia is as much indebted 10 Colonel
A. z. LAMAR as to any ether man in her
borders for her present proud position
among her Southern sisters. AT the head
of one Of the leading papers Of the State,
he was among the first and ablest, and the
very boldest to speak out III her behalf
When others covered at the encrOacL-
ments of Federal power, he was foremost
in his opposition to bayonet law. Georgia
owes linn debt which she should be swift
to repay.
The following IS the resolution to which
we have referred:
Resolved, That this meeting respectfully pre-
sent the name OF our fellow-citiZen, A. X. La
mar EsG., as q suitable Cauti date Tor Congress
man at large. We think that his past services
in behalf of our oppressed people, and emlneltt !
qualification and fitness TOR the position, should
entitle him to the favorable consideration OF the

some other long word. While / was a
study'n about that spied the doctors sad
die bags sitting In the corner, so waited
till they went into supper, and then l got
the bags and looked to see what could
discover. Nearly the first thing saw a
piece OF lunar caustic. l slipped It into my
pocket, for had my plan as soon as saw
1t. Well, / watched around till saw one
Of the girls go to the pail with pitcher 80
went out and asked her What she was 60
ing to do with 1t she said she was going
to carry it TO the room for the doctor and
Polly to wash their faces in. I kept talk
ing to her while she was filling the pitcher,
and when she turned her head dropped
the caustic into it. It was then about bed
time, and got my hat and put out, but l
couldn't help laughing all the way home,
whenever I'd think about the next morn
ing.
Well, Squire, they do say that when
they walked up next morning they both
had the hardest kind offits, each one think
ing they had been sleeping with a nigger.
Oh! it was rich! lie cussin' and tear

and hands all as black as the inside Of an
old stove pipe. I'd give half my interest
in tother world just to have been at some
safe place where / could have seen the
whole row. AS soon as they found out
that they were really the same folks that
married the night before, the called for
warm water and soap, but just here the
doctor happened to think about the pitch
er and took it to the door to see what was
the matter. There was a little piece Of
caustic that had not dissolved, and as soon
as he saw it he says
It's no use washing, Polly all the soap
in New York can't wash the black off,"
That was the truth, Squire soap and
water had no more effect than it would on
native born African, and all the chance
was to wait and let it wear off. How long

A friend writing to us from Marion,
Mcdowell county, on the 25th Of July,
says:
Governor Vance, Senator Ransom, Hon.
i. f. ShOber and Colonel Hinton, of Vir-
gnia, spoke to at least three thousand
persons here yesterday. 1t is useless for
me to say they all made most telling
speeches. Governor Vance led of, Scna-
tor Ransom followed, and then came the
barbecue, of which all had plenty and TO
spare. Then Colonel Hinton spoke, who
handled carpct-baggers and scallawags with
gloves of.
The crops were never better than now
in this section; in fact, this is the case all
along the line of the railroad from Will
mingtOn to this point, excepting few
farms near GOldsbOrO'.
| have never seen more enthusiasm than
| find in this county. The RAIDS seem low
spirited, and well they may, for their days
are numbered.

The New Y York E'Sun" notes the strange
fact that President Lincoln's first Cabinet
consisted of Messrs. Seward, Chase, Came
ron, Welles, Blair, Smith and Bates. The
two last named are dead. Cameron is for
Grant. Chase, We!les and Blair are for
Greeley. Whe.e stands Gov. Seward?
When Mr.. Lincoln first became Presi-
dent there were thirty-One Republicans in
the Senate. OF these Senators six are
dead, thirteen are for Grant, ten for Gree
ley, and of the opinions Of the remaining
two we have as yet no certain information.
We refer to Mr.. Harris, of New York, and
Mr.. Clark, OF New Hampshire.
Nevertheless, we are told that the Re

The Shenandoah (Va.) Herald tells tho
following sad story:
"On Saturday last the inhabitants of this
borough witnessed a very extraordinary
and sad funeral. Three generations, q
grandmother, q mother and u baby wc1e
Inferred together. The first, Mrs. Hum
sicker, was attending one Of her daughters,
who was laid up with smallpox, until
nearly recovered, when she was taken ill.
Oyerpowered by fatigue and care, the old
woman could not face the complaint, and
the fourth day she fell a victim to it,, She
was the mother OF six children, and had
the rare fortune to sec them all grown up
satisfactorily settled in life. She had
twenty-one grandchildren, eighteen Of
whom are alive. The very day Mrs, Hum
sicker was taken sick, her daughter, Mrs
Seelbach, was also laid up, and survived
her mother only sixteen hours. She leaves
a grieved husband and three young chill
dren; the fourth was still born during the
illness and buried with the mother"
