We were pleased to notice, during a
recent visit, very great improvement in tie
beautiful and thriving town of Tarboro.
The main street is being built up, with not
only substantial, but imposing brick
buildings, which add greatly to the appear
ance and importance Of the town.
Judge Howard, Mr.. w. S. Battle, Mr..
Joseph Cofield, and Mr.. II. d. Teel are
about finishing very elegant and tasty
stores, and DIcssrs. Fender, Gatiin Il Co.
also occupy a very fine store, completed
since our last visit to Tarboro.
Among the orher buildings in progress
is the one for the Branch Bank of New
Hanover, the walls Of which are nearly
finished, and it already gives evidence both
of architectural Feauty and business con-
yenience in its construction.
There is an air of prosperity and thrift
about Tarboro, unmistakablc Of growth in
population and wealth.
We We're glad to meet during our visit
With two old Wilmington friends, Major
James ID. Cumming, Cashier Of the
Captain $. S. Nash, who represents in
Tarboro the firms Of Williams 81 Murchi
son, Of this city, and AIurchison q Co., Of
New York. These gentlemen enjoy {
consideration there, which their character
as citizens, and their enterprise and
integrity rs business men, had established
here. Tie Bank is already a prosperous
and popular institution, as it-could no
otherwise be under the Presidency of Mr.
NJ. Weddell, and the management Of Major
Cumming.
Captain Nash is also well established
and doing very large business. He finds
1t already necessary to increase his
facilities, and will very soon occupy the
magnificent store Of Judge Howard, Just
completed.
There is no better evidence Of the pros
perity Of Tarboro' than is furnished by The
support Of two such really good papers a:
the SOuthcyac, and Enprirtr, the former
published and edited by Captain William
Biggs, and the latter published by Mes5rs
Stamps q Charles, and edited by MI
Stamps. A county no more popul0us than
EdgecOmbe, which gives life to two large
ably edited and enterpri5ing newspapers
must certainly be inhabited Ivy thrifty
and intelligent people. We alc glad to see
that our business men are seeking to renew
an alliance with them which circumstances
have severed during the past few years.
The very large circulation which Tie
JOURNAL maintains in EdgecOmba is no
only gratifying to us personally, on account
Of old association, but exhibits an appIe
citation of which we are proud.
During our stay we had the pleasure O
enjoying the agreeable Inequalities O
Governor CLARK, Judge Howard, Mr.
Weddell and Captain j. w. Gotten, tc
whom our thanks are due.

Today, at the Federal Capital, one hun
dred freeman, citizens Of Louisiana, with
the eminent .jurist and Christian gentle
man, Judge Campbell, at their head, are
kneeling at our Republican throne, hlmbly
supplicating our Rcpub'iccn Monarch to
hear their appeals for justice, for good gov
eminent, for protection for their homes and
tiresides-appealsm made in the face Of the
decision Of our Republican Emperor, who
has already, with Federal bayOnets, in
stalled all usuiping negro in the Guberna-
tOrial chair, with no claim to the position
whatever, and no merits except that be-
slowed by blind and bitter partisanship.
We publish elsewhere the protest Of the
Attorney General of Louisiana against the
gross outrage committed 10y the President,
and we ask for it an attentive perusal
This Louisiana imbroglio is not only
interesting, but presents one of the most
dangerous usurpations on the Part of the
Federal Government yet undertaken If
Pinchback is sustained and his government
forced upon the people OF Louisiana, then
hereafter Grant or his successor, if there is
ever to be another Presidential successor,
sOnly to name IA State Governor and sustain
him with the military arm OF the Govern
ment, and the work is accomplished: the
State is reconstructed and placed in "acc0rd
with the National Government"
This trouble has grown out of the recent
election. Yarmouth, the present Governor,
who 0xDpctad To Iva clactoJ I-,it,1 <t.t,z
Senator, and Kellogg, the Radical candi-
date for Governor, are the leaders Of the
two factions. The laws of the State.
adopted by these Radicals for tie purpose
Of giving them complete power over the
returns, enabled Yarmouth to control the
election returns in his own interest. This
power he exercised, rightfully or wrong
fully, We do not know, but with great sat
isfaction to himself. lie declared the
official result, and his party friends licked
the platter clean.
The Custom House party, relying on
Federal support, here stepped in and filed
bill in the United States Circuit Court
against all the Warmouthites and their acts.
Judge Duren came upon the scene, and
granted bill of injunction against War
mouth, restraining him and his board from
making any count of the votes, and en-
joining all persons against attempting to
enter upon any office by virtue of the So
called pretended canvass.
Judge Durell at once made himself the
violent partisan Of Kellogg and Pinchbaclz.
He gave way to the most violent feelings,
and even vehemently argued the case with
Warmouth's counsel, and it is pretty we'll
settled that at the trial he was very drunk.
Of course Yarmouth and his officers were
restrained, and bogus Legislature in
stalled.
The most shameless and revolutionary
proceedings have followed. The bogus
Legislature has declared the result of the
vote and installed the officers, though the
sworn returns are in the hands of War.

that never before has any Piano
been subjected to such severe
tests.
The Scale is radically different
from any other, and is so ingcni-
Gus in its construction, and pro-
duces such wonderful power and
purity of tone, that it has attrac-
ted the attention and admiration
of connoisseurs and critics to such
degree that Dealers in other
Pianos have been obliged in self
defence to resort to many and
very severe animadversions con-
corning its qualities and claims;
nevertheless after seven years of
thorough trial, it has more than
indicated the highest hopes of
its friends and stands to-day be-
yond criticism and without a
rival.
