The Radical State Convention NOmi-
mates C. C. Washburne for Gov
ernOr By AcclamatiOn.

MADISON, Wis, August 27.-The
day and nominated G.. G.. Washburn for
governor by acelamatiOn, r. III. Baker
for lieutenant-governOr, Z. W. Young
for secretary of state, and Alex. G..
johnson for state treasurer. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
The committee on resolutions respect
fully beg leave to submit the following
report and preamble:
In view Of the fact that the Republi-
can party has so met the vital is
sues of the past twelve years as
to secure the support of the vast
majority of the patriotic and in
telligent people of the nation it has won
itself the title of being the true reform
party of the country and recognising
the Importance Of all questions raised
and attention to the relation of labor
and capital, and commerce, production
and supply transportation and eX-
change, cooperative franchises and
monOpolies, and to all other subjects
embraced in our political economy,
we pledge ourselves as such to adopt
and carry into execution and effect
all judicious measures of progress
relating to these and all other kindred
subjects, and as a party, we can give as
surance, from our political ascendancy,
both in national and State governments,
of a more speedy and effeetual remedy
of the existing evils than would be pos
sible through any existing opposing par
ty, or party yet to be formed.
ResolUed, That we disapprove and
condemn the recent measure by which
congress allowed additional eOmpensa-
ton to itself for past service, and de-
mand that the provisions of the act by
which congressional salaries were in
creased shall be promptly and uncon-
ditionally repealed.
RESOLVED, That it is contrary to the
theory of a represe sentative government
that any representative body should
make laws exclusively for their own
benefit, and we, therefore, favor an
amendment to our national constitution
which shall forever prohibit any con-
gress from increasing its own compensa-
ton.
Resolved, That the subject of cheap
and reasonable rates of transportation
has become of pressing importance to
the great body of our people, east and
west, and to the producers and eonsum-
ers, and that it is necessary that some
proper legislative measures should be
speedily adopted to secure relief and pro-
lection against the greed and oppression
Of grasping mOnopolies. We urgently
recommend what has already been
urged in two annual messages OF the
present executive: The creation of q
board of railroad control, whose duty il
shall be to examine the whole subject OF
transportation and freights, and report
facts in relation thereto, and prescribe
and adjust such regulations as will bt
fair and equitable both to the people anc
the railway companies,

McRea. still holding firmly to his OBJ
iections.

of R. T. Wilson, was then called upon,
and in a clear, forcible and able argu-
ment in defense of the security compa-
ny, which made a very favorable i'm
preston on his hearers, and so much
pleased was MIR. Jackson, of Memphis,
that he withdrew his objections to the
bonds being issued, and agreed that he
would vote his stock for the new bonds.
Col. W. W.. Garth then offered the
following resolutions:
ResOlUed, That we instruct the presi-
dent and board of directors of the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad company
to execute the consolidated bonds and
mortgage to secure same, according to
the terms of the lease, and that it is our
desire that they should deal with the
security company in spirit Of justice
duu tOuhucuCC.
The resolution was discussed at some
length, and finally unanimously adopt
ed.
Mr.. Howell Jackson, of Memphis,
then offered the following compliment
ary resolutions:

the Memphis and Charleston railroad
tender their thanks to Mr.. r. T. Will
son, of the firm of r. T. Wilson & Co.,

holders of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad entertain different spirit.
After the discussion of few minor
questions, the meeting adjourned to

BARTLETT.
A Negro Man Named Hiram Indulges in
the Loving Work Of ChOpping
his Old Woman.
4 Negro Swain. Jealous Of a White
SehOOl-Teaeher, Attempts to
Murder Him, Etc.
I'M an Occasional Correspondent.I

From an Occasional Correspondent
BARTLETT, August q, 1S73.-As
shooting, cutting and murders are very
frequent now, and the press is made
lively by their frequent occurrences, l
herewith contribute two to the list which
have occurred in this "neck of the
woods" Saturday night on the place
of Mr.. w. F. Crenshaw, six miles east
of Bartlett, a negro man named Hiram,
made an attempt on the life of his wife
with u hatchet and came very near
sending her tOher grave. He chopped
her on the head and arms and pulled
her to the ground, and when found was
bleeding profpsely. Medical aid stopped
the flow of claret and it is said the old
woman may recover. Old Hiram had
become Jealous of his sold 'omann and
chose the hatchet to despatch her. Mr.
Crenshaw and John 7. Ellis arrested
Hiram, and during the night their
prisoner escaped, not, however, without
drawing two shots from a gun, one of
which peppered him nicely.
Yesterday evening, about three
o'clock, negro boy about, twenty years
old, named Bob Green, went to the
colored school-house, one mile north of
Bartlett, and made an attempt on
the life of Mack Cowan, a white man,
teacher of the negro school. COwan
was cut in the side and on the arms,
and his wounds are severe and may
prove fatal. DR.. Cochran attended him,
and saws his wounds are dangerous.
Green had become jealous of Cowan,
and, he being a turbulent, noisy negro
boy, had been reproved by Cowan once
or twice, which aggravated him so that
he was prompted to make the attack on
his life. The colored people are on the
alert to catch him and, should they do
so, he will be punished.
The railroad company is building q
large waIer-tank at this place, which
will be a very conspicuous ornament to
our village. 1t will be of such proper
tions that, by applying one hundred feet
of hose, the depot and stores can be
played upon with water in case of fire.
The colOred people in this section are
having picnics, barbecues, and frolics
daily. Cotton is beginning to. open on
the hills, and the fodder season is nearly
over. Gathering hay is attracting the
attention of those who did not work
their crops well.
During q protracted meeting at this
place one night last week, two horses
were stolen, which were hitched neal
the church, the property of Mr.. Samuel
Snowden and William Barnes, respec-
lively. l learn that the horses have
been recovered by the police of youi
city.
DIR. T. H. Williams, of our town, has
recently opened an Office in Raleigh
where he viii in future devote his time
TO the practice of his profession.
