Yesterday morning our special re
porter took the ears at the Caroln,
Central Railway, in company Will
| quite Il number of gentlemen from the
city, Tor the purpose of attending tht
! discussion to take place in NorthweSt
| Township, between the Hon. A. NJ
| NaddeIl, the Democratic Conservative
| whlto mans candiiate for Congress
| and Ncill Mckay, ''the no parlor ana
no kitchen candidate Of the Republi
can negro party of this district. After
| hours very pleasant ride, under the
care Of that aftablc gent eman and
prince Of Conductors. Capt. L. N.
| Wooten, we were safely landed at the
! i}ulc place, near Livingston Greek,
! where "c had learned that the discus
sion was to take place, but upon en-
GulEy found that we were misinforInct
and that we would have to walk over
! 10 the late residence Of Mr.. Morrill,. on
tie w, c. 4 4. Railroad, 10 hear the
competitors for Congressional Iunors
Tie distance being only about one
mile, was soon overcome. When we
reached the railroad, III looking up the
track in the direction Of Brinkley VIC
discovered a multitude co ming towards
rs. and when near enough to tiistiD-
gUlsh one Individual from another
We saw that they were headed by the
int;oinitahlc Waddell. In few mo-
ments we joined :hem and marched to
the residence above named, Oateiy
purchased by His Honor ex-Judge
Cantwcil, and as we have never learn
ed that "he knew anything about
farming" we presume it is the sccl1d-
ed spot lie has chosen to spend the
remainder OF his days after having
been placed Iofs dH cOn3G0t by the
white-inan's party on the 9Th of An
gust ncXt.)
About II O'Clock, the candidates and
most Of the people having arrived. Mr..
j. \. Bennett, the Democratic Con
scrvatiye candidate for the House Of
representatives, took the stand. and
III q very neat little speech, announced
himself. He stated that as he had no
opponent on the ground it was needless
for him to detain them at any length.
His speech, though short, was to the
point and well received.
DE- ". G. Curtis, the DGmOcratic-
Conservative candidate for Clerk O.
Superior Court Of Brunswick county.
next tool, ille stand, and in few brief
remarks announced himself as in the
field, aud hoped that his former course
would be taken as n criterian of the
discharge OF his duties in the fut IRE if
elected.
NIr. Rufus Galloway, the cardidlte
for Sheriff, was then called up and SIM
ply stated that he was again candi
date ; that everybody knew him and
the collrse he had pursued, and knew
at oil times where to find him, right
side up in the Democratic ranks. Our
friend Galloway, like the balance of
the county officers, did not know who
his competitor would be and simply
asked the support of the Democratic
Conservative party of the county,
which he will receive and triumphant
election with it.
Mr.. John Guthrie next announced
himself as the candidate of the party
for Register of Deeds in chaste and
pointed little speech.
Mr.. Wesley Hodge announced
himself as candidate for County
Commissioner, he being the only one
present.
The county candidates having got
ten through Neill Mckay, the candi-
date of the Radical negro party, took
the stand, and after some little heming
and having proceeded to state that
he was glad to see such large audi
ence and such an interest manifested
in the local affairs, especially IN that
to bury Walden on the 9th of August
ard would need one, I've presume he
meant in the affection Of the people OF
the Third Congressional Distrsct.) He
said he was the Republican candidate
for CONGRESS and wanted all the votes
he could pet (no doubt lie Will need
them). He stated that all this hue
and-cry about Civil Rights was hum
BUG. and that tie negro now had all
The rights to which lie was entitled
and ali that would do him any good.
That lie never had met q negro who
desired any more rights than he now
c1,iovcG. That he was opposed 10
mixed schools and decidedly IL favor
Of scparata schools. That he saw 10
use of tie color line being drawn that
il didnat make arcgro his equal, socially
hy allowing linn 10 vote the same as lie
did. to ride Ill the same car, or 70 SIT
ut HE same table with linn. He Went
on tc show that a negro could not en-
ter 2 house where he was not wanted,
ana cited rs an instance, that
the rain could enter man
lor+c. but that King cCU.d rot
without his consent. That no govern
maalt could pass 2 law governing
eunaI!ty of The races. That 10 G,Ge't,
NEGRO wo,lld force himself III a hotcI
or other place where lie Was not want
cI. That the negro has now all the
rights to which he Is entitled.
! Just here a note was handcc
| the speaker, which lie stated was
from His Honor, Judge RnsScll
requesting himto state to the crows
that lie had been grossly rllsrepreScnf
ed to them on the Civil flights QueS
ton. That he was opposed to tho
bill, and was also opposed to mlxet
schools. Had Daniel been pitched III
