Tothis complexities have We come at

and | must follow--bot tie fact II
there Il the biggest sort OF split down
here IN the radical ranks. The cursed
lust for .fiice Is the cause Of It all, aud as
there are mot mare than enough offices
for about one half of the party lii this
county, and as the chicken raisers in this
section have been SO effsctually disap-
pointed that they can no longer as a GER

quentlys a .prHortIenate Increase in the

The great party here, a. in Raleigh
seems TO he hnpelcssly divided. The split
IN this pertyis very peculiar one; OH
onc side being very few Of the Rcpubli-
can whites. apdihe more ignorant 81 the
masses, aud on the other, nearly all the
whites and about all the Intelligent col
orcd people This state of affairs was
brought: about last Saturday by tile nomi-
nation rs. II. Manning white for sher-
IN. aud james Heston. swhitej for Clerk
Or the superior Court, with sad mixture
lofdir,y hlsck. and still diriirr whites to
make up The balance Of the ticket.
The s-ceders claim that this ticket was
made Up Il Rocky Point on the night
I previous 70 the election: that Il was
brought about by bribery and CORRUPTION,
and that such things are contrary TO the
usages Of the Republican party Any
one who has ever attended i Radical ,ionl-
mating convention can thoroughly APP
prcciate this last resson. Il Is impo-sibIe
10 test. AS yet, what the result win be. but
l ! am inclined %. think that the Uolters
will carry the day.
We are 10 have two grand excursions
fiom the interior 10 our city next week.
One ofihese on the 18th Is the Merchants
and Bankers excursion frum Charlotte,
and the other on tie 18th isto came

aud persons VIII attend the latter. The
Merchants aud Bankers are TO be enter

orally, who arc TO treat them 90 an excur-
