The Republicans. especially in the
States of New York and Pennsylvania,
are manifestly much alarmed about the
result of the coming elections. One
of the best evidences that they feel
the need Of every vote is found in the
fact that the officers of all the Rspub-
lican associations in Washington have
been urged with unusual vehemence
to see that every elector shall go home
to cast his ballot.
An old man, named Luther Bryant,
dealer in old coins. etc., was recently
arrested in New York, on q frivolous
charge, and while in confinement, his
house was robbed Of about Sl2G. 600,
principally in gold coin-Ihich he
kept secreted there.
The Duke OF Northumberland writes
to the editors of the Newcastle Journal
to contradict the rumor that he has
been received in the Roman Catholic
Church. The Duke characterizes the
report as O false and baseless calumny.
The debt of the city of New York on
the 1st of September last, is stated at
Sl26. sos, 189. being an increase within
the last three years of $50. .58l ,307.
This is the cost of greatness.

A CITY WITHOUT LIGHT. Dublin.
the capital Of Ireland. has just sus-
tanned heavy loss in the total de-
struction OF the city gas works, leav-
ing the city in total darkness at night.
The intense heat and noxious vapor
from the burning and escaping gas
prevented the firemen from doing any
thing to save the works. Dublin is q
large and splendid city. in fact one Of
the finest in the British Empire, and
such loss as this will be severely felt,
because o tho time that must elapse
b2fore it can be repaired. aud the
danger to life and property in the
meantime.

MISS LAURA ALEXANDER

In re-publishing our article in de-
NAL to the slander in regard to the
death of Miss Laura Alexander, the
Charlotte Southern Home says:
While in the act of penning denial
OF the base calumny put in circulation
by Georgia female sensationalist, of
public notoriety, we received the Will
mlngton JOURNAL containing the above
pertinent remarks. We are in posses
sion of information to sustain every
word our contemporary has said on this
monstrous SANDER. The testimo Nv
OF those who were constantly associat-
ed with her in her public career, and
letter from Boucicault, for whom she
exerted the last effort of her feeble
frame, unite to extol the virtue, the
amiabiity, the beauty and umblemish-
ed character of this noble heart
ed girl. The charge of habitual intox
ication is thing to be hooted at. To
friend of the writer, Miss Laura.
only fey months before her death.
refused to touch even aoi,ae when
urged to alleviate her physical suffer-
ings in that manner.
The cause of her sudden death ia 8
matter of proof. A celebrated physi-
clan had warned her of the danger she
was incurring by her unwearied exer-
ton on the stage /; but her great zeal
and ambition, kept her at work till at
Wilmington journal., 1874-07-03

the very moment of success, eoice and
strength failed her. Then her spirits
broke, and death claimed her for his
own. A nobler soul does not survive
her. And perhaps an apology is due
her memory for dignifying with a de-
NAL so vile a slander emanating from
so low source.
We were much gratified also to see
that the Raleigh Crescent, in which
the slaDder had been Inadvertently
published, expressed in the strongest
terms not only its regret that the arti-
Gle had appeared in its columns, but
it's entire disbelief in it. Wethinkiit as
little as those papers can do, that gave
circulation to so gross and wanton
faIselood, is now to publish the truth.

Beecher has made reply either to
you or to me, am at last forced to
the disagreeabIe necessity of borrow
ing reply in his own words, as fol-
lows:
BEEcHER's Confession.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 1, 1871.
I ask Theodore Tilton's forgiveness,
and humble myself before him as I do
before my God. He would have been
better man in my circumstances than
[ have been. [ can ask nothing except
that he will remember all the other
breasts that would ache. 1 will not
plead for myself. even wish that I
were dead. H. W. BEEcHER.
The above brief extract from Mr..
Beecher's own testimony will be suffi-
cient, without adducing the remainder
of the document, to show that have
just ground to resist the imputation
that 1 am the creature of his magma
nimity.
The New York Times, in publishing
the correspondence, says Mr..
Beecher's own admissions, as quoted
by Mr.. Tilton, are certainly very
strong, and will, perhaps, startle many
who hold that the lives of ministers of
religion should correspond in some de-
gree with their preaching. The solemn
warning, BE sure your sin will find
you it, is not limited in its application
to the hearers of the Word, but ap-
plies to the preachers thereof also.
Mr.. Tilton declares that he would not
have published line on this uuplea-
SAINT subject but for the persistent at
tacks which have been levelled at him
| by the friends of Mr.. Beecber, and
there seems no reason to doubt his
! word"

New YORK, June %.
T. B. Carpenter, the artist mention

who had said that money could be OBJ
tanned to send Tilton and his family to
| Europe, if they were willing to go,
has been interviewed and says: "a
| few days after the adjournment of the
council, had occasion to call upon
Beecher, at his house, in connection
with matter wholly disconnected
with that scandal. In the course of
some friendly conversation, [ men
toned the fact to Beecher that Tilton
had just finished his book on which he
bad been engaged for a year, and add

had depressed him considerably, and
that /, in common with several of his
friends, wished he could go to Europe.
Beecher said he thought it would be
an excellent thing for him to do. In
reply to this l said that recent bust
ness embarrassments stood in the way
To which Beecher answered, that il
Tilton desired to go means would be
provided. did not understand, from
anything said by Mr.. Beecher, that he
made this proposition in order to Sc
cure MIR. Tilton's silence in regard to
the scandal. The matter only come
up incidently, and he could hardly
have expected that 1 would bring il
up. / told Tilton what Beecher haC
said, and it enraged him greatly

that learned he had written to Mr.
Beecher about the thing"

POINT CAswELL, N. c..
June 26th, 1874.


Editors Journal:
In and through the columns of your
paper. the township of Caswe1 wishes
to communicate with other townships
of the county in regard to matter
which she considers has been for the
last eight or nine years material
drawback to the interest of the Demo
cratic party, especially as regards
county nominations. Now sir, if we
have a party, and that party has prin-
ciples, it is by those principles we
must stand or fall. Have we in the
above named years, asserted our rights
and principles in this county as far as
regards county nominations ? We do
not recollect it at this time.
We have stood watching the disrup-
tions of the Republican party, and
thrown our strength by actually voting
or not, with the Republican party, and
| what have we gained by? This
| township has always been of the
| opinion that we should always have
run straight Democratic ticket, beat
| or no beat, in order to keep our land
| marks fresh and well known. But
when you propose to an individual to
run or be candidate, what is the
| reply? 1t is this: That he does not
wish to contend against the odds; OF
| in other words, does not wish to be
slaughtered. We would not give 6
pin-feather for Il man who is always
willing to fight when he knows he car
whip. And one word of inquiry from
| Casvell Township, which is simply
this: Whence, and from what source
did our Executive Committee obtain
this one man power. that is to say
that the Chairman of this Committee
is to say what what man out OF eaci
township shall represent the people o
said township? We care not from
what source it comes, or by wha
power, it is not Democratic, and it i:
taking the power out OF the hands
of the people. Now sir, IL
years gone by, it was thu
custom of the Democratic party tha
each precinct, or what is now styled
township, sshould assemble together
| in mass and select from the mass whl
should represent them, and send then
to Convention either trameled or un
trameled, as the case might be. Cas-
well makes this proposition to her sis
ter townships and wards of the city
that we select some suitable point fol
holding Convention OF the people O.
New Hanover county and therefrOn
select a straight forward Democratic
ticket and put them through to The
best of our strength and ability. Cas-
we'll suggests Rocky Point, LillinStor
or Point Caswell, as a suitable place tt
hold said Convention.

From New Orleans Picayune
PLANTING AFTER THE FLOOD
A Few Post-DiIuvIan DifricuIties.

A correspondent in Iberville recounts
some of the trials and ddiscouragements
which have attended the replanting of
overfowed fields in his section. They
appear to be as great as in the case of
Plaquemines parish, and, except to
people incapable of despair, utterly in
surmountable.
Truly, our State has been sorely
afflicted. Whether we are to recover
is not yet clear
BAYOU JACOB, Iberville Parish, La, !
June %, 1874.
To the Editor of the Picaytuae:
There are so many all over our COM
mon country that take so deep interest
in our welfare, and are supplying US
with the necessaries of life, that it is
but just that they, those who have been
SO liberal toward US, and are yet con-
tinuing to feed us, should know exactly
the situation of the people in this vast
overfowed district. I see by some of
the papers that it is said that we have
planted our lands, and may expect to
reap in the course of time. The lands
in this neighborhood were the first and
last to beuncovered by the waters, and
at the first sign of dry land planting
commenced with fine prospects. Some
ten days since the rains commenced,
and it rains not only every day but
several times day. Every man and
boy that could draw a furrow or put a
grain of corn in the ground, white and
black, owners of plantations and their
laborers, all with common consent
went to planting.
But what can be done against SO
! many difficulties that beset us.on every
side? Let me enumerate some OF
these backsets, and tell me was ever a
people so tried. The rains won't per-
NIT us to plow we take off our shoes,
and with stick in hand, follow the re-
ceding waters; the coons follow us at
night and dig up about one half OF
what we have put in the ground; the
worms follow the coons, and we again
follow the worms, and so on. What
escapes both these pests is choked by
grass and drowned by water (rain).
We are obliged to thin out and hoe il
the mud. The men are wet to the
skin about one-half of the time. TC
plant potatoes is almost impossible
likewise. If we are fortunate enough
to be able to break up the land, be-
fore We can ridge or hill, heavy rair
spoils all the work.
The people labor under SO many
difficulties that the wonder to me is
that they do not give it up; but, to
their credit be it said, they fight
against all these difficulties with un
ceasing courage. The lands have
been made SO fertile that every grass
grows as if a vast bed of guano had
been sown over it. To add to oul
misfortunes, that dreaded disease, th,
charbon, is killing eff hundreds o
animals III the back country. The
rains have had the effect Of starting
the grasses, SO much needed by ou
poor animals, which were aimos
starved to death. Indeed, indeed
hard to bear are our trials, bnt Ii,
who feeds the birds OF the air will ex
| tricate us. NJ SCHLATRE.
