RALEIGH, n. u, Feb. ~. 1874.
My DEAR JoURNAL:-The Legisla-
ture did, indeed, adjourn according to
promise ON Monday, but the fact has
brought but little rest to your CORES
pondent. Nor is that any wonder, for
are not the Grangers here in full force?
Verify, they are, and il the whole body
is to be judged by the few whom I
happen to know personally the State
Grange now in session has never been
surpassed, if it has been equalled in
the character of it's members, by any
body OF men, no matter whether politi-
cal or religious, that ever assembledln
North Carolina. Other gentlemen have
made the same comment. [ have
never seen SO large body of men col
lected from all parts of the State in
which 1 had so few acquaintances. No
one seems to know many Changers,
bvt those that one does know are the
very best of citizens. For once the
real farmers of the State have come
together and for one have no doubt
that their coming together will result
in good. They attend strictly to bust
ness, being in session morning, noon
and night. What would have become
of US all if the Oranges had taken pos
session before the Legislature left it
is difficult to say. Even in their ab-
sence, and with the new additions to
the Marlborough House occupied. there
is no spare room.
Of course "Grauge talk" is the chief
topic of conversation, unless here and
there one may find a friend or two
discussing the prospects of the revival
of the University. Governor Caldwell
has made another Of those petty exhi-
hitions of petty spite and malignity
that are at once exceedingly unbecom-
ing in the officer and characteristic OF
the man. The new Board of Trustees
oourteously invited Governor Caldwell
in accordance with the old law and
custom, to preside over its delibera-
lions. His reply was that the new
Board had no legal existence and that
he refused to take any part in its de-
liberations. The Board tookno further
notice of the Governors letter than to
proceed to appoint Governor Graham
as it's President. It is said that Gov
ernor Caldwell proposed that he would
commission all the new Trustees II
they would acknowledge their election
by the Legislature to be invalid. 1t il
but fair to say that Governor Cald
wells own party friends do not sustain
him in the course he has pursued.
am informed that the Attorney Genera
expresses himself as very decidedly o.
opinion that Governor Caldwell ii
wrong.
1t is as yet impossible to say wha
if any thing can be done for the Uni
versity. The next meeting of tn
Trustees will take place on the 9th o
April. Meanwhile, steps will be take'
by committees appointed for the pur
pose, to ascertain what property tn

Mr.. George A. Gustin, formerly a
citizen of Augusta. and now residing
in Washington city, is one of the CO.
inventors of type writing machine,
which, if successful, will prove one of
the greatest and most useful inven-
tions of the age. The type writer is
about the size of an ordinary sewing
machine, and is worked with keys
similar to piano keys. 1t is claimed
that an expert can write with it read
lily sixty words a minute, and that it
can write fully 100 words minute.

The ladies have been out on the va

The saloons are too far away to be ef-

asking terms, and the ladies do not in

COLUMBUS FAIRLY INVESTED.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. II, 1874.
About 300 persons, mostly ladies'.
met in the City Hall this morning to
organize for temperance war. Mrs.
L. V. Dessellern was chosen President
and Mrs. Tremaine Secretary. Anex-
ecutlve committee, consisting of one
lady from each church was chosen. A
proposition to appoint ON this commit
tee representatives of temperance or
CARNATIONS was disagreed to, it being
stated that DR.. Lewis opposed such a
course. and that he was fully satisfied
this was work for the churches rath-
er than for secret organizations. It
was proposed to hold a prayer meeting
each morning, but to make no active
demonstrations until mex Tuesday.
when Lewis will return here, a. he
says, to take command of the forces
and remain till the capita city is re-
generated.

Deputy Sheriff Morris, with a guard
of four men, leaves here this morning
for Raleigh, in charge of the prisoners
sentenced at the present term of the
Superior Court to confinement in the
Penitentiary. They are as follows:
F. NJ. Brunson, larceny 5 years.
Charles Zimmerman, larceny. years.
George Hill, larceny, 10 years.
David Howard, larceny, years.
Dennis Jones, larceny, . years.
James w. Henry, larceny, 5 years.
Amos Gregory and Mahala Gregory,
manslaughter, 10 years each.
There are several well-know des-
peradoes in the above list and hence
the nece ssity for a guard.
Highway Robbery.
The most daring of the many
daring robberies that have dis
turbed our citizens of late, was en-
acted last night, on one of the
most public streets in the city and
very near the City Hall. About II
O'Clock, as Mr.. J. w. Casey was pro-
ceeding along Chestnut street, be-
tween Third and Fourth, he was ap-
preached by three men, one of whom
was white. while the others were col
ored. The white man drew a pistol
and held it to his face. telling him
that he would blow his brains out if
he moved, while the two colored men
| searched his pockets. They found
nothing but a plug OF tobacco, which
they took, and then proceeded up
Chestnut street, after again threaten
ing Mr.. Casey with the pistol. The
| latter then hurriel to the guard house
| l. l.. ,nk xV-l,
Capt. Brown and Sergeant Kuhl, OF
the night police, started out in pur-
suit of the rascals. Mr.. Casey says
that he has seen the white man before
and will recognise him if he ever sees
men on Princess street, just previous
to the assault on Mr.. Casey, and he
thinks that he can find the men.

SO far, to discover either the thief o.

JEFFRRsoNvILLE, Feb. T, 1S74.
The Ladies' Temperance Union
made a flank movement on the non
union element this morning by quietly
assembling at the Presbyterian church
at twelve o'clock to the number of
seventy, where all reporters and per-
sons not members of the Union were
excluded. After their secret prelimi
nary arrangements were effected they
moved to Johnson's saloon in the
eastern part of the city, who met them
kindly, but positively declined to
sign the pledge. Several hymns
were sung, and prayers were then
offered up that bedimmed many
eyes. From this point they moved in
to Leonard Carrs saloon, in Chestnut

A Murderer SO Years Old.

A miser of so years named Wattiaux, a
wealthy land owner, has been convicted in
England of the manslaughter of his own
son. The indictment charged murder
The prisoner, from avarice, gave no prop
erty either to his son or daughter when
they were married. The son separated
from his wife, and, reduced by drunken
ness to a state approaching imbecility,
came back to his fathers house, demand
ing food and shelter. He was allowed to
sleep in an clubhouse upon some hay, with
sacks for blankets. One evening when the
son came to the house to ask for some
thing to eat, the father told him to go
away altogether. An alteration ensued,
and the old man, whose defence is that he
was threatened with a knife, drew his pistol
and shot the son dead One of the ques-
tons put by the presiding judge, with a
view of showing premeditation, was wheth-
er he had not endeavored to close the
wound, SO as to hide it from observation.
The answer, going beyond anything Moliere
imagined to put into the mouth of the
miser Harpagon, was "Oh, only did
that to prevent the blood from spelling his
shirt" The octogenarian assassin was
sentenced to four years imprisonment.

Lord Mnroh nnd his MnoMdr.,

The second Duke of Richmond, one of
the Lords of the Bedchamber to George II,
was married, while yet boy, to Lady
Cadogan, daughter of the Lord Cadogan
who, as cavalry officer, distinguished
himself so much in the Duke of Marl-
borough's wars. This marriage was made
to cancel gambling debt, the young
peoples consent having been the last thing
thought of. Lord March was sent for
from school, and the young lady from her
her nursery clergyman was in attend
ance, and they were told that they were
Immediately to be man and wife The
young lady is not reported to have uttered
word, the young gentleman exclaimed,
"They are surely not going to marry me
to that dowdy ~ The ceremony, how
ever, took place Il post-chaise was ready
at the door, and Lord March was imme-
diately packed off with his tutor to make
the "grand tour" while his young wife
was returning to the care of her mother,
Dutch woman, daughter of William Mum
ter, counsellor of the courts of Holland.

March returned, well educated, handsome
young man, but with no very agreeable
recollections of his wife. Wherefore, in
stead of at once seeking his own home, he
went directly to the opera or theatre,
where he amused himself between the acts
in examining the company. He had not
been long occupied in this manner when a
very young and beautiful woman more es-
pecially struck his fancy, and, turning to a
gentleman beside him, he asked who the
lady was.
"You must be a stranger in London, "
replied the gentleman, "not to know the
toast of the town, the beautiful Lady
March p
Agreeably surprised at this intelligence,
Lord March proceeded to the box, announ-
ced himself and claimed his bride, the very
dowdy whom he had so scornfully rejected
some years before but afterwards lived SC
happily with that she died of broken
heart within the year of his decease, which
took place at Godalming in Survey, in
August 1850.

For the ploomneld Times.
Remembrances.


Seated in a School House, some time
ago, and glancing up at the wall, our eyes
fell upon these words written in chalk
Remember me, when this you see.-REU-
BEN" When the subscriber to that wrote
it, he was mere boy. But where is he
now? His home is in the far-off Territory
of Colorado. Little did he think when he
wrote those words, that hundreds of the
rising generation, as they entered that
School House would read those words, and
not know the writer of them; that he would
so soon afterwards take up his abode in
distant land. They stand there as re-
membrance of him, by those who were his
school-mates in former years. What scenes
they recall as we read them What joyful,
as we'll as sad incidents they bring to our
remembrance The "Reuben" above has
three brothers and one sister living in that
western Territory. His father and mother
live in Kansas, while two sisters and one
brother live in this State, and one ten
miles from here. What separation in
one family !. Many of these we have not
seen for years. and never expect to see
them altogether at one time again. We
were a school-mate of "Reuben" and his
brothers many years. We saw him writing
the above on the WALL little thinking that
in after years, as we looked upon it to
think of him, as one in far-off land, sepa-
rated by high mountains, deep valleys, wide
plains and broad rivers. There Mr.. Edi-
tor, are remembrances of long ago." it
seems these memories are waited to us on
the passing breezes, bringing with it some
happy, as well as some sad scenes of the
past.
