CoURT.-The regular Summer Term of
our Superior Court has been in session du-
ring the week, Judge Moore presiding
The proceedings have been of but little in
terest to any save the parties litigant, be-
ing chronic canal suits, the pests of the
country, and petty civil actions that have
been vexing clients, worrying attorneys
and annoying the Court for a period Of
time whereof the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary, hyperbolicalIy speak,
ing.
Few lawyers have been in attendance
except those of our resident Bar and tha1
of Rocky Mount. We notice only Georgt
W. Blount, Esq, of Wilson, Spear Whita
ker, ESQ.,, of Enfield, and A. Justice, ESQ.,.
of Newbern. We presume Court viii
continue for several days next week.

RADIoALIsM AND DECENoY.-We hear
that the Regular RAIDS, and especially
Alexander (the little, make the defamation
of Mr.. John Norfeet and the Enquirer
Southerner the burden of their harangues.
Now this is just in accordance with the
nature of things. Mr.. Norfeet was toe
decent for pure radicalism and it threw
him overheard and vents its hatred against
him, and as we are the organ of the party
of decency, of course filth would be thrown
at us. But isn'tait funny, to think thai
any little yankee would be SO stupid as tc
suppose his TRADES to negro audience
could effect gentleman

AN OFFER.-We hear that McCabe and
Cobb say they are put to disadvantage on
the Civil Rights matter because we will
not allow the people to hear them through
our paper. 1t is rather unusual but We
make the following offer. If Messrs.
Cobb and McCabe think We have misrepre-
sented them in the matter of Civil Rights
we will give them an opportunity through
these columns to correct the mistake, pro-
vided, however, that the communication
touches no other point and is not objection.

AN OUTRAGE.-Mr. Louis Pender has
given US the particulars of an outrage per-
petrated upon his brother, who is weak
minded but perfectly harmless person. 1t
seems that he was allured out in The woods
not far from his home and entirely stripped
of every article of clothing and left in that
condition. There is evidences too that he
was whipped upon his naked body by the
persons who committed the outrage. The
vile perpetrators should be ferreted out and
severely punished.

CHURCH Charles Bloomer,
formerly of this place, now residing at
Rocky Mount, has been arrested and heard
before Justice on the charge of burning
the Baptist church at the Falls. There
was considerable array of sundry evi-
dence, in quality various, brought against
the accused and he was recognized in a
bond of $500 to appear at the next term of
Nash Superior Court. One David Wells,
colored, has also been arrested for the same
offence. Whoever is guilty ought to suf-
fer the full penalty of the law.

MEETING. 'Publicans and sinners
held q meeting in the Court House on
Wednesday night We were not present
but hear that the negro Bum, the special
pet of McCabe and Cobb, entertained his
audience with vile and vulgar abuse of GER
tain white people Remember, fellow
white men, these speeches must be sane
toned by the so-cslled white leaders of the
Radical party or they would not be made,
and when you in any way endorse them
you are in effect, approving their low vitu-
perations and general outrageous conduct
against your own people. Can you do it
and be clear?

The following special dispatch shows that the

ninety OF the best citizens in Shreveport have been
arrested upon atfidavits made by one of Williamss
