THE ALECK CRAIG LETTER.

We are informed that the letter which
appeared in the Recorder two weeks ago,
signed BY Aleck Craig and announcing
himself as a candidate for the Convention.
is denounced BY certain Radicals as De-
mocratic trick. and there is some mention
made Of calling the Recorder to account for
it. Let them call. In the Recorder Office.
will be found the original letter, received
BY mail from Chapel Hill. We do not
know AleSk Craig. But he is 30 myth
He is known to many. Whether he wrote
the letter or not is another question. Ii
has all the marks Of authenticity. 1t was
inserted as IN advertisement accompanied
with request to forward bill
We are not surprised at the CONSERVATION
the letter created in the ranks. Aleck
''spOke right out in meetings lie did not
wait this time for the white leaders to tell
him what 70 DO. lie was tired Of waiting.
He had been fooled long enough, and be
let out very plaisly the genuine sentiment,
and expectations Of bis race before the pru.
dent caution Of his white eo-adjutors could
suppress them.
We thank Messrs Page and Craig for
their esndOr. The white people will know
exactly where they stand.

AMEs or MISSISSIPPI

Since the people Of Arkansas got
rid Of the blighting curse Of Clayton's
rule, everything is tranquilized.-
Since the State of Texas passed in
to the hands of the Democrats eve
rything is quiet. There is no State
in the Union SO. prosperous as Texas.
Such would be the condition Of Mis-
sissippi were it not for the rule of
the infamous Ames. lie said last
summer that the killing of twenty or
thirty negroes would be of service
to the Republican party. and he is
doing everything in his power to
have the requisite number of negroes
killed to subserve party purposes.
Ames, "who has not been in the
State more than few weeks during
the last six months, sends a whining
letter to the President asking for
Federal troops to preserve the peace.
The President, il he does his duty,
will administer a sharp rebuke to the
gubernatorial humbug. The lawless-
ness which has unfortunately pre-
vailed in Mississippi, is to be attri-
buted in no small degree to the CO.
vert encouragement it receives from
this man Ames, in order to make
party capital. A prominent official
of the State, and a Republican, too,
has publicly announced he is willing
to make oath that Ames expressed
the wish a dozen of negroes were
slaughtered for the party conse.
qaences it would entail. We have
little doubt that this is true, and just
as little that the Clinton slaughter
was just what Ames wanted. How
is it that Mississippi is exceptional
in this sort of thing, if it is not that
the governor is utterly worthless as
an executive if, indeed. he is not
criminally responsible for the law
less which is disgracing one State of
the Union p Memphis Appeal.

Sergeant-at-Arnls Ordway's
View of the Political
Situation.

WAsHINGToN. Sept. 16.-N. G..
Ordway, late Sergeant-at-Arms of
the House OF Representatives and
later member of the lower House of
the New Hamshire Legislature, has
arrived in this city direct from the
Granite State. lie brings sad news
from the New England States for his
Republican friends. The tide is run
ming very strong, he says, against his
party in that section of the Union,
and had it not been for the desper-
ate exertions of ex-Speaker Blaine.
and some very sharp practice on the
part Of the Republican managers,
the Democrats would have swept the
State by q handsome majority. AS
it is, Ordway says he believes the
Radical majority will be whitfield
down to about 1000. The Republi-
can party is badly demoralized in
1he East, and, in Mr.. 0rdway's opin-
ion, nothing less than miracle can
save # from an utter overthrow in
1876. lie believes also that Ohio
aud Pennsylvania will 60 Democratic

Such a Thing as Getting ON Too
Much Religion.

We find the paragraph below in one
of our exchanges, and give it to our
readers for no other reason than but to
show them that through the various
walks and instances in life, there is
much yet unobserved by us, and that
there is certainly such thing as "get-
ting on too much religion" On such
occasion, when the brother or sister may
be so deeply affected as to become IN
comfortable, it would be well to occupy
a back seat:
"a bright mulatto man named Ed.
Holt, about twenty-three years of age,
died Monday morning last from a rather
unusual cause. Some time ago he at
tended church, and, as usual, some of
the sisters got on steam and were surg
ing and plunging about as If regardless
of the safety of their limbs or necks.
Ed, who is represented to US as quiet,
good boy, undertook to hold one of the
more violently affected sisters, but in
so doing she threw back one of her arms
with great force, striking Ed. a most
violent blow across his chest and nearly
killing him out right at the time. lie
recovered slightly, however, but con-
tinued to complain, and frequently had
hemorrhages from the chest, or blood
splitting, and thus he fingered until Mon
day last when he died, as above stated. !"

Didn't Want to Separate Them

A few days ago, while Morristown
lady was perusing an old number of
Harper's Bazar, she came across. the fac
sinat5es of Mr. and Mrs. Algernon Sarto-
ris who were quietly placed side by side
of each other, looking lovely and SUI
premely happy. AS she gazed upon the
pair, she snatched up the scissors and
said; "Ah, Nelly, l have you now n
and just at the moment of plunging the
sharp instrument between the pair to
cut out Nelly, her mother entered the
room and asked what she was doing.
sob, only nothing, remarked the lady,
tam just cutting out Nellie Grant (here
holding out the paper and displaying
the two pictures) to paste on the inside
of my trunk" ''But pray" remarked
the mother, ''why separate the husband
and wife?" ''Why not take them both ?"
Because, replied the lady, "what do I
want with Nelly's man when I've got
one of my OWN" They were separated.

ceeded to Virginia in tine to pastie-
ipate in the battle of Manassas. Sub

Yicsburg, and was captured there.
AS soon as paroled he had his brig
age transferred to, cavalry service,
and performed srtluous duty in East
Tennessee and Western Virginia un
Til the close of the war. He has
practiced law since, and was Speak

Cheering News.

This week we were pleased with a
call fran Mr.. w. X. Blake Secreta-
ry and Treasury of the Spartanburg
C AsheVille Railroad. He speaks
in glowing terms Of the prospects of
the road, and looks upon its com
pletion at an early day as foregone
conclusion. His spirits receive their
buoyancy from the pledge made by
the East Tenn. and Georgia Rail-
road Company, who inform the off,
GERS of our road that they will rem
der them material aid as soon as the
success of S. & A. is assured. We
learn that their proposition is to
furnish the track iron from Wolf
Creek to Spartanburg as soon as the
road bed is graded and ties furnish
ed for laying the same. The esti-
mate for grading the road from
Spartanburg to Asheville if $780,
600. AS the company have $780,
000in stock already subscribed. there
will certainly be no great difficulty
in raising the remaining $4,000 to
complete so important an enter
prise.
Cannot the Convention in it's
sovereign capacity, pass an ordi-
nance ordering portion of the con-
vict labor to be put upon this work
and thus hasten its completion?
